Does cooking guarantee happy marriage?.

No, but not knowing how, can guarantee a sad one.

kelvine:
I salute your wisdom.
To me Dangote is not a role model for the youth,his wealth is simply other people's businesses closed down, why ?

You're very correct, let bill gates and mark Zucherberg tell us how they got rich and compare it with Dangote and Adenuga's story, you'll see the difference, theirs will be very logical while our own rich will be just 'work hard and believe in God', most billionaires in Nigeria has a lot behind-the-scenes they'll never tell you, you copy them at your own peril.

kenonze:




There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Aliko Dangote is the richest black man on earth,
It will be reckless if this government ignor him

Why don't we kuku hand over the government to Dangote. It's a shame Nigerian government have been struggling to build a refinery for years, but it looks like rocket science, Yet an individual will do that in the next 3yrs - And what's funny is that he's not using his own money, behind the scene na government they support am. All our politicians are political dealers, they prefer to support people like Dangote and get their cut than to build it for Nigeria where all eyes will be on them. NEPA/PHCN will not work because it is not handed over to the real private sectors, but politicians who are not willing to invest in infrastructure to make it work - CORRUPTION is FANTASTICALLY in our DNA.

You don't seem to understand. How can you fix leadership when the leader comes from the people. A people with a messed up mentality. Literacy or the lack of it is not the problem of Nigerians but exposure. And it is the lack of it that i am trying to tell you is wrong when you say not to marry a woman who cannot cook or pray for an hour.

There are many good leaders in this country, there are many right thinking people, the problem is that due to long bad military rule and some bad politians in the past, a system as been created and only favour the bad ones, many good guys will rather stay clear. If they choose to go, they either submit to the system or become lone voices, and the bad guys keep making the system worse.

Talking leadership, I grew up as a Christian and I learnt a lot of good leadership skill from the church, it didn't make me think worse, it made me better and I can say that for so many people, that's not to say that every church teaches the right things, some don't. The problem I see is that people who don't like Christians wants to seize opportunity to attack Christians, men of God, etc. They're not the cause of anybody's problem, if the people are following them, they earned it, if you want people to stop following them, you have to earn it. By the way, I don't support idolization of any man, because even man of God is a man, people go into extremes because of illetracy or the transfer of African culture of idolizing something into Christianity _ A true christian leader will caution his people at those extremes.

Here's what you need to understand. Get up and go outside and look around you. Either today or tomorrow. Then ask yourself; is this the way right thinking human beings think? The fact that you don't see a problem in the way Nigerians think points to a general problem in Nigeria. The current situation in Nigeria is a reflection of the thought process of it's citizen. In fact, the thought process of any countries citizens will reflect in the way the country is. It is not magic that Nigeria has not produced one decent leader in over half a century. When the citizens don't think right how will they produce a right thinking leader? I need you to reflect on this. Half a century. Think about that.

See don't deceive yourself, I know where you're going. People will have their believes till eternity, you can't force people out of it, you teach people out of it with your superior arguments. Now in Nigeria religion is a problem, I admit a lot of bad things are done in the name of religion. It is inbuilt in man to have faith in something, even if you don't believe in God, that's still your faith, The difference between Nigeria and a place like the US is not religion because they have all our religions and more. the difference is the level of education and the level of enlightenment, when we have more Nigerians developed, more of our population educated, we'll have a better and civilized people. It is because of this illiteracy that religion also becomes issue, because enlightened Christians, Muslims and even atheist can live together in an organized place and there will be no problem, they no their boundaries and everybody respect it. The second problem is leadership, this to me is the main problem because when the leadership is fixed, education will be fixed, becomes it becomes the priority, but in a country where all leaders are hustlers, they'll never fix education, the roads, or anything - that's why this environment will be like this for a long time.

