Munzy14:Thank you, I'll try, |
Munzy14:Nothing serious, But I'm confident that I will get there, If you can give me some directions, I'll appreciate it, I can't enter a restaurant, and be looking for signs of wealth to convince me that I don't deserve to be in there, I reject it in Jesus' name... |
I reject poverty, in Jesus' name... |
Come clean, everyone! |
As you celebrate LOVE today... There was a time during my undergraduate days, when I had just one pair of sandals, That sandal was my all-in-all, I wore it to lectures, I wore it to church, I wore it to every outing I had to attend, In fact, anytime I wasn't home, Then that sandal was definitely wherever I was, Fortunately for me, the sandal was quite rugged, It also matched the different outfits I wore, perfectly, You see, That pair of sandals was the apple of my eyes, I cared for this sandal as any responsible man would cared for his new wife, I loved and cherished this sandal as any honorable mother would love her first child, This sandal was never out of my sight, It was my trusted and reliable companion, I always polished it, and brought it into my room whenever I returned home, You'd never see it with my bathroom slippers outside my room, I never let anyone borrow it, not even my roommate, I knew that if it got damaged or stolen, there would be no other option for me, One day, my roommate was going out, He saw this my 'beloved' sandal outside, and asked if he could borrow it, I told him to go ahead, that we were roommates after all, and that he didn't need my permission to use my footwear, He laughed out loud, throwing his head back and holding his sides, When I asked his reason, he reminded me of the the times I refused to let him wear my sandals, He also recalled one incident where I had even rebuked him for taking my sandals outside because he was cleaning our room, He asked me what had changed, In his words, "...like say you don buy new sandals..." I joined in his laughter, and told him he could leave the sandals if he didn't need it, He left with the sandals, but not before throwing some extra jabs at me, It was after he left, that I considered what he had said, Indeed, I had gotten another pair of sandals, as well as a new pair of shoes, But, What I had done to my 'beloved' pair of sandals had been unintentional, It was then that I realized that I had become a bit careless in my treatment of my trusted and reliable companion, *** I might not be a professional in matters of the heart, The truth is, many of you treat your partners the same way I treated my sandals, (probably worse), After all, you've got other options you can resort to when things get ugly, But, you will have (and continue to have) problems in your "relationship", if you continue this way, When you can't set your heart on one person, You will fight more often, You will keep finding useless reasons to quarrel, You will find it easier to not forgive their faults, You will find it harder to appreciate their strengths, You will always find opportunities to highlight (and emphasize) their weaknesses, You will find it difficult to treat them with the respect they deserve, You will find it impossible to remain committed to them, Why? You have a backup plan (or plans), It's Valentine's day, You have probably sent a well-crafted message (and maybe a gift or two) to that 'special' person, The same you, have also sent similar messages to the other 'upcoming special' people in your life, (messages you would do anything to make sure no one else sees) And still the same you, are wondering why your 'relationship' isn't working, You might feel that you are protecting your interests, or creating a safe landing for yourself if things go south, But you are not being wise, Am I asking you to put all your eggs in one basket? Hell YES!, and to quit that 'relationship' if you can't trust your partner (or yourself) to remain committed, All this 'sidechick', 'sideguy', 'bestie', 'childhood friend', 'prayer-partner', and other spare tyres you are driving around with, -Whom you struggle to invest time and emotions to keep 'warm' and 'interested' in you, -While at the same time, making it look like that there's nothing serious between you two, Will sap you of the effort and commitment you need to make your relationship work, Am I asking you to put all your eggs in one basket? YES! I'm also asking you to walk away from that relationship if you have any reason to doubt your partner (or yourself) *** I'm asking you to come out clean, TODAY! Remember, LOVE is true, Do your partner(s) a favour today, and come out clean, You will also be doing yourself a huge favour, boosting your mental health and confidence, and improving the quality of your life, Love without deceit, Come out clean! #LifeNuggets #love #valentine

