All the best

Abeg go read https://www.nairaland.com/portharcourtboy/posts/17 for background on this story

thorpido: To all those saying what has OJB spent all the money he made on.
Please let me make you understand that kidney ailment is a very expensive disease to manage.He was diagnosed with this condition 2yrs ago and he must have been taking expensive medications and paying hospital bills all these while.He obviously would have spent quite a huge sum from his savings.A few years ago,he also had a daughter who had a heart condition(I think)and eventually died.He must have spent quite a lot on health care.
I'm not saying he would not have lavished money on d 'jaiye jaiye' lifestyle but this is not the time to start beating him on the ground.Let's try and offer whatever help we can now.

Thanks for your post thorpido
Nairalanders, pls do what you can if you are so inclined and leave the rest to God

Am I the only one that thinks GTB has misplaced priorities. Wasting my shareholders profit on quarter-to-erotica videos, nonsense

GTB focus on banking and leave movie for nollywood jo!

Our president is presidential today! (diction, tone, dressing and decree = 10/10)

Good job

Reuben Abati:

This Chicken did not just start crossing the road; chickens have always tried to cross the road. I wonder why there is a lot of question suddenly about the chicken's journey. This administration did not create the chicken neither did we construct the road the chicken is trying to cross. Nigerians have a crisis of expectation if they think this administration can answer this age old question of why the chicken crossed the road.

For people who want to grab power, people who want President out of office and who want the PDP out of office, you can never expect an objective comment from them. It is quite possible that it was the road that was trying to move under a stationery chicken

It will take time and effort to correct this inherent need of the chicken to cross the road and the presidency is doing all it can to address the issue. As a show of his commitment in answering this question, the presidency has set up a 10 man committee and given them 10 days to investigate and come back with their finding. Pls note that the presidency has also instructed that no chicken must be eaten during the sittings of this committee

Doyin Okupe:

PDP denies that the chicken is crossing the road; there is not evidence to support the claim that the chicken was trying to cross the road. All questions about the chicken's journey across the road was engineered by the opposition to discredit the presidency. We need to remind the opposition that they will fail in their attempt to get the chicken across the road in 2015.
I wish to enjoin the public to ignore these lies being peddled about the chicken because the real real agenda is to throw salt into the ongoing efforts of President to eat this 1billion naira chicken which the first lady has made preparation to cook for dinner already

Colossians 2:8-23
8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits1 of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also you were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities2 and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.3

Let No One Disqualify You
16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions,4 puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations—21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.

Lord_Reed:
Some people can be really silly; SEX is an invention? Soon dumbass will come and tell us pooing is an invention. SMH

For me I'd say man's hands down greatest invention is the TRANSISTOR. It is the basis for all Electronics, Microchips, Integrated Circuits and in progression computers and the internet.

If man had not invented the Transistor there'd be no information age.

You may just be right, almost everything else mentioned needs a transistor or similar deceive to run. One the other hand it seems man needs religion to run, religion will give you a run for ur money.

Na between transistor and religion o. Who go settle am?

All of una dont make me vex go reset my password so i can post.


Electricity was discovered and harnessed. It was NOT INVENTED. Analogy - Tomatoes were discovered but tomato soup was invented

If you mentioned something that does not exist in nature like internet, mobile phones, aircraft you are right. If you mentioned something in nature (visible or not) you  are mentioning a discovery



in·vent

verb (used with object)
1.
to originate or create as a product of one's own ingenuity, experimentation, or contrivance: to invent the telegraph.
2.
to produce or create with the imagination: to invent a story.
3.
to make up or fabricate (something fictitious or false): to invent excuses.
4.
Archaic . to come upon; find.




Whether or not religion is an invention is discussion for another day

would you allow/cause an avoidable loss of human life in order to avoid lying?

Good Move - The Yorubas say 'Ori Omo ni pe omo wale'

I saw this online. Wondering if it apply to Nigerian too and to what degree

Men Over 40 Who Have Never Been Married

Survey Results
What do men who’ve never been married, age 40 and over, really think and feel about their situation and the institution of marriage? Carl Weisman, M.S., found the answer when he conducted an online survey in the summer of 2006. While researching his new book, So Why Have You Never Been Married?, he received responses from 1533 heterosexual men (95% of whom were American and the rest Canadian) with answers to 44 questions.

Here’s what he found:

12% feel their parents’ relationship had a great deal of influence on their never marrying, but 64% feel there was little or no influence

Only 12% feel their closest friend’s marital status plays a role in their own marital decision

18% reported having had over 100 sexual partners

24% had less than 10 sex partners

31% were engaged at least once

77% reported they were not in a love relationship at the time of the survey

44% fear ending up alone; 37% regret never having been married

28% say they fear marriage while 45% fear divorce

33% do not believe in soul mates and another 33% believe in them but are not waiting to meet theirs

48% fear marrying the wrong person, 5% fear never getting married

40% have a positive view of marriage; 17% are negative

62% say they’d like to be married; 8% would not; 31% are undecided

40% are not sure or don’t believe they can be satisfied with just one sexual partner for the rest of their life

In response to the question, Which is most important to you in a long-term relationship?, the men responded this way: 49% - personality and sense of humor; 15% - sexual compatibility; 13% - intelligence; 12% - physical attractiveness; 6% - spiritual/religious compatibility; and 5% - financial stability

Even if they found the right partner, 44% would still not marry her; 25% would live with her; and 14% would date her but live separately

In response to the question, How do you feel about never marrying?, they responded this way: 26% are indifferent or neutral; 17% are content; 8% are happy; 15% feel lonely; 6% feel unhappy; 4% feel confused or lost; and less than 1% are angry or mad.

