Na post per thread is not enough sef!
They always ban me all the time, that’s why u do not see one million per post.
There is no NL rule limiting comments to a certain number. So, hold ur peace.
As for reserving tears, I think that advice should go to fellow mumus of yours on NL, always parroting Israeli LIES to justify IDF genocide and terrorists attacks against Palestinians and Lebanon.
Israel’s days are numbered
I wouldn't disagree with you that Israel's days are numbered,but I would love to have a clue as to when the terrorists countries will finally destroy them.

PS: now my assumption is confirmed, you are mentally unstable. And please go to Google, type "The Six-day War" and read. When you are done, at least you must have gained some insights. Then we can talk but if you come back to me with your Unverified clownish "Israel's days are numbered, 55 thousand deaths of IDFs, Netanyahu has been impeached and arrested, Hezbollah has invaded Israel and chased half the population into exile, without facts or proofs, you will live t quote yourself.

Funny thing is that it's your people that are getting their assess burned every day and the world is busy shouting genocide. With Hezbollah stepping up atacks, you can see that the the Palestine has lost international support. When last did you hear any body from the west calling Israel's operation a genocide?


Like I said, keep consoling yourself and I realize that mentioning you gives you the orgasm to continue. Henceforth, I will not read any of your posts, reply to you and will also tell people not to give you attention nor read your comments. That way, you will be gotten rid of😂😂🤣😂

It is obtainable in the United States of America too. Example is Trump cookies baked specifically for his political campaign. That's just an example. There so many examples, another is U.K Prime minister. We learnt all these things from them. So, why are they sharing food, perhaps its too much hunger in their country. undecided

"Vote buying is a complex issue with a long history in the US. While certain forms are clear-cut, others are more nuanced and require careful legal analysis".

After Biden won Trump. Donald Trump and his supporters never stopped shouting that it was rigged. 🤗

Why will a white man believe that a fellow white will rig election?! Imagine lol in the 21 century America. undecided

You just sounds not only naive and ignorant, but also village-like. It shows you haven't stepped your foot outside Nigeria, yet you talk like you know anything, just from what you see or read online. Lol.
Your comments are laughable...

Everything you said is a blatant lie and are rumors, just like Trump alleged that immigrants were eating people's cats and dogs and pets.

Do you think Americans are poor and hungry like Nigerians?
Do you think America politicians and leaders are as stupid and idiotic like their Nigerian counterparts?
Do you know it's a crime to bribe a person in America?
Do you know that an average American make over $40k a year?
Do you think if they were this stupid they will be this far more developed?

Whether “force” or “entity”; I still don’t know what you’re talking about.
Entity suggest a being while force is synonymous with energy and that's what I'm talking about.



The same method of acquiring knowledge that resulted in the discovery will be the same method that answers the question. Maybe when they acquire enough knowledge about dark matter and dark energy astronomy present an idea.
I said you not paying attention. What I explained was something I said the ancients proposed
So the talk of them acquiring enough knowledge about dark matter and dark energy doesn't apply to them . Mayne you want to resurrect them to teach about what's currently known in the sciences.



Which “some” have described this force or energy as intelligent? Do these “some” have any expertise in astronomy. I doubt it.

Which of the "some "did I specify for you?

You should understand that sometimes before science comes to provide rational explanation for phenomenon there are people who already have what is labeled as spiritual explanation in some quarters for the same thing but not detailed enough to be taken as scientific explanation.

For instance, long before science accepted the possiblity of neural plasticity in the brain, Buddhist monks already knew through their meditative practices that it was possible to effect changes in one's brain to change behavior or learn new things way past the age scientists once believed it was no longer possible for that to happen.

My friend, truth is not the exclusive preserve of any group . Chinua Achebe the late popular story teller, said in his book , Things fall apart " that "life is like a masquerade dance. If you want to enjoy the show you don't stand in one place "
I see that you have chosen a position from which you want to view all of life from and don't care if you "enjoy the show" like others want to . Enjoy yourself .

