It may be mere shoes
But buying or desiring one pair is you contributing to the finance and advancement of the kingdom of darkness.
The devil has a united kingdom of evil people and demons, fallen angels.
Our Lord Jesus, whose dying for our sins to destroy the works of Satan we celebrate today warned us.
He said he who has ears let him hear.
How can beelzebug be divided against itself?
The kingdom of Satan requires manpower and finances and dedication like every other organisation or organised crimes.
When we play their songs,
love their actors,
relish their quotes,
excuse their marketing strategies,
trend their stories
elongate their threads,
talk about them,
keep up with them,
follow them as fans,
desire to belong to them,
read their books and materials,
hinge your life on their devices,
hate others because of them,
ridicule the Holy Bible to please them,
blaspheme the Holy name of God to feel among,
treat with levity God's instructions to look woke,
wear their designs,
market their products and
tolerate their nuances
we SUBTLY and INDIRECTLY support their kingdom

Watch And Pray

Not just for eternal life but for your everyday living.

My dear brethren watch and pray please I beg you.
Do not in any way gum body to the things of Satan oh.
There is no middle ground, you are either marked with the seal of God unto salvation and eternal life
Or
Marked with the sign of the beast, the devil.

No middle oh.

It's today oh, take the decision this minute oh I beg. Accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and renounce Satan

I've a thought
The People from the north are travelling all over Nigeria and are likely to register to vote in Ebonyi, Ondo, Taraba, Edo, Ogun and all around the country.
The president to be needs 2/3 majority vote from around the country.
If the north decides to unanimously vote for their brother, they can win due to their number, underage voting, fictitious number and herd mentality or bandwagon approach to things that fulfil their prophecy of born to rule.
But the constitution says 2/3 so they are going to fix that by being in the southern parts so they can register and vote here to get their 2/3.
Just a thought.
One thing every other Nigerian can learn from and about the north is their sagacity, political alertness, chess mentality and transistor radio listening. They know politics, forget. Kudos to them. Bad as e be they are good at that.

I pray Nigerians be at peace with each other and/or embrace reality

9jaRealist:
Nobody needs to do anything, but....

Some of them need NT appearances to qualify for work permit abroad...
It also helps to market oneself if one can add “full international” to one’s CV...
And of course if they make it to the WC, that’s the biggest SHOP WINDOW there is!

Overall, it’s generally a win-win-win for everyone involved!
>

I agree with you, but...

Many people are still leaving Nigeria PERMANENTLY in droves

Professionals, artisans, talents, technocrats, sports people, entertainers and students

My dear friend is going at the end of this month

I need help in understanding something about Ministries...
I beg is Amaechi not TRANSPORTATION minister
Why focus only on railways since 2015 to 2023

I can't understand

Besides aviation which has its own minister

What are Amaechi and Saraki doing about waterways, roadways, kekeways, okadaways and other modes of transportation?

Whereas road transport system is in 100% of Nigeria and policies can affect the entire country,
Railway system affects and benefits only a small part of the entire country.

So at the end of his tenure Rotimi and Gbemi would have affected the lives of very few Nigerians

Meanwhile
Join me to pray against the third next level column, it is serious. Many things are already checked on that list. For instance bread in N500 and cement is over 4k

Thank God

Meanwhile let's pray against this next level column

There's no country that can take us all, not even Canada oh

Nigeria is what we have got

Let's save it I beg

May the super eagles win

See how patriotic they are

They didn't have to come play for Nigeria, they are rich, popular and engaged in clubs, but they came back

houseontherock:
The Northern oligarchs will do anything to ensure the South doesn't grow healthy food in fertile farmlands that need little or no fertilizer boost, they prefer to feed the healthy crops to their cows while the rest of the country (including them) eat their chemical-laden, 'non-export quality' crops

But this is terrible now
We have .... SON, ministry of agric and others who are to check quality of what we consume now

My goodness see the fine looking mango I ate yesterday the taste was not like what I grew up eating. I don't know what is happening but we are not eating too quality foodstuffs oh not to mention processed food like spaghetti, indomie, minerals, sardine and all

May God help us

With all those chemicals and fertilisers
May God save us and bless us with fresh foods and fruits and water
Cause honestly what we are eating and drinking eh

thank God for the gift of today and the safety through the night.

I heartily congratulate and celebrate with one of our own Wally Adeyemo on his new appointment.
May he represent himself, his immediate family, his new country and his fatherland well in Jesus name, amen.

This is fantastic news

and Nigerian workers are getting only Friday and Monday.
They can't travel
If they do they'll have to travel Friday and start returning Sunday or Monday so what's the use

moneyissweet:
Yes, we have two in Nigeria.

One is at sambisa Forest and the other new one our darling daddy recently commissioned is Bornu state.

