Op: you have really contributed to Linda's success in some way, being a consistent member of her blog. Please take it a step further, buy her a GOOD deodorant.. That patch underneath her arm is really unsightly.. Eww.

Fruityjojo: well said.

That is certainly no engagement ring.. Besides it's worn on the wrong finger. I am very sure a 'wannabe' like Tonto would wear an engagement ring american style.. Fourth finger on the left

Really cute pix.. But can't y'all tell that the baby isn't really praying? That is a usual position for sleeping babies, just that it was elevated by the couch pillow. The 'dad' is only playing along by assuming the praying position.

vanguard1:
Yea, the people get to nominate while the judges does the final selection based on the peoples choices and at their own(judges) discretion.


I will follow you, endeavour to follow back ASAP

Great

This will be so much fun.. Wish you had more categories too

I use the laugh smiley cos I seem to have 'plenty' suggestions. Hope you don't mind.

vanguard1:
Yes, am the creative director, the organizer have chosen to remain anonymous.
That's why the nomination is open to every member while the judges will collate and present the final nominees.
I will send you a private message, please do reply as soon as possible.

Okidoki

You stated earlier while responding to someones post that nominations are the exclusive rights of the judges and now you state a variance, I hope the people get to nominate and judges select based on the peoples choices though.

I usually have challenges accessing private messages sent via NL. Don't know why although, I observed I can only view messages from members who follow me and I follow back.

Good job OP.

Like someone already observed, your definition of 'most controversial' doesn't capture/portray/depict the category of award. Kindly address that.

What criteria would be employed in selecting your judges and who does the selection?

You say you are the host, are you also the organiser and creative director?

What is the guarantee that nominees are selected on a basis that is objective and thorough? Especially since NL has various sections and many wonderful contributors only focus on certain sections? The chances of having nominees who are only know in particular sections is quite high, how do you avoid this?

Lots of questions I know, but they will help in organizing a fair award

raheematluv: is she complaining u dis skinny tin

And you know she ain't complaining because?

You know I'm skinny because?

Your post is full of assumptions.. You know what they say about assumptous fellas? I'll type it in a nice way.. They usually exhibit the barest minimum level of intelligence.

Stop being so assuming!

One last question to you 'annonymous defender of Ini', how much do you get paid to diss anyone who doesn't find Ini's current look appealing?

You know what, save it! Don't reaLly care!

chykfy:
Its nt good for her health, good point bt nt pleasant to d eyes I beg to differ cos all eyes aren't seeing same thing, to me she looks fabulous

Alright gurl.. You say she looks fab.. I gotta respect your opinion

chykfy:
Na sin to grow? Is she beautiful or not, u dey comment fatter. So make she go die because because she is adding flesh mtcheww

How do you come to the ignorant conclusion that fat should be associated with growing?

She should watch the fat! Doesn't look pleasant to the eyes and certainly does no good to her health!!!

kingthreat: So there was a vacancy for this position and the young competent graduates in Edo State were not given the opportunity to apply. Now this position goes to a woman who who might not havr finished secondary school. Lets face it people, politicians don't give a shyt about us . But they will do anything to protect their political careers. Nonsense.

Ever learnt about favour? Well, one sure thing about it is that it aint fair!!! Favour aint fair!

Onegai:

Loool. You do realise that when Joseph was in prison, he had dreams about the plague and his advise was what saved Egypt from starvation and famine, right? What did this woman do, other than benefit from a situation where a politician is trying to buy public goodwill, knowing Nigerians won't see or think past "oh, she has blessed with millions". By no merit whatsoever, she got a position that could have gone to someone who would have hired other people and helped reduce the rampant unemployment in the state. Oshiomole has shown how willing he is to play to the gallery.

But don't let Logic stop you from your goodnews gospel. Lol.

You have missed the point! God had already mapped out Joseph's future! He showed him in a dream that his family would bow to him. The entire circumstances Joseph faced was the path way to occupying that position that would make his family serve him!

