Hello Mr Poster,

To start with, I happen to be a victim of your circumstance 4 yrs ago. The mistake you made is that you have allowed your ego and in-law pressure to beclowd your thinking. You have ALREADY FIXED A DATE for the Wedding. Now that you have done this, my candid advice is :-

First : Call your spouse and exlplain to her.Tell her nothing but the truth. The mistake people make is that both BRIDE and GROOM never for once sat down to discuss their expected home. They discussed so much about the Wedding ceremonies just the way you are doing right now. As I said earlier, make your wife see the reason why you have to do this. In my own case, I explained to my wife and we both agree. Despite the fact that my mother-in-law happpens to be the "ovation wedding" mindset kind of person, but with the agreement between my wife and I we were able to surpress the pressure of "BIG WEDDING AT ALL COST".

Secondly : What do you take marriage for? I think i need to ask you? Do you think marriage is what you watch in Home Videos or what you read in Novels, my brother you have to stand up for your marriage to work. Whether you believe it or not, if after your wedding, you can't meet up with the daily challenges of your marriage, I am sorry to say this, the marriage will end up in a mess. My friend, there are 1000 and 1 issues you need money for after wedding. In fact at this point, based on my past experience and your present financial trap, I will advice you to go for ONLY Court wedding. That is if you have not already printed IV for your wedding. You will quickly let people understand that its COURT WEDDING and not CHURCH Wedding. I did it and it work for me. You need to stand by your decision, both your spouse and you. Being able to stand by your decision will be the foundation of your marriage, after all, the marriage proper consist of YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE. Every other person is a visitor, weather you believe it or not they will come and go but you and your wife remain in the marriage for ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever, till death tear you apart.

Lastly : If you have decided to go for COURT WEDDING, you will spend less than 25,000naira. I am talking from experience and you have a whooping sum of 75,000naira left. Answer these few questions sincerely. Do you have a reliable accomodation which is truthfully habitable for you and your spouse? Do you have other source of income apart from white collar job? How do you intend to take care of your unborn kids? Infact how many kids do you guys agree to give birth to? Is your In-Law from a well-to-do family? Do you have to contribute so much to the daily living of your in-law's too? Is your wife the first child or the last?, so much question begging for answer, think i need to stop here. Sincere answers to these questions will give you a clue into the institution called Marriage. A lot of young guyz and ladies today believed that marriage is a MEGA WEDDING, Hummmm, my brother as the yoruba adage says " Ohun ti onbe le'yin efa, o ju eje lo" meaning there are far more than 1000 and 1 numbers after the number 6.

I will leave you with this nugget, which will help you in your marriage proper,

[b]A couple needs to understand something very simple: it is NOT your duty or responsibility to make yourself happy, it’s your spouse’s duty. This is where selflessness and sacrifice come in.

Sacrifice is about forgetting about you.

Sacrifice is about closing the door on your ego.

Sacrifice is about swapping convenience for inconvenience for the sake of your relationship.

Sacrifice is about acknowledging the fact that your spouse’s happiness is primary and yours is secondary.

Sacrifice is about accepting a view you don’t necessarily agree with for the sake of peace in your home.

Sacrifice is realization of the fact that disagreements will arise, but they do not need to escalate to quarrels.

Sacrifice for women, is the realisation that no matter how strong-willed you are, your husband is the head of the home and should be accorded that respect.

Sacrifice for men, is the realisation that head of the home is not synonymous with dictator.

Sacrifice for women, is the realisation that ALL men are born with egos and when you try to compete with a man’s ego, the marriage is the sufferer.

Sacrifice for men is the realisation that her being married to you is a choice she made and it’s your duty to make sure she does not ever regret making that choice.

Sacrifice for women is the realisation that you cannot understand a man’s ego because you were not created to understand it.

Sacrifice for men is the realisation that women were created to be loved, not understood.[/b]

I hope you have leant from this,

God Help you, Seek the face of God all the time and make God the head of the family.

I welcome you warmly into the club of the "MARRIAGE MEN".

