Jerry was the good one to me o

This only expounds the importance of writers.

Naturally ad human beings, Tom should be our favorite. Why?

Tom is the cat that is meant to help you deal with your rat menace.

Imagine you are in a rat infested house, and all you have is the cat to help you over come your situation?

But some how the writers were able to convince us that the rat/mouse was the good guy anf the cat was the bad guy.

We go sha dey try deconstruct ourselves from this our manipulations.

jesusjnr2020:
Hmm...

One major reason is because God cannot commit to the church more than the church commits to Him.

It's the measure one uses that would be used to measure back to him.

Those in Bible committed everything, more or less, to God, hence God reciprocate the gesture and committed much to them.

But today it's very different as people in the churches, including the leaders, don't commit as much to God as they did in those days, hence God measures back sparingly to them.

God bless.

In the Bible God never needed everyone to commit to him before he performed miracles.
He only needed one person.

In the time of Moses, in fact Moses never committed to God, he even ran far away from Him but Gof had selected him by predestination to deliver Israel from Egypt. And through him the Bible mentions some of the greats miracles God performed.

During the time of Jesus, in fact they was more corruption in the church leadership in Israel than what we experience today, but that didn't stop Jesus from performing miracles.

Let's stop assuming God does not break his rules. In fact a miracle simply means God broke his own rules.
So he doesn't need commitment of everyone. He just needs a committed person/vessel some times, just a vessel (not even committed) at all, to petform miracles.

I don't even understand myself again o, all my life I have never fallen under anointing. Is it that I'm very stubborn? If you belong to this table please gather here let's know ourselves

If you've ever fallen under anointing,how does it happen?

I didn't use to.
Cos I expected to feel some thing spiritual and powerful.

But I noticed at some point I was always falling cos I wanted to feel anything at all.
And I realised I couldn't easily get myself back up once I fell. It felt like Sleep paralysis.

But I stopped falling when I didn't know what the significance was and no one could tell me cos I didn't feel any different after.

My wife and I welcomed our second child this morning, a baby boy. We thank God for safe delivery.

Oshey bornerboy. Owo meiji loke. Tuale!

donpapa:
Happy birthday Mr. Wellington. God bless your new year. Thank you for giving Wizkid a platform; dude remains a blessing to the world. We’re proud of y’all! Naija to the world

Well said.
I'm even happier for him that he met the wife that complements him.
Though I think his new found faith in Christ should not stop him from running his EME empire.
Cos Tunde Demuren and Toolz need him to get the business back in full gear.

There's a way you can find find salvation and they try to convince you not to have anything to do with the world/secularism.

But truth is, as long as you're alive in this world, you will deal with secularism. So it's in your best interest to know that salvation doesnt make you automatically an angel. Don't stop doing what God has blessed and gifted you to do. You can only augment it.

Even Kanye West and Justin Bieber are so blessed and prosperous after they found Christ cos they realised either by divine guidance or pastoral guidance that salvation isn't always meant to take away what you're blessed to do.
You simply need to fine-tune yourself.

Anyway, after my long epistle, I truly wish him a very jolly happy birthday.
Banky is one of my role models. He is truly blessed.

illicit:
U no get paid pass Wizkid sha

Maybe Davido because na him papa money him dey blow anyhow

Highest paid is different from Highest earning.
You can be highest paid and get only 5 gigs in a month say you charge 10m
That's 50m in a month.

While another artist charges 1m and gets 100 gigs in a month.
That's 100m in a month.

So you can do the math.

LeoDeKing:
I know it can only be Toyin Tofade.

We all know where these kind of names will appear on the international scene.

But when you talk about crime...

Table shaking is a hobby.lol

Nigerians especially Igbo and Yoruba are the ones painting the country good in the diaspora especially education, tech, entertainment and politics.

But unfortunately same yoruba and igbo are also painting the country in negative light for commiting various crimes in the diaspora.

But we all know this is because the hausas/fulanis who form the Cabal and rulers of Nigeria are the problem.

If the rulers can provide an enabling environment. Most Yotubas and Igbos won't have any reason to even travel out of Nigeria talk less of committing crimes.

Hausas/Fulani are the problem of Nigeria.

They know they have little to offer in terms of IGR and true leadership. But unfortunately the Westerns empowered them to rule Nigeria.

