You will never know how messed up Nigeria is until:

1) you have a police case and require the services of security personnels.

2) you fall sick from an illness that is neither malaria or typhoid.

3) you graduate from University and begin job hunting.

4)you have a court case with a politician or highly placed personality.

5) when you drive from Lagos to Kano and will have to budget a bribe of 10,000 naira to share to police, SARS, NDLEA, ARMY, MOPOL, civil defense, and vigilante.

6) when you carry an accident victim to a hospital and you are arrested as suspect or forced to pay before the victim receives even first aid

7) when Abdullahi, Mohammed or one of his northern brothers decide to kidnap you, your wife or relative, around kaduna-abuja road and you are forced to pay all those millions on which your confidence is built as ransom to some illiterate bandits overnight!

When Kunle, femi or one of his southwestern brothers finally lay their hands on your old mothers sensitive banking information, and wipe out her life's saving in less than a minute!

9) Or finally, when chukwudi from onitsha sells you repackaged expired drugs, fake lucozade boost, even manually corked bottled water to take the fake drugs...and when you complain of complications, he refers you to Ikechukwu his brother to give you a more potent expired animal drug...

Friends, it's easy to sit in a beer parlour, eating isi-ewu, cat fish and pepper soup with cold bottles of drinks in the company of emotionally broken girls and feel Nigeria is the bomb!!! Many of us don't even realize our average life expectancy has droped to 53.4 (the lowest in west africa) we have become the poverty capital of the world, all our refineries are performing below 25%
in efficiency, we are Africa's largest market yet our youths are unemployed, our constitution was drafted like a slave trade receipt, so unity is more important than justice! Nigeria is joke.

The dude made the best decision in his life (especially for his kids) to leave this country...what is one million naira without basic amenities in place?
If you ever get the opportunity to leave....please, don't give your village people a chance.

I feel like crying

THE HIGHEST OF FOOLS, IS THE MAN THAT ACCEPTS AND NURTURES RUBBISH CLAIMS THAT HAS NEVER AND PROBABLY CAN NEVER BE PROVEN IN ANYWAY.


DON'T TELL ME I'M GOING TO HELL BECAUSE I'M NOT BOUND BY YOUR DUMB THEOLOGY.

WHAT YOU CALL FACT, IS THE UNACCEPTABLE NONSENSE THAT ONLY INSENSIBLE AND WEAK MEMBERS OF THE SOCIETY, UNABLE TO EXAMINE THINGS THEMSELVES ACCEPT AND HOLD ON TO FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.

And the insolence continues! You throw insults like water.
Your level of intolerance for contrary opinion is mind- boggling. For daring to disagree with you, the other person is 'rubbish', 'dumb', ' nonsense' ' insensible' and ' weak'.
I ask your gracious wisdomness, what have you invented or produced with your great wisdom. You produce only insults.

LordReed:
Fix your link, it doesn't work.

Apologies! Please type Richard Dawkins and Intelligent Design on YouTube. It's a short clip, so don't fear for your data

LordReed:
BTW

Dawkins is known as an outspoken atheist. He is well known for his criticism of creationism and intelligent design.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Dawkins

That was before. Human beings change or modify their views based on experience and increased knowledge.
That's why you must take your stand on issues and not just join the bandwagon.
Dawkins can make his peace with his Creator at the point of death and step into heaven while his gullible followers will not.
Every aboki with im kettle.

These eternal security people and their false hopes!
So Saul who prophesied never knew God! So those that committed suicide like Saul and Judas Iscariot are in heaven?

I would have refrained from contributing, but I might help some confused Christians.

Whether New or Old Testament, the Bible is one. No Scripture is of private interpretation.
The righteous can't claim righteousness when he sins. There are no sinning Christians. If you commit sin, you become a child of the devil and must ask God to forgive you again before you become His child again.

Please Christians, eternity is at stake. Read the Bible, not just interpretations of the Bible given by your pastor. We already have the syllabus which will be used in examining us, so we don't have excuse.
Run away from any preaching that condones or minimizes the awfulness of sin.
There's no religion in heaven: only righteous people

1 Timothy 4:16 KJV
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

backbone503:
This Christian doctrine of "fearing God" is something I am at great variance with. You can and should never fear something you love. However you wish to brand the term: "fear", God is to be loved and NEVER feared.

There are different kinds of fear. There is filial fear. I have my old mother. I fear making her unhappy. She can't flog me for disobeying her (I hope she doesn't try!)

We love God so much that we fear displeasing Him

CAPSLOCKED:
I SHOULD ALSO BELIEVE THAT WITHOUT EVIDENCE? NO SOURCE. NOTHING.

