My dear Nairaland family, i will make this as simple as possible. My wife is very fertile and we had 3 kids in the first 3 years of our marriage.
We do not need any child again but the problem know is no matter what we do she keeps missing her period almost every month and this has been going on for almost 3 years plus now, We had implanon (which is a hormone-releasing birth control implant for use by women to prevent pregnancy for up to 3 years). this stuff costs over 400k for the implant oh, it gave us relieve for about a year but after then she started having the serious side effects and we had to remove it.
We have tried different harbs and medicine they all fail just after awhile and she keeps taking in.
She is a very beautiful lady even after 3 kids with a nice physique (when body touch body for night things go happen) and we enjoy sex on a regular.
What can we do to stop this frequent Month to month pregnancy? we are tired of terminating pregnancies and stuffs like that.

Use condoms now

I am a Batch C 2021 corp member newly posted to Imo state. My fellow nairaland members, I need your help as to where I can board a vehicle to imo state, how many hours or days will it take me to get there from Kogi State. And every other useful info are welcome. Thanks

which part of Kogi?
Are you carrying lots of loads ? if not I will just advise you to just head to Enugu and take a bus heading to Imo. It is much easier from there

Concrete before civilization?

We used mud to build raised platforms on which we placed mats and then slept maybe.

.
You heard that right, concrete. Civilization began in Africa

lecturer50:
Is it because I said Okonkwo slept on Bamboo bed?

Maybe there are other ways they slept.

I want to know the other ways.

Concrete beds

lecturer50:
Before civilization came to Nigeria, what type of bed did our ancestors sleep on.

I am asking this because I read in Things Fall Apart that Okonkwo used to sleep on his bamboo bed.


What type of bed could our ancestors have slept on that would be comfortable.

I know they couldn't have been sleeping on the floor because of the risk of ants or insects bite.

Bamboo

Greetings nairalanders.

I need 2 share dis with u all. I dont understand what's going on with me. I had a beautiful introduction with d lady i love with all my life. She's very ok on her own & am cool as well but not up to her standard financially. She undertands dis very well with respect. But i feel very less of myself whenever she does things that am supposed to do as a man at a point. She never complains tho cos she's capable filling the void. We dont live together yet but we see and talk with each other on daily basis. She covers me up so many times in financial areas. She has proved her love to me endless times without abuse but i'm scared about dis & working out my ass 2 meet her standard so she wont someday voice it out to me. Now here's d problem, i am not super rich but she presented me to her late father's family as been rich. We provided everything they needed through her most support. I hope i didnt make a mistake allowing this? Should this continue while i keep my hustle tight 2 match up?

Don't over stress yourself bro, the most important thing is that she gives you peace of mind and that you are doing your best to grow up financially. You can't achieve all of that in a day so stay calm

Good day everyone

Please I'll appreciate every input I can get today from you.

I have been working on a tech startup project for some time now. It's now live and now I can't seem to know how to grow it.

Business idea: As we all know, comedy skit makers and a lot of content creators depends on advertising to make money. The idea behind my project is to change this, to help creators monetize their contents by offering monthly subscriptions or pay per view options.

So someone like Mr Macaroni can choose to lock some of his videos and uses will have to pay a monthly subscription to view all the videos or pay a certain fee to watch a particular video (pay-per-view)

That's the idea.

But now I'm a little stuck in how to start getting people to use the platform.

The platform is mypalio.com

Please note that I'm still updating the front page but right now I'm beginning to lose faith.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you

When it comes to the business angle of tech platforms, the setting up of the company is more important than just the product, because you will need to raise funding for scaling it up.
Meanwhile, it is important you do custom development. If you want consulting along that line and getting funding via acceleration and you are ready to pay. Chat me up on 08089456258

Please anyone with this information should give me the update. I'll really appreciate your effort if you can help me find a way out.

How much do you have there

Kobojunkie:
See, and off again you go without first comprehending what is being said to you....

