I remember last Sunday about crossing a topic that discussed how a Christian should read his bible, although this person had a point, I have to expatiate on what he said. First I would like to ask you all the same question I asked my junior siblings last week. Why do you read the bible? And why are you a christain? If someone asks you, an unbeliever perhaps, or if the devil decides to tempt you as he tempted Jesus, and he targets your root in Christianity by asking this simple question, why are you a Christian, what would be your answer? My sister (junior) said, so she could make heaven. my junior brother could not answer this simple question, despite pondering on the matter. Truth be told most Christian have no idea why they're who they are. This is why most easily fall from the faith, or do what they are doing today to shame christain race. Ask yourself. I know why I'm a Christian, and that is what drives me on even when my pairs in live are frolicking in sin, (things we term immoral, and some we term inappropriate in the time frame we wish to do the did). And the same happens to every one that knows why he is a Christian, it would make when Satan uses the things of life, both uprising and down rising of situation to tempt you, you won't waiver. So why are you a christain? Is it so you could escape the damnation that is to come, to make heaven. Or is it because many are doing the same, most of your pairs have the tag Christian on their head. Is that why? When you've answered this question, let's move to the second. Why do you read the scripture (the holy bible)? Jesus told us we should listen to his words and apply them in our life. When you as a christain or an unbeliever reads the Bible, it is the reason why you read the bible that would determine what you get from it. If yours is to read it as a story, well when you're done you would still remain you, if you're the one that wants to read it to find faults, believe me you would find that, because the Bible doesn't come to pretend, it pours out the honest truth that would both hurt a christain and non christain. Remember the bible is a mirror that shows you who you are, there is a portion for everyone in the bible, both the little sinner, the serious christain, the worldly christain, the true christain, the unbeliever. Which ever category you're in the bible has truth to tell you, which aims at making you a better human being, and a child of God. THE BEST WAY TO READ THE BIBLE FOR ALL. Next time you pick a bible to read. Have this objective in heart: I want go be a better person in live, i want to read to understand how to live a good christain life. The above is for all, whether a christain or not, whether you're what they now call aspiring christain or not. Whether you support religion or not. Read it this way. STEPS TO AN EFFECTIVE READING. 1) open the bible deliberately, and having the above in mind read a chapter of your choice, flowingly and uninterruptedly(meaning don't stop to pounder or get distracted). I prefer the new testament, for that deals with the grace and the new method of serving God. You can ask me for expatiation. 2) now you're done, reflect on the passage with this question on mind: what are the things this passage is telling me to do and not do as a Christian. Reflect on it thoroughly, if its the new testament, and Jesus is speaking or taking an action, look at it from his view and ask that question, look at it from the people he is admonishing and ask that same question. 3). Now you know what the passage opened your eyes to. Pray. Pray about the passage and what you want God to do for you on that passage. Now invite him, invite his presence, and anointing. Most especially invite the holy spirit. We know we sin one way or the other. And those of us who have the holy spirit in us, this would cause his voice in us to dull, and in no time he would depart from us. That's why its important to invite him in, every time and ask him to direct you, why doing this, you must be serious and determined to listen to him when he speaks. He is the only way you can be able to observe all the instruction giving to us by God. Because we all know that since the days of Adam man has been begatted in sin. This is why it is imperative for us to allow the spirit to lead us. He does this either by speaking to us, if you've that grace, or via your conscience, instinct and dreams. If we listen we would die to our fleshy overwhelming desire, and become more goodly. Besides no be good people way everybody want now? Plus there is a joy and peace that comes with this obedience that makes us feel complete at that moment. Have you ever felt it? Like you know inside you that you did the right thing. 4) and now is the next important thing, for the soul sake. This is called the quiet time, or meditation. This is when you allow the word of God you read to settle down within you. You keep calm in this moment, close your eyes and ask God to reveal to you his wishes. What you should be doing with your eyes close, is to let the word of God settle in you, then you begin to cross check your life with his word. You branch far and near in his word and your life, notice what he has done for you, and the mistakes you've made. You could play a christain music while you do this to aid your meditation. Please for your tight schedules read your Bible morning and night, and meditate on it, ponder on it on every leisure time you've. And each situation you face, or rather as you face the day, ask yourself what would Christ want me to do in this situation, and surely by his grace, you would grow to be a good christain and a good person. Have a nice day, and may God bless you and your journey as a christain. Amen To the mods. For the sake of building morals and restoring certainty to the human rase, I believe this should be pushed to ftp in other for more people to locate this post and get enlightened. Cc: mods.

