Christianity EtcRe: Budget Parts Of Your Offerings To Feed Poor, Unemployed– Kumuyi tells Christians by balaclava: 8:30pm On Mar 02, 2024
There is this church not very far from by crib, I heard a pastor doing a #20,000 to #2,000 seed sowing countdown over the speakers
.
After getting to the #2000 mark he said some of you don't have the money here, go home immediately and bring the money, I will be waiting. I was just shaking my head.

You won't believe what he said next: "some of you don't even have this money, you will need to look for the means to borrow it and you will never borrow again" Ah! That was how I opened my mouth. shocked Borrow keh? Omoh, this dudes are becoming very ruthless with the ongoing economic decline.

This is daylight robbery, and the brain washed lots will still fall victim. If I was in that congregation I would have shouted "It is a BIG lie" but I know the sheeps will still believe their slave driver and not me.

E don cast, last last, na everybody go chop breakfast.

By the way, what kinda organization makes it a priority to open branches everywhere even if it implies taking a loan and get money back from each and very location.

-A profit business organisation

What kind of organization decides to replace the heads with their children when their is a misunderstanding.

-A family business organisation

RCCG is both and you are on a lonnnnng thing if you think otherwise.
FamilyRe: Did I Marry Wrong? by balaclava: 7:42pm On Feb 25, 2024
You did not marry wrong.

Marriage is filled with different kinds of challenges.

Everybody whose marriage stood the test of time had this same thought at one point or another, but they didn't give up.

Communication is key, all the stuffs you poured out here, discuss it with her.

How would I waste more money and time while risking my life and possessions on the road when there are thousand shawties around me.

It would have been a stupid, foolish and careless decision made by a simp who doesn't think.
Thinking saved me. If only guys will think.

pansophist:
What are your goals for japa? Is it to just live with white people inside cold, or to actually have a good life in a sane society?

If you must live with white people, then you should know that while you're planning all your tricks, they are also planning all their tricks to make it almost impossible for you.

If you plan to have a good life, then lots of countries within Africa, south America and Asia will give you that. Which is achievable compare to the West. The world is huge, don't limit migration to the West only.
I had to quote this,
If you missed it earlier, you may see it here,
if you didn't think on it earlier, you can think about it here.

In a failed state like Naija, truth is a revolutionary act.

Remember it's a revolutionary act!
RomanceRe: I Am In Trouble O by balaclava:
1. It's an STD/STI.
2. Most have similar signs and symptoms.
3. You can't know which is which without a clinical/laboratory test.
4. Somewhere in the thread you said you don't have money for a test now, if that's the case you shouldn't be having sex, especially unprotected sex.
5. Your 1st, 2nd and 3rd priority should be making money.
6. Inform your ex ASAP, she may not know she is already a bag of worms, some STD /STI may not show sign and symptoms in opposite genders.
7.In the end, you'll be fine, regardless of how it goes down.
8. Sorry, you may not also be fine regardless of how it goes down.

Wether B.Sc or HND or their seniors, M.Sc, M.A or PHd... better go and get a skill.

In Nigeria and in the future all the above will matter but little, it is your skill that will sell.

The papers issued when you get all these qualifications are nothing but papers but your skill is the real you internalised.

Remember I didn't say don't get them, I said also get a skill.
PetsRe: I Will Kill My Neighbor's Dog Tonight by balaclava: 8:19am On Feb 04, 2024
In this though economy, the probability that robbers or their senior colleagues are lurking in your neighborhood is very high.

The dog is not only trying to scare them away but also calling your attention to be alert and pick up your gun, your cutlass, wake all able bodied men etc and prepare for a showdown but you are not getting the gist.

Writing this from experience.

Don't kill a friend, don't be unwise.
RomanceRe: What Are Possible Dangers Of Marrying A Single Mom In This Era? by balaclava: 5:06am On Feb 03, 2024
7. You will never really be accepted. I have observed time and time again the heartbreak of a step parent as the child gets older. After putting them through school, providing a place to live, food, getting the child all kinds of gifts and honestly really caring about the child. The time comes for a grad or a wedding, the child invites mom and dad to the party; and thanks them for all their love and work. Usually there is not even an acknowledgment of effort.

8. You will have no time for errors. A lot of single men get involved with the single mom and her kids when the child is a bit older. Being inexperienced with children becomes a huge burden as the single man has no time to learn parenting skills; and mistakes are not readily forgiven nor forgotten when a kid is 4 compared to 14.