RICHARD DAWKINS, I CAN BET MY LIFE WILL NEVER ACCEPT THE CREATION HOAX.

KNOW WHO WILL ACCEPT YOUR BIBLE AND RELIGION?
BRAINWASHED, INDOCTRINATED AND SUPERSTITIOUS PEOPLE (MOSTLY AFRICANS).

Information, son!
Seek for it and come back and refute my claims. Being so wise and not brainwashed, or indoctrinated or superstitious, you should know how to look for information.

An unsolicited advice? Try to be more courteous. Truly wise people are humble and not puffed up with their knowledge. But empty vessels make the loudest noise.

With the wonderful level of knowledge which you have attained by disdaining the Bible and its believers, I'm yet to hear of your groundbreaking patents and inventions. You and I are still living our pedestrian, insignificant life in this backward village.

Please channel your great wisdom to what will benefit humanity. Don't use it to rain abuses on people's belief system simply because you don't agree with it.
Have a great Sunday.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and to discover the prisoner was you.

Loud it bro!!!!!
You're not doing it just because God commanded it. You are giving yourself a wonderful gift

May God in his infinite mercy bless the writer,the one that copy&paste and those that have a hand in pushing this to Front Page
For the past two months and 1 day to be precise
I have been through a lot,I am of the belief that forgiveness by many Christian is just to favour the "doer" or the party that commit the offence
You haer something like "God ask us to forgive those who forgive us,
" Children of God must forgive"
Forgive and forget e.t.c
Last week in church I fankly say it "openly"
Did God say you should break people,betray them ,kill their joy,and make them lose their happiness
If you so called self acclaimed Christian love you neighbours as your self,will you kill their happiness and joy
This is my situation
I woke up again this morning, decided to just go out

Here iam again,the normal cycle
Thinking about the pains,anguish and hurt caused by this person
My body and soul is at variance on whether to forgive this person
One moment I feel it is cool,the other moment I am acting and re-acting the combination and magnitude of hatred I think this person deserves
This became so heavy on me,I had to pick up my phone .......straight to Nairaland and lol...indeed God is great

God the author of our faith knows the innermost thoughts of our heart
Thank you Jesus,Thank you holy Ghost
This time as you said "nothing to hide for God
I will tell him and he will surely bless me with peace
His grace endureth forever

Amen!
Let me add something that might encourage you more. When you let go of the bitterness, guess who's the greatest beneficiary? Yourself!
Carrying an unforgiving attitude is like drinking poison and hoping another person will die. The person who hurt you so deeply is freely enjoying his life while you're dying inside. You don't deserve to do that to yourself. Release yourself from that prison

unstoppable51:
Would you mind reading the explanation on why that first point is a myth again? This time SLOWLY sir

My position is that it is not a myth. It is the Truth as spoken by our Lord Jesus Christ. Your explanation is uncalled for.

Eternal destinies depend on forgiveness, because nobody will approach heaven with any unforgiveness .

1 Timothy 4:16 KJV
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

I OBSERVED, FROM STUDYING GEOGRAPHY AND BEING AWARE OF THE HAPPENINGS WITHIN THE LAST CENTURY, THAT THERE ARE FANCIER TYPES OF MOUNTAINS CALLED VOLCANO MOUNTAINS... CREATED BY GOD TO ERUPT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, CAUSING DESTRUCTION OF INNOCENT HUMAN AND ANIMAL LIVES, AND ALSO PROPERTIES WHICH INCLUDES CHURCHES, AND HOSPITALS THAT ARE MEANT TO CATER FOR THESE HELPLESS PEOPLE.


I ALSO OBSERVED SOME OF GODS AMAZING BLESSINGS IN FORM OF FLOODS, EARTHQUAKES AND TSUNAMIS.
THEY SHOW UP UNEXPECTEDLY AND PROVIDE ALL THE ENTERTAINMENT FOR YAHWEH WHEN HE'S WATCHING PEOPLE SUFFER AND DROWN, AND DIE. AMONG THESE PEOPLE ARE CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN 6 WHO CANNOT PROTECT OR SAVE THEMSELVES.

BUT GOD IS LOVE.



IF A FOOL CAN GET IT RIGHT, BUT YOU CAN'T...
THEN YOU HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM, AS THE "FOOL" IS A HUNDRED TIMES MORE INTELLIGENT THAN YOU.




SUCH AN ARCHAIC REASONING. WE'RE NOT IDĮOTS ON THIS FORUM.

A CØCK CROWING OR A LION ROARING IS THE EVIDENCE YOU HAVE FOR THE EXISTENCE OF YOUR OWN FAVORITE GOD (YAHWEH)... LOL. BELIEFS TRULY DUMB PEOPLE DOWN.

