Ateke Tom, billionaire!!! Was he not a Militant war lord,?

Wey no even go school sef..I tire for my country.

Why are we concerned about the comments of an American nonentity? Until today, I had never even heard about this fellow and his blog. How does his comments affect the price of my business products? I don't even know why we give people like this such publicity on Nairaland.

"Hannibal" Achuzia! The man who invented the phrase "move or I move you!"

Rugged guy. Those are guys who saw war face to face, not this joker Nnamdi Kanu who has never seen Heckler & Kocks in his life.

Am seriously ashamed of myself.. I can't show them at home

Guy, you are still young. As you grow older, you will find out that these exam things are the very least of life's problems. I was the best in all my schools and wrote all exams including university only once. It took me several years of working for the Federal Govt and private companies to realize that being able to make a living in today's Nigeria does not depend on paper qualifications.

I would advise you to study for another JAMB, but also start acquiring skills that are relevant to today's world. Even foreign-trained Master's Degree holders are looking for work in Nigeria. I met one I knew from my childhood the other day. Has a UK Masters, has been looking for work for the past two years.

If there are no jobs in Dubai, is it here in Nigeria that there are jobs? People should stop hunting for jobs but seek to create them. Entrepreneurship is the way. Every society has needs. Identify the needs and fill the gap and you are in money. Even if you put me in the Sahara desert, all I need is my internet connection and solar-powered laptop and I am good to go.

This is a very unprofessional testimony by the CMD. Was a toxicology screen done? This usually takes three weeks, so how could the CMD know for sure that it was an overdose of the injections that killed Chief Adeleke? Are there toxicology results that can show this?

Is anyone else having issues withdrawing from upwork? The site has been unstable since yesterday.

I withdrew yesterday, but the site has been under maintenance. It should be going now.

DieBuhari:
I didn't understand how well Fulani herdsmen collaborate with our security agencies until last week when soldiers blocked a full lane of Itobe Ajaokuta bridge for Fulani herdsmen to cross with their cows while forcing vehicles to cram themselves in the other lane. Soldiers controlling traffic for cows!
You need to see how messed up the bridges has been since that day with cattle faeces.

That is a continuous process. I have witnessed this for myself as far back as 2013. In that instance, we had to wait 30 minutes for the cows to complete the crossing. Personally, I do not see anything wrong with this. It is better to have controlled crossings than have cars competing with cows on the bridge where either car or cow can be knocked into the River Niger!

The list

Me: Hello, I want to buy your bitcoin
Seller: your moniker,
Me: agarawu23
(Seller replies 10mins after)
Seller: you are not on the trusted list, we will use escrow
Me: okay... Bring your escrow
Seller didn't come back till now, his preferred escrow might/may have highjacked the bitcoin.

I think we need to scrap that trusted ppl list.
Make newcomer dey trade with ease cos they are on the list why we wey don old here dey lose deal even without any criminal activities or signal. I think its just and advantage for some and disadvantage to some.

That list is still important. Maybe the word "trusted" should be replaced with something else, because we have a few who were on that list and now have cases against them.

Scammers paradise. But the fact is that there is nowhere money changes hands where you will not find scammers. Abeg I wan start BTC business too o.

computerwiz2:
it is very sad how the mods move this so called fake traveller's posts to the frontpage. yesterday half of the pictures he posted on that owerri thread were actually from other states. my advise is that the mods should stop encouraging this fraud with frontpage and also delete any further thread he creates. nairaland should not be used as a place where misinformation is promoted.

Mr Man,
I have business interests in Ebonyi state. I first travelled there in 1997 just one year after the state was created. I have traveled round there a lot. I know many parts of that state. I can categorically tell you that the pictures are all from AI and a few other parts of the state. Many of you have never travelled out of your little s***hole cubicles. So stop uttering what you do not know.

David Umahi the present governor is God's answer to the prayers of Ebonyians who saw hell under Martin Elechi. Elechi did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as governor for 8 years. Umahi in 2 years in a recessed economy is doing things Elechi could not do in 8 years of an oil boom.

I suggest you buy a ticket and travel down to the state on a fact-finding mission.

BestySam:
I smell lies sha. Okposi is not in Abakiliki, it's in Ohozara and these pics?

Those pics are for real. I passed some of those roads last month when I was there.

To think that David Umahi is doing what that old thief Martins Elechi could not do in 8 years shows that the problem we have in Nigeria is bad leadership. David Umahi is working during a recession. What did Elechi do in 8 years during an oil boom?

I was in AI recently and did not recognize many roads in that place. Kudos to the governor there.

All these olofofo friends. Wetin concern this woman with boxing match between gentry and mercy? Abi na she be referee?

durotoyeis:
i need a bureau de change license any where in Nigeria for sale urgent!! please e-mail me at durotoyeisaac@yahoo.com

Security deposit with CBN is N35million, in addition to other documents. Licenses are also not transferable. Go to CBN and find out what it takes to get one.

Glad to be back after a one week ban.

The highest fuel I have bought at a go for any of my cars since May 2016 is 3k. Most times, it is 1k or 2k max! The day I calculated the fuel I spent on one of my jeeps in 2015 to be N440,000 on fuel alone was the time I decided something had to change. Now, no unnecessary movements. I do more of Skype meetings now rather than just drive all around town from office to office.

My lunch is either done at home or at the Area 3 food court. When I see some guys spending 3k to 5k on a single meal, I shudder. I have determined that food must be the least of my expenses.

There is no shame in cutting your expenses and spending more money on investments.

