God always like things done the right way not the way that seemeth right. If not, David would have been able to carry the ark of God home the 1st attempt, King Saul would have remained King after sparing the King and keeping the spoils. Obedient is better than sacrifice.
Note: I'm not disputing your suggestions in it's entirety.
missjane: OP I wish I had a father like yours. You are blessed. I would give anything to be in your shoes. My father is a deeply occultic man and you can imagine the state of affairs in my family. I have prayed tirelessly for his repentance but it seems it's nothing is happening.. Pls every day u kneel to pray, thank God first that you have a father who is going to any lenght to make sure you make Heaven n bond with Jesus whether he is going about it the right way or not.
Your father mean well for you is why he reacts this way... and sometimes going over the board. You should be happy you have a father calling you and looking out for you and not only asking for money for this or for that. I would call him back and apologize for hanging up on him, then have a man to man talk with him. He should realize that you are an adult now and should be treated as one. You don't run from your problems but face it.

You probably have something to say but your use of such words as I have strike-through has made it impotent as far as I am concerned. From your write up, I sense that you are in Nigeria, if not you won't be talking like this. If you lived in the US as I am, you will know that Nigerians have one of the finest talents in the world. This is why they are making it here. You can't just downgrade them because of the environment they find themselves. I will stop here.
TomjoTM: Coming from a barrage of hot 7-9 courses from OAU, 4 courses is nothing, and coupled with the fact that she's naturally good and in a very conducive environment for learning, it's safe to say it's expected. But then again she would have finished with a first class in OAU, if you are exceptional, you are exceptional any where.
Is it loyalist we want or good fit. That is how they put round pegs in square holes.
Eniola Akinkuotu, Abuja
Governor Nasir el - Rufai of Kaduna State says President Muhammadu Buhari appointed Aisha Alhassan as a minister despite complaints by the leadership of the All Progressives Congress .
El - Rufai lambasted the Minister of Women Affairs for being disloyal to the President , adding that she was never a Buhari supporter but a loyalist of former Vice - President Atiku Abubakar .
The governor said this while speaking with State House Correspondents at the Villa on Friday.
El - Rufai said Alhassan did not also vote for Buhari during the APC presidential primary.
He advised Nigerians not to be surprised or shocked at her outburst .
He, however, said her retention or otherwise as a cabinet minister should be at the discretion of the President.
They detained you, but why did you have to transfer money to them to release you? I smell a rat here. Let's assume worst case scenario, you don't have money, what would become of you in detention? Die? Your mumu don do. Wake up!
Talk2Bella: I fear who talk say marriage no de fear am.. (Isabella)
I have written severally about marriage, how it is an institution and not a home of restitution, marriage is a graduate school where if we choose we can decide to go for Masters and PhDs, it is a process of learning, what I'm I trying to say? Marriage is a continuous study where we learn everyday and also have patience with our teachers, in this case our spouses
I have seen so many people ( women especially) jump and rush into marriage due to pressure, money, envy, spite, or she just wants to be a MRS. It is worse when you see an 18 year old lady fantasizing about marriage, using Amara Kanu as an example, she is amongst the 1% early marriage will work for, she has sense, patience, charisma and a good tolerant husband.
I was with four ladies yesterday who had something in common, they'd gotten married too soon, too early and two of them have been chased out of their homes while the other two hate their husbands with passion, one of them is the breadwinner so she says her husband had no say in their home.
The lady lying down was sent out or her husband's house after he got rich, she gave birth to two boys before she was sent packing, before she was sent packing the husband impregnated a woman older than she was and brought her home, this older woman has kids who she in turn brought to her new husband's house lol.
The other lady has just one girl, while the one screaming she hates men has four kids, she says she hasn't enjoyed sex for one day that the husband only has sex with her to impregnate her.
The other lady says she doesn't respect her husband anymore so she does with him as she pleases.
