What would you say about The 20 Year Gunshot

The legend goes that in 1893 a man named Henry Ziegland left his girlfriend. In an extreme case of wishing to preserve the girl's honor, her brother took a pistol from the family's home and confronted Ziegland, shooting him at his home in Honey Grove. As the bullet struck Ziegland he collapsed, making the brother believe he had killed the man who had offended his family's honor. Thinking that the deed was done, the man turned his gun on himself and died moments later. But as help rushed to the scene, they discovered that though the assailant was dead, Henry Ziegland had survived. In fact, the wound he had sustained was merely superficial. He was rushed to a doctor and his injuries were treated. The bullet, as luck would have it had only grazed his face. After being informed that he was a lucky man he went home and carried on with his life. The bullet was buried in a tree behind him and forgotten about for several years. Twenty years, in fact, passed before once again Henry would interact with the tree. It would be his final act.

Deciding the tree was a nuisance on the property, Henry set explosives around the base of it deciding it was time for the tree to go, but beyond his abilities to simply chop or saw down by himself. Wishing to get the job done efficiently and quickly, explosives seemed the best idea to him. No one knows if in those final moments of his life he ever suspected what was about to happen. When he was rushed once again to the doctor, the doctor informed the family that there was nothing he could do. Henry Ziegland was already dead. The cause of death was a bullet wound directly to the head. It seemed Henry's luck had run out. The explosives that were set on the opposite side of the tree had violently ejected the bullet out in the direction of Henry and struck him. If one thinks about it, the principle was very similar to that of a gun or rifle. As Henry was laid to rest, people wondered where the bullet had come from. As it turned out, there was only one bullet lodged in that tree: the one that had been intended to kill him almost twenty years before.

Though this story is not authenticated by any official source, it is told throughout Texas even to this day and is often considered one of the great tales of a man's fate coming to him decades after it would have otherwise. Whether he truly existed or not, the name Henry Ziegland has made its way into the history books as a man who was struck down by a dead man twenty years later.

A military personnel should please give us a guideline with respect to uniform-like clothings that is allowable for the public. Must it be branded in a way that the difference can be made clear or what? Movie actors would not be allowed to wear these uniforms in their shootings if such leeway do not exist.

at the time corpers were earning N9,500 I heard the expenditure on a corper was valued at N1.5 million. Consider that cost now with them earning N20,000. I believe orientatation should include enterprenorial trainings and have the corpers set up a business in their host communities and monitored progress reports done by their inspectors who would also have undergone managerial trainings.

Every host community that wants investments should be willing to play nice to corpers and emploment for their youth would come in. After the one year sevice a successful corper would not be willing to uproot his assets. This covers the intermingling of tribes and financial empowerment all at once. Private business owners also take on themselves social activities like road repair as they consider doing what would aid traffic to their place of business.

In as much as MTN should be fined for not taking a national security issue seriously it would be unethical for us as a nation to dig our teeth into them for our 2016 budjet. I believe it should be revised and the lesson has been learnt by MTN and other bodies as well.

I have not seen any hypocrisy yet in her

“The question of sex and virginity is a private one…there are many people out there who don’t know who they are or where they are going. Forget the media hype and paparazzi: if people would truthfully bare their inner thoughts, no one wants to stay with someone who is “the national cake”.

Keep your privates to yourself and your wedded partner. Forget all that “new age” or “modern” talk on sex and virginity. It may look “cool” to be a sexually loose person on television or magazines, but in real life, people actually respect those who have self control. If the whole world says virginity is archaic, would you want your daughter/son to “go with the flow”

There is the part of her statement where she is admonishing a good thing but in no way was she saying she was keeping to the rule herself.
Jesus was known to have heavily criticised the the pharisees of his time yet would say

Matt 23:3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach

Even if she could not keep it there is no rule that says she should not advice it to her fans she cares about.

Secondly she could have had her registry wedding earlier on and just like me you just might not have gotten the IV.

The main thing is everyone should aspire to do good though hard to keep atimes. Cheers

@iwaeda you can get mum to remarry if she needs the sex. while rebelling people go for what most they were limited from once the limiter is away and in this case a bad marriage = little or no sex. she listens to her party friend, start from there.

yea well i decided to leave it and keep receiving my dividends. however when i tried they said i suld apply for it and it would take 10 working days.

ok then all the best. as long as the dividends keep coming in you are ok. more confidence once your dividends surpass your initial deposit so you are sure you are not being given abu's money.

Now that is a project not copy and paste final year ones I see and hear about.

nonyowen:
thanks for ur opinion i will ask for my capital bak by months end. Altho they have never faulted in paying my 10% into my acc every month since i joined

Hi, any updates on your withdrawal?

it is quite easier to just ask your pal. alternatively paste the index page codes here or email it to me

A good analysis of the front and back of the hand bill shouls have been made before much of the comments here were made.

