My ex-classmate Usman Oladipo ‘languishing’ as general manager in Nigerian mediocre bank: Shettima



Mr Shettima’s recent remark cements his reputation as a politician who lacks tact in communicating an opinion without denigrating others.

These people are high.

Seems like a coordinated effort to make life unbearable.

I pray for his soul, and that he has woken up to eternal life.

Don’t misquote me.

I said non-resistance to evil.

Corrections:
Preventing attack is different from revenging attack. All what you wrote there are about revenging. Did Jesus teach Christians not to prevent attack?

Just asking!!!!!

There’s no place on earth without its own set of problems.

The very premise of Christianity is non-resistance to evil.

Anything contrary to this is not aligned with what Jesus taught.

If you are attacked, persecuted, killed and murdered, do not resist.
If you are slapped, do not resist.
If you are exploited, do not resist.
If you have been cheated, do not go to court or resist.

A tough pill to swallow.

The most significant gift I received was heartbreak. Life transforming. Highly recommended.

Interesting15:
Since I was born and up until now, I've been receiving different gifts from different sources. However, I will talk about the greatest gift I received many years ago when I was still a very young teenager, that changed my life forever.

First of all, this gift was given to me by GOD Himself, and is best summarized in John 3:16 -

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

So, God has been loving me way before I was born. And what is the proof of His love for me? He gave me His pleasant Gift! The greatest Gift ever! What's the Gift? THE GIFT OF SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST!
Wow!

The greatest decision I made that transformed my life was when I decided to embrace His gift and surrender my life genuinely to Jesus Christ years back as a young teenager, making the decision to serve HIM and maintain a good relationship with HIM in spirit and in truth.

That decision changed everything about me, and my relationship with God empowered me in all important ways. Despite being a very young person, I could live above sin, the devil and hell. Hence, I couldn't even relate with addictions and heartaches and headaches that are prominent in the circle of many young folks.

I received the gift of the Holy Spirit, which is the prominent gift God is eager to give His begotten children (those who have received the gift of salvation) as a loving Father (Luke 11:13).

The greatest gift God is eager to give an unbeliever is salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. The greatest gift God is eager to give a child of His (i.e. a baby Christian) is the Holy Spirit. The greatest gift God is eager to commit to His sons (a mature believer who has received and is faithful with the gifts of salvation and the Holy Spirit) is the keys of His kingdom.

By accepting the gifts of God, I embraced a relationship with Jesus which set me on the pathway of destiny and purpose fulfillment early enough. Hence, I don't experience idleness, hopelessness, and helplessness. I've never been stranded in my life. The Holy Ghost empowered me for dominion.

Jesus is sweet.

The greatest decision you can make today is to accept the gift God has been offering you too. It starts by embracing Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and you nurturing an intimate relationship with God your Father. This is what will empower you to live a life of complete dominion here on earth, and make you a sure candidate of Heaven (the rapture will take place anytime soon).

Run away from sin, and live your life for GOD. It is your destiny to live inside GOD through Jesus Christ Who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Only Jesus Christ could boldly proclaim: "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6).

If you want to submit to Jesus, simply say this prayer:

"LORD JESUS, I believe in my heart that You died for me and You raised on the third day for my justification. And so I confess with my mouth that You are my Lord and Savior. From today, I belong to the family of God. Thank You for giving me eternal life."

God bless you.

Great point

Pukkalolo:
I disabled my previous account "putit" and opened a new account on nairaland around 2020 and started dishing out my unique hardcore dating wisdom. And since then hundreds of people have reach out to me through PM or through the link in my signature.

A lot of people reach out for different reasons: many purchase my book, Top G dating secrets (Shameless approach); some only came to enquire more about my book and go ; some just came to get more dating advise from me but ended being my cool friends; some came to do business deals with me; some just reached out to get the free version of my book me and so on....

I've got massive RESPECT for all these fellas who reached out to me and for those who will still do.

