“Listen son, I have commissioned you to preach the good news of the father to the heathen and the whole of my creation. Mathew I shall back my ministerial work in your hands with signs and wonders and up to any region of the earth where thou step thy feet, there shall I make my name known and prove to men that the lord of host still does wonders. I will be teach you my word better than any scholar of the word may attempt, but give your understanding to learning for out of it shall thou show thyself approved unto all good works”.
Immediately the voice ceases from coming, Mathew fell on his knees and began to worship. His soul was gladdened as he praise, yet crying. Too carried away in the euphoria of the great revelation that was revealed to him, he will never notice anyone knocking at his door.
Jane, an African Briton lady who was also a course mate of his banged on the door of his room after she had knocked the third time.
“Hey you wunderkind wont you come out now and get ready for our final day at Arizona”. Jane use to be a very close ally to Mathew, being a member of the campus mass choir coupled with the fact that they both took the same courses. Too elated with the voice he had heard Mathew quickly jacked up and flew into his white sneakers. He hugged Jane and they both flew off to the faculty hall from where all other students were waiting.

Mathew finally built up a place in his heart for the chaplain’s counsel on the reality of his call to ministry. He took it with good faith and ponders all day on his final decision to obey the clarion call to do the lord’s work.
The fear of how to go about Christian ministerial works though boiled within the intestine of Mathew, hereby questioning himself on the way forward since he wouldn’t be doing more of businesses again. He read literatures, listened to tapes and volumes of sermons by various preachers. Unlike his former attitude when sermon is preached, he now pays more attention when ever opportunity for sermonizing comes up. His ears hitch much more and in great anticipation he prays that the Sunday morning sermon comes up quickly.
With great desire to learn he often asked the chaplain how church programmes were been financed.
As the days unfold, as the time kept ticking by the seconds reading, minute following suit and the hours consecutively following its path, Mathew began to gain more understanding about his call to ministry. As some months were left to go for Mathew at Arizona college of science and technology many students anticipated what their final result and remarks would look like. With great expectation many had called their family members from near, far and wide to come and share with them in their drop of happiness. Mathew though got excited about the fact that he will be leaving the college in some few more days, but got excited the more that he will be settling to yield God’s call which he was actually contemplating in the first place. His mind burn with great desire of what the academic calendar at the seminary school was like. He thought of vacations, test and exams and even ponders on the practicality of all he would learn in the seminary some day.
Gradually as the final days in college approaches, Mathew began to see things the way he hasn’t seen before in recent time. He was quite bewildered as he started hearing some inner voice and would often turn back, searching all around as if someone stood talking to him from the back. He was often left confound after he turned and found out that no one actually stood at his back. Like the biblical Samuel he often had walked down to the college’s chaplain, narrating what happened to him after which the chaplain tells him to pay more attention to the voice he heard when next he hears such.
“That voice you heard must be that of the lord’s I can firmly assure you. It is the presence of the lord, so you just need to be ready to listen to his leading and follow it. Of course I know you can’t afford to contemplate following the lead of Christ, it is His lead that certifies anything you might intend doing in ministry”. Like a young chap who had just been told a secret about life, Mathew got excited again waiting for the next time such voice would speak to him. He waited expectantly like in the order of the upper room preparation for the holy spirit, hereby focusing more on how to remember and retain the instructions told him in the process. His mind became eager to meditate on the bible which has now become his closest companion. More knowledge of the word was revealed to him as the days comes and go. He got hold of inspirations on how to go about his Christian ministerial assignment and one afternoon as he yet read his bible the voice came visiting again.
LiteratureRe: Cassock Mess (Tales of the sons of Belial) by Niftyrules(op):
Nineteen sixty-five
1.
Reverend Mathew Ajayi grew up living most of his years in the United state where he was born and raised. His craving for Theology suddenly sprung up at his early years, precisely when he was Nineteen. Though he still attended the Arizona College of science and technology then but the nudge for the gospel was really hunting him bad. He tried concluding his years in the college successfully even though many offers were brought to him, like scholarship to study pharmacology in one of the top universities he had long to attend. But the burning desire to evangelize God's word just wouldn’t let go.
Finally the chaplain of his college came to him and told him about the trance he saw after a Wednesday fellowship held at the college's Chapel.
“Hello Mathew. Can you kindly allot to me thirty minute of your time please?
“It is no problem chap" he said abbreviating chaplain. Still surprised about what the chaplain was about discussing with him, he thought and pondered on the possible things he might want to talk about. He seriously ruminated over this as if he was trying to cram some arithmetical formula.
‘Or could it be the rehearsal I told the Choristers to let us extend till the following week. Or could it be the fact that I rejected the scholarship offer to study medicine in any top university of my choice? He just couldn’t help but imagine all the possible things the chaplain might want to discuss with him. Coming to his urgent rescue the chaplain said in his usual alto voice.
“You need not fret Mathew or ponder on so many possible things I might want to discuss with you. Though I know it might be hard for you to accept this fact but I want you to take it with good fate and see it as God’s calling for your life. I know doing God’s wish for so many young folks and most especially an ambitious one like you might be hard but just please abide to the work of the master caller”. By now Mathew was already at suspense, he now has no clue whatsoever of the actual way the chaplain was heading. His ears popped up and he listened patiently the more like a student listening to lecture.
“So tell me chap what actually is it?
"Well, let me unveil them all to you as the spirit had revealed them to me. Well firstly I heard you rejected the offer for scholarship in one of the top university in the country.
” Is that true?
Looking at his foolish self, Mathew fell down his head in pity and raised it up all over again in response.
"Yes I did chap"
"And why did you son". The word 'son' was often used by the chaplain to refer to his protégées or sometimes used to address the congregation whenever the chaplain exhorts them. Mathew braced up his voice stood more poised and continued.
“For some few months now I have been feeling this sensation in me which is often accompanied with a nudge to go to the seminary. Though I must confess I never find it interesting in the first place because it wasn’t part of my dream neither have I for once consider it as my ambition. But it was just too repetitive as it keeps coming to my mind, and kind of notifying me of something I haven’t obey.
It even extend to the extent that I keep seeing a young boy in my dream who often point to a glass made pulpit, saying something like; this is the way I want you to go. Not just once, twice, trice or quadruple times. I see this dream nearly every day now. I will actually love to accept the scholarship offer presented to me by the school authority sire but I think what I have heard and seen in this dream of mine is quite disturbing.
As he yet spoke further he broke down into tears and muttered the rest of his words. I just don’t understand why God is treating me this way. I just don’t understand. After so many years of study in school. I just don’t get it”. Moved to sympathize with him, Pastor Edward brought out a white piece of handkerchief to wipe off his tears which was already forcing itself out like a flowing river of water. Within five seconds of moping his face with the neatly wrapped handkerchief, it soon got wet.
“You know I once preached it in one of our sermon that God’s ways are not always pleasant in the first place. You just need to obey his leading just as that little angel had showed you in your dream. And coupled with those nudge you felt always, I can tell you this is the holy spirit leading and that brings me closer to the trance I told you I saw.
“Please kindly tell it to me sir Mathew said?
“You said it and I can assure you that you know it the chaplain said and continued. The lord has anointed you to come into fulltime ministry”.

