It’s hard enough to have a fun and enjoyable date with someone nice and decent. It’s twice as hard to go on a date with someone who’s not only nice and decent but whom you share a common faith with. The thing is, you rarely find someone whom you might like in your church or prayer community. That is how Christian dating services come to exist.

If you are the type of person who has a deep faith and who intends to practice it at all times and at all costs, then most probably you want to have a partner who’s going to share the same intention as yours. Have you found one? If not yet, why don’t you take some time to consider joining the Christian online dating services? For sure, you’ll find the perfect partner of yours.

Typical of a Christian is the desire to raise his family in a home that’s filled with faith and peace. As of the moment, the number of Christian online dating services websites has exceeded the availability of those websites that focus on Jewish and Muslim dating services. With being a member of a Christian dating website, you’ll find it enjoyable to be able to get connected with someone of the opposite sex for some promising romantic relationship, be able to chat or conduct healthy conversations online, have someone who’s going to share the same views and values regarding your faith, get worthy advice on how to cope up with the usual struggles that every Christian happens to encounter, have somebody to share your favorite Bible passages with, and many others. As you try out signing up for these dating services, you are certain to mark some important changes in your life.

Many websites for Christian dating services are termed as non-denominational. Meaning, everyone who belongs from various churches are welcomed. Of course, one requirement is for you to indicate the church of yours in your personal profile. The personal profile that you create upon signing up will be used by the rest of the members in finding the perfect partner for themselves.

Over the years, the Christian dating services online have gained a wide popularity. For the individuals who don’t find partying or going out a lot an interesting thing to do, signing up for a dating services website would be more than enough. True indeed, there are millions of Christians who are brought together by these dating websites. Even when one is at home, the search for a perfect match continues.

General  tips to consider

As soon as you spot your prospect partner, start off with sending emails, SMS, or talking through the phone or chat. Don’t be too aggressive to ask the person out at once.

Be cautious as always. You never know how genuine your newly met people are. After all, the internet is a host to several fraud cases.

Be careful with what you say. There may be extra sensitive individuals that you might offend.

Value a commitment. Don’t promise anything if you can’t fulfill it in any way. You’re just about to ruin your reputation if you do so.

Start an interesting conversation. It would determine the possibility of a promising relationship.

Christian online dating is highly popular today so there’s never going to be a problem with your search of a partner. Being single or alone will simply end as soon as you spot your favored partner. Just be sure that you log on to a safe and non tricky website. Most of the administrators though allow feedbacks so you can always check out the reputation of one website against another. Start now and be amazed at the changes in you

 What to Expect and look out for

There are many reasons why people join these sites. While most people seek to develop a serious romantic relationship with others, there are some who join these sites to find a prayer partner or to develop fun friendships with people whom they share common beliefs and interests with. Whatever your reason is, the good thing of meeting someone through these websites is Christ’s presence in your relationship. As your relationship grows, so does your faith in God. That, alone, is reason enough to join these websites.

The mechanism is simple. You register by filling out a form, upload a picture, and have your own mailbox. Once you’ve completed registration, you may then see their catalog or database. Here you are able to see members. You can make particular searches by age or area, depending on your preference. You can then send messages to people whom you might want to meet or pursue. If they respond, then it can be the beginning of something.

There are basically two types of these sites – free and commercial. Free sites do not ask their members for any charge. As for these commercial sites, they may or may not allow free trials for a short period. The prices of these sites differ as well. These are some things that you would have to consider in choosing a website.

What else should you consider? First, make sure that it is private and safe. Avoid sites which ask you to post your real name, address, work information or other personal information for other people to access. There are also some sites which personally pre-screen their members. This gives an assurance that a real person is on the other side and not a mere “ghost” or con man.

What other services do these sites provide? Aside from matchmaking services, they may also post relevant information such as safety dating tips and general dating advice. They remind you to be careful in giving out personal information, to get to know the other person more before agreeing to meet personally, to choose a public place in case you decide to meet. Who knows, the other person might turn out to be a serial killer or stalker.

Some sites also have forums or chat rooms where members can interact. This is also another chance to find interesting people, as you are able to converse and exchange views with them. They may also include other features such as bible commentary and testimonials from members.

Christian dating services are the “in” thing nowadays. While nothing beats the traditional way of approaching someone and asking for her or his number, in today’s fast-paced world, the internet is also another way to meet and get to know people. As long as you are open to new ideas, these dating services can actually work for you. So why don’t you give these sites a try. Browse through them and see if they work for you.

Mohbad was suicidal… he surrounded himself with cultists, says Naira Marley

Published

By

Naira Marley, the Marlian Records head honcho, has claimed Mohbad, his ex-signee, battled with mental issues before his death.

