Nairaland / General / What The Youths Need To Know Today About Tomorrow. by Giftedheart(m): 10:41am On Aug 13, 2017 |
When I was younger I use to admire people with
luxuries.... Now I admire people with inner peace.
Wish u all heaven's best this week
PETERS VS JIM OVIA
In 1990, Shina Peters built a house with N20 million
naira; the same year Jim Ovia started Zenith Bank
with the same amount.
Today, you and I don't have a room in Shina's house
but I have an account in Jim's bank and probably you
do too.
Shina's house was built in Iju Lagos and remains
there till date.
Jim's bank started in a corner and now has over 500
branches in Nigeria, and many international
branches.
Millions upon millions transact business in Jim's bank
daily.
Shina's house is becoming dilapidated...in 2015, he
SPENT more money to renovate the house and
bought a Nissan Pathfinder with N10 million...addit
ional liability, while in the same 2015, Jim's bank
MADE a profit of N105.7 billion.
Zenith bank employs hundreds of thousands, and
feeds their families.
This is the difference between Assets and Liability. If
you buy a car for N20 million today, in 20 years time,
you will be ashamed to drive it. On the other hand, if
you invest that same amount in a lucrative business
or in an asset, It may be worth billions in 20 years.
( Jim Ovia is now worth $980 million dollars, with the
official dollar rate of N320, that means he is worth
N313 BILLION NAIRA because of an investment of
N20 million).
Spend the little money you have today wisely. Some
people driving expensive cars today, are not aware
that they are driving their future and the future of
their children. Some people carrying iphone7 today,
may not be aware that they are carrying their future.
When you are young, don't spend money. Invest it.
Every penny in your hand is like a seed, you can
decide to eat it, or sow it. When you sow it, it will
bear much more seeds later in future.
If this post make sense to you, please encourage
someone else by sending to them.
Let's be wise.
HAPPY SUNDAY 2 U ALL. |
Nairaland / General / Leave Catholics Alone!!! by Giftedheart(m): 6:38am On Aug 10, 2017 |
LEAVE CATHOLICS ALONE !!!!!
It is
high time we call a spade a spade
LEAVE CATHOLICS ALONE!!!
I stumbled upon a pamphlet from one of these new
generation churches that refused to mention its
name, they
only dropped a phone number and tagged it "SMS
ONLY". It
said "REASON WHY NO CATHOLIC HAS ENTERED
HEAVEN"
My question after reading the antagonistic writeup
was "who
is chasing the wind"
Have you ever asked yourself why the Catholic
church never
advertises itself or any of her branches or outlets but
yet has
the highest number of Christians as a denomination?
You question the authority of the Catholic church -
you called
it a "demonic gathering" but there is a backing that
Christ
Himself set up this Church you now call a 'demonic
gathering'
Read Matt 16:13 - 20. Not even the gate of hell shall
prevail
over it.
Why has the attention of all churches/ministries
turned
towards the 'Catholic Church'. Everyone is fighting
the
Catholic church instead of sin which is the arc enemy
to your
salvation
You say they worship Mary and believe in idols for
protection
and yet you stick the picture of your pastor to your
cars and
door post as a sign of what You have believed so
much in
the power of the enemy of you that your prayer
points are
always about the enemy. Why carry a handkerchief
about in
the name of a mantle; thinking you will find more
favour? Who
ever told you a church sticker will be a saving grace
from
your enemies
You say Mary has no place in heaven; yes I'll agree
with you if
you answer my question, have you searched through
the
whole bible and not found her place in creation I
bet your
answer will be a lopsided yes. But my advice read
again.
You say that Catholics don't read the bible but I still
don't get
this point. Is it that they don't read the bible at all or
they don't
read and preach about 'The Miracle Working God'.
There's a
difference between reading the bible objective and
also
reading the bible subjectively. They read every
portion of the
bible, every nook and cranny of the bible. From the
old
testament, through the psalms, to the new
testament. If you
feel they don't read the 'favouritic' parts of the bible,
please
don't hang yourself, they have chosen what is right
by avoiding
to hide the truths of human existence in this
temporary
dwelling place.
