its a pity sha that some of you still insult men of God either real or fake.
Why not allow judgement for God.
The Lawyer in the first place wanted to reap where he did not sow.
Did the Slapee went to him or he just choose to be an activist?
Why didnt he take up Farouk and Otedola case?
That Layer should have life and stop deceiving himself.

Nairaland rules and regulation by Seun

I will start this weekend's
admonition by a tale told by an
unknown author. It is originally
called the pebble and the ripples.
A man was sitting by a lake. He
was throwing small pebbles into
it from time to time. A young boy
happened to cross by. He was
intrigued to see that after every
few minutes or so, the man
would toss a pebble into the lake.
The boy went up to the man and
said, "Good pastime, this stone
throwing, he?" "Hmmm, said the
man. He seemed to be deep in
thought and obviously did not
wish to be disturbed.
Sometime later, the man said
softly, "Look at the water, it is
absolutely still." The boy said,
"Yeah, it is."
The man tossed a pebble into the
water and continued, only till I
toss a pebble into it now do you
see the ripples?"
Yeah, said the boy, "they spread
further and further."
"And soon, the water is still
again, offered" the man.
The boy said. "Sure, it becomes
quiet, after a while."
The man continued, "What if we
want to stop the ripples? The
root cause of the ripples is the
stone. Let’s take the stone out. Go
ahead and look for it." The boy
put his hand into the water and
tried to take the stone out.
But he only succeeded in making
more ripples. He was able to take
the stone out, but the number of
ripples that were made in the
process were a lot more than
before.
The wise man said, "It is not
possible to stop the movement of
the water once a pebble has
been thrown into it. But if we
can stop ourselves from
throwing the pebble in the first
place, the ripples can be avoided
altogether! So too, it is with our
minds. If a thought enters into it,
it creates ripples. The only way to
save the mind from getting
disturbed is to block and ban the
entry of every superfluous
thought that could be a potential
cause for disturbance. If a
disturbance has entered into the
mind, it will take its own time to
die down. Too many conflicting
thoughts just cause more and
more disturbances. Once the
disturbance has been caused it
takes time to ebb out. Even trying
to forcibly remove the thought
may further increase the turmoil
in the mind.
Before you allow a thought or a
piece of information to enter
your mind, put it through the
triple filter test of authenticity,
goodness and value.
Only few years back, to go
through the University, it cost a
few hundreds, gradually it was
just a few thousand and one got
a qualitative education from w
world class universities that they
once were. But what happened,
we threw pebbles into that
water.
Libraries have given way to
Google, sadly in the ivory towers,
students become graduates
without visiting a library except
for the flimsy excuse of bind a
pirated and plagiarized copy of
their terminal paper called
project.
This same nation that is battling
unemployment without even a
proper statistical data of how
many that were unemployed,
whether half-baked, unbaked or
over-baked was once the same
that offered holiday jobs for
University students, same nation
that left you with a choice of job
after your first leaving school
certificate.
In those days before you and I
threw pebbles into the water,
after Primary 6 then, you picked
from the old Nigerian Railway,
P&T, ECN and such.
There was corruption, but how
much of it, the slide may have
begun, because we were
throwing pebbles already, but
we stole less, there were few
Fraouks and Otedolas and the
theft were in few thousands, but
today we steal in billions and in a
nation with all the poor, a few
Nigerians can afford a Bugatti
Vyeron, world's most expensive
and fastest car at N400milion in
Nigeria... a car that has only 300
units in the world.
Honesty was still a virtue, shares
were not over-subscribed and
banks did not just collapse, few
banks and , bankers, both
chartered and tattered, but
depositors monies did not just
disappear like these days of ATMs
and mega profits and sacking of
same bankers who supposedly
make the profits by selling their
bodies.
Many of us reading this, spent,
one naira, fifty kobo, ten kobo, I
have left out those that even
spent the shillings. Today after
throwing pebbles into the
Nigerian waters of progress,
economically, politically, and
otherwise, I know for a fact that
our children will see these
denominations in the few
museums that are still
functionally, they will never
spend it, even as we seek to
introduce more worthless higher
currencies.
We are almost done mourning
the Dana plane crash but have
quickly forgotten how our
pebbles at old reliable Nigerian
airways turned it into death
airways before it was liquidated.
It was a lovely nation with good
memories, we wrote essays of
"how we spent our last holidays",
were taught how to write in
formal and informal ways, and all
that mathematics some of us
found hard to understand but
was fun, today the ripples of our
pebbles is one that has seen us
embrace technology without
caution and progress. Okay
became kk or just k, love, became
luv, or lv, we know lol...laugh out
loud at our collective amnesia.
There was this friend of ours,
served in Sokoto, he married an
Hausa girl from Sokoto during
the NYSC program, he was not
only given a cow but the
wedding was sponsored by the
State government. Then, you
were posted to 'angeligidi, in
munafirchi state and you went,
taught in an Local Education
Authority Primary School, and left
with life experiences, but now
our pebbles only show how no
one really wants to serve in those
places we know, and how some
serve in their father's house.
Our pebbles birthed Boko Haram,
the political ones in GEJ's
government, the criminal ones,
the terrorists that have redefined
our lives and collective brotherly
way of living...Now we are like
Afghanistan like 'Nigerianstan', in
some parts and like Somali like
'kidnapli or is it Nigeriali'.
Fact is that, we need ask, is there
a Nigerian project, and with not
just the pebbles but stones we
are hauling at the project, what
becomes of it, only time will tell.

highlight for part 2.
Watchout for part 2 from tomorrow.

