save her texts messages. try sending her some messages vehmently rebuking her approach in clear term, just for the evidence. After you have acquired evidwnce, threaten to report her to her husband if she persist....
And if she wouldnt stop report her to her husband and your wife now that you can. remember if the devil doesnt tempt you in the morning, he will come back in the evening, and God forbid your guards are loose.

I disagree with the equation for 12. The square root sign is supposed to be on top not under. How can 9/3 give you 3 and 9 + -3 give you 12?

lolzzz....baby mathematician.
9+ (9/√9) = 9 + (9/3) = 9+3 = 12

Who does not know?

Boko Haram has maintained that it is fighting for a country governed by sharia criminal codes.

12 northern Nigeria states had since adopted use of sharia criminal codes.

Mehn wahala dey o.....the above report on buhari was covered in 2001. If sharia means that much to buhari in 2001 I doubt if anything has changed in his vision and principle....little wonder FFK's statemwnt.

Sometimes cases like these expose the lack of responsibility within the government...Every governments core function is to provide jobs for its populace, and I think those companies especially cosmo FM and rainbow net did that. even if the owner is to striped of those properties, at least they should not be closed. Does these governments even know anything about socoal responsibility?
It's so damn mind boggling how myopic and daft africa leaders are.

come to think about it: they all thief money meant for their states. Some stock-pile them, others send tjem overseas, but this one decided to invest it in the state. Even though we all frawn at stealing, but the end here at least justifies substaining those companies.

Untill the ordinary masses realises that such business benefit them, and that EFCC cant just close them and have the proceeds remmited to the fed, and be willing to defend such senseless actions on the street protesting massively, we will always be taken for granted.

Bros the fact that they are bombing during the fasting should tell you this isn't an Islamic thing,its not in any way religious biko ...the way people think self ...

Well you're wrong.....since the inception of terrorism, record has it that terror activities peaks during fasting.
I personally think theremust be something about the ramadan devotion that incites violents. Dontjust bash me or take my words for it, google and see for yourself.

Even though i don't like this man, this though is a perfect sermon....its time christians need to realise the world is not a christian world....its time to stay steadfast on the faith by heeding the advice: do not conform to the standards of the world.

for a complete turn around in views, I implore every one on this thread to google joel richardson and walid shoebath. The teaching of those two will change everything you know about the antichrist and you will see it cryatal clear how the end unfolds before our very eyes.

All people of the faith, muslims and christians believe the end is before us. But just as jesus talked emphatically about the apostacy of those, it means the devil, the enemy is also working tirelesly.
please google those name, it will be the best thing you ever did.

As for me, I was born catholic, I served masses as an alter boy, I attended cathechism, legion of mary and block rosary. SO I grew up trained to to be a real marrian boy, and defended the faith with all vigour when needed.

But when it was time for me to begin making my own decision, something dramatic happened. somethings didnt just add up. Like the the bible emphatically stating numeriously in several books and chapters that marry begat other children, but catholics would say anything to defend this point.
Like the bible saying that jesus is the mediatrix of all graces, but catholics would rather ask throuh mary. like the bible stating that we should ask any thing in his name, but catholics think God answers more when you ask through mary and not jesus, devaluing the love God has for us which the bible says has no comparison.

Like the unbliblical teaching of purgatory, which undermings the saving power of the blood of christ. purgatory alone is enough for any catholic to want to question the teachings of tje church but they wont.

Talk about bowing to images and statues, praying to mary as a honor and not worshipping her.

We can talk about this for a whole day. but what helped me out was the website carm.org.

If as christians we can always seperate between the traditions of men and what God wants you wont make mistakes.
Check that website and see all your questions answered biblically. carm.org

Hello, I would like to buy some books... when exactly will you be in Nigeria so I can send the details.

Well, this might be coming so late, but i trust that somehow, you will stil stumble upon this comment and your life will never be the same.

If you're a JW or struggling to grasp a what the bible really teaches regarding christianity and religion, i welcome you to read the most compeling work on the topic CARM.ORG

yes brethren its CARM.ORG that website changed my life. for so many years i questioned the deity of christ. as an orthodose christian, I just know jesus is the begotten son of God. but when I grew older, it was time to question what I believed. I prayed and dug deeper into it.