Oh really?! So Judaism that they borrowed from is original?
Not original in the sense you
think of . I don't need to repeat myself because I already explained what I meant by original when compared with Christianity. Christianity is a misrepresentation of Judaism and that's why adherents there don't have much regard for Christians .They mock them as foolish . And that's one of the reasons we have more Christians in your Palestine than in Israel



You didn’t explain anything nor did you mention any “authentic” or “original spiritual paths”. Whether you consider them “false” or “authentic”, at the end of the day, they are all fantastic.
I did. I mentioned initiates and non initiates. The process for initiation in these other groups is not the same as baptism in Christianity. And so , it's wrong to label them as fantastic when you have no single clue about what they do or teach their members. There"re some religious groups or spiritual paths that are almost atheistic in the way they operate . Atheist who are unaware of this fact are the ones who take delight in generalising that every religion is the same. Modern Buddhism,for instance has no concept of a supreme deity they belief in or worship and there's also no hell fire.But most atheist here like to talk of a Buddhist God or hell when trying to compare it with Christianity . I read that almost all the time here. Visit most of the threads created by atheist on this board to criticize religion in general and see how they only focus on Christianity or Islam because that's the only thing they know and are familiar with . Even ATR in their backyard they don't know.




Of course there is congruence. Since it’s all made up, some will naturally agree with each other while others disagree.
"Yes, they're all made up but not made up exactly the same way for you to generalise about them . I think you just don't want to accept that apart from Islam or Christianity, there's nothing much you know of any other spiritual paths or religion.

If you know ,I will see it. . What you have been doing is to reference the Christianity and its practices each time you want to give an example of what a religion or spiritual path should be. I am yet to see any evidence that you know much apart from Christianity.



Claims like the above are simply jargon unless you explain these “forces in nature” and how these people “align themselves through certain ritual practices”.
I’m aware of a few personifications of nature represented in religion and if I were to give an example, I wouldn’t write vaguely like you did.
.But of course, what you know about those representations is what you have read from a book or Googled which is not enough to make you understand it the way it should be understood.

2. I never wrote vaguely, but only talk about it from the surface level. I mentioned ATR as the place to go to if you want to know how people through spiritual practices align themselves with certain forces in nature and what they truly believe in different from what the public assumes. You don't expect me to detail for you what I have been privileged to know through close association on a public forum like this, what they keep as close guarded secret. That will be irresponsible behaviour and a betrayal of trust. If you want to know get closer to them, and if need be get an initiation so all is reveal to you and be shocked about what others know that you don't



I’ve undertaken enough investigation to know that Judaism or ART isn’t less fantastic than the others. There is no hierarchy of validity in religion so your ridiculous veneration of judaism is absurd.
If you have truly undertaken enough investigation of ATR, you won't say some of the things you have said so far here. I didn't describe ATR as anything. I only mentioned it to highlight the fact that what they believe in and practice is unlike Judaism which you assume I am venerating and placed above every other one. I don't rate Judaism as much as you think.



The Catholic happen to be the most successful of these ideas and my use of them is because of the well know pomp and pageantry. They are the perfect example of pretending that the mundane is profound. I could use the rabbinate and their Midrash as another example of such behavior since you value Judaism so much
You mentioned the Catholic Church because that's the only one you think is closer to what I have explained.

If I value Judaism so much as you assume,I would to everything to join them . But I'm not interested. There's a reason I mentioned them and I don't need to repeat myself. Or have you forgotten so soon how this conversation started?




It’s all bullshit! That’s the point. The so called imitation secrets do not matter
You don't have any access to it and so not in a position to qualify as nonsense what you don't know about .



It doesn’t matter what they do secretly or if they confirm or deny. I don’t care what the initiates of Judaism believe when I know their claims are fantastic. And if they also acknowledge “secretly” that their claims are fanciful, then the only people they are fooling would be the laity and other gullible people.
1. Judaism is not a perfect example of what I have been explaining
When I talked of initiation secrets I never had judaism in mind but AT R and some other paths i haven't mentioned . There's not much hidden in judaism. What they believe in and practice is for the most part accessible to the public..

I will remind you again that the only reason I mentioned Judaism was to let you know they have a different viewpoint to biblical narratives recorded in the old testament. That's all.

2.



So the initiates are conmen? Yea?

Hehehehe. No they're not that, but people who have earn the right to know certain secrets about life which they use for their own benefit and others close to them.

