Smartfeek:Thanks again, smartfeek. I will check it up. |
henryhemon:Okay, you made valid points there. I expected more reactions to my frustration from Nairalanders, but I didn't see that happening, maybe they are cozy on status quo, or feel keeping quiet is the better choice. |
Smartfeek:Please send me too, my email is jonnogidi@yahoo.com. Thanks in advance. |
mackhunter77:Thanks, this fuels my faith, and keeping hope alive. |
Sometimes I wonder if people are being taken by all these advertisements. I'm feeling a lot of discrimination could be going on particularly the foreign missions, NGOs jobs. They have been countless applications made that even when you feel confident about the application, you still get disappointed as no call or invitation is received after so much waiting. I just don't know what is going on really. I need people to come out and share experiences, to help my curiosity. I need information how these vacancies are filled up. What else is being used as criteria for selection other than the requirements or required competencies that the positions seek. And because of the large or deluge of applications received they have stated that they won't make any feed back as to why one was not selected or invited, and one can not make query trail on them. |
crazydove:Sometimes I wonder about this too. But I think the intention is to make it difficult for everybody to qualify for the position. Particularly the foreign missions, NGOs, and related advertisements. I'm feeling a lot of discrimination is going on. They have been countless applications made that even when you feel confident about the application, you still get disappointed as no call or invitation is received after so much waiting. I just know what is going on really. I need people to come out and share experiences, to help my curiosity. |
ukorsimplicity:What has songs of Solomon got to do with secular music. Don't get me misquoted, or read me out of context. So the fact that king Solomon had 1000 wives and 700 concubines is right for us to do? In this era of grace and life of Jesus as an example? No please. Songs of Solomon was typically his life of romance in display and it's peculiar to him, not to be used as a pedestal for doing worldly things. |
To me the OP is just lazy and does not want to do anything that he will be blamed for if it's wrong. Yes, our God is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. But He is principled, or He has principles. Know clearly that there is life and death for all actions done well and bad respectively. You have a conscience and free will to do what U like. Choose then and stop blaming God that He knew U will sin, and He didn't stop U from the act. There is a price for everything. Life is not that somebody should live for U, as if U are just a figure without any contribution. To him that know what is good and fail to do, it is sin. Stop attributing your laziness to God to keep U from sinning. But God knows our frailty, and that we are from dust, and he has opened the channel for repentance for us when we fail him, and he will graciously pardon. He does not want any to go to hell. Hell was created for the devil and his co labourers. If you don't do the right things, hell is waiting for you. Don't blame God please. Thanks. |
iliyande:I can't thank you enough for this piece. It's just the message for our time. Our children get carried away easily with these songs. You will be shocked that your daughter, a chorister in church marking her birthday, and her friends that come around, with her singing and dancing skelewu, davido, and others. I then ask, what's the difference between them. May God be God, and the Devil, the liar. |
mrkayusfit:Was that not the same pot hole that Super eagles player ogezi ran into after his traditional marriage in Benin? On his way back to Lagos on Friday preparing for the wedding. It must have been there for long then. |
Wet surface, probably less visibility due to the rain. I remember the peace mass transport bus. Was it also in June? This June death has become uncountable. God please keep me safe from any demonic roads and vehicles in Jesus name. Amen! |
Wao! I did that and I got #5,000 credit, valid 7 days. Can I use it to buy data from MTN? |
catlova2:A bad christian indeed, need I talk more? A man that just returned from the night vigil can't be used by the devil like this, except he is the devil himself in sheep clothing. |
ikarm17:You didn't get my drift well. I'm not against Yoruba lyrics actually, even 2baba that I praised sang a song in Yoruba. I think he's much better only in Yoruba lyrics laced songs. Femi Kuti and Asa have songs that are competitive in international stage that beat Wizzy down any time. I'm not hating ur cross examination either. Thanks. |
Opportunity without preparations end in a jeopardy. He could have become an instant success, if he was a better personality and educated. His English can't qualify him as another person image maker to me. Wearing suits, Dapper, CNN coverage etc without the supporting quality is zero. |
theshaderoom:You deserve an award for this reply. Kingsley is a mere child when it comes to music my brother. In fact I hate what he put there. Such opinion is annoying. |
kingsley939:Rubbish, I guess you are under 25 years. A child analysis I would say. I just don't want to enter into argument with U. So it's all these that make U think so. Let him win the US Grammy award then. Singing shade songs, lewd lyrics and begging American touts musicians for collabo take him anywhere. Imagine someone who barely sings without Yoruba lyrics, neither a rapper or pop/R&B. Does he think his Yoruba and repeatitive choruses can make him competitive in the international stage? I still respect 2baba in Nigeria than any damn person in Nigeria music space. I even think Bank W is far better than that boy. |