each articles should not be less than 1000 words and should be an original writing not a copy and paste content, the authenticity of the articles would be scrutinized and verified sternly so if you plan on doing copy and paste, this is not for you, each articles will be written in a Nigerian perspective. serious writers should send me private message here on nairaland.
Are you telling Penplayer not to reply what you said? Don't you know it is highly provoking.
Very sorry to say this to anyone concerned. It seems one screw is missing from someone's bolted brain. Do you take writing for a child's play? 200 naira per article ke, on a website where you will make virtually some hundreds of thousand or let me even say millions.
No tell me its a joke, you just can't be serious.
FamilyRe: Why Do Olden Days Marriages Last Longer Than Modern Ones? by Niftyrules(m): 2:06am On May 15, 2015
tpiadotcom:
Strange!

Modern marriages have both the husband and wife either wishing for death or divorce as their only alternatives, why marry if you hate your fellow human?

Nor be by force nah.
You already stated it my brother. Old and new
The olden days marriage will last longer than the new based on the fact that love use to be very much involve then in very relationship. And as a matter of fact, it is often at its peak.

But reversal is the case of this present generation where conditions are attached to you getting married to your dream person. It always reversal based on some obnoxious principle we've attached with 'being with the right person'

Nairaland General10 Categories Of Folks You Need Watch Out For On Nairaland. by Niftyrules(op): 10:01am On Apr 23, 2015
10 categories of folks you need watch out for on Nairaland

One of the best forum to interact and get some mind blowing gist alongside the latest news in Nigeria and across the globe is Nairaland. I was surprised to read what a friend (don't stress yourself to think I'll be mentioning the name of the friend in question) wrote on his facebook page. It read in quote, "my day has always been fantastic with prayers, love from my family and a cool visit to Naija's most buzzling forum Nairaland". Well I'm not surprise since I am also guilty of this. But come to think of this, there are some folks you will see every now and then on various thread, pages of nairaland. Find their categories below.

