HELP ME GET A JOB

I was born and bred in Lagos Nigeria. i am over 30 but swimming in poverty. i attended a university in Ogun state but i dropped out due to the loss of my mother who happened to be my sponsor back then. My father died before i was 4years old so i had no one to fall back on. I am the only child and life has been so cruel to me. I have no job at hand. My fathers family has taken possession of his property at Agege Lagos because they insist my mother had me for another man due to stories i'm hearing for the first time since my parent's demise. The story of my life is so wide, bitter and depressing. The moral of my epistle is that i need a casual job to survive. I am contemplating suicide at the moment and i almost drank sniper insecticide today. This is my last attempt at survival before i do the needful on my existence. Nairalanders please help me find any legal job be it unskilled labour. I have tried and tried but to no avail. Pardon me for been incoherent. I am a depressed soul waiting to see if my life can have a second chance.

This is not fraud nor scam. if you really want to know how real my story is kindly send me a private message.

My friend, I pity your situation but there is one fact I want you to realise that SUICIDE is not the way out if you want rest for your soul but it is a SHORT-CUT to HELL Fire. The Bible says yhere is hope for the living. Keep on struggling, it is sign that you have not been defeated but if you give up then it is over!

The firts step out the,miry clay is to surrender your life yo Jesus Christ and the rest shall fall in place. You can try your hands on many things and one day God will make way for you. He is a way maker. You can do manthings to keep yoir body and soul together, be prayerful and live a life of holiness

The Second step is to realise there is dignity in labour, take on menial jobs like assisting the bricklayers, house chores for people who can pay you etc, since you have no certificate, gradually if you are really serious about life, you can save money to buy Okada and from there move to something big. Rome was not built in a day. If you are not cut for hard works like I mentioned above, learn how to ride a motorcycle and get Okada to ride from the owners untill you are able to buy your own. However in all these you are expected yo be honest and favour will smile on you. Go and study the life of Joseph in the Bible. Therefore suicide is not the way but only will help to hasten your journey to hell. Be grateful to live and live to conquer. More grace to you in Jesus name, amen

It's too late to pray for the dead, pray for the living to shun living in sin. It has been given for a man to die once and after this judgement. May God console the parents and siblings, amen.

Business / Re: My FOREX My PHILOSOPHIES by Opengates(m): 2:11pm On Oct 14, 2015
Hatizonal123 & Fembiz: Both of you are right with your philosophies. Although in the area of ratio 1: 1 trading, there are some trading systems that can only work with that ratio otherwise the trader will smell pepper. It also boils down to how you have masterfully mastered your Trading system. I can say this because my primary job is expert advisor developments, so you can see that we work with and have seen different types of trading systems at work.

Therefore, my candid advice to all forex traders is to take time studying ypur trading system once you discover that yoi are feeling at h;ome with it. Ypu can improve with lots of patience, self-discipline and determination. The time you spent in testing your trading system to master it with demo account is not wasted, after you have developed confidence that you can now make money with it, start real live trading but start small first until your confidence rises.

God bless all, we shall make it in Jesus name

Religion / Re: The Bible Justified It That A Women Can Go To Church With Her Hair Uncovered! by Opengates(m): 2:26pm On Sep 06, 2015
booqee:

even if i were to analyse with vs 1-14:
it says christ is head over man, and so if he covers his head, he dishonors christ, the man is head over d woman, but if she does not cover her head, she dishonors her husband. In other words, a single lady like me who is not married MAY NOT cover her head, because she's got no husband to dishonor, and so therefore she has not committed any sin.
~and even dis 'uncovered hair' i've been mentioning implies a shaven head, so A married woman cannot shave head hair.
~to know dat d hair is d covering, and the uncovered head is d shaven one, vs 6 says if a woman would not have her covered(doesn't want to have hairs on her head), she should shave it, but because shaving it is a shame then she should leave it and have her head covered(with her hair).
~and yet, i believe all this law still only applies to d married women, as woman used here means a married woman' just like joagbaje said.

