3. perfect stranger.
L♥√e

I just watched a movie titled Time Changer and I was awe-struck! it is a beautiful, down to earth, clear-messaged, reviving movie. How I wish more people watch movies that inspire, motivate and encourage. A movie like this reminds me of others of its kind
1. Fireproof
2. Courageous
3. Unconditional
4. Pilgrim's Progress
5. The Vow
and the Love series- love finds a home, love takes wings, love comes softly, etc.
I wish some of these movies in fact all of these movies become 'viral' I mean circulate more widely- download, shown on big screens, cinemas, street shows, given as gifts or bought. however how they can be got out. I am so happy I have such movies to use in the film shows we organize from time to time and place to place.
My fellow NL kindly post more great titles of those movies that have left permanent impacts in your heart and life.

@cyberuzo
I agree that those who have lost it (not rape or other involuntary means) outside marriage should move on, don't sorrow, despair it self is a sin, ask God for mercy and pardon, go and sin no more
for those who have not lost it they should be encouraged to keep themselves (male and female) until they are married- it encourages discipline, fidelity, purity (the pure in heart shall see God), confidence, fear of God, obedience to God's commands (keep ur bed undefiled) etc
for those who don't send virginity issue cos in their opinion its overrated and sabotaged by those who have lost it outside of s.ex.ual inter.course, they should knw that God looks at the heart\intention not the deed.
if u offer to God a sacrifice that is nt frm ur heart, it is a waste of time and effort.
to those of u na wey stil b virgins common keep it up til u are married there are many who wished they were like u, don't b deceived, u'r keepin ya self unto God nt man (or woman) virginity no b crime, no b shame.

na wa, we leave topic come dey analyze whether picture na true or painting or coloured?!
for me the bottom line is that there was a country
there a Niger-Delta that had Hawaii-like or Caribbean-like water front and environment before oil pollution spoilt it.
the people living around the Niger Delta then had 'coloured' eyes i mean eyes which could identify 'colour' so?
if it was drawn it was done from what someone saw real life.
or
if it was taken with a camera- fuji, kodak, canon whatever, it showed that Niger Delta looked clean, healthy and serene before oil exploration started which has caused water, land and air pollution in the whole region.
sad, i smh for all who caused this to happen. i pray to God to restore balance and grant development to this region, whether the government or leaders do it or not, like it or not, in Jesus name amen.

this person no wear clothe oh, this no be clothe now

I think it is a good thing to do for humanity.
i have received and i have donated to the glory of God

DID YOU KNOw?
There is the National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) and it is located in all zonal regions in Nigeria and some states.
Giving blood that does no harm to the recipient is a noble thing to do.

Those who need blood include: Accident victims, Women at child delivery (stand by in cases of complications), Anaemic, Cancer, Surgery, Sickle cell, and others. These people need you and me.

Although not everyone can donate blood, most people can. Those who can donate include: Those Aged 18 years – 65 years, if you weigh above 50kg and your Haemoglobin level is of at least 12g/dl.

Do not worry about all these technicalities, when you get to the place where you can donate, they would brief you. But this is how it is done: a Medical check is done, then your Blood is collected and finally you are refreshed.

When you are through giving your blood, take plenty water for 12 hours, you must avoid climbing high buildings, avoid strenuous activity for 6 hours, and others.

Are you still not interested? Let us tell you why you should do it: you will be responsible for saving a life and it helps you- yes you reduce the workload on your heart, kidney and liver!

You are encouraged to visit any of the following centers and donate blood for free, because you or your loved ones may need it urgently one day!

this is a very inappropriate thing to say that Edo State is full of wickedness and diabolism? i wont waste time saying more just take back what you commented and apologize to indigenes of the entire Edo State. do u think Oredo is the only LGA there? what general and ... infact wrong statement to make.

my condolence to the family of the deceased.

Decryptor: This Edo state is full of wickedness and. Diabolism! How can one explain a situation where a vehicle just loses control like that and the target was no other person than the groom's father? Was the driver still learning??

price for what?

godfreykingsley: That was a price that had to be paid. May God have mercy on d soul.

andyanders: I feel for your ignorance for making such a statement. He delivers people and give out gifts and you pity the people that receives his gifts? Pity yourself for your ignorance and not the people. Because you are spiritually blind, hence your statement.

