Christianity Etc › Re: 7 Weird Things We Do In Church by donodion(m): 11:22am On Jul 26, 2015 |
timawoku: These are my 7 weirdest things that we exhibit in churches...
1) The act of 'sleeping without closing your eyes' ; I learnt this act many years ago, especially in churches where the ushers are very stubborn and keep tapping you every time you shut your eyes. This act can only be done by Pros. It requires you making your eyes being wide open, but your body in deep sleep. The only problem here is that pray you don't get called upon by the pastor to answer a question, a friend of mine whose name is emmanuel was practicing the act one vigil night when our pastor (who was about starting another round of prayer) shouted 'God of Emmanuel!', my friend Jolted back to reality on hearing 'emmanuel', stood up and said (in a very loud tone) 'sir, I am listening'. I couldn't help the laughter that day and the look on his face was worse than Mr Ibu's.
2) The Church 'Madmathecian'; if you get extremely bored in church, you tend to; firstly, look around you to check if any familiar face is around you, then, ultimately, you turn into a 'madmathecian' by counting things in the church nobody asked you to count. You start counting the number of fans, how many chairs are in church, the number of choir members, etc. When it gets extremely worse is when you start calculating how much the church receive in terms of Member's tithe. Or how much different members might drop as tithe. By this time, you are no longer in the church, neither would you ever understand what the pastor is saying even if he keeps repeating himself. Smh for you.
3) The 'Lookozade'; this act is the most common by church goers, it requires you to look as if you are paying apt attention to what the preacher is saying, while your mind can wander of... Very often than not, your mind can wander of to something quite sinful (sex, alcohol, etc) only for you to remind yourself of being in the house of God, trying to be attentive to what the preacher is saying once again, and go back to the beginning by 'lookozading' some more! You for no kuku come church sef.
4[b]) African time;[/b] this occurs when a church extends it closing time in a service, I like to call it 'overtime'. For instance, a church is billed to close by 1 pm, just some few minutes after the 'supposedly' closing time you hear announcement of something like 'we will now go into our thanksgiving sunday program', some people fit faint sef. It happened once to a friend of mine whom I dragged to church and assured him we would close by 12, after 12 like this he was staring at me with a killer's eyes, by 1 the pastor announced that the kids were to present something to the church (as per children's day), this my guy eyes done red finish, he was headed outside when I rushed to him to plead he stayed for the grace. The worse part was immediately after service, na beer parlor my guy rush go straight. Smh for some people.
5) 'deceitful humming'; this is done during praise worship. Every body else seems to know the song very well except you!, you no fit carry last na! Hum away my friend,just pray they change the song to the ones you know soonest!
6) Being 'alone' in the church; this happened to me once, when we were told to stand up and pray, me I dey hammer the prayer sotay, I did not hear when the pastor told everyone to sit down, after a while, as I no hear pastor again, I just open one eye discover say the whole world done siddon and na only me dey pray! This salary matter sha! You might end up being alone in the church if you don't open your eyes and look around you. Professional church goers always shine their eyes even when you are told not to
[b]7)Lusting after a beautiful member; [/b]if there is a beautiful church member that is your taste right beside you, then satan done catch you for that day! You end up being self conscious all through, your thoughts leave the church and goes into your bedroom with the girl/guy, you first start to steal glances, from there your mind advances to strike a conversation or meeting, somehow for you as satan dey dance shoki for your life.
If you do any of this then Somehow for you!
Please add yours, I done try na!
