Efe is good but not as skillful as AJ. He will definitely rise, bit he should not compare himself to AJ.
Science/TechnologyRe: Inside Unhatched Egg Of Dinosaur That Lived In Argentina 80 Million Yrs Ago (Pix by vislabraye(m): 2:14pm On Aug 31, 2020
Golan007:
It is easier for a black man to believe a tribe of people are God's chosen, a woman had a child without intercourse and the product of that birth ended up walking on water, dying and thereafter resurrecting and ascended unto to a place called heaven, than to accept that dinosaurs whose remains we see all the time ever existed.
Of course, I believe in Jesus and that he walked on water and died for us etc. But that doesn't invalidate the existence of dinosaurs

Well because of the prolonged lock down the demand for oil in the US has reduced , this is better than Obama that even refused to buy a single barrel from us just because we didn't approve his gay marriage
I'm even surprised to hear US still busy oil from us. Cos I know years ago, the evil Obama didn't buy oil from us.

It's part of history and it should be said. Just as Nigeria has it's own history whether good or bad. It will pain him as a player cos he probably could have made history.

RomanceRe: I Felt Cheated By My Girl by vislabraye(m): 2:45pm On Aug 22, 2020
davedy:
Good evening Nairalanders

I'm sorry for bringing up to this platform but is of necessity for me to bring it . I've been hearing it from people but I don't know how they do feel about it. I've heard stories about how a lady cheating on her guy and a man cheating, but all these stories I do see them as fantasy or something that is not real. I've heard about a lady killing herself because of her boyfriend and I've heard about a boy taking sniper because of a lady.

Recently, I was in love with a lady in my office and this lady she is 35 years of age, I am 37 years of age and I asked out, we started dating after a period of time, she told me about herself, after all in the place of her work, she has dated about three different persons that she had sex with them. People in the office do gossip about her because of how waryward life. They do call her prositute. With all that, I still love her.

Before I came on board, she told me about her neighbour and all what they've done like touching and kissing was the highest they have done and I said ok.

We started dating and working towards marriage. At a time, we got intimate. I never knew that she was still seen her neighbor. She do go to his room to charge her phone. I never knew that they were having sex and she was having sex with me. she always claim that I'm the only person she is having sex with but I have this kind of feeling that she is cheating on me. I do always argue and challenged her faithfulness and at the end, she will put up a defensive mode accusing me that I didn't trust her.

Some days ago, when i challenged her with evidence of cheating. She confessed to me about how she and her neighbour been having sex and I was heartbroken, that night, I slept in a house I couldn't get it, I never knew that I love her so much, that was a period I knew that I was deeply in love with her. I feel like dying, I feel like everything is over. I love her so much, I want to marry her. Few days ago, I travelled to meet with my parents and discussed my marriage issues with them, I told my girl about it but she didn't blive. With all these, she didn't feel remorseful. I wish I had never met her. I am in pain.. What should I do? I am a confused man now.


Please move to front-page. I will appreciate it. Thanks.
You knew she was wayward, what else do you want to do ? A prostitute or wayward woman can hardly change. Sorry !!
Christianity EtcRe: CAN Rejects CAMA, Says Government Cannot Control Churches by vislabraye(m): 10:46pm On Aug 20, 2020
BabaRamota1980:
The churches brought this upon themselves.

There are many muslim communities just like Zakzaky group in North. They mind their business and never get involved in govt issues. Zakyzaky stays in govt business all the time. Thats why he is in trouble now.

Jonathan set a bad precedence when he will have these pastors meddling govt business. They got too comfortable and started commenting on what govt is doing or not doing. When you are a tax exempt organization, stay away from govt the best you can. Put a long distance between you and govt. Govt has all the rules and ways to fvk up anyone, if they choose to. These churches did same thing Zakyzaky did, started fvkng with govt. So now govt wants to fcvk with them too. Its unfortunate but its reality.

There is a pastor in America called Pastor Dollar or something like that. He used to condemn govt and live large and flaunt. One of their legislators got on his case and wanted to probe him and his church. The Pastor got the message at that point.

