daisy123:
Are you against God WHO sed men shud get married and multiply? Or do you support the antichrist who supports gay marriage instead of getting married to women ? DON'T BE MISLEAD BY THIS !!!

If you are a true Christian as you claimed, you will humbly realized that, the Bible also supports the OP's position. On this subject the Bible sees it both ways...

1 Cor 7:8 says.."Now to the unmarried[a] and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do."

1 Cor 7:24-27.."Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God....Art thou bound unto a wife?seek not to be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek not a wife.

Matt 19:12.."For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it"

The definition of eunuch:
Natural eunuchs include those who are born with a physical defect, but they also comprise those who are born with no real desire for marriage or sex. Forced eunuchs are those who have been castrated for whatever reason. Voluntary eunuchs are those who, in order to better serve the Lord in some capacity, choose to forego marriage. God calls some people to remain single (and therefore celibate)

Princecalm:
did i just hear you say God regreted bringing Eve to earth,don't you know that God is perfect.

I am not totally taking sides on this, but the OP made some very valid points....A man is never the same again, when he gets married. That is why it is important that, you have a direction in life, know your destination, get a job before you get marry.

And, there is nothing like 'love' or the 'one'....Love is in the eyes of the beholder and it means different things to different people....To Bisi love is a 6 feet tall man, with good manners, smiles, goes to church, from a good family, etc....but to Mary, love could mean any guy that can pay her bills....yet to Nkechi, love could be a man from her tribe, who is educated, etc...You cannot say Bisi's definition of love is more better and tangible than Mary's...both of them are happy...Bisi got her God fearing man and Mary got a guy that pays her bills and they both got love and they are happy...You might say..but Mary's is focus on temporary earthly things..what if the guy stop paying her bills, or got poor...well there is no guarantee that Bisi's object of love will not backslide, stop going to church, etc....

The truth is the Genesis 6:6 states and I quote "And the Lord regretted that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him to his heart"

You can slide and dice it all you want, but the plain truth of that scripture indicated without ambiguity that God regretted creating man and it grieved him for doing so.

Adam was just fine in the Garden before Eve came into the picture, he never questioned God's commands, instructions....we all know what happened when evi came into the picture.

Guys should stop deceiving themselves that the Ladies are looking for 'love' even the so called born again christian sisters...they all have a bucket load of qualities they are looking for in a guy...once they match about 80%-90% of those things to a guy, then they will fall in "love"...if there is such a thing as unconditional love, why are the spirit filled, good manner brothers, who are truckpushers, carpenters, bricklayers, etc in church not getting married? Are they not also children of God?...If that same brother wins America visa lottery, I beat you Sis. Fumi or Tayo will see a vision and fall in "love" or she will start nursing regrets why she did not fall in "love" before now.

Again, I do not subscribe to some of the views of the OP, but the truth is sometime bitter...I love kids, I want to have kids with my wife...I understand that marriage is not a bed of roses, it is a continual daily work, I also understand that a good marriage is not auto-pilot and as a single man, you have lesser things to worry about, you have more time for focus on your passion, career, business, etc.

For N160/yearly, I think it is a wise thing to support Whatsapp, the owners spend money to keep the service running. Those that cheats on a $1/year subscription will be the first to complain when the service goes down or if the company stops the service.

Look up the meaning of 'gift' in the dictionary, you do not get gifts back, it is a gift.

However, anything given in anticipation of a promise or some future event can be taken back, if that promise or future event did not take place...e.g. you can request and get the engagement ring back, if the wedding did not take place.

kmaz:
W.H.O is expected to declare Nigeria an Ebola - free nation today after successfully completing over 21days incubation period since the last known case.

Little correction, a country is declared free after twice the virus incubation period had elapsed and no new reported case since the last reported case.

The last report case in Nigeria was on September 5, hence Nigeria will get her 42 days certificate today, Monday.

What percentage is an 'A' in Nigeria Universities today? Is it still 70% and above?

If it is, they should raise it up. An 'A' is 90% and above here, 70% is a 'C' and could also be a 'D' depending on the course.

This will ensure that, Nigeria First Class products can compete on equal footing with first class everywhere.

Note that, I am not saying that Nigeria graduates can't compete globally, we have been holding our hold and even besting people from other countries, my point is regarding the grading system.

