Regex: Nigeria does not value her assets. We don't. These westerners will come over take our brightest mind by offering them good money and thriving environment, because already Nigeria has spat them out.
eduj: imagine? so we went from a guy who restricted visa issuance to Nigerians because of crime and religious extremism,to one who will restrict visa because of same sex relations not being legalised?
We better get our acts together so we are not tossed like weeds.
slyfoxxjoe: I’m not expressing support for the anti-gay law, neither am I condemning it..I don’t really have an opinion on the issue one way or another even though I fundamentally believe it’s not the place of government to regulate people’s sex lives. But all I will say on this issue is that this is another reason African countries really need to develop themselves so we can rid ourselves of all this economic and diplomatic influence the US and western countries have over our domestic policies. You can’t keep seeking their financial and military support and expect them not to demand something in return. He who pays the piper dictates the tune. US always attaches some strings to their financial support. It’s always going to be that way.
@bold:
100% on point.
Nigeria should seriously start getting her acts together.
We would run to the Chinese and they would demand we learn Mandarin in return.
LordKO: 1. Seeking, in the guise the OP did, obviously has an unspoken reason behind it. He has later revealed the unspoken reason anyway. Saying, however, that a single mother or something similar can't be the first choice of anyone under normal circumstances isn't true because it negates the nexus of love.
2. Also, this "There is no free lunch in freetown." remains what it's, an idiom. Taking it literal negates altruism/love. I've always witnessed some people moving mountains for others without looking forward to gaining anything from them or for people who literally have no good to offer them.
1. There is a difference between falling for someone, then later find out she is a single mom/ single dad than a single person 'actively' seeking for a single parent
2. Everyone has a reason/motive for doing something. It can be as 'altrustic' as been a Christian, or love to help, or love the person, or relating in the person's shoes and as 'selfish' as wanting something back or image laundering.
CeoNews: One of such funny happenings just surfaced on Twitter. In the post, A girl made a post on her Twitter account claiming that after her boyfriend had sex with her, he did the most shocking thing that no one would expect.
NwekeUG: Nigerian actress, Regina Askia took to her Instagram handle to share photos of herself and her beautiful daughter together on a movie set, IgbereTV reports.
mrblessed: Such distasteful, irresponsible, and idiotic display of religious tyranny and rascality is only possible in a continent enveloped with darkness. The buffoon that ruined such a special day for this couple has no business being a pastor. One of the dangers of Pentecostalism is the harebrained deification of pastors, as supreme beings not be reproached, or have their actions questioned. Thus, they have become intoxicated and can do what is religiously unimaginable. Don't be shocked if a seizable, braindead fellowers of this charlatan try to excuse, explain away, or defend this show of shame.
[b]A sensible clergyman would have commenced the service in their absence, and admonished them in love on the need to be always punctual.[/b]Not to cancel their wedding ceremony just because of mere five minutes late. Who does that?
Justkatty: Same thing that happened in my church few years back and is still happening, you come late for mass, no joining of you both� You guys will go for reception first, and come back by 4pm for the joining and this has taught so many person's lesson.
What lessons is this supposed to teach?
By wasting people's time and disrupting their calendars?
As verses 1 and 3 both say, the woman and the dragon are metaphors for something else. It is important to note that unless Revelation (and indeed any other part of the Bible) says that something is a sign, we would be most unwise to assume that it is not being literal. Your questions show that you recognize that these are signs that need interpretation, good for you.
1. The woman is Israel, just as the 12 stars show. Compare Genesis 37:9-10. The 12 stars stand for the 12 tribes of Israel.
2. The child is the Lord Jesus Christ. Many Bible passages here in Revelation and all over the Bible including Psalm 2, Isaiah 7, and Isaiah 9 attest to this.
3. As verse 5 says and as the rest of the Bible bears witness, the Lord Jesus will return to destroy Satan's kingdom ruling over the earth currently and take rulership over the whole world.
Is this same Ihedinobi of family Section those years?
phantom24: May his soul rest in peace, meanwhile if you spend 50k daily, it will take u at least 50yrs b4 u can exhust N1billion. And you can't make 1bn at d age of 20 in naija legitimately. So i suggest a monetary policy shld be place on most of these billionaires accnt. So as to enable equity in wealth distribution Cos they only amass these wealth for vanity sake while govt. Is borrowing every year to fund its budget.
peacekante: Lol. I used to think that way until I watched the video when lawyers from diaspora who were calling told the human right mediator that only court can make them go for DNA test if she insist she doesn't want the test conducted
A NLer once said feminism that should be 'women can do anything' because 'women can do everything'.
So while the woman's job of housekeeping and child nuturing is there, we have also added the traditional work hours of men.
Women who did not have the opportunity to work outside the house felt cheated and clamoured to work traditional work hours. Those who have the opportunity and encouraged to do are burnt out trying to do it all.
Then you have the desire to be productive, be a part of something bigger than your self, be mentally engaged and invest in the society.
When I did not have a job after NYSC, I was so mentally disengaged that I picked my lesson notes during service and read, read my project, write out articles for friends/family, did cardboard designs for Church, wanted to establish an editorial unit in Church, helped neighbors mind their kids.... Did all sorts till I got a job.
Now, what won't I give for a year of rest (paid leave. ) and do other things apart from work.
This life ehn, damned if you are, damned if you are not.
It is just to pick your path, ensure the advantages are more than the disadvantages (everything has merits/demerits on earth) and make your peace.
mabeni: i said so because i asked for my meal in her presence...my wife didn't respond and at a point, she told me she only cooked for herself. She was eating all these while and her mom was sitting there without saying a word.
You still have no right to call your MIL useless
Perhaps she wanted to mind her business or she spoke to her daughter in private?
Did you engage her privately to intervene in the matter since she is with you guys?
