Reading the various comments reminds me to be grateful for my situation no matter how hard it seems. I've lost a few acquaintances and peers over the years but never anyone really close to me.
To those who have, all I can say is 'It shall be well'.

Simply amazing. This is pure talent. How much do they go for, i.e, price range?

You forgot to include Sprint chewing gum and Toffee sweet. Mesef don old small o.

Still trying to make sense? The sense came out of the first episode na. It's nice one just that drama unfolds each episode.

Jlo na star and I don't think she would be killed easily by her boss cos of informant issues... D thing go drag ehn

Yes, that's exactly what I meant by making sense of it. I'm wondering where all that would lead.

Hmmm. Aging gracefully.

Here's a more serious question: what's a woman's birthday and gender after marriage? A wife should adopt her husband's birthday and gender.

Abi o. Funny but just to show how a woman seems to no longer have an identity after marriage.
This is not to the OP - I know he asked an honest question.
Just a general remark.

firstking01:
For me, listening to kenny G's jazz takes me to the 3rd heavens, esp, this track...by the time this night is over

Love me some Kenny G too. Night is over is dope.
Michael Bolton is also a favourite of mine.

*deitrick "the greatest" is like medicine to me...I play it daily. I rehearsed "amen" one time, wanted to sing it in church but later chickened out.

You are a christian girl, Hopefully a good one. Will you marry me? I ve been looking for U.

Lol @ chickened out.
That song is really really good.

Dietrick Haddon - sinner's prayer, amen, resting place, the greatest, church on the moon etc
Damita Haddon - no looking bark
Trey Songz - your side of the bed
Hezekiah Walker - finally
Sam Smith - stay with me, not in that way etc
Blake Shelton - God gave me you, who are you when I'm not looking etc
Dare - pray for me
Donnie McClurkin - just for me, days of elijah etc
John Legend - glory, you and I etc
Brandy - missing you
Sammy Okposo - high love

I could go on and on.

No I haven't seen it, lemme know if it's worth my time.

What's the plot?

So far, JLo's character is a cash-strapped single mom who is part of a corrupt police unit which covers up police recklessness/mistakes, arrest bad guys who don't co-operate and collect money from those that do. She falls victim to an FBI set-up and must become a mole or else go to jail. How long she can carry on without being caught remains to be seen.
It's worth the while of one who is patient enough for plot and character build-up.

Anyone watching shades of blue? Stars Jennifer Lopez, Ray Liota and Dayo Okeniyi. In its third episode now; still trying to makes sense of it. What's your take?

analice107:

I agree with u sir.
Most Nigerians are lazy, and expect to be pushed all the time to do something. Some people are Physically and spiritually.
Especially spiritually. Most of us don't pray, I mean commune with God. We just go to church hoping that the pastor will perform miracles and gives us exactly what he desire.
There are principles guiding every ordnance in the scripture, but how many of us are applying or engaging those principles? It's just words. Most "Pastors" now know that, people will rather claim their blessings, than work them out, so have taken advantage of that angle, and are doing more harm than good.

Like LordReed said, it's meant to spur us up to engage the spiritual more, but engaging the spiritual without engaging in physical work, will amount to failure at the end of the year.

People are spiritually so lazy, that they rather let the pastor read the Bible, and regurgitate to them. What the Op is saying is so true, but how many read to know for themselves? And Satan ceasing the occasion, has build a monument of deceit in church.

Has anyone noticed that this fake pastors and prophets hold their church services on week days and during working hours? There's one close to my house. Tuesday 9am they have started, till 5pm. After which many will stay back to get personal prophecies from the prophet. Sometimes 10pm this folk are still in church.
Every other day is counselling. And to see the prophet, you buy a pass of 5,000.00k. Am serious. Not exaggerating.
Whatever you need the prophet to do for you, he charges according to your age. That's outside additional charges that accrues as you proceed.

How old are you?
40yrs. What do you want?
A husband.
Fine.
Your assignment fee is 40,000.00.

I know a family who brought their son who had health challenge. He was kind of mental. He charged them 300,0000.00 for their assignment fee. But they ended up living in that church premises for two good years. Money kept coming out of them. He told them he needed to go to their village to dig out a charm buried by their enemy, if not, the boy won't be well. But for that two years, he never found time to go. The boys father sold his land to see that his boy became well again. Yet nothing. At last, it became a very serious issue, to take his family out of the place, because the boys mother wont go home or accept to find help some where else. The prophet had her hypnotised, and all says was, "my Papa said".
Other methods had to be engaged to deliver this family out of that place.
Satan in the details.

