Respect the wish of the family, he belonged to a family before he became your friend.

shortgun:
Tragically we lost a close friend to the cold hands of death who passed away in a ghastly motor accident.

He was in his late thirties to early forties,unmarried, no child, and a Christian from the North west.

In solidarity, we his friends, proposed to hold a formal wake keep for him at his Abuja residence and promptly began the preparation process. This included securing the services of a DJ and arranging refreshments for the gathering.

Certain members of his family objected to the idea of the wake keep, contending that it was inappropriate for us to engage in partying and funfair following the untimely passing of their loved one. They insisted we limit the gathering to just a public address system and a choir to sing, nothing more.

Some of our friends are threatening to hands-off and withdraw their involvement from everything about the funeral including not attending the burial and allow the family members do whatever that pleases them.
Others are of the opinion that we should ignore the family members and go ahead with our plans since we are going to be paying respect to our late friend and not members of his family.

What do you guys think?

Please how do you lock your sim.

Sucre6:
That sim lock is unbreakable, ones your sim is locked even hushpuppy can't hack your account

Not really, he was very conscious and expressed his reservations, I loved the way he came out blunt and told the CEO, he was not a pushover, you know some of the people that went with the CEO, went because they trusted him and believed his marketing drive telling them that for the past 35 years nothing has happened to a non military deep. It is good for one to always maintain his grounds no matter the personalities involved.

Pipefitter:
That billionaire should take several seats behind... From the Convo, he never wanted to go, probably cash strapped now he's chasing clouts

Enter Amala joint, don't ask for semi, eba, or amala, ask for Fufu 3 wraps na 3h, one kpomo kika and one eshan eran, dilute am with one bottle water. Total go be 600, you park well look for somewhere to relax. LA vie continua.

GoWithGood:
During job hunting yesterday, I became very hungry and felt like I was about to faint in the nearest possible time if I don't have something down my stomach, having left the house without food. Normally I don't like eating outside because it's more expensive and you get less for your money but due to the level of hunger I was, I had no option than to look for the nearest place to eat.

A broke applicant, I went to the least of restaurant to eat and the least price for Garri and soup was N800, here in Calabar. Hmmmmm. Na wa o. The poor are really suffocating.

Anyways, I watched one video where Tinubu said "let the poor breathe. Don't suffocate them". Standing beside him was Buhari who was looking at him with a stern eye. I don't know why he wasn't comfortable with the statement.

Please let the poor (job seekers are in this group) breathe. Don't suffocate us the more. What is even the value of naira when the lowest plate of food is N800?

That N800 pain me eh. It would have done me better at home. Now no food at home, hungry and penniless.

How much is it in your area?

You and your mum are at risk with that guy around you, he is a spoiler that cannot fend for himself and will not want to leave the both of you( I mean you and your mum). God forbid he may lead to the death of either of you (I mean your mum or you speaking from experience because we have same story mine was just my elder brother and it consumed our late father) please protect your mum from him, give him his space and stand your ground as an elder brother that whenever he crosses the line until he is willing to change you will get him arrested using SARS.

Temioolajide:
Pls how do i deal with my junior brother?

I'm 19 yrs old and he is 17
He is very spoilt and stubborn
I just finished having a confrontation with him because i locked the window in our room cus the breeze entrying was much and it was making the cotton to fall.

He came in the room where i was reading and started shouting that the room is smelling calling me insultive name like olorun,obun room that isn'tsmelling at all.a new room.

When my mom intervened he starts saying she's always supporting me which he always says..

He thinks he can fight me but i don't just want to destroy that his mouth that is running like tap so i had to control my temper because he is a slim person and I'm more muscular.

Imagine when he had a surgery my mom spent over 120k on the surgery yet he still has the balls to talk any how to her.

Pls how do we bring him to order
Note: Our dad is late

Thanks much

I understand your soft heart naturally but let me shock you, this your suggestion has been causing more harm than good. If this is not handled now, that guy will lead to the death of this same mum that cannot bear his two sons fighting (I am speaking from experience), let men do what they have to do to bring his head down.

mariahAngel:
For the sake of your mum, do not fight (beat up) your younger brother. Please o!
She might not be able to bear her sons fighting.

Have and keep having patience with him, I believe he'll change eventually.
Whenever he starts to act all aggressive and stubborn, talk to him in a calmer tone.
Tell him not to talk back at your mum also.