Let the argument of she being Edo or Yoruba end by this my analysis: Ogunsuyi is typically a Yoruba name, but it can be borne by any person depending on what the parents choose even when the parents may not be Yoruba. Okay? Then the fact that your roots is Yoruba but you resides in Edo state does not make U Edo also. But the surname of a person matters alot to his origin anyway. Now the Akoko-Edo area up to owan axis are mostly migrants of Yoruba, the same can be said of some parts of Kogi state - Okun etc, and they are neighbours to Akoko LGA of Ondo State. Finally, you are from where your state of origin in Nigeria says, not where your roots is from. So if you are Akoko-Edo by origin, you are from Edo state. Therefore the lady is most likely Edo. |
Well done to U, ammyluv, mhizsimi, maxineng, and all others doing these posts for job seekers. It's a great sacrifice U are doing and it's a motivation for hope for those seeking for Abuja area jobs. I learnt U all are job seekers as well. Be encouraged, for those that give lights to others cannot hide the lights from themselves. God bless your hustle and crown it with success. For those who are getting job invite and eventual engagement as a result of these efforts, please don't delay giving your testimony here on this same platform as they will serve as encouragement for them and others to keep hope alive. I'm curious to observe that no company in Nasarawa State, around Mararaba, to Masaka axis is posted here. Could it be that no viable business, organization as advertised here find that area viable or may be security issues is affecting such plans. Good luck to everyone. Thanks my people. |
Kenya, or Uganda again? |
DEAFandDUMB:No now, because of what he said? But he enjoyed what he saw. Why trying to deprive others of such a beauty to behold. Be bold to accept your blessings as endowed by God. Nothing is wrong about the DP. Don't switch please. |
DEAFandDUMB:Certainly, I welcome the resolutions of the confab with whole heart. What a beauty to behold Nigerians gather to talk their differences. How I wish the national assembly can do the needful on those resolutions. That's would be a way to solving the impasse created and douse the cravings from agitators. Now discussing the National confab here will be a huge digression from your topic. Maybe again as an enlightened mind you can raise that topic another time. Your humour caught me unawares, but I'm available to help the DSS on my ability to xray body parts without going inside or body unclad. Wao! A killer pose and such curves can be a bait to a hungry or starved homosapiens. |
DEAFandDUMB:Yes, my eyes still sharp with high quality lens and to say I'm tempted is just an understatement. Do I now conclude U are a beauty with brains that is engaged in public discourse. Now to the topic, my contribution would not essentially be on the pros and cons as I would be repeating what some people have already said. Actually the poster that listed points, can't remember his moniker now spoke my heart out. Ideal federalism is the best word actually and not the typical Nigerian form and calling It TRUE federalism. At the time it was agreed by Gowon in Aburi Ghana, the context was not understood for the depravity it will cause some parts of the country. The position the government took was to consolidate and strengthen the unity of the country, not a selfish one. However that was at the time and now many water has passed under the bridge. I agree to ideal federalism, as the comparative advantages of each area would have brought higher developments to the country. But what the agitators are asking for now to me very parochial and selfish, particularly the south south and south east brothers. They stem their agitations based on the fact of greed on what their areas can give each of their pockets. They don't mind if Sokoto state become like Sudan or a hungry looking nation. If U ask me, yes Nigeria is huge with multi dimensional issues that granting ideal federalism now will cause more problems. Hence the best is for people to come to National conferences to speak unending discourse all the time. No President after being elected democratically as being practiced would come up and divide the nation into regions and states as being called for. The structure does not and would not allow it. Let me stop here. Guess I have contributed something beauty? |
DEAFandDUMB:Aha, what Ur pictures say on your DP is more than being unclad. Are U not inferring same, or do U want repetitions of what have been said. How many pages now on this thread? |
misz camel toe abi? |
keandre:He's not my pastor. I said I was a visitor invited to witness a child dedication and thanksgiving service. Thanks for your response. |
Is that not David Mark clapping wittingly there? |
Did he mention the tomato scarcity and "Tuta absoluta" disease that affected them? |
I need some one to help me on this issue: I was in a Church somewhere as a visitor, and the pastor was preaching on the Holy Communion which the scripture tagged the "Lord's Supper" he said. Now, he said being tagged the Lord's Supper means, it can only be administered or taken as from evening, precisely he mentioned as from 6pm and that anywhere it is taken in the morning, afternoon or any other time before supper time, believers should run away from such Church. To this I disagree. Yes I agree that in the Bible it was referred to as the Lord's Supper during his last moments with His disciples as the last supper and due to the timing of the persecution that was to start that night with Judas is cariot executing the betrayal plot. Was there anything anywhere to suggest that the holy communion must be taken at supper time only? The bible says as often as thou taketh it, you show the memory of the lord's death and rightly admonished that we should do it often. Why should emphasis be made on supper time by this pastor as the only time it should be taken. I need responses and contributions to clear any doubts raised by this opinion please. Thanks. |
