Nice interpretation. Even though we were forced to recite it and know the meaning yet so many children of Yoruba extraction are relying on toutism and baba ijebu to make it in live. Even the govt too are encouraging toutism

u are very right

Good bt only 3 are aplicable here

This is damn serious oo

misterme:
I listened to that tape today & I am shocked. We Southern Christians are obviously unaware of what the Holy Spirit is saying in the now. Somebody should wake us up fast. We are at the verge of loosing our Christian heritage. I am going to use whatever means available to me to circulate that tape. I am worried and agitated. Every Nigerian Christian should listen to this tape over and over again until the truth sinks and we are galvanized into taking action, individually-by serious prayers, dissemination of info about the Islamic Agenda, collectively, by formulating our own Christian Agenda that will center on how to counter the islamization of Nigeria. Christians wake up. Our Chritian leaders are not in tune with what is happening. Each Leader is building his own kingdom on earth and fighting over trivialities. They are unable to see the larger picture. Men and Brethren wake up

. How do we get the audio

Thumbs up to them. I rep naija

THE Akwa Ibom State choral group has broken the world record for the largest number of Christmas carol singers in the world. The record, which has been officially certified by the Guinness World Records and pasted on its website, www.guinessworldrecords.com, was broken by the unity choir, a 25,272 man-choral group, in a concert in the Uyo Township Stadium on Saturday, December 13, 2014 with Guinness World Records representatives in attendance.  The record consigned to the history books the former record of 15,674 carol singers, which was achieved the previous year (December 15, 2013), by a group known as CENTI in Bogota, Columbia.
The Akwa Ibom unity choir sang a medley of The First Noel, Joy to the World, O Christmas Tree, Hark the Herald the Angels Sing, Once in Royal David’s City and O Come All Ye Faithful in an electrifying rendition which lasted more than twenty minutes.

Guinness World Records adjudicator, Liz Smith, who did the announcement in Guinness World Record Headquarters, London, United Kingdom congratulated the choir and said “It is now time to reveal the report of the official attempt to break the Guinness World Record of the largest group of carol singers. Our team of highly trained record specialists have reached a decision. The record to beat was 15,674. I can now confirm that your attempt to break the record has been successful. Congratulations on receiving a new Guinness World Records Title. The title of the largest group of carol singers has been achieved by Godswill Akpabio Unity Choir. You are officially amazing.”
Breaking the news to Akwa Ibom people, Governor Godswill Akpabio said “This month, we broke the Guinness Book of World Records, for the largest number of carol singers ever in the world. This momentous feat was achieved when Akwa Ibom people drawn from all the nooks and crannies of the state came together in the spirit of love and brotherhood. I believe that if we imbibe the virtue of love and stand together in brotherhood in the New Year, we would keep setting records and the walls of division, which have been erected by some selfish politicians, would tumble down.”
In his comments the Permanent Secretary, Protocol, Akwa Ibom State Government, and organizer of the record-breaking choir, Mr Aniekpeno Tom Mkpanang, described the Guinness World Record as “another feather to the cap of a record breaking governor who has already garnered record breaking accolades and honours for his great visionary leadership from the academia, churches, traditional institutions and the global community. Many of these institutions are places you cannot buy records from, which dispels the notion of sceptics that most such awards are bought. With this record from Guinness, earth and heaven celebrate him.”

Aitee1:
Op this is new year change your ways...first remove the plaque from your eyes

my dear I will invite u for my wedding soon

1.Those who can never say, “sorry”

They would hurt you, annoy you, disappoint you, but would never apologise, because they believe that it would belittle and demean them. When you are wrong, you apologise to them, and when you are right, you still apologise to them, hoping that that they would change. But they never do. You start to feel irritated and agitated. The love and respect you felt for them start to wear away.

2.Those who can never say, “Thank you”

Whatever you do for them, they are never grateful. “Why should I say, ‘Thank you’ when you are just doing your duty?” Some would say that their gratitude is in their heart. Do you have to open a heart to see the gratitude and get it? Such an attitude causes irritation and frustration and unhappiness. Such people also believe the world owes them a lot. They go around their activities with an entitlement mentality. They are difficult to please.



