Dpsychologist:
I am well aware of this that is why i created this thread in the first place.

I know sir. My point is ladies in this present generation hate hearing such advice. That is why I started my reply with the sentence: You are talking to the wind

Dpsychologist:
Watch his patterns.

You are talking to the wind.

Alot of Ladies today view men with the patterns you listed as ''broke and stingy''. They want a dirty boxer wearing, rough looking, dredlocked, 24/7 high and intoxicated yahoo boy who can buy them an iphone on the first day they met. To them, if he is able to do that then he can provide and take care of her. They don't want to be a responsible wife to a responsible man. They find such men and such an idea boring. They wish and dream of being a baby mama to a yahoo boy. They find such life exciting.

Dpsychologist:
But marriage is not performance. It is responsibility.

Lol, To most women of today, the responsibility of a man in marriage = 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
but the responsibility of a woman in marriage = 0.

voiceunheard:
There is many reasons for that, beyond your understanding.

Okay naa, continue working silently.

Continue to explain why you are right

voiceunheard:
I have reported the matter to four different organizations apart from the church headquarters.

Talking about insulting people, they are the ones who started the insult first by attacking my character and assuming I am the cause.

Continue explaining yourself to them. Continue arguing and insulting them. You enjoy it.

voiceunheard:
Not until I make a video and show my face so that the whole world will know I am the one. I am silently working behind the scene.

You want people to believe you but you dont want them to see your face?



Goodluck!

voiceunheard:
If I get a lawyer, will you pay the lawyer?

I thought you said you want justice. When people are looking for justice they get a lawyer.

You asking me will I pay the lawyer shows that you really came here to stylishly beg for money.

It is your problem. If you dont have money for a lawyer then go and make a video on facebook and tiktok.

Or go and beg verydarkman so that he will put your case for the whole of nigeria to see on youtube. Shey that will make you happy?

voiceunheard:
I don't have all the time in the world to keep explaining myself here.

You don't have all the time in the world to keep explaining yourself here, yet since February 20th you have been in this forum arguing, insulting and explaining yourself to people why you are right and they are wrong.

Continue.

voiceunheard:
The purpose of this thread/post is a desperate cry for justice - not just in terms of money, but in terms of the truth being acknowledged and accountability.

This is a forum that promotes anonymity. You came to the wrong place to cry. As you have clearly seen, nobody here cares. The least they can do for you is tell you sorry and tell you to move on. If you are that desperate for help, get a lawyer or go on Facebook where everyone can see your face, make a video and complain there.

voiceunheard:
When you don't understand the context, you will keep talking out of point thinking you are proving a point. Like someone said, "I am stylishly begging for money".

If you dont want people to think you are stylishly begging for money then stop complaining and telling them about your financial problems. Its that simple.

voiceunheard:
Are you saying that I did wrong by accepting his promise?

You did wrong expecting him not to fail in his promise. A Christian is suppose to know that A human being can make promises and fail to fulfil them. ONLY GOD CAN A MAKE A PROMISE AND NOT FAIL.

voiceunheard:
Or since what he did affected me in several ways, I should keep quiet and behave as if nothing happened? The pastor did what he did intentionally.

You said you reported him right? And now the headquarters is no longer replying you. Why not accept this as a lesson learned and move on?

ayoncox:
Move one start afresh

The above advise is good.

ayoncox:
tell yourself you must break through this year. Find a new church and have a fresh start, focus on being around wealthy people

The above is a bad advise. There is no such thing as a break through because as long as we are alive, time and unforeseen occurrence will continue to befall us all. Life is a combination of good moments mixed with bad moments.. Finding a new church wont change that and being around rich people can still put her in danger because they might take advantage of her situation.

ayoncox:
focus on adding value and not seeking for help

Good advise.

voiceunheard:
Read this again "You should forgive people who have offended you and let go for your way to be open. How do you expect your way to be open when you are harboring many people in your heart?"

Read this again and take note of the part I made bold: A pastor is not God. As Christians, we’re taught that only God’s promises are unfailing. People, no matter how spiritual they seem, are still human and can fall short. That’s why our trust should rest in God first, not in any individual. At least now you have learned that

voiceunheard:
He owe me nothing, neither did I ask for financial assistance from him. Before someone makes such an expensive promise to someone in distress, the person has to think twice.

A pastor is not God. As Christians, we’re taught that only God’s promises are unfailing. People, no matter how spiritual they seem, are still human and can fall short. That’s why our trust should rest in God first, not in any individual. At least now you have learned that.

