Men should always pray. You can pray without fasting but fasting without praying is just a weight loss program.

Imagine you are a log of wood with a treasure hidden inside of you but also with many negative issues clinging on to you. You need to burn the wood to char off all the troubling elements and reveal the treasure within.

Prayer is what sets you on fire. If the wood is dripping wet (with food) it will take a long time to catch fire. On the other hand, if the wood is dry (from fasting) it will catch fire very easily. The longer you fast and pray, the fiercer the fire burns. Not too many things in creation can resist fire.

Why don’t you set yourself on fire today and watch life’s troubling issues melt away? In the end you will come out as gold refined.

NB: The above analogy is also obtainable in other religions of the world. Even the wicked know and practice this. That is why the lazy children of light fall prey to “burning” children of darkness.

Sewasaunt:
Trying to educate Nigerians is tiring, very, very tiring.

I also noticed that many people have this disdain for Medical practitioners, they would rather patronize their 'common folk'.

I wonder what can be done, how did we get here?

Is it education? An educated person on Nairaland met a charlatan for toothache and bragged about how the toothache went after the man bathed his tooth with a substance he later realized was acid. Like you saw a man, opened your mouth wah and he put something into your mouth A man you don't know from Adam, no permanent location to get him if anything goes wrong!

Is it poverty? Many of them pay very high rates to charlatans, e.g Nairaland's dr Wale charges 25,000 to treat staphylococcus and people pay.

How can a normal person take the words of a random 'aunty nurse' over a Pharmacist?

Then when things go south, they come crying to the hospitals, claim bills are expensive despite spending more on Charlatans and later open threads like a lady did about how Nigerian dentists only extract teeth and never treat. Aunty, did you go early enough?

Why?

Why?

A child will have appendicitis and next thing it is 'aporo epa ijebu', what is wrong with us?

How do we get better?

My dear I have seen even highly educated professionals like lawyers and engineers believing in quacks. One lecturer nearly died from taking herbal concoctions. God saved him by making his children insist on bringing him to the hospital.
The worst is when I see pregnant professionalS going to give birth in a quack’s maternity home. A million and one things could go wrong but they seem so ignorant yet very educated.

SSIPON:
So you just mix random vowels and syllables together?

Whenever you are "speaking in tongues",do you understand what you are saying?

What about those that speak in tongues in other religions?

I consider your post and comments a sincere search for the TRUTH. You are already seeking. Get ready for the FIND in Jesus’ name. Amen.

SSIPON:
Abeg make we hear word

If you are a Christian I pray you remember this your post the day you access the help of the Holy Spirit through the power of tongues.
If you are not a Christian then I sincerely pray for your conviction and conversion. When that happens, please remember to pray and bring more souls to the kingdom of light.
WE ARE WAITING FOR YOU!!!!

If it is as old as write up posits then it is something you should approach with care. Even our native doctors speak what ordinary humans don’t understand.
Don’t be too quick to label what you don’t understand bullshit.

By the way I am a Christian and I am speaking in tongues as reply you. That’s me making tremendous power available in the MIGHTY name of JESUS.

They just want children to be handed over to them so that they can groom them into monsters that they themselves have become.
Oh! Lord please have mercy on innocent children.

Noshitboi:
shey u wan carry ur smelly pussy go crash pesin jet. You this girl wey okada and keke riders don knack scatter

This your comment is just too funny.

Men are made oh! The question is who or what makes/establishes a man? Businesses, education, career etc will only succeed based on who/what is backing you.
I don’t know how you choose to rise but as for me, I am established by a God known as the “MAKER OF MEN”.
If only you will seek Him. Give Him your life, be patient and watch Him establish you through anything at all: business, career etc.
Age 31 is not too late but you need to act very fast. His name is Jesus Christ.

In the place of prayer you build the capacity to love Your love-interest.

book shops and electronics/phone acecories igbos, infact the most popular resturant in uniport is owned by an ogoni woman, bole joint ogoni people, every day choba night market resturant line akwa ibomites., why do we choose to behave like gbagyis? even our brothers in asaba that are not even sharing land borders with the igbos are more busness oriented than us, why? we prefer free money to legit hustler! y'all sit ya lazy ass and wait for free oyel money! the agbero wey we get still dey learn work sef. i think this isolation we are having from the igbos is not helping matters at all! we need to travel abeg. if you ever heard of gbagyi thats how we are now. lets start going to school, start doing business go to ikoku market and challenge the igbo there! if the asabas can do it, we too can.

@persian .
@ exmillitant .

I am Igbo and I know some very hard working Ikwerre people. Is this not over-generalization?

I seek my Lord’s face. He has never failed me.
His name is JESUS CHRIST.

Add life to the house. From outside to inside not even one green leaf.

emae009:
Akwa Ibomites = Akwa Ibom

Cross Riverians = Cross River (where Calabar is).

The Europeans used to refer to the black race as monkeys. Would you prefer being called that because "that's what other tribes call you" no offense

I always do well to correct people when they make that mistake no matter how trivial it may seems. You never know what might happen tomorrow and something that was meant to go to Akwa Ibom gets channeled to Cross River and the reason might be "sheybi they are all Calabar people"

Take it easy. In the north, almost all southerners are referred to as Igbo. If you are from the south it’s either you are Igbo or Yoruba.

