Celebrities / Re: Mike Ezuruonye: "My Wife Didn't Give Birth To Albino, No Divorce" by gemale(m): 2:24pm On Jun 20, 2018
made4naijamusic:
Mike Ezuruonye has denied reports that he and his wife will be getting divorced.

Also, according to him, his wife did not give birth to an albino. Several news sources have reported that Mike and his wife are set to divorce each other.

Their reason for divorcing each other is said to be because his wife recently gave birth to a baby who is an albino and there is no albino in his lineage.

Mike Ezuruonye responded to these rumours and said they are definitely not true.

Ezuruonye considers the rumours to be absurd. He reiterated that His wife did not give birth to an albino and they are definitely not getting divorced.

Even if she gave birth to an albino, what's the big deal? It's just a genetic mutation that leads to a deficiency of melanin, the pigment that makes our skin dark & gives our iris their colour. It doesn't affect their intelligence or makes them physically handicapped. Only heightened sensitivity to sunlight & little eye issues are what they suffer & these can easily be taken care of by using sunscreen, clothes, hats, & glasses. Why are we still ignorant this 21st century & discriminating against albinos? Genetically, it can lie recessive for many generations because it need two alleles from the father & mother to be physically expressed. It's kind of similar to the way AS carry the sickle cell trait without any signs until they combine with another AS to give birth to SS.
Crime / Re: For Celebrating Sallah With Girlfriends, Zamfara Hisbah Commission Arrest Guys by gemale(m): 8:19am On Jun 19, 2018
ChangeIsCostant:
While Muslims around the world marked the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan with the Sallah celebration, some youths spent the special festivity in custody of the Hisbah Commission (religious police force) in Zamfara state. The young men were arrested while out and about with their girlfriends in the state metropolis.

Though the reason for their arrest was not given in details but according to confirmed reports, those who defaulted the religious laws or engaged in anti Sharia activities such as drinking alcohol - were picked up by the Hisbah officials who patrolled across the city to observe the Sallah celebration.

See the aberration in this country called Nigeria caused by Obasanjo. Isn't it written in the Constitution that there shouldn't be any state religion in the country? Why the is Sharia law operating in certain states? It is an infringement to the notion that Nigeria is a secular state. How can we have 2 sets of laws in a country? Is that not the making of a banana Republic? What sort of backwardness is this? We are supposed to be in a democracy for goodness sake. How is intake of alcoholic beverage now a crime when in that same region, illegal psychoactive substance abuse is the order of the day? We need to start thinking well ASAP.

How would they take care of the numerous danfo drivers & conductors rendered jobless by this development? That's what a good government would think of. We need to make well-thought plans & policies sustainable in the short, medium & long term. Would these buses be turned over to those danfo drivers or what? All these Knee-jerk, cosmetic solutions wouldn't just do. Do we want to trade better-looking buses for additional unemployment? My 2 cents.
Sports / Re: Nigeria Vs Croatia: World Cup - 0 - 2 On 16th June 2018 by gemale(m): 1:31pm On Jun 14, 2018
Dyt:
There are plenty of familiar names in the Nigeria squad though. No less than seven Premier League players are present, and their forward line is awash with Premier League players past and present. Odion Ighalo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Alex Iwobi, and Ahmed Musa all compete for a starting berth, and it’s this attacking presence that will give them hope.

Indeed, Nigeria have scored in seven of their last ten matches overall, and they’re facing a Croatia side who have conceded at least once in ten of their last 15 matches. The favourites have scored in nine of these games though, whilst Nigeria have conceded in seven of their last ten too.
As a Nigerian, i want the Eagles to win but to honestly analyse this match, only a surprise or miracle would make that possible if we judge by recent gameplay.

This one is more than government. We are too wicked to ourselves. Why would someone who fears God & has conscience be washing what someone would eat in faeces-polluted water? Is that not evil? If not for the grace of God, cholera or enterovirus epidemic would have long made us extinct in Nigeria. Typical Nigerians are quick to mention God but when I see acts like these, it screams "devil" loudly.
Romance / Re: Is My Girlfriend Selfish Or She Is Right? by gemale(m): 11:55pm On Jun 09, 2018
mistacoco:
Dear Narialanders.

I and my girlfriend had a hitup conversation this afternoon that we even quarrel after then.

