Nna men, the ugly side of the social media is really being exploited.
I thought credits were written on albums because I wonder at the necessity of the first tweet.
The second tweet ain't too bad but not necessary. Peter might not be as talented but he is putting himself out there; Paul, apart from P-square, what other artiste have you written for; if none, go to R.Kelly's school of song writing and learn from him
And those that think 'e no easy' is gospel are perhaps those that you guys dine with. If not na every song wey get God or halleluyah for be gospel. That song is purely a 'feel-good' song.

For him not to be able to hide the reaction, it must have been terrible. I feel bad for both the kisser and the 'kissee' (couldn't resist using that word) - the media is already on a roll

Super1759:
you ain't doing us good by keeping the evidences,please send it to me. Let's fight that devil out of Abia state. Let me send u a pm

I am not from Abia oh, na Akwa Ibom pikin I be. Don't worry, everyone knows Ochendo for what he is. Abia is the only result I am interested in because I desire change for her people.

Next time, post your evidence anonymously. Your life is precious biko. Crazy stuff happened yesterday but I no fit post and I am too lazy to open an alternate account. With the kain division wey dey dis kontri, wen dem kill you troway, some pipu go dey yab you ontop.

One Naija!

Bwahahahaha

1) a deeper life would not divorce you
There are christians that do not believe in divorce. My church doesn't believe in it, you cannot re-marry except your spouse dies

2) he cannot beat or slaps you
There are christians that do not believe in beating. My church doesn't believe in it too, women are to be cherished

3)he would always appologise for every offence he committed against you
Husbands love your wife was the commandment not apologise for every offence. Deeper life men as with other men in this world face frustration and sometimes it spills into the relationship

4) he understands you
This is no trait peculiar to a deeper lifer but to anyone who listens to his spouse

5)he would never do anything that can make you sad.
Is this a joke? :-/

6)he doesn't complain too much
But he complains? And here I thought he was a superman

7)he is always there for you
*slurps nosily on her green tea* You say?

he endures your behaviour rather than complaining.
From not complaining too much to endurance? Ha! *boils more water for her green tea*

9) he respects your inlaw and family members
He respects my inlaws? Aren't they his family? Would he be a good christian, if he didn't?

10)he cannot "touch" another woman not to talk of womanising.
let's not go down this route. I have seen many christians fall, even 'staunch' deeper lifers. I heard one last two weeks

(11)he fears God so much and he respects your (wife) opinion
*where is the darn mug? This water has boiled*

And so on and so forth. The most important thing is that a deeper life man would never divorce you irrespective of your behaviour or attitude.

While it isn't bad to project your church in a good light, you must be aware that there are others who may not be recognised but who also contend for the faith, the key thing is to contend for the faith. There would not be a different section for deeper lifers in heaven it sucks but you would have to share heaven with the rest of the believing christians Titus 3:2-7

Impressive art. *sighs* wish I could draw

Lmao. Reminds me of the last wedding I attended where the MC was mis-yarning.

There was a hitch with the food, people were seated but no food. The MC because of this tried to pass time. When the food finally arrived.
He apologised for taking time and said "I had to deliberately waste time for the couple because the food hadn't arrived yet, now it has"
I listened with my mouth agape.
He referred to the chief bridesmaid as a housegirl, so intermittently, you would hear him say 'housegirl, pick that stuff for the bride'
He called the groom's dance a 'coackroach' or 'scorpion' dance; I cannot remember which he actually used and said the groom's dance was a disgrace to mankind.

No source? You probably got it from Listverse, if no, please put the link to the source

Did you say she has Tuberculosis? She'd better go for test to be sure so she'd be referred to a Primary Health Centre...This is more important than hoping to catch her husband red-handed

How does he remember all their names without mistake? His face must be stretched wide from having to fake a smile all the time

tempest01:
I think Udom Emmanuel is the change and new breed needed in Akwa Ibom state keeping party affiliations aside.
He was also ssg, and given his experience rising to the top of his career with zenith bank, he has what it takes to move the state forward.

Umana umana is part of the old cabaI...his seeking of the governorship office made him decamp.


I think the only error Akpabio did was to give his zone the deputy governorship slot after doing 8 years. He should have given it to Uyo senatorial district.


But I am positive Udom will win nevertheless.

The issue of APC at the federal level shouldn't be a problem. Governors should be wise enough to be diplomatic so as to curry favour to their States, no matter the party affiliation

Without sentiments, your post is correct. Those that are against Udom are just sentimental. Umana is not what Akwa Ibom needs perhaps if it was 4 or 8 years ago, when anyone could become a governor without us caring about his antecedents.
People keep saying no state should be against the federal power but APC had states that were not in alignment with the center...so, what are people saying? Let PDP learn to be in the opposition and be diplomatic with the centre.
Cross River has been in alignment with the centre and yet Tinapa lay there as a monumental waste.
Akwa Ibom was in alignment with the centre but we did not really have a federal presence except in agriculture and that was a little. The road to Cross River from Akwa Ibom is in shambles, so what has an alignment brought us? Was Umana not part of the old government?

Now on to politics, Akpabio did wrong no doubt but Akpabio's control over Udom will greatly reduce because he will no more have a backing from the central government; Udom will no longer be a puppet as people are envisioning.

I grinned when I saw your designs. You are my kind of graphics person - beautiful minimalism with a good eye for blending well.

Disclaimer - This article does not intend any bias to any political party as the love for my country transcends being bound to a party's ideology; this is a neutral article that intends to point out the beauty of the opposition.

