Merry Christmas OP and to everyone.

Jesus Christ is the reason for this season. He was born a star,light and saviour in order to bring out the star in every man's life.

When you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour by believing that he was born and he died - surrendered his life and shed his blood to make me/you free from the curse and oppression of our sins and the sins of others - you can now ask God to give you His Spirit - the Holy Spirit who will come and dwell in you connecting your born again spirit to that of God.

A beautiful relationship begins with you and God the Father. You stay in Him and He stays in you as you communicate and become more intimate. Every secret and solutions are yours when you relate freely with God as your Father. He is the King of Peace.

Matthew 11:28-30 NLT
Then Jesus said, "Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.

[29] Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

[30] For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light."

OP, for now, get closer to God and find grace to be patient with God as He will help you to unknot this situation disturbing your mind. You need peace and Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Don't rush anything and don't rush into anything seeking for that peace or what people call closure.

There is a spiritual dimension to life and it is best seen through marriage which is an institution founded by God. Mistakes have been made by your parents - 3 of them which you need the help and wisdom of God to come out of because of your own future home building.

Be patient. Be prayerful. Get closer to God. Avoid bitterness.

It shall be well.

Let me share a true life story about a family I know very well. It happened decades ago.

There was the vibrant youth music minister doing well. He happened to be the elder brother to a friend and classmate of mine then. He got married and for years he was believing God for children to come.

One day, he was in a place to pray and a revelation came that he should go ask his mother some questions as the delay to children coming was tied to a secret only the mother could tell. The primary question was who is his father? He felt surprised at such a revelation because he is the eldest son of his father.

He went to his mother and put this question to her. Initially, she resisted but he became aggressive and the mother opened up that the man he knows as his father is not his biological father. She brought his pregnancy into the marriage and only the mother knew this secret. It was a painful revelation to the family.

The mother gave him details about his biological father and he traced him to his hometown but sadly the man was late. But he reconnected to that family. Of course, he still maintained his relationship with the man who brought him up.

Eventually, his wife conceived and children started coming.

It was clear that the biological father was aware that his girlfriend was carrying a pregnancy from him into the marriage she was going into and he made utterances that came back to trouble the son until he returned to his root.

LIFE IS SPIRITUAL. PRAYER IS KEY TO NAVIGATING THIS SPIRITUAL TERRAIN. GOD BLESS YOU.

I have an interview in March...not my first visit to the States and I've never overstayed. Should I simply send them a letter asking for a refund considering the partial ban or still attend the interview?

Send email to them. Tell us what they tell you.
Nonrefundable visa application fee means you decide to attend. Caveat on issuance means don't put your hope up too much.

It shall be well.

I wish this is actually a strategy to force our leaders to fix Nigeria so that we can be like the rest of the countries listed but I know it's not.

May God bless Nigeria for ever!

Sadly, many of these leaders already have long term Visas of 2 years and above. So, this ban would not affect them.

. Bro, money dey Keke business.

I'm speaking from a 4 years+ experience.

But then again,if na second hand keke bro,my hand no dey.

The second Keke I bought with my own 1.5M earlier this year,I spent over 600k just to put it in order... But unfortunately,it couldn't work out well and I ended up in debts of 150k..... Later sold it out for 750k..... Oya imagine the huge lost I encountered...Na why I wash my hands totally from anything that has to do with Keke......in fact,if anybody come my front come mention Keke,I dey consider such person to be my enemy 😡

So,I wouldn't even advise an enemy of mine to go down that route let alone a brother man.....

My two cents tho ✌️

You're sincere.
Using second hand Keke especially if it is not TVS brand will hardly benefit the user. TVS has good. second hand life unlike others which lose steam after 2 years plus.

These are the leaders of the most impoverished north of Nigeria. Sadly, many many many like him are still using their greed and religion to ensure the region remains barren and a cash cow to them.

It shall be well with Nigeria.

To make the whole matter Worst,she told me the relationship may end along with 2025 if I fail to provide the money for her. Those words have been ringing in my head since she dropped them ,but I'm confused and I don't know if that's enough reason to end a relationship of over 3 years+ which we've suffered to build together,all because of ordinary Christmas hair and clothes angry. Is she normal at all?

What advice do you need after typing this
You dey pull our legs
You have not heard a broken relationship is better than a broken marriage/life

6 pro-Wike Reps members from Rivers defect to APC

The lawmakers in their separate letters to the House Speaker, blamed the unresolved internal crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic for their decision to dump the former ruling party at the State and national level.

What an excuse

They won't publish names because a certain senate president will be implicated. Just imagine this? 6 trillion naira looted from money to develop the Niger Delta by people from Niger Delta.
The black man is evil!

