hey,that's rude.

My bad dear. Just all these don't prove nada. You either do a sonogram or wait till delivery. How does one even measure craving? Lol

jamale:
There are some ways to predict (with about 50 percent accuracy) the sex of your baby if you can’t readily afford an ultrascan. An ultrasound at 18-20 weeks along can usually give you the information you crave, but five months is a long time to wait for some. So , here they are.

WARNING: These tips might be hard to believe if you are a cynic but some of these tips have high success rates: If you want to be 100 percent positive, then you have to wait until your baby is born.

1. The wedding ring test

Hang your wedding ring on the string and dangle it over your pregnant belly. Then watch how it swings. If it swings from side-to-side like a pendulum, then you are most likely carrying a baby boy. If it swings in a circular motion then you are probably expecting a baby girl.


2. Morning sickness
If you are extremely ill during the first few months of your pregnancy, chances are you are having a little girl. Expectant mothers will have morning sickness while pregnant with boys too, of course, but extreme sickness early on is an indicator that it is time for you to stock up on the pink clothes.

3. Feel yourself up
Pregnancy involves a lot of boob changes, and yet another old wives’ tale says those growing milkers can clue you in to gender. Grab hold of your breasts and see which one feels bigger. A larger left breast supposedly means boy; a larger right one a girl. Want to make this test more fun? Ask your partner to do it for you!

4. Food cravings

Again, cravings will be cravings and they are unpredictable, but as a general rule of thumb, if you are craving sweets, then a girl is on her way. Salty cravings indicate a little boy is growing inside you.

5. The bi-carb test.
Just when you thought you’d done enough peeing on things, comes the bi-carb test. It has to do with the acidity (or lack there of) in a pregnant woman’s urine. Basically, you pee in a cup (you should be familiar with that) and add a tablespoon of bi-carb soda to it. If the mixture starts to fizz, you’re having a boy. If there is no fizz, girl! I confess to doing this one with my current pregnancy. I was told I was having a girl, and it was right.

SMH. You need help.

This still happens after all the Black Lives Matter Hastags? I give up on social media activists.

mikeweezy:
Your message maybe right but the way you present or the medium or words or maybe ur presentation was just rude or...............

No worse disability, than knowing what to say but not how to say it.

Campaign don start. Road to 2019 Elections.

madridguy:
Both the the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) and Department of State Services (DSS) have failed Nigerians and God alone will judge you all. You released many top terrorists that took our gallant men months to capture and also compensate them with billions of naira.

You people should continue encouraging them by giving them large amount of funds to buy more weapons and recruiting more members at the detriment of our soldiers fighting with AK 47.

It's all Politics as usual.
Like you said only God will judge them.
But coming elections it's our responsibility to judge them by voting their Cabal out of all the seats of power.

The Hausa tribe has monopolised the ruling of this Multi-tribal nation for far too long. It's unfortunate that all the arms of government, military, and Ministries have become insidiously overturned by Hausas.
The only solution to salvage what's left of this havoc wreaked nation is to Overrun the Hausa Supremacy that has subtly overtaken the nation.
While the rest of us were busy playing ludo (business, education and lower politics), they were playing a game of chess and monopoly with the Leadership of the Country.

The onus now rests on us. Do we sit back and watch them continue to Mismanage the country and worse still Oppress the rest of the nation with their various divisive political devices? No, this coming elections, we have to be Decisive.

No more supporting the North. They've failed Nigeria. They've embezzled all our Common Wealth. Worse still they've robbed us and rubbed it on all our faces for far too long.

Let's all (Southerners, East, West, Middle Belt) Unite and Vote out Northerners at least for the next 16 years (4 terms). The results would be Unimaginable and the achievement Astronomical.
Just imagine this country being run by Educated, Business-minded Nigerians for Once. Just the thought alone brings hope.

MhizzAJ:
This one weak me
But she's worth it
See the way her skin is glowing
Hair and makeup on fleek
If you no get money hide your face
Broke men don suffa

OK she's worth it, we agree(sort of) But the only problem here is how is she managing to survive before Mr 5M monthly allowance cruises into her life?

Hope she's able to afford her bleaching cream for next month?
Has she eaten breakfast today? Hope it's not roasted yam?

Dear Slay Queen Wonnabes, Men are not Poverty Alleviation Schemes. FOH.

Hapigirlxoxo:
I guess that's why you always want things to be done your own way, disturbing the peace of the country.

Leave and see whether it will survive or not.

