She further revealed that the guidelines that worked for her speedily to overcome it is discipline, the holy spirit, and her partner.
Yetunde revealed that she prayer severally that God should please help her to sleep at night without masturbating and gradually she stepped out from the addiction.
Ponzi and Pyramid Schemes have become the order of the day, targeting unsuspecting Nigerians and swindling them of their hard-earned money. They usually come under the guise of making fast money (usually high return on investments) on a consistent basis and need more referrals to let older entrants cash out.
One of the biggest Ponzi schemes in Nigeria, MMM has stolen millions from Nigerians despite the founder having a 4-year jail sentence years prior to the entrance of the scheme in Nigeria & Africa.
Many Ponzi and Pyramid schemes these days even have CAC records and licences to operate as "investment" companies. In the end, if an "investment" seems too good to be true, promises overtly consistent returns like 10-30% returns every month. It probably is a scam.
Have you (or someone you know) been affected by a Ponzi Scheme? What's your story? and how do you know what to look out for in order to spot a Ponzi scheme?
Kylekent59: Is this what the mods want the next generation to look like?
You people are bastardizing the youth. What has Mercy done to deserve FP?
By showing her naked body or what?
Oga Boko Haram, she’s taking her so-called “naked body” to the beach... Feel free to take your own fully-clothed body to the nearest church or mosque.
Hypocritical Nigerians who cannot wait to emigrate to Canada and the West... Where “naked” bodies “bastardizing the youth” hasn’t stopped them built a society many Nigerians are dying to be part of. >
MALIGNANTGuest: She's an Abuse of the word "BEAUTIFUL" That's an Aberration as well as a misnomer. Let's tell ourselves the Truth, If MERCY washes off her Makeup, Armageddon will be a paradise.
She will benefit from both Facelift and SenseLift.
It’s actually a REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT supposedly not to have “brains” nor “beauty” and still make something of oneself... Shame that many of the commenters who apparently have both “beauty and brains” are confined to commenting about her on Nairaland. >
Yinka odumakin was a Nigerian human rights activist and politician. Until his death, he was the national secretary of Afenifere, a Pan-Yoruba socio-cultural group.
Must EVERYTHING be shared on social media these days? This is a PRIVATE moment, and it feels intrusive and even vulgar to watch it.
COFFINSELLER: 22-year-old Adeosun Goodness Taiye was born in Borno, North East Nigeria, but she is an indigene of Ogun State. Her mother is Igbo from Abia. The 400-level Dentistry student of University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, is the Creative Director of Gudie Designs, specialising in making shoes and all kinds of footwears. What she started as a pastime has transformed into a business entity which she hopes to grow to become a global brand, notwithstanding her busy schedule as a medical student.
> Said it many times on Nairaland (and elsewhere)... NIGERIANS ARE THE WORST THING TO HAPPEN TO NIGERIA!!
We can RIGHTLY blame our leaders all we want... But ultimately Nigeria’s condition is the culmination of the actions of ALL Nigerians (by commission or omission)! >
JuanJO: Though this is very illegal and the culprits should be arrested immediately.
But to think of it... Shebi you no that normal clean hustle like Gateman Job, some government employees, gardener Job, some teaching jobs, even a normal police officers that don't collect bribes can't even even feed his family.
Things are really getting out of hand. Ordinary indomie noodles don turn to big man food.
You cook chicken for general house, tomorrow landlord go increase your rent personally
Abeg police go and arrest the the hungry men cutting the rail lines.
purples25: This post is just my way of letting off steam. It is truly not easy to take care of teenagers. Those who have teenagers they care for can probably relate, and those who do not can have an inkling of what its like.
I am a senior sister and second mother to my 14 year old youngest brother, and 15 year old male cousin. They are such characters that they each deserve their own section. Here goes:
Troublesome Teenager Number 1, My 15 year old Cousin: I love my cousin, but he is a serious case. When he came to live with my family, I resolved not to touch him or discipline him extensively. People staying with others tend to bring up accusations of abuse, anything you do to them is attributed to the fact that they are not your immediate family. As a result, I and my brothers handle him like an egg.
The boy took ample advantage of this. From being sullen and disciplined, he became very wild. Many times he would take offence to the slightest correction. He also goes out when he likes, picks whatever he wants from the kitchen and watches movies on my laptop from dawn till dusk. Answers me back as he likes from time to time. My brothers are his role models but if I correct him, that's where the problem lies. I think he feels I cannot and should not tame him. The funniest thing he ever did was starting to act up after he was told that the only reason I was not touching him was so as not to create issues between his mom and us. He became bolder and even tried to deepen his already deepening voice.