Mentality!
U sekx her on first date, why should you think otherwise?
I bet many guys saying they cant would be the one rushing for it if they discover she's rich.
Why wont you exercise patience to relate and know if she is the missing rib?

please, any combat game and real football for Nokai 303 screentouch? Thanks.

kunletiwoo: Kinda sound like mine... Happy for u bro.

i was d one that sent u d mail, but didn't get to see your response.

i got my present job by applying for any civil Engineering job online.
It pay off one night when i connect my modem to seach my yahoomail and a message was sent to me that am having an interview in PH on Monday by 11Am and it was saturday night without a dime on me on in bank.
Sunday evening, i joined a night but to PH from KD and was calling a man i latter know to be d internal control of the COY. i got to PH by 2pm and they've already concluded d interview but the guy i kept calling has already intimate the panel about my coming and they re convene for the interview and i was successful.
although, its not common this way but i thank God for mercy and my unresistable CV for that particular position.
update always.

i was just thinking about what usually go on in the mind of a white man whenever an african is in their midst.

For those of us who cherished the white skinned human from other continents, this is an extract from P.W Botha's speech of 1985 in South Africa;
what is your say on this?


We do not pretend like other Whites that we like Blacks. The fact that, Blacks look like human beings and act like human beings do not necessarily make them sensible human beings. Hedgehogs are not porcupines and lizards are not crocodiles simply because they look alike. If God wanted us to be equal to the Blacks, he would have created> us all of a uniform colour and intellect. But he created us differently

please and please stop such Jokes!

I don't like seasonal Movies.
This probe is becoming a seasonal movie which dont usually have an end.

Nigerians are bunch of lazy and dirty people.
I discovered that most of this areas covered by flood had drainage system from the onset. But as a typical Nigerians, we are waiting for government to always desilt the drainages whenever its silted and before you know it, the drainage will vanish as if it never exist.
Nigerians, we all need a re-orientation.

doctokwus: I don't understand d link btw d dilapidated structures he captured& d place stinking of corruption.On what basis has he so concluded,av d top brass bn given money for projects dat dey embezzled.A place bein dilapidated does not necessarily mean its stinking of corruption,moreso wen d op cannot show evidence of a contract awarded,money released,but not executed.Dnt rush to conclude d DG is corrupt,d rot cud b frm d ministry itself or evn further up

. Please dont defend lies by acting as if u don't understand what he means.

Hi, B.Eng Civil
experience in transportation Engineerinng(Road)

Dont you think that, its possible to have a free spirited babe that is well cultured? Ladies with standard from my experience are only good managers of the family activities but fall short in terms of Emotions cos they will kill you with nagging at home!Gbam

his layer says he's not dead but in a coma.

Fresh crisis was reported in Tundun wada area of Kaduna and has degenerated to all part of the State. Details soon.

CHAIN wishes to remind the
Nigerian public and the
Presidency that Tirkania, one
of the areas a church was
attacked, is said to be where
one suspected Boko Haram
sponsor was arrested and
released and the case has
remained unaddressed.
“The understanding of CHAIN
is that the Presidency needs
to clean up its house as we
cannot be sure anything has
been done to counter the
increasing threat to the
rights to freedom of worship
of Christians in northern

the whole Tensin has shifted down to Trikania the starting point of the crisis yestarday. The hausas want to retaliate at all cost even with the presence of security personel. God help my family over there in Trikania.

Less than 30min after the Zaria blast, another bomb blast in Shallom Church Kaduna town. This particular blast has degenerated into rioting within the location of Shallom church. Sporadic gunshot everywhere Between Christians n Muslims.

shymmex: You know I'm always ready, and I'm not coward.. If Nigerians are ready for a change, I'll be on the next flight to Lagos..

I've never really lived in Naija, and I don't know the terrain - so it will be difficult for me to come there, as a lone voice in a country of 120-150million arguing for a change.. When Nigerians are ready to stop being docile cowards, they know where to find me.

young man, most of us are not docile as u say. there must always be a way to ease stress just like the OP. if u live in Africa, u will knw we dont respect human right and standing up might just be dangerous cos is d same masses dat wont be able to bear the outcome.