What makes him different from you, because he is a governor Don't you go close to dirt's without face mask If he used facemask now, same you will be complaining.

tydi:
So unhygienic of the governor.
How could he go to dirts without a face mask on and his aids couldn't even had advice him .

Despite party affiliation, I love Sanwo Olu, I felt really pity for him during the gubernatorial elections, but in all the guy na guy, same pattern as agent Fash.

I love your assertion in your fourth paragraph, "you should" and not "you must". Please don't miss understood my position, it is good to help, it is good to give, it is good to have or show mercy and compassion to people around you but my point is having done or having the above character WITHOUT receiving the word of salvation,everything good you think you have done amounts to nothing. It was wrong for the preachers to only pick the fact that he did not help Lazarus made him go to hell, his going to hell was majorly because he did not listen to the prophets while he was alive and that he indirectly affirmed in verse 27-30. Parables are hidden words meant not to be easily understood in plain words but with much wisdom and deep thinking, you get the true picture.

For the sheep and goat you mentioned, it is crystal clear that it is based on the characteristics of the subjects (in this case goat and sheep) every disobedient fellow is referred to a goat and the obedient one is a sheep.

Lastly, if you are for Christ as your moniker says, take time to explain things well without being filled with rage leading to passing judgements or making conclusions that are often not necessary since it is not in your place to determine who ends up as sheep or goat. The thief crucified with Christ was a goat but at the last minute CHRIST HIMSELF made him sheep, it simply means mercy and grace found him at the last minute. Shalom!

Ken4Christ:


Nobody owes you anything is a worldly jargon used to evade your responsibility to others in need. It's not so on the kingdom of God.

The parable of the sheep and goat made it clear.

So many will go to hell for neglecting to help those in need within their power.

You certainly can't help everyone but you should be able to do so to people who are close to you and even come for help.

Enjoy your wealth alone. Don't help anyone. You will be in the line of goats on that day.

The word of God is very clear on it. Despise it at your own peril.

Not really my brother, it was never a must for the rich man to help Lazarus, it was a 'should' like the rich man should have helped him. Nobody owes you anything, so we should forget this entitlement mentality. Secondly the parable is between Lazarus and the rich man, by extrapolation it means the rich man is not the only rich man in that story as there were several of them (I drew my conclusion from the heading of the story, Lazarus and the rich and not the richest man). Thirdly I see Lazarus as a very lazy man, no matter the outcome, u sat at the rich man's gate, his dogs were licking your wounds and he didn't make any efforts. Same as what we have in this modern parlance, person wey go help u no go stress you, if the rich man no help Lazarus, he should have looked elsewhere. Back to the reason he went to hell, read verse 27-30 it was clearly stated that he requested Lazarus to go back and preach to his brothers and you saw Abraham's response, meaning they preached the word of salvation to him but he failed to harken unto it. What led him to hell was he rejected the gospel of salvation. You may be rich, you may be a generous giver, you may have compassion on the poor but if you fail to receive and accept the gospel of salvation then you are hell bound. That was why it was a parable and the hidden truth has been misunderstood by people who only preach on giving but fail to consolidate the salvation part of the story.

Ken4Christ:


He did not have mercy on poor Lazarus. Rather, he humiliated him in his poverty stricken condition.

My thought though, eye service tinz so emilokan go look his face. Good luck Jonathan was mocked by putting his picture on a coffin, up till now he is still living and enjoying himself. Let seyi go and sit down, unless he don offend someone.

Eriokanmi:
Is seyi looking for a political appointment? Why is he still living in the past? Did the girl finally die? Are those who wanted her dead God ? Abeg!

What would people like us say? I've received a lot of messages with curses and insults, just because I didn't support tinubu. It has only turned into blessings for me because I meant no harm and I hurt nobody. I didn't even return that curse on them. I only read their messages and closed them. Seyi must be a comedian indeed. I guess he's jobless.

Go sniff your drugs and get off my mentions

Sltp:
STFU!!!

sorry for your loss and no need to mince words, I will blame you completely, when a woman is in love, her closest confidant is no longer her parents or siblings but the one she loves, her final place to get succour was in you but because you were not patient you blew it off, quite unfortunate you learned the extreme way, let this change your attitude of being hasty. Do accept my condolence.

