oga 80%of your people that fly makes use of Air peace, So chill.

Yes that's the only efficient airline in Nigeria.
Sometimes I ask whether truly it is owned by a Nigerian. There services are excellent top notch. Keep to time. There booking perfect. There flights cool. They have the highest number of passengers. If you are at the airport, it is only there flight that pulls crowd.
Honestly the guy has truly tried big time

How you will go to rob in another country still baffles me. It is stupidity, evil and wickedness.
I pray UAE should give them life sentence

This was how they did till Singapore that was visa free with Nigeria, now to even get the visa very hard.

Crimes does not pay in any way

As for those calling Biafrans, if there was ever a country like that, any offensive/corruption crime should be death penalty. That way the bad eggs will think twice.

If Nigerian government is serious they should make all these crimes including corruption death penalty or life imprisonment.

This is getting ridiculous.

I want to have u know women are very emotional beings... They crave affection like every human craves oxygen... Hence, when a man shows constant, unfailingly love and attention to his woman, she naturally falls for him... its a simple hypothesis... A woman who loves her man more than the way he loves her would only be a slave to the man... That's cause men don't crave affection like women... We crave respect instead... Most of our mothers never had one single feelings for our dads before marriage... But when they entered marriage and received overflowing love from their husbands, that affection naturally came... Ask mature women, they would confirm this hypothesis

You are quoting our mothers
Does the present breed of women we have today share any resemblance with our mothers?
See the world has changed so much from our mothers them time.
And one has to go with the flow in a wise way
I believe in every relationship
Man and woman have their duties
And the success of the Union boils down to how each party plays there part well.

ityP:
Lol... It's the truth whether u like it or not... Even the Bible designate the man to LOVE HIS WIFE and the woman to RESPECT HER HUSBAND. It doesn't mean that the man shouldn't respect his wife or the wife shouldn't love her husband, it just means the husband's love should overshadow the wife's and the wife's respect should supercede her husband's... Its as simply as that... If a woman loves a man more than he does her, that relationship just can't work...

This your argument doesn't hold water.
The reason why we have so many stories of men going through agony in there marriages is because they had this your type of mindset. I have tasted to sides of the coin, and I can tell you that going after a woman I had more likeness for was the most time wasting thing
I ever did.

Woman that is crazy for you will do the unimaginable for you, that you will be asking yourself, why was I wasting my time before.
Even the Bible you are quoting God told Eve that 1 she will bear children in pain
2 her desire will be to her husband

And that is the way it is

truthsayer009:
Honestly this was Spot-on. I can't stress enough of Nigerian women doing this particular thing, I know ladies who have sex with the Men they are really in love with even during Marriage counseling of the Main spouse, I know a lady who had sex just 2 days before her wedding to the guy she really loved as well. As the guy they love isn't ready to settle down yet & time is ticking.

This marriage pressure is real & a lot of ladies are shamed for it. [b]Once you hit 30, [/b]the shaming has started. Men, Society, friends etc
Even your parents are not left out, every single thing you spoil in the house, they will remind you that If you were Married now, this thing wouldn't have spoilt in your hand.

Then men should avoid them to escape scamming

PrimadonnaO:
That was what she kept telling herself... giving her self all the reasons why you were okay for a husband. But it unfortunately didn't make her love you.

Once, I had a guy who so much wanted us to be an item... he was thinking marriage. He was super cute, all the pastors loved him, obsessively clean and neat, had a wonderful dress sense, was a good dancer, a show stealer, infact. But I couldn't love him. I refused to date him because I knew I wouldn't feel proud having him as a boyfriend. He didn't exude the kind of charisma/confidence I wanted in a man... he was unambitious (there was a time he said if he got a job that paid 60k monthly, he'd be fine. I was cold to my bones the day he said that)... he wasn't intellectual for my liking.

Ordinarily, people didn't see why I couldn't be with him... but he wasn't what I wanted... couldn't explain it to anyone because it would begin to affect how others saw him.

For some reason, you don't match up to your wife's standards (of what her man should be). She doesn't love you. Maybe in the course of time, things would change. But for now, she can't have the world see that she got a "not-so-good" deal. I'm also thinking that you're nothing like her exes. She can't stand the thought that if they were to see who she ended up with, they'd gloat.