Jesus Christ is the one who commands His followers, not Paul or Peter or even David. And according to Jesus Christ's teachings and commandments which we are all called to live by... Is this a lie ?

....There is no such thing as a "calling", not when the call from God went out To All of mankind - John 3 vs 16 - is this a lie?

Also, there is no such thing as being a preacher when, again, All those who follow God are sent out as teachers of the Gospel to those in the World. ... is this a lie ?

If you instead believe Jesus Christ a liar, then state this and move on.

Then that means you lack the understanding of the administrative Government of Christ, you keep repeating the same deception. There are those who are not teachers, and there are those who are not Preachers among us all.
Go and read your Bible back to back again,
God has the principle of order and no confusion, if you say that all of us are teachers and preachers then it means you are reading another bible but as it is you really need an open mind concerning the Holy scriptures

Dtruthspeaker:
Say The Truth, it is you who thinks you need them priests and pastors NOT GOD!

It is not for nothing He Said "it is Finished"

As you see, everything is Finished or Finishing!

So certainly, Church has Finished also and with or without church, Anyone who wants to follow God can and will Follow Him, by themselves.

That is a big lie from hell

Kobojunkie:
The reason I keep copy pasting my response is because you keep traveling off on a tangent instead of addressing that contained in the comment you pretend to respond to.

Jesus Christ is the one who commands His followers, not Paul or Peter or even David. And according to Jesus Christ's teachings and commandments which we are all called to live by...

....There is no such thing as a "calling", not when the call from God went out To All of mankind - John 3 vs 16

Also, there is no such thing as being a preacher when, again, All those who follow God are sent out as teachers of the Gospel to those in the World.

If you instead believe Jesus Christ a liar, then state this and move on.

That means you don't understand the Scriptures then because the passages you are referring to are not written directly by Jesus Christ himself. John wrote John 3:16 and he himself wrote letters to Churches popular among them was the 3rd John. Not to talk of the letters to the 7 churches in Asia in the book of Revelation.
Take note that the Holy Bible said All Scriptures are given for the purpose of doctrine, corrections, reproofs (2 Timothy 3:16) so I wonder where you got the idea of misconstruing Paul and other Apostles from Jesus Christ, when they are his representatives and missionaries.
I have pointed a scripture to you where Paul called himself a preacher or priest, now I will give you others.
Romans 15:15-16
But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God, to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Mark 3:14-15
And He appointed twelve, so that they would be with Him and that He could send them out to preach, and to have authority to cast out the demons.

What actually does it mean to Preach or be a Preacher

Luke 9:1-2
And He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. And He sent them out to proclaim (preach) the kingdom of God and to perform healing.

Yes it is the duty of all Christian to preach to all humans

Acts 8:4

Therefore, those who had been scattered went about preaching the word

Acts 15:35

But Paul and Barnabas stayed in Antioch, teaching and preaching with many others also, the word of the Lord.


Paul was personally sent by Christ Jesus to Preach the gospel

1 Corinthians 1:17-18
For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void. For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.

It is by preaching that salvation comes to the lost

Romans 10:14-15
How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher? How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who publish (preach) the gospel of salvation

Dtruthspeaker:
I have given you my own position as per your topic. God has no need for preists since He Has Left the church.

That is not true bro, God still need priests may be you meant Catholic Priests are not necessarily needed by God. But I believe with the understanding of how bad things are God yet permits something to exist so as to win souls among those who still stick to the Roman catholicism.

Kobojunkie:
Comprehension is, am afraid , still your biggest issue still.
Again, pay attention and not jumping all over the place as if attempting to play wack-a-mole or something...There is no such thing as a "calling", not when the call from God went out To All of mankind - John 3 vs 16

Also, there is no such thing as being a preacher when, again, All those who follow God are sent out as teachers of the Gospel to those in the World.

Here's a hint: When a condition applies to every element in a given universe, it becomes nonsensical to regard that condition as if special.

