Romance / Re: My Lack Of Commitment To Women Is Killing Me Slowly by Myer(m): 2:14pm On Dec 06, 2023
MikeofKd:
Good day Nlanders, pls I need the wisest counsels of wise Nlanders. I have a problem which is lack of commitment to women, ive been this way since I left uni, and pls know that this isnt due to masturbation or any sorts, cause I havent done that thing since my teenage years.

I meet a woman today , we vibe, connect and all but i'm just damn too scared to commit any woman no matter how good she is. I'm scared that if I continue this way I may likely find it really difficult to get married.

Seeing and experiencing different complains of men in real life and on the forum as made my commitment issues with women only worse. I'm currently working, fair pay, got my own place, I'm doing quite well for myself. Ive met different women this year that were good women, but I fear if I give my heart to them they may switch up, women are too complicated naturally to cope with.

This fear of commitment is seriously holding me back from getting a serious relationship. My only fear is if I continue this way I may not get married. I need the counsels of wise nairalanders to advice me on what to do concerning this commitment issues cause it quite depressing no lies.

I form hard guy, but deep down I really be craving for a romantic relationship, I'm just too scared to give any woman my heart cause ive been hurt in past relationships . So hurt that even when I had a good woman I couldnt see it and I lost her.

Your Wise advice and counsels would be deeply appreciated thanks.
Fear of commitment is on the high side in this generation among both genders.
Past relationship experiences and observing what others are battling with in their marriages is enough to make marriage a dreaded thing.

It's important to ask yourself the right salient questions;
-Why do you want to marry?
-What are you looking for in a marriage?
-What's your idea of an ideal marriage?
-Are you being pressured into marriage, have you set a deadline for yourself?
-Are you ready for marriage- spiritually, emotionally, financially, etc
-Are you teachable and are you learning, unlearning and relearning about marriage?
-Have you healed from your hurt? You know you've healed when you can share your experience without regret but lesson learnt.

Fear is an emotion that is both productive and destructive depending on ow you react/respond to fear.
You certainly have to overcome your fear of commitment.
Start by praying about it. Then start exposing yourself to good marriages online and offline,
This will help change your narrative about marriage. You will like wise start to attract the right type of people into you life.

In our part of the world, relaxation means sitting in bars drinking or watching sports. What can an adult do which won’t involve the activity?

There’s swimming. There’s hiking (many don’t consider it relaxing nor an activity to indulge in for obvious reason). There’s playing soccer, I’m not a fan of this. What else?
Have you considered working for God?
There's activities to do individually and corporately.

Indian managers don't know exact meaning of being manager. In their heads, they literally own you; they don't say no to clients and then literally overload the workers. They need soft skills training and if this does not work, they should get kick on their ass.
They don't trust Nigerians.
But they value honest and hardworking Nigerians.
They overwork staff if the job permits it.

MadamVanessa:

No man born of a woman can cross Vanessa using false marriage promises as bait grin.

If you need sex, Open up and be genuine with your intentions. when once you starts with marriage, I know immediately that you're a clown and still a baby in the game and I will play you the game till you become so useless.

I have done that to couples of men, sadly , today they're so useless . They foolishly sold every of their properties just to see Vanessa's pant. Men men men chai grin and today I am the Jezebel cheesy and I agreed totally.
As seemingly defensive as this is, it is quite demonic. You may need to go for deliverance or simply rededicate your life to Christ.
They may not possess you sexually, but for collecting their gifts with ulterior motives, you're indebted to them.

Jezebel spirit is real. I don't know if that's the actually spirit behind what you described, but take it serious.
Try to stop and live a clean life for some months. If you can't then there's a spirit in control that needs to be cast out of you.
I hope this doesn't scare you but brings you to repentance.

I believe you're going to be useful in God's kingdom, winning souls of men and women by God's Grace and some of your experience.

That was how one lied that lovemaking is different from fornication when we're not even married.

Lemme have money first, I will show men shege especially those Christian brothers bloody hypocrite.
Technically.,that's actually true.
Sex can be with anyone. but it's different with someone you actually have feelings for.
Sex is physical, love-making is soulish/emotional/mental. And usually leads to soul-ties.

But whether sex or love-making, all should be done within the confines of marriage.
The easiest way to ruin a godly relationship is to get sexually involved before marriage.
Religion / Re: What Does It Mean To Know God? John 17.3 by Myer(m): 9:53pm On Dec 03, 2023
tctrills:
In the book of John 17.3, we learn, And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

If eternal life is the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ, then what does it mean to know God.

