The irony? Enough money to throw on untarred red earth. So rich, surrounded by the poor to boost his ego. He can throw money to feed his ego, he can't help the community.
Mental chains that bind us.

just wetin I been wan talk

Read a story that really caught my attention which was not complete,so I followed the link and got to nairaland. That was 2010. I stayed as a guest till 2016. Nairaland has been my only source of online news since them,but before it was naij.com news forum.

Nice tactics

I once had a neighbor that kidnappers would find hard to trace home.

Back when he was unmarried, he was a baddass player. He had a main girlfriend but have several others from 2go and Facebook.

To confuse the girls from tracing his house (to avoid unannounced visit) if say he wants to pick the girl from Ikeja and he lived in Volks Barracks, he would drive from Ikeja to Mile 2, go straight to "Coconut" and turn to Mile 2 again, heads to Orile Iganmu, then heads to Festac, negotiates Navy Town and gets to Volks. Even at his "area", he didn't drive straight to his house as he drives round and round in streets before going home.

There was a stubborn girl that refused to "submit", after all the love talks before her visit. My neighbor just took her to park and the girl was expecting transport fare, but niqqa just zoomed off. Even if the distance from that park to his house was near, the girl can't trace it.

sometin dey tell me Swy na u b that badass neighbour.

7k is what I need now to solve my immediate problem (based on scale of preference). And someone is spending 360k on meat? Chai! poverty!! I no know why God punish me like this o. The both sides of my families' lands(my mothers paternity and maternity sides) that host Shell and a refinery, and power station, that I could have used to blow are all gone. Wicked people no allow me enjoy for this life wey I come. Young boys and girls are just enjoying my inheritance while I dey sitdan look.

Can you suggest a better way to reach out to them?

We have all kind of radio stations in Nigeria and No one complained about yorubanization, Igbonization, christianizarion and even Islamization.

Why is it that any suggestion the government makes in tackling this issue is resisted by some ?

Ask them for solutions and they keep quiet.

It looks like all zombies share one brain. That's not a problem,but the IQ is very low. Is fg providing the radio station for the big ogas like Buhari and co who are founders of miyitti Allah to listen to,or the herders who are only their errant guys?

I have this cousin who was very stubborn. Boy joined cult at the age of 11 and started smoking at the same time. Everyone was very disappointed,but not me. Everyone in the family was just using me to judge him, but I always tell them to stop. Everyone can't be good. In fact I encouraged him to be bad(every family needs some bad eggs especially if you are living in B.Y; they are not always that bad). At least because of his ruggedity, we had peace of mind from other bad boys who would have found it easy to intimidate us.
The day this boy turned a new leaf just surprised everyone. He had gone out with friends and got drunk to stupor during a highness competition and passed out. His friends just left him there suffocating in his own vomits after taking pictures of him. It was some good Samaritans that brought him to the house; and it took him over a week to gain himself with the injuries he sustained in free falls. That singular incidence taught my boy that OYO is his case when the chips are down for a wayward child.

I Believe, Your Grace, Jesus,Holiness—By Elliot G.

1). Your Grace

Where was I? Where am I now?
Look,the story lines have changed
From nothing I was,to everything I am
It is your Grace...it only could be your Grace,Lord.

Everything I am now, and all that I have today(it's you,Lord x3) x3

It is Your Grace,You are the reason for who I am
It is Your Grace,Lord; You gave me everything I have
It is Your Grace,Lord; You gave me the life that I have. It is Your Grace, Lord.
What would I be without Your Love?
What could I do without Your Grace?
So many times I tried without You
So many times I was put to shame
All of the times I tried with my strength
all if the time my condition remained the same

It is Your Grace,Lord. Lord, your Grace see me through
It is Your Grace,Lord; Your Grace is the truth
For who i am,what I am,and where I am. ***

2) I Believe

I believe in Jesus Christ. yeah
I believe in His saving Grace
And I believe in His healing,healing powers
I believe, I believe. O yes,I believe. x3

There is power in the name called Jesus (power to save,When you believe)
There is power in the name called Jesus( power to heal,when you believe)
There is power,there is power,there is power (in the name called Jesus)

I believe in Jesus Christ. yeah
I believe in His saving Grace
And I believe in His healing,healing power
I believe, I believe. O yes,I believe. x3

I remember the lady He saved from death
I remember the lady with issue who got her healing
And I also remember Lazarus who was brought back from the dead
And also the blind man who got his healing ***

My older cousin once lived with us with his girl who was very ill mannered. Then we were still very young,girl will just be bossing us around. She won't do anything in the house o,cos she saw us na. She will just be snapping fingers and giving commands. So e get this day wey she called out to my small bro to bring something for her but he didn't hear her well,so he went to her to ask her to repeat. Na so banny vex throw one high heel at him and it broke his head. Chai,come see beating wey she chop when my older cousin came back home(he had been warning her concerning the way she treated us). We just dey one corner dey laugh her. After that beating, banny just humble like naira Marlie. She will be like "please can you kindly do me a small favour Elliot,bring me a glass of water. I go give u money for school,abeg eh. Abeg be careful so the glass doesn't fall and injure u o".