As God could want it, I stumbled upon CARM.ORG.
it has the answers to all your question. Be it jehovah witness, catholicism, Atheism, Universalism, etc. Just check it and be bless.

why do i find it hard beliving that? Even though I'd love to as a Nigerian, reality points differently instead.
Think about it: Indians and Chinese in the US will outperform Nigerians any day. Evidence abounds to surpport that. Unless perhaps we say african emmigrants in the US.

if this is for real then its sounding good..but please be sure to get your info right before you put them out here...

The above bmw 325i, how much will it take plus clearing to land that in nigeria.

A well thought out piece. If you want any evidence on how p0rnography has eaten deep into the minds of our people, try written an eye-opening article on why people should avoid it. You'd be lost in surprise at just how deep this has gotten from the replies you get from gullible folks. You'll be branded so-18th century, they will tell you what they read online from immorality promoters about how p0rn is so healthy and changing families for good. In everything, I think a discerning mind is what we all should seek n pray for.

Can anyone help with the list of qualified ICAN tutors in abuja?

But learned people let's look at this from a different perspective... If at above 70 years of age, with over 40 yrs of elite networking, active politicking, and an absolutely strong influence both popular n unpopular among the masses, general Mohammed Buhari has not been able to manage his personal estate to the tone of 27M, people I ask is it Nigeria that he will be able to manage to resourcefulness? .Think about it: if at this age, with all of his records, Buhari is yet to train a son, or successfully supported an enterprise which can comfortably support his course with 27M, I think he lived a failed life. . I think he may have been so obsessed with becoming president for the second time, that he forgot to invest in human resources (even worse, that of his family n loved ones). Nobody who isn't business minded can successfully lead a nation in this age n time. Certainly GMB can't.

Please who are you? Nairaland Police?
I found his comment highly annoying because he wasn't the first to make such statement but he had to insult the organizers in doing so meanwhile they clearly stated the categories on the same paragraph where he read about the offer being only for two states. Some people deserve such replies. Look at his comment below. Good morning.

talk about being high on sepe...lmao

cococandy: I like them
Hehehe.
Better than koboko and pepper to the privates

'Cococandy' you don't mean to say you've served that b4?

Mondisweets: I asked my dad to buy me a bicycle because i was always late for school (primary school) mind you, school was right across the road. Like it literally took me less than 20seconds to get to school

can't stop laffing.........................this thread's made my night

20pounds: Mikel is hurting our economy and our girls at the same time! He would have helped the labour market by dating at least 20 Nigerian side chics. How can he be making all that money and not help our girls? What happened to 'giving back to the society that made you'? It is our girls right to be jealous cos Mikel is a big fish that has refused to show up during a fishing expedition.


Naija babes, wherever you people go(whether babalawo or white garment churches) to 'tie' and confuse sugar daddies, making them abandon their families and buy you the latest phones with monies meant for their children's school fees, it is high time you people visit there again for Mikel.


Osaze is gone, Victor Moses too, Obafemi Martins, Sunday Oliseh, Tijani Babangida, etc etc. Haba! What happened to local content na? We need a legislation on this. Imagine if 2face didn't marry Ann; wetin she for do with her acting that is below average? Or Tiwa Savage didn't marry Tee Bee(abi kini ko); dude for no see money wear designer outfits and form 'Double ol' G'. May be, Don Jazzy for dey tell am;

"Tee Bee, bring my walking stick for me"

"Tee Bee, wash the Range, we are going out in it today

Gombs: Er

I beg to correct you: the above post is a catalyst for deception. You don't follow "supposed" men of God blindly, rather you screen their walks and talks on the scale of truth(the bible)... As a christian, don't 4get it's this same pastor Chris that okayed masturbation, same man ordered that a man and his wife attends different church branch -----thereby tearing family worship apart. Same man will soon come to say it is perfectly ok that he marries another wife and you'll blindly hail him----------SHM

Tallesty1: I understand you perfectly bro, I really do but what ((If)) he had asked his wife in time past to join him in Nigeria and she refused?.

That's my point.