But no one claims Snow White, Macbeth, Harry Potter are real. No one creates and sustains conflict using them as support neither so they are poor comparisons.
That's exactly the point I'm driving at but you're not paying attention and like distracted student in class you have gotten it all wrong . The originator of the stories in the Bible never meant for their work to be taken as literally true. Christians were the ones who started the nonsense of giving a literal interpretation to what they shouldn't and that's why groups like the creationist movement have sprung up on and been searching stupidly for evidence of the garden of Eden in the middle east.

But the ideas in Judaism such as the “promised land” nonsense can be taken literally (like the apartheid state does) or “symbolically” like the OP claims he does.

The promised land claims in Judaism has been used and still being used for land grabbing by political leaders in Israel. I believe it's not the same thing the Op has in mind. I'm familiar with what he wants to discuss about the "symbolic promised land"to from having read about it in a book very long time ago. I may be wrong though. It's possible he has another interpretation. So let's hear from him first before jumping into conclusions.

You asked why did the other poster reference Peter Obi instead of the others and I told you why.

Obi currently talks the most of the losing candidates by far, it makes sense that people talk about him the most currently and not the others.

There is nothing wrong with it. Bubu and President Tinubu are currently not opposition, what's your point?

When did Buhari say he won't contest because ANPP lost election


When did Atiku say he won't contest again because ACN lost election


When did Ojukwu say he won't contest again because APGA lost election

Even Falaye did not have problems because he lost as AD candidate and PDP swept the SW.

The analogy does not make sense. That's what the OP suggests

budaatum:


Funny people, are some.

I once had a cousin stay with me in my one bed and living room in UK, and gave up my bed for him because he had stinky shoes and snored. Whenever I cooked, he'd ask me if I'd eaten my portion and all the rest was his. I got a phone bill of over £200, and on checking the numbers called found it was him calling his friend in US, which he denied, stupidly not knowing about itemised bills.

One day, I went to market, bought fish and Guinness and went home to cook rice, and as I was eating my cousin came home.

"Ah, good", he said, "like you knew I was hungry. Have you taken enough for yourself?"

"No", said I, "I surely haven't. I plan to eat it all by myself and drink all my Guinness myself too. And when I'm done, I'd like you to sit down so we can talk".

After eating all I could and rubbing my belly while he sat and watched me, I asked him if someone had told him my family owes his family, like if the dowry my father paid was not enough or something (his is my maternal side), and they've told him to come collect from me.

"Oh", said he, "I thought government gave you all for free being as you are citizen".

"Seriously?" I asked, angry and livid. "Like you don't see me doing night shifts 5 days a week to buy the food you been eating and pay the rent so a roof is over your head?"

We sat down and negotiated he pay half rent, buy his own food and never ever touch my phone again without my permission.

My younger sister joined us a couple of months later, and he sat down with her to share the house bills, and when ma and my other sisters joined us much later he did the same with them all.

Funny that by then, I had given up my bed and the sofa and was sleeping in the bath.

You are just exhibiting your bitter soul,

Your talking Benin,Benin that was already a shadow of itself by the time of the British invasions, Benin had destroyed itself in civil war.

Christianity came with freedom was living which also encouraged corruption, truly there might have been less evil under traditional religion but it was with immense fear which was many times abused.

You people just talk like Africa was Uhuru prior to the British or Europeans.

There was a lot of oppression by those that wielded power, things were not as rosy in Africa as people like you paint.

In my village( I use my village as a typical case study) there were scattering of peoples due to wicked oppressive brutal kings,traditional religion aided their power, were they could sacrifice humans at will

What about the fact that oba esigie accepted planting of churches in benin to get access to guns.

Or the itsheriki kings accepting a form of Christianity to have increased access to Portuguese trade.

Read history from a neutral perspective you'll get to see the true picture.

Which resources did the British seize,when African rulers were falling over themselves to trade with the British.

Why did the British not impose Christianity on the Islamic north? Don't tell me they didn't have resources. ( they traded kola,nuts etc with the British).

Cocoa trade was introduced by the British and Yoruba leaders were falling over themselves to trade with the British in cocoa and it made many of them rich.

