Nairaland General › Re: Gov. Fubara Attends Crossover Service, Says Red Pen Still With Him by merits(m): 2:46pm On Jan 01, 2025
SimFubaraNews:
Rivers State Governor, Sir Siminalayi Fubara was joined by political leaders in the State to attend crossover service in his hometown, Opobo.

In his short new year message at Saint Paul's Cathedral, Opobo on Wednesday, January 1, 2025, Gov. Fubara declared that the red biro is still filled and in his pocket and wished the people of the State a prosperous 2025 assuring that the year will be greater.

In his sermon taken from the book of Psalms chapter 98 verses 1 to 9, the Bishop of the Niger Delta Diocese of the Church of Nigeria, Rev. Dr. Emmanuel Oko-Jaja said it is important to sing a new song for all that the Lord did in the year 2024 as a prelude to 2025.

He said it is necessary to give God thanks for the salvation of mankind and averting every plan of the enemies.

According to him: "God has revealed Himself more than enough in 2024 and that is why we should sing a new song. Because there had been afflictions and conspiracy against you or to someone else, but God says it will not stand, that is why we should sing a new song. It is the reason people are gathered all over the world at this time to sing a new song. This God has put away shame from us, so, we are going to be singing to Him a new song for the great things He has done.

Hello Nairalanders.

Please i have an app on my phone that i want to restrict for functioning for a specified period?

I dont want to access it no matter what may happen untill the specified period elapse. Even if i delete it, and reinstall, i still dont want it to open untill the time i specified. The ones i have seen so far still allow me to modify the period i specified which will compromise the idea. Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Thank you.

Economic Hardship: Anything To Thank God For In 2024?

2024 has been very tough for many in this country.

The hardship and suffering seems unprecedented.

But is there anything to thank God for in 2024?

As for me I believe thanking God shouldn't be a matter of what God does but who God is.

God is good and perfect no matter what.

I am eternally grateful to God for making me come to know Him and for saving my soul.

Words cannot fully express how grateful I am to God.

God bless.

Wisdom For Destiny Daily Devotional *(31st December 2024)*

by *Sunday Akanni*

TOPIC: End The Year With Praise

You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance." Psalms‬ ‭65:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

*Message*

Reflect upon the goodness of God for all He has done for you all through the year. It doesn't matter how the year went and whatever happened in between, one thing is sure - God is good. If you will count your blessings one by one, you will be amazed by all God has done. Hallelujah!

You remember how God has kept you and your family safe all through the year. God has been proactive guarding you for free and making sure nothing will go wrong with you. He who keeps His children safe never sleeps nor slumbers. Many things have swept a lot away at different parts of the year, but you are still standing good and strong. Praise the LORD!

Despite the tough economic climate in different parts of the world, God ensures you never go helplessly hungry. He keeps providing for you and you are continually refreshed. The Psalmist, in an offering of sweet praises to the LORD, declared:
"You crown the year with Your goodness, And Your paths drip with abundance." Psalms‬ ‭65:11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

So, before the dawn of 2025, take time to praise the Lord for a superb 2024. He alone is worthy of our praise. Indeed, God's goodness looks good on us!

*Prayer*

Praise the LORD for His abundant goodness over you in 2024

*Further Reading*

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord! Psalms‬ ‭150:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Nairaland General › Re: What Did You Learn In 2024? by merits(m): 2:44pm On Dec 31, 2024
Dpharmacist:
As 2024 draws to a close, I’ve been reflecting on the lessons this year has brought into my life. From personal achievements to professional growth, this year has been a profound journey of self-discovery, challenges, and triumphs.

Here are some of the key lessons I learned in 2024, and I hope they resonate with you as well.

1. Consistency is Key to Growth

This year, I embraced consistency as a powerful tool for achieving my goals. Whether it was through my professional work as a health professional , my participation in the ALX Foundations course, or my ventures into writing books on diverse topics, I realized that showing up every day—no matter how small the effort—leads to significant progress over time.

