bamoza: Hello NLs
I always have the intention not to physically beat my children when they misbehave (that I would rather talk to them or give them light punishment) due to the fact that my parents were people that believe so much that beating is the best method to correct a child but they were wrong because we only changed as far as the pain of the beating lasted, Infact it made us worse because we got so used to cane that we not scared of doing something wrong, so because of that, I believed that beating does more harm than good,
and to support my new believe is when one of my uncle told me that he has never beat his children, though they(his children) left Nigeria at an early age, but even when in Nigeria he said he has never beaten them, though can't ascertain if his wife did not, but am sure when they got abroad they won't beat, because they don't beat dia.
But recently I have a niece of mine that came to stay with us and with my knowledge that beating is not the best method of correcting a child, I try as much as possible not to beat her when she did something wrong, but lately have had to beat her twice because it seems she wasn't getting better or listening to the corrections when I say them but with a few strokes she got them perfectly, and am like, me that determined to never beat a child, but can't refrain myself from beating my niece, how sure that I won't beat my child
with all this
I just keep wondering
is It possible to raise a child In Nigeria without beating the child?

It is possible, pray that Lord give you a good child, but after correcting him/her verbally and still proving adamant, it's not bad to add little cain. above all be prayerful that God give you glorious children that will have the fear of God.

Lamasta: Am just observing

we are waiting for your comprehensive situational report oooooo.

aguiyi: No be only TAN.

See how he is allowed to seat on police truck while the mofo is on foot.

have you forgotten that we worship anything foreign in Nigeria? Even some people will claim corrupt foreigner is still better than corrupt Nigerian.

Vstuffs: Op...u forget to add my name......at age 22..I will have a phd degree

till then sir.



please study hard because we are waiting for its manifestation.

May God let every one of us successful in Jesus name. Schooling in public university in Nigeria, is like passing through hell.

perry2020: Kai sum ppl and funny comments sha.
Anyways my own opinion of a wife material is
1.a lady who can submit herself(she isn't too proud,neither is she boosy,she doesn't put herself above her husband and family)
2.a very understanding lady(sum one who understands u bcoz d key to a healthy relationship is understanding,when they understand each other some quarrels can be averted).
3.a lady who supports u and completes u(sum ladies have d ideology dat "it's my husbnds responsibility to do everything dats why he is d man"its shouldn't be dis way. a wife should be a helpmate not a liability.(take her out on a date tell her u forgot ur wallet n plead with ha to pay n c her reaction)
4.a god fearing lady
5.a smart lady and a lady who is very resourceful and independent not one who at just dating level is expecting u to buy cream,pad etc f u start now just get ready to do it forever.
6.a lady who knows how to be economical and considerate
7.a lady with good morals,very contented,not much of a gossip bcoz if she is much of a gossip my dear u are in trouble ooo.
8.a lady who knows how to improvise and multi task.
9.a lady with good personal hygiene and keeps her house clean,if she doesn't keep her house clean den how will she keep ur's clean. SHE MUST ALSO CARE FOR HERSELF PHYSICALLY so it won't be a matter of blowing up after marriage and u end up saying my wife is fat and I don't love her.
10.a lady who respect her parents and listen to advice.(if she cant obey her parents forget it she cant obey u. plus if she doesn't listen to advice whats d probability that f she does sum tin wrong and u advise her she would take ur advice and change.
11.a lady who is economical and has a very good saving spirit (this is a very important factor dat a woman must have coz some men spend too much it is d duty of d woman to call her husbnd to caution and try to impact in him d saving spirit incase of raining days)not the woman who spends all her earning on Brazilian hair.
12.a tactful and smart lady that can give her husbnd good advice when he needs it and encouragement
13.a woman who is string spiritually bcoz battles will always come. a woman is d bedrock of her home,it is her prayer that keeps her husband,and kids goin.
14.dis is quite important to some men. IF I WAS A GUY.SHE MUST BE A VERY VERY GOOD COOK COZ I LOVE FOOD AND VERY GOOD FOOD.( VARIETIES OF COOKING SKILLS AND RECIPE)the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. If a lady cooks better for him babes forget ur nigga oo.
15.she MUST be ready to satisfy him sexually(dis is another thing i noticed that drives men away from home when she gives him 2 days in a week roaster AFTER Aff Pay bride price oo. And u expect him not to look out as a young man.
16.a lady who isn't promiscuous(if she starts acting bitchy while dating what's d probability she won't turn into a LovePeddler when u get married, now it's not only men that bring in hiv and stds even women do.
17. A lady who respects u,ur relationship and everything u value including ur parents and siblings.
18.a wife material must be matured aldoe age is just a number sum times,its abt maturity.Good communication is also very necessary.
19.make sure she is fun loving(picnic,games,strolls etc) if not ehennnn ur marriage will be so boring.
20.be a husband material before looking for a wife material.f u ain't a husband material don't expect to have a wife material

