Nice one.
However, she definitely enjoyed lots of privileges not enjoyed by many newbies.

Because she had a steady pay job, she could afford to advertise, buy traffic, etc.

Many upcoming chaps don't have that luxury for a start and are actually expecting their first major money to come from blogging!.

SHINE ON GIRL!

AM NOT SURPRISED!

How that bridge managed to survive till now still beats my imagination. And to think that all the trucks from refinery, OGFZA, INTELS, etc pass there daily!!!!.

Uncle Jona went to Okrika to bury mama peace's mother and they poured chipping on the road

All the delegation from the present government to Ogoni pass through that sorry road too.

Want to know what all these means

Let me stop here.

Donald Trump's principle on this is simple but works like magic here.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU LOVE YOUR SPOUSE, ALWAY SIGN A PRE NUP. THIS CANNOT BE OVER EMPHASIZED. MARRIAGE IS MADE IN HEAVEN BUT SETTLED IN COURT.

If you want the audio book of that plus other books, simply get LIFE'S ANTIDOTE DVD. SEARCH OLX AND JIJI FOR IT!

But guess what? The are making headlines now........

You have said it straight. It might not tingle the ears of those that would want to filter reality, however, truth is truth. The church has dodged its responsibility and it has no choice but to suffer the consequences.

The quote for today's weekly energizer comes from Bob Proctor in his personal development program called The winner's choice: 12 power principles for winning the mind game.

As part of the introduction for the second power principle called responsibility, Bob Proctor reminded us that:
WE MIGHT EASILY DODGE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WE WILL NEVER DODGE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DODGING OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
This quote of Bob Proctor is very apt for our consideration as we begin this new week. While it might seem exhilarating after an ephemeral analysis that we are able to dodge our responsibility, the truth is that taking responsibility is where our freedom actually lies. When we take responsibility, we put ourselves in a situation where we call the shots in our own lives despite the external circumstances.

If we let ourselves off the hook and play the blame game by passing the buck, the truth is that our lives will remain whatever the person we have passed the buck to makes of it. Who can design a better life for us than ourselves? I will suggest we take responsibility for everything in our lives today so that we can enjoy the rewards sooner or later.

This analysis is correct both for individuals, families, religious organizations, corporations or communities. As the weekly energizers are not meant to be long, I will use the trending issue of the OZUBULU MASSACRE OR OZUBULU MASS KILLING to illustrate how this concept of responsibility affects organizations and communities.

Before I do the analysis, let me clearly state that I condemn the Ozubulu massacre in strongest terms. Such act is barbaric and even demonic. The mere thought of such depravity exudes utter disrespect for the sanctity of human life that will make the devil cringe. My heart goes out to all those who lost loved ones and I pray that the soul of all the faithfuls departed rest in peace! Speedy recovery I wish all those who are hospitalized.

And now for some reality 101.
I was listening to the news this morning when they were doing the news paper headline reviews. Some persons called in condemning the police and the state government for being too quick to allege that the heinous crime was perpetrated by Drug barons who are natives of Ozubulu. According to the majority of these callers, the rushed allegation smacks of a cover up. They preferred to be told that this dastard act was committed by either boko haram or the Fulani herdsmen. So much for religion and ethnicity.

[b]The truth is that the church and the community suffered in the Ozubulu massacre because they dodged their responsibility of correcting and standing against what is wrong #ItTakesAVillage. The church had the greatest responsibility and yet it floundered. Maybe that is why it was used as the stage for the Ozubulu massacre. The society now celebrates evil provided it comes with money. Recently, a flamboyant affluent young man whose source of wealth remains officially unknown was being analyzed. You need to see the amount of people saying things like "I DONT CARE IF HE DRINKS BABY BLOOD", "THOSE QUESTIONING HIS SOURCE OF WEALTH SHOULD SHUT UP ABEG", "MONEY IS KING AND LORD". ETC. I will not bore you much with more examples because most of us are already familiar with the drill. You can see just two of such threads here: EXAMPLE THREAD ONE and EXAMPLE THREAD TWO

It is this same attitude that has permeated the society and eaten deep into our moral fabric even the church. The church has refused responsibility to act as a correcting agent. It honors the highest tither and the highest donor. They get the front row seat and make the laws. Even the clergy becomes subservient if he is not so affluent but if he measures up, they become best friends. What do you expect from the congregation that looks up to the church? The church shy away from the responsibility of reproving those going astray but rather eulogize them so as to continue benefiting from their generosity. Little wonder that it cannot dodge the consequences of heaping great reproach on itself and on God's name. The church can now be a 'justifiable' theatre of political, occultic and drug wars because its benefactors are politicians, drug lords, and highly placed occultists. Little wonder that the church suffers dire consequences. Asides the painful loss of lives, you can see for yourself the magnitude of mockery the church received in the comments here: CHURCH MOCKERY OVER THE OZUBULU MASSACRE