I pray God to open your spirit mind in order for you to be able to know who this great man is.

i pray for the day that we start 'fighting' or speaking for the truth and NOT fighting for our religious leaders. Jesus told Pater to sheath his sword. so what kind of message would you be passing on when 2 supposed Christians are fighting over their respective religious leaders as against fighting their common enemy- the devil. a divided faith house cannot stand. but since Christ is one, His church stands.
PS: these religious leaders are also on their race of life, if like be fighting for them instead of focusing on your own salvation.

Blov: speak evil of no man, so He said!!

there is a difference between what u think is evil about what people say and what is truth or fact or hearsay

pls if this should be quoted generally, no one would or should speak evil of Charly boy, Jonathan, his wife, Nigerian artistes who didnt donate to OJB, Tonto Dikeh etc.
but if this phrase is solely against speaking 'evil' against 'religious' personalities then 'He' would not have called them, 'brooding vipers' Amos would not have spoken to the prophets in his time (read the book of Amos), Paul would not have talked about ... everyone he talked about, G. Craig Lewis would not have talked about the truth of hip hop...
and the nairaland post about 'what u comment on the internet can land u in jail' would not have been challenged by some commentators of that thread that said, 'those it mean there is no freedom of speech; where is the democracy...' etc.
NB:
this comment of mine is focused on the quoted phrase not on the Person featured on this thread. thank you.

ogb5: Remember long ago when I was driving though Uwasota junction. It started raining and there was hold up. Before my very eyes the whole place turned into a river

Water entered the car up to the seat, I had no option than to sit like an executive on the flooded seat
Thank God it was a German machine, was able to wade through the water without any damage to the car.

bros u lucky, na so those days volks wagon beetle and golf dey drive pass many pretty cars wey tomline dey sink.

pls oh Uwasota road is a federal road oh. I think d drainage problem don over d state government.

I can't defend Oshiomole, but yes I whole heartedly agree that he has done good stuffs in Benin. want to believe that if he had more funds he would do more. nt necessarily bleedin pple and companies in the name of tax or revenue sha. maybe fed govt allocation is nt enuf. when wld Nigerians who have mega cash (especially cash to spare and nt use in buying N15m cars or owanbe) start to help do roads like Ojemai did in Ekenhuan area or Deustman (don't tink I got dis spellin rite) did in 19th st some time ago (even putting street lite!!!) people I mean indivuals get money for this Nigeria even Benin gongon ni

the chairmen of the LGA can help repair the link roads to this Benin-Lagos road, that is Mela, Uwagboe, Edaiken, Technical, Federal Girls, Uwasota, etc I think clearin of drainages on these roads and some other roads are also LGA responsibilities and I dare say the responsibility of residents and landlord or Edionwares of those areas. really this is nt a 1 man's job.
all d governor wld suffer is ridicule and low ratings bt @ d end it is those living there or passing tru there that would suffer it. so who helps who.
Lord help me nt 2 wait for someone to help me if and when I can help myself, amen.

@yinkaoke
I thank God for all you testify. I am one who has grown and has been strengthened by testimonies. thank u sir.
Now I pray, I join you in praying about your family. I pray to God Almighty that that union He Himself has ordained that He would sustain and uphold. that whatever seed of discord that has been planted to break the marriage would be uprooted and removed and made void in Jesus name. That all things would work together for your good and the good of everyone who loves the Lord. in Jesus name. I thank u Lord God for answered prayers, amen.

Abu Mikey: Come Ekpoma.make you see wonders of Erosion!!

4 real?

let me share this very copyright protected part of a song I wrote about NYSC:

Service and humility,
where there’s no security,
treat us with levity,
disgracing humanity.
Many want it scrapped,
but lets not over react,
when they passed the Act,
it wasn’t meant to be like that.
The intendments have gone wrong,
the motives no longer strong,
we’ve taken it for too long,
let us sing a new song.

and on and on

Uhuns what are you talking about? that the crowned Prince sees his father the Oba abi na wetin u dey argue? take a position my friend, park well. who tell u say NL get un trained mind? don't insult any1 here oh! warn urself. who be the media wey dey hype anytin? u knw hw long Benin Kingdom don dey? I don read authentic Benin history oh! no try me

uhuns: that's not correct at all.
that a media hype. but its correct in its own rights, it may not be so easy to explain to an un trained mind.

