I read the news and decided to hold my peace but after a while I couldn't hold on any longer. I would like to respond to this this by quoting someone, with a little modification -

I have never been spoken ill of religion, but I believe in doing the right thing at the right time.

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast.
So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it.
While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology.
While we were praying, India went into ICT.
While we were praying, China went to massive industrialisation.
While we were shouting Allah Alakubah, UAE went into massive infrastructural development.
While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development.
While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens.
While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon.
After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour.
Since those that went into industrialisation, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc have been rewarded accordingly. It's only wise God rewards us with our efforts in prayers.
That's why today, Nigerian pastors are competing in building the biggest churches. That's why there are more prayer houses and worship places than hospitals and schools. That's why people rush to prayer houses for medical and business solutions instead of hospitals.
That's why we don't do business proposals before jumping into business since we are going to back it up with prayers. And when it collapse, we blame devil.
That's why it's a sin to say anything negative about pastors and imams.
That's why our pastors don't consider the opinion of engineers while building and blame devil when building collapse.
That's why faith in God replaces building pillars and when it collapse we blame it on Lucifer.
That's why our pastors are making sure they plant church branches instead of schools in every streets in Nigeria.
That's why we always wait for God to do that which ability to accomplish he has already handed over to us.
That's why we want our teachers to labour on earth and go to heaven for their rewards.
Nigeria is a prayer loving, God fearing nation. Religion has taken the place of technology, infrastructure, education and all.
When we are travelling, we ignore all the necessary road requirements, servicing of our vehicles and pray. And, once we pray, we can put a half fit vehicle on the road and blame our step mother or mother in law if anything goes wrong.
That's why there are more people dying on our roads.
Because, we pray and fast and leave everything to God when God has given us all we need to survive and build a nation.......

Collectively we have never done enough!

Sadly that's what gay men do, while hanging with the best of women out there to hide their tutti frutti true lifestyle

What about the current girlfriend that is pregnant?
Surrogate too?

lai muhammadu once said same thing but they all forgot the platform that brought them where they are.
They are quick to employ Obama campaign team but never gave thought abouts ripple effects.
the gods of Ogun,ogbomosho,Oyo,ilesha,sango,ilorin,ijebu, and ikere ekiti will not relent in giving them a treat of their treachery

You are a comedienne!

StrawberryGloss:
You must respect yourself first and foremost if you want somebody else to respect you back. What she is doing is a lack of respect. You need to think that the reason for doing that is that she is lacking attention from you, or yours isn’t enough.

Flirting is a symptom of future cheating. Think about it, if you were married.. would you want the mother of your children doing that? Would you be okay with that? It is all about perspective and putting yourself in the shoes of your future self.

Think ahead. A woman needs a man. Be a man. Take charge. Sit her down, confront her and tell her to stop or it’s over.

He doesn't necessarily need to threaten her with quitting the relationship, he should sit her down and have a thorough chat with. Whichever way he can, he needs to get her bare her mind on the future of their relationship.
Knowing when to call it a day is another option on the cards.

With due respect, can you kindly go back to the sleep you woke up from.

Sainttops:
Before going to bed, I had to eat something. I
opened the fridge and yes, all the things in my
fridge had turned to block; the light had been on for 8 years without going off. I finished eating and went to bed. Oh I have to reduce the speed of this fan, the voltage is so high. I woke up very early in the morning to the sound of classical music. I casually strolled into
the bathroom. Oh! the cold is too much this morning, I turned on the hot-water tap. While towelling myself dry, I turned on the radio and heard the presenter speaking of how Nigeria is now one of the most developed countries in the world and how the Nigerian president
yesterday declared his asset and all he had to boast of was N20 million naira and a duplex in his village. I finished dressing up and took my time to eat. I had no reason to rush, after all the road is always free and there are no potholes. On the way, I saw a few policemen patrolling and I greeted them. I stopped to chat with them for a few minutes about security after which I drove off laughing. In my workplace, I saw some people loitering in the waiting room and discovered they were here to be interviewed. I saw the son of the permanent secretary. I also saw a young man with tattered shoes and patched-up trouser; he graduated recently from one of the government universities, but everyone could testify to the fact that he's brilliant. While going home that day, I saw the man with the tattered shoes smiling and I asked him why.
"Sir, I've been given the job." "What! What of the
Permanent secretary's son, didn't his father call
beforehand?" "No" the man said, "He didn't" That evening, I went out to play in the neighborhood, I saw Adamu and Obinna discussing the recent trend in the country, of how Mallam Danjuma is now the governor of Rivers state, Senator Abifarin Oluwafemi is now the governor in Borno state, Mr Chijioke Godffrey is now the governor of Oyo state. No Godfatherism cause politics is now the most pure game ever with clear instructions. No Boko Boys, No Militant, No Tribalism, No religion war, No favorism, No intimidation, No Robbery, No More Evans like (Adultnap), The talk Niger Delta and Biafra are mere chat at bear parlour and history class. Then I had a Mosquito bite on my nose as I slap the spot, I realised it was a dream. Abeg, give me paracetamol.
But nevertheless this can be achieved if only we can stop what's dividing us and be unite beyond our diversity. Let's be tolerance and brothers keeper. What doesn't kill us should make us stronger and tactical.

