Hello Pastors in the house, pls I’ve been born again for 6years now but yet to perform water baptism.

The church I attend mandates that one completes a 6months class before you can be enrolled for baptism, which isn’t convenient for me. Meanwhile from what I’ve read in the Bible and even seen abroad, a new believer is to be baptized immediately after accepting Christ, but I understand sha this is Nigeria and must be difficult. From all I’ve seen abroad, they don’t delay in baptizing new converts.


PLS IF YOU KNOW ANY PASTOR THAT CONDUCTS WATER BAPTISM, I NEED HIS/HER CONTACT, as I would like to be baptized earnestly. I reside in Lagos. Thank you.

Many people will be blaming her , they don’t know the kind of emotional trauma she’s been probably suffering in her husband’s hand.

Comments like, why is your stomach looking like this? Why is your so full of stretch marks? I’m not even interested again, I wanted to make love before? Na wa o sometimes when I look at you I feel gutted.
Nigerian men have bad mouth and can make their wives commit suicide.

I’m gutted by this!!!! This country is in trouble with the crop of human beings she’s blessed with. What da f**k did I just see? There’s no national WhatsApp group for Nigerian youths where deliberations on how to take back this country from the set of looters milking it dry but here we have people staying awake all night to support some hoes on tv.


One day one day, I’ll see the angel that directed my flight to Nigeria and we’ll have a private chat.

Hmmm some ignorant people here are saying it’s just ordinary it means nothing, I wish I knew better when I consistently had this exact dream in 2004. If not that it is not useful, I would have shared the experience of what followed that dream, but even if share it, some people won’t still learn.

My 2 cent advise for you is this, if you’re a Christian, go for deliverance sessions. Become more spiritually conscious and take everything that happens going forward seriously. That dream is a signal to incoming trailer load of PROBLEMS, that if care isn’t taken, can take life. I’m not trying to get you scared, just don’t take it for granted. I believe you have received mercy already, for you to seek for help about it and not shove it aside, like some of us did. So just act on it and you’ll be fine. The truth is, it is also a pointer to the fact that there are great things ahead of you and the enemy has seen it and ready to fight to avert it. So I pray you win. If you need more help you can ask me. Typing from firsthand experience.

Lagos has no business celebrating this coming October 1st. It has never been a free land since 1999. Under the cage of a dynasty, it's people have lived under the direction and control of one man.

“We must be free not because we claim freedom, but because we practice it.” - William Faulkner

“I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Richdad

As much as I get your point and despise oligarchy. Pls mention a free state in Nigeria that is being governed better than Lagos...I mean a state that gives her senatorial ticket to a former bank MD, you know it will be impossible of him to just go to senate and sleep.

Tunde Idiagbon was from ilorin but of Fulani extraction. Just like you people like Dele Belgore, Gambari; the present SGF. They only have Yoruba names but they are conscious of their Fulani ancestry.

DMerciful:
I only countered your claim that he is an exconvict even when the supreme court has squashed it shockingly but it's still a fact it has been squashed and we need to respect that. You assertion that I want to market Kalu is false as he will be a disaster if given presidency. He failed in Abia so why will i send a failure to the national stage? If I'm to nominate a candidate from the East it will either be Obi or Umahi or Moghalu.
The rest like OUK, Okorocha, Ngige are jokers.
But my point is it is wrong of you to refer to Kalu as exconvict despite supreme court judgement

No it is not wrong in a country where judgement goes to the highest bidder. We all know he purchased it leave sentiments out of it. On what basis are you supporting those candidates?

1. Peter Obi the pathological Russian liar, he’s only second to Donald Trump when it comes to lying. Even Willie Obiano came out with facts to prove that he was lying about the imaginary fund he said he left at Anambra.

2. Umahi, pls show me facts to justify your support for him.

3. Moghalu: you see the mistake we make is thinking governance is an easy thing. What experience does he have to lead a country. I laugh at people like Moghalu, Sowore and even the other motivational talker, can’t remember his name now, who thinks Governance is beans....

You see we all have to understand that we shouldn’t entrust our present and future in the hands of people who have nothing to show that they are capable. Look at what we are currently going through for allowing Buhari, I keep asking myself, if I used to call Jonathan clueless, what exactly will I call Buhari, I mean I’m short of words to qualify a misfit.

DMerciful:
I said you're emotional, not fit for political arguments. You know how the court works, you accused the supreme court of your land of being bribed but when we say Nigeria is not working, let's restructure or break it, you disagree. If you agree that the supreme court can be bought, what hope do you have in Nigeria?
Put sentiments aside and take a logical stand. By the way I agree with you that the supreme court is compromised!

