Nairaland / General / #lazynigerianyouths: Linda Ikeji Also Reacts To President Buhari’s Speech by VeraNathaniel(f): 10:54am On Apr 20, 2018
Nigerians have continued to react to a controversial statement by President Muhammadu Buhari allegedly condemning Nigerian youths.

Top Nigerian Blogger, Linda Ikeji has reacted to a comment ascribed to President Muhammadu Buhari in which he said that a lot of Nigerian youth want everything for free.

Buhari made the speech while speaking at the Commonwealth Business Forum in Westminster on Wednesday.

The president said a lot of Nigerian youths have not been to school and they want everything for free.

According to the President,

“We have a very young population; our population is estimated conservatively to be 180 million.

More than 60 percent of the population is below the age of 30.

A lot of them have not been to school and they are claiming that Nigeria has been an oil producing country, therefore they should sit and do nothing and get housing, healthcare and education free.”

Reacting, Linda ikeji shared a throwback photo and wrote on instagram:

In my office 10 years ago as a struggling 27 year old entrepreneur…10 years into my hustle which started at 17. Not a lazy Nigerian.✌

Celebrities / Open Heaven 20 February 2018 (friday) – No Food For The Lazy Man by VeraNathaniel(f): 12:04am On Apr 20, 2018
Topic: No Food For The Lazy Man [Open Heavens 20 April 2018, Friday]

Memorise: “And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;” – 1 Thessalonians 4:11

Read: 1 Thessalonians 4:3-12 (KJV)

3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;

11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

Bible in One Year: Judges 10-11, 2 Timothy 3-4.

MESSAGE:

A lazy man is described in Proverbs 10:4 as someone who works with a slack hand. He or she is also described as slothful in Proverbs 12:24. The Holy Spirit warns us against slothfulness in Romans 12:11:

“Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord;”

Some people are fervent in spirit but slothful in business, whereas some others are diligent in business but not fervent in spirit. These are lopsided Christian lifestyles which are not profitable. In today’s memory verse, we are warned against being lazy. Laziness results in some people becoming so poor that they become fraudsters to make ends meet. Defrauding others is a terrible sin that calls for God’s vengeance (1 Thessalonians 4:6). Lazy Christians take advantage of the generosity of the Christian brotherhood to defraud other diligent Christians. Such lazy ones do not want to work with their hands. Instead, they go from house to house and from church to church to defraud the brethren under several pretexts. Interestingly, this is not a new development in the Body of Christ. Under the guise of awaiting the second coming of the Lord, laziness was so rampant in the Church at Thessalonica, so much so that some believers abandoned their trade and businesses to loaf around. For this reason, Apostle Paul, after his initial epistle, further wrote to this same Church in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, saying,

“For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat.”

Today, job scarcity makes it difficult for us to know who is actually lazy among the brethren who loaf around other brethren. In actual fact, it is not the lack of jobs that makes people unemployed; rather, it is pride and the unrealistic dreams of white collar jobs. Some would not do any other job than what they were trained to do in school. These group of Christians should learn from people like Apostle Paul, who in spite of his degree in law engaged in tent making to make ends meet (Acts 18:3, Philippians 3:5). Some people are misguided into thinking that doing manual labour would drain their anointing; this is a lie of the devil. The Lord promised to bless the work of our hands, not our idleness (Deuteronomy 28:12). The story was told of how God directed a young but brilliant Christian to start clearing human waste in a modern way, and he became a millionaire through it. If you are naturally lazy, you need supernatural healing, because laziness is a disease that can kill the body and throw the soul into hell. Therefore, detest it with everything in you.

Action Point: Create a job if no one offers you one; you are a child of God with the ability to create things.

Celebrities / To Have A Kid, Funke Akindele Must Marry A Gate Man – Prophet Faleyimu by VeraNathaniel(f): 7:40pm On Apr 19, 2018
Dr Olagoroye Faleyimu, of the Mountain of Blessing and Miracle Church of Christ, in a recent chat with YMG, said actress Funke Akindele will not have kids unles she marries a gateman.

In his words;

“Recall that I have once said that Funke Akindele will keep acquiring more wealth, this was even before she started getting endorsement deals. She chose wealth and fame when she was coming to earth.

She is a promised child who has a limited time to live, and that is why I have been clamoring that she must have a special prayer so that she can genuinely conceive and have her own kids.

It is not something you ask a pastor to do for you. Counterfeit prophets have been predicting this and that about her, claiming they saw a set of twin in her womb, and that was why the rumour was everywhere a few months ago that she was pregnant. .

She needs to open her mouth to deliver herself. If she fails to do the prayer, another grace for her is to marry a poor and unpopular pastor, the person will get the solution and she will have her own child.

