MALIGNANTGuest: I have your money with me. It's certain! I'm coming up with a better way to disburse 300k. You and that TEACHER will surely come first. The Teacher initially messed it up. She will definitely get hers too.
Please sir kindly remember me when it's time. It will mean a lot to my family. Merry Christmas
jericco1: I feel disheartened reading all these things.
Didn't know things are this bad
It's really worse than you are reading here. People are suffering. It's even worse when you have little children looking up to you for their basic needs. I'm a living witness
Strongdickfresh: I spent roughly 1.9m on my nuclear family, extended family, loves ones, friends and well-wishers in the week of Christmas. Did you show love to anyone this festive season and how much did you spend on your family, friends and well-wishers? How did you cope and manage your Christmas Expenses?
So, last year, I was unable to give, as I broke pahhhh. But I thank God this year is better. We never reach, we still dey road tho, but better than before. I'll like to give 8 people either 500 airtime or to your account balance. Please, if you don't genuinely need this money, don't ask, so those who genuinely need it can't receive. First 10 people
Moonie911: I dont really have much to give but I know Nairaland have helped me in one way or the other. And instead of always saying "gimme gimme" Let me give out something today. It's not much but I hope favour locate me and I give more.
So 5h airtime to 4 people that quote me. If you are comfortable to drop your number and network
Carbon2Oxide Good morning sir. Compliments of the season. I saw a comment you made on my post on nairaland Christmas giveaway 2021 edition. You complained that I was asking for too much. Sir, you don't know me and what I'm passing through in taking care of my children. I'm in a serious financial need that's why it seems as if I'm begging everywhere there is giveaway. Would you rather prefer i 1. Steal 2. Sleep around with men 3. Kidnap and sell one of my pupils (I'm a teacher in a small private school) 4. Jump into the lagoon 5. Take a sniper 6.........the list is endless Kindly modify that post so that it will not discouraged who ever that feels like helping me. It will mean alot to me. God bless you and have a fantastic celebration. One love
udoji2021: I have been thinking slot about this topic lately, can adults be celebrating Christmas with kids?
What if you are someone who don't believe in all this religion stuffs?
I'm a someone who is not interested in religion any longer, I'm also poor hence I wanted to cut my expenses to the least minimum to avoid anything that will put pressure on me. The thing is, my wife is not taking it lightly with me that I must visit her parents and all that, our baby is 3months today and I see no need to be buying her new clothes cos she has others to wear. I also use to try and buy food for the house always hence I see no need to buy special food for Christmas. Who else is experiencing this?
And how can I go about this pls?
Christmas celebration is for everyone. It's the best holiday celebrated by millions of people. The best time to unwind, share gifts,catch-up and merry with loved ones. If you can, please visit your in-laws now that they are alive. As for your daughter, a little gift for her is not a bad idea
Explorers: North Koreans have been banned from laughing or drinking for 11 days to mark the tenth anniversary of former leader Kim Jong Il's death.
Government authorities have ordered the public to not show any signs of happiness while North Korea commemorates his death.
Kim Jong Il ruled North Korea from 1994 until his death in 2011, and was then succeeded by his third and youngest son, current leader Kim Jong Un.
Now, ten years after his death, North Koreans are being forced to observe the 11-day period of mourning where they are not allowed to laugh or drink alcohol.
'During the mourning period, we must not drink alcohol, laugh or engage in leisure activities,' a North Korean from the northeastern border city of Sinuiju told Radio Free Asia (RFA).

People gather at an event for the 10th anniversary of the death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il in Pyongyang, North Korea, on Wednesday.
At midday Friday, as a siren blared for three minutes, North Koreans across the country fell silent and bowed in respect for Kim Jong Il.
Fake breast, fake buttocks, fake complexion, etc. These things are not in your DNA and, therefore, cannot be transmitted to your children. What's the point really?
You are dark in complexion, your husband is dark, both your parents are dark, in fact dark complexion runs in your lineages, then you bleach your skin and still end up producing children with dark complexion.
How did people become so vain!
Pure, natural and unadulterated features are still the best. Features that a father or mother can pass on to his or her children are what should be celebrated and not fake, artificial features.
If your son or daughter cannot inherit that beauty because it is fake or artificial, should you be flaunting it?
What a world!
We, the saints, servants and messengers of Yahushua the Messiah, of YHVH Almighty, say no to fake or artificial lifestyles.
El Elohe Yahshrael! Hallelu YAH!
From my point of view, the major reason is low self esteem. We should know that we are wonderfully and fearfully made especially my gender
SonofIssachar: There is one Christmas Carol that has always baffled me – The Twelve Days of Christmas.
