If you are floating the naira, then lift restrictions on existing policy that banned these 43 items from accessing dollar at official rate otherwise this is just noise & creating more problems.. Importers of these items will have to go to Black market to source for dollars to buy these items & this act will further shoot dollar to over 900. Who bans rice, cement, eggs, furnitures, meat, tiles, clothes, roofing sheets etc when ur country have not acheieved self sufficiency. Only Buhari & Emiefele. This policy is the reason why things are so expensive and inflation is high. If Tinubu and his team are not thinking yet to lift this ban then they are not doing anything. Allow fair competition & lift this ban then watch economy start coming together otherwise this is just NOISE!

People must respect people.. You come to a place where a particular tribe is majority and maybe only you is different. They speak their language there frequently negating English even when you are there.
What kind of bullying is that?

The fastest way to climb career ladder, earn quality professional experience, build your career, earn well and network is changing jobs; being involved in different projects and playing a major role there. People go into jobs with various motives and aspirations but for me, I will advice people to target 3 years max in a company if one really want to climb career ladder faster. One of the advantage is that in 9 years, you would have negotiated salaries 3 times with choice roles, networked more and have been exposed to different projects, company culture and experience. These various experiences helps you and exposes you to become better entrepreneur or consultant when you retire or choose that path. Staying in a job for so long is a big no except maybe they made me a shareholder there.

Once I get into an office as a new staff, the first thing I check is the longest serving person there. I access the person, his achievements, career progress, his quality of life, etc and based on that accessment, I make up my mind about my resignation year with the company and what I intend to achieve within the set time frame.. Staying in a job 10 years must be worth it in every sense. Not entirely recommended if there are options.

People who read this tweet as support is the reason why Peter Obi needs to be president; among other responsibilities, to correct our educational system.

Peter Obi prayed for the innocent sick child and at the same time committed Ekweremadu for justice to take her place. If they are guilty, the law should charge them but if found not guilty, they should be released.

A tweet filled with wisdom if you ask me.

Dear Op,

I want to start by telling you that marriage is a serious business. Beyond emotions, beyond feelings there is more to these things. I took time to read all comments above and I'm shocked at how people make decisions based on sentiments, emotions and all that. Dear Doctor, you made a terrible mistake holding down a lady for 8 long years and paying her bride price after without knowing what Gods purpose for you in marriage is and who God wants you to live the rest of your life with..

You don't make marriage decisions just like that; you need to do some serious business with God to know your wife and be able to discern the woman for your destiny. i believe if you have done this, all these secondary things like finance, salary, education wouldn't be much of an issue. If God ever told you that here is your wife or husband and he or she is not what you wanted, maybe the person is broke, illiterate or by your standard not good enough, my brother so long as you are convinced you heard from God and there are people, maybe prayer partners through prayers bear witness to this too, i advice that you jump fully into it and move ahead. God knows your prepared future before you get there. One of the signs God gives is an unexplainable peace and joy. You can know that this one is for me.

Never make material things basis for making choices. Our human view can only see the present, it is not given unto men to see the future. This alone is why we need God to direct us cos he already knows how we end. I know people who had nothing before marriage but 5 - 10 years down the line, its abundance. i have also seen people who had plenty before marriage, few years down the line, its lack. i have also seen people who had and became richer, people who were poor and also became poorer. My point is simple, the fluctuations of life is one of the reason why God should inspire our decision making so we wont waste time living a destiny that's not ours. When you are in your path, you enjoy every resources God has placed there even before you were born so that life will be easier for you in that path; that's where you meet your destiny helper, people God placed to help you achieve your purpose which could be your spouse, some even total strangers or anyone but when you are in a path that's not yours, that provision you cant access it because it can only be accessed when in your own path.. Since you are not in your path, no space for you there. The provision is only for people on that path, let me use the word "budget''.. You were not included in that path, your budget was made on your own path. This is the mystery why some people appear to get things done easier than another, this is why its dangerous to live another person life, or follow people to do things because people are doing it. This is also the mystery why some things which destroy a lot of people was a reason why some experienced breakthrough... An issue that made a marriage park up maybe the same reason another person's marriage became stronger. One of the advantages of allowing God direct you is so that when challenges come, you can come boldly to go God to negotiate your bail out... Isaiah 41 vs 21 ''Produce your cause, saith the Lord; bring forth your strong reasons......'' Seriously go to God and find his purpose for you. If the lady is the one chosen for your destiny, please never hesitate to marry her; God will give you the wisdom to navigate your challenges, ideas to create wealth and the funds to provide for your home because he is the one who signed that marriage himself but if the lady is not meant for you, please sincerely break up with her fast as you will struggle all your life if you go ahead, it may not necessarily be money as you may stumble on money but their are other struggling in marriage beyond money that can kill a man. Brother, this is what you should have done since but its never late to seek God at all times. Shut down the noise in your heart, create a serene atmosphere within you and seriously seek God to help you make this choice.

