Like you read up there, I don't actually know my age, but I can remember some event way back,
I lost my mum and dad so early and I grew up with grandma.

I remember my uncle coming to take me back to lag, in year 2000 precisely and I remember very well when that bomb blast at Ikeja cantoment happened for days in Lagos.

Now key important things to know is, when my uncle came to take me back to lag it was during third term holidays and I was on my way to primary 2 then but when I got to lag he enrroll me to private school and I was taken back to nursery 3 because baba (me) no Sabi even speak English as at then, and I still remember that very moment very well.

So like how many years of age do you guys think I might be then cuz all the memories are still fresh in my brain so for me to still remember everything then, I am thinking maybe i was 7 or 9 then. I'm so confuse.

Think you should visit the registrar of births office. You need to have your parents names & their dates of birth. That should be enough to get you a copy of your birth certificate. Also, knowing the town where you were born would be helpful but if you don’t know, no big deal.

Lol.

Let's forget about the nuclear threats for now, the westerners can continuing peeing in their pants for now . But let focus on this sentence i got from the entire news. It says:


____
'Russian officials speak of the possibility of using tactical nuclear weapons after suffering massive setbacks in the eight-month invasion of Ukraine'
______

The funniest sentence i have seen in decades.
Russia just annexed a whole 4 region off ukraine amounting to like 15% of the entire ukraine region. BUT
Guess what? the hypocritical,delusional western medias who are still living in denial or just outrightly off-reality of happening still thinks the ongoing 'special operation' is suffering massive setback.


Oh you western apologists and chearleaders, Let me educate you on the gains of this four regions annexations:

The Donetsk region was Ukraine’s industrial center, accounting for 20% of the country’s industrial production. It is rich in mineral resources, having the fourth-largest coal field in Europe.

The Luhansk region is an important transport hub and is known for its metallurgy, machinery and agricultural industries. It has metallurgical enterprises, chemical and pharmaceutical plants and several coal mines

The Zaporizhzhia region, meanwhile, is the center of energy supply and produces 25% of Ukraine’s electricity. Three powerful energy producers are located in the southeastern region – the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest nuclear facility in Europe, the Dnieper Hydroelectric Station and the Botievo wind farm.
It also has a number of large industrial and mechanical engineering facilities.

The Kherson port region specializes in shipbuilding and is known for its resorts and agriculture. Besides, the entire Azov Sea will also become a part of Russia.


So my people, where is the 'massive setback so far' in this? If it is this same type of setback Nigeria is experiencing right now economically, then we wont still be wallowing in a third-world country tag.

Shalom.

You talk as if you are in a celebratory mood. Just know that whatever affects the west will affect you. If it’s inflation you’ll be affected, medical drugs, etc. This thing is no joke. Putin is crazy. Imagine Nigeria starting a war with Ghana and laying claims on their territory. If all countries started fighting with each other after colonialism to claim portions of their land, the world would be inhabitable. Putin has a very large country in terms of size but that’s not enough for him. His hands are full of blood and seems he isn’t about to stop the murders.

I remember myself together with other Nairalanders advising you because, that guy would come between you & your son. God just delivered you from a psycho. Some of these are crazy looking for an easy target.Glad you took the advice.

It’s legal in many states but Russia is not United States. One needs to know the laws of the country they plan to visit.

But wait. Is it not Mbaka that built Adoration? Why are they banning him from his own investment?

Iam not a member of the Catholic Church but I’d imagine every organization has rules. Without rules, people become lawless and behave anyhow they wish. Mbaka might have founded the ministry but he’s still under the Catholic Church. Most of the members are Catholics. To organize the meetings and even take time to speak, he needed permission from the church. The only way he can be free from being answerable to the church is by leaving priesthood but, as a priest, he’ll always have to obey the church that ordained him.