It was not the mere fact that he interpreted the dream that made him rule Egypt, it was the FACT that God was with him. Even pharaoh acknowledged that and gave him the authority to rule on that revelation!!!

So, in the case of this widow, God hand settle down for the matter

maxgold: God will never come down from heaven to bless someone. He'll surely use somebody. Against all odds, she's been blessed by her God-sent-Angel...no wonder Don Moen sang "He works in a way we cannot see.." From nobody to somebody, street hawking (inside rain & sun) to an office woman (inside ac). Even if she didnt make it beyond 2015 on that seat, she wont spend that 2million naira lavishly becos that affliction wont rise the second time in her life. CONGRATS woman!! And dear God, let that person you've sent to help me locate me divinely wherever I am as soon as possible...

Amen brather! Amen!!! That woman's testimony is my prophesy! I am next in line in the name of Jesus!!!

Just like jankoliko this woman life don change!

If she was told on the morning of the day that the whole incident began that in less than two months, she would not only be a millionaire in Nigeria currency but also would walk the corridors of power, I'm quite sure she would have laughed herself into coma.

Na so, God dey change person life!!! He can use anything, anyone and any circumstance/situation to bring His will to pass!

Truly, its not by power, overly hustling or might!!!

Twale to baba God

Wooow!!! Bodashee, woow!!!

Really great job! Mehn, the challenges you had to go through.

Oh great! Congrats...

The Lord will help you, you will experience favour every where you go. Men and women see you and fall over themselves to help you. You shall NOT be at a disadvantage or stranded! Divine resources will be available to you and your results will NOT be commensurate to your labour by reason of the blessing of God upon your business.

Come back rejoicing n testifying of Hiis goodness, in the name of Jesus!

emmog25: Hmmmm this is interesting... The truth is every living being feel depressed, and sometime contemplate sucide. People I want you to know that you are stronger than nature if you can see the inner you... U'll will defeat depression. Jst try and look inwradly... Don't let uncertainty end your life... The most successful person on earth is also scared abt 2mao (because it is so uncertain).

Not true! Not everyone contemplates suicide. I have NEVER contemplated suicide. Yes, it is part of life to feel dissappointed but it is NOT a usual, natural occurrence for every "being" to contemplate suicide.

One major benefit of having a relationship with Jesus is that, you will UNDERSTAND your TRUE worth! You will realize how valuable you are and know your purpose, why God created you and your assignment.

When you get busy doing the things He planned for you to do on EARTH, you'll experience total fulfillment and joy

Depressionkills and Onila:

I felt really touched by your posts.

I can only suggest to you a sure solution. Trust God and seek a relationship with Him. Truly, in His presence there is fullness of joy and where there is joy, depression is non existent.

Please my intention is NOT to be spooky or religious, the plan of the enemy is to STEAL, KILL and DESTROY..your dreams, your destiny and if you are afflicted with depression, it means you cannot experience the rich life God has planned for you.

DK: you mentioned it runs in your family, you can decide to put a STOP to it! When you become born again and fill your spirit with Gods word, your life takes a whole new turn.

I am so sorry for all you've being through and pray you come out totally renewed and restored to the state that God originally designed for you, in the name of Jesus.

Lots of love

inforesource: Do you have a good number of contacts on your bbm? Do you have products/services you want to advertise to your bbm contacts? I will design a flash display of at least, 5 products/services on one single bbm picture display. Contact me on Whatsapp. A good strategy I use personally n it works great.

Great idea

@Naijacutee: thanks. Nice one

fflamingo: How would a young entrepreneur age 20 convince customer to get service done.

Why is the age the focus here? If you have the skills required to provide exceptional service, then sell your abilities.

20 aint that young, I was through with the University at that age and ready to take over the world. Lol

Infact, these days, your "young" age can work to your advantage especially if you are skilled and portray an exceptional personality.

