HenryDion:
So seeing you loved ones once in 365 days is too big for you? You may come from a dysfunctional family, hence your myopic view

I stay with my family in the same state. Dont have to travel.
You're the ones that abandoned your own retrogressive states for greener pastures in the progressive yoruba and northern states. Hence your sad and unfortunate predicament.

iwaeda:
My mind has been going riot; mind boggling events that has made Nigeria a once safe haven; to very unsafe and hostile to live or transverse.

Few years ago I can travel any time of the day, but now this has become a torturous adventures.

Now you don't only fear armed robbers; police has made travelling herculean with all manners of road blocks in order to extort, harass and even rob you of your belongings.
Now police will want to search your phones, see all your transactions, woe betide you if foreign transactions are found in your alerts.
I don't know why it is a crime to drive good car and owns good phones.

Not just that, Custom will lay Siege telling you the car that was cleared from Apapa or Tin can was underpayed for. Even though same custom officers release your Container to you. You will be lucky if your car is not impounded by service filled with corruption.

Since there is no transparency in the operation of customs, it is their words against yours.

Furthermore our roads are so unmotorable that you have to change lanes like snake to avoid bad portions.

These has led to accidents that has made many maimed and many families distraught due to loss of bread winners or loved ones.
What has made it worse are rampaging kidnappers in various shades and colours. It is no longer news that Nigeria is under Siege.

This is a personate plea to Federal, State, Local governments, security forces / services and various villages and clans to make this Christmas and New Year celebrations joyful and peaceful for all of us.

How did I know your Igbo?
Must you guys always travel for christmas/new year? Even with this level of insecurity, economic quagmire, cost of living etc?

Anyway I'm only saying this cos Nigeria is a failed state.
Festive seasons are usually a time to spend with family.
But make una try reduce am small. Cos Tinz too cost.

Brexxit:
I guess she's into minimum wage jobs $7.25 per hr over there in the USA.

Advise her to go for skilled or professional jobs,with this she can live comfortably there.If she doesn't have a degree let her go to university or get a skill.

She made the best decision of her life moving to the USA.

Honestly she made the best decision.
She just needs to get the right information and get herself a better paying job.

Skybridge33:
A friend of mine called me last week, she resigned from a high paying job working for a Telecom company in Nigeria to move to America with her two kids. Before she left she was doing okay, her salary was over a million, her kids went to the best schools in Lagos and she bought a plot of land in lekki. She sha want to leave Nigeria and japa even though she was in her mid forties and can't hustle like before. She got a tourist visa and left with her kids.
Now she's complaining even after advising her not to leave as she was average rich here before she left . Now she lives in a one bedroom apartment in a ghetto area of Houston. She works 20 hrs a day doing two jobs and she still doesn't make enough money to pay her rent, the landlord will chase her out anytime. Now she's complaining that things are hard and she wants to come back to Nigeria. What should I tell her, everybody wants to japa thinking life is better there. Eventually when they get there, instant regret it's cold, the people are unfriendly and even the blacks there are racist to Africans.

She worked in Telecomms so I'm guessing she has some IT background?
She needs to find a better job.
But her tourist Visa seems to be the issue. She should make enquiries with other immigrants to know the work-around to that.

Holla911:
Lol.. The grace seem greener on the other side until you get there to see for yourself.
Did she visit the states prior to relocation ? If she did, I bet she will be better prepaid.

How did I know you're from Anambra?

Is there any time God can be found?
Is there any time God cannot be found?

MaxInDHouse:
That's why Jesus said "by their fruits you will know them" {Matthew 7:16} before anyone can be truly converted he must be preached to by Jesus' disciples, that's why Jesus asked Paul to go and meet his disciples {Act 9:3-6} for them to teach Paul what Jesus commanded! Matthew 28:20

So nobody can truly be converted without first been preached to and taught what Christianity entails. But there are many false religionists in the world whose goal is worldly riches, such religionists can't teach what Jesus taught because their motive totally contradicts Jesus' motive {Matthew 6:24} by the end of the day the real motive behind such religion will become obvious when they begin gathering people. Of course there will be some of their followers who are sincere but the majority following their footsteps will reflect what is in the minds of those leading them! Matthew 7:17-18
That's why Jesus sent us out in search of the honest hearted and sincere individuals who are lost in such false religions to invite them to the truth! Matthew 10:6

May you have PEACE!

When I opened this thead I just intentionally didn't want to mention any church denomination. It's meant to be a personal journey.

I personally was not impressed by JW.
Cos I had read the bible personally before visiting your meetings and getting exposed to your doctrines.

Perhaps my major error when I was still fiery for Christ was mixing my church with bro Gbile's discipleship program and others.

I was hearing some thing different from one side- my church, Joshua Selman, Myles' Monroe, TD Jake's anx Steven Furtick while also hearing something entirely different from Bro Gbile, Deeper life and Foursquare. Even JW had an even more complicated doctrine.

To be honest, today I wish I had simply stuck with my church doctrines cos it is more in line with what the bible teaches.

silibaba:
is not true.

Only Catholics can make heaven.