If CAMA can bring out same result in Nigerian pastors it will be great. The money they waste on acquiring jets and building for-profit private institutions should be better used in promoting wellbeing and supporting needs of communities and people. At the end of it people benefit when churches come to their aid in time of distress and need.
Nigeria belongs to all of us, whether xtian or Moslem. I don't know what you mean by saying "pastors meddling in Government business"
I agree that there should be accountability but I don't trust this Government. This Government is used to abusing processes.
It's possible for CAMA to wake up one morning and remove the leadership of a church for a flimsy reason.

SportsRe: The Top 10 Heavyweight Boxers In The World Latest Ranking by vislabraye(m): 11:58pm On Aug 05, 2020
Tobimercy:
I once wrote it on this platform that the WBC belt is the most important of all the belts and anyone who holds it is technically the best in the division. Some people were arguing with me. This ranking proves me right. AJ with his three belts is still second best
The ranking is subjective. AJ is not being given the full credit he deserves. He has fought most of top 10 fighters than anyone on that list.
He defeated Dillian WHite who's no. 3
He has defeated Joseph Parker
He has defeated Alexander Povetskin.
He has also defeated Andy Ruiz Jr who defeated him before.

But how many top 10 has Tyson Fury fought ?
How many top 10 has Wilder fought ? Don't even talk about Luiz Ortiz (His inclusion on that list is debatable)
WBC so far is corrupt. Dillian White has been denied the opportunity of fighting Wilder for more than 1,000 days. Thank God Dillian WHite has won the court case against WBC

You really have nothing to bother at all and its not worth affecting your concentrations
You made a grave mistake by giving them money when they never requested for it. You had initially given them a wrong impression from the onset, this is not a bad thing anyways but you can be sure that once u start this kind of gesture, they will capitalise on that and keep coming to you and this is exactly what is happening to you right now
U said their BIOLOGICAL brother who is also abroad has stopped any form of financial dealings with them cos he sees them as unserious, so WHY ARE U PERTURBED?
You are not under any OBLIGATION to keeping giving them money except if there is SOMETHING THEY HAD DONE for u that u are not telling us and you feel its so IMPORTANT such that if u stop giving them money, it will make u look like an INGRATE
Do what u can that wont affect your family financially for them once in a while, u need not respond to all their chats or calls. Its simple!
As I'm reading it, it is painting me. That's the problem with people that are really nice. I used to be nice. I'm still nice, though. But u have learnt that people will take advantage of your kindness.
Just watch out. When you stop, their attitude towards you will change.
It's better you stop now or else, they will drive you to bankruptcy.
Those people are mean and ungrateful. They will never stop.

FamilyRe: Most Fathers Today Are Losing Relevance In The Family by vislabraye(m): 8:39pm On Jul 21, 2020
swiz123:
I don't have a problem if kids don't regard their fathers that much probably because of his busy schedules which their tiny heads can't understand.

My real problem is when an adult still think that his father is irrelevant because he doesn't baby-sit them... like WTF!!.... Shouldn't you have outgrown that stupid mindset?..

Most men who thinks that their father is irrelevant because of your silly reason and therefore goes about asslicking their momma are the reason why most marriages are living hell for modern wives.

Most orphans at motherless homes would give everything to have someone who can provide can feed, shelter, clothe and pay their school fees. That momma's love you so much adore isn't a priority to these unfortunate children...

I don't know how old you are, but please, change your mindset from today onwards

FamilyRe: Most Fathers Today Are Losing Relevance In The Family by vislabraye(m): 8:37pm On Jul 21, 2020
xynerise:
Yes, I said so.

If you are of the school of thought that providing for the family along automatically makes you a caring father, then you are among those that
risk being irrelevant to your children.

If you look at most families today, the children hardly mention their fathers when making a reference to something inspiring. I mean quoting what your father once taught you or something positive you learnt while growing up. I am referring to fathers of our time.

Today, everything is about making money and paying the bills. That is not enough.
How close are you to your children? It is always the mother that attends to issues that trouble the children today. Even though fathers source for solutions at the end but the children will always remember the person that discovered the problems, or at least care to know what the problem is.

How often do we call our kids, sit them down and ask them about the kind of challenges they face in life?