The missionaries were the ones that spread Christianity, what the British force did was to protect the missionaries and prevent any attack or persecution of Christians by local leaders.

If African leaders( prior to Christianity) refused to trade with the British they won't have been able to invade AFRICA.African leaders opened their territory to the British unlike Japan.in my village, the leaders refused to entertain entry to the British,eventually it was locals that brought Christianity and education.

Dahomey favoured selling slaves even when they were compelled to stop.Dahomey invaded Abeokuta to capture SLAVES ( this was a traditional worshipping state)

African leaders over eagerness to trade with the Europeans facilitated the eventual fall of African kingdoms.

Ajayi crowther was a big force that spread Christianity in the southern Nigeria as well as others,check the history of most villages it was returned slaves from Sierra Leone that spread Christianity in their villages.

In my village it was a trader that brought Christianity through trying to learn to read and write.

Christianity was never imposed on southern Nigeria, however it was protected and privileged. Most people accepted Christianity as young people, it was a trendy thing in that era,unlike the Muslim states were Islam was imposed through the rulers or by force.

Note some areas in Edo were Islam was allowed to thrive,why did the British not force the people to be Christians?

Why are people in kogi Muslims?

There was no record of forced conversion in NIGERIA. Many people willingly converted because of the opportunity it provided with education and prospect of working a more lucrative job than ordinary laborious farming.

You are just a bitter soul.

Africa failed itself prior to Christianity

A very bitter soul indeed. He was just wanting to force his garbage down people's throat.

The missionaries were different from the colonial masters. Missionaries were Blacks and White Christians who put their lives in jeopardy to spread Christianity. Many died from savage attacks and unfavorable preaching conditions. The colonial masters on the other hand were made up of nominal Christians, atheists, cultists etc, but this op wants us to believe that the colonial masters and the missionaries were the same. More disgusting is the fact that he abuses people and throw tantrums when responding to people who expose his lies. Such a bitter soul. Thank you for cutting him to size with your wise and patient responses.

clinicality doesn't have anything to do with position on the pitch. Even when we had more traditional forward in Nketiah and a more proven striker in Jesus, Odegaard and Trossard were and is better finishers than them. Auba was good but he also misses chances like 2 or 3 and still scores 2 or 1 because the creativity was there. Ozil knew where to place the ball in front of goal when he needs to score than Auba, one is a AM while the other is a S. If we score 3 to 4 goals per match without a pure 9, why would I need one when we can use that resources to chanel in other areas? (This is my main argument).

Didn't want to talk about this initially but you brought it up.

Getting a striker (esp like Osimhen or Gyokeres) is the differences between us not getting all 15points.

Someone like Gyokeres/Osimhen would have converted that Havertz chance against Brighton and against Man City ystdy, we would have been more deadly winning aerial balls during the 2nd half something Havertz was really dominated on. Osimhen especially would have been a menace against those defenders ystdy with his endless running through channels and aerial duels. I'm even certain there would have been a Torres against Barca deja Vu s
But yeah, Arteta deserves he flowers the way he set us up both times when we were a man down. All credits to him and the players
This is speculation at best. I have watched Osimhen several times and in recent times at Galatasaray and for Nigeria and seen enough to know that he misses chances too. Forget

Topman7:


You are reacting like a brainless SLAVE.

Using your purported ''village example'' to explain the reason the entire southern Nigeria turned christian.

What ''freed slaves'' preached christianity in Africa?

You are a born LIAR.

Christianity did not spread in Africa because it was ''preached'' by anybody.

The colonialists invaded your territory, massacred your ancestors, and seized your resources. ACCESS to those resources became dependent on your ancestors receiving a 'western education' for which they had to relinquish their religion at the doorstep and get baptised in missionary schools. IT WAS CONVERSION BY ECONOMIC BLACKMAIL. COERCED CONVERSION.

Benin Kingdom under its traditional religion for example was a functional place with NO CRIME.

THEIR TRADITIONAL EDO RELIGION WAS THE STATE RELIGION.

The visiting Portuguese and Dutch said that the people in Benin built no front doors to their houses because it was unheard of for somebody to enter another person's house to steal..

