I can't agree more.

LordReed:
By this logic everything is special. Check this:

The day your kid, your momma or anyone dear to your heart can't eat, that's when you'll know there's something special in it.

The day your kid, your momma or anyone dear to your heart can't shit, that's when you'll know there's something special in it.

The day your kid, your momma or anyone dear to your heart can't drink water, that's when you'll know there's something special in it.

The day your kid, your momma or anyone dear to your heart can't walk, that's when you'll know there's something special in it.

Substitute just about anything and it sounds exactly like what you wrote. You really need to understand the difference between special and mundane.

1 Corinthians 1:18-25
For the message about Christ's death on the cross is nonsense to those who are being lost; but for us who are being saved it is God's power.
The scripture says: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise     and set aside the understanding of the scholars.”
So then, where does that leave the wise? or the scholars? or the skilful debaters of this world? God has shown that this world's wisdom is foolishness!
For God in his wisdom made it impossible for people to know him by means of their own wisdom. Instead, by means of the so-called “foolish” message we preach, God decided to save those who believe.
Jews want miracles for proof, and Greeks look for wisdom.
As for us, we proclaim the crucified Christ, a message that is offensive to the Jews and nonsense to the Gentiles;
but for those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, this message is Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God.
For what seems to be God's foolishness is wiser than human wisdom, and what seems to be God's weakness is stronger than human strength.


Romans 1:21-22
They know God, but they do not give him the honour that belongs to him, nor do they thank him. Instead, their thoughts have become complete nonsense, and their empty minds are filled with darkness.
They say they are wise, but they are fools;

jaephoenix:
Listen. People sleep and wake up due to the circadian rhythm in the brain. Its not rocket science or a supernatural event. There's no miracle there. Most times folks die in their sleep its cos of a co-morbidity(disease) they have been ignoring
For example, someone hit his head on the floor, sustains a subarachnoid hemorrhage and instead of going to the hospital, they stay home. Such a person sleeps off and that's the end

But the man uses too many f words in his movies 😁😁

Stop showing us your good life that we don't have. Just enjoy it and thank God for it.

Actually the organizers' only problem was that they underestimated the wonders tinubu is doing in the lives of Nigerians.

Real shot fired. You can say that again.

Zionmdde:
We all shouting "crucify them" for setting out to put smiles on the faces of some children

They announced their free gift event
Do we Blame them for the massive crowd they might never have envisaged?
But we don't Blame govt for the massive poverty
We don't blame parents for the negligence on their own part.

It has become very obvious that having good intentions in this country is scary and may land you jail terms.

Them nor dey use as body take scratch person take dey scratch am, or else you go bleed..

A good one

YoungLionken:
No, don't cut off totally. Them nor dey use as body take scratch person take dey scratch am, or else you go bleed..

In as much as some families are some kind, don't live a life of seclusion. You know why, they will suffer your kids and your wife (especially her) when you're gone. They will tag her a "bad wife" falsely accusing her of keeping you away from them. Let's not even talk about your inheritance that the so called kinsmen will convert to theirs as compensation. Legal will? Well, except your kinsmen are not diabolic (it is not as if you would know anyway), or else it is your kids and wife that would run for their lives, leaving inheritance behind. Based on live experience brother, don't or else your children and wife go hear ween for their hand during your interment at old age (by God's grace)...

LoL 😂 😂 😂 "if you remove fear from your life" 😅😅😅

oz4real83:
Though inflation is high, this is just too outrageous, you will get to the same destination with far less than that amount if you remove fear from your life and go to berger to board buses with unpopular names

How many square feet of metcoppo would be enough for a building similar to the last picture in this post?

I bet you do

LordReed:
The one who knows the difference between mundane and special.

🙂 People go to bed and wake up everyday. Who do you think is smarter; the one who celebrate waking up each day like a special miracle or the rest of us who take it for granted?

LordReed:
People misplace and find their keys everyday so what is special about finding your key?

You know it.

I apologize if the complexity of my Mandarin surpasses your capacity for comprehension.

Wrong. All they care about isn't making money. People like Jack, all they care about is impact. Changing the world. I've also met Americans who love money passionately.

MadamVanessa:



White billionaires don't give a flying f*ck about their dressing sense, all the care about is making money and more money.

US politicians have stayed longer than that at the capitol. Those confronting the lawmaker should've focused on his track record instead of the bullshit they were spewing. What do they mean by he has no right to stay in office? How can they take us seriously if this is what we've got upstairs?

Well said. I support speaking out and speaking truth to power but those confronting the man are no better.

yarimo:
illiterate youths, one of them saying the lawmaker has no rights to remain in office. with constitutional section says that for a lawmaker ? Another one saying bayelsa doesn't have anyone to represent them? Illiterate youth again. Isn't all about contest for anyone that wants to be elected as lawmaker?

Some things need to change. Not because the intention is bad, but because the method is."

No. Some things need to change not because the intention is bad but because the newer generation have become terribly corrupt. They see perversion in everything. This is an old tradition that has gone on without issues until this generation.

