Religion / Re: The Married Women That Respect Their Spiritual Leaders More Than Their Husbands. by upwardmode: 6:14am On Oct 06, 2015

I'm still confused, the OP was about wives showing more respect and even running to the pastor for problems.

I only pointed out that I don't personally have an opinion on that issue in particular add I've never confronted it, nor know someone who has. However, my opinion based on biblical respect and love can be transplanted into this dilemma, and I'm sure many others.

Anyways, I won't continue going back and forth after this. If you don't get me, you don't get me...
OKAY, Noted. But Just to let you know, I reacted the way I did earlier primarily because your statements sounded like sarcasm... Nothing Personal, my Apologies. BTW where are you from?

Why?

I didn't disagree with the OP did I? I simply interpreted the biblical command for myself.

Ephesians 5:22-33New King James Version (NKJV)

Marriage—Christ and the Church
22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. 30 For we are members of His body,[a] of His flesh and of His bones. 31 “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”[b] 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.

Wherein the onus is on the couple to do as the scriptures command. I just mentioned that my own culture is different than Nigeria, so we don't have the originally stated problem in our own churches.
It does not matter if your are Nigerian or not...My Point is, you need to watch it... The devil does not attack Nigerian marriages n relationships alone through this means, other ignorant means exist.

I have to first if all be sure that the men they have at homes are men who are worthy to be respected. I am not in support of those who adore their pastors at the expense of their own sense, but then men should first of all be worthy of respect before the demand it from their wives.

ThenIf a man is worthy of respect, kneeling down to greet him isn't one of such signs. Asking for his opinion in matters arising us a good sign of respect. Regrading his opinion and giving reference to him as of the home is another. Treating him with courtesy and not talking down in him are signs of respect men see and appreciate not necessarily kneeling down to greet him even if he were 59 years older.

Men correct me if I am wrong.
You are seriously asking if "Your husband is worthy of respect in the first place"? Ha! Go n ask God for wisdom, else you are finished with this your mind-set.

I'm not a derail type of person, you mentioned me for what idk...
Anyways I have no contribution to make to this subject because where I'm from, this problem doesn't exist. In fact, it's a challenge to get families to attend church.
The culture of respecting others is structured in a completely different way. Personally, I don't go around calling my pastor Daddy, my boss is my boss.

If I'm to be a married woman, my currency is love whereas my husband's own is respect. (Wives respect your husband and husbands love your wives). IMO it's easy for women to love but hard to show respect, it's easy for a man to show respect but hard to give love. So I won't go back and forth in a divisive manner.

The only obvious thing, is that it's obvious that marriage is not by force and that both partners must choose wisely. That he's a man doesn't mean that he warrant your respect. That she's a woman didn't mean she is worth your love. If you marry well, then this wouldn't be a problem.
Thank Your God that you are not married... Your attitude stinks!

Politics / Re: The Fear Of Buhari Whips Nigeria Into Shape, &Africa Just Might Be Carried Along by upwardmode: 10:30pm On Sep 28, 2015
midolian:
“If Nigeria moves, then Africa moves. If not, then we must wait”. True? Seems like it.
[img]http://cdn.mg.co.za/crop/content/images/2014/11/12/katsinadurbar_square.jpg/300x300/[/img]
The Katsina Durbar, a parade of the Emir and his entourage on horseback that draws visitors from miles around. Nigeria is on the move, and Nigeria moves Africa. (Photo/File).

“IF Nigeria moves, then Africa moves. If not, then we must wait.”

I don’t remember where I first read that, but as a Kenyan I could never find a good reason to agree with it. That’s until I begun to interact closely with Nigeria. Over the past two years I have been a part of the Vecna Cares team that is working on designing and implementing an electronic health records tech tool for low resource settings in several Nigerian states.

I am just concluding my second trip to Nigeria in two years. The first time out, I spent all my time in Abuja and the outskirts of the FCT (Federal Capital Territory). This second time, I swam in the belly of the monster, venturing to some of the smaller rural towns of Ondo State, and then wound up my trip in Lekki area of Lagos. 

I have changed my stance. There’s no doubt in my mind that Nigeria moves Africa.

This is a huge country. The number that I was operating on when I first arrived was 140 million people strong. But having spoken to a few people here and seen it for myself, I dare say that we should be pegging that number at about 190 million if not 200 million. One of the most mind-boggling statistics that I heard is that Nigeria now has 120 million active cell phone users.

I am here shortly after an election that saw a former military dictator win by a landslide. Think about that for a minute. Where else in the world would such a sentence be written, read out aloud and make sense? 

It is said that during President Buhari’s first stint as leader of Nigeria, back in the 80s, Lagos was a hub for drug trafficking. Upon his assumption of command he decreed that drug trafficking would from then on be a capital offence. 

Then he backdated the law and declared that all those that were in jail having been convicted for it would now be executed. Nigerians watched the public executions one after the other in utter shock. Needless to say the drug trade ground to a screeching halt, or so the story goes.

His was a no-nonsense regime, they say. He did not tolerate theft. He threw people in jail for mere suspicion of theft.  When he left the throne, the weeds soon returned.

Sheriff back in town

Fast forward to 2015 and the sheriff is back in town.

It’s now September 2015, only months since President Buhari took over. The national electricity utility, the Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), which was never known to supply electricity for more than 2-3 hours a day is now consistently powering the cities for 20+ hours.

Port Harcourt petroleum refinery that had not refined even a litre of petrol over the last 15 years is now pumping hard, and Warri and other refineries are about to come back online. “To the best of my knowledge,” my host says, “there’s been no extra funding, technical assistance, or anything new given. This is happening because of the fear of Buhari.”

