I dreamt about fall of UK,
Help them pray please

Help them what?
Help them speak English?
A I help them colonise another country?

rawpadgin:
U mean Nigerian police don't have stun gun or rubber bullet?

What kinda country is this?

When they meet unarmed citizens, they have guns.
When they meet fully armed and ready bandits, they don't have guns.

lefulefu:
she doesnt seem happy

It will be a marriage of pity.

In later years, when she's doing her hair in the hair dressing salon with other ladies, you will hear this gist... "... Hmm my husband is so useless. That's how he almost died in public begging me to marry him. I was just SORRY for the idiot after 10 mins of keeling down that day, Ehn."

And she will keep on repeating this story to the great sorrow of the man.

ebonyggurl:
Looks like she accepted out of pity

It will now be "Pity Marriage"
The worst type of marriage.

Don't you just love Africans?

They intentionally walk into trouble then start running helter-skelter to look for solutions. I won't be surprised for some to start calling for prayers. Haven't they heard "Prevention is better than cure". Less than 4 months after voting Buhari back in power, everyone is complaining already. Cry me a river! I wish Buhari will hit harder. Next Level fantasy has turned to nightmare. Oh well...

Enjoy yourselves!

Less than 4 months after voting Buhari back.
Did we really vote?
I'm an IT admin at at firm. I didn't chose the job. God gave me. I am originally a Mechanical Engineer.

From this IT, I have learnt how to make a computer display any thing I want it to display, down to BIOS and system Registry.

So for those who say they trust computer printout, calculations or results, INEC Server, it can just be what I felt like writing that down that day that you are reading there. Na only God dey guide conscience.

We probably didn't vote for Buhari at all.

OBTMOS:
Am third to comment... Gradually the dream is coming to pass.

Quite a low ambition

deltateam:
Op I don't think your topic is well constructed. Its not specific to husbands alone. It should rather be "individuals" because wives, bachelors and spinsters are involved too.

Husbands try to earn more than their wife and when she dies, it's not her money anybody wants to be struggling for.
Most times, if the woman is a millionaire person, she has already kuku divorced or is doing one feminism single something.
There's kuku already nobody to touch her money.
So the issue concerns men mostly.

deltateam:
You will be surprised pension doesn't know about this. Go and inform them let them hold the manager by the neck. Write to pensions and CBN.

Manager wanted you to back out so he can eat alone. Since he has eaten alone, next is to die alone.

This is also done to soldiers. I heard from one that when they are sent to fight Boko haram with useless weapons, they will be killed off. Their allowance wills still be entering their accounts. Their Soldier boss will not tell government that this particular soldier is dead and gone. So the money accumulates in the bank. The Bank and soldier Oga will withdraw it and eat everything.
The soldier who told me this had just received debit alert from the bank. They thought he was dead. So he had to run to bank to show himself and investigate.

Blastedholligan:
There's this sweet Akata I met on fb, we are getting along well and she's thinking we could spend our lives together. She's a single mother of one, older than me with one year and a medical assistant.

Now the problem is, she doesn't really earn too much and she has accumulated alot of loans that could amount to 50k dols and she wants to acquire another to study at the University for 4years, calculating all these could amount to like 150k dols and I've not even talked about my own cos I'll have to sponsor myself through school.

Another issue is that I don't think I'm really ready to settle down cos I really need to hustle and make money to help my family if I eventually travel before marrying and I intend on doing a course here in Nigeria for Digital Marketing to help me secure a nice job.

My problem now is, I'm scared of marrying someone who has acquired these loans cos Las Las na me go still follow pay wetin I no sabi.

Please, I need a clear guide on what I should do cos I don't wanna be selfish here with her by using her to get to the USA, I'm very willing to let go of her if I have very good reasons to.

Pardon my scattered words.
H

She's getting along with you because she is in need.

Revolva:
And so what is that your problem

Learn to appreciate

Ask your self wat can your race do noting but consume and hate one another

I'm really sad about this. Our Education has been messed up, Electricity messed up. And civic duty, messed up.
We're just here unable to do anything but consume

seunmohmoh:
Number 1 data consuming app...Una well done.

Then ya complaining about data?

Who send you this message?

EyezofGod120:

After you will graduate and be looking for job. When you can't find a job, you will still have no business idea.

Have the idea Now!