You're still growing son. Many have said and written worse, but ate their words later.
People change and modify their beliefs as they progress. When sh*t hits the fan, people seek for answers and lean towards what gives them assurance.

Even the poster boy for atheism Richard Dawkins now accepts intelligent design.
I pray you find the peace and purpose you're looking for

The day I made peace with God. I had been feeling condemned and miserable but as I confessed the bad things I had done to God in a private prayer and promised Him I won't go back to them, I felt such indescribable joy.
More education has come, the dream job, the kids, the house/houses and a few odd millions have all come.
But nothing matches the joy of that day.
That experience reminds me everyday that God is real

fasho01:
Was hoping to read this and find closure but I didn't. I just hope with time, as they say it heals all wounds, I'll end of forgiving my friend who betrayed me at 4be worst of times. Nice read by the way

I hope you know that forgiveness is a choice, not just a feeling. You CHOOSE to let go and keep reminding yourself of that choice even when the negative feelings intrude. Take those feelings to God in prayer, until your heart aligns with your head

I'm sorry to say this, but your explanation of the first myth is wrong. It's not a myth. It's Biblical. Jesus said if you refuse to forgive others, you forfeit your own forgiveness. Period. Don't water down a commandment of the Lord.

Is it easy? No. But if you intend to go to heaven, you must meet the conditions. You can't harbour grievances and resentments and still approach a holy God Who richly forgave you of adultery, murder and other heinous sins. Knowing just how much we've been forgiven should make us extend the same graciousness and mercy to others. As Jesus is, so are we in this world

Ruddyman:
Good one OP , but I don't think you started clearly how to wage warfare prayers with RESULT HERE..

I thought I was the only one that couldn't make sense of what he wrote.
Christianity isn't gibberish or eccentricity.
Matt 7:7 Ask and it shall be given you. Period

Writing/taking notes helps you not to fall asleep

Ufuoma Bernard told a story of how his friend was killed. In his story, one can see the manifestation of a woman's two sides. With time, I have come to know that when a woman loves a man, she does it with her heart and when she hates a man, that hatred is total and irreversible. I might be wrong on this, but overtime, I have drawn some facts from practical issues. Let me hear from you on this so that I can be a bit more accurate.
The story below can be of help.

My friend and Pharmacist allegedly killed by the wife. Alloy Is Dead.

Alloy my amiable friend and health provider is dead. I met Alloy in 2009 when I moved to the Oyigbo Expressway axis of Port Harcourt and we were friends at first sight. Alloy is from Ehime Mbano and the owner of the biggest pharmacy at the Oyigbo Expressway axis.
I can remember vividly our first day of meeting. I had a stubborn cough and have been to the Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital but was still coughing. Alloy listened to the dry irritating cough and prescribed Beehive Honey cough syrup and some antibiotics and I was relieved.

Alloy and I became friends and over the years I bought my drugs and toiletries from him and we hanged out with a bottle of wine and pepper soup from time to time.

Alloy is blessed with an affable wife and four beautiful kids. He's quite comfortable and travels abroad several times a year for fun and business.

Trouble started when Alloy's older sister had accommodation crisis and she had to move in with the Alloys. Alloy's wife vehemently refused that the sister stay in the guest house. Alloy's house is a three bedroom bungalow with a two bedroom guest house behind. The guest house is vacant but his wife insisted that the sister and kids should keep their properties there but sleep in the sitting room of the bungalow. Alloy pleaded with her to allow the sister stay in the guest house but the wife refused insisting that staying in the guest house would make her stay permanently with them and that sleeping in the living room will make her aware she's a guest.

Alloy registered the wife in a gym as she was getting out of shape and the schedule was three days in a week. Since January this year she goes to the gym daily. This is a woman Alloy bought a 2013 Toyota Corolla sedan for and gives a handsome monthly allowance. She lacks for nothing. Monday to Saturday she'll never be at home obviously staying away from the house because of Alloy's older sister. Alloy had gotten an estate agent to look for a two bedroom apartment for her. Anyway on April 1st Alloy went to the gym to see her personal trainer and asked why the change of schedule and why the wife will be at the gym six days in the week. The gym management denied any change of schedule and insisted that she only comes to the gym three days a week.

When Alloy got home he confronted his wife.
" I was at the gym today and I was told you only go there three days in a week. Why are you lying? Why do you go the other days?"
"So, it has reached this stage where you are monitoring me?" the wife shot back.
"Tell me what's happening or are you cheating on me?" Alloy angrily demanded.
"You're calling me a harlot abi? You yeye man".
The wife lurched at Alloy and held him in the neck and Alloy wriggled himself out of her grip and slapped her. Immediately Alloy knelt down begging her.
"I'm sorry for slapping you. In twelve years of marriage I have never hit you. You were choking me and I was losing my breath. Abeg."
"I'll never forgive you. Useless man. I'll deal with you. You'll know I'm an Umuahia woman".