Why are you always copying and pasting I was expecting you to make rebuttals.
You lack of understanding of the scriptures, the doctrines of Christ and his strategy for times and seasons make you be clouded with linear sentiments. I wish you can open your mind and go back to reading the Holy Scriptures again, not focusing alone on linear concepts without providing other witnesses fr scriptures.
Many of you just raise sentiments out of the little study you have made which often do not have linked evidences.
Meanwhile when Paul referred to the church in the desert under Moses he must have been wrong based on your analysis.
Or let us talk about the part of Act by brother luke talking about how thousands were added to the Church, or Peters letter to the saints in Babylon (1 Peter 5:13)
You seem to have short sited study of the scriptures.

Munzy14:
Life itself is a case of give and take...

No mata how common, common sense sounds, it is never that common.....You see self centered/entitled people, whether man or woman, runnnnnnnnnnn... ...otherwise na early call to glory..

Once I noticed that someone is close to me because of what he or she stands to get alone I immediately cut them off

Kobojunkie:
Jesus Christ never sent anyone out to represent anything for any of your churches. He no even send anyone go dey attend church to begin with.

You are the Light of the World, or the Light of the World, Jesus Christ, is meant to shine through you?

Anyways, Jesus Christ applied many titles to Himself - Teacher, Shepherd, Master, Authority, Guide, Counselor, Helper etc., - but He also made it clear to His followers that He alone occupied said roles in His Kingdom - none of His followers were to attempt to occupy the same roles over the lives of others.

You are confused, man. You are reading your Bible out of context and it is obvious that you are not well equipped with the meats of the gospel

Kobojunkie:

I said it you are be clouded with the little you know. Okay there is nothing like Preacher right so why did Paul refer himself as a preacher in 2nd Timothy 1:11 thank God all versions have same rendition of the verse

Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles. 2 Timothy 1:11

Give a rebuttal about this again and I will bring up another one

Kobojunkie:
Are you certain I am the confused one here?

Again, There is no such thing as a "calling", not when the call from God went out To All of mankind - John 3 vs 16

Also, there is no such thing as being a preacher when, again, All those who follow God are sent out as teachers of the Gospel to those in the World.

If you don't understand what this implies, ask and I will explain.

Are you sure you read your Holy Bible well.
Scriptures says in the presence of two or three witnesses a matter is established. I will give you 1 for now and see whether you will disagree or misconstrue it.

Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off. So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John to assist them. ...Acts 13:1-52

Amotolongbo:
Give him money to do what?
She can’t just be giving him money for no just reason. She can spend her money on the home, not giving it to her husband.

A man requesting for money from a woman is only trying to trade his pride as the head of the home.

The only time a man should be given money by a woman is when it is needed for a personal and mental development which will bring a fortune to the man and home

There was a time Bishop Oyedepo's wife earned more than are husband who is in the full time ministry, she submits all she had to her husband every month, same with Pastor Enenche and Pastor Ibiyome.
There is a big difference between having wisdom and having money, it is one thing to be visionary it is another to have the provision for making the vision a reality.
I can never marry a self centered lady, even though I have money more than you, you must be willing to part with your money just I do for you.

You are confused man, why would you stress yourself reading a comment out of context.
All of the two scriptures you quoted and connected to your perspective do not in any way synchronize, don't overthink things the Holy Scriptures are very easy to comprehend

Johndagr8t:
its bullshit for people to think ur
fine but ur poor. u will be suffering
the wahala of being fine, like girls
drama, jealousy, crushes from
strangers, etc yet u wont ever
enjoy the benefit cuz tho ur fine u
wont really have a life due to ur
poor boy status. why will someone
be so goodlooking yet so broke, ?
u go to church and girls
think ur beautiful by staring at u
yet ur dying inside cuz u know u
have nothing to offer them. or is it
that there is a way around enjoying
the benefits of being a fineboy yet
poor?

Go to the city and become an actor may be you will be next Ramsey Noah

Dyke15:
Really?