This is the issue, she read medlab in school and she is planning to go for her internship by Gods grace soon. I told her that after our wedding I will be giving her five million to setup a LAB and after 8 months she can start contribute for the upkeep of the family and when we start having kids.
My Dear brethren in Christ, do you know her reply? She said NO, she can only provide when the husband exhaust his money on the family. I then asked her whats the point opening a bizness if you cant make a joint contribution with your husband at the end of the month for the upkeep of the family.
She said said her work is a HELPER she can only help her husband when the husbands own finishes. My Dear I was shock.

She Even said I will be giving her money for her hair, cloth e.t.cs, when the bizness is still functioning fine. My reply was that what then will you be using your money to do? She said I don't have business with her money, I should face my responsibilities as the man, she can only assist me when I don't Av cash.. I told her is better you even be a house wife than acting in such manner.

Her Female friend was siding her oo. .
What's you take on this.

.
I have not heard her side but from what you said, I advise you to go & pray. Perhaps God is trying to show you her true colour before you tie the knot. The question is now; can you live with those conditions till death do you part or not? Before you sha go ahead, try to hear from God.

Religion / Re: How Do I Restart My Battle Over The Use Of Prostitutes After Series Of Relapse? by gemale(m): 4:34pm On May 27, 2018
courage2702:
I need practical help to overcome my struggle against the use of prostitutes. I picked up this terrible habit shortly after my graduation from university sometime in 2012 and it is a vice that has wrecked my life. The last success was 13 months without any sexual involvement with any one before i had a sad event in my life that made me go back to my vommit. Any body with practical advice should please come up with it.. yesterday I went down on my knees again to ask him to give me another chance to fix my life for good. But I really need to take practical actions as faith without work is dead
I have an amazing future but this lifestyle may cut it off if don't fight it headlong.

I am 30+ old man that really wish to settle down but not until I quit this habit that has disconnected me from God as well as made my life miserable.
I am from a Christian background.

My brother, I once struggled with this vice & other vices but praise God for delivering me. It might seem impossible to man but nothing is impossible with God. First of all, understand that it is neither by power nor by might but by the Spirit of God. It is only by leaning on His ever-abundant grace that you would get victory & not fall back. Understand that this grace is what you need daily to continue & triumph when you are tempted (because you would be tempted). You have to understand that complete surrender to God daily is non-negotiable because it isn't you that would defeat any sin but the Holy Spirit living in you. Learn to rely on God & lean not on your strength or wisdom. Start to learn how to die to the flesh & its desires. Cry to God & ask for help. Ask Him to take over everything about you, especially your heart because all imaginations stem from there. Ask Him to destroy every trace of lust in you & replace it with His purity of heart. Next, clear all defilement present in your life that triggers this act. Things like pornography, lewd chats, songs, movies etc should be fled from, deleted from your devices. Instead, become an addict of God's word & prayer. Memorize a bible verse daily & pray as frequently as possible especially when facing temptation. Also, if there's any other sin you are struggling with; no matter how 'small' even if it's telling so-called white lie, ask God to help you defeat them. Also try to fast maybe like once in two weeks but please remember that fast without prayer & word study= hunger strike. It helped me because sin could come sometimes, the urge to sin might be like hunger; it could try to deceive one that to do it is necessary like eating food so mastering desire for food could help. Finally, realize that the day you stop surrendering to God is the day you would fall back to those bad habits if not worse. You can never outgrow needing God & His grace rather you have to grow more in it. Following Jesus is something that becomes your life, everyday until Jesus either returns or calls you home. Understand that there is nothing in this world for you; you are a mere pilgrim here. Heaven is your home & your inheritance. Please read Romans 6,8, galatians 8:16-24, ephesians 4,6:10-17.

Romance / Re: Can A Man Love His Woman Dearly And Still Cheat On Her? by gemale(m): 7:33pm On May 21, 2018
MARX77:
Pardon me to answer this question with yet another question; Have you fallen into temptation before? I bet we all have, it doesn't mean we loved the object of tempt more than anything else, well maybe momentarily we did.
So yes, a man can love a woman dearly and cheat on her. But it ain't good if he keeps up with it.
When a child says he loves a Christmas fowl, is it the fowl he loves or the chicken he hopes to eat on Christmas day? If you fell into temptation, check yourself & the authenticity of that so called love. Something is amiss. You must love a certain desire that you love above that person. Anyway, the reason why numerous spouses cheat is because they lack the genuine fear of God. If we truly knew the terror of the Lord, we wouldn't try it.

