One day a tourist comes to the only hotel in a debt ridden town..... he drop a 100 dollar note on the table.... & goes to inspect the rooms in the hotel....D Hotel owner takes the note & rushes to pay his debt to the butcher........….Butcher runs to pay the pig farmer..... Pig farmer runs to pay the feed supplier....... Supplier runs to pay the prostitute.., who in these hard times gave her services on credit..... The Hooker then runs to pay off her debt to the same hotel owner for the rooms she rented for her clients....... Hotel owner then lays the 100 dollar note back on the counter.

The tourist comes down..., takes his money & leave as he did not like the
rooms......No one earned anything......But the town is now without debt & looks to the future with a lot of optimism.....and that is how the world is doing business today...Imagine dat......Happy Weekend

The guy claims to love her me but doesn't want her me to know where he lives. She I has asked if he is married but he denys. He is quite young and doesn't look married but each time she I wants to visit he keeps bringing up excuses.

So what could prompt such an attitude.

Pls no insult guys, if you have nothing reasonable to say just move on.

One of the most shocking stories was that of Nneka and Kenneth Ojielo, a couple who died in the accident. Theirs is a story that will bring tears to many eyes.

Kenneth had not seen his wife of 22 years in the last 10 years until Thursday, the day before they both perished in the crash.

Nneka’s younger brother, Ogonna Abako, told Saturday PUNCH, “Kenneth travelled to Austria in 2003 in search of greener pastures. Before he left, they already had five children. Their eldest child is 21.

“They actually got married very early. Kenneth was 26 years old when they got married while my sister was about 20 years old at the time. Everybody was joyous when we heard he was coming home.

“My sister travelled to Lagos from Enugu on Wednesday (two days before the accident). On Thursday, I took her to the airport to welcome her husband. No one could separate them when Kenneth eventually came out with his luggage. They kissed for about 15 minutes and everybody around just stood watching.”

A picture of the joyous reunion taken by Ogonna’s wife on her mobile phone at the airport showed a couple with much happiness written all over their faces.

But that joy was short-lived.

I stand in the gap to pray "Everything that wants to terminate or cut short our joy/life will take our place in Jesus name"!

RIP! to the dead and May the Almighty comfort their families.

udemen26: I and my girl friend has been dating for over 16months now, we both loves our self’s, but the way her mother is constantly asking me for money is making me angry. not just me alone, she also ask her daughter the same way. i have told my girl about it and she went to confront her mother never to do that again in a polite manner. but still the mother won't stop asking me for me and i don't know how to tell her I don't have money to give her. i really don't know if she is doing it because she known’s i truly love her daughter. we both re partime student and we re doing a little pay job to assist our self in school. am 25yrs and she is 22yrs old. my girl friend mother attitude is causing problem to my relationship with her daughter. this all thing is making me to think always. am now regretting that i wish i know the first time she ask me for money i wouldn't have giving it to her or i should have just told her i don't have money. since then almost twice everymonth she will always ask for money. please i need advice on what to do. some times i feel like ending the relationship i have with her daughter. but still is difficult to do because I love my girl very wel. pls i need a candid advice.pls. sorry for some errors in my writing.

Simply say "I don't have" and stick to it! but do it politely. When U refuse her more than once, she will learn her lesson or better avoid seeing her as much as possible.


Cheers!

Sorry for your predicament! I wish you the best in your search!

WISHING ALL NAIRALANDERS FAIR WINDS IN THE INTERVIEW


Cheers!

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon, the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way. "I wrote: 'Today is a beautiful day; but I cannot see it.'"Both signs told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people how fortunate they were to have their sight. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective? Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative. Be innovative. Think differently and positively. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear. Keep the faith and drop the fear. It's a beautiful thing to see a person smiling. But even more beautiful is knowing that you are the reason for the smile!Faith is not about everything turning out OK. Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out. If you appreciate this message, please share. You may touch someone's heart today and forever