I bet you, this is welcoming and inspiring. Hummmm!!!! My brother u dey complain, Wey somebody dey wey dey earn exactly half of wetin u dey earn, with 1 kid and expecting another soonest, But thanks my WIFE also is highly enterprising.

Anyway, u better start to dey thank God now. I have to look inward rather than outward and also, Pary more harder and do serious thinking also,

Big-man, you are a bomb,

Your source pls, I dont believe all these cooked rumors. I believe GTBank wouldn't do that. As per their customer service, i think is getting retarded everyday. GTBank used to be customer friendly, dont know what happened, especially the one at Adeola Odeku and Ojuelegba branches, they are really suck these past few days.

GTBank, sit straight pls

[center]Ohh my guy u forget to add TRIUM - to the list of phones. Bought the fone 8k in 2002 - fairly used

I bought my ECONET SIM CARD 14k in July 2002. Was in my final year in Unilag.
Lucky me, the SIM is still very intact. I have never lost my phone every since i bought it despite the fact that i am careless. The only thing wey dey tire me na the ECONET name wey dey always see on the sim when i wan change phone.

Thats my story shaaa, [/center]

[size=14pt][b]Hey Nairalander, please, please and please, Don't rejoice yet. Do you think an Northerners will give up power just like that? Why do these Senators like confusing themselves? Why couldn't they wait for the FEC to deliberate? Did they suddenly realise another part of the constitution that empowers them to take such a resolution? If the intent for the resolution was genuine, why did they not impeach Yar'adua on grounds of incapacitation, rather than creating another constitutional anomaly? Is this another gimmick that will send Aondoakaa to court to question the jurisdiction of the senate to pass such a resolution?
Let me tell you people point blank - Andoaaka will soon come out to say it's a violation of the constitution as no letter has been dispatched. I see this playing out as follows. Andoaaka declares the move unconstitutional, Bankole refuses to follow suit, the cabinet splits as more move over to Dora's side, we have complete log jam, a constitutional crises and the Generals make their move(which is what the Northerners want in order to retain power in the North)The next few days are critical.


I'll keep my fingers crossed,

Shallom!!!!!!!!!![/b][/size]

[center][b]At poster  -   I need to remind you that we should be mindful of how we portray the word of God and God himself to people who do not have relationship with God. If by your action or inaction the gentiles MOCK God, then u have enough to answer according to the Bible. Pls we all need to remember that everyday of our life, by our action or inaction we sow seeds and these seeds irrespective of where and how they are sown would bring forth their fruit at the appropriate time. So therefore at posters ONLY GOD WILL JUDGE THIS THREAD - and if by this thread people mock GOD and his GLORY, I want to believe you know the consequence.

As per the TOPIC - I am of the opinion that you know tha right thing. You dont need a Pastor, Alfa or Babalawo to tell you what Tithe is all about. You know PAYING it has a Dividend, Not Paying it also has its Consequence. It is left for you to decide what you want to do with it and not come out here PUTTING the WORD of GOD and its GLORY into a questionable square.

To the best of my knowledge, the Bible say When you Pay your tithes "PROOVE ME NOW IF I WILL NOT OPEN THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN AND POUR BLESSINGS UPON YOU TO THE EXTENT THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ENOUGH ROOM TO CONTAIN IT" at the same time the Bible makes us to understand that we you dont pay Tithes and end up to eat your seed thats your Tithes, the Bible says "YOU WILL BE OPEN TO DEVOURERS" It could come in anyform - sickness,accident,unnecessary spending,falling victim of armed robbery(You get huge salary, you wouldnt have nothing to show for it, Ask yahoo yahoo boys, they'll tell you), Infact it is what you BELIEVE that will work for you.

Since I as a person have subscribed to this, GOD HAS NEVER FAILED ME, Even if i have to PAY my tithes and have nothing else God is sufficient and will always sufficient for me for me. The Blessings of God has conditions and one of the condition is what you want to avoid.

I know people will call me different kind of names, YES, but you know what eats your money if you dont pay tithe, One thing is sure if you dont give GOD, you'll give Satan.I am not concern who eats the money or what is being done with the TITHES. what I am concern about is keeping the commandment of God which i do as long as it is in my capacity.

