Nigerians always believe home cooked food is cheaper than eating in a restaurant. But is it true?
I understand it may be so for a large family, but for a single person is it really cheaper?

If we stick to strictly cost and not variable factors like washing pant water or unhygienic environment.

For me the most important factor is that outside food just never taste like home cooked food and outside food hardly satisfy. 1hour after eating, you are hungry again. Add those to the afordmentioned points like hygein, you'll see why the both are incomparable

Carlyscales:
This is really a manifesto!

But y d guy d yan opening university in all Anambra local govts before naa!

Soludo?? No go thereoo, he's got the ability to finally scatter the manifesto table.

Abeg no try profoo.

I'm not from Anambra but soludo is my man any time any day. The prof has sound reasoning, the type you need to disrupt the standard and galvanize a true progressive state. And beyond just talking, soludo has done it before. He gave us the solid banking structure we are enjoying today

God bless the prof. We all should have arms. So far so bad, bandits, Boko Haram, heardsmen, police, govt, they all have arms. The only sect that doesn't have arms are the law abiding citizens. That's not fair if you ask me. Giving that the service chiefs have asked Nigerians to defend themselves, which is an admission of failure and delegation of responsibility, I don't see how carrying guns is not the solution.

Don't care about the slowpoke that decided to kill himself. My only thought is just how heartbroken the poor mother would be. After all the financial sacrifices to see a child through school only to receive the news they killed themselves over a shabby looking girl. It's a tragedy

Before you cowards decide to take your life, please take a moment to think about the grief you will bring your parent.

CodeTemplar:
We don't need arms, we need the covering army and police are giving Fulanis too.

We actually need arm. This is the most honest submission they've ever made. The only segment of the population that don't currently have arms are the most vulnerable Nigerians, the ones that need the arms the most.

Bandits have arms in truckloads, Boko Haram, same. Police, same. Kidnappers, same. Govt, same. All these people have arms, why can't the law abiding and vulnerable Nigerians do the same. After all, the security agencies have failed us.

Local farms bearing arms would confidently stand up against marauders. And herdsmen will think twice before attacking villagers

He who the son sets free is free indeed

Swiftly uncovers hunters' gun in southeast while truckloads of assault rifles are openly displayed by bandits and herdsmen. It's well.

BastardWike:
All these quota system billionaires lacks creativity and foresight. You didn't build refineries in the 1970's, 80's, 90's or even early 2000's but now that fuel cars are being phased out and renewable energy is gaining massive boost globally, that is when the craze for refinery got into their head!

You're talking about AFcta but you forgot that heavily subsidized refineries built all over the middle East, Asia and developed world will equally channel their excess capacity to Africa. How can they compete?

Why can't they spend these monies in building power plants considering that Nigeria has a massive deficit in it?

Quarter system billionaires indeed!

How can they compete? The business literally has no competition. The local market is robust enough, 50 million daily is no small consumption. Proximity to raw material gives them every competitive edge needed. You should also remember the byproducts from these refineries will spring up lots of other industries.

Audacious move. Should be celebrated. Someone needs to make such move in our railway, to overhaul it completely. Then the power sector and ports...we already have peace air changing the way we fly one plane at a time. With massive investments like these, backed with strong leadership, we just might get the country working again

Thanks brother I hope to keep reading y'all comment time to time and I'm sure I'd get just the motivations I need

You don't need motivation. You seem not to have read anything I said. You don't need motivation. You don't need to constantly read comments. When you really want to quite you will do the needful

Please guys help me Bunminikan jesusjnr2020 yada01 thattallgirl justli Nuttella monben (I'm sorry I didn't reply ur comments that day, the mentions I had that day was much couldn't read it all plus I've been off Nairaland for bout a week now I'm sorry) I... really don't know just yesterday Sunday I was happy thanking God and sharing to my youth leader how I clocked 4weeks wi-[

I'll try and tell you exactly how I overcame masturbation. If you pay attention carefully, it will work for you. Pls read carefully.

