Politics / Re: Donald Trump Blasts Nigeria Again!! - (A Joke) by Stoical: 12:34am On Aug 17, 2016
rakish:
America will make the greatest mistake by voting this man. The man does not know how to talk. He doesn't have charisma and does not even know the worth of being the US president. An educated man like him should know that America is what it is today because past and present American leaders tried to build a synergy and a healthy relationship with other countries. America cannot survive on its own, it needs allies and he is gradually destroying these allies with his bad mouth. Hillary Clinton may not be the best choice but she is way matured and diplomatic than Trump. He sounded so discriminatory and that is always the problem he has. Am quite skeptical he really said those things but I won't be surprised either.

My brother, if you read the last line, then you will understand what they writer did... Trump never said those words.

Greatzeus:
In Christianity,no Jews or gentiles,male or female,we are all saved by grace through the atoning death of Christ.A woman is qualified to do anything or take any position in church,just as the men.
There is no where in the bible where women where forbidding to preach in church.The place you quoted was a response by Paul to what was happening in the Corinthian church then,he gave the advice to bring order in that church,it doesn't apply to all churches.
You guys above should stop being ignorant


well I believe that there is no man or woman in the sight of God. and I align to your reasoning that it was just paul's advice. then again, the bible was inspired, or were dome statements never inspired?

Religion / Women Are Not Permitted To Teach In Church... by Stoical: 5:31pm On Jul 17, 2016
My dear friends, permit me to use this medium and seek your opinions on this matter. My church goes with the opinion that a woman can not teach in the church except when the program involves only women.

what does the bible says about this and is it really what the bible teaches?
Please, don't ask me which church. Thanks
Sports / Breaking: Chelsea Sign N'golo Kante by Stoical: 7:06pm On Jul 16, 2016
The midfielder is the club’s second signing of the summer
Chelsea have announced the signing of Leicester City midfielder N’Golo Kante on a five year deal.
N’Golo Kante
The 25 year old is the second signing for the club after Michy Batshuayi.
Kante was one of the key players as Leicester City won a maiden Premier League title last season
After signing a five-year contract, Kante said:
“I am so happy to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Europe. It’s a dream come true for me.
“The opportunity to work with Antonio Conte, a brilliant coach, and some of the best players in the world was simply too good to turn down.
“My first season in English football was very special and now I hope to go on to achieve even more during my time as a Chelsea player. I am looking forward to meeting up with my new team-mates and helping the club achieve a lot of success.”
The 25-year-old came close to winning Euro 2016 earlier this month. He was part of the France squad that was denied a host-team triumph at Euro 2016 by an extra-time Portugal goal in the final.

Politics / Our Politicians Have Hoodwinked Majority Of Us... by Stoical: 8:22am On Jul 07, 2016
THIS IS ASSESSMENT ON AN INSTITUTION WITH ALL POLITICAL PARTIES. SO NOT A DISCUSSION ON ANY POLITICAL PARTY.

21 senators currently receiving pensions from government as ex-governors and deputy governors.

The current senators who once served as governors are Bukola Saraki of Kwara, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso of Kano, Kabiru Gaya of Kano, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom, Theodore Orji of Abia, Abdullahi Adamu of Nasarawa, Sam Egwu of Ebonyi, Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara, Joshua Dariye of Plateau Jonah Jang of Plateau, Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto, Ahmed Sani Yarima of Zamfara, Danjuma Goje of Gombe, Bukar Abba Ibrahim of Yobe, Adamu Aliero of Kebbi, George Akume of Benue and Isiaka Adeleke of Osun.

The former deputy governors in the Senate are Ms Biodun Olujimi of Ekiti and Enyinaya Harcourt Abaribe of Abia. Danladi Abubakar Sani served as the acting governor of Taraba state.

Many former governors are also in Buhari's Cabinet as Ministers. This includes: Ngige, Fayemi, Amaechi and Fashola (SAN).).

In Akwa Ibom State, the law provides that ex governors and deputy governors receive pension equivalent to the salaries of the incumbent. The package also includes a new official car and a utility vehicle every four years; one personal aide; a cook, chauffeurs and security guards for the governor at a sum not exceeding N5 million per month and N2.5 million for his deputy governor.

In Rivers, the law provides 100 percent of annual basic salaries for the ex-governor and deputy, one residential house for the former governor “anywhere of his choice in Nigeria”; one residential house anywhere in Rivers for the deputy, three cars for the ex-governor every four years and two cars for the deputy every four years.

It is alledged that in Lagos, a former governor will get two houses, one in Lagos and another in Abuja, estimated at N500 million in Lagos and N700 million in Abuja. He also receives six new cars to be replaced every three years; a furniture allowance of 300 percent of annual salary to be paid every two years, and a N30 million pension annually for life.

This is the reality for all the 21 ex govenors and deputy governors who are currently serving as senators. This same is also true of ex governors who are now serving as Ministers.