Jesus Christ is your husband, why dishonouring Him?
Romance / Re: Guys, What Is The Worst That Can Happen From Staying Without Sex? by Opengates(m): 10:07am On Aug 31, 2015
deflover:
truth be told God didnt design us to wait for so long to have sex....the world through the clever systems of the devil made it so....all over the bible i see places where the bible speaks about a young lad as the right age to get married....the young lad by definition is around the age of seventeen years old....
By this age a man would be earning income either by farming...business...taking care of folks....or whatever trade he has learnt so as to be able to start a family...
Even in our culture a young lad too is within the age this age of seventeen would have had his wife too.....

because of the world's systems a young lad is just leaving secondary school and preparing to go to univsersity or not even able to know his right from his left on which way he should go...

biologically our bodies are responding to this urge to have sex and be productive thats why we have wet dreams while the woman begins to have burning feelings to be with a man at that age....

so its a hard one and i can understand your take.....all you need to do is pray and think how best you can help him....he has tested it and trust me its so sweet for a young man.....

with all the music videos on air.....adverts of sexy ladies on tv......peer pressure.....only God will save our souls wink wink wink wink

Why bringing God and Bible into this when your contributions do not wholly support what God commanded? The pages of the Bible is clearly clear to read for those who are wise and will not believe biology above the word of God. Its a pity. You have been quoted by an unbeliever. Who should know better?

Business / Bank Fraudster' New Style Of Defrauding Innocents! A Must Read! by Opengates(m): 2:18am On Aug 21, 2015
I received this on my Whatsapp yesternight, when I read through, I felt I should let you people know about this to save you of pain, loss and agony that may accompany it if you fall victim. Please read on:

Please read this carefully, it may save you a few hundred, or a few thousand, or may be a few million bucks. It's a personal experience, a true event that happened this afternoon. I am Sunday Adewole, I just fell victim of fraudsters a few hours ago. I am an account holder with StanbicIBTC bank, I am trying to put fund together to pay for my daughter's tuition fee in CU in which case the institution already resumed last week. Yesterday afternoon, I got a call from somebody purportedly from StanbicIBTC who said "Am I speaking with Dr. Adewole" (called out my other names) to which I answered in the affirmative. He said he called in respect of my BVN which I was observed not to have done, I replied that I already had it done with Skye bank and he said the bank will send me a link so that my account with Stanbic will be linked with the BVN. True to our conversation, I receive a message from StanbicIBTC in which an OTP was sent to my phone. A few minutes later, he called to ask if I got the the SMS, I told him yes but I can't do anything about it cos I was driving. He said no problem I should call out the numbers which I did and he thanked me for my cooperation in a customer service manner. I heard nothing since then till this afternoon at precisely 13:00 hrs when I received a SMS from StanbicIBTC informing me of a debit transaction which cleared my account to the lowest thousand, i.e. I was left with a paltry N685 (six hundred and eighty five naira). I called my account officer who confirmed to me that I have fallen victim of fraudsters and he checked up on my account and saw that the recipient acct is in First Bank. My puzzle is how did they get my account details? How were they able to generate an OTP to my phone. I am waiting to see what my bank would do on it. In the mean time, please be aware of what the 419 people can do. I'll keep you posted on any new development. Pls beware many more fraudsters are out there to fleece you of your hard earned money o

shdemidemi:
Most MOGs make more mess of Christianity than good.people stigmatise Christians as people that can't go wrong. Therefore more sins are committed in secrecy to live up to the Christian status.
Thesame way they wanted to kill the adulterous woman in the Bible. Christ loves that sinner more than you that is righteous. He told them if you have not sinned,cast the first stone.

Being a Christian is a walk, a movement that gets better and better through studying and understanding the scriptures, never an instantaneous change but a gradual edification of the spirit that reflects in the physical.

Are you insuniating that this one pne you see on the picture is supposed to be a christian model for the world to copy? If at all you are a christian, you need to be checked very well. Pity.
Religion / Re: Revealed: The Bible Says God Did Not Create Man. by Opengates(m): 4:45pm On Jul 23, 2015
enilove:
Let us "create" man in our image is not d same as let us "recreate" man in our image...

Replenish in the Merriam Webster dictionary means
"to fill with persons or animal ,to supply fully."

The above is definitions shows that "replenish" can also mean to "fill" as well as to "refill".

Let "us" make man in our image truly means God was communicating with someone. This can be explained in
Proverbs 8:22-36 KJV
The Lord possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old. [23] I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. [24] When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. [25] Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: [26] While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. [27] When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: [28] When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: [29] When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: [30] Then I was by him, as one brought up with him : and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; [31] Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. [32] Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep my ways. [33] Hear instruction, and be wise, and refuse it not. [34] Blessed is the man that heareth me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. [35] For whoso findeth me findeth life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord . [36] But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: all they that hate me love death.