For close to a decade, 9 years to be precise, I indulged this devastating habit. Nothing I didn't do to overcome it, or more accurately, I did everything but what I should.

The reason we stay with this addiction is because you fight. You fast, you cast and bind, you set calendar, you Mark and celebrate successes of abstinence... These all set you up for failure. Your craving heightens being that you are deprived.

Without dragging this too much, I'll tell you what worked for me and I believed, with little variations, it's the only thing that works.

First, I stopped fighting. I came to the conclusion that I was helpless as far as masturbating was concerned. I didn't blame myself. I accepted this as my fallen and weak nature.

But one thing was still clear: yes, I masturbate because of my weak and sinful nature, by no means my fault, but if I die in this sinful nature, I am doomed.

Second thing I did...
One day I was home and had the urge... I let out a prayer of absolute surrender:

I simply said, " God, you know if you want you can heal me of this sickness". It was that simple

You might not believe, you might never understand the depth of God's powers. From that moment, days passed, weeks passed and months...it was an absolute miracle.
It wasn't will power. It wasn't my doing. It wasn't effort. It was God redeeming a broken servant that accepted helplessness.

The next time I'd accidentally see porn flash, it was repulsive and I immediately looked away...I was healed. My default factory setting was restored.

Third thing you must know:
He who the son sets free, is free indeed. But when the son frees you, you must be wise enough to avoid tempting yourself.
Sometime ago, my friend was watching pirate movie full of sex scenes...he urged me to watch...I bluntly told him I'm guiding my sanity. I don't want to tempt the devil because I've realized the powerlessness of my willpower.

God will see your heart and he will heal you. But you have to let him. Stop hurting, it's the devil's way of ensnaring you even deeper.

We are all sinners. Make peace with that. Now ask the son to do heal you because you are helpless...wait for the miracle.

Nigeria is actually ripe for a civil war. There's a need for reset in every sector and an even redistribution of power.

It's in our best interest to engage the fulanis now that we can and put them in their place.

Same Adeshinas that infamously asked if it was wise for benue people to hold onto their land at the expense of their life.

For a pot of porridge these people can sell their ancestors. You find them in every tribe in the south, they sabotage their people's interest daily. They have no honor and are shameless. They are the worst of creatures

thelinguist:
only in Africa

Only in Africa? You are obviously not informed. Because I can give thousands of foreign websites, forums and YouTube channels dedicated to helping fellow man win over the struggle of porn.

If you wish to continue porning, by all means indulge your cravings, but don't live in denial of the obvious

kalu61:
What's wrong with African man?

Masturbation was hindering your progress and causing your money to vanish. Tell me, is your money not vanishing again.

Your problem was not masturbation but twist of life. When things doesn't work out, we naturally tend to question and blame everything. Sometimes it may just be indicipline, careless decisions, environment and state of mind etc.

Anyways, when you feel the urge, first is to work out of your house. Take a stroll. Occupy your minds with meaningful things, get obsessed with your vision and most importantly, if you have the courage, make female friends in your church.

Because your fear will always stare at you.

No sir. It's either your parents still fend for you, or you just started masturbating, or you have never masturbated or you are living in denial.

The human being is as whole as his mind. Masturbation and porn fvcks with the mind in ways you cannot begin to imagine. It cripples your spirit, your drive, your manly energy, your persona.

It is safe to say, no addicted masturbator can ever achieve their full potential. Don't be decieved by fake experts telling you how masturbation is the absolute best thing...
Any masturbator, If they are true to themselves, would wish they never indulged that first wanking...