Do you know God from reading your Bible?
Do you know God by being a Christian?
How does one get to know God?
These are very Profound questions.
God is set to reveal Himself to you.

1. You know God by seeking Him in sincerity and humility.
By asking the right questions like you're doing now and being open-hearted. He reveals himself in various ways, the Bible is a documented book inspired by His Spirit.
So clearly it helps a lot. Studying the bible without the Spirit of God teaching you makes it head-knowledge which is not productive but destructive.

2. What does it mean to be a Christian?
A Christian is not a title but a nature. One who has known Christ and now talks, walks and works like Him. One who bears the gifts and fruit of the Spirit.

3. By studying the Word of God to Know and Do His Will. Not for ulterior motives or arguments.
Romance / Re: The Type Of Men I Don't Want (personal Opinion) by Myer(m): 11:54pm On Dec 02, 2023
SweetBuns:
They say that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", but honestly speaking there are certain calibres of men I will never go near no matter how hard they try.

To get straight to the point,

1. Short men
Oh my God.... I don't just know what to say about these sort of men. If I'm taller than you as a girl, then sorry but I can never see you as my second piece. You'll always be like a younger brother to me. No hard feelings.
Short men also have this irritating attitude whenever they see girls around, as if they're trying to compensate for their low height. And some even go to the gym and gets muscles.... But it just makes them look shorter like a 5 litre jerry can and irritating
Also, why in the world would I pick a short guy over a tall guy? I literally feel so protected and safe when I'm with a guy that is wayyyy taller than me (I'm 5'2 so my height is kinda average)... So ofc I'd want a tall man and not a mini man.
Imagine hugging a man and he's hugging your waist cause he's short ugh.
I wanna stand on my toes whenever I kiss him and strain my neck just to look at his face. No more no less.
Tall men also stand out more, they're far more attractive and I also want taller sons and daughters.
Who should the short guys date then? I dunno... But not me.
The bar starts at 6'0, but If you're like 6'2 or 6'3... I want your babiesss

2. Bald men
The only age where I think baldness is acceptable as a man for me is if he's like in his 50s or 60s. But if you're in your 20s-30s and you're already going bald.... It just irritates me low-key in a inexplicable way... Like why will a young guy have a hairline that receeds all the way to the middle or back of your head? Where did all your hair go? Gross
I also read somewhere that early balding is genetically inherited so that means my children too will suffer the same fate? God forbid.
My man ought to have a head full of hair well into his 60s, then we start talking about hair loss.

3. "Oju yo Bo" people
I didn't know the English term for this so I had to Google it. It's a Yoruba term for people whose eyes pop out of their sockets like that of a wall gecko. This is also something I don't like in my man.... I want his eyes to be like that of Henry Cahill... Neatly tucked inside and having small slit like opening.

Addition: so I just googled it and it's called prey eyes. I prefer the hunter one since it gives my man a piercing gaze and I just wanna hug him immediately.

4. Eyebrows
A man MUST have thick eyebrows. If you don't, I can't take you seriously

5. Men with bad posture

6. Men who supports man U grin

That last one was a joke but I'm dead serious about the rest. And I'm sure other girls will agree to some up there too.
Say no more... I'm your soec. cool
Surprised you didn't add broke men. Typo/Oversight? Lol
Health / Re: Nigerian Nurse Sacked & Deported From The UK For Praying For Patient by Myer(m): 2:01pm On Dec 01, 2023
Antoeni:
As Christian, We Should knows Our Limits ,There are DO's & DON'Ts In Every Organization, Abide or Quit.
It Serves Her Right
As right as you are that Christians ought to know their boundaries, especially when it comes to profession, you have to also understand the place of compassion. A believer is meant to be compassionate.
So she might have been in a situation where she was torn between her spiritual obligation and professional obligation.

There are grey areas to this story hence why it may be a bit too early to judge her until we hear her side of the story.

Her deportation should however not be seen as the end of the world. God does not waste his ministers where they are not valued, I believe this will end in praise and God's name will be glorified.

Good day house, has any experienced job loss unexpectedly as a graduate and how did you cope during that period expecially when you have a family (labourer jobs are not even easy to come by), how did you cope with rejection, the emotional effect
First realize that most disappointments are but blessings in disguise.
Many people are stuck in jobs they do not like but pays their bills. You've been forced out of that pool.

What will you have launched into if you had not lost your job but you decided to resign?
Do not limit yourself.

Is your wife supportive? Is she working?
If no, you may need to be under-employed to foot your bills.
If yes, take your time to pray for direction. Some times you need some time to decide what you will do.

Most importantly, every thing starts with getting God right.

