Christianity Etc › Re: Must A Believer Remember The Date He Or She Got Born Again? by Patented: 10:18am On May 24 |
cutecommend: Every true Born again Christian must remember the day and place he or she got born again, but may not remember the exact date. This can be true for the uneducated people that are elderly: they may remember the day, place and experience, but may not remember the date.
It is good to know the date, but it is compulsory to remember the day and the place, else, your salvation experience may not be true. You have to know the day you experienced salvation and the place.
Today is a day to be saved and to remember the date. Pray sincerely now and tell Jesus to forgive all your sins and come into your heart.
If you prayed such prayer today, you got born again today. Save the date, attend a good church, read your bible every day and pray everyday. It is important to be saved. The date is irrelevant. The remembrance is of sentimental value only. Live your life out daily in pursuit of God's purpose. |

Pets › Re: Chameleon Color Change After Bringing Home: Normal Or Warning Sign by Patented: 11:18am On May 08 |
hope you have a heat lamp installed? mgamelia: When I first brought my chameleon home, I noticed the same thing. Her colors looked dull one moment, then darker or patterned the next. I’ll be honest—it worried me at first.
But here’s what I’ve learned. Color change in chameleons is often their way of communicating, not a warning sign.
In your case, the pattern showing up when the room is quiet and she’s resting is actually pretty common. It usually means she feels safe enough to relax. I’ve seen this in underfed rescues too—once they start recovering, their color patterns become more noticeable.
That said, not all color changes are equal. Bright, calm tones during rest? That’s usually fine. But very dark colors all day, combined with lack of appetite or hiding, can point to stress or incorrect setup.
What Your Chameleon’s Colors Are Really Saying
From my experience, blue bars (especially in females or juveniles) can show mood shifts, mild alertness, or even environmental response like lighting changes. It’s not automatically a bad sign.
One small thing many people overlook is environment stability. Even quiet rooms can still feel “new” to them.
Example: I once moved a plant inside the enclosure, and my chameleon changed color for two days straight. Nothing else changed. Just that one detail.
So here’s what I recommend: Keep her routine stable. Avoid overhandling. Maintain proper lighting, hydration, and feeding.
If she’s eating, slowly gaining weight, and moving normally… you’re on the right track.
Honestly, this is one of those cases where doing less is often better. |
Romance › Re: What My Fiancee's Pastor Told Me The Day I Met Him. by Patented: 7:37pm On Mar 24 |
Toolegit123: Good day everyone.
So recently I've been thinking about marriage. Tho I'm in a relationship but the woman I've been dating doesn't really seem to have the same serious interest and intentions like me. I've talked to her severally but it seems she isn't ready to settle down yet. Imagine this is someone whom I've gone to see her people and they know me well. My own people know her too. I've equally talked to her mom since she's the one parent she has . And had also talked to her best friend about it too.
But one thing I've noticed about her is that she's over religious and seems to be too close to her pastor. The last time I talked to her about the marriage stuff,she directed me to go and talk to her pastor. Tho I was initially furious about it but I just had to man up,kill my pride and decided to pay her pastor a visit.
From the conversation I had with her pastor,it seems he's one of the major stumbling blocks. Because he was only curious about my financial status he was even asking me what was my source of livelihood,and of which I told him. Afterwards,he then asked me what was my monthly salary. Saying if I'm sure I can take care of my fiancee with that amount,or if I'm planning to have a side hustle. That he doesn't want a case where any of her spiritual daughter will go into a marriage where she'll be suffering. I told her categorically clear that I'm not a lazy man and I don't intend to put anyone's daughter into suffering in the name of marriage.
It's been over a week since I left the pastor's office, and since then,my fiancee has been behaving so cold towards me.
So I don't know whether to continue with my proposal or I should just kindly look for another lady to marry. Sounds like you are forcing the issue. Let it rest never marry someone who is not excited about the union. |

For most viral infection the drugs reduce your viral load by restricting thier capacity to reporduce and this allows you to live a good quality life. HIV anti-retriviral drugs are a life long commitment, meaning you keep taking them. for some your immune system may kick in and keep them at bay. Most "Toilet infections are bacterial in nature I beliebe) and not viral. i dont think there are many cases of transmission of viral infections from the toilet (this is not to assert that it is impossible) . the bacterial infections can be treated successfully with antibiotics although some of the infecting organisms have become super bugs, meaning they are resistant to a lot of antibiotics. this happens when we abuse antibiotics by taking them when not needed, taking them in inadequate doses or not completing the recommended treatment cycle. basically when we dont follow doctors orders. The coming back of STDs you mentioned is often from risky behaviour (eg sex without condom with multiple partners) the fact that you get treated today does not mean you will not catch the STD again if you encounter another infected persons. Sexual health is personal responsibility Love800: Wow.