3.Those who have excessive libido or inadequate libido

Sexual intercourse is a very important factor in marriage, but when you have a spouse that needs it for breakfast, lunch and supper, it is difficult to have any peace in the family. Infidelity also knocks on door. On the other hand, when you have a spouse that hates sex or thinks that sex should only be had once a year during the wedding anniversary or birthday celebration, there is also trouble in the house, and infidelity is usually a challenge.

4.Men who think women are to be seen but not heard

Some men still live in the 18th century, in spite of the depth of education they profess. It is true that marriage is not a zone for feminist crusade, but if a man has archaic views about women, then, please avoid him like an Ebola patient. Watch out for statements like: “How can an ordinary woman want to be the CEO?” “How can a woman chat with men?”

5.Women who believe they don’t need men in their lives

Such women believe that they are self-sufficient in all things. They have the I-don’t-give-a-damn attitude. Men feel ill at ease when they are with women who don’t allow a room in their lives for a man to fill. Such women find it difficult to express love. They fly into quarrels easily. This creates frustration and conflicts.

6.Men who are looking for housemaids, not wives

These are men who still live in the 15th century. They have an archaic idea of what the role of wives is. They believe that women are only meant to cook, clean the house, bear children, and serve the men.

They believe that when the men talk, women must just obey. The man can keep mistresses, but the woman should keep quiet and not even be seen greeting a man. A woman should not work, should not step out of the house, and should not complain whatever the man doles out to her.

7.Those who can never trust anybody

These are those who believe that everybody is a dangerous enemy that has evil designs against them. They have an obsession with fear of people, including their spouse, that it is irritating. Once a spouse cannot be trusted, there can never be joy in the family.

8.Those who have no respect for others

People can mouth love, but without respect, a marriage can never be happy. Women who love to prove a point by insulting their husbands, or men who believe in treating their wives without dignity in the name of cutting their wives to size: such people make terrible marriage partners.

9.Women who see all men as competition that must not be given an inch

Marriage is not a place for activism. A woman who sees a man as a competitor rather than a complement is a dangerous person to marry. When a man has to contend with a woman every minute, when a man is always too conscious of what to say or do to his wife, then there is a problem.

10.Those who can’t control their temper

Hot-tempered people are dangerous. They can utter anything in anger. They can do things that they will regret for life. They can be violent. Their words can be venomous. They can put you in trouble.

11.Those who cannot forgive

Forgiveness makes us look superhuman. But there are those who cannot forgive, no matter the circumstances. Not only can they not forgive, they can also not forget. Because they can’t forgive, they usually think of how to get revenge.

12.Those who have not been weaned by their parents

Age has little to do with maturity in marriage. Those who have not been “weaned” by their parents make poor marriage partners. They are full of “Mummy said”, “Daddy said”. They take every family discussion to their parents. They cannot do anything unless their parents approve. They allow their parents to run their homes in the name of showing respect to the mother-in-law or father-in-law.

Those who are tied to the apron strings of their parents make marriage tasteless. Such spouses are as a constant source of frustration and sadness. You will always be wrong. You will always be vilified.

In summary, marriage is not a bed of roses. There is nobody without some faults or idiosyncrasies. But it is foolhardy to walk into a landmine with one’s eyes open, praying and hoping that the explosive would not go off.


To avoid heartache, neither blind love nor desperation to get a married should push a bachelor or spinster to jump into a marriage with someone that will cause nothing but pain, sadness, and sorrow.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in collaboration with all Nigerian Banks has introduced the Bank Verification Number (BVN) as a unique identification number for all Bank customers. CBN have advised Bank customers to enroll and obtain their BVN. This is the first phase of the countrywide roll out. In view of this, all Nigerian Banks have their headquarter servers configured, deployed and tested, and their staff trained in preparation for the enrolment and verification of end users who are all Bank customers.

The Bank Verification Number (BVN) gives each Bank customer a unique identity across the Nigerian Banking industry. This can be used for easy identification and verification of Bank customers. The BVN initiative is part of the overall policy of the financial inclusion policy of the Financial Sector Strategy (FSS) agenda of ensuring Nigeria becomes one of the top 20 largest economies in the world by 2020.