You must be willing to choose between them.
If she is indeed as you perceive, God's plan for you, then that friendship is worth sacrificing.
A good friend if indeed he knows the ex is a good person should not deprive both of you of happiness, if he has moved on.

So I would like to know if there’s anyone who has gotten married to a divorced man before.. I would also like to know the pros and cons…

This said man has been truthful so far though…

Waiting for comments! Thank you…
Every thing has it's Pros and Cons.

They're both single/divorced for a reason.
They both have to allow themselves to heal first other wise.. fry pan to fire.

But if they've learnt the necessary lessons from previous relationship and healed, they're going to be able to understand and support each other better.
Most importantly, they should please put God first.

Age is such a great snare to so many especially Nigerians. We practically idolize age.
Age is not the determinant for seniority or honor.
Seniority is determined by a whole lot of factors, age is simply one of them.

Glory is the determining factor.
Who has achieved what you desire?
In honesty and humility, who is more successful than you?
What do you glory in?

Is it Age?
Is it Money
Is it Education?
Is it Spirituality?
is it Connection?
is it Beauty?
Is it Marriage?
Is it Children?
Is it Talent/Skill?
is it Certificates?
Is it Followers on Social Media?

All these are the factors that can determine who is a senior to you. And to each their own.
But in Nigeria our culture happens to glory in Age and Money and Spirituality the most.
Hence why we are so reactive against her calling Davido who is clearly her Elder in the music industry, in money, in pedigree, in so many things she just like most people desire.

Most importantly, scripturally, if we must glory in any thing, we should glory in our knowledge of God, our faithfulness to Him and that our names are written in heaven.

Akeredolu was not totally in support of Tinubu, and I suspect he must have been working on an agenda against him.
I don't even think Tinubu did any thing to attack him. He is being judged for what he knows he did.

I suspect it has a lot to do with the Yoruba Nation Agenda. Tinubu was not in support of the agenda.
Religion / Preparing For Your Eternal Rest by Myer(m): 7:42pm On Nov 26, 2023
FOURSQUARE GOSPEL CHURCH
TODAY'S MESSAGE (26TH NOVEMBER 2023).
THEME: Rest on Every Side (I Kgs.5:4; Matt.11:28)
TOPIC: Preparing for Your Eternal Rest (Heb.4:9,11; Rev.21:1-7)
MESSAGE BY: REVEREND TOPE ONI

Definition of Rest – Rest is defined as: peace, quietness, cessation of painful and stressful labour, safety and security, and freedom from oppression. It involves two broad dimensions. The first dimension of all-round rest is: victory in our various needs, challenges and battles in life (I Kgs.5:4; II Chron.20:29-30). The second dimension is: spiritual rest, joy in the Lord, calmness and peace in our hearts, regardless of what we are going through, and irrespective of whatever is happening in our environment (Matt.11:28-30; Phil.4:4-7).

CONDITIONS FOR ENJOYING GOD'S ALL-ROUND REST

Joshua Selman emphasized that though the God of grace has made rest available to all human beings that will come to Him, it is not a free gift that all will enjoy. Not all human beings, and even not all church-goers will enjoy all-round rest in this life. This is because there are things to know and to do, for us to constantly enjoy all-round rest in this life (Heb.3:7-11).

Quoting Ps.34:19 & Jn.16:33, Joshua Selman emphasized that all people that came to this life have faced and will face problems, challenges and adversities such as financial hardship, sickness, conflicts in the home, delayed marriage or fruit of the womb, physical attacks, depression and emotional illness and various forms of demonic attacks. He however emphasized that Christians increase the adversities, challenges and problems in their lives through: disobeying the principles and commandments of God; not having a right understanding and discernment of the way, will and mind of God; ignorance and not walking in wisdom; dishonouring people we should honour (pastors, parents, elders, and leaders) and demonic attacks. Almost all the ministers in the Convention emphasized that challenges will be highly reduced and we will overcome almost all life challenges through: foundational encounter with God at the new birth; continuous life-long encounter with God and being spiritually deep in the knowledge of the word of God; praying without ceasing; regular fasting; intimacy with God and with the Holy Spirit; and hearing clearly from God and following His leading and His voice, and walking in divine wisdom. Joshua Selman emphasized that not all church-goers know God and are spiritually minded, even though they sing, dance, and speak in tongues (Rom.8:1-cool. He also emphasized passionate worship with knowledge, understanding, depth and passion, as an instrument for receiving God’s blessings and all-round rest (Ps.47:7). If we follow all the above principles, adversities and unrest will be avoided, highly reduced and will be overcome 90 to 95% of the time, sooner or later. In the few cases of unmet needs, we will still have rest, with faith, patience, and longsuffering, in our relationship with God, particularly as we constantly remind ourselves that we are strangers in this world and that we will soon enter our perfect eternal rest.