Its like this is also the same thing with other STDs. The drugs just cure dem for a while and later the symptoms will arrive back.
Let me just say it gives you a short-relieve.
But i want to understand something. These infections, not all are gotten through sex. Some of them are toilet infections too. |

Feelings are fleeting. Una two suppose go see thrapist before una finalise divorce. cos most times na 2 people dey damage the marriage. letskeeptalking: I guess my real question is: knowing what you know now, would you make the same choice again?
I’m currently on the verge of divorce after 15 years of marriage and three kids.. Even though this is my decision, I feel like I have no real choice. My husband (if I can even call him that) says he doesn’t want to lose his family, but he does absolutely nothing to show it.
A lot has happened over the years, and it’s reached a point where I genuinely believe there is no future for us as a couple.
So I feel like I have two options: divorce him and move forward as a single mother… or stay, knowing I could never love him again.
I worry about my kids and how growing up with parents in a loveless marriage might shape their future relationships and choices. But then I also wonder, would they be better off growing up with a single mother?
I’m not concerned about stigma or even about finding another partner someday. Honestly, the way I feel right now, I’m ready to remain celibate for life.
If you’ve gone through this, can you please share your experience? Do you regret your choice? Looking back, would you make the same decision again? |
Family › Re: What My Married Ex Told Me. by Patented: 4:28pm On Feb 12 |
marriage is enjoyable. Just marry right sha!!! let the idealistic reasons for marriage be at least part of what made you marry and not just the aethetics and cash. Otherwise you will be part of those chatting up your ex and pouring out your pain. Toolegit123: Good day everyone here.
So lately I've been in contact with my ex girlfriend who's now supposedly a happy married woman, according to what I was told initially . Tho it on Whatsapp when I got a message from her,but I tried to be careful and mindful while conversing with her.
After a while,one thing led to another and I curiously asked her if she was really happy in her marriage. To my greatest surprise,she said NO,and she didn't even end it there. She said she regrets getting married to a man who's old enough to be her father. Mind you, she's in her late 20's while her husband seems to be in his early 60's. They've got a son together 
Well,I just told her plainly,that I shouldn't be the one she should be complaining to . I only asked her a simple and polar question,and she ended up pouring out all her pains and agony before me as if I was amongst her kinsmen that took bride price from her husband Because I could remember we were still dating when she left me for him, thinking everything that was glittering then was gold .
The funny thing was that it didn't end there, because ever since then,she has been on my neck,from one polite billing to the other. And to be honest,I don't want to and will never have anything to do with her . I'm even Planning to block her number if she wouldn't stop pestering my innocent single and not searching life 
Now,the real problem is that,for the past one week,her messages have been popping on my phone like steadily . And which has left me wondering and pondering , are married men not spending quality time with their wives ? 🤔. Is marriage not really enjoyable like those married folks makes us believe, especially on social media? Those of you who are married and happy in your marriages, please come in and give those us who are about to consider getting married in the future some tips on how to make a happy home.  |
Travel › Re: A Historical Look At Ibadan's Oldest Operating Hotels. by Patented: 10:29am On Feb 04 |
I used Kakanfo a lot a few years back. i liked it. Old yes but well maintained it had an almost rustic feel to it. I would to pick rooms that overlook the Town. Great view. BNLR: You will agree with me that hospitality business is one of the most profitable business in the world if well managed. A clear evidence of this argument is the numbers of hotel and other accomodation outlets you can find around you and still counting on a daily basis.
As a typical Ibadan boy and a hospitality practitioner with over 30 years experience in the industry. I can't stop imagine the secret of existence of some of the hotels in Ibadan that has been existing over the past 30 years in the city.
I know there is no other secret to any sustainable business more than good management and intangible assets that has been built over the years by the owner or the management. Interestingly, 95% of the hotel in Nigeria today are privately owned by individual or partnership. This argument again brought my attention to some of the oldest and active outlet in the second largest city in Africa.
