Mass death I guess

I guess Jonathan just doesn't have the personality and carriage of leaders to be reckeoned with, or why would naija be denied of foreign aides in terms of drugs and other supplies? If it's necessary, guy better go and beg, cap in hand, so that naija doesn't lose out.

. Y must everything that goes wrong be abt Jonathan? If u don't insult ur president I guess ur comment will be incomplete. What has US refusing to give us ZMAPP got to do with jonathan...Haba! he is human, let give him some respect & support.

... “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:11.

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life....”

19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”

23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” John 8:12, 19-24

THE PREEMINENCE OF CHRIST

Colossians 1:15-20
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.
16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
18 And He is the head of the body, the
church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father
that in Him all the fullness should dwell, 20 and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

ziky2010: Who are we going to believe now.Truth be told,Gej is trully incompetent to rule Nigeria

Who then is competent, you? Or Tinubu or Obj? Or all d past military/civilian leader? I'm just asking. Even if Obama comes to be president in Naija you'll call him incompetent. Pls fellow countrymen let us stop all these baseless destructive criticism, it'll not help us. Let us show some respect for our leaders & if we must, criticize constructively. I can bet my lunch, if u're elected as president u'll score less than 10%. #ilovenaija

slightlyMad: keep passing false information up and down, until we know how BOTH not one, BOTH doctors caring for victims got it
all those list na wash.
It could even be airborne, who knows?

. Valid info on ground said ebola is not airborne. If its airborne casualties would've been in thousands even worst.

Cikoloko: Nice one bro tnx 4 the info

Agunnewi: Very informative.

Thanks!

Wolison: God can never give us what will kill us, this Ebola of a thing is from the pit of hell and should be treated as an enemy of light..........thanks op@very concise information

U're wlcm. Stay safe.

Let's keep hope alive, this one is a done deal. It will not exceed August.

US STATE DEPARTMENT EBOLA ALERT.

In order to help our Embassy Community better understand some key points about Ebola virus we consulted with our medical specialists at the U S State Department & assembled this list below, worded in plain language for easy understanding.
• The suspected reservoirs for Ebola are fruit bats.
• Transmission to humans is thought to originate from infected bats or primates that have become infected by bats. Under cooked infected bat and primate (bush) meat transmits the virus to humans.
• Human to human transmission is only achieved by physical contact with a person who is acutely and gravely ill from Ebola virus or their body fluids.
• Transmission among humans is almost exclusively among caregiver family members or health care workers tending to the very ill.
• The virus is easily killed by contact with soap, bleach, sunlight, or drying. A washing machine will kill the virus in clothing saturated with infected body fluids.
• A person can incubate the virus without symptoms for 2-21 days, the average being 5-8 days before becoming ill. THEY ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS until they are acutely ill.
• Only when ill does the viral load express itself first in the blood and other bodily fluids (e.g vomit, feaces, urine,breast milk, semen and sweat).
• If you are walking around you are not infectious to others.
• There are documented cases from Kikwit, DRC of an Ebola outbreak in a village that had the custom of children never touching an ill adult. Children living for days in one room huts with parents who died from Ebola did not become infected.
• You cant contract Ebola by handling money or swimming in a pool.
•There's no medical reason to stop flights,close borders, restrict travel or close embassies,businesses or schools.
• Always practice good hand washing techniques,you will not contract Ebola if you do not touch a dying person. Pls share this information & try not to spread panic on social media.

Question:
hello DRealGeesam, God bless
u for ur selfless service. I am
interested in inverters.
my questions:
1. how much can I get a second
hand inverter
(12v,800-1000w)
2. can I connect more than one
battery on a 12v 800w
inverter? if yes. how?
3. how can I check if a battery
is still usable (in case I want to
buy fairly used ones)
thanks.

Answer
I dont sell inverters , i also buy from the dealers.