I have had your type of visions hundreds of times if not thousands of times and people have even come to me to tell me that they see me before crowds, but as I grew older and also in the things of God I realized that the fulfillment of such visions and how it gets fulfilled is up to me and the extent of my capacity.
Most times the information we receive earlier becomes the narratives we see but when it comes to reality wisdom is often profitable to direct.
God is a good negotiator and not a slave master that will force a will on you, focus more on developing your relationship with God first after which being a pulpit person can come later. Most importantly ask God for clarity of purpose and vision.

Dyke15:
Please fellow nairalanders, this is a true life story that happened to me and I really need your advice. The write up is long but please bear with me.
Am a student in one of the federal universities in the East. I graduated 2019 and due to covid 19 and little delay in my school, am yet to collect my statement of result but to God be the glory, am almost done with collecting that.
I am born into a family of four and am the third. I am also a Catholic.
Before I got admission into university, my Mum use to attend one Catholic prayer ministry like that. It happened that she took me to the ministry on this particular day. The woman heading the ministry saw me and said to me, young man, what is preventing you from being a priest. Both my Mum and I was shocked. She now asked me when I was small whether I had the intention of being a priest. I replied that people used to call me father but I really don't know if I choose that for myself coz I was little then. She then replied that mother Mary and her son wants me to be a priest. My mum and I brushed that aside and my mum assured me that anyone can serve God either as a priest or not.
I later got admission into the university and during one of the vacations, I got back home and one of my sister's friend came to our house. My sister told me that she sees in spirit and also prohesies to people and immediately she saw me entering the house, she called me aside and told me she is seeing me standing in the pulpit and talking to people. That I have a very bright star. She now asked me about my relationship with God and I told her the organ that I belonged to in the church and she now recommended that I should join choir.
Now two years ago we travelled to the village for Xmas, I went in to greet my grandma and she turned sharply to me and said( Bia nwokem, okwa I ma nga chie Father) which literally means, see young man, won't you go and become priest. I was really marvelled. She didn't even utter any word to me again.
Now fast forward to this particular year( 2021),I traveled back to school for my clearance. My friends are around too and we normally get high on alcohol and weed. Though I don't smoke but I eat food made with weed. So that particular day, we cooked with weed and Its effect pulled me down. On a norms, my head dey fit carry am but that particular day, the weed was more than the food.
It happened that they even had to carry me inside the bathroom and left the shower open just for me to be calm. I regained consciousness a little bit but was fighting inner battle with myself coz of the effect of the weed. I brought out my rosary with my prayer book and kept close to my head on the bed. My friends now deemed it fit to leave the room for me. As they left the room, it didn't even took five minutes they left and I entered into a trance. Everywhere became dark and I saw a bright light that lite up the room. It dragged me up from the bed and made me bow down to that light 3 times shouting; I WILL BE A PRIEST continuously. I was shouting that and at the same time bowing down to that bright light. I even removed my cloth and became fully naked and standing infront of our center mirror still in my trance state and said; I WILL BE A PRIEST, IF AM NOT A PRIEST OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, KILL ME LORD, I WILL SPEAK THE TRUTH (i said this part dragging out my tongue).
I also raised up my rosary and said; I WILL BE A PRIEST OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH and mind you, I said this words nonstop without blinking or pausing and the scary part, it took me to a reading table in my room and I took a pen and a piece of paper and it dragged me to the bed, sat me down, threw me up and then placed my hand with the pen on the piece of paper and wrote; I WILL BE A PRIEST.
Please friends, I didn't make this story up, both heaven and Earth will bear me witness. Immediately I wrote that, I got myself and lied on the bed and slept off. I woke up and by then my friends are now back and Lo and behold, I looked at my chest and saw that book on my chest with the write up bodly written on it. I explained my story to them still shocked and in the trance state a little bit and said to them, even if am not a priest and I got married, that I will never give birth.
The picture of the piece of paper that I wrote is attached below
Please friends I need your advice coz am confused

