Since crude oil is natural why don't you add it to soup. God did not make everything for internal consumption so stop making weed sound nice
Oil dey your head, carry go..... We the true sons of Edo wants it SIMPLE!!!
This is serious. Na people like una na im make these living fossils still dey in business. So long as you still dey offer your head as coconut cracker for outdated polithieves like Osh'omo' ole, I doubt things will ever change much.
HIbreed: Christianity has done what Islam will never ever do when it comes to terrorism and killings .it just got reformed over time because the Europeans that invented got tired of it and it's nonsense.
The transatlantic slave trade was founded on Christianity. That's just one example of the evils of the religion and how it hurt and killed millions of people here in Africa.
Christianity did more worse in the 18th century and down.
I guess you do not know much about Christianity and its spread throughout the World.
In a bid to spread and convert people Christians killed millions of people.
Religion itself unleashes terror where ever it goes.
bros, Christianity was nnever a European invention. It started in the middle east, spread to every part of eEurope, got to Africa through an Ethiopian eunuch working under queen Candace of Ethiopia The Europeans only brought Roman Catholicismto aAfrica..
Many Nigerians are still very ignorant about 5g network. In fact, you have to do in dept rresearch on it to really know how it affects humans. No testing and pproper research has been done, so why the rush to launch it if not for ulterior motives

Brothers and sisters @ nairaland, this is not Gods punishment on humanity, not yet anyway. There's a time for that. This covid-19 is from the pit of hell and is a sign of worse tthings to come because the devil is not through with humanity. The only true protectionis in Christ Jesus, tthrough the Church. This is the right time to reconsider your stance on the Christian gospel of eternal life in Christ Jesus. This may be your only chance.
RiyadhGoddess: Ok so I have just shared this on a nairalander's thread where he complained of having cold and I thought I should also open a thread and share it to everyone out there who might be in the same shoes I was last week.
I understand that a lot of people are panicking now especially those with the coronavirus symptoms and are very much afraid to go check themselves because of all that is being said in the news or media. If you are in such situation, I will advise you to step out of panic, go to the nearest health center and get yourself tested instead of allowing panic take control of you.
Let me tell you all a story of what happened to me last week. I already shared it in my chat room though.
On monday while making arrangements for our TVC shoot, I all of a sudden fell ill. My temperature went up and I started feeling feverish. I quickly handed over to one of my team mate to oversee the work, then I left for the house.
On Tuesday, Wednesday I couldn't go out because I was too weak. Walking for 5 minutes became hell for me because I felt weak and dizzy when walking. I almost asked my whatsapp family what could be the cause of what's happening to me but I didn't want to create panic so I didn't. What I had in mind was malaria, or shortness of blood but my colleague checked me and said I have blood so I just concluded maybe I need to rest because I've been under stress lately.
Thursday we left Lagos for Abuja for our presentation. I was okay anyway. Friday morning I was fine too.
After presentation on Friday, my whole body system changed. My body was hot, I was feverish, having discomfort in the throat, headache and weakness. Each time it felt like I needed to clear my throat, I would cough mildly to avoid panic amongst my colleagues and everyone present. My close colleagues teased me about having coronavirus knowing that we had just had a presentation on the virus that Friday morning.
That Friday, I lost count of my urination because I kept on going to the convenience every 5 minutes to pee and that's because I drank lots of hot water due to the irritation I was having in my throat. I became worried but my colleague told me to calm down that my frequent urination was due to the cold conference room. His words helped a bit...
The more I read the media especially on Nairaland, the more fear gripped me and there was usually this cold chill in me. I remember reading a thread on Nairaland where a lady gave a vivid story of how she got the virus, symptoms and date. At a point while reading, I felt my whole legs going numb and almost had panic attack. The more I read the news that Friday night the more I shook with fear then this numb feelings in my whole body and felt like I was going to pass out. So I forced myself to stay away from the media.
One Aboki had coughed on me severally even though I turned my face away inside a korope bus, conductor had spat on me while shouting bus stops and asking for money, a passenger had placed her sweaty arm pit on me in a bid to bring out her money, a drug seller had washed his sweat with his finger on me after shouting and hustling his Ghana seed medicines at the populated motor park and of course not to forget, in the Okrika market where I do business, lots of body jamming and these Igbo boys pulling of hands mixed with all sorts of salivas from different mouths... All of these rang in my head which made me panic more. I began to ask myself, "Shile you didn't have HIV is it coronavirus that you will now have?"
That friday night before going to bed, I called my colleagues and asked could it be coronavirus? They all laughed obviously I must have said it in a very funny manner.
Anyway I picked my phone to chat my Daddy. I said "Dad I think I have the virus". My dad said which virus and I said coronavirus. My dad couldn't control his laughter. I told him see what is happening to me, he kept on laughing. They all believed my mind was playing pranks on me.
Then I understood what I have been reading on the media was beginning to have an effect on me to the point that it has now replaced the promises of God in my life.
I remembered the psalmist said "The Lord is my Shepherd...I shall fear no evil for you are with me, your rod and your staff comforts me..." I prayed to God to take control. Following day, my temperature was already reduced except for the weakness and I couldn't feel the discomfort in my throat.
We packed and left for the airport. During check, I was asked to step aside.
Obviously my temperature was high even though it feels warm to me but the thermometer detected it.
I was asked some questions upon questions in an office and my answers were NO. I have not come in contact with anyone who just arrived into the country whatsoever except for my public movements in Lagos.
