Many of the MLM and HYIP Businesses operating in Nigeria are a complete waste of time, energy and resources Many Nigerians have sad tales about their involvement in MLM and HYIP in Nigeria Scam MLM and HYIP exist in many countries of the world. Network Marketing is one of the best business models but has been abused by con artists who use it to defraud people. There are at least 10 ways to easily detect the scam outfits in the market, no matter how cleverly disguised they are. The problem is that many Nigerians are gullible,greedy and undiscerning, therefore easily deceived by the con artists and their promises A discerning Nigerian who can sit down to analyze MLM promises will be able to detect the fraudulent ones before signing up with any. There are a few legitimate MLM operating in the Nigerian market, not all are scam but many are scam and should be avoided. The key to success in MLM is the ability to know the right company i.e. the legitimate, rewarding ones to do business with, not jumping into anyone you see as Nigerians do. A MLM company that is focused on the recruitment of persons into the network and pays a recruiter a commission for recruiting others into the network, cannot be a legitimate MLM business to do business with. Many of the MLM businesses that have crashed in Nigeria belong to this group. They are designed to benefit not more than 5% of the investors and eventually crash with the rest 95% frustrated. They have a product which cannot sell well in Nigeria and tell you that the way to make any money and move up in their network is by recruiting people and getting rewarded for that.Beware! Frustration sets in when a recruit is unable to get new recruits. This happens when the market for new recruits quickly gets saturated as everyone is looking for a recruit who has already been recruited or is not interested. The MLM business to sign up with is that which focuses on the sales of its products, and recruits sales persons but does not pay any commissions or reward to anyone for recruiting others. It pays commissions based on products sold, not for persons recruited. They have products which sell easily. For a HYIP known as High Yield Investment Program(a.k.a Hurriedly Yielding Into Poverty), one of the ways to detect them is look for their consistency in fixed returns throughout the life of the investment. HYIP is a financial investment which promises consistent fixed returns throughout the life of the investment. That is a lie because in the real world of finance, there is no such thing as consistent fixed returns in the market. Interest rates always move up and down in the financial market. The promise of consistent fixed returns is a bait to lure in an undiscerning investor into their scheme. The returns are paid from the monies collected from earlier investors. When the promoters have collected enough money, they vanish or when they are unable to pay newer investors the promised returns, the scheme collapses under its own weight. Most HYIPs do not invest in anything. There are many other ways and methods to spot scam MLM and HYIP businesses operating in the Nigerian market. Many of them come cleverly disguised as legitimate but are real scam outfits.Having knowledge of the various ways to detect them is essential to avoid falling into the wrong hands. Many of the fraudulent MLMs that have crashed out usually did so within 5 years of operation. |

I wish she is, but she is not Fourteen years down,I wonder why i married her I wish i could draw back the hands of time Though I have not given up hope yet I am still hoping, hoping for a change Believing that with God, all things are possible (Luke 1:37) |
If this is true, is Adenuga the only one? There could be others in the same league. I do not know Adenuga but am greatly impressed at what he has done for Nigeria like Dangote,investing in Nigeria and employing thousands of people. If the man is foolish as someone said above, how did he become a billionaire? Those who are wiser and better mannered than Adenuga, how many businesses have you created and how many Nigerians have you employed? If any employee is not satisfied with his boss's mannerisms, there is alwayz an option to leave and go elsewhere. He who pays the piper dictates the tune. Me, i like the man Mike Adenuga. Mike Adenuga, may you live long in Jesus name. Amen |
Corruption, Ride On Oh. EFCC will only arrest you, No Big Deal The Police & EFCC will mess up the prosecution The Judge will find a loop hole in the mess to release you. End of Story & Back to Square 1. Arise O Compatriots, |
