The Same People with The Ambition To Rule Nigeria Cant Even Rule A State. Shame.

I Heard theres A Year End/ Halloween Theory to all this. How True?

@FemiD
I Guess U are among the few that have made sense so far on this post.

If U are self employed, wont u need workers in your firm. Or is a one man army thing?

Where is the best place to gain experience before venturing out?

The Institutions of learning where knowledge is aquired have people on payroll too for Pete's Sake.

The comments of some people on this post sound more like a case of "" Sour Grapes'''' ''Bitter Sugar''.

If Everyone Becomes Master, Would There Be Slaves To Employ?

Please everyone is a servant one way or the other even if you are self employed. Please lets be real.
Theres nothing wrong in working in a bank. Even Private Small Scale Businesses need banks.  The experience is worthwhile. A bank Job prepares you for a whole lot of challenges. I worked in a bank as a Marketer/ Business Development Officer for 3 years. Notwithstsnding my first degree in Engineering.

I tell U something I once had the same narrow perspective back then in school. Now  I know better, the Banking Environment is a Challenging environment that gives you the all round training to succeed wherever you find yourself be it as an enterprneur or else where in other sectors.

My advice to fresh graduates: Take up  Bank Job if It comes your way. Two Past MDs of my former bank had their First Degrees in Engineering!!
What can U say? Call them  Failures?

Besides Talking about self employment. How many fresh graduates have the start up capital to go into private business. Even still how many private business can make up to 100Naira Monthly after overheads?
Lets be realistic. If U intend owing your own busines, then the money the bank would pay you would provide the perfect source for start up capital in addition to links\and avenues for business intelligence and opportunities.

You can be All U Can Be.

This Is Just The Beginning. ''The Never Ending Thread".

Lets Make This Thread The Fun Its Suposed To Be and Stop Hating. The Truth Is That Nigerians Are All Uniquely Lovely People. Im Yet To Come Across An Ugly Nigerian.
Perhaps Some Of U Have. But Ugly Is In The Eye Of the Beholder. Takes An Ugly Mind To Recognise one----Though.

candylips:
see them ugly niggaz

U Think They Are? Lets C Yours.

Own Up and Marry Her. She was Good Enough for All the While Wasnt She?

nferyn:
All great monothesitic organised religions have blood on their hands - or more precisely, their very foundations are soaked in blood.
I feel more for the applied pacifism of Budhism and for the pantheistical religions. Although intellectually I can not bring myself to believe in a higher being, it would make life a whole lot easier

U have said it all. Intellectually u can not explain the complexities of the spirit realm because there is a limit to which that wrinkled mass, called brain can decipher things of higher dimensions.

Rightly said. Your Life would be a lot easier if u submit it to the Author of Your Life.

Pls Do. He Loves U OK?

God Is Love.

Love Is the Grand Unifying Infinite Force.

@Letter.

My heart goes out to you. Dont let the incident deny you of the strength to Love again. Please do. Believe it or not you are the winner.

I'm happy that you have taken a Godly outlook to the incident. Iwouldnt call it an ugly but a learning experience.

We will remeber you in our prayers.

I know who has brought you this far is able to c u through. You will find someone whod love and adore because you are a special person. He was just to blind to see. Remain blessed for that is what you truly are.

I hope this advice from TD Jakes wld help

Let it go , by T. D. Jakes


There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.


I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.


When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can't make them stay.
Let them go.


And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead.


You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in go d-bye.


It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me.
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!


If you are holding on to something
that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to , LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ,
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth,
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ,
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge ,
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ,
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents ,
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude,
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better,
LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level in Him,
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship,
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves,
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ,
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to,
LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for 2006!!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left , think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!

And! lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power,
and the Glory,

Its So Comforting to See a Beacon of Light in the midst of so much Heresies.

While I would not want to tottally dismiss the existence of Ghost or better rightly put Familair Spirit. Most people are oblivious of the medical phenomen know as Sleep Paralysis.

Symptoms
The primary symptom of sleep paralysis is partial or complete skeletal muscle paralysis during the hypnopompic or hypnagogic states. In other words, it is the sense of being aware that one is unable to move or speak while falling asleep or waking up. Sleep paralysis may also be accompanied by hypnagogic hallucinations.[1] These hallucinations can be auditory, tactile, and/or visual. If a polysomnography is taken, at least one of the following will be shown: skeletal muscle tone suppression, REM sleep at sleep onset, or dissociated REM sleep. The sleep paralysis persists anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes [1] before the person is able to either return to REM sleep or to become fully awake.