According to the UK Guardian newspaper talking about 1500s Benin kingdom:

''Benin City was also one of the first cities to have a semblance of street lighting. Huge metal lamps, many feet high, were built and placed around the city, especially near the king’s palace. Fuelled by palm oil, their burning wicks were lit at night to provide illumination for traffic to and from the palace.

When the Portuguese first “discovered” the city in 1485, they were stunned to find this vast kingdom made of hundreds of interlocked cities and villages in the middle of the African jungle. They called it the “Great City of Benin”.... Indeed, they classified Benin City as one of the most beautiful and best planned cities in the world.


In 1691, the Portuguese ship captain Lourenco Pinto observed: “Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

In contrast, London at the same time is described by Bruce Holsinger, professor of English at the University of Virginia, as being a city of “thievery, prostitution, murder, bribery and a thriving black market made the medieval city ripe for exploitation by those with a skill for the quick blade or picking a pocket”.

https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/18/story-of-cities-5-benin-city-edo-nigeria-mighty-medieval-capital-lost-without-trace

Benin was invaded in 1897 and the people massacred, and the Oba exiled.

Today, Benin is christian.

Armed robbery and kidnapping, prostitution and fraud are what Benin is known for today. You DARE NOT build a house in Benin today without a big gate and barbed wire fencing.

COURTESY OF CHRISTIANITY.

THEY TURNED CHRISTIAN NOT BECAUSE THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THEIR TRADITIONAL RELIGION.

But because they had NO CHOICE but to become christian due to their military conquest, and subsequent colonial demonisation of their religion, and the requirement that they DROP their traditional religion to be admitted into the new colonial schools.

So you can lie to yourself as much as you want in order to remain a SLAVE worshiping the gods of people who invaded, burned down your cities, and murdered and raped your ancestors.

Disgusting person.

henndukwe18:
In reference to this post https://www.nairaland.com/7222565/first-kiss my relationship has been moving so smoothly, everyday is love day, butterflies have now turned to beautiful birds singing in my belly, a single glance at her picture puts me in a deep imagination dt keeps me smiling for some minutes, i imagine how happy we wl be together as couples, such a sensational moment, i neva knew she has the same thing in mind until d last night we met before she travelled to start sch at enugu university.

In that night, as we were having oir normal romantic moment, at tje peak of the romance, she asked me if we were going to marry, i was surprised, then i said yes we wl, bt wen the time comes.

We re just in our first year in sch, her uncle handles her sch stuffs while i take care of mine and also get little support from family, especially my mom.

My mom has always wanted me to b in sch, she wants d best for me bt financial burdens kept delaying me. I wanted to hustle enough money before i wil think of going to sch bt my mom forced me to start ds yr, i told ha i wasnt prepared bt she insisted i start sch dt they wil support me, i agreed n started, first semester was survival, i quit my job to start sch since my mom wanted me to register as a morning student, i hv exhausted all the money on my first semester bt my grades are critically bad, in all the things we do in sch, my participations in sch is 20%, why?, because of money, everything we do in sch involves money, am very brilliant bt all the dull brains in sch that are being supported by their rich dads are beta than me, after our first semester exam i knew it was over for me, i started loosing interest in sch bt my mom kept pushing me forward and motivating me, nothing will make ha happy than to see me become a graduate.

During these struggles, i was stl communicating with my girl friend, i shud have gone for ha matric at enugu bt i couldnt because of money, i hv disappointed her in many ways over the things i know i can handle if i was working, she is very understanding, bt deep down in me, i feel bad about my situation. I was stl reasoning wt she told me abt marriage and i dnt want to loose ha.

At the ending of my second semester, ha first semester was over, we were so excited to see each oda, we met at our normal spot, at the sight of me, she ran towards me with an exciting smile on ha face n hugged me so tight, she is more beautiful n curvy than wen she left for sch, she now has a little figure 8 shape (i onve imagimed dt), she is more attractive now, her eyes n smile were amazing, she was even more excited to see me than i was, we were cuddling, jisting, laughing, smiling n kissing like mad, such a romantic moment.