Hmmmm talking too much already. this ones are d basic sha,got to look out for all dis in a lady. standards and taste differ it's not compulsory she has all.

Then you must be a wife material if you have all these in you.

Do you mean our best own goal scorer?

jrerico1: Joseph Phillip Yobo (born 6 September 1980) is a
Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a
centre back. He was the captain of the Nigerian
national team until his international football
retirement in June 2014, and he is Nigeria's record
appearance holder.

Happy birthday to our Joseph Yobo.

The funny part of this ebola saga is that, as its degrading some business like hunting its upgrading some like ewedu (vegatable farming). Who knows, tommorrow another research can say "giving anybody bearing James money can cure ebola", by then I can book for my duplex in bannana estate and my cars from Germany. Finally i can now go into my full time drama evangelism

icnsystem: A consultant at the Lagos University Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba, Professor Adebukola Ositelu, has said Ewedu ‎which is known in English as the Long-Fruited vegetable, is capable of preventing and curing the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) by boosting the immune system.

Ositelu stated this at the annual African Traditional Medicine Day organised by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Thursday, at Ikeja, Lagos.

According to her, the vegetable had a high potency to boost the immune system such that it’s usage would prevent an individual from being infected with Ebola, or get rid of the virus in the case of an infected person.

She, however, noted that chances of being cured by an intake of Ewedu when a victim has gotten to the stage of vomiting was low, but could still be administered.

Ositelu, who is a professor of ‎Ophthalmology at the University of Lagos, Akoka (UNILAG), said to administer the ‘treatment’, the Ewedu should be rinsed thoroughly with liquid vinegar “blend and cook with drinkable water, without adding salt or kaun (pottash) or any other ingredients; then take a 25cl or half a tumbler measure once a week, first thing in the morning before any meal” for prevention, adding that those already infected should take it every morning for seven to five days.

dotna: California Passes ‘Yes Means Yes’ Law



Here’s some uplifting news to read before you leave for your long weekend: California just became the first state to pass a ‘Yes Means Yes’ bill that would require all state-funded colleges and universities to adopt “affirmative consent” language in their definitions of consensual sex, Yahoo! News reports.
The California senate unanimously passed the bill in May, and it’s now set to be signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown. The law defines sexual consent between people as “affirmative, conscious, and voluntary agreement to engage in sexual activity.” In other words, silence or a lack of resistance do not count as consent, and drugs and alcohol will not (not that they ever should) excuse unwanted sexual activity or touching.
Governor Brown must sign the bill into law by September 30th, and if he does, it would be the first time a state would require such strong language to be a part of a school’s sexual assault policies, Claire Conlon, a spokesperson for Senator Kevin de Leon—who championed the bill—told Yahoo!.
We love this idea, not only because it seems to do away with the old “No means no” mentality, but because it champions enthusiastic consent between students. Hopefully, it’ll encourage all parties involved to stand up for themselves and talk about what they’re comfortable with. There’s nothing sexier or healthier than two people who really know what they want and aren’t afraid to say it.

http://zealnote.com/yes-means-yes-new-sex-law-california/

Someone may say useless law, because in Nigeria we are faced with many serious problems that require vibrant and working law, but we can't blame them, because all other things are working fine there, they talk about silly laws like this to remind the people that the goverment still exist.

