Christianity EtcRe: Can I Still Go To Church After Having Sex On A Sunday Morning? by rickleye: 11:51am On Sep 17, 2023
Your question get K-leg !
What have you been doing all this while abstaining from sex on Sunday Morning before service or you didn’t have sex on Saturday evening on campus and head for church the next day in school ?
What’s the source of the confusion and condemnation?

I can see that the man is working. It however just feels and sounds like all talk with no results.

I know it takes time… just carry us along .

It’s been 120 days and I haven’t gotten any aid to help my bottom line due to current market conditions. It just appears like trial and error.

Give people a win . Either provide low interest loans or send us the palliative aid to cushions the effects of inflation and subsidy removal.

This is long but i would make it as short as possible.
Ok i know girl A (Alex) from school, was 2 levels above her when i left Uni and there's girl B (Jane) which i knew in my area then in Calabar around 2019.
Girl B (Jane) has been on my neck for marriage, actually she isn't in for money. She has never asked me for money before, she do tell me even though i wont marry her but i should at least make her carry my child and she would be ok. Like this girl really bugs me with this talk
that i sometimes get tired of talking to her. She would tell me she knows i don't love her anymore and she does most of the calling. Her talks mostly ends in 2 ways. If its not "i don't love her anymore", "its how do we plan to get married".
Now, i and girl A (Alex) started dating beginning of this year but we've been friends from school, prior to that (Jane) and i were dating. It was the pressure from her getting married talks that pushed me back to girl A (Alex). She knew about (Jane), i told her, it did not really border her but i never broke up with (Jane). I ghosted (Jane) because it would be expensive trying to keep with 2 people had to put 1 on hold. In fact it was her idea we became serious since we now understand ourselves better and we spoke a lot, was serving when we started everything was going well until this girl started acting smh. Like if she doesn't have money she starts acting grumpy. Me wea dey serve dey use 33k dey guide wea no dey reach me, after i buy food suff with almost 25k and i still get little needs i sha try assist in the little way i could, sent her 10k for her BD. Our relationship started sinking because no money and i don't do yahoo, she is mostly not happy and she kinda transfer it to me, if i try to encourage her she would say its motivational talk and she doesn't like that. She too enter camp and through out 21 days, she only had my time for 4 days, inside those days e no dey hours self. She was always busy that was why she could not talk. She's out and needed money to pay rent where her PPA is, she started acting grumpy. Told her i couldn't be in a relationship with someone that keeps acting this way, it wasn't going well for anyone that's why during my time i made sure is stayed in a place that had accommodation but she didn't plan and want to pressure me. Told her if she kept acting the way she acts i would stop communicating with her which i did. After close to a month she called me a day before my BD and said i did not notice she wasn't online, me wea no even send you again. My BD came and she no call, text or anything, I called her a day after to end it and everyone could go their separate ways, i would count it as a lose and move on but this girl done dey beg me, make i please forgive her, she's going to change, cousin called to talk to me too but i had deleted her number from my phone because of her i deactivated my Facebook too. Now its 7 months in and i last spoke to (Jane) earlier last month, she's telling me there are 3 guys disturbing to marry her. Showed me a chat were 1 said he has rented a 3bedroom so she knows he is serious me that is just 27yrs and i know marriage is not beans. Like she would tell me to just go see her people even if its just introduction i can afford that i should just do something, she doesn't wanna marry anyone apart from me and that she gives me a year to sort this. Now this girl isn't responding to me like before, like she's literally busy every time. Its so annoying that she would be online and she won't read my messages, i don talk tire, i vex delete her line from my phone.
I am confused, if i say i don't like the two of them then I'm lying to myself. Smh, i say make i start afresh again, delete both their numbers and stopped talking to them but (Alex) won't stop, what would you have me do?

Turn it up
Marriage is no beans. Do not put the cart before the horse. Do not run when you are still crawling. I would preferred Jane - she is level headed and humble.
But you are not yet ready for marriage so work on yourself first !

