@ acorntree, and Co,
.
…This is the word of the LORD unto
Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by
power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of
hosts (Zechariah 4:6).
.
There’re people who try so hard to succeed through their own might and
natural wisdom; they are erudite; they’ve
been schooled, yet true success eludes them. This is because they function from
the mind, the sense-realm, which at its best, is grossly limited. The mind is never
enough; true success is by the Spirit, God's Spirit.
.
The world may describe you as a “mighty
brain”, one of the world’s intelligentsias,
it makes no difference. The wisdom of this world profits nothing. Success isn’t by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of God. If you’ve been trying to succeed by your own power or ability, it’s time to quit the struggle. If you’ve been trying to Achieve your set-goals even the one you've been setting and failing or the one you just set for the year (New Year Resolutions) with your own human wisdom and principles, it’s time to rely on the strategies of God and His wisdom to guide you. 2 Corinthians 3:5 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.”
.
Our competence, the ability, wisdom, and knowledge by which we function are of God; therefore, don’t trust in your physical strength or natural intelligence.Trust the Lord. How are you going to grow in knowledge, acedemics even in your health life as a person? How are you going to multiply your finances? How are you going to build that business? The Lord says, “It’s by my Spirit!”.
.
Success is by the Holy Ghost. You’d become a mystery to others, and a wonder to your generation, as you walk
with the Spirit and allow Him guide youin
your affairs. Take God's word serious and follow His Plan. If you want to go past religion; if you want to know the reality of the Kingdom of God, and the reality of the glory of God, you’ve got to know and relate with the Holy Spirit as a person. He’s the key to extraordinary success.
.
Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain (1 Corinthians
9:24).
.
To be successful means living the victorious life through God’s Word. It also
means to achieve God’s desired goals for
your life. You ought not to measure your
success by comparing yourself with
someone else, because you may not know God’s plan for that person’s life. Don’t
think you’re failing just because someone
else is “succeeding.” God doesn’t define
success that way.
.
Success is relative, and we’re all at different stages in life. Between you and God, you can know whether you’re successful or not. God measures your success by how much you’re able to accomplish of the things He’s planned for you to do, at different phases of your life.
.
You can look at your life today, even now,
and tell whether you’re a success, at this
phase of your life. God’s dream is for you to heap success upon success. If you’re successful now, He can count on you for more, and entrust you with an even higher level of success tomorrow.
Therefore, measure your success at each point in your life by comparing your performance or accomplishments with the goals you set to achieve at the beginning.
.
You can be a success at a certain level and then the goal broadens, the challenges are increased, and the dyke is raised. When you overcome the challenges and attain those new goals, you become a success again at that new level. It goes on that way from one level of glory to another.
Remember, 'True Succes can only be seen in God' outside God, it's as grass and i guess you know how the grass plant fare.
Goodluck!

What if she doesn't like wearing shoes

If she doesn't like wearing shoes, it means
she is an Introvert who don't like making friends, always indoors, always platting her air (she doesn't do weavon or attachments but only All-back, Thread, Chukwu, Side-Attraction, Exibit etc).
And she is probably from (a Palm Oil making community) in Sango Ota in Ogun State, were they use bare foot to match Banger (palm oil fruit/palm karnel) just to extract the Red-Palm-Oil. She probably does no Make-Up, she has no Boy Friend, she is brilliant and she is always the best in her class...

bluice2:

OP Mbanu...........

