Coronavirus is real. The narratives around it is what is nauseating. How can people modify and activate less harmful virus into a dangerous strain, release it in public and then start proffering solution to the problem?

People started questioning the motives behind it as soon as Bill Gates name propped up. But then, don't forget...he is a saviour in Africa and Africans are known to worship anyone (not excluding the devil) with stupendous wealth.

Shouldn't he be going to all the Covid-19 centers to heal the sick? Or his miracle pot has run out of juice?
Imagine if Adeboye, Oyedepo, Oyakhilome, Okotie, T.B March 27th, Fireman, Indabosky, Suleiman, Mbaka and other inglorious pretenders/hustlers got together against Covid-19. I will pay to watch the episode in Mythbusters.

Wrong!

USOil for May delivery ended -$37. Yes it is not a typo. It is negative $37. Brent is holding up well.

In a perfect world, it means US oil companies will beg and pay countries to come and take oil for free. Carry 1 barrel, get 10 barrels free. But then, the world is not perfect. If it were Brent oil, the whole world would have shaken by now.

Good evening ladies and gents...



I have apologized to her on my knees all to no avail.

Read the above statement 100 times.

You knelt down to beg your wife?

She has your balls in her purse. It didn't start recently. You just never paid attention. You are not a man.

The only thing funny about this lockdown is that even the tough guys claiming Blackaxe, Eiye, Buccaneers, etc are complaining too.

This is a child's play compared to minimum 2 years in kirikiri when you eventually get arrested. Don't claim tough if you are not tough.

My Love Experience

Good day NLanders

I'm a medical student, and gf ( not sure what to call her now) is in MLS. We are both in same level (500l).

It all started in 2015, when we gained admission into the University. We began to read together and subsequently I started teaching her. Later on, she made me to read and susummarize her course topics (which I did for up to her 300 level) for her as she usually found it difficult to read with textbooks and understand the contents.

Months before my 2nd MBBS examinations, I began to notice changes in her attitude and behaviour towards me, up to the point that she told me that if I did not pass that examinations that, she will forget about me. But as God may have it, I passed successfully.

Financially, it started right in year one as I celebrated her and her mummy's Christmas from my own pocket. It got to a point that I usually give her her money almost every day (for up to 5yrs) Whenever, I'm traveling in any of our vacations, I usually give money for upkeep until I'm back.

In 300l, I bought her gift worth almost 30k and also celebrated her birthday which she demanded I get her 'point and kill cat fish' that cost 9k.

I usually pay for her textbooks and seminar work as we are all in medical school, I really do a lot for her, as she always told me she would never leave me right from yr 1 to 500l after which she started telling me, their people from Anambra will not let her marry people from Ebonyi State.

She's has known this for all her life, but decided to bring it up just now, when I'm beginning my marriage plans with her, She's started giving me unnecessary excuses in one form or the other.

In 400L, my elder brother told me that I should leave my medical school here to go and study the same medicine abroad. Because of her, I told him that I want to finish my school here since I am already in 400 level. That after my MBBS degree, I can then go abroad for my Masters degree...

This January, my elder brother told me that since I would be graduating in 2022 (which supposed to be 2021 but due to strike before the 2019 election) which is two years time, that I should be planning to get married before I leave this country.

This made me to ask her again if we are ending up together and she told me that she has to seek for her mother's consent, and would give me a feedback.

Before, she travelled (this is just before the lock down) as she was complaining that she does not have any money on her to eat and she want to go and learn how to plait hair which will cost her #8,000, I gave her #16,000. The next day after collecting the money, she told me that she received a call from her mother that she must come back to her State and she travelled with that money without learning anything.

Yesterday by 8:24pm, I called her to tell me the outcome of her mother's discussion with her. She told me that her mother insisted that she cannot marry an Ebonyi man, and she cannot go outside her mother's decision.

In conclusion, she told me that she cannot marry me.

Well, as expected, I'm bracing myself up for insults, (I really don't mind this right now) but amidst the insults, pls advice a brother who's fighting emotionally.

thanks

You guys never learn. You keep saying "not my portion" and continue to make the same mistakes.