The true Gospel is John 3:16 The purpose can be found in Luke 4:18-19 & Isaiah 61:1-2 The price to pay for the Gospel is in Mark 8:34-36 The issue is: Are we complying? Are we allowing the Word to work in our lives or merely debating like the Pharisees and the Scribes? The Word of God is not for debate. It was sent to heal us from our destructions (Psalms 107:20). if it was sent, then we are expected tp receive it and apply it for it to have the desired impact and meaning. The Pharisees and the Scribes who displayed their spiritual and intellectual prowess before Jesus were classified as hypocrites in Matthew 5:20. Are we here to debate like the Pharisees of old? Only the doers of the word shall be justified! |
Died in his sleep. Rest in Peace, sir. Death comes unannounced like a thief in the night After death comes judgment (Hebrews 9:27) How prepared are we for eternity? Rest in peace, sir |
quote from kritikul ''It really baffles me why some ladies just get pregnant when they re not even married'' @kritikul Pregnancy is for the married because sex was created for the married. Reality is that almost everyone, male & female has a taste of it before marriage. We are all saints and angels until when we get caught and exposed through an '' accidental'', ''mistake'' pregnancy. That you are baffled is what surprises me. Are you one of the Angels? |
Many of them including: Love :the basic foundation & the greatest. Fellowship : through prayer, sharing, communication Acceptance : None is perfect, accept each other as he/ she is Maturity : doing the right thing at the right time Integrity : commitment to marital vows Yieldedness : two wrongs dont make a right, yield for the sake of peace. dont stick to your own guns alwayz. Sex : Make it available and use it rightly to promote marital harmony. Wrong use leads to marital discord Forgiveness: Forgive each other, forget the offence and move on |
POSTER The deed is done The pregnancy is in place The baby's father cannot be identified because more than one man had one night stands with you Do not ever think of an abortion, whether it is modern or obsolete. Allow the baby to live. God will make a way for the baby. If you abort it, you become a murderer and will carry the guilt to the grave Any one encouraging you to go for abortion is a MURDERER! |
Poster Online love affairs are better an imagination than a reality. It will soon wear off you soon. Look for an offline babe. |
Quote from enkoby ''I cannot believe this. why in this world will my husband's younger brother come to my house and expect his elder brother's wife to wash his dishes? my gawd!! this is amazing. my gawd!! i am still screaming. I stay with my husband's nephew and initially, he will walk into the kitchen, dish his food, eat up and dump his plate for me in the sink. of course i called him to order and told him to make sure he washes up his plates after eating, and since then he has never tried to leave his plates for me in the sink. pls note that i dont expect anyone to do my dishes or my husband's dishes, but if you must eat my food, then u must wash [/b]YOUR PLATE!!! [b] I can never wash plates for a 20yr old simply because he is my husband's brother. infact, leaving his plates for me is disrespectful, if i am married to his ELDER BROTHER!!! @enkoby You are right but you see, we are funny people in this part of the world. in this age of civilisation many of us are still very backward in our orientation all in the name of culture and tradition still seeing a wife as a servant. A younger sister of mine, married to a Bini was in a similar situation many years ago in 1994. She was already a graduate at the time and her husband too is not an illiterate. She married into a highly educated Bini family, but who still clung to their traditional beliefs. Her husband was not in Nigeria at the time, so she was residing with her mother-in-law on a temporary basis. She would wash plates for her inlaws, many of them adolescents in primary & secondary school who were old enough to wash their own plates. One day she rebelled, stopped washing the plates. It backfired as she was sent packing by her mother-in-law. Our parents had to settle it and she returned there because my parents considered it a shame on our family to see their daughter sacked from her matrimonial home. The following year,she joined her husband in Australia and she's been free from all that in-law wahala since.Though her situation and the poster's are not exactly the same, the point am making is that an in-law should respect his brother's wife. Within 2 months of my marriage in 1997, i accomodated a male cousin of mine who had an accomodation problem. He was a graduate, working class but a bachelor. He would poo poo in the toilet and expect my wife to go flush it! There was water in the home and all he had to do was to press the WC handle. Insult, no be so? My wife refused to do it and i(not my wife) sent him away eventually. He regards us as an enemy till date but that's his cup of tea anyway. He is married now with several kids. Educated illiterates in these parts |