From what you described, you’ve had repeated conflicts with parents, siblings, a housemate, and now your pastor. When the same pattern shows up in multiple relationships, it’s worth taking a serious look inward. Maybe the problem here is from you.

Lastly, there are two sides to every argument. You cannot just expect us to believe only your own side of the story. Am sure all parties involved in this story you've given us (parents, siblings, a housemate, and now your pastor) have something to say about you as well.

A Kano State chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Jaffar Bello, has slammed Nigeria’s First Lady, Remi Tinubu for calling for US air strikes on Northern Nigeria.

Speaking in an interview on Trust TV on Friday, Bello said the President’s wife did not call for strikes in the Southeast, where according to him, there is secession agitation.

He was speaking on the US listing of the new bill initiated by the US Congress aimed at increasing accountability for human rights abuses in Nigeria.

The Bill, Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, contains provision for potential sanctions against Fulani militias and former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Bello said, “Recently the wife of the President, the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was in America and she was calling for more American strikes in the northern.

“She specifically stated the northern part of the country. She didn’t call for strikes in the Southeastern part of the country that are suffering from the IPOB and sit-at-home and issues of separation and killings that are going on.

“Wherever America in the past 20 years has conducted war, it’s in Islamic countries from Somalia to Yemen to Iraq to recently in Iran.”

This news will cause sleepless nights and chronic migraine for some people.

United States Senator, Riley Moore has cleared the air on reports alleging that the US is planning to divide Nigeria.

In a statement on Saturday, the lawmaker said though he was in Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with government officials, the discussion of dividing the country never came up.

He stated that in all the discussions, the idea of “dividing the country has not come up in any serious way”.

Moore noted that:

I have traveled to Nigeria and engaged in multiple high-level meetings with Nigerian officials, the Church, aid groups across the country, and IDPs, to get a better understanding of the rampant persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

In my discussions, the idea of dividing the country has not come up in any serious way. Efforts to embolden separatists hurts Christians in Nigeria - especially in the North and Middle Belt.

A destabilized Nigeria would embolden terrorists and make Christians less safe in Nigeria and across the continent.

I remain committed to working to save the lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ - and for that matter, all Nigerians - suffering from the instability wrought by terrorists throughout Nigeria.

The US and Nigeria have just entered into a security cooperation agreement, and that is an important step in tackling the violence in Nigeria and deepening and strengthening the bilateral relationship between our great nations.

God bless you all.

I respect 2Face for his honesty.

The truth is, society is crowded with sociopaths and psychopaths, and a disturbing number of them occupy positions of power and authority.

One of the most meaningful contributions a man can make to society is to be a fully present, responsible father.

Raise disciplined, decent children.

Legendary Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Face, has admitted that he is lagging behind in his fatherly duties.

The singer, who has eight children from four different women, disclosed this in a recent episode of the Mic On podcast hosted by Seun Okinbaloye.

2Baba said he wants to do better as a father, stressing the importance of a present father figure in children’s upbringing.

He, however, noted that he wishes to keep his personal life private.

“I want to really contribute to society positively. I want to be among those who make something meaningful happen. I want to contribute my own little quota to help society. I have not been the best daddy. I want to do more. However, privacy is very important,” he said.

2Face has two children with his first baby mama Sumbo Ajaba-Adeoye, three with his second baby mama Pero Adeniyi, two with his ex-wife Annie Macaulay, and one with his current wife Natasha Osawaru.

Karlovich:
They will come out and be claiming giant of Africa while living in perpetual darkness

Giant of Mediocrity. The quote below really pained me.

Nigeria celebrated like we’d won the World Cup when power generation peaked at 5,543 megawatts in 2025. Maximum daily energy output hit 125,159MWh and government officials were practically doing victory laps. The minister of power held a press conference. NERC released congratulatory statements. Social media influencers praised the administration. But here’s what they didn’t tell you in those press releases: South Africa, with just 60 million people, generates approximately 58,000MW. That’s more than ten times what we produce for a population four times smaller. Egypt, with 104 million citizens, produces around 59,000MW.

I know long write-ups aren’t everyone’s thing, so here are 10 clear, summarised points from the news article.

With elections around the corner, pay close attention to points 4, 6 and 10.

1. Nigeria’s electricity crisis is decades old and unresolved — promises of ending blackouts date back to 1986, yet grid collapses still occur regularly in 2026.

2. Every political era has failed — military rule, civilian governments, privatisation (2013), the Siemens deal, and the Electricity Act have all delivered little to nothing.

