This update is only for those who wants to clean up. And it's for only those in 'dating' I will think of solution for other categories of yahoo later. I have started an NGO and we are running a campaign called "whiteyahooyahoo" it is to educate yahoo boys that the effort they put in crime if put in legit business they will still be very rich. As a software developer I want a build an app for "Romance as a service" all yahoo boys into dating scam should register and update their profile, no effect can arrest you because you're now legally offering romance as a service and getting paid, and what they called "impersonation" will be called "persona" meaning you can switch persona as your clients demands it. You can be a soldier, a female, male... anything. After all a girl at silicon valley built an AI chat app which keeps millions of users company. Ours is even better because it will be real humans! Mod take this this to FP let me see how much support we can get, before setting up a team

Using pidgin alone which is an inferior version of a language means that whatever crap you sing won't have a universal appeal.

Tinubu's life has been magical, to say the least. There are too many questionable gaps but somehow he managed to fill them up anyways, escaping ambushes laid for him and stepping on stones thrown at him to rise to keep moving forth.

From an anonymous background, he rose to build a very expansive political structure as well as enviable goodwill across Nigeria. From poverty-stricken background, he took advantage of both legitimate and illegitimate opportunities to become wealthy.

Today, he is the president and the face of Nigeria following a controversial election in which his opponents chose to divide themselves into units rather unite as a whole.

Look, if he survives the ongoing legal onslaughts both home and abroad, I will move a motion for a bunch of sweet-smelling rose flower to be given to him because omor, what a ride it would been for him.

Truly, some mothers do have them.

I would have shared the same sentiments if not that he is a criminal

Can you share what exactly is wrong with any of the above statements to warrant an attack on a man simply because you think he does not share your political choice?
I don't like tinubu or anything APC for that matter but only an ignorant and bitter soul will expect a Pastor who is truly called by God to not speak in this manner.
May i ask in the converse if Bakare is your acceptable model of who should be a pastor since he recently criticized Tinubu's govt?
Funny enough, no pastor of note from Eastern extraction have ever come out to denounce any govt yet I've never seen any of you call them out or rain invective on them.
You should be aware that you're further alienating your franchise if you think you have the moral barometer to decide who is in the right or wrong on public issues and the appropriate opprobrium to unleash on such. You have lost an election. It's not the end of the world. Tinubu's party lost in 2007 and 2011. You should double down on being a viable opposition instead of attacking ordinary Nigerians who are not even politicians for praying for, or offering support for their constitutionally recognised leaders. Such support can be fluid and even change if well managed but I doubt you'll retain any goodwill after you've abused every notable Nigerian to stupor.
Be guided forthwith

I told myself that I wont be commenting on any political issue(because primarily from what I studied in my school library years ago, politics is just people manipulation for self interest) here on Nairaland but this is too irresistable! The OP only disagrees with him, my 4th favorite person on earth is Bishop Papa Oyedepo, but I do not totally agree with him on his position in his most spread message on tithe. Just as you claim Kumuyi have choice/ opinion so is the OP. I was listening to Jewish rabbi sometime ago,(The Jewish religion is the origin of both christianity and Islam) he said the meaning of "Isreal" to the Jewish(Isrealites) people is "to contend with God" meaning that the Jewish people will continue questioning God's "authority" while studying the Talmud===I love this people's mentality===. So who is your so called African mog that you cannot have a different opinion from his? mind you; your MOG is practicing a religion which originated from the Jewish tradition/religion.
It disgusts me alot when people make this political issues tribal attack or an attack on the person of Obi(EVEN IF i DONT CONSIDER HIM A MESSIAH BUT he is a thousand times better) some of us had him as a prefered choice long before he declared his ambition, Iam not Igbo, I dont do christian religion, Iam irreligious. 2023 election is not a case of either/or; it is a critical point to choose progress or servitude. Many of you travel abroad and you enjoy fairness and equity even as immigrant or visitor, you admire it so much, but you return home where you meet nepotism, lawlessness and worst of all servitude( In case you dont know, you are a slave to the political class) it is not about tribe, person or a movement, the word 'obidient' is just a normenclature it is not solely about Peter Obi. Soon as Nigerians understand that the people can take the power from the political class then liberation will start, many are still fooled to believe it is impossible, that is why they go with "join them if you cant beat them" even if they are criminals. The OP stated undisputable facts! and I respect him for that.