#10 The emoticon/funny picture artiste on Nairalanders
why not go take up some artistic artisanship on the mainland (beside the turning to airport when you're coming from Ikeja) or probably take up your drawing book. (don't forget those days our parent chase us to leave the T.V and go get our drawing book) I just can't imagine why they often such attitude when vital issues are on board and the author of an article wants (in most cases) their respected opinion. As if that wasn't enough, some may even go as far as bringing up a funny picture that scorns the article (and I'll be like, where did this dude get this picture from). Well one word to folks ni this category, go find wife and stop messing around our pretty looking threads

#9 The Nairaland Land owners
If you say you never come across these folks, then I must confess to you that you've never really been to Nairaland.com at all.
I don't know if Seun has started apportioning landed property to some folks Here, or what do you think could warrant someone saying he had booked a space when he ought to comment.
Hello folks, one word to folks in this category.

#8 the antagonistic guys or ladies
the ladies are also trooping in seriously into this category. I wonder why they've forgotten so soon their place, I mean their noble art of putting together the kitchen wares, getting the kids ready for school and of course joining in their usual feminine gossip.
This days on Nairaland you see ladies also venting their antagonistic spleen on an innocent (Idibia) originator of a thread. My question to you folks. Were you commissioned'from above to be a bozz in every of your film. You better fear God, if you try it with me. Well I reserve my comment.

#7 The Beefers
M.I already sang them a song (don't ask me what the song is). I wonder why these folks are never happy about something good. I saw one yesterday while I was enjoying a lovely view of a couple prewedding shot, and this guy was like; 'is it me or hasn't d guy got a bigger ass dan d gal'. Must you be on the beef side at all times? Abi you no wan marry ni?

#6 Some Unbelievable wise ones
guys on this forum can finish you If you talk some shit they (your readers) are not pleased with. This guys can really be saucy that they will never say anything sensible on a normal day.
But on this same forum the same guys to whom you'll never expect some words of wisdom from simply because of their daily foolish talk can just ignite suddenly some witty remark and you be like. 'Ahaah, who dash am'.

#5 The punctuation mark commentators
let the sleeping thread lie and stop those useless punctuation of yours. It is not compulsory you comment when you know it is only fullstop, comma, question marks you will be adding to our innocent thread. Let this be the last time you do that, unless...............

#4 Copy and paste folks
bros I salute your courage oh, madam you too much. It will be very hilarious to note that some dude will come to Nairaland with great effontery and paste news article they've copied from some media house's website and at the end of it all, in order to get all the glory a (fake) journalist deserve, they will now fail to credit the original source, which automatically translate that they are the original source of the information. If you're still doing this you better stop it, because some of us here are regular visitors of virtually all of these media house's websites. God punish the devil. Don't forget the church song, 'all glory must be to the Lord' and not to you.

#3 The Mums
If you've never come across the mums before then you're not fit to be here. I wouldn't tell you who they are but from these few words you will understand who I'm referring to.
"Umh like lalastica, (I never mean him oh, na just example) said you can't continue like these and expect your spouse will show her love to you. Why will you be bossy over her at all times, she's the one that will wash your cloth, do the home keeping cook your food (bath you, Did I ever say that). Umh single mother in Israel. You're welcome.

#2 The Tribalistic Orubebe
I wouldn't talk about this at all. Just imagine the recently concluded presidential election, try rendering the name Orubebe and then connect his reaction to happenings on Nairaland. Then you know what I'm talking about


#1 You
Think of all you've done on this forum and suggest who the last person could be.

joseph1832:
Feelings of your love cloud our thoughts
Feelings of your love and pride
High and nigh
Just like Sade gives the sweetest taboo
So your love give feelings of sweetest voodoo Which mesmerize like juju and completely turns us into mumus


At night we cry like crying freeman
In the morning we laugh like Vincent Price in thriller
Cause your love thrills us like Michael Jackson's thriller


We fall in love like Alicia Keys keeps falling in love
We go down like Mary J. Blige goes down when your love is upside down


As Bjork said all is full of love, so your presence is full of all that is love
For your presence is the essence of our existence
As Blackstreet sang No Diggity so your love will never give us Jibbity


Your love will never hide in the closet like Michael Jackson's in the closet
Your love will never run away like Hoobastank running away
Your love will never go numb like Linkin Park's Numb
Your love will never break like Seether's Broken
Your love will never rest in pieces like Saliva's Rest In Pieces


With the ferocity of a wildfire, so your love consumes us like the veracity of Perseus love for Andromeda
The wrath of John Legend's All Of You clash into us like Louis Letterier's Clash Of The Titans
Your love will soar high and roar afar and it will echo in the mind of the people who has always been true to you


For your love is all we seek
Queen Jennimma.
Take a bow.