''Simply confront him and tell him his fault politely.If he refuse to bulge ask him to leave.its ur home'' Another wrong advice! That the poster should ask the brother-in-law to leave if he fails to change, afterall the home belongs to the poster. Her Home! Yes, it is but she has limited powers. Remember,this is an african, not an european marital setting. The poster is traditionally married to the whole family and is seen as the family's servant. The poster has no right or authority to do so to unilaterally sack her brother-in-law. She will meet with the stiffest of opposition from the in-laws and even from her husband. She may be digging the grave of the marriage by so doing. Confrontation will not work to solve the poster's problem. Confrontation will compound matters for her Dialogue is much better. Try getting the husband to talk to his brother.Poster should try to relate with the young man more as a friend and brother than as an in-law. |
leobatojo: Quote from: Sagamite on February 28, 2012, 05:45 PM Make a set of rules of what you want the brother to change in his habits. Ensure they are reasonable rules. Call your husband and his brother and present it to them assertively and with aplomb. Let your husband know you expect him to monitor the rules are adhered to. Monitor for about 1 month to see if there is an improvement. If no significant improvement, get yourself a ticket and go back to Nigeria. Tell your husband you love him but you will only comeback when his brother is out of the house. By then, your husband has completely lost the right to even discuss how to improve his behaviour, it is now a case of him getting out of the house. Poster The advice above is dangerous advice oh! Dish out a set of rules to your husband and his brother, then return to Nigeria to await the implementation & wait for them to call you to return? Dont try this with an african husband as it is most likely to backfire. You may not return to the marriage & even the relations at home even your own parents will blame you. That is no way forward to solution |
@TV You seem to misunderstand. The carnal mind cannot discern the things of the spirit. Wisdom is the principal thing. Marriage is a mystery. Love and submission flow together. A husband should love his wife and the wife should submit to her husband. Husband and wife are one flesh, not two. 1 plus 1 equals to 1 is the Bible standard in Marriage. In many marriages, the husband expects his wife to submit first before he loves her. This is absolutely wrong. What love is there if the woman must first submit before she is loved?where then is the sacrifice? Is it then not a master-servant relationship? And marriage is not a master-servant relationship. A man submitting to his wife does not imply that the man will become her slave who washes her clothes or bows at her feet in worship. Husband and wife are to submit to each other and love one another as members of one body. For instance,Some husbands will have a wrong opinion of an issue. the wife has a better idea but the man refuses to see her better point because he is the head(Ego),and will go headlong in his error and may regret it. there are husbands who will never ever listen to a wife's opinion even if hers is better and more reasonable to execute and will rather implement their own wrong opinion and come out with regrets. It has happened in many homes. Headship of the home does not imply that the husband must have his ways every time in every situation in the home. Submission to each other in the fear of the lord is a statement in Ephesians 5:21 and it applies to every body, every relationship including husbands and wives.CASE CLOSED! |
Quote from: ayodele123 on Yesterday at 05:21:57 PM The man too must submit to his wife TV01 Sounds like a recipe for confusion to. But please enlighten us how this would work in practice. I'm sure some would be interested to know and it would advance the discussion. @TV01 You want to know why the man must also submit to his wife? The man is the head while the woman is the neck. right? The head cannot turn on its own without the neck turning just as the neck cannot turn without turning the head too The man who wants real peace in his life,home and marriage must not see himself as a God ordained dictator who must compel submission from his wife. If a man wants to enjoy his wife's submission, coming voluntarily from her, he must first of all know how to attend to his wife's details. Attending to his wife's details is to place her interests above his and that is what love is all about. What is love? Love is a self-sacrificing loyal concern for the welfare of the other. This means that the welfare of the other, the wife comes first. The husband who sees himself as a dictator is the one who strives to enforce Ephesians 5:22 ahead of Ephesians 5:25. Sounds strange? Get more from the signature below www.maritalsuccessresource.com This is the reason why many women are not submitting and many marriages and husbands are groaning. Every husband is his wife's first son because he sucked her breasts first ahead of the children born n the marriage. |