TOPIC:THE BLESSED LIFE

MEMORIZE
Beloved, I wish above all things
that thou mayest prosper and be
in health, even as thy soul
prospereth.
3 John 2

READ
Isaiah 45:1-3
1 Thus saith the LORD to his
anointed, to Cyrus, whose right
hand I have holden, to subdue
nations before him; and I will
loose the loins of kings, to open
before him the two leaved gates;
and the gates shall not be shut;
2 I will go before thee, and make
the crooked places straight: I will
break in pieces the gates of brass,
and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 And I will give thee the treasures
of darkness, and hidden riches of
secret places, that thou mayest
know that I, the LORD, which call
thee by thy name, am the God of
Israel.

MESSAGE

There is a divine purpose for
sending you to Earth. It is this plan
and purpose that will connect you
to the blueprint of God in your life.
Until this purpose is discovered,
you may wander through life
without any sense of fulfilment. A
lot of people pass through the
world like an ant: unnoticed and
unknown. This is because they fail
to understand the plan and
programme of God for them. The
master plan for your life is in the
hands of God. It spells out phase
by phase what is expected of you
at every given time. This is what
gives you clear direction and focus
on what to do and what not to do.
It gives clear-cut direction on what
can make your life a blessing
indeed. To have a blessed life
means prosperity, excellence and
extra-ordinary breakthroughs.
Abraham is a true example of what
a blessed life is. His life reveals
what it means to be a blessing. He
became a blessing because He
discovered God’s purpose for his
life and pursued it (Genesis 12:1-3)
. The moment your life becomes an
instrument of blessing other lives,
there is no way you will not record
outstanding success.
It is clear to all and sundry that
Jesus lived a blessed life. He came
to the world and died on the cross
for the salvation of humanity.
Today, you and I are called
children of God because of that
sacrifice. There is no one who can
enjoy a blessed life while living a
double-standard life. You cannot
be a channel of blessing if your life
is not right with God. You need to
be reconciled to your Maker. You
need to be at peace with God
before you can begin to taste His
wonderful grace. Having a blessed
life implies a life that is totally
surrendered to the Lord Jesus
Christ. The life of Jesus is a blessing
because through His Name, the
sick are healed, the barren become
fruitful, deliverance is given to the
captives and innumerable miracles
happen on a daily basis.
The steps of living in the realm of a
blessed life revolve around having
the mind of Christ. With the mind
of Christ, you will be able to make
a positive and lasting change in the
world. You must embrace a life of
humility. True humility and the fear
of the Lord lead to riches, honour
and long life (Proverbs 22:4) .
Humility is a virtue that is expected
to be seen in a life that wants to be
blessed. When you are humble,
you achieve greater feats. Jesus
became obedient unto death. To
have a blessed life, you must be
willing to die daily; this means your
self-will is subjected to the will of
the Master on a daily basis.

BIBLE IN A YEAR
Joshua 4-6
Job 34:16-30

PRAYER POINT
Oh Lord, move me from the
minimum level of life to the
maximum you designed for me.

Oh Lord, move me from the minimum level of life to the maximum you designed for me today in Jesus name.



Happy birthday to me today, the 7th (perfection) day of September (delivery of good things) 2014.

@op, thanks for the benefiting information, if our africa and I-pass-my-neighbour mentality will allow us to use the information.



You will pity some food items you will see in deep freezer of some people.

Beauty
Beautiful
Beautifully
Unbeautifuless

The best way to live a fulfilled life is to be happy with what you naturally have. Dont focus on your single but, when you have many things to thank God for (good health, intelligence, job, provision, beauty, lack of body deformity, comfortable lifestyle etc)

Though they may be dumber than me, but with what i have seen so far on nairaland, i'm sure we still have dumber people than these here.

What of silly people, liking silly post.

What of dumb people that will quote a long epistle just to comment "lol" "k" "really?"