Alloy's older sister and Alloy's pastor from Redeemed Church were called by Alloy to beg her but she was still fuming and baying for blood.

The next day as Alloy was driving to the gate of his compound at about 6pm in the evening four young men intercepted him and dragged him out of his Toyota Prado SUV and one of them said, "So, you are not afraid. You beat up our sister. We'll deal with you." The four miscreants beat Alloy black and blue. They kicked him in the ribs and groin. At the screams of Alloy neighbors ran to the scene and the criminals fled. Alloy was rushed to the hospital and given treatment and discharged from the hospital around 10pm same day.

Alloy called me the next day and I drove down to see him at the pharmacy and he narrated the ordeal he suffered at the hands of the hoodlums the previous day. He wasn't looking too good but I never feared that the beatings he received would be fatal.

This morning Alloy woke up with a headache and a cough producing blood. He drove himself to the hospital. After a series of tests internal bleeding was diagnosed. Surgery was recommended but before he could be taken to the theater for anaesthesia and shaving he slumped and died exactly 3:36pm.

Alloy is dead.

*The wife has been arrested and handcuffed by the police and investigations have commenced into the death of Alloy.

May I suggest that you and whoever liked your post should go back and read the original post again?
What's the link between Ipob and BokoHaram/ISIS?

Chimaokigwe:
Stop comparing the Devil to Bello.

Devil only offended God,
Bello offended God, Kogi people, Igalas, Okun people offended APC, offended Pdp, offended legislature and judiciary and everyone.

People in Kogi tell you they are living in Hell and you think it's a joke? Anyone living with the devil is living in Hell.

This is really funny

Forgive and move on.
Who should 'eat' your money if not a family member.
Blood is thicker than 600k. You've alleviated their poverty and that's ok

I will go easy on arguments. Discussions? Yes. But arguments achieve little.

My opinion:
The lady looks reasonable and mature.
She must have discovered what she can never live with and decided to hurt now than enter a sham of a marriage. People who run their mouths like this young man smell fake from a mile off.
I salute her courage

FYsol:
This guy is sick. May someone rape his daughter and then offer to marry her. Then you know how it feels

Exactly my thoughts!
He violated her and wants to subject her to a lifetime of disgust.
She's still a minor.
And some people think it's right.

In the OT, virginity was high prized and no man would agree to marry such a damaged woman. The law was actually meant to protect and provide for the woman.
The situation today is quite different

victorian:
I'm not talking of forgiveness..

I'm looking at repercussions.

A child hood friend of mine, a Muslim guy married an igbo lady. He's comfortable, rich and doing well in his biz. The igbo lady is very pretty fair with Slim waist and moderate back side, which grew bigger after popping out two kids for the kids. Her backside is a sight to behold lol. Even me sef shiver when I saw her.
I was like wow! Guy u dey enjoy o! See as u take care of this woman, mehn she's over hot! And she wore clinging jeggings with top that day.

But She's faithful so after the guy married her, his biz grew, he became more richer. Later women were just wooing him and himself woo them back. He said he dated some few ladies, after like a month his biz started going down. Clients stopped coming. In fact he was so broke he couldnt renew his office and house rents. The ladies gave him space. His wife was confused.

He then went to meet his Alfa, and his Alfa checked and said he has shot himself on the foot. He was like how? I don't understand. He said the igbo lady u married, no man cheats on her and remain rich. All other ladies u were carrying, were ladies who had curses following them and ladies whose aims is to wreck men and u fell into such traps, thinking u are enjoying.
If care is not taken, your cars u will sell them one after the other and u people will be homeless.

He was like God! What has he done!

He said Alfa please help me what can I do? I'm so frustrated.

Alfa said he will do some prayers for him and he has to fast along too. Then after the weeks, biz will start coming back and he should never ever sleep with another woman apart from his wife. Or else he will be as poor as church rat!
And what else again does he want? He has a pretty dutiful wife, she has bore him boys and girls and she's still young.. She's just 26years old. He's 30years.

So what's he running after again? If he wants to be rich forget other women and focus on your home.

My dear this guy no dey look woman face again o

He's rich again. And focused than ever. He told me himself.

The Alfa is the real McCoy!
He should be educating families

CodeTemplar:
hmmm.... I used to respect this man a lot for the reforms he brought to the university system.

Me too!
I'm shocked at this

But Abacha wasn't corrupt

Interesting!
Glad to know about those making it using Instagram

I believe