I have a strong feeling that this post and the initial post by the seller in question might be nothing more than a publicity stunt, But for a seller to drag a prospective client online because he blocked her after cancelling an order in progress, isn't ethical, You might have gotten a little something 'for your stress' and maybe a few orders made by sympathetic Nairalanders, But it would be best, if you never resort to this method when next you face a similar issue, It would be unhealthy for your business image and perception (this should bother you unless you are not building something that is meant to last), Also, apologize to this client in question (if you have the heart), You have certainly subjected him to public ridicule, Lastly, let everyone of us learn to give other people the benefit of a doubt, All of you calling the said client 'wicked', 'scammer', and other unprintable names might be letting out your frustrations based on personal experiences, But we all should do better next time. |
He who seeks justice must come with clean hands, IPOB and Nnamdi Kanu cannot claim ignorance in this sit-at-home issue, After building a large following founded on aggression, hate, calumny, and deceit, You can't claim you don't know what is happening, What did you expect when you railed against traditional institutions sacred to the Ibo people you claimed you wish to liberate? What did you expect when you set your dogs against every religious denomination in the Southeast? What did you expect when you played the tribal card in turning your followers against their perceived 'oppressors'? What did you expect while recruiting uncouth, frustrated, and illiterate people as your foot soldiers without bothering to train them? What did you expect when you constantly referred to Nigeria as a zoo, and Nigerians as monkeys and baboons on all your recognized media channels? What did you expect after Buhari miraculously returned to life after you proclaimed him dead to all your followers? What did you expect when you clearly lack the capacity to engage in-house opposition with civility, but rather branding every contrary voice a saboteur? Come on! You guys missed it a long time ago, The Nigerian government (especially the current administration) has given any right-thinking person enough evidence of its nepotism and inefficiency, You didn't need any propaganda at all to bury this government, or further your cause, I wish you restrategize soon, Lots of your prospective followers do not wish to tow the path of violence you are advocating, Long live Ndigbo! Long live Biafra! |
If - as you say, that - you were born and brought up in the church, Then, you would not have made this letter public. I agree that you have raised valid points - based on Deeperlife's - doctrines, But this letter of yours is beginning to look like an attempt for cheap publicity. |
This is a very bad time to hand out such an award. Many of the contenders are still in camp at the AFCON, and you might demoralize them. |
Bmaster:You're strong. I wish you all the love and success you desire |
As much as it is necessary to rid the society of evil, this approach is not correct. Do drunkards receive the same treatment? How about those who abuse marijuana, codeine and other hard drugs? When will these self-ordained justices fish out these ones too and give them the same treatment? Who determines which drug is suitable to abuse, and which drugs are not? Who determines what punishment (if deserving) is fit for those convicted in their courts of moral conduct? All forms of drug abuse are detrimental to the progress of any society. But we must fight right. And this approach is not right. |
There is neither truth nor justice, only POWER. SERAP doesn't know how to play this game. Demanding transparency and accountability goes beyond the casual whipping up of public sentiment. |
Physician, heal thyself! This is raw. |
iLegendd:Which of the two titles in the picture would you first recommend to a newbie? I have got time on my hands this holiday. |
It is wrong that the said letter might have been falsified in order to secure your disqualification. I hope that the perpetrators are apprehended and made to face the full wrath of the law. But I must equally register my disappointment with the speed and confidence with which you played the 'gender' card. If you can fully ascertain that the 'they' you believe orchestrated this heinous crime did it just because you were a woman, then I insist that you name them. Or was this just another banal plot with which you plan to gather sympathy votes from unsuspecting women who would unassumingly believe that your disqualification had become a 'men vs women' war? Come on! With the level of intellectual exposure in today's society, some practices should be left to lesser animals. Lots of you are quick to vilify men and blow resolvable grievances out of proportion for the simple furtherance of the imaginary 'gender wars' you believe you are fighting. We all cried out against Justice Odili's home invasion. We all celebrated Okonjo Iweala's appointment. We all mourned Dora Akunyili's demise. Stop promoting this inherent hatred for all men. It won't do the society any good. Please! #RESPECT |
