Nairalanders it's late early morning and let's talk romance.
The questions for tonight is how can one get over an ex?
How long does one need to wait in order to heal up before moving into another relationship?
How did you get over your ex without turning enemies?

No contribution is a waste. It may help someone out there.

Don't call them.
Don't try to follow their life on social media
Don't spend too much time alone. When you do, make sure you are doing something that occupies your mind.
Eat bananas everyday. Seriously, the real one, not the one Davido wants to fall on you. It is very good for you if you feel depressed. If you do these things in a few months
You shall be alright.

Great Ethiopian run has double participants than Lagos city Marathon. . .which is 40,000.

This biggest African run takes place in Addis Ababa and it's an event with so much fun. If you have a chance to come to Ethiopia soon, let me help you how to register



https://www.ethiopianrun.org/index.php/international-10k/registration


Buy green t-shirt if you run fast, yellow t-shirt if you run well and red if you are slow

Because when it's pictured from top, the Ethiopian flag colours will be seen correctly


Enjoy!

I am going to buy black and white shirts and share it round just to ruin the view from the top. Lol

ADMISSION IS GOING ON FOR 2017/2018 ACADEMIC SESSION

STUDY IN THE PHILIPPINES WITH LOW TUITIONFEES NO JAMB, NO UTME.Seriously,why kill yourself over jamb while your mates got this information and are now studying in universities with international recognitions.Lots of countries in the world will invite you to study abroad which will be quite expensive and in most cases you've ignored,but have you ever considered the Philippines? Do you know atleast 1 out of 10 doctors in the US studied in the Philippines? Do you know south Korea sends not less than a thousand students every month to study in Philippines?Aside from the international standard of teaching,the tuition fees in the Philippines is one of the cheapest you can find around the world. Most students in Philippines pay less than$400(#125,000)per session,which means with$1600(#500,000)you can complete a 4 years degree course. Instalmental payment is allowed for tuition. The amazing part of this is you don't need to hustle for admission all you need is your secondary school statement of result(WAEC).With your WAEC result or neco resultyou can gain admission to any school and course of your choice dafta@yahooweb.co

Yours and the guy that posted on the Lutheran revolution are the best posts so far.

Appreciate it.

How to get my countrymen to reason in blocks of logic evades me yet I feel it's a task that must be done.

Thanks, are you referring to this comment or my thread below?

Juliet Ibrahim is too fine,her beauty is out of this world. See her big beautiful eyes,slender and oblong nose and little round mouth and slightly turned up lips,that is the feature that makes her far more beautiful than wide mouthed Beyonce

How you take skip the yansh. She is like a white girl with yansh. Very rare.

Rokia2:
She's so obsessed with this dude. Let her just be careful.

The be careful time don pass. She has already crossed that bridge. We can only hope for the best now.

See how everybody there in the picture is BLack and fine. Among southern Nigerian women dark skin women are reducing by the day. Shame on Nigerian girls with low self-esteem. You people think you are doing me. You are doing yourselves.

Happy married life. I am very happy for you two.

But I still dey find my own

HiddenShadow:
As a Christian, have you consulted God concerning his view about this topic.? Yes or No.



It is a sin to conclude a matter outside the knowledge of God.

A Christian must first consult God before taking sides.

Yes, I have consulted God and he said "by their fruit ye shall know them".
They bear the same fruits as corrupt politicians and yahoo boys. This matter was not concluded outside God's knowledge.

HiddenShadow:
@ Worldpeace.


The question everyone should ask themselves is,

Did they consult God before acquiring a private jet.?

If God gave them a go ahead, then seal your mouth and if they never consulted God, they should do so now that pressure is mounting up.


Finally, have you yourself consulted God before supporting or opposing.?

Thanks.

Nigerian G.Os must be consulting a different God from other church leaders in the world. The archbishop of Canterbury, pope and patriach of the Russian Orthodox church don't have God to consult.
This is the age of the internet. All conmen shall be exposed.

The world is obsessed with ranking things. I must confess I am guilty of it too. All over the internet, there are all kinds of rankings called top this and top that. You’ll see Top 20 most beautiful musicians, top 20 richest athletes, Top 1000 Universities by webometrics and so on. What I find perplexing, however, is that Nigerians hardly top any of these lists except that of the richest pastors. Our musicians are not there among the world’s richest. Neither are our Sportsmen and women, actors and Entrepreneurs. On the world's 20 richest pastors list we have at least five Nigerians.
I find this fact difficult to process. Why does a nation as poor as ours have the world's richest pastors? Does Nigeria have more Christians than other nations? The answer is NO, we don't. Below are countries with the highest Christian population from the most populous to the least populous.
1. USA 247.78 million
2. Russia195.77 million
3 Brazil 178.70 million
4. Mexico 107.80 million
5.Philippines 90.53 million
6. Nigeria 80.28 million
7. Congo 68.56 million
8.China 67.10 million
9.Ethiopia 55.01 million
10. Italy 54.15 million

Five of the countries on this list have more Christians than Nigeria. And their citizens are averagely richer too. According to available statistics the average churchgoers in these countries make more money than their Nigerian counterparts, yet their pastors are still not as wealthy as ours. Perhaps God has a soft spot for Nigerian Christians? Well, if he does, why then is he not also showering his blessings on church goers? When God blessed Solomon materially did he not also extend it to the whole of Israel?