"The teachings of the Catholic church are too hard"
so you go
to where you ears will find it easy to take. Well, never
forget
Luke 20: 45 - 47 and Luke 21: 34 - 36. The catholic
church's
teachings are the teaching of Jesus Himself. Christ
never
foretold any enjoyment or pleasure while here on
earth. He only
promised life eternal and joy everlasting in the
kingdom of
God. Where then do your preachers get their
teachings of
favor from Read what Jesus said in Mark 8: 31 - 38
On Sunday the 14th of April 2016, I heard a preacher
while in
a church service; saying to his members and I quote
him: "I
want you to unleash your holy anger and pray....".
Please
read Matt. 5: 21 - 26 and tell me what aspect of
anger is
holy.
Catholics don't pray; oh yes because they have
chosen to adopt
the bible standard of praying. Once I heard someone
say "
catholics need to understand the art of praying
violently". I
laugh. Read what the bible teaches about prayer in
Matt. 6: 5
- 15
Finally, I want to advocate that you leave catholics
alone.
They have never come out to criticize any
denomination so I
wonder why every denomination is against them. All
of these
new age shops you call ministries stemmed from the
catholic
church. If you need to draw people to God, go to
where the
gospel of Christ Jesus has not reached and
evangelize there.
Stop feeding on the work of others.
If you must judge for God, read what the bible says in
Matt. 7:
1 - 6. Whether Catholics have never and will never
make it to
heaven or not, it is not your business. Focus on 'your'
salvation
and ensure you make heaven which you claim
belongs to non
catholics. #Respect4Catholics #Respect4God and #Respect4Christains. 1 Like |

Romance / Masturbation: Sex For One! by Giftedheart(m): 9:38am On Aug 08, 2017 |
Mere mention of the word ‘masturbation’ could be
irritating. In some settings, masturbation is
considered an evil act. Apparently, not many
would want to talk about it either because of their
religious backgrounds, morality or it is simply
considered absurd.
In this part of the world, masturbation is a taboo to
discuss but nevertheless remains quite a common
and almost natural activity among men and women
and even children.
By definition, masturbation means touching one’s
own body, including sex organs, for sexual
pleasure. It has raised a lot of controversy in
religious circles.
Many individuals wonder if the Bible talks about
masturbation.
However, while religion does not give thumbs up or
thumbs down to it, a study by the Gossard Big M
Survey shows that 92 percent of women regularly
take time out to masturbate, a huge jump from the
findings of previous studies (74 per cent in 1979
and 62 per cent in 1953). While men and women
who masturbate live with guilt, shame and fear
associated with it, many have also described it as
self-abuse.
But the other side to it is that, scientifically,
studies have shown that masturbating more can
dramatically increase individuals’ health and cut
the risk of infections.
To Miss Bola Oshodi (not real name), who confessed
that she started masturbating at the age of 18, it
has helped her in so many ways.
“I was not influenced by anyone; it started as a
result of my menstrual cramps. Each time I do
that, it helps to relieve my pains”, she stated.
“While I was growing up, I tried to avoid keeping
boyfriends. I masturbated just to satisfy my urge
for sex. Now that I am married, I do it sometimes.
But I can tell you it literally replaced my emotion for
males then. Each time I do that, I usually feel like
I’m having sex. At the end, I feel good.
“I think, there are so many positive effects of
masturbating — and it’s fun. It can help you stay in
touch with yourself and your sexuality, and is also
an extremely satisfying way to pass the time. I also
do that each time I am stressed.”
Bola’s case is one of the many benefits of
masturbation, according to medical experts.
According to a study published in European
Urology, aside masturbation being a great stress
reliever, it has distinct health benefits.