2. Self-Investment Yields the Best Returns

I invested in myself by acquiring new skills like study design, statistical analysis using Python and R, and even some aspect web development using HTML and CSD through platforms like Chisquares. These skills not only enhanced my professional competence but also opened new doors of opportunity. The lesson here? The more you invest in yourself, the more valuable you become.

3. The Power of Collaboration

Being part of teams and communities, whether it was my subgroup in the ALX program or collaborating on various projects and outreaches, taught me the value of working with others. The diverse perspectives, feedback, and support I received from my peers proved that collaboration often leads to better outcomes than going it alone.

4. Adaptability is a Superpower

2024 wasn’t without its challenges. From competitive environment to navigating personal projects, I learned to adapt to changing circumstances. Challenges taught me to stay flexible, focus on solutions, and keep pushing forward.

5. Every Day Brings a New Lesson

Through my journey in 2024, I noticed that each day has its own lesson. I embraced the idea that each day offers something new to learn. From wealth creation to health and philosophy, life’s daily struggles and triumphs are filled with lessons if we choose to see them.

6. Purpose Drives Success

Whether it was contributing to the fight against climate change (my Grand Challenge) or writing books( such as Resolutions Recharged and Effective Followership) to educate and inspire others, I learned that aligning with a higher purpose fuels motivation and leads to meaningful achievements. Purpose gives life direction and makes the hard work worthwhile.

7. Time is Your Most Valuable Resource

One of the most significant lessons I learned is the importance of time management. Balancing work, learning, writing, and personal development taught me to prioritize effectively and make every moment count.
Time management is about Self management.
When lack management you will never go far.

8. Never Stop Learning

In our fast paced world filled with a lot of distractions I have developed the art of learning very fast and still effective at retaining what you ready. It reaffirmed the importance of lifelong learning. In a world that changes rapidly, staying curious and willing to learn rapidly is crucial for success.

9. Building Systems for Long-Term Success

Through my automated data vending business, I understood the importance of creating systems that work for you. Automating processes not only saves time but also ensures consistency and efficiency.

10. Gratitude is the Greatest Attitude

Lastly, I’ve learned to be grateful—for the challenges that shaped me, the opportunities that came my way, and the people who supported me through it all. Gratitude helps maintain perspective and keeps you grounded even when the road gets tough.

I will leave you with this quote :

No matter your altitude always have the platitude to give gratitude, for that is the right attitude – Dpharmacist 2024


Final Thoughts

2024 was a year of growth, resilience, and purpose. I faced challenges, but I also embraced opportunities and learned invaluable lessons. As I step into 2025, I’m more prepared, more focused, and more determined to make an even greater impact.

Crime › Re: Child Molestation: DJ Kulet Ends Marriage As Lagos DSVA Investigates Her Husband by merits(m): 12:31pm On Dec 31, 2024
naptu2:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnCN2H1QxZk?si=691PA1BAXW8EAnI0

3 videos have gone viral on social media.

1) The first video shows DJ Kulet sitting at the driver's seat of her car. Her husband, Ohis Emmanuel (aka Benjamin) is sitting on the passenger seat and the little girl and her mother are sitting at the back. DJ Kulet told the little girl to say what happened. The little girl said that DJ Kulet's husband often molests her and her friend in his car at night. She said that he sucks their breasts and makes them massage his penis.

DJ Kulet asked her husband if what the girl said was true and he confessed that it was true.

DJ Kulet was complaining that her husband sleeps around and that he also has sex with little girls. The mother of the little girl was pleading on the man's behalf. She said that it could be a spiritual attack. DJ Kulet warned the mother not to provoke her. She said that her husband has had affairs and she forgave him, only for him to sleep with other women again. She asked how her husband was able to molest a 13 year old girl.

2) The second video shows DJ Kulet and her husband sitting down while the little girl was kneeling in front of them. The husband was apologising to the little girl for all that he had done to her and he gave her money for Christmas and a watch. (Some people say that DJ Kulet recorded this video in order to get more evidence against her husband).

3) The third video is of the wedding between DJ Kulet and Ohis Emmanuel (aka Benjamin). They got married 8 months ago.

Christianity Etc › Re: Should A Pastor Return Money Given To The Church By A Corrupt Politician? by merits(m): 12:23pm On Dec 31, 2024
Daejumong:
Should a pastor return money given to the church by a corrupt politician?

