Try and find out if she is sowing a seed somewhere... That's the age that they get captured by "thus says the lord scammers..."

If not then be vigilant or ask your father if there are major projects that u were not aware of

Just getting the reminiscence of good old days. We would jokingly recite the poem anytime things got difficult when we were in the University. I wonder what happened to the reading cultures. The other day I was searching frantically bookshops in Lagos for any African Writers series' novels. I found none! So pathetic.
cheesy smiley
You were really lucky to have circle of friends that loved literature while you were in the university... I was all alone in that...

My love for literature while in secondary school was as a result of the fact that we had an exceptional teacher from Ghana... I wanted to run away from it like my friends did when we were told of the number of books we have to read in order to pass grin..
I simply encouraged myself that since I was kind of good in English language, literature in English will not be much of a problem..

We kick started with the trial of Brother Jero, it went well, my biggest challenge was the Shakespeare but our teacher was there to explain away all those horrifying English language...

I turned out to be the best in my set.. during prize giving day, I was rewarded with a miserable book Gullivers Travel.. when I opened the gift... Chai!!!.. I remembered my friends were laughing their lungs out at my misery.. embarassed

After serving 48 yrs, they should just deport him..And they should specify that he is not the kind of character that Nigeria as a country needed for her great citizens to mix up with...

Songs of Sorrow by Kofi Awoonor..

Dzogbese Lisa has treated me thus
It has led me among the sharps of the forest
Returning is not possible
And going forward is a great difficulty
The affairs of this world are like the chameleon feces
Into which I have stepped
When I clean it cannot go.1

I am on the world's extreme corner,
I am not sitting in the row with the eminent
But those who are lucky
Sit in the middle and forget
I am on the world's extreme corner
I can only go beyond and forget.

My people, I have been somewhere
If I turn here, the rain beats me
If I turn there the sun burns me
The firewood of this world
Is for only those who can take heart
That is why not all can gather it.
The world is not good for anybody
But you are so happy with your fate;
Alas! The travelers are back
All covered with debt.

II.
Something has happened to me
The things so great that I cannot weep;
I have no sons to fire the gun when I die
And no daughters to wail when I close my mouth
I have wandered on the wilderness
The great wilderness men call life
The rain has beaten me,
And the sharp stumps cut as keen as knives
I shall go beyond and rest.
I have no kin and no brother,
Death has made war upon our house;

And Kpeti's great household is no more,
Only the broken fence stands;
And those who dared not look in his face
Have come out as men.
How well their pride is with them.
Let those gone before take note
They have treated their offspring badly.
What is the wailing for?
Somebody is dead. Agosu himself
Alas! A snake has bitten me
My right arm is broken,
And the tree on which I lean is fallen.

Agosi if you go tell them,
Tell Nyidevu, Kpeti, and Kove
That they have done us evil;
Tell them their house is falling
And the trees in the fence
Have been eaten by termites;
That the martels curse them.
Ask them why they idle there
While we suffer, and eat sand.
And the crow and the vulture
Hover always above our broken fences
And strangers walk over our portion.

Africa my Africa

Africa my Africa
Africa of proud warriors in ancestral Savannahs
Africa of whom my Grandmother sings
On the bank of a distance river.
I have never known you
But your blood flows in my veins..

Na there I cramme reach those years cool..

How can I forget Songs of Sorrow...
By Kofi Awoonor One of the best African master piece I have ever read.. How the man poured his heart effortlessly on that poem is what made me like him..

What she probably meant was sand-mining at river beds...

You can't blame her that much.. she didn't study geology... Even those that studied that might have their terminology for it.. which will make my suggestion elementary grin

For security reasons, are these pictures really okay... especially where money were showcased...
Or maybe Abuja is very very safe... It's the seat of government... Cases of K is minimal I guess..

Business › Re: How Do I Recover A Debt From My Pastor? by Richy4(m): 12:45pm On Jun 12, 2022
If it was a business transaction, then Send him a gentle reminder..
Be formal that what he purchased from your shop is due for payment.. thank him for his patronage..
You can do it on whatsapp, or email.. do not forget to include your account details. (even if he has the account number already).. do it fortnightly till he pays up..

And please don't let an individual prevent you from serving or worshipping God... Go after your debtors 'no matter who' at the same time go to church at will (without any care in the world ).. Tell yourself that he can't stop u from making heaven smiley

Christianity Etc › Re: Can A True Christian Be Actively Involved In Nigeria Politics As It Is Today? by Richy4(m):
embarassed
<<In my opinion, I will say Yes.. Christians should be actively involved in Nigerian politics..

<<Daniel did.. even during his time, it was dirtier than the Nigerian politics to an extent they conspired and he was thrown in the lion's den..

<<Joseph used his political powers to make differences and increased revenues in the land of Egypt..

<< Since Nigerians loved tribalism a lot, Queen Esther used her office "of the first lady" to save her tribe from extinction...

So yes.. if u can make a change and a difference, why not

For educational purpose. Sir. I agree that they will burn in hell but my question is I need a Bible verse that says that they will burn for ever and ever as to wether they will burn and be destroyed (cease to exist)

grin grin cheesy grin
Christianity has nothing to do with this one... You have to differentiate between parasites and someone who genuinely needed a once off help... There's a thin line between being taken for a fool and being kind.. check your status and correct accordingly..

Read 2 Corinthians 9:7.. the key words there is compulsion.. don't give out of compulsion...
Before you moved in, how has she been cooking?.. there are things that u can't share.. and gas is one of them...

Assuming she was constantly looking for pressing iron, chargers, matchbox or just once off cooking gas due to the fact that she ran out without realising it then fine.. If u can't get rid of her parasitic nature, then pay a girl to do it for u.. a good actress who knows how to say NO..

When she comes and wants her usual, u will act like you wanted to go and bring it out.. the girl will refuse.. she will hear the commotion...
The girl will storm outside and beg her to stop taking her boyfriend's good heart for a ride cheesy

The neighbors will hear... U will pay her for her acting skills... She will do follow up on u for a week just to make it look like u guys were dating... she's capitalising on your magnanimity buddy... I feel bad for you...