Ha! Bodashee!!! Please do NOT make the same mistake made by a lot of people! How do you expect to gain favourable audience with the MD if you can't win the favour of the receptionist?

Infact, you must treat the receptionist/secretary specially, make them feel like the MOST important person in that office! Reason is, they already feel inferior because of their designation and frankly they are almost always overlooked, which is really unfair and annoying!

When I need to propose a service, I go to the office, charm the secretary, call him/her, sir/ma. Then, I start talking to them like they are the ones I came to see and ask (like I do not know) who they would advise me to speak with in that office, whilst adding that I would appreciate an audience with the person in charge.

It always works! Treat the security and front desk personnel with extra respect and they will treat your proposal with extra favor

If you walk into an office all haugty, feeling that the only person that can attend to you is the MD, the secretary will rudely show you the way out or more wickedly, trash your proposal the moment you step out of the door.

My advise? If you are going with five samples, give the secretary three

Zatwo: *thanks

Thank You Lord, YOU ARE SOO AMAAYZING

This week is blessed!!!

I prosper in ALL my endeavours! My steps are ordered by the Lord, in the name of Jesus! My heart is instructed by the Spirit of God! My mind is sound and I operate from the fullness of wisdom and knowledge deposited in me!

The Spirit of the ONLY true God teaches me to profit and leads me in the way that I should go! Failure is far from me, NO evil shall come near me, oppression, shame, ridicule and disadvantaged circumstances are far from me because my righteousness is of the Lord and I am HELPED by the Lord!

Help is always available to me! Protocols are broken for my sake! Men fall over themselves to render service to me! I shall NOT be stranded! Resources are supernaturally provided for me and ALL my needs are met!

I HAVE given. Therefore the Lord will cause men to give to me, good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over! I live in plenty! There is NO lack around me! God has made ALL grace abound towards me and I have ALL sufficiency in ALL things and also abound towards EVERY good work.

I am NOT weary in doing good, I overcome evil with good and delight myself in the law of the Lord!

The Lord delights in the prosperity of His servants! I am prosperous! I have bagan to prosper and will continue to prosper for MY path is like a shining light that keeps on shining to perfection!

I am basking in THE BLESSING!!!

Glory to GOD!!!

Okay, so any plans for your gifts basket line of business?

I WILL be doing that this season

So much abundance! The blessing is speaking

Hey babe, good to catch you online

Darlyn sis, how are you?

What are your plans regarding the hamper line of your business, this christmas?

Also, regarding your question, do most Hotels not already have a pastry section?

Why not focus on schools instead? You know they will surely have christmas party.

This is a really great thread

002, Good job! Your determination is awesome.

I started jogging last month, after I read that sprinting is more effective, I started sprinting as well; that is after jogging for some minutes.

The feeling is great! I also try to control my diet, though I eat once a day, normal plate of food! (All those small portion tinz aint for me..lol).

I currently weigh 60kg, would like to weigh 55kg by December, looking to be really lean n tonned

I think I will embark on a 7day fruit fast! God help me!!!

Hello all, I celebrate you.

I hope you have been having a victorious time declaring Gods word. Each time you speak Gods word, there is a force, a spiritual force at work! Words don't die! And Gods word is ABLE to perform EVERY purpose for which it was sent! When you speak the word, IN FAITH, you have sent it on an errand and the angels of God (the reapers, who harvest the fruits of the word, matt: 13:30) will go to work to harvest the fruits that word has produced!

You MUST speak Gods word IN FAITH because without faith it is NOT possible to please God! It is faith in the King that activates the power of His word!

You MUST continue in speaking because like I earlier mentioned, words don't die, infact they go to create the future you speak about, they run ahead of you. This is why your life goes in the direction of the dominant thoughts in your heart and the words you speak.