Women are known to be more fashionable savvy than men are and
this perhaps as lent credence to the
sometimes unhinged expectations
regarding their appearance.
One unique fashion item that stands out in the dressing of women is their shoes. Shoes are somewhat a window to the soul of women as they can provide information regarding the personality traits and the kind of person the wearer is.
.
More so, the shoes a woman wears can also inform you the kind of character
she possesses and sometimes an in
depth guideline on ways through which
such women can be approached. Thus,
we provide a list of common footwear
and the personality traits of the wearer they represent.
1. White Trainers Shoes
White trainers are footwear commonly
worn for athletic and sporting activities.
For this reason, it is ideal to keep such
shoes exclusively for sporting activities if
you don’t want to give off an appearance
of someone living the past in the future.
.
2. Street Shoes
The common makes of street shoes
include Vans, Nike, Ugo Bros, Jaguar and some of those made by IPOB guys in Onitsha, Orlu and Lagos. These type of shoes is cool and ideal for young students in late teenage years or early twenties. These shoes are characterised with multiple colours which definitely conveys the wearer as immature. As such there should be a limit to the occasions where you’d wear these type of shoes.
.
3. Brogues Shoes
Brogues are visually appealing and sends
out an appealing message. It portrays the
wearer as a dependable Extrovert with
high fashion sense. It also sends a
message across that you want to look
casual, smart and highly fashionable while retaining your feminine appeal.
.
4. Loafers Shoes
Loafers have given both male and females
alike a fashionable appeal for ages. It is a
revolutionary look that has been around
for over 60 years and is cool to wear with a sports jackets and cool pants. It gives you off as someone with a carefree nature who is jovial and approachable.
.
5. Knee-high Boots Shoes
These type of shoes gives you off as
someone that is open to conversation and
new adventures. It signifies that she’s a
fun person e.g (Mamagee and Onila), who is sexy and confident of herself in anything she is doing seriously or unseriously. It is however important that the female folks note that these shoes are more appropriate for women with long
legs. Unfortunately, Mamagee and Onila have short legs, but those legs have travelled far and wide. 'Deariz God'
.
6. Short ankle-length boots shoes
These boots give off an air of ambition
and determination to succeed. They are
comfortable and trendy in a fashionable
sense even as they retain the street savvy
appearance.
.
7. Wedges Shoes
Wedges usually portray the wearer as an
Extrovert who exudes confidence. They are
mostly stylish and give a near perfect look. (Go to Lekki and VGC, you will get enough of them in stores there).
.
8. Thongs Shoes
Shoes that have the Thong designs are
meant to be worn strictly on the beach or
at home. They portray freedom and non
conformity with societal norms.
.
9. Stilettos Shoes
Stilettos are the ultimate feminine shoe to
make the perfect impression. They signify
an extroverted and outgoing personality
who could be business like when required (this is the type Helen Paul and Chioma Chukwuka wears, and it feats their personality). It also gives off the wearer as someone who relishes new experiences.
.
10. Two-and-a-half inch Heels Shoes
Shoes with these type of heels portray a
confident woman that is self assured and
confident with her appearance.
.
11. Sandals Shoes
Mostly worn by women in a demanding
professional field. Such women are
confident about themselves but aren’t that friendly and may be difficult to get along with e.g (Misspicy).
.
12. Ankle-strap Flats Shoes
This is an ideal shoe for women with long
and slim legs. E.g. (Preetydiva and Onome123) They are ambitious, hardworking and earn well. They have no time for trash.
.
13. Flats Shoes
Flats look best on women with a bit of
chunk in the ankle region. Flats give off
the personality of a traditional timid
conformist who would want people to go
by the books e.g. (Ekaette, Sikiratu and MizAdama and all those girls that attend/goes to Lagos-Ibadan Express Way Every Sunday).
Though Mzdivacious hates it to some extent.
.
For the ladies, ensure you wear the right
kind of shoe that suits your legs, which is convenients for you inside and in public. Don't wear shoes because of what people will say, don't wear (High-Heels) if you know you cannot walk properly with it. Don't go and be imitating Onila and Mamagee. If you do, at your own peril.
Wear a simple and perfect shoe that feats your dress-sense, while the Extra- Nice men should look out for the caveat of the shoes that best suits their Honey's personality they desire.
.
Ishilove, lalasticlala, Mynd44 move to front page let them girls see it...

Am not judging you though...
You spent £108 (27,000 Naira minus Transport) in total at the club just to have fun, fun that will never add value to your life.
Do responsible people even go to club?
Wise up bro. This is a New Year. Don't join the queue of negative thinkers, think straight and be responsible. Don't do things because other 'Niggaz' are doing it. They are different from you, don't forget where you are comin from.
Moreover, your family are looking up to you... Don't disappoint them!

MrPeterson:
Nice one. Going to wait @ the yapot for don baba j

Hehehe...
Please who among you is the Driver of this motocycle?
My eyes have been rotating round the motocycle to find the driver, but all to no avail.

Messi is always humble.
Humility has really played the best part in his life and career uptil this moment and still counting...
How i wish Jose Mourinho will learn how to be humble from him.

(15) All the 9ja Girls on Facebook are always Dating/In-a-Relationship while all the Guys are always Single since 1999...

Mzdivacious:
oh sorry i didnt know i was talking to a briton who doesnt know pidgin/yoruba or d humour in d olamide-donjazzy fight.ndo bro,no vex

it was a humor indicating d tablet gift was a yahoo maga don pay

Hehehe...
Am not one though.
My foundation is Sincerity and it always pay for me. I have never regreted any act/step of my Sincerity On and Offline.

These Kenyan men self. They are always on the News and Social Media headlines disgracing themselves everywhere with these acts!
After, those Kenyan Girls will be posting on Twitter and on FB saying:
¤ ''Nigerian Men are the most Romantic men in Africa.
¤ The have 'Nkoso' (honey tongue).
¤ Nigerian men can kill you with love when you are Rich.
¤ The can make your sell your mama's 'Labula' (land/house).
¤ They will use enticing Kisses and s*x to collect your 'Mkongo' (car key) etc.
But truly speaking the like Nigerian Men because of feelings they get from Nigerian men and after some of them might have fallen for the wrong guys, they will start saying:
¤ ''If you see a 'lambasu' (a snake) and a Nigerian man k*ll the Man first and ignore the 'lambasu' (snake).
¤ Don't ever let a Nigerian man stay in your 'Kwakwa' (Bedroom) for 20minutes.
¤ Don't leave a Nigerian man and your junior sister at 'Labula' (home) alone.
¤ Nigerian men are not Faithful.''

