Desirae:
I’m expecting a lengthy speech from my mum... “what will people say? A single unmarried woman living alone... you’ll chase men away”

What will be, will be. But I’m done.

It's kind of funny at the bolded in this 21st century. What is expected before? Stay with them till someone comes to pick you? Since you have a job, get yourself an apartment like others before me said. You are 30 years old. My fiancée is just minus 2, doing her own business, and she already got her own apartment living alone.

I couldn't agree more with Stallion93 and davep...I don't know what went wrong. Maybe you haven't noticed, if you look at our parents, they were given a free hand by our grand/great-grandparents. Most of them. They may not be literate, but they know that when a child has reached a certain age in their twenties, it is time to be independent, and it is no big deal. It is ironic that it is the supposed educated/literate ones who are messing up with parenting. I still don't understand. Desirae, you just have to free yourself o... No one would do that for you. Naija parents of their generation love to keep children under rather than set free like those before them did.

Brian ain't part of Whatsapp anymore. Remember he sold it to Mark. Even in this article, he invested $50million into a rival app.

Coldfeets:
But I thot Facebook owns WhatsApp?

So why would Brian Acton be working against his boss?



Yeah, I see your point.

But the question is, why will you help them by making it so easy for them to get those details?

Can you imagine, facebook has all your details and photos and that of your family and friends and the best part is that, you are even the one that FREELY gave it to them.

I get your point, but the truth is, no one is safe...there is no safety anywhere in the world. All you can do is just take precautions to manage "safety". If you like, hide your family all you want, if the CIA or FBI or Russian Intelligence want to get you, I bet they will...when you are not driven by fear, you are free....

Make una dey here dey deceive in a selves. As far you are using the internet, you do not have PRIVACY

best comment ever....na real self-deceit.

Sometimes I laugh when people talk, especially those in Naija here too wey go dey form privacy. Yawnss....you can't escape the NWO. At least, even if you don't use Fb, some of you do register for immigration passport to travel. So, either you like it or not, your data is with some folks....I have nothing in my cupboard. If you like sell my data, na u sabi....

Reason I hate dating women of lesser age; always drama queens that they are.

Joyintwos:
Please has anybody been able to track their application or print transcript label?

Was it not how a dumb mofo here sent me a private message to help him with tips and he ended coming here to insult me?

Dumb mofo is what he is.

Thank God you commented... I believe you've had one experience or two with bad belle as regards online business. I can remember your moniker in those days.... I think it has to do with blogging also, I think? I might be wrong.

Perhaps you do not know anyone can pretend to be naive just to get what they want and achieve their aim. Perhaps you should ask of one guy like that, I can't remember his name (I think isaacforart or so) whose expertise was looking for Africans camouflaging as whites on fiverr. He ensured many were deported and by the time those guys fought back, they literally destroyed his Google business profile after researching him.

Lunagirl:
I know you are panicking. Think it through. What account would he have used to report you? Remember he didn't know anything about upwork. How could he have opened an account yesterday night, verified it and reported you and upwork then suspended you all in that one night! It's just unfortunate it happened coincidentally like that.

For Upwork to suspend you that night means that they got the report earlier, reviewed it and suspended you. They just don't wake up and suspend. They must have taken some time to review it

Lunagirl:
See how you jumped into conclusions. The minute you are not using your real name or location, you stand a risk of being exposed at any time. And how can a new account report you and run you down? Especially if you have all the reviews you say you have. Re-strategize and try again.

You have no idea Lunagirl... Maybe you are still young in the freelancing world... His is not the first and won't be the last. Such has been happening since I can remember.... people running each other down... Not just freelancers, even bloggers. Reason some won't divulge their money-making blogs on NL. A lot has happened in the past, sis.

Fidelmalek:
that's my first lesson!
It'll never happen...
1581 gone just like that...
Just coz I was trying to help a Nigerian

No... It's not gone... Verify your identity... They will deport your flag and you will collect your money. But you can just be affected in getting upcoming jobs if preference is for American or European flags

Fidelmalek:
Hello everyone.
This is how wicked Nigerians can be.

How wicked can some people be?
I got a mail from someone requesting for me to put him through as regards getting an approved account, and I obliged... (that he's from nairaland blah blah blah
I screenshoted my profile for him and to show him how he should go about it, and I received a mail this morning that my profile is fake and that I should do an id verification on.
The modafuck'a set me up, and because he reported me, my $1581 has been placed on hold and I can't transfer my funds.
How's it a bad thing to help Nigerians?
Hey modafuck'a it you're reading this, trust me, you'll never succeed on upwork coz you a coward and a big one at that.
Never help anyone here again! As some people are from the sea.