3. Power generation remains disastrously low — Nigeria produces under 6,000MW for over 200 million people, despite 66 years of independence.

4. Government celebrates mediocrity — record generation of 5,543MW in 2025 was treated as a major achievement despite being globally insignificant.

5. Peer countries expose Nigeria’s failure — South Africa and Egypt generate ~58,000MW each; Ghana, with 33 million people, produces nearly as much power as Nigeria.

6. Billions in funding have been wasted — over $4.36 billion in World Bank loans for power reforms vanished without fixing generation, transmission, or distribution.

7. State-level power generation is financially unrealistic— building a 300MW plant costs $400 million to over $2.5 billion, far beyond most state budgets.

8. 24-hour power in one year is a political fantasy — Nigeria needs 40,000–50,000MW, nearly ten times current output, making such promises mathematically impossible.

9. The real fix is extremely expensive and long-term — repairing generation, transmission, and distribution requires $80–125 billion and at least 10–15 years.

10. Progress demands honesty, accountability, and realism — Nigerians must reject false promises, demand prosecutions for corruption, support incremental targets, and enable private investment.

By Jonathan Nda-Isaiah

NEPA promised us no more blackouts by 1986. We’re in 2026. Two national grid collapses in the first week of January alone. If you’re not laughing at the absurdity, you’re probably crying in the dark right now because there’s no light to read this column.

I saw that old newspaper headline recently, “NEPA: No more blackouts: 1986 deadline looms”, and I didn’t know whether to laugh or weep. Forty years later, we’re still having the same conversation. Forty years of promises. Forty years of “the government is working on it.” Forty years of darkness.

The question every Nigerian asks is simple: why have we not solved our electricity problem since independence in 1960?

Military regimes came and went, nothing. Civilian administrations rolled in with fresh promises, but nothing. We privatised the sector in 2013, but still nothing. President Muhammadu Buhari signed the Siemens agreement with great fanfare; you guessed it, nothing moved. We passed the Electricity Act, allowing states to generate their own power, and predictably, not one single state has built a functional power plant.

Sixty-six years after independence, we’re stuck below 6,000 megawatts for over 200 million people.

Let me give you some context that will make you angry. Nigeria celebrated like we’d won the World Cup when power generation peaked at 5,543 megawatts in 2025. Maximum daily energy output hit 125,159MWh and government officials were practically doing victory laps. The minister of power held a press conference. NERC released congratulatory statements. Social media influencers praised the administration.

But here’s what they didn’t tell you in those press releases: South Africa, with just 60 million people, generates approximately 58,000MW. That’s more than ten times what we produce for a population four times smaller. Egypt, with 104 million citizens, produces around 59,000MW.

Ghana, yes, Ghana! whose entire population barely exceeds 33 million people, generates about 5,000MW. Let that sink in. Ghana, with 33 million people, generates almost the same power as Nigeria, with 200 million.

We’re celebrating mediocrity while the rest of the continent leaves us in the dust. Or should I say, leaves us in the dark?

The World Bank has thrown money at this problem like a desperate gambler at a losing table. Research shows Nigeria secured approximately 10 World Bank loans worth $4.36 billion over the past decade, specifically to address power sector challenges. Four point three six billion dollars. Gone. Vanished into the black hole of Nigerian corruption and incompetence.

Where did all that money go? I’ll tell you where it didn’t go into your prepaid meter. It didn’t go into fixing the national grid that collapses more often than a knock-off Chinese generator.

Now, after privatisation failed spectacularly, some clever people suggested that states should generate their own power. President Buhari signed the Electricity Act in 2023, giving states the legal framework to build their own power plants. Finally, we thought, let governors compete. Let Babajide Sanwo- Olu show Charles Soludo what Lagos can do. Let Uba Sani Kaduna prove northern states can deliver.

Two years later, nothing. Not one state has built a functional power plant. And before you start abusing governors on social media, let me give you some numbers that will shock you.

Building a 300 megawatt power plant costs between $270 million and $5 billion, depending on the technology.

Let me break that down:
A coal plant (300MW) costs around $400 million, which is roughly N400 billion at current exchange rates.
A solar plant (300MW) costs approximately $500 million – about N500 billion.

A hydroelectric plant (300MW) ranges from $1.65 billion to $2.5 billion; we’re talking N1.6 trillion to N2.5 trillion here. Large-scale infrastructure projects can exceed $5.8 billion when you factor in dams, turbines, and transmission lines.

