HealthRe: The Woman I Saved On Christmas Day (Graphic Photos And Videos) by thinkmoney(m): 12:16pm On Dec 28, 2019
madridguy:
First, May God bless you brother for saving this woman. You have made a huge sacrifice and only God can reward you for.

I can relate with your story brother because I've been in your shoe before both in Lagos and Ogun state respectively.

As my late father used to say, " It can happen to anybody " i used to wonder how people feel bringing out phone recording people in need of help? What do they do with the videos, share on their status or page for worthless likes and comments?

As for the doctors, i don't blame them since majority of them are heartless and wicked. They derive joy in seeing dead people since our government won't question them.

I could remember how God Almighty used me to rescued a woman like that and only for the doctor and the nurses to be abusing me, calling me bad man that i want the woman to die so i can quickly marry another woman. For their mind they think she's my wife, this is a person i don't even know her name. I lied to them that i was away for work when they called me so i have to quickly rush home, one nurse with razor blade mouth still said because am not a caring man reason i did not know my wife is sick....felt like slapping her but i knew if i ever mention that she's a stranger they won't attend to her again so i have to play along for the sake of the woman.

After every every, she was stabilize and she asked what am i doing here, the nurse with her told her your husband brought you here bla bla bla the woman said am a single mother and please let me see the man. Na so dem know, the woman call her children and friends when dey arrive am about going when the doctor called me inside her office and asked me if i know the risk and repercausion of what i did? She asked me what if the woman die? I just told her, what happened to her could happen to anyone and i left.
The risk i have took for total strangers alone, at times when i remember i just shake head for myself.

Again, OP, you deserved the Nairaland BEST MAN OF THE YEAR award.
please lets be friends. it's ur type I want in my life, especially for the new year. I have a mother that help others when no one dare raised a finger. I have also helped saved two babies lives, when others were clueless.

At least show us a bible passage that says that if u must celebrate our christ birth (which we do really thank God for), we should not do it on a day that has a pagan origin and with pagan totems and unscriptural objects like the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, star etc.?
I av shown u places that infer or suggest we should not celebrate Christmas. as s Christian, I know u agree smoking is bad. but is there a place that explicitly says we should not smoke? but there are many instances in the Bible that we can sew together to get that the Bible doesn't support smoking.

Hairyrapunzel:
If you can also bring out a part where they said celebrating birth of Jesus is a pagan practice and jesus condemned such.
You made this statement





So I had to reply that jehovah made a specific day for pagans to celebrate their gods and if we as Christians use that same day he will destroy/slaughter us.


After all we don't want to lik candy that was in the gutter even after it had been cleaned.
this is whataboutism. somehow I have continued with u because u appear polite. I have given Bible instances that shows why Christmas is unscriptural, important among this is that the early Christians did not celebrate. U might not fully get it now (because convictions is one of the hardest thing to change). I have shown a seed in u though. Because I have been logical with u. may God help u have the right factor to make the seed grow

Hairyrapunzel:
Jehovah made a specific date for pagans to celebrate their gods and warned Christians from celebrating anything on those days.


If Jesus didn't want us celebrate His birth He would have still said it.

2 Tim 3:16

16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.


It's like as pagans used dec 25th to celebrate their gods that means that day is specific only for their use as Christians can't celebrate their Jesus.
Please watch urself. I only hope somebody that knows u see ur responses, so he can tell u ur premise is faulty. it's obvious ur believes and practices is as a result of lack of adequate Bible knowledge.
now let me help u test urself. if u can bring out the part in the Bible that says Jehovah made some date for pagan then ur believes are correct but if u can't my dear, u need help.
Besides, how old are u
Christianity EtcRe: Six Churches That Don't Celebrate Christmas by thinkmoney(m): 10:16am On Dec 28, 2019
Hairyrapunzel:
Like dec 25th was made for only pagans. In fact God made specific days for pagans so he doesn't want to try pagans that's why Christians should not celebrate anything on that day.


So I should not celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ on dec 25th because pagans probably used that day to worship their gods gazillion years ago?

It's like your jehovah said that dec 25th is the specific day he has chosen for pagans to celebrate their gods and Christians should never use same day or else he will murder them.


