Happy new year people

Happy New Year to you Solvik.
I am a Foursquarian too.
This theme will be our testimony for the year 2024 and beyond in Jesus name.

Kobojunkie:
Use your brain for once. Why in the world would I seek to approve that Jesus Christ condemned, and warned are thieves who are against Him and His followers?

So there is no Christian except Jesus Christ and may be you?

Kobojunkie:
They are all the same frauds.... You are simply hoping you will gain from them in some way hence the reason why you exalt them above the other gods of men out there. Their own brand of lies is not different or better than that of the over 47000 cults denominations out there in Christianity.

Is there any body or any believer you approve of?

Moment lady calls her dad before accepting her fiance’s marriage proposal

It shows her dad did a great job of teaching her accountability.
He simply needs to ensure she trusts him enough to also become accountable to him.

It's a major life decision and she didn't call her girl friends but called the person who has been responsible for her all her life. That's a lady with sense.

MrPresident1:
Matthew 24:44-46
King James Version
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.

Until we see this Person, this Anointed of the LORD, coming over us to lead us, better to approach 2024 with tepid expectations, and draw closer to God in all our doings.

You and I and everyone who believes in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, and have been baptised in the Holy Spirit are the anointed of God and His judges on earth. Selah

We simply need to be focused to grow into maturity in our callings and leading of the Holy Spirit.

Giftedhand47:
I have a chronic anger problem I've tried not to get angry and overlook things but this demonic spirit will just do his thing
Pls help me i really need tips from Nairaland family.don't know I may get help here . Thanks

There have been some good advices here. However they are simoly cutting off thr branches. You need to go to the root cause and cut it off.

Luckily for you, end of the year is the best time to make resolutions. The best resolution is to repent.

1. Go Cross-over service in a nearby church
2. Rededicate your life to God by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
3. Join the foundation class to know what the gospel is and what you've been delivered from and what you're saved into.
4. Build your prayer and bible study life- both personally and in the church.
5. Allow God to transform your life by choosing to obey His word. Let your life be for his testimonies.
6. Determine to work for God. We are all commanded to preach the gospel.
7. Be humble.
8. Honor men but only fear and worship God.
9. Beware of church people- even your pastor and church members.
Everyone has their different stages/phases in their walk with God. While some have backslided but still in ministry. They are the ones that cause most people to stumble. Build your discernment of spirits.
10. Don't seek attention. Allow yourself ample time to grow in grace. Seek to know God experientially.

As you are busy seeking thr kingdom of God and zhis righteousness- you will be building both the gifts and fruit of the Holy Spirit.
Anger and other fruits of the flesh (your old nature) dies away.

DeadCountry:
This ignorant criminal is still parading himself as representative of Igbos, doing his British paid work of distracting our people from Biafra restoration.

And you're busy doing the devil sponsored work of pushing the Biafra agenda when you should be contributing to the established nation.of Nigeria.

God does not support rebellion because it is the very sin.of Lucifer that made him wage war in heaven.only to lose and be woefully defeated and be banished to earth as Satan.

When you contribute sincerely to the prosperity of Nigeria, then and.only then.can you get your desire which is a peaceful and prosperous nation both.in the East and.the rest of Nigeria.

You must see yourself as Nigerian before Igbo/Biafran.

[quote author=egobetter4me post=127695790)

I cry everyday.....both at home and while hustling. I never envisaged my life to be like this. I had hoped to meet a beautiful, clean and well mannered graduate from the city. Someone I would truly love and she would love me too. I'd hoped that I would meet her, approach her and we start as friends, then lovers, then I would propose and all. I never planned for it to be like this.

I am so sad with my life. Right now, I'm thinking of applying for masters abroad and probably use the means to Japa and never come back again.

My life is so miserable!

Learn from me. Don't ever let your parents blackmail you into marrying someone you don't love. Pls don't. Just run away for months or few years and they will leave you alone.[/quote]

ChiomaMee:
Yea, what exactly is the essence of marriage Is marriage a purpose we must fulfill Is it all about having kids??

If I don't get married, does it mean I've defiled God's law?? Does it mean I've not completely fulfilled purpose??