Some years back, a high ranking politician donated millions of dollars over a period of time to help the ministry of one of the biggest pastors in Nigeria. The pastor never queried him even though he knew it was beyond the scope of his salary!

Few years down the line, the politician was convicted of massive corruption and had his properties confiscated and bank accounts frozen!

The pastor does not believe he needs to return the money to the government! He believes it is God’s blessings and since he never knew it was acquired illegally, he has no need to give it back . The pastor in question is one of the biggest in Africa and worldwide!

Do you think the pastor is right? Is this similar to spoils of war in the Bible? Is this a case of the sinner’s wealth being stored for the righteous?

Proverbs 13:22:
"A good person leaves an inheritance for their children’s children, but a sinner’s wealth is stored up for the righteous."
one thing I am sure of is that church is a business center.

Sapasenator:
Hello Nairalanders,

I am completely lost and need advice. My name is Olumide Adeyanju(Not my real name), and I’m a 42-year-old civil engineer based in Lagos. I’ve been married to my wife, Tola, for seven years. We have a son together, Jidenna, who is five years old. Our marriage hasn’t been perfect, but I thought we had something solid—until recently.

When I met Tola, she was a divorcee. She told me her first marriage to a man named Dapo Olatunji ended after three years due to irreconcilable differences and I believed her. According to her, Dapo had anger issues and was overly controlling. She said she left the marriage to protect her mental health and focus on building a better life for herself. At the time, I admired her courage, and we built a beautiful relationship.

Last month, everything changed. Tola and I were invited to a wedding in Lekki. As fate would have it, Dapo was also at the wedding. It was the first time they were seeing each other in nearly 10 years. I noticed they exchanged pleasantries, and while it seemed cordial at first, something about the way they looked at each other didn’t sit well with me.

In the weeks that followed, I started noticing subtle changes in Tola’s behavior. She began acting distant and spending more time on her phone, often smiling at her screen like a teenager in love. When I asked her what was going on, she brushed it off, saying it was just "work stress."

Then, two weeks ago, I came home early from work and found her on a video call with Dapo. She didn’t realize I was home, so I overheard parts of their conversation. They were laughing and reminiscing about their past together—things like how they used to travel to Abuja for weekend getaways and the time he bought her a surprise gift for her birthday. It felt like I was intruding on a private moment between lovers.

When I confronted her, she admitted that she and Dapo had been talking regularly since the wedding. She claimed it was "nothing serious" and that they were just "catching up as friends." But I don’t believe her. Her behavior has changed so much. She’s more secretive, and I even found out she met up with him last Saturday without telling me. She said it was a "closure" meeting, but why does she need closure after all these years?

Now I’m stuck. I love Tola, but it feels like her heart is being drawn back to Dapo. I’ve spoken to my elder brother, Kunle, and he thinks I should stand my ground and fight for my marriage. But my best friend, Tunde, says I should let her go if she’s already emotionally checked out.

I don’t know what to do. Should I confront Dapo directly? Should I give Tola an ultimatum to stop talking to him? Or should I quietly walk away and let her decide who she really wants to be with?

Please, Nairalanders, I need your honest opinions. Have you experienced or heard of a situation like this? How do I handle it?
well from my own point 👉☝️ of view you made a wrong decision to marry her out of emotion in marriage women always play victim that is how she controls you emotionally and you knot the tie with her.
Now back to your story for her giving her ex attention say it all she is attracted to the ex than you that is why she is being secretive about it had it be reversed is the case she will be telling you everything that is going on between them.With this my analysis I think 🤔🤔 you can use your tongue to count your teeth just let her be and move on it's never too late to meet your own missing ribs
And for your son how are you sure the son is yours go and do the DNA asap to confirm is your son if truly is your son take care of him and let him know what his mother did to you he will survive it imagine if you are not alive he will still live is life to the fullest because destiny can not be changed.

As we enter 2025, let's hope that there will be a little turnaround, Nigerians are really suffering and we should not pretend about it, hunger knows no tribe and religion.