Us is christian dominated country and they're developed. Dubai is a Muslim dominated country and they're doing fine, China is a communist country, they're doing great now, India have thousands of gods they worship, they one of the best in Medicine and IT now. If we have all kinds of religion abroad, and it doesn't hinder their progress, then our problem is beyond religion, it's illiteracy and our leaders know this, that's why they'll never invest in it. The second his leadership itself, the 3rd is religious extremism which is caused by illiteracy, that's my take.

How has your respect improved the lives of Nigerians? I don't think you understand what respect means. If Nigerians had an iota of respect, the country would not be the way it is today. Respect is all encompassing. Respect for life, for your environment, for each other, etc Nigerians obviously have none else the country would not be the way it. Respect is not just about respecting old age alone. Especially for a man spewing rubbish.

Now that's part of the problem, you said the man is spewing rubbish, that's what it is to you, but to others, it's the best information - Maybe we need to start listening to you now since you have something better to offer. But you can't force people, these people are listened to because they pulled the crowd, they have something pulling people. If you say that thing is rubbish, you don't insult or bully people out of it, you start your own movement, and show people the Original way, then we can see if a cockroach will even follow you. If you can't pull people to something more Authentic leave people to live their lives, don't complicate their problems with yours.

pippimp:
The congregation are Nigerians. Do they live in the church? They'll go home and imbibe that messed up mentality into their children thereby spouting more mentally phucked up Nigerians. The problem in Nigeria is not it's leaders or the economy. It is the way it's people think. It is really not your fault though. You and so many others are a product of your environment and upbringing. You just don't know. You can't think outside what you have experienced or exposed to.

How do you think? do you have the best method on how people should think now? should we start following you since you know better? I don't get it, this is a secular country, some say they're Muslims, some Christians, some atheist, some free thinkers.Nobody will ever be able to tell anyone how to think or behave, but by your choice, you decide that you will benefit from a body of believe and follow it - Do you people want to start bullying people to not follow their believes again because you know better? whatever you believe, leave people to live their lives - Tomorrow now, some people will say they're gay and we'll hear some of you saying ppl should let them be - Maybe the devils own is always more attractive.

'Nigeria's problem is the way they think', is everybody thinking the same way abroad? don't we have Muslims, Christians, atheist even more religions than Nigeria?. Till eternity people will have their believes, even if you say you're atheist, it is still your believe, nobody can force you otherwise, the redeemed members have their standards, that standards is not killing anybody, they're not doing anything against the law LIVE AND LET LIVE!

sapiosexual1:
Nigerians and our idolation of "men of God " is sickening. We can't seem to think independently once a "man of God " is involved.
Little wonder we're the most religious nation (yes more religious than the Vatican and Saudi combined) yet the most backward,sinful and corrupt nation.
The Lord knows those who are His.

Even if he's not a man of God, is it okay to disrespect a man of 74yrs Old, if you don't respect God in his life at least African culture teaches respect for elders, Any small thing, you see people open their mouth and release all kinds of profanity.

I really don't know why I'm surprised, it's a sign of the end, people will hate God, and they'll disguise it has disgust for the man of God. Pst Adeboye will understand, it's part of the persecution. The man was instructing his members, why should it concern everybody? he wasn't reading constitution on national Tv, he didn't put gun in people's head that they must obey it, but no, we must get at him (Maybe get at God), any small thing you see them unleash, it's the most exciting thing to do now, okay, it's alright.

owoshuyi:
pastor adeboye no mention anybody name and he doesn't care what akin alabi thinks. its an advice to his followers. so its left for u to make ur own choice or follow his advice. shikena

I don't even know how people reason, the man was addressing his congregation, some other ppl somewhere are crying more than the bereaved

luka1981:
If u cant get a job why geting wife?
It is easier to get a job than to get a wife. Do it one after the other. The pastor said job not high paid job. You can start from selling pure water but start somewhere.

Just Makes Sense

Great, Reping Naija well, more on this kind of good news plz!

Zceesneh:
if not for the respect i have for him, i would have blasted him, Adam wasn't working when God created eve, it was after adam and eve commited sin that man began to work

You don't know your Bible, WORK was not a curse, LABOUR was, Adam was working, God told him to tend the garden, to keep it and to be incharge of the animals, but after the fall God said his Work will be labour, he will sweat before he eat.