The Holy Spirit and Creativity
Key Scripture
Matthew 15:11,18
[11]It’s not what goes into your mouth that defiles you; you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth.”
[18]But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what defiles you.
Digest
First off, you need to understand that you have a new nature, a new heart, full of God’s love and a desire to do His will, let’s see what the word says about our renewed hearts.
Hebrews 10 : 16 – “This is the new covenant I will make with my people on that day, says the lord: I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them on their minds.”
Romans 5 : 5 – And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love.
We see that our hearts are renewed and our nature changed. One thing about the heart that we must note is that it is the center of expression. Before anything is expressed, it is first of all pre-determined in the mind, and then spoken out or expressed through whatever means desired.
Expressions also form the bed rock for creativity, whether it’s through song, drama, poetry, or what not. As believers, especially those who are creatives and want to express Christ through art, you need to understand that your messages should be full of the message of Christ. You have a renewed heart, so let your message be from your heart, and express truths about Christ.
God is not against creativity, in fact we are encouraged to sing Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual songs, but under the umbrella of Christ.
Colossians 3 : 16 – Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
So express yourself, but like the scripture above said, if it’s going to be about Jesus, then it should do a good job of “letting the message of Christ in all its fullness fill our lives”. The Holy Spirit within us helps our creativity, because of our renewed hearts, he teaches us to think right, speak the right words and express Christ properly. As you meditate on the truths about Christ that are in the word, you’ll discover that your creativity will change and open up. Your messages in your songs, or in your form of art will change, they will portray Christ and His truths for all to see, hear and experience.

Uncle, just say you have no business idea.

Richdad50:
You can't use that money to start a business in the era of NextLevel. Absolutely impossible.

#Richdad

Just say you have no idea.

Suicide attempt!! .

The hopelessness under APC is
just too much.

Bubu will kill us all.

People need to learn hand crafts and others need to buy their products to support them.

We can't keep on buying imported Chinese products which is the handcraft of Chinese people.

lilwetdick:
northerners are not the problem, you are the problem, check your environment, what have you done to improve it, if given that report, will you even act on it, check the state schools in lagos are they even up to standards, pls just stop your blaim game

What blame game? Is the Federal school his personal property?
Well to continue, he was called out of retirement to principal a private school in Lagos by people who appreciate good things. The school is doing very well as he finally implemented all those things Federal Government refused to implement in their schools.

But now every private school will go ahead and implement different standards uncoordinated. Some private nschools are so stupid that they train their children straight for Western nations. Those kids are TOO BIG to survive in Nigeria and that is another WRONG education that the wealthy cannot understand.

lilwetdick:
you made a very great point, that is why i stand for people to help their own native men to succeed if we dont have that national unity, this similar tactics is what the jews, chinese and others are using abroad, i believe there is nothing wrong, if an igbo man do group economy with other igbo people or a yoruba does that too, that is life and we shouldnt blaim tribalism, the reality is bird of the same feather flocks together.

Nigeria do not have any identity so lets developed according to tribal setting

Well, let's look at it this way.
There are many tribes and villages in Nigeria.
But everyone does not live inside village

Many live in City. And the number now rising.
The language not the city is basically the colonised language, English. The city is the most mixed up part of Nigeria and if all city expand more, everyone will have to be speaking English.
People cannot expand their villages due to culture. So those areas will shrink. But people are interested in expanding cities.

Maybe I'm wrong but I see more people losing their native tongue and speaking city English instead.
I've not met a Yoruba man who traveled to the east, entered an Igbo village, learnt Igbo and built house there. If at all, he will travel to the city and that what Igbo guys do also. Travel to city in the west and slowly expand it

franchasng:
Who are the leaders in Nigeria

Is it not ordinary Nigerians like you that grew up to become leaders of today

Who was Buhari 10 years ago Wasn't he a whining old man crying up and down that if Nigerians elect him as President that he will transform Nigeria

What has he done today that he is President of Nigeria

Every nation produces leaders that show how the general population of that nation is.

All Nigerians except very insignificant few are bad and corrupt!!

And those insignificant few good Nigerians can never be allowed to lead Nigeria mostly because of their tribe, so Nigeria and black nations have no foreseeable hope, oh yeah

My Dad worked as an Educationist. He was a Principal of Fed Govt Colleges, later an inspector of Govt Colleges.
So he was always under the Minister of Education. First, Babatunde Fafunwa, then Jibril Aminu. .
He wrote reports and recommendations for schools. These report were carried UP the ladder and eventually get to the desk of the Minister to read and implement.

The Minister did not read, and did not implement. Next thing, they bring one northern who knows nothing and place over my dad as his boss.
This is what Ministry of Education did. Till my dad retired. He was upset many times. The Minister is put there by politics. All other permanent secrety and government staff are placed by qualifications. But it started turning into Man-know-man positions.

Hence you can see the BS we have today as Education standard

RTSC:
Every race in America have been told to go back home at a point in their history.
Even the mighty German people were told go back home.

The difference between those groups and Africans was that they actually went back home and develop their countries.

Now they can afford to go to america with dignity and honour.

The Diaspora was rooting for sowore, while the backward nutjobs in Nigeria were campaigning for buhari and atiku.

You can't help those that don't want help. Trump should remember that when next he asks Africans to go home.

A German overseas is very much proud of Germany back home. There is some sort of correlation.

A Nigerian overseas is confused. Does he identify with the whole Nigeria, here or with his tribe/village inside Nigeria?

Most other western countries don't have this problem
Definitely not Chinese. Chinese is Chinese.
I was in UK once. As they foreigners there can speak, Italian, Spanish, Indian, German, somebody asked me to speak "Nigerian" let them hear it

Can you see the problem? There's nothing called "Nigerian". Hence people don't know how to help this nation.

franchasng:
Until you throwaway your phone, log out from this internet, burn down your electricity supply, and create your own black indigenous technology communication, power, etc and then talk to me from there, we can't discuss this topic further.