A good inverter of the specification you gave (12v, 800-1000w) costs about 30,000

For the chinese ones with UPS capability, it costs 20,000 max

Chinese versions without UPS and battery charging capability costs about N10,000

A secondhand one would cost about 40% the price of the new one. So do your calculations.
2. Yes you can connect as many batteries as possible for ONLY the top brand inverter, not the chinese version (usually termed car inverter). For 12v inverters, you connect the batteries together in PARALLEL. This means you connect positive to positive and negative to negative then you connect to the inverter. Dont make mistakes

Checking if a battery is still good is done using an hydrometer. It is a very technical process that varies from electrolyte to electrolyte. Most deep circle batteries are sealed, so there is no way u can insert the hydrometer without damaging the casing. Just buy a new battery and avoid being a victim.

thanks a lot for u response. it was insightful.

annoymous: This is all blasphemy.

you are not d first to say it, that's what the Pharisees said to Jesus when He said ”The Father and I are one” May God give u understanding

Av always have it in mind of going into inter tribes marriage with ur sister, and I got involved during my days at laspotech.
The beauty and the beautiful smile on Nkechi got my attention but been a follower on nairaland starting from most respected and late memory of Anichebe write up on this forum piss me off from my grl due to the hatred I got here abt my tribe,I felt am not secure even with d love her family shown to me.

But sincerely she said she will never let go of me because am unique in my own world.Am in love with her truly but how will I cope if the hatred from one tribe to another on this forum translate to very one on the street.

To me on this forum inter tribes e-war started frm point of been arrogant and proud of been superior while other inferior to u.

no doubt u guys are hustler and that got u involved in anytinz that can bring the money to u either good,bad and worst.

Even you,yourself knows that you can never be superior in every tins to others.We all need to be diligent wen expressing our concern on other tribes.


CAN SOMEONE PAY JUSTICES TO THIS.IF U WARE BORN INTO OTHER TRIBES MIST HOW WILL U FEEL WEN BASH TOGETHER WITH THEM.

we are born NIGERIA b4 any tribe.FUNNY enough GOD knows y he created us together.or do u believe he had made a Big mistake creating us together as one Nation.

REMEMBER U WILL NOT BE ASK IN HEAVEN WHICH TRIBE U BELONG RATHER THAN HOW DO U COPE WITH UR NEIGHBORS

don't take what you read here personal. d original purpose of d OP was to educate d public & address some questions abt Igbo nation, but some ppl highjacked d thread and turned it to e-war front, its unfortunate.
I am an Igbo man as u must've noticed, but when my sister brought did Yoruba man home and told us she loves him, we asked her if she was sure. she said yes. we asked her if he is a Christian. she said yes, he's even a pastor. we gave her our blessings and accepted d young man as one of us. they have since married and living happily.
I don't care where you are from, what matters is your personality and how u treat other. we are all humans, no person or tribe is perfect. we all have our flaws and strength, we must learn how to accommodate one another. otherwise this country will self-destruct.

stop d tribal war already!

Pls fellow nairalanders, stop the chest-beating and name-calling already. you're deviating from d op's purpose for did thread. whether Igbo or Hausa or Yoruba, we are one. we must learn to accommodate each other.

THE VOW
(A Lesson In Marriage)