The Enrollment Process:
Commenting on the enrollment process, the Managing Director of NIBSS, who doubles as the Head of the BVN Project Management team, Mr. Ade Shonubi said, “the enrolment process is simple and easy”. A bank customer will be required to walk into any of the selected bank branches; fill and submit the BVN Enrolment Form; present self for data capturing (such as Fingerprint, facial Image, etc.) Thereafter, an acknowledgment slip with the transaction ID will be issued to the individual. Within 24hours the system confirms the enrollment and a unique BVN is generated. The customer will immediately receive an SMS notification with the BVN.

He further explained that in order to ensure an efficient implementation, a phased rollout approach is being adopted beginning in Nigeria. Biometric data capture machines have been deployed to about all branches in nigeria, to date over 16,000 BVNs have been issued; At full roll out, 10,000 enrolment sets will be deployed across 5,000 Bank branches nation-wide

This enrollment process is done only once and your BVN will be linked to all your Bank accounts across Nigeria Banks.

“The BVN solution is to ensure accountability, protect Bank customers’ account from unauthorized access, reduce exposure to fraud, check identity theft, enhance credit advancement to Bank customers, and also encourage financial inclusion.”

This initiative addresses issues of identity theft and ensures that your bank accounts is protected from unauthorized access,, thus reducing your exposure to fraud. This solution will promote a safe and sound financial system in Nigeria, especially as it will keep records of suspected fraudulent individuals in the banking system.

It will make life and banking operations easy for bank customers as BVN is accepted as a means of identification across all banks in Nigeria. This will improve speed of service and reduce queues in banking halls.

At the point of enrolment individuals shall be required to submit an acceptable means of identification, and update their information at the bank branch physically.

Customers of banks will be required to enroll within a fixed period after which they shall no longer be able to operate their bank accounts.

Happpy for him,hardwork pays.

1. Be ready to commit.

You may say “this is common sense” but you’d be surprised at the number of guys who have told me, “find me a wife” but then when the time comes, they get nervous or start to envision all the girls they can still “have”. Being ready to commit to marriage is being sure that you have either got all your “playing” done or having no desire to “play” anymore. More so, marriage requires stability. Before getting ready to take the leap, get your life together… job, stable mind, emotions, finances, stability all around.

2. Stop dating just to date.

Quit playing around. Agreed, especially if you’re good “husband material”, there will be flocks of girls who are vying for your attention or who your family and friends are trying to “hook” you up with. Worse still, you may see all your friends, either married or in relationships, always have dates to events. Don’t be pressured into dating a girl you know you don’t want to marry, even if you think she knows this. Not only will you save her the heartbreak of holding onto nonexistent hope, you’ll save yourself the pain of breaking it off when the time comes.

While dating is good for love, friendship, and companionship, don’t assume you have to be in a relationship all the time to get this. While you can get those or at least a version, from other relationships, being picky about who you jump into relationship with, will give you time, to even get to know yourself better.

Another consequence of dating someone you have zero intention to marry, is that they “block” your real wife. If not by turning off women who would’ve been interested, I believe in the unexplainable power of blocked blessings. If someone is standing in the way, for some reason, the universe finds it more difficult to move the right person your way. And even when it happens, it’s harder for you to recognize her. I’m an avid witness of several occasions where a person stays in a fruitless relationship for so long to no end but the minute they break clean of it, their “one” appears. Just like that. It happens, everyday.



3. Make a reasonable list.

One of the first steps to finding what you want is knowing what you want. There are the usual nonnegotiable suspects for a good wife: trustworthy, loyal, keeps you grounded, emotional stability, shares your beliefs, ambitious, selfless, humble, makes the efforts with your family, loves you unconditionally and goes the extra mile to make you happy. But then no one knows you better than yourself. Take the time out to put to paper all the things that will “compliment” you and your personality. If you’re disorganized, a wife who’ll keep you in order may be what you need. If you spend a lot of money, a financially-responsible wife may be what your future family would need. One of my male friends, who is a social butterfly, once broke off a relationship because he said he couldn’t marry someone who couldn’t handle his personality. While a very social man should make the effort to make sure his wife is comfortable when they are out in public, it is important for that kind of man to marry a confident, strong and equally sociable woman who can hold her own and doesn’t expect to be baby-sat in public. In the same light, if you’re a man who has a lot of female friends, its important to marry a wife who doesn’t get uncomfortable or jealous easily. Especially if your career, (salesman, DJ, etc), requires you to continually socialize, you need a woman who’ll support you and knows when to give you space.