In the middle of our romance, she held my hands while staring me directly in the eyes and asked me the question again, she asked me if we re going to marry, this time, she had a pleading look on her face, she is a very emotional person and neva hides ha feelings from me, with dt look i knew she was very serious about it, she is probably going crazy abt me, i told ha yes we wl bt we have to finish our education first before starting life together, she said she was afraid of loosing me, i told ha she wont loose me and am also afraid of loosing ha, we just need to wait for d right time, she asked me till wen, i asked ha if she wanted to have a baby and b going to sch with it, she said no dt she just wants us to get engaged, as an assurance dt we will be together forever, i told ha i would b there for ha, she looked annoyed bt i hv a way of getting imto ha, she is emotional and has a soft heart, i used that as an advantage to sweet talk ha out of it before we continued our romance.

My academics now are even worst than last semester due to lack of money and we are currently taking exam, with the way things re going, am not just going to have a lot of carry overs, i am going to repeat my 100 level, it will b a big shame that someone as brilliant as i am is repeating first yr, my efforts re no longer enough, After my girlfriend went home dt night, i was thinking throughout dt night, she has clouded my mind, now i want ha so bad, i dnt want to loose ha, she is a human being and has a limit, if i continue like ds, someone is probably going to take over from me, she is ready to build with me bt if i dnt do anything about it or make any effort in building our relationship, it is only a matter of time before she ends it, and dt is wen she cant take it any longer.

With all these things crumbling on me, i dnt think i can have my gf and be schooling at the same time, i need to make a very hard decision;

1. To continue struggling with ny studies

oga forget sch and go into crypto trading. use the little education you obtained to hold body, school no dey reign again . just wasting your time while your mates are cashing out block. if you no package well she fit leave u for a yahoo boi ooo.
Romance / My Life Now by henndukwe18: 11:46pm On Sep 23
In reference to this post https://www.nairaland.com/7222565/first-kiss my relationship has been moving so smoothly, everyday is love day, butterflies have now turned to beautiful birds singing in my belly, a single glance at her picture puts me in a deep imagination dt keeps me smiling for some minutes, i imagine how happy we wl be together as couples, such a sensational moment, i neva knew she has the same thing in mind until d last night we met before she travelled to start sch at enugu university.

In that night, as we were having our normal romantic moment, at the peak of the romance, she asked me if we were going to marry, i was surprised, then i said yes we wl, bt wen the time comes.

We re just in our first year in sch, her uncle handles her sch stuffs while i take care of mine and also get little support from family, especially my mom.

My mom has always wanted me to b in sch, she wants d best for me bt financial burdens kept delaying me. I wanted to hustle enough money before i wil think of going to sch bt my mom forced me to start ds yr, i told ha i wasnt prepared bt she insisted i start sch dt they wil support me, i agreed n started, now i feel left out, first semester was survival, i quit my job to start sch since my mom wanted me to register as a morning student, i hv exhausted all the money on my first semester bt my grades are critically bad, in all the things we do in sch, my participations in sch is 20%, why?, because of money, everything we do in sch involves money, am very brilliant bt all the dull brains in sch that are being supported by their rich dads are beta than me, after our first semester exam i knew it was over for me, i started loosing interest in sch bt my mom kept pushing me forward and motivating me, nothing will make ha happy than to see me become a graduate.

During these struggles, i was stl communicating with my girl friend, i shud have gone for ha matric at enugu bt i couldnt because of money, i hv disappointed her in many ways over the things i know i can handle if i was working, she is very understanding, bt deep down in me, i feel bad about my situation. I was stl reasoning wt she told me abt marriage and i dnt want to loose ha.

At the ending of my second semester, ha first semester was over, we were so excited to see each oda, we met at our normal spot, at the sight of me, she ran towards me with an exciting smile on ha face n hugged me so tight, she is more beautiful n curvy than wen she left for sch, she now has a little figure 8 shape (i once imagined dt), she is more attractive now, her eyes n smile were amazing, she was even more excited to see me than i was, we were cuddling, jisting, laughing, smiling n kissing like mad, such a romantic moment.

1. To forget about my gf and continue struggling with my studies since my mom wants me to go to sch

2. Drop out of school and start hustling to earn a living and start taking the responsibilities of a man

Both My mom and gf wouldnt want me to go for no 2, especially my mom, bt that is d one my mind is going for right now.

Please, advice me on ds issue, am in need of it.