We had technical schools in the past
We used to have practical science and technology education.
We used to have manufacturing plants..
We even used to have Nitel, landlines
-
But these things broke down
Government did not support/pay salaries of people in these practical trades.
For whatever reason, we allowed imports from China. Cheap nproducts, competing with our made in Nigeria. .
So everyone just import gadget thinking that that's is how we will catch up with Western world

UNIZIK1stSon:



Its only in Nigeria that standard driving and road use practices are not observed.

In developed climes, speed limiters and detectors are used, Zebra crossings are provided at strategic points and strictly adhered to (even animals use them), the traffic police do not just control the traffic but curb driver's excesses and so many more...

With those things in place, we'll have less reports of these BS we hear everyday.

May her gentle soul rest in peace


Don't dare Click HERE!!!

In UK, this is what happens.
1. Everybody is registered.
2. With regstration,you have some sort of a social security number.
3. Every home address is registered.
4. Everyone is registered to their home address.
(A lot of database and paper work)
5. With your registration status, you can open a bank account (they know your house)
6. They will give you a credit card. This is extra money above your real money.
7. You can use that credit money to do business/whatever and pay back in monthly installments over a period of time
---
8. Depending on your credit rating and income, you can go to a car dealership and pick up the latest car and put monthly installments for X number of years.
-
In essences, everyone is able to afford new things. iPhone X, Galaxy S10,.. fine house, new car. Vehicles operate fine, brake pad etc.. People are relaxed. Everyone already has new things so they are not jealous of each other.

They don't save their money complete before buying anything. They just take it and pay in installments, till they sell it off to another person or pay off.

That's how UK economy works
The upside of this:
Manufacturers can keep manufacturing new things that people "buy".
Everyone gets new/latest/high quality things

The down side of this:
People tend to fall into perpetual debt.

Kehinde2017:
I think it's more interesting and I prefer it to American English

British are the owners of the Language.
Some Americans are British descendants. That's why they speak English there. Over the years, nature played a toll on their accent and it turned into American accent of English.


If you travel away from home for very long and no longer hear your home people speak, you will form a new accent of your home language by yourself

PETCOKE:
I don't know why British accent irritates me

Is that so?
And you writing their language here and speaking it everyday?
Kukuma speak your own language.

Phelix111:

Yes!
And you are guilty and sentenced to life in Nigeria.

5 Interesting And Sad Facts You Never Knew About Slavery

Well, we were just innocently minding our business.
They took advantage of our innocence/ignorance

Now, do your best to beat them at their game. Be as intelligent/creative/productive as them

Ugosample:
so so many

The Scandinavian countries speak impeccable English and speak their languages impeccably too

But in that tragic $hithole called NiggerArea, most "educated folks" can't speak their indigenous languages impeccably neither can they write and express themselves properly in it.

And they can't do same for English

so it's a serious problem

anyone not learning as many languages as he can in 2019 is cheating himself

I think the secret to any language is being in the midst of a majority of people who speak it.
Before Nigeria became a nation, our various tribes/parents, spoke excellent "Language"
One main reason for forming a nation, Nigeria, is for people to move around easily within the nation.
A person from the East can move to the North do trade/business with single currency.
English is the default national language to assist in communication around the country.
Everybody is meant to go to school, learn English, then use the English to speak with each other around the nation.
But people didn't learn or were not taught/practice the English properly.
We now have people moving about the nation, speaking bad English to each other, or speaking a common native tongue.

Education is not cheap. Our radio and TV stations were setup to speak in English to help with the learning.
But for whatever reason, some persons refuse to accept the English. We now have "Language" radio and TV stations.

We need impeccable English, Radio and TV stations in addition to impeccable English Teachers in schools. And compulsory English oral literature

Nathphil:
Is English lang the yard stick for excellence. China, germany and other great countries communicate ideas with any language. Focus on reducing una jumbo pay.

China, Germany, Spain, Belgium.... They communicate their ideas in their country's national language. They speak it at home, school, office and write their books, journals, website with that same language.

Our national language in Nigeria is what me and you are writing her, English.

Sunmolar:
How many productive Chinese can speak English? Yet they make footprints worldwide.

Chinese are a nation to themselves

They invented their own writing style. They don't use alphabets... It is already their own culture. They write all their books and scripts with their writing system. They calculate their mathematics and science in their language and written system. Though they accepted Arabic numerals, 0, 1, 2, 3.....

You, somebody gave you alphabets, A, B, C... which you use to spell English words, Ibo Yoruba,. and all our Nigerian languages
We never had a written language system in any culture till Whiteman came to write what we were saying in our various languages.

As for numbers, we never wrote it down or did mathematics with it.

So which noise are you making?

Write down 200.03² (two hundred point zero three, raise to the power two) in your native language. Then I know you are serious.