Christianity EtcRe: The Abuse Of Speaking In Tongues In The Christian Fold by rickleye:
Why don’t we have a disclaimer for such topics like the muslims do - Do you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour etc.
It’s only fair !!!

Back to the topic - does a son stop becoming a son because he disobeys a parent ?
Does a zebra stop being a zebra because it has yellow stripes instead of white and black.
Does a cup stop being one because it is dirty ?

In any case - this topic will not achieve its intended purpose on this forum as there are polarizing views.
My 2 cents …Let everyone be guided as their spirit leads. If you believe in speaking passionately in tongues good for you . If you believe a different way good for you . I will not look down on a brother or sister for either choice
Christianity EtcRe: Why Do You Always Sleep In Church? by rickleye: 11:17am On Sep 10, 2023
The same applies also at times when you are having a haircut or at school.
When you are awake - your body responds to stimuli so your mind is active but your body is restricted which eventually calms the mind and the mind says since we are not moving we must be trying to sleep….
Hence why some churches will inject a lot of let’s stand and later let’s sit. Let’s dance etc. the sleep usually occurs during the sermon- why preachers have to engage the congregation and give long winding sermons.
At school - if the teacher is teaching some abstract thing the mind is fruitless and says not comprehend and engages is disturbing h the glass and or passing notes.

I'm a software engineer working remotely from Nigeria. I earn a 7-figure monthly salary.
With my salary only (at an average exchange rate of 850/$), it would take me about 6.6 years to save up 100 million, provided I have zero dependents and had to cater only for myself throughout those years. It's quite a naive way to project this though because a lot of things can happen along those years. But it still gives an idealistic comparison base.



So my question goes to Nigerians currently living or have lived abroad. Can you tell us the country, the job title, and how long it would take to save up to NGN100 milliion, assuming you have zero dependents and have to cater for only yourself. Do remember to factor in taxes if any and other living expenses for yourself alone

The reason for my question is not far-fetched. I'm just wondering if it's worth it to sell ones' properties worth milliions just to JAPA and go start over again. Please, refrain from dragging the country's situation into your answer or any other reason to JAPA. Kindly focus on answering the question as best as possible.

Thanks.
6.6 years = 78months
N100,000,000/78 months =N 1,282,000 a month

1,282,000/850 = USD$1500 a month.

Now I will assume by your calc, taxes have been taken off.

Zero dependants is impossible
Vehicle or Bus pass is a dependent
feeding / resto service is one
Internet / mobile phone
Clothes is another.
Tv services
Investments - RRSP or Savings is another. ( I am talking about disposable income - money that you set aside for raining day which will not affect your goal of N100m.
What happens if the company downsizes ?
Send money to parents or siblings
Go on Vacation.

Considering the aforementioned . It will double your 6.6 years. Without a business or non taxable venture ….

Good luck 🤞

Simple answer is yes.
What you want to do when you move abroad is get a property.
So rent for first one year to get a bearing of where you want to live.
After that then look for a property to buy be in a duplex. Stay upstairs and rent the lower duplex .
So for example.
I know someone who bought a 400,000 house and placed a 10% down payment . So technically he was paying mortgage on $360,000 for 25 years at 2.5% interest. So about $1600/month.
The tenant was paying $800 so he contributed the balance.
He did a $500 contribution 2ce a year which went directly to principal.
In about 5 years the value of the house increased ( appreciated ) to 470k . The amount owed lowered to $350k .
Now technically he can only access 80% of 470k which leaves less mortgage with $25k in another 5 years - the property value will increase and payments lowered etc.

RomanceRe: In A Dilemma Right Now, Please Advise by rickleye: 5:02pm On Sep 08, 2023
Nonywendy:
I have been dating this my girl friend since 2017. She made me fall and believe in love, she ticked all the qualities I desire in a woman. When I we started dating she was in her 200L, and everything was going on smoothly. Now this is where the issue lies,
When she went for service in another state, I started noticing some changes, wen she comes back home during holidays I used to go through her phone.(note: she has access to my phone and I too).
So one of those period I realised she is seeing another guy in the state where she is serving. I confronted her and she opened up to me and confessed. I forgave her.