Digital marketers and those who promote business via bulk SMS and whatsapp. How do you handle such questions as:
Who are you please? where did you get my number? you are a scammer? etc. Even when you clearly state where you got their number, give out your own details with verifiable pics and office addresses, some bitter persons will still call you names, as if they don't read at all!

I have over 70,000 contacts with email and phone numbers, so I use google contact to add 2500 contacts to my phone so that I can reach potential client via whatsapp, as whatsapp will reveal my true identity office address and other details, but the kind of insult I am receiving, even from people with MSC and Phd, I had to say maybe I am doing something very wrong.

Mods abeg help me push am go front page. It will be help others too.

Only fools will believe this fake thread. Even a policeman won't talk like this. No Nigerian soldier will write like that. Op is talking to himself with one of his WhatsApp lines. My cousin is a soldier and serving at Maiduguri fighting insurgency. Their morals are high and they're even eager to go to Niger to show them what they're made of.

Of a truth, soldiers are struggling in the North due to politicised fight against terrorism. But tasking them against Niger would make them better equipped because any mistake there could be grave danger here.

Please, stop comparing fight against terrorism with war. It's like comparing US military to Taliban fighters because they let the Talibans take over Afghanistan and unseat their democratic government under the US military watch.

Nigerian soldier can't talk what this man faked here to deceive the gullibles. At Kebbi state, soldiers were ambushed and killed but each of those deaths angers the soldiers that they also plan their own retaliation and not to morn and plan to escape from Nigeria calling his duty a mare job.

You don't know how soldiers feel for being soldiers. You're comparing them to a police job.

Oga go and read about the vietnamese war, US invaded with both air and naval advantage yet they loss the war, you can kill as many people as possible and still lose the war, that is the case with ECOWAS and Niger, win the battles but will definitely lose the war

My previous post about a big school that called me for an Interview, Well I actually went there, did my test and when I was asked to come in for Micro Teaching where I was faced with Staff of the school and maybe the principal, I flopped and panicked heavily.

The fear was well written all over my face and I was just saying rubbish despite choosing to teach "Matter" as my topic. Immediately I came in and they asked for my name and few other questions before the micro teaching, my voice was already shaking as if I have never taught before in my life(they noticed and told me to calm down).

Although I am an introvert, I hardly face audience talk more of strangers and the quest to ensure that I performed, those things enveloped/swallowed me completely. I have never taught in such a big school before, I think my qualification was what made them approach me in the first place.

One of the staff kept throwing questions at me, I mean confusing questions just to know my depth of knowledge in the particular topic, and guess what? I flopped totally and became disorganized. But luckily, there was a man among the panel who gave me the option of coming back and prove myself that I am a qualified teacher as stated in my CV or I should take another topic I'm more comfortable with. So, I opted to leave and come back so I can regain my confidence.

Now, I have been given enough time to go and make research and convince them on Monday.
How do I conquer that fear and what are the things they look so I can prepare hard.
Thank you.

Because of people like I would have to return to organizing public speaking training

Pastoshizzy:
KOBO's argument is mostly baseless with a wiff of disdain. He keeps repeating the same sh×t every Sunday. He has an axe to grind with the Church. Maybe one Daddy G.O. don woze am slap before.

Sorry, I didn't read this clearly earlier, that guy arguements is truly BASELESS, if had known I wont even respond to him

Kobojunkie:
It seems you have forgotten what your original claim was. Let me remind you. This is different from what Jesus Christ and even Isaiah said. So, how can you continue to assert that I am in agreement with your points?

