Pojomojo: Life isn't all about money, sometimes you need friends who can go down on their knees and join you in prayers.
If you have not been praying, I encourage you to start and make it a habit.
I thought I lost him to the cold hands of death when I heard my mum crying over the phone.
While serving in Ondo State as a corper, my little brother got sick to the point of death.
My allawe(salary) was the only source of income for me and my family then and when my brother got sick, I had no option but to send more than half of my salary home every month end.
Sometimes I get to borrow to send home before the month ends so they can manage with what they have.
One faithful day, my dad called and his tone wasn't sounding all good, I suspected something was wrong.
My little brother's temperature is very high and they are thinking of going to the hospital the next day.
Towards the evening time, I tried to check up on them again, I picked up my phone to call my Dad, and right there I heard my mum crying over the phone.
I got cold when they said he is not breathing, I became speechless and cried like a baby that evening.
I was scared of losing my baby brother. I was scared I won't be able to see him after my service year.
I was scared of the trauma my mum will go through. I was scared because I couldn't do anything to save him.
I picked up my phone to call a few of my pastor friends, cos the battle was far above me at the moment.
There's nothing scarier to me than seeing any of my family go through pains
That night, I prayed all through and the next morning, it was a different story.
Anytime I travel home, I look at this boy and all I can do is smile because we won the battle.
We all humans certainly have fear when it comes to a particular thing, but allowing this fear to take over us make us vulnerable to negative thought.
In all you are going through, don't forget the place of PRAYER cos prayer is the master key to solving that problem.
Be courageous, and have Faith that God will see you through that difficult challenge you are into.

mrksquare: Sim should first of all surrender himself to the EFCC and CCB for scrutiny. If they give him a clean bill of health then I can reckon with him.
As for your attempt at placing Sim higher than Tonye Cole, on that ground that he knows the intricacies and workings of government is really laughable.
Sim is a mere public accountant. He isn't even a chartered accountants by training. Besides his meteoric rise as Director and Accountant General was owing obstensibly to political favouritism.
As it partains to exposure, Tonye Cole is far better exposed than Sim. Tonye has the intellect, connection and refinement to be a better governor than Sim. Tonye will bring to bear his private sector experience in turning around government enterprise that were rendered moribund by Wike. Such as the Syringe factory, the Cassava factory. The metal waste to wealth factory. Already, Tonye has told us about his plans to build a digital economy in Rivers state were the rural areas will be hooked up by fiber optic cable. As Rivers state is, we have no tech hub. Most of our tech savvy youths have all relocated to Lagos.
Tonye Cole is a self made billionaire. He isn't coming to steal the way Wike has done. He isn't coming to build a palatial mansion using government finances the same way Wike did at Rumuopirokon. We need someone with a private sector background that will see governance as a business.
The problem I have with Wike is the fact that he hasn't worked under any paid employment nor managed any business before his foray into politics. This is accounting for why he has refused to promote civil servants. Nor give priority attention to human capacity development.
Sim will be one big mistake of history should he be governor. Same way Wike is one big error of history.

Almunjid: The Quebec-born Dion was raised Catholic, but as she said in a 2014 interview, her views on spirituality have evolved: “It’s important for people to have something they can touch and believe in,” she says passionately. “I say that to believe in yourself is to believe in God. For me, God is life itself, the birds, the air, the sunrise and the sunset, the children. Yes, that is where I find God. Not in a church.”
As u can see, Celine Dion's concept of God has changed over the years. She's more of a pantheist than a catholic. She believes there's God in every thing/everyone we see around us. She was unmembered in the church she usually attend owing to her adulterated concept of God. So, from where will she get the miracle from? From "The One True God" she doesn't believe in (as One God) or from people and things she finds her God in?
Shalom!
And so? God can heal her no matter what she believes in today.
dallasi: Former president of the Christians Association of Nigeria (CAN), Ayo Oritsejafor, and his wife Helen have reportedly separated after 25 years in marriage. According to reports, the popular Pentecostal pastor parted ways with his wife over a protracted and bitter misunderstanding. It was said that the Niger Delta-based self-styled ‘Bishop of Godism’, Ufuoma Bernard, Helen in a WhatsApp message earlier in 2022 accused the estranged husband of wanting her dead. She’s rumoured to be in a sizzling romance with a man for 10 years. “Helen reportedly moved out of the matrimonial home and relocated to Britain with the kids and Pastor Oritsejafor has moved back to the house after abandoning it for almost a year,” Bernard said. Oritsejafor is the founding and Senior Pastor of Word of Life Bible Church, located in Warri, Delta State. He became the national president of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria (PFN) on 7 February 2005, a position he held for five years. In July 2010, Oritsejafor was elected President of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), the apex body of all Christians in the country. In doing so he became the first Pentecostal leader to hold the position.
Time to go their separate ways. the rate of divorce these days eeehn
Welcome back Ishilove, we haven't seen you on the forum since October. Fynestboi, came out of his long absence and post, few weeks ago. Nice that you are back.
Prophet Samuel Kakande from Uganda's Synagogue Ministries is looking to start the new year with a new vehicle, and he says the congregation will buy him.