What stupid award is this?

essay123:
Some People are funny. Send valid ID card make I send first dem no go gree. Make I send you valid ID card make you send first? They still wont agree.
They are the ones giving scammers opportunity. If u know you are legit what do you have to hide. I can do video chat, snap any style wey u want cos am not planning to scam anyone any day.

In this era of identity theft, you must really be high to ask people to send you their valid ID, or for you to send them valid ID. Are you aware that there are international syndicates that produce bogus international passports? How is it that drug dealers and others sometimes have 10 passports with different assumed identities? How do you think they get the profiles to produce such passports? You think a government issued ID should be sent to just anyone, especially on a faceless forum like this?

haba!

Damaging uppercut!

That uppercut did the damage. Klitshcko could not shake the cobwebs off thereafter.

Oh Lord,
which kain country wey I come find myself this period? I better start looking for where I can buy citizenship by investment. I am tired of this nonsense.

There were well documented cases of underage voting in several Northern states which gave APC an edge, just as it was also clear that the election results in Rivers state were clearly rigged in favour of the PDP.

Jonathan put the interest of the country first, because he could have clearly contested the results and Nigeria would have gone down the road of destruction. What we are seeing now with herdsmen attacks and killings in Southern Kaduna would have been like child's play all across the country.

I think it is better everyone just lets issues die down. We are here with a Buhari presidency and we should accept it and make the best we can out of it. Simple.

Good. Now use your celebrity status to tell the First Lady to convince her husband to pay his workers. Their cries are going up to God daily. God shows more restraint than any human being can, but one day He will strike.

So the fool did not see the road to the houses of the ex-governors who have stolen their states dry...it had to be a foreigner at that. Why are people this heartless?

Richard Quest is the only gay person I can say I truly like. Funny but true.

The only funds I sell to the 3 exchangers I work with are the ones I have made myself. The drama here is too much and as someone whose health has not been at optimum level, I no get power to talk, shout or take any actions. Thankfully this has worked for me so far.

ochejoseph:
Usually I stay off threads involving Apostle Johnson Sulaiman for two reasons .

1. I know something is not right somewhere

2. I run the temptation of going against scriptures and enter into the relm of judging.

Unfortunately when I came across this screaming headline "Apostle Johnson Suleiman calls David mother a Harlort" I was alarmed, but I quickly decided to dubble check, this article is not meant to rubbish the clergy man or support his assertion but to present the truth

Glancing through several scriptures, commentary ,Jewish documents, books and internet Files here is what I discovered

1. The Bible provides little detail about the mother of David the most revealing insight into Davids family was made During Samuels visit to
Jesse's family to anoint a king

I sam 16 verse 1-13

2. Searches revealed that The name of Davids mother was Nitzevet, an Israelite woman . according to the Talmud, but she is not named in the Bible. She was an ancestor of the Kings of Judah accordingly to Wikipedia

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitzevet


3 . According to records Jesse was not the first man Husband of Davids mother.
Nahash an Amonite king was her first Husband
(2 Sam. 17:25, 2 Sam. 10:2) & (1 Sam. 11:1; 1 Sam. 12:12).
Note : under the old testament ( Mosaic Law) divorce was allowed .

This explains why Davids two sister's where fathered by Nahash and not Jesse (David had two half-sisters (Zeruiah, Abigail) 1 Chron. 2:13-16 .

So why do few analyst and "scholars" refer to this woman as a harlot ?

1. Perhaps one of their greatest weapon could be found in one of greatest Psalms of David. Psalm 51 they claim his mother was pregnant out of marriage.


Let's take a close look at Psalm 51
kindly note the emphasis David puts On himself..,

Psalm 51:1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out MY transgressions.2 Wash me throughly from MINE iniquity, and cleanse me from MY sin.3 For I acknowledge MY transgressions: and MY sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.

Unfortunately, most people who want to reinforce the notion of Promiscuity will run to verse 5b

"in Sin did my mother conceive me"

David was not blaming his sin on his birth, but he was simply stating that even the circumstances related to his birth were surrounded by sin, and he also says that he was ”wonderfully” and ”marvelously” made by God in the womb (Ps. 139:13-14).

2. Another incident they try to use to justify this notion that does not edify is in 1 sam 16 asserting that Jesse did not consider David as one of his Sons that's why he was not considered as worthy of appearing before the prophet Samuel.


This is another speculation without any proof whatsoever.

Summary.
Davids mother was not a harlot, even the Torah advocates and those who claim his brothers treated him as a second class citizens as a result of his prayer will bow to the fact that even before slaying Goliath, his brothers were very interested in Davids safety and wanted him out of harms way as quickly as possible.

His parents were together and during his crisis period he sought safety for them

1 Samuel 22:3-4 "And David went thence to Mizpeh of Moab: and he said unto the king of Moab, Let my father and my mother, I pray thee, come forth, and be with you, till I know what God will do for me

The scriptures are explicit & God himself exposed the adulterous life of David as a king, if his mother was a harlot it would have been known, his blackmailers and enemies would have trumpeted it when he became a Israel's most wanted man .

Rahab a Harlot was an ancestor of Jesus as clearly seen In Mathew Chapter 1 :5 but to claim that Davids Mother was a harlot might be misrepresenting the truth and taking speculative commentary too far,

To end this little piece I will leave us with this scripture which has helped me from dwelling on unnecessary and unedificational theology.


'The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law" Deuteronomy 29 vs 29

Our emphasis should be on Jesus who died for our sins, surrender your life to him today and give your life a true meaning.


Enjoy your week

Splendid. That is why we all must study the Word to get the Rhema of the Word for ourselves.