The explanation to this is quite simple. Perhaps it is lurking somewhere in your subconscious because you are afraid to think it out to yourself. Let me put it out there in black and white. OUR PASTORS ARE CORRUPT CRIMINALS! You probably suspected I was going to say this. And yes, I have. We are a corrupt society. We have corrupt politicians, corrupt judges, corrupt police force, corrupt army, corrupt university lecturers; and your precious General Overseer, Pastor, Apostle or whatever appellation he prefers is not exempt. You find it easy to accept that the others mentioned are corrupt but not your pastor who is dominating the world's top 20 with his compatriots? You don't believe he is corrupt even when he shows up on Panama papers having discrete investments worth millions of dollars? Do you feel the same way about the politicians who were also in that leaked document? Just remember that both your pastors and politicians minister to the people, and while the politicians manage taxes the pastors manage tithe. While the people remain in abject poverty, these religious and political ministers own private jets. And both of these two groups have individuals who own investments in discrete tax havens. Only a mind imprisoned by the commitment to protect any of these groups would not draw the conclusion that they are criminals. With the help of God’s word and your money, a private jet in the sky is just a stepping stone.

Why is your pastor scamming you? I will answer that like the Nigerian I am- they say we love to answer questions with questions. Why do policemen take a bribe? Why are your politicians stealing tax payer’s money? Why are there thousands of young Nigerians on the internet scamming people? The answer is BECAUSE THEY CAN. Why did people sell their fellow humans in the trans-Atlantic slave trade? Why did kings sell their subjects for a bottle of dry gin while the subjects still believed that their kings had a mandate from the gods? Why did our colonial masters colonize other countries and used their resources to develop theirs? It is because they could. The answer is that simple. Your pastors are good at what they do and it is rewarding.

People tend to make careers out of anything they are good at if they think there are no repercussions. Did you say there are repercussions from God? That exactly is the problem, the loophole exploited by “Men of God”. Churchgoers assume that their pastors actually believe all the things they preach from the pulpit. They underestimate the power that mastery of anything has on an individual. Whatever we do well and are rewarded and appreciated for we keep doing. We humans have a need for integrity, honesty and sound morals, but we also love to do what we are good at even if for some of us that means exploiting others.

For your greedy pastor, just like our slave trading pre-colonial rulers, it is even easier because they are respected for it. You made it easy for the heavenly man of God to take your earthly money because whenever that voice that tells you to scrutinize the way of life of this man comes into your mind you quickly stop yourself with your favourite scripture: "do not judge". Pastors have quoted it a countless number of times and your Christian brothers repeated it so much that you have it playing in a loop in your head. Do not be trapped by a technique that has been used for ages to stop people from thinking. He is misapplying the bible verse. If the same bible says "by their fruit ye shall know them" it means you can use the sense that God gave you to judge if your pastor is just a fraudster who is good with the scriptures. What you cannot do is judge who is going to perish because that right belongs to God exclusively. Do not let Charlatans enrich themselves at your own expense. Do not let anyone make you work for a heavenly reward while he is an earthly billionaire. What is he doing with all that money if heaven is the ultimate goal anyway?

If a Poor man starts an NGO funded by donations from people and he becomes a billionaire in a decade or two, won't you as a donor be interested in how he became a billionaire? Would you not want to know how the money you have been donating is being spent? Why then do you always handle religious leaders with kid gloves? Do you know that churches are like NGOs and a pastor can go to jail for embezzling church funds? Why are his European counterparts not living in the same opulence? It is not because they are holier but because their church members won't appreciate it. Why then are you such easy game?

Nigerian pastors are wealthy and there is nothing mysterious or divine about it. It has to do with the kind of brands they have created. They insist on the payment of tithe. "Pay your tithe or things will be tight for you". Poor attempt at a play on words, but you believe it. Many of you skip church when you have no offering money. Don't deny it, you do. Everyday prosperity, prosperity, prosperity. He shows off with your own money and instead of being put off, you part with more of your money. Afterall, if God has blessed the man of God for being faithful he will reward your faithfulness too. God did not bless him. You did.

We Nigerians are numb to corruption, so when we see it, we are not affected by it, especially when we see it in the man of God. The bible says that God is not partial and that God cannot lie. I believe it. So God does not love Nigerian pastors more. Statisticians say numbers don't lie. I also believe this. The kind of money our pastors have and the financial situation of churchgoers don't add up. God cannot love Nigerian pastors more than he loves other pastors in the world. Your pastor's success is all a result of your love for him, not God's.
So, continue to praise the Lord and pass the collection plate! Pastor needs a new pair of everything!