Quote from dasparrow ''Once you are married into a Nigerian family as a woman, be prepared to become the family's slave. You must keep in mind that in the Nigerian culture, women are viewed as properties and considered inferior though most Nigerians will deny this fact. Even white people in advanced societies treat their dogs and cats with more love, affection and care than the average Nigerian-bred husband treats his wife. This should be a lesson to you ladies who think that getting married and looking pretty in your white wedding gown for 24 hours in front of family and friends will solve all life's problems. Now as you can see, marraige especially to a Nigerian-bred male is a bed of thorns with very few roses if any. You are expected never to rest till you take your last breath. You are expected to keep cooking, cleaning and serving not just your husband and kids but all his family members as well while taking in insults at the same time. The day you drop dead, you will be replaced with another woman in a heart beat. Such is life being married to most Nigerian-bred males. I can only wish you goodluck in your marital endeavours'' @dasparrow Correct and true about many Nigerian husbands, in fact many african husbands who married in african settings The Poster's experience is typical of many african marriages and common place in Nigeria. |
Poster In-law difficulty is one of the 8 major problem areas in Marriage. Give an in-law an inch, he will go one mile. The relationship with in-laws is a sensitive one that must not be ruptured whatever the circumstance There is communication breakdown in the home between you and him He has no respect and is a rude person, maybe a faulty upbringing or spoilt, pampered child. Show love to him. Treat him as your own brother. Forgive him his misbehaviours to you Be friendly with him. He will change. Be careful how you react. It may be that he is being influenced to misbehave and if you react wrongly, it can backfire dangerously on you. There is no way that you can resist an in-law without your husband's support. Your husband is in error and seriously at fault by not containing his brother's excesses. The husband is supposed to protect his wife from the excesses of the in-laws, while maintaining cordial relations between the marriage and the in-laws. The husband is the one to establish boundaries in the marriage for instance an in-law should not have access to the couple's kitchen or bedroom without the wife's consent. You married the man and you are also married to his whole family and there is no way you can obliterate them. Show greater love to him and he will change. Try not to explode,please. The in-law problems in marriage is a terrible one especially in african marriages and one needs to tread carefully. Talk it over again with your husband calmly. Check yourself. Is there anything you did to him which created this hostility from him? Pray to God too. there is nothing that prayer cannot change. Avoid fighting your in-laws. What you are experiencing is typical of many african marriages everywhere. |
THERE IS A WAY THAT SEEMETH RIGHT TO A MAN BUT THE END THERE OF IS DEATH (PROVERBS 14:12) REPENT BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! WHAT SHALL IT PROFIT A MAN IF HE SHALL GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOOSE HIS OWN SOUL? WHAT SHALL A MAN GIVE IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SOUL? SATAN HAS NOTHING TO OFFER THAN TO DESTROY YOUR SOUL ACCEPT JESUS FREE OFFER OF SALVATION NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE YOUR LIFE TODAY IS BY THE MERCY OF GOD THE FATHER, NOT SATAN. DO NOT ABUSE THE GRACE GIVEN TO YOU BY GOD THE FATHER IF YOU DIE WITHOUT CHRIST, YOU GO TO ETERNAL HELL CREATED FOR THE DEVIL |
Accept him as the head of the home even if he is younger than you and less financially blessed Respect him as the head of the home Obey him as long as it does not contravene the laws of the Lord. Make ''it'' available for him when he needs it. The man too must submit to his wife The man should not see his wife as a sex machine or as a slave to be abused The man should as a first requirement love his wife unconditionally, then the woman will submit voluntarily, willingly and lovingly. |
Quote from IfySimple ''There was no marriage in the first place. I mean the marriage is void. This is for the fact that he did not disclose his medical problem to you before the marriage. If u cannot bear it, then opt for divorce. If its in my church marriage,(catholic), if you re going into marriage and fails to disclose things like bad medical problem e.g impotence, to ur partner, and after the marriage, he or she finds out and concludes not to live with it, the church dissolves the marriage(if you take it to them). Except you come to accept to live with it. They will dissolve it saying the marriage did nt take place in the first place.'' @ifysimple I am indeed surprised to hear that a church can dissolve a marriage You mean that a church that joined a couple together in holy wedlock will turn around and dissolve the same marriage later? It is news to me and strange! |
