I'm deeply grateful to God for the miracle of our sobriety. I'm grateful for the Hand the brought you to me before I even knew I needed company for the road. As you know, I wouldn't have gotten this far without you. Grateful that my head will be hitting my pillow sober one more time. My heart is full ❣️
Lovelink1991: A regretting single mother has threatened to laid curse on her daughter for disobeying her order in the house.
According to the mother who told the daughter that she knows that she never requested that she should be born so that will not give her the right to disobey her orders.
franchasng: Zero impact on the lives of everyday Nigerians.
Imagine Nigeria earned more money through selling crude oil and mining our natural mineral resources since Tinubu resumed as President yet poverty and hunger persist in Nigeria, Tinubu just have to go mhen
What do you mean zero impact? Are you not feeling the bite of your collapsed purchasing power? What happened to negative impact on well-being and livelihood?
Ibas3454: Our Nigeria university design should copy....
No freaking way!! 🙅🏿♂️🙅🏿♂️👎🏿
My alma mater sits on a massive, sprawling 7,000-hectare empire. Why on earth should we copy a cramped-up, concrete-jungle prison?
Oga no be by stacking buildings oo, e get as book go knock you off balance reach, you go wan stroll reach dam side or drama village, or even botanical garden just to walk the stress off and sit with nature.
Kalulu44: Good morning ladies and gentlemoi-moi of the great NL house. The picture of the house/apartment I posted is located in Igbesa area of Ogun state and has 1,2,3 bedroom apartments. This area is predominantly dominated by 50% students, 30% Chinese workers who are predominantly casual workers and not staffs or senior staffs. The rest 20% are family men and women, artisans and apprentices. . The starting price of the 1 bedroom apartment is 650k, meaning the 2 and 3 bed will be higher. And I can bet with anything that before the end of July it will be fully occupied. Now I want to ask you guys, who do you think the owner of this property is targeting as tenants? 1. The students 2. The Chinese workers 3. The families and artisan and labor workers Or The pressers and scammers who are predominantly in number 1 and somehow in number 2 and I can't say of number 3. . As for me, I am not going to sugar coat it. 90% of those who will rent that apartments are majorly students who are agba pickers "Yahoo guys" and the 10% will be students and normal guys from rich homes. What say you, lets have your say?
naptu2: Ilebaye Odinniya is the winner of Big Brother Season 8 (2023).
According to a friend of Ilebaye, "Ilebaye’s mother had allegedly left her husband in 2024 because of domestic violence, and there is now a new wife in the house.
When she was leaving, she only left with her female children, because her husband took custody of the boys.
Ilebaye heard her brothers weren’t well taken care of so she went to her father’s house yesterday to see them, and that was when her father started beating her up".
According to someone close to Ilebaye, police officers are currently at Ilebaye’s location, but her father has refused to open his gate to them.
Ilebaye’s mother had allegedly left her husband in 2024 because of domestic violence, and there is now a new wife in the house.
Ilebaye’s dad is now sharing his side of the story 💔
• According to Ilebaye’s father, he revealed that when Ilebaye auditioned for the Big Brother Naija house, he supported her and when she went into the house the second time, himself and his friend supported her as she was up for eviction every week.
• He revealed that after she won the Big Brother Naija All Stars season, she grew distant and refused to reach out to him.
• He said he called her countless times and has been trying to see her more than 6 times so himself and Ilebaye can go to the people who supported her and appreciate them.
• He also asked Ilebaye to take some of the money she got and help the less privileged, but Ilebaye refused to listen to him.
• He said the hotel Ilebaye has been posting online as her own belongs to him and he has been really angry about the type of lifestyle she’s living. He feels she’s going on a self-destructive path.
• He condemned Ilebaye for doing face reconstruction with fillers and getting a BBL. He expressed his disappointment, saying she’s too young for that.
• He said there were times she would have misunderstandings with her mom and he would be the one trying to make peace between them, but Ilebaye never regarded him as a father.
• He revealed that when he scolded her, instead of being scared or showing remorse, Ilebaye would charge towards him and hit him.
• He accused her of hitting him twice without him saying anything because he loved her so much and she means a lot to him because she’s his favorite child.
• He addressed the viral video, saying he hit her out of provocation to scold her because she was disrespectful to him and wouldn’t regard him with respect.
• He said Ilebaye has not been nice to him financially, as he revealed that he’s battling high blood pressure. He had a medical check-up in Dubai and called Ilebaye to please help him with some funds, promising to refund her when he returned.