4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

5 One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

6 He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. (Rom. 14:4-6a)

Cassius stood at rigid attention in front of the commanding officer of Jerusalem's military cohort. "Centurion," the officer barked, "explain yourself! One of your squads was assigned to guard a tomb, a dead man. What could be so hard about that? Now I'm hearing rumors that the body is missing? Tell me this is all a mistake!"
"Sir, may I be frank, one old soldier to another?" asked the Centurion. He and the Tribune went back a long way, though the Tribune was of the equestrian class, and he a mere commoner.
"Please, Cassius," he said somewhat more gently, and motioned for the Centurion to take a seat.
"I must beg your indulgence, sir," Cassius began. "The story actually begins weeks ago."
"Take your time," the Tribune said, relaxing somewhat.
"Ever since this Jesus began preaching around Jerusalem, we thought he might be some kind of revolutionary bent on stirring up the populace with his talk of the Kingdom of God. But I went and listened to him, sir. He was no threat. Thousands would sit in rapt attention as he would talk about his Father, and loving your neighbor, forgiveness from past sins, and beginning a new life. It was fascinating, sir. Made you feel like he cared about you personally, he did."
The Tribune was resting his chin on his hand. "Go on, soldier."
"The next I saw him, we had been ordered to stand guard outside the Governor's official residence. The crowd was getting ugly. Pontius Pilate was sitting up there on the judgment seat and Jesus stood before him. Someone had roughed him up a bit, sir.
"What did you expect, Centurion?"
"Finally," Cassius continued, "Pilate motioned for silence. 'I find no crime in this man,' he called out. Then he tried to set Jesus free. He asked them to choose between Barabbas--a known murderer and rebel--and Jesus."
"And now that criminal Barabbas is walking free again."
"Jews from the ruling Sanhedrin were shouting, 'Crucify him! Crucify him!' The rabble took up the cry. It was touch and go for a minute there, sir. Then Pilate called for a basin, and began to wash his prissy little hands ...."
"Centurion, I'll allow no disrespect," the Tribune said sharply.
"Yes sir, but you know Jesus was innocent, pure and simple. He had just offended some powerful priests. But when Pilate saw how the wind was blowing he went along. I thought Rome was about law and justice, not expediency."
"Ruling is sometimes dirty business, Centurion," interjected the Tribune.
"So is soldiering, sir. On your orders one of my squad was picked to scourge the man."
"Oh, they enjoyed it well enough," said the Tribune. "That tall soldier ... Publius, wasn't it? He flogged like a madman, as I recall, with the metal tips of the scourge biting into his back until the skin lay in tatters and blood ran free."
"Few times in my career have I been sickened by blood," commented Cassius, "but to see an innocent man treated with such cruelty...."
"I don't recall you stopping them from dressing him in a purple robe with a reed for a scepter and a crown of thorns. Oh, they were having fun, all right."
"I've crucified hundreds in my time," Cassius replied, "but this man was different. He didn't curse. He didn't whimper. He was half-dead already from the beating Publius gave him, and he fell on the way to Golgotha."
"Fell?"
"He was just too weak to carry the cross, so we conscripted a strong Cyrenean to carry it. Then we crucified Jesus."
"All men die the same."
"Not like he did," replied Cassius. "We spiked him to the cross-bar and hoisted it onto the upright, but I'll never forget his prayer: 'Father forgive them, for they don't know what they're doing.' Sir, I was responsible for killing him, and he forgave me."
"Haven't you been a soldier too long to be troubled by a guilty conscience, Cassius?"
"Then the thief crucified next to him asked to be remembered when Jesus came into his kingdom."
"His kingdom!" the Tribune sneered.
"But listen to his answer: 'Today you will be with me in paradise.' Amazing! About noon, Tribune, the sky grew dark. Everyone saw it, and felt the cold chill when he cried, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?' He sounded like the loneliest man in the world, hanging in the darkness. He spoke scarcely a word until three in the afternoon when he shouted, almost triumphantly, 'It is finished!' And, if you listened closely, you could hear him whisper, 'Into your hands I commit my spirit.'
"At that very moment the ground began to tremble and roll," said Cassius. "Knocked me to the ground for a moment. And then the darkness began to lift. I tell you, Tribune, that was no mere man we crucified, he was the Son of God."
"A few freak coincidences and you're willing to declare him divine? He's just as dead as anyone."
"No, Tribune, he's not."
"He's not?"
"The chief priests and Pharisees insisted that Pilate guard the tomb so Jesus' disciples wouldn't steal the body."
"I know. I ordered it."
"We posted three men around the clock, relieved every eight hours as regulations call for. I sealed the tomb before they began. It was secure."
"So, what's this rumor that the body is gone?"
"It is gone, sir."
"I'll have your hide, Centurion!" the Tribune shouted, rising to his feet.
Cassius stood, too, but went on. "About seven o'clock Sunday morning, sir, the three soldiers on duty came running into the barracks like they'd seen a ghost. 'Centurion! Centurion!' they shouted. 'He's alive!' I got them calmed down, and made them tell me every detail.
"Their shift had begun about midnight," he said. They had been wide awake all night--telling stories about their girlfriends back home most of the time, I understand. Then, just before dawn, they said the garden tomb lit up as if it were high noon, and an angel with garments like lightning came and rolled the stone away from the tomb. They just sat there trembling. Then one of them got up-- Publius, I think they said--and looked in the tomb. The body was gone, and the graveclothes were lying on the limestone shelf wrapped round and round, but no body in them."
"You expect me to believe that?" the Tribune responded disdainfully.
"I questioned them closely. Each looked. Each saw the same thing. The body was gone."
"They must have fallen asleep, and told a story to cover themselves."
"They were battle-hardened veterans, sir, not some green troops. I know those men. Besides, sir, you'd think the sound of people trying to roll a huge stone would awaken sleeping soldiers. No, they were telling the truth, all right."
"What do you expect me to tell people, Centurion? That he rose from the dead?"
"I don't know what you're going to tell them, Tribune, but that's what happened. He's alive. I tell you, he's alive!"
"We'll tell the soldiers to say they fell asleep and his disciples stole the body," suggested the Tribune.
"What soldier is willing to say he fell asleep?" asked Cassius with a thin smile on his face.
"We'll pay them to say it," said the Tribune. "The chief priests owe us. They'll come up with a goodly sum to bury this story.... I'll take care of it from here on out, Centurion. You didn't see anything. You don't know anything. Got it?"
"But I do know, and I did see, Tribune. I can't change what happened. Jesus is out there alive. More than alive."
"Forget this ever happened, Cassius."
"Forget it if you can, sir. But with all respect, Jesus is alive, and that changes everything."