Being a Pastor is not taking a job at something you are good at.... it's a calling.. if you think it's a job go and try it.. you will soon give up

I once tried weight lifting too and I gave up.

Azibalua:
People talk about issues they have no idea about.

Assumption is zero knowledge
How do u know a Pastor uses church funds to enrich himself aside from hear-say.. where are your facts. .

I know pastors who don't even *have* the comfort you think they have because every income that comes to them from their work is given out for one cause or the other.
They have become selfless to the core.
Get your facts right

The arch Bishop of Canterbury who heads a great part of the Anglican church is not the richest. The Pope who presides over the Catholic church all over the world is not the richest(even though there are more Catholics in the world than all Muslims put together). The head of the Russian Orthodox church is not on the world richest list but your G.O who is the head of a church that's not up to 40 years old in one of the poorest nations in the world is. I think you are afraid to make the obvious conclusion.
That pastor that you talk about who has nothing works for the G.O like you. He too has been scammed just like you.

asuustrike2009:
There's no revolution anywhere instead Satan is using men within the body of Christ to lure them to hell. He's very crafty in his thinking and comes up with philosophy that will be sweet to hear. Such philosophy is drawn from the weakness in the body of Christ to lure men to hell. The fulfillment of this is found in 2 Timothy 4:3
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;. This is what is going on now because in the last days

You are either one of those who are benefiting from the defrauding of Nigerian Christians or you are so committed to defending the old ways that you care not whether it is right or wrong. Whatever it is, the time for change is here. Better get on board.

Toybreezy:
I'm rather curious to know why you left. If you don't mind.

If you study every religion well you'll know it is all based on lies. Witnesses keep changing their teachings and call it enlightenment but it is manipulation. Prophesies are always being reexplained before or after they fail. Books that said things that were proven wrong eventually go out of print. They call it progress but it is fraud. If you are a witness you may not see it this way. This because you love other things about the organization. But just imagine that all the prophecy interpretation changes came from someone like TB Joshua it would be clear to you that he is playing tricks on you. That is what Jehovah's witnesses have done for over a century. I figured it out eventually. Some people do, Some don't

XXXwhistleblowe:
are you no longer a member?

For over four years I have left.

Seun:
Do people have to dance to the front of your church when they give? If so, then your church is clearly not motivated by privacy concerns.

In the congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses there is no offering time. There are contribution boxes where a person who wants to contribute money to the advancement of the work of the organization can drop his contribution. And that is never done during service. You can walk to drop your money before or after service. No body announces special time to do that. They are careful not to embarrass anyone into donating. Of course, there is no tithing and when anyone donates under no condition is it ever announced. In fact, if that were to happen it would attract punishment. And for the thirty years I was a member, I never saw it happen. Nigerian Pentecostals can't imagine this but this is done in many churches abroad. The commercialism in Pentecostalism is irritating. The people need to realise that they are blind and their pastors love them that way.

menxer:
And what has that got to do with you?

The thread is meant to enlighten but you want to make mockery of it by saying something of point. Since I am here to read the thread it concerns me.

1StopRudeness:
I'm starting not to get you....so if a thief comes to rob u or a rapist breaks into ur house to rape...which is against the constitution...u shouldn't bother to arrest them if u have the opportunity..because u don't want to be ceasar...

Are we talking about a homosexual rape matter here or homosexuality without rape? Is fornication the same thing as rape? I think you are going off point.
But here is your answer, Act as Caeser would have you act if it is not against what God would have you do.

1StopRudeness:
It's the law of the land to chase and arrest them....even the bible wants us to obey authority....
In the US and some advance countries u can't date or have sexual relations with a minor...pple shaa marry minor in Nigeria and there's no issue....oga the law is the law...

It is the law but you as an individual are not the law. A Christian will obey Caesar but he is not Caesar. I think the difference is apparent.

harbjar:
Am i not a Christian but i know that it is stated clearly in the bible tha3God once destroy a whole City because of homosexuality...
Dont come here and preach preach freedom or right trash.. Neither the Bible nor the Quran condones homosexuality or fornication .
What is wrong is wrong. Even animals dont commit homosexuality not to talk of us humans

And the article does not condone homosexuality. It says that it is a sin. In fact, it says homosexuals will not inherit God's kingdom. Whether or not animals Practice homosexuality, which some do, the Bible is clear that it is a sin. You as the Christian however cannot take the law into your hand. Hate what they do and try to help them change. Do not join them but stop chasing them around. That's the whole gist of the article

menxer:
.... But God Jehovah does not have a consort? Is he not gay?

Weak comment. You tried but couldn't think of anything clever to say.