Hahahahahaahahahahahahsa my broda. Thanks for this...I laugh so hard tears triking out of my eyes. .especially that sleeping with eyes open part. Goodness you are good hey |
Foreign Affairs › Re: Xenophobia: 8yrs Old South African Girl Mocked For Bearing A Nigerian Name by donodion(m): 10:07am On Jul 26, 2015 |
Miaraka: We know and accept that you are not clowning when you threaten to close down and or destroy the property of South African companies and attack South Africans who are legally in your country. The negligibly few South Africans who were involved in the recent shameful, dastardly and unacceptable attacks on other Africans, learned from the best. In 1983, the democratically-elected Shehu Shagari government actually legislated the expulsion of at least 2 million Ghanaians and a few other African immigrants. This act of xenophobia was repeated by the military in 1985. The beating and killing of innocent foreigners, mostly Ghanaians, had become a national pastime as they were blamed for the widespread crime, corruption and unemployment. By the force of law and popular support Ghanaians were ordered to leave within 7 days and take only N20.00 or $17. 65 USD with them. Their businesses were seized, closed down or destroyed. As if that was not enough, you danced, sang hate songs, mocked and laughed at them as they climbed onto overcrowded vehicles destined for the border. You even have a Ghana Must Go bag to crown it all! Hitherto, South Africans had lived and worked peacefully for decades with Africans from as far as Tanzania, Madagascar, etc. Some of them even became great South African musicians, ANC and trade union leaders. Siyabonga Gama is actually 4 years old and is South African. Siyabonga means "we are grateful" and Gama means "name" in the Zulu language. He was hit by a stray rubber bullet in February 2015 when the police were forced to fire at some people who were trying to illegally seize and occupy land in Diepsloot, north of Johanbesburg. I've lived, studied and worked in many African and European countries. I can tell you without a doubt in my mind that prejudice is part of the DNA of human beings. It exists even among Nigerians. I'm South African, born and bred in the Gauteng province of South Africa. Other children used to call me Mafutha ( Zulu for fat) and also laugh at my big banana lips. They would mock others because they didn't have a dad or because they were slim or had big or small eyes, were light or very dark in complexion. If you ran to your mother, complaining about what other children were saying, she would train you how to hit back. In Nigeria, our rivals told the girls that we hadn't been circumcised and were going to infect them. Most of our guys had no choice but to buy it at the market, as a result. At a school in the North East, when we were facing certain death or injury because a Yoruba girl loved one of us, Nigerian tribalism saved us. There were only 15 South Africans and Zimbabweans at our school. The battle line was drawn, Nigerian and Southern African boys were facing each, weapons in hand, when the Nigerians started quarreling among themselves. The Igbos joined us and that increased our number and stopped the fight. In the South East, one of us was burnt with acid on the face. We didn't accuse the whole Nigerian nation of some xenophobic agenda against us. Neither did we run to the ANC and ask them to organise an international campaign against Nigeria. This could have happened anywhere in the world, even in our own country. We knew that the Nigerian people and Government were good people, were supportive of our struggle and wishing us well. My advise to the wives of foreigners is that they should be strong, train their children to be mentally strong and stand up for themselves, teach their children about our struggle and Africa as well as what caused their fathers to come and settle here. I'm also available to help them whatever way possible. As for Nigerians, I invite you to visit and see with your own eyes what SOME immigrants, including SOME Nigerians, are doing in this country. Sober-minded, hard-working, law-abiding and God-fearing Nigerians who are here legally dislike what their countrymen are doing in this country. Why do you keep saying they hate us? We don't hate Nigerians. We hate crime and criminals belong behind bars or back home where they come from. Advise your countrymen to register themselves as political refugees, business people, experts or students. As long as our Government has your photo, fingerprints and address in South Africa and you stay away from criminal activities, you will have an enjoyable and peaceful stay in South Africa. We can even offer you a wife or husband, if