This is what many people don't do before they go into marriages and few years down the line, they run out and start castigating marriage. Yet there are people who know this truth, lived it and still enjoying their marriages. Go ask them their secret, very sincere God fearing people will tell you that this is it.. For everything that's bad and terrible, there are still people succeeding there. Now, you can choose your side of divide by the mysteries you engage and know.

However abnormal this may read to the world, nothing beats sincerely allowing God (Holy Spirit) direct your path and inspire your choices; this is the key to greatness. Every great man you see have a supernatural power he listens to when making life changing decisions, it could be divination, enchantments, to the sons of light, it is the holy spirit which is a gift from our Lord God to help our weaknesses and imperfection; life is too complex to live it by your own brain, abilities and strength.. You will crash beyond your imagination. i recommend you sincerely let Jesus Christ into your life and allow his spirit direct you forever, only then will you know what to do.

Nigerians sha

Majority of Nigerians are not smart thinkers.. Only very few people use their brains and it's so sad. Proof is glaring that even in the comments above, most people who commented earlier above were not even asking where will the payments and allowances of these 111 women come from? Isn't this increasing the cost of governance already at a time where this country is dead broke and no one is worried this stupid bill passed second reading.

Leaders are reflections of the people honestly.. Respectfully, I think Buhari emerged because we have more dummies interested in politics than smart people in this country (the smart ones have given up and are not interested). Until we engage our brains and think hard, analyse issues beyond sentiments and tribe, encourage our intelligent ones to take interest in politics, that's only when we will be ready to salvage this country. How does having 111 women improve the economy of this country, can't they restructure already existing structures to include more women.. why create new parasitic addendum, seats that will further take Nigeria to deep mess. These are critical issues we should be raising and not trying to make it gender superiority or balance.

On another thought, I observed that most sensible comments I read on nairaland start from the second page or sometimes 3rd and I think the reason is because most times, they are too busy with their lives to follow topics and comment their opinions immediately.

Honestly this advice is demonic and a recipe to marital disaster.. A man must first have a defined goal (I'm not writing about what small children do now and call relationship), a man looking for something serious must have a defined goal for himself first, then that goal narrows his search to finding a woman that fits into that goal..

When a man accesses a woman by her financial capabilities, it means both are just deceiving themselves. If you find a financially capable woman, then fantastic but if not, it's not a basics for entering a relationship. A broke lady maybe pillar of the home tomorrow. If my father inlaw looked at the financial capabilities of his would be wife, he wouldn't have married her and today, his story would have been disastrous.

Find a woman that perfectly fits into the goal you want to achieve. Sell your ideas to her and run it together.. A man's job is dominion, a lady's job is companionship and partnership. My wife was dead broke when I met her; she was an undergraduate.. "baby on hotspot for me".. "baby sub for me".. oh, how i would have lost out!!! It wasn't easy o but we were willing. Shy, timid and a low self esteem person when I met her.. I only focused on her brains and patiently waited for her to develop and recognise her potentials. Blessings sometimes doesn't come in diserable packages. Just be sensitive enough to discern. Broke or no broke. Choosing a partner is a spiritual business believe me, baba you must touch realms to get it right. Please don't sell your God given dominion and let devil use money to manipulate you away from a diserable tomorrow.

I'm not against going for rich ladies.. it's fantastic if it works for you but I'm saying its demonic mindset to use money as basis for choosing a partner.

To the Lady reading this, please invest in yourself.. brace up and say to yourself that I must build myself to be a blessing to my partner. Not every woman a man can beat or abuse. Develop yourselves to be that woman a man cannot beat because of the value you carry then submit all those strength and value you carry under a man; this is the secret to an amazing relationship.
Human beings should be intentional and stop wasting time.

Ogun camp is something else. Enjoyed my stay there 2013/2014. One of the best, if not the best camp in Nigeria. Fond memories.

