Perspectives:
Marriage is one of the next thing in my life right now and I don't want to get it wrong.

What are those things that can convince a person to tie a knot without regretting later in the future?

Are there signs that should be looked out for?

What are those red flags that shouldn't be ignored?

Married people, about to married, people in serious relationship, please we need your input.

Sir, I like your courage and sincerity to get it right. The best and most important you need to live with any person including your wife is KNOWLEDGE. If you know yourself and seek to know the other person, you will be able to live with the next person. Never seek to be understood first, always try to understand the other person and you can live with them. Know your temperament and the other persons.

Read books to help you. There is no similar marriage, but there are similar problems.

Holla guys, does anyone knows, work or have a link to either Microsoft or Nokia in Nigeria or Finland? Please I dearly need the connection, it's urgent and crucial.
I can be contacted via +2347032238608
Thank you in advance and God bless your soul!

Tekevwe:
I got married to my husband a some months ago. Before we got married we dated for a while and my husband was the smiling type, though I noticed he bones a lot with his siblings.

Our courtship was great. He used to give me practically everything I wanted (affection and care) even before I asked. He showered me with so much love that I thought I was dreaming. I saw some other qualities in him and felt he would make a great husband.

The first week of our marriage, my husband changed, started boning round the house and withdrew into himself. His office rent was due that month so I felt that was cause and let him be. Several months down the line and things re d same or even worse. He gets home boning, eats and goes straight to bed. If I try gisting with him he answers in monosylables and you can see the disinterest on his face.

The only time he smiles at home is when he wants to be intimate. That's the only time he's soft with me now and the only time I feel connected to him. I asked him if I offended him in any way and he says no, that the pressure of providing for a new family is getting to him.

I didn't play hard to get cos I don't believe in such so I don't know why the change.

There are some other qualities I discovered in him that I never saw while we were dating. I jokingly told him he has changed and that day he smiled and said he had to give me all I wanted cos he didn't want to lose me since I'm a pretty girl. Now that we re married its like he can't be bothered with trying anymore.

Also deep down I don't tink he loves me and feel he just married me cos he isn't so young anymore (almost 40) and he's parents were mounting pressure on him. He's snappy with me now which never used to happen.

He also has a wall built around him that I can't seem to penetrate. I feel so depressed each time I'm home, being married to a man I feel no connection to.

I don't know if this is what marriage entails. If it is, then please, married folks should hint me so I can adjust my mindset to this new change.

Also, what can I do to break through and get through to him?

Sweetheart, if I may ask, how prepared were you before you married him? I mean, how much knowledge did you acquire about marriage before you said I do? Or you married him because he 'loved' you? or this money? Even Jesus recommends acquiring knowledge before and in marriage. The help you didn't ask for before marriage you now need it. Only God knows if you prayed before now, but now (if you haven't started) you must pray. God created singleness before marriage. if you enjoyed and appreciated your singleness you will understand you don't need anybody to make you complete.

Instead of playing the affection game (you either win or loss) like many has said, take this time to acquire knowledge on marriage (correct those mistakes).

And them feminist will start raising their ugly head now!!!! Arrrgggghhh!

Wow! Finally the year has few hours to complete it full cycle, making grand entry for next year(2016). This post has been long due before now, it's been heavy in my heart to share this and finally it is out. Not just out, but at the right time.

I have constantly and consciously lived my life with the mindset that I don't own anything I have, they are all given to me by grace. Therefore, to keep and have more, I engage in the misery of Praise and Thanksgiving.
"Let everything that has breath praise the LORD". (Psalms 150:6)

This simply means I don't need 2016 Range Over Sport before I can praise God, or own Banana Island to myself before I can give thanks to God.
"When the law of life is broken, we become victims of death" Bishop David Oyedepo

Psalms 150:6 is a command not an appeal. Many people are grounded because they take God for granted. These two words 'Thank You' is what qualifies you for the next act of favour in life. When you are addicted to giving God thanks, destiny opens to you on its own accord. The more grateful you are the more colorful your destiny becomes. One thing God can't give to himself is Thank You.