Oshiomole said during his wife's burial (God rest her soul) that he rode a bike from his village with her on it to her village to meet with her people. imagine if bikes were not permitted.
excuse me but most kidnap cases were done with flashy 'cars' not bikes.
Banning private bikes whether we like it or not would not include power bike owners who belong to the elite.
also people like Esama that move with escort bikes would or may not be stopped.
courier companies like UPS would not be stopped.
private bike riders like some security men and messengers in Uniben, State Secretariat and Central Hospital must now look for funds to buy cars.
even in developed countries private people are allowed to use bikes.
physically challenged people now must take drop whether they can afford it or not because if they take bus, they would be dropped at their street junctions and made to walk home.
Ekiti, Ogun and other ACN first term governors would also be nursing the plan to ban bikes after their re-elections.
some people say these riders should move on, step up, learn trade, I mean excuse you some of these bike riders are educated, they started the job cos of no viable alternatives, some are very professional and disciplined (helmet, papers, license and all). what trade? learn how to carry sewing machine, become brick layers, work in some greedy private schools and earn peanuts? I tell you danfo driver, BRT drivers, Dangote truck drivers, etc did not learn any trade to be drivers, so why can't bike riders be so regarded like these drivers?
finally, for now anywayz, you may think fighting government is a lost battle, but you would be shocked that thses people will win this case. I wish them well.

grandstar: Is it true that the crown prince must never meet his father until death? Pls confirm or clarify

Yeah gal that is what history says I sincerely don't know if the tradition is still on cos many things have stopped or been modified. also they do not stay in the same place as some people ask?

blink182: Before his birthday this year, there was a strict warning from the palace not to mention his age in any publication or congratulatory message.

Please correct this gaffe here.

My brother I think say na only me hear am oh?!
the thing is that the announcement was made only on Edo electronic media, so many 'well' wishers did not know of the strict warning. however, we forgive them. but really if it's still possible yeah they should correct the 'gaffe'

I am so glad this thread came up. op took it out of my intentions!!!
#1 God saved me from a bus accident on my way to Akure for a wedding. Although my chin was stitched, I am alive and well today.
#2 God saved me from a BRT accident last December. The BRT bus pressed me on the railings of the BRT busstop while I was trying to climb the curb to join the queue. My hands and thigh were bruised and my hand muscles were greatly affected but God healed me totally. God is Jehovah raphe.
#3 God saved me from a bike accident in Ibadan. a fully loaded wheel-barrow hit us from the side and we went tumbling down. My newly purchased picture frame for my mum was broken and I had slight bruises. God saved me. it may seem funny but it was real danger. the same incident happened to me in Sokoto, then my knee was severely bruised. God saved me again and again.
#4 God blessed me with the Utility vehicle I'd so desired for years and years now. God used a very special person in my life to buy the vehicle in my name with everything needed.
#5 God blessed me with a wonderful job that pays very well. This God added to my other endeavors and investments.
#6 God kept me from despair, vengeance and bitterness after my sister was shot dead by unknown men in Onitsha. God told me that, 'Vengeance is mine, I will recompense to every man according to his deed.' I leave everything to God.
#7 God blessed me by giving me a baby nephew after loosing my 2 little nieces within 2 years. God is the God of comfort and consolation.
#8 God blessed me with a new sister-in-law after the wonderful and successful marriage of my dear brother.
#9 God blessed me with health, wealth, peace and a sense of direction, even when I thought the world was moving on without me. God gave me a word, 'Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, lean not on your own understanding...'
#10 God is working in my family, friends and associates in bringing His salvation, peace and reconciliation to us all. after facing all sorts of evil challenges and 'dysfunctionality' among loved ones, God helps me even second of every day and I know He is working for my good, for He told me, 'I have a plan for your future, to give you an expected end.'
thank God
thank you Jesus
thank you Holy Spirit
thank thank thank you... I could go on and on. that I can sleep on the floor into July and wake up happy! that I can go to work with a hunger and still work. that ... infact God dey!

this is to wish us a very happy new month of July. the 7th month, the number of perfection. the beginning of the 2nd half of the year. the second half were records can be upturned for our good. where final decisions are made. the future is bright for us no matter what, do not look at the temporary set-backs, enjoy the bigger picture. may we God see us through the rest of the year in Jesus name, amen.

