People do it! In USA, it is more rampant, especially those that want to specialise in Oral and maxillofacial surgery!

The USA that has one of the most developed plastic surgery practice in the world.

What is the Job of a plastic and recontructive surgeon?
Even in plastics, they have subspecialties.
You can cross from specialties to specialties but Hardly from MBBS to BDS

Nigeriadondie:
That is too weak come on. That is because of d gun laws. Take a look at other countries without such gun laws it is much safer like d place I live u dont hear of that. It is enough reason to feel Nigeria is much better than d US. As a Nigerian have u had light for 24 hrs a day not to talk of 1 week uniterrupted power. Even Aso rock budget for gen and fuel but I have experienced my 4th yr abroad with not even an interruption for 1min.

Exactly my brother.
Mine was for 5 and a half years with power interruption of just one day for 18hrs.
It was on a Friday, everyone was prepared for it 'cause the notice was sent from monday of that week.

Nigeria has a long way to go and i doubt the country can ever make it.

To all those that still believe in Nigeria, una well done oo. Keep it up!

���� medicine is a noble course
I myself want to study it but there is not too much difference BTW MBBS and BDS

and if u are in MBBS and u want a BDS degree its 3 yrs but from BDS to MBBS it 18month

���� so in jamb if they give me MBBS or BDS am ready to study it

Why would i want to cross over to BDS from MBBS?
Who does that? there are dozens of specialties available for an MBBS grad and 3yrs is enough to take you half the ride.

@Op,when you're ready to get to work, you won't be asking unnecessary questions.

itsmeurLady:
My spirit tells me the storehouse is the church Of God... and it has been working for me. If I was wrong, it won't be working, right?? Whenever I give my tithe, I do not lack for that period, I dwell in abundance just like the Bible explained. So, my dear, I'd stick to that instead

Ok, i get you.
Now, it works for you because tithing is a facet of giving. Both operate in same divine principle. Anyone who gives MUST receive in multiple folds no matter whom they give to.
In other words, it would still work for you even if you gave to Adolph Hitler who was considered to be one of the hardest men in history.

Learn more about tithing and the reason for that command in num 18:20-30.The levites had no inheritance because they were cosecrated to God alone. They were the people responsible for the temple where God resided. So God commanded the Israelite to bring this 10% into his storehouse which used to be the tent and temple so the Levite could survive. God didn't say you're giving the tithe to him. It was for the priests. That is Love

Read Deuteronomy 14:22 down and emphasize on verses 28 and 29, you'll understand the whole essence of tithing.

It's a symbol of love. Giving to whom doesn't have and not to the people who had.
After Jesus came, he sanctified all and we became his temple/tent where God lives.

Remember, you said His store house is the Church of God which is YOU and I. No longer a temple where God appeared and was served by the Levites in the leventical dispensation, not a building or a ministry, but humans...Humans, Christians are the body of Christ, the Church. That's where i believe our tithes should be paid.

It was nice exchanging ideas with you though. Thanks

aboyaji:
Are you a Christian?

Ok, only Christians know what tithing means and from people's comments here, we are trying to find out ways to express ourselves through tithing. And also, to make sure we're on the right track: tithing through the man of God or tithing through the needy etc.

Who is a man of God?

itsmeurLady:
OGA Know-the-bible, one thing is to read the Bible and the other thing is to get revelation knowledge. That same bible sed, the letter killeth buh the word giveth life... don't become too familiar with the Bible that Uve decided to restrict urself from learning new things from that same bible. I am still learning Gods word and I'm growing in it everyday and it's that same bible that sed in Malachi that We shld bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse and the Lord will open the windows of heaven unto u such that the blessings u will receive there will not be room enough to contain it. I'm following it and it has been producing massive results for me, I don't care who eats the tithe, that's the person's business, all I kno is I've obeyed God's instructions and I've gotten my reward!!!! If u like give ur tithe to beggars, I did not see that in my bible, I only saw give (out of ur own pocket not from tithe) to the needy and God will reward u buh that one is different from the Law of Tithing. OGA take ur own make I take my own, all man for himself. Make I dey here dey work my own salvation jejely

I'm not an oga, I'm a lady just like you.