In early 2013, I watched a classic 'Les miserables'; this movie put most people off because it was a sung-throughout musical but it was pure heaven for people like me because of
1. The music
2. The story line
3. The intended message (s)
4. One of my favourite actress (Anne Hathaway)

I wrote a review on it immediately I finished watching that year and posted it on Naija Stories. If you stumble on the review, you might find it a bit incoherent because it was more of an emotional review. I digress.

The movie reminded me so much about Nigeria and our situation, most of which were expressed through the music 'Look down, you'll always be a slave' and 'At the end of the day' that I felt profound sorrow after watching.
For those of us who love reading historical books, novels and watching such movies; you'll agree that France went through many difficult periods but this article isn't about France and all her revolutions but on the particular message 'Les miserable' brought.

The message was 'the freedom of a country for the greater good of all will always rest on the sweat, tears and blood of just a tiny few'
Indeed, many people can talk about how cruel the authorities and how their policies are rarely people-oriented but few will stand before the said authority to protest because most people cling to the fact that dying in vain is worse than living in tears. Who no like im life?

I don't like APC maybe because of the calibre of people in it, while doing my I.T, I was there when Tinubu made his 'that Ota farmer' jab at the then president and also witnessed the level of politicking to which some 'preachers' - no jab intended at Osibanjo- sunk but I like what they have done so far in pushing to the fore the inadequacies of its arch rival, the PDP even though I do not like the barrage of insults at the office of the president or his family or the fact that their message is a pack of cards - change from a 'messiah'; not because I do not desire progress but because I see that the 'messiah' is bound by chains that he cannot readily extricate himself from. Let's face facts, the real change lies or is needed in the red and green chambers.

The PDP on the other hand, which I always refer to as a complacent party projects itself as a party of lazy people, pot-bellied and fat - no offense intended at fat or slim people - from the wealth of the land, refusing to look into the future but instead guiding the country with averted looks.
For example, early in 2014, in a gathering, I met a PDP campaign manager for someone who hadn't yet declared for a senatorial seat and I asked him this,
"How is it that people are hearing about APC on the radio, seeing them on Television, reading their opinions on Newspapers but hardly hear about the PDP?"
"It doesn't matter," he replied.
"Well, I think it does. APC realizes the power of the media especially the social media and I like the fact that they are utilizing it."
"Look, young lady. How many people do you think are online? It doesn't matter if they talk from today till tomorrow, it changes nothing. People know what PDP has achieved and will look at that. Have you not seen agriculture? Forget those people"

What is wrong with the above conversation? The inability of PDP in seeing the changing times. Their inability to see that it has gone beyond NTA. Yes, I have seen agriculture and its effect already in the markets (availability of foodstuffs minus the pricing) but if I didn't live so close to fresh food, I wouldn't have noticed. That is if I was still in Lagos, I doubt I would have noticed the changes.
Will their complacency have any bearing on the coming elections in a few days? It might not be a gigantic factor just yet but APC has sown a mustard seed - the social media - which will blossom into a huge tree either now or in the next 4 years.

The 2 parties have their campaign anomalies, like the APC trying to push the SS and SE into a guilt trip about tribalism, religious and sentimental voting when almost all the Northerners have gone home ready to do the same, tribalism, religious and sentimental voting.
Or the PDP trying to toy religiously and politically with our feelings as regards Boko Haram, in an aim to get votes from those willing to forget.

So, why should kudos be given to APC self? Because whatever happens on Saturday, any serious opposition will learn to harness the power of the social media for the next 4 years, imagine controlling two elements; the grassroots (ones with no access to the social media) and the social media especially as there is bound to be an increase in smart phone owners.
It is worthy to note that, the social media even as a beneficial tool can be ruthless because it brings forth a social awakening that once awoken cannot be put to sleep either temporarily or permanently, in other words, there is no going back from this road.

So, the 'true' progress seekers in the country from the opposition party should regardless of Saturday's result be proud of this, that they awoken, that they dared and that they believed.

The correlation between that revolution albeit failed in Les Miserable and that of APC is the sown 'seed', the only difference being in the blood shed.

I cannot resist adding this song from 'Les Miserable' to this article.

Do you hear the people sing?
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again;
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drum
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

God bless Nigeria!

That's quite a piece! See the stones , dunno if I like the unique face though

Na youthful gra gra dey do you. Calm down first and think of these:

*What's your life aim? Do you just want to make money first, then get an education or you want an education, then work or you want to combine both?
None is an easy route.

*How best can it be achieved?
Leaving your sponsor's house and staying alone or with friends? Staying with your sponsor?

Personally, I think your boss is nice enough to want to sponsor your education without you having to work yourself to death for it.
However, since you blew this year's jamb and next year is still many months away, approach your boss and tell him you need a daytime job like with a business centre or want to learn a skill. Point out that you do not want to stay idle till lessons for next year's jamb begins. I do not think he will turn down that request.

I don't want to touch on your addiction to sport betting since you do not want any moral or religious view, you might be better off with lessons from experience or not.

Your decision to leave was the best, considering the reasons you mentioned above.

Wow, its nice to see that you had the courage to tell your parents about your sexuality, especially with living in a country as ours.

I just wish you the best as you undertake this new phase of your life

His parents doesn't know he is gay yet. The move is probably to steel his heart when they find out or not than be bombarded with prayers, admonitions and other means.

@OP Congrats for moving out. It's true you get to discover yourself while alone. As for the sad faces, it's still fresh with time they'll adjust.

My only advice is not to cave into the pressure of marrying a girl to please your parents except the girl knows your sexuality beforehand but doesn't care.