An Ode to his Praise



Listen brother
Look not how much older
God made the country, man made the town
Thinkest thou not of the now
For he shall tell you how
So let be the strange gods
And give the king of kings the bow


Gone are the days
When you need kill cow
Or plough all day
That the world would say Waoh


But he came
Changed ur name
Brought you fame
That you may be sustained


Is it not much more giving him praise
He gave to us faith
And brought us this place
Your errors he erase


So praise him in Lagos
Let the inhabitant of Abuja
Say hallelujah
Leave not your mouth ajar
Make it praise filled
For the lord got you raised
So let the city talk of his faithfulness


Where are poetic lovers online, I have not gotten any reply or comments yet?

She Use to be my Love


She use to be my honey
The betterhalf I cherish than money
Yes, she was once my love
The dove I used to hug
The angel that speaks the truth that you wouldn't contest
But where is she now


A fortnight prior halloween
over there
At the other end where I make ends meet
where I make ends meet for us to eat
Where folks on wheels come for a treat
There she was feeding my food to the dogs


Like a dumb donkey, I stood
Still thinking my eye might be faking it
But the truth came hunting me
When I heard her sexy groan
My bone suddenly became fury fused
couple with the touch of awe, making me seem though conjured


My mouth dripping with spittle
kidding myself as if I was little
I stood lonely all night waiting
To see if she will come begging
But the rage soon die down in me
And painfully I let her be

Justice delayed

When they fail to speak
When they frown from the real
When they dodge the innocent deed
Should we then wear the wig
and hit the gavel for justice

See us not as law breakers
Neither are we truce breakers
We aint law men
Nor law-maker
But what happens when the jury fail to speak

The bearer of justice
Men of "valour"
who ought uphold justice in all cases
Hit the gavel in the right phases
But failed us when we least expect

What do we, when they fail to speak
Should we stand at the peak
Nod to see what will be
Or Beckon to the alien we seek
Of course no, washing our dirty linen for public view


What then, do we when justice tarry
We wouldn't tell this to all dick and harry
Why not let truth rule
Give to us a niftyrules
And let justice rule

The only problem I see in this generation of youth is our inability to wait, just a little patience we don't have. Even on our pc we look for shortcuts, likewise on the road and even while eating our Agege bread. Or let me ask, how many of you guys loose the nyloleum before breaking the bread from the top?

