KosiGee:
The op should’ve added or made it clear that there is a distinction between tea and chocolate drink.
Tea drinking in Nigeria is misunderstood by lots of people.
Tea drinking to a lot of people means boiled water in a big cup or mug, ‘scoops of ovaltine, bournvita, horlicks or other sweetened chocolate powders, cubes or sugar and generous amount of either evaporated milk or powdered milk’ all mixed and vigorously stirred and enjoyed with delicious fresh Agege bread.
That’s chocolate drink.

Tea is actually made by pouring hot water over crushed tea leaves or tea bags in a cup and left for a few seconds or mins. Some people would add a squirt of milk and sugar. Lots of tea drinkers wouldn’t add sugar to it.
Typically, a normal tea is boiled water over tea bags, crushed tea leaves...milk is added depending on how strong you want it.

An eg of tea is Lipton yellow label tea bag.

There is a common notion that teas like Lipton yellow label have a slimming effect on the body. True?

Me thinks Aisha is protesting against the unwillingness of Jubril Al-Sudan to acknowledge her as first lady even after she made a public statement on it. Jubril will have non of it and insists she stays in da other room. So our dear Aisha has decided to play the feminist.

It's not a strange sight to witness new couples wearing the same dress and the same color to various outing.
It's normal to see such at Sunday Services at churches and also mosques.
My question is how long does it take to observe such dressing till either of the couples stop.

What do you intend to do with the answer to this question ?

I do know a couple however that have been married for almost three decades. They still dress in matching outfit most of the times they attend events together. So it depends on the nature of their relationship and their personalities.

Octopusssy:
No be quarrel oga. She must be this, she must be that, she must be beautiful bla bla bla. He has not once listed what he has to offer. Is he handsome? Comfortable? Tall? Flat tummy? Intelligent? Supposing God's will for his life and destiny is a short, charcoal skinned, flat chested, flat hipped, flat assed woman? Instead of praying for God's will, he is dropping a long list and disturbing our eyes.

You go worry o. Flat chested, charcoal skinned, you one kill the guy?

He said he would be a pastor soon, so better better, e get the kind anointing wen dey attract our spirikoko sisters dem. Make we leave the application for those ones. But sha know say nor be God dey decide wife for man. Na bless e dey bless.

Kayceenaz:
Nice perspective! In as much as I fancy your submission, It is pivotal we bear in mind that God-man relationship in the Christian context transcends, although it includes, morality. The most fundamental reason for such unique union is fellowship, knowing one's creator and bonding with Him. Most atheists' argument on how needless God is in developing moral labels somewhat points to His non-existence, underscores their myopic view of what the Uncreated Creator brings to the table.

Going by that viewpoint, if we can determine what right or wrong is on our own, then we don't need God. If we don't need God in making choices that optimize our lives, then he doesn't exist. But since God also primarily provides fellowship which fills the gap within created by our nature as religious beings (homo-religiosus), it follows we need Him. If we need Him, His existence becomes more probable, partly because our natural selves typically yearns for what is obtainable, not illusory.

My point is God plays the role of a husband/wife to us but in a higher dimension. Through Agape love, he shows affection, comforts, advises, corrects, directs, favours, and encourages. God is not our boss, He is our companion, partner, and friend. He is always ready to be all these to you and me, if we take the steps enumerated in His Word, allowing ourselves to be conditioned toward Him.

I so much like this perspective of yours. The atheists is their folly try to equate a Christian and a moral man. They say things like "I love your Christ but hate you Christians". Christianity is more than being able to distinguish right from wrong. In fact, this particular trait was what brought about the fall and the need for redemption. The believer is not a moral man, he is Righteousness.

You can post this thread in the religion section rather than family section.

Instead of commiting your search into God's hands you're here busy listing criteria. Physician, heal thyself

There is a difference between both, but it doesn't mean one is against the other. The gospel as preached by Jesus of Nazareth was a work God would do; but the gospel was preached by Paul as a work God had done. See?