Klinee:
Most men cheats not because they hate their wife, but most girls did not understand that,
A man will love you so dearly but he will still cheat on with respect and regards to you as a wife.
But if a man cheat on you with no respect and regard as a wife then he didn't love you.
With "respect and regard" I mean not spending much money on the side chick, not bring the the side chick to your matrimonial home, always hide the side chick from you as a wife, always apologize to you as a wife when caught, always side you as a wife when matter arises, spend more money and time with you and kids.
Most ladies love this type of men, just cheat but give them their respect and regards as the woman of the house.
Do you really understand the true meaning of respect? I doubt it. If you truly respect someone, you wouldn't do what he/she doesn't like even behind that person. Any other thing is hypocrisy, pretence & eye service. Any man who cheats might say he loves a woman; talk is cheap but in truth, he doesn't. Infidelity reeks of selfishness & there's no selfishness in true love. You think hiding Infidelity is love? It is nothing but craftiness & craftiness is of the devil. Stop deceiving people. The fact that that evil is popular doesn't still make it good. Any man who makes a vow before God to be faithful to a woman & breaks it is bringing judgement on His head if not in this world, in the next & vice versa. Let Him that has an ear...

Rubbish write up...would you prefer them carrying guns and robbing their fellow Nigerians? How many articles have you written about politicians who are the real thieves in this shit hole country?
That's the problem in Nigeria. We know how to accuse others without looking at ourselves first. So bad leadership & corruption in public office is enough justification to defraud people? So when you stand before God in judgement, that is the type of excuse you would give? SMH. We lack the fear of God in this country. Most of the church/mosque we are going is eye service & has little or no value in the eyes of God. There's nothing like big sin, little sin in the sight of God. The wages of sin is death unless true repentance & conversion occurs.

Who made you judge over that matter? What makes you think you are a better person than that fellow you intend to kill? Why are you so judgemental? Are you without sin? Why then are you hard on others when you yourself are imperfect? Is that what Christianity /Islam teaches you? Have you finish meting out your harsh judgement to liars, fraudsters, people who steal, fornicate, gossip, backbite cheat, smoke etc? All have sinned, hence none should claim superiority or holiness.

Politics / Re: Nigeria School Food Scheme Revolutionising Education- Aljazeera by gemale(m): 12:07pm On Apr 21, 2018
This is one thing I don't like about governance in Nigeria. Knee-jerk, unsustainable, white elephant projects are what they specialize in. For how many years do you think this can last? It might seem heartless but this shows misplaced priority. A system where over 20 States owe workers salaries claiming insufficient money still carry the same 'scarce' money to spend on food to spend on this is frankly speaking, ridiculous. Parents & guardians should feed their children & wards. That's their responsibility. The government's responsibility is to create an environment where making an honest living becomes less of a herculean challenge. This is just a scheme to play to the gallery, something government in Nigeria excels in doing. Are those schools well equipped to give those children a meaningful education? Are the people who teach there paid reasonably?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: CSKA Moscow Vs Arsenal: Europa League (2 - 2) On 12th April 2018 by gemale(m): 7:50pm On Apr 12, 2018
Omooba77:
Returned leg.
On Thursday night, Arsenal travel to the Russian capital to face CSKA Moscow in the Europa League quarter-final second leg. The Gunners take a commanding 4-1 lead into the clash, but cannot afford complacency against the Russian side.
The home side have been in patchy form in recent weeks and their Europa League form has been little more consistent either. The Russian side have won just two of their last six games in Europe.
The Russian side’s last two European games have seen over 2.5 goals. However, their previous five games produced under 2.5 goals.
CSKA have a poor recent home record in the Europa League, winning just one of their last five games on home soil. Their recent home games in Europa League games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last five games on home soil.
Arsenal will be confident of making it into the last four of the competition after their big first leg victory. The Gunners head into this game on the back of six straight wins in all competitions.
Arsene Wenger’s side have a good recent record in the Europa League, having won five of their last six games in Europe. A key to that recent good run of form has been the Gunners attacking threat, as the north London side have scored two or more goals in five of their last six outings in the Europa League.
The visitors do not have a great away record of late. However, their last two wins on their travels have been in the Europa League. In fact, the two away wins in Europe are the Gunners only victories on their travels in nine outings in all competitions.
Arsenal’s overall away record in the Europa League is good, as the visitors have won four of their last five games on their travels in Europe. The Gunners have also kept clean sheets in three of their last away games in this competition.
Team News
The home side are set to be without Viktor Vasin and Mario Fernandes through injury. Kirill Nababkin should return to the CSKA team after he missed the first leg due to suspension.
Arsenal are without midfielders Santi Cazorla and Henrik Mkhitaryan, while striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is ineligible to feature. Goalkeeper David Ospina is also a doubt for the clash. Alexandre Lacazette should return up front.

