pDude: Too much English

Simple. You Nigerians are like a scourge that breeds disease anywhere they go. America is tired of you guys. Stay in your country. They don't want you turning theirs into a shithole.

Simple.

This can be the case especially when people get the visas to go to the country and then don't keep the conditions of the visa ( they dont pay their school fees, work more than the legally allowed hours)They jeopardise the chances of all those who are yet to travel to that country. It much more out fault than the US.

Please lets sort out our own country first before criticising others. The Nigerian embassies outside Nigeria is worse than some of these international embassies.

iyatrustee: this is a relief for those who find it difficult to spell

...and illiterates too!

sortedupdate: The post was been forged at random. The main source posted in the last year that he had a clash which has been sorted out. I'm an journalist in the UK and Ireland; this is to inform you to be sure before responding to unverified posts like these.

...a journalist(with this kind of english)? Where did you learn your trade?

I am glad this is making news. God should put to shame PUBLICLY those who cheapen His name. They will vist Nigeria and start throwing money around like no man's business. Noone will suspect them as fraudsters

agog: I too have been a victim before. It happened in March 2011. I opened a dollar account with GTBank and wanted to fund it. So I went to Allen with intent of entering a shop and buy the dollar. But along the way I met these 2 guys whose rates were cheaper @N150 while bank rate was about N158. So I agreed to the offer to buy 200 dollars. I brought 30000 and gave to them. They counted it and one of them now told me that they only have one-dollar notes with them and if I would take that. I said no and became suspicious. I asked for my money back, counted and pocketed it thanking God that I didn't fall into scammer's hand. I boarded a bus to Ikeja. Lo, before I got down I felt in my pocket that d money has reduced. Lo when I counted it it reamins 19k. In disbelief I counted again, this time 15 pieces remaining(15k)!! At this time I started crying openly in Ikeja and calling on God cos I don't know what can happen to me next. To cut it short, I lost 15k to d scammers and since then I have learned my lesson albeit the hard way.
WARNING: Never patronize a road side BDC.

That is so sad. I was really moved by your story. God will surely deal with such people who bring misery to others through this kind of thing. Its awful.

There is no journalism in Nigeria. It doesnt exist and hasnt existed since the death of Dele Giwa!

Speechless!!! i mean what can you say?

Billyonaire: Private Jet doesnt fit this governor at all.

..because money cannot buy class. He looks out of place.

GeJ79: THE MEMBERS BOUGHT HIM A PRIVATE BIRTHDAY CAKE

ONLY a birthday cake in these days where members are buying jet for their pastors.

..Please can someone post the correct pictures? This is not the true pictures of a Nigerian Pastor's birthday. These party looks too modest for a pastor's party. Please remeber to add the pictures of the pastor unwrapping his jet

360command: Dating someone who is smarter than you means you are olodo!

That's olodo style of thinking.

moreeni: One need to be married to really know the truth of this post. As soon as positions begins to shift in the home front,believe me the marriage is heading south.in those days when daddies do all the provision and mummies do all the caring without one acting the other's role it was OK.But now when daddies don't bother providing for mummies in as much as mommies work and still expectin those-days submision .There will be fire on the mountain.

Its true. its never just about the man or woman. Being the first for one another not for every tom and jerry. Everyone has a part to play but they need to play it well and sincerely.

It's like a jigsaw puzzle , it will never be complete without the tiniest part .

Ninapha: . Its not d vow but the selfish intentions of our youths.. Women want to attach 'Mrs' and men want someone to share in d bills. Most marriages are just unwritten contracts. But if u see marriage dat is rooted in love and Gods standard, u see the essence of d VOW.

Absolutely ! No further expansion needed.

slimming: Divorce is growing becos most go into relationship to satisfy their urge, after getting tired, they get out.

Agreed especially in the western world. People take the vow so they can gain citizenship in that country. As soon as they get it, they abscond and leave behind a trail of broken dreams especially for the innocent children. Unfortunately , the vow was made before a 3rd party , God and He will judge accordingly in His own time.

caukerzee: The problem with most of our marriages and relationship these days is that people go into them for what they stand to gain and not what they are willing to sacrifice. there's no love anylonger. men go for s e x, women go for money. when those things are not there, marriage ends. marriage is more about commitment than love tho, because love leaves at some point. so vows are ment to strenghten it not the other way round. another problem is civil rights and gender equality...that has affected our these days marriage. women neglect submission which is the basic thing in marriage because of her quest for gender equality.

There are always two sides to a coin. Both sides must fight to make it work. When a woman submits, a man must show respect . Without support from both sides, no amount of submission would make a marriage stand.

Secondly, 2 people meet and fall in love . After the vow, they are joined by multiples from both sides of the family who also want a part of the marriage. These add pressure and without wisdom in no time the marriage will crumble from the desperate need to please all except the two who originally fell in love.

I have in the past been to five marriages in a year and within a year all those marriages crumbled for one reason or the other.

Taking the vow is meant to enhance the relationship and take it to the next level. In reality, most couples forget how they got to the 'vow' level once the vow is taken.

Dominance replaces sharing
Anger replaces love
Culture replaces Godliness
Fear of family and friend replaces fear of God
Complacency replaces attention and care
Selfishness replaces selflessness
Lack of patience replaces understanding
Family wishes replaces couple wishes and so on and so forth.

Each change at each stage brings it own pressure until the marriage crumbles and you cannot both pinpoint one single factor . Once it crumbles , everyone including family return to their shell and leave you to pick up the pieces.

Nigeria family play a big part in helping couples not live up to their vows . It's takes a strong man to stand up and resist family intervention of any kind for most marriages to stand. They did not choose for you but want to help you live with each other by living their own unattained dreams through your marriage .