Yes I still maintain my position, and because each time you try to counter it you endup contradicting yourself, go through the threads

Kobojunkie:
1. Righteousness is not same as Holiness and. Holiness is not same as Righteousness. Jesus Christ made this much very clear in His teachings. So, please stop trying them seem the same. "Without Holiness, you cannot see God," does not mean the same as saying, "Holiness is all you need to see God."

2. Hierarchy? Again, Jesus Christ said , "Seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) and then God's Righteousness, in order that all these things --- the blessings and rewards of the Kingdom of God --- shall be added onto you." You claimed Righteousness should come before Holiness on the supposed Hierarchy and when asked how come, you take to beating about the bushes. Why?

You keep agreeing to my points so this debate is needless.

Pastoshizzy:
This guy's argument is mostly baseless with a wiff of disdain. He keeps repeating the same sh×t every Sunday. He has an axe to grind with the Church. Maybe one Daddy G.O. don woze am slap before.

Are you referring to the other guy? because I had never made religious post, and this is the first religious post I am commenting on NL

Kobojunkie:
1. This topic isn't about repentance as OP already pretends his audience is of those who are already born-again. Not sure why you are having a hard time comprehending at least that.

2. To seek the Kingdom of God is to become a Law abiding citizen of the Kingdom whose Law is the Gospel .I.e. Holiness without which no man shall see God. That is why I keep repeating that. Also, there are approximately 100 teachings and commandments contained in the Gospel as taught by Jesus Christ. Hyperfocusing on just one command of teaching will not grant any man holiness much the same way you cannot become a Law abiding citizen of any country out there by simply focusing on obeying just a few out of all the laws.

3. I am sorry bit your response does not compute. Isaiah said that the sins committed by each man renderer his works a filthy abomination to God. Essentially God wants your works but if you are a slave to sin, your works are an abomination. So wouldn't commonsense be to first rid yourself of the bondage to sin --‐ Holiness ---, before you offer your works to God? Or are you under some belief that God is pleased by works done in vain aka abominations?

This is the reason I do not engage in religious debates most of the time we agree on same thing yet keep the needless debate on, from your points above it is obvious, we are only argueing over choice of words "righteuosness" vs "holiness" I want you to agree that there is a hierachy to these things from a sinful person, to repentance, to 2 Peter 1:5-7 5 For this very reason, make every effort(meaning you conciously choose to do it, not by any grace or divine power) to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control(completing the righteousness); and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness(divine comes in here); 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love(perfecting Holiness).

Kobojunkie:
1. I don't do interpretations since the book I read from merely requires comprehension of that which is written as is. So, please, try to stay focused on the discussion..

2. The Baptism of repentance which was preached by John and continued by Jesus Christ who proclaimed all must be born-again has little to nothing to do with this discussion as these are steps towards the end goals of the major goals which as Jesus Christ said are Holiness and Righteousness.

Back to the discussion... you claimed God first approved one Righteous before one can then achieve Holiness. Now my questions to you on that.

▪︎So what you are saying is that when Jesus Christ said to seek first the Kingdom of God(Holiness) followed by God's righteousness...Jesus Christ got the order wrong?

▪︎And when in Isaiah 64 vs 1 - 6, Isaiah explained that the sins of the people tainted their works rendering them an abomination to God, Isaiah didn't really mean that the people had to get rid of their sins --- achieve Holiness first---- in order that they no longer had sins to render their works a filthy abomination to God?

I am shocked that any christian will make trivial the topic of repentance, which is very fundamental, this is the problem I have with modern pentecostal movement, if you dont repent of your old ways, where then do you want to start from? I dont understand why you keep inserting "holiness" into Math 6:33 (dont add to the word...)but even at then what do you think the kingdom of God is? an extension of God's kingdom here on earth, if I dont treat my fellow man "right" how can I even please God (holy)? And Isaiah verses you quoted did not nullifies man's effort it only shows the magnificience of God, just as Christ explained in Math 5. WARNING: when we make trivial the knowledge of repentance/righteousness we make people wallow in sin hoping that God by his GRACE will make them holy...Modern churches are already progressing in this error. (for us to slow down this arguement let us use our common sense and concience lets leave the bible out)

Kobojunkie:
Interesting claim?

