[quote author=texazzpete post=28756837]Last time i checked, this woman is one of the few Nigerians still trying to make sure that the Chibok girls do not remain forgotten and they are reunited with their parents.
That makes her one of the few living heroes we have in Nigeria, and a good deal more brave, more honorable and more GODLY than your cowardly self who will NEVER achieve anything near what this woman has achieved.

What she is doing with the #Bringbackourgirls campaign is a good deal more important than anything she could be doing in the Redeemed Camp.

Eyah! Pele. It is obvious you ar pained by that post. From today, just begin to see how your life ll witness great set back. Your generation is cursed, sickness and untimely death is released upon you and as this year is fast running out, so will you run into troublr all the days of your life. Stu.pid brainless mo.ron.

Last time I checked, this woman was a deaconess in the Redeemed christian church of God, annual camp in ongoing at kilometre 45, lagos/Ib expressway and aunty Obi is here doing something else.

8 FXXCKING YEARS? U sure? Men! I doff my hat for you.

How did you do it. tell us the full story.

Guy you are giving me motivation to write. I ll drop it soon.

I should have shared my story since 2013. This man beat me to it, but it didn't really cross my mind to write on it. My wife and I practiced celebacy for 8 and half years! It was thru God's grace anyways. Thank God we live hapily together now with our princess. Sex before marriage is possible but with prayer and lots of self discipline.

Obasanjo finally replies Iyabo, says she was induced to do ‘dirty job'
Nearly a year after his daughter, Iyabo, wrote a well-publicised open letter to him, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has replied her, alleging that she was induced by President Goodluck Jonathan’s  administration to write the stinker.

In portions of his latest memoirs, My Watch, seen in advance by TheCable, Obasanjo said he had been warned that “this administration” was attempting to induce two of his daughters to do a “dirty job” and that he warned both of them against it.

Obasanjo said Iyabo succumbed to the advances because of “her character” and “the influence of her mother” – who is the retired general’s first wife.

In her letter, Iyabo, a former commissioner in Ogun state and former senator, recounted Obasanjo’s failings as a father and questioned his moral right to criticise others.

“This is the end of my communication with you for life. I pray Nigeria survives your continual intervention in its affairs,” she wrote.

Obasanjo had written a highly critical letter to Jonathan titled “Before It Is Too Late” in which he raised issues about insecurity and corruption in the country.

He wrote: “You must hold yourself most significantly responsible for what happens or fails to happen in Nigeria and in any case, most others will hold you responsible and God who put you there  will  surely  hold  you  responsible  and  accountable.”

Obasanjo further repeated an allegation that Jonathan was training snipers to kill his political opponents.

He had remained silent since Iyabo’s open letter to him was published in the medai, but has now responded in volume one of the three-volume memoirs.

Obasanjo wrote: “I got a warning that this administration was attempting to induce two of my daughters, including Iyabo, to do a dirty job. I warned them both against it, but because of her character, the influence of her mother and her attitude, Iyabo succumbed; the other daughter did not.

“I was warned about a former minister of finance, who wrote the reply for Jonathan, and about the writer of the letter to which E. K. Clark appended his signature. Iyabo’s letter and the response to it has been treated as a family issue, so that all the members of the family can be equipped with the other side of the story from me for posterity.

“If Iyabo was childish and unwise enough to allow herself to be used, no other member of the family should allow himself or herself to be so used. Tolerance and acceptance of others must be practised in the face of any provocation, no matter how vile.”

Obasanjo has previously been openly accused of incest and adultery by his son, Gbenga, who sought to divorce his wife alleging that his father was sleeping with her.

The former president, meanwhile, said a “cabal” surrounding late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adau framed corruption charges against Iyabo when she was a senator in order to get back at him because of his personal views against them.

“My adversaries tried other means to get to me,” he stated.

“If Obasanjo could not be cut down to size, they must have thought, what about those close to him, including his daughter? When Senator Iyabo, my daughter, was accused of corruption, I took my time to have a serious interview with her on what exactly had transpired. She briefed me in detail and I was satisfied.

“But I did not stop there. I spoke with the Senate President, who also briefed me and assured me that Iyabo had not committed any offence as he had personally looked into the matter. I was again reassured but did not stop there. I talked to another senator, Mrs. Ekaette, who was a member of the health committee of which Iyabo was chairman. Mrs. Ekaette again satisfied me with her explanation. I was advised to talk to President Yar’Adua but I refused to do this, especially as I was told he was expecting me to. Instead, I advised Iyabo to hand the matter over to Chief Afe Babalola, a lawyer and friend, to deal with it through the court process. She was discharged and acquitted by the court.