[edit]
Possible causes
Sleep paralysis occurs during REM sleep in order to prevent the body from manifesting the sleeper's dreams. Little is known about the physiology of sleep paralysis. However, some have suggested that it may be linked to post-synaptic inhibition of motor neurons in the pons region of the brain. In particular, low levels of melatonin may stop the depolarization current in the nerves, which prevents the stimulation of the muscles, to prevent the body from enacting the dreamt activity (ie. preventing a sleeper from running when dreaming about running.)

There is also a significant positive correlation between those experiencing this disorder frequently and those suffering from narcolepsy. However, various studies suggest that many or most people will experience sleep paralysis at least once or twice in their lives.

Some report that various factors increase the likelihood of both paralysis and hallucinations. These include: [2]

Sleeping in a supine position (facing upwards)
Irregular sleeping schedules; naps, sleeping in, sleep deprivation
Increased stress
Sudden environmental/lifestyle changes
A lucid dream that immediately precedes the episode. Also conscious induction of sleep paralysis is a common technique to enter a state of lucid dreams.
Artificial sleeping aids or antihistamines


Many cultures have different names and explanations for it.
In Chinese folk culture, sleep paralysis is referred as "gǔi yà chúang" (鬼压床), literally: "Ghost press bed": 鬼: ghost, 压: press, 床: bed. The belief is that a spirit or ghost is sitting or lying on top of the individual while they were sleeping, causing the sleep paralysis. This is thought to be a minor body possession by the forces from the dead, and usually doesn't cause any harm to the victim.

In India, there are two thoughts about sleep paralysis. One of the signs of approaching enlightenment is "witnessing sleep," that is to say, being lucid in sleep — such as with sleep paralysis. It was also believed within the movement that rakshasas (Hindu demons) may assail those making strides towards their own enlightenment and the good of all mankind. The other thought is a female entity, called Mohini (a demoness from the underworld), comes into the night-time world by means of ascending through a deep well. She is enchantingly beautiful, yet simultaneously horrific, unearthly, and deadly. Like her British Isles counterparts, she also seeks a male lover and human genetic material, presumably for the purpose of bearing a hybrid demon/human child.

In Japan, sleep paralysis is referred to as kanashibari (金縛り, literally: "bound or fastened in metal": kana: metal, shibaru: to bind, tie, fasten"

In Newfoundland, as a visit from the "old hag" (Irish: Ag Rog)

In Mexico, as subida del muerto (the dead climbing on top)

In Greek, as mora (in Greek: μώρα), the name cames has a Slavic root.

In Turkish, as karabasan (black buster)
In Hazaragi, as Syahi Zer Kado (pressing ink)

In the Southern United States, people have described it as "The witch riding your back"

In Korea, it is referred as Gawinullim, (가위눌림) literally in English: "To be pressed by Gawi." The meaning of Gawi is unclear but generally known to mean "spirits" or "demons." Another word in Korean "Gawi" is a homonym that means "scissors", which creates confusion for the accurate meaning of the word.
In Indonesia, Javanese peoples called it "tindhihen" (To be seated upon)

In the Philippines, Sleep paralysis is often associated with Bangungot.
In Vietnam, sleep paralysis is known as "ma đè", meaning a ghost or spirit lying on top of or pressing down on the person.
In the West Indies, being "ridden by a duppy"

In medieval times of Europe, attacks of sufferers of sleep paralysis may have given rise to the belief in mara, incubi, succubi, other demons and witchcraft. People in England believed that witches or hags rode on men's chests as they slept, and the feeling of being unable to breathe was attributed to a hag. This is why people who have had very little sleep may be described as looking "hag-ridden".
In traditional Russian belief symptoms reminiscent of sleep paralysis were attributed to the anger of domovoi, the home spirit, punishing people for bad husbandship or betrayal.
According to traditional Hmong beliefs, various states of sleep paralysis are thought to be the processes in which an evil spirit or demon sits down on a person usually in retaliation to wrongdoings. Some Hmong have deemed it as the process of getting 'squashed'.
Some scientists believe that many supposed occurrences of alien abduction, out-of-body travel, and other seemingly paranormal events may actually be due to misinterpreting the sensory effects of sleep paralysis.
Others have argued that sleep paralysis might be the point of separation of the "dream body" from the physical body and out-of-body travel then begins.

Traditional Islamic cultures would usually interpret this as an encounter with a Jinn (or "djinn"; a race of beings, similar to humans which inhabit the earth. The word "jinn" literally means anything which has the connotation of concealment, invisibility, seclusion and remoteness, and is one of the two beings (the other being Human) addressed directly in the Quran. In Islamic text, and scholarship, Jinns are considered beings, which like humans are accountable for their deeds and thus have free will. They are considered to have life and death, society, culture and religion

So develop proper sleeping habits and positions. Ok?

Has Truth Changed over Time? Can you say Love is Old Fashioned. Can you say that Light has Changed?

