Ultimus:


Testifies? Really? Complex designs around us is proof of complex designs. If there was a god, we'd have empirically established the existence of it and not need inference from complex designs. Your logic is not thorough, the "creator" can be anything and complex designs could form/derive/evolve from simpler designs without interference or direction of an outside force.

Oh.. like a house in the middle of the forest evolved from the trees around it, without any interference, right?

Or like you just grew in mummy's Tommy without any interference?

guiddoti:
No, fasting doesn't guarantee salvation but does help you reshape your character when you sincerely want a change of life style, back it with prayer. It will open doors of opportunities for success etc The spiritual controls the physical.

did you read that Isaiah 56 I mentioned earlier? if you did, you will realise that the key to changing your life style isn't fasting.. read 1 John 5:3.. after that, read verse 14 to see the criteria for which your prayers will be answered.

kilojoDesigns:


would love to see you try. even the Bible knows it's all about faith, you believe because you can and you chose to. the only one that can empirically prove God's existence is God himself

right.. faith.. what's the definition again.. is it blindly believing without some sought of evidence? nah.. Hebrews 11:1 defines it as "the "assured" expectation of things hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities though not beheld".. the assurance we have is based on what is around us and not just on the Bible.. the complex designs of everything around us testifies to the existence of a creator..

And you think fasting guarantees salvation, success and all the good things of life.. try reading Isaiah 56

You might say some people blindly believe in the existence of a supreme being.. but that's really not the case.. the evidence around us of his existence are overwhelming.. maybe you should try asking some people why they believe in his existence .. and compare it to why some others don't believe in him.. come back to me with the results.. and I'll prove to you that number 1 shouldn't be on this your list.

I don't know what to say, but I can show you where they went..

Luckygurl:

You did what a lot of guys wouldn't have the mind to do.
I mean you saw where everything was headed and decided to be fair to her and yourself.
Looking at it from the other angle, maybe you were too forward and pessimistic with your decision. You could have built what you had ongoing strong enough that somehow the both of you would work towards making it stand the test of time.

Well!! Let's hope you made the best decision

Yeah, let's hope I did.

Awwwnnn!
Are you guys still in touch now?

you know how these things work nau.. I tried to be friends.. she just won't b friendzoned.. blocked me on all social media.. unblocked me on fb, sent me a friend request which i accepted, still didn't work out and so she has unfriended me once more.. let's just say i've decided not to try to be friends anymore.. that way we can both pick up the pieces of our hearts.

Twas in 2015, at the beach.. I just told her we have to breakup that i was scared of relationships.. she was crying.. i just couldn't stand seeing her cry, so i held her and begged her to stop crying.. somehow, i looked into her eyes and kissed her.. Didn't feel anything (perhaps i was too naive to feel anything).. after sometime, she asked me why i had kissed her.. i told i don't know, which was the truth. And then we kissed some more (my lips pepper me that day.

P.S. the relationship went on to last another 1yr plus.. broke up with her anyway, won't be getting married anytime soon, there is no point in keeping her for too long without any real hope in the near future.. it's a year now, and everyday my heart breaks to have let her go.. my consolation is simply that, it was in her best interest as well as mine.

What??

According to Wikipedia, A toilet is a sanitation fixture used for the storing or disposal of human urine and feces. Whereas some countries use “squat” toilets, here in Nigeria, we make use of “seat” toilets mostly. For some, the toilet is a place, not just for releasing human wastes, but for relaxation. Yes, I said that. Some of us take our phones inside and chat away, watch movies, read books etc., and end up staying in there for far longer than necessary. You can make your toilet a disease free area by simply following these six simple toilet safety tips.

SIT ON THE SEAT
Some people, for fear of contracting diseases, would rather squat on the toilet seat than sit on it. I am categorically telling you that it is unsafe to do that. You could fall, break a limb and probably get yourself all mixed up with the slimy filths you were trying to avoid in the first place. Squatting on the toilet seat does not necessarily protect you from toilet diseases, so if you feel that the toilet seat is too dirty, clean it up and use it the RIGHT WAY.

