Well, I converted to Christianity three years ago and hasn't still got a job and hates going to the church due to my financial ability. it is so worse that I don't always have t-fare.
The crossover service of the year 2023 is one to remember. The church sold out calendars and stickers and one of the church ushers approached me to buy which I declined and she later came to tell me on different occasions to have it & pay later and its only me that understands my ability but I lastly bowed to respect myself.

The following midweek service I sincerely went with the money hoping to do a transfer but she didnt come & I returned home. The way she reacted that weekend when I told her I don't have it instantly but I don't want to hide under it to stay away from the church service., Men, I was ashamed of myself physically. Embarrassment isn't about wordings alone bro. and to come compound my situation, I never paid that money till date cos I dont have it and my reason to stop attending the church for now.

First of all, try attending a sound church closest to you if you are having transportation challenges. This is the advice I always give to folks, including the ones that attend my church.

Avoid churches where there is too much pressure to give money. GOD is not a tax officer. Lastly, forget about big names also. Just find a church that renews your spirit man through the Word, fervent prayers and fasting. GOD will give you a career breakthrough before the middle of May in JESUS' name!

Stay in GOD'S Presence.

What else? I was invited to jehovah witness service on a faithful evening, when I got in, I was ushered to the front seated on the first low and the first column.
It's was now time for communion, the usher brought it the to my front and he stood there for some good number of seconds like I was supposed to take it so he can move to the next person.
My brother man, I ignorantly took the bread only to discover that I was the only one who took it in a congratulation of over 2000.
I felt like eveporating. To make matter worse, was when they brought the wine. this time I couldn't take it because the whole congregation had their eyes on me to see the only righteous man in their church.

So you had the guts to take the highly rated JW communion? They didn't school you that no one dares to eat it especially in faraway Africa? Dey ask questions o. My cousin took that stuff at JW sometime ago, and was forced to take to his heels after facing silent unbearable judgment from other fellow congregants.

The protocol around their communion nor be joke o.

Several years ago, I Lost my businesses and My girlfriend at the time started acting up. I threatened to break up with her but she threatened to deal with me if I dare break up.

I finally broke up with her but fear dey always catch because of her threat. Then,I started going to One redeemed church.

One day In the church, the pastor started prophesizing What God showed him in spiritual realm and at a point Said "if you are a Young guy here and recently broke up with a girl and she promised to deal with you, kindly see me In my office after service.

Na so I begin to dey sweat inside ac. I went to meet him after service and narrated how I lost my businesses and broke up with a girl that I was the person he was referring to the other Time.

The pastor asked for my age , I told him .only for him too burst into loud laugh ,asked me to write down my name and number and come back in 2weeks Time. I was embarrassed and felt like a fool.

That was my last time in the church.

Note: I was 25years at the time and have been independent since 19 and taking responsibilities of My younger siblings without commiting crime.

Why exactly did he laugh? Are you sure it had anything to do with your age? It's weird though. That was a poor counseling session he oversaw. So what went down with you and your girlfriend afterwards? Did she still deal with you or you went back to her?

kareemkamil:
Christianity is false religion

I can't argue with you. Your eyes go clear last last when you die unsaved and land in hell fire. I pity you.

IyaebeTheGreat:
I followed my friend to a deeper life church and the agbaya pastor sent me home because of my dressing saying it was too short.

You ruined your story by calling someone that's obviously older than you a fool. Apply some decorum when using words.

Festus Keyamo stated his sole aim of buying the property was to invest since he had the $300k sitting dormant in his account..

Banana Island properties are mostly owned by foreigners, US embassy made a huge investment buying Eko Atlantic city land for it's mega embassy

I cannot but support you one hundred percent on this one. Poverty has destroyed some people's minds to the point that they think everyone is as poor as they are. Rule of life: Immediately relocate from the circle of poor people the day you strike gold.

The name is not even catchy at all. Who doesn't know the sky is blue? Dumb

So it seems until a little light shines on it. Then you will realise that what made face and book, you and tube to become global brands can do same for blue and sky.