you need one. Even the Zulu King, in my opinion the biggest landowner in this country, apart from Government , can even give you land where you can settle your clan or build your own city. Just do the right thing. Why do you want us to accept that your people should live here illegally, as outlaws? Are you good Nigerians or someone else? You are mistaken, our President is not stupid. You sound like a greenhorn and stupid idiot. Even with your PhD you'll never do better than him. President Zuma, despite the lack of formal education, was born in one of the most underdeveloped villages of our countrywhich. He joined ANC at the age of 16, joined our guerrilla army at the age of 19, spent 10 years on Robben Island, recruited people and rebuilt the underground structures of his party upon his release from prison, went into exile when it became practically impossible for him to continue his underground work, he was appointed Chief of Intelligence by the late ANC President, Oliver Tambo, he also is credited for stopping the fighting between Inkatha Freedom Party and ANC members which saw thousands of Zulus being manipulated by the apartheid regime to kill each other in the 80s and before the first democratic elections. He is also the man who successfully negotiated the Burundi peace settlement which was started by President Nyerere of Tanzania. Despite all odds, he beat all of us, black and white, to the highest post in the land. Can you match any or all of that with your PhD? The distortion and dissemination of mendacious information against our country by you and your type as well as the ease with which you accept, believe and act on it, confirms my suspicion that somewhere in the world, hopefully not in Nigeria or South Africa, there is a fifth column that is taking full advantage of your arrogance and lack of knowledge and running a dirty tricks department with a view to cause an irreparable rift between South Africa and Nigeria, thereby setting the stage for Presidents Buhari and Zuma to preside over the worst ever bilateral relations between South Africa and Nigeria, the two Sub Saharan economic powerhouses that must work together and lead Africa's struggle for sustainable development, economic freedom and true independence, Pardon my intrusion,but I could not help than to ask if you are of the early '70s birth gap?...your approach, mannerism and receptive conduct depicts you are much elderly than the rest from that part of the world. Or Im I under a wrong assumption?. |

It is obvious the argument about the choice of marriage type is not about "being together", it is about financial benefits.

ronald4lif: I agree. But if a woman is not willing to accede to a pre-nup contract then it's no nuptials for me and I think should be same for every man/woman, depending on the possession at stake.
There's too much greed in the world for anyone to neglect the importance of marriage-settlement on the altar of love which is very deceptive. Any partner who repudiates the move of realizing this have an ulterior motive and should be dumped without delay. Love should have boundaries and one must abide to certain rules except if they want to be manipulated. True...and its interesting how women complicate matters for themselves. You just need to assess the divorced snd single older women without a steady man to understand their regrets.Seriously women are complex beings. |
Family › Re: She Wants Court Marriage, He Wants Traditional Marriage, She Say He Does Not.... by donodion(m): 5:47pm On Jul 12, 2015 |
ronald4lif: That's how it should be. A pre-nup contract should be embark upon before nuptials, especially in this age where people are marrying for wealth and financial gratifications. The love flim-flam tricks shouldn't fly anymore. Not to people who are cognizant of the fact that there's no such thing as love. We only have "interest" not love. Question....in reality..how many wife-to-be would agree to sign prenup before marriage? In the instance above,the young woman is insecure and unsure of "her benefits" thus the insistence and emotional blackmail of breaking up with him. If the Bobo would reason with his head and not his heart,he doesnt need a vision or prophetess to tell him what'd in store for him,should he proceed with the wedding |

Politics › Re: National Identity Number Mandatory From September by donodion(m): 3:52pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
greggles: These people are really learning from us, I wrote about this in my frontpage article!
The process is slow and it seems the management is incompetent as compared with the implementation of the BVN, but it should be implemented by law so that we have a unique ID system in Nigeria.