Now, to the main gist...

Last month a guy reach out. According to him, he has read all my posts on nairaland pertaining dating and relationships and he's totally impressed by unique knowledge. He said my dating advise has helped him alot with his relationship with his girlfriend, now fiance.

We chat back and forth for a week on the phone, then he requested we meet in person.

Normally, I'd shy away from meeting people in person especially if it's from a faceless forum like nairaland. Yeah, I'm actually a shy guy. But for a weird reason I agree to meet with him.

He said he wanted a copy of my book but he prefers the hardcopy(printed copy). He said he's an old fashion guy and so he prefers to read from book than reading digitally. So I had to go with an hardcopy left with me to meet up with him.

On the set day, I arrive as early possible to our meeting point on the island. I love keeping to time; that's how I was brought up. I'm never late for any event or appointment.

I sat and waited for him, soon he arrived in this nice car. We were both surprised by what we saw.

We exchanged pleasantries for a minute, then we sat at the eatery.

I asked surprisingly, "wait, is that your car?"

He smiled and said "Yes!"

He asked surprisingly, "Wait... are you the Pukkalolo that always post those dating gems on nairaland?"

I said, "Yes, Why?"

He said he was expecting to see a redpill tough alpha wannabe but he's surprised to see that I'm actually a normal cool dude.

We talked happily for a while, then I gave him the hard copy of my book. I said I wanna give him for free, but he declined and said he'll pay for it. He asked for my account details.

Guess what? He transferred 5x the actually money he was suppose to pay. I felt really appreciative. Wow! Freaking Wow!

We parted ways but we still kept in touch.

From his clothing to his watch, phone and car, you can tell he's a big boy. I don't know what he does for a living. I don't care. It's not my freaking business.

But I never knew nairaland harbors low-key millionaires (and billionaires) who are actually reading my posts.

Here's the truth: this might be faceless forum, but never look down on anyone here. The person you're a bashing and insulting here and there might be the governor's son that'll possibly change your fucking life.

I never bash or use any abusive words on anyone here on nairaland; I am only here to ADD GENUINE VALUE, as a result, this has help me build massive amount of followers and friendships with many of the coolest guys here.

Many times, guys have compare me to Ubunja and ilegend. Infant the other day a guy who sent me e-mail said he initially thought I was ubunja operating in another account. I found his statement funny tho.

Guys like Ubunja, ilegend and Pukkalolo share one thing in common: they are only here to add genuine value.

Ok. Enough talk.

Anyways...

My point is, Never look down on anyone here. Jesse Jackson once said, "The only justification for ever looking down on somebody is to pick them up."

Stay blessed.

DNA testing for paternity purposes is banned in France and Germany.

LOGICALKEN:
My brother met a girl two years ago at a friend’s bachelor’s eve. They were kinda dating and some months after the girl said she was pregnant, at first she said the pregnancy wasn’t for my brother, some weeks later she came back and said the pregnancy is his.

My bro accepted all responsibility and took care of her while she was pregnant. We even went to the family to let them know my bro is responsible for the pregnancy.

During delivery my bro paid all medical bills which was a bit high because she delivered through C.S, now my bro has been taking adequate care of the child and mum.

When the child was about 3 months old, a friend of my brother’s baby mama called and asked my brother to conduct a DNA test on the boy, my bro was surprised, when he told me about it I adviced we conduct the DNA, when we informed the girl we want to conduct a DNA she sounded confident and was like “una get money to waste na”. We travelled to her city and did the DNA and about a month later the result came out, surprisingly my brother is not the father.

Now my bro is demanding a Total refund of everything he has spent on the boy, the girl’s family has been begging. Should my brother just forfeit everything and move on or press charges?

I FEAR WOMAN SHA, with this experience even if I born 30 children for this life, I go do DNA for all of them one by one.

I thought it was the same wall, since the story mentions that Sungbo Eredo extends all the way to Benin city.