Funny enough you guys never say Christmas on dec 25th is a pagan celebration. You just say dec 25th was a pagan festival day that was used to convert pagans to christianity. Lol
I won't go on with u. U just said something that have allowed me weigh ur Bible knowledge. how could u insinuate God has made some days for pagans?!. to cap it up though, Jesus asked us to mark his death. if he had wanted us to celebrate his birth I am sure he would have told us. the apostles marked his death but didn't celebrate his birth. this practice went on for 300 years after Christ death until apostasy crept into Christianity. these early Christians including the apostles were closer to the time of Christ. they are worthy of emulation.
remember the Bible warned against adding or removing a DOT(.) from what it says.

Where was it written in the Bible that celebrating someone's birth is a sin?

So celebrating that our Lord Jesus Christ took human flesh and came into this world to save us is a sin?
dear, it is written in the Bible that the day of death is better than the day of birth and going to the house of mourning is better than going to a party. why this passages do not discourage celebration, it's gives a context to the issue on ground.
if u must celebrate our christ birth (which we do really thank God for), why must we do it on a day that has a pagan origin and with pagan totems and unscriptural objects like the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, star etc.
if you feel something history doesn't matter, I ask u if u would still lick a candy that was gotten from a gutter even after it has been cleaned?

Christianity EtcRe: What Is The Difference Between God And Lord? by thinkmoney(m): 8:30pm On Dec 01, 2019
johnmba:
Have been wondering if there is a difference between the two. My reason is this: we believe that Jesus is God and in St. Paul's letter he said " Blessed be God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"

Also Elizabeth filled with the Holy Spirit said " who am I that the mother of my Lord should visit me".

So people is there any difference.
confused people. there is difference. though like Jesus there are many called God, there is only one almighty God, Jehovah or Yahweh (the same name. He unlike Jesus has no beginning and can never die (...he never sleeps nor slumber). Jesus called him , my father and my God.
Jesus is our lord in the sense that he is our master taking and guiding us back to God. 1 cor. 8:6 says; there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.
only with this understanding will Psalm 110:1 make sense; The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ...
u will then understand that the first Lord is Jehovah(which is what was really there in the Hebrew version, and the second lord is Jesus.
If you want to know why many other people and spirit being are referred to as God, please feel free to ask me.

Christianity EtcRe: Six Reasons Gambling/Betting Is Not Good For You As A Christian by thinkmoney(m): 11:27am On Nov 03, 2019
TundeKorede:
Written by Tunde Korede

Betting is the action of gambling money on the outcome of a race, game, or other unpredictable event. Gambling or betting provides the temptation of quick and easy riches.

Intermittently, our societies abound with temptations that endear even Christians to join the growing league of gamblers. Moreover, many people do not see anything wrong in betting.

Although, there is nowhere where it is written that; “thou shall not gamble.” But if you are truthful to yourself. You will find out that Biblical principles are against gambling and betting.

However, we shall consider the reasons why you don’t need to gamble or bet as a Christian. This article shall consider the reasons why betting is sinful from biblical perspective.

Bad Effects Of Debt In One’s Life by Tunde Korede


Wrong Misconceptions About Gambling

Some people use casting of lots in the Bible to rationalize their addictive betting habit.

During the time of Nehemiah as the Governor, people who should live in Jerusalem were chosen by casting lots (Neh 1:11).

Joshua distributed the land by casting lots in Shiloh in the presence of the Lord (Joshua 18:10). Also, the Apostles cast lots to determine whether to select Matthias or Barsabbas to replace Judas (Acts :23-26).

But why is it sinful for me to gamble? Besides, the Bible says;

Proverbs 16:33
[33]The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole disposing thereof is of the LORD.

Since the outcome of the lot comes from the Lord. Why is betting and gambling sinful?

Note this, the Israelites were instructed by God to cast lots to distribute lands (Numbers 26:55). More so, it was a normal practice for them to cast lots in Isreal to determine certain issues. Read 1 Chronicles 24:5, 31.


Important points
The people who cast lot in the Bible didn’t do so to get more money. They never did it with the expectation of getting quick riches.

Hence, we cannot possibly equate betting or gambling with casting of lots in the Bible. They are different. What the Bible is against is acquisition of wealth in an unjust and speedy manner.

Lots are cast to determine certain decisions not to make money.
Get rid of that misconception. Betting or gambling to acquire more money is sinful. It violates God’s principles of wealth acquisition.

How To Erase Borrowing Mentality

Six Reasons Why Betting/Gambling Is Not Good For You



• It’s A Proof Of The Love Of Money
1 Timothy 6:9-10
[9]But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

[10]For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
If you don’t love money excessively, you won’t bet to acquire more money. People who practise betting are those whose love for money is extensively high.

