As pessimistic as this man is about this Buhari govt he does paint the true grim picture of the truth.
Perhaps we were only sold a pipe dream in exchange for our votes. We can't afford to get in wrong in the next election. But who can get it right? Donald Duke? Fashola? Okonjo Iweala? Osinbajo? Fashola? Peter Obi? Or Tara's hubby?

princechurchill:
I saw ur advice on him concerning his training methods and his boxing skills

Last I heard, he retired right?
Have you heard of any investment he made since then?
Eboue was balling hard too in his prime remember?
When will blacks learn? Only few get it.

Oh dear.
Funny how one crime/sin starts a chain reaction of other crimes/sins. Like a Ripple effect on a calm water. The domino's effect is laughable yet so grave.

His first sin started as simple as most likely lusting after another woman. Then followed by an innocent act of lying to his wife, then it gravitates to cheating on his wife (adultery). Now this probably continued for some time (cos said mistress got preggy).

Now to cover up his "mess" and save himself from the shame and humiliation of his wife and congregation not to mention the pastor counterparts, the devil having magnified the outcome in his head finally plants one tiny little seed into his head... Why not just kill her and watch all your problems disappear??

He's dishevelled, disoriented, discombobulated, lonely... and so far gone. Probably can't even pray again cos of the heavy dark shadow of guilt that envelopes and encapsulates him whenever he shuts his eyes in prayers..

Now all he needed to do was remember Romans 3:23-24
Confess his sins to God and his wife and Deal with the outcome. Yes he'll probably be expelled as a pastor, probably even be divorced by his wife. But he would have found an inner peace, found hope and confidence in Jesus and probably saved lives. (his, the mistress' and her unborn)

But it's never too late, that's the Grace that abounds in God, through Christ.
I pray he finds peace and reunion with God.

Black man's curse is to Keep acquiring liabilities and blowing his trumpet while the white man invests in assets playing real life monopoly with properties.. I see another MC Hammer protégé.

aaronson:
Both are old. That's what they have in common.

Do you really have to say the meanest things just for Likes?

vlogger:
The man got moves for life. He doesn't seem to care less about what people say. Thumbs up � sir!

I'll only feel insulted if you didn't get paid for this comment. Cos otherwise your lot are what's holding Nigeria back. To say you like a senator for his dance moves rather than his works. when he has nothing to show for his new office is ridiculous, to say the least.

Nice writ OP.
Sorry it fell short of your expectation. Nigeria still sucks at this. Tourism being a major source of IGR for countries with less nature's wonders than ours.

This threads brings goose bumps and shrills of nostalgia as Ikogosi is probably my most vivid memory as a kid. Unlike OP I had no expectation (as a kid) also because if was perhaps a business/pleasure trip for my dad and his Korean business partners and we just had to tag along.

My first memory was the hysteria of witnessing a naturally springing hot water from underground. And as a curious kid, I would have dug that ground to find the source too.
Unfortunately it's also memorable cos it was my first travel sickness which nearly ruined the whole experience.
And just when I thought it couldn't get worse I got cut by a broken tile inside the pool (really wish I sued).

It would have been a bad experience but for the great company of my typical Nigerian family ogling at the Korean aliens lol while my bad-mouthed cousin steadily always found fault in everything they did. It was fun after all.

Hopefully one day soon, we'll start getting it right. I really hope Nigerians would take the bull by the horns this coming elections and demand for our choice leaders and not those enforced on us.

terrezo2002:
What I see here is perverted knowledge. Jesus Christ is the truth. Eternity begins and ends in Him. If you are searching for knowledge, search in Jesus Christ. That's the only way you can know the truth that is not perverted.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God.
He is the Wisdom and the power of God.
The Spirit of God dwells in Him.
He is the righteousness of God.
He is the Love.
The beginning and the end.
Many have wondered into the spirit world and have been given messages which are polluted. They now believe they know the truth and so teach people falsehood.
Warning: Be careful, don't be a false prophet...Many have come with messages and have gone. Many will still come again, but don't be part of them.

1John 4 says it all. Test the spirits, False prophets, Antichrist.
John 8:32 "and you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."

Growing up as a child, we were taught there's either a Truth or A Lie. If you weren't telling the truth you were lying.
But as adults we've come to realise it's not always so. There are grey areas between the black and white.

The same exoerience/occurence/situation yet different perceptions/interpretation.
A wife complains her husband does not love and care for her because he's not always available for her. The husband believes his love and care for her drives and motivates him to work late to enable him provide for her and the family.

Both expressing love yet, it is misconstrued as if the love wasn't there.