Please, I'll need you to educate me in the meaning of the store house as used in Malachi.

Remember, the word of God is truth. And it says the Spirit will teach you all things. So, tell me what you feel in your spirit that store house of God means. Don't tell me what your Pastor says.

Being open minded helps you learn a lot, else, you'll get stuck at following man's theories only to discover you've been doing it all wrong when it's late.

supereagle:
Bible is clear on it: Bring all your tithes to your store house ( your local church )

How did you come to the conclusion about the meaning of the store house of God?
Please, educate me.

itsmeurLady:
Churches? U are spose to worship in just 1 particular church except u want to change church. U are confusing yourself the more if u decide to start attending two churches. Pay ur tithe to the church where u receive divine instructions as well as divine blessings. You are not paying ur tithe to the Man Of God, u are paying ur tithe to God.

Read the bible my friend, you'll see in the book of psalms 50: 9 down, you'll understand that God owns everything and he doesn't need your stuff for himself.

The tithe you put in your church is actually for the pastor, to service his needs and other projects at his discretion.

The only way to give to God is to give to your fellow brother or sister in need.

Yes, Jesus said somewhere in the bible that on that day, he'll reject the man that saw him hungry but didn't give him food, saw him naked but didn't cloth him and he was in prison but wasn't visited. What did the man say?

He said Lord, when did i see you hungry and didn't feed you, naked and didn't cloth you...
Jesus replied, whatever you do for my brothers, you do for me and whatever you didn't do for them, you didn't do for me.

We ignore the people that are helpless and in dire need only to service the need of a man that has got all going for him.

Read the bible people, and ask the Holy Spirit to give you understanding. He will.


Whenever you give to anyone, you'll surely receive the blessings attached to giving. Tithing has the same principle, but it's wisdom to tithe the right way.

Give where it's need and gonna make a huge difference to the receiver, that way you see the evidence of what you gave and you'll be happy in the end.

mykel25:
So far it's going to d church of God.... If u like split in 50 places.... God is omnipresent.... Buh most pastors won't advice this.... Remember God works with your mind.. N your mind says uve given d tithe to God sooooo

What is the church of God?
In case you don't know, you and i are the body of Christ. we are God's house/temple.

The house of God is not merely that building with a name where people gather, but the Christians.

If you're spirit filled, you're actually God's house. people prefer to give the 10% of their income to a man that already has more than enough(the pastor) than giving it to a house of God who needs it, which could be that beggar on the road, a student that doesn't have money to pay his fees, a sick person at the hospital who can't afford his bill or even that neighbor of yours whom you know is struggling.
That 10% can make a difference to a part of the body of Christ.

When the command in Malachi 10 was given, the spirit of God dwelt in the temple where only the priest was allowed to go in.
Sacrifices had to be made for atonement of the sins of both the priests and the other hence, people were commanded to bring 10% of their income to make these sacred duty possible.

The priests then were also levites whose inheritance were of the Lord, they were concentrated for God, so their need had to be taken care of from the 10% that their brothers brought into the temple.

Now, when Jesus died, that curtain was torn into two and we all had access to God.

The spirit was given freely to live in us, if the spirit resides in us, then we are God's temple and church. Your tithes are supposed to go to the temple of God where it is needed.

Look around you, there are thousands of God's temple in need of that 10% but we prefer to go give a man, one specific man that probably has more than us all in the name of tithing.