P.S. They are happily married with kids now, and woman is now a favourite daughter-in-law in the house.

p.s. Some men need to take control over their infatuations and emotions and control the damn bitches.

PREPARE YOUR FAMILY FOR RAPTURE
On Thursday, 26th January, 2018, in the early morning, Nigerian time, God gave me a message in a dream which centers on calling Believers to prepare their families for rapture.

This message is a follow-up to a message God had given me some months earlier in which I was told by Voice that it was possible for a whole family to make the rapture.

To this regard, I will make a brief reference to two families who ever faced a situation similar to rapture in the bible. They are the families of Noah and Lot. Noah prepared his whole family to escape the impending destruction of the world at that time. All of them prepared, entered the ark and escaped the destruction through flood that came up the earth at that time.

Genesis 7:7
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.

Lot probably did not prepare his family to escape the destruction to come upon Sodom and Gomorrah at his time and consequently some members of his family were lost to the destruction through fire of Sodom and Gomorrah. A detailed teaching that suggests that Lot did not prepare his family in a godly way is coming up. You can book a copy.

Genesis 19:14, 26
14 And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one that mocked unto his sons in law.
.
.
26 But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

God’s expectation is that every believer should prepare his family and household in a godly way at this time of the end.

Genesis 18:17-19
17 And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

In the scripture above, the Lord said He would not hide anything from Abraham, not just because Abraham would be great but because Abraham would teach his family (wife and children) and his household (everyone living under his roof) the way of the Lord. This is the will of God for every believer at this time as we await the return of the Lord, Jesus Christ, at rapture.

If you prepared yourself and your family, then your whole family shall escape like Noah and his family/household escaped, but if you failed to prepare them, then you shall fulfill the scriptures in Ezekiel 3:19, Mathew 24:40.

Jesus, indeed, is coming. Stay ready in absolute repentance, righteousness and holiness.

Shalom.

JESUScoming

May God bless you. I have been given this same message trice, in fact the last one was just yesterday. Rapture is a real event! It is happening already. Sadly,I will not make it until after the great tribulation. #repent guys.

MarianaTrench:
Must you people bring religion into every topic here.

He wants practical solutions not wishful thinking!

I was poisoned on the just passed easter day by my neighbour; I almost died. But there is this woman who has nerve breakdown and has been immobile for twenty five years,prayed for me and I was healed. I am still finding it hard to believe,but who cares.

Nnaabros:
But how does one love a person they've never met?
You fell in 'love' just from his online post, texts, phone calls?

The word love has been so misused these days that it has become almost meaningless

Have u ever been so pressed before that you were willing to give the world just to find somewhere to release and when you finally had the chance to offload it,you fell in love with...wait! what did you fall in love with? yeah! That feeling you can't explain is how love works.

Adviseasister:
Good evening Nairalanders,

I had to create a new moniker for this, but I believe my guy will know this is for him.

Sometime last year I received a PM from a nlder. After going through his posts, I was pleased and we started talking. One thing led to another and we started a relationship. I must confess he is everything a woman wants in a man, he brought out this part of me I never knew existed and he did it so easily. We started seeing a future, I was happy.

Fast forward to February this year, I noticed a decline in communication. I complained and he blamed it on work. It continued and I had to ask what the problem is, he maintained it was work.

By March, things got worse and I have not been able to concentrate at work. I send him voice-notes and he responds hours later. I send messages and he responds with one word. I must also add he doesn't pick my calls at night anymore, but his NL profile would be seen online, though he won't comment.

I do not know what to do as I can't bring myself to love someone else as I love him. It is a long distance relationship and I do not know what to do. Is it possible he is facing challenges there and doesn't want to share?

Should I wait for him to come around or move on? Has anyone been in this situation before, how did you manage it? I feel so heartbroken.

When I saw the title, my heart cut. I thought my gf has finally *done" with me. I thank God it wasnt me. It has been six months since I last spoke with my girl; also two years we saw each other. I am the worst bf on earth—i won ur guy on this. Look, i don't even know my girl's birthday anymore. But despite all these, I love my girl. In fact I am keeping my distance cos I love her. I am damn broke I wouldn't want to be an extra baggage to her. Even though she doesn't mind, I do and I am not a fan of those testing a girl's patience and love by how willing she is sticking around when you are nothing. I want to make the money so that I can love her well.

So,you see. You have got a bf who may or may not be interested in you,or the one who is indecisive. Now the only way to know is to speak with him about your fears.

bluefilm:
I think you have a point there.