I would have been so happy, as it been that all these political "joker" is to the favour of the masses.



Anyway congrats to him.

Lets just hope so. No matter what, we cannot because of Boko boys and tell their state goverment not to develop their states. I know end will soon come to them, even though Mattew 24 had foretold us about them (in the end time).

habex005: its look cool,
Only if the boko boys wont invade this beautiful haven

PeterKbaba: Yoruba Village London


The Yoruba Village is a mixed use development on a 1Ha site providing a wide range of community facilities.
The aspiration of the project is to provide the community with a destination to celebrate the culture of the West African community in London. The proposals were presented to 400 distinguished guests at the Grange Tower Hotel in Tower Bridge in August 2013.

This will be a special scheme for Yoruba's in Diaspora and also a multicultural community that can learn about the Yoruba culture.
The project has been designed to be as permeable as possible with the community through its facade treatment. The urban strategy has been strategically implemented to draw people into the scheme. It provides an 'extension to the main road by introducing a pedestrian’s concourse right through the centre of the scheme.

A flythrough of the project can be viewed on here

The scheme consist of the following
• Public Gallery exhibiting Yoruba and West African Culture
• Suite / Hall 01, 02, 03
- Seats 500 Dining
- Seats 700 Theatre
• Restaurant / Bar Facilities

• Retail Units x10
• Commercial Units x12
• Supermarket 20000 sq ft

• Car Parking - 1000 gross spaces

•Community Facilities (crèche, academic)

If it will be to better the life of common Nigerians in the diaspora, they have my support, if not, its not good enough, because unfair treament Nigerians are subjected to by the foreigners is too much.

You are a good researcher on this, I just opened my mouth as many really torch me

LaurelP: Guys can be very annoying at times.
I just don't know why many of us indulge in these irritating behaviors

1. Staring at a lady's backside: 90% guys do this. They just can't help turning around whenever a female passes, just to check out her backside. Its very irritating and rude too. Guys pls stop it

2.Calling a girl and saying "I just want to hear your voice": To me this is just dumb! And that's why that girl can never call you. She assumes you don't have a life. Guys, even if you're jobless at d moment, pls find sth to do even if its free, a hobby or volunteer work just to fill the time. Than to waste your time wanting to hear a girl's voice.

3. Thanking a lady for accepting their friend request on Facebook: As if they have won gold. Its so annoying and smacks of both desperation and lack of self worth. At worst, you should welcome the person and say that you're looking forward to knowing more about her. Not writing silly stuffs like "Baby thanks for accepting me as your friend".

4. Asking for a girl's number just too early: Many guys feel very fulfilled getting a girl's digits. Guys, there's no big deal in it! You might even end up not calling them at the end of the day. Take your time and let the girl wonder why you aren't rushing to get her digits like most would do.

5.Always wanting to please ladies: I'm not saying its bad to be a gentleman, its just that some guys take it too far. They go against their own morals and ethics just to please a lady. Come on! That she's not all smiles doesn't mean she's unhappy or worried. Some ladies just use these tactics to make you do what you shouldn't do.

6. Giving out large sums of money for sex: For God's sake guys, you won't die if you don't have sex. Stop acting as if your whole life depends on sex. Some guys would abandon their parents and siblings and be spending large on a girl who hasn't added nothing in his life save for the sex. Guys pls learn!

7. Agreeing to whatever the ladies say in order to become a gentleman: We see this on NL here sometimes. Some guys have earned that reputation of always supporting, liking comments made by ladies not because its true, but because they're ladies.


There are many of them.... Pls add yours

I think I must change for the better.

I got confused at first, but after seeing people's comment, I went back to confirm and saw that it was a flower vase performing the magic.

Bros, you sabi economics pass John Smith oooo, even Ijebu will need to learn from you

hungryboy: Buying egg roll for 100naira when u suppose buy
20naira buns and 30naira egg

I give you kudos for this lovely joke.

Quite interesting. This is a good eye opener. I can't believe people waste money like this in Nigeria.