Pls share your reason.

cigie:
Which church please

There are so many pentecostal churches around esp in Lagos that fall under this category cos I've visited many. Find the one you connect with the worship and sermon.

You should do your visit. But the church is not among the popular churches. That doesnt mean popular churches don't have parishes/branches/provinces where you can get the same.

Iyaebe:
The school is just after making money and not so concerned about the affairs of the students else it won't have gotten to this stage.

I don't know how old you are or which school you attended.
1 thing is that this is not the first time this is happening in secondary(high) schools in Nigeria or any where else in the world.
But thanks to social media, this is getting major attention and hopefully justice is served on the culprits even though they are minors.

The school really can't be blamed. They will only be liable if others have been reporting cases of bullying and they have turned a blind eye. Cos truly this happens in every school. Public schools and very expensive private schools are the worst.

My brother went to Greensprings (one of the most expensive schools in Nigeria back then and even now) and I know what butter kids are capable of.
Also some public schools are just a no-no if you can afford a reasonable private school.

Cos every occasion some butter children dont get any attention from their parents. Yet if their parents are careless they might actually get access to they dad's gun. Which once in a while they bring to school
First some public school, cultism is the bane they're dealing with cos you will find a school trying to prove they have the toughest guys in the neighbourhood. And really some of them are products of their parents or uncles.

Morale of the story, I think Dowen has to do a lot of damage control. I don't think they can be totally blamed for the death of Sylvester.

1.Some times these rich men were once cultists themselves and it's karma catching up on them.

2. Some times the parents give their children/wards good upbringing but when the kids get to school they want to be among the cool kids and end up doing things their parents are not even aware of.

3. Some times the school truly is negligent especially when the focus of the proprietor/proprietress is only about the money.

I believe with Lami Philip's really invested in her family's school number 3 is not an option in this case.

Cos they school has done well with damage contro whilel responding well to investigation, Lagos state govt, Ministry of Education, affected parents and their patrons and the parents of their students.

That said, let's cut Dowen a lil slack and hope the culprits or their parents don't go away Scot free.

DroppingLiquid:
You’re wasting your time. Even if you were real, nobody here give a fvck enough to even remember that this monicker was accused of thievery. Since it all gets deleted, what’s the point?

Both of them are the same person hiding under different moniker.
The extent some will go for attention.

I dont even mind having multiple accounts but pls be creative about it.

Tallino25:
Most people work with their spirit when choosing a church to belong

While some others join churches based on happenings within the church

While some are in a church due to their parents or family association with the church

And so many other reasons...

So given to this what particular attribute or aspect got your spirit to accept your current church...

What difference does this make?
More important is that you don't remain the way you came.

I was attracted by the music ministrations and packaging but ended up being captured by the sermons. The depth of the word and how the pastor broke down seemingly incomprehensible scriptures.

timstone:
Considering the continuos borrowing from other countries by this regime.

Who will pay for the debt should Nigeria Break up.

That is the least of our problems when (not if) Nigeria breaks up.
I believe an agreement/memorandum of understanding will be reached. It will either be equally split or the part that benefitted the most from the borrowed funds will be given the highest share.

Nigeria is a product of an unholy matrimony between the North and South by Lord Luggard.

The ways/ideals/beliefs/mindset of the North is at so much dissonance with the South that it was doomed from the very get-go.

Thanks to Social Media majority of Nigerians are now exposed to the various footages of interviews where the Northerners have continued to express their supremacy in Nigeria and how the rest of Nigeria are just tenants who should be forever ruled.

Whether and how Awo and Zik were not privy to this information remains a mystery.
But now that we are privy to the ominous mindset of the average Northerner especially the Fulanis, it's certain that this marriage has crashed.

Buhari has even unwittingly helped the South.discover the inevitability of our split from the North as he continues to expose his bigotry and tribalistic inclinations his appointments, body language, speeches and military oppressions.

I believe 2023 will see either the break up of Nigeria as an entity or create a ground-breaking earthquake that will produce the ripple effect that will ultimately lead to the eventual break-up.

Until then, we move.

Ihedinobi3:
I'm pretty sure the Bible disagrees with both of you.

14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. 16 For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. 17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. 18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
Hebrews 2:14-18 (NKJV)

He did take our form, but that means that He became human like us. As Philippians 2:5-7 teaches, He is both God and Man. No one can be saved without believing that this is Who Jesus is and that it is this Jesus Who died spiritually on the Cross for our sins.

How does the bible disagree with them?
Acknowledging Jesus is man is correct.
Like wise saying that Jesus is Spirit is also correct.

One does not deny the other.

Of course he lived and breathed as Man when he was born until he was crucified.
But after his crucifixion and ascension into heaven he returned to being Spirit which is why you see the Spirit of Christ mentioned in the bible.

Ammishaddai:
Maryam is not Mary oga ; they were two different people with two different histories. If you doubt this , check the Quran's narrative and compare it with the bible's . You'll see that they are two completely different narratives that speak about two completely different people

They're the same but like you right said, from two differing narratives from two different religious views and history.