God!!!

That's very unfortunate and naive of you. You should know the number rule... Don't divulge your freelance profile to NL folks or social media folks if he/she is not a trusted family/friend. I believe you are still new in the freelancing world and the bad belle acts perpetrated by Nigerians on each other.

Rather, the question should be what are progressing countries doing right that we are doing wrong. Creation of jobs is on the increase in these nations---both skilled labor and unskilled. So, Nigeria is simply deteriorating (that is the shameful reality), but not where it is supposed to be. We still have a lot of untapped jobs needed to be filled with 'graduates' in the agricultural, manufacturing, Educational, transport, mining sectors, etc. These can absolve a lot of skilled and unskilled workers if only the government is serious to achieve their full potential. We are still in the 50s regarding these things.

Rainmania:
You have option to choose your preferred network type.

OK... Thanks.

Rainmania:
I'm just enjoying my Nokia 5&6 . I get compliments like all the time. The thing dey swell my head no be small When I'm holding any of the phone(s) and anyone stares at me, I know it's my phone they are looking at. And the blue color is just eye catching. I know this Nokia 8 pro and 9 will not disappoint.

I need to ask you a question. Does one have the choice to change network mode to something like "3G only" as seen in other droids or is it the type that is stuck to change automatically?

Grupo:
It is not about services listed. Who listed those services? Remember one person can list 20 services. It seems you are not on fiverr. If you are, just visit any section, open all the gigs in a separate tab and count the number of Nigerians compared to other countries like US, etc.

Except you can pull out a data on this, your assertion is still based on sentiments. I am on Fiverr, and I am saying your assertion is exaggeration.

Haba guy... ...Fiverr with more than over three million services listed as at 2012. So, Nigerians took 70% out of it. Funny. Even the overall online freelancers in Nigeria (not on Fiverr now) may not be up to 20,000.

Grupo:
I verified my account those days with Google voice number before they blacklisted it. So, I'm still sitting in USA.
But his deportation too much o. The thing come reveal say more than 70% of fiverr sellers na Nigerians. Chai!

If fiverr block Nigeria, unemployment rate go high wella o

maureen44:
. Will find out from d mill but I don't think they buy in tonnes

OK... Thanks.

maureen44:
Palm fruits

Please, how much is the price of one tonne of palm kernel nuts?

Seun:
What is the micro-chip used for? The idea that some people will be saved by refusing to take "the mark" is poorly thought through since they can be drugged and given the mark whether they want it or not. Why would the evil "antichrist" respect anyone's wish to abstain from the mark?

That should tell you that the mark is not physical but spiritual...ignore this post...If the Bible says God is going to seal His people at this time, are they saying God too will now give out microchips?

shadeyinka:
I get your point. But I was talking to you purely as a Christian.

Children obey your parents in the Lord (in all things).

As long as one is dependent on ones parent and they are not leading you to hell/against God, this is valid!

We feel justified until the table gets turned

Don't also forget Colossians 3:21 @Flourishh too

ikihealthplus:
I recently signed up on payoneer and 3days later I got an email that my account has been succesfully approved. they didn't give me estimated time that my card will arrive my destination unlike before. a friend told me that they've stopped giving cards recently that I should call their customer care. why isn't it stated clearly on their site that they've stopped giving cards,,,youll still see FAQ on "I haven't received my card",,,,its really frustrating.,,,,pls I need your solution about this

Subudu gave you the right info. So, don't make an unfounded claim without thorough research. Still got my card recently.

It's not what goes into your mouth that defiles you;
you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth."
- Matthew 15:11

And who is talking of what you eat physically.... It only shows you need to learn when people speak with spiritual language.

MuttleyLaff:
Jesus wouldnt have a problem stepping into Big Brother Naija

Whatever is of the world is the world. That which is of Christ is Christ. No one can change the nature of the serpent by participating in its hunting game. Like my signature, the world has grown more wicked than trying to participate in its things. Jesus gave a commandment through John in 1 John 2:15.

When the world see the light of a disciple, those who like it will come (Isaiah 60:3). You can't change the world by participating... Excuse me, what do you want to go and say there? Jesus died for you, so bbn isn't right? Enoch didn't turn the sons of men by participating in their things. He first witnessed with his life, then men knew this guy pleased God. If you want to shut down the show, you don't need to go there. First live out Righteousness, show men the revelation of Jesus Christ with your walk, and people won't have time for mundane things. In 1930s, many left their homes, farms, etc to Ilesha just to witness the move of the Spirit.

MuttleyLaff:
[img]https://s1/images/duckEyed.jpg[/img]

Still the same answer, participation and watching.... Same thing.... Not allowed.