“The fact that my ordeal, and that of my daughter, occurred under the administration of President Yar’Adua, who was brought into power by God through me, did not surprise me. I have always held to a belief that any person who expects commendation, praise, eulogy, or credit from any human being might die a frustrated wretch.”

He named some members of the “cabal” as Tanimu Yakubu Kurfi and Baba Kingibe “aided and supported by two governors – Bukola Saraki and James Ibori – for their own personal and selfish reasons”.

Medunah:
Agbaje abeg, the sooner we stop voting for parties nd start considering the individuals themselves, the better for us all

The way you considered shoeless Jonathan in 2011 and now witnessing impunity, corruption and bad economy.

Ezibless:
Hmmm that one strong o.
I'd have to do real planning for the ''breakaway'' so that i'd not break my arm in the process

Thanks!

Baby girl, pls don't listen to stillfire or what did he call himself. How on earth will someone advcie you to struggle with your parents just because they want the best for you. My sister, you won't understand their protection until u become a parent too. My little princess who is still very young get the best protection from me to the extent that I don't respond to jokes from people about marrying her to their sons. You hav exercised patience till now,you hav few years to spend with them. At the appropriate time, whc ll soon come, u ll enjoy your freedom and trust me, you ll appreciate your mum then. Do not listen to dose wrong councel to raise your voice at your parent or use kinda force to let yourself loose. In fact u ar not under any bondage but enjoying care and protection. You ll be fine sister.

With this kind of revelation,It is possible to buy stolen car from car dealers. Unsuspecting buyer, eager to drive his own car won't know that the car was snatched frm someone else. Now that I am saving towards getting my car in 2015, I gotta be careful then. May God lead you and I aright.

Yes Madiba was a great leader, however,he was not being fair to her former wife Winie. That woman really stood by him, even jailed for 8months just because she mobilized Mandela's army before going to jail to carry on with his vision. This woman deserves to be given a property. I didn't like the way Madiba treated that woman. Aside that, he lived a purposeful life worthy of emulation. Anyways, no man is perfect.

In God's name, can someone send the practice questions to me, amusantaiwo01@yahoo.com. Abeg. God bless u as u respond.

Church is supposed to be a place where people seek solace and comfort during times of need. But for one Houston family, they found the exact opposite at the worst possible time.

Barbara Day, the daughter of 93-year-old Olivia Blair, had always planned to bury her mother at the Fourth Missionary Baptist Church, a church she had attended for 50 years. But the pastor, Walter Houston refused to bury Blair because she hadn’t paid her tithes.

The Atlanta Journal Constitution included excerpts from Barbara Day’s interview with KRIV in Houston, Texas.

“It was like the last insult in the world.” Day said her only wish was for her mother to be buried “in the church that she loved and worshipped all of her life, even as a little girl.”

Day said that her mother had been a church member for five decades but had been sick for the past ten years and in a coma for that past two years.

Tyrone Jacques, a preacher watchdog contacted Pastor Houston and asked him to reconsider but he would not be persuaded. Instead, he said, Blair was “no longer a member of the church because she had not supported it financially in the last 10 years.”

Jacques then offered to pay for the service but Pastor Houston said no, claiming that “membership had its privileges.”

Day was outraged saying that the church only cares about “getting money money money money money!”

I tend to agree with Day. I don’t see how the church can claim their operating under God’s will in this situation, particularly when Jesus spoke frequently about aiding the sick and poor. And if she stopped paying tithes, then it seems like that’s something she’ll have to take up with God. Just like Pastor Houston might be asked to explain why he chose not to bury her.

What do you think about this church’s decision? Should they have buried this woman because it was just the right thing to do or were they just in their decision considering she hadn’t contributed financially in the past ten years?

Do they even knw better cos if they do, this error won't be posted without being corrected. I am not attacking anyone or playdown their efforts, we just have to be careful cos of young people on the forum.

I went to the same university with one of his sons. This guy used to change car every semester. There was anoda rich guy in sch then that we used to compare them. This time, his father was in prison but u hardly knw cos d boy just dey groove dey go. Convoy used to take him to school, these police men would fight to be part of those that would take him to sch cos he ll share 2k to each of them before departing. But for academic, the guy no try at all. E dull gan!lol. That one no matter sha. I haven't heard frm him since we left sch but I won't be surprised if he's working in a multi-national company now.