These are spiritual things, and only the spirit of God can expose to us if we're willing.

milloguy:
In Akwa Ibom, Godswil Akpabio is celebrated more than this woman. He has more police escort than this woman, he values his life more than this woman and the masses and political thots thinks he is their hero. In Nigeria we have totally lost our mind. Just an hour ago I saw people tweeting to officialEFCC begging for their job. I know somehow it's a joke but that goes to tell you the mind of an average Nigeria. They want to join EFCC so they can steal looted funds from stealing yam looters. Now what's the difference. I put it to anyone reading this, we have a long way to go as a country and religion and our stupid draw back culture is to blame. If this woman contests for Akwa Ibom governorship election with Akpabio she will loose because they will say she's evil because of her tattoos ...Naija I hail una!!

I've not seen someone that makes so much sense in a while. I'm really relieved,knowing some people still have their brains intact.

Many other hypocrites do not see anything wrong with Nigeria and the very pathetic thought process of an average Nigerian.

It's a pity

DaddyNick:
Lol... @perfecttouch Wow your story even inspired me more. I really want to face it all and get made already being inside of it than making it and bringing a woman into it.
I want to grow and be well established with a woman I will respect so much for how much she stood by me and helped me grow to achieve alot

I hope you'll keep procreation on hold so the innocent child doesn't partake in your adventure.
It will save you a lot of stress too.

All the best.

Maaamaaa:
please, can you help me with an estimate of the cost?

I really don't want to do this but for my sanity I have to.

It's like you guys just derive pleasure from rubbishing the marriage institution.
A few months ago you were advised and severely warned against that marriage but you went ahead with it anyway.

All suggestions to keep the marriage on hold at least until baby is born fell on deaf ears. Marriage is not something you walk in and out of at your convenience.
Carry your cross madam.

Dollykel:
I have been married for so many years but no issue. Now, I don't know how to react and behave around my wife. The truth is I'm fed up but I don't want to show it especially, I don't want her to know.

Any advice?

You've just wasted a lot of years. If you had even adopted, it wouldn't have been wasted after all.

I advise couples to seek medical advise if they fail to conceive after ONE year of actively trying regularly without the use of contraceptives. There may not really be a problem but just do it. It's better than waiting two, three, six years before taking a step.

Don't allow your wife's eggs to keep aging , save yourself the long years of stress, anguish and unnecessary spiritual battles.

It must really be overwhelming for you two.
What have you guys done so far about the situation?
You may not be as lucky as Sarah and Hannah. You may just need more than sitting down, praying, fasting and hoping.

A lot of couples have been blessed through assisted reproductive technology. Your miracle may also come through it.

A procedure that best suits your case and budget will be chosen for you and your bundles of joy may come sooner than you think.

Don't sit around feeling sorry for yourself. You've tried the churches i'm sure, now is the time to be proactive. You're the man and the leader of your home, use the internet and make your research on ART. Take your wife along with you to a fertility clinic, discuss with the Doctors, tests will be carried out and you'll be advised on the next step to take. Get the cost and plan towards it.

If you've tried ART, keep trying. Some people try a few times before finally succeeding, yet there's no giving up. There are lots of options available to you. Tell us what you've done so far apart from prayer and fasting.

You'll be a father soon, all the best.

brisvilla:
Pls how long does it take to get paid in loppersclub and which packages is the fastest. Thanks

Steer clear from these ponzis.
Visit their Twitter handle and see what's going on for yourself.

Don't waste your money on scammers.
Only a few lucky participants get paid on such schemes, they spread the word and gullible people join only to end up paying your hard earned money to their friends, family and gang members accounts.

Be wise!

chy4luv:
My sister said the same but it seems I can't keep quiet. Am not usually the type that keep quiet when on my month which is when all these arguments arrives.

You can, trust me.
If he starts with the arguments, channel that compulsion to talk back into a phone call or something . I'm sure you've got series of contacts saved on your phone that you don't get to call year in year out.
It's an opportunity to call one of those useless numbers and chit-chat.

If you don't do this, you're gonna hear him say something, you'll become defensive, try to counter and the cycle continues. Couples quarrel, but it becomes very unhealthy when you argue incessantly.