And I don't get the urge with people always berating fellow Africans as uncivilized because they hold a different opinion... The problem of masturbation is not limited to the African man, there are thousands of Reddit threads dedicated to this struggle on different levels. People have hosted Ted talks on the same topic...so, this is a real struggle.
The billion dollar porn industries can afford to hire pseudo experts to gloss over the topic and come up with hundred reasons why you should never stop masturbating, because if you do, porn industry will be burried

troublemakea:
@soulwin4life me to brother. I just clocked bout 3weeks last weekend without masturbating after series of prayers n counsel but ion know thing have really not turn normal yet like that even tho I have this happiness in me that I've finally overcome masturbation but I Feel like God is kinda punishing me for wasting my time all thr this years cuz I really lost lotta opportunities last year due to masturbation n i know it...I just pray n hope He have mercy on me as soon as He can cuz I'm always down with disturbing thoughts

Cc; Righteousness2 jesusjnr2020 royalhouse femoint007 GodPraise

The most powerful word, for me, in the Bible is, "He who the son sets free is free indeed"

Those words powerful as they are real. If the Lord heals you, he has. But recognize it isn't will power. It's about realizing the powerlessness of will power in this, and resigning to faith in the cleansing power of the lamb.
He will heal you. You will see porn and walk away as it will disgust you. You will not have to fight it anymore. But you have to be wise to flee immorality and such scenes and not tempt the devil

PeaceLoveJoy:
Exactly the same stand I share. Honestly, after reading points from pro post tribulation, I was dazzled since I was born into pre tribulation. I have dreamt about rapture too, 3 times to be precised, but that was a very long time ago before I was 7. Well, dreams can be a reflection of what we take in, and can be visions. Only you can tell. You just need to be more sensitive. What I know is that when one is prepared, whether pre or post, one has nothing to worry about. Though, it is good to know, but when people start laying too much emphasis on it and base their faith and fate on it, hmmmmm...they just allow the devil to score cheap goals against them. I can flow with either of the two fractions. None of them will ever give a concised answer, but I have learned from both.

For me, I do not care again. What is important is to know Christ and the power of His resurrection. Finished. Pre, post, in btw, along side, almost within, or whatever, I do not care again. It is a distraction from the real issue.

God bless you.

The church in Africa believe in rapture before tribulation, and we have held that view for decades. The concern then is what might to people's faith if the church witness the tribulation. A lot of people will lose their faith in God.

I tried talking to someone once about the need to keep an open mind and preparation for both possibilities, but instead this brother rebuked me. But regardless, we must begin to reeducate the church on this.

Great post sir. The time is now for the awakening of the church even as the devil doubles down on deceiving more people from within and outside the church

We have to watch, pray and most importantly read the word of God daily. I strongly believe no one who reads the Bible daily can be decieved

I think Christians should approach this topic with a sense of humility and discernment. I can imagine how, a lot of people can lose their faith (the great apostacy) if after having waited for rapture, and you are still here to witness the lawlessness of the evil one.

We should be prepared for both possibilities. The Bible said that time will come when you will be killed for your faith and the killer would think he is doing God's work. There is every chance the saints will witness the great tribulation

We have to be prepared to die for our faith if need be. The Bible, in reference to the saints that made it through the great tribulation, said we overcome the devil with the words of testimonies and praises.

Audaciously redefining aviation in Nigeria.

No way! Abacha didn't steal

But seriously this money just looks plenty now because of the exchange rate. Then a dollar was about ₦20 or less. Compare what Abacha took to what these politicians have taken you'll see that they are in the same league

Are you high? The money has been devalued compared to when Abacha stole the money. Do you know the worth of $100 million dollars in 1998? These rulers are just heartless and Buhari could be worse than Abacha when his dossier is opened

Stewart883:
We don't need communist here. I love what the tech companies are doing. This was how Hitler started world war2 in 1939. Thank God for censorship Trump would have done what Hitler did, inciting violence!

No, the real Hitler's are those who censor you. Those you cannot speak against. Those who could cut you off. Trump has never invited violence for the record, they are still there. He was blocked, according to Facebook, not because he invited violence, but because his follows may judge his words as such....if you must hang a dog, you need to give it a bad name.