The lady told me to isolate myself for 14 days for possible check and if there's anything, I should call the numbers given to me but by the time we were done, my colleagues had left me behind. I rescheduled and came back to Lagos. For the first time, I summoned all courage and shared my story in my chat room on Saturday to drive all fears out of me.
This morning I met my doctor, ran some test and discovered I have malaria and a bit of typhoid which I have started medications.
I want you to know that there are lots of voices out there. Please choose wisely! Please use wisdom when deciding who to listen to. It's not every voice that is dependable at this trying moment. Please pick a few dependable information sources and stick with them. For instance, the NCDC, WHO, LSMOH are excellent.
If the news or social media is noticeably increasing your anxiety like in my own case, please limit the number of times you go on social media to read information that increases panic in you. For me, I completely stopped reading information till I got hold of myself.
Anxiety will always ask for more information. It is greedy and never satisfied. Don't fall into its trap! Also remember the Bible reminds us not to be overwhelmed by what we see. Our God is still on the throne! After the war, the Israelites came to moses and said "we counted and NO ONE IS MISSING" Number 31:49. I pray for you, From NOW till this pandemic ends, NONE will be missing in your family, among your friends and loved ones in Jesus name Amen!
Stay Safe, Wash More & Panicless. Panic kills faster than the virus itself.
God Bless You. Shile.
Hahahaha kikikiki! Corophobia kills faster than the virus itself. Don't give in to panic. Just be careful, though.
God bless our darling Daddy President Muhammadu Buhari and his AMIABLE Vice President PROF YEMI OSINBAJO as they take our once battered country to a New and better Nigeria.
Nigeria will work once again.........We believe in her!
prowriterss: Paystack speakers reveal the red flags that keep prospective employers from hiring people.
Once a company puts out a job vacancy, their email boxes immediately get swamped with loads of Curriculum vitae (CV) or resumes .
A chat with the Human Resources team for Pulse.ng revealed that the hiring managers get an average of 50 per position they post.
These continue to come even after the position is filled.
As a result of the huge amount of CVs or resumes, the HR team has just a few seconds before deciding to either delete or keep them.
This is why it is important to avoid certain red flags.These were all revealed during a recent workshop hosted by Paystack at the ongoing Social Media Week in Lagos state.
The session - 'love-vendor My CV! How To Make Your Resume Standout' - offered a major insight into the mind of an employer and gave CV structuring tips.
Here are five unnecessary things you should never put on your CV according to the Paystack speakers, Kharis Izevbizua and Adebola Adeola.
Primary/ Secondary Education
For Izevbizua, the Product Specialist at the tech company, including details of your primary and secondary education is a waste of time. According to her, this is a space filler that irritates the hiring manager, adding that this will most likely cause them to stop reading and immediately delete your CV. The only time you should consider putting this on your CV is when you are applying for an internship.
References
Adding the numbers or email addresses is a waste of space and a waste of the company's time according to Paystack's Product Specialist. She recommends only offering this particular information when asked.
Irrelevant hobbies and interests
This is another no-no for Izevbizua. Unless the position requires it, there is no need telling your prospective employer how much you love dancing or singing.
Personal stuff
Once upon a time, it was totally okay to include your date of birth or age, marital status and religious preference.
Now, Adeola strongly warns against putting these on your CV or resume. His reason is that this is now considered as discriminatory. His advice is to simply avoid it except it is a specific job for a specified age. For instance, if a company needs an intern between the ages of 17–25.
Your picture
According to the guy in charge of Paystack's Projects, adding your picture is so not necessary. Admitting that he was once guilty of this particular CV crime, Adeola notes that is a space filler that should be forgone.
'Being handsome or pretty does not mean you have what it takes to do the job so why to add your picture', he notes. There you have it. Avoid these five things and you will definitely land your dream job.
Rapmoney: 'Heaven' is a fiction created by man to perpetually subject his fellow man to constant fear. Only the laws of the state could not do that; there was a need to create an imaginary abode to do that and thus, heaven.
But you are willing to believe that man evolved from apes? Your opinion though.
Cheato64: I have never cheated on her before and after marriage, just that I still have the phone number of my ex and we watched a movie Okafor's law together. She so much believe in that movie, now back to the trust issue
My guy what are you doing with ya ex? You are treading on forbidden ground
The Yoruba's should feel more of the heat because they betrayed Nigerians because of their brothers in the government. As for me, I'll sleep as much as I want.
Look at this self-serving, one-sided activist who was blind when it wasn't serving their interest. Oga, you and your family will protest alone.
In fact, my God will punish anyone that wants to destabilize a duly elected democratic government.
Protests will never take the place of the ballot. And the ballots have spoken. The courts have also spoken and like we say in Latin, "Vox populi, vox Dei"
It is Sai Baba till 2023.
But why do I feel this guy has compromised and is only acting out a script?
It does not add up. If I were in his shoes and managed to escape from the court...releasing a video will be the last thing on my mind unless I am compelled to by the ones I am running from.
No smart fugitive does that.
He does not even look reassuring, his speech delivery seems a bit coerced and not freely coming. Then how he gets up at the end of it tells a lot of stories.
It reminds me a lot about Tuface's infamous speech on his cancelled protest. The only thing both videos have in common is that they don't look voluntarily made.
Some pro APC nairalanders are buying into this mad scheme of third tenure even when the nation is groaning under the forced hardship imposed by PMB. Even animals have more sense.