Some fathers hardly call their children (far from home) on phone except the mother does and maybe pass the phone to him. This has made some people to call mostly their mothers on phone and explain situations to her rather than the father who provides the money to solve the situations.

You can see that despite most fathers provide the money, yet the mothers get most of the appreciation.

My point is, we shouldn't be too focus on just making the money. Let us remember we are also making a family too.
You don't know what you have until you lose it. A father provides discipline and stability in the home.
Very few mothers can discipline their children and they will listen. That what the father does.
If you think providing food, shelter, clothes, school fees is not enough, just imagine what your life will be without it.

RomanceRe: I Became Abusive By Chance And My Girl Loves It by vislabraye(m): 7:16pm On Jul 07, 2020
Danielfx:
I was a perfect gentleman but even at that my girlfriend was always careful not to hurt my feelings by saying words that could annoy me..

So, i have never laid hands on a woman before even when i feel insulted, infact i despised it. My ex girlfriend nearly made me a hardened kind of guy but i jumped over...

Straight to the point, my girlfriend left town to visit her cousin which she did not tell me. She just told me about taking her little sister there for holiday and would be back the next day( she was scared i would say no..). On finding out, we resolved everything through phone and when she finally came back to town i took her for a date in a fancy restaurant, from there we went to a luxury hotel. I booked a room just so we could spend the evening without outside intrusion....

We got in and then she settled down and turned on the TV while I glanced through my phone, she started murmuring about how i went to a beauty pageant because of my ex while she was not around, i was so angry that i lost control and slapped her. She feel on the bed and said something about my mum being a bit*h, that made me so angry that i pulled out my belt and flogged her. I reminded her never to travel again without me consenting....

Strangely i realised what i have done but she was already on the bed crying profusely, i was totally ashamed of myself. I opened the door and went to the swimming pool session to calm myself. I spent most of the evening there with my phone and strangly she texted me an apology. I was fucking amazed, i empirically wanted to apologize and break up for her own sake since i was transforming into someone abusive....

I went to the room, she knelt down and apologized. The love became so intended and she became completely loyal...

Today, i ordered a new laptop for her because she complained about her system battery but when she received the laptop, she told me to accept half the payment from her.... The girl is completely different now. Nigeria girls are strange, very strange
Can you now see that you don't have to be too nice to a woman? It's not a Nigerian girl thing. If you don't show some women pepper, they will think you are a mumu.

My mum is like that, a woman of peace, quiet, deep, accomodating ,one of the best hearts you can ever know, but I repeat never hurt her deeply,make she no breakdown for your matter, your case na sorry! Right from when she was young, her mother knew it and warned all her siblings, when we were little,we went to get water from a rich mans compound,and the son released d dogs,chased us out,and broke all our buckets,my mum went peacefully to confront him, when she entered,he threatened to throw her out, with a big plank,he walked her out shamefully, at his gate, she wept and said he won't go Scott free, lo and behold that night he went to a club,had an accident and was paralyzed down, went everywhere for treatment all to no avail, until a church pastor told him he wronged someone, see his rich parents come prostrating with gifts and all to atone to my mum, who even did not know his predicament at all, any girl my dad dates then at the expense of his family,always has challenges and when they inquire, they re all sent to same source! The tale is long with numerous examples, in all,don't hurt or trample on people indiscriminately, you never know who has the ears of the gods! Be wise

Please ma post and hide my ID... Notify me when posted...

I don't know what is happening to me, I don't know if it is a curse or a blessing. I want to know if there's anyone in the group who has similar case or knows anything about it, because I am tired of this...

Okay this is it, any one who hurts me end up meeting terrible fate in a short time. I can count alot of them, it is more than a mere coincidence.

If I cry because of someone, I end up hearing a negative or Terrible news that concern them sooner than later. I remember when a man lied to people in his dialect against me, in my presence o. I didn't understand, when I later found out, I was bittered, I cried that night and went to meet him the next morning, i told him, sir because you lied against me, someone that is old enough to be your daughter, you caused me tears, you will shed double. It didn't reach two months, his two daughters died, I regretted my statement. I have been robbed in my house where I live alone, I cried terribly and cursed those people that they will never know peace, they returned my property by themselves and as I speak to you, they are behind bars. I can only mention but a few, there was also a period my ex slapped me publicly, over something that isn't serious, I cried bitterly and he was too proud to apologise, he had his Visa then, he travelled and he was sent back in less than a month.