They were all trying to convince me how men are scum and shouldn't be handled with soft hands, in my heart I wept, my father wasn't scum to my mother, my brother isn't scum to his girlfriend, no man has ever treated me like scum, how do I convince these Women that they have a share in the blame too? I sat there consoling these ladies crying, look at me in my 20's consoling women old enough to birth me.
Marriage isn't a do or die affair, I have heard mockery statements about how Ibo women don't marry early because they like to hustle and make money, but these early marriage traits are rampant amongst Ibo women, it is a thing of pride to see their daughters get married early and also give birth early, this doesn't mean only Ibo women are guilty, far from it, it has become a general issue; it might have worked for our ancestors but we live in different times now.
One day my mother said to me " Ifeoma 30 is the right age for a woman to get married" in my heart I said what's she talking about now, but today I can see it, most ladies aren't mentally matured enough to look after themselves not to talk of getting married.
My heart aches when I see children from broken homes, I was a product of one before my parents got back together and then my dad died, I do not wish single parenthood on any child, except death was the case. These women haven't seen their kids for long because their husbands won't allow it, they can't go to court because they aren't educated, they were chased out like common thieves and other women brought in.
Education and skills acquisition remains the best legacy, always have a backup\breakup plan because no one knows tomorrow. Marriage isn't a source or income, be financially free and independent. See where these women live, they don't have a dime to their names and no skills to support themselves.
I hope someone learns from this, I tried to convince them not all men are scum but their minds are made up, I fear for the husband of that lady who hates men I hope he amends his ways so we won't read a gory story about a wife murdering her husband.
Sharaap ya dirty mouth. What have you done for your family? Not your street o, talkless your community. Jealousy go kill you!!!!
omonla555: He is doing it for his fatherland, so Eto, Drogba and others have done same even C. Ronaldo for Portugal.
It is no news.
What is the fuse about what I wrote here? I don't owe anyone apology for this comment. Nigeria made Mikel and he is giving back to the country. Other stars have done same to their fatherland. Some people just hate Nigeria for a futile agitation for a country that may never be. We have no other country than Nigeria and I want to let you guys know that, there is no amount of hatred or curse you place upon Nigeria that you will not be a partaker. What have I said to warrant some guys saying rubbish or bad belly? Mikel has not done enough and will still do more.
On point jare. I don't deal with people like that who thinks they are Mr. Perfect. He selects posts he responds to. The ones he knows he can comfortably challenge.
dynamix101: Op u tried but u need to calm down. from ur opening sentence to ur last u sound brash, proud, insensitive and rude. if u are truly teachable, why ignore many sound corrections that have been given? instead u are callously declaring war on d corrections u feel are wrong whilst ignoring others. u cant survive in a real classroom; u need to learn to be humble and ready to learn. if u like kwarel me, i have spoken.
Both of you are wrong. Since neigbhourhood is not a human being, you can't say "neighbourhood's shop" nor "neighbourhood shop" Instead you would say "shop in the neighbourhood". Just like saying "table's leg" or "table leg" are both wrong, instead you say "leg of table". But with humans you can make it possessive like, "David's leg".
weblord1900: OP no vex o. is it neighbourhood shop or neighbourhood's shop
Dear VO, based on the above links as reference, would a case like this below be a disqualification? Oct/Nov: Entered the DV lottery as single Dec: Got married June: Checked the ESC page and found that he won, submitted the 230 and 122 forms to KCC with spouse as derivative.
Is the above case not an extenuating circumstance? Life certainly must go on, visa shouldn't dictate the progress of life. Besides, it is a very bonafide relationship.
Dear VO, appreciate your good work here. I have a question. I am married, I did the wedding in a church where I was issued a wedding certificate. It's the official certificate from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The issue here is that, I have seen other wedding certificates from friends which is also the same with mine, but mine does not have a stamp from the court, because they did court marriage. Is mine valid? Although, my spouse and I have every prove and can convincingly defend our relationship as a bonafide one. I am just worried that mine doesn't carry stamp. What do you think? Thanks.
