The Nigerian system is rigged. Seun will just be another one of their victims. Currently he's got no skeleton in his cupboard, this appointment was a Trojan horse and had it been that he stayed in, they'll simply rope him in to something that would silence him for life. With snakes like tinubu and oshiobaba in the engine of Nigerian, be sure that Seun just dodged a bullet. With the current crop of politicians in power, Nigeria as a whole is beyond redemption and Seun would simply have been a crayfish in an ocean of sharks. Smart guy ![]() |
makewetalk2:Wow... You clearly don't know the Bible. So I'll not argue with you. Go and study with understanding and then return and read your statements again. If you get measured with your own "tape rule", you'll fall so short that nothing will be able to save you. |
makewetalk2:Mr Judge, all you have written is true... But you must watch it that while you hit on what's wrong with others, you do not ignore what's wrong with you. Given circumstances and sustained pressure coupled with a temptation targeted at your weaknesses, you may soon discover that you have no moral obligation to say all these things. Man's judgement is skewed but God's is just...The grace you wield may be the missing ingredient in the lives of these people you have sentenced to destruction and eternal damnation. So just take a chill pill and intercede for them instead. |

It's no news that people who bleach their skin have a unique body odour that's usually not pleasant. What they are saying might just be the truth and not to spite the girl in question. ![]() |

I think there should be a career timeline for celebrities in Nigeria, be a celebrity for a certain period and then retire to face your family. They can't be bastardizing the sanctity of marriage anyhow... The past two weeks have been really eventful. Na wa oh ![]() |
Marriage requires a lot of work to keep it going. This is what happens in a marriage of convenience, you get tired of the whole thing. It's important to love the person and be loved back in return. Because if there is mutual love and understanding, then money can be managed in abundance or little. But without mutual love and understanding, money will appear as a means of escape for one or both parties as seen above... ![]() |
Village people have now moved international... |
You just need to be connected to someone influential, that's all. I always thought being qualified was what it took until reality hit me hard. So I understood that its better to spend more time looking for people who can connect you than writing, rewriting, modifying and upgrading your CV, because quite frankly, with the right connection your CV is surplus to requirements. Its unfortunate but Its the hard truth. ![]() |
The end is near. Who did this to Africa ![]() |
Lilian dumped Blossom and got married to Ubi because of money only to discover that Ubi was a fraud with many baby mamas. Blossom loved Lilian but married Redvigor on a rebound after Lilian dumped him. Blossom never loved Redvigor. Silently, he prayed for the day Lilian and Ubi will separate so that he can go back to his true love. The day came, and he couldn't pretend to his his wife any more. Ladies and gentlemen, pray that the love between you and your spouse is mutual. ![]() |
You people just decided to put yourselves in bondage. Wet dreams are a natural phenomenon. You have absolutely no control over them. It's a reflex action that may occur at anytime you're asleep. ![]() |

Very normal stuvs... |
These same people will be crying to God for forgiveness everytime. I still don't understand how things happen in this world, there's too much wickedness. Thank God they didn't strip her naked. ![]() |
Should people now unfriend those who express strong political views and opinions on their social media pages? This is serious. This may be an indicator, if you have friends with such tendencies, just mute them. |
Even in church,you never know who your enemies are and where they are lurking. Always keep your success to yourself. Don't give testimonies anyhow, if you must, only give very vague testimonies, God understands the times we are in now. Why should you endanger your life and that of your family?... ![]() |
I doubt if they even know what song they are dancing to. |