If guys are demanding that the woman must know how to cook and all, Is it not fair that you also find good work to do to take care of the her and the children? If the work no dey, pray and hustle, God go answer if you're serious.

Esperooke:
God bless Daddy G. O.
But, how many ladies can pray for one hour nonstop? I think there should be a waiver to this. But, other point are spot on.
Fortune hunters, how market?

That prayer issue they give many girls headache. To me what's important for a Christian man is to see an attitude of prayer in the woman, don't worry when she marry and issues that coming up, she'll pray more than one hour sef. Nigerian women solve most problems by prayer, while men run up and down. It's important to have a praying wife, NA GOOD SPIRITUAL BACKUP

All these noise, the man was talking to his congregation and not the whole Nigerians, don't follow his advice if you don't believe it, it's not by force.

haryomikun:
Hmmmm... Let's say the 'lazy women' don't get married, another story will come up again that its the devil and a spirit wife that's holding their future husbands.

The world is too 'male-oriented'

Why didn't he advise women not to marry lazy men. The blame is always on the women. Always!

If nah man matter now, they'll start saying 'Stick with him, his life will be better'

Check my signature for an interesting read.

And if dem born your phone well, call me woman wrapper

You only eared what people quoted, he also said, 'don't marry a jobless man'

adegeye38:
Ambode still an under achiever to me , Lagos state IGR is over 30 Billion as declared by the LSG ( combine IGR of 23 states), Lagos state also receive the highest federal allocation in the country.
i expected lots more concrete projects and not commissioning street lights.

Have you been in Nigeria? Is it only street light he has commissioned?

scarface04:
****.. do you know how much FB allocation goes to lagos state? after kano the highest goes to lagos.. lagos as a state can generate it own revenue without even depending on the allocations coming from the FB just like Texas in the united state..

All these excuses don't hold water. Do you know how much it takes to run Lagos? do you know how much responsibilities Lagos is taking on, if Lagos is allocated double what it's getting, now, it's not too much because Lagos is a small nucleus of Nigeria itself, presently as we're speaking hundreds of boys are coming from any village in the east, north and south all over Nigeria to Lagos, that is what the governor is expected to manage - Anyone who's Lagos governor and can handle it should be praised. Someone was saying. give Lagos to Fayose and see; Fayose will fail under pressure in 2 months, because that his Amala politics won't work here, this is a place for serious business minded people, even Ambode was struggling for like 4 months before he started having a grip on governance. Lagos is a case of "To whom much is given, much more is expected".

manutdrichie:
How i wish you know these

1. Lagos is former Nigeria's capital, therefore earns extra 1% from the federation acct

2. Monthly IGR is up to 100bn but 30bn is being
declared, therefore Lagos state can only be compared to 23 states join together

3. Ambode has no business commissioning street light

4. Since 2014 Fayose has been paying debt incurred by Fayemi administration

With this few analysis of mine i hope am able to convince you that Ambode is an under achiever

Keep the propaganda on if it makes you sleep well at night. He's paying Fayemi's dept and he can afford front pages of any paper just to insult the president, he has such state burden but every national issue concerns him, all the money he looted and all the hotels he built are not enough to pay the said dept 10times?

And for your information, do you know why he was removed the first time? fake poultry projects and all the embezzlements - The only reason why he came in again was because a certain IB was deceived to believe that he can deliver the west.

oyetunji12:
I lov dis u made ur point clear.......tanks

Great! Glad to hear that.

oyetunji12:
please be honest to yourself, will ajimobe (oyo governor) do dis?, will aregbesola ( osun governor) do dis? Even d mentiond ambode (lagos governor) won't do dis.......dnt misquote me am nt sayin ambode is nt tryin ooo bt dre is different btw tryin nd b dre to help d masses getin close 2 d poor as been 1 tin fayose is knwn for..........u dnt ve to b sentimental in everytin pls

