Chifriend: Those who know Calabar know the distance I am talking about here.
I trekked all the way from Scanabo in 8 miles to UNICAL to submit my credentials to someone.
Life of an applicant is a painful life.
I don't know how many kilometers that would be but it's quite a long distance. Almost like trekking from one LGA to the other. I have trekked from woji to Uniport in choba..
The distance I have covered trekking in search of work the last two weeks, if I sum together may cross one state into another.
It's not because I like trekking but because I may not have the transport fare and the cost of transportation now is very high.
It's a big burden on struggling Nigerians.
Sometimes you get caught by rain and your clothes get soaked. Hmmmm.
I'm right inside UNICAL now but warming up to make my return.
DoWhatThouWilt: Interesting. So you mean the annoying irritating blabbing gibberish that most people do today isn't actually speaking in tongues? If yes, what would you call that?
Lifeinbits: Myself and my girlfriend have been dating for almost three years that she sometimes stays in my house too. I have always had the intention of traveling abroad but i don't know how, so last year my girlfriend brought the idea of traveling and how she wants to try US study route and i encouraged her to do so. I also supported her so much with my money by helping her to pay her application fee and TOEFL exam. While doing all these, we had a conversation and she told me that if she is able to get a fully funded offer that we will be going together and I will be going with her as dependent. Now my girlfriend has gotten admission but she is yet to apply for visa and she has changed plans. She does not want me to go with her rather she is advising that I should also use the study route ifi want to travel.
Note : we had the intentions of getting married but right now she doesn't want us to get marry.
lol she never get visa nd she don already dey dump you ... my advice just play cool . Just do exactly what she said by applying to school too , then in pregnant her ...
dave601: Of course, I don't want either, but if I have the choice to choose between a masquerade and Xmas, I'll cut Xmas and go for the former for transparency sake...
A Muslim penfriend from Yemen asked me about Xmas recently, see our chats:
"Pal: My bro Pal: Congratulations for Christmas
Me: Oh, thanks bro. Although, I don't worship Xmas idol. It's not of Jesus but men (professing christians)...
It's a wolf in sheep's clothing...
Pal: Aha Pal: Can you clarify it
Me: Ok bro... Xmas is not scriptural—it's originally from a pagan worship of the sun (Nimrod).
It's a religious festival made by religious men: it's not in the Bible. Although, they try to call it the birthday of Jesus...
Jesus came to the world as a man, left his position as the Son of God to shed his blood and die for our sins, because before they usually used the blood of animals. But that could only *cover* sins. But only the blood of Jesus can *wash away* sins completely so that a person can enter God's kingdom if he Repents, believes and obey Jesus' words according to the new testament scriptures before judgement hour.
It was after I had terrible crisis in my life and almost died, and I began to Repent and ask Jesus for mercy that I began to wake up to realize these things... *I used to believe all the christmas Nonsense...*
So, nobody knows the exact date Jesus was born, and he didn't command his disciples to celebrate any such thing. He rather warned against such things that people will do in his name (Matthew chapter 24).
The fact that Xmas has a lot of lies or deceptions in it shows it's from the devil not God. Cos the devil is called the father of liars. Xmas deceives people especially children...
Adeling: Yes. Why do you celebrate Christmas? For some, Christmas is the time to fornicate, take hard drugs, go clubing and do all manner of evil just because they want to "celebrate". The true essence of Christmas has no meaning to a lot of so-called christians.
Some even ask for gifts, as if, they're the reason for Christmas. Christmas's ought to be the time of thanks giving. The time of appreciation to God in purity and holiness. While, some call Christmas Xmass. I've heard people say Christmas is for children. How pathetic!
We've bastardize the true essence of Christmas and turned it to a party-scartter bruhaha. We celebrate Christmas to intimidate , and mock those who we feel don't have as much as we. A lot of folks will be very unhappy just because they couldn't afford chicken, or bag of rice as if that is the reason to celebrate.
Kdsml: Merry xmas every1. Hope you all are having a great night. I nid advice pls
I am married with a kid, my husband traveled out of the country for a greener pasture, I moved out of our rented house and relocated back to my mom's place.
We had sold our properties for 300k he told me he doesn't know how long it will take him to get a job in the new country and I should use the 300k to start up a business so i will be able to take care of our daughter until he will be stable in the new country.
I have decided to start selling foodstuffs in the front of the house and i will use the remaining money for my daughter school fees in January.
My mom asked me to borrow her 120k to pay for my brother school fee and i refused explaining to her why i can't give her the money and she has been giving attitudes and refused to speak to me, i went to the market today i bought xmas clothes for my daughter and a wrapper for my mom she rejected it.
