Am telling you

There are different forms of illness.

OMG.I pray my brothers don't marry unforgiving women. Why kill him? You could separate if you can't forgive him.Why take a life you can't give.God,pls save me from heartless people.Let them walk away from me and never come back.This one is scary

HigherEd:
I would tell you that there is little wrong in the prosperity that Oyedepo preaches

1) I have never seen Oyedepo on TV asking for anybody to give to his ministry, schools etc.....

2) I have seen Oyedepo's car before(the one he drives himself). He has been using the same silver car for about three years or so. While I don't know the model, it is a very average car. Seen his house too and sitting room - very very average.

3) As per jet, Benny does not have 6,000 branched churches, Schools to administrate over, Oyedepo does. Ghana branches of Living Faith alone is 150 scattered everywhere. In one particular month he visited 27 countries hence his ministry requires it not as a luxury but a quick means of transportation. So hey it depends on how large and centralised a ministry is and living faith leadership appears to be very centralised.

4) Oyedepo always talks about the limitations of the prosperity gospel but ppl never listen to that they only pick what they want to pick. Even Kenneth Hagin once conformed that "there is a thin line between the permissible and the objectionable when it comes to issues of financial prosperity".

5) Oyedepo doesn't actually have 150 million USD in his account- he just believes it is an insult to equate the worth of a believer to a sum of 150 million.

6) I have visited all kinds of Churches and I tell you Offerings in WC is just once. Apart from special services.

7) If you like slander Oyedepo for preaching tithe or claim tithing is irrelevant. All I know is that Living Faith pays tithes of Billions to another large ministry in Nigeria every month. It takes a man of conviction to do that.

Now if there is anything that frustrates me about Bishop Oyedepo, it is that he refuses to care about his image or even lies put out there against him. Same for pa Adeboye. See how Joseph Prince quickly cleared himself from the yeye Forbes list. Now I am not bothered that Oyedepo and Adeboye are being insulted or mocked but my issue is how it can easily affect baby believers who are easily tilted. And if major pastors are left to be attacked consistently on social media, it is the root of Christianity that would shake
In years to come both the catholics, orthodox and Pentecostals would all suffer for all these unchecked attacks and backbiting within d church. Christianity in general might become more difficult to practice in a few years in this country because the devil has laid a ground work by trying to delegitimise every "who" is "who" in Christianedom and when those folks who are being attacked go on to be with the Lord, we the rest would be dealing with a society that is unreceptive

I pray for the next generations of Christians in Nigeria because they might suffer from the foolishness of we their predecessors.


Lastly as a Christian I won't criticize any other Christian for using a jet because I know fully well that if I had the money and require it then I would buy it. Whatever is unlawful for the pastor is unlawful for every other christian. If a pastor can't be rich then all Christians can't be rich either, if a pastor can't own a jet then no christian can own a jet.

For me, I maintain that a private jet is nothing more different than a private car.

NB: Please don't bother quoting me for slander, if you don't agree just talk your own comot for NL, I no get time for argument till 2am midnite.

I have learnt something

Girls Can Never Do What Guys Can Do

Sometimes i leave just to concentrate on my programmes.

Firefire:
Insinuations/Theories:

1. The fresh Dapchi 120 kidnap was staged for the following reasons:
(a) Justify the request of GMB's $1Bn to fight the BH terrorist. (Fund could be seriously needed to fund next electioneering & campaign)
(b) Keep the girls for few days and release in order to claim 'super hero' compared to the last administration that was rubbished by Northern
elders.
(c) Use the script as a propaganda of effectiveness during the next campaign, being a failed government itself.

2. Boko Haram needs to be granted amnesty with a monthly share from Nigeria resources, having fulfilled their original aim. How do you explain the continuous release of the terrorist by Nigerian Army and the continuous ransom negotiation by this government?

3. Boko Haram are still very active as against the fraudulent lies of this administration to have 'technically and finally defeated BH.

4. Some wicked souls in high places who are gaining BIG from the terrorism fight will never want the fight to end. Hence, the fresh kidnap in another state, (Yobe).


Whatever the case, it shows the issue of BH is not yet over, and it can never be over in as much as General Mohomodu Buhary failed to name their sponsors.

Who are those sponsoring Boko Haram? Alh. Lie Mohammed, Presidency & Buhary, over to you.

If Buhary's administration and APC cannot tell Nigerians now their sponsors, it means terrorism is here to stay permanently in the NORTHERN Nigeria.

I don't even want to be thinking about anything again. I just want my peace of mind.

Its a pity that most girls/lady that's all they have to offer nothing more

Am ashamed its true.But i think those type of girls are meant for those type of men that seeks that as an offer.I cannot be working hard to make myself a better person and someone somewhere will tag me with most girls or won't see my worth becos he has not been working on being better.I dislike that type of life exactly.I believe good people attract good people too.Guys should stop seeing all girls as worthless.

donstan18:
This one you are typing 500k and 2 million up and down, how are we sure you are not owning MTN and GLO!

Below is MY ADVICE

This woman you claimed to love and want to marry, have you asked and confirmed why she wants to marry you?