When there was no phone during the 90s didn't you cope so well? Nothing should disturb your peaceful sleep.
The night is meant for you to rest. I have never switched on my phone after 10pm for any reason and i have never regretted it too

Hnmmm. You are right bro but now that we have phone, it has helped us a lot, it is no longer business as usual. Unlike 90s, casualties should reduce just like the case cited by Vivaciouszz.

My wife and I always argue about switching off phones(GSM)before going to bed. Once she jumps on the bed, she ll off her phone immediately. Except my phone battery is low, my phone is always ON. I have cited cases on why she needs to put ON her phone always. Our neighbour might need help in d middle of the night and they will not be able to reach her, what of if armed rubber is around and someone wants to alert you?, a friend might be in crisis and would love to call you to interceed for him or her in prayer. My wife believe that no body should disturb her sleep and that the only way to rest properly is by switching off her phone. I told her to always use bed mode or reduce the ring volume to the lowest.
Do you off your phone at night? If yes why?Is it the riight thing to do. What are the effects(positive and negative) of switching off phones before going to bed?

Live your life based on comments on nairaland and you will never achieve your dreams in life! I remember my first post on this forum in 2009 where I sought for nairalanders advice whether to pursue Bsc degree cos I had HND then and I wanted more. Over 95% of those who responded said why ll I be wasting time and money, others said inferiority complex was worrying me. Thank God I didn't listen to them cos I did not only meet my destiny helper in Uni but I also met my wife there. Today I hold MA in communication and Language arts. I am running my business and by 2015, I ll start lecturing in a university. It is a sealed one already! Pls define your purpose, pursue it, follw your mind and be determined to achieve something great in life.

Husband sent a text to his wife at night,
“Hi I will get late, please try and wash all
my dirty
clothes
and make sure you prepare my favorite
dish before I
return.”
but there is no reply…..
He sent another text,
“And I forgot to tell you that I got an
increase in my
salary
at the end of the month I’m getting you a
new car”
this time ,
She text back, “OMG really?”
Husband replied, :
“No I just wanted to make sure you got
my first
message”
Lol. How was your day, fellow nairalanders?

See your partner as your friend, we are opened to each other, we pray together and share things together. I can take money from her purse and she does with mine too. I knw how much she earns and she knows my total monthly income too. I knw how much she saves monhtly and how much she contributes to our joint account and her contribution to family upkeep monthly. I have a twin sister but we were never so close like my wife. I see her as my real twin sister.

abila122:
with or without this, Boko haram will still slaughter and kill innocent women and children. We have passed the stage of being cautious with this animals. It's high time they gave them the same pill they have been giving others.

It is jungle justice. What then is the essence of on- going peace talk with the group to shelt their swords? It seems both parties aren't ready!

I don't think this is right. It ll only fuel the crisis as Boko aram members will re mobilize themselves for retaliation.

I posted on this forum fortnight ago during my wedding anniversary that no man should attempt to marry a lady who does nothing for a living. It is very dangerous and will not help the family to grow faster. When the man faces challenges at a point, his wife should be able t shoulder the family responsibilty pending the time things ll be stabilized for the man. I am talking from experience.

Abeg no vex, I need your advice on stock to invest my money on. I have 100k to invest in stocks. I don't want to buy bank share, pls which stock can i invest in? I trust gurus here to direct me rightly.

At Bowen university, Dammy and Joshua were super celebrity who did not misuse the grace to mess around. Dammy was very talented but Joshua was multi talented. I didn't knw if dammy could do any other thing apart from writing script, directing and acting once in a while but joshua is multi talented. He can act, direct, he's a great composer of songs, he sings very well, all the sound track in mount zion films is handled by joshua, he can play keyboard, he's a great artist, joshua can look at you and sketch you down within seconds, very humble and brilliant. We were in Bowen together. Joshua was a year junior.

kandiikane:
Aww. Congrats. It's just unfortunate you didn't have a longer honeymoon phase before the child came. Anyhow, congrats i guess that's how you wanted it.


Wedding pictures?

This is it

Thank you God for your faithfulness. The devil roared but Jehovah silenced him. He has blessed us wit a beautiful daughter to celebrate with. Today, we are counting our blessing not disappointment! Few weeks to the arrival of my princess, I lost my job but God almighty restored my business i lost some years back in a better way fews weeks after the birth of my daughter. My wife was very supportive during the crisis period. She might be reading this cos she's also a member of this forum,I just wanna say I love you from the dept of my heart and I will forever do.