The fear of Buhari. What a wonderful phrase. Who would’ve thought that a president who wins a landslide election victory would be termed as being fearsome.

Still, I cannot find anything to disagree with this view. President Buhari has not even named his cabinet and all these things are happening. The terror group Boko Haram which was advancing southwestwards into the country is now said to be just months, maybe weeks, from being snuffed out. How is it that Nigeria is now winning a war that it was steadily losing for almost five years?

As I write this, the sitting Nigerian Senate President, a key member of the President’s party and one of Nigeria’s most powerful men, is facing trial for false declaration of assets. His trial is being broadcast live all over the country. No matter the outcome of this process, the message is that there are no sacred cows in Nigeria.

Waiting for Buhari

Since their election, none of the state governors have named their cabinets either. They are all waiting for President Buhari to set the tone, and then they will align. It is expected that some of the best performing governors who couldn’t stand for election by a two-term limit rule are competing to be in President Buhari’s cabinet. 

I never thought I would write such a thing when I came here. That governors in Nigeria would be angling for a cabinet position using their excellent past performance as credentials, in order to get to do even more transformative things on the national stage. Confusing, I know, in a continent where people just do a smash-and-grab on power.

“A governor in his state is more powerful than the President of Nigeria in the whole of Nigeria,” declares my host. So why would a person with near absolute authority feel the need to compete at all? It’s a sign of an emerging meritocracy, which the cynics had long-said was impossible in Nigeria.

Times have changed here. Nigeria has managed over the past few years to create a demand for more accountability, more thinking, more prosperity. It’s why the former president Goodluck Jonathan had no chance in his re-election bid. He has sunk into mediocrity, become out of touch and got comfortable. He didn’t take any decisive action against Boko Haram until six weeks before the election. The people saw through this.

Now, of course not everything is rosy. It is now emerging that former president Goodluck Jonathan withdrew almost $300M is cash from the Nigerian National Bank just as Nigerians went to the polls. 

Many of the governors who have taken office have complained bitterly that the bank accounts of their states are empty having been looted heavily just before their election.  As a result some states have seen industrial action by state workers as they have been unable to pay salaries, and many have gone home with empty pockets.

There’s blatant and open corruption everywhere you see somebody wearing a uniform. Murtala Muhammad International Airport in Lagos is a shakedown experience like none you have ever seen. 

The check-in counter guy will shake you down, the civil aviation authority official issuing directions will shake you down, immigration people will bleed you dry and the the customs people will eat your bones. Then you will go to the loo and the cleaning lady will ask you to leave her “something for the weekend.”

Still, there’s a lot of fresh air in this country. A renewed expression of critical thinking, innovation and commitment to public service. Of course nobody knows how things will turn out over the course of this presidency but one thing is for sure Nigeria is on the move and the rest of Africa is likely to benefit.

The fear of Buhari. Long may it continue. grin

Whoa! You people can judge!!!!

No where in the said he actually is sleeping with the woman . It was an allegation.

Now assuming it so happened to have been in an affair with the woman, killing the man in his own house is pure stupidity.
That's premeditated murder and the hangman's noose is what he should get.

Sex is overrated in this part of the world.
It is not worth killing for neither dying for.
What is this one saying self... you go and sleep with another man's wife, and he catches you then see what awaits you. that time you will know if sex is overrated, underrated or not rated all. nonsense

Lol. You are a poultry farmer, you started with 300birds and on your third set.

Despite all this claims, you still advice someone to raise 10,000 birds to 12 weeks with N2m. Chai., for poultry farming experience no be here ooo.

This is my 4th year in the poultry industry. And if what you teach in your farm at mowe is how to raise 10,000 birds to 12weeks with N2m, then you are on your own.

10,000 broiler birds will consume at least 1,500 (25Kg) bags in seven weeks from day old. Not to even talk of 12weeks.

At an average of N2,400 per bag, you are definitely on a long thing raising 10,000 birds with N2m.
what happened to mixing your feeds to cut cost. That's why I don't allow Yoruba people come to my farm... you people talk too much... My third set and with 1400 birds at the moment. When you venture in poultry as trial and error while won't you b sounding pessimistic ?

My Guy , Look for any available land and start poultry farm... That money will will give you about 10,000 birds for a start... I will advice you start with Boiler then you move to layers later...Don't mind all this jesters who just want your money.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Two Job Offers. I Am Confused by upwardmode: 6:46pm On Aug 26, 2015
Taiw:
I just got employed to work in a startup sub-company(formed as a result of diversification) that is leveraging on her parent company(an engineering firm). The sub-company is into eCommerce and I am the only software guy handling the platform using opensource. I feel I am not really learning anything new, I code less and besides the company is yet to make her first sales. We are still putting things in place with the support of the parent company. The job is on the mainland and I stay on the mainland. The fear is that i will be under pressure especially if sales are not coming in

While trying to settle down, an IT firm came calling. I kept posting them by delaying my resumption date but they want me on board as soon as possible. As a matter of fact, they want me to start next week. I even tried to renegotiate salary even though both salaries are almost the same. They are offering to make me undergo a 6 months training in advance programming during my probation period. Its a place for me to learn more and is inline with my career ambition considering my degree and the fact that I love programming. The bad side is that the job is on the island and I will spend more. Its an already established firm with headquarter in usa. While the former is just starting out, but her parent company also has offices in usa and uk and are ready to patronize the sub company.

I plan to start my masters(full-time) in unilag very soon which is inline my the latter. shuffling the masters programme with island will be a bit difficult than on the mainland.

What do you advise?
This is a very decision... Simply move to the guys that can give you growth. Start-ups will look for interns to work with... You need to up it man!