Marriage is one of God's blessings. It is a blessing to meet a partner that you grow together and fulfill purpose together.

However, it is not compulsory.

Jesus Christ our perfect role model did not get married.
Paul the apostle did not get married.
John the Baptist did not get married.
Elijah and Elisha did not get married.

Jesus said some will choose not to marry. Matt 19:12
Apostle Paul wished more people will not marry just like him but he advised that if you desire sex, please get married. Every one has different graces. 1 Cor 7:8-9

As a believer, we learn to submit to God's will and the leading of the Holy Spirit that way we walk in God's Will for our lives.

FanRong:
I'm sorry, this post is going to be a long one. But you're saving a soul if you read through and advice candidly.


My story
We've dated for 6months and we've lived together for the 6months.

On our 3rd month, I found her interesting and told her I'll like to marry her. She accepted but no engagement ring or anything to show. We just accepted by word of mouth.

Where to start from... you're living in sin.
Life has it's rules and principles and you've trespassed so many already.
This babe is an indication that God has left you to live your life as you please because your future with her doesn't look good at all and you don't need a prophet to tell you that.

My candid advice, repent from your sinful life. Stop being the boss/Lord of your life.
Invite Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior. Then you can start 2024 on a clean slate.

Find a peaceful way of breaking up with her.
You know the popular saying that there are relationships that should not cross over into the new year with you? She's definitely it.
You're both bad for each other.

God will be in charge if your new life and eventually as you build a relationship with God, you will know how he leads you through life and after transforming your life, you will eventually know when He leads you to your own wife.

God bless you.

FILEBE:
Wether both are true or untrue what did the authorities do about it? All these blame trading , you know the true vandals of lagos. If you live around Agege, it was the area boys that were vandalizing properties. They were the ones that burnt the police station. It wasn't any ipob or igbos . I haven't sited lots of examples where these guys perpetuated their acts on these days. Go there and ask for yourself.
That brought me to saying we will not say the truth to ourselves but use blames to hide the truth

Are you holding people accountable or witch hiunting ?

Since govt has failed to hold them accountable, God is more reliable and efficient.
Ruminate on that for the night. Ciao.

Kk4:
Xiaomi, the world's third-largest smartphone company, has launched its first vehicle, the SU7, a sleek electric sedan. In lab testing, the Xiaomi SU7 claimed up to 800km of driving range and a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 2.78 seconds, thanks to its electric motors named after petrol engines.

Prices have yet to be announced, but Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun advised visitors at the automobile's Chinese debut to "show some respect for the technology behind the car."

Will you be buying this when they start exporting from next year 2024?

Sleek.

yinkus6750:
Why build without proper documents and follow due process?
If you were on the right path, you could have sied the government.

In the voice of verydarkman, he had to learn the hard way. Not funny but can't blame government.

OndoEyes:
It was needed to rejoice and dance on the same day his boss just died? Aiyedatiwa was nothing before Aketi brought him to contest with him and this is how he repaid him. Nothing can justify this treacherous act

This statement alone shows why God vindicated Aiyedatiwa. How can you say he was nothing before Rotimi Akeredolu picked him as his running mate?

Some of you seem so disconnected from spiritual realities that one doesn't even know where to begin from.

God rejected Rotimi and honored Aiyedatiwa. Know this and know peace.
You should be more curious why God would reject Akeredolu.

Ememmmi:
I have an uncle that passed on early last year. My daddy told me he's my "uncle" but a distant relation because I don't know him in the village. We only met in lagos here so I think we are related but not close relation. Before he died, I use to send money to him especially during covid. At times he will ask and atimes I will send without him asking me. So when he passed on early last year, I was still sending the little amount I can afford to his wife. Its been 4 months I gave birth and she did not even come to see me. Her house to my house is about 500 transport fare to and fro. She knows there's no how she will come to my house and I won't give her cash even if at all she don't have transport fare.