The gospel did not start from Matthew, because in fact, the days of Jesus of Nazareth was the days when the law was still in operation. The gospel of Jesus Christ came into effect in the Acts of the Apostles.

The rapture is not some kind of escape plan from the earth. The rapture is the maturing of saints into what Paul referred as the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. The distance between the kingdom of heaven and the earth is a matter of consciousness.

Imagine someone confessing scriptures at a given moment, that he is seated together with Christ in HEAVENly places, and the next moment you hear him praying to God that he wants to make heaven. Religious confusion!

Under the new covenant, it is unlawful for the believer who has been baptised into the spirit of Jesus Christ to pay tithe. All believers are priests; priests don't pay tithe.

Why do women keep mentioning 'Godfearing' in their choice of life partner, but immediately one of us spirikoko brothers enter the picture, dem japaa?

AntiBrutus:
Story for the gods. Ain't telling any being my family issues. If it doesn't concern/affect him directly, then it is totally not his business.

There is nothing that could make you change your mind, is there? You really are one stubborn damsel .

AntiBrutus:
I can't carry my family issues/secret and tell any man called husband. Same way I won't tell my family our own issues/secrets.

Only a manipulative jerk would expect me to do otherwise. I am not stuck with one.

Your walls are thick madamé, thicker than Jericho's . But you can loose it when you begin to distinguish the shouts of joy springing forth from your heart. Don't bury it, joy is strength.

AntiBrutus:
This has nothing to do with dating jerks, I would never tell anyone- the happenings in my family. Naso see finish dey start. Never would I do that.

Okay. I'm not going to start a lecture, but it would be against the true spirit of matrimony not being able to share deep, intimate things with your partner. Only jerks will sell you out. And there is no 'see finish' in marriage.

pocohantas:
Sorry, cry if you want to. After that, learn to control your emotions. It is really shameful and disrespectful that you both decided to put up a display in the presence of his mum- but then, she is family. Hopefully she understands and truly accepts your apology.

Next time, try silence. Breathe in and out, then ignore...till you are in a good mood.

[s]Also, you should know it isn't all your personal/family issues that should be shared with your man or outsiders. You have learned the hard way, you both will settle and you will learn more. Pele[/s]

Corrected. Stop dating jerks

If 90% of cars are smuggled, the man should resign because he already declared himself a failure as Customs boss.

How old are the both of you? This sounds like some teenageship

I think there should be some kind of clause limiting the powers of the state governor to grant parole as it is capable of being abused. I know a political thug who gunned down almost seven persons at a drinking bar for daring to engage him in an argument. He was arrested and sentenced to death by hanging. But today he walks a free man because a Governor could intervene, whereas the innocent he murdered are lying in their cold graves. Nigeria still has a long way to go in enforcing justice.

Osinachi1:
Good morning all,

I found out about a Loan Scheme by the Central Bank of Nigeria for businesses in the Creative Economy - CIFI Loan ( Go to cbn.gov.ng for more)

I'm a photographer and I really need to get some funding to progress in my career right now.

Has anyone here gotten this loan? Or applied?
I want to know if it's all these Connection needing Loan? I don't know anyone na.

I made inquiries at the Bank, I was told to get a CAC first then submit along with a Business plan.

You need to act fast and get your business registered. Don't be fooled by that connection stuff. Actually there is 200billion SME fund lurking away with the CBN. As at now only 78billion have been accessed, and according to a CBN representative, its because no one is coming for it.

Now this loan you are talking about is a collateral free loan that attracts a repayment interest rate of just 9%. The clause is that 70% of the loan would go to equipment purchase, which will be paid for in the name of CBN and full ownership transferred to you when you complete payment. You can access up to 10million naira.

So what you do is go to the National Directorate of Employment in your state or any other CBN approved training centre. Tell them you want to get trained for the purpose of obtaining the CBN loan. You may be trained for free or you pay. It's the prerogative of the centre. You be trained on how to write a business plan with a format approved by CBN. After which you will be issued a certificate and an application form for the loan.