MuttleyLaff:
Let me ask you this.
What would you do if you had 100 sheep and one of them wandered off to Big Brother Naija?
Wouldn't you leave the 99 on the hillside and go look for the one that had wandered away to Big Brother Naija?
- Matthew 18:12

If wouldnt be polluted by it.
Why not?

And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
- Mark 16:15

Big Brother Naija isnt exempted from the world commanded to go into

"Suppose a man has 100 sheep and loses one of them.
Doesn't he leave the 99 sheep grazing in the pasture and look for the lost sheep until he finds it?
- Luke 15:4

If it is Big Brother Naija, the lost sheep wandered to, then Big Brother Naija it is, to go on to and look for the lost sheep

He said is it proper for a Christian to watch such? It doesn't even relate to what you are saying. He who has partake of holy things do not eat of things that defileth.

You just heard what I quoted....the tribulation is for all, and tribulation is beyond physical persecution. It is simply a war for souls. But before the tribulation will come, witnesses must first appear on the scene (verse 14 of Matt24), followed by the elect (bride). Verse 15 talks of the appearance of the Man of Sin. Verse 24 talks about the people talked of in the Epistle of Jude. Both verse 14-15-&24 are connected because the person that turned these people came in verse 15. We have not started preaching the gospel of the Kingdom o...not at all in the world. The gospel of the Kingdom is beyond the message of Jesus died for your sins; repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand. Hun-hun...that is Kingdom 101. When this message of the KINGDOM (not denominationalism) is administered as a WITNESS i.e certain disciples will live the Kingdom life out to all nations. Their life itself is ministration like Enoch, then shall the end come. But the coming of the end is not immediate as you can see. Other things followed which will bring about the appearance of Jesus in our sphere. The end that came in the days of Noah to that first world has been announced since and knew by righteous men before it even came. Enoch first appeared as a WITNESS to the message of eternal life...He lived it out...that is a witness; a message of the Kingdom, then the end came in the days of Noah. Now, what am I saying? It is good to prepare for rapture, but it is much better to upgrade yourself in God like Noah before that day comes. Before Christ will come, He must have first apppeared in many disciples. You will start seeing Him in men. That is the mystery of Maranatha. Jesus cannot come if the bride is still with spot, blemish, and wrinkle. If these things are still present in His bride; honestly speaking, Jesus won't appear. That day will catch some unaware because they are not in the light. The stars falling and moon and sun are forces that govern this present world loosing their grip on the minds of men as a result of certain people who walked with God like Enoch. The Great Tribulation is a spiritual war on souls to either continue in the love of God; the principles of the Spirit of Life or turn and accept the Life of the Antichrist. After people have been proven; these stars will fall in power, and the principalities will be shaken..booted out by force and cast down.

And the last verse in your quotes talks to shepherd who won't feed the sheep properly and treat them aright with what Jesus wants. That's the doctrine of reward.

MistadeRegal:
I see why JESUS CHRIST said it's going to catch many unawares.
Because not even Christians are watching and praying anymore.
Everyone just want to enjoy life...

Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
Matthew:24:29-31,37-39,44,48-50

Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ[a] had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin[b] is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God[c] in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2Thesalonnians 2:1-4)

MistadeRegal:
I deem this fit to let all and sundry hear this as it's a matter of life and death which I can't keep to myself anymore!
The rate at which I dream of JESUS CHRIST'S return/rapture these days is so alarming.
Please get it right with GOD now while you can.
It's no joke.
Do not take this as a joke.
I tell you the TRUTH, it's always been dreams so terrifying.
Get things right with GOD now while you still can.
Everything looks so real that I'd wake up to realize it's a dream but I know this is a message and warning to everyone including me, to prepare for the return of JESUS CHRIST.
This is not a chain message; I am not joking, posting this as the dreams comes daily now and today being the fourth day consecutive of having these dreams.
A word is enough for the wise.
I AM DIRE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS.
GET IT RIGHT WITH JESUS CHRIST WHILE YOU STILL CAN. NO ONE CAN TELL WHEN IT WILL BE.

tspouse:
I'm sure most us Christians read this in the bible ,God chased Adam and Eve out after they ate the forbidden fruit.the place was locked and was guides by the angels,

The question now is.

Happy First Sunday of the Month of February Friends.
Well, its no longer news that Big Brother Naija has started. I believe its a Reality TV show with lots of "twists" and "fun" according to the organisers with a whooping sum of N45 million naira to be won. Now, with all the baseless and irrelevant kissing and romance done in the Big Brother House including the Social Media Attention and Buzz. Here comes the question, Can a Believer participate and watch BBN?