Now tell me, which state in Nigeria has N400 billion to N2.5 trillion lying around for power generation? Lagos state’s entire 2024 budget was around N2.2 trillion, and that covers everything from roads to schools to healthcare to security. Rivers state, one of our richest, had a budget of about N800 billion.

So when you hear politicians promising that a serious government will deliver 24-hour power supply in one year, please laugh. I was listening to a radio call-in programme last week, and one caller confidently declared that “any serious government can give Nigeria 24-hour power in one year.”

I nearly drove off the road laughing.

Let me be blunt: No Nigerian politician alive today can give us 24-hour power supply in one year. Nobody. Not Bola Tinubu. Not Atiku Abubakar, not Peter Obi. Not Sanwo-Olu. Not Soludo. Not any of these people we’re arguing about on social media. I’m not being cynical. I’m being realistic. The mathematics simply don’t add up.

To provide 24-hour power for 200 million people, Nigeria needs at least 40,000 to 50,000 megawatts of installed capacity. We currently have less than 13,000MW installed capacity, and we can barely generate 5,000MW on a good day. We need to increase generation by nearly ten times.

Even if, and this is a massive if, the federal government found the $50 billion to $80 billion needed for generation, you still have the problem of transmission. Our national grid is so decrepit that it collapses when generation exceeds 5,000MW. The grid wasn’t built for modern Nigeria. It’s like trying to run a supercomputer on your grandfather’s electrical wiring from 1975.

Fixing the transmission requires another estimated $10 billion to $15 billion. Then there’s the distribution, the network of wires, transformers, and substations that bring power to your house. That needs another $20 billion to $30 billion investment. We’re looking at $80 billion to $125 billion total to fix this problem properly. Nigeria’s entire 2026 budget was around N54 trillion, so we’d need three to five times our annual budget just to fix electricity.

Can it be done? Yes. Countries have done it. China added more power generation capacity in the 1990s and 2000s than Nigeria’s entire installed capacity today. India added tens of thousands of megawatts. Even Vietnam and Bangladesh have surged ahead, while we remained stuck.

But it requires something Nigerian politicians have consistently lacked: long-term thinking, honest leadership, and the willingness to make difficult decisions. It requires ending the culture of corruption in the power sector, where contracts are awarded to cronies who can’t deliver. It requires forcing DisCos to actually invest instead of just collecting bills. It requires political will to prosecute officials who have embezzled billions meant for power projects.

Most importantly, it requires patience from Nigerians. This is a 10 to 15-year project minimum if done right. Not one year. Not even four years. Any politician promising you 24-hour power in one election cycle is either lying or delusional.

So where do we go from here?

First, Nigerians need to stop believing the lies. When politicians promise 24-hour power in one year, laugh at them. Publicly. Loudly. Make them explain the mathematics.

Second, we need incremental targets that are achievable. Aim for 15,000MW by 2030. Then 25,000MW by 2035. Set realistic milestones and hold people accountable when they miss them.

Third, states must get creative. If you can’t afford a 300MW plant alone, pool resources. Let south-west states jointly build a plant. Let south-east states collaborate.

Stop waiting for Abuja to solve everything.

Fourth, prosecute officials who have stolen power sector funds. Not the usual Nigerian “committee to investigate” nonsense that goes nowhere. Real prosecutions with jail time.

Fifth, incentivise private investment properly. Give tax breaks to companies that build captive power plants. Make it easy for manufacturers to generate and sell excess power to the grid.

The 1986 deadline came and went. So did 1990, 2000, 2010, 2020. We’re still in darkness. The question is whether 2040 will be any different. It will only be different if we stop accepting empty promises and start demanding honest leadership with realistic plans.

Until then, keep your generators fueled. Because NEPA, sorry, PHCN, sorry, “the DisCos”, aren’t fixing anything anytime soon.

romans and Jews where real people

Nope. Fake. Never Existed.

helinues:
Gazette and this op are just full of anything fake

In Which christian community did that happen In Kwara state?

Everything in your worldview is fake.

The only thing that is real to you is a Drug peddler role playing as president in aso rock.

I hope so.

Niger, Iraq and Chad had US troops on ground in their country all in the name of fighting terrorism.

Niger suspended its military agreement with the U.S.

Iraqi political factions and parliament votes have repeatedly demanded that U.S. forces leave Iraqi territory,

Chadian officials at one point threatened to expel U.S. troops from bases.

One common reason they all seem to have is that terrorism often got worse, not better.

I wonder why.

Felix Morka, the National Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has disclosed that Nigeria and the United States are jointly coordinating efforts to combat terrorism across the country.