I, Sarah Adams take you, Lawson Kuti as my
lawful wedded husband, to love and to cherish, in
sickness and in health, till death do us part” she
smiled at him through her veil.
“You may now kiss your bride Mr. Lawson” The
Pastor beckoned.
Lawson’s heart raced as he gently unveiled his
bride’s face. She looked so beautiful. He gently
bent over and placed a soft kiss on her lips. Sarah
in turn embraced him tightly with tears of joy
streaming down her face.
“Never leave me Sarah” He whispered in her ear.
“I will never leave you” she whispered and they
slowly released themselves from the embrace.
“I present to you the latest couple!” The Pastor
exclaimed excitedly
The church cheered and Sarah cried more in her
husband’s arms.
5 years Later
Sarah silently tip toed behind her husband. He
was in his study, engrossed in reading. She
smiled to herself and gently covered his eyes with
both hands.
“It’s just you and I in this house Sara, plus, I
smelled you the moment you walked in” He
dropped
Sara released her hold, sighed and sat on the
study table, “Why do you figure me out so easily?
I can’t even surprise you! That sucks” she curled
her arms around his neck.
“You are my wife, nothing you do is supposed to
surprise me” He playfully pecked her nose.
“But you’ve been in the study all day and I’m
bored!” She rolled her eyes
“So what kind of fun do you suggest we have
then?” He swooped her off the table in his arms
“No! no that kind of fun!” She hit him playfully till
he put her down.
“Ok”, He folded his arms on his chest, looking
into her eyes, “So what do you want us to do?”
“Not us. Actually, all I want is to play with your
play station and you’ve hidden it again! Just give
it to me and you can continue your reading,
pleaaaseee” She blinked her eyes playfully
“No way”, He went back toward his study chair
and sat, “Not my play station”
“Why! You never let me touch it…like its your
baby” She sulked.
“Well”, he rolled his eyes, “Not like you’ve given
me a baby yet”
Sara paused for a moment. Did he just say that to
her? The words struck her deep down.
“You shouldn’t have said that Lawson…” She
managed to say, her countenance changing.
“But it’s true…I’m only saying the truth Sara” He
turned to face her, still sitting on the chair.
“The truth? You think I don’t want us to have
kids?”
“Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that…” He
stood to face her now.
“Then what are you saying Lawson? Tell me,
what is the truth?”
“Let’s not do this today…please. You can have
the play station and play all you want. It’s in my
footwear locker and the key is in my Bible.”
“You always do this…hurting me with your words”
Her voice began to shake.
“Don’t start Sara please”
“Tell me why you said those words to me! I want
to know!”
“Because I’m tired! I want to be a father! I want to
have my own kids Sara…” and you think I don’t?!”
Sara flared, trying not to let the tears pour.
“Then why can’t you get pregnant Sara? This is
the fifth year we are trying.” He clenched his
teeth and walked out of the study room.
Sara was in shock. She sat on the chair for some
seconds, stood up again and sat on the chair
again…this time she held on to her blouse and
burst into tears.
2weeks after
“Lawson, wake up please” Sara tapped him
Lawson gently opened his eyes and looked at the
alarm clock by his bedside, “It’s 2:00am Sara…”
“It’s urgent”
“I’m listening” He said drowsily.
“Mother says we should come for tests. She says
she’s spoken to her doctor and he said we should
come.”
“What?” Lawson opened his eyes now, “Your
mother is in the UK for Christ’s sakes”
“Let’s just do it. We can go for the weekend, lets
just give it a shot, please.”
“No. That would be rather expensive and…”
“It’s my birthday today and the only thing I want
from you is this trip”
Lawson fell quiet now. For the past two years
now, his wife’s birthday skips his mind…totally.
“I’m…I’m sorry Sara…It skipped my mind…”
“It always does” She lay down back on the bed,
backing him.
Lawson wrapped his arms around her waist, “I
said I’m sorry…”
No response.
Lawson sighed, “Fine, we go this weekend”
“Really?” She turned sharply, excited.
“If it will make you happy today”
“Thank you baby” She hugged him.
A week after
Sara jerked at the vibration of the phone in her