Then after like 4months again, I later noticed she is also seeing another guy different from the initial one I noticed, she denied that but I had to do my deep investigation and got an evidence, she opened up again, at this point I broke up with her and moved on. After like one month she came back begging for forgiveness, It took me time to heal and I forgave her.

Then this last one that broke the camel's back, I noticed she traveled to the state where she did her youth service for something and all this while I thought she was staying with her sister, not knowing she was staying with the first guy she dated while serving whch she apologised. She stayed with her for three good weeks. How I realized was, I called her line one early morning arnd 3am and a guy picked the call asking me who I am. At first, I froze cos I haven't been in that kind of situation, I calmed down and explained everything to the guy, and the guy also told me she has been with her for the past three weeks and that's the girl friend too. I was shocked. I have broken up with her finally cos I don't think forgiving a cheating partner is worth it.
The first time she cheated, 90% of my friends advised me to dump her ass and move on but I had to forgive on the basis of nobody is perfect, but this third time is a no no.
Now she has been begging and asking for forgiveness that she has really learnt her lessons. At this point I'm just so mad that I don't want to forgive her.
Now the big problem is that I'm always seeing her in my dream, I have not really moved on cos it's not easy for me. I have loved her for solid 6 yrs plus.
Note: all the family members from my side and her side are fully aware of our relationship and have approved but they are not aware that I have broken up. If you are my shoes will you forgive her for this very last time or will her cheating continues?
Your advise and suggestions will be well appreciated. Thank you
She isn’t the one bro.
You see her in your dreams because of the investment in her plus the duration you have been with her .
Unfortunately trust has been broken and she is doing everything in her power not to restore it.

I would get a short time gal and have sex till kingdom come to get over the ex and move on. That is why we don’t rush into anything .

Good luck

Good morning landers, its a beautiful thursday morning here in lagos,
Ok so straight down to the business without much hassle.

It goes like this, ok I have this girl I'm dating she has been a lovable soul a friend,partner,lover and mother.

She is caring also I have never met a girl like that in my life since I became an adult the only person that I know has those quality she possessed was my mum which is late now.

she is from kwale I think a town In delta state and I am from ondo so we have been together for couple of years now.

We had a heart to heart conversation she told me about her past and I also told her about mine.

Though I've dated some substantial amount of ladies sha, I don't want to mention before una call me (Ashewo or brostitute grin,

So in the long run while explaining she told me what transpired between she and some of her exes the ones that kept deceiving her and collecting money from her she mentioned about 10 of them which she actually supported to to travel out of the country but they neglected and dumped her after they got over sea, more of like she fell into the hand of bad guys.

What kept ringing in my head and making me scared was the fact she made out with some of them and I still get angry knowing that fact sometimes she would be crying that I'm using her past against her just because she was inlove and it didn't work out within she and any of her ex .

I love her but her past kept dragging me back and making me scared of taking the next step.

Not to mention all of what she has done for me but when I lost my mum she stood by me all through the difficult times she prays for me she was with me at the hospital for days until my mum passed out.

Looking at these are qualities I get confused the more because I dint know if I'm making the right decision by letting her go she rarely ask for anything

Please your candid advice I'd needed
Dude how old are you 20 ?
Leave her alone .
For you to bring this case before the NL elders mean you can’t get over her past.
Personally, if she checks all the boxes , I’ll marry her -but you are concerned about her body count.

Either you slept with 1 person or she 100. You are neither a virgin.

You are asking the wrong question -
Does she make you happy ?

I’ll tell ya a story. I left the country and returned back a few years ago . Met up with an ex who was so happy to see me . I didn’t know she was married.

Anyways, my sister took me to see her at a Barracks and she introduced me to her husband. She said honey - this was the dude I was supposed to marry, the dude I told you about . We shook hands and his answer , I must be the lucky man. And he hugged her saying to me “ your loss”
They are still married with 3 girls . We are still friends.

I can tell you that girl’s past looking for love in all the wrong places. How many times we did it and where ?
But all “that” does not matter .
Grow some balls and be the luckier person and marry her or let her go.
