If a girl says she can't love you again, it means she never loved you in the first place. It's game over for you bro. Move on and stop trying to change her mind.

The question is for married women. What is/are the reasons that you would avoid or refuse sex with your husband?

My wife's own is when I get lazy at home and I don't help in the house chores e.g cleaning, cooking, bathing the kids etc. She won't fight with me or argue but when I touch her like this, she will find a meaningful excuse. She's tired, not in the mood, headache, tomorrow, I need to shower first and I'm too lazy now etc. I found out myself that it was when I helped at home that there were no excuses, it's always a happy ending.

Any woman that denies her husband sex is a witch.
What am I even saying? I'm not even married yet.
Make I run before all Dem feminists go come attack me.

Henry289788:
We had dated for a few months we were in love and everything was fine. Then one day we had a quarrel and she broke up with me..

She said she felt nothing for me anymore and deserved better. She blocked me afterwards on WhatsApp where we communicated the most.

It was painful for me and very traumatizing. It was even more painful the fact that she blocked me. It made me feel worthless. I cared for her and was always there for her. It's been six months and I am finally recovering and moving on.

Then just today I noticed she has unblocked me. She hasn't texted, but I'm really surprised. What does this mean? Should I text her?

Congrats! It means she's just given you another chance. Don't be the loser this time.

Story! Story! Story!
Love is always sweet in the beginning until it gets sour then one party feels betrayed and takes it out on the next unlucky fellow that comes along.

2. Marriage in active service: it May interest you no know that women soldiers are given a particular time frame before they are permitted to marry. There are certain numbers of years they are expected to spend in active service before they can embark on marital journey. In addition to that, they are expected to follow some procedures.

What the hell! Is this even legal?

These criminals are really having a field day.

Gagare1:
Watsup folks,
I've observed that anytime I do a financial transaction on my bank account, the debit alert shows me a balance with a shortage of N45, N70 and just now N92. My question is, if am charged for a transaction why is it not indicated as 'debit'? Are banks now deducting people's money hoping that we don't know our balance in detail? BTW, I just withdrew from an ATM machine and my account balance goes N92 short.
Can someone please explain what is going on?

It's only in Nigeria that people who are meant to protect your money will turn around and steal what's left under their care.

Presidential ticket is brewing

The APC is expected to zone the Presidential ticket to the South West. The contenders are Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and Governor Kayode Fayemi.

Asiwaju believes that his legendary war chest and his hold on the party in Lagos and that of his friend Ganduje in Kano would be the key. In the worst case he could wangle 2 million votes in primaries from Lagos whether any one votes or not and another 4 million from Kano by hook or crook.

But his major worry is his former protege and now popular Vice President who many consider cerebral, ready for the job and capable of advancing Buhari’s legacy. Tinubu does not appear to have any solid criticism of Osinbajo.

However, his associates have been trying out a story that being a pastor he would favour Christians only. And that being a member of the Redeemed Church, he would favour only members of his church. They put out stories that his staff were mostly pastors or Christians. That was refuted by one of his Muslim aides who pointed out that his most senior appointees are actually Muslims, including the VP's own Chief of Staff.

As for Fayemi, he believes that he would have the support of strong people around the President especially Mamman Daura, about whom he tells his associates has promised him support. He also hopes to leverage on his position as Chair of the governors forum. His handlers also believe that if Bola Tinubu and Yemi Osinbajo eliminate each other he would be the beneficiary and would be presented at the appropriate time as the compromise candidate.

As for Yemi Osinbajo, he doesn’t seem to have a political structure, neither does he have the cash that a run will entail. He also seems to have annoyed many people around the President especially by sacking the former DG-SSS Lawal Daura, while he  was Acting President. Many also fear that he might be stricter than his boss. Fayemi on the other hand is not really popular, and has not shown an outstanding performance as governor. And by the way, he will be out of office by June next year in which case he might not be in a position to leverage the office of Governor.