It was around 6pm that we finally left Felix house for the club activity. And by that time my phone battery was already at 15% this was due to the numbers of calls I had been receiving from my worried family. After lots of ignoring the call I ended up lying that I went to night vigil in Felix church. And he was the one that helped me form the lie but I knew my father Mr. Emeka would not buy it. If anything he would be trying every means right now to locate Felix house because he knew I don't usually attend the activities in our church talk more of going to someone else's, but na the lie way come up that time. The case just hopeless. As NEPA took light felix gave up on going, I had to consistently persuade him before he finally rummaged his wardrobe for a new outfit. But clearly I could see he was mainly doing this for me now and not for him. All the signs I should have placed into consideration, but I did not because I was blinded by my goal. We boarded a bus to Galax bar. Make una know say I no go write out the real name to avoid putting the club owner in unnecessary problems. |
So, it turned out that my conclusion was misplaced for immediately my nerves calmed down and Cynthia had left, Felix told me who she was: his neighbour, and his own free of charge chef. Plus say she was an aspiring girlfriend. Which one be aspiring girlfriend again? And to show me a proof, there on the small stool was a coated iron plate with cover, (although already opened) with stew and rice plus three meats that was brought by Cynthia for Felix. Chai and immediately the newly made Jocy ship sank. Felix further infuriated me when he said he could give her to me when he was done with her. Can you imagine? Abi em think say I be second best kind of guy? I for even slap am that day if not for the clubbing stuff, which made me remember the clothes. “felix iron the clothes na," “Guy I day hungry, make I chop finish. Come make we chaw oh," I no need wait make em tell me a second time, I grabbed the spoon he handed over and began my assault on the food. When we were done eating and clearing the place, Felix began pressing the clothes. I was happy, and dreamy of how my first clubbing activity would be when the room got dark! I looked up to confirm the nightmare, NEPA had indeed taken the light. Omo C Yawa!!! Another sign. |

For anyone following events in Nigeria today and the Biafra question, some of the things easily heard are Nnamdi Kanu and Radio Biafra was preaching hate but not too many take time to look at the message in detail. One of the legacies of the British which they built into the foundation of Nigeria is “lies and fraud” which they did deliberately. This technique was used by the British to totally destroy the North and then use them to destroy black people as much as they could. Just before you challenge me, ask anyone who tells you Nnamdi Kanu was preaching hate for an example and you hear them. Let us quickly see the British serpent and their modus operandi and before you criticize me in your mental slavery to the British, look at the North who are supposedly a British friend to understand how a “black friend of the British” looks like - poverty, sickness and disease. The Portuguese arrived the Bight of Biafra before the British and were buying slaves as they buy oil today.Many local chiefs opposed the slave trade but the Portuguese bought slaves on willing seller and buyer basis to a large extent until the British arrived. When the British arrived they started killing the chiefs that opposed the slave trade. Also Read: Nigeria faces separatist pressure over oil wealth sharing The British were brutal and their subjugation of blacks and infact Igbos or Eboes did not start today. The slave ports were like the oil terminals today -still in the Bight of Biafra.Within the Bight of Biafra just two venues - Old Calabar on the Cross River and Bonny in the Niger Delta - supplied the great majority of slaves entering British ships. Overall, Igbos from the Bight of Biafra constituted probably the largest single ethnic group of enslaved Africans entering the British Slave Trade.Further reading is available at http:///NTNNsl. You may read some of the treaties signed with the British at https:///U8AcRR The British not supporting Biafra did not start today, and the idea of making it look like a Southeast affair is purely a British engineered fraud using their lackeys. The British will never support Biafra as they are happy with their Hausa/Fulani lackeys and their gullibility in the British subjugation of blacks. The British actually referred to the entire Bight of Biafra as Eboes and it is their ability to brainwash black people that has changed the Igbos to South-East only.You can read the Ethnograpy of the African races 3d ed. 1837 - James Cowles Prichard describing the Eboes up to the boundary with Yarriba(Yoruba) -https:///sXo4Sp It must be noted clearly that the British are all the problems Nigeria has and they use the North to achieve their goal of subjugating black people. Any black person you see violently against Biafra is doing so out of mental slavery. Anywhere you check slavery and the Bight of Biafra, you will see that it was all