Another way she can break the covenant is to probably marry a gate-man. This is the promise she made with her members in the spiritual realm. It might be difficult for her to have a child if she fails to break the covenant.

If she comes to me for prayers and I pray for her, she won’t conceive. I can only give her some prayer points as guideline. Immediately she engages in the special prayers, one of the signs she should watch out for is that, her money and endorsements will be reducing and within 2 months, the pregnancy will come.

For the husband, he also has his own battle that he needs to pray about, in order for him to be set free. If not, he will marry about 5 wives before one will eventually stay. His story is like that of the Ooni of Ife, the king needs to marry 2 wives at a go before he can experience a peaceful marriage.

The Ooni of Ife can marry another wife and retake his first wife also. If not, he will marry 7 before one can stay.“

Crime / DOMESTIC VIOLENCE: Woman Left Blinded After Acid Attack By Her Husband by VeraNathaniel(f): 12:31pm On Sep 01, 2017
Some men are animals in human clothing.

A wife is only able to cry after she was left blind and unable to eat or speak when her own husband threw acid over her face in a horrific attack .

Atsede Nigussiem, 26, had been at home when she opened the door to estranged partner Haimanot Kahsai, 29.

Without warning he allegedly poured a corrosive substance all over Atsede’s face leaving her in agony as her five-year-old son Hannibal Kahsai slept inside.

Atsede ran screaming into the street for help from neighbours, while Haimanot fled.

Two months later Atsede is still in pain, her mouth has been melted together so she cannot talk, she is blind in her left eye and at severe risk of losing the sight in her right eye.

She eats and drinks with a straw and spends all day “crying non stop” – one of the few things she can still do.

Communicating in writing, she said:

“I don’t know why my husband did this. I was at my parents house late at night. I just opened the door and it happened. I’m heartbroken and in pain.”

Atsede, from in Tigrai, Ethiopia, said she had been married for five years to her husband before he moved to neighbouring Yemen for work February and lost contact.

He then returned unexpectedly and launched the unprovoked acid attack after turning up unannounced at 11pm on July 15.

Medics recommended travelling abroad for long-term care and treatment.

Celebrities / Facebook Ceo, Mark Zuckerberg Welcomes Second Daughter, August by VeraNathaniel(f): 6:07pm On Aug 28, 2017
Priscilla and I are so happy to welcome our daughter August! We wrote her a letter about the world we hope she grows up in, and also hoping she doesn’t grow up too fast.

Dear August,

Welcome to the world! Your mom and I are so excited to see who you will become.

When your sister was born, we wrote a letter about the world we hoped she and now you will grow up in — a world with better education, fewer diseases, stronger communities, and greater equality. We wrote that with all the advances in science and technology, your generation should live dramatically better lives than ours, and we have a responsibility to do our part to make that happen. Even though headlines often focus on what’s wrong, we still believe these positive trends will win out. We’re optimists about your generation and the future.

But rather than write about growing up, we want to talk about childhood. The world can be a serious place. That’s why it’s important to make time to go outside and play.

You will be busy when you’re older, so I hope you take time to smell all the flowers and put all the leaves you want in your bucket now. I hope you read your favorite Dr. Seuss books so many times you start inventing your own stories about the Vipper of Vipp. I hope you ride the carousel with Max until you’ve tamed every color horse. I hope you run as many laps around our living room and yard as you want. And then I hope you take a lot of naps. I hope you’re a great sleeper. And I hope even in your dreams you can feel how much we love you.

Childhood is magical. You only get to be a child once, so don’t spend it worrying too much about the future. You’ve got us for that, and we’ll do everything we possibly can to make sure the world is a better place for you and all children in your generation.

August, we love you so much and we’re so excited to go on this adventure with you. We wish you a life of joy, love and the same hope you give us.

Love,

Mom and Dad

Education / ASUU Embarks On Indefinite Strike Today by VeraNathaniel(f): 9:25am On Aug 14, 2017
14TH AUGUST 2017

The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, has resolved to embark on an indefinite strike action, after an extensive deliberation that lasted three days.

The lecturers union held its meeting at the University of Abuja from Friday and has directed all her members against going to teach or involving themselves in any academic activity.

A statement signed by ASUU President, Biodun Ogunyemi, said all means of negotiation had been exploited before the decision on an indefinite strike action was reached.

Sports / Usain Bolt Collapses In Final Relay Race by VeraNathaniel(f): 8:27am On Aug 13, 2017
Usain Bolt was ramping into warp speed when suddenly, stunningly, the sprint turned into a somersault.

Fifteen steps into the final homestretch of his final race, something gave in Bolt’s left hamstring. The World’s Fastest Man skittered to a stop, hopping, skipping, jumping and finally dropping to the ground and tumbling forward before coming to a rest.