9. You may think it ends, but it never does. I know many men whose single mom wife promised them a completely different life after junior turned 18 or so. At the beginning of the relationship it looked like just a few years and then total privacy and freedom. but it never does.

10. You will have nothing to show for it. In the end when most men have their own children the work and effort is well worth it. The men did their best and raised a family, continued a line, get grandchildren etc. As a step-parent you have contributed as much but you have nothing. Nobody carries on your name and most men realize they are not even ever thanked for their sacrifice.

11. The legalities can be your shipwreck. There have been numerous cases where a man has divorced or left a single mom and then found himself liable financially for her child. Although not the father he will be responsible for child payments, extra fees and most certainly university far after they are 18 check the laws out, it´s a raw deal. Couple that with some alimony and child abuse claims you get the whole effect of being a divorced and homeless dad with not one child of your own.

12. Untimely death most time is around the corner, the mental, financial & physical stress that this arrangement will bring to you will kill you early, you can become suicidal, she, the ex or the child can set you up to be killed for stupid reasons. Don´t involve yourself with these women under any circumstances. It can be in many ways, the death of a man

In the end women have asked for their freedom to make their own choices now for decades. I would advise all single men to let single moms make their choice of having a child by themselves and then live with it. .
RomanceRe: What Are Possible Dangers Of Marrying A Single Mom In This Era? by balaclava: 4:57am On Feb 03, 2024
Here is a short list of problems you may encounter but not limited to these

1. Being a "partner" means you get to pay for half- if not more: I have seen men putting money away for college for a kid that´s not his. Buying ridiculous amounts of brand name clothes, expensive homes etc all in an effort to be in a so-called "family".

2. The Family you just got into is by invitation only: In being a step- parent you are not the basic unit. The mother and child together are the basic unit. No matter what is said or mentioned before marriage, you will never come before her child. You will always be in a family and relationship where you come second, maybe third.

3. No matter what you think her ex is going to be there forever: In just about every case the child´s father does not seem to be in the picture during the dating and courtship stage but seems to suddenly show up after. Just about every time you will be dragged into the endless bickering and fights they have and you will not be liked by him "its only natural remember"

4. Her kid will most likely not like you very much. Let´s face it you´re sleeping with their mom and most of the time the child will see you as a roadblock to his parents getting back together. Most likely the mom has made you the giver of discipline in the relationship, being the man and all which results in the kid hating you.

5. All that time you had together with your new love will end after marriage. The number one job of a single mom is simply to be a mom. She is not a party girl, hiker, camper, biker, clubber etc. Just be prepared for a frontal assault on your time and money after marriage. You will find your weekdays taken up with homework, PTA meetings, suppers at home, and early bed times. Weekends will be the time for the child´s extra-curricular activities and other activities

6. You will wonder what happened to all your money. Most men involved with a single mom report that their money seems to dry up. Children are expensive and expensive like most men have no idea. Between school supplies, clothing, vast amounts of food, babysitters if you ever want to go out, medications, fees, sports, supplies, toys and such; well, there will be little left.
RomanceRe: What Are Possible Dangers Of Marrying A Single Mom In This Era? by balaclava: 4:56am On Feb 03, 2024
Since you asked, I'm going 2 give the cold hard facts to you comprehensively.

Contrary to popular media-myth I have yet to meet a single mom who was career driven, carefree, balanced, happy; doing it all type gal as often portrayed in most media outlets. The reality I have seen over the years is usually a stressed out, overworked, debt stricken woman who really had no idea children cost so much in time, effort and money. Their careers are on hold as they need to balance their child with sickness, school activities etc versus moving up whatever career ladder they are on. Most single moms are raising their children with help of an extended family member (usually their mom), a bevy of friends and other single moms they find in support groups. It is usually not a pretty picture at all.

Somewhere along the way, usually quite quickly they come up with the idea that they need a "partner" to help them in their new enterprise of having a child and the sooner they can get one the better. Realizing they have a bit of a disadvantage with having a child and being in the dating scene they resort to several well known strategies to get a partner.

One trait that seems to come to the forefront with most men who are dating single moms is just how wonderful a woman they really are. Most men cannot for the life of them figure out why another man would abandon a woman like her. It has been stated that single moms are more caring, compassionate, great lovers, excellent cooks, laugh at all your jokes etc they seem to be ideal mates.

No matter what you see as a man there is something else going on do not forget that. Her plan is to eventually get a partner one way or another. You are the prize and she is going to earn it.