about the evil of the slave trade and should be preserved. To examine Nnamdi Kanu’s message beyond the propaganda and see if he is saying the truth or not.We must first remember that mental slavery gives you the illusion of freedom, makes you trust, love and defend your oppressor while making an enemy of those who are trying to free you or open your eyes. We all saw that during the civil rights movement in the USA, while Martin Luther was fighting for basic rights for blacks Obasanjo, Gowon and Buhari were on the side of the same oyibos slaughtering fellow blacks for oyibo to have oil-- Is this not a shame? Was it not when the Steven Biko and Nelson Mandela were fighting Apartheid in South Africa that the same Obasanjo, Buhari, Adekunle and Gowon sided with the same oppressor to slaughter fellow blacks? Many Nigerians today hate Nnamdi Kanu simply for trying to open their eyes. The idea of preaching hate follows the British type of lies to justify any action they want to take. From the history given above, the British has been exploiting the Bight of Biafra since they got there be it Slaves, Coal, Palmoil, Lime and today oil and Gas - thats the British game. Also Read: South East traders disown Biafra The Bight of Biafra is so important to the blackman that Obasanjo and other British lackeys should not have been allowed to change it to Bight of Bonny.The Bight of Biafra provided a large number of slaves from Africa more than anywhere else and should have enjoyed preservation. See map at http:///BVG3CS Nnamdi Kanu criticized both the British and Nigeria but Cameron knowing what type of brain black people have, needed Buhari to stop him and that was what he did. The North that is angry with Nnamdi Kanu, cannot boast of anything they have gained from the service of the British, but they are willing to die for the British to have their way. Nigeria was never designed to work and will never work and if it has not worked in 100 years, anyone that thinks it will work should give us a date when he or she feels it will start working. I want to enjoin you the reader to carefully follow the BBC and their reporting of the Biafra protests, the things that happen in Nigeria and how they appear to be siding the North. I have given the history so you know they don't support the North out of love but because they see them as gullible and easier to incite than any other group.Some people had wondered why won't the British support Biafra and they can have the oil, this is impossible because with the North, all they need is give them the bone to get more wives and they kill anyone who tries to ask questions. http://m.news24.com/Nigeria/MyNews24/nnamdi-kanu-beyond-the-propaganda-20151126 Cc: Mynd44 |
The government should just allow Biafra its freedom!!! Are they blind or do they want to give the citizen of Nigeria another reason to cry? |
MOST Nigerians do not remember their country’s civil war. A large majority were born years after the 30-month fight between Nigeria and the breakaway region of Biafra, which ended when the secessionists surrendered in 1970. Yet over the past month independence protests have erupted in cities across the south-east, where the self-declared state once was. Agitators say that this time they will not be beaten. “Biafra is a country to be restored,” declares one of them. “We are determined to fight to the end.” This is a concern for Nigeria’s new government. Secessionist organisations in Biafra have been agitating for years, but analysts reckon the scale of the current marches is unprecedented. Superficially, they were sparked by the arrest of Nnamdi Kanu, the outspoken head of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) movement, and director of Radio Biafra, a pirate station. But the grievances run deep. Nigeria did not exist until British colonialists drew a line around hundreds of fractious ethnic groups dominated by the Igbo in the east, the Yoruba in the west, and the Hausa-Fulani in the north. The country’s regions have jostled for power ever since. Predominantly Igbo protesters have not forgotten that tens of thousands of their people were killed before Biafra unilaterally declared independence in 1967. Between 1m and 3m people died during the war, many as the rebel territory was starved into defeat. In the 45 years since the war ended, they feel they have been blocked from senior political posts, denied public services, and impoverished by a post-war programme that they say auctioned off their houses and returned just £20 ($320, in today’s money) to them. In the presidential election in March most south-easterners voted for the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, who comes from their region. He lost to Muhammadu Buhari, a Muslim from the north. “#NigeriaWillRot”, Mr Kanu’s radio station declared after the results were announced. Politicians have fired up impressionable agitators by claiming that the new government is marginalising Igbos, says Nnamdi Obasi of the International Crisis Group, a think-tank. In the oil-rich Niger Delta, a revolt beginning in the 1990s was focused more on winning power and a share of the spoils than on ideology. Many analysts think the same is