While the winning team from Britain crossed the finish line, Bolt was writhing on the track, where he wound up chest down with his face pressed into Lane 5. He was certainly every bit as stunned as any of the 60,000-plus who packed the stadium Saturday or the millions watching one of the world’s most entertaining showmen make his final curtain call in the 4×100-meter relay at world championships.


There was no celebration — no gold, no silver, not even a consolation bronze, which Bolt received a week earlier in his final 100-meter race.

Jamaica closed the night with “DNF” by its name: Did Not Finish. Bolt was helped into a wheelchair but eventually got to his feet and, assisted by his teammates, limped gingerly across the finish line.

He gave a few waves to the crowd, then left for the trainer’s room and, with that, presumably left track and field forever.

Family / RCCG Bans Aso Ebi, Ungodly Wedding Engagement by VeraNathaniel(f): 7:56am On Aug 13, 2017
The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has banned popular wedding uniform wears, popularly known as Aso ebi.

Wife of the General Overseer of the church and Mother-in-Isreal, Pastor Folu Adeboye made these known on Saturday at the women’s meeting, which was a part of the activities of the 65th annual convention of the church themed “Halleluyah”.

According to the Nigerian Tribune, she stated at the meeting that compelling members of the church to participate in Aso ebi during special programmes in local assemblies was ungodly.

The news that some members of the church without financial power to buy such uniforms, were excluded from the programmes for which the uniforms were sown, was seriously repudiated by the church leadership.

She noted that Aso ebi which should ordinarily be for the family, must not be elevated to the point of making it to overshadow the spiritual life of the congregants.

She warned that such un-Christianly act of keeping church members out of programmes because of Aso ebi, must never be heard again among the women in the church, adding that those caught would be severely sanctioned.

He stated that the concept of appearing in compulsory uniformed attire for an occasion started with the world and should not be allowed to take a firm space in the church.

She also frowned on the idea of what is seen as petty lies during Christian wedding engagement, where those conducting such events would have to engage in lies to make money from the attendees.

Pastor Adeboye explained that with God, there is no white or black lie, small or big lie, stating that when attendees are asked to bring air fare to fly in, an item already provided for at the event venue, those involved are simply engaging in ungodly act which is a sin.

She called for moderation among Christian women, saying that their focus should be bringing halleluyah and spirituality into their homes and not engaging in the ungodly acts of the unbelievers.

Religion / Word For Today: Keep Going — Don’t Stop! by VeraNathaniel(f): 7:34am On Aug 13, 2017
Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

In the Greek olympic games of old, a unique race was run. The winner was not the runner who finished first — it was the runner who finished with his torch still lit!

There are times in our lives when we feel like we just can’t continue in the race. These are precisely the times when the enemy loves to assault us to the point of breaking and torment us saying “You’ll never make it to the finish line, you may as well just quit now”.

This is the time we need to cling on to God’s promises! The Lord will soon reward our diligence for all our toiling here in this world.

Paul said, “Let us not grow weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if we do not faint”.

Let’s allow God’s wonderful promises to strengthen and comfort us in each circumstance so that we can run the race — not to finish first, but to run together, side by side — the flame of our torch reaching the finish line blazing brightly with fire for Him!

Crime / SAD! Missing Man Found Dead In Inoperable Elevator by VeraNathaniel(f): 9:06am On Aug 12, 2017
An 82-year-old Denver man who had been missing for a month was found dead in an inoperable elevator at his apartment complex — after the emergency button had been pushed twice.

Isaak Komisarchik’s body was discovered last week in his parking garage after residents reported a horrible smell.

“I’ve never seen anything like this in my career as a Denver firefighter,” Cpt. Greg Pixley told 9 News in a story published Thursday.

The area where his body was found was roped off, and there were visible signs as well. Relatives told the station that Komisarchik, who had mental health issues related to his age, likely ignored the signs.

Komisarchik was last seen on July 5, according to the station. The emergency alarm in the elevator was pressed the following day, and the fire department is looking into why a dispatcher was not contacted when the button was pushed.

“It is a tragedy, but things like this don’t happen often,” Pixley told 9 News.

“If we were to find anything out that we can improve our methods or our means to provide a better service to the citizens of Denver, we will do that.”

Family members recalled how Komisarchik vanished just days after they last saw him.

“He actually walked to the mailbox to pick up the mail and to the office to get some things from there and then he just disappeared,” daughter Yelena told 9 News last month.

“He couldn’t take long walks. He physically couldn’t do that. He could’ve gotten disoriented at times.”

The cause of Komisarchik’s death has not yet been determined, as officials said it’s difficult to determine when a body is badly decomposed.