Lol... I laugh at your trial at putting many things in to one comment. I’ll rather ignore the insults. We are not here talking about the best course of action to take about a country that is not working, that is a different discussion entirely and does not in anyway justify your initial position that led to this discussion between you and I. The discussion between you and I has to do with your trial at selling an unmarketable product like OUK.
I mean it is a dead on arrival mission, the more reason nobody is taking him seriously even in APC. If he likes let him continue to tour the length and breadth of this country between now and 2022 , he won’t even be considered for a V.P slot let alone of a Prexy candidate. Can’t you see no one in APC cares about his tours? But all of them are worried about another nigga sitting in bourdillon who is even yet to make a sentence on his 2023 ambition. Pls don’t get me wrong o, I can never root for anyone of them, they are all robbers and enemies of the masses. But even amongst them, there are senior members and junior members, OUK in the scheme of things in APC today is a small fry, truth be told!

DMerciful:
Let's not get emotional. Obj was granted presidential pardon, internet is in your fingertips bro, confirm it. I dont want OUK to be president because he failed as governor however if the supreme court has overturned his conviction as a mistake, why are you holding onto it? Dont you know how the court hierarchy works?

Yes of course I know how the court hierarchy works, the eventual judgement always go to the highest bidder. Nonsense....no matter how hard you try, a pig will forever be a pig!

DMerciful:
So why was a presidential pardon necessary to contest? Is a lower court superior to the judgement of the supreme court?

1. I am not aware there was anything like a pardon before he contested, I’ll need more proof before I can speak on that.

2. It is disheartening that we are here trying to rationalize the candidacy of a widely known corrupt man who has even been convicted by the court. It doesn’t make sense. Even as bad as Nigeria is, I promise him and all you his propagandist the only election he’ll win is in his state or SE.

DMerciful:
O boy, even with internet you're still ignorant? Why did Abdulsalami's govt gazette a presidential pardon to enable him contest? Obj was indicted by a military tribunal for coup!To enable him contest, he was pardoned!

The ignorant one here is you! You’re trying so hard to compare a military trial concocted by a dictatorial military Govt with a legally convicted case of OUK in a court of jurisprudence ....you’ll need anoda life including the one you currently have to make a point with any sensible person. I know in many years to come your lots would have repeated the lie so many times to make it appear like it is the truth.

After seeing a lot of people lament on NL and seeing that they (NL) ignore people who call for improvement, I saw that people need a platform beta than NL, then how do I do this? I created a Django project and started to write codes, if u see anything on the platform, I wrote it, even the unnoticeable things, it is a lot of work, it took me more than 2 months to write, and I was kind of stupid, I thought beta designs and more functionalities would make people automatically use the platform, but I was wrong, well I am not surprised this is the country where people call for change but they are not ready or comfortable to change.
The forum is a platform where u would want join, the ability to create your own category, threads, to follow people and see all their posts on ur their activities feeds, u have better of getting jobs because u get notified if a job posted meets your job tags, ability to create polls and get a bar chart and get notified when the polls expires and ability to post blogs or mini articles, the best thing here is that on complains the site get updated in real-time.
I have moved the app to AWS and got a domain
www.africonn.com. The forum design is great to me and I spend a huge amount of time on it. The only thing missing is users, if u reading this, pls check it out, I am sure it is the best Nigerian forum u have seen, it is not just some WordPress forum site or Nairaland clone I have been seeing, that more of the reason why I wrote the code in the first place. the best part is that code can be adjusted when people wants or complains it ain't rigid like Nairaland, please the least you could is sign up and share d apps with ur networks on any SM networks on your profile.
www.africonn.com/forum/signup/

Lol...I checked it out, but was put off by the login page immediately. If you wanna create anything it must be miles above NL, how do you expect people to join a forum they can’t even peep to know what’s going on in there?

flyingpig:
rada rada. So how come he is a serving senator representing abia North if his people so hate him

Cos we are in a useless country created by people like OUK and filled with people like you who have no iota of truth in them

flyingpig:
So, was kanu convicted of corruption or his sentence was quashed by a competent court of law?

I wouldn’t stoop low to discuss the obvious with you. You’re either a paid propagandist or deluded Nigerian. If you’re the former then I understand but if you’re latter, then you’re part of the Nigerian problem, even Abians who bore the brunt of OUK’s 8 yrs misrule will place curse on you for mentioning his name.

