He has said buy land, still some people will not buy.

To get half plot now in a Lagos, u must hold good millions.

We just sold a half plot of land at Ayobo-Ipaja, Lagos. A Beautiful land. Squared shaped land in a good very developed area in lagos. It was part of the landlord's land so he cut part of the one plot and sold the half

Guess how much?

9 Million Naira.

I took a client there, he was busy pricing 6 Million Naira.

In not less than few weeks, I heard the land had been sold at that same 9 Million Naira. Somebody heard of it and rushed to buy very fast.

This happened in December, 2022.

No cheap lands in Lagos again.

Even some people that missed Lagos and had to rush to Ogun State to buy lands are currently frustrated. Especially the Igbo people.

Now one other landlord on my street here in Lagos said he wants to cut part of his one plot of land too and sell the other part off.

I asked the Agent how much? He said 10Million Naira and its Quarter plot ooo.

People should hurry. Lagos is getting expensive by the day.

People would later go back to their villages and buy lands to live in and be coming from their to Lagos to work every morning or keep living in rented apartment for a long time.

It is well

You are right. They way some people in the church judge others is not good at all. Like now, I'm going through financial difficulty, when some of the church members found out I went to the pastor for help their attitude towards me changed. They stopped warming up to me like before.

All the while they thought I was well to do but on seeing my true situation which made me ask for help from the church, it has reduced my value in their eyes.

Ive not received the help from the church tho for some reasons that are not clear to me.

For me, the church is the safest place to seek for help in times of need for a christian. If the church cannot help a child of God, it can lead to great grief. May God help everyone.

As for you op, you are doing a very charitable thing and if no one sees you, God is seeing you.
May God bless you for your help to the returnee.

Indeed our God does not look at appearance but the heart. It is well!

You have said it all. Thank you

There is what is referred to an "interesting read" this certainly isn't one of them.I'm being honest here.

That said,
Facial expression is subjective and there are those always with a "welcoming" smile on their faces but are dangerous people.

For example Bisi Akande of the APC is always smiling but a terrible person.

Who in Nigeria today does not know that Buhari's body language shouldn't be taken serious?

I did not post my experience for it to be awarded an "Interesting Read" dear.

I just posted my experience for people to

1) to learn a lesson from it.

2) If guilty of being that "self righteous judgemental christian with bad attitude who goes to church" to stop it and turn a new leaf before they drive people away from the house of God.
But hey, even the bible says that "Judgement will begin from the house of God - 1Peter 4 vs 17.

Now both No 1 and No 2 is a matter of choice.

Naira20:
I lost interest midway into your writeup because it's all a figment of your imagination.

You think... From the look on their face...blablabla

There is something called facial expressions and body language. Not every message is passed across with words. You need to learn to read it. It will help u alot in life. I come in peace.

Hello everyone.

I am just not happy this Sunday morning. So I went to a Hotel to pick up a middle aged man I'm caring for. I'm a Caregiver. I'm not paid for the job. I'm doing it for GOD. I've been doing it since the beginning of this year January. The person had his family member come visit him on Friday from the South East. The family member lodged in a hotel because of Air Conditioner. I don't have Air Conditioner in my house and the man I'm caring for loves AC because of cool breeze so it was best for them. The family member travelled back early this morning to the South East so I had to rush down to continue taking care of him and bring him back to my house.

I got to the hotel in the morning around 7am. The man I'm caring for told me he didn't want to follow me home that early (I know he didn't want to follow me back home because there is no AC in my house. He just came back from USA after he fell sick) He still wanted to continue sleeping and enjoy AC so I said he can continue sleeping till check out time which was around 12noon. I told him I will wait till that time, then I will prepare him and we go.

I then told him in the meantime, I will use the opportunity to go to the church opposite the hotel who were singing worship songs when I was coming.
At least use that to buy time till 12noon when he is ready to go.

He agreed. Then I moved out of the hotel and walked straight into the church.

As I was about entering the compound of the church, some workers at the church gate saw me entering and called me. They were calling me as if they didn't want me to enter the compound which was their reason.

They asked me where I was going into. In my mind, I was like "where else am I going into if not your church". I them told them I was going to the church. The countenance on their face just changed immediately. It was clear they didn't want me to enter the church.

I told them I was coming from the Hotel opposite the church and I decided to come to the church. One of them was about to say something about my dressing.

For the records, I wore a long sleeve shirt, below the knee length shorts, a pam slippers and a head warmer on my head becos I left my house in the early hours of the morning and everywhere was cold but I had in mind removing it once I enter the church auditorium because I don't cover my head inside a church auditorium.

At that moment, I was said myself, why am I even explaining myself to these people.

So I asked them "You don't want me to come to your church right"? Then I walked away. As I was going, they started calling me back.

Then I got to the hotel and I started thinking about alot of things. I asked myself "Why do we judge people?" Is this how the church pursue sinners away from the church of God? Did they see me coming from the hotel and judged me immediately? Did they think I was a homeless person coming to church for help? Infact what if I was a homeless person coming to church to pray for God to help me, is that how they would drive me away.

What they didn't know was that I'm also a christian and a choirister too in my own church but I can imagine if it was someone else whose faith in God is still small or is still growing in faith. That act can discourage them from serving God or ever going to church again.

Please as christians, let's stop this over righteous behaviour. It not good atall. You judge people by looking at them without knowing anything about them. You are not GOD. Let's look beyond dressing. God does not look at such. People come to church to pray to God. We are all children of God regardless of religion. Even the sinners today are still children of God because he made everyone in his image and likeness and causes the sun to shine on both the saints and the sinners for a reason.

Some people feel because they are always going to church on Sunday they are better than someone who does not go to church. It is not good. Don't be like that. You are not better than anyone. Don't be like the Pharisees who were hypocrites and felt they were the most righteous on earth.

At the end of the day, it is only GOD that tests the heart and knows those whose hearts are for him.

God bless you.

I have reached home. No light at home. The weather is so hot. I cooked fried plantain and made tea for my patient to eat. He has eaten. And I just gave him his medication. And I prepared a place for him to sleep while opening the doors for breeze to come in. Though he still complaining of heat.
Right now, I want to go and shower. Eat then sleep small. In the evening, I will try and listen to any of Apostle Joshua Selmans preaching on YouTube. May God strengthen me. Have a nice day.
