Religion / The Issue With New Year Resolutions by OneMarvee(f): 5:20am On Jan 02, 2022 |
First off, Happy new year dear humble Nairalanders. May 2022 favour us all. While it is absolutely necessary and in fact beneficial to have goals and aspirations lined up for the new year, the approach is sometimes unrealistic. The overzealousness is unmatched! How do plan to do something for 365 days when you never even tried for 3 days. Rather than trying to quit smoking or pornography or build a whole new habit in 2022. Why not start by trying new week resolutions, make a very short plan, write goals for the week, then try for a month and then progress onward, now that sounds doable to me. It’s 2022, lets be true to ourselves and make daily/weekly intentional efforts to better our lives. Godspeed.

Romance / The Dating Experience Of Nigerian Ladies In Canada by OneMarvee(f): 2:11pm On Jan 01, 2022 |
Occasionally we have heard Nigerians abroad emphasize the loneliness that abounds in the diaspora. But what is the Canadian experience for single Nigerians? How do you compete in the international dating pool? Canada can be very lonesome for Nigeran singles…especially the ladies. In 2014, user data on OkCupid showed that most men on the site rated black women as less attractive than women of other races and ethnicities. The shock value that presents itself can be quite appalling, you were once a queen in your home town and suitors came unprovoked. Watching some YouTube videos of our single ladies in the diaspora, these were common “If you have a spouse in Nigeria, stick with him”, “You have to be intentional about dating”, “Nobody will toast you”. You could almost see through their eyes, completely taken aback, reminiscing the quintessential Nigerian scenario of -guy approaches girl, toasts and cajoles, collects phone number, happily ever after... Good memories but that’s not happening again, not anymore. Welcome to a new dispensation 6 Likes

Business / Re: Establishing a Fruits & smoothies Retail shop In Nigeria. by OneMarvee(f): 8:08pm On Dec 27, 2021 |
A huge thanks to everyone who read, offered ideas and insights to this post. I am once again revisiting this long awaited idea of mine, this time I would love to discuss the benefits that this idea will be bringing to the Nigerian ecosystem. Firstly I mentioned the primary goal of this business, which to create an eco-friendly yet consumer receptive model. E.g use of jars, multi-use plastic wares, and generally packaging materials that are sustainable. Fruit businesses can be hard, due to transportation, spoilage, waste etc. Location is also a key component and finding a medium to increase the shelf life of these fruits requires good management practices. What advise would you give in terms of executing this business? Is it sustainable, would you stop by a shop that sells precut fruits and blended smoothies at Shoprite? Would you invest in such business? All thoughts and advices are appreciated. Thank you! OneMarvee: 1 Like 1 Share |

Setting foot on the almighty guardian of the maple leaf, Canada! a dream come true. The airport chronicles, settling down, touching snow for the first time, trying hard to sound Canadian, repeating yourself, finding fun things to do, your first job on campus, video calls from friends back home, mamas prayers, aesthetically pleasing JPEGs for the gram, shopping for your winter clothing, navigating the education system, meeting new people, spending in $$, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!

Religion / Giving Tithes To The Church Or To The Poor? What Is Your Standpoint? by OneMarvee(f): 3:27pm On Oct 03, 2021 |
This is an age old debate and I have not found a concrete reply. Many people argue that the church is rich already and so instead of further enriching the church, it is best to "tithe to the poor" . Personally, my church hardly does street outreach in terms of giving or blessing the community, it is always evangelism. So I am on the side of giving to the less priviledged around you. But Leviticus 27:30 says, “A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the Lord: it is holy to the Lord.” These gifts were a reminder that everything belonged to God and a portion was given back to God to thank him for what they had received. Does giving back to God neccesarily mean giving to the church? Is giving directly to the church any different from giving to the poor in your community? I will let the bible scholars and free thinkers of NL sort this one out. I am open to discussions and diverse opinions. T for Thanks |

Business / Establishing a Fruits & smoothies Retail shop In Nigeria. by OneMarvee(f): 8:05pm On Oct 02, 2021 |
Dear Business gurus of Nairaland, My Friend and I are brainstorming the idea of a Pre-cut fruits/veggies retail shop in Nigeria, preferably in Malls. From observation, most retail shops in malls are fast food restaurants like KFC, Mr Biggs, Chicken Republic, Cold-stone. There really isn't a physical retail business in Malls that cater towards sales of ready-to-eat fruit and vegetables, not much opportunites for consumers to eat healthy. Our business aims to create more healthy fruit and veggies assortment options for customers in high foot traffic areas. Our model in quite different because we are not "pre-packaging" them and letting them sit in a plastic container. We want to cut and sell as the consumer makes their order. Now the low shelf life of fruits and veggies is an obvious disadvantage but we are still working on this. We also plan on taking an eco-friendly approach during sales, i.e less single-use plastics, we are looking for environmentally friendly yet consumer receptive options. We are very optimistic and we would love to hear your input. Also we would love to know if anyone here would buy from a pre-cut fruit shop. And if any business experts have any advice for us. Thank you For lack of better pictures on google, this is the sales model of the business but ofcourse, less plastics, more hygenicenvironment and aesthetically pleasing 2 Likes 1 Share

