This season comes once every year. It is that time of the year when people scamper to meet up with goals they set at the beginning of the year, as if to say they slept sometime in January and woke up in ember month.

Over the years, some people have done grave things, perpetrated evil, so that they'd "belong," going into the new year.

Like most, at the turn of 2016, I had set goals, I had expectations too -- while some have been achieved, others have not gone as planned. However, I cannot say that I have not had a wonderful 2016, no, I actually have enjoyed this year, irrespective of some hitches encountered. I have had a swell year, irrespective of witnessing unfulfilled promises. I am not one to involve in any unprintable or illegal activity to fill up the gap. If anything, I am grateful for where I am today; for the things I have achieved so far; for the privilege I have enjoyed since birth.

We are in week 46 of 52, that is, roughly 44 days to 2017 and nothing delights me more than the fact that mangoes will soon be available.

Hiqhscore:
Its very dissapointing to see everything written didnt seem to ans the question




The only thing this our webmasters knows best is to argue about web host


Back to ur question
Where this problem comes from is the way we grew to understand web extentions
.com actually means the website is a commercial entity
.co means the website is a company entity.
.com.ng means its a nigeria commercial entity.
.co.location signifies a company in a particular location, and most of this extention users host the website themselves

Why i think .co.ng is not a common extention is because in nigeria all our companies here do serve a commercial purpose

Now, we have come to the end of this thread/topic; everybody, go home!

Our generation is too distracted! We are worse than the previous (and I fear for the next), especially with advancements in technology, the birth of the internet and smartphone. We consider cyber trolling, cyber stalking, and cyber bullying tops. We rather a Twitter and Facebook overlords than actual physical connection. We rather rant on social media than contribute even a mustard-seed-size quota to nation-building.

It is a known fact that the government over the years have shown little (or no?) concern about education. UNICEF once recommended that 26% of our national budget go to education, although that is a moot point. Who are they to advise us? Are we not sovereign and independent of external influence? We can make our budget anyway and anyhow we want – we can go as far as to pad it!

The people in government do not want us to get educated because if we do, we will become enlightened, and when that happens, it will become difficult for them to loot. Why do you think they rather education become very expensive? We all know this, since it is an established fact. Why then do we go ahead to give them advantage to do more harm? Why have we not tried to change this? Why do we thrive in mundane things – even with all our education?

An average Nigerian youth will never engage you in political discourse – things that affect us DIRECTLY as a people. When you try to talk about it, they flip. “What is my stake?” They will ask. They will say people in government can do what they like, when they like, and how they like. We feel less concerned!

Enter, Religion.

I am of the opinion that religion has done us more harm. Let me not go into details of how it has divided rather than unite us, lest we derail from the topic.

In my country, we celebrate mediocrity. Some will rather fast and pray to achieve something that they could ordinary achieve if they put in little work. Everything is spiritual! You see your university classmate like and type “AMEN” on a Facebook post simply because it came in form of a prayer by a parody account with the name of their celebrity man of God. No, I am not trying to dispel faith or act of God… is it not worrisome that we can hardly find religious organisations that are concerned about developments of her congregants? How many religious organisations preach about involvement in politics or nation-building? How many encourage her congregants to pay tithes, nay, taxes? The truth is that we are too carried away – we have lost touch with reality. If religions preach/teach good morals and participation in things that concern our society, we will have a better place to call our own. Citizens will be happy to perform their civic obligations. It is bloodcurdling to know that what is obtainable is the direct opposite. When you walk into a church/mosque/temple/shrine, you feel totally separated from the world, you forget your worries, you forget the hardship, and you forget everything! It is good that religion makes one feel safe, however, we can have it safer.

We need to get involved more in 'things of the world'. We need to get deeply involved in nation-building. We are too quick to blame government, yet we fail to realise that government alone CANNOT influence directly WITHOUT OUR contribution. If we must witness the change we desire, we must forgo frivolities, and help our nation in her journey to greatness. Indeed, CHANGE BEGINS WITH YOU!

After I wrote SSCE, some of my friends decided that it was time for me to have a girlfriend. So, they arranged and talked to me about it.

