Lovely!

Abeos:
Love this

Me too

I don't know who I pity more: the young unhappy bride or the poor groom. How will he consummate the marriage? He has just entered a begging phase of his life.
I hope they survive it

I am tired of going to church. Not been to that place for 3 weeks now cos they don't have message to preach. All we hear is motivational talks which can easily be gotten online from Robert kiyosaki and Donald Trump.. lolxz. We are experiencing serious scarcity of the word of God. We don't hear of rapture, heaven, hell, sanctification, holy ghost baptism, evangelism, Trinity, great tribulation, Christ's millennial reign, restitution, holy living, etc. Now all we hear is pay Ur tithe, u cannot prosper without tithe etc. If we acquire all the wealth and material tinz of this world, it means the pastors are lying to us abt heaven. They don't care abt heaven again because they are not sure there's a heaven. It is the truth I am saying. The only 1% that are still consistent in preaching the truth are pple like W.F Kumuyi and Gbile Akanni and a few others. We need God in Africa cause we don't know Him.

If you want to hear the old fashioned Gospel of salvation, holiness and righteousness, go to Apostolic Faith Church at Anthony Village Lagos. They teach and preach salvation, sanctification, holy Ghost baptism, restitution, eternal heaven and hell, millennial reign, no divorce and remarriage etc

No collection plates are passed. No donations.
Just the pure undiluted word of God preached to those who genuinely want to make heaven

Why do I feel so happy with this? Very refreshing!

The Unprecedented Level of Patience Shown to Buhari---the ECONOMIST

Nigerians have never shown such level of patience and tolerance towards any of their past leaders for his record and strange policies as that shown to their current leader, Muhammadu Buhari – a former military dictator now self-confessed democrat who said he came to fight corruption.

Buhari, 75, is being plagued with failures across every single sector in the economy, the like as has never been seen before. Less than a year into office, the economy plummeted into recession, an economy which had till then grown at an average rate of 7% in previous years (2011-2014). The nation’s currency lost 70% of its value, unemployment rose from 6.5 to 26%, commodity prices tripled across many quarters and the state-regulated premium motor spirit prices were hiked by 67% without practically anybody batting an eye.

There have been stern opposition to his policies however and to his very personality as well, notably in the South East and South- South regions in the country as they are called, where he both received less than 5% of the votes cast at the last Presidential election and where he has always been sternly unpopular for his history of bigotry against the people, perceived incompetence and dictatorial tendencies. But in many other regions across the country the people have rather resolved to suffer patiently, drawing up excuses for him at will, blaming everyone including his hundreds of political appointees, anything and anybody but never the man himself.

But in many other regions across the country the people have rather resolved to suffer patiently, drawing up excuses for him at will, blaming everyone including his hundreds of political appointees, anything and anybody but never the man himself.

Buhari’s party, the APC, promised Nigerians unprecedented swiping changes in government and the eviction of all corrupt individuals.
One possible explanation for this could be his party’s hope narrative in the 2015 General election where citizens were promised an unprecedented crackdown on corruption and the abolition of all government waste by a man whose financial worth they declared to have been less than N30million ($150,000 then), a historical low for a former top official in the country and most especially a former leader.

In a country plagued by acute corruption problems and with the unremitted crude oil revenue scandal of 2014 still fresh in the people’s minds, many were eager for an abrupt change, the like as never been seen before. He was seen an army general, already experienced in government, with a great strength of will, tough to take on the nation’s cabal of hardened criminals. He promised to appoint only technocrats to head the country’s departments and to see out the lingering Boko Haram insurgency from the warfront. For a nation lacking basic amenities such as power supply in spite of its huge energy resources and with the lingering insurgency crises, the choice seemed easy to many- the general with integrity was the man for the country.

Talk was cheap then but now reality has taken its course. His earliest opponents pointed out to his track record and not to his speech, noting that the last time Nigeria fell into dismal failure, currency woes and commodity shortages was when he had seized power as a military general in 1983 and stating that the facts of that record contradicted the poems of his image brokers.

Many however just wanted “change” as it was then called and so voted the General and sat to wait for the sung promises. But from the onset of his government, the course was as his critics had predefined: Incompetency, bigotry and dictatorial tendencies plaguing the country.

He ignored the newly born genocide in the middle belt of the country perpetuated by the Fulani herdsmen of his kindred against the Christian communities in Benue, Plateau and later on Kaduna. He breached the Central Bank’s 2007 Act of Independence, telling it to suspend forex disbursements to steel importers and other manufacturing sectors in a bid to defend the Naira, a disastrous action which kick-started a spiral of recession.


He took 3 months to appoint his Chief of Staff, 6 months to appoint a cabinet and now 23 months and yet counting to appoint heads of agencies and board members he was so eager to fire upon his assumption into office and rose import duties on the most basic of commodities in a bid to raise government revenue.

And as for the corruption fight, the facts on ground do not show any one at all. Apart from a few officials harassed or imprisoned without court order, the country is yet to witness the first victim of the said campaign at the court stands.

Government waste is on the rise, officials publicly caught in graft acts were swiftly excused, the 2016 Budget year passed without implementation and most worrisome, the Central Bank’s foreign reserves were being shared among unknown Bureau De Change operators at variable rates at the detriment of critical manufacturing, business and banking sectors.

The government continues to praise itself but the people seem to be increasingly tired of the paraded self-righteousness. The President’s recent illness was greeted with cheers by many. Many are just tired of the government. But the remarkable level of patience shown so far has been unprecedented and many a times the general reactions towards acts of constitutional violations was one of calmness or insensitivity.