It can't be only people from Niger Delta. Do you know how many people from the North who benefited from the sleaze in Ministry of Niger Delta

President Tinubu is not committed to prosperity of ordinary citizens. He is committed to getting and keeping political power as a tool of creating wealth for himself and his family and friends. This is bad for Nigeria.

Has this not been the norm by the political class and the ruling class since 1914

NOM should get members registered right to the grassroots for this fight because this strangulation of the purchasing power of Nigerians since 2015 has not been funny at all.

STEWpid:
C h a i..






Please, we need more exposè Mr. Aliko and many others who have kept their region in monumental poverty and religious terrorism.

Their children are good to enjoy $5m school fees which is around N7,258,100,000 (over 7.2 billion Naira), excluding other bills.

But they consistently maintain Almajiri system to keep their goats in the region from having ordinary local education - only kouran is available for them to read with small plastic bowl for begging. They're lectured from childhood with serious beatings and maltreatment into becoming full-time terrorists at the end.

The funniest thing is that sharia law is not applicable to him!!

I don't know how difficult it is to have sense.

The new Northern generations should think. The useless kouran and sharia has never done any good to the north. It is always terrorism and banditry, backwardness, out of school, retrogressive development, slavery, and many more.

There could have been scientists, technocrats, successful business developers, etc among those whom they have made wretched psychologically and spiritually, but they're all recruited into terrorism and they're dying without achieving anything meaningful in life. They don't even live a life that actually present to them who they can be!!

Wasted region!!

Shior,,

Oluwa, Ezechinweoke save them,,

The poverty and Almajiri system is structured by the Fulanis to affirm their dominance of the Hausas.

I am yet to see a Fulani Almajiri even in Kano and Katsina...

Sharia law is not for Fulanis but to put the Hausa in check as subjects in their own lands.

my uncle was a spare part dealers in Ghana! His business folded and guess what?
He is back to Nigeria.

Those African countries if you are making it well, just make sure you have a backup plan in Nigeria incase of anything, because those African countries do change policies overnight

Yes, the fact remains that African societies are very unstable...

Many of those wise ones doing anything tangible definitely have businesses in Nigeria.

Ogaonos:
OK o. I wish u goodluck

Thank you oo

Ogaonos:
all these japa. The truth is e Don cast. Let us pray ND build Nigeria. Another thing have notice about Japa information they only tell u about hustling never tell u about the laws of that country the behaviour of the pple esp. Nigerians. Nigerians have bad reputation in some of these countries. Plus the issue of envy. Remember japa to another black man country u have to be careful bcoz black country no dey follow laws like oyinbo

No matter how developed Nigeria becomes hopefully, Japa cannot stop my brother. It's in man's DNA to move. Men's destinies are different and some can only truly fulfill their destinies outside their home countries based on God's plans for their lives.

There are more good Nigerians than bad ones in every nation you go to. Envy? Yes of course. We're one people that many others hate to like Any society without laws would become chaotic and it's our responsibility to keep the laws of wherever we find ourselves.

These are not enough reasons not to embark on your destiny journey if that's the route for you sir.

Japa to African countries is quite different from that to Europe because you're expected to go into African countries with entrepreneurial skills as getting employment is very scarce except mostly teaching jobs.

Entanglement:
oga forget those people. There are just showing you the outside clothes but deep down, they are facing seriously policy issues!

I know many have closed down and coming back to Nigeria to re establish.

Yes, despite the policy issues many are still doing well in their businesses. Of course, some people shut down their businesses and return to Nigeria just like the person I referred to, many times, they have weighed the options before returning back to Nigeria.

Kay17:
There is no restructuring that can replace the political culture of a polity. We have a terrible one.

I don't agree with you on that. It will be total defeatist mindset to maintain a system that's not working.

Restructuring the country would help to put more attention on politicians by their people within their spaces.

State governments would be forced to more responsive, responsible and accountable as the people themselves would sit to to hold their leaders accountable instead of the system we have now where everyone is blaming the presidency for everything forgetting that their governors are to blame and be held to account.

Entanglement:
from frypan to fire!

Have you ever heard of Nigeria relocating to other Africa countries and making it big time?

There are many many Nigerians making it big time in African countries who don't announce it on social media sir.

I used to know a Nigerian making about 20k USD profit every month in his business in a country in West Africa before fear made him to shut down the business after he faced some threats from indigenous rivals.

Do you know that there are Nigerians with companies making millions around African countries?

adaperry25:
Yes I know it's good to get a partner who aligns with same faith but aside that one has to look at personality of whom you're marrying.

She's Catholic and I'm not and she's a good lady. The condition she gave was that she can't leave her faith.