pocket.
“Hi mom!” she pressed the phone to her ear with
her shoulders, wiping the washed dishes with her
hands.
“Honey…”
“What is it mom?” she pressed it harder
?The result…the result of the tests…” her
mother cried
Sarah gently dropped the plate and the wiper,
heart racing…”Just say it mom…”
That night
“I can never have children Lawson…” Sara cried
Lawson felt his world crash right in front of him,
“W…what?”
“Mama called today…she’s gotten the tests
results”
“Jesus Christ” Lawson stood, placing his palm on
his head, “b…but you told me you were ok before
we got married, you told me the doctor said your
abortion didn’t damage your womb”
“Don’t bring my past into this!” Sara flared.
Lawson laughed and got serious almost
immediately, “You are crazy. I married a crazy
woman!”
Sara looked at him in shock, like he’d lost his
mind.
“The results say you can never have children and
we both know that this has to do with the abortion
you had before we met!”, he flared, “are you
happy?…you know we’re screwed right? No kids?
what re we going to tell the world?”
“Lawson we can adopt…” Sara cried.
“Adopt? Wow!”, he laughed again, “I married a
funny woman too!” He got serious again, “Its still
not our baby! The damn baby is not my flesh and
blood! You are full of deceit Sara” He looked into
her eyes. Sara could see him fighting his tears.
“Lawson stop…you are hurting me…” Sara fell on
her knees crying.
“You want to know what I’m thinking?” Lawson
looked at her with disgust, “I’m thinking how on
earth I’m going to stand seeing your deceitful face
for the rest of my life”
“Sara cried harder, “Dont give up Lawson…So far
I have a womb…I can still carry our baby…”
“I am not giving up on having my baby, I’m giving
up on you” Lawson turned around to leave
“Lawson!” She held his feet, “I’m hurting too…”
He only dragged his feet from her hold and drove
out of the house. She wept.
A month Later
“Mother, he’s not even talking to me. All of a
sudden we are both strangers…He doesn’t eat my
food, comes home late…he hates me so much
and it’s killing me. I’m confused…to think that it’s
truly hurting…”
“For how long will you hide this truth from him.
You’ve got to let him know…you can’t carry his…”
There was the sound of a car horn.
“Mom I’ve got to go…he’s back”
“Baby, you’ve got to let him know. It can work
when you two are one in mind”
“Bye mom” she ended the call.
Lawson came into the house, about to walk past
her.
“Lawson” She held him
“I’m tired” He didn’t want to look at her face
“I know…can we talk for some minutes?” She
tried to help him remove his suit
“Look what is it” He jerked from her.
“Do you hate me this much? you can’t even look
me in the eye? you can’t even stand my sight?
Lawson…it’s me Sara…your best friend…” Her
eyes grew moist
“I’m in no mood for this” He turned around to
walk away
“Don’t you dare leave when I’m talking to you!”
She dragged him by the suit. Just then, some
papers fell to the floor. Sara quickly bent to pick
them up…her hands shook and her body became
numb all over.
“D…divorce papers? Lawson?” She searched his
eyes.
“Answer me goddammit!” She held him by the
collar of his shirt, crying.
“They are for you to sign. I want to be out”
Lawson dropped.
“Y…you what?” she slowly freed him from her
hold.
“It’s not going to work Sara, can’t you see?”
“Lawson I can’t believe you would think of a
divorce and even go this far…why are you so
wicked!” she cried, angry.
“No! Why are you so wicked!” He retorted, flaring
“Think about me for once. I am a man for Christ’s
sakes. My children are my pride! and you are
about to deny me that for the rest of my life
because of your stupid mistake!”
“What about me! have you stopped for once to
think about what I’m going through”
“It’s your cross, carry it” Lawson fixed his angry
eyes on his wife.
“No, its now our cross and I am not signing those
divorce papers! We vowed never to leave each
other!”
“Isn’t it better Sara that you save yourself more
hurt and sign these papers than to see another
woman move into this house before your very
eyes?” he said with a tone of sarcasm.
Sara’s heart thumped, “What?”
“You heard me…another woman who can help
raise a family, so save yourself the stress and