The Bible says, to the corrupt, everything is corrupt.

I don't know how Nairaland's email thing works because I hardly see the email people send me. I haven't been able to see yours, either. So let me just drop the man's number here. He gave me permission: 08035845660

Trippledots:
Ok, IV sent you a mail

Yes, God did it. Thank you.

Openair:
Congrats OP...GOD DID!!!

Actually, missing keys can stay missing. I don't see what's mundane about a woman who found her keys and felt it was a miracle. Those keys could stay missing.

LordReed:
Honestly it's mind boggling. The most mundane things are seen as noteworthy. Imagine someone giving testimony that she found her keys that were missing. SMH.

Why don't you make your point in English?

Imagine Moses slugging through the desert for 40 years, then arrive in Promiseland and it's another Egyptian province!

My trip back is another topic I wish to make a post about. It went well except for my unsavory encounters with police and custom agents. Although my papers were complete and vehicle's custom clearance was airtight, they still insist on collecting money and delaying us for no justifiable reasons. Other than that, the trip was good. The SUV is sound - and fast. As for the dealer, let me say again that I can't vouch for his honesty. All I know is that God's hand is in the success I had. Still, I'll give you his contact via email. Drop your email address here.

KabirHakeem:
Happy for you man, I have been following this thread. Could you please drop the details of that dealer? And how was your trip back home?

How much?

You're very bad

Carndidlaydid:
Real wife material if you ask me


Ithink you still owe her


All these stingy men sha

Yes, indeed, we're our own problems. The level of corruption in the country these days is unprecedented. It's never been this bad.

Pootle:
i followed your tread from when you where window shopping till you deposited for the car and all the negative comments you had to promise someone cash reward for a positive comment. i really wanted you to get your car and proof douters wrong. the seller was a honest man and all prasie to him. when i wanted to sell one item quit expensive the buyer was in the north and we never met neither did he know me and he sent the complete money and i waybill his item without story. from the negative response it showed that we are the problem of ourselve in this country we eat and drink negativity. jus showes the country need purging

Well, to each man his own. Don't relate to God based on what you observe in "religious" people. Many go to church; few are God lovers. Few keep His word like it's a religion. Meanwhile, all the promises of God are tied to His word. God lovers are guaranteed winners. That's what I know. I don't look at God based on what I see or based on the experience of others. I don't even look at God based on my experience. I look at Him based on what He says He is - as written in the Bible. But like I said, to each man his own.

kingxsamz:
Congrats to you but there's nothing like god here. Dealer was just honest as others have said. A lot of people who are going to church and pray more than you do not even know where their next meal will come from and you're here talking about miracle over N12m car deal. 😂
You funny sha.
Anyways, if most Nigerians were this honest, such a thing would be normal. Same way Nigerians fast and pray for things that irreligious people enjoy in foreign countries. Here we elect terrible leaders and expect miracle to happen.
Once again, congrats because I know the level of unrest the comments in that thread must have caused.😂

Hmm, very terrible. I'm glad you shared this story. It's another trap to watch out for.

ajailer:
I lost the car eventually. Na scam wey naija ppl wey dey ship goods from abroad and our customs ppl dey do nah, by the time demurrage enter millions, u sef go just leave am there and accept the loss as lesson learnt..... after like 7 months or more, custom will now declare the car up for auctions, then they will now sell it to themselves. Wicked lots.

Thank you

WhiteIverson:
Congrats

Okay, I'll email you his number. But I won't vouch for his honesty o. I believe what happened is an act of God. I believe it with all my heart. Give me your email address.

Trippledots:
Abeg share the seller number. Honest business people now na gold o.

Don't I know it. Thank you.

Trippledots:
Some people wanted the evil, just to prove a point. Or say "shebi I tell you"...happy for the OP ni. Na big risk he take, and thankfully it ended well.

And you didn't get the car eventually? Why won't the seller send you the bill of laden?

ajailer:
Naija ppl too callous my broda. I remember dat year I had a car imported for me, d car got to Apapa but I couldn't clear it cos the guy dat helped me to ship it from US won't give me the bill of laden despite being paid all what he asked for. Na so the car waka like that o and plenty bad stories like that abound for the industry. God does not leave His people, their interest is His interest.

Na God run this matter for me because I enter trap true true. God is who He says He is.

ajailer:
Truly God took over the matter for you cos the auto sales industry is a very terrible place. Congrats.

Dear God! Really? Listen, a woman was riding her bicycle when President Trump's motorcade drove by. She flipped him off simply because she didn't like Trump. I mean, she gave the President the middle finger and not even a single vehicle from the long escort cars stopped. I mean, the Secret Service were riding with the President at that time. They didn't as much as touch her, although she was eventually fired by her boss at work. Interestingly, the woman ran for office and won.

https://www.cnbc.com/2019/11/06/cyclist-fired-for-flipping-off-presidents-motorcade-wins-local-office.html

Now, imagine flipping off President Tinubu. If that doesn't tell you the type of country you live in, I don't know what will.

yarimo:
Behave yourself and stop feeling you are above the law isn't that simple