DO NOT DEPOSIT FEMININE HYGIENE PRODUCTS IN THE TOILET
Sanitary pads are quite thick and will definitely block the toilet outlet. You could use the waste bin in the toilet, if it is available, or you could look for other ways to dispose of it. Just DON’T THROW IT IN THE TOILET.

DON’T FLUSH A WIPE
A piece of cloth, a towel, or even paper, these are wipes and can have the same effect as throwing feminine hygiene products in the toilet. Little pieces of cloth or towel will definitely block the toilet outlet. Whereas it might take a while for paper to clog up the system, it’s just a matter of time. Make use of tissue papers or if they are unavailable, use water. IGNORE THE HYPE, DON’T FLUSH A WIPE!

FLUSH THE TOILET AFTER USE
In this ever busy world of ours, it is normal to sometimes forget to flush the toilet after using it. However, it is very irritating to see someone else’s faeces, personally, it disgusts me. So, if you can’t stand the sight of someone else’s poo, don’t put others through the trauma of seeing yours. Endeavor to leave the toilet clean. If you don’t succeed the first time, FLUSH, FLUSH, FLUSH AGAIN…

WIPE THE SEAT
This is especially for the guys. We sometimes urinate on the seat, albeit inadvertently. Considering others, it would be better and hygienic to clean the seat afterwards, using a tissue paper or if that is unavailable, use water. Regardless of your gender, IF YOU SPRINKLE WHERE YOU TINKLE, PLEASE BE NEAT AND WIPE THE SEAT.

ADD YOURS….

and what has this got to do with anything?

Apprenticeship is very good, especially for those who don't have plans to further their education anytime soon. However, if you are a National Diploma student and you are above 23, with active plans of going back to school prestissimo, then it is best you opt for internship..

WHY ARE WE SO BLESSED?

why are we so blessed
With roads as smooth as contour islands
Electricity as stable as with AC signals
Job opportunities as abundant as with water in the Sahara
And cities sparsely populated as in Shanghai?

Why are we so blessed
With known thieves heralded as Messiahs
Leaders as truthful as with the Devil
A dollar to a naira
Or is it one to four hundred?

Why are we so blessed
A marriage of strange bed fellows
Wedded by force at the area of the Niger
And now with offspring dividedly united
Or should I say unitedly divided?

Where shall we go for peace
is it to Iraq or Iran
To faraway Syria or Gaza
To the area of the Niger or
Shall we travel halfway around a yellow sun

Really, How are we so blessed?

Lasticlala, Mynd44, I understand that poems don't make first page on Nairaland. But could you let Nigerians explain how blessed we are?

Tolerance has got it's limit.. If you make the wrong choice, you may come to a violent end.

My guy , this is not a matter of "like and unlike poles".. it is a lifelong commitment. Balance? when she wants more than you, as a good guy, are willing to give.. that word won't exist in the relationship.

I have seen so many questions on this subject here on Nairaland but it hasn't bothered me until now. As a good guy (which I like to believe I am) and a single one at that, I recently began to ponder what kind of girl I'll end up with. That is why I decided to take this question seriously as "the good finding the bad" is becoming a norm. After careful thinking I had an epiphany and the answer became crystal clear, it's even more interesting because it's something we all know and I'll tell you in a moment.

When I was a toddler I tend to move towards the kerosene lamp whenever I see one and it was normal for my Mom to pull me away from it. She tries to make it harder to get to but it seems the harder she tries to keep me from it, the more determined I became. This went on until she finally used my hands to touch the hot part of the lamp. I never went back after that.
Why Was I so interested in the lamp. it is simply because it mystified me, hence I was curious. I wanted to unravel the mystery. the toys I had, they were no longer a mystery , they became nothing compared to the lamp .

To the good guy/girl, the bad guy/girl is a mystery. Curiosity takes over and then we want to see what makes them tick and sometimes with the wrong thought that we can change them if we don't like what we find. When we get them, only then do we realize the terrible mistake we've made, only then do we clearly see that in pursuing mystery we have sold out our happiness.

So, Good guys/girls in the house don't discard that good guy/girl you have in search for mystery, for then you will discover that you threw away gold in your search for brass.

OP.. I absolutely concur to your points..

where are those MODs, if it's Evans issue it will make first page...