One of the temptations and snares people who want to get rich fall into is betting. There are Christians who find it absolutely difficult to give to the needy. But they prefer to put their last little remaining money on gambling.

Truly, betting is a proof of the love of money. And the Bible frowns on this. Whoever wants riches should work hard pray and be patience.

Christians Youths Must Develop These Four Skills

• Violation Of Kingdom Principle Of Wealth Creation

Proverbs 13:11
[11]Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

In the Kingdom, wealth is gotten through labour. And wealth is gotten little by little not once and for all. Gambling is against biblical principles of wealth creation.

To you, you might prefer betting as a good means of making money. But the practice defiles God’s Word. Its purpose is not in consonant with the Word of God.

Yes, the purpose is to make money. But how do you explain a situation whereby a man bets #500 and wins 20,000 without working.

Before, a man can win such amount of money, many people would have lost theirs. That’s why many betting companies are increasing in Nigeria and other developed nations daily.

Excuse: Top Excuses You Must Never Make

• It Encourages Quick Money Making Syndrome

Proverbs 28:20
[20]A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that MAKETH HASTE TO BE RICH SHALL NOT BE INNOCENT.

Here, what the verse means is this; whoever is hasty to get wealth is not innocent/sinless. In other words, making money in a very quick and easy way is sinful.

No wonder our generation is driven by money. Many of our youths are engrossed with the thought of becoming like Dangote/Otedola or Trump in one day.

Dear friend, if you really want to make good money.

Sustainable wealth is not made by betting. No matter what you think, you can build an enduring and sustainable wealth through gambling.


• Gambling Leads To Addiction
Ecclesiastes 5:10
[10]HE THAT LOVETH SILVER SHALL NOT BE SATISFIED WITH SILVER; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

Although, there is nothing one cannot be addicted to. One can be addicted to porn, football, books or phones.

Meanwhile, people can also be addicted to gambling. There are people who can use their spouse to bet. And there are those who can use their newly-bought car to bet.

For instance, you may start your betting journey with #200 and end up betting a huge amount of money.

Frankly, that’s why you cannot leave your money in the hands of some people. Because if you do, they will use your money to bet.

Sexual Addiction And How To Be Totally Free From It

• Proof Of Covetousness
Luke 12:15
[15]And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.

Statistically, many of those who are chronic gamblers today started through covetousness. When you want to become a billionaire overnight, then, betting is your last resort.

Once again, it a proof of covetousness and greediness. Your life does not consist in the abundant of things that you have.

Leave your friends alone if they are doing it. But be determined to stand out as Daniel determined in his days.

Five Reasons Why Christians Fall Sick Often

• It Promotes Laziness
2 Thessalonians 3:10
[10]For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.

God’s Word says, if anyone would not work, s/he doesn’t deserve to eat. That’s the principle. Those who work should be the one to eat.

Sadly, you can possibly eat and have more money without working if you’re a gambler. And this contradicts the Word of God.

Again, betting promotes laziness. Today, there are some youths who will sleep all day and walk about aimlessly. Why? Because they are sure that they will definitely win.

Let’s work! Say no to gambling! Don’t twist the Word of God because of your circumstances.

I know the Nigerian government is not employing some of our graduates. But we should not disobey God’s Word because of our situations and circumstances. Pray to God for help and start doing something.

God bless you all!

Please, let me know your thought after reading this article. If I have offended you while reading this article. I’m sorry. That’s God’s Word for you.

Christianity EtcRe: How God's Decision To Elevate Man Above Angels Caused The War In Heaven by thinkmoney(m): 11:18am On Nov 03, 2019
EternalBeing:
Almighty God is truly awesome, a great eternal self-existent, self-sufficient Being far beyond who words could efficiently describe. The size of HIS Creation (Heavens, Earth, the Multiverse, the Universe, the Angels, Humans, Animals, Inanimate things, etc.) is unquantifiable. HIS Wisdom is truly infite, unsearchable and immeasurable.
Quran and Bible agrees that ALMIGHTY GOD created Man from miry clay and chose to elevate Man above all his creation; including the Angels. Angels were made from fire, diamonds, electricity and superior immortal things that we don't even know as humans, while Man was made from miry clay.