If you can't tolerate certain key traits (eg jealousy & self esteem issues) & the person shows no signs of changing (not for your sake, but for the purpose of becoming a better version of themselves), kindly maintain friendship with that person & don't go beyond that point with that person.

MissCokie:
Men can be so egocentric and most times self centred, without considering if their body language, style and general lifestyle is affecting them.

I'm Miss Cokie , and here are Top5 characteristics of men, a woman should not consider for marriage.


1. Over Sabi : This kind of guys won't give you a breathing space, because they will presume that you're dull and unintelligent, even when you're way brilliant and smarter than him.

2. Over Protective Men : This kind of guys can kill for your sake, in the name of protecting my baby. shocked . The most annoying part is that, you don't have any privacy, because they will go through your mail, chats and text messages while you're sleeping.. That's a female thing sad

3. Over Jealous Men : Have you ever heard of the word, Nah jealousy go later kill you? , YES!, That was created because of them. This set of men, can get jealous over a 5years old baby smiling at you. They can easily get really angry and do nasty things.

4. No Future Ambission Men : Baby please give me little time, we will scale through!, after 15years of dating and endless abortions lipsrsealed .. Procrastination is very bad, especially when a man is showing you signs of a chronic procrastinator...

5. A Man Who Does Not Support You & Your Career : This set of men, will criticise your work, your skills, your life, your social life, your parents and even your next life. They don't want you to be ahead of them socially, financially, academically and mentally, so they rather device various strategies to keep you down and locked up.


Here you have it grin . please let us learn to value each other, in respective of our gender, tribe, and religious differences... Happy Esther! , although it came in late. kiss

Number 1 should be Mr Non - God fearer. That's where a lot of people get it wrong. A man that doesn't have the fear of God is open to any sort of temptation once the devil decides to make a move against that marriage.

like every sane individual, you should be asking where is your God but you guys are asking Buhari to ensure are safety return instead. I thought your God is omnipotent, far more powerful than Buhari?

if Leah was sane, she would have pretended to accept Islam for the sake of her safety.

her story is a painful one, I wish her the best.


Which home? I hope it isn't the same home as the Chibok girl?
My brother, do you believe death is the worst fate of a human? Death is inevitable. So why fear the inevitable? Why not prepare for it? Life is nothing but a countdown to death. You, me & anyone born in this world would die one day. This body we have is a future corpse. So where is the wisdom in endangering an eternal soul for a future corpse? The highest anyone can live isn't up to 150 years & 1 would now trade that temporary respite for eternity. That girl has faith & courage I pray to have. Mock all you want. The wisdom of God sounds foolish to man. Where does all the wisdom of the world end? In a 6 feet hole in the ground & one's brain becomes food for the maggots. The world goes on spinning as if one never existed. I believe in God because He is God. Whether or not He does what I want is immaterial. I trust Him though I am not fully in the know about His plans just like (if not more) I trust my parents even when I don't always like or understand what they do. The God who made the entire universe is not a gambler neither does He act impulsively. I pray she is unharmed physically but I know that the worst those people can do is kill her. Her soul is untouchable & who knows if maybe God can use her to convert some of those boko haram people?

My room mate back then in school had mental problem because of weed. And I am sure many people also know that the indiscriminate use of it causes it. If legalise the use of it can never be monitored or control
It could have been school pressure or maybe the weed was mixed with other hard drugs like meth, Angel dust, crack & the cocktail caused him to lose it. The active compounds in weed (CBD & THC) don't induce psychosis. Any high feeling is usually temporary. That's 1 of the problem of criminalizing weed; there's no check of quality or standardization or regulations. If weed was legalized, quality would improve.