Tinubu has political friends but is also not popular. He is widely regarded as extremely corrupt, compared often to Atiku. But the worst thing is that he has been canvassing for a Muslim-Muslim ticket. The only formula that can put him on the ticket. The party knows that such a ticket would be disastrous.

I think most people agree that what would tilt the scale is who President Buhari supports . And the old man seems to be keeping that close to his chest. If he says nothing as he usually does, it means that he is saying that the ticket should go to the highest bidder, this is what direct primaries may come down to. But the outcome he gets may neither please him nor enhance the electoral chances of his party. And if he lets the PDP succeed him, he should kiss a peaceful retirement good bye. Something tells me Bubu won't let that happen!

Well, let's see if Nigeria will fall inside the same pit twice.

ReventifyCV:
That cliché saying, ‘Do not put all your eggs in one basket’, is a good saying until it comes to job applications. The idea of throwing your CVs all over the place, and clicking on every ‘apply’ you find is not entirely a good idea. Granted, the economy is a mess, and the wait for a job is tiring; however, going the route of multiple applications can deprive you of a good job.

This goes in two ways. There is one part where people send out applications to different companies at the same time. Then there is sending out applications for different roles in the same company. However, some people think it is okay to send job applications for multiple roles in one company. They most likely will not get any of the jobs at all.

1. Lack of Career Focus: When the Job application hits the HR’s desk, the next thing they look at after your name, is your career focus.

2. The Use of Generic and Non-personalized CVs: HRs hate generic CVs. If you are applying for a role, the goal is to show that you are very fit for that role, which means your CV should show that you are fit.

3. Unpreparedness for Multiple Job Interviews: Your interview is your one opportunity to sell yourself to your prospective employer properly.

4. Burnout During the Various Application Process: Application processes can be very strenuous. As a job seeker, you need your head and mind to be in the right place when applying for a job.

5. Loss of Credibility: A company will not take a person who applies for multiple roles in their company seriously. The ‘jack of all trades’ saying is a myth you should trash.


Getting a job is the goal. However, your strategy through which you intend to get that job matters. The processes leading up to your first interview determine if you get the interview or not.

Apply to a few jobs at a time, go for the interviews prepared, after sending an impressive CV.

There are jobs, however, you are not qualified for all of them, focus on the ones you are qualified for and apply a few at a time.

All valid points but all of us know how Naija be.

Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) by Taylor Mosby and Kirk Franklin.

The great tribulation and the rapture are two very important events every Christian should carefully study and understand. These two events have generated so much unnecessary controversy among Christians in our time. The only thing all Christians seem to agree on concerning these two subjects is that they won’t happen concurrently. To some, the rapture will take place before the great tribulation, and to those on the other side of the divide, the reverse will be the case.

Because of the nature of these two events, understanding which one comes first is very important to help you prepare for what lies ahead.
Misunderstanding the timing and order of these two events will spell doom for you and I think this is why the devil is causing so much confusion and disagreement in the sequence of these events.

The belief that the rapture will take place before the great tribulation is one big lie straight from the pit of hell, concocted to keep Christians complacent and unprepared for what lies ahead. It is a lie by the devil, propagated by his agents to keep Christians in an uncritically satisfied state of spiritual laxity.

Satan will rather have you unprepared and ill-equipped for what lies ahead. Beware! This teaching is unbiblical.
There is no single verse in the Bible that substantiates the belief that the rapture will take place before the great tribulation. This belief stands against everything that Christ taught about end-time events.
What then is the position of the Bible on the subjects of the rapture and the great tribulation?
The rapture speaks of an event in which Christ will appear in the sky, in His glory, with the angels sounding the trumpet, and all Christians will be caught up in the air and taken to heaven where they will dwell with Him forever. This is vividly described in Matthew 24:30-31 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Matthew 24:30-31
24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ shall rise first.
4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the Air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

Also, read Mark 13:26-27.
The great tribulation, on the other hand, talks about a period of great persecution and trial in which men will suffer immensely in the hands of the devil revealed as the beast and the great dragon.
Now, who is this beast that is revealed as the great dragon?

