Can we move this to front page so all will know what God has done. What a marvelous God. Big congratulations to all winner's chapel members. Next levels.

Pastor Kun....I didn't see where the Bishop was praised there. Only God is praised. It occurs to me you are still a novice in the world of power. Try and seek understanding and you will be surprised how little you know. You are too young rising against some men of God. Even the devil run at the mention of their names. I am sure you were one of the pple that castigated that man of God when the girl was kidnapped from church. What's your problem?

Hmmmm You must have a supreme being backing to fight and win your boss. If not then you must be reading 48 rules of power and following them in details. If Amaechi follows the first option he will win no matter what. If he follows d 2nd option, he just failed rule 1.

this is actually new but possible. if the op thinks this is her dream, Uboma why not leave her to achieve it. If you are not ready to help some other pple may be moved to help them. Blessed wedding you are blessed. But i would have advised you look more to God who created the institution of marriage. he will source the fund and all support you need. happy married life as you walk to the isle this Saturday. Hope you got all you needed for your marriage. may you find bliss in you union. Amen

brainzdh: There was this robbery, the robber shouted to everyone: "All don't move, money belongs to the state, life belongs to you".

Everyone in the bank laid down quietly.

This is called "Mind Changing Concept --> Changing the conventional way of thinking".
--------------- --------------- ----------
One lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her "Please be civilised! This is a robbery and not a rape!"

This is called "Being Professional --> Focus only on what you are trained to do!"
--------------- --------------- ----------
When the robbers got back, the younger robber (MBA trained) told the older robber (who is only primary school educated), "Big bro, let's count how much we got", the older robber rebutted and said, "You very stupid, so much money, how to count, tonight TV will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"

This is called "Experience --> nowadays experience is more important than paper qualifications! "
--------------- --------------- -----------
After the robbers left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. The supervisor says "Wait, wait, wait, let's put the 5 million naira we embezzled into the amount the robbers robbed".

This is called "Swim with the tide --> converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!"
--------------- --------------- -----------
The supervisor says "It will be good if there is a robbery every month".

This is called "Killing Boredom --> Happiness is most important."
--------------- --------------- -----------
The next day, TV news reported that 200 million naira was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count 20 million naira. The robbers were very angry and complained "We risked our lives and only took 20 million naira, the bank manager took 180 million naira with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief.

nice write up... but am not sure the story is true anyway.....I am sure Daura is not a big town and the banks there will not keep 50m each in their vault overnite. over estimation!

Don't know why I feel this when I meet a chinese. I just compare them with china products(Chinko) we see in Nigeria. As if the people are also fake. By thier fruits you shall know them. Am I alone here?

I wonder o. Am sure the guy must be a real Madrid/Ronaldo fan. Messi rules for now at 25. Ronaldo has not even come close to these awards and he is ageing.

Do you mean fifa helped him with all these medals?

Be encouraged.....start something and start with what you are talented in first. This has encouraged me to do something with my talents too. Who said I can't garner as many medals?

I have watched a lot of selfless individuals posted and analysed business ideas and how to do it here on Nairaland free. many of us have actually paid money to attend seminars and conferences like these before. That is kindness factorial. How then can we help and promote what some friends of the house have started based on the ideas shared by our friends here? Talking on behalf of new bloggers now. The best encouragement we can give new bloggers is for all of us to just click on their website. Do you know what traffick would have been generated at the end of the day. Meanwhile bloggers too should try and post beautiful, educative, inspirational and interesting stuffs on thier blog. Let this kindness go on....Sorry Seun, hope this is allowed here.(Am no blogger o)

I reckon this is why we have problems asking for help. You get more confused than you were before asking for help. Everyone tends to advise based on their experience which may not work for the next person or his environment. Wish someone would say this works for me and go on. I told someone I have flu often he asked me to eat more oranges. Oranges worsen my situation. Garri is even better. Meanwhile anoda class of pple will argue that out. It depends on what works where and for who. Op shd try what works for him or her.

Wow,Bravo! how come nobody commented on this. Whoever was involved in this did a good job. But I think the full Yoruba translation would have sounded better. nothwistanding that was a good job. Watching the original version was everly interesting cant wait to hear what Hakeem and (Semiu) would say in those funny scenes. (Se mr Latin wa nibe ni?)lol




(Opolo nta e!) heard this first time in my life

@op if you are in Jos town you are safe but if you are in Kaduna there are two things involved. It's either you are working in Kaduna north and living in Kaduna south. If you live in Kaduna south you are safe. If you work in Kaduna north there are two things involved. Either you are being protected by God whose direction you sought before going there or protected by the thought of having enough money to help you out in difficult situations. In any case ask God for directions. I served in Jos, believe me it was a great experience. I had d best of time.

How PDD can not be trusted. All these na carpet thing.

So many young people on nairaland. The pictures actually make you know the kind of people you relate with here. Every madness has its season. This shall soon pass.

Nice trip. Think you can do it like a documentary for a layman to understand what the wonders you came across on your trip are all about. Seems you are the only one enjoying the show. Tell us what some of those stuffs were designed to achieve and the benefits

Kzinne: u dont grab a chris rock or an eddie murphy? then u got a low iq

Guys with high IQ dont spit anyhow. Read d post very well it says 'a lot' names not mentioned. Why not make ur comment and pass without spewing ur caustic comment. besides when do pple start using high IQ to appreciate jokes?

When will Nigerians learn to admire and support one of our own. The guy has taken comedy to anoda level and also carrying a lot of up and coming comedians along. I have listened to a lot of western comedians and find it difficult to appreciate their jokes. Thumb up to Basketmouth, Alibaba, I go Die, Gordons, Bovi, Ay, I go save, Elenu, Teju Babyface, TeeA, Dan d Humorous, Jedi, SeyiLaw, Princess, and a host of others. Its not easy to be a creator even if you are talented and stand in front of pple to make them laff. Tried it a lot of times and was disappointed.

Polymer is used in Canada for the big notes. You hardly see old or faded ones anyway. Good to behold and nicer than the notes. Guess Nigeria is not ripe for its use cos of maintenance. Soludo meant well for its introduction except the Nigeria factor was not well considered.

@mod this wld fit fp.
These can happen anywhere else!
While some pple use the excess crude fund well on one side of the world, anoda set of pple on the other side chose to steal and transfer the cash abroad.

Thats a testimony bro. What about you?

I have heard of buyers wanting to buy your property or business by force. Now the case has reversed. Seller wanting to sell by force to a particular buyer. Hmmmm it's good to be rich and good at the same time.

[color=#770077][/color]One would say 'Even Balotelli' now he used all he's got in him to paint a picture of himself in the face of the world. Believe in yourself. He has always sought to be recognised, now He is. Congrats Balo....

Deliverance is here finally for the battered, the beaten and the oppressed and those under the illusion of female objects. I heard in a loud voice be delivered!

pipeewa: Great people! Have you ever had a dream of a beautiful future and business? Things you wanna do to make money, plans laid out yet it seems they will just continue to be dreams. I need visionaries to share with me(us) how you crossed from dreamland to reality. How did you start? How did you sell your dreams to people? What about discouragement and fear of your project not working? Great people kindly share with me.

Hey Friends, am sure there are visionaries among us who have crossed the borders of translating our dreams to reality..Kindly share with some of us who are at the verge of giving up on our dreams...Kindly share your testimony you could be a blessing to a soul.

don't be an evil genius in the making.....meanwhile let's book this flight here and come later to watch your progress. Wish you and your klepto groups all you deserve.