We have not even de criminalise it neither have we legalise it yet the rate of weed induced crime is very high, weed induced irresponsible life style is killing and destroying our youth's future, weed induced physco mental problems are so high( infact in Nigeria, it is the highest cause of madness).
How many effective psychiatric hospital do we have. Every family should be ready to have at least 2 colo-mentals in their house.
Abegi! Oga, living in Nigeria is enough to make someone mad so don't blame weed. How many cases of weed-induced psychosis has been reported in advanced countries? There is no credible study that has shown that smoking weed makes people mad. Scientifically, the effects of weed are largely parasympathetic; reduced heart rate, slowed breathing, increased appetite, increased dopamine secretion aren't compatible with violent crimes because epinephrine is the hormone secreted in the aggressive state. Hence, weed relaxes people & makes them less liable to get aggressive. If anyone who takes pot commits a crime, it's because of his criminal tendency or other factors not weed itself. Another factor of crime associated with weed is because of its illegal status, which attracts criminals to be involved in its production & sale. The same was the case with alcohol in the US during the prohibition era. Organized crime got involved & the influence of the mafia grew & hasn't still been eradicated totally till today. Anyone who wants to be responsible or otherwise would be regardless of weed intake. I've met weed smokers who are outstanding in their pursuits. It's about the individual involved.

The Big Brother Naija 2018 tagged "Double Wahala" has already started yielding some wahala in the house. There's a rumour going around town that one of the housemates, Miracle Igbokwe Ikechukwu is married even though he said it himself that he is not married.

His Brother has come out in a one minute video to disclaim the rumour and stated categorically that his brother is not married.

Watch the Video:

And this made front page? Nigerian youths, please wake up! Our nation is currently tottering & swiftly assuming the status of a failed state & we, the youth, the supposed future are busy dissipating our energies on BBN (or rather, BBSA because it's holding in south Africa). Don't you feel any shame that a show ending in our country's name cannot be hosted in our country? Why? Because of our electricity disaster. Doesn't your heart bleed to know that the only country with a worse power crisis than us presently is wartorn Yemen? Any honest individual looks around & sees little or no hope in our country yet we are still jesting & clowning? Is this the generation that claims it should be given the reins to direct the affairs of this country? I think not. If it were, i would see the Internet shut down with protests against the present situation & avenues where how to save our country would be the dominant subject. Social media would serve as a rally ground where productive ideas would be exchanged. Political awareness & national policies discussions would trend & the sparks of a mental revolution would be ignited in every nook & cranny of our country. I write this in the hope to generate the friction that would kindle an intellectual bonfire among patriotic citizens that could cause us to get our act together. Let the fooling around stop. Time is running out.

May it never be well with this country
I reverse that negative pronouncement by the power in the name of Jesus Christ. After the order of Balaam, may it be reversed to a blessing in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.... My brother, ask God to help you bridle your tongue. Don't you know that the power of life & death lie there? The book of James equates the tongue to the rudder of a ship. Yes, circumstances are not looking too good in our country but if we all truly repent & turn away from our wickedness & cruelty to 1 another, this country would improve. The problem is that we don't fear God in Nigeria. That's why there's so much evil.

Politics / Re: The Food Served To The Presidential Guards In Aso Rock (Photos) by gemale(m): 4:15pm On Nov 09, 2017
whateverkay:
sad You call fried rice and eggs crappy food? Were they supposed to eat Gucci rice and champagne just because they guard Aso rock? Buhari is a prudent president and he won't allow the status quo of wastage practiced under Goodluck Jonathan. 1 billion might be budgeted for feeding, it doesn't mean the whole money must be spent on feeding. Nigerians are used to wasteful spending and Buhari's govt is here to correct that. If a whole presidency can feed with such prudency, then the common man on the streets should be confident that we are in safe hands. God bless president Buhari. sad
Please i hope you are being sarcastic. It's obvious that if this is true, that even with 1 billion being budgeted to feed the presidential guards, all they get is egg & fried rice that even with at most #100,000 can prepare a feast for more than 500 guests, there is massive diversion & misappropriation of those funds AKA corruption right under the president's nose. This is very sad. I can wager that the United States secret service (the equivalent of our presidential guards) don't treat their personnel so shabbily. These people guard the president's life for goodness sake. They are expected to take a bullet for the president in the case of an attempt on his life yet they are fed so poorly despite the big amount allocated for that purpose. Now imagine if someone treated that way is now approached by someone with bad intentions for the president. Isn't it likely that if he's offered enough incentives & immunity, he can decide to look the other way & allow something befall the president. Why are Nigerians this callous? This is similar to what I experienced in nysc camp. I heard that #500 was budgeted per meal yet this people served us food without water. The quality & quantity of food we were served was nothing to write home about. As overpriced as the food in mammy market was (#350/plate), It was by far better & bigger than what we were served. If each corper was given that amount in cash, he would afford a plate of sumptuous food at mammy market with a bottle of malt to wash it down.