Arsenal Bottling Company will win the spoon and fork. About the cup, I don't know.

Continue till your village people see it

Na only you talk true for here. I still wonder what excites some people to the point of publicizing a premature success. Person wey ever comot from house don dey announce himself. May GOD help him to reach his destination in JESUS' name!

TsbAfrica:
But if not for psychology... Why is a blue tick as important as this ? They are playing on the intelligence of those who want to look important on social media... Chai

You are not viewing this issue deeply. Parody accounts can be used to swindle people, malign personalities and spread misinformation which could cause great shocks in social circles and businesses. That's the reason why the blue tick was introduced in the first place. It had very little to do with social status.

Now imagine if you cannot distinguish the legitimate account of the president from that of an imposter. The blue tick goes way beyond social standing. Whether you like it or not, some bits of news are received as true when they originate from certain prominent personality accounts on social media that have blue ticks.

Blue tick is one of the most important social media safety innovation.

Why are you folks enabling false news merchant? You won't understand what it means for one lowlife to go on social media spreading falsehood about your private life and business. It's devilish!

I've handled couple of projects for my cus outside Nigeria but he gave me penny..
He brought another job I rejected forming busy he gave his sis that one sucked him dry.
He brought another one and I told him find out how much other people can do it for him and minus 40% and pay me 60% that I would do the job and he ran till today.
Sometimes those people there like to use people for free....

You raised a very valid point most ungrateful 'abroadians' don't want to discuss. Most of these people who complain of being cheated are terrible misers and ingrates.

I cut off a relative because of such despicable behavior. They just want errand boys and girls whom they pray should remain stagnant in life so they perpetually have people to use and reuse for their selfish purposes.

OneTemplate:
And your mind worked all this out because you're a god-fearing, upright and honest man ba? I fear anyone that does not fear Nigerians.

It is not about Nigeria. You guys should stop abusing Nigerians. In your almighty America, some folks will bolt with this money. They only appear more righteous in advanced countries because they have tight law enforcements and effective legal systems.

Criminality is universal.

Jesuschristus:
And suleman is working free because he is popular

Not defending Suleman, but where was it reported that he raped someone? All the allegations against him are cases of consensual sex. None is criminal, just immoral. That is the difference here bro.

okeysoninv:
islamists will fight and persecute christains..till will be so bad that many christains will flee, hide from attending church. many churches will be close . this is end time period persecution for true christains in Nigeria. #prophecy

Keep quiet oga. Christianity is going to run through the four corners of this country like wildfire very soon. You don't know what is coming. So shut up and stop spreading foolish falsehood. Fake prophet! Elections are over, now you lots have moved on to something else.

See how he was apprehended without being tortured. Meanwhile in Nigeria a Nigerian is treated like an animal even when he isn’t a threat to anyone

Do you know what will happen behind the scene? Nor let media go dey deceive you o. Asia is not as democratic as they display in the media. Be warned in case you are thinking of going there to do anyhow.

Bross, what are you saying?
I have about 10 Facebook friends who are Chinese, and we chat using that Facebook translate stuff
Go and sit down Jare
No vess

And they live in China?

Are these people enlightened at all? Why not restrict movement only in areas or constituencies where actual elections are going to take place in the affected states? These are pockets of elections, not statewide.

Poorly trained administrators imposing a defective blanket ban.

Ortom is no administrator.

His greatest legacy is criticizing Buhari. Such a failed leader. Infrastructure, human capital development, security...zero!

Newnas:
I witnessed great fortune in Buhari's era. I'm optimistic that I'll witness even greater fortune in Tinubu's era.

I will have no share in your evil thoughts. Aameen.

P.S to all those quoting me, I'm not a politician. In fact, I abhore politicians. But I will never be let some evil people who don't give a hoot about my existence turn me into a hateful and pessimistic soul.

God forbid.

That's the right spirit of progress. Run your daily business with high spirits and leave pessimists behind.

Westerhoffe:
CAN made a good move on that.
You can't just ridicule the Christian faith and let it slide like it's nothing.