Benefits for men
The study, which linked masturbation and frequent
ejaculation, also found that men who ejaculate
regularly have reduced risk of prostate cancer. In
the study, which tracked 30,000 men for almost 20
years, scientists found that men in their 20s, who
ejaculated at least 21 times a month, were 19 per
cent less likely to develop prostate cancer than
those who did seven times a month or less.
The study – published in European Urology-also
found that masturbating a lot when younger
decreases health problems in later life.
Masturbation is important to medical practice
– Dr. Adebayo
In an interview with Sunday Vanguard, a
consultant obstetric gynaecologist, Dr Samuel
Adebayo,, who stated that there are many ways to
look at the issue of masturbation, said apart from
the benefit of sexual pleasure, it helps people
suffering from premature ejaculation to get better.
“We have been able to see that people with
premature ejaculation tend to get better with
masturbation”, Adebayo said.
According to him, masturbation also helps in
infertility treatment and also in sperm collection for
other medical use.
The Medical Director, Dayspring Hospital, Lagos
explained that there are two indications for
masturbation in medical practice.
“One of the major indications is that it is a
procedure to collect male sperm in the case of
infertility. We believe that collecting a sample
through masturbation is far better than through
sexual intercourse where, most of the times, that of
the female would have gotten contaminated with
bacteria in the vagina. But if it is by masturbation,
you are sure that you will be able to estimate the
quantity of the semen and you can accurately
estimate the volume, which is one of the
parameters we always use when we are estimating
the quality of a man’s sperm in relation to
infertility. Then if you culture any growth or
bacteria, you are sure it is directly from the semen
not that it may came from the vagina”.
He further stated that masturbation is also used to
collect sperm for some gynaecological procedures
in Intro-fertilisation, IVF, IUI, among others.
On if there is any health implication, Adebayo said
he could not say if there are health implications but
that masturbation has helped people get better.
However, another research also confirmed that
masturbation is an important and wonderful way of
knowing oneself physically and emotionally.
Benefits for women
Generally speaking, women often think their sexual
desires are less important than their partners.
Because of cultural taboos, many women feel that
the urge or desire to masturbate is somehow
wrong, or the idea of it makes them feel guilty or
ashamed.
Experts say there is enormous potential for healing,
growth and well-being through exploring your
sexuality, expressing it, and experiencing it with
joy.
According to them, women who masturbate
experience a wide range of health benefits. They
say female masturbation helps prevent cervical
infections and relieves urinary tract infections.
Studies are showing that female masturbation can
provide protection against cervical infections
because, when women masturbate, the orgasm
“tents” opens the cervix.
Many women with urinary tract infections (UTI)
report the desire to masturbate when they feel a
UTI coming on, and, for a good reason,
masturbating helps relieve pain, lubricates the
vagina, and flushes old, “unfriendly” bacteria from
the cervix.
Again, studies have shown that masturbation is
associated with improved cardiovascular health and
lower risk of type-2 diabetes.
In a number of studies, women who experienced
more orgasms, and overall greater frequency and
satisfaction with sex — with a partner or not —
were shown to have greater resistance to coronary
heart disease (CHD) and type-2 diabetes.
Masturbation can help prevent insomnia naturally
through hormonal and tension release. Many
women masturbate to wind down at night or to
help them fall asleep, but they might not know that
there’s a hormonal reason why that works.
Masturbation makes the body tick and
function – Sex therapist
A sex therapist, and Chief Executive Officer, Zee
Virtual Media Ltd, Mr. Uche Edochie, the case
against masturbation is one that has raged on for
ages, especially within religious and political
circles.
Edochie, who spoke to Sunday Vanguard,
explained that it is no coincidence as well that
these are the two circles where people are often
pressured to deny the obvious for fear of a backlash
from their constituents.
According to him, everybody masturbates.
“Humans need masturbation for the very reasons
they need sex, food and sleep. Masturbation, like
sex, is part of what makes our bodies tick and
function. There is a raging and insatiable sexual
hunger that humans and animals are born with and
masturbation helps feed that hunger. Human
beings are sexual beings and sexual beings need
sex to function and thrive amongst other things.