[size=16pt]The front bill shows a beautiful depiction of what people love which is money while the back bill shows the futility and the vanity of money[/size].

Well if you made a derogatory comment while using a mobile phone which might not be clear enough you could be excused but do make it a point in life to scrutinize well before attacking people online. However the OP who did the scaning cannot be excused for intentionally creating conflict and of course mods who have recently been moving christian bashing threads to the frontpage.

P.S If you feel that there could be counterfeit charge consider that this cannot be seen as such because no one would take this as legal tender nor br convinced it is.

@ nicerichard05 try in this order.

contacting the person involved
reporting to the site owner
reporting to the site's hosting company
seeking legal redress

Though it is an annoying act to spam subscribers but most comments here are very wrong set of beliefs starting from the Op's depiction. I wonder which mod found this to be appropriate.

Ask her why she hasn't found her man.

Alternatively with her good looks and all someone must have felt her ok so why has she not been able to keep her own man. The future still looks bright so she should keep more than looks as her assets and with time the isle would be hers to climb.

Lastly if someone would leave another for her, that same disloyalty would leave her for another. There is always someone newly 21 and more beautiful every day.

considering that it would take the hubby 4yrs to get what the wife would have brought home in just a year the mathematics is pretty simple. After our first kid I was a house husband for a pretty long while which was convenient considering I work freelance online.

It would work pretty fine if the two had no previous issues of pride and ego.

the 'letter of comfort' is the bone of contention here. it's like a note of undertaking that their vessels won't be involved in illegal activities which these carriers are not willing to undersign. the president has faults but this is not one of them

firstly price. next is downtime, imagine the nira website being down. what is the future of domains under its care then? may be just good for a redirect.

OZAOEKPE:
I moved on and she too moved on, I called her after some months and we started chatting again, I apologized for the way a screwed up and she said she has forgiven me.
She told me she has a new boyfriend and I wished her well, but anytime I tease her how much I love her, she gets angry and keep saying things I don't want to hear. Something happened last week, I just sent her a message, saying I love her so much, she responded by saying I should 'go and die'.
I have tried every way to apologize to her, she keeps getting angry by the day, I made a mistake asking her out, I regretted asking her out because she makes me feel that I'm wicked. I send her money most times just to calm her down, but she keeps vexing at any little joke I make, I don't know what to do to please her anymore.
I'm planning on cutting every communication with her, to save her the stress of remembering the past.

You've said it all. The new guy must increase and you decrease in her heart. Stop saying you love her as it means a lot more than those words to her. Enjoy the future dear.

In 2012, I was transferred to ibadan. I have lots of girlfriends in lagos and don't want to date any new girl in ibadan, so me and my friend that was transferred to ibadan together became regulars at a brothel. Me and my friend had just 2 customers we patronize.

You slept with a lot of girls and one day you would like to settle down and be accepted as such by the woman that loves you.

She slept with a lot of men in the past and now she has found someone she plans to have the future with.

Every prostitute is someone's daughter, sister, friend. Take your pick on the number of mothers that had to sell their bodies to keep their children alive in war-torn areas.

Everyone deserves a second chance.
However, ensure the lady has told your brother as in the future another customer other than you might identify her when your brother is around so that he would be ready to address the situation in case the customer is a loud mouth. Also has she gone for tests?

There still abound benefits from her past experiences but the demerits abound the more. More reason to to avoid indescriminate sex and honor the marital bed. Even God chose a prostitute as a wife for the prophet Hosea. I hope you too have gone for tests and changed your ways. I hope you handle this with maturity.

Wishing you well - Teemy

How often do cops in the country undergo pshchological evaluation?

from what i know islam allows for killing fish in place of ram should your pocket not have room for one. when one lives a life of showing off or at the mercy of what people say inferiority complex sets in. i wish he had had the patience needed.

AllNaijaBlogger:
Paul was not talking about money there... Paul was talking about spiritual things and not physical money...

jesus was not poor in spirit that we might be rich in spirit. money was meant here.

If everything was all fine there wouldn't have been any clamor for 'change'.

there might be a need to check past cases where the cop was an investigating police officer as well as his unit's activities. dpo too might be in the loop of violence against suspects in detention. priority: torture marks claimed to be self inflicted

what is the aig bala hassan's number to report erring officers?

Goodlife2020:
No investor called yesterday, unlike other days. Keep calling, offer is still open

do you take analysts with verified results?

for you to have the scent on you means you have been well exposed. you do need a test as well. maybe knowing the results of what he has done to you might prick his conscience too. if all fails then you can keep away to prolong your lifespan. cheers

@jumanche even before you said so i was able to deduce your guy was ok in all areas but for the addiction. try googling on how to stage an intervention. also take him for a test to know how much of his lungs remain. dr's results might put fear in him

@eluquenson, using examples like mysite.com and mysite..com in your question would make your enquiry clearer and easier to respond to.

i only just expected IT giant google's would have better failsafes to prevent intrusions.