I've searched and she's the only one that ticked all the boxes aside the faith issue.
I got no choice

I believe you're a Christian, so, you should know that:
1)GOD is the creator of man and woman
2)GOD is the originator of marriage
3)Man and woman are spiritual beings (souls) clothed in human form made from dust.
4)Life is a spiritual journey.
5)Marriage is a spiritual journey.
6)The journey of life would end in one of the two places: Hell or Heaven.
7)Marriage is used to illustrate man and woman's spiritual journey on earth.
Marriage could determine where one's life journey ends.
9) Marriage as affirmed by God the Father, and the Son, Jesus Christ, is 1+1 =1

Therefore, I have the following questions and observations:

Did both of you get confirmation from God that you're meant for each other?

Both of you going to different churches for any reason is a negation of the divine equation of 1+1=1.

A woman's submission starts with her receiving God's confirmation to LEAVE and follow the man to whatever church he attends.

The church you attend as a couple is part of your understanding of the spiritual nature of marriage.

NB: Any intending Christian couple who accede to a partner going to another church as part of their premarital agreement definitely need to engage in a study of marriage institution as a Christian.

COUPLES GOING TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES ESPECIALLY THOSE ATTENDING DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS WITH DIFFERENT DOCTRINES HAVE SET A TIME BOMB WAITING TO EXPLODE.

I said this somewhere on this platform this morning. Nigeria and our politicians are very predictable.

It shall be well with this great country.
When I don't know I know there is no place like home.

With all that's happening in the world today, I pray the eyes of the political elites and their families would open to know that a time may soon come when other nations would drive blacks back to their roots.

They should start building a version of Nigeria they are wont to run to in Rwanda, South Africa, Kenya, Dubai, US, UK, Europe, China et al

You caught my attention,bro!
You mean a Billionaire Dollar 💰- that is now enjoying the Niger- Delta oil 🪔 🛢️ well,but you know he is so disciplined that you still love him ,for Being Patriotic!
-Unlike those Who Carried Our -Commonwealths -To- Dubai, London,Europe, USA ,etc,to Hide and Provide Jobs- for Other Countries Youths and they still wants to Rule Nigeria as Politicians!
Just imagine,how their former President in Connvance with the Sons of the Soil-helped to Established A University in Another West African neighborhood,
- Instead of doing it here in Nigeria and Providing Employment Opportunities For Nigerian Youths,because they can't think of Tomorrow,
So, what happens - when they all departed,in years to Come?
•Who Owns that Humongous Money 🤑 Spent on that University Project- For that Country Will Surely Annexed It and Is A Matter of Time!
•Are We Serious At All?
•Is that How To Be Patriotic?
-This Singlelar Act irritates my Friend to JAPA- out of Nigeria, That Fear the oil Region People!
Their Shame de shame me!

I understand your point and it's a fact that the political class and elites from the Niger Delta are deeply involved in the oppression or marginalisation of the region because the huge amount of money they receive monthly cannot be accounted for in terms of commensurate development. Thus. they can't complain when part of their people's commonwealth becomes gifts for others.

Why is FG delaying in restoring democracy in Niger Republic ?

Which FG? Buhari is no longer around oo

IT'S OKAY.
I WON'T BE SURPRISED TO HEAR "FUBARA DECAMPS TO APC" TOMORROW.

The man Abacha dashed oil well in Niger Delta Where is Daisy Danjuma

May he live long to see the new Nigeria they desired.

WHY WOULD HE NOT
A SYSTEM WHERE GOVERNORS JUST RECEIVE ALLOCATIONS & BORROW LOANS WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY TO ANYONE WOULD CONTINUE TO BREED THESE TYPES OF WICKED WHITE ELEPHANT PROJECTS WHICH IS A COMMON FEATURE OF NIGERIA'S BRAND OF DEMOCRACY.



NIGERIA MUST BE RESTRUCTURED.

GOVERNANCE MUST BE DEVOLVED TO BE PART TIME JOB.

REQUISITE QUALIFICATION MUST BE UPGRADED TO FIRST DEGREE FOR GOVERNORS, SENATORS, REPS, & PRESIDENT.

JOB SPECIFICATIONS MUST BE ENSHRINED IN THE CONSTITUTION. MANY OF THESE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY THEY ARE IN THESE POSITIONS.

CAN KEBBI STATE GENERATE THIS AMOUNT MONTHLY BECAUSE THIS SO-CALLED LOAN IS NOTHING BUT TRAVEL SUPPORT FOR THE RECEIVERS

SmartPolician:
The danger of having moderate Muslims around you is that they rarely condemn mass killing of people of other faiths. While they pretend to hate it, they genuinely like it because they understand that the strategy is how their religion spreads fast.

There is NOTHING like moderate Muslims.

How rational is it to ask a cat to watch over a mouse or a fish?

That job should never be for a politician but a veteran soldier. The service chiefs should also resign for fresh blood.