These are Constants. Virginity is a Priceless Virtue.

Most people lack the Fortitude and Will Power to Keep it and Share it only in Matrimony.

Hence the Changable ""Untimeless"" Submission. That it is Old Fashioned.

Lets Face it We all latently envy and respect Virginity.

The easiest and cheapest way is to bid by executing a form ''A'' at your local bank. Just go to any of the banks where you have an existing account. Go with your offer letter from the school, the letter quoting the tuition, your intl passport and typed letter of request signed by you. Its that easy. In this way your get bank gets to bid and transfer at official rates currently at 127NGN to 1USD approx. You will have to wait longer to open a Domiciliary account and still have to purchase the forex to credit the Dom account. And remember you will have to purchase above the official rates. Please be wary of con men who may try to swindle you by other means, even within the banks.

The form A still remains the fastest, safest and cheapest means for transfer. I recommend the following banks. Springbank, Zenith, GT Bank and Diamond.
They are efficient.

Good Luck.

I read it in Thisday Glitteratti on Sunday the 4th of June that Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy Church is Planing to float an Airline, TV Station & Fast food Outlet.
Infact the reporter gave the Airline's name as Skypower Airlines [ Sounds Familiar] & the Fast Food Outlet as Dicksons. They have also recently bought the TV station Minaj.

Dont Quote me. Quote Thisday.

Dicksons is expected to Rival the Nations Largest fast food outlet- Mr. Biggs. The Vision of Dicksons is to match and later outmatch big names like Mc Donalds worldwide.

Thisday also hinted that the Charismatic Pastor is already expecting delivery of the first batch of Airplanes.

The purchase of Minaj is understandable considering the enormous costs involved in paying for airtime on the platform of other media houses.

What are Your views on Ministry and Business or are they Interwoven?

@Tonn,
Why you r confused is because there's a conflict of interest between your Heart and Your Head.

In Love, You move with Your Heart and Not Your Head. Follow Your Heart and Not Your Head.

It Works.

Iyke-D:
Well, they can but they better be ready
for a regime change - say hello to the army boys.

@Iyke-D
Army Boys? Oh,,, Not Again,

Yes Mr Jagun.
Telekinesis is a real phenomenon. I had a seat mate in primary school with such abilities. He was later withdrawn from school because he was branded a whiz[Witch?]. I really felt it because David was a real cool guy. I owe my broad interest in General Science and Paranormal Activity to him.
Unfortuantely I heard [ Though from the Grapevine] that he passed away not long after withdrawal from School { Name With Held]
May HSRIP. I really miss him because he was the best friend I ever had. He was so intelligent. He sparked my curiosity in nature and the supernatural. Imagine at age 7.

Well, for the Doubting Thomases. How do you explain the intersection between here and beyond that results in visits of people from the other dimension.?

I speak from experience & encounters with a lady in Enugu, shortly after my Graduation back then Nijja.
I used to be a Doubting Thomas because I almost lost it in High School at Zaria. Due to , Vain Philosophies Like , Well, Dont Ask me Which & Y.

But I was Jolted back by My Experience and Deliverance in Enugu.

Talk About Demons. I Bet U there is A war On in Spirit, but Never Mind.

Open your Eyes and Mind. Focus on the Positive Side. The VICTORY so to Say.  

Jesus!! I mean Yashua Son Of The Most High. Who Was Is and Is To Come is as Real as the Men U c on a daily basis.

Except that the Body He Carries is A Ressurection Body.

The problem with most mortals like us is that we seek rational explanations for the Supernatural Occurences. Anything that small wrinkled mass we call our brains can't explain, we wish away. Yet we all know how unreliable it is even under the influence of stress or alcohol or even sleep. Please don't be fooled.

We never realize how dull we are until what may may be considerd Brilliant Theory is proved wrong after a thousand years. We have the anals of history littered with such examples. Dont We? Examples? Dont ask me Find Out!

What may be considered Vogue today may be considered Vain tommorow.

Some think its Fancy to deny the Existence of God. And Declare Atheism because they think its Intellectual and Fancy. Fools!!! Blind Fools!!!.
But Dont Worry The'll Soon See. After all How Long Is Death [Life In This Realm]?

I know its difficult to Convince except otherwise Experienced. But again never mind. Time will Tell.
U C, Most people only realize this when they open their eyes at the other end. Look Brothers!! Everyone has a host that awaits to accompany them when they die, but what matters most is where the Tour Guides would emanate from.

Guides from Heaven or Host of  Hell.
Dont worry U are entitled to the max Benefit u Deserve.

This Has Been,  Is And Would Be Real for All.

But Dont Worry, Time Will Tell.

And I bet U  It's Short For Mortals Like Us