"No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks." - James Allen

There is nothing, absolutely nothing God is benefiting from you and me except our thanksgiving and praise. Hope you know, God doesn't need your money because He gave you. You can't give what you don't have. Thanksgiving Is A Debt We Owe That Must Be Paid. You could say what should I be thankful for? This year has been the worst year ever. My friend, if it is truely worst as you think, you wouldn't have been alive to say it is worst. Imagine if you are made to pay for each breath you breathe, do you think you can pay? It might has been rough but It is God who kept you strong. If God allowed the devil, your story could have been worst, not forgetting the mission of the devil is to kill, steal and destroy. So, you being alive today, if not for any other thing give God thanks, it is the same transportation system you travelled on that people died, the same food you ate that killed people, the same sleep you slept that so many slept and never woke up, the same interview/examination you wrote and passed. He deserves your praise/thanksgiving (In all things give thanks to God).

"Gratitude is what determines your ultimate altitude in Life" Bishop David Oyedepo

David is referred to as man after God's heart because he praised his way into God's heart. (Psalms 119:164)

Jesus our perfect example gave thanks to God and fed 5000 men (excluding women and children) with 5loaves of bread and 2fishes with 12baskets as left overs

In John 6:11, Jesus gave thanks and Lazarus that was dead for 4days jumped back to life.

Paul and Silas praised God and the prison doors opened on their own accord. (Acts 16:25)

Blessed be God you don't praise amiss. You can pray amiss but can't praise amiss. When you pray, God hears (if you pray correctly) but if you praise God, He comes down. An addicted thanksgivinger is a carrier of God's presence.

Friends, Your Tanks Can't Be Empty When You Are Full Of Thanks. Nothing goes down with a thanksgivinger. You might say this year didn't go down well, your complain or murmuring wouldn't change anything, but if you can wholeheartedly praise God today, you are preparing for 2016 that's from Glory To Glory.

"The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate." - Oprah Winfrey

All I Have To Say Is Thank You LORD.

Happy and Prosperous 2016 in advance.

I was less busy today, so I had time to reflect on my life, the year, my successes, my lessons and my achievements during the year.

Should Churches, Mosque & Religious Institution Pay Tax?
If yes, Why? and If no! Why?

Finally copped two albums of the year (2015), 25 and Purpose by Adele and Justin Bieber respectively. Does it mean before your album becomes platinum you must smash your heart against the rocks? (Adele, Sam Smith and Justin Bieber) Just before Adele's 25 album hit the stores, the pre-order was already reading in millions, even MTN asked me to pre-order. Shuuuu!

I didn't mention, Adele's Hello is the song with the highest covers ever (even the deaf can affirm that). Songs like Love In The Dark, When We Were Young, All I Ask and Million Years Ago can make sleep disown you for a week. You are right if you say 25 is flawless. Over 10, the album is 9.9. I think I know why Adele's boyfriend left her, she is too 'sell-fish' even with Love. She didn't feature anyone even though 70% of the songs were not written by her alone.
25 is yet to break records wait till the next grammy.

I have never been a Belieber until I heard Sorry and Where Are You Now. Justin is damn growing or wait, do heartbreaks make people wiser, matured or... (pls add something). If Purpose was solely (as it seem) inspired by Selena Gomez then that girl is a great inspiration (I recommend her for Terry G :-P ).

Mark My Words opened the album, an arrow directed to Gomez. Purpose, Life Is Worth Living, The Most and We Are (my favorite, played more 190 times in less than 24hrs) came out so perfect. On this project, Bieber accepted he's now 'matured', he's made mistakes and imperfect like everyone but he's "Sorry". I accept your apology 'son', so far I have good sounds to node my head to.

Gomez, it shouldn't just end at texting 'my boy', if after releasing 3 versions of one album just to say you are his "Purpose" and you are not doing anything to help a brother, I will send you to #Rosey to teach you some lessons.

In conclusion, heartbreaks is significantly and positively related to good songs/albums

I see something; NIGERIA IS A GREAT NATION!

UNITED WE STAND Divided we Fall!

As we celebrate our 55th Independence Anniversary today 1st October 2015, I say Happy 55th Independence Anniversary to MY NIGERIA with this poem.