The vision of the great dragon was first revealed to Daniel the prophet and recorded in Daniel chapter seven.
According to the book of Daniel, “In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.” (Daniel 7:1). Now, I want you to carefully study Daniel chapter seven and pay very close attention to how the great dragon or the beast will be revealed.

Daniel continued, “I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.” (Daniel 7:2-3). He went on to describe the four beasts in his vision but the fourth beast was the most intriguing.

Daniel 7:7
7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns

This last beast in Daniel’s vision was dreadful, terrible and exceedingly stronger than its predecessors. It was far more vicious than the previous three and it was causing far more damage by tearing down things with its iron teeth. This beast had ten horns out of which three were plucked out and replaced by another new horn. This new horn had eyes all over it and a mouth speaking boastful words.
Immediately after the fourth beast was revealed, the Ancient of Days took His seat on His throne of judgment, the court sat and the books of judgment were opened.

This was a dreadful and fear-inspiring vision that Daniel had. He was terrified and “…wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet.” (Daniel 7:19).
The interpretation of Daniel’s vision is this: the fourth beast represents the last of four kingdoms that will rule the earth from Daniel’s time until the return of Christ. The ten horns represent ten Kings that will rise and form a very powerful alliance. Then, another kingdom will arise that will overcome and subdue three of the original ten. This last horn that will take the place of the subdued three is the antichrist and this is a summary of what he will do: “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them.” (Daniel 7:21).

When the antichrist is revealed, he will make war with God’s people, persecute and torment them for a time.
Now the question is this: if the rapture was to take place before the great tribulation, why does Daniel’s prophecy say that the antichrist will make war with the saints and prevail against them? From Daniels revelation of the antichrist, it is evident that God’s people will also go through the great tribulation before the rapture takes place.
The right order is that the great tribulation will take place before the rapture.

Daniel 7:21-22
7:21 I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
7:22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

Here, we see that the saints of God, in Daniel’s vision, only possessed the kingdom and took their rightful place after the antichrist had made war with them. This clearly shows that the true sons and daughters of God will be revealed and raptured after the great tribulation has taken place.
A study of Daniel chapter seven reveals the following about the antichrist:

• He will speak pompous words against God.
• He will persecute the saints of the Most High.
• He will intend to change times and law.
• The saints will be given into his hand for a time, times and half a time (forty-two months) – Daniel 7:25

The last point above is key to understanding certain facts about how the antichrist will deal with the saints of God. The Bible says that the saints of God shall be handed over to his hand for a time, times and half a time. In this verse, time means one calendar year (twelve months), times means two calendar years (twenty-four months) and half a time means half a year (six months). This simply means that the reign of the antichrist will be exactly for forty-two months.

Daniel’s prophecy says, “But the court shall be seated, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and destroy it forever.” (Daniel 7:26). After the antichrist is judged and his dominion taken away, “Then the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High.” (Daniel 7:27).

Comparing Daniel chapter seven and Revelation chapter thirteen, we see that just like Daniel, John also had a revelation of the beast and recorded it in great detail. The beast in John’s revelation is exactly like the one in Daniel’s vision except that the beast in John’s Revelation is a combination of all the beasts in Daniel’s vision.
According to the book of Revelation, the beast John saw was like a leopard, had the feet of a bear and the mouth of a lion (Revelation 13:2). He exercised great authority and had power handed down to him by the great dragon. Here’s what John wrote concerning the beast.

Revelation 13:5-7
13:5 And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months.
13:6 Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven.
13:7 It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.

Again, from John’s revelation of the beast (the antichrist), we see that:
• He will speak blasphemies against God.
• He will be given authority over the saints for forty-two months.
• He will blaspheme against God’s heavenly government.
• He will make war with the saints and overcome them.

The beast revealed in Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 are the same. It is the antichrist that will persecute the Church before the rapture takes place. This is in line with what is recorded in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-4.