Rossikk:
I think you may be confusing the Benin wall with the OTHER massive Nigerian wall, the Eredo Earthworks also known as Sungbo's Eredo, located near Ijebu Ode.

The queen who ordered its construction was Bilikisu Sungbo, and some have posited that she was the legendary Queen of Sheba. ('Ijebu' and 'Sheba' could well be referring to the same place.

'Sheba' sounds like what an oyinbo person would call Ijebu.

The actual story is fantastic.

There’s a portion of the wall you can visit at Epe.

The story told by the locals says it was built by Queen Sheba (yes the one that visited Solomon) and she had giants working for her on the construction.

Crazy story, but you know, the truth is stranger than fiction.

Rossikk:
Our Ancestors Built This Wall 600 Years Ago. Today We Would Pay CHINA To Do It

According to British newspaper, the UK Guardian,

''The Guinness Book of Records (1974 edition) described the walls of Benin City and its surrounding kingdom as the world’s largest earthworks carried out prior to the mechanical era. According to estimates by the New Scientist’s Fred Pearce, Benin City’s walls were at one point “four times longer than the Great Wall of China, and consumed a hundred times more material than the Great Pyramid of Cheops [in Egypt]”.

Situated on a plain, Benin City was enclosed by massive walls in the south and deep ditches in the north. Beyond the city walls, numerous further walls were erected that separated the surroundings of the capital into around 500 distinct villages.

Pearce writes that these walls “extended for some 16,000 km in all, in a mosaic of more than 500 interconnected settlement boundaries. They covered 6,500 sq km and were all dug by the Edo people … They took an estimated 150 million hours... to construct, and are perhaps the largest single archaeological phenomenon on the planet”.

By Emmanuella Chigozie Eze

ALL FOR THE FAME

Leaked sex tape is now the order of the day
Our ladies have certainly gone mad again
Their dignity they use in playing games
Their conciense they sold all for the fame

Dear believer don't be decieved
Their nude videos should never be viewed
Not by you or any child of God
Spare the child and spoil the rod

All for the fame they gave up their dignity
What a shame to feminity
All for the fame they killed their identity
What a slap to Christianity

Now listen to me dear believer
I urge you never to shiver
It pays to serve God
So spare the child and spoil the rod

Don't fall to this trap
At night turn on your lamp
With bible on your lap
Pray for grace not to slack

Dear believer pray not to be misguided
Pray so as to always stay focused
Pray for the grace not to go against God
All for the fame

Justin Bieber's Song lonely is a song which the title sound like a love song but the lyrics is entirely different.

May be that's the price you pay for the money and fame at an early age

Tbh, I didn't know anything about the Mohbad celebrity that just died but I saw the thread which made FP about his death when it was just created but ignored.

If you are praying to live long, then be ready to experience some things whether good or bad .

To have money and fame at an early age, there are price if not prices to pay.

Still wondering what could have led to the Mohbad guy's death if not spiking of his drink

I had the gory first hand experience less than a month ago.

I am a solo drinker, prefer to have my drink and waka. So it was my as usual solo drinking, I saw this lady coming with a guy, the lady sat not too far from me while the guy left for counter to get drinks. Well, that was none of my business just observation.

The guy came back, gave the lady the drink and left, again none of my business. So after some mins , this said lady tried to initiate a conversation with me, I no be womanizer, even if I am, she wasn't my type in anyway, in order not to embarrass her, I tried to respond to her .

I was curious just to ask about the guy she came with, she told me the guy is his brother that they just lost one of their relatives and decided to have a drink. That's normal.

So she mover closer to where I was sitting from her distant place before. We had some chats for some mins and then she requested I buy her a drink, that no shouldn't be a big deal but eventually it was. Before I returned, my drink was spiked, that should be around 10pm , I returned back home the next morning around 9pm from God knows where without remembering what happened between 10pm to 9am.