And Trump doesn't need these platforms to incite violence, his rallies are enoug, but Trump is a lawful and peaceful man. He has my respect

bluefilm:
They will soon censor this UN guy for breaking their Community Guidelines.

Enjoy the New World Order, people.

Imagine a little cunt Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and another little cunt Jack Dorsey of Twitter telling the President of The United States of America to shut the fúck up!

People said it was okay because they hated Mr Trump and his guts.

What these people don't know is that they will eventually come for everyone else.

Only that by then, there'll be nobody to speak out in their defence.

But on a more positive note...

There are now other platforms where people can still share their views without any fear of being censored... at least for now.

Platforms like Gab is there.

Platforms like Rumble is still there for videos.

When Parler eventually comes back, it is still another option.

We are witnessing the biggest power grab in history, but people just don't realize the depth of that power.

About 6 companies in the world collectively controls our lives literally.

Consider for instance the Parler case, for just no justifiable cause, these groups ganged up and cut off the platform...

They have no rules the follow, they make them up as they go...and act as an arbitrator alongside...this is dangerous for the future of the world and it seem we may be late already

Exactly what we have been saying...big tech need to to be regulated, but enlightened people on this forum would call you out as a conspiracy theorist for saying the obvious...

Some of us don't wait for CNN or main stream media to tell us how to think. We see world events and we make our own conclusion...it may already be too late, because these companies already acquired so much power and political influence they could cut off or silence whoever they seem fit.

Perhaps that's what works for us....Chelsea has been very successful in the last 15 years because of this impulsive firing...

Madrid and Barca fire as soon as they have doubt, and you can see the result for yourself

Paul should fvck off...for them English pundits it's all about support for a fellow English man... Lampard clearly lacks depth and technicality. Give him 6 more months all these bright players will become average.

banmee:
This is why I tell people to stop googling what they do not understand and just plain read. And why do Nigerians stress on another man's country but can't for the love of me fix their own? Fun fact. I immediately stay far clear from anyone who I find out believes in Trumps way of doing things. It tells me you are a racist, a sexual predator, a bigot, a fraud. and you have zero empathy or sympathy.

You are a brainwashed slowpoke incapable of critical thinking...any man who has lost his ability of introspection is useless...

Go back to your TV and small groups on social media where you heap abused on Trump for quick dopamine surges

Iamzik:
So it's all about immigration for you. You lots have bastardized your own country then you blame another man for not allowing you to come destroy theirs. If this is your only reason then it's a selfish reason. You think all countries should open their borders to terrorists like Nigeria is open to herdsmen?

That is it... it's just about immigration for them. They don't care if immigrants are sleeping on the street, like they do in California. What responsible govt open up its country without restriction...yet this same people will complain when Nigerians and malians invade the country through our northern border

banmee:
It already has. America and the world is less safe because of drumphf

Yeah Trump...even though he never fought any war. Even though fought ISIS and brought calm to the middle East. Even though he was working hard to bring peace between Israel and the Arabs. Even though he has returned more soldiers home than any other president...yes, Trump is the evil one..
But your God, obama nearly destroyed the middle East... A world without truth is a lost one...an urchins like you are the reason moronic politicians win offices

SimplyFacts:
American politics is the last thing on my mind.

That's if it is ever found there sef

I only opened this thread seeing Baba Mike Bamiloye in the heading

Fact is, America's politics affects us all, directly or indirectly...This one election will affect us in ways you haven't imagined...the next few years will tell

Only the wise can discern what's about to come... We are entering an era of lawlessness...
Watch and pray for we wrestle not against flesh or blood, but against principalities and POWERS...

It's very evidence how the powers of the world would gang up to rig out Trump, and justice was denied in court, cold...these things you should take seriously...don't be the "all is well" Christian because your pastor said you should confess positivity.
