saaphiere: Hmm. God I don't need this kind of achievement. I need a God-fearing husband, respectful kids, friendly in-laws, academic and career success, a peaceful home.
Zenzu01: I think your God should also kill you for all those lies you've said.
I believe if you were in their shoes, you would have done worse.
Don't judge others because their sins are different from yours.
Modified.
For those quoting me, I'm not saying that he must help them, it is his choice but he should not use their situation to mock them or rub it on their faces because he doesn't know the whole story.
My mom raised us like a single mom not because she doesn't have a husband or we didn't stay with our father. He just didn't care...
God will never kill him for saying the truth, instead God will increase him even as He is adding more to him already. Learn to digest well word by word, sentence by sentence before you judge or curse.
One of the best governors this country ever had and the only person worth being NIGERIAN PRESIDENT among the politicians ever existed, the only problem he has is that he is not a crook or die hard politician like others, but if the youth sit down and write agreement with him he is the best for now.
Despirado121: Billionaire businessman Femi Otedola says he understands the call for better governance by the youth, adding that he joined the Ali must go protest of 1978 at age 16, Igbere TV reports.
Mr Otedola stated this in a social media post on Sunday with the Nigerian flags for emphasis.
Otedola said he shared the sentiment of his daughters – Tolani, Florence (aka DJ Cuppy) and Temi – who joined the #EndSARS protest in London and Lagos.
Igbere TV reports that Tolani and Temi were part of the #EndSARS protest against police brutality in London. Cuppy, on the other hand, joined the protest in Lagos upon her return from Dubai.
Meanwhile, state governments have urged the youths to stop the protest and come to the negotiation table.
I have said it before, divide this country into:
(1) AREWA REPUBLIC
(2) ODUDUWA REPUBLIC
(3) REPUBLIC OF BIAFRA
(4) NIGER-DELTA REPUBLIC
(5) CONFLUENCE REPUBLIC
Each republic will have their own police and accountability reform/assurance measures
XtremelyCoded: In the heat of the #EndSars protests, it seems Wizkid is very uncomfortable with Reekado Banks' plan of dropping a collabo with Wizkid later today.
DebbieBianca: Popular Nollywood actor Yul Edochie, lead groups of protester in Endsars protest in Asaba, Delta State.
Yul Said , Government should give jobs to youths, and stop harassing people all in the name of yahoo. He said, the people doing the Yahoo is using their brain to do it, because they don't have job, but when they give them job, they will use that brain to integrate in their job.
He went further to say, he has been waiting for this day to come. He said "A New Dawn Has Come".

The idea of the Special Security and Human Rights Committee in all States of the Federation and the FCT is to ensure that police formations and other security agencies in the State consistently protect the Human Rights of citizens.
Members of the Special Committee would also include Representatives of Youths, and Civil Society. The head of Police tactical units in each of the State would also be a member of the Committee.
Regarding the Judicial Panel of Inquiry, each State Government is to set up the Panel, chaired by a retired High Court Judge, with other members selected by the State Governor as follows: *Two representatives of Civil Society groups *One Retired Police Officer of high repute *One Youth Representative *One Student Representative * One Representative of the State Attorney-General Ministry and a representative from the National Human Rights Commission.
The terms of reference for the Judicial Panel is to - *receive and investigate complaints of Police brutality or related extra judicial killings; *evaluate evidence presented/other surrounding circumstances, and draw conclusions as to the validity of the complaints; and *recommend compensation and other remedial measures, where appropriate.
The Panel’s assignment should be concluded within a maximum of six (6) months, unless it shows convincing reasons why the State Governor should allow an extension.
There would also be Human Rights Public Complaints Team of between 2 to 3 persons to receive complaints on an ongoing basis. That team would be established by the Special Committee on Security and Human Rights.
It was resolved that each State Government shall also set up such a Complaints Office to which members of the public can relate by telephone or social media channels.
It shall be the duty of the officers of the Complaints Office to liaise with the leadership of security agencies, attempt resolution of complaints or otherwise guide the complainants.