I'd have said stale, dry or some other thing you intended in your post, but hey I can't be like you...
Positive energy, joy and peace is what I'm about and what I wish everyone

I look forward to a time Sambisa and Borno will get back their glories, peace and safety and guess what? I'll visit them by God's grace. Question is, would you be bold enough to accompany me

Freemasonry:
The only place I know you can race in Nigeria is on your PlayStation, or in your mind

So which one is it going to be?

Funny thing is that for game I no dey try but for real life, my dear I dey try, in fact I dey do well, ocean, all.
Tactical driving and manoeuvring is one thing Papa God bless me with

As for my mind, i no fit drive for mind oh, no think I dey think with am

Good morning neighbours

Congrats Ugo

I'm very interested in formula 1 oh

Does anyone know any place racing is done in Nigeria... and of cause whether I fit race?

It's a dangerous sport but exhilarating

I hardly hear of mass shootings in other countries
America should check their gun use and mental health of their citizens

It's not a bad day for the killer
But a bad day for the victims and their families

Deplorable
Incest
Sin

Never heard of FUNAM

I pray Ortom is not killed or anyone who speaks against evil from any tribe whatsoever

Know that anyone who speaks your mind and you don't support, and gets harmed for that, is like you're wishing harm to self.

For instance if our voices can't be heard and we also stand against banditry and herdsmen attack which Ortom stands against and he is hushed, it's like we too will be hushed if our voices ever get heard. So also with physical harm.

Pray for Ortom, pray for Nigeria, pray for our leaders, pray for our individual safety please

I expected as much

Do you know Elon Musk built a school just for his children, so they can learn what he wants them to learn? Not home schooling oh, but his own school for them?!

So many of these rich people have islands just for the same reason, to have their own land with their own laws!

I'm never a fan of Jack or Donald, but the end of this issue will tell between them, who's got crowd and clout

Emmbanny:
God will surly bless you. In Jesus name

Amen and you too, amen!

@adanny01
@Businext

Exactly, all jobs are important. I once greeted a man 'good morning sir' then his driver passed behind him I said again 'good morning sir' the oga looked at me and was like how can you greet me and my driver the same way. But I said ah sir, your driver is not my mate nor my driver, I've to greet him with sir too. The man realised that that man who he demeans as a driver is someone's uncle, father, even boss kpakpa... he may have a shop where he has an attendant he pays or even his personal car he gives another person to drive for him. So he too na boss So please let's not look down on any job, salary amount or location of work. People have to work in Dutse as they do in Ikoyi, they have to work in Ughelli as they do in Abakaliki so op pray let God direct you please.
Meanwhile any one you reject, help link a NLder here to take it up as they are some who'd be glad to accept the job offer you're rejecting please. Thanks in advance

I deliberately did not read anyone's comment so I can make a clear opinion.
There is so much hate.
No wonder you hear how a passenger will fight with a conductor over N20, the same N20 he can dash a beggar on the street.
The same way a woman can kill another woman just because her man flirts with her.
The same way a cult boy can kill his blood brother who belongs to another cult.
The same way an entire building can be razed down because the owner is of another faith! Building oh! Paint, roof, fittings, labour, cement, all, gone down!

Love is not a bad thing oh, let's live and let love.

I went to public schools right from creche to the apex of education in different parts of Nigeria, my beloved country. I've had the privilege to teach and I've taught Muslims who wore hijack and it didn't bother me, I didn't even take note cause I see people not what they wear or who they are, be Buhari's child, I'll treat you like I'll treat a civil servant's child. Be you my tribesman or church member, you would be treated the same.
All my years in public school I never had my Muslim classmates and schoolmates wear hijab. They wore headgears at best. Even at a time they were Lebanese in my school, they were not allowed either. Also the female Indians were also not allowed to leave their hair long, they cut them like the Nigerian females in my school. The sky didn't fall. It is a school. After school anyone could do whatever, wear mufti if you like. Uniform was so strict. Please we all know the issue is not hijab, it's just an entrance to ferment more trouble.
Please someone should tell me how the hijab issue was resolved in ISIbadan and ISLagos? These are public schools. Mind you in my time in the Polytechnic, Sokoto state, (not as their student though) I noticed the non-Muslim females also covered their hairs. I've seen Muslim students in Anambra, Delta, Ondo and Ekiti cover their hairs. That means that wherever they are they are not "forced" to be like their hosts. But Christians are sometimes forced to dress like their hosts.
This shade of Islam is not what we grew up with.
Many agitating for these extremism in Islam don't even follow the 5 pillars of Islam or read or know the tenets of Islam. They just listen to anyone who calls himself sheikh or imam and get wrongly indoctrinated.
This also happens in Christianity where people who have not opened their Bibles begin to shout and talk falsehoods anyhow that 'my pastor said! my pastor said!'