sign the damn papers. I need it tomorrow”He
turned around to leave again
“She still can’t carry your baby” Sara dropped
“Not all women had abortions. Not every woman
was like you.” He scorned
“You are the one who can’t give me a child!” Sara
let out, crying.
Lawson stopped now, turned around and walked
towards her, “Whatever your plan is won’t work”
“I told you I could never have a child because its
you who can’t make me pregnant”
“Shut up! shut up Sara! what the hell are you
saying!? He shook her shoulders violently
“You are infertile Lawson…the doctor says you
have primary infertility…” Sara burst into tears
Lawson gasped, loosing his balance.
“Mother called me to give me the news. I was
shattered, I felt like my world was over but more
importantly I thought of you. I thought of what the
news could do to you, I thought of the best way to
tell you… never for once did i think of leaving you.
I bore your insults, your scorn, because of my
past. It was so easy to judge me and think of
yourself.
I am the one who is hurting, I am the one who
should bring some miserable divorce papers…but
I thought of you…I thought of hope, faith and a
miracle…I thought of my vow to you on that altar.
In sickness and in health remember?”, she smiled
through her tears, “all of a sudden you are as
weak as a baby…looking in your eyes, I can see
you suddenly have lost all your guards, You are
so wicked”
“Sara…” Lawson fell on his knees, torn.
“No!” She quickly fell on her knees too, “No
Lawson…” She couldn’t bear to see him cry
“I’m…I’m infertile”, he cried, “What is left of me?”
he searched his wife’s eyes
“Lawson please…” she held his face, “I
understand…it has been so hard for me…I have
put myself in your shoes since the first day…”
“You don’t deserve this…you deserve better…I
can’t believe I scorned you all along…please let
me leave you”
“No” she shook her head, “You are my husband. I
won’t leave you. I won’t let you leave me…I
believe in miracles”
“I’m doomed…Sara I’m doomed…”He allowed his
wife take him in her arms and on her shoulder he
wept like a child.
In the Morning
Sara gently opened her eyes, looking beside her
bed…it was empty. She quickly sat up on seeing a
note gently placed on the bed. Hands shaking, she
opened the letter to read.
Sara,
I cannot bear the shame. I have treated you so
unfairly, yet you love me still, you are with me
even in this condition of mine. To think that you
knew all along and you never for once gave me a
clue that it is my fault we are in this mess, makes
me so unworthy of you.
I love you enough to let you build another life with
a man who can make you happier. I’m torn Sara
and all I ask is your forgiveness. I have always
loved you and if you truly love me then please
start your life over again…without me…I am truly
sorry for disappointing you.
Lawson.
Sara couldn’t control the tears. She couldn’t think
straight anymore. She picked her cell phone,
shaking…
“Hi Mr. Lawson’s office please”
“Hi Lola…” she cried, “have you seen my husband
today?”
“No…no ma’am, we’ve been expecting him at
work. He has a presentation is fifteen minutes”
“Oh God…God…” Sara dipped her hand in her full
hair.
“Everything ok ma’am?”
“Thank you” she ended the call.
She quickly got down from the bed and in her
pyjamas she ran into her car. She dialed his
number repeatedly as she drove…no answer.
At 2:00pm
She sped into Fred’s compound, a close friend to
her husband.
“Fred!” she banged the door hastily till the door
flung open
“My God Sara what’s wrong?” Fred held her.
“It’s…it’s Lawson…have you seen him? is he
here?”
“No…Haven’t heard from him in a week”
“Oh God” she held her hair
“What’s wrong?”
But she was already walking away into her car.
“Sara!” He called after her.
She zoomed away.
4:30pm
“Mom, Dad, I can’t find Lawson…I can’t find your
son…” she cried as she paced in front of the two
who looked lost.
“You have to calm down and tell us what
happened” Lawson’s mother put her arms around
Sara.
Sara burst into tears, “Please Dad could you try
his number, maybe he’d pick your call?”
“Have you been to his office?” He picked his
cellphone and dialed his son’s number.
“I have been everywhere I know him to be likely
available”
“It’s ok…calm down please” Lawson’s mother pet
her.