• Ilebaye told him she didn’t have money, but to his surprise, he saw her video circulating online where she was spraying bundles of naira at Cross wedding.
• He also addressed the mother situation, saying she’s always running away from the house and sometimes it would take her 8 months to come back, and that would only happen after the intervention of pastors.
• He said he discussed his displeasure with Ilebaye and Ilebaye supported him in divorcing her mother, only for him to divorce her and Ilebaye to fight him over it.
• He pleaded with Nigerians to forgive him and Ilebaye as they would like to resolve the family issues offline. He said he was arrested for hitting her, but it has been settled and the police have invited him again.
“Ilebaye will hit me anytime I try to talk to her. I asked her to lend me money for my medical check-up in Dubai and she refused but she was spraying money at Cross wedding. I hit her out of provocation to scold her because I can’t watch her destroy her life”
My thoughts? Lemme be a Nigerian and answer questions with questions.
Which of the points above justifies giving someone you claim to love so much the kind of panel-beating he gave her?
How does his action help to rectify any of the issues he listed?
E get one age wey your pikin go reach all you can do is advise and pray for them. They're their own people and they're mature enough to bare the full consequences of their actions. It's not easy, it's painful to watch someone you love go astray but but violence is never the solution.
shumuel: Oga, those women are mothers they know why they asked the questions
Oga that's disrespectful. Will they have asked these questions to an average 30 year old man? What has their being mothers got to do with anything? Did he tell you that he's not a father?

Bro is very patient tho. Can't imagine being disrespected like that and still smiling. Maybe he's used to it. Asking him how old he is as if he's a child, then even laughing "how possible" madam respect yourself! Very annoying set of human beings
Hard to believe I grew up watching these charlatans... It feels like a lifetime ago now. Business continues to the next generation of Lambs. Or will Doug Weiss steal it away?
ANCHOR (THULASIZWE): Tell us about the new ambassador that is being sent to South Africa. Perhaps there is a pathway to heightened diplomatic engagement, if you look at the meeting that happened in Nigeria and now we're hearing of a delegation coming, as well as what you are about to tell us about a new ambassador that is being sent to South Africa.
CORRESPONDENT (SOPHIE): Yes, both countries are working very hard to try and find a solution, because both countries need each other... And now today we saw breaking news in the afternoon. At the moment, there's no high commissioner of Nigeria in Pretoria. There's an acting high commissioner, as you saw him now.
There's an announcement that the permanent or Ambassador designate, or High Commissioner designate, is coming now, and he did post on social media, quite promising comments where he expressed the view that he was supposed to be posted in Germany, but he chose to come to South Africa, and requested that he rather come to South Africa because he feels that he supports South Africa's international position, particularly on multilateralism and other issues. And therefore, in terms of his convictions and beliefs, it sounds like he's a good politician. He feels this country is a shining example at the global stage, and he resonates with the positions of South Africa at global level, resonates with his conviction and his belief, and therefore that was promising.
Even though there are kind of disturbing comments from the new Minister of Foreign Affairs who was appointed on Friday when she talks about the telephone conversation with our Minister of international relations. There were some words used in the statement that are disturbing where she talks about judicial killings, and it is almost similar to President Donald Trump's language as it relates to the Afrikaners, because there's no judicial killings in South Africa. It's this rising tension that leads to conflict and violence and criminality also coming in opportunistic stand off, because it's election year, and therefore it's a complex matter. And therefore I think South Africa would also feel aggrieved with the use of "judicial killings".
THULASIZWE: Sophie to quote, and I have that tweet by the ambassador designate to South Africa, Femi Fani Kayode, who was meant, as you say, to have been deployed to Germany, but actually made representations to President Bola Tinubu to say, please send me to South Africa. And he says, quote, "I also express the fact that I would rather serve in a country that shares some of my convictions, beliefs and values when it comes to world affairs, that is the biggest economy in Africa, that has closer ties to Nigeria and that is more proximate to my political thinking when it comes to foreign affairs and a Pan African vision. End quote."
Sophie is good at her job, no doubt, but even she can't explain away how vile ordinary South Africans are. The countries whose citizens you're mobbing are your biggest trading partners on the continent. If they come together and decide to punish you for your xenophobic activities, the opportunities you're envying their citizens for will disappear from your own country.
As for FFK, forget the flowery words about alignment, his fallout with his host is inevitable.