Where am I driving at?
The big question really is What is the Truth?
Is the Bible the Truth?
Is experiencial evidence the Truth?

It gets complicated here because they are both Truths. But one is the Greater, Truer, Purer, more Perfect Truth- The Bible. The gospel of Jesus Christ, the message of Love and Grace of God through Redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

It is never an outdated, inferior knowledge. It has only suffered perversion and misinterpretation and wrong teaching. It is forever the Superior Divine Word of God who was, is and is to come (Timeless). Even the knowledge we're not yet exposed to is embedded in it.
You just have to Ask for the Holy Spirit, Seek Him and Knock to be freely Given, to Find and have all your needs Opened on to you.

I pray we all find the Truth in the name of Jesus, Amen.

Dear wailers we Buharists officially apologize for this mess.

It's not spiritual at all, you're just broke!
Hustle hard, you'll never lose women chasing the cheese.

PS: You can also ask one of your female friends (if you got one) she'll be more upfront with you.

sexybbstar:
I'm outside lag but the craze is everywhere. I don't listen to such songs. I love solemn music like Celine Dion, Sia, Brandy, adele, tony Braxton and Co. The only Nigerian artiste I listen to is psquare and banky w

Lucky you. Cos once you go street there's no going sweet. Lol basically once you go black you can't go back.

Been trying to filter my playlist for a while now but always end up rushing back to the uncontrollable sounds of the street.

karli4nia:
Hmmm....you seem to have refined taste in music... It speaks volumes of your kinda personality...
Guess u wld like this classics from the corrs


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9oWQvp8y4Kc[url][/url]

Too boring. I yawned like 10 times b4 the 1 minute mark.
For a Corrs fan I would suggest Breathless or Runaway. Thank me later.

sexybbstar:
I've not even listen to this song. But the slang is just everywhere.

O.0 ITs everywhere in Lagos, clearly you're outside lag.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
but you yourself know that we have so many kids and some silly old ones here on nairaland who have refuse to leave their dream world where everything goes as planned and perfect too. You not need their pix or age, their cooments expose them all the time.

Mos def. You just have to be social media intelligent to know how to deal with trolls. Some you just gotta ignore, some you have to shut down with an epic comeback, others you just gotta block.

MISSCONGENIALITY:
most of them and kids below 15years whose heards are filled with fantasy. They can't seperate reality from fantasy yet. Some of them who are above 20 are idle and so are their brains. Some still pee in the bed. You know them from their silly comments.

Chisos! You harsh oh. Lool

Lool you get a free pass!!! Street IQ detected.

Disclaimer: Errr If you can't do the "Shaku-Shaku" dance kindly move to the next post, cos this is clearly not for you.
And in the famous words of Small Doctor, "If You No Get Money... (Well you know the rest).

Now, I believe that makes you reading this either "Omo Shepeteri" or "Science Student". (dodges pure water lol)

The music industry is presently abuzz right now with a new bust of energy from the Streetz of Nigeria, especially the centre of excellence, Lafiaji (in Vector's voice). It's taken over the mainland and island and evidently beyond.
It's suddenly Cool to tell your clique "I Rep The Streetz" without raised eye brows.
Like How did this happen? When did this transition take place?? Who are the "Expendables" of the Streetz

Olamide aka Badoo practically took...

May your wife not put to bed on a flight from US to Nigeria.

Amin loruko Jesu!!!

Honestly the best thing that happened to the average guy is the Internet age. So many opportunities if you stay in the know.
Nice one op.

Femi Adesina keeps testing our patience with every attempt to humanise the president.
I can't blame him it's his job, he has a family to feed.
But in his defense of the President's lacklustre response to the spate of menace and carnage being wreaked by the Fulani herdsmen, he foolishly pleaded with Nigerians not to attribute it to the President being Fulani himself. What then shall we attribute it to sir? Oh I forgot, let's blame Jonathan yet again.
To add insult to injury, a dim-witted, unintelligent, quasi-nomadic numskull actually had the effrontery to blame Nigerians reaction on too much consumption of Maggi (no sir, you didn't read that wrong, same maggi spice)
That's not even the height, She even further justifies these killings by asserting that Fulanis in fact value Cattle lives more than their own lives.
Please Do these people deserve then to share the same SKIN with the Human race? If this is in fact their orientation.
Please 2019 is too far.

mhisbliss:
what I don't understand is why you had to qoute me to air your views! I'm not the op and it looked like you're referring to me

You didn't catch your sub? Read first paragraph again.