When it comes to interpretation of ancient languages, aramaic, hebrew etc to English(mind you, u are African trying to understand a jewish culture using European language English). What I am saying is if we let this arguement go that way, we wont finish it anytime soon. But to answer your question, pls read Math 3:1-2 John started preaching repentance Later Jesus in Math 4:17. You cannot be holy if you do not first repent of your evil ways and start doing the right things, before a divine touch of holiness

For me, I have come to conclusion that Nigerian middle-class are the problems of Nigeria. This means those people are useless-ing our productivity and Naira to purchase other currency to pay school fees, japa, buy foreign goods and the rest. Naira fall is a result of failed Middle-class development.


The Consul-General of Ghana in Lagos, Samata Bukari, says Nigeria has played significant roles in the 75 years of University of Ghana delivering education and research.

Bukari, who said this during a news conference on Monday at the Consulate General of Ghana in Lagos held alongside its ongoing students’ recruitment drive, stressed that Nigeria had contributed to the achievements of the University of Ghana.

She said that Ghana and Nigeria had been in education cooperation for years, and there was need for continuity.

“The University of Ghana is celebrating its 75th anniversary, and we are using this opportunity to acknowledge the role Nigeria and Nigerian students have played in our existence.

“I think my choice of the University is worth it. The environment is okay, the people are friendly and I have a well-grounded knowledge of my discipline,” she stressed.

Meanwhile, Mr. Emmanuel Dankwa, the Recruitment Officer, University of Ghana, said that despite the decreased admission numbers in the past five years, Nigerians constituted 60 per cent of students in the university.

Dankwa noted that Nigerian students had been outstanding, adding that the overall best medical student a few years back had been a Nigerian.

According to him, there are also Nigerian lecturers in the University, while many alumni are working in reputable companies.

Dankwa stressed that the institution was generally impressed with Nigerian students.

Guy I want to be your friend send me an email thelaw111@gmail.com NIGERIAN MIDDLE CLASS ARE THE PROBLEM IN THIS COUNTRY many of the poor are either too powerless to fight the government or do not have any knowledge how to go about it, but you see the middle class, they felt like life is better for them, not knowing that one bad government policy can wipe them out! one bad hospital, road, poor flight maintenance etc. Most of the poor have little to nothing to loose, but who use FX, buy fuel for cars, do businesses of course we do so called 'middle class'

Kobojunkie:
Holiness refers to the living of one's life in direct and absolute compliance with God's Law --- His teachings and commandments.

God's righteousness, which only God is able to approve one of, refers to the doing of works of righteousness after one has first attained Holiness..

No righteousness is prerequiste to holiness and not the other way round

Kingsmeal:
Sometimes I wonder the kind of archiac system we practice in this country.

Everything in this country seems to be in the analogue way, despite the fact that technology is helping out this time.


Just few days ago, I read an online article that FG has released a sum of N5bn to States for subsidy Palliative and I wonder why doing so.

According to statistics, Nigeria's population is around 220m, then why is the FG giving N5bn to each state to use for palliative?


Why can't the FG pay in Nigerians directly into their accounts to support them in this trying time?


N500bn was already ear marked and approved for this subsidy removal Palliative.


This will even help to bring alot of people out of poverty and also support those doing businesses or another form of survival job.


Why is Federal Government giving states these money, knowing fully well that nothing will get to the populace.

Ordinary Covid 19 Palliative, we saw how all the states hid the pallatives, including traditional rulers, while the masses were crying of hunger.


The BVN can even be used to make these payments through the CBN directly to the accounts of every NIGERIAN. And even those that do not have accounts can even use the opportunity to create one and get their BVNs too.

Why is the NIGERIAN govt still practicing archaic administration? Why Why Why?

These said pallatives will be looted, some will be shared to party faithfuls and loyalists in all these states and not even the actual populace. Some will even use the pallatives for election Campaign and thereby making look like they're doing the people a favour.


Nigeria Why? Why are you still in this mudane practice?