Her refusal to join him or whatever that means is no justification for treating your wife with so much disrespect in the presence of other ladies...if you read the post clearly, you'll see that he hardly make out time for the family, visiting only when a program is on. That's not what we expect from a man of his league who know what the institution of marriage means in the bible

9ja...I hear u

firstolalekan:
# Thinking that every guy that smiles or give nice gesture is lusting after them.
# Thinking because they have holes between the legs, they can get or have anything they want
# Borrowing money and not wanting to pay back. wtf! And if you ask, they will start thinking that you're not cool or one is not a gentleman. Girls una dey crase. I be mumu or father Christmas?
#pouting their thick smelly lips for selfie is what annoys me the most.
#When they misbehave and truly deserves hot slap, they still want you to pamper, beg and treat them "like a lady" nonsense!

. What the fvck is wrong with this dude? Who calls ladies lips 'thick n smelly'?... Are u a smoking fagg? Show some respect bro while making your point, even if you don't have a sis U sure have a mum

You can send your CV and an attached copy of your scanned certificate (specifically B.ED) if you are science or social science inclined to mobi5592@gmail.com for a high paying teaching job within Abuja. If you cannot scan, a snapshot will be ok.

texbaba1: This is so pathetic...

These pple are surely part of the antichrist. if u there and still waiting for the antichrist to come from somewhere, sorry...they are already upon us, and they are humans nd not beast or monsters as some of us would want to imagine. or how else do you axplain comments like ' accept islam or be slaughterd' , its like saying ' take the mark of the beast or be killed'. Honestly, i can see clearer now...am bigining to understand end time prophesies nw.

. I think you should google joels Richardson's book 'the islamic anti-christ'... A free version is available online. It will be the best book you ever read in a decade.