Walking away may be a good option but it's not easy when all you wanna do is talk. Just talk, but to someone else about something else.

Remember, a normal person cannot argue with himself, it takes two to tango. He'll give it up if you don't fuel it.

chy4luv:
These arguments are usually around my period. I suffer from pre menstrual syndrome. He knows that. I really dont wanna be on medication for that. don't look for my trouble two to one week before my period, I feel very irritable. My period came this morning. I came back to work this afternoon and told him. He said waoo and no arguments well done. That i don't take nonsense when I am on my period . Little did I know we will be quarrelling in less than 2 hrs.

Does this irritable mood also make you argue and fight with your Boss and colleagues at work?
If your answer to the question is a NO, then it means you got a way of keeping your sh.ts together when you're around other people. Apply the same coping mechanism at home and all will be fine.

If avoiding unnecessary convo. during that period will help, please do.
You can make this stop since you've discovered the underlying cause already.

Self Control is the key!

omenkaLives:
Good one. I hope they get the punishment they deserve for bringing the force to such dishonour.

My greatest surprise in the whole episode was that people stood by only to watch and take pictures and made no attempt to stop the men from doing what they were doing; yet the way these people sound on social media you'd think just a single one of them could take on an entire batallion of the Nigerian army.

Smh.

Like say you for fit stop those agberos in uniform if to say you dey there

They almost killed a man for wearing the same camo that's worn by any Tom and Harry here.

I pity the country.

bunmmy5:
Where is the building located, cos I know of one around idimu axis. The only error committed so far is that u informed the tenant that you have sold the house, it's quite wrong. My advise is to go through court process though might take long but sincerely is the best approach. Removing the roof can give additional problem if para venture a learned person stays in the house. They can use that as an advantage. A word is enough for the wise.

How can a learned person live in a rented apartment and not pay rent following an agreement?
I really don't understand.

lepasharon:
Lol chai only in Africa! You know they can actually sue and claim ur putting them in danger because how can you renovate a house while someone is still in it and bla bla

My dear, the country is lawless already.
If someone can refuse to (a) Pay his rent for God knows how long and (b) vacate a property after given a 6 months notice plus a 3 months grace period, don't you think the owner of the house is also permitted to do whatever she pleases with her property?

At the emboldened, the tenants have no business being in that property at the time of the renovation.

The land lady probably hired a quack lawyer who doesn't know the law.

After evicting them, I'll sue them first for breach of contract.

whizqueen:
The house has been ready for not less than 6 years now with various categories of tenants. Mom is really sad and decided to hand over to a caretaker, the caretaker suggested that all old tenant be sent


Now the issue is 6 months lapsed with 3 month on top of it. Meaning for going to 3 years for some tenants no pay and she hasn't gotten paid for 3 years

The caretaker and lawyer are very incompetent.
Quit notice time has elapsed. There's no need going to court. I repeat, there's no need 'cause she'll be wasting her time and limited resources.

If she really wants to get her property back, she should take a practical step.

Go there and get the roof removed. This will work 100%, writing from experience.

She owes no one an explanation after giving them enough tome to make necessary arrangements to vacate.

Get the roof off and the inconsiderate leeches will quit in 2 days max.

She shouldn't even tell the caretaker, 'cause he may be selling her out without her knowledge.
Let her bargain with a carpenter that'll take it off and re-fix it afterwards. By the time they're done un-roofing two of the flats, the occupants of the other flats will get the message loud and clear.

ckmayoca:
Is the protest for a day or everyday until APC improve?

This is a very good question.

ebonflexy:
Na for yankee she and I dey

She's not serious, she's probably a pre-clinical student in 3rd year.

Asides the responsibilities that come with being a woman, wife, mother and a doctor there's also the age factor that's not smiling at her at all 29, hahaha

I don't think you should discontinue your relationship with her based on this reason alone.