Just as we humans have authority over the cloths, cars, computers, air planes, etc. that we manufactured for particular purposes, ALMIGHTY GOD has far more Supreme Authority over all Angels and Humans because HE created us for his desired purposes. YAHWEH's decision to elevate Man above all the Angels led to the Battle (Revelations 12:7) that happened in Heaven which resulted in the demotion of Satan because he refused to bow to Man (you and I) as ALMIGHTY GOD commanded.

Quran even puts it far better, to prostrate is far more submissive than to bow. Quran stated and reiterated this many times with same sentence. Quran 2:34, Quran 20:116, Quran 18:50, Quran 17:61, Quran 7:11,and Quran 2:34 says: "Recall when We said to all Angels: Prostrate yourselves before Adam; all prostrated themselves except Satan, he refused." Some other angels refused too, and fell with him by doing so. And the Bible confirms this.

Truly, YAHWEH ALMIGHTY, our great Creator, is the Authority over all other authoritie, and nothing that HE desires to do could be stopped. His decision to elevate Man above Angels still came to pass and permanenly eternally established. Bible confirms this in Hebrew 1:6, Deuteronomy 32:43, Revelation 7:11, Revelation 5:1-14; Revelation 19:1-8, etc. Hebrews 1:5-6 "For unto which of the Angels said HE at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? (Non!) And again, I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to me a Son?
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the Angels of ALMIGHTY GOD worship him.
He didn't just earn that on a platter of gold, He most painfully paid for it. All were given equal opportunity to come and suffer for the World's Sin that they didn't commit, and die for Humanity. But when they saw the terrible horror of the "Cup to be drank", they shudder and ran back. Non of them love us enough to stake their lives and Heaven enjoyments, non of them love humanity enough to down grade to mere mortal to be born in stinking manger, non of them was... They knew that Humanity would be eternally doomed if non of them came down to redeem us back to our Creator, yet they saw us as useless mere mortals that was never worth suffering such excruciating pain for or dying for. I weep as I type this.

Only Jesus Christ HaMashiach(means our Saviour) saw how much YAHWEH ALMIGHTY loves us, only Him loves us as much as our great CREATOR, only Him was unselfish enough to say "I shall go down there to restore them their right to live forever" Yet, some shallow minded humans that are still blinded by Satan would say JESUS does not deserve our Worship. Will you now join me to shout "THANK YOU JESUS!!!" He has proved His eternal loyalty to the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth than any Angel or Human could ever do. So, the Angels in Heaven sang and proclaimed Him worthy and truly deserving of our worship forever. We thank ALMIGHTY GOD for granting Him the Throne beside HIMSELF.

Satan and his demons faught to stop the elevation and enthrnement of Man above them, but it still happened willy-nilly. Hebrew 1:5 "For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee?" Non! Except Man, Jesus Christ, who earned His throne beside YAHWEH ALMIGHTY by being loyalty personified! I pity humans that worship Satan, demons or go to herbalists just because of material things and "solutions" in this temporary World. Such people devalue, demote and put themselves under Satan's feet instead of it being vice versa as originally mandated by ALMIGHTY GOD.

Now, let's say "Thank you Jesus!!!" and type several words worship from the depth of our Souls to appreciate our Maker as HE truly deserves. HalleluYAH!!!
misleading doctrine. doesn't look harmful, but this is how Satan subtly leads our minds away..one bit at a time. if you are really interested in what the Bible says of the relationship between man and angel, comment here and I will tell u

If you expect the church to be perfect, you'll expect till eternity.. There are genuine churches around, and there are fake ones too. Your job is not to fault the church... Leave God to do that.. Your job is to ensure you live a life full of God's glory, preach to people and make heaven. God bless..

this where lies the problem. the fact that somebody got a building and was able to lure people inside through theatrics doesn't and name it a church doesn't make it a church. naming a building where u teach children rubbish doesn't make it a school.
a church is Christ body, where Christ leads and the people are nourished (not defrauded).
you talked about job. Our main Job is to first 'come out from among them'. second, we must fault them. we must show people these churches are fake by highlighting their "works." Christ did same to the Pharisees. he showed people who they really are. like many churches today, they were a 'white washed grave, full of all manner of abomination on the inside.'

Gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele has just released some photos of himself in a rare picture pose with his triplets and we love them!

The photo has since got fans drooling after it hit Instagram in the wee hours of today.

The 51 year old Tungba gospel star, welcomed the triplets, two boys and a girl with his wife, Temitope in July, in a hospital in Maryland, United States of America.