People kind dey lie o!

Na so dem deceive us say rainbow get seven color, see rainbow...I still dey count and enofer reach seven, I dey short about 2 or 3 colors.

Why are most people saying, it is a lie?

I am one of those, who is quick to critize GEJ, but on this front, he is telling the truth, the only problem is, it is not an achievement. The main question, would have been that; 'What percentage of living wages has been achieved"

His comment can be easily verified by anyone as follows:

I don't know what the poverty guideline is in Nigeria, but I will use that of the US:

Poverty guideline for a single individual for 2014 is about $11,000.00/pa. Since the minimum wage in the US is about $9/hr, it means that the poverty guideline is approximately about 60% of the minimum wage.

All GEJ need to do, is to create jobs or cause to create jobs whose wages are about 40% less than the minimum wage in Nigeria; if those jobs outpace net increase in the employable population in Nigeria to a tune of 50%, then he is right.

Using N18,000.00 as minimum wage in Nigeria; that will be a job paying at least N10,800.00/monthly.

Now, it is another question if, 60% if minimum wage can sustain someone in Nigeria, since they are not living wages.

So what GEJ is basically saying is that, they have increased the number of people making at least N10,800.00/monthly by 50%, you now see why I indicated above that, it is not an achievement as those wages cannot sustain a family of one, in today's Nigeria economy.

Princesschi: I'm impatiently waiting for d day wen people would start using '2x-3y = y' in real life.

Whoever invented maths...hmm no comment sha

Without that 2x-3y=y your keyboard will not work, your PC will not work and we all be transformed to the Stone Age.

80% of Wall Street runs on Algorithm, street lights runs on Algorithm, your manufacturing plant runs on Algorithm, there are Pharmacies today that runs on Algorithm, large multinational companies run that customer service center on Algorithm, etc and what is Algorithm, you may ask? It is simply the step by step process if carrying out a calculation from the known to the unknown which is a branch of Mathematic, the same process used to calculate y above.

What you are thought at that level is not Mathematics, is it called Arithmetic.

Now ask the question again, if Art students should pass Arithmetic, which us defined as consisting of the study of numbers and their properties namely: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

If you carry any WACE syllabus, that is all that is required of you. You do not computability, you do not Complexity, you do not Algorithm, etc.

Except there is something else you are not revealing, I think you have your priorities wrong by making bring NYSC into the picture. If your computation realistically indicates that you will make 2.1 by staying an extra year, then go for it...there is always the next NYSC batch after the next one, followed by the next one, year in and year out.

Now, a 2.1 does not guarantee anything; at the end of the day your success depends on your, there are many 3rd class that are successful and many 1st class that are not doing okay. However, a 2.1 presents more opportunities in front of you, what you do with those opportunities is what makes the difference and also remember that, you might not have the opportunity of getting another 2.1, unlike the NYSC.

Which one the Nairalander, the dark or the black one?

This is very bad and will aid the spread of the ebola virus. If an infected person goes there....Imagine an infected person touching and turning the knob to let out water to wash his/her hand and through that contact, transfers the virus to the knob....now here come someone behind who is not infected, as he/she touches that know, he/she get some dose of it the virus...Yes, some will be washed off into the container below, but not all of them...

Moreso, this is virus and not bacteria, the key to not getting infected in this case is to avoid contact by all means...but by creating an object of common contact by the general public, the bank is not helping the situation, they are merely creating a melting pot and breeding ground for ebola.

One don't almost need this list, the names are so fake that, it must take someone who is so desperate or daft to enroll in those schools.

Scyllapatron: I thought they said our medicine is a pesticide?? they want only them to handle ebola so they can milk infested countries of their mineral resources in exchange for ebola vaccine??

Dude, you cannot treat or cure a virus infection.....All the best drugs out there can do is to nurture the body, provide enough fluid, strength and most importantly, elongate the live of the sufferer, this way our body's natural immune system can build enough anti-body and defenses to overcome and defeat the virus.

Also, on another note, the Nigeria Minister of Health came out yesterday and announced that, they did not use the Nano Silver and that the medicine did not pass their laboratory evaluation test..google it.

jnrremedy: FDA recently approved a nano silver based drug called SilvrSTAT as an antimicrobial drug (u can google the drug) hw on earth will they approve it as a drug and claim later that it is a pesticide. Its evident sometin is fishy

SilvrSTAT is not an ingestible drug, it is an antibacterial for external treatment of wounds...

