On March 14, 2020, social media user, Demola of Lagos, shared a story of Mrs Joyce Dayser Adams, who lost her Auto shop in Wuye, Abuja, to demolition.
The autoshop, worth millions of naira in assets, where she goes about her daily business and trained females in auto works 'free of charge' was subject to a land use tussle. A court granted her ownership of the land and a restraining order on FCDA from harassing the occupants.
However, the order was disregarded and on the said day, FCDA moved in and reduced the thriving venture to rubbles, aided by a crack team of Policemen, VIO, NSCDC and some other security agencies leaving a distraught Joyce, heartbroken over her fortunes.
However, she picked herself up, set herself up again to keep her dream alive and later relocated to the UK. She went back to school, and graduated last month with an M. Sc in Mechatronic Systems Engineering.
Failure is not the falling down, but the staying down.
I am still learning, even those of us that have been in the Senate for sixteen years we are still learning so we will do well to continue to learn.
But in the course of talking to one of my distinguished sisters, that she should speak whenever she is recognised I made reference to the fact that we are not in a nightclub where people have to shout above the noise of the music and the social media went agog.
I am not on social media but my wife called me that people got angry and published her number and said they should occupy her line so she used to receive over 2000 to 3000 phone calls a day. And I tried to put on one of my phones, the number was in the public and you find out the phone crashed after about three hours.
So, I am very happy with the interest generated by Nigerians with what goes on in this chamber because we are here to cater for their interests. For them to be interested with what goes on here, means that we are connecting with the people directly and it will have been terrible if we are doing all this work and the people are not even aware of what we are doing.
But the communication was totally misunderstood instead of taking it for the nature of what we said that you should not shout when you are talking and speak only when you are recognized, they went into private abuses. I don't want to say what they did to me, I think I do not merit it. I was telling the DSP that he is the one they should be talking to because in my tradition we marry only one wife so they listed so many wives on social media.
I don't know how you took it but I feel I should tender a public apology to you.
debbiebianca2: Nigerian Lady Who Lived Overseas For 15 Years Creates A Scene After Returning To Nigeria To Discover All The Money She Was Sending To Her Brother To Build A House For Her Wasn't Done As Expected.
WhizdomXX: Jesus Christ. The reason was that she and her "unmarried" husband have been living together for a while now, In the past 1 months the man was jobless and then he got a job as a contractor with Chevron, only to come home on the eve of that announcement with a lady that "he wants to marry". She sells fish and has been sustaining the family all this while. One morning, she woke up and told them she is going to buy fish. On the way to the market, she started distributing the money she wanted to use to buy fish to people freel until she was left with 1k, then on reaching the bridge, she prayed on top the last 1k in her hand and jumped.
Chai! This is wickedness from the man. But then she shouldn’t have taken her life. It’s well
fadilaMaikiriki: Alright. So this married man has been disturbing her to get down with him. The thing is, she doesn't know how to tell the man no or how to discourage him. She doesn't know how to turn him down in order not to come off as rude, and also because of the money the man gives her.
Please, how best do you think she can do this. As a lady, how do you put off a married man who wants to get down with you, without sounding rude? And also without affecting the friendship you have with such person. She said she wants to do it in such a way that the man will not be offended. And also she doesn't want the issue to affect his financial gestures towards her.
Your opinions will be appreciated.
Thanks.
I tell the person to tell me he loves me in front of his wife. Most don’t do it so they quietly leave
This stupid man called OLUMIDE AKPATA organized and designed NBA conference of 2022 to shame TINUBU and SHETIMMA and glorify OBI using OBIdient among NMA members.....I am soo happy that the same OBI-diots are dealing with him now.
Not true. Stop being sentimental, he invited everyone and wasn’t even the one who chaired the session with the political party aspirants
brain54: Religion is complex and a sensitive issue to many people...
Just because someone practices a different religion from yours doesn't make it diabolic. Imagine the guy asking her if it's Bible or Koran. So as it's not it makes it diabolical.