That is okay. Sex is part of our constitution and we
shouldn’t be unnerved by it. I get that we are
embarrassed by the crude and animalistic nature of
sexual intercourse but that is not enough grounds
to deny the obvious. The human need for food is
one that goes without saying and the same goes for
our need for medicine when we are ill, sleep when
we are tired etc.”
He queried why people should question the need
for sex when all harbour sexual desire.
“Such denial is childish, dangerous and makes no
sense. Masturbation is simple the very act of
pleasuring yourself to meet your sexual needs
when the opportunity for actual sex with another
human being is absent. Society largely underrates
the importance of sex and it is alarming.
“We take the life we have for granted when we
question our need for sexual gratification. Our
daughters, sisters, wives and mothers are able to
go out and come home relatively unharmed, thanks
to a masturbating populace. Rape, sexual
molestation, child sexual abuse, incest and
domestic violence are all consequences of sexual
deprivation and if you thought the stats are bad
now, imagine how horrible it would be if we never
had the opportunity to relieve ourselves sexually.
Edochie argued that if masturbation is taken for
granted, sexual violence will become an epidemic
in the society.
“Sexual violence will be an epidemic of
stratospheric proportions. We have all witnessed
how the uncountable incidents of child sexual
molestation has ravaged the Catholic Church and
robed it of all credibility, empathy and common
sense.
“As a catholic, it has left me stunned beyond words.
This is what happens when priests are denied the
opportunity to have sexual relationships and marry.
They turn on helpless children for sexual succour.
Priests are people too and they need sex like
everyone else.”
The sex therapist posited that sex is important for
mental health, emotional well-being and social
security, adding that there is no need to demonize
masturbation. “Celebrate it. Our world is safer
because of it,” he added.
Experts say Dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone,
rises during the anticipation of a sexual climax.
After the orgasm, the calming hormones oxytocin
and endorphins are released, allowing you to feel a
warm afterglow that helps you sleep.
Orgasm increases pelvic floor strength. There are so
many advantages to having a healthy pelvic floor.
In the “plateau” stage of orgasm, the pelvic floor
gets a real workout. The clitoris surges with
increased blood pressure. Muscle tone, heart rate,
and respiration all increase. The uterus “lifts” off
the pelvic floor, increasing pelvic muscle tension
and strengthening the entire region, as well as your
sexual satisfaction.
Psychological and emotional benefits of
female masturbation
It is said that fatigue is the main reason for
women’s decrease in, or loss of, libido, and it’s a
legitimate one.
According to medical experts, tired body should
focus on resting and taking care of itself. The
second most common reason for women’s
decreased interest in sex is dissatisfaction with
their appearance.
Masturbation also has the potential to heal the
memory of past negative sexual experiences and
replace them with positive ones.
Masturbation can help you feel more confident and
connected because it improves your mood.
Masturbation helps relieve depressed feelings. As
you become aroused, the hormone levels of mood-
boosting dopamine and epinephrine soar in your
body. Many studies show that women who report
personal satisfaction with their sex lives live a
better quality of life overall.
For couples
Masturbation also relieves stress. According to a
sex therapist, Lonnie Barbach, avoiding sex due to
stress can create body imbalances.
Masturbation also strengthens your relationship
with yourself. When you know and love yourself on
deeply emotional and physical levels, you gain
confidence and let yourself grow through self-
awareness. Masturbation also strengthens sexual
relationship with your partner because many
couples have different sexual drives and needs;
masturbation is one way to meet the personal
needs not met by a partner. Still, it can be shared
with a partner. Watching a partner masturbate can
teach us what methods our partners use and enjoy.
It can also open up communication between
partners who might assume that the old routine is
okay when it could use a refresher.
The other side of masturbation
However, certain masturbating habits can wreak
havoc on sex life. Studies have also identified
negative effect of masturbation as its inability to
help in terms of infertility. The frequent ejaculation
of the fluid, semen reduces the quality of the
sperm as it gets watery.
