[s]In this present age, you still acting foolishly. Na you and your family gave abio 48.3% abi, or you are mistaken Tofa to Abiola. Voted massively ko, voted dassively ni.

Concerning Atiku, I don't need to argue, he does not get massive vote from us but the one he got still more that the useless vote you called massive in your useless insignificant region.

Zombie like you too won dey talk.[/s]

You're just a dumb and lazy fella. Put your brain to use and calculate the vote tally of Abiola and Tofa in the link you gave me. I did the calculation by myself.

The four SE states gave Tofa a total of 790,371 votes (51.65%) and Abiola had 739,748 votes (48.35%).
Do the calculation, and if you get any figure different from what I quoted, I will send you ₦10k tonight.

Westtimeline:
Shut up,
Abiola won without useless igbo votes.

Obasanjo won because of northern votes

Yaradua won because all regions voted him

Same goes with Jonathan.

Why not make Jonathan won again because of una.


Your region is insignificant. Get that.

Shut up!

Abiola won 48.3% of South East votes and you're talking rubbish. If the South East voted for Tofa the way they voted for Atiku, Abiola wouldn't have smelled the victory.

Buhari won because of Northern votes and not your insignificant 53%. Even if you gave 90% of your votes to Atiku, Buhari would still have won.
Your votes were worth nothing!

A whole ⅓ of the South West states and 47% of South West voters voted for PDP and you're here talking rubbish! Go ahead and deny your tribesmen cos you want to prove a point that doesn't exist.

Nonsense!!!

oduademonest:
You are typical Yeibo liar who likes to reap where they did not sow: Abiola got roughly the same vote as Abiola in Anambra

Regardless, the SE did not vote for Abiola.

We will never forget!!!!

Why not remind us of the number and percentage of votes SW gave Buhari in 2015 and 2019? 55% for Buhari in 2015 and 53% in 2019 never gave him the victory.
The total margin of win of Buhari in the whole SW was less than Atiku's margin of win in Anambra alone.
Drop this over-inflated sense of the political importance of your region!

oduademonest:
Your vote is not needed

Without you, Abiola won the election
Without you, Yaradua won
Without you, Buhari won X 2

With you, GEJ was kicked out
With you, Atiku lost

I don't understand why you think you matter?

This is the kind of self delusion that has rendered you useless in the Nigerian affair.

Anambra voted very well for Abiola, so it wasn't really without us that he won in 1993. Even my home town voted for him then.
Obasanjo won in 1999 without the support of the South West. He wasn't SW candidate, even though he's Yoruba.
With us (and without core North), Jonathan won in 2011.
With us (and without core North), Yar'Adua won in 2007.
Buhari is the first president that didn't need our votes to win.

logon599:
They would have, but they did so without receiving the beating which is better

Man City might not have beaten them this badly.
Also, it's better to lose to Man City than to Watford.
Moreover, it will be on record that they are FA Cup 2018/19 runner up.

Benbelor:
They still would by virtue of their PL position

Yeah, cos he was making it seem like it was a blessing in disguise for Wolves to lose to Watford in d semi.
I think it would have been more honourable for Wolves to lose FA Cup final to Man City and qualify for Europa than to lose the semi final to Watford and still qualify for the same Europa.

The General that massacred and burnt a full cummuinity in the same south south to ground for demanding their resources plundering and enviromental degradation to stop, is blaming the one who paid ransom to secure the release of innocent children.

while the people from the region whose people were massacred in cold blood are now hailing the one responsible for their woes, Obasanjo who lead the Comando forces in a brutal massacre and destruction of Biafra forces till Ojuckwu ran off to cote'dvoire has a statue Erected in Imo State, while i doubt ojuckwu has any

what hypocrisy, Sentiment and Short Memory / lack of history would do in nigeria heeen even Abacha would have become hero of democracy if he was alive.

Time changes things, including perceptions of people, circumstances and events.

The same Buhari you hail today jailed many revered former Yoruba leaders.
He's a bloody coupist who toppled a democratically elected government.
He supported and still praises Abacha today who looted so much funds from Nigeria that 20 years after his death, the country is still recovering his loot. You remember what he did to Abiola, right?

These are some of the pedigree of Buhari, but you and your ilk still worship him. You really have no right to point fingers at others.

That 8cm taller,translates to 7.8 Feet tall..

That's a full 4 Inches taller..

That's more like 3 inches. 4 inches is 10.16cm.

Giant Gonzalez was far Taller..

A quick check showed that Andre the Giant is same height (2.24m), while Gonzalez is just 8cm taller (at 2.32m). That's just one wrestler. Who else?

4 days, 16 days.
Wow.
Nice to see it's working out.