Insults are allowed, i can take it.

Segzy19:
Dey play! Go and tap person generator... You go understand. Na just to rev the engine or increase the AVR.... Of course, they would have already disconnected their own flat. So all the current just went into the neighbours appliances before it could be stabilised....

Except the gen is having a faulty AVR, it won't give excessive current to any appliances.
No be I better pass my neighbour we dey talk about.
Increasing the output doesn't mean it will supply excessive current, but to accommodate higher load, eg, you want to use your AC, Pumping machine and Iron on the gen simultaneously, even if you unplugged the 3 appliances and leave only the bulbs or your phone charger, the gen won't supply excess current to the bulbs or phone chargers that are still connected

Romance / Tall Pretty Haija Approached Me In Church [pics Attached] by CandyOps(m): 10:33pm On Sep 23
Sunday, 22nd September 2024...

CandyOps woke up as early as 6.15am. it was a cool windy morning and the birds can be heard chirping away from a distance.

The sky was clear and buckets of dull clouds floated lazily with a purple hue racing across the early morning skies.

CandyOps sat on his bed bare chested, mentally taking in the fresh morning breeze and lovely morning view from his bedside window as he made up his mind to attend church service that day.

Normally, people go to church with different prayer points in mind.

Some may go for God's blessings on their business, family or a particular favor. To others it's just a weekly routine.

Well... As for CandyOps, the only prayer point he had in mind as he sat on his bed staring into the empty morning skyline was to meet some new girls in church.

..and also to manifest 100 million naira before this time next year (story for another day)

CandyOps was tired of all his old female friends... and needed some new ones.

I dragged my lazy dreamy-ass out of bed and hit my in-house gym. Did some 10mins meditation & 10 mins stretching to warm up.

I loaded my barbells up with a total of 90kg weights on both ends and set my music player on my Spotify to 'workout' playlist.

I started off with a quick burst of 10 reps in 3 sets of bent over rows to max out my back muscles.

Then switched to 4 sets in 10 reps of standing military overhead barbell press. Before ending it with 10 reps of front squats and 10 of back squats 2 sets each.

Feeling so pumped and sweaty... I took a cold shower with Future's We Still Don't Trust You blazing on a low volume on the stereo.

Got prepped up and hit the roads to the church. It was a smooth 7 mins drive.

Normally, I dey always come late for Sunday service no matter how early I try to be. So I had to stay at the back as the pews were all filled up as it was the 8.30am service mass.

I had to target that specifically because its the most attended family mass service.

I was looking fly as usual. In my peach coloured free flowing 2-piece jumper. The trousers was free-flowing styled like a palazzo.

CandyOps wasn't just looking breathtaking but also smelt like I was dipped in whipped vanilla cream. Mmmm!

Normally, I had slapped on some Sugar Baby oil perf on and masked it with Blooming Florasion by Miniso.

Top notes are Mandarin, Elemi and Orange Blossom. Middle notes are Jasmine, Iris and Plum. Base notes are Patchouli, Vanilla, Praline and Musk. Plus a bit of olive and ginger top notes on the Blooming EDT... a.k.a the boy was fire and smelt edible!

I was also dorning a clear transparent eyeglasses with circular frames. That type Burna wears but not the dark shades.

... yada yada yada.

Back to church, before I got carried away by how hot I was in church (I couldn't help it)

So I was late and the 2nd reading was being read. I had to stand or sit on a makeshift chair all through the service. I wasn't all comfy so I left the building and strolled to the back of the church where there was a cool shade to stretch my legs and give my eyes the opportunity to wander at the beauties in the presence of God.

I was on my own jejely, maintaining steeze and keeping composure waiting for the mass to end to make my move on a pretty damsel standing behind me when I noticed a rather slender tall pretty fair chick casually walking towards me.

She looked 5' 10" but could easily pass as a 6 footer cos she had heels on 👠

She was dressed in all those Indian women 3 piece chiffon dresses with trousers and a matching long free-flowing boyfriend jacket. With a veil to partly cover her face.

Hmmm...
I observed her as she was approaching. She had a hand fan above her head to block out the sun rays from hitting her face.