Speaking in tongues is a gift of the spirit.. Have it been abused? Yes it has.
Is speaking in tongues real? Yes it is.

The bible is a compendium of God's work with man or people and they are there for reference so as to guide, predict and teach people how God moves in a dispensation and also how God changes his dealings at intervals with generations and dispensations.

We might not be getting it entirely right if we interpret happenings now directly to the way God moved in the past. What am I saying? I'm saying that as event goes and as time passes, God changes his dealings with man and generations to suit his plans and will as at what is happening at that time.

Presently, we are in the move of God where God deals with people individually and not as group. As such, individuals are encouraged to know God for themselves and have personal encounters with God. Emphasis on personal encounters because if we do confusions as this wouldn't be in the body. The bible said "In the last days, I will pour out my spirit on all flesh....." - This means that in the last days, what used to come on selected few, what used to come on the Moses, the Samuels, the Davids, the Elijahs, will be made available to all flesh. The access to God which God used to give to very selected few will come on all flesh; old, young, women, men.. all flesh will see vision, speak in tongues and dream. All we need do is desire it with all our heart and seek it because when we seek, we find.

Speaking in tongues is the language of the spirit.. it edifies you, strengthens you and direct your spirit to pray according to God's will. 1 John 5:14 "and this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us". Praying in tongue helps your spirit direct or channel your prayer according to his will. So I am convinced it is a gift made available to anyone who genuinely desire it to help their communication with God.

To some who argued Jesus or the disciples never prayed in tongue.. can I shock you? Do you know all the while Jesus stayed with the disciples, the disciples never fasted.. Read Matthew 9:14 - 15. They dont need to do so. Jesus is one of the trinity; God the son. If the trinity are one, God the father, God the son and God the holy spirit, of what need is he (Jesus) praying in tongue when he is the language and spirit himself. He knows the mind of the father and is always in tandem with his will.

Must a believer speak in tongue? It important a believer takes advantage of all these good gift God has given us to make communion with him easier, sweet and efficient. 2 peter 1-3 "By his divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence"

The knowledge of God help us know this and understand his mind. As a believer, we need to activate our ability to speak and pray in tongues, it is important a believer accesses this gift.

It depends on why they broke up.. I broke up with my ex a long time ago because we can't get married. Family complications and tribal differences.. it's a shame but it happened. She doesn't want to get married into a family she is not accepted. We dated for 2 years and some months and she was very supportive. Very supportive.

Till date, I still assist her in any way I can.. financially and in any way possible.. she even uses my health insurance as she get free medical services through my insurance scheme. That's the least I could do for her cos she has proven to deserve it even more. My partner understood this and although some times there are little frictions between myself and partner about it, she had finally accepted I cant stop assisting her. She doesn't know my history with her and what we went through but I made her realise she should allow me do as I want in respect to my ex. Nothing attached, she has become my good friend.

Hopefully next year she will be married and I cant be more happier for life. Life is short! Life is not so complicated, if you can assist someone genuinely please do it. You mustn't get things in return to be kind to someone. Nothing is in this life to hold on to.

Dear brother, I will sincerely give my opinion on this. First, at 32 I believe you must have defined what you wanted for yourself so I earnestly believe that deep down, you know what you want to do.

People who are advising you to travel may be doing so innocently based on their own perspectives and what they may feel is right by their standards but I must say at 32, you should be making decisions like a man and be ready to dare the consequences.

My opinion to this is if you have a good lady already who met your standard of what a good lady should be; and you are financially stable, please dont hesitate to marry her now.. Marry the lady, build your home.. Most importantly communicate your goals or this vision you have about travelling out to the lady. For example; you can say "babe in 2 years I would want us or one of us to relocate"..You guys can run with same goal and plan on moving together... open an account together and call it 'abroad move funds', do your maths and start putting money in there.. My emphasis on a "nice lady" who has something to offer in marriage.

If you have a job here, focus on the job for the next two years max while she does same too if she has a job or you enrol her to get a skill which are marketable there.. She can learn another language or just any selling skills.

Few years from now with the right woman, you will be happy you made that decision.. Forget people who negates and try to talk down on marriage, it shows the level of moral decadence in the society today. Take this quote to the bank and I want you to believe it with all your heart.. the quote is "With the right partner, there is nothing you can't achieve in this world"... with the right support system.