A BOON FOR CONSUMERS.
Some of the oil producers were unhappy, but
American consumers were pleased that Rockefeller
was selling cheap oil. Before 1870, only the rich could
afford whale oil and candles. The rest had to go to
bed early to save money. By the 1870s, with the drop
in the price of kerosene, middle and working class
people all over the nation could afford the one cent
an hour that it cost to light their homes at night.
Working and reading became after-dark activities
new to most Americans in the 1870s.
Rockefeller quickly learned that he couldn’t please
everyone by making cheap oil. He pleased no one,
though, when he briefly turned to political
entrepreneurship in 1872. He joined a pool called the
South Improvement Company and it turned out to be
one of the biggest mistakes in his life.
The scheme was hatched by Tom Scott of the
Pennsylvania Railroad. Scott was nervous about low
oil prices and falling railroad rates. He thought that if
the large refiners and railroads got together they
could artificially fix high prices for themselves.
Rockefeller decided to join because he would get not
only large rebates, but also drawbacks, which were
discounts on that oil which his competitors, not he,
shipped. The small producers and refiners bitterly
attacked Rockefeller and forced the Pennsylvania
Legislature to revoke the charter of the South
Improvement Company. No oil was ever shipped
under this pool, but Rockefeller got bad publicity
from it and later admitted that he had been wrong.
At first, the idea of a pool appealed to Rockefeller
because it might stop the glut, the waste, the
inefficiency, and the fluctuating prices of oil. The
South Improvement Company showed him that this
would not work, so he turned to market
entrepreneurship instead. He decided to become the
biggest and best refiner in the world. First, he put his
chemists to work trying to extract even more from
each barrel of crude. More important, he tried to
integrate Standard Oil vertically and horizontally by
getting dozens of other refiners to join him.
Rockefeller bought their plants and talent; he gave
the owners cash or stock in Standard Oil.
From Rockefeller’s standpoint, a few large vertically
integrated oil companies could survive and prosper,
but dozens of smaller companies could not. Improve
or perish was Rockefeller’s approach. “We will take
your burden,” Rockefeller said. “We will utilize your
ability; we will give you representation; we will all
unite together and build a substantial structure on
the basis of cooperation,” Many oil men rejected
Rockefeller’s offer, but dozens of others all over
America sold out to Standard Oil.
When they did, Rockefeller simply shut down the
inefficient companies and used what he needed from
the good ones. Officers Oliver Payne, H. H. Rogers,
and President John Archbold came to Standard Oil
from these merged finns.
Buying out competitors was a tricky business.
Rockefeller’s approach was to pay what the property
was worth at the time he bought it. Outmoded
equipment was worth little, but good personnel and
even good will were worth a lot. Rockefeller had a
tendency to be generous because he wanted the
future good will of his new partners and employees.
“He treated everybody fairly,” concluded one oil man.
“When we sold out he gave us a fair price. Some
refiners tried to impose on him and when they found
they could not do it, they abused him. I remember
one man whose refinery was worth $6,000, or at
most $8,000. His friends told him, ‘Mr. Rockefeller
ought to give you $100,000 for that.’ Of course Mr.
Rockefeller refused to pay more than the refinery was
worth, and the man . . . abused Mr. Rockefeller.”.
CUTTING COSTS.
Bigness was not Rockefeller’s real g0al. It was just a
means of cutting costs. During the 1870s, the price
of kerosene dropped from 26 to eight cents a gallon
and Rockefeller captured about 90 per cent of the
American market. This percentage remained steady
for years. Rockefeller never wanted to oust all of his
rivals, just the ones who were wasteful and those
who tarnished the whole trade by selling defective
oil. “Competitors we must have, we must have,” said
Rockefeller’s partner Charles Pratt. “If we absorb
them, be sure it will bring up another.”
Just as Rockefeller reached the top, many predicted
his demise. During the early 1880s, the entire oil
industry was in jeopardy. The Pennsylvania oil fields
were running dry and electricity was beginning to
compete with lamps for lighting homes. No one knew
about the oil fields out West, and few suspected that
the gasoline engine would be the power source of the
future. Meanwhile, the Russians had begun drilling
and selling theft abundant oil, and they raced to
capture Standard Oil’s foreign markets. Some
experts predicted the imminent death of the
American oil industry; even Standard Oil’s loyal
officers began selling some of their stock.
Rockefeller’s solution to these problems was to stake
the future of his company on new oil discoveries near
Lima, Ohio. Drillers found oil in this Ohio-Indiana
region in 1885, but they could not market it. It had a
sulphur base and stank like rotten eggs. Even
touching this oil meant a long, soapy bath or social
ostracism. No one wanted to sell or buy it and no city
even wanted it shipped there. Only Rockefeller
seemed interested in it. According to Joseph Seep,
chief oil buyer for Standard Oil:
Mr. Rockefeller went on buying leases in the Lima
field in spite of the coolness of the rest of the
directors, until he had accumulated more than 40
million barrels of that sul-phurous oil in tanks. He
must have invested millions of dollars in buying and
storing and holding the sour oil for two years, when
everyone else thought that it was no good.
Rockefeller had hired two chemists, Herman Frasch
and William Burton, to figure out how to purify the
oil; he counted on them to make it usable.
Rockefeller’s partners were skeptical, however, and
sought to stanch the flood of money invested in
tanks, pipelines, and land in the Lima area. They
“held up their hands in holy horror” at Rockefeller’s
gamble and even outvoted him at a meeting of
Standard’s Board of Directors. “Very well,
gentlemen,” said Rockefeller. “At my own personal
risk, I will put up the money to care for this product:
$2 million-S3 million, if necessary.” Rockefeller told
what then happened:
This ended the discussion, and we carried the Board
with us and we continued to use the funds of the
company in what was regarded as a very hazardous
investment of money. But we persevered, and two or
three of our practical men stood firmly with me and
constantly occupied themselves with the chemists
until at last, after millions of dollars had been
expended in the tankage and buying the oil and
constructing the pipelines and tank cars to draw it
away to the markets where we could sell it for fuel,
one of our German chemists cried “Eureka!” We . . .
at last found ourselves able to clarify the oil.
The “worthless” Lima oil that Rockefeller had
stockpiled suddenly became valuable; Standard Oil
would be able to supply cheap kerosene for years to
come. Rockefeller’s exploit had come none too soon:
the Russians struck oil at Baku, four square miles of
the deepest and richest oil land in the world. They
hired European experts to help Russia conquer the oil
markets of the world. In 1882, the year before Baku
oil was first exported, America refined 85 per cent of
the world’s oil; six years later this dropped to 53 per
cent. Since most of Standard’s oil was exported, and
since Standard accounted for 90 per cent of
America’s exported oil, the Baku threat had to be
met.