Mohbad died on September 12. Marley is one of the persons of interest in the singer’s demise.

In a recent chat with Reno Omokri, Marley said he tried to seek help for Mohbad after learning about the late singer’s “mental health issues” from an associate.

He said he was ready to send him abroad for treatment and “pay for a lot of scans but his parents said they want to take him for treatment”.

“I was out of the country, I came back, and the people you surround yourself with are telling me all these things that he forgot his password. They said he forgets things quickly,” he said.

“So I was just trying to get help for him. That is why I was with his family; his dad and mum, if you can get the full video. You can see them complaining, telling me about the way he is moving and I am telling them too I heard he forgot lyrics. This is still the stage when I am trying to find help or see what was wrong with him.

“I did pay for a lot of scans for him to get scanned… And as I said, he was a little bit paranoid. So I was trying to take it easy by finding what was wrong. Remember he made a video to say ‘if anything happened to him, It is Naira Marley’. So I was just trying to find the best out of him.

“I spoke about maybe he can travel out to check properly. Then, I am thinking okay, I do not want him to start wandering up and down. I need someone to travel with him that he trusts.

“And then he said that it is his mom and dad that would understand what is wrong with him. And then his mom and dad said they want to take him for treatment.”

Marley also alleged that Mohbad tried to commit suicide before his demise.

The Marlian Records boss claimed Mohbad broke down several times and vowed to take his own life while he was alone.

Marley also alleged that the late singer “surrounded himself with a lot of bad people and cultists”.

“I believe that people around him know a lot of things. I do understand that he was surrounding himself with a lot of bad people; a lot of cultists,” he said.

On Tuesday, the record label boss said he would honour the police invitation to assist in the ongoing investigation of Mohbad’s death. He also insisted that “I have no hand in Mohbad’s death”.

Marley earlier said although they had “disagreements, no harm whatsoever was wished on Mohbad”.

AFRIMA mourns Mohbad, call for institutions in African music industries

Published

All Africa Music Awards, AFRIMA, has emphasized the importance of regulating and institutionalizing the music entertainment industry as it joins millions of African youths and music fans to express grief over the demise of Nigeria’s singer, Mohbad, (real name Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba).

Mohbad died on Tuesday, September 12, 2023, in an event that has generated massive public reaction.

The 27-year-old budding music star also known as Imole (Light) was a young and very promising artist whose creativity and amazing gift have made him produce highly thrilling lyrics that have warmed the hearts of millions of fans across the world.

The President and Executive Producer, AFRIMA, Mike Dada, in a statement, while lamenting that Africa has lost a promising talent in its growing music industry in a shocking manner, noted that institutionalization of the music/entertainment industry remains a top priority in curbing the unprofessional practices that have been existing within the industry in Africa.

He said; “On behalf of the International Committee of AFRIMA, we condole with Nigeria’s music industry, parents and fans of Mohbad, over his painful demise. The death of Mohbad is a tragic event that has left us all deeply saddened. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones of the deceased during this difficult time.

With his demise, Africa has lost a promising talent in our growing music and entertainment industry. We pray God to grant him eternal rest and grant his parents, family, and teeming fans the fortitude to bear his irreplaceable loss.

AFRIMA is spearheading efforts to mobilize stakeholders in the creative industry in Africa, with a focus on Nigeria, to establish institutionalized operations and regulate the music entertainment industry.

It is necessary to have a law that regulates the music industry to prevent it from becoming an unregulated free-for-all, as currently, the entry requirements are low such that anyone can just wake up and establish a music record label.

To address this issue, African countries must establish a Music Institute to certify practitioners regularly.

AFRIMA urges stakeholders, including relevant government officials and agencies, artists, record labels, A&R, producers, promoters, artiste’s managers, brands, songwriters, DJs & video vixens, video directors, equipment production and rental companies, publishing companies, streaming service companies, entertainment lawyers, royalty companies, choreographers/dancers, entertainment/music journalists and media, culture and music enthusiast, other supporting professionals: cameramen, editors, make-up, hairstylist, costumiers, among others, to participate in this crucial process. We urge stakeholders to submit their proposed legislation for review and consideration.”

AFRIMA’s concerns echo the call for justice for the late musician whose passing has created suspicion of foul play. The Nigerian Police are currently investigating the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death as the public keenly awaits the outcome.

Musicians and celebrities from Nigeria and internationally including Kodak Black, Lil Durk, and Meek Mill have all paid tributes to the late Street Hop sensation whose music has enjoyed a resurgence in the streaming platforms in Nigeria.