Kindly forward to the guy that got an appointment letter in an oil company and wants to start training his 200L gf in school with the hope of marrying her later.

This stories never get old.

\

/
The ballers who like to make lasting impressions are looking for people to lend them money. It ain't gonna happen. Save at least 6 months of your salary. They thought it was a joke because they believed they had secured jobs. Then coronavirus happened.

The massive retrenchment in oil companies will hurt some people badly. People love to learn the hard way and usually I oblige them.

Wait first, is it oxygen masks these guys have been calling ventilators?

Doctors in the house am I missing something?

/
They have no idea what a ventilator is. How do you wean a patient off of the box they have? Ventilator parts are as intricate as the electronic components in a car. It is not just about pushing air into the lungs. It calculates the airway pressure, administers PEEP, etc and has alarms to trigger in the event of any of the set parameters not met. These fellows are looking for someone to kill.

Greennotes:
All of you met yourselves many years ago.

And many of you who have contributed and are still contributing in governing got foreign education/course (civil and military) from the UK, US and other European countries. Why is it that Nigeria is still underdeveloped? Do you guys learn things that are different from what the white folks learnt? How can someone who read law, history, sociology abroad falter in governance? Or, are you guys just wicked?

/
To get the best out of a Nigerian, educate and retain him in a foreign land. Once you let him back in the hell called Nigeria, they become worse than their ill-educated counterparts because there are no oversight. There is no system to guide them and without a system in place, the certificates acquired by ANY Nigerian is a total waste. When challenged, they cry to citizens of developed nations to come and save them.

Prove me wrong.

It is a big mistake to hire a Nigerian based solely on the content of his or her CV. You will be setting yourself up for a great disappointment.
\

/
I like how they reminded the readers that he is a billionaire. What are his inventions? What is his business? Nothing! Just selling hope to the down-trodden with the Bible and in the process extort the little they have with empty threats of eternal damnation if they hold back

It still baffles me how someone living in Nigeria will be scared of hell. They are already in hell.

\

/
Mad men on the street talk. Do you blame them? You blame the morons that will follow the predictions of an obvious mad fellow. Adeboye and his ilks should cut it out. Covid-19 and their litany of false prophecies have exposed their scam. Enticing Nigerians with extorted wealth is not the gateway to heaven. The end doesn't always justify the means.

\

/

Final final...you will take care of your family and put food on your table.

How has the President or VP coming from your region benefitted anyone above and beyond other families in this crisis? Nada! The bad decisions you make will equally affect you. So ride on fellas. Every mallam and im own kettle.

unstoppable51:
Have you ever heard about the Judgement Day as a Christian? What did you hear about it?

There are very few messages I know that strike as much fear in the hearts of “Christians” as the message of the “Judgement Day”.

The reason is because some christians have been made to believe that the judgement day is a day that is full of uncertainties. That is, you can’t be sure of what to expect that day.

They have also been told that the judgement which will take place that day is based on our human performance. If you do enough good works, then God would probably have pity on you on that day and not cast you into hell. If you are not careful the way you go about your christian life, you would see the other side of Him.

Some have even been told that on that day, God will display all the sins you have ever committed on a big TV Screen for the whole world to watch. Imagine such foolishness. How can the same God that said in 2 Corinthians 5:19, Hebrews 8:12 and Hebrews 10:17, that He doesn’t record your sins and will never remember them against you, go back on His Word?

All these notions above, are just some of the un-biblical teachings people have been fed about the judgement day. As long as you hold strongly to such notions, the devil, the accuser of brethren, will keep using them to take away your joy and keep you in bondage to fear. Especially when you have not been at your best behaviour.

Everytime you hear that the Judgement Day is coming, your whole body will shiver. You will think of all the negative things you’ve done and not see any reason why you won’t end up in Hell. All because you believe it is a day your behavioural script will be marked and in your own eyes you scored 0/100.

What really is the judgement day and how is it going to look like?

The judgement day is simply a day in which God would separate those who received His life through Faith in His Son Jesus, from those who didn’t. Those who didn’t believe in Him (Jesus), will be separated eternally from Him and the saints. Having been separated from His presence, they shall be utterly destroyed (Hell).
Concerning that day, here Is what apostle John wrote to us as believers.