I tire.

Ilorin my place, please don't let me run away from you

when I watched the debate I felt sad for Abaribe. The way the 2 chambers work is that lobbying, party interest, tribal and religious interests hold sway.
Now Abaribe may have a very good motion or bill, but where he doesn't have any of the above mentioned, he would have no support and the erstwhile bill or motion will die.
(Sadly his eastern people have no bloc, unity or ideology to pursue or preserve.
Abaribe usually stands alone.
Without recourse to his personal past or tribe, try listening to some of his motions and bills and you'd see that he makes a whole lot of sense mostly.)
When it became rowdy, the press were asked to leave for about 20 minutes.
When the press returned, Abaribe announced that he was withdrawing the bill totally.
Whether he had been bullied, threatened or mocked I don't know.
But people like Abaribe who may have good, dispassionate and genuine bills should be able to sleep well at night knowing at least that they tried.
Somethings are just not worth fighting or crying for.
When Lawan asked for the voice vote and the nays had it, I just realised that many people in the Senate are just there to add numbers to the destruction of the country.
As an aside we all know that children below 18 years in the north are registered by INEC and eventually vote on election days, thereby increasing the numbers needed to win.
So also politicians who plant their people in key positions (eg Jaga, IBB and Hau/Ful) and their followers (the ones moving on top of trailers) in different areas are doing so when it's time to vote, support or get a general opinion from every nook and cranny, they will get majority.
Finally as an aside it is gravely insulting, annoying and ridiculous that whenever anyone here on NL says or stands against APC they are automatically tagged PDP or ipods. That's just callous and ludicrous to be civil.
It is annoying that anyone who says the truth you don't like is your enemy.
Many of us are not allied to any party nor are we Hausa, Yoruba or Igbo... live with it, Nigeria is greater than any one tribe or political party!

Jesus’ presence in our hearts fills us with countless reasons for gratitude (Colossians 2:6–7).
He brings the ability to live with purpose and energy (1:28–29).
He cultivates joy in our hearts in the midst of all circumstances, in both times of celebration and times of struggle (Philippians 4:12–13).
Christ’s Spirit provides hope to our hearts that God is working all things together for good, even when we can’t see it (Romans 8:28).
And the Spirit gives a peace that persists regardless of the chaos swirling around us (Colossians 3:15).
- our daily bread

Say no to vices, evil and addictions
They are many, trendy, attractive but DESTRUCTIVE

Be them cocaine, marijuana, fornication, laziness, gluttony, Internet fraud and it's variants yahoo, yahoo plus, rituals, por.n, cultism, joining the occultic world, fake churches, Islamic extremism, gambling, alcohol (na from 4% e dey go up) and so so so many other things bedevilling this present times .

May God help us and rescue the image of Nigerians and dissuade Nigerians from trans-border crimes, in Jesus name, amen

You mean one small Benin, a mere state capital is playing against a whole Nigeria?
Pun intended

After all sebi they said Benin republic wanted to be part of Nigeria

For the sake of my friends from Benin republic, Emet and others, I say,

My the better team win... without otumopko sha

JerkyChan:
You can go ahead and crucify the other service chiefs but please leave former Chief of Air Staff SB Abubakar alone. That baba did well. Not saying he is a saint though, but he really made significant strides in the Nigerian Air Force. Honor should be given to whom it is due.

I agree with you the man did well for the airforce, at least from what NL kept pushing to front page oh.
But I just realised that the difference between Boko Haram and the Nigerian defence as a whole is in Nigeria's Air power.
Boko Haram to my knowledge have no air power or artillery to gun down helicopters or drones.
The air force alone with less man power could have long ended this war if government is sincere.

Sambisa big Sambisa big, na so we no fit use Air power do aerial surveillance finish them... shior
Willy willy don die...

“I am not saying...

The man just kept kept being the petitioner and respondent, going back and forth...
"I'm not saying..."
Wetin concern newspaper editor and senator with khaki?
Are these the first service men to be relieved of their duties?
How come they were not allowed to 'rest' after their 'hardwork'
Why where other past service men not also EVER nominated as ambassadors?
Why the rush?
Why appoint them emblocc? All 4?
Are there no ambassadors already from their state's slots?

I'm not saying...

A great man in the media industry, associated with Village Headmsaster, also an ambassador, born in 1935, though now late once shared his experience with his wife.
He said she used to smoke so he too started to smoke so as to discourage her from continuing. But he said she didn't get the reversed psychology and didn't stop. She died long before him and kicked the habit even before her demise.
His point was that, reverse psychology or joining a loved one do something to change them DOES NOT WORK 90%!

