To Our Dearest Christians Brothers $ Sisters: Do You Believe in Speaking in Tongues? - OOR and Writer Shares Her Experience



Firstly, I am one of the Christians who do not subscribe to speaking in tongues anytime anyhow.

No I do not believe it when a man of God or a prayer warrior opens his mouth and says; “Let’s speak in tongues”

And immediately the whole congregation breaks into it. I will stand there and shake my head in disbelief!

I was watching metro TV recently when a man of God was on the TGIF show saying, he is a longstanding man of God but he gets uncomfortable when people speak tongues into a speaker and there is nobody to translate.

Mr. Rotimi is not a hidden person when talking about an ambassador or a diplomat with a blacklist, but a country like Nigeria, influential people are hardly crucified despite their horrific and embarrassing attitude home and abroad.

"Is the stress on singles to get married worthwhile?"



I have always joked that my folks would one day marry me off to some stranger who is willing to have me without so much as collecting a dowry. Of course, I know my family members would never do such.
They’ll defend my honour till they draw their last breath. I am very sure  of that. 

Unlike me though, some women aren’t so lucky. Their folks would practically marry them off to anyone who would have them. And sometimes, these unlucky women don’t have a say in this matter. I have seen cases of women who were forced to say “yes” to a loveless marriage, just because they’re getting “too old.”
And in some ways, I understand what they must have been going through.