Whenever his mom comes around, he turns me to his enemy. He starts to perpetuate the notion that he is a victim of abuse. The last time his mom was around, he started shouting at me at his whim and when I got angry one day and slapped him, his mother finally made him a celebrated hero. She almost took him home by midnight that day, because the image of an abused boy that she wanted so badly had finally been portrayed to her.
Troublesome Teen Number 2, my 14 year old brother: I love my little brother as well. I tried to raise him like people raise kids abroad. Talking to him gently when he misbehaves, explaining to him, punishing by taking things away or just small reprimands....
That shii didn't work. He became the most troublesome little boy I knew. Whenever his friends are around, he wants to show off to them by talking over me, ignoring my demands. I started to discipline him but before long, he knew how to run to the neighbors house, taking the cane from me, and running outside where the discipline would become a spectacle. Sometimes he even yells at me too. He has tried to beat a few adults who tried to beat him. But they gave him a good beating
Since when he was small, 'he wants what he wants.' If I don't give him something, sometimes he would go and take it. Sometimes I would catch him. Time and time again, even with warnings, things still disappear at will.
When any kid around him is being bad, he wants to do two times what that kid is doing, and be loved for it. He feels that is love. From the time that my cousin came around, and we told him that we cannot touch our cousin, else it would be termed as abusing a family member from another mother.....he has taken it as proof of love that however we pardon our cousin, we must pardon him. He copies what our cousin does, does worse, and always defends himself with the fact that we leave our cousin, we dont spare him.
Now we have come to the last part, my experience with these two kids combined...
The Terrible Two: The two of them constantly answer me back, laugh and joke and even encourage me to come and punish them. They feel no amount of beating from me can break them, maybe because I am a woman. However, they have full fear and respect for the males around them. If i try to talk to them they act as if someone or something insignificant is talking. Few times though, they try to calm the wild spirits inside them, and behave.
Things still disappear at home, and even if we are the only ones at home, they both co operate and deny everything. The co operate to disrespect me. They start joking and laughing right after I'm done with my long warnings or advice talks. They tell me to come and punish them, that they will enjoy the punishment. They have turned my laptop to their permanent TV, day, night and midnight, i cant use it. If i hide it, they find it, turn it on, play whatever on it as early as 5 am till 12 or 1 on weekends. They put games there, got a game pad and play till thy kingdom come, all without my consent. They don't answer me, they do what they like when they like.
They are only tame at school. These are not kids that are meek. These are tall versions of Aki and Pawpaw that are already as tall as me at the moment.
This morning, my mom called me and told me that handling these teens is all about patience.
If you have had difficulties with teens, you can talk about your experience, to make this more interesting and educative. If you were a troublesome or troubled teen, you can also share.
Ciao!
I used to be an “unruly” teenager... And now a professionally successful responsible young adult.
It’s a PHASE and they will most likely grow out of it... Just keep emphasizing the positives and core basic VALUES.
PS: BTW, beating is the WORST method of raising kids... It merely ingrains in kids that violence is okay and MIGHT IS RIGHT. >
Someone close to me is in a state of dilemma and needs advise.
He has been a contract staff in one of the leading commercial banks in Nigeria and was recently converted into a full staff. The issue now is he has been deployed from South West to extreme North (Maiduguri). He has tried every means to get redeployed but all efforts proved abortive.
Considering the fasting rise of unemployment in the country, he feels it's unwise to reject the offer. Still, he's in a state of dilemma.
Should he take the job offer, even though national security is at the lowest there?
Please advise.
Please feel free to reach out if you have any contact that can help, I'll be in the comment section.
Dear Mods, please kindly push to the front page.
What’s the point of a “good” job if you are dead? Cannot see how he can perform well without peace of mind.
Whatever he decides, BEST OF LUCK... He’ll probably do okay, since she already has a good track record. >
Myer: Lol there are two things involved. Clearly being successful as Linda is can never be useless. Even pastors are praying for her kind of wealth.
But looking at the Jacuzzi and the view in question, you also wonder if the post was necessary cos the view isn't even an ocean view or anything spectacular.
Those who don’t care for it can simply scroll on.... Simples! >
Wiseandtrue: So it's true, these Fulanis has succeeded in installing one of their own with an Igbo name as the governor o Imo state
No wonder a 4th position could be the governor of Imo State with the help of the supreme court
So the Fulanis wants to take over the Nigerian economy just as some are saying
Illiterate government, "suspected IPOB"
Regardless of the crooked (IMHO) way Uzodinma got into office... Why shouldn’t any DECENT human being be “disturbed” at the murdering of innocent people?
Any DECENT person should be APPALLED at the killing of innocent people... Regardless of which people are being killed and/or which people are doing the killing. SMDH >
nwekeugochukwu: A man took to Twitter to say "we need to dismantle misogyny" after he didn't get a share from his sister's bride price, IgbereTV reports.