Elizkid:
My Fiancé called last night and said she wanted to die. She wouldn’t tell me what the problem was.


I got angry and told her to get off the phone if she couldn’t say what her problem was. She said she’s in trouble and would kill herself.

Her sister broke the news to me morning. I’m so down. I should have calmed her down. I should have been patient and listened to her.

But I was just angry because she didn’t say anything on time. My friend even spoke to her on phone and told her to tell him what the issue was and that she’s causing unrest for everyone. I feel so guilty. I’m down

You didn’t have to take your own life, babe.

I heard it has to do with an issue she has with her family. I need words to calm me down right now. I’ve not been myself.

No holidays from 3rd-5th.

silverx:
After workers day, una go come enter census week starting from on the 3rd of may to 6th of may. Make una just declare the entire week work free day.

I love your words of encouragement, I just hope he puts all of that to actions. As for moove, you have to pay 11milluon naira in 4 years, boy that one na slavery oooo, I think the guy is not talking, someone that is down already fears no fall. No close your mouth,Approaching 40 without the basic things sincerely is discouraging. God bless your hustle ops.

VCMoneyInsights:
Life is hard. Here in Naija . And everywhere else (forget the snow stories and pretend on ).

You must work hard to get anywhere if you don’t inherit or fraudulently acquire wealth.

No one will hand you the life you dreamt of because you’re depressed, burdened with family, or getting by on measly pay.

You have to make practical moves. After all, you’re already holed up in a dead-end career, the opposite of careers with a high barrier of entry.

Tech shouldn’t be your problem right now. You’re not cut out for it.

Going into a career path because you heard it’s hot and a way to get out of poverty is probably a bad idea.

I see you love driving. So, why not build a career around driving?

Getting a car shouldn’t be a problem. Get off your high horse and speak to everyone you know about getting a car for . Talk to people at work, churches, mosques, conferences and family meetings.

You should find someone willing to give you a car on hire purchase or daily remittance .

When you have your car, work hard. Be honest and reliable.

Don’t try to outsmart your benefactor. Most Naija people have low integrity. Be different.

From what you make and save, learn how to drive trucks as well.

Then start working towards migration — the United States , the United Kingdom, and Canada.

Get up and start today. To lie down and do nothing is to be crippled fast.

All the best, family man!

PS: If you talk to everyone you know offline and still can’t get a car, maybe you can look towards Moove. I heard they have a vehicle financing scheme. Haven’t used them. Can’t say much about them. But you should look their way and see.

Stop saying rubbish, your life span will be 1 sec if u continue like this.

All these story that touches can be avoid if we support LGBTQ+*

Imagine a life that we all can live the truths, do you think there will be gay men faking it with women?

You don’t have to be gay to support gay, you are only supporting them to live the truth and be happy. This sister wouldn’t be in this situation if we allowed everyone to live in their truth.

Oga buy enough lands, have the documents, leave the land to appreciate for people wey japa to come buy, use same proceed further your children studies, if possible label each land in choice areas with the name of the children, if u bought a land for 2m now and your child na 5years old in 10years time, you know how much the land go appreciate, by then ur child na 15years, you don sought and settle that side. Everything is planning, not joining the bandwagon, as for me, I go make my bar here, go vacation at my will for Yankee.

Foolish Reno, Bar. OLISA AGBAKOGBA has given a perfect answer to stop all these issues we are experiencing at the moment, arresting Obi or Datti will heat up the polity the more, the only section that can put an end to all these is the ELECTION TRIBUNAL, let them borrow a model from Kenya and conclude the whole petitions before them before swearing in on may 29th, If Sen. Tinubu is the winner so be it, If Obi is the winner so be it. Let these useless blood sucking politician don't burn our beloved country called Nigeria into a war zone, nobody prays for war. This foolish Reno is not even in Nigeria and he is spewing all these to heat up the polity. DSS should please contact the interpol and shut the mouth of these enemies of democracy spewing thrash outside the country. The CJN should please do the needful as history will always remember him at this time we need his profession the most.

Please share your experience... Kai, the street is not friendly

As I dey read your post na so laugh just dey burst from my mouth, the first day you were employed, the same day those guys came, lucky you!!!! Please look for another job. Wish u all the best.