mhisbliss:
there you go with the wrong stereotype again, (girls are drawn to money) you're right about focusing on his hustle but wrong about the money thing, any girl that is after your money is not different from a prostitue so don't generalize, his problem is not the fact that girls aint throwing themselves at him, his fear is the fact that he's loosing his sex drive, not getting attracted to girls is a big problem, he might be transcending into homosexuality, my advice to you is try to know why those girls rejected you, you can befriend them and get acquainted to the point that they're comfortable talking to you, they'll tell you one way or the other why they rejected your advances, if you're lucky, they'll have similar reasons, looks and money isn't all you need to woo a girl I feel it has something to do with your personality so work on yourself

He's not wrong though. Girls are in fact attracted to money, though not all.
That said @Poster as she asked, hope your sudden loss of appetite for the curves is not because you're now sexually attracted to men?
If not (and I strongly hope) you're safe. Two things are involved.
-You've over-indulged yourself sexually and now losing your sex drive.
-You're frustrated about certain developmen(s) in your life. Perhaps school or unemployment or family issues, maybe even craving the intimacy you can't get from masturbation and porn.

So you need to evaluate this and take proactive measures to solve it. Life's too short to shut down.

Nairalanders,

Pls, I want to invest N250k into a barbing saloon. That's what is on my mind for now. But some other person suggested drycleaning business.

I work with a private firm & earn N75k monthly. I won't be the one to manage the business if I open any. I would get someone to manage it for me.

Please, I need advice.

Or any other suggestion apart from the two mentioned above.

Location: south east, Abia to be precised.

Thanks

Both are viable businesses.
Unlike those advising you to try both at once I'll suggest you start with one. Managing a business isn't child's play especially when you're doing it by proxy.
So the choice is dependent on which you can provide better service at. Do you have good barbers at your disposal? Who can provide neat next to Next cut?
Do you have good hands that can provide good service at clean neatly packaged laundry service?

Your answer should help you in your decision.
Entrepreneurahip is the way to go especially considering lack of job security besides your salary will look like a week's earning in the nearest future. Wish you all the best.

Stutern, a Lagos-based online platform has published the salary distribution of employed graduates in Nigeria.

Stutern carries out studies on employment in Nigeria and Nigerian universities and this year, they created something called the Nigerian Graduate report.

According to the report released, statistics were obtained between 2010-2016.

Stutern embarked on a study into the salary distribution of employed graduates and below is what was found out.

1. More than 50% of Nigerians currently earn N50,000 or less on a monthly basis.

2. 1 in 4 new graduates earn less than N20,000 monthly as starting salary.

3. Over 80% of employed graduates currently earn not more than N150,000 per month.

4. Most graduates earn between N20,000 – N50,000 monthly both as starting salary and current salary.

5. Only about 1.92% earn above N150,000 monthly.


Earlier, we compiled a list of universities with the most employable graduates in Nigeria as released by Stutern.

Covenant University located in Ota, Ogun state was at the top of the list with a 90% employability rate.

Many are finding it hard to get good jobs. While some are out there still searching, others have decided to become self-employed

SOURCE: https://www.techtimes.com.ng/2018/01/this-is-how-much-most-graduates-earn-in.html?m=1

Nigerians are terrible at statistics.
Where did they get the indices and how did they come about the percentages?
This is not informative at all. It's just a skeletal work.

adepeter26:
I wan see the punishment of the holy spirit ni jare.... Christianity don dae lié since time immemorial

It's been a journey since I made this post. I've sought and found deeper meaning of God and being a Christian. Speaking in tongues is scriptural. Mark 16:17

I pray for more knowledge and understanding of the spirit upon you.
Human intellect can only take us far, Building our spiritual senses is equally important.

brandonobi:
speaking in tongues, wow, saying rubbish to impress dunces who think u have the holy spirit upon u, and people will be shouting amen, and I'm just like, are they well at all

Speaking in tongues is scriptural. Mark 16:17

ITbomb:
And this fear keeps Africans on the lowest level of spirituality when others are having a close and higher relationship with the Almighty as Apostle Paul said in Hebrew 4 : leaving behind the first principles... and pressing towards perfection (the fullness of the Godhead).
How can we press towards perfection when we are afraid of knowing how things work.

Back to the topic, the speaking of tongues we hear in most churches is just gibberish.
Where the Holy Spirit works, there is order and you will feel the solemn presence of the Almighty even without a sound

While it's likely some churches profane the spiritual tongue, it's impossible really to know.
I believe in speaking in tongues now. It's scriptural. I pray for more knowledge and understanding for us all.

adepeter26:
may Amadioha strike that holy spirit down

I pray you find more knowledge. Speaking in tongues is real
