Satan is the father of lies, not of sin.

From where cameth lies? And who births sin? Was it found in Elyon or Lucifer? Next time, crosscheck before refuting. There is a reason those he groomed were/are called sons of disobedience/man of sin.

God bless you for this testimony. I'm just wondering the type of minds we have on this thread. People love vanity die.. Kai...

It doesn't always work out that way.

I & my wife are almost age mates, she is 2 years Older than I am; have been married for 8 years and our marriage is going ever stronger. As God would have it, we both married as virgins. I am glad that I married her & not some other lady.

But do you know that some men have married a woman 10, 15, 20 years younger than them but these wives have given the men tough time, high blood pressure, even cheated on their husbands and as a result, the men have grown older quickly & are living a life of regret?

BTW, a few weeks ago, I attended the wedding of the daughter of a Redeemed Christian Church of God Pastor. I have known this man, his wife & even his children for decades. Guess what - The wife is older than the husband but they have been happily married for about 25-30 yrs.

Age is just a number....though it has led many men (and women) to make choices that they have regretted.

As God said in the book of Proverbs - wisdom is the principal thing, so get it...and with it, get understanding!

If you know the reason for my Close Up teeth.

I am a kind of person that don't believe in voodoo or jazz but with what is happening in my family now, jazz dey o. my only sibling (we were 3 in family though but our last born of 15yrs died last year) that was doing well in minna suddenly returned to village in Enugu and don't want to go back again.

My mum and some kindred took him to federal neuropsychiatric hospital Enugu where he spent one week and ran back to village. Though I spent over 60,000 during the period he was admitted there. We were thinking he will get better but he wasn't. A lot told us it is something spiritual. my parent visited some prayer house and they told them my brother is afflicted because they want to inherit my father's lands.

They went to a church today at Enugu and the pastor told them to bring 100,000 before he can do anything. is salvation not free again? my daddy has no amount of money and he already called me to send it which I won't send because that pastor sound so dubious. Giving him the money is not even the problem but what if he just collect the money and nothing changes?

If you know anywhere I can take my brother to in Enugu or Enugu axis please do let me know. He's my only sibling and I love him so much

Take him to Mountain of Fire

So in other words, Africans have less divorces because the wife is totally dependent on the husband and can't provide for the kids and herself so she remains in a unhappy miserable marriage.

That assertion by him that Africans have a less divorce rate is even inaccurate. I don't know the statistics he is referring to. Recently, on Fox I think, it was given to Asians. Nigeria, for a start, now has a higher divorce rate (https://www.thecable.ng/the-rate-of-divorce-in-nigeria). I can't find one specific article putting it at thousands in Lagos for just a month or so. That Africans don't divorce easily is just an assumption due to our lack of data collection and all.

It has become an idol...

Go and watch the series, Carnival Row

Nothing is absolutely wrong with me. Yes I have found love but the consequences are way far beyond me. It's not only gonna affect me alone but every other being from my father's loins. My parents will have a fair share of the consequences same is applicable to my siblings and every other person that involves themselves in a marital way with them. Honestly, I don't wish this for my worst enemy. Damning the consequences is easier said than done in this part of the world. To bad we ain't in the Western world where there is individualistic lifestyle.

I hate these little things...always smart and fast. Anything with life has intelligence.

Emmany13:
Bro abeg nah DSS Ikere u dey talk?

yes

Such a sad event...Still remember you in class during our high school days from jss 1...insecurity is now oxygen in the nostrils of Nigerians, and some still think all is well...looks like a dream.

Katier00:
those ones will add to my problems.

...anyways.. Good luck. If you need someone to talk to, pm me.

Katier00:
I need a counselor too but a professional. Someone that won't judge me but understands my healing process

Hmmmn...perhaps it's scarce to find one without the church tag.

lloyds:
I know a 3rd class holder from Unilorin that is working in World Bank now. Wole Soyinka had a 3rd class. .

Some were not serious in school, but the intelligence \ brilliance is there. . If they can wake up God on their side, their dreams can still be achieved.

Anyone can become anything as long as you believe.

Wole Soyinka had 2:1. Stop misinforming people.