Abroad is not easy, all the fantasies you read about it most of the times are wrong so I suggest you develop yourself here and have a plan before you move. Don't go and be looking for girls to marry so you can get a green card, most of the time it's a disaster.

Whatever we do in life, let's try not to waste our time. In the end, I still believe at 32, you know what's best for you.

The first question my mom will ask you is "what do you do to have the money to gift me a car".. if no good or reasonable answer or no job known that could finance that, then she won't recieve it.

The lady did so well to gift her mom a car but if it wasn't gotten the right way then there is no blessing in that..

mh53:
you will need to do a lil maths; do you use up to a litre to top up biweekly? Calculate the monthly oil top up cost x 12 months Versus the one time cost of changing that gasket with the associated labour cost/lubricant replacement cost. My car leaks oil too...a gasket seal cracked underneath when I parked the car for two
Months but it drops once every 5 days or so. It doesn’t make economic sense to drop the entire engine for me when I can easily top up once every two months. Weigh the pros and cons.

I finally called the mechanic today to come carry the car after Gazzuzz said dropping the engine is the only way. I have to stay positive the repair will go well. I also don't like the idea of topping oil consistently..

Thanks for your inputs too, I appreciate.

GAZZUZZ:
The engine will be dropped. Ensure you use an original seal so you don't have to do it again for another 100,000 miles or more. Also ensure the mechanic knows what he is doing so you don't have to replace the transmission.

Thanks Gazzuzz.. I appreciate what you do in this forum. I will ensure to do as recommended. Thank you

kingreign:
Since you're scared of your engine being dropped, continue driving it it progressively gets worse and probably loose all its oil contents then damage the engine. Then you can drop the engine and get another installed.

Too much sense wee nor kee me!

Thanks for your kind comment.. I appreciate

mh53:
how significant is the oil leak?

Not so significant as it's just droplet on the floor but I have oil shortage every two weeks or so.

Goodmorning all,

please I need help. My camry 04 is leaking oil and when the mechanic checked it, he said the oil seal between the gear and the engine is bad so he will replace it. The problem is that he said he will drop the engine before he fixes the oil seal but I'm scared dropping my engine. Is there another way it can be fixed or must my car go through that process to get it fixed.

The engine has never been tampered with so I'm so afraid to drop my engine... He was supposed to come carry the car since yesterday but I told him to hold on first because I'm still very scared to allow him drop the engine.

cc Gazzuzz

I was driving the other day and this guy in front of me just doesn't want to move his car fast enough, on a speed lane ooo. The road was so free and I was in a hurry to move past him before traffic starts building up. He was driving so slow, nonchalant in the middle of the road and was having fun marching his brakes at will and unnecessaryly.. I was behind him blasting my horn so I could alert him to stay on a lane, to him, i don't exist.. he was doing what he was doing and was already causing slight traffic..

Guess what! He was operating his phone, I think he was answering a phone call or trying to call someone..

As I drove beside him to finally overtake him, I found out what he was doing then my rage increased. I just threw the can water I had at him and zoomed off (his windows were down so the water got to him well).

I watched him from the side mirror shouting and making angry gestures but I was already far gone..

Dear OP... people who are advising you to let go of your father's properties are not serious.. Don't disappoint your dad by letting those evil brothers of his reap where they did not sow. You seem to me as a weakling. At 24, you are a man and must know how to use diplomacy to fight, the onus is on you to protect your siblings so you should man up and take responsibility. Battles like this are won not by your fist but by your brains.The biggest test of your maturity is now and what you do now determines how you and your siblings will be treated going forward by your uncles.

The potent way to win cases like this is to escalate it. Make it known to the whole community what they are doing. I believe you are educated, now compose a good letter and make even exaggerations in the letter, copy a good lawyer who is already on standby and ready to follow it up if need be and peaceful negotiations fail, copy your community head or king, copy your local security in your community, copy your uncle's pastor if they have one or whoever they respect, copy your kindred, copy your dad's friends they know of, copy the youth leaders in your community, copy your own pastor and the social group you belong to, copy the Nigerian police in your state and in your local community.

Very important! Make sure your uncles know you copied this letter to those people I mentioned and also make sure the people you copied acknowledged it.