Henix:
A girl's value determines the quality of suitors that she will attract. Let them girls add value to themselves while dreaming for that Mr Perfect. Marriage is no longer an escape route for poverty

Chaii!!! But it actually takes time to acquire some value in this modern era. As they are pushing, age 30 rushes at them.

Icumsa45:
Abeg no discourage me, the woman I am in love with is presently 31.

Implement your love now and start shooting fast.

chatinent:
Unless dem print en name for ₦1000 note sha.

With your name and face on a banknote, if you are fearful she will hold on to your money and be longing for the fearless man.

That calm/fearless nature creates a wonderful sense of security which is truly what all humans crave.

The IVF procedure itself is a miracle that merits glorifying God. The knowledge of doctors also come from God.
The testimony is that a childless woman finally has a child to the glory of God. The details of how it happened is no one’s business. In testifying nobody tells how much sex they had as a couple before natural conception. So the story of IVF in my humble opinion is not necessary.
If only you know how many IVFs fail.

Zenithh:
The eyes of the real igbos don dey open. If these igbo pple mean ipob ehnn..ipob will regret going against the will of d people just to spite Buhari who doesnt care about the country.

Ipob keeps making people reject them. South South pple have warned them to steer clear of their land,just as Wike dealt with them severely. Ipob doesn't know their illiterate, brash,violent and tout like modus operandi is what makes reasonable pple reject them. From the way their members operate on various social media platforms to the way they behave in physical...very ghetto lime behavior.

Ipob change ur ways pls

They can even force you to buy their bracelets, headbands, etc. If you say you don’t have money while you look well fed then you are automatically a saboteur.
Their ways are really crude. Should Biafra materialize through IPOB it becomes “goodbye to Igboland” for me.

Omicron007:



Imagine two applicants for a job interview.
One from Gombe State University and another from University of Ibadan.

What was I saying sef?

Which University did that vulture griller finish from?
I want to confirm something.

Allow the applicants to show themselves first. In my field, a lot of graduates from the federal universities are shamelessly incompetent.

Dvoika is same as zero. Dvoishniks in Russia will definitely be zero students in Nigeria.
I know you understand that any little attempt should be enough to earn the student a 3 which is definitely a sad score for serious minded Nigerian students in Russia.

Some doors will never open till you step away from what you already know.
I personally love knowing what’s next and what lies beyond the veil. If I were you, I’ll bang shut the door of the unfulfilling job and leap into the unknown.

N:B— DO NOT leap like me till you are sure that Christ is there to uphold you.

Ex 1.
She never declined any offer of food. You want rice? Yes. You want shawarma, cake and ice cream? Yes. You want stout? Yes. You want roasted fish? Yes. You want biscuit and malt? Yes. You want eggs? Yes. There is only one can of coke left in the fridge; bring it. Ah ah! All in one day!!! I definitely don’t want to see you again.

Ex 2.
I was the only angel in her sight and she could do anything for me. But babe’s 2nd name was quarrel. She was never at peace with any other person I know. I knew I was marking time with her. I can’t come and be settling quarrels everyday. Moreover, one day I will become the target of her negative energy. Babe is an ex today!!!

No need to complain. Open shop and sell genuine spare parts.

akanbiaa:
Hmmmm

Both parties are right ,the doctors deserve better and the employers should not pay for services not rendered during strike so as not to encourage others to use any dispute to go on strike and get paid for not working while making money in private practice , My advice for doctors is why not render services in line with pay instead of outright strike and my advice for employer is to be transparent with the doctors to let them know what they can afford to pay and reason together on acceptable terms while working towards getting better pay.

My dear some of us have not been paid for 7 months. Some have not been paid for 19 months and we have been working and hoping they will pay.
They have said ‘no work no pay’. Why not ‘no pay no work’?
A bricklayer without formal education makes at least 5k a day in my area and can feed himself with it. Why treat your professionals this way?
I am one doctor that will not look for work outside Nigeria but it is sad what the government is doing. It is even more painful when the patients you are trying to save align with the government to malign you.
You said nothing wrong. But I wish you can feel our pain.

ushiebabah:
Pastor Nebes.. For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also (James 2:26).

Read and be bless
1 Thessalonians 4:11

What of works without faith? In faith your works are perfected. I pray you get the job but I also pray that it will be based on faith in Christ.

You need Jesus Christ fast. A job alone will grind you to death. In Christ you won’t just survive, you will actually live. Go for Christ!

Give your life to Jesus Christ.

Camped in Potiskum Yobe state. Hope the camp is still there. No direct flights to Yobe state. Fly to Lagos then take another flight to Maiduguri. From Maiduguri you will go 4 hours by road to the camp in Potiskum. I stayed a week there without security issues.
The return journey was an ~3hrs drive to Kano. Then a flight from Kano to Lagos. Then another flight from Lagos to base.
That was my journey. Heard people spent >3 days on the road just to get to Yobe.
I wish you success.

Adaorababy:
Wonders shall never end . How I wish my husband was invited to this trade fair. He can so fart for Africa. In fact, he will so drag his fart very loudly and annoying to nearly a minute making both high and low pitch tones with it. I usually tell him he sings with his anus. I keep wondering how people do this. I always advise him to go for check up that he's not healthy. At the end of the disgusting act, he will say, "no vex, mess no get toilet, you don ever hear anybody say, excuse me, I want to goan mess?" Very irritating act

Sorry dear!!!!
Na waaaa!!!!!

The wise man among fools will be considered the most foolish.
I love Igbo land. I want Biafra to materialize but I pray it never comes through IPOB.
