Doctor: tell me how you feel?
Patient: I used to have fever, occasionally headache, chills and running stomach.
Doctor musing inside himself, it must be malaria.
Doctor: When last did you take malaria and worm medicine?
Patient : I was here last three weeks, remember?
Doctor: Ok, let me be frank with you, there are unknown enemies, we don't see, having been taking your medication and the sickness is ongoing, it must be spiritual attack, you need a strong pastor to pray for you.

Oya tell me.

What did tinubu start with that can generate this kind of income?
He was born the same day his mates are born.
He was assumed to be born in a rich family, just like others.
But a spark at one time in his life, refocused his attention to be different from others.
Pray for this spark, you will start to do things differently, the ways and the manners people around you live and do things.
Besides politics he is a successful businessman, a father that stores good things for his children.
Most parents live their lives saying there are nothing in this world concept and hammered same into their children, their children recycle same mental attitude looking for pennies, where others are calling for millions and working toward it, you are afraid to call out such.
May God bless all wealthy men.

EducationRe: Photos Of Nigerian Law School In Port Harcourt Built By Rivers State Government. by highoctane: 10:50am On Jun 28, 2022
The report that Peter Ibo save #77bln for Anambra State to me lacks a heart of wisdom and business sense.
Anambra State indigenes are anointed for business.
Hence what prevented Peter Ibo, not to build an R&grin institute for business development in his state?. Institute for technology transfer, Institute of Transport & Science Technology.
Most past governors of Rivers State don't save money, they use public money to build legacies.
Under the stead of Amaechi and Woke, I can say Rivers State happens to be more stable than any other state, let someone who have the spirit of Amaechi and Wike hold Rivers again.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is The Most Effective Way Of Preaching The Gospel? by highoctane: 2:00pm On Jun 26, 2022
jesusjnr2020:
What Is The Most Effective Way Of Preaching The Gospel?

The greatest and most inspiring leader and preacher that ever lived was Jesus.

It isn't by coincidence that He commands the largest following and religious group on Earth.

The reason He was able to inspire humans to that unparalleled degree was His extraordinary leadership. He was a leader that led His followers not just by Words but also by example.

His disciples who played an important and sacrificial role in bringing His Gospel to the world must have been really inspired by the Gospel He preached, but I believe what inspired them most was the Gospel He lived.

He was a leader that didn't just teach His disciples how to serve or to humble themselves, but literally took a bucket and towel and started to clean and wash the feet of His own servants.

Above all, He was the Good shepherd who humbled Himself, went as a lamb before the slaughter, and laid down His life for His sheep.

So if He being their Lord and Master could humble Himself and serve to that degree, how much more they being His servants?

Hence the selfless and sacrificial lives His disciples went on to live for His Name and Gospel sake. They were inspired by the life and example of the best Leader that ever was. That's the reason why we have His Gospel presently with us today.

It's sad though to see how much such selfless and exemplary leadership of Jesus, and also His disciples who followed His example, is lacking in the present day church.

I pray the day would return when the church was led by leaders who did not just lead and preach the Gospel with their mouths but also with their lives.

God bless.
The same primitive method of preaching of Jesus, House to House, Seashore by sea shore, Market places, along the road, Water places, even in ceremonies etc. Practice today by Jehovah's witnesses in over 250 countries, Island and Seas.
They stood out as foot soldiers of Christ, no other evangelical church have come close.

Christianity EtcRe: Let The Dead Bury The Dead (What Jesus Actually Meant?) by highoctane: 12:42pm On Jun 19, 2022
YoudeyVexme:
I have tried understanding that scripture since I was a kid, till now I still don't understand.
Does he mean the owo attack that people died in the church, living members shouldn't have buried them. But leave them there for the dead people to come bury them?
You don't use what is not an emergency to beg off.
When an accident happens, it an emergency because it involves saving of life, also like ones home is on fire, these are legitimate excuses to beg off.
But when someone is dead, even without burying such body, within months, what you will see are bones and some sinews.
Example if one is to have a promotion interview or a huge contract to sign, will you tell a person or firm, please have me excused, let me go and bury my father.
Jesus extended an invitation that will lead the man to everlasting life, not wanting to get involved with Jesus or what he represented, he came up with that flimsy excuse.

Christianity EtcRe: Will Bad People Burn In Hell? by highoctane: 12:31pm On Jun 12, 2022
Hell! No!
Hell isn't a bad place to be. Jesus spent a better part of three days, when he died, for there is no fire or never will ever be a fire in hell.
Read Acts of Apostles 2: 31"He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption". KJV
Note his soul was not left in hell. Hell here mean't common grave of mankind.
And it has never come into God's mind to burn persons in fire.

Read Jeremiah 7:30-31 "For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the LORD: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it.
31 And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; [img]which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart.[/img]
(king James Version)
Any religion that teaches what the bible did not teach or put words into God's mouth will consider it's self an enemy to him.

Good evening house.
My phone got stolen last year November. The thief cut my window net and stole my phone along with the charger through the window. I woke up around 4.a.m searching for my phone with no success till I looked at the window and saw the big hole staring at me. I was so shocked is an understatement.

I have replaced my phone but right now I wake up in the night and start looking for my phone even if I must have safely keep it.

I wake up and first thing I search for, is my phone.
I open eyes, first thing I want to see, is my phone. sad


How do I stop this biko? grin Who have experienced this? Is it panic attack or what?
You are very normal comrade, any person who have a phone always wake to reach out for his or her phone, many comrades all over the world don't even pray before reaching out for their phone,Nairaland, Twitter etc has replaced prayer first.
Take it easy your are normal, you can also set up phone alarm to wake you up at a specific time, and see if it will help.
Don't be paranoid,ok.