Quote from Toks2008 ''I am not advocating that self service is no sin but i am avery objective person and never dogmatic. But Unfortunately these bible passages you quoted have nothing to do with self-servicing.'' toks2008 The Word of the Lord stands for ever (Isaiah 40: ![]() You want to interpret God's word with a sense of human objectivity? Human reasoning is not adequate at interpreting the Bible. Do you know the category of sins that the Bible classifies as murder? The Biblical meaning of the word ''murder'' goes far beyond our dictionary meaning of it. where in the Bible do we find cigarette smoking listed as a sin?. Yet it is a sin to smoke. Same with self-service. CASE CLOSED! |
Poster You said you are a spiritual person and i believe it means that you are a christian and a born again believer. Are you sure that you heard from the Lord before marrying him? if you did hear from the Lord that he is your husband to marry, have no fear because the just shall live by faith. Cry unto the Lord and He will turn your tears to laughter. God did not promise any Xtian a trouble free life, but He assured us of a safe landing. Job 14:1 says that ''man born of a woman is of a few days but full of troubles.'' You are in marriage already and it is an everlasting bond that must not be broken except by death (Romans 7:1-3). Do not ever think about a divorce. Even if you divorce him, Heaven recognises your marriage with him as still in existence and sees you as an adulterer. If you did not hear from the Lord and of your own volition went into the marriage, you are married and no going back. Since you did not have pre-marital sex with him, then you were obedient to God. You should go back to the Lord in prayer and refer to the fact that you had no pre-marital sex in obedience to His word and ask for His intervention and He will arise on your behalf. He will fight for you (Exodus 14:13-14). The Bible Solution: If the story is true, if the man has walked out on his own and is no more interested in the marriage as it seems, then get on with your own life but you must remain single for as long as he is still living. For you to enter any relationship with any other man is adultery before the Lord (1 Corinthians 7:10-11 & Romans 7:1-3). if you go against the Scripture, then you are toying with your eternal destination i.e. if you value it. Meanwhile, turn over the matter to Jesus because with God,nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37)( Jeremiah 32:17&27) Do not lose hope yet. God can do wonders, heal your husband and return him home. Every marriage goes through storms and every person on Earth goes through a wilderness in this life. Do not accept defeat. Fight the battle in prayers. If you can stand, you will have a testimony soon and be an inspiration to others going through similar situations in their marriages. I suggest church marital counselling in a Bible believing, Bible practising Church. |
Quote from Toks2008 ''Some of us see self-service as improper and dirty but Which Bible passages or chapters speak about it being bad to self-service? It doesn't have to use the word, just imply self-servicing. I am trying to find all I can that is Biblical on the subject. Thank you!'' @Toks2008 Please read 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 Timothy 1:10 & Romans 1:27 These verses talk about the sex perversion acts which include masturbation, homosexualism, lesbianism, MouthAction and anal sex. In 1 Corinthians 6:9, one of the sins listed is 'abusers of themselves with mankind'' and masturbation comes under this. In my Dake's Reference Bible, it is described as un-natural offences i.e. deriving sexual pleasure outside marital sex |
I had the experience in 2009 when i was invited to a prayer program in one ministry. During the prayer service,the Man of God was pushing my head backward with pressure. I stood firmly, refusing to fall He left me and moved to another That was the last time i went there By there fruits, they shall be known (Matthew 7:15-20) The Key Message: Jesus Is Coming Soon. Are You Ready? |