Religion / Dreamt About Seeing Toads In My Wardrobe? Any Spiritual Meaning Or Significance? by OneMarvee(f): 8:47pm On Aug 20, 2021 |
Hi Dream Interpreters, I had a strange dream last night where i opened my wardrobe and on the last shelf, I saw a toad, brown and small. I was scared and screamed. Then the toad started jumping off and went into a corner, as I raised a clothe off to see where it had gone, I saw about 3-4 more. One of them was quite big. I do not really know what this means because toads are usually found in swampy areas, OUTSIDE. I heard "seeing an animal" in a dream could mean something, depending on what type. I have tried to think it through but nothing. Can anyone please try to interprete? Thank you |

Religion / Re: God's Will Vs Heart Desire. Christians Discuss by OneMarvee(f): 10:45am On Aug 10, 2021 |
You sound pretty confused. I am not implying that we should solely surround our prayers or requests on God's plan for us (Which we know very little of). What I am asking is that, are we aware that God's agenda for us might be totally different from our heart desires? Do we put that into consideration when we feel like something is not working for us or have unanswered prayers? That's what am simply saying. Kobojunkie: |
Religion / God's Will Vs Heart Desire. Christians Discuss by OneMarvee(f): 12:42am On Aug 09, 2021 |
Isaiah 55:8 explains that God's ways are quite different from ours, further down the new testament, we are encouraged to trust in God and not lean on our own understanding. But many times we always pray that God grants our wishes and heart desires, we ask for all the thing we can think of. I always wonder, do Christians realize God's plan might be different from our personal agendas? No matter how good or promising they might appear. How many times do we purposefully pray for God's will to be done in our lives? Now this is not to juxtapose seeking the face of God for something crucial or extremely personal, I am talking in generic terms. Are we willing to know about God's plan and promises for us as in Jeremiah 29:11? Or we are swallowed by our wants, desires and aspirations? Shower thoughts with One Marvee- E1S8 3 Likes 1 Share |
Health / When Will Nigerians Start To Prioritize Health Checkups? by OneMarvee(f): 7:38am On Aug 04, 2021 |
Many times, we hear a sad news, a brief illness, a heart attack, a kidney disease, cancer.... suddenly.....gone too soon We mourn and mourn, but then we "move". Nobody talks about regular health checkups, we are not informed about how illnesses and diseases can be cured, treated or managed if discovered early. Everyone resorts to "we will all die one day" True but let us learn to take care ourselves. What good is it to die a death that could have been avoided? Are we that nonchalant in Nigeria? How often do you visit the hospital for a checkup? Let's hear you Shower thoughts with OneMarvee- S1E7 1 Like |

Religion / Christians Who Don't Believe In Afterlife. What Happens After Death? by OneMarvee(f): 12:54pm On Jul 29, 2021 |
After having a lengthy biblical discussion with a friend of mine about Death, Heaven and Hell, my beliefs were shaken a bit. All my life, I always believed that when a person dies, judgement follows immediately and they either go to Heaven or Hell. I have watched several gospel movies and YouTube videos that stressed this same fact but alas, it is not quite what it is. My friend, who is a solid Christian, goes to church, prays often, reads the bible, pay tithe but does not believe in the existence of Heaven and Hell as an afterlife destination, he says " if at all, God resides in heaven, and the Devil resides in Hell, that's all. When we die, we seize to exist, we know nothing, we do not even recognize that we are dead. " I read an article that said "When we stop breathing, our breath doesn’t go anywhere. It just stops. So too the “soul” doesn’t continue on outside the body, subject to postmortem pleasure or pain. It doesn’t exist any longer. It added that nothing could make an afterlife existence sweet, since there was no life at all, and thus no family, friends, conversations, food, drink – no communion even with God. I am still sitting on the fence of this topic, but there is something else about we Christians only focusing on life after death, doing everything righteous just to "Go to heaven" and not because we actually want to do it. Pastors hardly preach about helping each other and making your time on earth purposeful. It is all about "leaving this sinful world" I will like to know your thought on this.

I see what you mean. I remember the Fintech buzz on Twitter few months ago. I was really excited for "Nigeria to the world" but I really hoped it wasn't a bubble set to burst. I think Paystack's exit last year made Fintech appear as a goldmine for foreign investors(could be). Let's not forget Africa has a billion people and we are just developing, access to internet is getting cheaper, mobile phones too. I have high hopes too but It's quite understandable why people would think you are hating. SocialJustice: 1 Like |