Ambode doesn't need to do this, this is not governance. This is not why he was voted into the office - identifying with the poor is not a dividend of democracy, but empowering the poor with good government policy/program is. Tell me, which one is easier, to create a plan for all the downtrodden in the state that empower them and feeds them long after you're gone or to pick just one of them and call camera man to come and cover how much you sympathize with them. And that's all he does, share rice with 0.001% of the state once in a month, go eat ponmo, how does this change anybody's life, if he's doing the right things, even if he can't go out to see all of them, he would have touched their lives where he is and they'll be praying for him, that's the power of good governance.

sufficientGod:
Tell others too, to seek attention. if Aregbesola should seek attention just like Fayose ,Osun will be a better place .How many of them can relate with people like that.

So this action now makes Ekiti a better place? This kind of thinking makes me feel sick, especially when it's coming from youths, it's as if we don't know what to expect from governance, smh!

AngelAhnie:
you are flashh

Helping someone is now hypocrisy abi?

Dont know if politics matter more to you people than reality, is it that you're truly deceived or you just like to use every occasion to score political points, because anyone who's not gullible and can think clearly knows Fayose doesn't care about anybody but himself, all he does is win over enough Oppositions to fight for him. He is the man of the people and he refused to pay his state salaries, he is the man of the people and he cannot point at any tangible project he'd done since he resumed office, he is the man of the people and his best project is stomach infrastructure for a few hungry people, he can't even feed them consistently for a whole week. What will Ekiti people be able to point to has something he did for them when he leaves power? He loves the people, yet he's busy stealing their money, He love the people yet he has over 4 billion in his account and the workers have not been paid since January - yes he doesn't have money, but he has the one to buy the front page of newspapers to abuse the president, he has the one to travel to china for a useless purpose, and his account his filled with stolen wealth. I reiterate, his supporters are either sincerely gullible or are just looking for anybody to play the opposition, even a criminal.

Fayose does not do Governance, he only do Politic and publicity, anything for the camera - even senseless things.

maestroferddi:
Why not speak for yourself other than making a very careless generalization?

PDP is still the most popular party in Nigeria, nay Africa.

, keep living in lala land, na there you go dey? They're the most popular, let's see in 2019. A party based on sharing money, when the money is no more there for them to share, what will hold them together? Is that not evident already now?

TonyeBarcanista:
Obviously, you didn't bother to read the post... Nigerian youth

Why try to Rebrand a bad product, why can't the youths start a whole new product. If you really care about this Nation, leave PDP and start a new party with new ideology and purpose, except there's something you're gaining there that you're not telling us. The vast majority of Nigerians have made up their minds about PDP and it's hard to change a made up mind. Even if APC fail, people will only move to a newer party, PDP is either dead or dying

JAPAN COPIED NO ONE.

US IMPORTS SMART ASSES FROM GERMANY, JAPAN AND ISRAEL TO DEVELOP TECHNOLOGY AND AFTER THAT WITH THEIR SUPERIOR WEALTH AND SOCIAL ADVANCEMENT THEY MAKE GLOBAL IMPRESS WITH IT.

So who started building cars first, go and check your history, Asian's strength generally is not in INVENTING a totally new thing, they get those things from America and Europe and break them down and rebuild, then they Innovate, so much that you might even prefer theirs to the real inventors.

Stupedinluv:
That's how it has been from old.
Wont it look abnormal if women are the major innovators?
We dont want you feeling ashamed, so do the needful.

Oh! I thought you guys said what men can do, women can do better, do you only believe in that cliché when it's convenient?

And there's nothing for men to be ashamed of, most inventions are done by men, we would like to welcome a woman's invention for a change, I mean, a woman who can produce "Original" designs

Stupedinluv:
You are a man remember. The head and leader. Should i be creating while you sit on your weight? hell no.

Ah! You they run now, he don become man and woman issue, yea that's very convenient, naija style!