NOW I ASK:
How many years did these guys serve their states as governors and deputy governors? Is it more than 8years? Is that a reason to be entitled to pensions for life? Even if they are entitled to pension for life, must it be so outrageous?

As if that is not enough: HOW on earth can any public servant with conscience collect salaries and allowances as a senator or minister, and still have the audacity to claim pensions equivalent to the salaries of a serving governor in Nigeria?

IT ISN'T ROCKET SCIENCE......

Once you are elected a senator or appointed a minister, you must forfeit any pension accruing to you from government at any level until you vacate office. This should also apply to senators collecting military pensions like former Senate President David Mark.
Yet these senators are in the Senate that is inviting the current finance minister to discuss the recession of Nigeria's economy. A senator pockets approximately 30 million naira monthly as salary and allowances. Our "honourables" are not interested to make laws that could restructure our country into economically autonomous federating States/Regions to save the country from sectional agitations that is threatening to destroy Nigeria.

The sad and hopeless situation is that the rest of Nigerians are busy arguing based on party, ethnic and affiliations while these enemies of state continue to rape us.

THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!! � comments please!

Family / Important Message To The Singles by Stoical: 2:28pm On Jun 26, 2016
"MARRIAGE is like a shoe. When you wear
oversize, be ready to drag it along through out life, and when you wear under-size be ready to feel the pains through out life." One thing about marriage is that you don't drop your shoe or remove it at any point, no matter how painful or how stressful it is.
That is why I thought it necessary to write you
this letter.

Dear Singles,

When you are ready to buy your own shoe please
take note of these three things:

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE : Do not look for the
beautiful ones, the nice ones or the cheap ones.
Look for the one that is your size. Not every
handsome, wealthy or intelligent guy is for you,
not every beautiful woman is for you. Look for
the one that is meant for you, the one that aligns
with your values and belief, the one who you meet
at your life's journey. It is important to know where you're going in life before you think of getting a wife.

POSITION : All sizes of shoes are not placed in the
same place.
There is a place for court shoes, laced up shoes,
sport footwear, snickers etc. We have Children sizes, young people's sizes and the adult sizes. Know where to get your own shoe.
Your size cannot be everywhere my brother.
Your type cannot be everywhere my sister.
You cannot be a Christian, and be looking for a wife material at a club.
Your wife or husband can't just be everywhere.
Stick to your values and therein you shall find
someone like you.
But when your values are not defined anyone can
just match you. Discover yourself and define your values.

PERCEPTION : In this kind of shoe purchasing
enterprise, you are not permitted to try the shoe
before you buy.
This is why it is important to seek guidance and counseling, from people who have bought shoes before or are into the business of directing people to the right shoes (Pastors and Relationship coaches).
And most importantly to avoid much time wasting, simply consult the SHOE MANUFACTURER (GOD ALMIGHTY) to tell you
your shoe size...

See you then with your fitted shoe and correct size...

It has happened to me o. This was Sterling's bank operated ATM besides a popular lounge called TUSCANI, along Obi Wale road, Rivers State.

We saw 2 guys complaining of being short paid, instead of 20k, it was 17k. I felt maybe theirs was much, that's why it short-paid them. I wanted to withdraw 5k and whoollaa, it was 3k5. I tried to call their customer care line but to no avail...well, it wasn't my cash, so the owner just say we should forget it, as it was on a Sunday, in December 2015...so, never say never in Nigeria.

This your terrible and pathetically composed English, shows how terrible and ignorant some of you bloggers are.

I doubt the authenticity of this news. You overzealous bloggers can do anything to get fake attention

My brother, just as you've stated, this is a blogger's stunt, for the purpose of publicity and clicks...
On a careful view of the two photos, they look very different...
Photo 1 - The lady looks taller, slimmer and has darker skin colour on her knees
Photo 2 - The lady looks not as tall as the photo 1, fatter and her skin colour aroung the knee cap looks uniformed...

So, I feel, these photos ain't related and are meant for a blog's traffic...

Hello all, thanks for your suggestions, at least, I was able to state the facts, with regards what I believe is avoidable. He promised to do all he can to stay away from her(though over the phone, as other things came up, and we couldn't see face to face again). I will call him in a week's time to know how he's handled it. Thanks once again

Just tell him you're ashamed of his action and that he is heading towards a degenerate lane.
That is if you have the guts. You're his friend afterall. Nowadays people lack friends that will tell them how it is
Dont be that kind of friend


Cool.

Thanks for the advise. I will probably query him enough to know his mind, during and after they had those stints of romance. I equally believe sounding the words with firm and putting them they way they are will do. Also, I'll let him know that there are no 2 ways, than for him to stay as far as possible from his ex, if possible, request to be posted out to another unit, or her ex be directed to report thru another person.

I will really joke with him for a while though, as he would definitely have weigh me down first, if I was in his shoe... Thanks again by the way