God was talking with the Lord Jesus Christ .

So,in what way did the Bible say God did not create man?

As time goes on,the foolishness of some people will manifest into making them to say that the set of chairs in their homes were not manufactured by any one .

Thank you, you are blessed. Ni ikehin ojo, a o maari orisirisi OLUKO EKE LATI IJOBA ORUN APADI, Obviously, this is one of such. BEWARE READERS!

Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor has certainly had a difficult few months at Tottenham Hotspur, recently revealing some crazy stories about his family on his Facebook page.

In May, Tottenham gave the player time off due to concerns over his mental health.

With his future currently unclear, the former Arsenal and Manchester City forward was today filmed converting to Islam.

In the video above Emmanuel Adebayor is filmed taking the Shahada (the Islamic creed declaring belief in the oneness of God and the acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet).

Once of the Christian faith, Adebayor appears to be trying to put his family and their history behind him.

Romance / Re: Before You Decide To Abstain From Sex Till Marriage by Opengates(m): 4:37pm On Jul 06, 2015
Ontarget:
Some righteous or church people on this forum wouldn't stop pushing us to abstain from sex till marriage. They always give reasons like: It is a sin and the bible says so so and so. But they wouldn't tell us how to overcome the challenges that comes with abstaining till marriage these days. I agree that sex after marriage is the best solution to curb STDs and unwanted pregnancies but achieving such in the midst of some resisting factors appears to be an uphill task.

Apart from the sexual urges we have to deal with all through the period of abstaining we seem to forget to ask ourselves a certain question. And the question is: WHEN WILL YOU GET MARRIED AND FINALLY HAVE THAT SEX? Marriage in a country like Naija doesn't come cheap especially for the guys. The guys are expected to have a fat bank account first before thinking of marriage. Unfortunately some guys will be unlucky to get that kind of fat bank account at age 45 no matter how hard they have worked. Some ladies will clock 45 and still no signs of a husband coming close. If we must abstain from sex till marriage are we really going to abstain till old age if conditions are not favourable to get marriage? Is there a maximum limit to wait? What happens if you will never get married due to bad luck? Does it mean you will abstain from sex till death? If actually it was CERTAIN that everybody would be getting married at about 25 years old then it would make valid sense for people to wait till marriage.

Secondly, I think insisting on sex till marriage can cause another issue that most of us don't even think about. Due to the excitement of having sex for the first time and all that urge, someone who has been abstaining from sex can easily be tempted and decide to get married unprepared just to have sex to know how it feels. The outcome of this is that marriage crashes due to this unreadiness and kids will be brought to the world to suffer especially when the couple weren't financially ready. I have come across some folks here advising people to get married rather than have sex before marriage. Is it better to get married because of sex and the marriage crashes soon afterwards or is better to have PROTECTED sex before marriage and avoid the suffering a collapsed marriage? If you feel sex before marriage will take you to hell then it means everyone on this planet will end up in hell cos we are all sinning in different ways.

Contributions please.

Is sex d priority of life to u? You sound as if something bad and urgent would happen to you if you don't have sex before you die. Why risking what you will regret till the end of your life when you can safely wait to have abundance and unlimited of it after you are married. Why sounding so urgent to flaut the law of the Almighty God because of your incontinencies and wayward life while excusing your indulgencies. The most pathetic of this story is that some guys/gals would fall for this devilish campaign while disguishing as if you are sounding reasonable. Better read: Ecclessiastes Chapter 11 vs 9,10 to know what waits you and others like you at the end. I pity you and your fans. May God have mercy on you.

If God really destined d girl to marry a doctor, belive me, it will come to pass. Divourcin ur husband/wife to fufill Gods purpose is laffable.

My dear, sometimes concerning prophecy fulfilment, you have a role to play. God cannot force her to wait for the fulfilment of this prophecy, she made her choice even though she already knew the mind of God. Impatience was her bane but I pray she receives grace to live happily come what may, in her choiced marriage. God does not force anyone to do His will. Prophecy is not an automated machine that will force your life in its own direction if you choose to do it your own way. May God open your understanding concerning the scriptures. Amen IJMN