MY NIGERIA

It's dawn of a new day
The sun smiles on our way
My Nigeria, virtuous and seated with pride
She's naturally pretty like a new bride

Indeed, she has come of age
Seen and appreciated in the international village
Taking her place amongst her equals
The Nigeria dream is green
Fresh, possible and evergreen

Let's live the Nigerian dream
O' Compatriots of great dream
Let's quit pondering on her problems
And focus on seeing her in higher realms

My Nigeria is great
She is ready to accelerate
She is a vital subject
Nigeria is our life project

Today is not our golden jubilee
But our hearts are painted in glee
My Nigeria is my hope of Glory
Join me in this great journey

milkymesh:
No satisfactory answer?? I believe in God and I am a Christian. However, for many months now I just sit in my house on Sunday and ponder over my more than three decades beleif. Have I been tricked all these while?. Every christian should ponder all the questions on the pix.
I am beginning to think religion is a tool used by a few to manipulate many to their advantage.
No religion is of God- weather Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism,Judaism, just mention it. I still searching for answers. Until then, I still beleive

In the end "the love of many shall wax cold" and "they shall drag many unto perdition"

TheSadist:
Always be yourself.
Don't pose what you aren't cause you want to please someone (especially a female).
And also don't allow yourself to be overwhelmed by low self-esteem. Be filled with healthy thoughts at all times. Be confident in all endeavours. It's how you regard and carry yourself that will determine the level of respect the general public is going to accord you.
In addition, It is only a fool that does thesame thing again and again yet expects different results. Learn from the mistakes of today and try not to repeat same next time.

Well said... just that I can't type your name because that's not what you are. With all these stuffs in you, you are better than that name.

Thank You.

"Believing in negative thoughts is the single greatest obstruction to success." --- Charles F. Glassman

Sometimes I make silly mistakes, or fall short of my own expectations, and instead of taking it as another learning opportunity, I beat myself up about it.

I’m sure you can relate. We’ve all been there. We all have bad days and moments of self-doubt. Sometimes the pressure coming from peers, family, work, and society in general is enough to make us feel completely broken inside. If we don’t have the “right” job, relationship, lifestyle, and so forth, by a certain age or timeframe, we assume we’re just “not good enough”. Before now, I had tunnel vision and expected life to come out in a certain way, but it didn't. Thus, the "not good enough" thought took the better side of me. I studied my failures until I lost sight of my successes. I surrendered my dreams to feel a sense of comfort. I held tight to my fears and shielded myself from love and happiness by refusing to put myself out there.

How did I handle it?

Whenever I catch myself in that box of 'not good enough', I immediately debunk those negative thoughts and start thinking of those milestones I've archived, while asking myself 'If you're not good enough how did you archive that?' also reminding myself of many great milestones to archive. I’ve been doing this for a while now and it’s made a tremendous difference in my life. I challenge you to do the same.

Whenever You Think You are not Good Enough, Remind Yourself the following:

NOBODY IS DOING BETTER THAN YOU-
Nobody is doing better than you because nobody can do better than you. YOU are walking your own path. Sometimes the reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes circumstances with everyone else’s public highlight reel. Forget what everyone else is doing and achieving. Lead your life like it's the last because no one can do better on your own path.

WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW IS A NECESSARY STEP-
Sometimes we avoid experiencing exactly where we are because we have developed a belief, based on our ideals, that it is not where we should be or want to be. But the truth is, where you are right now is exactly where you need to be to get to where you want to go tomorrow.

THIS PHASE WILL SURELY PASS-
When times are tough, remind yourself that no pain comes without a purpose. Move on from what hurt you, but never forget what it taught you. Pain is part of growing. Remember that there are two kinds of pain: pain that hurts and pain that changes you. When you roll with life, instead of resisting it, both kinds help you grow.

YOU ARE ALWAYS GOODENOUGH TO TRY-
In the end what’s important is that you tried. Everything you achieve comes from something you attempt. Make the attempt. Trust me, twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than the things you did do. Give yourself a chance.

FAILURES ARE REALLY JUST LESSONS THAT NEED TO BE LEARNED-
No day is ever wasted when you live it with purpose and presence. Value and enjoy the journey, even when there are detours along the way.

YOU DON’T NEED TO GET EVERYONE’S APPROVAL FIRST-
Stop listening to what the world says you should want. Start listening to who you are. Truth be told, there are only a few people in this world who will stay 100% true to you, and YOU should be one of them.

