Christianity EtcRe: Osun Christian Students Must Wear Garments If Muslims Wear Hijabs – CAN Insists by Favored4gud: 6:29pm On Jun 15, 2016
Naija over play religion pass the ppl that introduce 'em to it. All these cover or no cover no matter na person heart and deeds na im matter for where our maker dey. na to jus over look all these and wait till the judgement day to see who make am.
Feranchek:
They should na. Who dey stop dem beforehuh

Buh let's see for how long it'll last.

Is this some sorta competition or whathuh Muslims are known for wearing Hijabs. Whether they abuse it or not is no one's business. Let the kids be competitive in other areas of their lives, rather than in religious 'battles'

Can CAN be CANdid and let things go the right way??



Another FTC in one day!!! Azonto on point!!!

For Y'all quoting me, asking me to go tell my Muslim brothers this or that, FYI, I'm a Christian!!! A proud CATHOLIC!! Buh let's call a spade a spade and not a gardening tool, these Muslims are known for this! It's quite true that high school students wear 'uniforms' to school, buh hey!! Did the Muslim folks JUST started wearing this habit to school??!! Broses and sises, itaf tayed!!! Why is CAN suddenly attacking it now??! Dem no dey see am beforehuh

Someone quoted me asking me to tell my Rev.Fr. to go build a mosque opposite my church cheesy cheesy
The name of my parish is OUR LADY OF FATIMA, Aguda, and it was given that name cos the owner of the Land where the church is built was a Muslim and he was sooooo happy bout the fact that a church will be built on his land. So the Priest of our mother parish gave it that name in honor of Our Lady that appeared to 3 little children in Fatima, Portugal and coincidentally, the daughter of the landlord bears the name Fatima grin

So itaf tayed wey we don be friends with Muslims

#kickawayreligiouscompetition

RomanceRe: Ladies. Watch Your Tongue. I Stopped Caring For Her After She Said This by Favored4gud: 4:39pm On Jun 14, 2016
Weda u use it on the girl or u use somewhere else, u will still spend the money somehow. How u spend it ur bizness cos na u get am. Dont do things because of what you will get out of it do it cos its the right thing to do. If you really love and care for someone there are tons of things you will overlook. If you come be the Creator what will you have done? Guy make you teach or show her how it should be. Lead her by example, if she no follow then no regrets weda u spend or not, cos no good deeds go unrewarded likewise evil deeds.
alexistaiwo:
My girlfriend and I got into a hot argument last month which degenerated into a break up. During the argument, lots of hurtful words were exchanged but she made the fatal error of saying that she is managing me. This is a girl that I literally 'toshed up' and I had provided all her needs from 2014 we started dating up to that point.
Two weeks later, she came back begging to be accepted back. she said she said those words out of provocation since I was the one that insulted her first. As a sure guy, I accepted her back but made a promise to my self that I will never spend a substantial amount of my money on her again since it seems that she is the ungrateful type.
Her love for me isn't in doubt but guys wise up. Don't go bankrupt because of a girl, at the end of the day she will say that you haven't done anything.

PropertiesRe: Agbowa-ikosi In 10 Years Time by Favored4gud: 10:38pm On Jun 12, 2016
My concern with the lekki, ibeju area is water. It's so water logged, water made me back out of a land purchase in Ibeju, most places there are govt acquisition and the distance. Agbowa is far too cheesy but won't have to worry about water and spending millions of naira for foundation. Yeah Ambode is from Epe I believe and hopefully Agbowa will open up like u wrote.
phoenix480:
The truth is every developing area in Lagos (Ibeju Lekki/Epe - Ikorodu - Mowe/Ibafo - Sango Otta/Agbara) all have good potential in the long term period of 10 years time or more. The areas listed above will give good returns on investments in that period due to the ever increasing population of Lagos and developing infrastructure.

The true question is which area offers the best potential in Lagos? My answer - Ibeju Lekki/Epe. Several upcoming projects like Lekki-Epe airport, Lekki Seaport, Dangote Refinery, Lagos state golf course, 4th Mainland bridge are driving land prices in that area. Don't forget that Ambode is also from the area wink .

On Agbowa Ikosi development, it is not a bad investment if that's what you can afford at the moment. The expansion of Itokin - Imota - Agbowa roads will further open the area up.

All these she off her phone, I dont trust her, if u no fit again just tell her and move on. Life no get duplicate and the short time we have here on earth, use wisely cos the owner will request for how we lived it. My 2 cents.

Guy, here is my slogan. 'Treat ppl as u want to be treated'.
Life na temporary, if u love someone there are ways u can talk to the person about this. Two of una don mature enuf to reason things if u both have each other interest at heart. Don't make assumptions with out solid evidence. If you claim you love her so much you will do what love require of u in this matter.

Dating her for 5years now..contemplating marrying her..currently doing her phd..she's just 32yrs ,am 35 .I love her so much....no longer sure if all this will work out....she schools in a neighboring state and every God given evening her cell is swicthed off.

Wenever I ask why, we end up quarelling. I don't know how long all this will end. Almost thinking of joining that school of thought where I will just have children and forget marriage. I haven't made up my mind though. Just thinking.

Trust issue is choking me. I don't care if people think am insecure but I have bought her 3 different phones, powerbank etc just so I can get her on atleast one of her 4lines....all switched off....maybe I am crazy....I don't know I need advice....castigate me or abuse me nairalanders I don't care...coz trolls nogo do me anything....n my relationship matter to me now but I know better people go answer me wisely...sorry for the typing error...I dey vex.