Finally at poster, If people KEEP mocking GOD because of this post of yours you better talk to SEUN to quickly remove it because you already know the answer to this question(WORTH OF GOD) and by your action or inaction dont allow PHARISEES AND THE SADUCES to Mock God because YOU will account for every single action you take, If you like call me mumu,

I rest my case, [/b][/center][/font]

There is always a reward for everything we do secretly or openly. Someone else will do the same thing for your girlfriend. So it's tit for tat. If I were you, I would back out of such a dirty & risky game.

Hello Nairalanders,

I want to believe this is the time to ACT as a COUNTRY. BARRACK OBAMA said no going back on their decision. This is the time we need to look inward and make this country great again. let our Leaders wake up and decry every form of selfishness and mass looting. Let them take this country to a greater height.

Americans said "For years, they have documented  evidence of  Al-Qaida attempting to recruit and gain foothold in Nigeria, and its security agencies  did nothing to confront the threat,” top  Homeland  Department officials stated.
There  has to be a visible and verifiable evidence that  Nigerian authorities are improving security and intelligence against not just terror groups, but also  extremists and  fundamentalists, especially in the  northern part of the country,” State Department officials stated.
“This is a security situation with the lives of Americans at risk. We are not prepared to  risk American lives  just to satisfy Nigerian officials”"

Americans are not prepared to RISK the lives of their citizens just to SATISFY Nigerians Officials.

This is a wake up call. Let us look inward and start doing the right thing.

Thank you.

[b]Anyway, in my humble opionion I think SOLUDO caused it MASSIVELY. Come to think of it, Africa International Bank(AIB) disappeared into the tin air with my 21,000naira (that was late 2003). I could remember vividly that i had about 101,000 naira in my account when a friend of mine called and gave me reasons why i should quickly close my account. I rushed to the Bank and on getting there I met with the cashier and instantly he told me i cant withdraw more than 25,000 in 4 days. I operated a savings account in the UNILAG Branch late 2003 incase anyone can bear me witness. Immediately i collected the 25k. I settled one of the Bank official and he told me to come the next day to withdraw another 25k for the next 2 days making 50k,which i did. After 3 working days i quickly went to the bank only to realise that i have to wait for 1 week before i can withdraw 10k. I quickly rushed to the guy i settled and told him that i will share the whole money in my account with him 50/50 if he can help me, to my greatest surprise he said nothing could be done. Finally after 5 working days I withdrew another 4k. My brother that was the last time we were all allowed into the Banking Hall of A I B Unilag branch, late 2003. Uptill now my money is gone , i still have my deposit slip and all my records with me.

Now the BIG QUESTION is this:- Who bears all the 100% RISK of OVERSIGHT by the CBN Governor at that time?
1. All staff, i mean ALLL thier STAFF went home without termination letters.
2. We depositors- our monies disappear into the tin air.
3. Shareholders, Ahhhhhh, you know now.

Conclusively, I give my heart to the laid off Staffs. To be candid Dont you think it is better for some of the Staff to let go now than allowed the whole BANK failed after a while?
Dont you think it is better for a short time adjustment and give room for progressive change and make the SHAREHOLDERS happy in the future.

Soludo is a complete academician and as far as i am concern Sanusi is a Practitioner. You cant compare a practitioner with an academitian, Quickly, i don dig hole for my MASTER BEDROON, Load all my money there make i no come loose all my savings again.

[size=14pt]Ok make we leave SANUSI vs SOLUDO for now. WHAT CAN WE SAY ABOUT THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS OF THESE BANKS. Wetin KPMG Professional Services, Price Water House Corper and Akintola Williams they do? Can we say these RESPECTED AUDITING FIRMS in which the Shareholders of various banks invested their trust have actually COMPROMISED?, Pls lets discuss this, please!!!!! [/size]

I rest my case, GBAMMMM!!!!!![/b]

[size=20pt]SO DO I,, Any Info, [/size]

[size=16pt]Whether this Story is True of Not,Its Heart-Breaking. In as much as I am not in support of KIDNAPPING but as far as SAM EGU is Concern, I would have given a testimony in my church on Sunday, how these guyz succeeded.