How my money was transferred my account around 4 am that I couldn't remember a shit, it wasn't the transfer my problem, how they got my pin without me given them is not something possible, but I have no record of it.

Whatever might have been spiked into my drink was something powerful enough to erase your thinking or your action without being consciously aware.

I truly believe people can hate you for no single reason, just for hating sake. Same scenario can be related to this Mohbad guy. Wetin fit kill him at just 27 or so?

This shows that Nigerian youth are a loaded gun waiting to be aimed at big things.

All they need is proof that it can be done, and that it’s lucrative.

This is a positive trait.

Nigeria's madness in everything is getting out of hand but we are good at, breaking yeye records

Languages are a form of consciousness.

There are concepts and ideas that cannot be translated from one language to another.

Therefore the identity, history and mental domain of a people is typically encoded in their language.

The Yorubas have the added advantage of culturally valuing non-verbal communication (emotional intelligence), which lifts the Yoruba language into the 4th dimension.

It is right for its use to be propagated by the Yorubas.

It’s called cause and effect.

Pretty basic law of the universe.

Pwettylinda:


Yoruba people have started dividing the one Nigeria they are always romancing and cuddling

Humanity is meant to live in the amalgamation of individual realities created by the most highly developed mind or group of minds in every field. Etc your car should be serviced by a mechanic with the most highly developed mechanically inclined mind, and that mechanic’s mind should become the industry standard.

When you look at the degraded and poorly trained, indisciplined minds parading themselves as professionals around us, the reason for the state of Nigerian cities becomes very clear.

I have a theory.

The way any place (street, city, room) looks is a direct expression of the mind of the people that built it and live in it.

In other words you’re seeing a direct image of the collective mind of the inhabitants.

When the city builders are professionals, the inhabitants are blessed to live in what is in essence, the minds of the construction professionals.

End of theory.

Raydos:
I've been to 15 states in Nigeria my whole life, and one thing I always notice is, Untarred roads, Lack of drainage system, Lack of proper planning e.t.c

Which always make me curious, Why does everywhere in Nigeria look like it got hit by a nuclear bomb? Why? Why don't we have modern streets and cities!!

Since the inception of Nigeria, I Don't think we have built any city, And please don't even mention Banana island, It's a piece of crap!!

It's sad that only about 3% of Nigeria is actually developed and the other 97% is just straight up piece of trash!!

Say no to all forms of oppression.

Retrogression in the name of civilization.

Kingzjayzee:
The UK on Monday, September 4 announced that Nigerians and other citizens, except British and Irish nationals, wishing to enter the country must apply for Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA).

The new rule becomes effective from November 15, 2023, and applies to everyone, including children.

The new travel rule means that all visa applicants wishing to travel to the UK need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) card before they enter or transit through the country,

The UK home office said persons who need the travel permit are those who were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK.

Also listed for ETA are those on visits shorter than six months, business people, tourism, and those visiting family and friends. Applicants are required to apply online before booking any travel to the UK. Once granted, it will be valid for multiple journeys over two years or until the passport one is applying with expires.

According to the UK Home Office, travellers with valid visas may not be allowed to board without a valid ETA, as the ETA is digitally linked to travellers’ passports.

A statement from the UK office reads: “The UK travel requirements are changing. Except for British and Irish citizens, everyone, including children who enter or transit through the UK, will soon require permission before they travel.

"This means that if you were previously eligible to visit the UK without a visa and not already legally resident in the UK, you will need an electronic travel authorisation (ETA), your stay must be shorter than six months and could include tourism or visiting family and friends, transit, business, and short term study.

“You do not need to show a paper copy, but it may be helpful to prove the confirmation email for your own records while an ETA grants you permission to travel to the UK, it does not grant you entry. So, you would still need to go through passport control at the border to enter the UK. “Make sure you show the same passport you used to apply for your ETA and that your passport is valid for the whole of your stay."