There was a time I wanted to write some ghost stories.

I wanted to make it a truly scary something that will chill the blood of my readers.

I started imagining things.

Then it became scary.

Nobody told me to abandon the idea.

I swear. It was later when I told my mom what was happening to me then she said I was actually writing a true life event that happened in the time past. I was shocked. I was actually writing about the clash between Christianity and our traditional religion. The descriptions of the gods n their powers n all that,was amazing as they fit even though no one told me anything. I felt their energy around me.

emmahoney:
ATHEISM DID NOT KILL CHUKWUEMEKA BY ANTHONY OKOBI


People should be guided. I've come across posts, comments and their replies stating that Akachi's atheism necessitated his death. I'm not advocating atheism, but religious inclination, for me, isn't mandatory (I don't even think atheism is a religion). The walls of choice and freedom are built around life.


Let me say this. Akachi and I became friends under strange circumstances. You may not believe this, but I walked to him the first day I saw him. He dragged his feet out of his department, his face like a pensive fugitive. He was dressed in a somewhat worn-out attire. I didn't know what pushed me to talk to him about it that day, his footwear in particular. He laughed... The rest was history.


Even though he wasn't too open, he talked about a lot of things the first day he bought mishai for me. We talked at length. (He was extravagantly generous). He had discovered I write, too, and said he also liked my sense of humour. He said he was confused about life and love. He told me he didn't know what he wanted in life in general. That shocked me. That he can't love because he can't settle with anybody as a result of the inexplicable confusion. God knows I talked to him. I did. I made recommendations even. While I talked, he gaped at me interestedly, like I was a narrator in a moonlight tale. We sat opposite Eyo-Ita hostel that night. It was around 7. He told me he would think about everything I said and went home. To Town.


Akachi talked about his write-ups. He wanted to cry when he told me a publishing company rejected his chapbook. He told me he suffered for years to write it, to make it better. I told him my rejection stories, too. He cheered up a bit. But from what I saw, he couldn't cope with disappointment or rejection. He was momentarily disillusioned with a beleaguered life threatening to consume him inside out. He seemed helpless, like one predestined to undergo what he was undergoing.


This is a very controversial one. Akachi often behaved strange, like he had had gone nuts. He could ask you to hug him tightly in the middle of a road, or under the keen eyes of trouble-hungry onlookers. He would so loudly roar in laughter over a slight joke witnesses would chill with surprise. One day, I saw him walking to Green House. He was holding his footwear and walking on bare feet!!! I asked him the problem, he said something vague and went his way. You can verify from John Kennedy. We both saw him.
I remember I told him two things: first, he was mad. And I wasn’t joking. When some behaviours became scary, I even suggested he had an evil spirit (the idea that often accompanies a religious leaning) and that he needed spiritual help. From God. He told me He didn't care about God. In fact, I often chose my words to maintain our friendship. If he broke good news to me and I said, "I thank God," he would wince. Sometimes, I even told him to take it like that. But he would tell me he didn’t entertain religious talks for long. He told me about his online therapist. But then, he closed the chapter early and said the therapy wasn't working “effectively on his confusion about life” in particular, but he was fine, then. I spoke to him. When I tried to probe further, he said I should forget it.


I may not know his reasons for atheism despite his Christian background. It was a dreaded topic between us. It was like what he swore never to tell anyone. However, considering the little hints he gave and all, atheism isn't responsible for his suicide. Experiences and internal struggles may have contributed. Yet, I suspect there may be more to his action than meets his eye, but placing atheism as the chief reason is helplessly myopic.


Some may ask why I maintained he didn’t open up or didn’t show much that he needed help. Behaviourally, he presented his problems like casual problems; everyday problems a normal human being would overcome with time. Even when solutions were suggested, he didn’t take them serious, perhaps he thought they wouldn’t be effective or something made him wave them away and didn’t make himself available for a repeat of such talks, like his life was already summed up.


He said he stayed with a relative in Town. I don’t blame her if she didn’t observe because he put up some fronts to mask his problems (laughter, smiles, friendliness, hospitability). And I cry I didn’t unmask them like I would have loved to, like others may have loved to, too.


I must say he didn’t make himself available that much. We had our moments in flashes of opportunities

Wow! I guess he may have wandered too far in the unknown worlds through his write-ups. I don't know how real it is,but I felt things when I started writing. The more you try to explore and enquire the secrets of life,especially as a writer, different energies gather u—mostly the bad ones. And if one is not strong,he will be consumed. I was almost consumed by my own stories I was writing. Love,hate, life,religion, death,e.t.c, almost became meaningless to me,or only meaningful by my wish.

wildikeman:
I understand. But what if there is no hope and its already getting late for one to archive anything in this life.. Lets take the lady u fed life's for instance. She is hopeful to what end... I'm just stating that people's resilience to life are quite different. Some feeble and some solid.