PREPARING YOURSELF TO ENTER GOD'S PERFECT REST IN HEAVEN

Our perfect rest is not in this world, but in heaven. Even when our personal problems are solved in this world – some level of anxiety is still inevitable on various issues that may not directly have to do with you: issues with spouses, children and family members; wickedness of neighbours, human beings and political leaders; sin, ignorance, hypocrisies and contradictions in the Church, minor accidents; forgetting some things etc; all of which will still cause us some pain, sorrows, groanings and displeasure.

Rest on every side does not also stop people from persecuting us for belonging to Christ, and for preaching holiness and righteousness. It is only heaven that we will eternally enjoy God’s Perfect Rest, without any pain or displeasure at all. In heaven, there is no sorrow, no sin, no wickedness, no unmet needs. The joy and pleasure of heaven is beyond description. We will have a new body. Heavenly Kindgom is completely different from the Kingdom of this world; it is a Kingdom of perfection in all realms (Rom.2:9-10; Is.65:17-19; Rev.21:1-5).

If what Joshua Selman said is true, that though God’s all-round rest is available to all people in this world, but that enjoying it is not automatic and that not all people will enjoy it, it is all the more so, in respect of entering to our eternal rest in heaven. Making heaven is like making 1st Class in the University. It does not happen by chance, by luck, unprepared or expectedly. You must greatly desire it above all things, work hard with God by drawing from His infinite grace, and be willing to pay all necessary price and sacrifices, before you can make it (Matt.7:13-14, 21-23; Lk.12:32-40; 13:23-28; 21:34-36; I Cor.9:24-27).

The following are some of the key tips for entering God’s eternal rest

1. Our divine encounter must continue all the time, through your deep intimacy with God, in praying without ceasing, in fasting, in loving fellowship with the brethren, in eating the Word of God daily, and studying other helpful materials – Is.40:29-31; Jer.29:13.

2. You must love the total truth of God, without being selective. Your heart must be totally open to the whole Word and truth of God – II Tim.4:1-5

3. Run away from sin and live a holy life. Believe that holiness and freedom from sin is possible in this world. Give God no rest until He gives you the gift of sanctification and total freedom from sin – Heb.12:14; I Pet.1:15-16; I Jn.3:8-9; 5:18

4. You must be willing to know your weaknesses, what is lacking in your life, and you must be willing to take correction, counsel and discipline, without argument, and without pride – Ps.139:23-24; Prov.9:8; I Cor.11:31-32; II Cor.13:5; Heb.12:5-11.
5. Knowing that God has two sides, that God is terrible and dangerous, though loving and merciful, you must be sober, watchful, and take the side of caution, moderation and self-denial in all things – Ps.2:11; Heb.12:28-29; I Thes.5:22; Lk.21:34-36; I Cor.9:24-27

6. You must pray for grace to make heaven every day, after you must have taken care of all the above – I Thes.5:17; Lk.21:36

7. Finally, you must have definite scriptures you are standing on, and have the faith that having done all, the grace of God will help you to make heaven – Lk.12:32; Jn.10:27-30; 14:1-3; Phil.1:6; Heb.7:25; I Thes.5:23-24.

CONCLUSION

If we take time to digest all the above points and seek God’s face to do them and walk in the light of God’s word, it will be easier to walk in all-round victory and enjoy the peace and rest of God. If there are few areas where the challenge appears persistent and our prayers are not yet answered, we will continue to walk with God in faith, patience, and longsuffering, with the determination that our love for God and faith in God is unconditional. Most importantly, our deep hunger and thirst must be making heaven. This must be our greatest desire and driving force, as we set our affection on the things above (Col.3:1-4; I Pet.2:11). This grace alone will make us to have rest here on earth, regardless of what we may be passing through, knowing that our stay here on earth is for a very short time, and that God’s perfect, eternal rest is waiting for us in heaven, if we continue to walk with God steadfastly, in holiness, righteousness, total obedience, passionate worship, with faith and patience (I Pet.1:3-9).

Jewessgratitud3:
A man has planned to run away from his wife and baby after he was seen pricing baby food and diaper and started sweating inside AC after he discovered the prices.

He called his family members right away blaming them for forcing him to marry, that now he's the one facing the heat and none of them is here to help him out.