I expect a lot of abuse becos I know the truth is always bitter!

adefash: Lnik plaese. I am interested in tihs becuase i hate it msot wehn ppl start ponitnig ohter's mistkaes in yinglish.

Lets be realistic. If you want to get anywhere in life education wise, you need to be able to write and speak good grammar. It's the way of the world. Sometimes the wrong spelling and bad grammar can put a completely different meaning to a sentence than what is originally intended by the writer.

Shollypopz: U must be living in a cave if u can make such statement

I live in Nigeria (new name Cave) and until Boko haram takes over this shambolic country called Nigeria and its no longer a democratic country where everyone is entitled to their opinion, i will continue to express my opinion. if you don't agree with me, please move on and bully someone else or stay forever silent. D

pleep: Im agressive because i hate people like you, and i never will stop. I made a perfectly reasonable comment and three manginas have called me insecure or a chauvanist so far.

Look here yous stupid little cu.n.t, the vast majority of women want a mate who is smarter than them. The ones who don't are overbearing fem dykes. Traditional women want a man who is smarter and likewise traditional men are smarter than their mates. This has nothing to do with insecurity it is the way of the world. I'm sorry your dumbass father didn't give you a good example.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion dolly!

Please speak for yourself. You only represent an ignorant minority even in your own generation so calm down.

sexyval: I'm a lady and I'm yet to see any guy more intelligent than myself ,guys are such a dumbass .

They are mostly dumbass but it doesn't mean they can't outsmart you with their tricks. Very few women can match men in their tricks and lies.

1ndidi2: Really? There not they!

Roll not role

I am not I'm

And I am a girl

What does this mean? I don't understand this NL vocabulary !

Flashaldrin: either you're insecure or you're a male chauvinist!
So its ok to be more intelligent than a woman but she musnt be more intelligent than you??

Just pathetic. You guys are spoiling the game for every God fearing man out there. You forget you have females in your family. Sad and ignorant.

Every respectable human being should avoid people like this.

Why would anyone be looking to mix with someone who can add no value to their lives (dunce)?

This is an excellent question for those NLanders who like to spew a lot of garbage , insults and use gutter language because they can hide behind shady online usernames. You can always gauge their intelligence from their postings.

I won't mix with such people under any circumstances .

Pray before you leave your home daily. This is key because its only by His grace that anyone survives in this city.

Always let someone (a TRUSTED confidant) know where you are and where you are going.

Don't act like the new boy in town.

Finally, finish your intended business in Lagos and return swiftly to where you are from.

dmcdad: Who says there ain't virgin-males?

Not on NL. Even when they are virgins , the gutter men will claim they have sleep with 40 women so they can appear cool! Please look elsewhere.

[quote author=blogger1.0]Your dream girl[/quote]This intelligent post is not ideal for NL . All you will get is a lot of bragging and rubbishing from all the gutter people on NL.

So many COWARDS bragging about this and that. Hiding behind anonymity of the Internet. God help us all.

baddiguy: A major problem we have in this country is the abundance of self-righteous skinks we have everywhere who are quick to quote bible verses at the slightest urging, as if na only them dey go church.
I feel you though. I've been smoking weed for over a decade. I have NEVER tried any other drugs, and alcohol causes irritation to my skin, so it's so so for me. But I can attest that weed has helped me in studies that won me international awards. I have smoked weed together with army generals. I know medical doctors who went through medical school smoking weed and they are doing well today. There is just NO PROOF whatsoever that smoking weed is a precursor to "more dangerous drugs" or to even losing focus in life. Thank you

...,interesting . No hope for this country .

9jacrip: because it has been legalized in some parts of the US and western influence makes it seem 'cool' some NLers keep hammering on weed use being acceptable even though it is a married man we have in Q?

That's the idea from majority of the response here. Of course, a lot of it is just bravado and they probably won't touch it. At the same time, some stupid people who have no mind of their own would decide to try it and find out what the fuss is all about and would probably perish from it.

jennykadry: 24 million naira ? How is that successful? When correct movies in the west make millions of dollars in the first week

Just wondering too!

Meaningless posting!

baddiguy: To answer your question, marijuana has been linked to curing cancer [in it's early stages], obesity etc. Don't be a lazy bone all you gotta do is search via google.

And oh yes, I LOVE my girls if we can hang out together and smoke weed. My wife - when I find her - will pass her initial screening if she smokes weed, and when my children become, it will be their choice if they want to or not. I certainly won't stop them if they would like to.

You see, the difference between me and you is that I think contemporarily with an open mind that is rational and objective. You should broaden your thinking and tolerance for opposing views, rather than stay stuck in being a typical Nigerian who slaughters common sense on the alter of supreme ignorance.

....uhmm! Linked to cancer cure, obesity NOT actually cure it. It makes no sense to me how millions are still dying from such disease that weed can cure. As a matter of fact one of my colleagues passed away yesterday from cancer . I wonder how since weed could have cured him.

I choose to ignore your petty insults as i won't stoop low to the level of the gutter people on NL.

[quote author=AB$I]The Bible allows for divorce when adultery is committed. Uncommon sense allows seperation when there is physical abuse or threat to life. Indian Hemp smoking or addiction does not fall into any of these categories. Between,hemp smoking is not as bad as adultery,stealing,looting, homosexuality,idolatory,sorcery, debauchery etc and yet many husbands practice such. Madam approach your issue with prayers,fasting,counselling, wisdom and above all love;for love covers a multitude of sins. 1 love and peace[/quote]There are a lot of things the bible does not mention or call a sin but we all know that as children of God we should not do it. If you fear God, you will avoid anything that can contaminate your soul, mind and spirit including weed smoking. But I understand from a lot of postings here that its ok for a man to be smoking weed for all sorts of manmade reasons . Thank God , my friends and family don't fall into this ignorant category who believes such nonsense.