If the Change narrative of the 2015 election and the songs of man of integrity are to account for this, then Nigerians may have just certified themselves on the world map as a nation easy to fool with propaganda. An adult should be judged on his track record not on his tongue.

Culled from The Economist

Sources! Sources! Sources! How many sources are there in this write-ups? And they all remain anonymous!

VULCAN:
The level of insults and intolerance you display to those that dont share your beliefs is no surprise to me.

Long ago I observed that the 3 most intolerant groups in the world are gay rights groups, islamic fundamentalists and atheists.

These groups go to bed at night angry that the whole world dares to believe differently from them. They wake up in the morning determined to attack said people wherever they can find them.

You will find so much hate spewing from these groups and their primary target is Christianity.

They believe that Christianity should be wiped out but we know where all those that believed same ended up in the past 2000 years.

Carry on, throw your best punch. We have seen far worse and still came out on the other side.

Thanks for your observation. The arrogance and insolence is unnerving.
If you choose not to believe in God, why look down on others who do? Why label them as cretins or imbeciles?
If you think homosexuality is it for you, why ram your orientation down people's throats? We heterosexuals don't go round announcing our status and asking for sympathy and understanding.
The only explanation I can make is that these three groups know that they are wrong and are desperately seeking for ways to justify themselves.
Many atheists are coming in contact with the one true God. So there is hope.

I think surgery should be the last resort.
I've had pile for years.
I am managing it with Anusol cream and a good vegetable diet

Very immature attitude!
You shout 'back to sender' to an angry husband?
Whatever happened to keeping quiet and walking away? Whatever happened to coming to him when emotions have come down to gently explain to him?
He doesn't need to be your husband to deserve a soft answer. Will you shout back to sender to your colleague at work? Won't you lose your job?
We are all civil and polite to outsiders and then very nasty to the people we claim to love.

Did you control your temper or walk out and he shouted 'vagabond' after you ten times?

When I read posts like yours, I pray for my two sons. May God deliver them from foolish wives who don't know that the best way to handle an angry person is to say nothing

Please @badassprodigy op, do you know the designer of their shirts? I love the quality and need the person's service

Fresh family goals. Thank God Mama is still alive

Poor misguided child!

Haters spotted, brown roof

No hater. I love Biafra even though I think a bigger Nigeria should be a better Nigeria

What or where is Anambration?

Please could you just correct the topic?

Wonderful development in the land of the rising sun

When a whole doctor committed suicide yesterday. They must have a different definition of happiness from mine

SalamRushdie:
He has started pressing the wrong button already as usual with the second extension of the tenure of his friend the perm sec , with the unnecessary closure os Abuja airspace to private choppers at a time when all should be done to mitigate easy commute from KD or Minna airport to Abuja as a result of his poor decision to move air services to KD when better options existed ..already he has failed to call to order his reckless Customs boss over his myopic plan to put more financial pressures on everyday Nigerians for failures of the customs to collect it's duty in the past .

Really?

Wow

He moves on with his life leaving this wrecked family to grieve forever
Adultery is never a wise thing to do. The price is high. It doesn't lessen if it's done by a man or a woman

very informative article

Very beautiful black woman. She looks wholesome

MZ just spoilt this Christmas for NL atheists.
But it is a good experience. Ultimately each person is responsible and accountable for their belief system. I know that misery loves company so it feels good to have successful people share your persuasion but you have to independently validate your beliefs.
Now the foremost atheists are jumping ship...
Bill Gates and now MZ

Even the poster boy for atheism, Richard Dawkins says he now accepts that there is intelligent design! Too bad for those he had deceived!

Many more will change their minds quietly in times of sickness, bereavement, aging or death

God bless you for the "bolded". You just ministered to me. I'm definitely going to pray now and it will be my only request.
You are God sent.
Pls pray with/for me if you can.

Happy Christmas , my dear friend. I do remember you in prayers asking God to lead you to a personal experience of Himself.
I will be glad if you get in touch

She stabbed her husband. I wish she had ended it there. The husband owes her fidelity not the other woman

fkdmods:
I swear, this is probably the dumbest topic i have seen yet on Nairaland. The OP should change his ID to "captain obvious". Even the first point is ridiculous. "Ensure you have a land". As if you would build a house in space. Smh.

on the contrary, I find this very interesting and educative. I like it that he is recommending using an architect and not a draftsman. Last week, I entered a house where you need a torchlight to climb the stairs by 2pm. In another building, ventilation is so poor that even the fan gives hot air. I wonder whether the owners were saving cost by allowing non-architects to design for them. Imagine spending so much to build an un-liveable house!

Well done, op

So Rabi Isma has finally married! We were once colleagues and she swore she didn't want matrimony or babies

Good to hear! I was already fretting

Me-I'm an average person who tries to live life the best way I can. My MAJOR flaws according to my husband is that I like things being done right as much as possible. For examples,; if we have plan to do anything-savings, paying school fees, keeping secrets, etc. I expect us to live up to our word on such matters except we both agree to change things. My husband feels I am difficult and impossible because I won't condone wrong doing and i like things being done appropriately.(i understand mistakes but not persistent wrong doing).

I think this is where your problem lies. You have such a fixated idea on how things should be. In marriage, that is a sure recipe for sadness : you can't always be right and happy at the same time. You have expectations of how your in laws should treat your people. Who gave you such rigid ideas?
Your marriage is still young. Come down from your high horse. Lower your expectations of your husband and his family. People don't need to fit into OUR sense of rationality or logicality. We can't fit into theirs anyway. We accept people for who they are not how we want them to be.
Sorry about your dad!