Is she really inlove with you?
Is she marrying you for love or for money?
Will a lady who loves you attempt such demand?
A lady threatening to call off your wedding if she doesn't get 500k from you should be a clear act to tell you what the future holds.
Be brave!
Think like a man!
Save the future!
Don't be blinded by boobs and ass!
Marriage should be a lifetime contract!

And if I ever hear I REALLY LOVE HER from your mouth again, eh!... If I hear it again!!, If i hear that nonsense again from your mouth!

Exactly.I hate it when the only thing a guy wants from me is boob and ass.Like am worthless.Not even to learn from or better conversation.I think its degrading.Act for guys 24 and below.

slimderek:
Nothing but the Truth. Good girls are no fun. Men want fun and adventure.

Those that do will get it plenty

NosoChic:
Hmmm...Very myopic response!

Let's get this right-The reward for being a good girl or bad girl is not a HUSBAND. The reward for being a good boy or bad boy is also not a WIFE.

Marriage is not about "na me first enter"-it should not be competition. This is what makes so many people be under pressure and "settle". When we now hear cases of women stabbing their husbands and husbands beating/cheating on their wives, we blame it on the devil and start getting all religious!

The work doesn't really lie in GETTING MARRIED, IT's STAYING "HAPPILY" MARRIED that's the hard part.

Exactly.Being happy and comfortable knowing your significant order has sense is the best.

You can't stay away when i was struggling, no assistance, no listening ears, and allow me to go through emotional trauma all by alone with no remorse.Some people just do things without conscience. But Op,don't be in a hurry to praise yourself because you got a job, humble yourself.You never can tell tomorrow. If you don't love her anymore, just tell her.I only feel for you so you don't end up with someone that is just with you cos you have a job too.Life is not always what we see in movies.Life is so versatile. Humble yourself.Your salary is someone's breakfast.

WRITE DOWN YOUR TO DO EVERY MORNING

My father's best leaf.

Your 20s is a time of getting to grips with your cycle and all of it’s quirks. But don’t get too comfortable; things are going to get unpredictable again real soon. Although nothing is totally by-the-book when it comes to each woman’s unique period, there are some things you can be relatively sure to expect.

Here is what you have to look forward to in terms of your cycle in the years to come:

What to expect in your 20s
Getting your period as a teenager was probably unpredictable, always coming at the worst of times and never consistent. In your 20s you don’t spend as much time stressing that your period is going to catch you by surprise and embarrass you by leaking onto your school uniform. Mainly because you’re not in school any more but also because your cycle starts to become more regular. This also means that you’re more likely to experience the common symptoms of menstruation that you might have managed to avoid as a teen: cramps, PMS and sore breasts.

This is the age that women generally start to go on birth control, which will change your cycle. The effect it has is usually positive though: a lighter flow or no period at all. Your 20s is also one of the most stressful times of your life. Learning to be an adult while studying and holding down a job for the first time takes a toll on your mind. And stress is one of the main reasons why your period is thrown out of sync in your 20s.

Women in their 20s report as having worse period cramps than older women, which sucks if you’re young but at least gives you something to look forward to as you grow older, right?

When should you go to a doctor?
If your cramps are debilitating (this could be endometriosis or fibroids), if you don’t get your period for three months or more (this could be polycystic ovary syndrome) or if your period is so heavy you need to change your tampon/pad every hour (this could indicate something more serious).

What to expect in your 30s
The good news is you can expect pretty regular cycles during this phase. The bad news is that you’re probably going to mess it all up by getting pregnant. Presuming that you’re trying to get pregnant at this age, know that this can be a stressful process and stress can disrupt your cycle too.

Obviously one of the benefits of being pregnant is you don’t get your period every month. Then, besides a big bleeding session you have after birth (yay), you probably won’t get your period for a while until you stop breastfeeding. Sounds like a good reason to breastfeed your kid for as long as possible. You not getting your period for 7 years seems worth turning them into that weird kid who gets teased for still being breastfed TBH.

A lot of women say that after giving birth their period cramps are much less painful. This could be due to your cervical opening being a bit bigger now, meaning your uterus doesn’t have to contract so hard to get that lining out every month.

It’s also normal for your cycle to get shorter in your 30s, so you might find your period coming every 25 days instead of the usual 28.

When should you go to a doctor?
Your 30s is also usually the time when your health starts to worsen, which can play out through your period. Issues like endometriosis (symptoms include pain so bad that you can barely function) or fibroids (growths that result in heavy bleeding) come to the forefront at this age. Big gaps between your periods could indicate premature menopause, which should be checked out by a professional.

What to expect in your 40s
You’ve heard of menopause, but did you know that perimenopause is a thing too? Women just can’t catch a break. You can expect to get your period for the very last time somewhere around the age of 51. This is something of a light at the end of the tunnel, however the ten whole years that your body spends freaking out in anticipation (i.e. perimenopause) is not such an exciting prospect.

You only have a few eggs left by this stage. The ones you do have are like little old ladies in that they’ve been around for years but still get really confused and don’t really know what’s going on. Expect things to be irregular. You could have no bleeding for months then suddenly a super heavy period the next month.