Yinka Ayefele’s marriage was childless for 25 years before the arrival of the set of triplets.

According to the artiste, who had an accident that resulted in a wheelchair confinement 22 years ago, there was no child in his marriage to Titilope and he never had any outside wedlock.

I credit his wife. she is as proven to be loyal and a support.
for education sake though and academic exercise; I deduce the triplet is one strong proof that he can't really copulate with his wife. This children most likely have been gotten only through artificial insemination or culturing (IVF). This procedure often ends multiple babies

Christianity EtcRe: Ese Walter Visits COZA In Disguise, Recounts Experience by thinkmoney(m): 11:02am On Oct 27, 2019
SleekGist:
COZA senior pastor and founder, Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo first accuser, Ese Walter who first publicly accused of sexual abuse in 2013, has disclosed on social media that she recently attended Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA) .

The Yoga instructor  said that she disguised and attended the church where her sexual relationship with the COZA founder began. Giving her reasons,  Ese said  attended COZA to gauge how far she has come in her healing and also to have an experience in the church building she contributed her one year NYSC allowance for.

She wrote "I attended service at COZA.

Disguised of course  (Spy my wig and shades.) I even sat close to the stage and observed the entertainment up close.

Why did I go to COZA?

Two reasons.

The first one was to gauge how far I had come in my healing.

It was the last Sunday before I left for India. I was going to share the photos then but a lot was going on with COZA leader that I didn’t want to throw myself in the middle of all that.

I knew India was going to mark a huge transformation for me and I thought about the one thing I didn’t know how I felt about and how I might conquer it.

COZA came to mind.

For years I had convinced myself that I was at war with COZA and as my healing progressed I realised that story didn’t hold water so I came up with a plan to go attend service there and see what comes up for me. A friend agreed to follow me in case things didn’t go as I planned

I was pretty amused with the whole being there and sitting in the big ass auditorium looking how far it had grown since its Metro plaza and Dome days. I didn’t recognise one face in the choir though a few protocol members looked familiar.

I also found that I wasn’t angry, hurt or any of the other feelings I had dragged on myself for years. I was very entertained too. It made sense why I was drawn to the church back in the day. I have to admit the founder knew what his focus was when he opened “shop” in Abuja. Sitting there made me realise I had moved past many of the things I thought I hadn’t moved past. It made sense why I wasn’t interested in investing my energy in the recent dragging of its owner. Like I said in story 1, this Ese hardly recognises the Ese of 2013.

The second reason I went was, when COZA was still at Metro plaza, I contributed my one year NYSC allowee to the church-building project. I invested in that building. Do you know what it means to give all your allowee as a corper? It didn’t make sense that I had not seen the building I contributed my 12 months allowee to. Spiritually, I own some part of the building and it made sense to experience it at least once.

Just as the message was ending, I left with my friend and he took these photos of me outside. That was sometime in August and I am glad I didn’t share the photos then.

When I left for India after this experiment, I knew I was going there free from any beef or bad belle for any human or institution. Truth is, the beef must have ended a long time ago but I didn’t realise this because I was following a narrative that Ese hated COZA, or pastors or even Christians. I don’t hate anybody. Hate is too much energy and I’d be damned if I allow anybody or anything determine how I show up in the world and who I beef. It will pain me to beef anyone or anything because that will mean giving my power away. If there is something I have learned about mind control, it is, you decide how you RESPOND to EVERY situation.

If there is anything I have to say to the owner of coza and even coza in general, it is THANK YOU.

If I didn’t lose my faith, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to explore life on the level I am exploring it now. My biggest freedom has been the freedom from religion and it’s shackles. Boobbabies are lucky they won’t have to go through that programming.

What going to COZA proved to me is, we can choose how we want to show up in the world, we can choose what we let limit us and how we use our painful experiences to empower ourselves.

I left India a deeper person than the one that went there. I looked my former wounds in the face and thanked them for showing up. So when I say I can lead you through your pain and to your healing, I am speaking experientially not because of something I learned in a book.

I am powerful beyond measure.

When I think of myself these days, I see myself on the level of the character Jesus, Buddha and some mystics of India. I am no simpleton and maybe this is why my “troubles” have been life altering.

I am going to do what I said I will do.

Social media was set on fire in 2013 after Ese Walter made a public confession about her illicit love affair with Fatoyinbo while she was studying for her master’s degree in London. According to her narrative, Fatoyinbo had gained her trust, favour and confidence over the one year period she was attending his church before she travelled abroad.