Hello. What's the best way to reach you? |

@TheGidRedPiller There are times when you are only required to be human, not right, not alpha, not woke, just human. This was such a time, but (I regret to say this) you failed. You also put yourself at unnecessary risk. While the lady in question may have acted in a way unbecoming of responsible people, you shouldn't have done the same. You had a golden opportunity to act like an alpha male, but you chose to be a beta simp (by letting your resentment of women - and their ways - cloud your thinking). I know that my words may be blunt, but it's nothing personal. Just try to do better next time. Stay safe! PS: With the way you think, I seriously hope you are still below 16 years of age. |
It's sad. Rape is as despicable as any crime could be, and should be fought by the collective effort of everyone in the society. Unfortunately, people have let their emotions get in the way of their reasoning and use the 'misopportunity' such an ignoble act provides, to wear the crown of victimhood while they slander and demonize every member of the male gender. Others have used this same 'misopportunity' to apportion blames to the victims who deserve all the help they can get. I feel sad. The OP raised valid points in her post (and subsequent rebuttals), but it was easy (too easy) to notice how much she let sentiments get in her way. I have also observed with despair, the vile insults many have hurled at each other on a thread as sensitive as this one. Shame! Shame on you all! To everyone with helpful suggestions females could use to protect themselves from being rape victims, keep that advice to yourself, your sisters and your daughters. Your advice won't bring the change and healing our society desires. To everyone who believes every man is a guilty rapist until proven innocent, keep your assumptions to yourself, your brothers and your sons. Your assumptions won't deliver the peace and safety our society desires. Do all you can to conquer evil. But be careful, lest you become another evil that needs conquering. |

One can only imagine the terror of those bandits as they heard the frustrated mob demanding for their blood. At that point they must have hoped that the policemen could prevail against the mob and ensure the lawful administration of justice. Oh! The irony of life! They must have wished for reinforcements from other police stations to secure their lives. They would have welcomed the presence of an armoured division from the Nigerian army. Alas, it was not to be. Nothing would save them from the same injustice they had inflicted on others. It was then that they realized how dear the gift of life really was, and the agony their countless victims must have suffered. They may regretted their choices then, but discovered to their dismay that it was too late for regrets. They may have prayed to God for a second chance, only to discover that God is never mocked. They may have cursed Shaitan, only to be discover that they would face their ends alone. And so, they resigned themselves to fate as the bloodthirsty youth overpowered the police, and dragged them out of their cells. A sad tale, my friends. A very sad tale. I pray that you never feature in such tales. Be a man of peace. Encourage your neighbors to do the same. I'm Chinemerem, And until we meet again, have a happy life. |
Nonpartisan1:I think this is the most honest description I have found about IPOBists online. Labelling them as the Taliban of the Southeast is incorrect though. They should be labeled something worse, something more nefarious, something more godless. It is a shame that they deceived so many honest Ibo people into joining their demonic cult before showing their true colors. Those who are committed to making you free, will never deny you the right to make a choice. As an Ibo person (who has lived amongst the three major tribes of the country), I have realized that it is more profitable to wish for a better world than for the creation of Biafra. If I ever wish for Biafra, I won't wish to share it with these blood-sucking and violence-loving individuals (who are no different from the Fulanis they encourage everyone to hate). |
Thanks for the vivid descriptions. The story feels alive. Thanks for sharing. Team Ukutunku all the way. |
MdNice1:Come on man. Why do you curse this much? Even the innocent writers who know nothing about your issue? Come on! Whatever your reason might be for acting this way, I pray that you overcome it. God bless you. |
(first time to ask her for money in our 6 years relationship) Your post would still have made sense without that line |
It could be a fraudulent offer. Apply caution. |
InspectorIawaI:Brisbanequeen? Better come off it. Her work demands the best quality, but the experience is worth it. So, if she doesn't pay you (which I have never witnessed), then the problem may have come from you. Keep in touch with her. |
Nne, don't tell me what you want. Just tell me how you want it. Mm, mummy? |