Thanks for your support.
dallyemmy:
OPEN HEAVENS DAILY DEVOTIONAL...

DATE :WEDNESDAY 8 JUNE 2016

THEME : POSITIVE EXPECTATIONS

Memorise:

The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the
wicked shall perish. Proverbs 10:28

Read: Acts 3:1-8

1 Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.

2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;

3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.

5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.

6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.


Message

Being positive is vital to our walk as Christians. To be positive is an expression of our confidence in the Almighty God and His Word. Hence, a positive expectation is an act motivated by the Word of God, it is proof that all will be well, an evidence that you are bigger than all your problems and circumstances, an assurance that today's situation does not determine tommorow's glory, and that as long as you are connected to Jesus, all your stories will turn out to be great testimonies. You cannot achieve your goals in life if you are not optimistic. When you are positive about the outcome of every situation, what the devil meant for evil will always turn out good for you. Every outstanding event in a man's life will always be as a result of his expectation in God. No wonder Jesus said in Mark 9:33

"If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth".

Expectations help us to operate at a level where there is no impossibility in our dictionary. The crippled man in today's Bible reading had been in that situation for a long time. Everyone who passed by the beautiful gate knew there was a man there who always begging for arms, but when his moment of change came, nothing could stop him from obtaining his miracle. I decree into the life of a user of this devotional believing God for the fruit of the womb, an end has come to barrenness in Jesus' name.

The crippled man was expecting money as usual, but he was given something that was much more than money. Even if you do not have enough faith, the power of God is not dependent upon your faith only.
God is committed to showing His glory in your life. Have you been trusting God for something and you feel that God is getting too late? Don’t worry, in His time, everything becomes beautiful. They that trust in the Lord can never be put to shame. For this reason, you have to ensure that when God is distributing His blessings, you are not exempted. There are people who cannot have a divine appointment with God because they are still living in sin. Have you lost your relationship with God? You have to come back to Him. He is a faithful Father who will not reward you according to your sins once you repent of them. The righteous look forward to the future, but there is no future for anyone who is still in sin. The wicked are always fearful because they know that they will reap the rewards of their sins. When one is obedient to the will of God, he becomes confident in what God is capable of doing with his life. Obedience brings the assurance of a glorious future, while disobedience to God brings an assurance of the wrath and anger of God. You will not be visited with the wrath of God in Jesus’ name.


Key point:

The end of a righteous man will always be Peace.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : 2 Chronicles 31-32, and Ecclesiastes 4:1-8


AUTHOR : Pst E. A ADEBOYE


HYMN 6: WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS.

What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there.
TravelRe: 8 Disgusting Habits Displayed By Nigerians When They Return From Abroad by Favored4gud: 5:06pm On Jun 07, 2016
Nna you just yan correct!!!! No need to add or take away anything!
ronald4lif:
Bros, it's not about going to joints or say parting away with few thousands, no that amounts to nothing. Some of these friends don't even need those few thousands or drinks etc. They want and expect you to assist in stabilising them up with a business, which could run into a hundreds of thousands or million(s). That's the problem.

And even if you've got a few millions as a hustler you have other priorities than shortchanging yourself of such amount of money. Maybe you're saving to construct your own house even if it's a 3bed bungalow or planning to get married and need to prepare yourself with the challenges that comes with the union. No one will distance themselves from an old friend just coz of drinks or little stuff like that, it's more deeper than those stuff.
PoliticsRe: Fashola, Dangote And Amosun Commission Itori-Ibeshe Road by Favored4gud: 9:16pm On Jun 06, 2016
I have a house in Ogun State border line to Lagos (Matogun-Oke aro area). I bought the land in 2004, built and moved family in 2007 that place has not improved till date. Like I wrote I as of Dec 2015, the place still messy if not worst. The only change was the bridge built by the community ppl so they dont fall off from bikes or while in a car. Till date nothing. Like I wrote, Lagos may not be all that good but waay better than Ogun. I was encouraged to buy cos the place will get better with time, yeah land is expensive there now but access is sooo horrible.

That's why I am moving family to Lagos, built a new place. Also learnt lots of folks moving out from there too. I will rent the place out once out. I would reconsider Ogun State again once I notice a better development. To each it own tho.
Femich18:
You maybe right and at the same time wrong. I don't stay in Ogun State but I've relatives over there who are always commending him. As par the road issue you raised earlier I want you to know that every community can't all have good roads at the same time but bit by bit it will go around. Even in Lagos too not all towns have good roads some roads are eyesore I must confess

I don't know what 10 years time will bring. I know for sure land appreciates and wont be the same in 10 years time. Now is the best time to buy if you are looking to buy. My mum bought for me there in 2013, for N200k per plot. As I type, land there goes for N600-700k per plot. To me may not be much but I know as time goes by more development will come there.
Also, I keep praying for development, and so far God has been Gracious. lol. Cos Ambode is bringing Mile 12 and Okobaba Sawmill close by.
Even if you don't want to live there, you can buy, fence and gate it. Omoniles are there now but not as demanding as the ones on the main land or island. If you choose to build, you can use your parents to secure the place ( I mean build a nice place for your folks and they can live there). Dunno if this is any help to your question