FOR EVERYTHING YOU’VE LOST, YOU’VE GAINED SOMRTHING ELSE-
Appreciate what you have today. Life does not have to be perfect to be wonderful. No regrets, just lessons. No worries, just acceptance. No expectations, just gratitude. Life is too short. The story of your life has many chapters. One bad chapter doesn’t mean it’s the end. So stop re-reading the bad one and turn the page.

YOUR SCARS ARE SYMBOLS OF YOUR STRENGHT-
Don’t ever be ashamed of the scars life has left you with. A scar means the hurt is over and the wound is closed. It means you conquered the pain, learned a lesson, grew stronger, and moved forward. A scar is the tattoo of a triumph. So don’t allow your scars to hold you hostage. Don’t allow them to make you live your life in fear. You can’t make the scars in your life disappear, but you can change the way you see them.

YOU ARE STILL HERE TRYING-
If you have no other testimony right now, you have this one: “I’m still here trying.” Be positive, patient and persistent. The more you feel like quitting, the more there is to be gained by continuing. The strongest people aren’t the people who always win, but the people who don’t give up when they lose.


The wisest, most loving, and well-rounded people you have ever met are likely those who have known misery, known defeat, known the heartbreak of losing something or someone they loved, and have found their way out of the depths of their own despair. These people have experienced many ups and downs, and have gained an appreciation, sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, understanding and a deep loving wisdom. People like this aren’t born; they develop slowly over the course of time.

Few months ago, I was reading a story about Marc when he was a freshman in high school and struggling to find his way, someone anonymously slipped a note into his locker one afternoon. It said, “Don’t let them get inside your head. You’re not boring, nerdy or weird. You’re complex, creative and far too intelligent for their small words. And for the record, you are also infinitely more attractive than you give yourself credit for.”

Marc said he never discovered who wrote that note, "... but whoever they are, they changed my life. From that day forward, I changed the way I talked to myself."

How do you talk to yourself? What do you say to yourself? "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" (Proverbs 18:20a)

“The first thing I do in the morning is brush my teeth and SHARPEN MY TONGUE.” -Dorothy Parker

The way you sharpen your tongue determines what comes out of your mouth about yourself and others. Remember, whatever you say is either confirm by GOD or the devil.

Specifically, these are some things you should never say to yourself:

1. “I’M NOT GOODENOUGH.”
You might think you’re not good enough, but you’ll surprise yourself if you keep trying. Your past does not determine who you are. What ultimately defines you is how well you rise after falling. Don’t ever be afraid to give yourself a chance to be everything you are capable of being. Never undervalue who you are and what you’re capable of. Excellence is the result of loving more than others think is necessary, dreaming more than others think is practical, risking more than others think is safe, and doing more than others think is possible.

2. “WHAT THEY THINK AND SAY ABOUT ME MATTERS.”
If you lead your life base on what they say and think about you, will never lead your own life. What would you do differently if you knew nobody would judge you? Don’t let others crush your dreams. Do just once what they say you can’t do, and you will never pay attention to their negativity again. Good things happen when you distance yourself from negativity and those who create it. Truth be told, no one has the right to judge you. People may have heard your stories, but they can’t feel what you are going through; they aren’t living YOUR life. So forget what they say about you. Focus on how you feel about yourself,
and do what you know in your heart is right.

3. “I NEED RECOGNITION FOR ALL MY ACTIONS TO BE WORTHWHILE.”
Do what you know is right. Integrity is doing the right thing, no matter what, even when nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not. Life always finds its balance. Don’t expect to get back everything you give. Don’t expect recognition for every effort you make. And don’t expect your kindness to be instantly recognized or your love to be understood by everyone you encounter. What seems like the right thing to do could also be the hardest thing you have ever done. Do it anyway. There is no greatness or peace of mind where there is betrayal of your own goodwill. Always aim at complete sincerity of your thoughts, words and deeds.
If it is wrong, don’t do it. If it is untrue, don’t repeat it. Do what you do because you believe it’s the right thing to do. Do the right thing even when nobody is looking. Be one of the people who make a true difference in the world by leaving it a little better and more wholesome than you found it.

