Don't shout at this man for his regrets but rather take a reflection on the path you have chosen for yourself. There are people we have done extraordinary things just to impress them. We all, one way or the other, are guilty of these actions.

The impressions of love are compelling and the desire to be extravagant to those whom we admire is overwhelming however, not wrong. It is the force of infatuation that drives the engine of wrong decisions.

There is only one person I live to impress......my Wife. I told her on the day we married that I will leave an everlasting impression of love and affection in her heart that when we finally depart this world, she will look for me in heaven. I have kept my promise.

Well done !!!

This woman have got grown up kids yet she has stayed in shape, living her dreams, fulfilling purpose.

Hate her or not, she is a proof that a woman regardless of her marital turmoil or relationship wrecks, can pick up the pieces of her broken heart and become what she wants to be in life.

So true.

When life throws you lemons, make lemonade. We all get different cards but at the end of the day, it’s about how you play the cards you’re dealt in life that counts.

This is so true, I remember when one of my colleagues told me that she had always wanted to tell me that she loves my accent. I was so flattered, no need changing and sounding fake in the process. #YouDoYou

There is usually somewhat of a struggle when we move into a higher state of awareness, and that is natural. The problems in life can be dreaded with fear, or they can be seen as opportunities for growth—and a challenge.

You must make up your own mind as to what you want to do. Consider all parts of your life, the financial and emotional included, and do what seems to be common sense. Then plan and work carefully.

Thanks for always sharing these nuggets of wisdom, they are like a cold drink on a hot summers day, so refreshing.

I wonder when he died or if he is still alive. Looks like a case of reincarnation, perhaps he couldn’t live the life he wanted and he decided to come back and live his truth via Bobrisky...Who knows?

The scripture is fulfilled. A virtuous woman shall be praised. Congratulations Iretiola Doyle!!! You have done very well well!!!

Do you intend to marry her? If Yes, the things to watch out for are:

Can she cook nutritious meals, not delicious, but healthy nutritious meals.

Can she maintain a very very clean environment, keeping home clean is a priority as well as fixing great organic meals? These will keep you and your family alive longer.

Do not marry a lady that drinks a lot or smokes weed. Not because they are bad, but a weed smoking girl can Bleep outside easily.

Beyond love is respect, if she respects you a lot and can keep your secrets, love is not important, sex is. Love will always wander on the direction of quiet desperation. No man or woman believe they have bleeped enough, they will always sneak out at least once in the life of their marriage. Expect the worse, but work hard to maintain the best.

Andrez123:
I still wonder why God created the devil when He knew that lucifer will ultimately be responsible for all the evil in the world today, wouldn't it been a tad easier for Adam and Eve and their descendants if He didn't create the devil. Assuming we are all part of God's masterplan then the devil is also part of it which means that all the evil and the good in the world is the perfect design by God, nobody should be responsible for their actions including the devil because all events have been predetermined by God. If God truly wanted the world to be perfect and pure, He would have made it so.

One of the funniest verses from the Bible was when it was said that God regretted creating man, Genesis chapter 6 vs 6. How can the Almighty God not forsee the future? A God is not supposed to be sorry for His actions or have regrets when He's omniscient.

Consider the hard facts, we are on a spaceship called earth that is moving at approx 67,000 mph we are orbiting a huge firery star that we call the sun, that is 149 km away from us at any given time. Perfection, that is what I see when I look at the cosmos.

For billions of years we have not collided with any of the other planets. We are suspended in space and yet we think the creator has made a mistake. I believe everything is just as it is supposed to be. We are all sharing an experience, our actions have effects on those around us as well as those who are yet to come as our ancestors made choices that effect us.

This is the way it is and I believe that this is the design. This is the will of the creator. This is the perfection if only we can recognise it.

I have read this from beginning to end. Pastor Chris should know that no two marriages are the same. This is what ruins marriages, unrealistic expectations.

There is no one size fits all approach, some families will be in big trouble if the wife waits for the husband to lead, in some cases it is just not his nature, in other cases he is simply ill equipped for leadership on certain areas of life. I have heard of men walking out of marriages because they are unable to meet these kind of expectations. I am in no way defending these men but we must appreciate the differences between us all.

Couples should strive to grow together in love and appreciate the strengths of one another. Enhanced synchronous cohabitation and development is a much better focus than this master, slave, sister, mother parody.

Happy new year benodic

Wishing you all the very best in 2019

No matter your area of expertise in life you can draw inspiration from this man, he has a very rare work ethic.

Through the application of his level of dedication to any field of endeavour, one would certainly jam success sooner rather than later.

Bigs ups to him!

well, he may sound too ridiculous to say that, but there seems somr evidence to suggest it is true.

Mansa Musa, the richest man that has ever lived, gave so much of his wealth to Spain and helped build the Mali Empire and made great trade in Egypt and the Middle East . In actuality, there once was a time Africans enslaved Europeans to gain their wealth. And when Europe was corrupt and filled with famine it was Africa that was prospering.

