Most of those commenting don't understand the gimmicks and antics at play.

This is, though a genuine concern but largely a pretext to the real challenge.

There are growing concerns in the UK, US etc for local manufacturers, Amazon, eBay, NEXT, Argos, Curry etc. Since the advent of Temu, most of the sales of these big companies have kinda dwarfed compared to projections.

Their complaints, though genuine, arose from cost of production. Temu is super cheap because of the model and the exemption from the UK company for some goods and value of items.

1) Temu is Manufacturers to Consumer- it takes a lot to beat that

2) 90% of Temu Sellers don't pay for logistics- they only take their goods to Temu Warehouse in China thereby selling at a ridiculously low fee as Temu helps ship to their destination country.

3) Once you are a seller, you can't raise your price down once it's set and the algorithm is designed to always serve you lowest prices first hence the cheap prices and this drives down sales and lower demand on other companies like Amazon, eBay, etc.

4) Temu is intentionally currently running at a loss to capture the market. This is largely disruption big companies as they've amassed a good proportion of the market share.

Etc. I can keep typing and typing....I found out all these recently when I went into deep research.

I disagree in part.
First, TEMU Use deceptive ad campaign.
Source the cheapest product possible
Target region with weak regulation.

As dishonest EU might appear to you, it's in the interest of their consumers in the long run.

Namaster:
He did it because his mother was a RAGING ALCOHOLIC who had been PESTERING him to use his superpowers to enable her alcoholism.

When the wine finished at a RANDOM wedding in Galilee, Mary saw an OPENING.
She RUSHED straight to Jesus to create MORE wine like she was concerned about the couple.

She did NOT go to couple.
She did NOT go to the couples' parents.
She RAN straight to Jesus.

That's how you know that it DIDN'T start that day.
She'd been HARASSING Jesus for that magical wine for MONTHS.



The pestering was getting TIRESOME and that was why Jesus was very HARSH with his own mother in PUBLIC and replied her thusly when she asked for MORE wine in John 2 vs 4:

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?

It did NOT start that day.
She had been FRUSTRATING him with that request.

And that's the story of how the FIRST ever MIRACLE of the Saviour of Humanity was to get people DRUNK.

It's because of his ALCOHOLIC Mother.


Another thing to NOTE is that Joseph The Simp was already DEAD at this point.
Likely from the heartbreak of raising ANOTHER man's child.

Mary was a CHARACTER.

This is blasphemy! unless you want to prove your claim

Why did Jesus turned water to wine?
Why win?
Same wine that is seen as sin or can lead to sin.

The parties have conducted their primaries and elected their flag bearers for 2027 Presidential election slated for January, 2027; less than 8 months away.

The results are clear evidence that the opposition political parties to the ruling All Progressives Congress(APC) are unserious and unprepared despite having 4 long years to give Nigeria's democracy credible opposition, which is the hallmark of democracy.

Nigeria opposition political parties failed woefully. I am so ashamed of them.

I have started thinking that it is the right thing to do for every Nigerian to reject them and all their candidate across board in all the elective offices, not only in presidential poll, to express their disappointment.

Are you as upset as I am?

You are obviously paid to validate that figure because I will not believe that you didn't see the videos of the said primaries online where they jump from 22 to 1000 while counting. Isn't that enough reason to dismiss the figure as fake?

I know you need us to comment so as to make you feel the sense of virality (if that is a word) and there you have it. Congratulations 🎉

It's really going to be something else in nigeria if these guys wins the champions league trophy they have a very noisy fans like chelsea.

If he reach your turn, do am low-key

Hebrews 8:12
“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”
Is this a direct instruction to us to forgive and forget? Short answer NO long answer NO

“Forgive and forget” is a popular saying, not a direct Bible teaching.
The Bible teaches us to forgive and not hold the offense against people—
but it does not require us to lose memory or abandon wisdom.

Gbam!

Babalegba:
Lol, cursed money will never do anything good and long lasting.

Who cursed the money?

Let he without sin cast the first stone

Employers has don't appreciate my effort, commitment and creativity because I was in the habit of coming late to work ( which is indiscipline) I realized late because I always feel like I am being used. I had to compromise to make up for my indiscipline.

We have all failed at something at a point in time in our life.
Where have you failed and what do you think was the cause of the failure
This thread is not for fictional story please!!!

Lets know how much you have spent on your parents this year and also the special gift you have given them.
This is to challenge someone who has not been spending enough on their parents.

“...

Both of 'em are late so I don't have to spend on them anymore but I can do so in their name.
Meanwhile, what does holy Quran has to say on the subject matter?

Don't use religion to address social issues. A lot will chose to argue just because of it even if they agreed with the point

ppogba:
Banks cannot get that. The banking hall is almost a public place as everyone has the right to entry under the guise of one thing or another.

Opening visitors register cannot happen everywhere

I can even enter bank to drink water or use their restroom

nairalanda1:
He won't have been able to hack the system. I am sure it is password protected...so it would have not been possible.

I guess he thought that the bank had money in the counter area, which is what I strongly suspect he was targeting. He won't have been targeting the strong room, because he would have had to know the combination.(and he would have needed some explosives...like some robberies in Nigeria do for example.or some heavy cranes/excavators..as seen in other countries, like SA...to blow open the entrance)

Also, he could not have been a hacker, again. Hackers WFH to enter bank mainframes, or have inside people. The guy had no one.

