Another day.

Another bible reading.

Skimming. I’ve read it before.

Half listening. I know what to expect.
Not discovering. I know the punchline.
Does the bible ever fall flat
because you have flattened out
and read its pages so many times?
Does your mind have a hard
time idling on God’s Word,
because the world speeds too fast
around it?


I can’t seem to keep my heart in the place where
the heart of God is – and that is the problem.
This problem, if not addressed, will, before long –
stamp and deliver my heart to destinations I
never intended to arrive at. Frustrationville or
Aggravationmount or some place like that. It
could just as easily bring me to Jealoustown or
Pridebury. Either way, they are places that reek of
self and shame and guilt. Their roads are rocky
and tumultuous. Every time, they leave me with a
stomach turning knots over itself.
I’d rather not.

So, how do you dive into God’s Word, like a fresh
glass of lemonade on a hot day? How do you
dive into it, knowing that you have had it one
hundred and one times, but still, wanting and
needing it? Craving and desiring it? Thirsting and
salivating over it?

1. Let your senses sense what the
sentiment was.
Imagine being the lead role in the story. See
yourself there. Sense your sin and the idea that
you or your family has done something terribly
wrong. Feel the judgement of the Pharisees upon
you. Wonder if God really can and will heal you.
Let your heart beat.
After saying this, he spit on the ground, made
some mud with the saliva, and put it on the
man’s eyes. “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool
of Siloam”. Jo. 9:6

2. Take your part in the redemption
story.
Hear the words of Jesus leave his mouth. Feel
the mud in your hand. Experience vision. Look
amazed at what surrounds you. Set your eyes on
Jesus.
Then, see yourself run to the masses to share the
glory of the only one who could heal in this way.
Take a snapshot of the story with your senses.
Know that while this was his story, it is also
your story.
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t
know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I
see!” Jo. 9:25

3. Ask yourself, “What about this
experience is calling me to think,
do or say differently?”
When you take a moment to think of all God has
done, you can’t help but think of all he wants to
do. His will makes your will jump up and down
just at the thought of serving him.
The (once blind) man answered, “Now that is
remarkable! You don’t know where he comes
from, yet he opened my eyes. We know that God
does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly
person who does his will. ” Jo. 9: 30-31

4. Believe: He loves you, just as
much as he loved them.
Just because you feel less than, doesn’t mean
that God sees you that way. Believing that you
are worthy of his gifts, love and encouragement,
will allow your heart to receive them. Rather than
keeping up defenses to his Word, you will lay
them down and He will enter in.
The Once- Blind Man: “Nobody has ever heard of
opening the eyes of a man born blind.” Jo. 9:32

5. Avoid boxing God in (and you
might just find your way out of
your box).
When you believe in you heart, what Jesus did
through Scriptures, you’ll find in your mind you
can conceive the great things he wants to do
through your life.
It sounds simple, but simple belief is so often
what it comes down to.

Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will
do the works I have been doing, and they will do
even greater things than these, because I am
going to the Father. Jo. 14:12
When you approach God’s Word in this way, you
realize you hold living water that is not bitter, old
or common. Instead, you taste the fruit of what
God has done and is about to do. It fills, it
satiates and it refreshes. Like lemonade on a
parched day – it’s a drink you can’t wait to
indulge in, lap up and embrace word by word. It
is peace and replenishment all in one.

May the Lord enrich our soul...

Lagos is a place where the struggle for
limited resources is keen. All facilities are
highly COMMERCIALIZED
including love. Things are not always what
they seem to be at the surface level, so there
is a need for you to ‘shine your eyes’ before
being caught buying the counterfeit. These
are top features of a Lagos prostitute who
maybe trying hard to hide her identity to
avoid stigma:

1. Runs girls in Lagos are fond of heavy
make-ups:
They are always desperate to create an
impression wherever they go. This leads to
obviously heavy and
colourful make-ups that mayn’t even rhyme
at all. The ‘foundation’ could be so strong
like she wants to erect a
building on her face.

2. Awkward piercings:
These set of ladies pierce their nose with
rings attached. Their ears carry multiple
piercings too. Some bold ones go as far as
rocking nose rings to show how fashionable
they are.

3. They chew gum indecently:
The act of chewing gum is very paramount
among full
time prostitutes and ‘aristos’ seem to have
mastered the act
well and I wonder the rationale behind it.

4. Breast display:
As goods are displayed on shelves in the
shopping mall, so also the runs girls flash
their ‘selling points’ I.e their area of strength
for prospective buyers. They make sure you
can a vivid look of what you are up against
like the massive boobs, big bum and
exposure of the flat tummy or waist.

