Joshuasticlala!!!! We don win

Joshua is in control. Focus brother, till the end!

getukudo:
It hurts to see and hear these things. Most of these gangsters don't want to change, as most of these older gangsters use the new recruits for dirty jobs and drugs racketeering. For them its all about supremacy & turf control, just like the Italian mafia.

True that. They are now exporting their gangsterism and demons of death around the world.

It's why we cannot afford to sleep on this thread. We must keep watch and counter their brainwashing lest while men sleep evil men will plant tares to corrupt the good seeds sown here.

Gboliwe:
Nathaniel Bassey is a huge blessing to the church.

God bless him continually

Amen. I agree. Even his trumpet is anointed, chei!!!!

Please what was the hymn Nathaniel Bassey sang about the blood of Jesus or Christ defeating hell or something?

Modified: found it.

Natalie Grant :

"In Christ Alone"

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone! Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

whothiefmymoney:
maybe my choice of words is wrong but what I mean is that, many pple ain’t aware of it and it’s not publicized

I understand bro. Thanks for publicizing that news. The dangers of cultism are real and persistent. Let him who has ears hear.

whothiefmymoney:
I checked here, the crime section, instablog and all over the internet and I can’t find anything on the Cold War going on right now in Benin. No one is talking about it. From my count more than 9 persons gone already within two weeks. NBM is fighting a war on two fronts with Maphite and eiye. 3 days ago, 3 eiye boys were killed at ugbowo, yesterday at sokponba road 1 nbm member was killed and the retaliated killing 1 eiye guy. That’s by the side of several maphite members killed in bdpa Uniben. Yes it’s lowkey happening right now

If there is actual fighting and killing then it's not a cold war. A cold war is when there are only threats, propaganda, spying, socio-political pressures etc but no actual fighting or war.

I don't care what NK says or doesn't say. Anybody who has a heart and has seen the rot that is Abia State will applaud this judgment.


May T. A. Orji's turn come quickly too.

Ndi ara!

KarnBarlow:
I like doncic but as long as he stands in LeBrons way for his 5th MVP i am officially off his bandwagon until next season. From now on when i see Doncic, this is all i see. Not in the mood for rationality.

Funny guy!

Doncic is good though.

LadySarah:
Why are you copying my comment.
Onwo ele omewa gi?

Abiriba?

Ozigizaga ebenebe!

RIP Chris Hanen

You need to see a sex therapist ASAP.

You should have done that prior to getting married though. Save your marriage, go and see one now.

Sarmiz24:
U are an Efulefu, just an nkita furu Uzo...
This is the reason why i can't help any Nigerian, once u are down they will 4get all d good u have done for them....
...Bunch of Ingrate.. I wish southy should kill more of u people

So you rob and loot Peter and his children and spill their blood and use his wealth to set up big companies and employ Paul and his children and expect us to defend you when your sins find you out?

Guy, if you did that heinous crime, go and do the time on your day of reckoning.

And we wonder why this country is bedeviled with attrocities and all manner of evil.

We need to reinvent shame in this country.

Tufiakwa! Chukwu aju!

Nonsense.

MedicH:
Lol because when they do they tell you they've placed bet on a game. And normally u cant understand that for ever rule there's an exception. That paracetamol is the drug of choice for headache is only because it cured 95% of cases when tested. I am yet to see a soccer lover that doesn't bet.

Trash. Hogwash.

pocohantas:
Almost like you are already having a heart attack.

And that is exactly what your final moments will look like. A lot of struggle, but it just wouldn't help.

Sisterly, what's with all these morbidity? Are you sure you are okay?

Geminita1:
Those are the kind of people you poison very slowly. So much guts to post trash in pubic. If i posted that i would have gotten 500 mentions.

So much venom in such a beautiful body. So what makes you better than him now? Smh

cindybaby22:
Nigerians girls and pride
Try to watch approaching girls prank in USA on youtube and see how white girls react to such issues with extreme humility and sense of respect, even if they are not interested. Pride is the problem of the black!

Hi Cindybaby22. Just went through some of your posts and I must admit I like your personality. Can I pm you?

SmooshCHN:
Kyrie explicitly mentioned that he wanted to leave the Cavs and it wasn't because anyone asked him to. He left the Cavs for the same reason other superstars were avoiding to play with LeBron. Now everyone's acting like he wasn't part of why everyone remember the Cavs. Dude is injured so I don't get why anyone will take Kendrick Perkins word for shít. He still has good relationship with Tatum, Smart and the other guys but the media wants to enjoy the drama. Come playoffs, Kyrie could play at the Garden and drop 50 but let's just assume he would pretend to be injured. He admitted he could have done better as a teamma on the Celtics but that's about it. He no kill person.

Bro, no one can deny Kyrie's talent or his virtuoso contributions to the Cav's one ring. We can only pine and wonder what could have been if he had stayed.