Then sit down and wait. They will call you to negotiate.. Make sure negotiations is on your terms and they speak to you through an elder not directly - you will need few community elders to your side. What you have done is to turn on the heat on them and will an advantage to your side during the negotiations.. You have also by escalating it through the letter succeeded in insuring your life so that whatever happens to you, it's on them and people will hold them responsible. It will restrict them in a way incase they planned evil on your life. Now, if they fail to adjust, your lawyer will take it up - a good lawyer knows what to do in this case. Except there are things you didnt tell us, I'm talking based on the facts you gave and I believe this will help.

Don't forget to at this point be very sensitive, careful and prayerful. Don't fight!! I repeat don't fight and please be respectful to them. Don't show them you are angry or show your emotions, it makes you unpredictable. Know when to eat and who gave you what you ate.

Your dad is late now. I'm so sorry about that but it's time you be a man and protect your family.

Truth be told.. I wonder how many Nigerians don't have a saving to sustain them for just one or two months total lockdown so we can all beat this virus fast and go back to our normal lives. Everybody is complaining they are hungry, it leaves me wondering what the people did with their earnings. Does it mean Nigerians don't save up? Does it mean many Nigerians doesn't set funds aside for emergencies and worst case scenarios? These set of people have money to buy data and be flying their account numbers everywhere all over the internet. It's shameful to see. Don't get me wrong, there are real people who actually deserve this help and palliative but when majority wants to take advantage, then it's a problem. Now, you see the mentality of an average Nigerian; Entitlement.. Give such people public funds to manage, they will manage it with same mentality they have managed their personal funds, no savings and in situations of emergencies, they borrow or look for aids. Now, what's the difference between us and our leaders in relation to how we manage our resources? Aren't we who we criticize?

Now, those people who survived the Nigeria civil war for more than 3 years, how did they do it? Please let us collectively assist the government to curb the virus. The government have honestly failed us but we must be sincere also with ourselves and how we conduct our lives. Aviod going out, stay home let's atleast curb this virus and our lives will go back to normal.

We should all stop putting pressures on government to relax the lockdown knowing fully well what this virus can do. Let's allow these guys get it right because if finally the lockdown is lifted now, how will a place like lagos fare? Or we want people to start dropping dead on the streets or maybe overburden the medical practitioners? C'mon let us think guys.

Why are they trying so hard to prove whether true or not and why are some folks concerned? I dont think we are occupied or busy enough in our country otherwise this would have been non issue.. Ambassador or no, it is their lives and so they should live it and leave us out of it.

Congratulations to Mercy however it be! To the folks who are concerned to know if true or not, get a life and get busy with your own lives as there's alot more in life than focusing on what another does with theirs.

A second of time into focusing on another's life is a second of time lost in building up your own life. So I dont think it's worth it.

To think that many people here supported 2baba after listening to this audio is heartbreaking. I thought Blackface was bitter about 2baba's success as widely accepted but dude was right after all. Maybe because he is not as successful as 2face, the world doesn't want to hear him out. Honestly I feel every pain Blackface must have felt and to think that all these while he have had Faze's back is an example to what an upright man should be.

Faze is the real snake. He is actually sounding forgetful where he knows he messed up. Faze is not helping Blackface and the group entirely. That one is just on 2face side because 2face is more successful and influential. Had blackface been more successful, faze would be on his side. I must give 2face some credit because he and his management have treated Blackface like a professional and with respect. If Blackface is not who is he which I now respect, he would have been on 2face side at the expense of Faze. Faze is not a professional and he lacks integrity. How do u explain coming to places you were not invited knowing what goes underground and you say it's a surprise appearance. Blackface rejected a chance to appear with 2face because Faze was not involved and even told Faze the reason he said no, Faze went behind and attended. How does that feel? I'm more angrier with faze than I am with 2face because if he had integrity and stood up like a man, those three would have come together again making music.
Going by the Skype conversation and wedding stuff, it's even obvious 2face doesn't regard him. He's the one attaching himself to 2face. C'mon how can faze be that to a brother and the group? That's a disgusting attitude Faze got.

Nigeria can never be better because of her citizens. The politicians know this and that's why they keep committing many atrocities on the masses because to them, get influence and money, then you can control them. People are on 2face side because he is more influential and successful and have failed to understand what pains this guy is going through every now and then. Funny some are even suggesting blackface should move on. Easy to move on isn't it? but alot of those shouting "move on" can't let go of 5k they borrowed a brother who refused to pay back. Dude is demanding what is right and is thinking like a reasonable person he is and as one who refused to be exploited. Dude has moved on but his argument is that you cant do "plan B" without everyone in the team. An upright man will demand for what belongs to him.
We lack people who live by principles and are upright in this country. It's a problem! How would a sane man with conscience support 2face after listening to this audio and it wasn't like Blackface was blabbing or making up words because faze himself acknowledged all what he was saying.