Ancient Africa was the first to come up with a trade system, and was the first to create a library, where all their knowledge that they have collected over the years soon spread to other continents. Without Egypt math and astronomy would have taken longer to exist. Most of today's math is built off the philosophy's of Ancient Egyptians and the Ancient Sudanese (Nubians)even the concept of computation known as abacus was developed in egypt before it expand to china.

Thank you for this post !!!

How is this news?
A prostitute built a house for her hopeless Mum and it made frontpage? How does this encourage real hardworking women

If you don’t think it’s news you should have overlooked the topic but you opened it and went on to comment on it.

You call her a prostitute? Once a girl has certain body shape and is light skinned and chooses acting as a profession you assume she is a prostitute. Do you know her personally?

You could Not even offer a single word of praise or congratulations. she could have used that money to buy a new car or travel or any other thing but she focused on putting a smile on her mother’s face. But all you could do is refer to her as a prostitute. Smh...

Meanwhile your display picture on your profile says it all...

*modified* can’t be helping you promote market

Such a Beautiful family...This is one actor Who knows how to interprete roles in Nollywood that is rare. It’s obvious he is hard working and focused.

Merry Christmas to the Okanlawans!

I try to avoid Nigerian politics but he does appear to be a very good candidate.

Cross between a Great Dane an Dalmatian I think.

What a touching story. Well done! Your love for your brother is inspirational.

Using an intimacy gadgets is not cheating don’t let your ego get the best of you. I think you’re feeling insecure because the size of the gadget is...We understand, but it’s not cheating.

Calm down Oga.

You no well

Cute baby, he looks a lot like Linda and even more like her younger sister.

In the pursuit of what will make you happy in life, there comes a time where we need to ignore the voices of the masses. After all, people will always have things to say.

I never knew you could be this good. Nice one

I dey “code” myself... Pun intended

Personally I prefer Python, just because practically anyone can read it. The syntax it very straightforward you just have to train yourself to grasp the logic. Some people find the auto indentation to be annoying but it’s actually something I like about it. Read The Zen of Python

JavaScript is another good one, if you don’t min dealing with npm and unlimited curly braces

Keep in mind that both are interpreted. With a compiled languages, code you enter is reduced to a set of machine-specific instructions before being saved as an executable file. With interpreted languages, the code is saved in the same format that you entered.

Invest in some videos on Udemy to keep him engaged and most importantly I would advise you introduce him to coding as soon as possible.

If he starts learning programming now, by the time he is a teenager he will shock you.

If you meant ofe akwu, it's totally different from groundnut stew both in method of cooking and in taste ...

Not at all!!! Wasn’t referring to ofe akwu!! Ofe always is made from palm kernels na.

LoJ:
Oh okay. And how do they call it over there? Thanks for the compliment

Been trying to remember... It has totally escaped me...

Where are all the Igbo peeps in the house, they should help me out.

LoJ:
Hello guys. Thanks for the welcome thoughts.

I tried this recipe I learned in cote D'Ivoire (ivory coast). I went there many years ago for business but it failed .

I did learn something though and it is this sauce d'arachide. You do it with tomato and groundnuts. Is there a Nigerian equivalent?

Well done Loj! Yes, there is a Nigerian equivalent, it’s popular with the igbos.

To be continue,

You will notice the 16 odu ifa emphasised on sacrifice ...

So what is this sacrifice? Ebo (sacrifice)


This sacrifice (ebo) always has to do with something in your life that is hindering your ability to reach for another thing. You must sacrifice this thing (usually something you love but is negative for you) before the positive can replace it.

Unfortunately, this true nature of ebo is unclear to many so-called initiates. Yes, ebo often takes a physical form for SYMBOLIC ritualistic purposes, but this is just the symbol not that which is being symbolized.

Some think that ebo is paying a babalawo money to mix up a bunch of things with blood in a pot, after which you are suppose to magically gain access to your ambition. This is utter nonsense and intended only to make a babalawo wealthy off of someone's naiveté and spiritual laziness.

If ebo (sacrifice) was about paying babalawos and buying material objects to sacrifice, then that would mean that the orisa are on the side of rich people who could afford this lifestyle and not the poor. Any fool knows that a true spiritual system is ALWAYS about reaching the poor and weak. Thus, if Ifa is a true spiritual system (which it is), then we know that Ifa's concept of ebo sacrifice must not be so materially focused.

Any rich man can buy any material to sacrifice and pay any babalawo's price for ebo. Yes, the orisa want rich people to donate their wealth to the spiritual institutions, but real ebo is usually not material, but about some behavior in your life that you are suppose to sacrifice ....


I think.it is enough time you use your brain and the inner wisdom (orunmila) without putting your trust on one babalawo out there to difine your future for you..

Such a well articulated write up...nice one