High court awarded 100m Naira damages, Appeal court slashed to 75 million and the young man is crying that the legal fee from high court to appeal court is more than what the appeal court awarded

where did you read 100M
& 75M? He said he was awarded 5M but the high court later reduced that amount to 1.5M which wasn’t enough to cover the costs he’d incurred. What a lawless country? Someone cannot earn a lot of money because the people at the top have an issue with it. Someone can just confiscate your property and freeze your account without a court order.

I don’t know what is more disturbing. A man biting a fellow man’s privates or the crowd gathered to watch without a single person trying to stop the evil act? Bunch of sick people. None among them is sane. I’ve always said that people who strip others because of a crime are perverts. What has clothes got to do with it? This made me so angry & I can’t look at that video a 2nd time. Disgusting is an understatement.The devil is not in hell. He wears trousers & skirts. Devilish people!

Alright... I thought it always causes swelling cuz most people i saw at the hospital has swollen cheeks. Thanks alot

No, swelling is when one has a bacterial infection. It’s usually solved by a root canal.

obiskidguru:

I will be having mine done removed soon but i was told i can't remove all at once.
How was the experience?
Was your face swollen after the procedure?

No actually. It was such a relief. The numbing shots in the mouth are what I don’t like. They were pulled out by a dental surgeon because it was 4 wisdom teeth. They prefer a specialist to do it & not a regular dentist. They tell you to put ice on the face & use pain relief meds.

obiskidguru:


Hello. Did you remove the four wisdom teeth at the same time?

yes, same day.

Good Day Dear Nairaland Family,

My Sister started behaving weirdly last few Weeks. She laughs alone, talks alone and is sometimes restless especially at Night.

Though she always responds well and correctly when engaged. I've asked her and she told me she doesn't know when that happens and it's unintentional.

I, on my part have tried talking to my Dad to take her to a Mental Health Expert, my Dad seems to believe it is spiritual attack instead.
Please, I need Medical practitioners in the house to help tell me what she's probably suffering from so I can Confidently convince my Dad.

Can you please help move this to front page?

Sounds like she’s having auditory/visual hallucinations that are causing her to self-dialogue. Symptoms of Schizophrenia or psychosis. Find her psychiatrist care soonest possible.A psychiatrist is best to give a diagnosis.

Survivor2020:
My 17 years old brought shame to me last year she got pregnant, I have disowned her and sent her packing. She is staying with her boyfriend in his family home.

She gave birth 5 months ago she has been sick ever since she had the baby and the boyfriend doesn't have any money to take care of her. Plus the living condition is not suitable for her in her condition.

I have forgiven her and I want to take her back home so I can take her to the hospital for treatment but I don't want her to come with her baby. Please note there is only me and my 7 years old son at home. I work and my son goes to school till 5pm.

I don't have time to babysit the baby.
I want the father to take care of his child while I take care of mine.
I hope my decision is not bad?

Sir, trying not to call you dumb but that’s what you are. So your daughter is the 1st to give birth out of wedlock? I am not encouraging the behavior but now that it happened, you want her to die or what? People make mistakes and also learn from them. She’s your own flesh & blood & you cannot cheat biology. By the way, are you sure she’s even in love with the guy or it’s out of youthful lust that she got pregnant? Don’t force her into marriage. You can hire a domestic help to help with the baby & your daughter can go to school. Stop showing her that her life is over, unless you are perfect & have never made a mistake.

Zee0007:
He doesn't hate him, probably the guy is seeing some behaviours about the boy that you easily condole. As a man, he knows if your boy persist with such behaviour, he will be doom.

I think you should sit down with him and discuss what is the rationale behind his act towards the boy. A simple communication with him will clarify most of your assumptions.

Stop justifying evil. Truth is that the man has not invested enough time to build a relationship with the boy. He hasn’t earned enough trust to correct him. Assuming he meant well, why would he be yelling at the boy whenever he shows up at his mom’s shop? He just came into their lives and is 1st supposed to build a relationship , earn the boy’s trust & respect & then correct with love. When someone likes you or your child, you’ll not need a prophet. Actions speak louder than words. I’d advise the lady to move on & not look back. That man will come between you & your son if you marry him.He may end up putting you in a position where you have to choose between your son & him. Be careful!