4. “I AM ALONE.”
You can’t make it through on your own. None of us has. That’s why, thank goodness, you are never as alone as you sometimes feel. So many of us are fighting the same battle alongside you. You may feel alone sometimes, but you are not alone in being alone. To lose sleep worrying about a loved one. To have trouble picking yourself up after someone lets you down. To feel rejected because someone didn’t care about you enough to stay. To be afraid to try something new for fear you may fail. None of this means you’re weird or dysfunctional. It just means you’re human, and that you need a little time to regroup and recalibrate yourself. No matter how embarrassed or pathetic you feel about your own situation, there are others out there experiencing the same emotions. When you hear yourself say, “I am all alone,” it’s just your mind trying to sell you a lie. There’s always someone who can relate to you. Perhaps you can’t immediately talk to them, but they are out there, and the situation wouldn't last more than it should, just keep seeing the better side of life.

5. “I CAN'T FORGIVE THEM.”
Forgiveness is a promise.When you forgive someone you are making a promise not to hold the unchangeable past against your present self. Forgiveness doesn’t mean what happened was completely excusable, and it doesn’t necessarily mean that person should still be welcome in your life. It simply means you have made peace with the pain, and are ready to let it go and move on with your life. Forgiveness has nothing to do with freeing a criminal of his or her crime. It has everything to do with freeing yourself of the burden of being a victim – letting go of the pain and transforming yourself from victim to victor.

If you feel guilt of any of these points, know you are not alone. Many of us are right there with you (we self we be human being o), working hard to feel better, think more clearly, and live a life free of headaches
and heartache.

I'm praying for you and wishing you well as you say good things about yourself.

Now that you have told us what we shouldn't say about ourselves, you need to tell us what we should be saying about ourselves.

From the above you should know what to say na! LOL. Well, if you want more explanation I could put pen on paper just for you in other to let you know what to say to yourself.

My G, you funny sha!

Hi Pukka36

"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." –Mark Twain

Most people lead long lives and are forgotten, while very few lead upto 40years but are remembered for life.
"A man's success is not determine by this wealth and riches but the number of lives he impacted positively to." -Innocent Igwe
The year is about to end again and time can't wait or go anti-clockwise. How many persons can say thank God for your life, how many persons are praying for long life for you just because you made them smile in one way or the other. We all need one thing or the other but we are not ready to give out that same thing.
"Life isn’t about getting and having, it’s about giving and being." –Kevin Kruse
..."it is more blessed to give than to receive" Mosttimes a small act of kindness can go a long way of not just making the next person happy but also make you happier.
"It takes a stretch arm that gives to receive."-Innocent Igwe
Life is govern by natural laws that's why you sow (Christian, Muslim, Atheist) and you reap (seed time and harvest time will not seize), but you sow very little and reap much (a seed of corn). The same way an act of kindness grows into a big tree of Kindness. Few months to the end of the year, how many people have you made happy? How many people can smile because of you? How many lives have you touched? If you wait to be rich before you help someone, you may never be rich enough. You don't necessary need money to show an act of kindness. all you need is kindness" ...God sees every act of kindness. Nothing goes unnoticed." - Joel Osteen
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." -Aesop
You reap what you sow, so sow wisely.Kindness is contagious and infectious, keep touching lives and lead a better life. The solution to all your problem is just one act of kindness. One man can change the world and that man is YOU!
"How do we change the world? One act of random kindness at a time". -Steve Oedekerk

Guffaw!!!!!!!

Can't help it... Hahahahaha

It reminds me of Nature Corner back in primary school

...

The cardinal rule of a friends with benefit relationship is not to let emotions get in the way. But what looks easy on paper is often much more difficult to follow in real life. So if you begin to suspect that your friends with benefit relationship is turning into something deeper, here are a ten signs to watch out for.

* You Call Each Other More Often

Regular communication is one of the hallmarks of a satisfying relationship. When two people are in love, they wish to keep in touch the whole day – through phone calls or text messages - even though they may be living under the same roof. Thus if you find that you and your friend are regularly exchanging emails, phone calls and text messages and especially about things not directly related to sex, like asking how your presentation/test/interview/trial went or whether you have finally got your car fixed - chances are you are exploring the space outside a strictly friends with benefits relationship.