2 Thessalonians 2:1-4
2:1 Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him (The Rapture), we ask you,
2:2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come.
2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshipped, so that he sits as God, in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

Paul was telling the Thessalonian church that they should not be worried about the second coming of Christ. He made it very clear that the rapture will not happen until the man of sin, the son of perdition (the antichrist), is revealed. And how will the antichrist be known? Paul said that the antichrist will exalt himself above God, taking the place of God and being worshipped as God.
Remember, in the book of Revelation, John wrote that, “All who dwell on the earth will worship him (the antichrist), whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” (Revelation 13:.
This means that even though the sinners and the saints will both face the great tribulation, only the sinners, whose names are not in the book of life, will worship the beast and receive his mark.

In very clear terms, Paul asserted that the rapture will not happen until the antichrist is revealed and is given the power to persecute the saints of God. This fact agrees with the books of Daniel and Revelation.
But what did Christ Himself say about the order in which the great tribulation and the rapture will take place?
Towards the end of Jesus’ earthly ministry, the disciples came to Him and asked what the signs of the end will be (Matthew 24:3). The first answer He gave them was “Take heed that no one deceives you.”

Before He told them what to expect towards the end, He, first of all, warned them to make sure they never let anyone deceive them concerning the order of events that will herald His second coming. This warning still applies to Christians today. This warning is crucial because we all need to be prepared for what lies ahead. We all need to be ready for the great tribulation.
Christ said, before the end, false prophets and teachers will arise, teaching malicious heresies and deceiving many. There will be wars and rumours of war; famines and pandemics as well as earthquakes in numerous places. The New Living Translation calls these events “the first of the birth pains” (Matthew 24:. And just like a woman in labour, these events will increase over time until the true sons and daughters of God take their place and reign with Christ.
There will be a great departure from the true faith. Betrayal will increase and because of the prevailing lawlessness, the love of God in the hearts of men will grow cold. All these are preparatory stages of the great tribulation. The thing Christ said will happen next is very important.

Matthew 24:29-31
24:29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
24:31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

In these three verses, Christ unequivocally said that the tribulation will take place before the rapture.

One other Scripture that proves that God’s children will face the great tribulation is in Revelation chapter seven. This Scripture has been misunderstood by a popular denomination.
According to this denomination, only a specific number of Christians (144,000) will go to heaven and Revelation chapter seven, forms the basis of this belief. For the sake of clarity, we’ll like to do an in-depth analysis of this famously misunderstood Scripture.
Revelation chapter seven does not in any way imply that only a specific number of Christians will go to heaven. Taking a careful look at Revelation 7:1-8; you will see that God sealed a specific number of His servants from each tribe of Israel. The number He sealed from each tribe is twelve thousand. Multiplying that number by the total number of tribes in Israel (twelve), you will have one hundred and forty-four thousand. This number is only from Israel and does not include God’s servants from other parts of the world. Going by this, if you are to conclude that only 144,000 people will go to heaven, you will also be saying that no Christian from any other part of the world will go to heaven and this, my friend, is not true.
Right after the 144,000 were sealed, this is what John saw next.

Revelation 7:9-11
7:9 After these things (the sealing of the 144,000), I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number of all nations, tribes, peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,
7:10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
7:11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God,

If you read Revelation 7:1-8 alone, you might be tempted to think only 144,000 people will go to heaven but when you read further, John said he saw a great multitude that no one could number from every tribe, people and tongue, standing before God and all were clothed in white.
This shows that the innumerable crowd wasn’t a congregation of sinners awaiting judgment. These were the saints of God, standing before their God and worshipping Him in purity and true holiness together with the angels and the twenty-four elders.
God, in His infinite wisdom, didn’t just leave us with this piece of information. He decided to explain in clear detail, what John saw in that vision so He sent one of the Elders to John. The Elder came very close to John and said, “Hello brother John.” “Yes!” answered John.
“Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?” he continued. (Revelation 7:13).
This question that the Elder asked John is indicative of the fact that these saints, arrayed in white, worshipping God in heaven were not originally inhabitants of heaven but came from somewhere and where else do humans live? Earth, of course.
In response, John said, “Sir, you know.”
John tactically pushed the question back to the Elder and the elder supplied the answer to this all-important question, giving details of how they got to heaven, where they came from and how they were going to spend eternity with God.