Imagine the likeness
Men be very careful
Don't go put hand into one nonsense in the name of marriage
This really got me angry
That's the danger of marrying women in there 30s, the disadvantages are so much

Let me tell you the truth.
Most of the successful men you read about, had exactly the same type of life like yours.
Some were said that they would not amount to anything, but they beat the odds.

The greater the shame the sweeter the glory.

Don't you ever give up
Find ways and leave your parents house
In fact if I were you
Leave Lagos if it possible for you
That city is completely choked up.

There are wonderful cities you can dwell in Nigeria, and still make it better with a peace of mind.
Most importantly get close to God
Be prayerful, learn how to develop personal relationship with God. Because it is only God that lifts someone up

Be strong bro
It will get better with time

God don suffer for we humans

This is ALU

Abomination desolate

Chaii

femi4:
She is not crazy about you.

I always tell men, marry the woman that loves you and not the one that you love.
You are more like the available option for her cos age wasn't on her side.
I would have said that the love will grow but there was no mutual love in the first place

She married you out of societal pressure, you are nothing close to her Dream man.

But there is hope, you can use reverse psychology to put her on her toes.

You got it spot on. She doesn't love the guy.
And like you said, men should marry women crazy and madly in love with them.

I was like this mans wife. There was a girl I was madly and crazily in love with then. She was very good looking body wise. But I lost my business and millions in the process due to a very bad investment. This girl no want do again. She broke off. I was really sad.
In fact after that, a part of me died.
After sometime came along another woman.
But this one I didn't really feel her.
But this girl was giving me attention, she was crazy about me.

That was when it dawned on me that man should marry women crazy and madly in love with them. She will do things to make you happy,
All the issue of wife not allowing the husband to touch her won't arise. She will even oversupply the goods.

My cousin also had the same issue. He broke up with the good looking girl he was supposed to marry. The woman he married now too like am very well. Add to that, the guy is doing extremely well, has a manufacturing plant with his products daily used all over the country. I was with them recently and the wife was telling me she is crazy about the husband, although the Husband to dey do strong head, and I was saying in my mind, that's the way it is meant to be for men.

As a guy don't ever do anything with woman wey no like you. That's the ops problem.

desiredhome:
Are you saying unbelievers don't get same grace?
what about those members who have life challenges though they've been paying tithe and are even more committed_to Church activities?
Do you know that if the tithes and every cash the Church makes are used for the right purpose, the society will be better than it is today?

In the issue of finances, the best way is to rely and trust in God. Trusting in God in your finances comes by honouring God with 10 percent if your earnings and giving.

Even some unbelievers don't play with giving too.

It is more blessed to give than to receive.

The hand of the giver is at the top.

Even men like Bill Gates, Warren buffet, zuckberg have given so much away. You may nor call there own tithing, but it is still giving.
Even dangote gives billions away annually.

No man that has ever succeeded goes about being stingy. It is the have nots that are stingy and teaching people to be like them. Simple

Olumyco:
God bless you my brother. This is the pure truth.
There was man too whom his wife was in labour and finding it difficult to give birth. The husband was asked if he pays Tithe? The man was owing God and not until he went to pay his Tithe before his wife delivered.

Tithe is real. Malachi placed a curse on whoever fails to pay Tithe and offering

That's why I shake my head on all these oversabi quoting Bible left right.
Anyone calling himself a Christian but doesn't give. Pay tithe will keep on toiling and struggling financially.

I am talking of sweat less success.
We as Christians are not called to toil for money.
But many toil because of there attitude to kingdom giving.

Too much oversabi knowledge is killing this generation.

The Bible say it is more blessed to give than to receive. This particular teaching wanted to confuse me for sometime. My spirit became cold in giving. But my finances became tight.

It dawned on me that it was when I stopped giving.

Now I don't play with paying my tithe, my one tenth, giving in church and helping people in financial needs.

My finances started flowing easily again without stress. I don't stress in making money.



God is the greatest giver John 3 vs 16

Christians have no option but to give if they want to prosper without toiling.

Jesus told us that we are not the same thing with the unbelievers and heathens. Mathew 6 vs 32.
They toil, stress themselves, kill, maim, defraud to get money.
Our perspective is different.
We are not to break our head for money.
And the only way is being connected to kingdom economics, which is giving, tithing, giving to people in need.