During his latest livestream, the man of God indicated that the vehicle he is currently driving was bought by believers, but it has since become old and needs to be replaced.
He was categorical that only those who love him should join the course so that he gets a good vehicle and that the Lord Jesus will reward them.
"I want only 300 dollars from each one. We’ll contribute, and then buy a good vehicle. I drive while I pray for you. What’s wrong with that?" he preached.
He quoted Luke Chapter 6, which says, “give and it shall be given to you, pressed down and in good measure.”
Okoliogechi: Is it possible to change from medicine to computer science after 100lv in uni
Your terminology is wrong. If you are leaving Medicine and surgery in Faculty of Clinical sciences to computer science in Faculty of pure and applied sciences, it is called INTER-FACULTY TRANSFER. Yes, you can transfer but in some cases you will have to resume afresh in computer science 100level.
favor914: Surprised to see the Itsekiri man there, guess it is a Niger Delta movement?, not forgetting Urhobos have about 2 or 3 dominated LGs in Baylesa State.
Pdp most likely in the presidential election, will win the state, followed by APC.
mrksquare: Justice Emmanuel Obile, Wike's hatchet judge will be put to shame in the days ahead.
The only institution that can safe guard our beleaguered democracy is the judiciary. But it is unfortunate that we have characters like Emmanuel Obile, Turaki Mohammed and Delop Pam as judges.
Judges should be an embodiment of morally and should at all times live above board. Any judge that is genuflecting to the whims of the executives isn't fit to be called a judge.
Na Dumo own go sweet me pass. Why is wike afraid of the opposition parties?
Ofodirinwa: Recently the nigerian senate introduced Student Loans into Nigeria as a legal practice. For those who don't know, student loans allow institutions to lend students money they use to pay school fees. This is going to be a disaster in Nigeria and should be reconsidered before the damage begins.
1. Unlike societies which offer student loans, employment in Nigeria is a severe problem for graduates. Not just finding work, but finding work that pays well and is consistent. The end result is whatever loans a person takes, they're taking it under the pretense that it will lead to apt employment. But most students in Nigeria are aware that education and employment are not linked in Nigeria. The end result is you will have many students with debt and no jobs.
2. In places like the US with this system, because there is a way for people to pay that is not limited to the amount of real money they have, the cost of education will skyrocket to brutal levels. In the US the average student can expect to pay $102,000 for a university education. In 1980 it was $14,000 for the same education. What is the difference?
If students can take loans to pay for school, schools will charge higher and higher fees because students and families will accept it since the cost does not hit them at once. It's not that the US dollar depreciated that much or education improved to the point that cost over $100,000. This is simply what happens when loans finance and industry.
The end result is no US student pays for school out of pocket. It is impossible. If it happens, it is billionaires (in dollars) as millionaires even take student loans. Student loans always begin as a option, but in the end become the only choice you have due to how expensive it makes education
3. Nigeria has a higher risk of default than other countries that have the system. Nigerians don't have to stay in Nigeria. Once they leave Nigeria, odds are they will find better paying work. So somebody borrows a student loan, leaves the country, escapes the loan. The ones that stay will be burdened with having to pay it some how some way. This will come in the form of increased tuitions and if allowed increased interest.
the US who has this system has a citizenry that rarely leaves the country and almost never leaves the country to live somewhere else. When surveyed, only 16% of Americans wish to live in another country. That 16% is majority young people, meaning as they get older their opinion changes towards staying. Omo, if even 15% of Nigerians will stay in Nigeria if given the chance to leave I would be shocked. This means that the rate of payback on those loans will be extremely low. It will be free school for some, usually those with connections, and those who do not have the money and connections to leave will be stuck paying for those who refuse to pay their own.
This system is very dangerous. I hope Nigeria implements it in a way that's more intelligent and careful than the US did because it has nearly destroyed the educational system here.
ImmaculateJOE: What's your take in the presidential election..? In Bonny, Votes will be shared between PDP, APC, Accord and SDP.. For guber..
As per President, Obi takes almost all votes..
Share what? Bonny and Opobo/Nkoro are among the LGAs PDP will get 80 percent. Even Dakuku peterside that is an APC chieftain is silent ever since SIM emerged. Save this and check back after the election. Ibani-Ijaws will not make the mistake of 2015.
Raheeqilmaktoom: So, with all Wike's brigandry he is not even sure of River's governorship?
He brought in his nephew to succeed him, and the guy is unpopular. He is trying so hard via the court to disqualify the candidates of APC, Accord party,etc so that there will be little opposition and his candidate to win.
mrksquare: PDP will only win if the electorates are induced with money. Other than that it will be difficult.
Recall Amaechi performed wonderfully well but he could not deliver Dakuku. Though the election that brought in Wike was massively rigged.
With the introduction of BVAS it won't be uhuru for PDP. Even Wike knows it. That's why he came up with Executive order 21 and 22.
In a one man one vote devoid of monetary inducement it will be difficult for Sim to win.
POS of Africa will spend alot for SIM to win. Have you heard that his taskforce wants to seal Accord party's secretariat in GRA just to frustrate Dumo?
