Greatzeus:
That's Nigerian for you. We are so corrupt greedy and godless. If that man should hold a political appointment in the future,did you think he will perform?
We keep telling you people,stop hating parties or calling out a particular tribe you think didn't vote for your candidate. Your candidate is one man, that will appoint tens of thousands to work with him. He can't do shit because Nigerians are thieves and just needed an opportunity to show their insatiable want for money.
For me,when dealing with a Nigerian, you're guilty until you have proven innocent. You can't scam me before,I already held you a scammer and I act with that consciousness during our dealings,I'm 100% on guard, watching out for your scam.
If you turn out to be honest,good I win. If you turn to be a scammer,good also , because I was expecting it already.

You're right.
We're different set of people from this part of the world. Is terrible

Mindlog:
Personally, I would insist he bottles mine from the bucket right there in my presence and if he resists, the red flag will activate in my mind.

The one in the bucket is not upto a cup and he has no empty rubber.

I guess Na Abroad she dey reside before

You mean is not a big deal?

phorget:
Humanity has been thrown to the dogs,man to man injustice has become the order of the day.

So sorry about the experience but that is exactly what we have been reduced to.

Sad.
Thanks

duro4chang:
It is the same evil with the people importing and manufacturing fake and adulterated drugs and food.

So true

1TrippleCee:
It is a fundamental human condition you are unaware of or pay less attention to.

Do this and thank me in Heaven. Humans prey on one anothers need just in a bid to sell. Whenever you need anything so despretaley, hide the essense and urgency of the purpose and do it less seriously than the urgency. In this way, your desperation is hidden and you are not preyed on. If you continue to show your emotions and neediness, you will suffer in this world.

Right though

duduade:
Didn't you collect his number?

He should have given you his number

No I don't. I know where I can see him again, just that it's very far. Besides, I don't want trouble

So, few days ago, I drove a far distance to somewhere I was told I can get natural honey. When I got there, I explained what I needed it for to the man selling, I even told him, someone's life is a stake if it's not pure, natural honey.
I begged him to be honest with me.
I explained my distance and all the challenges. He swore heaven and earth. He showed me the one in the bucket and I tested. He even lectured me on how to identify the original honey. He had already bottled the rest and claimed it's the same from the bucket. I opened and tested, it was the same, But i didn't know he only added few original honey an the top, while the rest in the bottle was not.
So I bought one full rubber, I refused to price him down and I still tip him. Because I believed him and I wanted to show my appreciation, but do you know this man was lieing?

To my greatest surprise, the following morning, the honey has turned to something different, It became watery and taste different.
We couldn't use it and the aim was defeated.

I'm still shock thinking about all the effort he put on to decieved me.
I keep wondering,
Why do we do wrong to each other in this country no matter the cost?
Is it because of the economy or we naturally are like that?

Have someone ever put on effort to convince you, decieve you and you fall for it, but later discovered it was all a lie? Have this ever happened to you before? Share your experience. Let's learn.

I thought we were done with terrorism all along.

Welcome to Nigeria where powerful people fight/kill innocent citizens, inorder to convey their messages to their opponent.

@Op,
Evaluate it again. Sit her down and tell her of your intention and how you have suffered all these years
Believe me, you can't divorce her and stay alone without entering more tight situations. Either positive or negative.

You said you have kids. Don't make mistake where your kids will grow up to see you as a bad father who left. Money isn't everything pls

Very important, she need counseling in respect to this. She might not even know she's not treating you well.

Newborn27:
Humanity,Peace of mind and sound health supercede money.

Especially sound health

BRATISLAVA:
It happens everywhere, but Nigerians are the masters of the art of the showoff and the loud talk. They talk about common things a if they are special. It's like a celebration of mediocrity. Perhaps it is due to poverty. Otherwise why would a person driving/owning a car feel accomplished because they drive/own a car, and use it as a yardstick to belittle others, as seen frequently on the forum. "I am comfortable" indeed.

Notably, other nations of poor people tend to celebrate such things. They constantly need to measure.

That said, money doesn't bring happiness. And you're going to want happiness in life.

So True.

Hathor5:
Gandhi didn`t have money and properties and yet his influence was and legacy still is remarkable.

That's different from my point of view.

MrsTwrite:
Perhaps this only happens in Nigeria, where poverty is the order of the day.

you may be right.
But we are not the poorest country in the world.

sofeo:
It's only a reflection of the Nigerian system.. That's not how it usually work in a sane and developed world most times.
They think with their senses, they are well educated and informed, alot of them understand God and the essence of Life, which majority of us don't do in the part of the world.

Most Nigerians aren't that informed, could be due to the fact that we have a kinda backwarded mentality, which is why we envy ourselves and even attack progress, thereby making it compulsory for ppl to worship whoever struggles to make it by force. it's everywhere but too common in Nigeria.

It's rooted in our mentality.

Money and true love run the world smoothly. If we cherish genuine love, we are well informed and fear God, then money wouldn't be much priority in our midst, as attentions would be properly channeled to others things that even money needs to make our society function well, which is Love and the dear of God.

Wao. @bolded.

Mozino007:
Money is good but humanity is the best…Just to be kind to one n other…Not every problem money can solved!

But it seems no matter how much you do, once you don't input money, your effort wouldn't be regarded much.