After all the gra-gra* and I don't want, I agreed to it (peer pressure). So, who will it be? The ultimate search for Bae began. Somehow, one of them got the phone number of one of his classmates from primary school. The number was given to me, we started talking... the girl asked how I got her number and I told her it was given to me in a dream.

The girl's voice was... how do I qualify it? Divine? Angelic? It was that good! Social media wasn't dominant then, so there was no way I could have seen a picture of her anywhere. Weeks passed... months... then we decided to meet.

It was a breezy evening, my friend (the Bae bringer) and I set out to meet her at a bar. On our way, I asked him again how the girl looked, and he answered that he hadn't seen her since after their primary four, so he wasn't sure. He had told me this earlier but I asked again that night maybe because I needed assurance that she was VERY GOOD LOOKING and all.

Fast-forward >>

We were at the bar, the girl ordered a bottle of BIG GUINNESS STOUT... and no, she wasn't all that good in looks but I was unimpressed about her attitude more than her looks. She was loud, impudent, and from her gist, I thought she was meretricious. My friend and I left after she guzzled her second bottle. I blacklisted her number after that night.

THE END!

This is good. It should be extended to a week till dey release our director. Even a month self

Who will bear the brunt -- Nigerian government or the traders who refuse to display their wares for sale?

Good evening, everyone.

I've been unable to create a new topic. I don't know if anyone else is experiencing such.

What could be the problem? Could it mean that I've been banned? If that's the case, may I know what rule I violated?

I haven't been here long enough to fall into trouble na.

Lalastica, farano, Rocktation, and other mods, kindly treat as urgent.

It's actually both.

If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? (James 2:15-16)


This Bible passage struck me! Many of us are guilty of this, including people who claim to work for the Lord in His vineyard.

Someone once shared a story about a supposed man of God; in the story, a fellow met his priest and complained about how life has been tough for them, and how they have found it almost impossible to feed. After telling this heartbreaking story, the priest prayed for this fellow and blessed them in God's name, but did not give any monetary or material assistance. Moments later, money fell off the priest's pocket and this fellow picked it up.... I do not know if this will be counted as sin against the fellow, but that is talk for another time.

Christians need to learn the act of giving - and giving without holding back (Proverbs 21:26). Some Christians suppose that faith only saves them and there is no need for works. One cannot save himself, anyway; saving faith is all that matters.

Let us understand the above passage in relation to a natural sense.

...a brother or sister; anyone from your church, school, place of work, or even a total stranger.

...without clothing; such as will neither keep them warm, nor clean and decent; for they must not be supposed to be entirely naked, but to be in a very uncomfortable and indecent dress.

...in need of daily food; have not food sufficient for the day or anything to support nature with, and yield them proper refreshment and nourishment.

A [Christian] fellow should be supplied with necessaries of life. The firm faith that he will be supplied with food without accordant action will lead to starvation - in worst cases, sickness and/or death - it is vain. Consequently, a sentimental belief in virtue, piety, morality and things of that sort is useless if it does not resolve into action.

We should show compassion and mercy without hesitation to all men, and give with a good heart. While giving, do not give reluctantly or by compulsion (2 Corinthians 9:7).

Let us give from that which God has blessed us. "And if you have not the wherewithal to give to him that needeth, have compassion for him in bowels of mercy" (cf. Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, Zeb. xii. 1–3).

I got same response.

Its not bad though. Just that you should stop talking about it as if it deserves an award.
That was roughly the same result I got almost 20yrs ago and had to go write NECO to save my face.

"Football loving Nigerians can watch 33 LIVE EPL football matches on StarTimes and enjoy the super sporting actions as te new 2016/2016 season kicks off in August. Replay matches would also be available for subscribers who missed the games to catch up."



33 out of 380 matches available?! You can only watch what they offer.

Reminds me of when NTA boasted about rights to broadcast the EPL on weekends. Some weekends they broadcasted, on other weekends they announced how sorry they were for not being able to broadcast.

Well, it's a step in the (right?) direction. Kudos to StarTimes.

The post has since been deleted, but that wasn't before Google bots crawled and indexed it.