You see the issue of bestie has come to expose us Nigerians that our understanding of what a boyfriend and girlfriend isn’t right.
Most people have misinterpreted boyfriend/girlfriend relationship to a sexual relationship, meanwhile it used to be a relationship between 2 opposite gender who share similar traits, views, opinions and even upbringing. They are naturally attracted to each other and comfortable with each other’s personality. But heck no, most Nigerians think boyfriend/girlfriend is about shifting pant, hence the reason why a girl after having someone that regularly shifts her pant will still be looking for another opposite male friend to be her buddy. Because she doesn’t see many similarities between herself and her pant shifter and most times not even comfortable sharing all her mind with him.

As in what is even the basis of dating or marrying in the first place if that person is not your bestie?
Your bestie is supposed to be your boyfriend/girlfriend or wife/husband. Someone you both naturally click, when such a person is your sexual partner, then you guys become each others soul mate.
I.e Bestie + Sexual partner = Soulmate

flyingpig:
So, was kanu convicted of corruption or his sentence was quashed by a competent court of law?

Oga why are you bringing unrelated issues? We are here discussing OUK and OBJ and veered off to bring Kanu. If I get you correctly you’re referring to Kanu; your IPOB leader. How does he come in to play, is he vying to become the president of Nigeria?

flyingpig:
but obj came from prison to rule Nigeria in 1999 and heaven didn't fall

Lol...you’re so poor trying to make a point.
OBJ was imprisoned by a world renowned military dictator he wasn’t convicted of corruption. You can ask your elders who were adults at the time for further explanations, maybe they’ll tell you the difference between “detention” and “imprisonment”.

loopman:
He governed tiny Anambra and turned the state into Catholic vs Protestant state. He ensured he used the tribalism card to deny Ngige a return to the senate.
He governed a monolithic state where 99% are his fellow Ibos.

So according to his fellow Ibos, he is the most qualified person to rule Nigeria

Truth is after Nnamdi Kanu. Peter Obi is the most unelectable ibo candidate for a national post

Atiku lost partly due to the Peter Obi factor

Clowns

Thank you my man. Also, he is an unrepentant liar, second only to Donald Trump. Peter Obi will lie without blinking.

flyingpig:
odimma na, I'll keep on campaigning for PDP to zone their ticket to SE on the grounds of 21years total loyalty, and having Buhari already do an 8years tenure for North.

While I'll also keep pushing all OUK Northern alliances towards front page. We need the two.

If the reason you’re supporting OUK is because you’re being paid, then it’s fine. But if you’re not being paid , then you’re an enemy of the good of this country. You are pushing for a thief, robber of destiny to become the President of Nigeria. May God judge you. Infact people of Abia state will stone you to death for this

kcnwaigbo:
How exactly did Shagari manage to defeat owolowo with an Igbo VP barely 9 years after the war ended??

Lol....oh my God, you people know nothing about history. Ekwueme was picked as a VP just to fulfill all righteousness not because he had any political credit beyond SE. Go and ask around or even research it yourself, the election was outrightly between AWOLOWO AND THE NORTHERN CABALS, infact Shagari was not even a factor in his own election in 1979.....same thing in 1983, 1993...the northern cabals were however defeated at the polls by Abiola but they had their way in the end. Let me tell you Igbos have never been a factor in Nigerian politics since the end of the war, it is unfortunate I agree. But I think Igbos have contributed to that a lot too, and Igbos do not know that their real enemies are the northerners yet they serve PDP. Although, the fact is that the Northern cabals have no friends in Igbo or Yoruba, they just use any, but Yorubas know this and have learned to outsmart them sometimes, this is painful but true. The best way to deal with the northern cabals especially in this democratic dispensation is for the south to unite, drag North central who are predominantly Christians with them and then teach the northern hegemony a bitter lesson. But Yorubas and Igbo leaders are too foolish to put their differences aside and work for a common goal. As for me ehn, I am from SW, I wouldn’t mind Yorubas supporting a qualified Igbo candidate in 2023, as a way to unify the south, cos the only way the north will have it in 2023 is due to the lack of unity in the south.

Misterdhee1:
The bolded is one reason why many have issues with an igbo man leading. How is Peter Obi more qualified than any Nigerian alive? On what metrics?

Leave him, you know they are naturally delusional. Peter Obi, a pathological liar, is the most qualified Nigerian alive, so says his brother�...we shall see how qualified he is in 2023.

Deborah98:
Is it not better we have our own political party since everything in Nigeria is dominated by a particular sect of people....