PoliticsRe: Reverend Yinka Yusuf: How Peter Obi Bruised My Ego & I Felt Embarrassed by highoctane:
All over the world except China, ( Note but it can be added as a service charge) tips of little token from 50¢-$2 may be given to hotel maids, luggage carrier staff, Porters, (Both in airports and Hotels). In airports you re at will to haul your bags and luggage by yourself. If the man who is assumed to be humble was approach to be help by a luggage porter to help him to the plane staircase and gave him a tip of 1naira, will that dent his account or liquidate him? Though porters are not employed based on the tip they will receive from patrons, but tips are sign of good will and appreciation.
In many hotels in US, UK, and Europe, hotels been a hospitality business, porters will come quickly to handle these little inconvenience, thereby attracting a tip, which might be declined.
That one is hauling his small travel luggage does not translate to been humble or modesty.
How do you put bread in another person's table? 1: Through employment.
2: Through training and support to establish the one trained.
Does it mean that the man hauling his lauggage, can not employ either a male or female personal aide to handle this little matter of haulage and in extension other duties related to his travel or non travel intenary, thereby been paid month after month.
For the bible preacher to feel bruised or rub off his ego,by what does not amount to nothing showed a melancholic comedy.
Jesus Christ himself have staff ministering ( in the sense of handling his domestic duties) to him and the other apostles. Read Luke 8: 1-3 "And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. King James Version.
These showed that Jesus Christ must have large number of retinues.
Does this showed that Jesus Christ lacked humility?
Wanting to do everything by and for himself?
Did these women benefitted from Jesus Christ, Yes! Everlasting life.
What will a luggage porter benefit from the one whom he or she handled his or her luggage? Pennies.

dmostcheerful:
That is my governor.
He came to my school then twice.
He opened bore hole water for us, gave us our first free computer in school then, he integrated computer studies into our curriculum then, school fees was free I can clearly remember,we only paid for our boarding house fee then.
Our school fees was #2050 and house fee was #4500, we only paid #4500 and #150(exam fee).
He built new classroom blocks and renovated our hostels.
Our school was girls secondary school when I resumed but when he assumed office he gave it back to the Anglican and it became Anglican girls secondary school.
He made it mandatory for all exam class to stay for extra curriculum class school closes by 2:30pm we stayed for extra moral class till 4:30pm.
It was compulsory for all exam class to board the school hostel.
Men things changed, I only took Waec once and it was exceptional, he brought a whole lot of changes in the educational sector I knew all this cause I was a witness, unlike before teachers were mandated to sign in and out of school everyday, it wasn't normal business like before, you must come to school as a teacher, in time at that, you must stay till school is over and sign out.
Class attendance was a must, every teacher must sign in and out of class.
He doesn't even let the school know he will be coming.
I still remember the first day he came to our school, he interviewed upto 10 students and asked us what we needed, our greatest need then was water, cause we didn't have any source of water in school then we normally go out of school to fetch every 2day.
He lest that day and the next week bore hole was drilled for us.
Men than man good.
I didn't know any other thing he did except what I listed above.
I graduated 2008, the last time he came he gave our then senior prefect his phone number and bought phones in every school hostels for emergency and after that he gave us a free school clinic.
I was for the first time able to give him a hand check 2007 cause I was oportuned to meat him one on one as I was the school chapel prefect then.
Obi was good.
He smiled alot as a person.
My able governor. We will always love you.
For the first time in 10yrs I and my husband went for our PVC, if only 2 people will vote for Obi, it will be both of us.

FamilyRe: Adopted Son Or Biological Son: Who Gets One's Inheritance? by highoctane: 8:40pm On Jun 06, 2022
FalseProphet1:
There's this mild drama currently going on in the family. My uncle died late last year (at an old age). The problem here is that they some delay in child birth, (7 years after their wedding to be prescise) so during this long wait, he and the wife decided to adopt a male child.

7 years after his adoption, children started popping in. They had a set of twins (males) and then 2 boys and a girl making it 5 biological children.

This my uncle was a wealthy man, so he had properties in the town of their state of origin and in the village.

Upon his death last year, the eldest son (the one who was adopted) sealed off the property in their village and claimed ownership of the 3 rental buildings in the town. This angered my uncle's brothers who were of the opinion that he's not family and therefore has no right to do such when the man's biological kids are very much around.

So they (the uncles) had a meeting with the biological sons of their late brother to get rid of what they termed an outcast in their midst.

They later invited the adopted young man to the village and used the community youths to beat him up and threatened to kill him if he doesn't stay away from their family properties. That he should look for his own biological parents and inherit whatever they left for him.

Now this didn't go down well, cos he used the police to lock up one of the twins and the whole family members are threatening fire and brimstone if the young man isn't released. They took the matter to the community elders who of course supported them by saying the adopted man has no right of forceful claim to any property unless it's given to him willingly by the family members.

As of now they have destroyed his wife's business in one of the buildings, burnt his car and have vowed to even kill him if he doesn't release their son.

That's why I brought it here. Was the adopted son wrong to have claimed ownership of his late father's properties without the official nod of the family members?

Do adopted children have right of inheritance in the family they find themselves?

What's your opinion on this matter.


Modified: I forgot to add that my uncle hasn't been buried because of this matter. His body is still in the mortuary cos there have to be an agreement from the family before burial takes place, and since the family is in chaos, the burial cannot hold for now.
Did your uncle drew up a will?
What you have here is the case of Ishmael and Isaac.

Was it because they are no longer making returns from their failure to fill to the brim broken limbs in orthopedic hospitals owned by the government? Mortuary is now becoming empty, because less dead bodies are not trucked in on daily basis?.
