Thank you Jesus. This year has finally come to an end- the best is yet to come.

new maonza: This is what happens to SELF ACCALIAMED MESSIAHS, early death! ! Instead of really helping the poor, u want to be revered & worshiped & be counted as one of the most important people in the community, but hey jealous & "Obiakpó" people abounds, they also want reverence & worship directed @ them also. . . Let the whole world know dat NIGERIA is safe, problem only arises when u come back home and start parading ur-self as God-sent, , then u r @ the mercy of "NDI-OBIAKPO"

Hmm seriously? Did you actually sit down and type this?- You should be on the watch list also. God help us all

With shoes- is there a difference ?

lordgbengs: We keep forgetting that we are all a subject of His mercy. Nigerians are too theological that's why our lives is full of deceit and lies..

They keep saying God will provide her own man for her she should move on, show me men that God has provided that we still have Single Old ladies everywhere looking for Mr right.

My question for your cousin is does she want to be right or successful?


In the game of life it is the result that matters.....how you get is left to you and your creator.

Tell your cousin, 10 years from now she will be 44 years, will she be happy to look back and not regret assuming she left this guy and does not find another guy to marry.

From my observation and experiences, this kind of things happen to fanatics and religious peeps...holier thou

My dear you are what you believe. Prov 23:7

Thank you Jesus

homosapien: As am typing this, i have an aunty who is in her early 40s blcos of these issues of get pregnant b4 marriage. The supposed husband to be said dat the first woman he got married to could not bear him a child b4 she died. However my aunty refuse using the church the way some people on this forum has been using it as a point of reference dat she doesnt want to commit fornication. But her younger sis who accepted the same condition 4rm her own spouse is happily married with two kids. My advise tell ur cousin to do wat she tinks is the best 4 her. It is well

There are issues you compromise with and there are some that are absolute no go areas. Telling a sister to have sex and get pregnant outside wedlock is a sin - no matter the circumstance or how bad we try to paint it. Every sin we commit has its consequences. A test of your faith in God is not how well you stand when the going is good but how well you stand when life hits you. I responded particularly to your post because of your inference on your cousins younger sister- my dear be careful with this train of thought. Have you not heard of two people going to steal and one gets killed while the other walks? The grass may look greener on the other side - it is until you get there that you see it was only a facade. Never make a decision based on Mrs A did it and it worked for her. Ori ya to si ori. Prov 14:12

It's quiet unfortunate that the subject is at this vulnerable and desperate stage- that's why it's important to make hay while the sun shines. But God has a track record- he never fails and his timing is perfect. My advice to her is not to compromise . She has been very patient she should continue to persevere and not loose hope if she really wants this - she would get it. God would not withhold anything good from his children.

On the flip side , why on earth will a true Christian brother who has the fear of God in him tell me to get pregnant before marriage? Some conversations just don't come up. If I hear that I would assume its a joke and laugh. When I realize he is serious that's a confirmed weeder. The christian life might seem a little boring but it's actually a lot easier when you follow the rules. You avoid such arrant nonsense .

kerzakov: i believe this is so becos the yoruba men are seeing the wonderful features in an igbo woman which they can't see in their own women. do you know that 95% of divorced cases in nigeria today are westerners? the igbo woman who is more tolerant will want to uphold her marriage no matter what. secondly, the yoruba man knows the igbo woman has no competitor when it comes to cooking. he can tolerate the food served by his mother but wouldn't dare tolerate the rubbish a yoruba lady will cook. and thirdly, the igbo woman in a marriage is less of a flirt. we know how a yoruba lady can on a regular basis be getting serviced by her neighbour.

Lol at your comment had to share this with my beautiful Igbo sister. I don't necessarily like this tribal generalizations but if I was to spit out my opinion - I disagree with the above statement. If you came on the premise that the Igbo sisters are lighter and pretty I would some worth agree because I see my Yoruba sisters using them' creams to be like them. But asper tolerant and cooking- abeg forget that one o. A Yoruba chic knows how to do Yoruba' with her husband and especially her in laws while the Igbo chics I know wouldn't even bother to appease them. One of my guy friends who recently got married to my beautiful Igbo sister had to have me talk to her on how to relate with his people. The Igbo chics I know love to be pampered while Yoruba chics wouldn't wait to be pampered- they have the do it myself mentality. So best believe if the man is out of a job she's ten steps ahead on how to support the family before he gets back on his feet. About the cooking- I'm yet to see an Igbo woman who has wowed me- honest opinion.