More so, it’s been wisely said that you should only marry a woman who you’ll want your daughters to emulate. Envision what you want your daughters to be like, and watch your “requirements” align. After all, your wife will be your daughters’ first role model.

4. Look beyond the physical.

Open your mind. Recognize your Michelle Obama when you see her. Like I said in 7 Keys to Finding a Good Husband, marriage is deeper than looks. Looks fade but the deeper qualities last forever. Sometimes, you get surprised when you see a hot man or woman with a less than attractive partner, you wonder “I wonder what he is doing with that girl”. Hellooo, she must be giving him something that’s deeper than your eyes can see.  Of course, you want to be attracted to your wife, so that you don’t have to look else where. But, there are many other wife qualities that beat out physical beauty. Again, you want a wife who is supportive, upgrades you,trustworthy, loyal, keeps you grounded, shares your beliefs, ambitious, selfless, humble, makes the efforts with your family, loves you unconditionally and goes the extra mile for you and your relationship.

5. Tell people you trust.

An alarming number of good relationships and marriages have been born out of ‘introductions’. It could be a simple, “hey Obi, meet me cousin Ify” that’ll wake cupid up. Tell family and friends that you trust that you are ready for a wife and they may know or come across someone who’ll fit you perfectly. Just like a CEO, you can’t be everywhere at every time and your two eyes can only go so far. So, make your loved ones your agents and before you know it, they may give you a lifetime link. And yea, notice the words, “loved ones” and “trust”…only these kind of people have your best interests AND know you well enough to know a good match for you.

I must note here, that a major determinant of the success of an introduction is how all the parties involved handle it. This may require an entire new post, but here’s the ABC of it. If you made the introduction, once you connect them, you’ve done your part. Besides the occasional, how’s “that” going?, stay away and let cupid do its work, or not. NO pressure needed. If you’re the person who’s being introduced, approach it as a friendship. Keep an open mind, Thread carefully and be mature enough to understand that this connection could mean many things: the wedding of your dreams, a new job, a friendship or nothing at all. For everyone involved, both connected and connector must determine that no matter how it turns out, it shouldn’t affect the original relationship/friendship. Basically, don’t blame the connector if it doesn’t work out.

6. Be prayerful.

It goes without saying that God’s hand has to be in this decision because finding a good life partner is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your lifetime. Say a short prayer to this end as often as you can. It may be as simple as “Dear God, you know me more than I know myself. Please guide me to my wife and open my eyes enough to recognize her. Amen”. See, simple

7. Be a Good Man.

Similar vibes are attracted to each other. To even deserve a good wife, you need to be a good person. So while you look for your “good” wife, take the time to dust up the “good” in yourself. Quit the “asshole” behaviors, learn to care about other people’s feelings, be considerate and be nice! You’d be amazed at how focusing on being good to even yourself will attract the best of people to you.

8. Do your research.

In Igboland, its called “iju ase”, literally meaning to ask around. It’s very important that once you find a “potential” wife, that you find someone who knows her. Of course, there’s the valid argument that everyone make mistakes and change. If you find a good wife who has a questionable past, you should be mature enough to give them the chance to explain, then decipher what information matters and which you can look past. However, a decision is strong when it is informed. If you’re reading this and you have something questionable in your past, regarding yourself or your family, that could discourage a potential husband/wife, honesty and transparency are your best friends. Instead of being afraid of your past and keeping it a secret, tell it like it is. If its meant to be, the past won’t matter.

9. Let go of the past.

A lot of bad boys are former broken-hearted good boys. You can’t be a good husband if you haven’t forgiven your ex for breaking your heart. Before you can be a good husband, you have to be able to open your heart and show your weaknesses to another person. To do this, you’ll need to make up your mind not to punish your wife for the mistakes of your past.

10. Choose your friend.

When picking a wife, don’t underestimate the power of friendship. There’s no worse mistake that rushing into a marriage with someone who isn’t your friend. Unless you want a “wife” who just cooks, cleans and has kids for you but can’t connect with you emotionally or intellectually, marrying your friend is imperative. Ask the important questions: Can you easily talk to each other? Can you communicate effectively? Do they share the same values and principles in life as you? Do they share your faith? Are they capable of being kind, loving, and faithful to you? Can they fit into your family? Can you stand to see their face when you’re at your boiling point? If you want children, will they make a good mother? When you find a potential, first be her friend…talk, talk and do activities together that’ll reveal their characteristics.