Now check out the phone the man is using, not up to 4k. Check out his shirt and trousers.. is that the person you think can afford that kind of food? I'm not trying to degrade him. I'm just trying to say, make sure you can comfortably cater for yourself and one more person before going into marriage. This is exactly what the so many men who abandoned their family passed through before deciding to take to their heels.

Marriage is a beautiful thing. let's stop making it look scary and undesirable with our myopic approach. Do it when the time is right not for public commendation or validation cos when you start facing the heat, non of those people cheering you on will come and help you like the man rightly said.
Well said.
Marriage is for matured people who can handle responsibilities. And most importantly who put God first.

I don't know how to react to this.
This is exactly what Apostle Paul exhorted us not to do. The essence of speaking in tongues is for evangelism and edification of this church.
How can the prayer edify this audience when they do not understand it and no one to interprete?
They didn't even know when to say Amen.
It's okay if he actually can't speak their language but since he can, he should have prayed in the language they understand.

However God works in mysterious ways, it probably won't have made news if he hadn't prayed in Yoruba. So it would seem it achieved the purpose of evangelism and promoting the gospel.

May God's will always be done and His name gloried in Jesus name. Amen.

Hello nairalanders I do hear many Nigerians say ojukwu lead 3million igbos to death expecially from a particular tribe so my question is how did ojukwu lead 3million igbos to death is it him that fire the first shot ? If your brothers are being killed unjustly won’t you make a decision.
Let’s take for example your sisters husband always beat and humiliate your sister and it get out of hand won’t you tell your sister to come home .how did igbos offend nigeria smiley smiley
The most important day in a person's life is the day he begins to accept his/her blame and stop blaming others. The next is knowing when you have been defeated and accepting your defeat.

Most igbos tend to blame others for their misfortunes but take the glory for their fortunes even when they were helped.

When igbos finally accept that every one that partook in the civil war had a portion of their blame, igbos will be delivered from their anti-Nigeria agenda.

The funniest part is that most igbos till date still do not accept that they were defeated in the war instead they have their own narrative of the war. That's the height of Pride and self-deceit and stubborness.

The igbos have not healed and I hope they allow themselves to heal by telling them selves thr truth.

if she was in a relationship.. She wouldn't consent to us meeting.

I've told her how we can improve on our communication because I don't like a one sided stuff.

I should want it just as she wants it too.

To those saying I should flash her money..ive stopped doing that..money is important but she shouldn't love me for money .

Build friendship with her. For some, that takes time.

@Myer

So i'm more interested in chasing success not hoes and it has helped me a lot... na person way don chop dey find woman up and down.

Thank you for the great advice sir. I really appreciate.
You're most welcome.
Now another distraction is money.
Don't chase money. Chase the things that money chases. Make yourself valuable.

Put God first, building yourself spiritually, intellectually, physically, emotionally and socially.

There's no limit to what God will make out of you.
God bless you bro.

I talked to an older colleague that I was looking for who to settle with and gave her my spec. Wanted a young ibo lady. After a few days, she recommended a lady.

It's been a few days and I'm tired.
I do all the calling and initiate all the chats. I told her a couple of times that I want the communication to be interactive. Sometimes I'll call and she won't pick or chat and she will read and won't reply.

I had to tell her wholeheartedly that if she's not interested..she should let me know. She apologized. I felt she would call this morning since I've been doing all the calling and texting to no avail.

I called this afternoon, she didn't pick and sent sms that she will call back. Up till now..she didn't.
I chatted her on WhatsApp and she said she's sorry that she went to lagos and she's tired.

Abeg all the guys..is this how stressful it is to woo a woman or she's not into me... I don't even know what to tell the lady that recommended her because im tired.
There are 3 things involved.
She's either in another relationship and you're the back-up or she is simply not so used to this relationship thing or she needs time.

Communication is every thing.
Have you asked her if she is in a relationship?
Have you asked her the time convenient for you both to talk?

Seems you have given yourself a deadline to marry as most Nigerians do. Patience is a virtue. Build a friendship with her and see how it goes from there.
Your communication will naturally improve when she begins to like you.

This is what ensues when you jump on other people's lanes without knowing your own lane.
She was seeking attention and signed a deal with the devil.

Dear believer, that desire/lust for attention, let it die.
The real work is in the field. Nigeria and the rest of the world needs missionaries.
If not for missionaries, the gospel may not have gotten to Nigeria by now because we were knee-deep in idolatry.
There are still so may nations still wallowing in idolatry and hell-bound.

Please, if the gospel of Jesus Christ has indeed worked for you, there's a billion others who need to hear this gospel because they're still under bondage. God help us all.