1Jn 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
1Jn 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Did you notice how he went on from verse 15 to explain something about the man in Christ i.e the believer today?

He says God LIVES WITHIN him. He has been made PERFECT in God’s love and would have BOLDNESS on the day on Judgement.

So on that day of judgement, we won’t be approaching the judge of the whole world with fear, timidity or shyness. We won’t have to shy away from His presence because we are not holy or righteous enough. We won’t be approaching Him with anything fear. You know why?

That is because as Jesus IS, so are WE in this present world.

The question now is, how is Jesus presently?
Well Jesus is RIGHTEOUS, HOLY and WELL-PLEASING (acceptable) to the father.

That simply means as believers, we are RIGHTEOUS, HOLY and ACCEPTABLE or WELL-PLEASING to the Father also.

2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

As Christ IS, is how we are now and will forever be. That’s why we would have BOLDNESS/CONFIDENCE to stand before Him on that great day of judgement. That is what the Bible teaches.

Look at that verse 17 and 18 of 1 John 4 one more time.

1Jn 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
1Jn 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Notice how it is clearly explained that God doesn’t want you to live in fear of that day. If you are still afraid of that day, it simply means you have not been made perfect in the love of God. You are yet to understand fully how much God loves you. You are yet to understand all that He has done for you in Christ. You are yet to understand who you are in Christ!

Yes the judgement day is coming but Jesus got you covered as a believer. Unlike what is popularly believed out there, your sins are not going to be displayed for the whole world to see and judge your level of performance. You are not going there to be judged by your works but rather your faith in Christ.

The only time you will ever be judged for your works as a believer is at the Judgement Seat of Christ. This is after you have gone to heaven.

That is where you will receive the reward for the good works you have done here on earth. If you have no good works on your account then, you will certainly have no reward from Him. Though you will still be in heaven. That is because heaven is not a reward for our good we have done. It is a gift we receive by faith in Christ.

Left for us, there is no amount of good works we can do that will be enough for us to enter there.

So, the last day or the day of Judgement, is the day in which God will judge the whole world. And on that day, only one thing will matter - Faith in Christ.

Have you believed in Jesus as your Saviour from sin and condemnation or are you still struggling very hard on your own to please God?
Do not forget that I said on that day ONLY ONE THING will matter. Not your religion, church or good works. Only faith in Christ. That is what will determine the outcome of your judgement.
That is the truth about the Judgement Day. That is what the Bible truly teaches!

Having received Christ as our Lord and saviour, we BOLDLY await that day!

I hope this blesses you.

I am happy now that you are right and everyone else who read the same Bible is wrong.

Why are humans preempting God? Did God tell you this like every other pastor littering the Nigerian religious space claims? What makes you believe that the Bible holds the absolute truth?

\

Rozz:
The primary responsibility of an envagelist is to preach God's words, telling people simply and clearly what God says about his messengers and what He has done for us all. It is the duty of an envangelist to deliver God's message and be faithful to every word.

However it is a difficult task for single ladies who have passion for evangelism. Most of the opposite sex do not really have interest in your message but romance and believe me some can go to any length for this.

No doubt I have passion for evangelism but my pastor has advised me against it as it brings everything controversial for all the moves I have made towards it, even online is not left out.

Pastors in the house, do you think I should give up this passion? Am I going against God's passion in me if I stop?

Simplyleo:
Human beings who have held reasonable positions of substance in the affairs of this country at one time or the other have commiserated on the death of COS to the president. 
Gej
Atiku 
FFK 
Reno and a host of others too numerous to mention. 

The useless inconsequential rants and curses of little things like ipob e-rats behind social media are of no meaning. 

To console their wacked perennial upbringing of hate anger and perdition, the useless rats say "majority of Nigerians" instead stating the reality "ipob miscreants". One of the rats is even saying Buhari is the next. Even if Buhari drop dead today, he has lived a life many NIGERIANS pray for, which may not be possible. 

RIP sir, Abba Kyari, and may God grant your family, friends and loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.