What in the world do leaping lords, French hens, swimming swans, and, especially, the partridge who won’t come out of the pear tree have to do with Christmas?
This week, I found out.
From 1558 until 1829, Roman Catholics in England were not permitted to practice their faith openly. Someone during that era wrote this carol as a catechism song for young Catholics.
It has two levels of meaning: the surface meaning plus a hidden meaning known only to members of their church. Each element in the carol has a code word for a religious reality which the children could remember.
1. The partridge in a pear tree was Jesus Christ. 2. Two turtle doves were the Old and New Testaments. 3. Three French hens stood for faith, hope and love. 4. The four calling birds were the four gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. 5. The five golden rings recalled the Torah or Law, the first five books of the Old Testament. 6. The six geese a-laying stood for the six days of creation. 7. Seven swans a-swimming represented the sevenfold gifts of the Holy Spirit–Prophesy, Serving, Teaching, Exhortation, Contribution, Leadership, and Mercy. 8. The eight maids a-milking were the eight beatitudes. 9. Nine ladies dancing were the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit–Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, and Self Control.
The ten lords a-leaping were the Ten Commandments. The eleven pipers piping stood for the eleven faithful disciples. The twelve drummers drumming symbolized the twelve points of belief in the Apostles’ Creed. This knowledge was shared with me and I found it interesting and enlightening. Now I know how that strange song became a Christmas Carol.
Have a Meaningful Yuletide Season!

TMSMedia: A retired Benue civil servant, Mrs Kwagh Hoo lost her two children, Viola and Kerhide within 24 hours, IgbereTV reports.
IgbereTV gathered that Viola died on Friday, December 17, at the Jos University Teaching Hospital after a protracted illness and was brought back to Mkar, Benue where the family resides.
After depositing his sister's corpse in the morgue same Friday, the father of one, who was to be sworn in as a deacon of NKST Jos Central on Sunday, decided to travel back to Plateau State where he worked.
The Senior Trade Promotions Officer at Nigerian Export Promotion Council, got involved in a motor accident around NYSC Orientation Camp in Wannune, the administrative headquarters of Tarka Local Government Area of Benue state on Saturday, December 18, and died on the spot.
The siblings will be laid to rest on Tuesday, December 28 at Tse Hoo, Mbaikyer in Konshisha Local Government Area of Benue.
HushNews: Reactions have followed a trending video of two Nigerian ladies seen cooking and pounding food inside a heavy flood in Lagos The two ladies appear to be members of a family whose residence is submerged by flood in an unnamed part of the state As the two ladies cooked and pounded absentmindedly, other voices could be heard from the background, but it is not known if the voices belonged to other members of the family.
At one end of the flooded area, another young lady could be seen pouring and mixing substances in a small soup pot placed on a tripod hearth. In other for the fire to glow, the hearth was placed on a tray. White smoke escaped from the hearth, signalling the presence of fire as the lady cooked absentmindedly. The lady was standing outside a small local kitchen which is partly submerged by water.
A small match-box house could be seen at one end of the flooded compound. Manly voices could be heard from the background, apparently of men waiting to eat the food the ladies were cooking inside the flood. It didn't appear as if anyone was worried by the flood, as the video showed people doing house chores as if it was normal to live inside flood water.
This is a no no. The ladies should consider their health . Dipping themselves into the flood is not hygienic. Moreover, during the pounding, dirty water can be splashing into the mortar
December festivities is almost upon us and so is it's blessings, love and merry cheer!
In years 2017, 2018 and 2019, we did something on the threads below, that not only touched lives, but brought joy to every individual that participated.
2020 was the COVID year so ummmm….
Moving on, we decided to do it on a yearly basis, so that we'd all have a reason or two to smile every Christmas.
Like explained in the threads above, all you have to do is come online and post pictures of things you'd like to give away and indicate your location so that an interested person could reach out.
You can give away things ranging from old clothes, shoes, devices, food ingredients, services, even books.
Nothing is too small or too big.
We would love EVERYONE to be a part of it and that's why we decided to start the awareness this early. So go to your bags, closets, shelves...bring out those items you don't need or no longer have use for, clean them up and take pictures of them to post and give out to those in need. And if you have no item to give, you could give out recharge cards, ebooks, cash gifts too are welcome. Everything counts and could be a blessing to someone out there. Please do not make it a collection thread.
THE DATE FOR THE GIVEAWAY IS DECEMBER 24th 2021 (TOMORROW) so you all have time to get your items ready to be given out. I’d also advise you follow this thread so as not to miss out on this.