I'm 100% sure she hasn't done obs/gyne, that's one subject that'll reset her mentality. By the time she starts seeing and hearing "maternal age > 35" as a risk factor for most obstetric/ pregnancy complications over and over, she'll tell herself the truth.

For those of us that planned to keep marriage and childbearing on hold for a little longer, obstetrics& gyne advised us.

The truth is, at 29 and yet to complete med. school, only multiple pregnancies can do the trick.

Before you decide to participate, know that human life and rights are not valued in Nigeria.

Most of those military guys with free access to guns are unfit for the job. Bullets will be released at will.


Don't be a victim, you may not live to tell your story.

Believe me or not, the country is far gone.

It only needs palliative treatments just like a patient with stage iv cancer that has metastasized to other organs and tissues like the brain, lungs, liver, bones... What else do you wanna do?

Palliative care. The very bitter but glaring truth.

[quote author=Justdulla post=52960956][/quote]Now read my post again.
I was referring to sit tight presidents and not evil leaders.

Didn't say he was evil and i wrote that his citizens aren't complaining as far as i know.

When you quote, make sure you write something relevant to the quoted comment.

ritababe:
it doesn't matter, Botswana confirmed it already, ECOWAS and AU will confirm it too, so stop the crap about downgrading abeg.

Botswana of all countries that's like a family business? It's like a case of pot calling kettle black.

Their president has been in power for God knows how long and he took over from his father. His brothers and Uncles are the country's chiefs.

I'm sure if and when he decides to step down, another family member will continue from where he stopped.

The thing is, the citizens aren't complaining anyways.

Sikay19:
Either express or okada way . There is no booklet on ground to issue any passport for now. Even Nigerians in diaspora are complaining about this which means that[b] it is global problem[/b]. But my advise is to do it now because the passport charge will soon increase in price.

It's not a global problem. It takes less than 3hrs to get a Nigerian passport at the Nigerian Embassy where i reside.

You people should stop accepting abnormalities as normal.

If they have the resources to readily produce passports within 24hrs and call it express service, then i think the long waiting period is unnecessary and is only created by Nigerians against Nigerians for selfish gains.

You can only get a delay in the diaspora if there's a shortage in the materials for producing the passport or the equipment is faulty. And this does not happen often.

NOETHNICITY:
Did u jus brand Antiwailer unGodly and adviced him to sstand aside and watch pple lose their money?
What a marvellous advice that is!
While u watch idly by and do noting here u re criticising somebdy for taking it upon himself to vigorously enlighten inherently gullible Nigerians bent on sef destruction.
How am I sure u re nt one of the secrete agents of the fake ponzi scheme not happy about the online damage his campaign is causing the criminal scheme.
Pls Antiwailer, I plead with u in the name of God not to allow pple dissuade u frm from this Godly campaign.
U might not know how many souls u ve saved through ur enlightment.
I look forward to ur vigorous and relentless campaign against those online monsters prowling on idiotic and gullible Nigerians.

It's been one MMM news or the other on nairaland front page lately and one is forced to go through the comments. I noticed most, if not all threads were like a battle field.

Of all the comments i read, i chose to quote one person whom i reasoned would be sensible enough to make intelligent convo. and arguments. Quoting any other person would be like starting a fight with a pig that will end up dragging you to the mud, i have more important real life issues to proffer solutions to.

Antiwailer replied my quote, i read, said Ok and moved on. It's his right to do what he believes in and i can't dwell on that.

You see it as a campaign against scam, which i think should be done more gracefully to achieve it's original intent while i see it as meddling in other people's affair. A huge difference in our belief system and environmental influence.

In all, you choose what you do with your time. Whatever you guys are doing there is really not my business.

@ the emboldened, i'll let it slide.

AntiWailer:
U have mixed d whole thing up.

I am raising awareness for new victims that will fall in.

I dnt expect anybody who is already in to find any I say about it friendly.

Leave your preaching and face the reality without mixing things up.

U sit there and share good and dark heart.

Ok.