The way it's going his Cav's days may be the defining pinnacle of his career and it's sad because I was rooting for him and saw greatness in his path. But alas!

Hope he goes mamba on us all and prove critics wrong.

birdman:
nothing you said is wrong. but you omitted stuff, perhaps you were not aware of it. Essentially no one could reach Kyrie in an y meaningful way after his decision - there were a bunch of uncles running point for him at that juncture. Even if the decision was his, he could have been talked out of it. But as SAS and others alluded, his camp felt it was his time. so my q again is, where are those folks.

I know lebron hate/love is an infectious thing, and people defend or destroy other players based on how they affect lebrons rep. this has nothing with trying to absolve lebron. this is a kyrie issue - where are the uncles and family that let him think this was a good idea. thats my own.


btw its not just kyrie. look at antonio brown, terrell owens. these guys had family members literally cheering them on as the career went down in flames. i find it a disturbing trend

There is a direction that seems so beautiful and right but the end is misery and utter regret. Oh if only we took the other route! How can we know such? How can we prevent such sabotage on glory?

Decisions determine destiny.

Wisdom brings more profit than oil and precious metals ever will.

Basketball is a teacher of life lessons.

Tundesam923:
the intangibles matter too...his body language, and his persona...just screams something off

Agree. How a franchise player affects team chemistry and bonding matters. Everything is not physical(skill/talent), mind and spirit matter too.

He will need to deal with his personal demons.

Let us incurably say no to cultism. It's evil and will eventually eat this nation for breakfast.

Read this thread and learn:

Let the revolution begin. Say No To Cultism.

Hamachi:
No, their temperament traits and what they saw their parents doing while growing up

I don't understand what you wrote. It seems to me you didn't understand the part of my post you highlighted too.

pamelaayomide:
This fool calling me names has been banned or maybe deactivated his account.
24kmagic you are next to do so.
Your partner has deactivated, you are next.
Calling me olosho and prostitute have make you guys made it in life abi.
Men sha,they are annoying to say the least.

Can you quit responding to all these dysfunctional guys? Why engage them? Don't get distracted. Focus!

ImaIma1:
Yeah. Some people become conscious of these limitations or flaws and break free while others become set in their ways. People need to be compromising in necessary situations and to understand that it doesn't mean letting go of what they believe in. Besides, marriage for me means working together and having each other's interests at heart.

Our birthdays were celebrated. It's my parents who never celebrated theirs. At first it felt strange when my friends had parties to celebrate their parents birthdays.

I agree. And yet sometimes the problem is that the programming is so deep and unconscious that they can't see they are wrong or that it is limiting their relationship or progress as a family. You can't change what you don't know or haven't diagnosed.

It's why I said that consciousness is key to making those changes. The ability to be open and willing to learn and get feedback from others is critical in these things.

If I were to counsel anyone intending to marry, it's the very first thing I will ask them to insist on when it comes to the must-have quality of their significant other. It's on my own must- have list.

ImaIma1:
To an extent it does, but it's not only our family upbringing that moulds us. Well except we were caged at home all our lives and didn't go out to see what the world was about.

I grew up in a home where we never celebrated my parents bdays. I didn't even know their birthdays but we the kids celebrate ours.

Even if we grow up in a setting where some things were not done, other external factors could change that.

We go to school, boarding or day, university, etc, we make friends and we see how things are done. We go to church, mosque and listen to teachings on relationship/marriage, attend marriage counseling before wedding (i don't know about Muslims)

So someone cannot come and say she doesn't know she's supposed to submit because her mother didn't submit or that he doesn't know he will provide for the family because his father didn't. It doesn't add up. It's mostly someone trying to turn a blind eye, shun responsibilities or duties and conveniently using upbringing as an excuse.

That is a personal flaw except the person was home schooled and locked up at home till it was time to get married.

Nne, the primary programmer of humans is their family upbringing. The other agents of socialization you mentioned matter too but are not as fundamental and far reaching as the family. Secondly, consciousness is a factor that helps certain individuals break free from many limiting beliefs and programs from their family.

Note: On your birthday example, sometimes the birthdays you are celebrating is because you want to rebel against a parent or the family, who never celebrates it. It's still your parents running you in this case even though you might feel it's you being independent.

And yes people can change too but it's not as easy as you are making it.

RTSC:
He would pay a fine.

There are far more insidious corruption happening everyday in wall street.

It does not help Nigeria in anyway if a visionary and a patriot like onyema goes down for such a flimsy nonsense.
And that is what I expect the FG to be pushing for right now to protect him.

It is possible that air peace will not survive without his leadership.

I understand where you are coming from bro but I don't belong to the robbing-Peter- to-pay-Paul-is-okay school of thought, no matter who Paul is or how many Pauls there are.

If he is guilty of the heinous allegations, let him be prosecuted and jailed. If he is innocent, may he be set free and may God compensate him for the wrongs done to his good name.

NwaAmaikpe:




Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivereth him from them all.
Surely, Allen will overcome.