I know she is doing all this for me to give her the money but i will not give it to her no matter what. I don't understand why she is angry when she knows that my husband is not around i should use the money wisely because if i am broke i have no one else to help me.
Am i wrong for refusing to help her?
Please ,please and I said please again ooooooh... Don't give her that money . Case close.
IntelChief: My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.
But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).
As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.
Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.
What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.
Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.
I know her issue.. Just send me her number and everything will be sorted out..
jesusjnr2020: The Only Place A Repentance Prayer Would Never Be Heard By God
It's a place called "hell fire" where all unrepentant sinners go when they die.
It's a place of eternal torment so there's nothing like resting in peace for any soul who finds himself there no matter the amount of prayers offered afterwards.
It's a place filled with regrets and "had I knowns", because by then it's too late for those who finds themselves there to repent, as the time for repentance is past.
However if you're still a sinner but not dead and in hell fire yet, it means you still got hope and a chance to be heard and saved by God.
Therefore wherever you are, even if it be in the belly of a whale right in the middle of an ocean as Jonah was, you can still repent and cry out to God to save you, because your prayer of repentance could still be heard by God, as God is everywhere and you still have the chance of life to be saved by Him.
So what are you still waiting for?
Do you want to get to hell fire first before you learn?
Many inside hell fire wished they were in your shoes and had the chance you still have to repent.
Don't wait til it's too late like they did.
Repent while you still have the time and chance to.
God bless.
There is nothing like hellfire. Stop deceiving people..
fman: Ok na now u remember say you love ur wife to be. No try tell her!!! It will break her down emotionally. After all the whole trust she gave u.. The girl wey carry belle for u, Wetin make you no give her postinor 2? You where supposed to be careful as your marriage is close. But you let your illiterate dick to ruin your plans.

The police has been informed and families are out in search for her, Please help me,help my family find Beulah. If you've seen her or have any information, please kindly contact me."
flyinnizam: Hello Peeps, so after a long time and due to the fact that I travelled, I haven't been able to update you guys but I was sent this photos from home. The Chimpanzee is currently receiving treatment.
So I currently work with one of the top commercial banks and I was posted to one of their branches on the mainland very close to my place of residence. So I incur close to zero cost of transportation, no traffic issue, no stress. And the salary is 100k, no promotion in sight, career growth is uncertain and the role isn't really great for my CV. I'm a teller. Better remain in that your mainland ooooooh.
Last week I did an interview via zoom because of the nature of my work and I got another job, but on the island. It's a private equity firm and the pay is 150k. The cost of transportation for the month is about 20k. There's great career growth and opportunities for self development. However, I fear the stress of going to the island and back daily. Waking up as early as 4am sometimes and coming back home late.
Please advise me on which to choose. I have till Monday to decide.
Those working on the island and staying on the mainland, how do you cope?
YoudeyVexme: She left home since 2006 nobody heard from her... not even when our father died. There was no contact at all.
Surprisingly she came visiting yesterday looking thin and sick with a swollen feet. After much pestering to tell us the families whats the cause of it she said she's HIV positive since 2011.
Now the thing is what's the Implication of living with an hiv patients and if it's you would you accept such situations even if it's your blood to live with you?
Why is it that every time I masturbate, I fall sick? Please, I need logical explanations.
The interesting thing is, even if I have sex everyday for a whole week, I don't fall sick. In fact I get healthier.
At a point, I was servicing three girls together and doing several rounds daily. I never fell sick. But once I try to masturbate, its a combination of fever, sore-throat, diarrhea, fatigue etc.
I've searched Google for answers but webpage is filled with desperate people (especially the westerners) claiming that masturbation is perfectly healthy and there's no scientific proof that it has any harm.
New222: I won't try to sugarcoat it. I'm 25 years old, she's 19. Still in university because of the endless ASUU strike.
I've been having unprotected sex with this particular girl for a long while now. We've been dating for close to two years. I practise the "withdrawal" and "safe" days method. I met her a Virgin too.
Just realised she's pregnant. She started showing a lot of symptoms. Darkened areolas, nausea, breast heaviness, headache, back pain e.t.c.
I asked her to get do a pregnancy strip test and it came positive. Two red lines.
Though it's not what I ever planned for myself, I won't really mind having a child at my age. People will so much insult me, including my family but I'm sure my family will take care of the child.
The issue is the girl. Her family (Deeper Life) are wahala, big wahala. Educated people that behaves as if they never went to school. Now, we detected very early, her first period is supposed to start tomorrow (which I'm sure she'll miss). She's still very young and about to start schooling. I'm sure her dad will disown her (he once sent her away from his home over a slight misunderstanding, refused to let her back in until it was shown she was innocent).
I told her we have two choices, keep the baby or remove it. I am confused too, but I didn't show it. Pls what do you think?