The very day power shifts from Hausa/Fulani to Yoruba or Igbo, Nigeria will experience the true meaning of Giant of Africa.

Pls this is not about who wins presidency but taking power from the Cabal.

In every organisation there are people called Stakeholders
In Nigeria as an entity, that position is mostly occupied by Hausa/Fulani because the Westerners played it so. They know the Northerners are the least threatening to them. Yorubas and Igbos are educated and progressive. But the northerners are the most uneducated and easy to manipulate.

What we have today is a system of British/US delegates manipulating Northerners.
And Nothtetners manipulating the rest of the country.

Ad long ad the Northerners are making money off it, they cannot see anything wrong.
The problem is in the long run.

While the Northerners are myopically seeing short tern effects. The westerners are seeing decades or century wide effects.

kponkedenge:
Scientific officers basically do research work. And it's weird you applied for a post and you don't even have an idea about the job itself.

How did you come to the conclusion that he has no idea about the job just cos he asked for likely interview questions and pointers?

You need Puma endorsement with the way you jump into conclusions.

mrphysics:
I like that H.E Soludo has a plan of how to get to the people. From ensuring touts do not harass people while government levies or taxes are collected to removing wastes from the street to visiting the correctional facilities. I am confident he will do something real during his first term.

He has 8 years to deliver.
Usually the first 4 years is for working. The next 4 years is for embezzling.

Let's hope his first 4 years prosper the hope people of Anambra.

The Tower of Babel

Most of us grew up with the story of how men decided to be a tower as high as the heavens.
And because man had one language then, they were about to achieve it.

elated177:
Not in all cases. However, in this case, it is.

Im sure you never knew it was referring to Peter dying by crucifixion.
If only you could learn to listen before jumping to conclusion, theres so much you just could learn.

elated177:
You should simply have accepted the simple and direct meaning of the statement, as stated in that portion of the Scripture.

Is the scripture always direct?

1. Have you ever been misquoted, misinterpreted?
2. Have you ever minsterpreted what some one told you or what you read?
3. Have you ever meant one thing but your expression was open to many other things?
4. Do you understand the basics of communication?

With the aforelisted questions, I believe we have all fallen into one or more or even all of these categories.

My intention for this post is simple, we all Have to build your comminication quotience.
We are presently in the Information age. For those who understand the various ages of man.

If you don't yet understand that there are various ages, then you have a lot of research to do.

There has been the stone age, iron age, bronze age, silver age, golden age, (platinum age) , jet age and presently information age.
This thread is essentially about the present information age.

Information is a factor of commutation.
Communication for those who understand is a 5 phase process;

Sender- encryptiing- interpreter- de-encrypting- receiver.

This forms the basis of all the issues, divorces, wars, ploutical and religiosity in the world.

I believe every one at this age should study and become an expert in communication simply because;

1. If not, you will fall for every miscommunication.
2. You will confuse fake news with reality.
3. You will continue to repost BCs without any reliable source.
4. You will believe no else is right except you. Not knowing that you're the victim of miscommunication.

PS: We have all been victims of miscommunication or been the one that miscommunicated to others.
Likewise we have been the ones who corrected others and salvaged other from being victims of miscommunication.
Do share your experiences for the benefit of us all.

Hismasterpiece:
Jesus was giving Peter a prophecy about the way he would die.

Exactly... being girded by another and taken where he wouldn't want to was referring to Peter's death by crucifixion.

elated177:
You should have just stuck with what is written in the Scriptures.

You should have passed basic English and understood the difference between reading and explanation.

elated177:
The answer to your question is already in the Scripture.

You could have simply shared the answer.

Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”

John 21:18-19

LordReed:
No.

You don't believe in dark powers- native doctors, ritualists, witchcraft?

I need you to think about it before replying. Discussions should not be just to defend your position but I ask to know if you've ever experienced something beyond the ordinary, either good or bad.

LordReed:
I would like to cut to the chase, please no rigmarole, just present your BEST evidence for the god you believe in.

Do you believe there's a devil?

Ujahson85:
Before going to the East for my marriage introduction, I was skeptic because of what people do say about marriage in the East(Igbo land). But to my surprise the list giving to me was far from what people do say. Their marriage also wasn't as expensive as some part of Benue state where I came from. I was giving 3 list to choose from one or the one that is best for me.