Here are three to four hotels that are still keeping the legacy of hospitality in Ibadan over 30 years ago.
1. KAKANFO INN 2. HILLTOP TAVERN 3. DAVIES HOTEL 4. UI HOTEL
Unfortunately, Premier hotel is suppose to be on the list. While D'Rovas, Lafia Hotel, Green Springs, SEGELU are not active anymore. However I will like to receive more inputs on any information about oldest and active Hotel in Ibadan. |

Family › Re: My Nigerian Father Admitted He Has A Secret 9-Year-Old Son by Patented: 3:08pm On Dec 30, 2025*. Modified: 4:25pm On Dec 30, 2025 |
Marry a good kind person. infidelity and messing up in marriages knows no race nor gender. your Dad is your Dad do not superimpose his weaknesses on other men. be careful and delibrate about your spouse too. be good and kind to him. Oyinbogyal: I’m mixed and living abroad. My mother is European and my father is Nigerian. My parents separated over 10 years ago, but they never officially divorced — they were legally separated.
The separation happened because my father did something very serious to my mother. In Europe, you cannot be removed from the family home simply because of marital problems. A married person is only forced out by the courts if something very severe happens. That is all I can say for privacy reasons, but it’s important context.
About a year after they separated, my father started begging my mother to take him back. This wasn’t occasional — it went on for years. At the same time, he was involved with a Nigerian woman from his own tribe. Behind that Nigerian woman’s back, he was still pressuring my mother to reconcile. My mum refused, but he never stopped trying.
Fast-forward to December 2025. Even this year, my father again went to my mother and asked her to get back together with him.
Then on Christmas Day, he finally admitted — not to me, not to my mother, not to all of us directly — but to my youngest sister, that he has a 9-year-old son he has been hiding from everyone. He then made my sister pass the message on to the rest of us. He could not say it to our faces himself.
What shocked me most is that this child was born about a two years after my parents separated — meaning that all the years my father was begging my mother to reconcile, he already knew he had a child elsewhere. He deliberately never told her… bear in mind this child lives in the same country as us in Europe but he is just been hidden.
When I called him to confront him, he confirmed everything. He also said something that disturbed me deeply: that he feels no real affection for the child and that the boy will never replace his “real family,” meaning us. Hearing a man speak that way about his own biological child was horrifying.
This is a fully Nigerian boy, same tribe as my father. Knowing my father’s own childhood — where he suffered badly under a cruel stepmother — I would have thought he might see himself in that child. But instead, he has completely compartmentalised him.
Meanwhile, the child’s mother still wants to marry my father. From what I can see, he continues to keep her hopeful without fully committing, while still fantasising about getting back with his legal “European wife” who doesn’t want him. He seems to keep multiple realities open at once.
What made everything click for my mother — and for me — is this: If my mother had agreed to reconcile, my father could have moved back into the house legally as her husband. Because he would not repeat physical violence, she would have had no immediate way to remove him again via legal system/court. Only after securing his place back in the home could he then reveal that he had a child all along — effectively trapping her in a marriage built on deception.
That realisation is terrifying.
I also feel deep cultural dissonance. I told my father plainly: my mother is European. This kind of secrecy is not culturally acceptable where we live. It’s not “family affairs” or something to be normalised. Trust matters differently. Consent matters differently. So he cannot assume my mother will want him after hearing the news, she is not like the Nigerian ex you had a child with - in Nigeria it is normal for a woman to beg or wait for a man to marry you, in Europe it is shameful so he needs to stop thinking my mom will accept this.
This entire situation has destroyed my respect for him. I don’t feel anger as much as disgust and shame. I’m embarrassed to even explain this to my European friends. I feel like I’ve lost faith not just in him, but in my ability to trust what I thought were shared values.
I’m now engaged to marry a loving European man, and if I’m honest, this experience has made me afraid. Afraid of repeating cycles if I marry a Nigerian man. Afraid of normalising things I don’t believe in. I don’t reject my Nigerian heritage — I love the food, the music, the culture — but when it comes to marriage, honesty, and responsibility, I feel completely disconnected from what I’ve seen modeled.
Right now, I don’t even want to be around my father. I feel like something fundamental has collapsed, and I don’t know how to rebuild respect where trust no longer exists.
I’m sharing this here because I genuinely don’t know how to process it alone, and I want perspectives — especially from people who understand Nigerian family dynamics — without judgement. |