The rest is up to you in drafting out an interesting plan according to the given template. If you are successful, you will be called.

All the best!

This decision should come easy for you. Remember, we are in a third world country, so what is obtainable in developed nations is not obtainable here. I'm glad you are already on the right path. A university degree, though considered by many here as a mere paper, could open doors of opportunities for you. In other to stand a compete favourably with your mates, you need one.

Remember, your fight is different!

40-60℅ of a person's intelligence is based on genetics, the other 60-40℅ is a function of his environment.

That said, I can't tell if the mod that brought a 3-year old post to front page is very intelligent.

A 23-man committee plus 2 million naira reward to investigate the source of pages of Qur'an in a sewage . Who placed me in same country with these dimwits?

Maybe it's outraging, but it doesn't come very surprising. It's the Islam dominated north. Those guys have a penchant for violence.

Realbarc:
A question for you.

Eve ate from the tree....
Adam also are from the tree.

So Adam had sex with Satan?

STAY AWAY FROM OLD WOMEN FABLE....

Please read my OP again. Eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil had nothing to do with having sex. It was a fellowship. By fellowship I mean sharing in the knowledge of good and evil. In other words Adam started to look to a light different from what was ordained for him. That light was the corrupted light of the cherub known as Lucifer. That light was sin.

Reno made an intelligent discourse here, but the core point he is making may not be entirely true. To gain accurate understanding, there may be need for a lengthy discourse, which I will try to summarize here.

First, he was right when he said there was no literal tree. The account of Genesis 1, 2 was given by Moses and he obtained it by revelation. So many of the words he used were symbolic, possibly for want of appropriate words to use in conveying what he had seen. And I believe Moses only gave a summary of what he had seen. So we can treat the account the way we take the book of Revelations. Highly allegorical.

So between Genesis 1:1 and verse 2, there was a passage of time. The word 'in the beginning' was not the very beginning of God in his estate. It was the beginning of Eternity. Now creation and all that is in it (the heavens, earth, angels, celestial beings) are all in Eternity. Verse 2 says the earth "was" without form and void. The word translated "was" there is best interpreted as "become", "being". But when God created eternity, the earth was not void. The word "void" could be interpreted to mean wasteland, corrupted, desolate. The reason for this was because of the event that took place between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2.

Now Satan in his original estate was a cherub of very high rank. He was called a morning star, and his name was Lucifer. If you study scriptures, you will understand that cherubs were like gates or portals guarding a particular realm of glory hidden in eternity. What we refer to as earth was part of the region within which he had jurisdiction. So when he sinned, all the realms he was guarding became wasted. This was the reason for the work of the Spirit of God in verse 3. Darkness was upon the face of the deep. I'm coming, I'm making a point here.

So God placed man in Eden and asked him to exercise dominion on the earth. So there was a plan. The plan was for Adam to recover the rest of the fallen estate within which Satan had jurisdiction. Now understand that Eden was a spiritual city. It's not like anything we see here. Also the first man Adam was an intelligent being and he was placed in the garden to grow in knowledge till he attains immortality like God. The tree in the midst of the garden was not a physical tree. It was a form of life, and Moses used the word tree to capture it. It was the corrupted light of the Cherub, Satan. It was the human desire to explore more than what committed that made Eve fellowship in that knowledge and call Adam in with her. The tree of life was also knowledge, and it was what Adam was designed to come into.

This is why Paul continually echoed to the believers in his epistles, that having being saved, they come to the knowledge of the truth. This is the stare where your mind and consciousness is so woven with the knowledge of life in you that your body begins to resonate with same frequency until it is swallowed up in immortality.

So the fall had nothing to do with having sex. It was Adam fellowshipping with the knowledge of sin that brought about it. Sin is the corrupted light of a cherub.

Hmmm...its been a while, sometimes the body forgets. Don't rush her...just court her all over again. Those kisses, those tracing the spine with kisses, those eyes staring, the cuddling, the gifting, the tripping, the smoscching...hmmm ...