African traditions and religions have existed a long time before the arrival of the white man and his religion.
Except she was putting something directly into the food she was selling to the public then people should be free to practice their faith and believe systems and what works for them.
Last I checked there exists freedom of worship as enshrined in the constitution.
Except she is putting things directly into the food she sells then she should be left alone to practice what she believes.
No difference between her and another who sprays anointing oil/holy water in their shop or yet another who scribbles passages from a "holy book" mixes it with whatever and applies it to the shop with the same intent as the woman.
I had to repeat the last but one paragraph for emphasis because I know some people will still misunderstand what I am saying!
If she can eat what she sells, ehen, then all your write up will be justified but if she can’t eat it, then she is diabolic
Gistmedia10: A Nigerian man's attempt to reconnect with his family after years of abandonment was met with a fierce rebuke from his son, who was just 2 years old when he left.
In a viral video, the son can be heard shouting "Abeg get out! Get out!!" as he and his mother walk away from the estranged father, who was seen laughing off the rejection.
Was the boy justified in rejecting his father after being abandoned for so long?
That’s why I advise both genders to be responsible to their kids irrespective of the differences between the partners cos children of these generation will only care for those who cared for them. That pity party talk of ‘a child will always look for his father/mother doesn’t apply to them
There's no way you will not both fill the roles of parent to each other at some point in time. When the man is at his lowest ebb, he will first explain his predicaments to his wife and will rely on her for a measure of parental nurturing and vice versa for the wife too.
When spouses are celebrating milestones, the most important person they look out for in the audience is his or her spouse. Thats the role children put their parents o.
professorPABX: You want him to continue when he is depressed? You want him to continue until Baba goes to rest and another person becomes the G.O? You are a Spirit having a soul that dwells in the body. Once the soul is broken down, any arrow that enters the body penetrate the spirit directly. If the spirit doesn't have enough Fire, there will be problem. Again, in depression, the spirit cannot enjoy Baba's Grace. He needs to take a long break.
I quite understood what you said. It happens clearly in Winners and other Ministries. God knows best.
Depression can only come if he allows the thought of worldly pleasures to take over his mind, but if he looks at the transfer as doing the Lord’s work, then depression cannot come
As a man or woman of God who wants to do exploits for God, never leave your church where you serve with anger, it doesn’t usually end well. It is well with them and Christendom
Frost124: Good day nairalanders, thank God this site is a faceless forum... Few weeks ago my dad told me he is HIV positive, when he told me I was disappointed but I made sure I didn't show it and I encouraged him... Him and my mother has been sick for a while and I certainly know he has transferred it to my mum.... My dad was very promiscuous when he was younger even after he married my mom he was still promiscuous. I am the only child and I have been footing the bills for their medical cares I am just 26 years old and I have spent so much and there is more spending still to come.... My father only told me, my mother is not aware of her health status all she thinks it's just a normal sickness happening to her. I have no one to talk to, I don't trust any friends because I believe when I tell them, they will certainly spread the news and you know the stigmatization against HIV patients, it's not good... I am frustrated, depressed and financially drained, sometimes I stay in my room and cry.... To avoid thinking, sometimes I just drink some alcohol... This issue has been in my heart for several weeks I just had to put it on Nairaland to ease my pain. My father just called me today that my mom has been admitted to the hospital, she was too weak to even walk.... Another spending and I am running out of cash, don't know what to do anymore. It wouldn't be this severe if they found out earlier, it's almost late. May God help me and my parents.
I’m sorry to say it, your father is a very wicked man. He carried STD and transferred to your innocent mother who wasn’t promiscuous. May God heal your Mum
Northernblood9: I will suggest that Nigerians boycott some of these perishable foods. Let these greedy farmers suffer heavy loss.
It is not proper that federal government will fund these farmers to encourage self sufficiency but yet, these greedy bastards will still make these foods non affordable for common man
How can you boycott beans when meat and fish are expensive