Nobody really fancy killing himself if his challenges are taken care of,right? Why not put that effort into that? I have been suffering from a pain in my back since I fell from a ladder ten years ago. I am hopeful it will go. This said lady is also hopeful. She was worse than now but her nervous system is picking up slowly. she could move her hands n legs. She actually had the breakdown after overdosing on chloroquine drug.

wildikeman:
i hope you aren't the abusive type of Nigerian.. But i want to aak u this... To what end.... Whats the point of living? My take not everyone reasons like everyone. At least he died and didn't take anyone with him.

I don't know really to what point. But I understand that life does not give us all that we want all the time. And so should everyone commit suicide for that one challenge,then there wouldn't be anyone on this green planet.

EVILFOREST:
HONESTLY !!!
NAIRALAND needs to create a SUICIDE SECTION for those who are intending and also for those who have made up their minds to kill themselves.

-The Intending Ones should have a section.
-The established Ones should also have theirs.
-While the ALREADY DEAD, that’s the ZOMBIES should have theirs as well.

It’s like any bad thing weh waka for the world tire, then enter for Nigeria, dey make Nigeria its permanent Residence.
What’s all this Abeg...??

PLEASE, we need SUICIDE SECTION let’s see if we can address the problems of these SUICIDEES

Everyone thinks their case is the worst until they hear the next person's. Yesterday I decided to do a volunteer work by helping this lady who has been down of nervous failure for 25 years,who just lost her only son who still cared for her;,the rest have since abandoned her and pray she dies. It took me almost 2hours to only feed her. The pace was so slow and torturing I felt so depressed that I wonder if there is any condition as bad as this—all my personal worries gave way to this. For 25yrs?!! Despite all this,this woman is lively and hopeful. I could have choked on a pillow and died out of depression. But she still finds a purpose in her life...to stay alive.

Auxtin85:
A Nigerian man said to be a member of the Aye confraternity have been shot dead in Pretoria South Africa by a member of the Vikings confraternity yesterday.

The issue is said to have started as a result of a business gone wrong.

It has been Nigerians against Nigerians for some time now in South Africa.

Bro,how far! Abeg no vex,I for like ask a favour from you; seeing that you sought to help the other guy on that thread gave me hope and confidence to seek yours too. I am in a tight situation and need some cash to sort. Please,help me!!

SPOILT9JAOLOSHO:
Good morning Nairalander's

Please I need the input of doctor's/nurses/anyone that knows or experienced this child ailment before to help save my niece .

Here is the details..

My elder sister who lives in the east gave birth to her 3rd child, a baby girl in 2015 but she was born with this unknown ailment. It usually starts from the hand, they took her to hospitals but doctor's seemed uncertain of what the ailment was, they also took her to some other places trying to find solution to it but to no avail. Within few days it spread to her nails and they subsequently fell off. One week later it spread all over her body that if you lie her on the bed she cries all time due to the pain and when u raise her up her skin glues to the wrapper used in lying her down. After days of trying to find solution with no success they were confused. Then one early morning around 4am the father carried her to ease the pain and make her to stop crying without knowing the baby was dead 10 minutes ago, it was when they discovered they wept and made arrangements and buried her in the morning.

After that, they had another baby and she was free from it.

Now on May 8, 2019 she gave birth to a baby girl (photo attached) but the baby was born with this same deadly ailment. They took her to FMC they said it is "epidermolysis bollusa". Please I need information from anyone who knows about this ailment and how to cure it, I don't want a repeat of what happened last time abeg.


Mods*
Please make una help me push this to FP to save a soul

Thanks

Can u get a bottle of water? I will ask someone to pray for the baby,after then you bath her with the water and drink some. Let me know if you have gotten the water.

Really? You need to travel out and be stereotyped a little. Maybe you'll realise why it is said that dirty linen shouldn't be washed in public.

50cent,snoop Dogg,and co that sing about drugs n gang lifestyles,were they arrest? Not until they do the actual crime. They are not responsible for anyone's moral behaviour— schools and religious places are their for a reason. Besides these things they sing about actually happens in the society. As an art,they sing what is prevalent in order to cash out.

Naira Marley is not responsible for people's behaviour,especially adults who may listen to his songs. As far as he does not do the actual crime, then whatever he says in his song is a free speech. It is the responsibility of parents and the govt to give quality education to the people who will in turn have good understanding of things.

There are no perfect human on earth,knowing that helps solve a lot of ish. This very couple is still alive. When the man comes home smelling allover and abusing anything and anyone on sight, wife just make hot water for him without minding him. She then ask him to go n bathe; after that,he eats the food on the table and before u know,he is sleeping. When he wakes up fresh,this new creature is the best the wife ever has as they chat and laugh over everything. And that laughing and chatting is what neighbors hear and see. How that wife manages such a family is beyond compression.