There are only 6 women mentioned by name in this list of father names and Tamar is one of them. She earned a mention of prominence by a simple act of righteous deception. Tamar has arisen to the level of rock star status in the Bible because she used deception for the good of someone other than herself. This is a very important part of deception that is rarely taught and seldom mentioned. Here is another mention of her name in the Book of Ruth: Rth 4:12 And let thy house be like the house of Pharez, whom Tamar bare unto Judah, of the seed which the LORD shall give thee of this young woman. Tamar is again mentioned in the book of Ruth as being a righteous woman who did great things for the good of mankind and the house of Israel. You cannot deny that this was deception, but God elevates her to a level of importance for doing this deception that few have understood until today. At no time did God accuse this woman of committing any sin for what she did, do you see this? I actually have many more Bible verses to go into this subject of deception, but I have gone too long for today. So I will wrap this lesson up with that story of Tamar and hope that you can now see and understand that not every deception found in the Bible is a negative sin in the eyes of God. In my next lesson in this series I will give you some more examples found in the Bible of “Righteous Deception” and these will help to establish the truth in the mouths of two or three witnesses. I hope and pray that you have learned something from today’s lesson that you can take away in growing in your relationship with your God. God Bless! |
So Judah sees the woman Tamar and thinks to himself that she is a harlot available for hire. It is very important to note that Tamar does not ever say she is a Harlot; it is only Judah who has assumed the wrong things based upon a perceived impression of outward looks. Judah could have asked to see her face or spoken with her in many ways to find out the real truth, but he has been self-deceived with natural human male desire. Isn’t that interesting? What we see is Judah has deceived himself into thinking the wrong way based upon human desire and lust and outward appearances. It sounds a lot like what the kings did when looking at Sarah in the first story of Abraham. Gen 38:16 And he turned unto her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; (for he knew not that she was his daughter in law.) And she said, What wilt thou give me, that thou mayest come in unto me? So technically speaking while Tamar never says she is a prostitute you have to look at what she says very carefully. It would appear that she is asking for money for her sexual favor, but examine her heart and think again. She is really just asking for what she was already promised by Judah. Nowhere in this story is her deception an evil intentional act for harm to Judah or an attempt to get back at him for his lie. Gen 38:17 And he said, I will send thee a kid from the flock. And she said, Wilt thou give me a pledge, till thou send it? Judah tells Tamar he will send her a kid from the flock, but Tamar know who she is dealing with and says she needs some security to insure that he will do what he says. So she says this: Gen 38:18 And he said, What pledge shall I give thee? And she said, Thy signet, and thy bracelets, and thy staff that is in thine hand. And he gave it her, and came in unto her, and she conceived by him. So we can see that Judah is still negotiating the price and the collateral like any normal business transaction. Tamar asks for his signet, his bracelet and his staff for collateral. Do you understand the principle and symbolic meaning of these items? A signet was like giving your credit card to someone today. With it they could command you to pay everything that they charge with it. The first time bracelets are mentioned in the Bible it was when the servant gave Rebekah two bracelets for her to become Isaac’s wife, so this is a clear parallel to this story in Genesis 38. The staff was of course a symbol of power and the main instrument of a shepherd to herd his sheep. So Tamar was not asking for trivial things, these were signs and symbols of this man’s identity. In the Bible you can find where it says that having sex with a prostitute causes you to become one flesh with her. So the sexual act is considered to be a marriage covenant between Judah and Tamar. Therefore, Tamar was gathering items that could easily be used to identify him later as the one who had sex with her. Anyway Judah must have missed sex a lot so he agreed and gave her these three items and then he made Tamar pregnant with his children and then he went back home. Gen 38:19 And she arose, and went away, and laid by her vail from her, and put on the garments of her widowhood. Tamar departs back to her father’s house and changes her clothes back to the widow garments and then waits. Meanwhile, Judah sends people to find the prostitute with the sheep that he promised so that he could get back his possessions and they cannot find her. Nobody has ever seen this woman, so she was clearly not a prostitute for financial gain or income. So if money was not Tamar’s motivation what was the motivation of Tamar and who did she deceive? It is very clear that it was deception in the “nth” degree. But, I did not see anywhere that said that Tamar ever lied with her lips to achieve this deception, nor do I see where she did it to cause hurt or harm to anyone else. The purpose of this deception was not for evil but for the good outcome of the continuation of the family name of Judah. So in effect this deception of Tamar was only done for the good of Judah and not to do him any evil. This is a very important story in the Bible and you just do not realize its importance right now. So Judah finally hears about Tamar when she begins to show her pregnancy. It’s funny how words in the rumor mill can travel so quickly to everyone. Everyone knew that Tamar was a widow so when she shows up pregnant it is a perceived problem for Judah and the community. So Judah calls for Tamar so that they can put her to death for being a LovePeddler, but when Tamar shows up at his house she has his signet ring, staff and bracelets that show who the father is and Judah cannot not deny it because of these facts she presented to him. Judah then makes this statement: Gen 38:26 And Judah acknowledged them, and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more. You can clearly see that Judah was calling her deception a “righteous justified act”. Because, of this woman’s trickery the family line of Jesus has been preserved and Jesus can still come into the world as God had designed. You can clearly see this honor by reading the genealogy of Jesus given to us in the book of Matthew chapter 1. |