Hmmm. People perish for lack of knowledge.

sonOfLucifer:

Praying for the year and hoping for a successful year is one thing. But failing to plan for the year, understand economic trends, and plan accordingly doth not a prayer help.
This cat can see a lion in the mirror. No matter how strong its beliefs are, the cat would never be able to roar.


The world the Bible paints is far removed from the world in which millions of desperate Nigerians live in. Most of our academic institutions are glorified 'CERTIFICATE' centers. Rather than instill knowledge, they instill 'KNOWledge'; who you know na im u go use make am. There's little to no emphasis on basic virtues like trust, love, social responsibilities and how we are our society. These ideals are critical and necessary for a society to function optimally.

And so they've become a mockery,a charade. They preach lofty ideals on the pulpits, while corrupt politicians line the the front rows. 'The little kid sees this, he sees this clearly 'It's all about power. Get money, get power, then come dine with GOD'..

The solution isn't more Bible study, Nigerians have done enough of that. It's time to put our brains to use. You don't have to be a mumu to go to heaven.

U don talk am finish.
Religion in Africa is synonymous with 'don't use your brain'. You see those who tag you fake christian or rebellious because you don't sow seed or pay tithe coming to you (who decided to save or invest your money) for help in desperate situations. You begin to wonder if what they is real at all.
No matter how religious one is, a lack of planning will always mess you up. Nigeria being so religious yet so chaotic is a perfect example.

vosquare:

Lol. Na my mama be dt. Yet she'll insist you make it hot.

Did I just read Coca-cola will rebrand? What is happening to religion/spirituality nowadays? Does one need to be a prophet to know that? Rebranding is Coca-cola's second name hence their continued dominance of the soda market.

Glory by John Legend and Common for the movie Selma.

[quote author=Joel3 post=41340348]even when I am concluding not to get married, seeing this post and reading from up to down it only gives me more assurance that I had always been right.

in my dictionary marriage is the biggest scam in 21st century. very soon in 22nd century it will be too obvious and clear to all. I need no marriage neither do I need a kid.

just me only after all the world is full of nonsense. I am fed up and tired. their is no meaning we all will die. and here comes tales of hell fire. so I don't want to bring anybody to this world to suffer in any form. enjoy and while it last. good bye.

@Joel3 Believe me I know that feeling. I also don't understand all that's going on in the world.
My greatest desire which I strive, dream and hope for is to leave an eternal legacy upon the earth. Anything else na jara.

If you can't cry in front of your own woman shey na women's meeting u wan go cry ni? Abeg if sumtin pain u well well cry it out. It's okay to be human. Even bible sef talk say 'Jesus wept'. Wetin cum b ur own?

Dare Alade - Pray for me. Timi Dakolo - Wish me well comes a close second. Adekunle Gold- Pick up is starting to grow on me. In short, Nigeria's got talent.

Hahahahaa. You've got to love nigerians; finding fun in depressing moments. Beginning to think we truly are the happiest people on earth.

This man doesn't stop inspiring me even in death. Forever inspired by his short but salient 'seven blunders of the world'.
Does anyone in the house know if a biography was published about him, please?

Wonder what the world would have been like without science and technology. With gadgets you learn without paying and explore the world whilst sitting. Thanks explorer. Your topics usually make my day.

So someone shares my views. The song might not be totally wack but Asa was lost in it. She added no redeeming quality to the song, cos it was different from her style and way beneath her talent.

What a pitiful death.
I carry a lot of change in my purse because of situations like this. Many of the conductors no get ambition pass dt dia agbero work and dm no get who dy miss dm. I still get pipu wy lik me small, let me try staying alive for them.
Condolences to the family of the deceased.

Lol. Experienced such many years back. The goat succeeded in taking the leaf of the agidi but I was fast enough to grab what was left of the meal. Stubborn goats

Why d guy look like charly boy like dis?

Empire's Season two is showing its flaws....the storyline is getting weaker

True. No story again, just music and meaningless squabbles. Still to understand what Hakeem's kidnap adds to the overall plot. I don't see this series going further than 3 seasons if they are lucky.

Daniel Craig. At least James Bond is human now.