Happy Father's Day Papa 'Me'
You have and will always be a great father
you always try to show strength even in your humanity
you always try to show weakness even in your possibility
the way I remember you and celebrate you is personal to me
no matter what others say otherwise
I see you through my own eyes not others
I love you in my own way not like the general public
you have been my friend since I can remember my beginning
we have had our very bad times and very very good times
we have shared laughs and tears
we have gladly taken pictures and we had pictures
we disagree on many things but we like many things
we understand each other when we speak and there is a listening ear
I sincerely wish I could do something great for you
but you remind me that I am great for you already
what I am today is all with your help
no other person has been there the way you have, no not one
I cannot end this without thanking my mother
for a wise man once sang that 'it was his mother that showed him his father'
so mummy without you agreeing to him, marrying him, giving birth to me and
showing me my father, I would not be here eulogizing hm.
thank you mum and dad, God bless you both together forever
Happy Father's day Daddy 'Me'

L♥√ع

okay, I love my father greatly. he is a great father. I thank God, my Heavenly Father, for giving me my earthly father. it is a privilege. he is very responsible, caring, funny, intelligent, protective, and many other great things. He took me to school on my first day! I remember that! I pray God grants him long life and good health and better days ahead. I pray God will still use him for His glory and make his remaining years happy, peaceful, successful, healthy and strong. I pray to God above any other desire, wish or want for his salvation and eternal life with God, when God calls him. I pray all who are reading this and are on this site and thread to join me to pray that God in His infinite mercy would grant my heart's desire and soul's cry.
God bless you daddy, you are the best, you are great, you are loved...
Happy Father's Day from me and us all L♥√ع

vislabraye: The ban on Okada in PHs has lots of benefits. I don't know about Benin.
In Ph, my inlaw was attacked by some assassins while he was driving. They shot at him from dia car, but he narrowly escaped.
Had it been it was Okada, they would not miss him. Banning of Okada would reduce crime to a large extent, but there are other aspects to it.

unfortunately I share in a similar experience but it sadly ended in death. however the bike used was not a commercial type it was like those wanna be power bikes, those used by private bike owners. bikes ve both advantages and disadvantages. I tilt to the advanatages. kidnappin in south south is usaually done wt d aid of vehicles- luxury vehicles for that matter. the ones that help avoid suspicion and disturbance by security agents.

i am so happy about this concept. I wish more cities and places would also carry out this 'sensitization and encouraging' rallies and marches. it is lovely.
the issue of virginity is not just about not having se.x until marriage but is about discipline and self control. a guy or gal that can wait for marriage before inter.course can wait for many other things of value and life changing things. check it out, if u can wait for at least 3 to 4 years to get a degree from the university, then u must wait until marriage to 'know' ya spouse. also if u can wait for your labour and hardwork to pay off, then u can avoid get-rich-scams and criminal vices, by engaging in legitimate work. patience teaches you discipline which helps curb many other vices other than forni.cation or promiscuity like scam, kidnapping, or other FAR'gate scandals or pension or pen scandals.
so u see its not just about inter.course, but about waiting for what is valuable, long lasting and a test of true love and long term commitment.
like if u consider yourself what the wait and you consider your sweetheart what the wait!

Although I am not a fan of achaba or okada or bikes, but my peeps representing interiors, where taxis, keke\tricycle, buses and legs cannot traverse, how do people reach those places? Uwasota, Isiohor, Water Resources, Urora, Technical, Lawani, Oliha, 3rd, Ekosodin, Upper... I beg leg no fit waka does places na. abi na only for major roads him b ban bike? I beg oh make the bikes still dey enter street like some parts of Warri and Lag. bikes are not the safest but there's no means of transportation that is accident free. 'there's no where in d world bike is used for transport' I don't know, but I know that there are places where humans use push carts to carry people from place to place, doesn't mean it is ideal or everywhere1! safer measures like helmet and jackets to know the real commercial guys are better ways to curb the menace of bikes than totally banning 'em in the ancient city. Na trekking things na, Benin no dey relax like P\H and they no dey adjust like Ekoo ni baje people. they know their rights oh! right to move- swiftly, speedily and stresslessly not slabbing, carrying shoes in bags or leaving home earlier!

Dis Guy: there should be an age limit for cutting cake jare!!

i mean like when you're 12 going on to 13- that shyte should stop!

all these agbaya- imagine senior man Edwin clark cutting cake in front of a camera eww

look be careful with your comments, are u saying when couples are marrying, when some are doing anniversaries, when men and women are celebratin milestone ages like 30, 40, 50, 60... they should not use cake? what's the biggi? I sure say you still dey chop cake, abi u neva too old to dey chop cake? wetin concern elderstatesman with D'banj matter? don't derail the thread jo!

God bless. thanks man i'd try these suggestions. when I use some other computer systems other than mine, I see the difference in speed, then I know that I have to do something about mine. Nice write up.

To all and especially passing out corps members, "Trust in the Lord God with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all of yours ways acknowledge God, and He will make your path straight, do not worry about tomorrow, God's got it under control, so I say, Trust in the Lord God with all of your heart and He will see you through."
It is well, congratulations, from copper to gold, after going through the fire!