He should not make the mistake of stepping down Because the same people who want him to step aside from his position in Air Peace until he clears his name did not ask their National leader to do the same to explain how he got the money he moved in Bullion Vans.

Back to the story.
Ibeto was the Cement company to beat, the banks came for him
Innoson became the face of Indigenous African vehicles, GTBank came for him. The court awarded the win to Innoson.
Capital Oil started making Oando and Forte Oil uncomfortable, AMCON came after him. The court once again awarded the win to Capital Oil.

Now, AirPeace is redefining the face of aviation in Nigeria and the US is now after him for laundering money.
Money that was duly transferred via the CBN to the Plane makers.
Unless I am irredeemably dumb or some hydraulic fluid is seeping out of my Cerebellum, this thing does not just add up to me.

So my questions are,
Is it now a sin to be a successful Igboman.
Is it a crime to rise against the odds of being Igbo and excel in business in the uneven Nigeria playing field?

How come things are put in place for others to excel no matter what while every known persecution trails others?

I'm not asking a lot,
I'm just saying that water has passed garri when the mosquito begins to suck breast milk meant for the baby instead of blood.

You are abusing the intelligence God gave you, bro. I am an Igbo man too but what you wrote up there is hogwash.

If his hands are clean let him be vindicated. If not, let him do the time.

For the other criminals may their time come quickly. And finally, may God expose and sanitize this nation of criminals and evil men and women.

tsmith:
From your narrative it's obvious you have been used and lied to right from the inception of your relationship. I won't question why and how you didn't know or if due diligence was taken. What's important is the way forward for you and your children.

For years you have given someone else the reigns of your life, in making decisions that may not necessary have your best interest at core nor carrying you along in this process. NOW IS THE TIME TO TAKE ALL THAT CONTROL BACK.

It'd be steep and rough, especially now saddled with 3 children, but it's not impossible and you sound like a smart and switched on person anyway. Get a job, means of income and have a VISION plus a strategy on how you want to achieve this.

Pls don't go finding him or calling him, peradventure he makes a reappearance, pls allow him (just for the sake of the kids) but ONLY ON YOUR TERMS. spell it out and let him know very clearly ACTIONS lead to CONSEQUENCES
with limited CHANCES. he flukes, it's STRIKE OUT. Just as with disciplining your kids, follow through on laid out rules. He sounds flaky and will test your waters several times, pls don't let him derail the NEW YOU.

I walked similar path, hubby wasn't even half as bad. Early years of my marriage i allowed hubby reigns of affairs from the african patriarchy POV, and playing the good wife. He's messy, a bit of a no planner and last minute.com. there were tough and expensive lessons learnt and to imagine these were things i managed just well before him.

I use the illustration, you're in a car being driving erratically by a driver, you all are going no where fast. You know it's only a matter of time, the ride was destined for doom, however you're a competent driver yourself, what do you do?

1) ask driver to park
2) you get down so you can live to see another day
3) you negotiate that the only way you're getting back into the car is if you're in the driver's seat, as you're assured you can do a better job of getting you all to your destination.

The choices were clear n non negotiable, hubby had no choice but to come on board as this girl was sure fixed and adamant. Now depending on who's area of strength the task is, the better person is driving and the other reading the map, but together we're in it. This is our approach now and it works well, we're 12 years and counting. 5years was the turning point when i filed for a divorce.

Mmmnhhhhh! May wisdom never finish from your head. I doff!

SmooshCHN:
LeBron dey play ball sha.

Say what?

KarnBarlow:
They're going for that number 1 pick. Shameless franchise

Ersan, wicked somebodi

steady986:
I think The Raptors without Kawhi would have stood a chance against GS without KD (and Klay for 1 and a half games)

Would they have beaten the Sixers and Bucks too? I don't think so.

Everyone agreed last season that Ujiri's DeRozan for Kawhi trade was the key masterpiece that won Raptors the championship.

It doesn't mean they weren't a good team before him or that he did it alone. It's just that they were not good enough and wouldn't have gone that far without him.

Let's not play convenient revisionism because we don't like a player or because time has passed and people have forgotten.

steady986:
You never can tell, after all, they faced depleted teams.

This your depleted teams narrative Not buying.

xwolverine:
The Raptors vs Lakers game will be mad entertaining. Watching the Raptors play this season has shown that they are a good team, Kawhi was just a bonus.

Montrezl Harrell vs Pascal Siakam, Landry Shamet vs Danny Green, Zubac vs Gasol, what about Fred VanVleet, Kyle Lowry and Serge Ibaka? Compared to the Clippers, that team is solid, they can afford to Load manage Kawhi. Even Carmelo Anthony would’ve made them win the chip

I do not agree. Kawhi has the it factor. A player can be very good and not have it. A team can be good and still be cut down in the playoffs when the chips are down if they don't have such a player. Without Kawhi or a Kawhiesque player Raptors wouldn't have won that championship.