To be sincere, its a PERFECT ATTEMPT but  A FAILED RESULT. I hope we'll have more perfect attempts.

PREFECT SIGNAL FOR THE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS[/size]

THE GUYZ MADE US PROUD FOR REAL, AT LEAST THAT DAY, I DEY PROUD TO BE A NIGERIAN BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT PROGRAMME, I QUICKLY WITHDRAW AM BACK, NA TREU I TALK OHHHH,

[s]The senators were said to have asked Lukman to begin an employment scheme for youths across the country within one month of getting to office.

He was also requested to ensure the retirement of all old hands in the NNPC and replace them with new hands so as to give the government some semblance of performance.[/color]
[/s]

[color=#990000]You can imagine,HOW OLD IS LUKMON HIMSELF? OLD MAN WEY WAN SACK OLD PEOPLE(Kettle wey dey call POT black), Confused People in a Confused State,

Make Thuder FIRE THEM ALLL, WE NEED BOMB CARRIER IN THIS COUNTRY MAKE THEM JUST ENTER SOME PLACESSS, THEM BODY GO GO DOWN,

I REST MY CASE,

[b]I live in the Real World - meaning i am MARRIED plus a BABY BOY.

Hum!!!!, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT, MY WIFE KNOWS WHAT I CARE ABOUT.SHE KNOWS WHERE IT ACHE ME MOST, MY Brother i no play with my TOMMY, Despite the fact that SHEs darm busy like Hell With work and whatever, She makes my goood, i mean good food and i reciprocate with good night sex.

When u live in an IMAGINED WORLD(I mean the spincers and bachelors in r/ships) you are yet to know what it is to be married.You can say this and that!!!, You can apply various experience u acquired from JAMES HARLY CHASE and 9JA HOME VIDEOS, But when u get to the real world(thats when u are married), and u face the CHALLEGES ATTACHED TO MARRIAGES, I tell you, you'lll have a better understanding that, MARRIAGE IS ALL ABOUT PLAYING YOUR OWN PART OF THE GAME AND PLAYING IT EFFECTIVELY INORDER TO MAKE THE HOME HABITABLE. , ALSO SACRIFICING YOUR SELFISHNESS FOR YOUR PARTNER(I mean the Couple), U'll learn a lot if you happen to be someone who hadly listen to advice,

I NO TAKE MY BELLE PLAY OHHHH, AND MY WIFFY KNOW SAY NA WAHALA BE THAT MAKE SHE BUY ME JUNK,

PEACE OUT, I rest my case, [/b][color=#006600][/color]

[b]PURPOSE they say WHEN is NOT known ABUSE THEY say is INEVITABLE.

God who said to ADAM he would provide an Helper for him, who will compliment and help him in all his ways, I dont think GOD is crazy to have said that.God knows that A Man needs A Woman likewise a WOMAN needs a MAN.Both are INCOMPLETE without the perfect match,i repeat both are INCOMPLETE. The Bible continue in Eccl 4 Verses 8 down to 12. That verse makes us to understand that A man without a Woman is incomplete and vice versa, pls kindly read b4 u castigate me for God sake. God is a perfect GOD and he will never ever make mistake, Remember thats GODS WAY IS NOT OUR WAY and OUR THINKING IS FAR FAR FAR FAR DIFFERENT FROM GOD THINKS, This is important for us to understand, PRAY TO GOD THAT YOU GET MARRIED TO YOUR BETTER HALF THAT GOD HAS CREATED SOMEWHERE. Those people who will attestate to what i have said are the MARRIED COUPLES who got married to their other Halves,but if unfortunately they got married to someone elses's half, ohhh they'll experience other wise. That is why you have to really pray,fast and seek GODS face when it comes to the issue of MARRIAGE because it is a very crutial issue in human life. FOR 2 the Bible says its better that 1.

Hope i passed a better message and i Hope someone out there agree with me. [/b] [size=8pt][/size][font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font][color=#006600][/color]