General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor E. A. Adeboye had this to say on Facebook about beards.

Is there a religious law for or against beards. Christian religious scholars what are your opinions?

So you are in support of Dino Melaye. Are you telling me that you would beat up any woman and rape (or threaten to rape) any woman that insults you?
Let me ask you one question;
Are you married? Cause i know that that your new found Hero, Dino is not married.

I am not violent. I don't/won't condone violence. I can't find a paragraph or even a sentence where I insinuated support for any of the parties involved. My point is the hypocrisy of those who were mute when situation called for voices but have now found it worthy to rally against Senator Melaye.

IamPatriotic:
Must you write something regardless how nonsensical and unreasonable.

Are you sure you understood the post?

razortruth:
Where is your area?

Aba, Abia State.

The hypocrisy in Nigeria surprises the devil. It raises my blood pressure whenever it crosses my mind.

The news about Senator Dino Melaye verbally abusing Senator Oluremi Tinubu have been everywhere on radio, TV, and all over the cyberspace. While some people have hauled insults on Dino for threatening to rape and impregnate a fellow senator, others have fingered Remi for her having a sewer mouth. "Why should she call him a dog and a thug?" "Is it because she feels that she's untouchable?" Is it because she's the wife of Bola Tinubu?" etc.

The funny part of this is that the media was NOT in the closed-door meeting where the said incident took place but can you guess how we got the news?

Senator Melaye has since held a press conference to address the issue. He admitted to have verbally abused Senator Tinubu but has denied ever threatening to rape or impregnate her. He narrated what transpired and how Remi had bad-mouthed him. No one, on the other hand, has come out to say otherwise of his claim. Not even the abused female senator.

Yesterday in the news, I saw women who led protests against Senator Melaye for his alleged uncouth statement. Some of them carried placards that read "Dino is a wife beater" "Dino is a thug" Dino this". "Dino that".

What I find repugnant is how those women suddenly found their voices and rose in defence of the VOICELESS female senator. Were they dead when Ese Oruru was kidnapped, forcefully converted to Islam, married off, and impregnated? How come they weren't resurrected when Fulani herdsmen raped and killed women and children in Benue? Who mummified them when the same Fulani herdsmen ran rampage in Enugu? How mysterious were their graves when wives of pastors were being killed in Kano and Abuja?

I know that something must kill a man but I won't let mine be hypocrisy.

Even if they like, let them introduce glo stew plan, I won't be interested. A situation where you hardly use 200mb out of the so called 10gb in glo network before it expires due to snail network problem is absolute nonsensical

Kindly gift me some, glo is VERY good in my area.

Giving our babies food to eat should also count as violation. We shouldn't give newborns milk when they have the choice to select pounded yam, fufu, egusi, and/or ewedu.

UN should focus on collective security, biko.

Ffk I know is not clean from the onset. Probing him for fraud is a welcome development cos seeing him jumping up and down during Gej campaigns shows he is not innocent. 250m bail is no beans men, if he can afford that then there is more to it than meeting the eyes. These people need no mercy.

What is 10% of N250 million? Do the Maths, then you know how much his bail costs.

I was in search of the new 3000mAh for my infinix hot 2, the thing was so damn scarce. So I finally found something like that on konga with a description of 3000mAh. I went ahead to order for it with joy... To my surprise when it arrived, the battery was 2200mAh and even worst than my current bad battery.

Contact Konga. Let them know how unsatisfied you are with the product, they will guide you on how to return the item.

In my neighbourhood, there is a church whose pastor makes it a job to say bad things about the present administration, especially about the president, Muhammadu Buhari. I think I have heard him mentioned how the president would die a very painful death for subjecting the country to economic hardship. I ask, isn't leaders (irrespective of how they got to their position) ordained by God (see Romans 11:13)?

The Holy book in 1 Timothy 2:2 asks that we pray for our leaders. But no! that pastor has never prayed for the president, not even for the country. He is more concerned about how the government has failed in its responsibilities. Yes, I know that our governments have not lived up to expectation in a very long while, but what moral right does that preacher have to rain curses on Mr President when he makes little or no contribution to the economy?