This is serious as I speak to you, I don't know if this is natural, I know things happen coincidentally but in my case, it keeps repeating itself... I can't count all of them. When I was a kid I didn't take it serious, it even made me laugh but now It gives me great concern.

Okay the last one that happened now is this, I am dating this guy for a while now, his business was blooming well, I do come around and do some chores for him and sometimes use my money to cook for him but one day, in a middle of an argument, he called me a prostitute in front of his friends which I am not, I didn't know what gave him the motivation. I cried so much, I used sell stuffs on pre order then, and it pained me that I used my sweat to cook for him and he ate it that may all his sweat yield no effort. I said it in private. After a couple of time we reconciled but now, his business has died off... Nothing he is doing seems to work. I can't even tell him anything about it.

This is really more than a coincidence, it has repeated itself time after time. sometimes I tend to forgive people quickly and overlook things because I don't know what might follow if I think it too hard and cry over it...

Please, I want the group to tell me what to do? I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse. I need answer
Please stop crying...
CrimeRe: Exposition On Hushpuppi, Flashy Lifestyle Of A Society Of Nobody Holy Pass by vislabraye(m): 2:37pm On Jul 03, 2020
Nksleek:
EXPOSITION ON HUSHPUPPI, FLASHY LIFESTYLE OF A SOCIETY OF NOBODY HOLY PASS.

Just like all social vices, fraud is addictive and the more you get into it, the more you are captivated to get more until you are caught then you realize how messed up you have ended.
Nobody holy pass because you never can tell how your actions have pushed someone into crime.
When I broke the news of hushpuppi’s arrest to my goons that have every genuine reason in the world to continue in the lavish lifestyle of fraud, to my greatest surprise, none of these folks supported their own or felt any remorse for their nefarious activities, they rather began to cast aspersions on their senior colleague (a one time mentor) who their gist about his achievements forced me to follow him on IG since 2017 in search for contents for my blog. By the way, he was always in the news and once wrote an epic letter to the youths (some parts are referenced before this post).

“Kamani, Hushpuppi too do... I go done stop yahoo if I get even one quarter of wetin Hushpuppi don make from yahoo.” one of them replied.

When I asked how much you don chop so far from street, dude suddenly went mute. Why? Because he was unable to account for the several thousands of dollars he had received, both shared with others and personal. It’s the same scenario of unaccounted accumulation that played out with Hushpuppi because the lavish lifestyle made him to lose count of the several millions he has received and shared. I am pretty sure he’d be shocked when the charges of his exploits are read to him.

THE SYSTEM

There’s never a one man squad in fraud or if there ever is, it will be the petty one called 419 and sooner than later, there must be a recruitment to advance the scam. Often times, there’s a subtle competition among scammers on who don blow pass and puppi’s greatest rival seems to be Mompha.
Hushpuppi today happens to be the bad egg and even the hens that lay and nurture them are also clucking in condemnation but I still maintain that nobody holy pass.

No matter how you try to feign holiness, fraud has so eaten deep into our system that the many business tycoons and politicians that we look up to in town may not necessarily press computers at odd hours to bomb or hack but are the greatest beneficiaries at the forefront to receive greater proceeds in percentage by providing accounts for receiving this stolen funds mostly through money laundering and influence. A few CSOs and NGOs are not left out.

Hushpuppi is not the evil, he is a reflection of the society we live in and because Interpol/FBI understand that for every dancing bird on a footpath, there’s definitely a drummer in the bush, they are doing everything naturally possible to blacklist even the few legit ones among us because they can’t fathom how long it will take us to compromise standard and adopt fraudulent practices. The principles you preach on social media have a watering price tag that even if you wish to decline the offer, someone will pass behind your back to do it on your behalf through impersonation to soil your reputation.
Kindly channel your energy to the system and not the product.

My humble opinion.
Many of us are in this system but we struggle hard to make it. It's just unfortunate that he messed with the wrong people. If to say he dey Naija, dem for don release am.