She called me 2 days ago asking of Christmas money. I told her I will send it but inside me I am not happy honestly. People came from very far distance to visit me when I gave birth but this woman didn't even show concern. Anytime she call me will always be to ask of money. She said all her husband relative has abandoned her.
It is not like I don't have money to give her but her attitude is bad. She has only one daughter which she claimed she's in university. I don't know how true is that
Do you think I should overlook her character and give her the money

If her character is bad then she is reaping the fruits of her bad character that's why everyone seems to have abandoned her.

If you are a believer, please follow the leading of the Spirit.
Some times it's the little things that convert a soul to encounter God's love.
But I've also learnt to be sensitive when it comes to giving- some times it is God Himself that's dealing with some people so please be sensitive.

Mysteriousworld:
A younger brother of mine saw a message on his finances phone.
She sent a message to a guy on instagram, telling him she likes his lips, so tempting.
Now shes claiming its not a big deal, that she doesn't even know the guy, that hes just an instagram model...(its true she doesnt know him,and have never met him).
But my brother doesnt feel good about it, he asked for my advice, and i decided to put it here for him to see himself.

Pls is this a red flag... Or not much of a big deal. The wedding is in February.

It depends. If it's a DM, red flag. If open comment, no biggie.

But it all balls down to your brother's evaluation of her character since he knows her better. If he thinks she has hook-up vibes, then she most likely does.

Jogs1900:
These people always like to align with the government at the center.

True. Though if sincere, his reason is applaudable.

FeliciaOja:
I meet him July this year, everything about him is cool. My only worry is his fanatical support for arsenal which I consider the worst club on earth.

He keeps disturbing me of how his club will win the league, but whenever they lose he becomes super depressed and aggressive.

We have talked about this many times and he has sworn to change.
But this night he came back very late and was making so much noise, shouting and yelling
Then I googled scores and saw that his club lost today

I can't take it anymore
He is not the first guy I have dated that loved football. His own is that when his club loss it affects him very bad.

I have even suggested he should stop supporting arsenal but he won't listen.
After this night rubbish he just displayed I'm thinking of calling it quits.

Am I overreacting??

He needs deliverance.
Apparently football is his source of joy, not you and certainly not God.
His emotionally immature.
Is he as passionate and loyal to you as he is to Arsemal?

It balls down to his other attributes.
Do you share core values together?
Is he the type of father figure you want for your kids?

Yemike:
My life have been stagnant for like 4-5 years now. I work in a factory and I also sow clothes.
I've not been able to spend money on myself or to pursue my dream as a result of family responsibilities.
I'm a drop out of FUOYE and I'll so much love to go back to school but the plan has been failing for 2 years now.

I've obtained a part time form from Adekunle Ajasin University Ibadan campus last month hoping to start the new session next year but my problem now is that I have a brother that just finished HND 1, his rent has expired and he'll pay his school fees this January.
I paid his rent and school fees for HND 1 and he has notified me for HND 2.
My fear now is that time us running out for me (I'm 27yrs now) as I sincerely wanted to go back to school but I can't sponsor myself and two siblings.

Should I wait for another year or everybody should carry his cross?

Your brother has completed HND 1 and hasn't started earning money for himself? Even in this Social Media age?

What's the guarantee that he'll start making any money after his HND 2?

You have a large heart. But I fear you are loving others more than yourself.
The bible says love your neighbor as yourself not more than yourself.

I believe it comes down to one question really.
Ask yourself, who is more beneficial to go to school now between you and your brother?

God bless you.

FILEBE:
Leaked recording? There was also a leaked recording of boko haram infiltrating lagos. .

If blames would fix a country. Nigeria would be the best country in the world

What makes you think either was untrue?
At the end of the day, it's our prerogative to do with information whatever we please especially in a country where it isn't regulated.

Point is, some persons whether IPOB or others hijacked the protest and it exploded into a wild fire that cascaded burnt autopsy centre.

You have to agree by now that people should be blamed and held accountable when they err.