Success has many relatives!

CEOJAMIENAIJA:
World Boxing Heavyweight Champion Anthony Joshua is to visit Nigeria on a three-day tour in August.

The tour is being organized by the Director of Peel Aston Global, Khomeini Bukhari, who explained that the boxing champion would attend a charity boxing match, Inspire Nigeria 2017.

The British-Nigerian boxer will also visit the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo in Abuja, and the governors of Lagos and Ogun states.

He will also visit some royal fathers, including the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, and the Awujale of Ijebuland, Oba Sikiru Kayode Adetona, Khomeini Bukhari said. “This event is part of his (Joshua’s) social corporate responsibility and duty to give back to Nigeria, where he is the son of the soil. Part of the tour will be to visit the Presidency, some state governors, as well as pay his respect to royal fathers,” he said.

Bukhari also explained that the charity boxing match will hold at the Eko Hotel Lagos and the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja where he would take questions from the audience.

Bukhari, in an emailed statement on Wednesday, said arrangements had been concluded for the boxing champion’s homecoming.

He explained that the Inspire Nigeria 2017 is a platform for Joshua to encourage Nigerian youths that their dreams and aspirations are achievable and that there is hope for them.

Everyday one hears one stupefying lie or the other, stories just to appear relevant. Even if that money is handed out to them, it will still go down the normal route.
We are tired of being taken for granted.

naijafresh:
Regarding genotype selection you're mistaken.

You can select the genotype of your embryo during IVF. It's through a process called PGD or prenatal genetic diagnosis.
It's expensive and I'm not sure if it's available in Nigeria just yet.
The process involves checking the genotype of the embryo prior to implantation.
So there is hope for AS or SS couples who wish to avoid the possibility of an SS child.

You both are saying the same thing. If the embryo is SS, it will be discarded, which is still abortion any way you look at it.
How long is the process going to take before the desired result is achieved?

This is why I like the guys in Onitsha, they pursue their businesses, afterwards come back to get the certificate through NOUN or part-time program as back up.

TRAY2:
My question is How do some people still survive?

If you begin to analyse how we kept going despite all this, you may never understand it.
some people might term it resilient attitude of Nigerians,
But I definitely know that God has been our sustenance.

I just love this man's sense of humour.
He never disappoints.

What did this one smoke?

GeneralOjukwu:
Like & Share this if you want to be a millionaire at the end of the recession, AMEN

My SE brothers & sons,

1. Why are we so afraid of a particular group that deals with us ruthlessly? I kept hearing “Afonja”, has PMB who jailed N.Kanu changed his tribe? Are we scared to face our true oppressors?

2. Why do we register on Nairaland, use Globacom, use Afonja banks & listen to their music? Are we not making them richer?

3. FFK, Dino, Saraki & Fayose, all Afonja have become our leaders.

4. Only FFK & Fayose had the balls to go to court and support Nnamdi. ALL OUR PEOPLE WERE HIDING.

5. Even me before departing, I contested in Nigeria and I lost in my own LGA.

Let us apologize and thank Fajuyi for sacrificing himself for Ironsi, Soyinka for going to jail and Yoruba men for developing our Nkems e.g FFK


Youths unite! One Nigeria….

NOTE: FFK welldone ooo, you got contract to tar road, you turned Bianca Express to dual carriage.

They cut short his treatment abroad and brought him home just to keep a stranglehold on power,
But what do they have in the end ?
A vegetable wilting away.

Sometimes I can't help but wonder what our politicians take us for!
How could someone rub it on our faces us that he cleared grass for a whooping N250 million.
Was he clearing sambisa forest?
This is an insult to our collective intellect.