Many Nigerians do not understand how these things work, Government work like drug cartels, that 5bn sent to states is actually for the governors not for the people, the governor will now decide if he will share it to the people or use it to settle his croonies. The ultimate goal is to keep the people in total submission, by hook or by crook nobody cares about u!

cutecommend:
One major reason why many christians find it difficult to be holy is because they have soft spot for sin or worldliness.

But the major reason why many christians are not holy is because they do not have passion or hunger or thirst for holiness. Imagine how you have passion for football or passion for betting or passion for your career. Imagine the addictions you have to certain things..Now imagine having passion and hunger to be holy.

I tell you, if you spend 2 months of desperation, praying hard and trying to be holy, God will see that you are truly interested in being holy, and He will give you grace and ease to live a holy life. Matthew 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled".

God gives holiness grace to those who truly needed it!

Stop confusing yourself, Holiness is divine, meaning it can only come from God, you meant 'righteousness' which is simply doing the 'right' things always.

I've been working in an Asian company since 2017, then my salary was 70k, but it fluctuates up and down currently I've been at 100k for the past 3 years or so.

Recently I was transferred to a village with no electricity and the salary remains the same.

I'm an engineering graduate from one of the top federal Universities in the south west.

Nevertheless, I've come to a stage where I'm considering business, given my set-aside capital of about 1million naira, and because of the Sunday to Sunday work schedule, I am considering quitting, inorder to start either a barbing shop, POS, or bike business .

Do you think it is a good idea?

The problem I have with many Nigerians is that they talk about business as if capital is all you need, guy; you have been an employee for years you will most likely fail in business, first learn how to do business before quiting, hire a consultant to guide you properly. Or join us later when we launch our E2E scheme(employee to employer transition scheme), I am a licensed business developer

Ever since a loan money to pay my final year school fees, I haven't been myself again. I regret that decision I made And now I have defaulted and this people have disturbing me endlessly with calls and threats.

I really don't know how I am going to pay this loan but if by God's grace ,I manage to pay this loan, there's nothing in this world that will ever make me get close to loan app again in this life.
If you can avoid this people please do.
I totally lose peace of mind. God help me.

you didn't waste the money, just get a means of income and start paying Small Small

Don't die before your time! She can buy your 15th generation all combined. She got married recently in a very elaborated wedding, husband jilted her to go back to side chick. She is suffering from depression. You are poor, doesn't mean everyone is. Go and find out about her wealth. She has a household business. Go and find out how much those women you see outside pay to look gorgeous. You will be shocked.

Her problem is personal but not Political! Nobody should ask me any foolish question again on why her wealth could not buy happiness. Can poverty buy happiness? People are more emotional than one another. She's an emotional person, simple!

in as much as I didn't support the other idiot, why is it that Nigerians always use financial status to insult people, if life is all about money that woman wouldn't be thinking suicide, also the guy you just insulted may consider suicide because he doesn't have money, life is dynamic let's respect and love people

EclecticBen:
The Nigeria society is so plagued and bedeviled by inequalities & lack of social welfare. It becomes a survival of the fittest. Seeking loan is not a crime. So, do you think forming an association to protect members interest would be a good call and a welcome development ? We will protect members interest from torment and also seek palliatives for members. Let us hear 🙉 our views about this............

Over a year ago me and my team created an "loan insurance app", which helps to prevent online lenders from embarassment, how it works is that before taking a loan from loan apps, you will get our insurance cover, if you can't pay, we will pay for you, so no need for any loan apps to be embarassing you, we couldn't raise initial investment, and the loan apps were not cooperating we could only talk to some rude staff we could not reach their executives. But I still have the source code and my team are on ground, if we can get 1000 each from everybody we will cover the CBN deposit and use the rest for advert, as for the technology we have it already. I will appreciate if the mods can excalate this to the front page.
I am a licensed Business Developer and a software developer as well, its only capital that is showing us shege!

While we were running the first add we had many people who were interested but many of them were already servicing loans, so we had to introduce "loan consolidation" to the service...there is huge market but significant investment is required.