* You Expect More

Even more significant than your frequent
communication is the fact that now you care
whether or not your friend replies to your
texts or emails right away. You check about a
billion times, refreshing the page over and
over. Likewise if you receive something from
your ‘friend’, you feel like replying
immediately and in case you don’t, he/she
usually asks about your tardiness the next time
you meet. Other signs of greater expectation
are when you seek their approval about a
new haircut or outfit and upset if they don’t
notice.

* You Are In Each Other’s Thoughts

A veritable sign of a budding relationship is
two people thinking about each other more
often than before – even when they are doing
things not directly related to a partner. For
instance you may be browsing through a
shopping mall and you pick up something your
‘friend’ had mentioned they needed. You think
you do this because you were out and it’s no
big deal but it is a distinct sign that he/she is in
your thoughts. Again your ‘friend’ texts you
funny things when out with his/her gang, just
because he/she is thinking of you.

* You Want To Hang Out

And not only in places where you can make
out. Instead you find that you like doing other
things with your ‘friend’; for instance you both
like jiving in a karaoke club or biking for long
distances. You meet in an art gallery and spend
an enjoyable afternoon browsing through
paintings or take part in a cooking class and
have fun trying out recipes. Sharing mutual
interests is one of strongest bonding factors in
real couples and if you are doing the same
with your ‘friend’, it is likely you are
discovering the pleasures of a real
relationship.

*You Find Other People Unsuitable

Yet another sure-shot sign of a growing relationship is when you begin to lose interest in other potential partners. For instance after you have been on a date, you can’t wait to see your ‘friend’ to tell them about how dumb the guy was or how the girl ate pizza with a fork. Likewise when your sex buddy has an actual date or ask you for dating advice, you always find flaws with the new people or tell them they can do better.

* You Are In No Hurry

The nature of your sexual relationship is sure
to hold a few pointers if you have been
moving from a strictly friends with benefits to
more emotional involvement. For instance
when you start kissing, you enjoy it for a long
while and are in no hurry to get to the final
base. In fact you may even be kissing more
often as a greeting and not just as a pathway
to sex or out of obligation in the morning.
Similarly after a hook up you are in no mood
to part ways quickly; so after you spend the
night together, you probably sleep in and get
brunch the next day.

* You Cuddle Up

After you hook up, you stay in each other’s
arms and nuzzle each other’s necks and talk
sweet nothings. You cuddle or put yourselves
in a spooning position. All these are behaviors
are ways of reinforcing emotional attachment
through physical gestures and could signal red
flags in your friends with benefits relationship.

*Sex Is No Longer The Most Important Thing

You go over to hook up with your ‘friend’ but
end up watching TV and eating pizza
together. Or perhaps he/she massages your
back for you when you go over after a
stressful day at work. At times like these you
don’t even need sex and happily fall asleep
leaning on each other on the couch. When sex
is no longer the primary focus in your
relationship, it is evident that you are getting
closer to each other in an emotional or even
romantic way.

*You Do Things For Each Other

A surefire sign of a friends with benefit
relationship turning into something more is
when you both like to do things for each other
that are not remotely connected to sex.
Perhaps one of you has cooked for the other
one or one of you has made the other a mix
CD. Again you may have gone out of your
way to collect your friend’s favorite dessert
for a night he/she is coming over or perhaps
he/she has surprised you with a gift of your
favorite book or painting. Indulging each
other with things and gestures not connected
primarily to sex are one of the common traits
of a deepening emotional attachment.

*You Are Less Secretive

While society has become more accepting of
different kinds of relationships, a sex buddy is
still someone that you would not like to
advertise in your daily life. Thus if you find
yourself becoming less secretive about your
relationship with this ‘friend’, chances are you
are looking for a relationship based on trust
and honesty instead of something furtive. Thus
now when your ‘friend’ posts something to
your facebook wall, you probably don’t fly
into a panic and delete it immediately before
anyone sees. Also you don’t mind being clicked
with your ‘friend’ and it being available for the
whole world to view – indeed you may even
feel a certain pride that your relationship is
now out in the open and does not exist solely
behind closed bedroom doors.

After all these things, do The Needful when necessary