Let them even vex and try us. Atleast they've embezzled more than enough to feed their 10 future generations. Barawo banza shege. (I curse them in their language)
This North supremacy we've condoned for too long ends this coming election.

No I'm not a tribalist, just anti-northern supremacy..

I still can't believe how this guy manages to stay scandal free. Even in marriage. Must be a very smart guy.

Confam.
But OP you wicked oh. That second pic should come with a warning. I forgot everything I read.

Confam.

Hofbrauhaus:
Now that evil sadists have been put to shame, shouldn't they apologize to the apostle?

They didn't even go to court sef...Tufiakwa!

Useless Devilish bastardxx

I don't like commenting on issues of supposed men of God but I must point out some inconsistencies and contradictions on his part.

Did he not claim initially not to have heard about the scandal or even known about her live on his pulpit? Now he says his wife brought his attention to it.

The problem with telling a lie, you need 1000 more lies to cover up.

deafeyez:
I don't know about any of you. This is not to discourage anyone. But if there is any book I look vague but it is at my domain, it is the Holy Bible.
I can't just read it. Even when I open it, I can't put those chapters in my head.
Don't quote me wrong, this also affect my academic performance as the same fate falls but I go to church why can't I read the Bible.

God save my soul.

It's perfectly understandable. Try to be in God's fellowship more, the rest will happen.
I don't preach church so try to be sure it's a good place of worship where the Mighty name of Jesus is proclaimed. You'll know by their message. Just make sure it's somewhere you're comfortable going.

Trust me, you opening the Bible at all is your spirit yearning to connect with God.
You can contact me if you want to share more.

IbnIbrahim:
1. Because risk terrifies them.

It’s a risk to go somewhere else — “What if it’s even worse?” It’s a risk to try something new. It’s a risk to leave wherever you are and go somewhere else.

2. Because learning something new is hard.
It’s so sad and yet so true.
Most people don’t leave their jobs simply because the thought of having to learn a new process, a new skill set, a new anything is terrifying and exhausting to them.
What a sad way to live.

3[b]. Because they love “the golden handcuffs.”[/b]

One of the greatest double-edged swords of high paying corporate America is what’s called “living with golden handcuffs.”
Your salary is so good, your benefits are so good, your retirement plan is so good, everything is so good that you’re willing to sit in a cubicle hating your life for 8 hours a day simply because, on paper, you’re “living the life.”

4. Because they secretly love to complain.

Another sad truth, but some people love to be miserable.
They find enjoyment in showing up to work and uttering the phrase, “I hate Mondays.” They have learned to love their misery — and as much as they talk about leaving, they never will.


5. Because it would disappoint their parents.

Some of the most talented people end up working jobs they despise simply because they don’t want to disappoint their parents. Or their family. Or their friends. Or anyone else.
So who are you living for, then? Them?

6. Because they’ve overextended themselves.

It’s amazing how much people prioritize having “things” before they have established the lifestyle they want.
They get a job they don’t love, but pays pretty well, and before they know it they’ve got an expensive car payment, high rent, and an expensive lifestyle from which they can’t escape. They want to do something else, but by now they’ve accumulated too much overhead.
And a shift in lifestyle is unthinkable to them.

7. Because they like their “title.”

These people stay with their undesirable job simply because of the title they have.
They would rather be the Vice President of Boring than be seen as someone who is “trying to make their dreams happen.” Because that road is harder, and isn’t about titles at all — and for a lot of people, that’s too much for their ego to bear.

8. Because they have responsibilities now.

They have a wife, three kids, a mortgage, college funds to save for, etc.
By now in their career, they can’t make the move to something else. They’ve crossed the threshold and have decided, “You know what, this is where I am, and that’s that.”
They’re comfortable, and so they stay.

9. Because they fear being wrong.
Or worse, they fear rejection
They care a lot about what people think of them, and the thought of trying to do something unconventional or different they enjoy, and failing, is what keeps them from ever trying in the first place.

Why do you stay in yours?

bammyww:
Hello everyone, i'v been denied admission by the University of Ibadan. I applied via direct entry, i'm a diploma holder in computer science(distinction). I was so confident about my result that i didnt obtain this year direct entry form from jamb. I gave people my result to help me get admitted but i guess they did not work on it.
I dont know what to do,i'm beggining to loose interest in education,cuz almost 2 years will be wasted if im too wait till next year and apply again and my parent cannot my afford private university.
I'v a programming skill,i developed sqrim.com : a social community and a pay as u go streaming platform for premium audios and free streaming for basic audios(currently in beta vs). I'll be 21 this year.
Pls advice.