true today. So far the demonstrations have been mostly peaceful, though locals say shops have been looted and tyres set ablaze, and protesters claim police have killed several of their crew (the police deny those charges). That could change if Mr Kanu is killed or mistreated by Nigerian security agents. Boko Haram sets an unhappy precedent. The Islamist movement became a full-scale insurgency only after its leader, Mohammed Yusuf, was shot in police detention in 2009. Another worry is the impending end of a six-year-old amnesty for militants from the Delta. They could return to violence if it is not extended next month, spelling wider instability in the region. In charts: Explore Nigeria’s economy and politics Mr Kanu is not averse to playing with fire. He called for arms earlier this year and an unverified Twitter page in his name is full of extreme rhetoric and images of mutilated Biafrans, which Mr Obasi says often seem to be fake. Last week, his radio station inferred from a Boko Haram bombing that the “killing of Igbos in large scale has already commenced”. Many of his followers speak with an equally intimidating tone. “Give us Biafra or we all die getting Biafra,” one of them proclaims. The real concern is not alleged government brutality but poor governance. Despite huge oil wealth, Nigerians were twice as likely to be poor in 2010 as they were in 1980. Frustration is not confined to the south-east. Poverty and joblessness have driven conscripts into the arms of Boko Haram terrorists, who want to establish a caliphate in the mostly Muslim north-east. Insurgents battled for self-rule in the Delta until they were paid to stop. Over the years, too many of Nigeria’s politicians have been too busy filling their pockets to think of solving the common underlying problems, ignoring them until they got out of control.

immediately Felix brought out his iron from his wardrobe together with his outfit to begin the work of pressing, person come nock on the door oh. And at that time I was angry toward whoever the knocker was. But by the time Felix pulled the door open to reveal Cynthia, a reddish skin girl, who looked like she was crafted out from the quality beauty itself, I lost my conscious self having been projected to an imaginatory scene of her and I in a field of yellow and green grasses, with the sun reflecting so bright that it made her skin glow, like the goddess she was. She wore a silvery sexy gown, that showed her cleavage and ample amount of her thigh through the v cut. And she had on her a star shaped flower of white and green, and to crown it all up she was smiling at me from far calling me to come catch. Oh my God she had sexy dimples on her. “Jesus!” na the sharp pain way resonate for my left cheek plus the wave way travel into my eardrum na em cause me to shout like this. While I was dreaming I never knew Felix had been making an introduction of who she is and who I'm to the both of us. Though I was embarrassed for being caught, and also angry for what Felix did, the smile, abi na grin, no na laugh.I dunno, what I know is she did one of that and fluttered her eyes flirtatiously, while her cheek grew red. Oh My God she had dimples also! All this caused my hormones to run like gas, and my heart to float. oh baba God thank you! I don find my own gf! Finally! |
He pulled the door open for me to enter, “Go where with rumpled clothes?" I could see clearly from Felix face what his answer implied before I even asked for clarification, “the party na, you no for go?" Inside Felix house was miraculously tidy which was contradictory to the thoughts of him I had allowed to settle in my mind. Although the place was cramped, being a multi purpose room and all. “if na you, you go like that?" At that moment you need to have witness how grateful I was that NEPA brought light in Felix place or all my efforts through the day in other to go to a club would have been a waste. But right now, I wish there was no light in Felix place that day, till I had taken defeat and opt to leave, although God gave me another sign but guys I was so blind to see it. |
Around 4pm I and felix finally arrived his lodge, a 45minutes ride it was. Unlike what I was expecting he was living in just one room! I know I know, I was surprised too. I mean person go think say with the way he flirts around and kit up he must be living in something more imaginable, a self contain for starters. Not this. “Come in, it seems there is light and that's good for me, at least I would finally iron my clothes for tonight activity," Felix pulled the door open half way and then pressed his light switch to confirm. My readers I know no when my mouth went agape as I watched the back of this dude's head, so he is this unprepared, “Nawa for you Felix oh, so u for come go the place with rumpled clothes eh?" |
Ultimatesammie:that was when he was a guy who did not give a damn, but when he did, he tried hus best to save almost died for the course, and just so she could see how much he truly felt he made himself vulnerable for her. You know on a normal day bonny dies bit stan@d a chance against him. Daemon was even the worse |