With your National ID, you should qualify for certain incentives like loans, overdraft etc, it would be mandatorily needed by banks as soon as it is implemented, so that they will tie every person to their accounts nationwide. Banks will even stop asking for collateral for certain amounts of money because you can no longer run with their money and if you do, they already know where you went to because the system is also tied to your international passport, drivers license etc and once you leave the country, they know where you are and they will easily write to the host country that you're a fugitive
Also, once you're arrested by the police, the first thing they do is take your thumbprint and your details come up immediately, that offense is recorded and your crime history is easily available to law enforcement to track you and invite you for questioning when you are spotted within a location where a crime is committed, that's the system used abroad to draw up a list of suspects when a crime has no face on it
Also, before you rent a house, your landlord gives you a form and requests your Identity which he uses to run a background check with the authorities to know if you have outstanding criminal cases like child abuse (in case he has kids that could be vulnerable). Before you get a job, get admission into school, run for a political appointment, get a loan from the bank or lending company etc, a bankground check is done with your identity
It has been long overdue in a country like Nigeria having serious security issues and abuse of office and power issues. Yes it is...but this is huge and the corruption tendencies of our people won't in govt won't let them put in place the structures to assist the vision. As long corrupt but highly connected few are not benefitting from the contract.... Either the network frame structure, the hardwares, the programme, the bye-laws to be approved by NASs,etc..the won't allow it to work. |
Politics › Re: National Assembly Jumbo Salary: Labour To Shut Down The Economy by donodion(m): 3:36pm On Jun 22, 2015 |
Rainmaker69: If you study the process of change, you would note that 'talk' keeps issues in the consciousness of the people. This is more important considering our collective short term memory in this country. If the issues are discussed and thrashed out intelligently, the right course of action will present itself and people will be better informed. In this case, IMO, I think this issue should be challenged in court. The thing with many of those cheering NLC on is that they are looking for someone else to fight for them. If you understand the issues and are passionate enough, take the matter to court. That way you won't be too shocked when NLC leaders are invited to a close door meeting and they emerge dancing azonto. Bro all you stated above is practicable in a country with regard and respect to the judiciary. How many among the lawmakers could effectively quote 3 sections of our constitution off hand?. Issues tendered in court more than often get thwarted or thrown out once it has to do with people in power.That's why radicalism is the only option masses have. Someone or some group have to spearhead this,else Nigerians would keep shouting and as always resort to " God come and help us". |

Why should anyone talk of shutting down an economy that is barely struggling? If they don't have any new ideas then they should just park well. Meanwhile, do quick and refund the housing project moneys 1st. ** The only way to effect change is for every Nigerian to lend a voice to the call for a reduction in the jumbo salaries and allowances of public servants. Unfortunately that "voice lending" is never enough to effect CHANGE in Nigeria. Past experiences have proven this. Only ACTION does.Yes let the economy be shut down.Airports shut,land borders shut, All education depts. Shut, trade and commerce shut.... Eh hen then they would listen and act immediately. Let the people pack action to NASS. #occupyNASS |

International businessman with billions of dollars to his name, Richard Branson, has lambasted the crop of leaders we have in Nigeria for their high level greed which, according to him, is killing big brands wishing to do business with the government of the country, for the growth of Nigeria’s economy. Below is the revelations by Mr. Branson on his experience in Nigeria… The chairman of Virgin Atlantic said: “…we have virgin’s ill-fated footsteps by setting up a new airline in Africa in conjunction with Nigerian government…the details of the doomed attempts to crack the Nigerian market in the 2000s is better imagined…we put …together a very good airline-the first airline in West Africa that was ever IOSA/IATA operational safety audit accredited but unfortunately it got tied down to the politics of the country…we led the airlines for 11 years… “We fought daily battle against government agents who wanted to daily make fortune from us, politicians who saw the government 49% as a meal to seek for all kinds of favour…watchdogs (regulatory body) that didn’t know what to do and persistently asking for bribes at any point…Nigeria people are generally nice but the politicians are very insane…that may be irony because the people make up the politicians… “But those politicians are selfish…we did make N3billion for the federal government of Nigeria during the joint venture…realising that the government didn’t bring nothing to the table/partnership except dubious debts by the previous carrier, Nigeria Airways…The joint venture should have been the biggest African carrier by now if the partnership was allowed to grow, but the politicians KILLED it…Nigeria is a country we SHALL NEVER consider to doing business again Courtesy http://pointblanknews.com/pbn/exclusive/nigerian-politicians-are-too-corrupt-and-insane-richard-branson/ |