Apostle Johnson Suleman's Daughter Conducts Deliverance, He Reacts (Video)

The congregation of Omega Fire Ministries, fell under uncontrollable anointing as the second daughter of its General Overseer, Divine Johnson Suleman conducts deliverance, IGBERETV reports.

The daughter of the clergyman was seen conducting a powerful deliverance session for the youths and teens of the church, which left many people in amazement.

Taking to his Facebook handle, Apostle Johnson Suleman shared the video of the deliverance session, with the caption;

I have no time for drama. Ofcourse she has to starry getting trained to take over the family business. I am a Christian but I don’t subscribe to madness. I don’t understand the reason people fall in church. Let me remain my old school church.

As a Kenyan in the diaspora, am so much ashamed of this outcome. This was the 5th time Raila Odinga was running. There was never a time he ran for elections and accepted the results. He’s been the reason for fights and bloodshed as a result of post-election violence. Even if it turned out to be true that there was rigging, it’s hard to believe because he’s always crying wolf. Like the story is told of the boy who was always crying wolf, when the wolf actually came nobody believed him. I didn’t care who became president though as long as Kenyans voted.

Forget making fun out of Tinubu issue. Pretty Mike has always made mockery out of the Christian faith. We’ve seen him parade semi naked women dressed as nuns. He’s an enemy of the church and seems to have no respect for Christianity.

The driver could also possibly be experiencing a medical emergency. Don’t conclude without facts. Some people have had seizures, diabetic related emergencies etc. very dangerous.

One thing about the US is that they are very protective of whatever plants or animals get to land on their soil. I was returning from my home in May when the airport staff dumped out my Royco spices . If you check the airport videos of the JFK airport, you’ll see how much food is trashed daily. This is done to protect their soil from harmful pests transported through food or living organisms and it’s been an ongoing thing. It’s not new.

Try see a psychotherapist for counseling. They’ll teach you how to better cope with the emotions you are feeling. I am so sorry for the loss of your mom.

You seem like the type that enjoys seeking favors from the boss. If not, did you start carrying your boss’s bag as if they don’t have hands? Trouble dey sleep, yanga go wake am. Continue with what you started. You should be very happy the assignment is all yours. We call your kind bootylickers

Difrent:


So much for your understanding of differences between telerance and provocation.

When addressing someone, it’s good to mind the words you use. When you start by using words such as “childish”, it’s very polite of you. Shows how well mannered you are.

your papa terrorist, numbskull

At least me it’s just my papa. Your case is pathetic and beyond redemption because you learned Terrorism from your momma & papa. Your siblings & entire clan are a bunch of illiterates who lack tolerance when it comes to dealing with other people because you’ve been promised some imaginary virgins. Your religion is just about sex and violence. Even your so called revered prophet was a paedophile who married a 6 year old girl and consummated the marriage when she was 9. No wonder you salivate at the sight of underage girls without remorse. Go eat your pork in peace as you await your 72 virgins. A religion of dummies & terrorists. Quit mentioning me dumbass.

Difrent:


Seun or nairaland has never stopped Christians fron putting a caveat in christian section. Yoi poeple should grow up and stop being childish and petty. Agitate for it and its only when your request is not granted that you can complain.

Must christians comment in muslim section? That some of you will actually lie to get into a thread where you intend to preach the gospel of light and truth is the lowest form of self esteem and no religion require you lower your self esteem in order to adhere to its tennets. What you need do is ask for a caveat for christian section

Yes we are being childish because the Muslims feel it’s okay for them to comment trash. When Christians comment on theirs, they take offense. Why won’t we be offended. As for childishness, we will offer it full dose. We will shout from the rooftop. Whoever has a problem with that can go hug a pole.

it's pointless dragging with a numbskull

Get out! Terrorist.

I have never seen a good news from Kenya on NL. it's always bad news

Yes because your people focus on negativity as if nothing good happens in Kenya. They’ll never report good news from other countries and yet if we start talking of Naija issues, we’ll not exhaust that topic today. My point all countries have good and bad, it’s just a matter of where one chooses to focus. Am proud to be Kenyan.