Experts say frequent masturbation can irritate the
skin of the penis and constant masturbation with
the penis pressed down against the sheets can
injure the urethra such a way that urine leaves the
penis, not in a stream, but in a hard-to-control
spray. This they say can cause severe urethral
trauma. Men who masturbate may often fail to
satisfy their wives during sex. As you keep
masturbating, your desire for your partner
decreases and this is one of such situations that
can spell doom for your relationship.
Experts have warned that men who frequently
stimulate themselves sexually in ways different
from what their partner does can develop retarded
ejaculation, a sexual dysfunction where you find it
difficult to climax during sex with a partner. |

Nairaland / General / Abe APC Disagree Over Congress In Rivers by Giftedheart(m): 8:36am On Aug 04, 2017 |
The lawmaker representing Rivers South East in the
National Assembly, Senator Magnus Abe, said on
Saturday that the All Progressives Congress in
Rivers State failed to hold its congress in the state.
This is as the state Publicity Secretary of the party,
Mr. Chris Finebone, disagreed with Abe, insisting
that the APC congress was successfully held across
the state.
These two positions may have exposed the crisis
rocking the state APC within the past three months.
Abe explained that recent development in the APC
was disturbing, adding that people were said to be
filling in result sheets without election.
He described the situation as an embarrassment to
the country and maintained that it would be difficult
to change the country if personal behaviours were
not changed.
“As you can see, there has been no congress in the
state. The so-called stakeholders meeting in the
state on Friday ended in a fiasco. The committee
from the national level has not come to the party’s
secretariat on Forces Avenue since morning, yet
people have been here.
“Nobody should stay in a hotel and use any list for
Rivers people. It is clear there was no congress in
the state. Whatever has been done will not stand.”
He further said, “We heard that people were filling in
the result sheets in a hotel while all party leaders
were in the office. This is an embarrassment to the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. I am sure that the whole
country is aware of what’s going on here.
The APC members led by Abe, House of
Representatives member elected on the party’s
platform, Mr. Barinada Mpigi, Chidi Wihioka and
Tony Okocha, who is a former aide to Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, went to the hotel to ask members of the
convention committee to address them there.
They alleged that the team was in the state to rig
the congress against Abe ahead of the APC national
convention. It took the intervention of the state
police command, who took the convention
committee members and Abe to the command’s
headquarters for negotiation, after over four hours of
disagreement at the hotel.
SUNDAY PUNCH, however, learnt that while the
disagreement at the hotel was going on, the pro-
Amaechi members of the party were holding the
election in the 23 local government areas of the
state.
Some of the results showed that in Obio/Akpor LGA,
Lawrence Chuku, Chikordi Dike and Madame
Beatrice Wogunka emerged as delegates, while in
Etche LGA, Nnamdi Okere, Golden Chioma and Mrs.
Cilecilia Mmeni, emerged as delegates.
In Emohua LGA, Sampson Agbaru, Allen Nma, and
Mrs. Otonah were among those elected during the
congress.
Spokesperson for the Rivers APC, Mr. Chris
Finebone, said it was wrong for anybody to say that
there was no party congress in the state on
Saturday.
“I know that the party chairman and some officials
of the party were engaged and that made them not
to go round the way they would have loved to do.
The constituents and delegates were there and most
importantly, INEC was there. That they were not able
to move around does not mean that the congress
did not hold. There is no result written anywhere.
Congresses held across the state,” Finebone said.
Also, the Director General of Nigerian Maritime
Administration and Safety Agency, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, lauded the state chapter of the APC for
the conduct of a non-elective congress and election
of delegates for the party’s forthcoming national
convention.
Peterside, who commended party leaders and
supporters at various levels and congress officials
for conducting a hitch-free exercise, noted that the
Minister of Transportation, Mr. Chibuike
Amaechi,and the state party executives exhibited
sound leadership in achieving transparent
coordination of the congress. |