Revelation 7:14-17
7:14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me “these are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
7:15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
7:16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat;
7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of water. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

To answer the question of who these heavenly worshippers, dressed in white were, the Elder said, “These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation.” Very clearly, the elder explained that the innumerable saints John saw in that vision were those who passed through the great tribulation and were then raptured. So, after all, not only 144,000 people will go to heaven but an innumerable number that has been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. This is exactly what Paul referred to as “A great cloud of witnesses.” (Hebrews 12:1).
Another reason why the tribulation-before-rapture ideology makes perfect sense is the fact that throughout the Bible, God has rarely pulled His children out when things are about to get rough but has always used persecution as a tool to equip, prepare, purge, cleanse, sanctify and humble His children. Now consider the following instances.

God let Joseph be sold into slavery and put in prison because these experiences were necessary even though they were uncomfortable. Joseph needed to go through the fire to come out pure and refined. God used his unfavourable circumstances to work out His perfect will in Joseph’s life.

Daniel had to be thrown into the lion’s den even though he was a faithful servant of God because he needed that experience to showcase God’s mighty hand of deliverance to the heathen society he lived in.
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had to go through the furnace for God’s purpose to be fulfilled in their lives and to show the Babylonians that our God can deliver those who trust in Him.

David was forced into hiding, living in caves and scavenging for food even though he had been anointed king because God saw that the experience was necessary for him to be equipped for the challenges of leadership.
In these few instances, God let His chosen people suffer persecution from their tormentors because it was all a part of His intricate plan for their lives just the same way that the great tribulation is a part of His plan for the end-time Christian.
Stop entertaining the delusion that Christians will be raptured before the great tribulation because this is a big lie from the pit of hell. Instead, equip yourself and let God prepare you for this event that will test the faith of all Christians who will be alive when the antichrist is revealed.
Whether you believe it or not, the great tribulation will come. It’s not a question of if but when. It will be better to be prepared for it should it come in our time than hope to be raptured before it comes and be caught unprepared.

MANDIPUTIN:
On Tuesday, 17 November 2015, the Uganda government signed an agreement with Export-Import Bank of China (Exim Bank) to borrow $207 million at two per cent upon disbursement. The loan had a maturity period of 20 years including a seven-year grace period.


It has now emerged that the deal signed with the Chinese lenders virtually means Uganda “surrendered” its most prominent and only international airport.

The Uganda Civil Aviation Authority (UCAA) says some provisions in the Financing Agreement with China expose Entebbe International Airport and other Ugandan assets to be attached and taken over by Chinese lenders upon arbitration in Beijing.

It also emerged that China has rejected recent pleas by Uganda to renegotiate the toxic clauses of the 2015 loan, leaving Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni’s administration in limbo.

According to the Daily Monitor, the Ugandan government waived international immunity in the agreement it signed to secure the loans, exposing Entebbe International Airport to take over without international protection.

In desperation, Uganda in March sent a delegation to Beijing hoping to renegotiate the toxic clauses of the deal but the officials came back empty-handed as China would not allow the terms of the original deal to be varied.

Last week, Uganda’s Finance Minister Matia Kasaija apologized to parliament for the “mishandling of the $207 million loan” from the China Exim Bank to expand Entebbe International Airport.

Progress of works at the airport, built in 1972, has reached 75.2 per cent, with two runways having reached overall completion of 100 per cent.

Entebbe International Airport is Uganda’s only international airport and handles over 1.9 million passengers per year. Its seizure by China would greatly dent the legacy of the 77-year-old Museveni, who came to power on the back of an armed uprising in 1986, and expose him to election defeat.

It's despicable how African leaders are selling off the continent to China because of a lack of the will to develop the continent.