...sadly, your spouse may have a stronger and healthier body than you if you say you want to follow him or her to drink, smoke, club or other negative habits you weren't into before you both married. You may die before your spouse, he or she may eventually stop and for you, paradise lost

While smoking and drinking may not be regarded as outright sin, their effects on you may lead to sin and definitely debilitating health which in my opinion is sin against your 'possible' length of life (you shorten it by your own hands when you have the habit of smoking and drinking alcohol 5%, 10%, 15% alc. vol).

Lastly, adultery is a sin before God and offence in law. It must never be subtly or out rightly encouraged. Be satisfied with your husband and wife. You had a choice. You had time to choose. You had options. That condom can fail and he bring home to you an STD, STI or love child not to mention the reign of kaya mata... HE MAY NEVER COME BACK HOME TO YOU.

Sir Pete Edochie you are still respected by me sir, but on this sir, i vehemently disagree, your advice based on the reverse psychology may prove fatal, ichie

The Bible says time and chance happens to us all.
I guess this means that at some point in our lives we will all get an opportunity for a breakthrough.

Now, imagine if you are to run 100m race with Usain Bolt and he is made to start half way ahead of you, even with a Ferrari would you call that fairness, equity and a good race?

There is a potential dangote in every state. Hardworking, industrious, innovative and ambitious.
But the fact is that only the one from Kano has been given the head start with a Ferrari, while thorns and lions have been put in the way of others. While a few others (whether we admit it or not there are several other billionaires in dollars in this country by loot or by crook or by business) are given scooter, and the vast majority are the ones faced with the thorns and lions.

I'm open to fact finding and correction but over time since Obj's government this has been my view of Dangote- a privileged monopolist, playing politics of business and economics.

Mind you a true business man focuses on business and a politician on good governance.
In many countries these 2 people don't mix. In many more countries these 2 people are hands and gloves. The government provide policies and environment for the businessman to thrive, and the business man sponsors the politician's campaign and help stash his loot as his business front.

What a life..............
And people want to be like Dangote?

Awesomeking:
i dont have data, i would have watched too, can i give you my email address? When you write about the points you learnt, maybe you can send the write ups to me.

I'll be honoured to send you my write-up

My dear brother, for almost 1 week now this is what has been keeping me awake at night oh...

These High School Debates of 1955 to about 1957!

They are mind boggling and very enlightening

Internet dey try sha

I won't have ever known these debates existed.

I guess YouTube is trying to push good contents for the world to rather watch, than the junk most elders erroneously think Internet is all about.
They show that many things did not start today oh, the prejudices, unity, exchange programmes, superiority, desire to learn, want for a better life, patriotism for a better country, English as a lingua franca, believing you are right whereas you are wrong, and so on...

Meeen how I wish more people especially between the ages of 16 to 28 watch these clips.
How I wish I could download from YouTube with the free YouTube data I'm getting, almost 9000mb!

I'm trying as much as I can to compile all the salient points and write about them as a way of reflecting and comparing the position of things almost 70 years ago and the present state of the world.

I may not know much about the politics of economics
But can't this money be used completely to service Nigeria's foreign debt
So we'll have a clean slate?
We borrow too much and owe too much in the Nigerian government
Whereas the government services and maintains the very expensive lifestyles of its officials, contracts and top public and civil servants


Sad
Just pathetic


Also I want to wonder how long it took Ibori to loot this much?
Think about it, as at 1999 - 2007 how much was the federal allocation, 13% derivation, IGR and royalties from oil companies that got into the coffers of the government that he was able to do some things in the state, pay salaries, build a university for himself and pay bursaries?


Also sad is the fact that worse looters have arisen since Ibori left government till today

Oh my
Please mods know that just as junk, toxic, spoilt, expired and sensational foodstuffs are bad for our tummies and health so also some stories.
Some stories are best left in their sections and not to be pushed to fp.

Mods always ask yourselves-
1. Will people learn anything positive and good
2. Will people learn a new way to do a bad thing
3. Will it raise curiosity that would push some to do the same thing
4. Will it build or destroy the readers
5. Will it cast aspersions and rancour, division and promote hatred
6. Is it genuine, confirmed, verified or believable or what researching, confirming or finding out?

This story though believable and having a good ending is all shades of wrong.
Imagine someone leaving shadow and chasing shadow (nose ring).

That girl probably has relatives that she has exposed to unnecessary publicity.
In some countries she would have veiled or blurred her face.

Now some people are doubting her story and accusing her of clout chasing.

Nairaland is filled with great threads, but mods feel sensationalism draws crowds and multiplies pages on the thread!

It's well.

I don't read every story or visit every sectione, deliberately, to save my mind and imagination from unhealthy and evil communication that only end up upsetting me and changing my mood.

I wish us well