(Banking and IT people can explain more please. This is a non-expert view).

Wao, some will argue blindly and make vague assumptions in the field they knows nothing about.

I appreciate your open ended opinion jare

lendahand:
surely @bolded. No time. We are very fit by God's grace.

All the best ............................

I love her a lot guy. She sef knows. I have intentions of taking the relationship further. My point is why stress me a lot. At this age, she should just allow me do trad and load her first, then we conclude the rest later.

That's a good plan and the loading part cracks me up. Pls run all medicals o. Love sometimes is not enough

Switruth:

Well that should be enough. But you can't travel to some countries as a couple with traditional marriage cert.

Switruth:

Na you dey chase curves and vibes. Next time leave the age out and check emotional stability

Ouchbabe:
I have a beautiful marriage. The only challenge is the my hubby is hardly around, always travelling. I sometimes feel lonely.
I also wish we had more money to enable me get a softer babygirl life

Be careful what you wish for. Sometimes we desire a life that brings problem to us

Antoeni:
If you are not ready to be LOYAL AND SUBMISSIVE to a man, stay single and be m!ser@ble.

If a man can't tell you what to do, stay in your father's house and suffer with a Love Machine every night for the rest of your life

That is harsh and thoughtless. But I get your point

Antoeni:
God Forgave Prostitutes, But When it Was Time to Pick The Mother Of His Son, He Chose a Virgin, Brothers You Can Forgive The Long Term Prostitutes in The Church Like God Has Forgave Them, But When it Comes to Choosing The Mother Of Your Kids, Be Like God

That's a joke right? But trust me it's a dry joke

Switruth:
The respect my wife places on me despite her societal status is top notch. I'm a lucky guy.

Don't be too comfortable sir. Try to know why.
The motive matters

njokuuche77:
Before You Say “I Do” please open your ears, mouth and nose and listen to this piece on the Dos and Don’ts of Marriage

My brothers and sisters, let me tell you something very important marriage is not a joke. It’s not all about romance and affection every day. It’s not an Instagram highlight reel. It will test your patience, your finances, your peace of mind, and even your mental health if you don’t choose the right partner.
This is my 6th year in Marriage to the Glory of God.
The best part is I met my wife here on this platform.
You see all those proposals and weddings we see online? They’re beautiful to watch. But the real challenge begins after the wedding day. Let me break it down for you like someone who has experienced it firsthand.

Do Marry for Shared Values, Not Just Feelings
Emotions fade, values are sustainable. Marry someone who aligns with your core beliefs, faith, family, finance, lifestyle, and even how you handle conflict.

Do Observe beyond sweet talk
Watch how they behave when angry, under pressure, or when they don’t get their way. That’s their real self, not the one they show you during dinner dates.

Do ask the hard questions
What are your views on money? Children? Religion? Family involvement? Gender roles? Mental health? Don't avoid these conversations please, they are the foundation.

Do watch how they treat others
The way your partner treats domestic staff, waiters, or even their own parents says a lot. Kindness must go beyond you.

Please have a life before you venture into marriage
Be emotionally, spiritually, and financially stable, or at least on your way there. Marriage is not an escape route. It exposes rather than solves problems.

Please Do insist on mutual respect
Respect is the oxygen of a healthy marriage. Once it’s gone, love begins to choke. Both partners must feel heard, valued, and safe please.

Please Do involve trusted mentors or counsellors. You can also reach out to me
Go for premarital counselling. Not just church-based, but real, honest conversations with someone who can ask the tough questions without bias.

Now let's look at some of the DON'TS
Please never you marry out of pity, pressure or pregnancy
None of these are solid foundations for a lifelong journey. Love and purpose should lead, not panic or manipulation.

Please and Please, don't assume you can change your partner
Marriage doesn’t transform people; it magnifies who they already are. If you can’t accept them as they are today, don’t marry hoping they’ll evolve tomorrow. You will regret.

You forgot to add the views on Medicare, and child bearing

And not couples must not model their marriage or personal life on an influencer or celeb.

You never believe in marriage to begin with. So that explains why you are pessimistic

lendahand:
imagine 34 year old lady I want to marry is insisting on court wedding, trad and white wedding before she will allow me have sex with her, can you imagine? Me I like her and she is a virgin but her conditions can't be met by me.

You don't like her. You like what she carries. Meanwhile, at 34, a lady should tell when she who want to just play from a real deal

Kobojunkie:
The topic is nothing about me or my private life, and so, I see no reason why you should concern yourself with that.

Let it slide or you two should just meet at eagle square do boxing

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:
you na weyrey alasho, they will just be minding their own business

He is a genius of sort.
But one day monkey go enter market and will not return

efficiencie:
I like her but she dey quick vex. Like she is waiting to blast people.

If you are so sure of the gender then I will assume you guys knew one another.

Amwitty:
please why do you say so.....................................................................

He want to generalize his bitter experience.

efficiencie:
First you assumed I was comparing I wasn't. I just wanted to know your view. Two you said "your submissive marriage" and I didn't claim to have a submissive marriage in the question. Clearly you are the one that is incensed here. Rushing into unfounded assumptions and not really communicating. You are almost always antagonistic for no reason. You need to chill.

You guys seems to live in the same apartment.