I'm done with PayPal. We're no more in 2015. Now that Fintech companies are all over the place ...PayPal is gradually becoming yesterday's story. A trust pilot rating should convince you otherwise.

let's hope n pray this will not be like previous ones

what previous ones?

HeliosHay:
You are thinking too much about this tax thing..

Yeah 30% of the 70% (or 21% of gross sales) is deducted for withholding tax.

At the end of the day, the more money you make Amazon the richer you become..its that simple

Let me think about it ooo... Even for there, tax issues aren't nice at all

HeliosHay:
If you go to your KDP dashboard and see the total accumulated royalty is 1m, you will only get 700k paid into your Payoneer account. Amazon keeps the other 300k for withholding tax

You know I asked the same question of kesbat.

Amazon 70% royalty choice

30% by default is kept by Amazon as their profit.

Out of 70%, this is taxed by AMZ if your country has no treaty with them. Remaining 40%.

*Of course, Amazon won't tax their own profit, but yours.

Is my calculation whacked or am I right?

HeliosHay:
Yes...you have to have a tax id number

all right. Thanks

Okay...UK account requires a TIN, right?

HeliosHay:
Yeah...but I don't pay withholding tax cuz I live in the UK which has a tax treaty with the US.

What's up with this Amazon tax....they remove 30% out of the 70% royalty...remaining 40%, right?

HeliosHay:
Non-fiction is the best for beginners in my opinion. Fiction is more scalable than non-fiction but it requires a LOT OF MONEY to play big in that market. I publish exclusively in non-fiction and it has been very profitable so I see no need to venture into fiction. You can do well in non-fiction if you apply yourself and never give up.

If you're looking for what's possible, in June I made over $11,700 and so far this year I've brought in over $74,000.

June Income breakdown

KDP (ebook + KENP) = $1447.62
KDP Paperback Sales = $4026.74
Audiobook Sales = $6256.50

Total Earnings = $11,730.86 (N4.22 million)

Stick to non-fiction

Like someone said above, you don't have to be using English words...a combination can do

zylkenny:
When u search it says the name is available and u pay the N500. Then it goes for scrutiny. After sometime it gets disapproved citing to closeness to another name. The challenge here is that I need to get a name that is both available and not similar to any other

zylkenny:
Ok. So I’m trying to register a new business on the car website and when I get to the section where I need to check for the availability of the chosen name, I select 3 names and submit. After a few days it came out as denied, as it is too similar to another registered name. I have tried this several times, each time paying 500 Naira, still no luck. Is there a way I can know if a particular name is available? As I am wasting money by paying all this 500 naira. Thanks all

how can you be losing N500 every time. Didn't you use the CAC search feature before going ahead to register?

XRP needed.

How many times have we seen this news? Are they stalling? If dem wan use am, bring it out and let's see.. If not, they should shut up.

Igbobyblood:
because they are south and igbos, Nigeria government would rather die than help them

Well, the proverbial tick thinks he is killing the dog, not knowing he is killing himself... More companies irrespective of tribe, more jobs and lesser social vices emanating from joblessness...Most of the citizens do not have love, not to talk of leaders who still have historic vendetta against each other.

They just need packaging....government should encourage tech companies

fish too hurts my teeth..they get stuck in the gums and i can't pick them out.

Interesting... The thing is when I eat meat too much, my teeth hurts... So I revert to something else for a week or two... I seldomly eat fish... Just doesn't like the smell...

RealityShot:
i do not eat meat "daily".
..
infact, i only eat meat during easter, august, and christmas...
..
just to be clear..its because it hurts my teeth..so i can never buy it with my money again

So, what did you substitute for meat? Fish?

Just see the reactions, no value for life... What a messed up generation.

Genesis 18:20-21...emulate God.

cacboy:
Though you try to hide the fact that you're defending but your effort is not enough. Reference to Neymar saga, how many ladies came out to accuse Neymar of rape? Did you say one? How about this Coza saga? The bible says "In the mouth of two or three witnesses every matter will be established." Let all be honest with ourselves, we all know the truth, just that we don't want the truth t set us free

Like in Naboth's case? Established doesn't mean truthful... I just need to correct this notion. One of the seven things the Lord hates and can't tolerate is someone who bears false witness...