Morka made the remarks on Wednesday during an appearance on Arise Television, where he said the partnership is focused on ending persistent violence that has resulted in widespread loss of lives and hardship for Nigerians.

According to him, cooperation between both governments is already ongoing and targeted at dismantling terror networks operating within Nigeria.

“What we know is that the US government and the Nigerian authorities are coordinating very closely in any effort to defeat terror in our country,” Morka said.

He described terrorism as a major source of suffering for citizens, adding that innocent Nigerians continue to be killed senselessly.

“This is something that has brought hardship, pain, and misery to our people, where innocent citizens are slaughtered for no reason by these vile individuals, if they are citizens,” he stated.

Morka also reaffirmed President Bola Tinubu’s determination to deploy all available measures to eliminate individuals and groups responsible for terror attacks.

Addressing fears that US involvement could lead to foreign military intrusion, the APC spokesman dismissed such concerns, saying the current engagement does not amount to an invasion.

“I think whatever needs to be done is what the President is committed to doing to root out these people,” he said.

While acknowledging that concerns about foreign troops can sometimes be legitimate, Morka explained that such fears usually arise when host nations are excluded from decision-making processes.

“I understand those concerns, but in many cases, the concerns are valid where the countries in which these boots step are not at the table in making decisions,” he said.

He stressed that this situation does not apply to Nigeria’s engagement with the United States, noting that discussions and actions are being carried out jointly.

“That’s not the case here. In this case, this is a closely coordinated effort between our government and the authorities in the United States,”[/b]Morka added.

According to him, any measures implemented on the ground will reflect mutual agreements reached by both governments.

[b]“So I’m quite sure that whatever is agreed at the table is what they will do on the ground,” he said.

He concluded by emphasizing that the primary objective of the collaboration is to ensure that those responsible for violence against Nigerians are decisively confronted and repelled.

“But the emphasis here is that those who seek to kill our people are dealt with and pushed back severely,” he said.

Nigeria’s poverty is the consequence of a population that keeps empowering failure.

Nigerians repeatedly vote for corrupt, incompetent, spineless characters and then act surprised when the country sinks deeper into ruin.

How, Just how on earth can you elect a man widely branded a drug peddler and street-level thug as president.

Former Minister of National Planning, Prince Clement Agba, has said that the Federal Government should not be blamed for multidimensional poverty in the country.

Agba made the statement while delivering a presentation at the Honourary National Steering Committee Meeting and Dinner with the OGP Global Support Unit.

He argued that state governments and local government areas should bear the responsibility, as they are constitutionally empowered to provide the facilities required to lift Nigerians out of poverty.

According to him, multidimensional poverty refers to the lack of access to basic necessities such as education, healthcare, sanitation, and potable water.

Agba noted that the country’s constitution clearly assigns responsibility for these services to state and local governments.

“Who should be blamed for the 133 million Nigerians who are multidimensionally poor? The Federal Government? No. The states? Yes. The 774 local councils? Yes.

“And why is this so? When governors assume office, they often concentrate about 80 per cent of resources in state capitals.

“I am glad that Mr. President has been speaking about this in the last two weeks. We forget the communities. We forget the local governments.

“Instead of state and local governments focusing on building primary healthcare centres, they concentrate on tertiary healthcare, which is not their responsibility,” he said.

The death of Jesus did not cause the destruction of the temple. it was the dissatisfaction of the Jews towards the cruelty of the Romans. There was no mention of Jesus in the entire first century. Nobody knows anything about the man that is discussed in the Christian gospels. Jesus never existed in history. so the death of a mythical figure can't cause the destruction of a city.
Josephus Never said anything about Jesus, the passage known as TF is a Christian forgery/addition most likely by Eusebius. who was the first to quote from it.

Nah, the jews and the romans never existed too. all historical records of them are fake.

In all of these persecutions, the faith of our brothers and sisters waxed stronger and deeper in the knowledgeability of the teachings of our lord JESUS CHRIST. Praise the LORD.

NO!

The faith has disappeared. The first century Christians were ready to be killed for being Christians. In fact they viewed being killed for believing in Christ as something joyful.

Our brothers and sisters today fear death. They want God to bless them so they can build mansion and drive Benz. To make things worse they look to trump now as their lord and saviour.

Did the bible mention that witches and wizards affect Christians in anyway.

Yes it did. But not in the way that Churches today or Nollywood has presented it. The real danger is Participation not attack. If a Christian practices witchcraft he or she will not enter the Kingdom of God. (Galatians 5: 19-21)