For Anambrans, don't worry their marriage isnt expensive, wait till it's time for burial ceremony. Pray make you no get high BP.

Ademola47:
Some animal (chicken precisely) rights activists are now in Ibadan.

See the billboard spotted at the front of State Veterinary Hospital, Mokola, Ibadan this afternoon...it clearly reads "STOP CHICKEN CRUELTY NOW"

What do you think?

All na format.
Him wan use this billboard collect better contract.

Even him dey chop chicken after posting the billboard.

obonujoker:
No child of God will engage in such...

Are Christian husbands and wives children of God?
And are husbands and wives not expected to engage in sex/love-making?

Then there are chances in this social media age they can video themselves in the act. Some times to spice up their marriage. Read Songs of Solomon for more details.

So this message is for everybody.
And I truly support this.
Cos you never can tell where what you recorded privately can end up publicly. Either by loss of the phone or by plane blackmail.

Righteousness2:
GOD'S Standard from the beginning remains One man one wife.
GOD'S Standard is HE hates Divorce.

Jacob, Solomon , Religion, Society or whoever are not the standard. The Word of GOD is the Standard .

Read Matthew 19: 4-9 to know GOD'S Standard!

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them Male and Female .
(Not Male and Females or Vice versa)

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his Wife(Not Wives): and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Anything apart from GOD'S Standard is SIN. It is Fornication, Adultery and Man/ woman Decieving themselves!

When David murdered Uriah just for his wife Bathsheba, this is what Prophet Nathan said God told him;

2 Samuel 12: 7-8
Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ‘I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you from the hand of Saul.
I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your keeping, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you much more!

First this tells us God is not against polygamy.
Second David is not perfect just like we aren't.
God is not looking for perfect people but people who love and worship him.

Also considering almost all the Fathers of Faith including Jacob were polygamous. In fact the 12 tribes of Israel were products of 4 different women from Jacob.

True, Gods original plan is for 1 man to marry 1 wife.
But God does not consider polygamy a sin.
Provided you're not a Bishop and you can manage your household. 1 Tim 3:2

UselessBuharist:
What the prison authorities did was a mockery on the family of Mr. Ataga… What a way not to die.

So they pronounced her the winner of the beauty pageant so that she can live comfortably in prison or was that to further justify why she is looking fresher whenever she is taken to court?

This is pure wickedness, the forces behind this girl is so powerful but their end hmmm

I understand your shock to the news.
But if you've ever visited the prison, you'll realise that the prison is a correctional/rehabilitation centre of sort.
The implication of which is that there are various programs and activities including education, church/mosque services, sports, entertainment eg Pagentry, etc designed to help those that can be reformed among the prisoners to be reformed.

This really has nothing to do with Chidinma and her Cabal.

Duke007:
I am not a yahoo guy and did not intent not to repay, it's life drama, don't judge a story you haven't experienced.

I have worked with an MFI and we know these signs.
When a client is collecting loans from multiple sources, it's a major red flag.
Cos you're simply collecting from Peter to pay Paul and eventually it usually explodes cos you get choked with the repayment overlapping.

Anyway, my advice is try to pay up and stick to one MFI.
Usually they have various loan products to suit your needs and are designed not to choke you if you stick to one MFI.

All the best.

Hi every one, l have been a nairalander for over 10 years and have seen people get advised here, thats why l am putting this up with my account.
I am not blaming anybody for my predicament, neither do l blame the loan app company for their shark like business sytle, l take responsibility for my actions. I am one of those people who criticized people for Falling into the trap of online loan company. It's basically a rat race syndrome and tends to take you deeper and deeper from the seemingly innocuous first attempt.

It all started when my side hussle of buying and selling food stuff suffered a decreased in cost of replacement due to inflation and my sales boy stealing my money. I took my first loan to boost my business and realized that the cost of the loan is high. Since then, it's been a malicious cycle of robbing Peter to pay Paul. I realized that l was lossing money in each transcation and in order to meet up with my payment to avoid defaulting, l resorted to other loan company. Now, l don't even no what to do, all cash injection coming to me is spent on servicing the loan. I can't even feed my family and pay my children school fees. I am tire of this scenario and want to break free. It has taken a toil on me physically, mentally and spiritually.