While I am aware that warring factions sometimes kill parents who did not support their kids in their evil ways, it is also true that very few parents stand up against children whose evil ways have yielded pecuniary gains. Even while it may not be so glaring, these parents, because they have dodged their responsibility cannot dodge the consequences. For them, Lucky Dube's lyrics in reap what you sow are immortal. I have reproduced it below from AZ Lyrics:

"Reap What You Sow"

We hear you crying
So bitterly
Trying to get people to help you ye ye
But nobody will
Your son was brutalizing people everytime.
But you said nothing
Now it's the time to pay the price
It's time to pay ye ye ye ye

[Chorus:]
You gonna reap just what you sow [x4]

Coming back home
With stolen things
Instead of telling him
How wrong he was
You told him how clever he was
People coming out of burning houses
It's your son Driving stolen cars every time
It's your son,
But you said nothing
But now he's turning against you

[Chorus:]
You gonna reap just what you sow [x3]

Everybody knows
No jail can keep him
'Cause you rubbing shoulders with the law
But now it's time to pay the price wo... woh

[Chorus: till fade]
You gonna reap just what you sow

As we conclude the weekly energizer for this week, take this lesson with you:
WE MIGHT EASILY DODGE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WE WILL NEVER DODGE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DODGING OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Also remember that until parents, churches, etc reclaim their responsibility of speaking out against evil without fear or favour, they can never dodge the consequences of their laxity! Rip to those massacred in ozubulu and may God grant those they left behind the fortitude to bear the loss. Have a blessed week.

PenSniper:
I've been waiting to hear the officiating priest's comment or testimony before airing my main opinion on this tragedy.

1. I don't know why this blood-red colour for a man of Gods' robe seems always looks satanic to me.

2. The funds used to build the church and probably sustain it comes from alleged proceeds from drugs. This fact is no secret to the church leadership yet they accept it with glee. According to biblical teachings, not all sources of making money agrees with Gods' will. It's a different kettle of fish entirely if the priest is ubaware of the source but to accept such tainted money and material donations that come with is sacrilegious and amounts to tacit or implicite support for criminality. This reminds one of the sin of Achan in the Bible which brought severe repercusions on the children of Israel until Joshua cried unto God who revealed the reason for His turning His back on them. The entire family of Achan paid the price for this sacrilege.
Readers are free to deduce their opinions from this but the bottomline of my insinuation is that not all donations or seeds sown are acceptable to the holy God of the Bible. He cannot be bribed nor is He a respecter of any person. Worse still, some who claim to be eye witnesses but are privy to the local knowledge of the connections of the drug baron have been erroneously passing the buck on hausa-fulani genocide claiming to have seen many assailants in army fatigue and vehicles. One even claimed to watch the gate blocked by the vehicles, watched the subsequent massacre but "failed" to note the vehicle's plate number.
And he attends mass and eats the "holy cummunion" daily. Lord've mercy.

You catch am!!!!

A sad event indeed!

These are the type of youths Nigeria needs!

Kudos to you great guy

HIGHLY DECEPTIVE POST

I can write a rejoinder to counter 70% of your points!

The only two valid considerations are:
1. You can easily communicate in your dialect when you want privacy (meaning you don't want others to hear your secret talk)
and
2. You have an almost unfettered access to their background records/history owing to the sea of your relatives who will be ready to volunteer information for as long a generation as you might want. Interestingly, this might not even be a true reflection of the particular girl you are getting married to especially if she grew up away from the village or family!!!

Very nice post for all those interested in online selling

Truth is, some are for friend zone, some are for intimate matters.......BALANCE....

blackface123:
I don't understand how u people in this cursed Nigeria reason.
There is drug war in SA,and shootings spread to this remote village in Igboland.
why are they covering up.A witness is saying something else,some mumus on nairaland are taking it for jokes or lies.If it was a revenge or payback,
d drug Lord has himself and family members
of whom I don't think it will be difficult to locate.
From what I know about all these drug fights,they try as much as limit it to themselves and family members.To me all these scenario is being politicize. Let's be careful.This type of mayhem cannot happen in bigger churches,cause the security is tight.
May d Lord take control.RIP to the dead.May their spirits hunt and exposo those behind this bastardly and inhuman act.

@ the emboldened, don't say it can't happen in bigger churches. We can only be very vigilant pray against it. Evil does not choose where to strike, if it were so then military formations will not be sacked: If you are over powered, you are conquered!!!

No jail can keep him
'Cause you rubbing shoulders with the law
But now it's time to pay the price wo... woh

[Chorus: till fade]
You gonna reap just what you sow

As we conclude the weekly energizer for this week, take this lesson with you:
WE MIGHT EASILY DODGE OUR RESPONSIBILITY, BUT WE WILL NEVER DODGE THE CONSEQUENCES OF DODGING OUR RESPONSIBILITY.
Also remember that until parents, churches, etc reclaim their responsibility of speaking out against evil without fear or favour, they can never dodge the consequences of their laxity! Rip to those massacred in ozubulu and may God grant those they left behind the fortitude to bear the loss. Have a blessed week.

Nice one...

That was rather dumb, daft and uncalled for! Little wonder President Trump won them in a wrestling bout on twitter

Always forming gods in other people's matter....