While hers was not particularly a rape incident, she alleged that Fatoyinbo initiated the sexual move that would turn into an illicit sexual affair that lasted for days.

She shared beautiful photos click to see all here:

Jesus cursed a similar generation to ours in his days. a blind generation that lack discernment. very wretched and backward. most of us as missed the point here.
the point worthy of note is what that wolf in sheep's clothing has turned this lady to.He has made her loose faith and lost on the labyrinth of 'false help' around everywhere. look at her referencing Buddha and even equating him with Jesus!? Shouldn't we be AAANNNGGGRRRYY at these scammers masquerading as pastors/shepherds!!?

my dear, that's the problem we have today. don't allow anybody read the Bible for you.God in his love has made it available. read it and make researches 'with your power of reason.' It's ur guide in the journey of life,ur spiritual food (would u let somebody eat for u?).
my take on the issue is that when u read the Bible and study Paul's books u will see that long hair for male was not looked on favourably, so it's most likely that Jesus wore his hair shot. about the garment, like many things Jesus advised against like taking front sit in an assembly, he wasn't advising against it, he was just against the way the Pharisees use it to show off. Long garments or robe may be the preserve of the rich who could afford extra garment material. However the case may be, research and literatures from Jesus time suggest males cloth be it robe, cloak or coat was always distinguishable from females. READ THE BIBLE PLEASE

Things And Places To Avoid In Uyo, Akwa Ibom State

As written by Osam

If you're planning to visit or already living in Uyo, in Akwa Ibom State, please written below are things and places you need to avoid for your own good, while you are in Uyo.

1. The Phone Repairers Around Plaza: Should your phone get spoilt, while in Uyo, pls don't make the mistake of taking your phone to any of the so called phone repairers around the popular plaza, cos majority of them are scammers. They don't know how to repair phones.They are just there looking for unsuspecting customers to swindle.
Most of them are agents who pose and pretend to be genuine phone repairers. They are just there to seek and collect phones from customers, which are later taken to the real (but not so good) phone repairer somewhere for repairs. The outrageous fee collected from customers are usually shared between them. And most times, they are unable to repair the phones after collecting money from the owners of the phones. Their main aim is to 'chop' your money. They are swindlers. They don't take their time to learn the work well before setting up shop as phone repairers.

Don't take your phone for repairs to any of those guys at plaza. Simply look for an authorized and well established phone repair company to take your bad phone to in uyo.


2. Shoe Sellers At Plaza: Avoid buying shoes or any footwear on display from any of the sellers around plaza. Majority of them sell substandard footwears that won't last more than 3 months before they start getting spoilt. Avoid them!

They may be cheap, but they are substandard footwears. Save enough money and go to any good boutique in Uyo to get quality shoes that you can wear and enjoy for a long time.


3. And avoid dating Uyo girls. According to some guys I spoke with, most of the girls in Uyo are scammers. Many of them work hand in hand with their main boo to deceive and scam unsuspecting toaster or lover boy. They told me, most of these girls are usually sent and used by their main uyo boyfriend (that can't take care of them very well), to deceive and scam any guy that might want to date her. The girls will give the new loverboy sex, just to make him feel happy and convinced, while they (together with their main boo) feed on his money and resources...

In order not to be scammed, they are advising guys to face their work/business, and avoid Uyo girls. Cos the girls are not in Uyo to count flyovers. They are there to make money off guys.
if the picture u posted is that of an uyo girl!? I say naaaaaa to ur advice. I DIE HERE


Well joke apart, my fiancee is an uyo girl and she is the most wonderful person I have ever met. SIMPLE

Do not blame Islam.
Islam is not a person.

Islam is not the individuals that send their loved ones to rthes home of shackles for rehabilitation.

The people running these homes did not kidnap the individuals, even though they're forcefully keeping them against their wills, but atleast it was their family members that brought them there for whatever reasons.

I'm not a Muslim before you start, but I really hate when we divide ourselves like this and incite hate with our statements.
my dear, peoples ideologies and set of believe push them. the decisions and actions they take most time mirror what they take into their head and mind.
so the source of this ideologies MATTERS

this children are overripe for rape.