And he rose from the dead after "reasonable" people mourned him? People have right to express their opinion about him especially after the Director of NSA leaked that he was the one pampering(short of saying sponsoring) Boko Haram.

VivleBriella:
Good day everyone

I've been a guest for a couple of years now, created an account to seek advice

My dear nairalanders, does it always end well marrying the Breadwinner of a family? He's the last born with 4 elder siblings but they all depend on him.

Yes, I knew he was the Breadwinner from day one but I thought with time, everyone else will be able to stand on their own, but it hasn't happened yet, we've dated for 3yrs now and he doesn't support me financially. I don't complain but he feels entitled to my money and when I get tired of him always asking me to lend him some money and decide to say no, he nags and tells me I'm not being supportive enough.

This is driving me really crazy cause he reminded me of how unsupportive I've been to him and his family, he's driving me insane, you can't possibly put the responsibility of your family on my shoulders, that's crazy and insensitive, over the years, I've borrowed him nothing less than 500k which I know for sure he's never giving back.

Is it normal to be in a parasitic relationship whereby the female remains the host that's being fed on?

I'm only 24 while he's 31.

/
What I found unbelievable is that you stayed with him for 3 years. Worse than that is that you are considering marrying him. What's with you people with seeing all the signs and yet jump into fire to see if you will get burned? Are you that desperate that you will marry him?

Girls from rich families don't get handouts because everyone believes they have it all. So the little they ever get from outsiders mean a lot personally.

Girls from poor families are used to being at the receiving end. At a point, it becomes an entitlement. They are quick to label people "stingy" if you don't empty your wallet to satisfy them.

Of course, there are some exceptions. But exceptions are outliers.

Would the politicians learn from this? A former Minister of Works died on a road he refused to fix and
they continued like nothing happened. Don't think this will be different.

Abba Kyari is old anyways. There are not a lot of people that enjoyed so much at his age.

Recently, I got a job with an oil company....of which my girlfriend of 7 months does not know of, even though I will start documentation next month. In her mind, she still thinks I work with Npower.

The thing is, I asked her if she will marry me and she said YESSS. This girl is fvcken pretty. I mean very pretty and she sings. She is currently in her penultimate year and I think am convinced she likes me for real. Isn't God wonderful?

/
Oil companies are currently retrenching with oil price hovering in the 20s. Don't celebrate too early. You should be planning to save instead of diving head and feet into a parasitic relationship.

Some people just plan to fail.

NB: Oil companies' jobs are no longer secure. Plan your life well. Your girl is still in school and you will definitely inherit her expenses. Don't come online later to cry about how she abandoned you after graduation.

Get through the probation period first at the new job before raising shoulders.

Let it affect Africa. Maybe our head will correct now.

/
Isn't it sad that in the global arena, Africa has been turned to a continent that are filled with supposedly humans who cannot survive without the help of other races. The worst part is that African leaders and Africans gladly accepted this stereotype and live as such. It is apparent that others still see Africans as subhumans.

A notorious Arab slave trader Mehmet Ali succinctly put it, "you do not need to destroy the black African because he always ends up destroying himself and his people for you."

Moving on, the famous Marcus Garvey noted, " having had the wrong education as a start in his racial career, the negro has become his own greatest enemy. Most of the trouble I have had in advancing the cause of the race has come from negroes". Sounds familiar? Listen to the folks parading their degrees on nairaland. They are as useless as they come--no original thought process. Instead they take glory in vomiting the nonsense they have been fed.

I will never blame the leaders in Nigeria. Those days are gone.
I blame the ones that stayed in school for years, learned everything there is to learn but during elections, they focus on religion and ethnicity--two criteria that do not fit into quality leadership.
Buhari is doing his best even though his best may not be enough. One cannot squeeze water out of a stone. He showed his qualifications but Nigerians chose him. Let Nigerians enjoy thr choice of leadership they made. I am quiet indifferent.

When they thought everything was good, they handed their destiny over to Tinubu. Now that times are bad, they can go to Bourdillon close to get food. I don't really think that will happen because they have been used and dumped. The MOPOL guarding their lord will probably open fire on them. Folks like to learn the hard way. Will the corona saga open their eyes? I refuse to believe that it could.