NairalandSon:
Let me start by saying security job is not my dream job but while I'm very hopeful of getting that dream job someday soon, body and soul need to be put together. An unemployed person with penniless pocket will certainly understand my predicament. The only option is to grab anything provided it can take of your very essential needs. Worse is when you wake up with no food to eat or not even soap to bath with, then you'd realize doing anything is sure better than nothing.

So I got this security job which I resumed yesterday. Could you believe that same yesterday, armed robbers operated in the area. As you know, security or what people call gateman is the one the armed robbers target first when they come to a place.

It was around 3:am when everywhere was quiet, As the security, I did a patrol around the compound when I noticed suspicious noise in the next compound. Before I know, I heard people shouting over there. I stayed back. In less than no time, I saw about 5 people coming straight to my compound. They pointed torch inside. I didn't bother to ask who they were cos I already knew. My people, I didn't even know when I commot for gear run to the backyard of the house, jumped over to the other side which is a bush, breathing like who just escaped death. Unfortunately, I sustained injury while running in the bush. Since the gate of the compound is not high, they jumped over it and gained entry into the compound, but thankfully they couldn't gain access to the house due to burglary after a long while of triaI. Unfortunately for me again, I slept in the bush till this morning.

Now, I learnt robbers operate in the area often. This has further put fear in me. I wouldn't want to be a victim of robbery circumstance because of a job whose salary cannot even meet one's needs.

So I am confused now. Even with the injury, should I go back to the place or not? Presently I don't have anything else doing and I don't have money to sustain myself either. Please what would you advise me?

Note: this happened somewhere in Delta state. I don't want to disclose the location for security reasons.

What a wicked world filled with heartless beings, how can you beat up an old man and his wife and killing them at the same time, i cannot imagine the fears, tortures and pains in the eyes of these helpless old couples before life was sniffed out of them, Hmmmmm sleep well.May your killers be found and given same treatment.

I love this guy so much but the truth is he is playing the script perfectly, for Tinubu to be quiet over the gubernatorial elections in Lagos means he has perfected his plans of rigging as usual. Only using sanwo olu to act as though he is getting the electorates on his side by doing all these eye service gestures. Trust politicians at your own peril. APC and their evil party members. SMH.

Corporate bodies, broadcasting stations,organised private sectors should please get a palliative or palliatives for their staff to cushion these effects, if it is to schedule their staff by numbers of days they need to come to work, they mustn't work Monday - Friday and if they must work, for those staying far should be given a space or be lodged in hotels close by. Staff members have given enough to the best of their strength to building the organizations, they (organizations) too should do same in times of circumstances like this. RIP to the deceased.

I doubt this narrative big time though also agree with u as politicians could not be trusted. Looking at it vividly, GRV is still saying the real Lagosian should take back their Lagos and not people that claim to be one. I don't see him associating with APC if he wins, though calm and looking dope but wetin dey mind deep oooooo.

Kasdat5:


What if GVR wins & later decamp to APC
I have zero trust for politicians .. They are ALL same .

They woke up strong this morning, did their normal morning chores, bade their families in isolo good bye with the hope of seeing their smiling faces after the day's work, then boom such news. I can imagine the thick dark cloud in the homes of the bereaved. May the Almighty God give them the strength to bear the loss and the deceased rest in peace. We will not experience collective death in Jesus Name. Amen!!

Oga calm down, let the people decide. Leave seun out of this. May the better candidate win on Saturday.

Omoawoke:


Nice jab

That aside;

Seun, we won't pretend that we are not noticing your bias towards Sanwo_olu on Nairaland

You push every anti -SAnwo Olu topic to front page.

GRV Chinedu is your friend, you brought him to Nairaland to campaign.

You posted Anti-Sanwo olu thread telling us to vote him out
A fake news without verification that Sanwo olu is bribing people with 1,500 to vote him made it to FP within seconds

For almost one week, the tribal bigot tweets of Chinedu have been trending back to back but you pretended you did not see it and made sure none of them smelled FP.

But you are quick to post every accusation against Sanwo-Olu government to FP

You and CHinedu will be disgraced this Saturday. Just change nairaland to ChineduLAnd

I love u sanwo olu personally, but the will of the people is sovereign it is high time we showed this so called political class that power belongs to the people, if a bike man could be elected as a rep member, our democracy is gradually becoming a democracy.