I said that out of anger. The children shouldn't pay for their parents sin, even the father shouldn't be raped.
however, I can't help to think that this Man wouldn't post about his female children if he has a well functioning conscience.
In conclusion, I said the father shouldn't even be paid in in own coin. wrong doesn't right a wrong. he might be sick. he should just be kept away from the society - in a prison.

bigfrancis21:
I'm not supporting either sides in this argument but I would like to share my thoughts on the topic of souls. Listen, every human being on earth has a soul or living force that keeps them alive. Infact, we are souls or spiritual beings having a physical experience for the purpose of evolving our souls. Earth is like a tough learning ground where souls choose to come to for the tough experiences that earth life offers, which in turn propels souls to grow stronger and better. And yes, reincarnation is real - the veil of forgetfulness is there for temporary amnesia of our spiritual origins and background. Life does not start at birth. We all existed as souls in the afterlife and chose to come to earth for the experiences that we will take out of it.

Now, over the course of several lives lived on earth, certain souls who have interacted together severally in previous lifetimes in different roles (like mother-child, brother-sister, aunt-nephew) etc tend to develop an attachment to each other and may choose to incarnate together in subsequent lives as a way of maintaining that bond and staying together. These two souls complement each other and this perfect balance between them has helped them overcome their challenges in previous lifetimes. This leads to the existence of soul mates (a soul or souls who you have interacted severally with in previous lifetimes). A soulmate doesn't have to be your spouse or partner. A soulmate connection is not necessarily sexual or romantic but could be platonic. It could be your mother or father (whom you were so very close to more than your spouse), that best friend for lifetime that you wouldn't trade for anybody - not even your child, or very well could be your spouse etc. Sometimes, soulmates choose to be born as identical twins (as a way of ensuring that they stay together) and as you probably know, identical twins hate to be separated from each other. They need that bond for a purpose that they need to achieve in their current lifetime. Also, soulmates may also decide to incarnate as couples destined to meet each other at some point in their lives, and this may be heterosexually or homosexually. Reproduction is a biological function of earth life, however, it is not necessarily required of every incarnating soul. Some incarnating souls with specific missions pick out earth lives with little or no distractions as possible as a way of focusing on their life purpose without the burdens that come with biological reproduction, Jesus Christ being one of them. However, soulmates who decide to incarnate as soulmates destined to meet themselves later in their lives may miss themselves while on earth or be carried away by some other distractions (human freewill comes into play), thus the reason some soulmates may prefer to incarnate as twins instead as a guarantee of that needed companionship to work out their life goals together.

The universe and life is way bigger than any religious book. Religious books may be there to lay the basic foundations of bits of knowledge or truth, however limiting your perception or knowledge of the universe to any religious book would be folly and stunting.
ok. u have taking the argument down a different path. I am sure of one thing though that this your knowledge is from another source other than the Bible. hence we may not be able to find a common ground. one thing I know though is that contrary to what some think as a result of the bastardisation of Bible teachings the Bible arguments can be subjected to reason and logic.
but can the same be said of your claims. other than you talking hypothetically about those things can you proof them?

Olivegreen:
You're missing the point!!!
Being gay is not just about gay sex just as love is not just about sex.
You just quote the Bible from beginning to end but you can't interprete it with wisdom.
I don't care how you have sex with your wife or husband ( by the way are you male or female?) To me, as long as you both love each other, you both can use whatever positions or methods to give yourselves pleasure during sex.

Some people just like acting blind and intentionally ignore the main point of certain issues. Sex is not the main point of the lgbtq+ community. The main point is that love is love regardless of one's gender. We fall in love with other people's souls and not their body.
My body was given to me so it should not define me but my soul is who I am therefore, it defines me.
If my soul loves the soul of another female then how is that wrong? I love her personality and not just her body.

Please let us stop this unreasonable spread of hate and intolerance.

Love is love.
talking about soul or body is a lack of Bible knowledge. the body was given to you for a purpose. you recognise something by its casing- you differentiate milk from bournvita by its case. we both love a good body cream and Hollandia yoghourt, however we rub one while we drink the other. would you because u love ur dog sleep with your dog? or you sleep with your father because you love him? we love this people and things not doubt, but there are different acceptable ways we use them.
you write Well my dear, this shows you are intelligent. I hope you see the wisdom in this. and that person that reacted with 'wtf' above me, that's a bad way to respond(though u have garnered likes). you didn't make any point. you show people reason for your argument with tact and love.

