Good evening nairaland family. I hope this week is going on well? Let me quickly go straight to point as you read.

I started growing beards long ago even before I gained admission into the university but I like shaving everything off whenever it's grows. And before 2 weeks my beards will grow back quickly. Sometimes my barber do ask me if I'm a soldier whenever I ask him to shave everything off.

Recently I started developing bums on my cheeks down to my jaw and it was making my face rough whenever I shave off my beards so I decided to stop shaving it. Yesterday, I went to the salon and told my barber to calv my beards, he was even surprise and same time happy for me and truly beards really fit me.

Omo! Since yesterday I never rest, my papa say I look a cultist, say beards no fit me, that I should barb it off bla bla bla.. As if that wasn't enough, my pastor saw me in church this evening after service, then he started preaching to me that beards is for irresponsible people, world changers don't keep beards bla bla bla...

Abeg shey Jesus Christ no get beards? The God y'all are worshipping no get beards? So Why is my pastor saying trash to me. Nna! My beards has come to stay and if they don't like it, that's their cup of tea.

Nobody cares when bums was destroying my face, now I'm trying to prevent it,.. They are making feel as if I'm a cultist. Abeg o.

Lol

I don't have a girlfriend for now.but everyone are cool with it.

It's just my Pman and my pastor that's having issues with the beards.

Ok. Your beards, your rules. Don't allow anyone dictates how you keep them unless they're paying for the cut.

Your papa talk say u ook like cultist

Dem need to wipe better oraimo cord on that ur pastor neck

Are you still collecting pocket money, eating free food, free house? Then its your father's house you keep his rules. Them been no dey allow me keep hair not to talk of beards but ones you move out they'd find a way to get use to it. If you no get money and you still dey your papa haas you still be small boy, you can never grow pass them

First, this should not be another opportunity to insult your pastor, the church, or Jesus Christ like you all do online. Everything in this life is contextual.

If you live among Urhobo people, it is permissible for men to wear skirt and wrapper. Wear skirt in Kano or Sokoto and get stoned.

Back in my Uni days, face cap and berets were specifically "reserved" for cultists. Would it make sense for me to come here and inquire about whether it is OK or inappropriate for me to wear a face cap while I am well aware that, as a JJC, I may be attacked by some rival cult boys? If I came here to get other people's opinions, I would be stup!d.

It's pointless to give you advice on how to maintain your beards because, where I live, beards are not just grown by cultists. However, I will NEVER keep one if I ever go to Sokoto or any core northern state in order to avoid being mistaken for a Muslim.

Wisdom is profitable to direct. In everything and in every form of wokeness, get wisdom and understanding.

That is if you don't keep it neat.

Lol... @ "Jesus Christ no get beards".

It could be because they are already used to your innocent looks without the beards and maybe you carved yours in a way that is giving cultist vibes.

Me I like and prefer neatly carved goaty on my man. Not the the Rick Ross kinda beards.

A pics would have help us understand your dad's worries and pastors reaction. No pics so we can't really say if it suits you or not.

Go and take it down if it's causing unecessary suspicions. Make you self rest.

OP...

There's something called "PERCEPTION" ...
You may not be "it" but acting and looking a certain way could make you appear to be "it" and thus people will treat you as such ...

I'm not saying you should live your life to please people, all I'm saying is that you apply wisdom in your dealings with men ...

There's a way you can act in some places and it'll bring you unnecessary consequences, so just abide by the rules of where you are and avoided unnecessary conflict, that's all ...

Bros, if you read the book of Leviticus well, you will understand that man shouldn't even shave beards.

Leave pastor make him dey talk him own

Are you also surprised? Jumping from thread to thread. I am sure this very guy is jobless.