Next thing CAN needs to take more seriously, and I mean vcery very seriously is to impose a ban on skit makers and comedians from exclaiming the name of Jesus Christ in their skits and comedies; it is inappropriate and very much unacceptable.

Omo that skit shit is most disgusting evil ever conceived. There is certainly nowhere in the world such nonsense is repeatedly done and tolerated by Christians. Those jesters just derive joy in screaming that sacred name in the most ridiculous way. Such a shame!

As a student in Canada, there so many scholarships. grants and funding opportunities available.
If you run from Canada because of work related stress, what would you now do in Naija??

Life was obviously 'soft' for him back in Naija. Dude mentioned it in his story. Nor be everybody dey suffer for here o. If you are rightly plugged in here, to travel abroad na suffer head o.

EriMma1:
When you refuse to speak against evil, it will one day turn around to hunt you.

How will you feel of your daughter is caught doing such? Will you still say it's not your business?

You are drifting deeper into foolishness. Come back to your senses. What right do you have to post someone's nude pictures on social media no matter what transaction went between you two? It's both a legal and a moral crime if you don't know.

You can suffer a terrible revenge attack from that girl if she is too ashamed to explore legal means. This is why some of you perish mysteriously because of foolish acts like this one. It's just like accusing someone of witchcraft and then going ahead to post compromising pictures of the person on social media. You think you will get away from such a person's lawful or unlawful wrath?

Na stupid things like this dey draw sudden premature death o. Grow up, mr righteous judge.

by defending such a terrible sin,you may have become an accomplices before the lord.


Be careful what you defend,lest you provoke God's wrath upon ya

Are you having mental problems? Where in the Bible is it stated that abortion is a sin 'against' the HOLY SPIRIT? Attend Sunday school, it will save you from spewing blasphemy online. Sins against the HOLY SPIRIT are explicitly stated in the Scriptures, and nowhere is abortion mentioned as one.

Abortion is a sin. But don't drag the HOLY SPIRIT into it. You are the one trying to add to the Bible.

Caaz:
I put it to you that, you're a scammer like the person you quoted/infact you're same person
You modified your comments to Garner likes for the scammer which obviously is your alternates.

We have bn noticing you.

It's no news that the criminal is the same as the beggar. Some people are just too dubious. It's sickening! A male disguising as a female to beg, then goes ahead to quote himself with a fake empathetic prayer.

tiswell:
there Is no forgiveness in this kind of sin.

Abortion is a sin against the holy spirit,and the bible says it's unforgivable.

Dear sis,@op,you just booked a space in el-faya!

Abortion is a sin. How you classified it as a sin against the HOLY SPIRIT is the part you need to delete right away. Stop turning the Bible upside down.

Your husband went to pay thugs to beat up his own son? Your husband must be mad, I am sorry to say. You people have no son in that young man anymore.

Maybe your husband has doubts about the paternity of the child. You might need to ask your husband why he is doing all that he is doing to his supposed son.

I don't know what to do next, she has already started processing her retirement papers. I wish okowa or the incoming government will reinstate them back.
My mum is still physical strong and sharp, but the retirement is making her look dull these days.
My mum enjoys farming (small scale) like her husband, but I don't know if sponsoring her will make her happy. Am confused and stress about it, I'm the last child she trained in school before retirement, that's why I'm worried about it.
I will talk to my elder sister about it, let's see what we can do for her since Okowa isn't reinstating them anytime soon.

Just discuss it with your siblings. Since some people were recently recalled from retirement, that means there is a chance that more would. You need to search for good links.

My best wishes.

marlow1962:
Very good.

My mum retired last month (10 days to my BD) I was happy now she can finally rest from the sch stress, but since she retired I have not seen happiness in her eyes. Asked her what's good, she said she wish she can keep working, she doesn't want to stay home idle.
I offered to open after class lesson for her but she refused. Seems she really enjoys teaching her students.

Okowa called back some teachers, but my mum was not among, I don't know why.

You may not understand what it means to stop fulfilling your purpose when you are still physically and mentally capable. You start dying gradually on the inside. Find a way to help your mum back into the public teaching system so she can have a reason to live longer.