If you as a Christian wants to be insulated from economic hardship and toiling, pay your tithe.

Don't listen to all these guys quoting scriptures left and right.

Check your financial level when you give and when you withhold, and you will see the result.

I even wonder how someone that sang for God in Church will start singing worldly.
I never knew she started from Church. Although it showed in her voice.

Moreover Nigerian secular music is total crap, no meaning. At least a lot of foreign secular musicians have inspiration, meaning when you listen to them, but Nigeria's own secular is absolute crap and lifeless. No meaning, no inspiration, that's why maximum 6 months, the song will not have market value again

StOla:
You are right with your 2nd point.

If Buhari is unable to solve the problem of local refining in 8years, despite have 4 refineries that are ever under repairs, he would be no less a failure than Jonathan.

When Allison Diezani was asked about the status of the refineries during the period of the subsidy removal protests and subsidy payment investigations, she said and I quote "it is not in the interest of the government to operate oil refineries".

That was when I realised that we have inglorious bastards as the leaders of Nigeria.

Is it a crime for a government to allow its own people enjoy the benefits of a resource that is readily available?

If we are already borrowing funds from foreign partners, can't we borrow funds to build refineries that is not as cumbersome and expensive as building a space station?

Can't the federal government run a refinery that can survive on the profits of the sales of the crude oil derivatives, and use same profits to pay off the loan, yet the pump price of such derivatives would still be cheaper than importation?

Why are we stuck with clueless vagabonds in power?

The main issue is that government has no business building refinery, coupled with high level of corruption in the system. The ones they have before, how has it been managed

Governments real job is note of creating the enabling environment and regulation of the sectors. Obasanjo still remains our best economic focused President, take for instance what he did with telecommunications sector, deregulated it, while putting NCC as regulators. The result, billions of dollars of investment and millions of job created in that sector.

Deregulation is the key
Dangote is already finishing up his refinery
Other private investors will also come in
What the government should do is create the enabling environment and regulatory capacity.
Millions of job will be created.

Likewise same template for power sector

Although like you rightly said, we are bedeviled with bad leadership. Nigeria has no reason being an underdeveloped economy. The fundamentals are so right for a sound economy but our challenge is bad, vision less, non critical thinking leadership that is just lusting after small change dropping now instead of having a robust economy that will better every Nigerian.

petersfleming:
Sir, the final appellate court for governorship tribunal is Supreme Court, not court of appeals. The constitution and judicial precedent is very clear on this.

That is a big lie

Oshiomole

All got there mandate back from appeal court not supreme court

MyVILLAGEpeople:
The journey of life. His journey on earth has come to an end. From the day a child is born into this world, he or she is heading straight to the grave. Riches is vanity and poverty is vanity too. Infact everything is vanity. Sometimes I ask myself what is the reason behind human existence??

people with worldly wealth experience. Honestly it will dawn on you that your billions, properties, put together cannot equate with the breadth of life in your nostrils.
The only useful thing with wealth is this; if God has given you wealth or power, use it to touch lives of people. But if not, going to the great beyond with heavy burden of such wasted wealth is a terrible ordeal. I don't envy dangote or buhari at all.

lagos is a rough place....i grew up here....i tell you,its not easy....
and lagos goverment is not fast enough to accomodate so many people....
not enough money....

lagos should be dicongestet....
am already planning to move to ibadan....

Thank God I have left that city for good
Very rough place
And it is not that you enjoy easy cool life there
Even the money, there are many better places you can make money while enjoying cool life
So I wonder the attraction for that place

Thank God I have left that city for good.
I wonder the attraction for that place.
Horrible hold up!!
If not for the International Airport, if there is a way to totally avoid that city, I will be glad

It is not a must it must be Lagos
There are many wonderful cities in Nigeria igbo's can live
Lagos is overhyped
You can even make better money in other places, and in addition enjoy easier life. Not unnecessary hold up and overpopulated town. so why the fixation with that place self

Honestly Igbo's need to wise up fast fast

My own take is wherever you find yourself learn to live and adapt there. There are many living in developed foreign country who are not better off than those living in Nigeria. And this has nothing to do with connections, I mean just ordinary hardworking people.

The real truth we must understand is that life ain't easy anywhere, be it US, Canada, Europe etc.