mctolspell:
I had to give it a little break as it was almost going off the reason why we started this, the main reason is to point and paint the plight of a typical International student in a country like Cyprus, nothing more. Not to glorify or bring my self down and never to make people pity me or something. I felt if I could get an opportunity like this before coming here, I would have come better prepared. All fingers are not equal, some peeps will need this and some will not. Let's still not forget it is an account of an Imperfect person on his sojourn in Cyprus.
Where did I stop? The Mid term exam is here again, and it is getting cold, time to hit the Library like there is no tomorrow, the courses are not as difficult as the previous semester, I have some electives which is certainly an 'A' for me provided I take it serious, study hard and hope for a better result. Frankly, my electives serves as shock absorber for me, unfortunately there are not many of them through out your period of studying Civil Engineering here, all other courses are almost pure Mathematics with Integration and Interation always coming up with their ugly head. The mid term exam came and gone, we are waiting for the result, it takes maximum of 10 days, some even come out with the result the same day or next, Yea, those bald headed professors can be so mean, they want to disrupt you for the rest of your exam.
While some are expecting their result, anticipating and hoping, I was already thinking and counting down the days for the final exam, I got bothered a lot more about paying my fees so as to avoid unnecessary running around and maybe not writing the exam, I'm somewhat a pessimist so that must have increase my worrying spirit but seriously you don't want to miss the finals as a result of non payment of fees, the depression may make you lose more than a semester, yea, that is how bad it can get. As soon as you freeze (defer) a semester, you may just keep freezing till only God knows, the schools charge some money for freezing, you decided to defer because of lack of fund and the school still charges you about 30% of your semester fee... Wow! This people are elitist.. Lol (wrong perception though)
Anyways, the result started coming out, moods start changing, Professors started having several angry knock on their door to ask for scripts, asking with tough hard English why you lost some point. Well, some of us that have very bad scores in some of the important course, will not go knocking on the door, we knew what we wrote and we already expected what we get. It is no miracle, the way you lie, you will sleep.
This crazy people won't give you Area of concentration, we hear stories of how it goes in other faculties, but Engineering mba, How do you expect me to know all the formulas inside this huge book. Oh well! You have to else you will not be an Engineer. My anticipation for result is usually low, unlike others, not just because of the results and to avoid change of mood, I have other things occupying my mind which is finance of course, you don't want to hear people tell you the date, especially when a new month is approaching, My rent plan is on monthly basis, utility bills ain't coming cheap, this landlord comes out smoking every month end, asking you for money every now and then. You have lot's of things to bother on. . I know you will be thinking, if your parent can't sponsor you, then why did you decide to come here, you shouldn't have bite more than you can chew.
Yea you are right, but do you know I started working at the age of 16? I was designed (not trained because my parent never supported that), to try to be a little dependent, yea there must be a cause and that is my dad, he explains, lecture, give you story as well as the full story of all your atrocities since you were born before he gives you a dime, he is willing to give you but he won't till he gives you all of those story, not exaggerating! I never loved those moment and that must have made me think being independent, I sure do depend on him on bigger issues and circumstances like Tuition and the likes, right here in Cyprus, I know how much this my (education project) is causing them, I really want to help them out a little, and that makes me bothered and worried always. It sure affected me in class too. I was in an exam hall one day and I was lost thinking about how to make ends meet. He sometimes end up paying most times though. Don't pity me, those struggles makes me a better person and head above all of my mates around me. I love it and I'm proud of it! I struggle to fend a little for myself and every penny makes me more proud of who I'm becoming, it is a work in progress. Results started coming in, my close associates are from other Nationalities, Turkish and other nationalities, they will not ask you what you result is or trying to get in competition with you, that helps me a little bit but still has it's adverse effect. I later checked, some were good, few on the average and one far below average, I never attended the class, it clashes with one of my more important lecture that takes 5 full hours. What can I do? The crazy supervisor won't remove it, he kept threatening me with Graduation problems, Don't forget it is Midterm but it is as important as the finals, most times a failure in midterm exam can result to failure in finals, exclusive to my department as I don't know exactly how it pans out in other faculties.
It is getting colder, jackets are needed, boots are summoned, you begin to sleep more, you fall asleep immediately you get back from class. sleeping becomes competition, studying at home becomes a taboo, you barely expose your feet for an hour. Wow! People are shivering, ambulance flying over once in a while, new students and some old collapsing, and we are not even in Russia. oh well, it doesn't snow here but it can be very cold! I mean VERY COLD. December is coming, Christmas is here, Semester Finals is closing in, Money becoming huge problem, School sending notice and threat notes of how debtors won't write finals. You keep giving a deep sigh at intervals suddenly! Plight of a an international student.
One will think you're an art student regarding the way you write. Nevertheless, @OP i've also been following you ever
since you reopened this thread. I just hope
you let us work together so that we can
make this diary of yours a manuscript, fine
tune it and publish it to the world. Or what do
you feel.

BusinessRe: 7 Annoying People You Meet At The ATM by Niftyrules(m): 7:08pm On Oct 03, 2014
cnnamoko: Being in a long queue, hoping to use an ATM service can be very frustrating at times. Thanks to these characters who make it annoying.

1. The guy that counts money before leaving the ATM for others. As if if the money short, ATM go complete am for am?

2. The dude that knows he does not have a kobo in his account, but hopes for a miracle. After wasting everyone's' time,' insufficient balance' will chase him away!

3. The guy that multiplies the cue just to check his balance. You will be left wondering whether he does not receive alerts.

4. The guy that acts as if the world will end today. He goes to the Atm and you think he wants to withdraw his whole life savings. At a point people will start begging him to remain some cash in the ATM.

5. The dude that quarrels with the ATM. Even though the machine is prompting him that his pin is incorrect or card has expired. U will still him complaining or screaming at the ATM. 'Jeez! I used this card just this morning! Which kyn bank be this?

6. that man/woman that just goes there an stand for almost 20minutes... When you go closer you discover the machine asked 'do you wish to proceed? Yes or No? And the olodo just did not press anything.

7. The instructor. Leaves the cue to go and instruct another only to be the next person. Too annoying.

austinoeze: u sound so reckless, irresponsible n foolish. i read Agric Econs n Extension n by God's grace d course has taken me to as far as egypt n China. am still very young bt d course has exposed me to d world. Now tell me wat regular course u read.
The guy need to relax his brain cos its doing some over heating. Doesn't he know that anything agric related is career guaranteed and as a matter of fact, that's what our nation is now trying to invest more on. I need to know the school this guy attended and also ask him how many times he had change from one course to another.

May God heal your understanding.