My dear, it was miraculous. I fervently prayed about it cos I had got to a point where I just didn't have any idea how it was going to work out anymore.
Within those few days after I met her, I was deeply convinced in my spirit that she was the one. For the first time in my life, I had absolute rest in my spirit regarding my relationship. She ticked ALL my boxes and added more ticked boxes alongside.
Thanks for rejoicing with me.

Nnaabros:
There's ATTRACTION, There's INFATUATION, an there's LOVE.

What you felt initially was an INTEREST or ATTRACTION. or perhaps an INFATUATION. obviously you came to LOVE what you saw in her when you finally met her.

You really can't love something you don't know. You can be attracted to it because it looks or appears good. But it is love that makes you want to keep or remain with that thing after you get to know it better.

It's almost like seeing a beautiful dress in a shop and it immediately catches your eyes because it looks good and ATTRACTIVE. You immediately want it to badly. But when you finally get it and realises it is not of good quality, you immediately want to discard it. On the other hand, if it is beautiful and also durable, that's will make you want to keep it.

Well, I wasn't attracted to her cos of her looks. Within those 4 - 16 days, my spirit connected fully with hers. I knew her enough within that 1st week to realise that the most important things I needed in a woman were resident in her. I knew she was everything I wanted. She wasn't the most beautiful girl I had seen, but her personality and the entirety of her being was perfect for me. You can argue that I hadn't known her well enough, that's true. It was probably a risk I took, but it worked out perfectly. After 16 months, I still feel as strongly about her as I felt from the very first week.

Toks2008:
Don't move on yet but just ignore him for good and i mean stop texting or initiating conversation him.

If after like a month he does not wake up then it means he has moved on then you can move on too. Nobody is too busy to have time for the one h/she truly desires.

Adviseasister, I think this is an apt advice for you. If the guy truly loves and values you, he'll never dump you like that.

I started my relationship with my fiancée more or less the way yours started, in similar circumstances. The only difference is that we met on Facebook. It's been over 15 months, yet I can't go more than a day without at least chatting with her, except we both agreed on it for a particular reason. Despite the fact that she benefits from me much more than I can ever benefit from her (for now), I still Iove her beyond words. I can't even imagine being separated from her. If she goes silent for a whole day, I won't let her rest till she tells me what's wrong.

If the guy no longer communicates with you, then he has lost interest. It may be temporary or permanent.
The only modification I want to make to the advice I quoted is that you should try and discuss with him, if you haven't done so yet. If he doesn't grant you audience, then go ahead and ignore him. I know it's difficult, but you can do it. If I were you, I will delete all his contacts from my phone and move on with my life. If he comes back, well and good but if he doesn't, life goes on. It's painful to lose a relationship with someone you love very much, especially someone who lives abroad (in ur case), but nothing says you won't get a much better guy soon.

Nnaabros:
But how does one love a person they've never met?
You fell in 'love' just from his online post, texts, phone calls?

The word love has been so misused these days that it has become almost meaningless

Don't say much about this cos you truly don't understand.

I met my fiancée on Facebook and fell in love with her within 4 days. Within 16 days, I asked her out and she accepted. We still hadn't seen face to face. We were and still are in different countries and continents. We finally met 9 months later and got engaged.

I can tell you categorically that she's the most amazing friend and partner I've ever had. I've had a previous relationship that lasted 3½ years, I have equally had a number of female friends in the past, but my fiancée beats them all hands down. I am talking from a personal experience.

This is serious mehn. How could his brain accommodate the rigours of MSc programme?

elvhinzey:
Hello counsellors in the house, kindly give me an invaluable advice on which to choose, and for reasons best known to you.
Thank you.

Whoever tells you nursing is better either doesn't like you or is ignorant. Pharmacy is probably the best among all medical jobs. Nurses are highly underpaid everywhere (in Nigeria), and Bsc nurses aren't left out. Even in hospitals, pharmacist earn slightly higher than nurses.
Pharmacists also have the opportunity to work in pharmaceutical and research industries. They can also work as drug reps, and believe me, many drugs reps make a whole lot of money, much more than most nurses can ever make in their life time.
When tired of being employed, most pharmacists open pharmacies, where they can even practice some bit of clinical pharmacy. Some go on to start importing drugs with time, and can go further into drug manufacturing.

Toks2008:
Thank you jare. Clueless people everywhere


I see Osinbanjo/northerner ticket and as I wrote in a thread 2 years ago... Buhari is the Moses of our time while Osinbajo is the Aaron so Osinbanjo will continue where Buhari stopped but our Joshua is yet to come and when he comes, he will usher Nigeria into the promise land.


This is the thread...

https://www.nairaland.com/3326707/buhari-osinbajo-moses-aaron-time

But Aaron died before Moses, so how come your Aaron will continue from where your Moses will stop?

This is just like, the ooni of ife or maybe alafin of Oyo, or maybe oba lilwane abi wetin be his name(oba of lagoon) inviting president Xi Jinping of China for "Eyo festival".