A suspected smuggler arrested by operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency attached to the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, has told investigators that he took to drug trafficking to send his children to school.

The 48-year-old suspect, Chukwuenyem Obi, was apprehended alongside a mother of seven, Ifeoma Ezeano and two others – Gilbert Kelvin and Michael Okafor– with narcotics weighing 41.6 kilogrammes.

The NDLEA said the street value of the drugs was N374.6m.

South Africa-based Chukwuenyem said he smuggled the drug to raise funds for his three children, who had dropped out from school.

He said, “I struggle to feed my family by selling foodstuffs. At present, my capital is so small that the business is almost moribund. A friend introduced me to drug trafficking. He promised to pay me 15,000 South African rand. My children are out of school because of my inability to pay their tuition. This is my first time of dealing in drugs and I regret everything. I pray to be out of this problem.”

Ezeano, who sold foodstuffs in South Africa, claimed to have been tricked into the crime by a man he had approached for financial assistance to expand her business.

She said, “I have seven children and I take care of them from the sales of foodstuffs. I came to Nigeria to buy foodstuffs like melon, vegetables and other local spices. There is a man in South Africa that I went to request financial assistance to enable me expand my business. He called me that somebody would give me some food items for him. When I got to the airport, NDLEA officers detected methamphetamine in the package given to me by the man.”

Okafor had 5kg of cocaine concealed inside silicon sealants on his way from Brazil. The 44-year-old music producer, who was based in Asaba, told narcotic investigators that he had gone to Brazil to promote his music label.

“I am a music producer. I travelled to Brazil to promote my music. I had a successful deal but on my way back, I accepted a bag from a friend I met in Sao Paulo to take to Nigeria. When I got here, 29 out of the 34 sealants were found to contain cocaine. This is a major setback for my career.”

In his confession, 37-year-old Kelvin said he was disappointed that the drug he had hidden inside a solar lamp was discovered.

I want to appreciate u guys for advise n word of encouragement,women are actually deceitful. I found out some other horrible thing about her which she never told me.

I don't knw how else to thank you,may the almight God b with u all. Amen

Krak:
Recording their conversation makes you obviously a smart person. But you need to prove you can really act smart by doing the right thing.

You should let go of her immediately, and please do not allow emotions to stand in your way or else you will be digging your own grave if you still continue with her.

. Thanks bro bt my problem is that shld I confront her with my evidence or what shld I do

I have been dating my lady for 3 yrs now so I decided to take the relationship to the nest level,I proposed marriage to her and she said yes. I took her home officially, introduce her to my parent,they were happy,welcomed her and made her feel at home,she even slept in my mum's room that night. We decided to go see her people the following weekend,when we got there things were not as I was expecting.her siblings welcomed me to there house,before her mum could even come out of her room to greet me it took her about an hour and when she finally came out she just greeted me shabbily and they started speaking their language which I did nt understand,I notice they were speaking and laughing out loud with my wife so I decided to record all their conversation. After about 2 hours of staying there I called my lady n told her I will b going,she told her people in language and they just reacted as if I am a friend of the lady,I quietly walk out to my car and drove off. When I got home I called a good friend of my that understands the language to come and interpret all they have said,I play the recorded voices to my friend and he just kept laughing,he asked me who owns the voices n I had to lie to him that its for a colleague of mine at work that want to the meaning of what thay said. He told me everything word to word,the way thay abused me and my family but the most annoying thing is that my lady joined them to abuse me instead of her to defend me,she said its because am a guy of potentials and the fact that am finacially stable that's why she want to settle for me. I have been unable to eat n slept since yesterday because of what I heard. I love the lady so much pls I need a matured advise on what step to take nest because am so confused now. Thanks in anticipation.

Its umbelievable,haa oh my God

She is inhuman. So bad

Well said my guy well said.

Team guly guy. Na we rock pass

With this result arising from the sitting president's decision in interfering in football matters, which he has no clue about, it brings me to wonder about his other decisions in running Nigeria.

Applaner:
