Very unfortunate about the forensic lab. I just couldn't understand the reason behind burning it . I question the effect of burning tires not to talk of infrastructures. It never made sense to me to vandalize all these in the name of protest


I guess they were just burning anything related to lagos as the protest was hijacked by illiterate touts .

If you will remember the "George Floyd " movement, the BLM movement . Almost every blacks and celebs participated in the protest. Some people decided to take advantage of the situation to break into shops and steal things.

We just like to trade blames in this parts of the world. The bolded part was unnecessary.

Should people only be praised when they do right but not be blamed when they err?

There's somuch lesson in this Mobad death

Caee to share?

Bmaster:
reduce how addictive you are to something should have been the heading,not stopping it in it's entirety.
People don't change,know this and know peace

Exactly.
Only Jesus can change a person and take away their additictions.

EmperorCaesar:
Do u know why people even grieve when their loved ones die?

The grieving isnt about the dead, as he/she has transited and shifted to a diff realm, the grieve is for those he left behind as they would miss him and will never get to see him again


Again, death isnt a negative occurence, the dead even prefer death as that is the only time they experience eternal peace in their nothingness

Clearly you're not a Christian.
Death as you rightly said from a Christian understanding is a transition from this realm to the another realm. Depending on how one lives his life, one m either transits into heaven/paradise or hell. That means either eternal rest/peace or eternal suffering/death.

I sincerely hope Akeredolu received grace to repent before he passed on. I believe his undoing started when he began to re-establish and emoiwer the traditional gods in Ondo state through the Amotekun. He even caused believers to support idolatry.
God's judgement lately is very speedy.
Let's be careful and know who the true God is and that His name is Jealous.

A word is enough for the wise.

BreconHills:
I am always struck by how quickly we inculcate the language of a dying western civilization. Moral relativism is a major reason for that decline. When you say "his truth" you make opinion to become fact. So if his truth is that he can recover from illness by electrocution, he should be allowed to find an energized exposed electrical current and do the needful?

Finally by shutting down the person you are responding to, you make a categorical statement that opposes your relativist first statement and ask him to accept your view.

That's the problem - relativism itself is subject to relativism. I sincerely hope you don't impose this on your current of future family because it is the shortest route to dysfunction.

Merry Christmas.

Macaroni's fight was a fight for all youths and well meaning elders. A fight against the corrupt leadership and institutions of Nigeria.

The said leaders also responded by decommissioning SARS and made necessary promises.
However the protest was hijacked by the usual suspects IPOB and with the agenda to wreak havoc and cause mayhem.

Following this thread https://www.nairaland.com/7947584/whats-greatest-achievement-2023, it important we start making plans for 2024 because who fails to plan, is planning to fail.

What's your goal for 2024?
Me:
👍 I intend to save $1700 by October 2024
👍 Start a business by November 2024
👍Get married in 2024

I have many plans but I have come to find that it is God's plan that will prevail.
So my plan is to know and do Gods plan/ will for me through out 2024 and beyond.

His plans in 2023 have been more than mind-blowing. I am anticipating all so fearfully and joyfully what's in store for 2024, trusting that His plans for me are good and not evil, to give me hope and an expected end.

A very blessed and favorable year 2024 to you and me in Jesus name.

I have fought so many wars in my life and won all with the exception of Onychophagia (Nail Biting)


Now remains one single habit that I have been fighting from my early childhood (ONYCHOPHAGIA)
The sweetest in the life of nail bitters is the nails and it's cuticles.

I'm now 44 years old, married with kids, have my own house, self employed and doing well in business ,good, stable and predictable cash flow.. I had fought so many difficult wars and habits in my 44 years on Earth, one of the most difficult is nail biting.

To the glory of Almighty God,I won this war in 2023.
When I reflect on what Jehovah has done for me, I can only thank God and AI bards that gave me the tips on quitting Onychophagia.

Since June 2023, I never bit my nails.
You too can win one of the most embarrassing, non-harmful but oneb the most difficult habits and wars to win.

I don have the picture before I won the war against onychophagia, but the picture as at today is posted.
This is the best Xmas gift I had ever received from myself for myself in life.

Thank you Jesus Christ. I won onychophagia after 44years on earth 🌎🌎🌎🌎.
You too can win.

Only those who have been there or still battling with this will understand the gravity of this testimony.
My brother I am so happy for you.
I'm on and off with it now but I am almost there too.
By God's Grace 2024, I'll be sharing this along with other victories/testimonies.

AbuTwins:
Send your son to be hanged too?
And what does God need a son for?

What exactly is your point?

AbuTwins:
1. Christmas wasn't mentioned by name in the Bible just as trinity!

2. Many so called big pastors has called it idolatrous!

3. Jesus spent about 33 years on earth and he didn't for once celebrated Christmas!

4. The Christmas tree and Santa are pathetic symbols of paganism!

Celebrate him the proper way.
Just celebrate and be joyful because he has brought good will/good tiding/favor to us all.

A very merry Christmas to every nairalander.
It's the season the whole world joins Christians to celebrate our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ on the 25th December of every year.

However way you celebrate this day, do not forget who this day is about- JESUS CHRIST.

Do not forget his purpose- For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should notnperish but have eternal life. John 3:16

Do not forget his legacy- That he might live through you and I in Spirit, in Love and in Power as sons of God even as we put our Faith in Him and continue to know God through Him obeying as He leads us through life. John 17:3,

As we celebrate this year's Christmas, please renew your relationship with God by desiring to know Jesus Cjrist personally. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. And no one can come to the Father except through Him. He has all the answers to our questions and solution to our problems. He knows our Past, present and future. And He wants to make you His son, disciple, servant and friend.

Often times during this season we expect gifts from people. As good as this is, let's also share this gift with others- the Gift of Salvation and Love.
If you have things/properties you're no longer using, they may be valuable to others. You can donate to those in need around you or to a church or a motherless home, etc and put a smile and a glint of hope in someone's face. This is what the season is all about. To renew our hope and faith in God and people.

God bless you and I and God bless our great country Nigeria. 2024 will be glorious for us spiritually and materially in Jesus name.

May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God and the Sweet Fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now and for ever. Amen.

Emefiele is stealing banks. Buying banks with phantom payments. What a wonderment !


Emefiele is a financial terrorist ans should serve ten life times behind bar

This deserves a Nollywood blockbuster.
The guy is Nigeria's Wolf of Wallstreet.

Vinnie2000:
She initiated sex and I rebuked her with my 'Rod'.

You consider adultery sinful but you don't think fornication is??

Quality20:
In the past, many pastors married and converted ashewo women and they became responsible and religious but these days, many guys flow with hookup girls.

Guys can u really marry those religious hookup babes u are dating or u guys are only having fun? Are u trusting enough of ladies? Remember some of them only did hookup because of some problems bordering on finances, like been with younger siblings who need money or sick parents etc.

This is an interesting table that only God knows how he decides their fate.

Natbrowny:
Kunle

Tell us something new about Nollywood.

Coz this info na since 1990s
Same info for other industries. Even Banking, Oil and etc etc etc.

Na clique. Very dangerous clique

Confam. Na who dey the mattter e dey new to.
Hope it's not what I'm thinking.
Glad his head is in the right place.

Botragelad:
Have you lost your mind?
Is there a law against wearing a brassiere or whatever you call it.

It's like saying a bloke can't come in because he's not wearing a singlet. How does that make any sense? You're the same one who moans about government injustice but you back injustice against others or things you don't like. Isn't that hypocritical!

By your logic, you don't challenge your tutor and expect him to cave in but you want your president to cave in to your demand on how to make the country better. You are saying she has no right to speak and stand up for herself yet you moan the judiciary is rubbish, you want everyone to shut up and let their right get stomped on, yet you lot whinge about abuse from the police.

The audacity of that bloody wimp. I can't picture this happening in the US or any civilised country. You are bound to get your arse sued for harassment!

What is justice? What is injustice?
Who decides what is fair?
Fairness/Justice is relative when it comes to institutions and nations.

If the school has rules against her style of dressing, then this is justice.
If the school has no rule against her style of dressing, then it is injustice.

She has done the right thing by bringing it to public scrutiny. And hopefully this gets to the school authority too.

How is this useful without your location?
And you be graduate.

Wakatumbit:
My wife is very insecure and it's making me tired.
She's always suspicious of everything, I can't go out, I can't answer calls.
The worst part is that she will be keeping malice with me cus she's suspecting me, she won't even say anything to me.

If a someone who I don't want to talk to calls me on my phone, and I decline the call, she will take offense. There was a day my mum was calling me and I didn't answer the call on time, she became mad that it was a woman calling and I don't want to answer the call.

If I tell her I'm going to the gym in the evening she will become suspicious. I can't even talk to my clients who are females in her presence because she Will be always jealous.

As I write this, she isn't talking to me cus I went to the gym yesterday evening.

I'm tired. She has never caught me cheating before because it's something I don't do

This story is not adding up.
Your wife suspects your every call all of a sudden?
What changed?
Do you hide things from her?
How us your communication together?
Is she also hiding things from you?

Youay nit have committed the actual physical cheating but I suspect you're wmotionally cheating on her.

generationz:
Mammon is an idol same as gods of the land. You must give to ceaser what belongs to Ceasar to be a traditional ruler if you refuse then you must be ready to battle power for power till Gods power prevails.

Mammon is the god of money/wealth.
God is not against kingdoms. Is the Monarchy in UK mammon?
It is quite issue if he worships the gods of the land. But clearly he has established that he worships and serves the Almighty God.

generationz:
No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon [money, possessions, fame, status, or whatever is valued more than the Lord. Matthew 6 vs 24 to 26.

Can you please relate this with the topic?
How does being a king equate to serving Mammon?
By inference, a believer should not be a politician.

MSN1:
One big lesson this year taught me was UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

A lot of people make the mistake of sidling people, tagging them enemies, but I will tell u guys freely that; THE BEST PEOPLE THAT STOOD BY ME ALL THROUGH, WERE THOSE THAT I NEVER EXPECTED OR THOUGHT THEY LIKED ME.

I*f you must have squad, BE VERY VIGLANT.
*If you have friends, TEST THEM TO KNOW, WHO IS REAL.
*If you must live life peacefully, search and know those that love you UNCONDITIONALLY.

--Pretend sometimes, in order to know who gat u---

One thing I MUST do in 2024 (God's willing) is to; pass through it quietly, devoid of squad or unecessary closeness.

The very people that will show you shege when things relapses, are those you can NEVER expect.

NA SQUAD KILL JESUS.

STREET NOR GET MEMORY.

A BLINK OF EYE, IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Now playing Billing by Spyro ft Davido.
I'm happy for you. Your eyes have open.
Truth is do what you can to assist people but don't expect them to reciprocate.
We all need people but not squads. Just the right circle of people across age, gender, profession.
And you may need to test their loyalty in little things.

But most importantly, and I'm glad you figured this out yourself, please determine to do 2024 solo.
And spend it building a relationship with God to Know who you are in Christ and rededicate your life to Him.
Every thing begins to fall in place for you.
The right effects of people will qlso start coming your way.

Note: You will like wise meet evil people in churches cos most Nigerians as evil as we are, we belong to a church or mosque. So don't go there for friendship either. Go there to know Christ and build a relationship with God through the Holy Spirir. Please ensure you're baptised in the Holy Spirit.
There's so much about life that starts making sense to you once that journey is started.

Seek ye first rhe kingdom of God and His righteousness, all other things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33

God bless you and have a favored 2024.

AbuTwins:
How many people need that?

Those who need it know themselves.

Ms202309:
Soun throne is a pretty decent royalty and dynasty, Ogbomosho isn't fetish , it's just like a political leadership

Says who?
All our traditional kingdoms are fetish and entrenched in the old religions.

However when God remembers a land, he appoints men after his heart to rule the kingdoms in Spirit and Truth. Through Pastor Olaoyr, Ogbomosho has and will see the light of Christ overcome every darkness and the powers that have kept the souls of men bondage for ages.

It is a great new era for the Yoruba kingdom and by God's grace the rest of Nigeria. Hallelujah!

Theopneustos:
Good nairalanders
Please how do you handle a situation where you have a senior colleague in your workplace that has a clique that supports her secret acts that are contrary to the workplace do's and donts.
In addition to that tries to discredit you before the MD because you don't join her clique.
Is It to report her to the MD or let it slide?
She's so toxic but pretends a lot before the boss

It depends on how influential the senior staff is and your organisational structure.
As a subordinate to her, do not overstep your boundary.

Find a way of addressing the issue with your boss. Don't make it personal.
What secret acts is she engaging in?
Are you sure your boss is not also compromised?
Depending on the impact of her secret acts affects the job and the office atmosphere.

Finally, it's OK not to join a clique but you have to be sure you're on top of your game and stay loyal to your organisation.
In case your boss is like wise compromised, you may need to start looking for a better job before whatever their doing backfires, as it always does.
You can send an situation report to your HR when thr timing is right.