Or maybe obi of onitcha, or igwe ezike-oba, or igwe aguleri or any traditional ruler from the east inviting Donald Trump for "Ofala festival" or "ikeji arondizogu festival "


And one Mr integritated man who is just returning from one week trip to U.k dusted his dry wrinkled bombom "voom" to Saudi, when the country he is RULING is burning.

Saudi Arabia is a kingdom ruled by a king who is their head of state. They don't have a president.
All the traditional rulers you mentioned aren't head of state of any countries.

Well said brother...

Sorry about your stolen vehicle...

Something good will befall you soon.

Thanks bro, I appreciate. God bless you.

datigbogirl:
I'll repeat what I said, hoping it will sink in properly this time around. You dont need to go to church to differentiate between good/bad.

You also confirmed that some Atheist give to the needy. Same way some Religious folks also fail to help the poor. Doing good or bad deeds has nothing to do with spirituality. I'd one can't discern between good & evil, what they lack is empathy, not religion or Allah or your christ. I gave sacrificial offerings as a medical student, but I japa once I got into 500Level in Mental Health posting. There's such a thing called Delusional Disorders which was a presentation topic of mine. An example is Religious delusion. My brother as I said, this is an opinion, I dont need to pray you encounter the light one day, experience will tutor you on that, and if you still refuse, it remains your choice and will always be.

I'll prefer spending my money on hoes and booze cos it gives me pleasure rather than squandering on someone to tell me what I already know.

My giving to the needy will still come in handy. My summary here is, if we have a working system, there'll be little need to give to church to give back to the populace. This is an evidence of a failed nation.

However as I said, this remains an opinion and will always be. I choose mine, you choose yours.

Good day bro.

So Psychiatry posting made you dump your belief in God? It's a pity. Unfortunately, you never knew God genuinely, and that's why you were easily swayed.
It's okay to call it a delusion. As long as I'm enjoying the experience, that's all that matters.

You can spend your money on hoes and booze since it gives you pleasure. It's your choice, same way it's my choice to drop mine in church. Hoes and booze can't give me pleasure, rather they will make me depressed and hopeless if I ever tow that line. So I spend mine on what gives me pleasure and fulfilment which is in the service of God.

Being a Christian hasn't made my life less meaningful than yours. While my belief may be repulsive to you and yours seems to you like the right way, the reverse applies to me. I'm comfortable 'wasting' my money like that, and I will keep doing it as long as I live.

I don't give to the church for them to give back to the society. I give to the church cos that is where I belong. It's my home. When I give to my siblings, I do that cos they are my family. I want them to be comfortable. That's how giving to the church is for me.

datigbogirl:
The tithe you pay to churches will be put to better use in helping more people as you wish to. Church programmes and all if not executed won't have a negative impact to your next door neighbor, but the help you may not be able to provide cos of the tithe you've already paid might.

Coming clear, I'm an atheist who doesn't believe in God but in Love. You might say I still believe in God as God is Love but whatever. The taxes and sound educational systems you mentioned up there have had more positive, transforming and indelible impact on lives than the church has in my opinion, which is evident in nations that pay less attention to God matters but more to the direct person you can see, hear or feel. Your "tithes" to those institutions will be a much more appreciated goodwill than to a church that only tells you what you already know deep within, about not taking another man's wife or a woman who's not yours legally, or about not stealing, corruption and bearing false witness. Anyone who needs a church for these to me is a sick person who actually needs counseling and not spiritual help, as you'll agree with me most spiritual peeps still indulge in these sordid deeds.

The church ofcourse isn't misusing your funds, you're the one misusing it, but hey it's just a freaking opinion!

You see, this is where you get it wrong. The point in bold isn't why I go to church. I can read about them in the Bible. There is more to it, for me.
Going to church on Sunday is as important to me as going to night club on Friday is to many young people. I love going to worship God (not just on Sundays) cos it makes me feel refreshed. I simply love the experience, just like you may love partying, dancing etc.

You lots talk about helping the poor as if most of you are doing it. Most of the people who don't pay their tithe equally don't help the poor. So many rich people out there who don't care about the poor and downtrodden around them, but once tithe is mentioned, you all remember the poor.
Less than half of Nigerian Christians pay their tithe regularly. If you equate that to the total number of Nigerian adults, then I can bet you that less than 20% of Nigerian adults pay their tithe. What about the rest 80% or more? How come they aren't helping the poor and transforming the society? If those 80% were doing what you're suggesting we do with our tithes, Nigeria would have been much better. To make it easier for you to understand, compare the Muslim Core North where tithe paying Christians may be as low as only 1% of their total population to the South East where there may be up to 30-40% tithe payers. Are the Northerners better than the South Easterners in terms of helping the poor? But you see, when you find it difficult to give to God, you will also be unable to make sacrifices for others. I agree there are many atheists that give to the society, but the average tithe-paying Christian is more likely to give to the needy after paying his tithe, than the person who doesn't believe in paying of tithe.

