Donkogbe: Something happened in my church yesterday and its so strange to me.
Yesterday was the youth anniversary so the youth president has been soliciting for funds and yes people complied and myself also. it was time for thanksgiving and all youth danced to the altar then the pastor openly reject the money contributed by the youth to the amount of 50k in the sense that its too small and also making reference to 2years ago when the youth as at that time bought the church drum set to the amount of 250k. he rejected the money and prayed for us.
This is has been disturbing my mind since yesterday and i am just wondering how a pastor will openly reject amount contributed by people.
note this is not mandatory donations and a man of God reject 50k in this economy of Tinubu? i am just having a mix feelings and its disturbing. what your view on this
OBTOREPA: Maybe you hot your wife and what you are seeing is the resultant guilty consequences. OR Your wife is really planning something dangerous,be careful .
Your guardian spirit dey talk, you dey play.......you better carry the children and run for your life
ican2020: Political offices holders should stop inflating contracts sums so that they can use the money saved to finance education and give real free education both in primary and secondary schools to Nigerians because these young ones are the future of the country
The Senate should first legislate, enforce and fund free education to Secondary School level.
You can only think otherwise if you do not have a mind of your own.
The poor healthcare structure of the country is the remote cause of his untimely demise.
Don't blame the health structure rather ask why a singer with all the good money, friends and family at his disposal choose to invite a neighborhood nurse rather than go to a private hospital for good medicare.
fergie001: Yesterday, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar had also demanded some explanation from the Presidential Election Petitions Court, surrounding the header on the Certified True Copies of the Judgement.
pol23: I remember my exercise book in primary school then. Onward is like the standard, it doesn’t have any front image. Others always have either Rashidi Yekini. Okparaji Orisabunmi - she was a Yoruba golden actress in early 90’s when the total of actress no reach 20. Rashidi Yekini popular celebration where he was shaking the goalpost net was every television station advertisement for news or sport section for close to a decade. He was our heroe. When I read of how he died in abject poverty in ibadan makes me want to cry for him…. I won’t say Nigeria failed him, because Nigeria gave him the platform and he went ahead to become a super star and made lots of money. But I think education or proper planning kill him… Still legend in my eyes. We appreciate your service. Respect.
Yekini or better still YEKING did not die in poverty.

Hardtotrust: I am very very angry right now. I couldn't sleep last night. That is why I'm bringing this here this morning before I do something very bad. A father should be after the growth of his son and not after ruining him.
Please you guys should help me look into this matter. I understand that it was a matter of life and important concern.
I'm seriously struggling in the city to eck a living for myself and do the little I can for my family also. My father was a petty trader who hardly can provide adequate for the family. Some of us who come from a very poor background would understand this better. I mean coming from where absolutely nothing is kept for you. No support from the family and nothing, nothing and nothing. You are the one who die and same you would have to pour yourself water to come back to life. You, you and only you.
I buy fast consuming products and supply to people and make some gains from there. Sometimes I hawk the products. I was able to save up to N150k. Around May this year, I went to the village and bought some rubbers of palm oil and store them to sell around November/December and make gains.
Last week, I got a call that wind pulled off our house roof in the village. Since they are using small torchlight phone, I didn't get to see how serious the situation was. Even though I didn't have money, I sent N15k to help fix it. My father later called me and complained bitterly on why I sent just 15k, that according to the carpenter, that materials and workmanship would cost N65k. In my mind, I was just like, does this man even know how I survive here in the city?
For two nights, they didnt sleep in the house as the wind pulled off the rooof.
On Tuesday, I learnt my younger brother was being operated of Hernia. I know about the hernia but was under plan to raise money for it. And I knew there was no money to settle medical bills for operation. So I was shocked where they got the money to do operation.
As I traveled down yesterday to see them, dear Nairaland friends, all my rubbers of palm oil has been sold and the money spent on fixing the roof and paying for the medical bills for the hernia operation without my notice.
I am not taking this kindly with my father who engineered the whole thing and I want to arrest him to refund my money.
That is my life investment and it took me so much to raise the amount. Due to how things are now. I even wanted to sell two rubbers to invest back as the business is facing challenges now.
What should I do here to recover my money back? If I have another money, I would over look it but that is my life investment of my labour.
Take heart brother!!!
God will definitely bless your hustle. Be grateful that GOD used you as the provider.
The heavens knew what would happen in the future (your parents' roof will be blown off and your brother will need surgery) that's why you invested ahead of time.
Time will come and your harvest will surely come, perhaps your sibling may be your saving grace in the future
I wonder what you would have done with all the money while you watched your parents living under open heavens and your brother lost his life due to inability to pay medical bills.