I seek advice from people who have gone thru this ugly experience on how to break free before it is too late. Below is the list of my indebtness:

Ucredit #22,976. 15.03.22(due date)
Oxloan #26,250. 17.03.22
Lcredit #60,000. 17.03.22
Eazycredit #58,904. 21.03.22
imoney. #20,242 24.3.22
Okash #42,416. 31.3.22

I welcome any useful suggestion on how to break free. Thanks

No lie, you be Yahoo guy. You never had any intention of paying back.

Munikbabe:
Please, is it advisable for someone living on the mainland to take a hotel receptionist job of 40k on the Island??
They have staff quarters too.
Please, help a sister out with your thoughts on this biko

They have staff quarters meaning no transport expenses.
Though 40k is still small as take-home but as long as it puts food on your table and meets your other needs it's a good start.

But for an experienced staff, it's not.

Ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo has denied backing an igbo presidency in 2023, POLITICS NIGERIA has learned.

Obasanjo on Saturday refuted reports that he supported the clamour for Igbo presidency.

It can be recalled that the former leader while receiving a 2023 presidential aspirant, Mao Ohuabunwa, last week, reportedly stated that he would like to see a South-Easterner become President as they have a lot to contribute to the country.

However, in a swift response through his Media Aide, Kehinde Akinyemi, OBJ denied ever making such a comment.

He criticised Ohuabunwa and accused him of being behind the report. "If that was the way the presidential aspirant wanted to approach his ambition; such was a wrong way."

"He came here and the former President received him as a gentleman and in the spirit of his 85th birthday celebrations only for him to go and put words into his mouth. Baba is not that sort of man and if that is the way he wants to fulfil his ambition that is a wrong way."

Barely 11 months to the 2023 general elections, there is a central thread of discourse in the nation on the possibility of a president of Igbo extraction. Proponents of the quest for a Nigerian leader from the Igbo dominated South east axis premise it on six standpoints: Tripod nature of the nation, equity, justice, unity, peace and fair play.

Some of the contenders for the presidency from the South-East are Anyim Pius Anyim and Dave Umahi (Ebonyi State), Kingsley Moghalu (Anambra State), Orji Uzor Kalu and Sam Ohuabunwa (Abia State), Rochas Okorocha (Imo State), Chris Baywood of Baywood Foundation (Enugu) and others expected to make their intention known in the coming days.

While Kalu, Umahi and Okorocha are members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), the likes of Anyim and Ohuabunwa are in the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

https://politicsnigeria.com/breaking-i-did-not-endorse-igbo-presidency-in-2023-obasanjo-fires-ohuabunwa/

Too many hearts broken in just one sentence. Lol
As long as IPOB remains an issue and Igbos don'teven agree among themselves, Igbo presidency will likewise remain a distant dream.

yongLord:
Don't know if this is the right thread but I hope it gets to the right audience. Pardon my English. I'll try to make it brief

A very close friend just got an apartment and moved in late December, the house was gotten through the sister (to the owner) who monitored the construction of the house. The house hasn't been registered with the electricity company and water isn't running as at the time he paid (190k + 40k (commission &agreement)) the water.

On Saturday, he said the owner came and the wife attended to them outside as they were discussing some other things about the house while he was praying inside. Before she left she even played with his children and gave them #200 also took their picture.

Fast forward to Monday, he got a call from the husband to the sister saying all sought of abusive words to him claiming the owner of the house wasn't attended to properly, they were supposed to let her in even without the consent of the husband since she's the owner of the house, therefore they should move out at month end. The wife called the owner of the house and she said the same thing then the another of their brother called again saying the same thing. They claimed that their remaining change will be refunded.

The question now is, should he stand on collecting all of the money or the balance as they said?

This story no just jell.

Either it's a cooked up story from a lazy OP.
Or details have been concealed cos the OP's "friend" knows he was at fault. Thats if truly Op is not the friend.lol

Cos I was assuming they had made progress with the house condition and wanted to increase the rent.
But as this case is theres no progress.

Animegirl:
I'm really scared of this country. . What is happening in this country can make one depress.

I pray her killers never know peace till they die. Even after death, may their souls never find peace.

What makes it even more jitters-worthy that what comes to mind is knowing how many such operations this syndicate has been operating.

We only got to know about this cos she was lucky to make a video out of her suspicion.

God protect us all cos the govt is as useless as the letters UEUE in Queue.