Well 375 views means I ain't reading alone... So my silent readers lets play a game. Can any of you guess what happened and where it happened that landed him in a police cell as bro Joshua mistakenly stated in his write up? ![]() |
My brothers, that day as soon as I left the house na one annoying thing to another that came colliding with me. From the annoying driver way forget to buy fuel yesterday and only realised this after wasting 10minutes of my time, to the public transport way I enter as alternative: the oversized passengers way God just allow me Make I comday in the middle of, passengers way suppose enter truck instead, to the driver way no day gree do gra gra like other drivers, to the conductor, even the main road follow cast stone for my head with em yeye hold up . Chai God why! Why! You know its funny how we blame God of our misfortune, and then we forget to thank him for our fortune. Or how we easily thank God for helping us do awful things, which he didn't, but we also forget to be grateful when he helps us achieve good things. May God forgive us. By the time I finally reach school that day 8am done nark finish, and as I enter lecture hall na so all my course mate day look me with their new found humongous eyes. Abi dem turn to owl with em big iris? Chai see wetin late day cause. As I located the head of Felix in the hall, sitting among the students in the front row, the rest of the day floated on with, ecstasy as my loyal companion. I was sure as hell that everything I suffered earlier that day was gonna be worth it! Perhaps I was short sighted. The rest of the day drove past like a speeding bullet and I could hardly register much going on, aside the time Mr festus wale something asked me if I knew the steps involved in calculate infinite differential something, and although I sabi something with high gp of 3.7 I know quickly grasp wetin e bin day ask so you need to imagine how abashed I day wen my mates just day laugh me like craze people and Mr Festus begin day shake head left and right like robot way lose control. Chrim! Notin spoil shall, my evening go better pass their own. I'm sure of it! Gosh it was around 3pm when I and Felix finally headed off, our lectures had officially ended an hour ago but as we day among our department popular we gaz to maintain our stats by hanging around with our class, and indulging in selfies, plus eateries. Common! It feels good, still feels good as I day police station now. no no no na lie! Oga officer na lie abeg |
Freemanan:still on going? Thought it ended with the battle between the leader of the emnine coven turned herrectics cursed bonny and Elena before he got killed by daemon? |
I quickly texted her “ehe ma pickin" with a smirk emoticon just to get on her nerves. The thunder way person day call a knock on the door strike my heart with fear and I almost jump, but as a big boy way in few hours go dey swim in a river of sweet alluring and radient fermenine bodies I Gaz to calm down. ”who? Is it morning devotion?" “Yes! Come to the sitting room now," the voice was that of Nkechi my big sister. Shey una no how God dey use style give us sign say wetin we wan do no good and we go say na ordinary mistake, and continue? I believe the same thing happened to me, how did I ever forget that I never dress this early for school? This almost ruined my plan for me. As soon as Mumsy and Pupsy saw me, they thought I must be an alien invading their home and their son had travelled to Jupiter. When I insisted it was me, omo you need to see the 120 Q&A I was obliged to answer just to calm down their suspicion. But finally finally just like superman and those other hero's, I came out victorious. Now it was time to face destiny, Phyno Iji oku. And fine babes here I come! |
Me its originals. I love vampire diary too, but in originals mosttimes the situations theyfacd is totally impossible, and the way they get saved? Almost impossible and risky. But in vd na... Sometimes the way they escape is just easy, and the time they waste in taken answers... And freemanan I hate Bunnys character, at the end. |

tpiadotcom:and were was it written in the bible? |
DoubleDeeX:talking to that man or woman is a waste of your anointing, all you can do is to pray if he is a seed of God for the lord jesus to find him, just as he found paul, just as he found Mathew. But if he be not, he can't prevail againsy the word of God. For jesus said i shall build my church on this rock and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. |
DoubleDeeX:i percieve you a teacher of the word of God, or one who deeply read and read and follow up the directions of God through the scriptures and your conscience |
DoubleDeeX:truth |
chuna1985:i just cant understand why you choose to be blinded to the truth. So then youre an animal? Who gave you that breath you breath? Why hasn't science been able to proof there is no God and absolutely proof that Humans are animals and not gods. Remember all things were created by God, no matter which theory you chose as your way of human origin God still created them all. Youre the one in need of an awakening. This dialogue is over. I pray God shows you the light, for I fear the outcome of the path you thread. In Jesus name, Amen |