Having your own political party is not as important as forming alliances and building bridges, now that’s something that is alien to Igbos.

kingzizzy:
PDP fielding an Igbo man for Presidency is what Tinubu, APC and the South West are praying for so that they can unite with friends up in the North in their hatred of Igbos and ensure APC wins



The best bet for PDP is to field Atiku/Obi again in 2023. No 2 position is better than no position

Lol...I like your unfortunate submission up there you know. But wait, let us analyze why Igbos don’t have friends up north. The question is do Igbos even have friends anywhere? Igbos fight everyone and even themselves, they claim to be predominantly Christians but the kind of bitterness and hatred they habour are incomparable. Winners build bridges and form alliances while losers beat chest.

Brooklynsouth:
all I see are ewedu eating creatures who are pretending to love Igbos while it's for there own interest lol see Yoruba telling Igbos what to do , since when ? so you want to use your Muslim advantage to appeal to the core northerners to vote base on religion ...for now igbo interest will be served under a northern candidate, a liberal at that politics is all about interest and not sentiment.if Yoruba want to protect our interest let them project for all igbo affair just like we did in 1999 .Yoruba we are not fools instead Yoruba to be president by crook using this PDP should give Igbos ticket while APC Yoruba ,you damn stup*d to think like an*mal .usel**ss imb*ciles

See a typical Igbo man...they are ruled by emotions rather than rational thinking. Go and check the writer of the article again, if he’s not your brother from the land of the rising sun. You better stop this hatred for Yorubas cos it won’t stop Yorubas from progressing.

AtikuNetwork:
This is an attempt to sow seeds of division in PDP and igbos should be careful not to fall for it. Atiku is what Nigeria needs. Igbos will be compensated for their loyalty at the appropriate time. We must think Nigeria first. Tribalism will not move us forward in this country.

See a paid propagandist o....imagine someone telling me that Atiku is what Nigeria needs. Oh my God!!!!....I pray for you and your children that God will treat your lives the way ATIKU and other political thieves have treated Nigerian treasury.

So Igbos should fold their arms again and vote for your lord. You are m*d my brother and you know it�

helinues:
You guys need to be realistic instead of being optimistic... Kalu can not win ordinary primary election in Southern region not to talk of North..

Who will impose a known ex convict?

My brother tell them ooo...sometimes I get weakened by most comments here and conclude that these people know little about politics.

As in WHO REALLY IS OUK IN APC? .....�����....he was nobody in the party before he went to prison and his identity became worse after going to prison.

Deborah98:
Lolzzzzz same thing happened to me,I have been a guest for 2years and, just created an account this year around May if am not mistaken, before you know it,one mad dog from no where started hurling insults at me, trolling me on every thread and comment I make, making derogatory statements about me,see me ooooh,I don't know him,I haven't met him before but I was composed not to let that distract me....

Deborah! Deborah!!Deborah!!!...we the gods of the land are happy with you�....oya bring money to break colanut

MarieSucre:
No be only reality, na railway. Ogbeni stop Nollywood movies, there is no reality in which a woman will suffer because she rejected you. Even the ones that are in relationships but have ported last minute to marry someone else, what has happened to them? You better wake up from your fantasy. There is no divine vengeance anywhere.

Mummy wa, and again I say, calm down and drink water. Stop crying more than the bereaved.

And your moniker happens to be my favorite actor in Prison break. He was a definition of “loyalty” in that movie. I hope the word “loyalty” rings a bell��

MarieSucre:
You think life is a Nollywood movie, where because the girl rejected the boy, her life hot bad and his got better. You better wake up! Nothing will happen to her in 10 years, she will be married, have a good career abroad and a loving circle of friends, while you will still be here on nairaland being bitter because a woman rejected you once.

Lol...what a huge blow from an unsuspecting person. Babe, calm down and take water. I didn’t insinuate anything negative but reality. So pls stop crying more than the bereaved.
You actually do sound like a victim you know.

@alexgman;

If you don’t mind can I ask you some questions about her...

Did she just finished service after graduating from Unilag?...answer me so I can tell you what I wanna tell you.

I mean no joke here

No wahala...I’m not attracted to him yen yen yen...we’ll be here to ask how far about that your myopic decision you made 10yrs ago?

Bannylove13:
You came up with odili name ... and I said you explain.. you don’t even know me.. and you start singing ... tying trash.. only to end up insulting yourself and family ..
.... end up involving God..

Are you sure .. you’re alright?

Chief, I am not fighting you here and my comment wasn’t directed at you or anyone, except you’re Odili’s P.A or one of his children, of which I’m sure you’re none.
Again, I didn’t insult you or anyone in my post. Stop being aggressive, it’s a sign of weakness. Trust me your insults and aggression isn’t making you look any different.