@joagbaje No sir, i disagree with you on the basis of Scripture Satan is a counterfeiter. the magicians in the court of Pharaoh also cast their rods and they became serpents too but the rod of Moses swallowed theirs. Matthew 7:22-23 says ''Many will say to me in that day, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name have done many wonderful works? And then i will profess unto them, i never knew you,depart from me,you worker of iniquity. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 says '' even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders'' (see also Revelations 13:13-14) Falling under the anointing is real but much of it these days are by demonic pastors. that is the point. the spirit must be tested, the Bible says so. In this last day, many xtians are flocking to (false)ministeries operated by psychedelic pastors who condone their water melon lifestyles when the Bible is teaching us in Matthew 11:12 that the kingdom of God suffreth violence and only the 'violent shall take it by force''. Many are running after miracle workers whose power is from the pit of Hell. Miracles is not necessarily a mark of the true church and not an evident sign of the holiness and the divine character of a church. (Matthew 24:24-25) The Bible says in Matthew 7:13-14 that few will be saved, many will be lost and this is why we should strive to be among the few that will enter heaven through the Narrow Way. God is looking for the few quality Christians who can pay the price stated in Mark 8:34 and attain His standards of Holiness, not the quantity that the Devil is after. Out of the 600,000 men above age 20 who left Egypt, only 2 of them in that generation reached the Promised Land. Only three persons of the inhabitants of Sodom and Gomorrah were saved from the Destruction visited on it. In the days of Noah, only 8 people were saved when God destroyed that world. And Jesus said that '' as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be at the time of the coming of the Son of Man'' Cant you see the analogy? |
''So the demon has power to knock Christians down . With all the holyghost in them? Very funny . What you don't know you should keep quiet about it. Or rather ask question . Don't act as though you know in the area you lack Information '' @jogbaje The above quote credited to you refers I am surprised at the shallowness of your knowledge of Scripture Whom do you call a Xtian? Are you a Xtian by the fact that you have a Xtian name or was brought by Xtian parents? Even Jesus said that not everyone who calls Him 'Lord,Lord' will enter into His kingdom, that means that not everyone who thinks he is a christian that will enter into His kingdom but those faithful and committed which Heaven recognises whose names are written in the Book of Life. Yes the demonic anointing can knock down those 'so-called Xtians' who are bread & Butter Christians with water melon lifestyles. Please, for the sake of your eternal destination, go join a Bible believing and bible practising ministry and 2ndly read the bible by yourself and search out its truths for yourself.You were one of those supporting self-service on the other thread.Have you read 1 Corinthians 6:9? Do you know what it entails to be a ''faithful and committed christian? it goes far beyond coming to church. Many come to church but their hearts are far away from God. Many Xtians carry the Bible but do not know what is in it. The Bible talks about a people of the last days who ''have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof''. Do not allow anyone to deceive you and dont setup yourself for deceit. The Word of God is not a secret document.Everyone has access to the Word of God, the Bible unlike many other faiths. |
[quote][/quote]I don't expect a true béliever of christ to be involved in this kind of destructive argument. What are u trying to defend; God? Jesus christ? religion? Or your ignorance? Decayed or not, the man is dead and dead he remained. If we must comment on this topic, leave religion out of it. we have enough pressing sectarian and para-religious issues at hand, pls don't add more. lastly, anybody can believe anything so far u are not imposing it on anybody. @walegees I agree with your opinion above. The fact remains that the man remains dead though his corpse may be fresh. It makes no meaning and has no significance as far as the salvation of man is concerned. God does not need any one to fight for Him or defend His Word. God knows how to protect His Word (Jeremiah 1:12)(Isaiah 40: ![]() Xtian brethren,please quit the argument on this thread as it is totally unnecessary.The fact remains that our Lord Jesus is The Way,The Truth and The Life (John14:6) because He alone resurrected bodily. |
Most of the time,it happens through the demonic pastors who use it to proof that they are anointed 'men of God'' That a person ''falls under the anointing'' is no proof of the presence of the Holy Spirit Its the Spirit of the Last days at work. Do not be deceived. The Bible says that in the last days,false Christs shall arise and shall perform great and lying wonders to the effect that even the elect shall be deceived |
Only Jesus Christ resurrected and He is the Way, the Truth and the Life(John 14:6) There is no other way to obtain salvation outside Jesus Christ. The story above may be true but where does it lead us to? Nowhere! There is no other name given among men by which we shall be saved except Jesus the risen Christ( Acts 4:12) |