@Spyker

Tough one but it can be arranged. Have your brother mail me. At this rate he is going to need professional help in finding one

@rokiatu

i organize speed-dating events and half of my clients are in their 40s

Half amebo, Half research

But seriously; i organize speed-dating events and half of my clients are in their 40s and the other half in their 30s. So this is research to help me understand my clientele and serve them better as we are also planning to start  relationship counseling.

Hi Guys,

Tell us your story. Do you know anyone who is 40 years or older who has never been married. Why is that ? By choice or not? Tell us the stories so we can learn and not repeat the same mistakes

The Six year old can bath while i brush and fix my hair on the weekdays. and when he/she is done i can wash his/privates properly. Will give him/her a good scrub down on Saturdays and Sunday. For the six year old it really is about teaching him/her to take responsibility for his/her own personal hygine. I will also expect him to know that dirty clothes go in d laundry basket and dirty plates go in the kitchen sink. Will also expect her to dress herself if i lay out her outfit for the day

The 2 year old cannot and should not be allowed to bath or play with water in the bath room by herself. Period

Can someone please pass the guguru and zobo please. Turning into a rather long soap-opera.

@kobikwelu abeg email me small zobo and plenty guguru while we continue to pray for those that seek the good of Nigeria (Goodluck) and reverse the fortune of those that do not (Kitchen cabinet)

EzeUche has apologized o. Abeg leave him alone - it takes real courage to be able to admit ur mistake and apologise for them.


As per DD and OGD - all i can say is "Aje ke lana, omo ku loni , "

If you don't understand Yoruba ask ur Yoruba friend to interpret

.

MTN is justified in trying to  relocate to Ghana and Nigeria Govt is justified in increasing their tax  and others who relocate headoffice operation or outsource a substantiual part of it. Its just sad that the tax won't go into employment generation. It will just end up in the pockets of a few fat-headed politicians.

all she wanted from u was sex. u were her booty call. U r a guy now, u know how it is.  

Dont worry too much cause she will call u sometime in the future when she is bored and needs someone to play with.

Stop moaning and get over it

i like

"I AM"

it brookes not argument, need no explanation, it simply is. U either know He is or you dont

It even sound niv\ce in yoruba

"Emi Ni"

the simplest name are the most powerful.

Someone i know interviewed at  gtbank  in a shirt and shirt and got the job. And even now  she goes to work in shirt and trouser since she doesnt interface with customers at all and she does casuals (jeans and t.shirt or native) on Fridays.

She works in a bank and has about 4 suits in all and they are all gathering dust.

If you are competent i can assure you that no one will penalise u except if its  first generation bank, a consulting job or an interview with a law firm. (u know those people will wear suits even if they are in the Sahara)

The only thing suits are good for as far as i  am concerned is when u have no idea what to wear to work - just throw on a suit

whats with all these people forming butter?

Abeg use vaseline or olive oil jare. Anythin else says u r a sissy.

It show u are not too self conscios about your looks, na papa god just dash u fine skin.

Imagine a friend of urs uses face cream, hand cream and  face powder wont u think he is a sissy.

yes but in another 2 years

but in the mean time u r not allowed to even go near her. Its called statutory rape oga. Wait another 2 years

David saw Bathseba while he was on his balcony. Does that mean that walking on ur balcony will lead u to sin.
Bathseba was seen naked by the king while having her bath. Does that mean its a sin to have ur bath?


Ur logic is weird and unfounded but i guess u just enjoy religious arguments

Loved someone like that too but we are different in that u made  a  fundamental mistake of getting married when u should have taken a risk and held out for true love and waited for this guy to be ready.

How to remedy the situation - u r going to have to loose this ur friend as both a friend and  a love interest.

1.Stop thinking about him. Anytime ur mind wonders to him switch topics in your head deliberately (visualise a mental button that u can turn on and off). Go on a complete fast of the guy. U are obviously going to break this commandment a few times but its is important that u try  and with time i assure him that the he will stop being ur waking and sleeping thot. hjave bible verses u can confess during the times u tend to think of him (google for bible verse on Christ being ur strength)

2 .Avoid situations where u tend to think of him a  lot like:

           driving home alone in ur car and u start daydreaming in traffic - pick someone from ur office to go home with u in the car and chat with

          spooning in bed with ur husband -- be the outer spoon so that ur husbands imagine is continually before u and ur mind wont start fantasizing

         Seeing a baby and dreaming of having his --Imagine he is impotent  or there is some really ugly gene lying dormant in his family waiting to be latch on to his child.


3. Explain to ur friend that for the sake of ur sanity and marriage  that u have to cut all contact with him . Ask the guy to help u by not picking ur calls and not  replying ur mails and sms. He has no business encouraging u.

4. Maintain physical contact with ur husband -- have lunch with him during the week, escape to a quiet hotel a few weekends in the year with him. Share the same bedroom. Hold each other  when sleeping. Buy karma sutra book and make a resolution to try all the position with him before year end. etc

The sad truth is that u r going to have to loose a friend but the other option u have is worse

50 Naira bread + either 30 naira akara, moinmoin or beans. Just ensure its "our daily bread" (other wise known as agege bread) and some sort of protein (not egg o. that is too expensive for this budget)

Keep the remaining 20 Naira for pure water thruout the rest of the day cause u r going to need it.

Y else do u think brick layer eat it?

We call it six- to- six at work. eat at 6 am and u wont need to eat till 6 pm.


You will need an extra hundred naira at the end of the week to buy drugs o take care of your constipation sha


All the best. Hope things get better.