First, if you understands that Character and Attitude is beauty (Male or Female) then you don't need a soothsayer anymore to tell you who a Pretty/Beautiful Girl is.
.
Go for Character/Attitude because that is what counts for the now and in the long run.
When the Physical/Artificial Beauty must have fades away, it is that ''Inner'' Beauty (Character/Attitude) that will still keep you there in the long run (Dating or Married).
It is Character/Attitude that sustain Beauty (Boy or Girl/Man or Woman)

In total summary, 'Some' women (majority) of them truly don't know what they really want. They are indecisive!

Mzdivacious:
fvck that shii.yahoo ti take over.iyalaya anybody

I don't understand your language above.
Can you please repeat you ''POEM'' in simple English, British English to be precise.
Thank you!

kamirun225:
I hate women!!!!

Don't say ''women'', say 'some' women or those that acts like the lady in focus.
A woman gave birth to you and every human you see on planet earth...Including those on Nairaland and the ones on EFCC custody facing Probe and the rest.

Djnotte88:
if u asked a lady exactly what she wants ...she won't know Wat to tell u.......girls always tink they are one step above guys bt nt knowing a guy has already plotted a graph on hw to use u even before approaching you.....

Heheheh!
This is Funny. You must be very good in Physics or General Graph Plotting (GGP)

Every one on earth have their Defination of True Love. It varies from person to person (male and female).
What Mrs. B. calls Love is different from what Mrs. A. calls it.

For me, am always attracted to the Right people (Real Life and on Social Media). Because am Right myself.
Last year, the Woman i met on Social media sent me a Package through UPS, the parcel man called me up and i went to their office. Behold when i opened it, it was a Samsung Tablet and a Happy Birthday Note. And i was like.... Am i dreaming!

Looking at their various Performances so far, Messi will steal the show. He is Liked by almost every coaches and Captains of other teams, Humble to jonalists and his performance since 2014 has been awesome compare to that of Ronaldo and Neymar. Though Ronaldo and Neymar are two wonderful players too, but were not too 'lucky' to exist in this Messi-Era just yet... Messi is an Exceptional King in this game.
We are FCB...
Football only exist in Barcelona!
.
#TeamBarcelona...
Like if you want Messi to win it.
Share if you choose Neymar.
Quote if you're for C. Ronaldo

Am not judging anybody, but i think anyone who truly knows the Importance and Essence of a Church (A bible teaching church) will not ask this question. Mind you a church is not the Four-Walls you see, but a ''Gathering of Saints'' that is 'Sons/Daughters' of the Most High according to the Bible... Let's go for a commercial break!

Had it been the members of the Church become poor after their givings, i don't think you will find any member left. I tought it was written in the Bible that we should not Judge. But don't think the members of the Church are fools. Atleast if one is, the rest won't.
.
This is why i like some of our Muslims Brothers and Sisters, you will never hear them pointing out any thing Negative about their religion, 'even if there is' because they know, respect their religion, they are Conscious of the implication and are responsible towards the objectives of their religion.

banjeezay:
Ok let me come back from church first

Do you mean Efò rìrò and some added ''ingredients'' that are uncommonly common?

It all happened yesterday around 9:00am while me and a friend were outside the house gate. It seems my next flat neighbour and his wife were having an outing that morning. While we were outside, the man fully dressed with Native, he brought out his car from the compound and parked outside close to where we were, waiting for his wife to join him.
.
As usual, we greeted and i and my friend continued what we were doing.
After about 3minutes, the man told somebody to help him call his wife and the person returned with a message that ''She said she is coming''...
Again, after about some minutes the man send another person, this time a girl to help him call his wife and she came with a reply ''She said she coming''
The man yelled ''O God'' and ask the girl: ''what was she doing?''
The girl replied ''she is still doing her make-up.
The man said ''Make-up?'' and the girl said ''Yes'' and she left.
.
With anger in the man's face, looking furious, he just kicked his car and Zoomed off without the wife knowing. And immediately, i just told my friend that we should act as though we don't know what happened if the woman comes out, so that she won't feel ashamed/mocked or more disappointed seeing us. So we turned and faced another direction were she cannot see us directly even if she comes out.
.
After some minutes, the wife hurriedly came out gorgeously dressed in her Native with her hand bag and gadget. Truly speaking she was looking beautiful. To her amazement, she didn't see her husband's car outside and she asked the little kids outside ''Where is my husband'' and they replied ''He don enter motor go''.
She was heartbroken, disappointed and angered etc. She stood for about 2minutes outside, looking in one direction, with a finger in her mouth as a drop of tears roll-down her eyes as i piped. I almost shared tears seeing her, i felt disappointed myself and bitter towards the man (i put myself in the woman's shoes that moment.)
She went back into the house and didn't go to the outing again.
.
Though there was no sign of quarrel between them before now because as the house is, you can hear from your own flat what is going on in the next flat, mostly if it involves shouting. And this couples got married since December 2013.
.
My question is:
Is it that the man cannot be a bit patient for his wife to look more beautiful or is it that the man is just being wicked to the woman because the thing got me thinking since yesterday.