I was acting with her in Asaba not more than a month ago and her husband was handling the camera and also directing; but when I came in I was shocked how dark, skinny, unkept or ordinary she looked and I wondered why? May be deep cracks have there all these while and the pot has been boiling. I so much hate marriage break-up especially for people you treasure. I wish some good & matured people can bring them together to sort out their differences for them to become happy together again.
Ghost231: Don't mind them jare! Those calling you block head didn't know your toto was unblocked! When you don't have one, you have no choice but to use the other! #TagTheSponsor #ShowWorking
SecretSpy666: Greetings Nairalanders, I want to seek for you peoples opinions regarding my family challenges.
I'm from a broken home. My parents divorced when I was a child of two years. I'm the only child from their union. My father and mother abandoned me and remarried to other spouse each. I passed through hell growing up with relatives who insulted me with all kinds of names and I was treated like a slave to their own children.
Because of public outcry about my dehumanizing treatment, my father came to village and took me to the city. It was from fry pan to fire experience as my father's new wife was maltreating me. At a point, my father asked me to leave his house that since my arrival, he don't have peace with his wife.
I packed to the house of a relative and work in a block industry to help myself. Most times, I slept in a CAC church close to the relative house as the two-room apartment is not enough for his family. My mother never care if I was alive. She never call me nor reply to letter I sent through someone to her. I continued working in the block industry and started a part time programme. I completed the part time programme and did my NYSC and master degree. I got a job with University of Ado Ekiti with the help of a course mate, managing myself now and surprisingly my mother and father started calling me often.
Both of them have 6 children each with their respective second spouse. Mother want his son to come and live with me, I refused and my father too have been requesting for financial assistance which I also refused. I don't want to have anything to do with both of them. My father's daughter recently called me to help her with school fees, I bluntly told her to ask her mother what she did to me and caught the call. Since then, she never call.
I'm alone and have just two friends. I don't have family. All of them calling now are just looking for what to get from me, not that they care about me. My mother never call me once to ask about my welfare even when I sent my phone number to her through her relative. I wrote WAEC, completed degree course before she started calling me and it is only to request for one thing or other. I'm planning to get married without telling them and build a separate family.
Marry without their knowledge if its possible by your traditional + church ways. After that forgive your parents(make sure you do this only after your marriage o; and give them + their children serious gaps if you don't want cry had-I-known in the long run
Here is Dr. Innocent Chinyere Ohiri, of the Dept. of Theatre Arts and Films Study, University of Port Harcourt, the man who played the role of WILI WILI back in the 80's.
This guy terrorized our childhood sha. One word for him.
Whoever made the sound track of Willi Willi coming out of the grave and his make up na dem finish us. I still dey fear as una bring up this matter now.
donvoice: The president of the first gospel drama ministry in Africa, Mike Bamiloye has also taken the turn after Pastor David Ibiyiome and Apostle Paul Eneche to shot back at Daddy Freeze in a very uncommon way by using Bible verse to buttress his point.
The controversial part is that, his scriptural backing cannot be pointed either as to other Minister's of the gospel of Daddy Freeze.
For those who have the spirit of understanding like lightning, the gift given to Daniel in the Bible, this is the interpretation of these two verses quoted by Mike Bamiloye
(1) the first verse is saying: DO NOT USE THE STYLE THAT A FOOL USES WHEN REACTING/RESPONDING TO HIS FOOLISHNESS
(2) the second verse is saying: GIVE A FOOL THE FULL WEIGHT OF ACTIVE RESPONSE(REBUKE) TO HIS FOOLISH WORDS/ACTION TO DETER HIM FROM REPEATING SUCH FOLLY AGAIN
Oldpikin: I'm 27 and a graduate. But I look so much like I'm still a teenager and it turning me to an introvert. And my voice isn't helping especially when I'm on phone. I wanted to start smoking weed for a thicker voice but someone told me that it doesn't work for everybody.
I was about to start using some stuffs for my beards to grow but I'm scared of the side effects. Do you know how I get a thicker voice in few days? Do you know how I could get beards in few days using organic combinations?
bbbabes: Former Kaduna lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, in his reaction the report on exit of retail giant Shoprite from Nigeria, has said it will provide an opportunity for local supermarkets in the country to grow.
In a tweet he shared, Sani stated that the company is free to stay if they intend doing that and if they have decided to leave teh country, then they are also free to go.
mabeni: Is it natural forgetting ones dream(s) before day breaks? I am in my early 30s.
I can't sleep without dreaming either good or bad but it baffles me why I can't or won't be able to remember anything from the dream when I wake up.
It is the devil that is stealing your dreams through witchcraft operations because they already know that you have great gifts of understanding and solving any problem you come across, they know you have a great destiny ahead, so their best attack is to make never to UNDERSTAND because if you UNDERSTAND you are UNSTOPPABLE.
Therefore, start prayers 15 minutes to midnight till 15 minutes after midnight, then sleep; but your prayer points should be:
(1) God, thank you for the way you have made me and all you have put in me and thus far you have led me.
(2) Oh God, I am sorry for all my secret & open sins, all my disobediences, all my lawlessness, mention all your actual sins to Him.
(3) remind Him of His words in Genesis 1:25-28 where He says you will have dominion over things in the water, things in the land and air.
(4) report your dream situation to Him, and due to your God-given right in Gen 1:25-28 that any power from air, land or water trying to claim ownership/control of your life should die and let you get your spiritual freedom. Psalm 83:1-end
NB: 1) make sure you believe in your own prayers
2) reduce/stop the quantity of your sins
3) do it for 7 days with or without fasting and see the result for yourself.

Since 2017? You don't know that technology changes every 3/6 months? 2017 was outdated immediately we entered 2018 let alone 2020.
sarrki: Members of the Chadian National Assembly visited Idris Derby at his temporary base in the bush to register their support in his efforts to cleanse Chad from insurgents.
I see leadership generally accepted; I see followership; I see unity; I see focus. What else should I add here?
I just read through the write-up of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy; I also went through the clarion call of Honorable Dino Meleye; I further went through the story of 5G masts burning in UK and all the comments & arguments that followed these topics.

Please every confused person should quickly watch the American movie RAMPAGE starred by DWAYNE JOHNSON(aka THE ROCK). Please watch the movie carefully and see how 3 different animals, a gorilla, a wolf and a crocodile were separately infected by a programmed virus at different locations, but are being controlled & pulled by a radio wave + digital antenna to a telecom mast.