Try internship in your field of interest. With your distinction and a good attitude and dispensation to learn you should get a good offer. It might not be paid but you'll gain more than you can gain within school walls.

Dont see your situation as a disappointment but a Blessing.
All the best.

PS: Can Programmers and IT guys on Nairaland fix him up please?

shallysgirl:
But,southerners don't have a unified vote. Their votes will be split into pieces.

Against a failed president? You'll be surprised. Only his Fulani herdsmen will vote for him.

nairaman66:
Buhari missed this wedding?? Number one wedding planner of the year...

Missed ke? Baba is like Boko, see him photo-bombing the second pic.

Aisha Buhari is no doubt bae all day err day. I dunno if she has another daughter somewhere for me since my zaria is now sadly taken by another OBO.

asuustrike2009:
PMB still has supporters in the south. There are many of them willingly to vote him back in spite of the circumstances surrounding the country. Also many northers are not in support of him in case you don't know

Of course. That's because there's yet to be a formidable opponent stepping out to contest. Just wait and see. If Donald Duke or Fashola or Osinbajo or even Durotoye vie for Presidency today, trust me baba and his cohorts will begin to tremble.

ameri9ja:
U and I know, if Buhari runs he'd win. The trick is to somehow stop him from running.

How can he win? His only supporters are northerners.
He's lost the confidence of the south.
He has every right to run. Stop him by voting him out. If that fails, we play our next hand.

I weep for FFK.

ameri9ja:
U know the votes will be split and none of them will beat Buhari.

That's why they need to declare soon enough to gather enough momentum. Nigerians have realised the power of their vote and are pining to exercise it, first to unseat the failed incumbent and 2. To avoid another mishap by voting wisely. Of course there are those whose votes have been bought too.

But evidently the coming elections will be very decisive as it'll shake the very foundation of Nigeria, whether it stays as an entity or defragmented into its composite parts.

havillaplus:
That backside na shape of naija gals be that..

This your analysis is QED.

biacan:
No man can try this rubbish with me

Your reaction actually shows you have such experience.

prinsam30:
stupïd mourinho with his stupïd tactics, I hope he plays mata, Martial, Mctominay and bench that stupïd Sanchez/flopgba and replace young with Shaw

I trust his CV is better than yours so shut it sir, you don't even have a CV.

ameri9ja:
It's a simple question. Answer it.

Follow the thread so many competent names have been mentioned. We just need them to declare interest.

nwabobo:
This "no credible alternative" magana that you people want to use to return the imbecilic nonentity to Aso Rock will not work.

Kingsley Moghalu, Fela Durotoye, Adamu Garba are all in the race. Is Buhari better than any of them?

Forget that even a goat is better than Buhari not to talk of a competent Atiku.

Also Donald Duke, Martin Onovo, Ngozi Iweala, Fashola etc.
We just need to see any of these names declare interest, I'll so throw my whole weight and resources behind their campaign.
We don't need another failed wrinkled incompetent thieving bastard from the past. Most importantly we don't need an Hausa, they've clenched the presidency for too long and the reign of the evil Cabal must be usurped. We bringing Power to the South or we split to our confederates.

ameri9ja:
Yeah, but who exactly do u have to replace him?
Is it Atiku caught red-handed in corruption? That's the problem. They r all corrupt.

Can't you at least pretend you read the post?
Must you keep glorifying the relic blasts from the past?

madridguy:
Alhaji Atiku, open your eyes, don't fall for their tricks, they're only after your money.

Lool true though. They're advertising themselves.
But wtf is Atiku articulating sef? (lol where's my laureate?)
The culprits behind the heinous killings didn't deny they're herdsmen of Fulani tribe so what is he salivating about?
Because a majority of them are "praceful" we should not acknowledge the ones committing crimes by they tribe?

I don't blame the Hausa political thief.

This post is not for those who hate the Truth. The truth as revealed through the Word.
I pray that as we meditate together on the scripture's message on Tithe, may the Holy Spirit work his revelation in us and unveil our spiritual senses of vision and understanding of the Word in the name of Christ Jesus, Amen.

To begin, let's outline some of the ambiguities inherent on the doctrine of Tithe.

-What is the Purpose of Tithe?
-Who has the authority to collect Tithe?
-How Should Tithe be spent and Allocated?
-Is Tithing 10% of your Gross or Net Income?
-Is Tithing a Christian or Jewish Practice?
-Is there a curse attached to not Tithing?