Arnoldo: you are a fool.......that was discovered by a Nigerian scientist in diaspora... and can't u see u.s don't want to give us......y not test it b4 castigating it?....and what has our minister of health done wrong boffun!!!!!!!

Do some research and educate yourself before calling someone a fool ... Nano-silver is not new and this is not the first time it has been paraded as the miracle bullet that cures all known and unknown disease that have/will befall man.

Do a little google on nano-silver and you will surprise that it cures headach, HIV, fever, lapalapa, disentary, low sperm count, infertility, sickle cell, high blood pressure, cholesterol, stomach and they say it cures ebola...use your head.

AdeniyiA: Well, they didn't say specifically that nano silver can't cure Ebola virus. i quote

They're just expressing their biased view

Is not biased view, FDA warning against nano-silver is not new...they have been warning against nano-silver for decades now and nano-silver is not new.

People parading nano-silver as cure, do that to line up their pockets with your money.

Nano-silver is been paraded as the miracle cure for all non disease, name the disease they will say nano-silver cures, it fraud don't carry water for these Oyibl fraudsters.

Kx: The youtube video below says WHO, FDA and USA ARE not saying the truth.
It strongly affirms that Ebola is curable only with the same much alligned NANO SILVER.
Na oyibo talk am o.

Throw this in the dustbin, she is promoting her product and if you believe her, nano-silver cures all communicable diseases, name the disease...and all you need is nano-silver, I guess that includes HIV too...

It is very unfortunate that people like these will use this epidemic to promote their greed on vulnerable populace and will handily help them to propagate and pepetuate this rubbish.

onihaxy: Sue them for wetin. Does he has a copyright for it?. Or does nairaland has a copyright for his writers on this forum?. Try your luck sha.

One of the dullest bulbs in the room. Copyright is not like patent or trademark that you have to apply for or register.

Even unregistered patents and trademarks have common law protection albeit weak compare to registered ones that have statutory protections.

His work is automatically protected i.e. If he can prove that it is his work, it is the law that makes it illegal when you copy a Nollywood DVD.

The only caveat here is that, I think Seun or Nairaland might have a better claim against the magazine compare to the OP...if you read Nairaland disclaimers when you signed up for your account and when you were posting the article, you will notice that, you willingly gave up some of your rights immediately you hit the submit button.

The other argument is, the OP's work might not be deemed original since the pictures were not taken by him and he did not obtain the consent of the people...but since the pictures appeared on a latter post and not the post with the article, the OP can argument that, the pictures are not part if his work and his case will be stronger.

In any case, the OP should pursue this case, he should not let it go, buy several copies of the magazine, read up on Nigeria laws regarding copyright, read up all Nairaland's disclosure and terms then contact icon magazine and see what they say....make sure to download and locally store your old nairaland article with dates, blogs, plus your other works...take screen shots, download the pages/blog, there are many free app online you can use to download websites to your hard drive....you do not want to leave your evidence under the control of someone else, even if you trust them to show up, when you critically need the evidence...

Pictures or it aren't true.

nkenu: Liberia request was granted while that of Nigeria wasnt. Chaiiiii USA, this Ebola drugs you are using Almighty formula to share, there is God ooooooooo!!!!!!

You know that, the US has more affinity towards Liberia than other African Countries right?

Liberia came into existence at the end of the Slave trade in the US and it is where the US shipped all freed slaves that wanted to go back to Africa and the US sees them as a quasi-extension of African-Americans and have been assisting and supporting them ever since.

I think you people should get your facts straight before rushing to needless and misplaced judgements on Nollyhood....

I believe that, the poster is fake and just the creativity work of someone with enough time and access to photoshop.

Even if it were true and there is a movie on Ebola in the making, the phone number on the poster is not a Nigerian number, it is Ghana's number and if this is true, the outrage should be directed towards the Ghana movie industry.

Disclaimer:
I am not affiliated with Nollyhood and not even like some of their movies...let give them genuinely deserved criticism.

pictures or it didn't happen.

