lynpetra: I have come to realize that a lot of Nigerians do not understand that word 'Love'.The word has been so overused,now it has lost not only it's taste,but also its true value.

In my university days, i watch as youths misuse that powerful word.I was as they love and after few weeks,you begin to ask questions like,"what happened to the last? "We fall in love,make empty promises and then it's all gone...like it never happened!If there one thing we need to understand about love,it's clearly the fact that ' love is pain'' too.

Love do not only bring joy,it also bring pain.A cry of a woman in labour brings so much pains,as she struggle in tears,screaming and cursing,pushing out that which she has nursed with love and joyful expectation for months is love.In our relationships,we must learn to be truly honest with our feelings.Until we learn to love the bad and weakness in others,we cannot achieve the true meaning of the greatest commandment if all.

Nigerians! When will you give way to love. When will you go out of your way to show live to that orphan in rags, the hawkers shouting in your streets,the AIDS victim lying and waiting for the appointed time, that haggard looking woman roasting corn behind your multi-million dollars twin duplexes, that weary young man trekking the high ways looking, looking lost,worn out and hopeless.


You see,it takes ONLY a loving heart to see the pains in others. Have ever taken time to look around your environment and see the sufferings in our societies.
Have you ever had the experience of watching a beaten man die?will your loving face be the last he sees,as you clutch on a lifeless hand of a hopeless man?

if I was going to spend so much on some irrelevant drinks in an expensive club and still watch a young man running after my luxurious car all in a bid to sell his peanuts,i should be ashamed. What stops you from taking numbers,calling and helping afterwards.

'Love is pain". The pain of looking you on bended knees,tears flowing but a once weary soul healing!such is the greatest of all. Such are remembered forever in the sands of time.

Lets make death easy by making live triumph. Lets open up our heart and cry with the bereaved. Let's take our birthdays to the homes if the unloved. Lets unite with those who we are at loggerheads with.Lets have good intentions all the time with people we do not know. Let's save our children and the girl- child.Lets be our brothers keeper. Lets take our food to the hungry in our streets!

Our conscience should we rule with love. Wives,take a good look at him while he sleeps,does he deserves it?Believe me when I say it's the same thing to murder him while he sleeps.Husbands,watch her closely as she tends to your kids,and take that promise.Believe me when I say it's the same as you murder her while she is fully awake.Its a needless effort to ignore a loving heart.


To our women, when was the last time you gave a lift to that young woman on the roadside? How then do you feel betrayed when your husband or partner decides to show love to her even with conditions?Lets love ourselves first,before seeking for the love from an opposite sex.

Life is beautiful! i say this because I have seen true meanings of love.I have once seen the tears of a young boy. I have seen concealed pains shown.I cried too because I felt his pains, i cried because I felt my own pains too. In the end,i walked quietly home with the freest soul of all...I pray I die some day holding the loving hands of a loving being.

Coldplay007: Spectranet na wash.. do not buy Spectranet if you like yourself, there services is bad and customer service is horrible...

jotey: guy we need people like you 4 aso rock so DAT we go fit fight tackle boko haram with your strategies

lawyer: @poster

These insults are not necessary. Yes All Nigerians are disappointed in the way and manner they lost but you don't have to insult Yobo's body parts and bring his wife into these Insults too. Thats just childish and Immature. There are better ways to criticize the Teams performance than to take it personally. Despite the Vitriol you just poured on Yobo, i think he played very well and the Own goal was a result of his collision with Enyeama. And if you are to praise Osaze the the highest heavens, why did you forget to add that it was osaze that unnecessary gave the ball away that led to a corner kick? Please stop abusing people personally and bring their families into it because you are angry. How would you feel if you were the one playing for Nigeria and everyone begins to insult your lips, abuse your wife for no just cause and curse your mom because you didn't play well in one match. Criticize constructively and not personally!

Teespice: Abeg oooo

emmadan: what kind of happiness?are trying to take greed for happiness.They are in pursuit of greed and not happiness ,pls and pls,dnt insult hapiness.

Caracta: She didn't say money brings happiness, did she?

Uj_sizzle Why are 'Nigerian women' money conscious?
Really the answer isn't far fetched: They are simply pursuing happiness.

uj_sizzle: Lol Matthew Briggs, very smart
But don't you think chasing money because it's a guarantee of financial security(like you mentioned) is happiness?

Please define 'happiness' ?

Caracta
Who says happpiness is hard to find these days? I totally disagree. happpiness is in you. The truth is you can't give what you don't have. If you think true happpiness doesn't exist, then it's your fault because you have no happpiness left to give.

The moment you begin to understand that happpiness is beyond physical attraction, money or sex, that's when you can truly appreciate happpiness.

But we don't want happpiness. We want him/her to be rich, hot and sexy, speak polished English, etc. We think that's enough. That's why some people remain in abusive relationships...not because they love their partners...but because their partners are rich or famous.

You want to find happpiness? Be happy for yourself first. Discover the hidden sparkle in you. Never believe there is no true happpiness out there. Believe you can find happpiness. Change your orientation about life and people. Be positive. Be free. Know what you want. Define your expectations.


happpiness...true happpiness will find you. That's if you deserve it.

fiizznation: so u r even a pdp apologist?

PapaBrowne: I totally agree with you on the fact that polls are not won on the Internet or the pages of newspaper. And that's why the APC should even have bigger worries because this is their turf. The Internet is where APC usually won elections.

PDP has 15 million farmers on thier database with comple names, addresses and phone numbers. PDP controls almost all the market women across the country except a few. PDP runs virtually every motor park, okada riders, etc. All associations where there is a collection of real voters is controlled by the PDP.

APC should leave the attacks in the president and focus on inspiring the people. Lie to us about grandiose projects you would build. Tell us about modern trains running from north to south. Tell us about 10 lane expressways across the length and breath of the country. Tell us about building of industries in every locality. Tell us about a brand new fully equipped police force that would literally guarantee our security. Tell us you would crash the price of fuel to 50 naira by building refineries that would function. We are Nigerians, we are gullible enough, we would believe.

But all we hear you tell us is how there is a sniper list and your names are on it. We really don't care 1000 politicians are killed, all we want is a better life. It beats my imagination why APC cannot just understand this simple logic

GenBuhari: Why close poll?
I suppose 40 laptop crew are tired of voting with their multiple IDs.

Polls cannot be rigged when they based on one vote per IP address , or when the numbers voting are too large for the 40 laptop crew's multiple IDs to have an effect on the overall result, which is why these polls are never taken to the front page and why OP is rushing to close it.

Clerverly: Will you stop these your nonsense ratings and votes here on NairaLAnd?? APC supporters are mature men who go about their duties and use their spare time to highlight the ills of present Government and past PDP leaders while selling their manifestos to the public. So coming to compete with the creeks and PDP e-trained- insult -peddler-Igbo kids here with 30 handlers each, is not our business.
So if you really want to know the ratings/popularity of Jonathan, step out of your comfort zone in the South East and interact with the rest of Nigerians.
On this note, I enjoin all the Progressives On Nairaland to ignore this thread and future threads like this, because the work of entrenching good governance at the centre has just begun. LET THEM FOOL THEMSELVES

Standing5: the plan of PDP rats to use multiple handle on NL and the rigging tendencies of PDP has been exposed here again. How did 67 posters get over 120 votes? E-ballot snatching i guess.