5. Tattoos:
In Nigeria today, most decent and well-
cultured ladies
don’t draw tattoos. Most ‘female marketers’
are fond of
conspicuous tattoos which are positioned at
strategic
points for you to feed your eyes on and they
are always
quite bold.

6. Bleached skin:
A fair lady gets more attention and is easily
noticeable than a dark one. Runs girls don’t
joke with bleaching. The
skin is unnecessary white while the fingers,
toes and knuckles stand out black with the
intention to break away
like Biafra.

7. Runs girls in Lagos love expensive phones
with busy lines: When a lady’s phone rings
incessantly like she is a
customer-care agent and you know she isn’t
selling anything; my guy, she is into ‘E-
commerce’ like Jumia delivering the assumed
and the social media is likely her booking
office.

8. When you keep calling her phone and
introducing yourself severally:
Runs girls have several clients to deal with.
They hardly store numbers until they are sure
you have the will to do
business. They easily lose track of the
identity of their callers and you get poised to
re-introduce yourself over
and over again.

9. If she disappears mysteriously like the
2016 national budget from the senate on
Friday nights: Friday nights are sacred nights
in Lagos when the ‘god of koboko’ is
worshiped by hardworking men that must
have
been engaged productively throughout the
week. On a night like this, a hot runs girl
must have been booked by
the highest bidder; hence a dramatic
disappearance until
Saturday morning.

10. She is likely ‘selling it’ if she spends
the entire day
sleeping and heads out every night:
Runs girls in Lagos have opposite working
schedules, they
leave for work when others are returning, and
go on recess
when others are at work like ‘Edo
witches’ (na joke oh).

Perilous Time group Sex.

Happy new month peeps! As we count down
to Valentine’s day, whether you have a boo
or not, there is one thing you owe yourself
this season; you need to look good. Now
ladies, this one is for you.

Today we will be learning how to firm up our
breasts the easy way (no surgeries), giving
us that vavavoom effect we need this
season.

– Bras: Nothing gives breast confidence like a
good bra. A good bra cups your breast
perfectly, giving it that all ’round sexiness
with or without clothes. For those of us who
are fitness buffs, we should get the perfect
sports bra for us. So take time and money off
today and invest in good bras.

– Sitting Posture: Maybe out of negligence,
sitting posture has become an aspect of our
lives which nobody seems to care about. Do
you know that slouching can cause back
aches and may also be the reason why your
breasts may be looking droopy or saggy?

– Sleeping Position: Studies have shown that
sleeping on your side could cause the top
breast to sag or stretch more than the other,
so it is advised that you sleep on your back
as that would allow for equal stretch and
appearance.

– Exercise: Yoga and aerobics help cause
circulation in the blood vessels of the breasts
and so do bench presses. Remember Tip 1
above and be sure to get a great sports bra
to prevent the breasts from over stretching
while exercising.

-Weight loss: it is okay to lose weight if you
want to but consistency is the key here.
Fluctuation in body weight leads to stretch
marks and sagging breasts as the skin of the
breasts would have to spread around extra
fat tissue.

– Breast massage: This involves the use of
natural oils like olive oil to massage the
breasts. Be careful while doing this, using
only two drops of the oil per massage
session which could be once a day or twice
(morning and evening) as these oils could get
heated in the process due to friction and
cause skin burns.
We also have breast masks which are
effective breast lifters. Two of the most
effective masks are;

– Vitamin E oil and egg breast mask: This
involves making a paste of yogurt, vitamin E
and egg. Apply this paste over your breast
and rub it in nicely. Allow the mask settle for
about half an hour then rinse with water.

– Cucumber and Egg breast mask: This
would require adding some butter, natural
cream and egg yolk to ground-up cucumber.
Then place in the refrigerator overnight, after
which you can apply on your breast, leave for
about half an hour and then rinse off with
cold water. This would firm up and tone the
skin and muscles of your breast, thereby
lifting the breasts naturally.

So has your self esteem been diminished as a
result of saggy breasts? Have you refrained
from certain clothes because your breasts
just don’t look alive in them? Just follow the
simple tips above and get your boobs-fidence
back…XoXo.

Before the licence for private owner ship to participate in the TV station NTA was the BOM own by the govt so most Nigerian them were subject to what the govt want them to hear and view.

Then came the privatisation of the TV sector.... which give birth to AIT that make Nigeria have some say about the things that happened in the country...then came silver bird TV...and many more but none was given AIT headache until channels came on board. Recently is like we av a new born baby trying to rob shoulder with channel's that have been dominating Nigeria tv station. With this new young TV station that seem to have the best TV studio in Nigeria channel stations need to fight well to remain on top.

So nairalanders what is ur view about Tvc and channel station rate them in term of:

Program
Technology

cameraman