As regards misusing my money, there you get it wrong again. I don't drink, I don't smoke and I don't womanise. The fact that I don't engage in those activities means I'm able to save more money than anybody earning exactly what I earn but engages in them. Many of such people spend up to 10% of their monthly earnings on such leisures. Apart from these, there are other activities I could have been doing which will cost me some good deal of money. What if I've decided to use Sunday worship as my leisure and spend that money in church? So you see, someone else spends his money on expensive drinks and on women, while I spend mine in church. To you I've misused my money but to me, the guy spending on women and drinks has misused his. At the end, I come out healthier, saner and without as much emotional baggages as such people.

I don't expect you to understand cos you're an atheist. It won't make sense to you. It's the same way nothing will make sense to me if I hear people communicating in Chinese language. My ears aren't tuned to interpret the language, same way your spirit isn't tuned to appreciate what I am saying.
Hopefully, you will encounter Christ someday.

datigbogirl:
This in my opinion is what blessed you, not the tithe. As people have always said, instead of giving to the church, give to people in need.

My own point is, challenges and trials happen in life and tithing won't do a thing to stop or reverse that, it's more likely the people we have on earth that would. Na we dey help ourselves and na we dey do ourselves, not one God or black hooded creature.

Won't talk more on the issue as you rightly said, we're all entitled to d choices we make. Wish you a lovely day brother.

It's alright. I clearly understand the angle you're coming from.

I give my tithe today cos my church really needs it. All the funds needed to run the church come from tithes and offerings, and believe me, it will be difficult for my church to pull through if a couple more faithful tithers quit. The number already dropped in 2018 compared to 2017, and it hasn't been easy. My pastor has no access to the church funds, so why should I be bothered thinking about one man eating the money?

I am not among those who believe that paying of tithe in church is the most important thing a Christian should do. You can pay all the tithe, yet still be considered a sinner before God, if you're living in immorality and other forms of ungodliness as we see in today's church. The new covenant believer in God is expected to offer his entire life (including possessions) to God as a sacrifice, which means that even if God wants you to give 100% of your earnings, you shouldn't struggle with it. God is not keen on 10% anymore, he desires to be completely in charge of our entire lives not just money.

I cherish helping people in need. It's a passion for me, and I often try to maximise every such opportunity. That said, I still give my tithe. I've always belonged to churches where I am well nourished spiritually, so I feel glad giving my tithe to them. If for example you live in a society where taxes are judiciously used, you won't feel very bad paying your tax no matter how big it is. Likewise, if you're in an expensive school where you're very well taught and exposed to modern ideas, you won't feel too bad about how much you pay in fees. That's how it is for me when I pay my tithe to a church where my pastors are sound. I don't regret it especially when I know they aren't misusing it.

Take good care of yourself.

datigbogirl:
Chisos! So you never found it? So sad meen...so all these tithe things na wash afterall.

All those money you wasted on tithes could have provided you a new one.

It is well bro...

Thanks for your concern.

By the grace of God, I can afford 15 or more of exactly that same car today, so I no longer feel bad that I couldn't find it. Even the various freewill support I've given to family, friends and strangers since that time can buy 2-3 of the same car if I kept the support to myself.

So as you can see, my tithes aren't a waste as you may think. Even if they're a waste, I am content with what I have left after giving the tithe monthly.

You don't have to believe what I just said, as you're entitled to whatever you choose to believe. I'm also not under any obligation to prove anything to you.

Have a lovely day. Cheers.

You showed us evidence of his wedding (which proves nothing in this case) but you failed to show us evidence of the leaked nudes or the said girl who leaked his nudes.
And I fail to believe a man will commit suicide because of his nudes. Man? Not woman? Sounds shady

Look, we are not stupid. You cannot divert our attention with many words.
It is obvious that the murderous Pastor Telena of Shepherd House recruited this brainwashed religious zombie (probably an usher) to type this lie about a dead man.

Show us proof that this man died because of leaked nudes or SHUT UP!

*spits

His wedding was supposed to hold less than 3 weeks ago. What happened? Why wasn't it held? If you claim it was held, where is his wife in all these news?

If he couldn't afford house rent, how come he was planning to get married? Can a man who can't afford to house himself alone be planning a wedding?
How would he have funded a wedding if he can't pay house rent? He could have rented a room for 100-200k in Kubwa. How much would it cost to hold a wedding?

His father is a pastor (as we can see from his wedding IV), so he probably feeds fat on the tithes of members and rides private jet, like you folks want the world to believe. How come his private jet-riding pastor dad couldn't help him with his house rent?