Father, please let the truth of your word continue to set me free in every area of my life in Jesus name (Amen). Good morning everybody.

imsuboi: this farano sef

She will like Ferrari oooooooo.

Sir, with due respect to your personality, permit me to say, you are grammatically wrong with your statement

Phemsy: Chai......chai.....chai.....##how many times did i said that

how many time(s) did I SAY that Ok?




@topic. I cant do that irrespective of the reason, if she loves me, she should also consider my comfort, joy, career e.t.c. or is love no more a reciprocal?

I think jealous in the context of marital relationship is acceptable to some extent, but when it is on something that does not belong to you, it becomes envy (sinful)

REWARD FOR LABOUR
Memorise: And I have given you a
land for which ye did not labour,
and cities which ye built not, and
ye dwell in them; of the vineyards
and oliveyards which ye planted
not do ye eat. Joshua 24:13
Read: Genesis 31:3-7; Bible in one
year; John 1:1-3:15; Job 29:21-30:8
Jacob sojourned with Laban and
laboured for him for several years.
At first, his host was cheating him
at every opportunity, and the years
of his hard labour were almost in
vain. Down the line, God had to
intervene to enable Jacob eat the
fruit of his labour. For a reader of
this devotional, in every area that
you have been deprived of your
reward in the hands of your
employers or contractors, the Lord
will intervene on your behalf in
Jesus’ name. it is evil when your
sweat serves to increase the
wealth of another man without
you having any benefit to show for
it. After God decided to bless Jacob
to redeem the years of his labour
under Laban , the sons of Laban
and their father conspired against
him, believing that he did not
deserve the wealth he had earned.
When God intervenes in your
situation, you will become what
the enemy did not think you could
ever become. God’s intervention
brings reward for labour. This can
be manifested in God helping you
to set up your own business or
company after faithfully serving
another for a reasonable length of
time. Jacob ran Laban’s business as
his own; he was faithful to tending
the flocks and the business grew
rapidly under his care. Jacob later
recognised that although he had
served Laban over the years, the
man was not eager to grant him
independence. May the Lord deliver
you from the wisdom and power of
those who don’t want you to
become your best.
Reward for is obtained when the
Lord delivers you from the hands of
unfaithful business associates.
Laban dealt fraudulently with
Jacob; at several instances, he
changed their business agreement
just to make sure that Jacob lost
out while he prospered. When the
Lord chooses to reward your
labour, He will not allow the plans
of fraudsters against you to stand.
Through fraud, there are many
people who have lost their month-
watering Jobs innocently. Some
people have been imprisoned for
frauds they knew nothing about.
Some people have lost millions and
billions through fraud; this will
never be your experience in Jesus’
Name. Also, when the Lord chooses
to reward your labour, He will not
allow your sincere investment to
go in vain. Jacob invested his time,
skills and labour into the business
between himself and Laban.
Reward for your labour comes
when God decides to judge
between you and those using you
for their own advantage. After over
200 years of hard labour in Egypt,
God came down to deliver the
children of Israel and He gave
them a land where they would
enjoy the abundance provided by
others. May the Lord cause you to
enter into an inheritance of rest in
Jesus’ Name.
Prayer Point:
Father, grant me reward for all my
labour and remember me for good
in Jesus’ name.

Please always use line spacing to demarcate each item, from topic, memory verse, bible in one year, message and prayer point. It will make it understandable and interesting to read.

Dont worry we are with you, even though you may not see many people commenting, but it is really blessing people's life. Just continue the good work.

Welcome to Nigeria politics and politiking.

Maybe he copied this tautology from madam Jonathan

temigracie: ...lol...you ll kill yourself and run away....ROTF

I will rather kill myself than commit suicide.



@topic. Someone must born someone, nobody existed from laboratory experiment, so life goes on. Does that disturb me from making it in life?

swaystunna: Does it mean refurblished laptops are bad to use entirely ?

No sir, its just a guideline for you to know what you are buying from the onset, so that you will not feel disappointed when it doesn't perform well like the original. Also, so that you will not pay for the original while you are given a refurblished one.



@op. Kudos to you!