FILEBE:
You are right but i will disagree with the bolded statements.
Except we want to deceive ourselves. The vandalism was largely carried out by "yoruba" ask the people around oyingbo who burnt the brt busses . Same with Agege police station, same with the magistrate court, igbosere . Around my area I have seen these boys vandalise during the lockdown . During the time of the protest I had seen them hitting a streetlight at Ojuelegba while i drove by, they were yoruba.
Also the name calling is unnecessary, throwing shades at a particular tribe isn't okay . It has some tribalistic undertone .

@ the second bolded . We have burnt trading blames since independence.
Where has it gotten us? Of what use is the blame trading? If you have a lady that blames everyone for her misfortune, will you go ahead to marry her?

There was a leaked recording of incitement by POB to wreak havoc in Lagos and Rivers states. You didn't get that?

Trading blames is counter-productive when accountability is not in place. If that is your point, then you're right.
Accountability is the most important thing.

HenryTimes:
Na constabulary them wan bear the blame

Is it not a good idea?
Are they not part of the blame?
Should we not be able to distinguish between constabulary and the actual police officers?

Let's learn to appreciate good initiatives when proferred. This is an expert in the field that knows better than you and I do.

FILEBE:
We should know when to trade blames . By default, Nigerians will be quick to blame rather than find the root cause . Look around you, check all the mess we are in as a country and see how we always blame it on something or someone.

Present government blames Buhari.
Epileptic power supply throws blames
Military will throws blames
Rising cost of inflation throws blame
Health sector throws blame on japa doctors.
We are even throwing blames on tribes lately .
And so many more. It's always a blame game. We are so always quick to blame just to spite one another .

If the motive of the protest was to destroy properties, it would started immediately the protest began. It took days before it took that violent turn and it wasn't after the Lekki toll gate incident.

We should not be quick to trade blames. But it's important to know who is responsible for good or bad occurrences/happenings for accountability purpose especially.

As you've rightly said, ENDSARS protest started well and was an honorable protest that was a necessity. And it was peaceful for the first few days. It actually achieved it's purpose of calling out the government for bad governance and putting an end to the excesses of SARS. Buhari and his cabinet actually responded, addressed and met the demands of the protest.
SARS was decommissioned and they promised to meet the other demands which some were short term and others were long term.

But the youths did not disperse but continued in the protest until it was hijacked by the IPOB mercenaries who saw an opportunity to execute their own agenda of destroying Nigeria and especially Lagos state.

One of the consequences of which as Mynd44 rightly pointed out, was the burnt down Lagos State autopsy centre which has delayed Mohbad's investigation and apparently countless others.

Every action and inaction has consequences. And the heroes and villains must be Praised and blamed respectively.

For all the cases you highlighted, should the culprits not be blamed?
Should past government administratiins not be blamed for handing over a dilapidated country?
If Tinubu's administration performs well, should he not be Praised? And if he performs poorly after his tenure, should he not be blamed?

What we should demand is that beyond the blame and praises, is there accountability?
Are people being recognised and rewarded for good performance?
And are people being punished/sanctioned for bad/poor performance?
And is their reward or punishment commensurate with their performance?

EmperorTolson:
All Asake songs
All Fireboy songs
Few Rema Songs

That's all.

Seyi Vibez is a ❌❌❌
There's no message in his lyrics.
No correlation.
I hardly hear what he says most time.

Every song has a message and a spirit.
We simply choose the ones we resonate with.

For me, I choose gospel music because it resonates with who I want to become- Jesus Christ.

Secular music are for other creative inspirations and entertainment and I'm careful of which and how I listen to them. I had to cut it all off for a time though.

kingthreat:
The same Endsars riots supported by more than millions of Nigerians that burnt buses and infrastructure.

ENDSARS protest started well until it was hijacked by IPOB.
IPOB under the aeges of Nnamdi Kanu has one primqry intention/agenda/mission- to destroy Nigeria until Biafra is achieved.

The earlier our youths realise this, the better for them and the earlier the reasonable ones will dissociate from them. But dog wey go lost no dey hear the whistle of him hunter/owner.

Haydens:
2023 taught me never to trust the public.

Great lesson. Trust God only and honor men.

Cursed is the man who puts his trust in men.
Blessed is the man who puts his trust in man. Jeremuah 17

FILEBE:
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?

01Deji:
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.