He said bride price of 300,000 Naira was paid and his mother was given only 5,000 Naira while elders he's never seen in his life took the rest.
stormborn28: so you know but they are afraid to tax themselves... Imagine the tax the likes of Dino Malaye and Tinubu would be paying to government.... Nonsense everywhere
So what’s the difference between taxing car owners and higher fuel prices, which is effectively a DIRECT USAGE tax? As it is, many (probably most) Nigerians presently do not pay their taxes (or full taxes), why would another tax be any different?
The price of diesel has been completely DEREGULATED for several years now... Yet that is the fuel that truckers use to move goods around Nigeria and buses use to ferry ordinary Nigerians across the country. >
stormborn28: for your information... Very few people use kerosene now...how many people take flight? So does ones do not have much impact.... I still repeated.. There are areas the government can tax the rich politicians... Why not impose heavy tax on people with more than one or two vehicles... It is done elsewhere in Europe
Governments in Nigeria (at federal, state and local levels) are the single biggest car owners and users... Thus government should not be subsidizing its own CONSUMPTION with funds better expended on human capital development.
BTW, aviation is not limited to folks who “take flights”, it is an efficient means of logistics (as well as massive employer of labor). >
Divoc: There is anarchy already in North, followed by the south west, then south east...anarchy in Nigeria.
The SW is not trouble-free... But there’s NOTHING remotely resembling “anarchy” in the SW.
Irony in the SE is the state governors visit these burnout police stations and pledge to rebuild them... In the process, funds that may have otherwise gone to schools, hospitals, etc., go to rebuilding police stations. >
stormborn28: I think you have lost your sense of guide... Tell me how is the president treating every Nigerian equally... Instead of the president to make laws the will alleviate the suffering of the general masses ,all he does is keep hurting them ...the useless president gave approval to increase prices of fuel, electricity ,closed borders just mention few...
How do you expect anarchy not to reign....
Imagine Fulani herdsmen destroying farmlands and killing, raping and maiming but all the stupid government could do is to run after IPOB with the useless general Buratashi creating several crocodile smile...not forgetting bandits kidnapping in the north....do you think you have a protecting government or president... Nonsense everywhere
The border closure was a DUMB idea (as I have argued many times here on NL)... But absolutely NOTHING WRONG with a cost-reflective pricing for fuel and electricity.
Even the roadside Akara seller does not sell her products for LESS than it cost... But YOU are free to go produce fuel and electricity production and give it away for free if you like.
Meanwhile, the Trillion-Naira yearly subsidy is MORE than the budget for education, health, agriculture, etc. These are funds that should be expended on schools, hospitals, security, infrastructure, social security, etc.
Irony is that prices of kerosene, diesel and aviation fuel are all DEREGULATED... Yet these are the products that have a relatively more direct impact on the MASSES than petrol. SMH >
lexy2014: It's left to be determined if d attackers are Biafran agitators. There's nothing wrong with d Biafran agitation but like u rightly noted, engaging in this form of violence is uncalled for. It takes away whatever sympathy d public might give. Hopefully, it's not d Biafran people that are responsible for this.
Completely agree!!
As a proud Nigerian, I am totally against Biafran secession... But people should be free to agitate PEACEFULLY for Biafra.
The only appropriate response is PEACEFUL counter-arguments... And ideally it should all be settled PEACEFULLY by a referendum. >
Naajjii: Nobody wants Igbo to stay, you can all get out from our land and go form your country. You can also destroy all the police and prison in your ritualist infested east, let hoodlums and criminals take over your region we dont care. Now you people are killing our people from the north without provocation and you people are proud, by the time the table turned you people will come here and start crying northerner this northerners that. One thing i can assure you nyamiri people is Igbo can never rule us, you people are slaves and second class people, you can never rule Nigeria, you can only rule yourselves in your Igbo only Biafra
I with you until the highlighted CRUDE PRIMITIVE DEMAGOGUERY?! SMDH >
Wayne4uall: The bitch way leave her husband after she made am...
Quit being such a CRUDE PRIMITIVE MISOGYNIST... Is she a slave? If a marriage is no longer working, it’s in the best interest of BOTH parties to part ways. >
Dexpro: -Belgium named them Zaire. However, they rejected it, restructured & renamed themselves Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Without prejudice to everything else you wrote, this is INCORRECT... The Belgians named them Congo (Kinshasa), Mobutu changed it to Zaire, was disposed and changed back to (DR) Congo.
PS: Meanwhile, was born a Nigerian... And fate willing, will live a long life and ultimately proudly die as a Nigerian.
No interest in only living among people who look and sound alike... And find it rather ironic that Nigerians in the diaspora would seek to promote that. >