“He’s not picking. What exactly went wrong
between you two?” Lawson’s father searched
Sara’a eyes
9:00pm
Sara was still in her pyjamas and on her way
back home, exhausted and stuck in the traffic.
She had told Lawson’s parents everything. The
poor couple was so shattered and also begging
her to begin a new life. Sara buried her head on
the steering, crying; she hadn’t realized the green
light.
“Hey get off the freaking road!” a driver cursed
from behind her
“God please don’t let him harm himself…keep him
safe and lead me to him…please God…” she
quickly started the car and began to move.
Suddenly she remembered the church where they
wedded and took their vows. It was two hours
from here; she made a u-turn and headed for the
church hoping to find some peace.
She tiredly got down from the car, drenched and
exhausted. She trudged into the open entrance of
the church. She paused for a moment; shocked…
it was Lawson sitting at the front row of the empty
church, facing the altar.
“Lawson!” She began to run towards him, happy,
relieved that he was ok.
“Sara?” He quickly stood as she approached him,
“Sara…”
They both ran into each other’s arms. He hugged
her so tightly
“I looked for you everywhere….thi s was the last
place I thought you’d ever be…I just came and I
saw you…Lawson….I’m so happy you are ok” she
touched his face
“I didn’t know where else to go…It just feels like I
cant face the world anymore…” he slowly
released her from his embrace.
“Take my hand” Sara stretched out her hand,
“C’mon, just take it”
Lawson gently clasped his hand into hers and she
took him to the altar and stood to face him. She
searched his eyes so deeply and hadn’t seen him
so weak and helpless.
“Five years ago Lawson, we both stood on this
altar. Remember our vows? Remember you
whispered in my ear never to leave you. I told
you I wouldn’t…that’s why I’m here. I am your
wife Lawson, I am meant to be with you forever,
though the bad and good times. We’ve had good
times, why would I leave you now? All I want from
you is to believe that you can still give me a child
despite what the result said…I want you to believe
in a miracle”, she held his face, “remember when
you told me I was a miracle in your life?…our
children will be our miracles too. Trust God with
me because I know it won’t be long…”
“Who are you Sara…” Lawson was weak with her
words.
“The one who vowed to be with you till the end”
she smiled through her thin tears
“God I love you so much Sara” He hugged her
again.
“So will you come back home with me?” Sara
searched his eyes.
“I have no other place to call home” He placed a
soft kiss on her lips.
2 years after
Lawson and Sara were on the sofa watching a
late night movie. Sara was resting on his
shoulders when she felt the movement
“Lawson Lawson, it moved again…don’t miss it
this time touch touch” she gently placed his palm
on the side of the stomach. Both felt the
movement of their child
“I can feel him…I can feel him” Lawson placed
his head on her belly
“I can feel him growing each day inside of me…”
“What do you think its saying now by this
movement?”
“Thank you dada for believing in me” she
laughed. They both laughed “The movement has
stopped” he slowly removed his head from her
stomach, “I think he’s sleeping”
Sara rested on his shoulders again, “In six
months you’d be a father, “You finally got your
miracle”
Lawson tilted his wife’s face to him, looking into
her eyes, “Sara…you were the miracle I needed.
Thank you for not leaving me.”
Sara tickled his nose with hers, “I love you too.
Always will”, she smiled, “We missed a whole lot
on our movie”
“Movie can wait, but this can’t” He gently planted
a kiss on her belly.

Sometimes we forget our vows so easily, so quickly,
that once our marriages start hitting the rocks, we
fail to realize that there is power in union. When
there is union, every mountain can be subdued.
Second, the concept of marriage is ‘for better, for worse’.
The ‘worse’ moments always come. I am not
saying expect bad things, I’m saying that
challenges come in marriage to make you
stronger in oneness so don’t use it against
yourselves.
Second, miracles are real.
Remember your vows each day, enjoy your
marriage, you deserve it!
May God heal all broken marriages in Jesus
Name.