Speak them, inspite of the circumstance, you may be seeing what is contrary to what you see, but you know, the just lives by faith and NOT by sight! When you speak and see contrary, speak what you want to see! In Gods kingdom, we believe, speak and receive. But in the world, they see first, speak and believe.

Say them like a patient whose life depends on a drug! They are your capsules and you have to keep administering them.

This is how I live in victory! The number of my challenges are ALWAYS the number of my victories! I determine the course of my life through Gods word and when the challenges hit sooo bad, I fight back with the word, enforcing the victory and I see the reality of it!

You also need to learn to be patient, this is NOT magic, it is NOT a temporary fix, it is permanent solution. Do NOT give up because you make the mistake of thinking doubt, keep pressing on, God is NEVER late!

Lots of Love

@4tunbest: welldone.

Zatwo: Can sombody give me confessions concerning health?

By His stripes I was healed! I have been healed by every stripe on the body of Jesus at the cross. Therefore, I decree that I walk in health in the name of Jesus!

Christ has delivered me from the curse of the law, he took upon Himself ALL of my sicknesses and diseases. Therefore, in the name of Jesus! I decree that no germ, virus or disease shall live in my body! Every organ, cell, bone, tissue and my blood functions to the perfection to which God created them! I decree that I am NOT weak but strong! I refuse sickness the right to live in my body because whatever I disallow here on Earth is disallowed in Heaven.

I do NOT walk by sight but by faith! It does NOT matter what symptoms my body experiences, I know that I am whole, my mind is whole, my body is whole and I am healed! I walk in total health!

Glory to God!!!

Glory to God in the highest! Glory to Him who was, who is and who is to come! Blessed is the name of the most high! For God has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is ABOVE ALL other names that at the mention of the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow and every tongue confesses that Jesus is Lord!

In the name of Jesus, every foot standing contrary to Gods will along my path bows! I have authority in Christ Jesus, whatever I bound on Earth is bound in Heaven and whatever I loose on Earth is loosed in Heaven. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I bind the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places and render their operations useless and ineffective against me.

I loose every spiritual blessings in heavenly places, I loose the hidden treasures in secret places and I decree the physical manifestations of spiritual blessings that bear my name tag in the name of Jesus!

I decree that the rest of the days in 2013 are my best days for the Lord shall crown the year with goodness and cause my path to drop fatness! I shall NEVER have a better yesterday, my path shines brighter and brighter because my righteousness is of the Lord!

I am blessed, sooo blessed it cannot be denied or explained by the natural mind!

Glory to God!!!

Wow! Great! Glory to God!

I see you're into the hamper business, let's talk please.

You sent me a message and I can't view it oh.

OyinPrince: welldone

You shall have whatesoever YOU say!

Glory to God

Thank you Jesus! Thank you Jesus! Thanksgiving shall NEVER cease from my heart in the name of Jesus! I am a thanks giver, I will FOREVER sing the praises of MY God, consistently testifying of His love and goodness!!! I shall NOT die but live to declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living!

Greater is He that lives in me than he that is in the world! The Holy Spirit is resident in me, thus I have world overcoming faith and I have defeated the evil one!

I am blessed and decree that my day is blessed! I am blessed in my going out, I blessed in my coming in, I am blessed in my deeds because I am a doer of the WORD! Through me, the knowledge of Christ is diffused! My life is a tool for evangelism and I am a vessel of honor! I am the perfect workmanship of God, proudly displaying His goodness!!!

I am NOT ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation. I delight myself in the things of God and I dedicate my life unto the pursuit of things that are pleasing to Him! I seek FIRST His kingdom and ALL other things are added to me!

I have abundance of ALL things that pertains to life and godliness! I am enriched by the word of God! My spirit is enriched! My mind, my soul and body is enriched! I have began to prosper and NOTHING around me withers!!!

I am basking in THE BLESSING and I walk in the manifestations of THE BLESSING!!!
Glory to God!

Welldone Oga K.K.B