The Torah, Bible and Koran share the same foundational stories but from different perspectives. Viz the story of creation are similar but differing details.
The story of Abraham/Ibrahim and the promised child who is Isaac/Issaka in the bible but Ismael in the Koran.
The story of Moses and Pharoah.
Even the story of Mary/Mariam and Jesus/Yisa.

All these stories share similarities but differing details when studied from both accounts of the Bible and the Koran.

Call me when you have a message from heaven.
Until then I leave your hellfire to you.

AlhajiNatty:
Now that you have killed the man, what now happens to those children inside the yam.
I dunno why I find this very hard to believe.
Somebody should cut a slice of the yam and let's see what happens

The irony is when you realise a man you claim has the power to turn children to tubers of yam is unable to disappear from the scene or turn any of his assailants into another tuber of yam.

For this course I appreciate civilisation. Imagine a Nigeria where we all still thought like this and believed so many foolish superstitions.

You're obviously a Messi fan cos obviously you chose the years that favoured Messi.

You can't make a good judge cos your sentiments will always cloud your judgment.

There are 4 ways I see the illuminati.

1. It's am organisation of the influential/wealthy people in the society coming together to increase their influence and wealth locally and globally.

2. It's a conspiracy theory concocted in the minds of the poor to defend their lack of wealth. Hence as a defense mechanism they attribute every success to belonging to illuminati.

3. It's as a result of formerly religious person(s) (the founder(s) realising that religion is a scam so they decided to also make their own money by establishing illuminati (a form of religion).

4. It's as a result of the devil actually attacking and possessing the founder who like you said is an ex-catholic. And as a result trying to draw more people/souls away from God and to himself.
This I actually dont really believe cos I only see it as a narrative Christians have developed due to excessive exposure religionism.

Cos Kanye West (Ye) was said to be Illuminati.
Guess what?
Now that he has converted to Christianity, he has never mentioned that he was part of Illuminati.
His reference to illuminati was that people say he is illuminati. And in his testimony he has never acknowledged the existence of Illuminati.

Foreverdope:
Grow up drama queen, there's no point in crying over yesterday's

The question is does she even know what love is?

For most Nigerian girls, love is when they allow you have sex with them.

But really love is seeing your complement in another and is accentuated by the actions of sacrifice you take for them.

Giving yourself and giving your finances, strengths, help is the core part of that.

Yes sex is a core part of a woman's essence and giving a guy access to her privacy and sex is also an act of sacrifice.

But true love is in the sacrifices youre willing to make for the the one you love that's beyond sex.

Bear in mind that love makes you vulnerable and when it isn't mutual it makes you look stupid and even foolish.

But when it's mutual it's heaven on earth.
Never stop loving but choose who you love carefully.

YeyeGbami:
This short boy too like woman.

Lol for him to try do that on stage, they've def been running things behind the scene.

Wizpapa.

MrMacinterchi1:
This your question is not logical at all. It's like shooting yourself in the leg while making an argument.

You're such a misogynist that's why you do not see my point.

Anyways read the OP again then read my post slowly this time.

drizslim:
I juss hope my Doppler is a rich prince somewhere on this Earth

Doppelganger you mean.

Authoreety:
Even when he's not strong enough?

Lol. All of Una dey madt?

They probably had an agreement.
But obviously in his present health condition, he can't possibly rule this country.

Awkabigboy:
How do spouses whose partners live abroad cope sexually?

I have a neighbour, her spouse is in Europe and came back after 5 straight years to see the wife and the kids this year.

How do they do this? Are they really faithful to themselves?

Why do you think we have sugar mummies everywhere?

JohnFGbegile:
Osibanjo the common criminal bribe easting scumbag fake pasta

It's posts like this that give credence to govt reason to regulate Social media.

You have simply slandered Osinbajo without any evidence or witness. Yet you have called him a "condemned criminal."

If you're looking for a perfect politician certainly you womt find any.

I'm sure you know how corrupt you yourself are.

But when we have a few who still have conscience and have the vision to rule this country then we should not condemn them completely.

Ammishaddai:
Una just dey look for excuse to do lockdown each day . Useless people

That and to make vaccination compulsory.
All this just to cash out.

ValCon888:
I don't think the same applies to women in Western countries. A typical Nigerian girl knows what is right and what is wrong, but she will still do that wrong thing for money.

Exactly.
The rush is cos she doesn't want to be identified and tagged an hoeloshow even though she enjoys the hoeloshow way.

Wawelexy:
....

Lol..... The low self esteem crew..... Full.

Guess you're a better boxer then Mohammed Ali and better singer than Michael Jackson.
And better scientist than Albert Einsten. Even a better leader writer than Chinua Achebe.

If not, you're no doubt a self-conceited sociopath suffering from extreme case of delusions of grandeur.
You should atleast achieve some thing first before exhibiting pride.

Acknowledging people who are better than you in your present state is not low self esteem it's called inspiration.
Concluding that you can never be better than them even in the future is what makes it low self esteem.

Be Humble.

Wawelexy:
Mumu..... Inferiority complex...

Spoken as a true hater and sad soul.

It's not inferiority complex when you celebrate people greater than you. Eediot