You’re also producing fluctuating levels of the hormones progesterone and estrogen. These play a big role in your mood so don’t be alarmed when your PMS makes you feel like an angst-y teenager all over again.

When should you go to a doctor?
It’s common to experience hair loss, dry skin and a slower metabolism along with heavy bleeding, which could indicate a thyroid issue. Also, remember that even though your period seems to be disappearing you can still get pregnant at this stage of life!

Having debit cards is not bad, but carrying debit cards around is dangerous. It's in fact, a crime to carry many cards with zero balance around. At this point I think I should say this, when it comes to saving money in your bank account, it's better you have a designated account and subscribe to almost nothing. Not Mobile App. Not internet banking. Not USSD. Not even a cheque book. Just nothing.

Immediately after I contacted my family members, a bike rider who took the other lady to the nearest police station came to take me there as well. I politely asked that I be taken to the closest branch of my bank where my salary account is domiciled. The bike rider without hesitating obliged my request. I quickly explained my plight to the security and demanded to meet with a staff. One of them rushed to the branch manager who dialed contact center. After the call, using her phone she sent a mail with all my details. Then we rushed in, she signed in and placed a lien on the funds in my account. Not a kobo had left. I was grateful.

My other bank was a trekkable distance away, I trekked there. Explained to the security guard manning the entrance door, it was still past 7 and he explained that the banking hall wasn't open. I told him I needed my card blocked, he pointed me to the ATM. 'Mr.! Stop acting like a princupality! I know about self service and that I can hotlist my card through an ATM but I can't remember my card details.' Just then, a staff of the bank came in and asked what the issue was, I went straight to the point and made my simple request, he showed me the ATM, I told him I couldn't remember those details especially the last 4 digits of my card. Then he said l'll need to fill a form. At the sound of a form, I took offense. Is the Nigerian bank now like our Federal hospitals and Health centers where they watch a dying patient give up the ghost in the corridor because they need to 'fill form and pay some ridiculous amount' before treatment will commence. I made it clear that if withdrawals are done on my account from the time I got to the branch and my account gets cleared, they'll pay down to the last kobo. I made it clear also that customer's instruction superseded any other instruction or form I needed to fill. Everything can be regularised later. First things first.

When the staff saw my understanding of banking, he asked for my account name, I provided that. He asked for the name of the branch where the account was opened, I provided that. Then he asked for my mobile number tied to the account. I did. All these answers were to help him get my account number from the system cos I couldn't correctly remember my account number and I wasn't ready to gamble with it. He went in with that information and came out shortly smiling. Your card has been blocked and the last transaction on your account was an inflow from Chinasa on the 3rd of February. 'Thanks', I said smiling back.

I called a relation working in a bank next through the help of a family member who had come to my rescue and was now driving me around. I got my card blocked as well. From there I went to my last bank that was actively for savings. There I met no resistance. The customer service agent cooperated well and after asking all security questions made sure to block the card. She wrote down my balance in the account and put the paper in my hand. 'Sorry', she said.
"Thank you", I responded.

Next was to block my SIM card. That was equally successful. I did that over the phone. By the time I was done, I couldn't believe it. That I was alive and well. No tooth lost. I could still see. I wasn't bleeding. I had all my monies intact. I was not in shambles so to say.

Made my way to the office that day, as I recounted my ordeal, it dawned on me that this pattern has been going on for a while. These guys are on the roads of Lagos unleashing havoc and making the city unsafe. It is to this end I've decided to share my experience and hope someone learns from this. We cannot be too careful but as much as we can, ensure you take adequate measures to protect yourself.

Eko o ni baje oooooo

Life in Lagos is scary

Nairalanders that love their lives, hearken to the below advice

Real life is not like the movies where an actor would be stabbed or shot multiple times and still find enough strength to accomplish his mission.

A single stab or shot at certain parts of the body is enough to kill you no matter how fit or healthy you think you are so when you see someone accost you with a knife or gun and asks you to hand over your valuables, please comply

Even if there are no weapons being brandished but the hoodlums asking for your valuables far outnumber you, comply cuz real life is not a martial arts movie where the actor can face 20 opponents, beat them while having his well tailored suit looking as good as it was when he left home

I'll wager this girl saw the knife but felt she can take a few stabs and recover her phone like the movies usually show but she lost her life and the phone too

I don't even have mind to struggle.My life is better than material things.

Its cheaper my dear, cutting cost

Are you sure?

I honestly don't see the relevance of this thread, how it got to FP baffles me as much as a snake swallowing millions of naira

I think it's good.It is a form of bringing back the glory of African hair.Being natural is sweet.Its incomparable. Its better than buying fake hair at an exorbitant rate. I am a naturalista in my 2nd yr.My hair is long and healthy.Going natural should be encouraged.

Jman06:
Bottom line is, marry from good homes. Homes of learned and morally sound parents. Not the kind of homes where the mother is living separately in one location while the father is living somewhere else. Also avoid the homes of "money-miss-roads" with zero education but bags of money. Those are usually the type of people who don't consider other people beyond how much they have in the bank.
The best thing in life is having both money and wisdom to make unbiased judgements about life generally.

So true