Normally anytime I travel to Abuja I fly, but recently after watching the video of the screaming of those in that ill fated Ethiopian airline crash. I wasn't in the right frame of mind to begin enter any plane.
So I journeyed via road to Abuja.
But this trip was like a tourist journey and eye opener for me.
But I was not happy with the state of roads.
It dawned on me that the elite class have not truly done much for this country.
There is no reason a well nylon Tared super highway connecting the nooks and Cranny's of Nigeria, should not be.

Many think the solution is running away to other countries. Capital no.
We must rightly begin to demand the rights of every Nigerian from the ruling class.
World class infrastructures must be built.
Roads, power, etc. If these things are done, Nigeria's economy will drastically improve.

Take power and roads alone. South Africa with population of 40 million has generation capacity of 40, 000 megawatts of electricity while Nigeria with 200 million population is still grappling with 3000/5000megawatts.
They said fixing Nigeria s electricity alone will push our economy to over 2 trillion dollars because electricity will rub of on industrialization.

We must get it right. A must. I have not even talked about or educational system.
Because a Nation that wants to go forward must upgrade to the standards of developed world.

It is possible in this clime, may God help us.

“We have close to 40 million illiterate
adults, the majority of them are roaming
the street. In such an environment, you
could preach till the second coming of
Christ, but that will not stop people from
getting involved in electoral offences and
other acts of criminality.


Walahi this one got me laughing seriously

finalboss:
i bet you think what you typed made sense. I will reply you soon

The main problem with most of you is that this kind of topics goes way above your reasoning capacity. Then you start insulting someone.

Man is mortal, totally inconsequential. He is nothing but just breadth in his nostrils.
And then you see mere mortals questioning the divine powerful creator.
It is just because of God's mercies that endures forever that we are not consumed.

highcollide:
You're contradicting yourself. You want to talk about reasoning and you still involve faith which is the destruction of reasoning. Go and sit down. I don't have time for your overzealousness.

This matter goes way above your reasoning capacity, so bye

finalboss:
wouldnt count life as anything wonderful. Do you wanna knw what will happen when we die ?

You sleep, eat, marry, sex, make money and you won't count life as anything wonderful

Most of you that question God, let me ask you guys; can a clay say to the porter why are you moulding me like this Or will a car say to its manufacturer, why did you make me like this


Man is an amazing creation created by God. Even science corroborates the uniqueness of man;

the makeup of man. It’s something we assume, something we generally take for granted. It’s us after all. We are what we are, we’re who we are. Yet a critical lack of awareness can negatively impact destiny. A lack of awareness impinges spiritual understanding. “A man who is held in honour, yet who lacks spiritual understanding and a teachable heart, is like the beasts that perish.” Psalm 49:20 AMP.

The makeup of man is enormously complex. The physical dimension alone is a huge complexity. Take the plumbing work in the human body. It’s mind boggling – the adult body has 160,934.4 kilometres of blood vessels. A kid has 95,560.64 kilometres. There are millions of veins in the human body. Some of those veins have one way valves, especially the ones in the arms and the legs. The movement of the leg squeezes the veins and pushes blood towards the heart. The valves help prevent backward flow of blood. Imagine someone inserting valves in capillaries. A capillary is about the thickness of a strand of hair. Who does that! It’s serious micro engineering. Whoever designed the human body is an obsessive genius and perfectionist


There’s of course the human heart. The human heart pumps 7,600 litres of blood per day. That’s 15,200 bottles of Coke. In a lifetimes it will pump 200 million litres of blood. Do the maths in bottles of Coke. The heart will beat 2.5 billion times in a lifetime. It’s an industrial strength pumping machine. Has minimal maintenance cost actually. You can’t get that with man-made pumps. Then there’s the human brain. If the brain were a computer it could perform 38,000 trillion operations PER SECOND! As at today the world’s most powerful computer can only manage 0.002% of that capacity

I leave it for now.

highcollide:
Take your religious overzealousness and shove it in your ass.

Counter me with your own reasoning. What I put out there is reasoning and philosophical. Your calling it religious overzealousness casts doubt on your reasoning capacity.
Don't you enjoy food and all those things I mentioned there The day you will stand before God who gave you this wonderful gift of life will come, whether you like it or not.

highcollide:
The best thing is to not be born. The next best thing is to die immediately you're being born into this prison called life.