She walked up to my direction and stood like 1 feet away from me. I just say be like God sabi my prayer point today 🙏

As she just dey walka come stop for my side, I no even waste 1 second...

"This one that Hajia came to church today. Hope all is why?" I said.

She turned towards my direction and I was wearing a sly smile on my face to let her know I was actually speaking to her. A.k.a my game face

She let out a hearty laugh blocking her dentition with the hand fan... and we started talking. And when she spoke... OMG!

Her accent was laced with the typical sing-song tone that comes with Hausa language being a mother tongue. And she spoke so gracefully I could have sworn it sounded like a siren calling to my soul from deep within.

I told her she looked amazingly cute in her choice of dressing and I teased her more about her cologne because I could catch I whimp of it.

As she engaged CandyOps in a convoy I kinda leaned back a little making her come closer in other to close in on the space (psychological move to make her come closer to me physically)

I repeated this at interval and she kept on closing in on the space between us. (Indications of high enough interest)


As we dey talk I noticed the other girl behind me that I was eyeing before was kinda disappointed lol.


Her face wasn't as animated as it was few minutes earlier when we kept on catching each others eyes.. but then what can Candy do?

Candy can't possibly spilt himself into two so he had no choice but to go with the option who make herself available.

I guess she has to learn to shoot her shot faster or try for better luck next time 🤞

I chatted with Haija who put me through hell guessing what state she is from. I later found out she's a practicing lawyer and from Anambra.

After like 10 minutes of talk. I was getting hot standing outside so I suggested we walk to my car and get some AC air since the church is almost over.

She said "oh okay" and followed my lead.

As we walked over to the car park I had a feeling it won't be the last time she'll walk with Candy side-by-side.

I literally imagined and mentally pictured her walking by my side days from now to my house, on a date and I felt instantly how it be like when she walks with me hand-in-hand into my bedroom.

I kinda visualised that shit and it kinda made all the blood in my veins to rush downwards towards my dick.

I kinda imagined for a split second how tight & deep she would be wink

You know what they say about tall women..


Men... Candy was lucky he was putting on a Senator styled cloth with the top falling as low as below his knees. Else, the stupid John Thomas would have disgraced itself


As we enter car, I on AC we chill for a short 5 mins before mass ended and I drove off after exchanging numbers.

One convo we had in the car really struck me.
She asked me the usual question I get most times, "hope you are not married?" She asked

"No. I'm single. But not for too long" I replied.

She laughed and said, "hmmm! Don't forget to invite me to your wedding"

And as a very sharp guy I responded by saying, "you wouldn't need an invite to your own wedding. Would you?"

It took her a second to get it then she let out another hearty laughter. I could see she turned red from smiling too much. Her grin was from ear to ear grin

Candy bad sha.
That reply was epic!
Sounded like a line from a romantic TV sitcom.

But na why.. Na why dem dey call am GOAT be this! 😆

I dropped her off in front of the church b4 leaving as she had CYON meeting to attend so that her fellow CYONers go see am as she drop from the car.


She was the highlight of my Sunday I must say and made me believe 'God' answers all prayers every time I sincerely ask it of him/her.

She's the 2nd babe in my radar and hopefully she makes her own money so I don't get to spend money on weekly allowances.


She no get nyash sha but she seems like an interesting babe and I'm willing to explore all of her to uncover what treasures or curses lies within.

Wish me luck.

Everything was fine and groovy until something heart breaking happened minutes before I dropped her off in front of the church entrance...

It was the moment she shook my hands.
Omo! Damn!
I was disappointed tbh...


The hands no really soft, ajeh!
I no go for lie you naa.
It felt like I was smooching a crocodile's back 😭

I like babes with soft palms like mine.
I love it when your palms feels like Mouka foam and makes me feel lightheaded and dizzy like I'm about to drift off in love...

...no be hand wey strong like solidified Dangote cement left out too long in the open cry

I'll post about the 100 million naira visualisation thing later on.

For now I wan chop this delicious cheat meal.
I no just get babes time as money dey my mind but this JT ain't gonna suck itself

What are you saying,

If you increase the speed of your gen by reving the caburetor, it doesn't influence the electric voltage in big generators because they have capacitors to control current,
Except na mortuary generator you de use,