The Igbo chics I feel would nag less- but I think' are more confrontational. I also think' Igbo chics would make good housewives - working/ hustling is not just their thing. Less drama more fun with an Igbo girl. You probably would tour the world and do more fun stuff- but the tabs on you. I see an Igbo chic as a passenger and a Yoruba chic as a co pilot. So to each one his own.

I understand the Yoruba guys going for the Igbo girls but I just can't understand why the Igbo girls go through with it. Mainly because the Igbo guys pamper their girls more than Yoruba guys. Yoruba guys show tough love and most Yoruba guys at least the ones I know wouldn't do the shopping spree shinanigan' they are a very calculative specie while the Igbo guys wouldn't care after all the containers' are still on their way. This could mean true love still exists abi ? Bare in mind this is my own observation based on the people I have encountered. I love both tribes and I appreciate the beauty therein.

tny60: haha it's the symptom of "baby daddy" "baby mama" epidemic waiting to happen.
because how many of these men will follow through to marry the unfortunate pregnant ladies.

Hmm I can imagine- Iranu o bosi

Temple run !!!

Upset and betrayed. Certainly not beyond redemption " by His grace" if it's a one time incidence but if it becomes a way of life- hmm I'm out. Operation face my kids squarely!!!

Thank you Jesus- my firm foundation :-)

Lol- lo ba tan- a ma wa daran Lori oro marriage yi o. These stories crack me up - the world is changing pregnancy ko nancy preg ni

Thank you Jesus

11 years... Jeez. That's all I saw 11 11 11

Psalm 91

1 He who dwells in athe shelter of the Most High
will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 For he will deliver me from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover me with his pinions,
and under his wings I will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 I will not fear the terror of the night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
7 A thousand may fall at my side,
ten thousand at my right hand,
but it will not come near me.
8 I will only look with my eyes
and see the recompense of the wicked.
9 Because I have made the Lord my dwelling place
the Most High, who is my refuge
10 no evil shall be allowed to befall me,
no plague come near my tent.
11 for he will command his angels concerning me
to guard me in all my ways.
12 On their hands they will bear me up,
lest I strike my foot against a stone.
13 I will tread on the lion and the wadder;
the young lion and the serpent i will trample underfoot.
14 “Because I holds fast to him in love, he will deliver me;
He will protect me, because I know his name.
15 When I call to me, He will answer me;
He will be with me in trouble;
He will rescue me and honor me.
16 With long life he will satisfy me
and show me his salvation.”


Thank you Jesus for the miracle of yesterday and for keeping their lives. To you be all the glory.

A lot of the love that exists out there are based on conditions only a few are unconditional. Unconditional love does exist - I have experienced it- in fact when I love I love unconditionally. Let me add this the love that I express is not only to my "guy friend" but also to my girls and of course family. I have friends but I love a few- I chose to love them and it doesn't matter what they do the love would remain. Love is a gift that God desires us to have but only a few would love selflessly.

Word! Nice write up. I smile when I read comments like "being yourself" - no one is telling you not to be yourself .Op is just giving tips on how to create a good impression that would hopefully grow into something . Truth be told - there are times and situations that you just cannot be yourself or you would be booted off. Take for example- your an expressive person and you speak your mind or better still you are lousy and just cannot keep still- I wouldn't expect you would "be yourself" if your meeting his or her folks,or your Boss. In my opinion that being yourself thing is a silly excuse for misbehaving at times.

Thank you Jesus

Odunnu: *in complete submission to thy majesty*

Yea it was an incomplete submission my focus was on the first verse and the bolded. Nice catch

Dad,Dad and Dad...

Here I am, humbled by your majesty,
Covered by your grace so free.
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man,
Covered by the blood of the lamb.

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrifice.

Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands

Here I stand humbled by the love that You give,
Forgiven so that I can forgive.
So here I stand,
Knowing that I am Your design,
Sanctified by glory and fire.
And now I've found the greatest love of all is mine,
Since You laid down Your life,
The greatest sacrife.

Majesty
Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed but alive in Your hands
Majesty
Majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your Majesty

The first one is certainly not it. The second is just a little better. Answering your question - non reflects true love

Mummymi and mamamia :-)

Thank you Jesus

Thank you Jesus

Seven down zero to go. Play mood activated :-). Thank you Lord for seeing me through the whole of last week and for giving me the strength to overcome.

I'm also thankful to God for another year :-) This year has been very brutal and one of my most challenging but you remained faithful. Even when I murmured you enveloped me in your love and mercy. Your praise o God would continually be in my mouth.

I'm thankful for the blood of Jesus
I'm thankful for the blood of Jesus