That's a big fat lie. I used to think like that before, but as I grew in knowledge of things I thought differently.

See, it is a privilege to have experienced life. Having a body. Many aborted foetus, have admired what it will be like to live in a body.

See this life is the greatest gift anyone can have. The pleasure of tasting Delicious meals, going to toilet is pleasure, urinating is pleasure. The gift of sight, hearing, is pleasure. The pleasure of the skin. And of course, the sweetest pleasure of sex.

The main issue is that men are ungrateful. Yes.
Humans are ungrateful, very selfish and very wicked.

Do you know that God shudders at the way humans behave. Take for instance hatred, God shudders at it because God is love. But humans hate, kill, maim there fellow beings. And that is why evil people cannot even stand in the presence of God, they can't fathom it.

Look at creation, the trees, plants, fruits for every season, food, babies, our children, wives and you will see that God is good.

Evil is in this world because it is a fallen world, ruled by the Prince of darkness, who has already been judged with all his agents and cohorts, but his final day of incarceration will soon come.

MyGeneration:
LoL... U dae mind them.

Though Mr N was wrong in saying that with all ramifications he is much more qualified than him

That's the thing with our people. If you come from influential family, you become a target.
They will say, he is depending on his fathers glory.
Although the Smart guy is charismatic but Obinna is also well educated. In fact I advised him to forget politics and focus on growing there corporation.

kennlynx:
To all the positive opinions on this topic, may God bless and reward u all, and while to the negative comments, How I wish you really know the young man in question. I'm of the opinion that one should investigate properly before commenting on topics. Mr Obinna Ngonadi who happens to be the son of Chief Humphrey Ngonadi of Ngobros and sons company limited, went too extreme to insult and humiliate his fellow brother Mr Nonso Smart Okafor who also was a contestant for the same race by bringing up Smart okafor Mother's source of livelihood to public disgrace all in the name of politics.
This is a moral lesson to all and sundry that one should never look down on the other because what goes around must surely come around.

I even talked with obinna some days before the election. Never knew he said such.
Although Smart is a charismatic type, not just that na NNE ya na ere akara.
Obinna has a lot going for him. I was suggesting he even focus on deepening Ngobros group and taking it to a higher level.
I don't even fancy these politics of a stuff

After this election my respect for Professor Jega tripled!! 2015 election was sound. Although my candidate lost.
But this years election was terrible.
INEC has to truly show fairness, because once voters apathy begins to increase.
It is dangerous for this our nascent democracy.
Be fair, so that when someone losses, he will accept it in good faith. But when an elections credibility is highly questioned, it bothers no good for our polity.

franchasng:
Pls don't scare me, this aspect scares the hell out of me.

I can forgive my wife anything she does against me, but the two things I can never forgive her are:

1.) Attempt to take my life away
2.) Cheating (I will never forgive no matter what, that will be the end of the road )

I really don't pray to be in your dad's shoe because I will kill somebody alive, which I really don't pray for

God I am begging you please don't let me marry a cheating woman that will cheat on me, instead find ways to cancel the wedding before it takes place oh Lord I pray

The solution is not too much scrutiny. If you screen too much, you go carry suegbe enter house.
In fact, from deep understanding, most of the women we tag as bad girls end up making good wives. Why do you think that most men that had bad marriages always say that when they married there wives, they looked good not knowing that it was all a camouflage.

The wisdom here is don't scrutinize too much.
Be prayerful, and look for any sign God is using to warn you about the person because God always gives us a sign of danger ahead but we don't listen or pay attention.

And for you as a man, make sure you are good to your woman, although not being a Sissy. Be good, nice, make sure you take good care of the woman in your life. Once you are good to a woman, you will reap it back.

And forget stories you read, there are still a lot of good, well raised women out there, let God lead you rightly.

This is how I did mine. Used to be very angry, discovering these scriptures through being taught in Church helped me;


Ecclesiastes 7 King James Version (KJV)

9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools



Ephesians 4 King James Version (KJV

22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

27 Neither give place to the devil.

28 Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.


The old man which gets angry, lusts, steals has been crucified. But it is you that will put it off.
Meditation on these scriptures will help you.
Now I control my self very well.

Chei I remember him with his articles then on Sahara Reporters. Chei, this life is nothing.
May his soul RIP.