@Seun, please tell us that you are a Muslim or a sympathizer of terrorism. You are either hot or cold, can’t be lukewarm. With all the nonsense going on in your country, it’s okay by you to have Muslims comment on Christian threads as they wish, but you see no wrong in making other religious groups claim conversion to Islam before they can comment on their posts. Tell us today where you stand. Let’s stop the hypocrisy. @Lalasticala @Maclatunji @mynd44 @obinoscopy @Semid4lyfe

DEUTERONOMY 13:6-11

Oh because your god is a weakling who cannot defend himself! You must fight to protect a paedophile who married a 6 year old and then consummated their marriage when she was only 9. He then later got himself a sugar momma. Give us a break please. Anywhere your religion is in the world, there must be chaos. All other religions co-exist peacefully but ,whenever Islam comes in the picture, violence is their lifestyle. Spare us the BS. BTW, we Christians no longer follow the law of Moses. We are under a new covenant through Jesus Christ and so in this context, the scriptures you mentioned are not practiced in Christianity. If your Mohammed cannot give a life, tell us why it’s okay to take away lives in his name. Clearly he was ill-mannered seeing that he was a paedophile and later was kept by an old woman. When your leaders insult Jesus or Christians, it’s life you all suffer from selective deafness. None of you speaks up. A religion of violence. No matter how much you try to cover up sh*t, it will eventually smell.

Znation:
Good morning and happy new month nairalanders.

I will not be calling the name of any church, but why do some churches takes the deads to the church and pray for their sins to be forgiven before they are laid to rest?

Note, that most of this person are kept long in murtuary for months, and some even last up to years in the murtuary. But when it is time for their burial, they are first taken to the church for prayers. This prayer is mostly centered on asking God to forgive their sins and accep their souls into his kingdom (heaven).

My questions;

* Is taken dead bodies to the church good in the sight of God?

* Is the fate of the dead decided immidiately after death, or after they are burried?

* Can our sin be forgiven after death?

My opinion is that man was created by God. Churches are houses of worship dedicated for people to meet and give thanks to God , and make their requests known to Him. Man is created by God and when he dies, he goes back to God. If when alive human beings are dedicated, baptized or wed in churches, what makes it wrong to take this person back to church when their life has ended? I don’t believe in praying for the dead to be forgiven their sins, but I do believe in gathering to give thanks to God for the life of the departed , as well as pray for the loved ones left behind. I don’t know why some believe a person can go to church when alive but it’s sin to be taken there when dead. Is the God who gives life different from the God who takes it away?

Kelechi20007:
I recently got admission in a university in uk for my Masters. The challenge I have is that I can't fund it. The only way to to do so is by selling my mom house.

I'm her only child and another difficult challenge is that she was buried in the yard of the house 5 years ago.

I don't have a good job, I have been teaching in a private for a long time, I need a better future for myself, I'm seeing a chance here for a better life by furthering my education in uk.

It's a difficult decision for me selling the house with her grave in it. Please guys put yourself in my shoes, what will you do in this kind of situation?

Have you thought about the future when you have kids and they’d want to see their grandma’s final resting place? I don’t see that as a decision to consider. However, you got a very good advise of exhuming her remains and then bury somewhere else. With this option, her memory would be preserved. I don’t know about Nigeria but in Kenya, a court order must be obtained before exhumation and police officers must be present during the process. You may also want to involve the elders of your community and religious leaders if you are religious.Buy a permanent grave in a cemetery and put her to rest there. The other factor to consider before leaving to the UK for a masters degree, is the course of study you want to pursue. STEM careers are the in thing today especially abroad. Make sure you spend your money on a course that will yield results. Some careers like nursing maybe cheaper to pursue in Nigeria and then apply for a job in the UK. You’d have some short training and an exam before getting licensed to practice there. It’d save you thousands of Euros that you’d probably have to spend in school there.That would save you so much money. Good luck!