AbuTwins:
Miracles, breakthrough and prosperity! What next?

Salvation.

Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. Isaiah 55:6-7

For every thing, there's time. God works with times and seasons.
I hope this encourages you who need to hear this. Here's my testimony.

About this time last year, I was depressed. I had backslided for 3 whole years- spiritually, emotionally, socially and financially I was a mess.
I hated my job, hated my co-workers, hated that I was still unmarried and not yet successful. Basically I hated every thing about myself.

Alcohol had become my addiction.
Every morning I needed a bottle of whatever spirit I could get. Mid-day I needed to refuel once it started wearing off. And of course I needed a night-cap to get me through the night. I had sold my car so I could fund my addictions.

Unfortunately my system was also giving way. I drank so much my liver was getting damaged. As much as I wanted to drink, my system could not take it any more. I knew I was dying.

I was a foundation class teacher before I backslided, I knew what it means to be spiritually dead and that it was only a matter of time before I would be physically dead with the lifestyle I was keeping.

I had tried to return to God but to no avail. I had gone to various church programs to be healed and to be delivered but after a few days my addictions would kicked in again. My colleagues made matters worse. I couldn't stand my colleagues any more but didn't want to quit till I got another job or my japa-hustle clicked. Long story short, I had given up. I thought God had given up on me cos scripturally it is impossible for one who has once encountered christ and became an apostate to be restored. Heb 6:4-6

But just when I had given up, about this time last year, while drunk as usually and strolling to find a road side food for dinner, a street neighbour invited me to join him for bible study. And for some reason I agreed and followed him. It was a small church nearby. The pastor's message was about open doors- things we did that gave demons right over us. It sounded interesting. But what won me over was his genuine interest in me. He practically focused on me and even though I didn't want to be seen, he found a way of getting me to ask questions which he provided answer to even though I didn't agree with it all, his sincere interest really won me over. Then after the service he'd call to check up on me and pray for me as well.

I knew then that God had remembered me. So I rededicated my life to Christ at the cross-over service.
It was not easy but I knew the sacrifices I had to make and I knew I needed the real relationship with God and not just the religion.
And God granted me answers to my prayers.
I was able to quit my addictions- alcohol, sex, etc
Depression was gone and replaced by hope in God and an inexplicable peace and Joy.
By April, I had received perfect health as if I had been given brand new heart, liver and other organs. Even an STI was completely healed just like that.

I was hoping God would help me secure a new job but instead he kept me there- the same work and people I hated became my training field. I began to love my job because God was building me through it. And began to love my colleagues because I saw the role each one was knowingly or unknowingly playing in my spiritual, emotional and professional growth. I didn't and still don't like all of them but I love them in their unique qays. And by October, I became certified associate project manager, sponsored by the organisation.

It's amazing what God has done for me this year 2023. I cant imagine doing this year without Jesus Christ.
This was supposed to be my worst year and I actually feared I might not make it to see my birthday this year. But God turned my story around.
With all the turbulence in Nigeria, God created a Goshen for me and I can only imagine how many more people have this same experience this year as well.

Year 2024 is another year to renew our relationship with God. One of the things I learnt through this all is that there are times and seasons God can easily be found. End of the Year is one of such times. Desperately and humbly seek to know God and follow Jesus Christ. Cast all your burdens on him. Do not let the online jamboree and fake life distract your. Do not let family and peer pressure push you into depression and making decisions you will regret yet again in 2024.

I pray God gives us the Right Heart to Seek Him and that God gives us the Faith to receive and believe Him. And I pray that as we keep seeking Him, we will come to find him and know him personally and experiencially, singing of His faithfulness through our own testimonies in Jesus name. Amen.

But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Iyabo ojo talks too much, she brought this to herself

May God give our women wisdom.
You see that thing called wisdom? It's too priceless.
Iyabo Ojo will have to learn and unfortunately she'll learn the hard way- 500 million naira on top of the already existing lagos state fine?
Hope her new flame has enough money.

L1TTLE:
She brazenly told me "I have a 5yr old son", before she did I was crushing hard, then she told me she has a son today, I was taken aback for a while but much to my shock, I find her more attractive now? Instead of getting repulsed by the new information I want her more now, is it weird? Lol, I'm even thinking she can bring her son and live with me like we're family.

Please advise me.

She's honest with you upfront. Good.
If you love her and you can handle the responsibilities, marry her, don't make the mistake of co-habiting without doing the needful.