Raicy0220:
I often think that if I became as wealthy as Bill Gates, I would be such a cheerful, gentle, and kind person. When I have enough money, things go smoothly, and my interactions with others become pleasant, everything becomes clear and bright

So, money over every other things? Is that?

I'm just thinking out loud.
Money is good, I'm not disputing that fact.
But why does it look like the only language that makes people adore a fellow human is when the person gives out money?

To so many people, once you don't have money, they can never take any advice from you. A rich person, can suddenly become a motivational speaker and everyone will follow.

It seems the only thing that rules the world is having plenty money?
People throw away their happiness, a lover, family, good friends, just to have ONLY money.

A man can publicly be trending for the wrong reasons (Hook up, Yahoo, ritual, fake religious leader, witchcraft etc) but once he's/she's involve in philanthropic services, the society quickly accept him/her as a kind and a good Human.

Does it mean having plenty money and giving it back to the society is the greatest thing?

What's your opinion about this?

What have you or someone done for you aside giving you money, that you appreciate more than money? Pls share

Any relationship that's instigating anger, rude behavior, violence in you, is not healthy for you.
A relationship where you're doing the scolding and talking, while she isn't interested in positive communication for positive change is not good enough for both of you.

And you need to take life easy as well. Not every action from her, need scolding. She's not your daughter or student.

The truth is, when you meet someone who genuinely love and care for you, he/she will not stress you. He/she will love to make effort to make himself/herself better for you.
Two can not work together, unless they agree

Very true. Success is not for everyone. Is not enough to desire it. You must work hard to achieve it.

Dtruthspeaker:
Not anymore

Then, there's need to keep making effort to straighten things instead of normalizing the abnormal things happening

luwiizy:
you gather yourself every Sunday for prayers while government of other developed nations engage its citizens with Education and productivity....
You depend on them for common things. as little as toothpick...
hospitals are like graveyards, instead of thinking of way out of this mess.. you pray to God.... Your G.Os don't believe in that God... they have thier personal Doctors on standby while you all die like flies.
God can't save a senseless being...they perish in foolishness

Deep

Dtruthspeaker:
Do you choose God? Even your thread here shows you looking for man to save you and make life better.

How? Is God coming down from heaven to save us?

MaxInDHouse:
It's through Government policies Jesus was put to death yet he relied completely on God's Kingdom! John 18:36

His disciples are to do the same thing!

Are you suggesting we ignore government, politics as Christians?

rickleye:
What kain counsellor advises a woman to cheat ?
That’s one side of the story - what’s the man side .
If I were to counsel it would Be to suggest that she try and bring the man along .
Leave the marriage .

No one is counseling a married woman to cheat.

Kobojunkie:
I have a problem with people using God's mention to trade what are lies. God disavowed marriage in Genesis 3 vs 16 and for this reason, Jesus Christ reiterated that marriage has nothing to do with the Kingdom of God in Luke 20 vs 34 - 36. Most people don't know this or care to admit this hence the reason why they continue to pretend marriage some sort of holy union by God when it ceased to be that when God cursed Adam.

we are all entitled to our opinion about God anyway

Dtruthspeaker:
It is churchgoers you mean. Christians would have told you that God left you people since you rejected Him and chose men to rule you, so why disturb Him? Find another man to solve your problems for you na.

How did we left God?

MaxInDHouse:
True Christians have nothing to do with voting human government because our government is not of this world! John 18:36
We are praying for God's Kingdom to come {Matthew 6:9-10} all human governments will be exterminated {Daniel 2:44} that's why Herod the great wanted baby Jesus dead {Matthew 2:16} because as a Jew he knew from the scriptures that the Christ will destroy all human government!

Are you for real? While you're waiting for God's kingdom, are you not taking part in the activities going on here? Does the government policies not affect everyone?

mariovito:
The answer is in the question

We are Hypocrites. I guess

Honestly, I am tempted to believe that Nigerian Christians are hypocrites.

Where have all the energy decipated during the election disappeared to?
I can vividly remember how we were pushed to bring our PVC for prayers, asking God for a free and fair election. The energy and voicing were much, advocating for justice and rightful procedures. But the election was not properly done. We all know what happens.
After everything, the next thing I'm hearing now in most congregation is ''THIS ADMINISTRATION WILL FAVOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY ''
Why have the Christian given up so soon?
Can we now say everything is now the will of God?
Is this how God wishes to answer all our prayers?
Or we are just hypocrites?


Apart from this pastor Sarah,
https://fb.watch/mxzkH9TIS_/?mibextid=Ho8ZP4furl6uuICR


every other person, have gone to hiding.
No one is asking his congregation to pray for justice and right decision from the judiciary.
Transportation is very high, people are suffering. But no religious leader is complaining.
What's your opinion on this?

Kobojunkie:
If men were indeed "wired" as you claim then you wouldn't find men who are able to go against this programming, would you? It is women who refuse to accept the reality of things that get hit the hardest.

And please stop dragging the mentions of God into what is foolishness. He never did or did any of what you claim, so you have no reason to mention him.

How? You have a problem with the name ''God''?

oliverwrites:
I hate monsters and no matter what my experience in life, I will never treat a woman bad, especially as I have girls, but these days, when I read about men being monsters to their women, my first instinct blames the woman.

That feel is as a result of what I am going through.

Whatever you're going through, take it easy. Life is short.