The first mention of the word Tithe in the Bible can be found in Gen 14:20. Abram (before God established him as Abraham) had just defeated his enemies and rescued relative Lot when he met Melchizedek, King of Salem and priest of the Most High God. Melchizedek blessed him after which Abram gave a tenth of all.

The second reference to tithe was in Gen 28:22 through Abraham's grandson Jacob on his journey to Padanaram to find a wife, in a place he called Bethel. Having experienced God's Covenant in a dream he woke up made an altar and vowed to give a tenth of all.

The third was through his commandment to Moses in Lev.27.30 - And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is the LORD's. It is holy to the LORD.
This is further accentuated when God spoke to Aaron (the brother of Moses) the Levi in Num.18.21 - "Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the work which they perform, the work of the tabernacle of meeting.

Malachi reveals also that God requires tithe from the Israelites and was witholding his blessings from them because they failed to tithe. Mal.3.8 - "Will a man rob God? Yet you have robbed Me! But you say, "In what way have we robbed You?' In tithes and offerings.
Mal.3.10 - Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, That there may be food in My house, And try Me now in this," Says the LORD of hosts, "If I will not open for you the windows of heaven And pour out for you such blessing That there will not be room enough to receive it.

The other notable mentions of tithe in the new Covenant are reference points in Matt.23.23 - "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone.

Luke.18.12 - I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.' from the Christ's parable of the self righteous Pharisee.

Perhaps the most significant message of Tithe is found in Hebrews 7:1-28. Here Timothy describes in detail the annulment of the old law of the priests due to its ineffectiveness and its replacement by the perfection of Christ, the priest for ever according to the order of Melchizedek who were both not of the Tribe of Levi but ordained by God.

From the above, it is evident that Tithing started not as a commandment from God. It was a genuine personal decision by Abraham and Jacob both to touch God's heart. Abraham as a sign of gratitude for conquering his enemies and as a reminder to God for an offspring. Jacob as a Covenant for God's blessings and protection as he embarked on his unknown destiny.
Perhaps Tithing became a commandment through Jacob's vow to God. A commandment unto his offsprings, the Israelites.

Hebrews 7, however is significant and I hope we will be able to allay every confusion regarding tithe.

In Matt 23:23 Jesus Christ stresses other weightier matters than tithing. Not once did Jesus Christ or his disciples make mention of tithing as an expectation or requirement. However, neither did they abolish it. The early Christians practised generous and cheerful giving which was not percentage or ratio based but proportionate to one's harvest and generosity.

In 1Corinthians 16:1-2 Apostle Paul speaks about collection for the saints, the word Tithe was noticeably omitted

Also in 2Corinthians 9 how ministering to the saints was done.

Having put all these into consideration, no where was it mentioned that Tithing should stop. Yet neither Jesus nor his apostles necessitate it.
If you choose to key into the blessings of Tithing, it is to your advantage and benefit. Any one who has felt the touch of God in his life would give cheerfully, even beyond the tithe.

APCHaram:
The fact remains that MKO was murdered.

He was healthy on the day Susan Rice visited him and died shortly after she left.

If MKO could survive over 5yrs in detention, how come he died just a few days after his release?

The evidence FFK is presenting may be circumstantial but it does not exonerate Susan Rice and the US ambassador as they where the last people to meet with MKO before his demise.

The same tea concoction was served to Idiagbon in a meeting he attended at Aso Rock shortly after Abacha and Abiola's death.

It was rumoured that the military brass and northern power brokers where pushing for Idiagbon to compensate the Yorubas but IBB wanted none of this.

FFK the attention seeker. The bigger question is What has Nigeria done about it?
Susan Rice and Pickering wouldn't have had access to MKO had he not been sold out by the powers that be.

Nigeria's history is a pathetic and gory tale of lost opportunities of Glory masterminded by the same greedy bunch GPSed in the north who have a Compulsive Power-clenching Disorder and are still ruling us till date.

The problem of Nigeria is the North, the solution is the South..

The solution remains to execute those MFs if Nigeria is to ever survive.

NwaAmaikpe:



But he is still a tenant.
After his last landlord gave him a quit notice.

That pose tho, forming calling really? To snap? Once an ojuelegba boy, hypo can't wash it off him.

If your phone or car or any valuable gets stolen and you happened to find it somewhere say it's been resold to another person, Can you just take it since it's yours anyway or Must you report it?

What happens if you take it and the new owner reports you to the police, can you be arrested?