MaxInDHouse: Of course you can't imprison anyone who disagrees with your political party but then EXCOMMUNICATING such a person will prevent a lot of confusion in the party.
Today the population of the world is about 10,000,000,000 inhabitants but Jehovah's Witnesses globally are not up to 9,000,000 which means if anyone is ostracized or excommunicated in that organization he or she still have over 9,000,000,000 people to replace JWs. The ratio is 1000+ against 1 so what is the reason why they can't forget about JWs if truthfully they have meaningful ideas that could work elsewhere?
The truth is they have taken peace of mind as something they can opt for as in want whereas to JWs peace of mind is a need something we can't trade for anything.
You can't eat your cake and have it the best thing to do is choose between eating your cake and having it.
Meanwhile the guy coming here to malign God's organization can you ask him a simple question?
Since he was a JW and he has left the organization has he found peace in any other religious group?
Your thread is about how religions chokes peace in our society but here is a religion that stands out differently so if anyone feels he still disagree with the organization let them go and find peace elsewhere!🙂
MaxInDHouse: I won't use the Bible to answer your questions because it's obvious you don't believe our book so let's reason intelligently.
Imagine a society harming themselves but a small group began learning how they can stop the bad habit whoever joins them already knew what to stop doing and that's how the group keeps getting members after teaching them how to avoid getting into trouble. Please how would you treat someone who has learned so much, vowed to stop hurting himself and others but later chose to go back to his old lifestyle where they are hurting themselves and others?
I will say such a person should be quarantined so as not to infect others which means cutting off closeness with him or her since he or she already knew the implications but chose to endanger his life and others close to him!
What do you say?🙂
How did you reach the conclusion that I don't believe your book? How is that obvious? You're right tho. I think these books (sometimes) have nice stories that teach important lessons but that's about it.
Your analogy is not entirely wrong, it is what we do to criminals in society by putting them in prisons. But you don't go imprisoning anyone that disagrees with your political party, do you? Difference of opinion is not a crime. Classifying everyone that changes their mind and disagrees with your religion as "hurting themselves and others" is outrageous!
Our ability to change our minds is essential to individual and human progress. Hasn't your religion also changed its mind about certain things as it evolved? Children who grow up within the system, get fed these beliefs—indoctrination is not uniquely JW—should be free to question their beliefs and when it doesn't add up, change or drop it altogether.
This is normal for a healthy mind. Dropping their faith doesn't automatically make them bad people. Or are you saying we're all evil people because we don't believe what you believe?
That said, I think ostracism is religion's immune system. It uses it to protect itself from falling apart from within. Without it, or the fear of it, your halls could go empty. 😛
Double0h7: What is a food that you thought you hated and now you absolutely love?
For me, it is masa.
it's a popular food in Northern Nigeria. People often eat it during celebrations.
When I was five years old, I ate masa at Christmas. After that, I became very sick with a high fever. As a child, I thought masa made me sick, so I avoided it for a long time.
Now, I love masa. I eat it as a special treat.
Another one is beans.
As a child I hated beans in every form—porridge oo, akara, moimoi, I no dey like anything wey get beans, even when beans is mixed rice I dey pick am out. Today the story is the opposite.
MaxInDHouse: Ironically it's Christianity but Satan has established false religion and multiplied them in thousands so that if care is not taken you can't identify true Christianity where tens of thousands of sects are all claiming Christians with their contradicting teachings and conflicting doctrines. Matthew 13:25
But the true God allowed Satan and his human agents to play around for centuries until He sent His holy spirit to separate faithful people throughout the world and gather them in a group {Matthew 13:30} so when they are all hinging to that group name (CHRISTIANS) which they have defamed with their atrocities the true God began calling His own worshipers by another group name: JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES! Isaiah 65:15
See what many people including atheists are saying about the true Christian group:
Matthew 5:14-16🙂
Wow! I like how you've collected testimonials across time and accounts. You're a good salesman 😜 but seriously your evangelism game is strong. I use to stop at your magazine stands to interact with your members that year, it seems everything has disappeared. I can't remember the last time I've seen a JW!
I sha appreciate how respectful y'all are. Religious groups in Nigeria that are like that can be counted on one hand. From the ones that'll block road on Fridays to the ones that'll keep people up with vigil. They preach "love thy neighbour" with their lips but their hearts are full of ignorance, pride and hatred.
Is it true that you run your religion like a cult? There's massive internal pressure to conform, ostracizing nonconformists, plus to leave na war.