Shydon: Who says the US cannot be dared! That's what the Russians are doing. Infact, it is high time the world witness the emergence of a different Super Power country; America has had enough just like the Great Britain in the 17th to the early 19th century. Their down fall is long overdue.

Evidently, the quest would be between China and Russia. But they must collaborate and seek strong alliance. Strong alliances have always prove to be the determinant of who is gonna be victor in intl warfare.

While you guys are getting hard-on because Russian was flying on international airspace, close to US border; where all comers like Nigeria can even fly to, if only we have capable jets...The US have successfully breached and performed reconnaissance inside Russian Airways and Waters; the Russians where able to detect one or two of these diversionary reconnaissance mission and took the bait in chasing them while the real intelligence gathering was taking place through other missions over Russian Airways and waterways.

The US Destroyer Truxtun has arrived on the Black Sea with about 300 sailor at Russian's backyard...

12 F-16 fighters and 300 US personnel has been sent to Poland for training in response to the crises in Ukraine.

5 US F-15 fighters and a KC-130 arrived in Lithuania recently for a training exercise.

My point is, Russian is surrounded by US war machine, men, artillery and power....any slight provocation, the US will descend on them from all directions, in this war spend is of the essence.

Off course, the US know the war capabilities of Russian and they are not understanding Russian in any sense, but Putin is well versed and not a fool to take on the US war machine, because he knows that, when the durst settled, though the US will suffer some destruction and casualties, it will be Russian that will be sent back to the stone age.

This is one of those What would Jesus do moments....

1. Limit the access of the afflicted and their neighbors from coming too close to hear the sermon on the mountain?

OR

2. Ask that the afflicted be brought to him for healing?

The answer is so obvious but, the flesh is weak, so we dance around it and seek a soft landing.

lanrefront1: I just use the above post as an example. There are many others similar to it.

The point is this: almost every commentator on this thread do not understand what the saying "when the wrong ones love you right".

Its not talking about un-reciprocated love which many are terming it to be.

If someone loves you and you don't feel like loving them back, then he/she is not loving you right because they simply are not the one for you.

"When the wrong one loves you right" means when a guy or girl comes along, exactly the type of person that you like, right type of beauty, right height, right built, right financial status, does the right thing says the right thing, considerate, kind-hearted, unselfish, cares deeply for you, but alas, he or her is the wrong person because:

Maybe he/she from OSU caste

Maybe you discover he has gone out with your elder sister some seven years ago

Maybe your parents wants you to marry an Ibo spouse and you've promised them you would and this person happens to be Yoruba or Hausa.

Maybe he is a Muslim and you happen to be a Christian girl, but you're at peace with him more than all the Christians brothers

Maybe after sometime you discover that you guys are second or third cousins


Maybe after a while, you discover that he or she is the child of your Father's business rival.

Maybe after a while, you discover he is a loan shark or she is or she is a singer who sings a night clubs for a living......

Etcetera and etcetera......


So guys, understand and start commenting rightly...

So what would you do when the wrong love you right?

I think you just changed the original intentions of the OP.... The OP even stated:

"I know i have loved someone that doesnt deserve me and i may have ignored some great guys who genuinely loved me. "

which contradicts your conclusions.

The illustration you gave is more suitable and somewhat applicable to "when you fall in love with the wrong person" than "when the wrong ones love you right".

Pipsland78: "You shall not make any cuts on your body for the dead or tattoo yourselves: I am the LORD." - Lev 19: 28

I sincerely hope you are also practicing these other Leviticus laws...?

It is against the Lord to harvest all your plants, crops, etc...
"And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather every grape of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the Lord your God." Lev 19:10

When you plant seeds, you are not allowed to mingle then, i.e. you cannot plant corn and tomatoes on the same piece of land...and your clothes must not be a mixture of linen and cotton...
"Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind: thou shalt not sow thy field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woollen come upon thee." Lev 19:19

You are not allowed to barb the corners of your head or the corner of your beard...
"Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou mar the corners of thy beard." Lev 19:27

It is forbidden to eat fat...
"It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood." Lev 3:17

You are not allowed to attend Church service for 33 days after you give birth to a boy...
" And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled." Lev 12:4

You are not allowed to attend Church service for 66 days after you give birth to a girl...
"But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days." Lev 12:5