Blackface's only wrong was releasing the audio and I know even faze must be mad at him for doing that but how do we know the truth if he had not done that. Myself who have supported 2face and assumed blackface was jealous all these while wouldn't have had a rethink.

Have you ever being right and because you had no influence, everyone tends to follow the wrong one who had influence? How does it hurt..? If we desire a better society, we must condemn what is wrong no matter who is committing it.

Good thing about life is that one way or the other, the consequences of all our actions have a way of coming back to us. One, to teach people and secondly, to expose the wicked. Time always has a way of telling the truth and rewarding accordingly. I pray we will all be alive and well to know who have the last laugh.

I followed all comments from start to finish and I can only feel good deep down that this country not minding what we go through still spare a place in their hearts to care and show genuine love to a stranger. I appreciate all who have shown genuine desire to assist the boy in words, prayers and cash but going forward, I sincerely hope that it mustn't take us an extreme situations like the depressed boy who wants to commit sucide to dig deep and bring out the best part of us. It should be what we give at all times - love.


To the young boy who is depressed.. There's no crime in feeling bad about what you go through but I'm sure you will look back to this day and thank God you never took your life. You have given up but I'm sure God used people here to keep you alive. For me, that's a second chance. I suggest u search through your heart and discover what made u survive this night, that's the only reason for you to live for. Your family, good people here on nairaland? your loved ones? words? whatever it is that kept u alive this night must be what u should live for.

There's no better thing to possess in life than hope. You should never loose hope and always learn to allow time answer. You should know that life will be very boring without ups and down. You are down, you pick yourself up and when you are up, you bask in the endless joy of triumph victory brings, nothing beats that. It's always a battle and we must win.

Never in your whole life think suicide again. You can message me privately and everyday, we can walk through it. You will be fine again, this I'm so sure.

Our children must be taught history. It will help them make intelligent decisions and avoid mistakes were necessary.

In 2006, Uwazurike with Massob instructed us to boycott population census, we did but till date we have never recovered and consistently are bearing the consequences. Our counterparts were even bringing their goats and cattles to be counted because their elites had already told them the implications. Alas, we stayed home in solidarity to a lunatic order.

Now, Kanu came and ordered election boycott, some people disregarded the need to get their voters card, some who had theirs burnt them, some neglected our pleads to go out and vote their future, some are fantastic keypad warriors, they hide behind their phones and PCs to type, post or tweet cool stuffs but they do nothing in the real world. Others believed it doesn't count - they are cowards who had given up before the fight started. Oh, how they believed and championed the ideas of those who reside outside our shores forgetting that the direct consequences of that decision are directly on them to bear and not on people who reside away from home. They even fought against their own. Shameful isn't?

Hmm, they declared "Okazi soup day" (stay home and eat Okazi soup) but while they stayed home, another decided their future. Where others are giving a million plus votes with ease, we are struggling to deliver four hundred thousand (400000).. and before you argue the boycott was lifted, the real damage had been done as it was few days to election and the real voters had already registered and collected their voters cards.

Well, the people we love to hate and despise have again decided for us until 4 years. How has the last 4 years been? Welcome to Next level!

Until we follow leaders whose decisions are not emotionally driven but realistically driven, until we follow leaders who are analytic in their thoughts, until we seek information and give ourselves to be truly informed, until we motivate ourselves, support our own, enlighten our children on the need for them to exercise their franchise no matter what and align accordingly to the directives of those in power, we will continue to be insignificant in the scheme of things.

Welcome to Next level my people. 4 good years of a fantastic Next level, only God knows what it would bring. A baby birthed today would be 4 then. If you are 18 now, you would be 22 then, 40 would be 44, huge number isn't?
If things are always done for you now, in four (4) years, you would have started taking responsibilities. It's a huge number if you ask me.

Thankfully to God, Life has always and will continue to be good to me, my home, family and friends regardless of what happen in the next level.

Once again, welcome to Next Level and I will watch with keen interest to see how Biafra comes in the next four (4) years.

God bless.