We're really considering ending the pregnancy. Since it's very early, I'm considered getting m...p......r..l. I need medical advice pls. Above all, I don't want to endanger the girl's life. I've read about abortion pills. I don't know how to get them or their price. Or should we keep the baby? Her dad will surely disown her, might later accept her, but it will definitely end her Education. What do you think? Should we get the drugs pls. Or consider another option? Should we keep the baby?
P.S: I know nairaland. I've been here for years, insult are welcomed. I never imaginned I'll ever open a thread like this.
P.S: If you're using withdrawal method and it works, it WILL STILL EVENTUALLY FAIL YOU. I used it for a really long time, now I'm here.
Honestly if am to advice you ..never abort the babe . Telling you from a personal experience am regretting now. The pressure and other troubles will arise but neva abort the baby bcus e get why....
Mrtaye: My Yaris brainbox got damaged by water and have since been malfunctioning and refuse to start... please does anyone have an idea of the market price or if it's salvageable
Thanks so much folks as I anticipate and await your useful responses
sorry for late reply .. chat me up on WhatsApp 08068954005
naptu2: An adventurist, Kunle Adeyanju, who is on a motorcycle journey from London to Lagos, is due to arrive in Lagos today. Adeyanju, who undertook the journey in order to raise funds for the fight against polio, has been riding his motorcycle, a Honda CB 500X, from London since April 19th and he is due to arrive Lagos today.
The journey has been full of adventure and risks and he has documented it on his Twitter feed. Policemen, customs officials and thugs extorted ₦124,000 from him on the Mauritania-Senegal border. His outcry on Twitter attracted the attention of Mauritanian ministers who launched an investigation into the incident. He was initially denied entry into the Ivory Coast because the border between Ivory Coast and Senegal was closed due to Covid-19 restrictions, but the Nigerian Embassy in Ivory Coast helped him get around the problem. He had ridden into Burkina Faso in order to avoid Ivory Coast, but he came back into Ivory Coast after the Nigerian Embassy intervened. He also suffered a flat tyre in Mali, but kind villagers came to his rescue. However, one of the things that has attracted the most attention from his followers on Twitter is the various women that he has met along the way. One of them has promised to come to Lagos to await his arrival.
Mr Adeyanju and his motorcycle crossed from Spain in Europe, to Morocco in Africa via ferry.
Kunle Adeyanju is the president-elect of the Ikoyi Metro district of the Rotary Club and he has been hosted by rotary clubs all along his route. He has also been hosted by biker clubs and the Nigerian diplomatic missions all along his route. He spoke to Twitter staff in Ghana and also received a message from Twitter's CEO, Parag Agrawal.
Mr Adeyanju has previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and planted a Nigerian flag at its summit, he has sky dived and ridden a motorcycle from Ghana to Nigeria. He plans to auction his motorcycle, which he nicknamed Eagle, when he gets to Lagos and he will donate the proceeds to the fight against polio. There are also hints that a book and a Netflix series will be produced to document the journey.
uncleck: A friend gave me the task of getting a Tokumbo Corolla for him and I have been on it for few weeks now. In this assignment I've come to realize that Corolla is now more expensive than the following vehicles:
Toyota Camry Toyota Highlander Acura MDX Nissan Pathfinder Honda Accord Etc
It's just crazy!!! How can I pay over 3 million naira for a 2003 Corolla? How? I've told him I won't continue in the quest unless he makes another choice.
But why are people so in love with Corolla? I know that the car is strong and reliable, but it's definitely not the only strong and reliable car out there. When we were still in school, whether you scored 70% or 100%, it is "A". So if Toyota Corolla is good at 100%, there are still others that are good at 90%; both are good.
In place of Corolla, we still have Honda Civic, Mazda3, Hyundai Elantra, Kia Forte, Nissan Sentra, Camry, accord etc. They may not be as good as Corolla, but they are definitely not too bad. My opinion
Oga I have a good offer for you. I import American used cars . I stay at ladipo lagos. Contact me 08068954005...
I was watching Evaton vs Chelsea match when my negbour called me that my girlfriend mum came to our compound with police, that i should'nt return home for today.
I knew it, that this girl will definately put me in trouble somday, but i could'nt resist the temptation.
She has been given me money and lot of things from her mum shop.
last week, i recieved the sum of N250,000K to my bank account with her name as the depositor, i called her and she told me i shouldn't fear that she was the one who sent it.
I ask her why and she said i should help her to save it. I've already spent N40K from the money which she was aware of.
I'm now getting imformation that her mum gave her money to deposit to their accout, but she instead sent it to me and said she lost the money. Is like she finally told her the truth that she sent me the money, and i don't kno if she told them she has been given me money before.
I don't kno what i will do, my landlord is callin but i don't want to pick.