Romance / STRAIGHT TALK: The Modern Rules Of Cheating by VeraNathaniel(f): 5:42pm On Aug 07, 2017
Naturally, humans are insatiable, we tend to desire more even when we have the best. Ours is never good enough except your neighbours. Little wonder there are more broken homes these days due to cheating either by the man or the woman despite the increase in relationship counsellors.

Cheating is not is particular to a certain gender anymore. Research has proven that the female gender tends to cheat more than the male counterpart. It can be compared to the proverbial saying if you can’t beat them you join them.

The funny thing is that those that are cheating are the ones always on the tail of their partner just because they themselves are not clean.

They prefer their partner being reserved while they perform all sorts of acrobatics in bed with someone else’s partner and will then come back home like a saint.

They know all the moves as they are deep in the act, yet, they don’t want their partner to be savoured by someone else.

If you can’t stand infidelity why not leave people’s partner alone?

I know no matter how hard we preach some people will never listen as cheating is innate to them.

Even when they are not looked for they themselves will turn on the Searchlight as they are never satisfied with anything and neither can they endure with the little they have, they want everything in their partner forgetting there is nothing like a perfect Mr or Mrs.

You can’t eat your cake and still have it back.

Be loyal to your partner! It’s an agreement you signed – for better for worse. Don’t enjoy the ‘better‘ and make your spouse feel the pains of the ‘worst’.

Sports / Chelsea Owner Roman Abramovich Splits From Third Wife Dasha Zhukova by VeraNathaniel(f): 4:08pm On Aug 07, 2017
Chelsea Owner Roman Abramovich And His Wife Separate

BILLIONAIRE Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has split from his wife Dasha Zhukova.

The private pair, who have two children together, Aaron and Leah, reportedly met in 2005 and secretly married in 2008.

Abramovich, who is worth a reported £6.9billion, is set for another costly divorce following his split with ex-wife Irina Vyacheslavovna Malandina, who received a settlement of around £150million in 2007.

In a statement, Abramovich, 50, and Ms Zhukova, 36, told Page Six:

“After 10 years together, the two of us have made the difficult decision to separate.

“But we remain close friends, parents and partners in the projects we developed together.

“We are committed to jointly raising our two children.

“We will also continue to work together as co-founders of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and the New Holland Island cultural centre in Saint Petersburg.”

A Kenyan pastor, Terry Gobanga has described her horrific tale of how she was failed to show up at her wedding because she was gang-raped, stabbed and left for dead, in Nairobi Kenya. She was attacked for 6 hours.

In an exclusive interview with BBC, she recalled the story back to the night before the wedding, the bride-to-be realised she had some of the clothes, her fiance – Harry was supposed to wear for the wedding. In the early hours of the next morning, her friend took them to him, and Ms Gobanga walked her to the bus stop.

But as she was making her way back home, she was “suddenly grabbed from behind” by men who proceeded to “dump” her in the back seat, she said.

“There were two more men inside, and they drove off. It all happened in a fraction of a second. A piece of cloth was stuffed in my mouth. I was kicking and hitting out and trying to scream,” she said.
“When I managed to push the gag out, I screamed: ‘It’s my wedding day!’ That was when I got the first blow. One of the men told me to ‘co-operate or you will die’.”

Gobanga recalled how the men took turns to rape her. “I felt sure I was going to die, but I was still fighting for my life, so when one of the men took the gag out of my mouth I bit his manhood,” she said.

“He screamed in pain and one of them stabbed me in the stomach. Then they opened the door and threw me out of the moving car.”

Ms Gobanga said that by the time police arrived, they thought she was dead. She was taken to the hospital and was able to communicate the fact she was a bride-to-be to the matron.

By coincidence, the first church the hospital called was the right one, she said. Her parents had been panicking after she failed to turn up at the church, and rumours “flew” that she might have simply changed her mind about the wedding.

When they heard where she was, her parents came to the hospital with the “whole entourage”, and Harry was carrying her wedding gown.

“That was where the doctors stitched me up and gave me some devastating news: ‘The stab wound went deep into your womb, so you won’t be able to carry any children’,” she said.

While she and her fiance got married seven months after the brutal attack, tragedy struck again when he died less than a month later due to carbon dioxide inhalation.

Several years later, however, Ms Gobanga has re-married, and despite being told she wouldn’t be able to have children, she has given birth to two daughters.

Summing up her traumatic experience and her attitude to adversity, she told the BBC: “I have forgiven my attackers. It wasn’t easy but I realised I was getting a raw deal by being upset with people who probably don’t care.

“The most important thing is to mourn. Go through every step of it. Get upset until you are willing to do something about your situation.

“You have to keep moving, crawl if you have to. But move towards your destiny because it’s waiting, and you have to go and get it.