TV/MoviesRe: Experience With Dstv October Double Upgrade Promo by thinkmoney(m): 8:04pm On Oct 12, 2019
fratermathy:
Hello Nairalanders,

I actually purchased a new DStv decoder last month. It came with one month free Compact bouquet subscription. Towards the end of the subscription earlier this week, I received a call from a DStv marketer (01 280 6877). I was asked to upgrade to a Compact Plus bouquet for N10,650 in order to get double upgrade to the Premium bouquet. Since I wanted to resubscribe anyway (I actually wanted to maintain the Compact bouquet), I decided to do the upgrade and pay the extra in order to get the premium channels.

I paid the money and went ahead with the upgrade, believing that I was going to get the premium channels. After 48 hours, I was yet to get the upgrade and I sent an email. My email was not replied. I decided to call the customercare to make my complaint. The agent that spoke with me then told me that the promo is not for me as my account was only created in September. I queried her on why the company's marketer called me for a promo that I was ineligible for without mentioning it. When I got the message about the offer, it wasn't explicitly mentioned that it was for old customers ONLY.

My anger now is that I was essentially deceived by the company and their marketers to upgrade even when I did not want to. I do not actually need a Compact Plus (it's virtually the same with the Compact, apart from new sports content which I don't need). I only upgraded because I wanted to access the premium bouquet. I expressed my dismay to the customercare agent and told her that the company had tricked me. The extra money I spent is not the issue but the thwarted expectations that I had. I promised the agent to call out DStv for this blatant misuse of advertisement.

I have also tweeted @DStv, @DStvNg, and @DStvCare on this issue and have not gotten any response. I am bringing the issue here on Nairaland so that all Dstv customers or potential customers can know of the deceptive tactics DStv uses in its advertisement. Before you deal with DStv, make sure you ask them to tell you ALL the clauses because they won't tell you. All they need is your money so they don't care about consumer rights.


I will also forward my complaint to relevant regulatory agencies as well.
my friend, a lot of us have encountered this one way or the other. the sad thing is i wouldn't even know where to turn to. that's is why I believe there is a lot of anger in this country. I won a particular amount online at bet9ja, I was only credited 2/3 of the money, I called like two customer care, they promised each time they will look into it. they didn't. plus I was expending my airtime each time I called. Nigeria is so so not working. in a saner country there will be bodies that handle such matter. u can even sue them. But here, u will be forced to forgo the matter. and tension only mount. mtn, glo and even banks are guilty of this shabby treatment of customer.
PoliticsRe: Budget 2020: Buhari "I Have Cold Because I'm Working Hard" by thinkmoney(m): 9:24pm On Oct 08, 2019
OndoFirstBorn:
President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday has said that he is suffering from cold.

He, however, attributed his ailment to his hard work as the President of the country.

Buhari disclosed this while presenting the 2020 Appropriation Bill to a joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja.

Immediately after observing protocols and before presenting the details of the bill, the President apologised for his voice.

He said, “Before I proceed to read the details of the budget, let me apologise for my voice.

“As you can hear in my voice, I have cold because I am working hard.”

The comment attracted loud laughter and applause from all those inside the chamber, including the President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan; Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, federal lawmakers, state governors, members of the Federal Executive Council and leaders of the ruling All Progressives Congress, among others

my friend Mr president, u and I know it's the loneliness u are experiencing of late in the other room that has given u cold. I don't just understand why Aisha has been away for so long. or as she found a way of linking up with the other room specialist, KANU king of IPOP

Thanks for your contribution bro.
According to you, if I get you right, the fact that you can afford it is enough justification.

I don't believe this is rational. A rational human being spends on what adds value/benefit to his life.
I have told you the rationale: Ego service! isn't that enough rationale!? you might want to add vainglory....I haven't seen any president use this kind of phone. Dangote or Otedola themselves don't at the least carry it. except for their opportunist children that would have been poor assess if they had been birthed by another.
*plus, resale value after years is poor. it diminishes drastically.
* it attracts undue attention to one, from robbers and materialistic, shallow ladies and companions. people that would leave you as soon as u can't flaunt such things again.
* finally, I want to point out to you that I barely have such amount anywhere, so I might not really know what I am talking about.

We work hard to earn money, so it's rational for us to spend our money on only products/services that (we believe) will add value to our lives.

Yesterday, I heard of a phone that costs #600k. The first question that came to my mind was:

what will I enjoy from this phone that my Google Pixel won't give?

So I decided to throw this question to the house.

How can you rationally justify spending #600k on a phone?

Thanks.
very simple answer: Ego service