You have the calling but you are being manipulated. You can be a preacher without being a Father. Don't let anyone manipulate you about the calling of God

charlesdinho7:
good day to y'all. there is this girl that used to be into me madly to the extent she asked me out but i told her, i will like her to remain friends with me, so i did not accept her proposal for a relationship. this happened some few years back. as it stands now, i am the one madly into her now. i cant stop thinking about her every day. i once asked her out but she said i am not the caring type. she thought i was only joking with her about me telling her to be my girlfriend. she is at the age in which all she want is marriage. i can give her what she want but i am currently not involve in any kind of job since finishing my nysc. i just need advise from you guys. how can i get myself not to love her anymore?. i am even scared of someone getting married to her. i really need to get my mind off her but i dont know how to go about it... thanks

Every good relationship begins with having a date and fueling communication. Try getting closer to her first if things works out that is good if not move on.

codesngr:
Honestly you sound dumb. So ur point is nobody on nairaland knows how to.

I am 100% sure you are just starting out programming , no be still human being dey fiverr.

Even fiverr is the worst place if you want to hire a professional body for your job.

I am not talking about professionalism I am talking about him safe guarding his cash. If anyone is capable of doing the job on Nairaland, the person should give him his Fiverr link. Fiverr is a good escrow

Naijatask:
Hello guys, so it's been quite some few months I've been learning front end development.

But I've been procrastinating all these while when I try to start up a project.

I got an opportunity last week, when a group assignment mandated us to build a website and if possible, build a mobile app too (we'll never build the mobile app by the way ).

You can check out the website I built for the purpose of our group work @ www.gokeke.com.ng it's only a month hosting sha I might have to move it to Netlify after the one month hosting expires.

I'll be glad if I can receive heavy criticisms from professionals here.

By the way, I used pure html, css and JavaScript.

And if you're wondering when I started to learn how to program, it's been 11 months now.

Ps: I used bolt.eu as an inspiration for the design.

Thank you

Hi.

Honestly speaking am really worried, have dated my fiance for sometime now. So we finally decided to tie the knot.
She suggested we do it this year November and I concurred, so we've been saving towards it ever since.

Last 2 months I made my intentions known to her family, that I will like to marry their daughter. Due to the conversations I had With her parents, I told them I wanted it small.. because am not financialy buoyant.

But To my surprise, her dad said I shouldn't worry about it, they are going to support me ( which is most likely Normal)

(They gave me traditional rite's, which I sorted out by myself)

With the traditional right drawing close, last month I learnt from my fiancee..her parents are planning to buy 2 cow for the traditional and white wedding. (I was surprised)

The following week, the hall she choosed for the reception of the white wedding, has already been paid for by her dad which was about 500k excluding the decorations which they also took care of ( even though I opted we could have done the reception in the church)

But my fiancee told me her dad is inviting alot of well-wishers home and abroad to come celebrate with us.both his fellow staffs and all.

* I bought 2 bag of rice and groundnut oils

* We paid for the cakes

* We paid for drinks

* We sorted things out (invitation cards, pre shoot photos)

But was surprised 2 days to the traditional marriage, more expensive drinks were rolling in.

On the d day of the white wedding, I realised, they cooked more than 8 bags of rice ( coconut, jollof, banga and fried) meats were surplused.
Alot of people came from her family's, while my own families were just there.. they did get the message.

Someone even said it to my mom face. THAT THIS GIRL PAPA TRY O.








please, I don't want to sound like am a bad person or I don't know good.
Offcus I appreciate her parents efforts, but am just a little bit worried.


As a man, won't this come to haunt me in the future?

Don't be scared love your wife, create a positive game plan to become rich and plan to have a pay back for the support of your parents-in-law

This got me wondering.
As a vocalist, I get invited to several church programs to minister and I have never seen a pastor whose wife is below average when it comes to looks.
My question is, are pastors really focused when preaching or giving a sermon?, because most of the ladies they get married to are either choristers, ushers or intercessors in the same church. And when most youths go to church to look for their missing ribs they get tagged as irresponsible and wayward.

No one has the opportunity for scanning and screening like Pastors
