My own opinion is if u are a Christian, pray to God first about it. We are all human beings nd limited in things pertaining to the future, God knows what is ahead of u.
It might eventually be either of the two ideas or none of the ideas. God knows better, pray to him and ask for direction,he will surely direct ur path.

In a rather hilarious post shared by a Facebook user on the social networking platform, a Nigerian lady has lamented over the dullness of her conversations with a “fine boy” who she gave her number to about three months ago.

According to her, she felt that by this time, the guy who requested for her number would have asked her out and they woulda had a relationship going as of this moment.

But the lady, Mercury, who says she wishes for the year to ‘come and go’, has been left with nothing but total disappointment with the guy who apparently loves to tell her how “Good” every time of the day is.

From the screenshots of their chats she shared, the guy consistently sent her “good morning, afternoon and evening” texts even when she didn’t respond to them.

Now she’s taken to her page to lament over the situation as she wonders whether the said guy is a ghost or something. See her post below,

There's a thing call selective amnesia in which the sufferer loses certain parts of their memory.

OP, you just need a very good slap to trigger it.

I can guarantee you'll forget about that leech.

You talk as though it was you that Ned should have gotten married to. Why are you so pained. I found out it is ladies who can only offer sex and have no intellectual capacity to make life matter for themselves will run after money. Many ladies out there with self worth can make their own money not waiting for any ancestor to marry them as a way to escape poverty their parents couldn’t deliver them from.

Nne build, train and help yourself to make it on your own so you can have options.

Chelsea Football Club has reached an agreement with RB Leipzig to sign Timo Werner.

The 24-year-old has agreed personal terms with the Blues, and will remain at the German club for the rest of the Bundesliga season. He will link up with his new team-mates in July, subject to passing a medical examination.

One of the most feared young strikers in Europe, Werner is renowned for his pace, movement, link-up play and finishing ability. At Leipzig he has most often been deployed in a front two, but he can also play out wide in a front three or as the central striker.

He is currently enjoying the most profitable season of his career yet, having already scored 32 goals and registered 13 assists in 43 appearances in all competitions. After finding the net again against Fortuna Dusseldorf last night, he has two games remaining this season to improve on those numbers.

TIMO WERNER'S MESSAGE TO THE CHELSEA FANS

Werner said: ‘I am delighted to be signing for Chelsea, it is a very proud moment for me to be joining this great club. I of course want to thank RB Leipzig, the club and the fans, for four fantastic years. You will forever be in my heart. I look forward to next season with my new team-mates, my new manager and of course the Chelsea fans. Together we have a very successful future ahead of us.’

Marina Granovskaia added: 'We are very excited that Timo Werner has chosen to join Chelsea. He is a player who was coveted all over Europe and it is no surprise, he has that rare mix of being young and exciting and yet established and proven. We can’t wait to have Timo on board, but until then we wish him and RB Leipzig all the best for the rest of this season.'

When I read about deaths related to Covid I just ask. What will the world powers actually do to China for this virus that is killing people here and there?

Kobojunkie:
According to Jesus Christ, who is the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except through Him.

Do you want to build a kingdom for those who are rejected by Christ? Know that there are already many of such heavens out there already. Will your adding one more make a difference ?

Kobojunkie:
You keep missing the point.

Again having a stamped passport, a valid visa goes beyond ordinary belief. It steps into obtaining proof of your belief while you are still alive...

Let me use the disciples for an example. The disciples, after abiding by the tenets of their belief, were assured by Christ Himself, while He was alive, of their place in His Heaven. These men did not have to die/cross over in faith. They already had a knowing as far as their place in heaven.
Now it is my sure belief that the same is true for anyone who is in Christ (seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness....). The first you do is find the Kingdom, as a believer, then all other things will come in.
Anyone who is in Christ has His visa stamped and ready for Heaven. It is no delusion for it is a knowing much like the knowing the disciples were given while Jesus was alive. I hope this helps in some way.

Kobojunkie:
Of coursei don't agree!

How can i agree when i made it clear that we all should endeavour to know the truth here on this side before it is too late?
Religion is man-made and man's domain is in the land of the living. So whatever your religious belief, you are best getting everything squared out and ready while you live.

If you do not have the guarantee that you will cross over while you are alive, what makes you think it will happen in the way you expect, after you are dead?

If you do not have a valid visa ready before you die, what makes you think you can get one after you are dead?

Please re-read the previous post again!

Kobojunkie:
Each belief seems to have its own idea of heaven . Christ has His and He made known the criteria for getting into His own. Muslims have theirs and their prophets set the rules to get into that heaven. The same goes for every belief out there
.. . Some will even let everyone in, as in no border patrol in some heavens.
That said. Since it is only possible to enter one heaven at a time... meaning once you are in, too late to change your mind, it makes sense to build around that the idea of only true religion or idea of heaven there is(remember religion was created by men as man's way of controling and supposedly administering the things of God).

My advice to anyone trying to get into any of the Heavens though, if you cannot get guarantee/proof that your next destination when you close your eyes for the final time, is the heaven of your choice, i suggest you re-evaluate your belief.
If the deity you worship cannot provide you passport with valid visa into your heaven of choice while you are alive, make you reconsider the status of that deity. Faith means nothing once you die.
Even Charon requires you have your coins, from the land of the living, on you to pay him to ferry your soul into the greek afterlife.

Kobojunkie:
The truth came to this side to reveal Himself to us and tell us all there is to know and assure us of life even here, before we get to the other side.

So what truth is there to learn of on the other side that you cannot learn on this side where it matters the most?

WICKEDfucker:
Wow! Zombies truly exists...

I'll just treat you like one then.

On a serious note bro, let me be honest with you. No pun intended.

You don't seem to be intelligent with what you're trying to do here (posting righteous nonsense everywhere)

Since I engaged you in this argument or debate, you have not made any valid or sensible conviction to entice me to even take you seriously.

All you've been saying is YOU NEED JESUS blablabla

What sense does that make?
Where is the sense in it?

No stuff
No facts
No reference
No reason
No purpose etc

Honestly, preaching is not your calling and you can't make it with this attitude.

You need to have some stuff and something upstairs if you really want to convince people about Jesus. Instead of just being an annoying troll with nothing sensible or intelligent to offer.

You really need to work on yourself bro.

BlindedIrony:
Ehmmm... Let me clear some misconception about the US that some people who have never been there believe. First thing first:

1) The number of homeless people in America is ACTUALLY 552,280, not 50 million like an idiot here mentioned earlier. This is exactly the data on whitehouse.gov. These data are accurate (unlike the numbers our Nigerian politicians throw around). American employment, social, disabled and other social data are gotten from social security and other records. An example goes like this: Say the American population is 350 million (twice Nigerian population, yet one of its 50 states called Texas is bigger than Nigeria), and one person gets a job, sick or disabled, the government track this because it is the only way people are helped. So there you go, folks, 552280 homeless people out of 327 million population. Not bad at all, right?! I was impressed too, so I took classes during my college years on how it happened to fully understand it.
2) There are so many jobs opportunities that they are constantly allowing hundreds of thousands of people into their country to fill the job vacancies. If you know anyone that moves to the US and he or she has problems finding a job, that is because they came with a visitor's visa. So, they overstayed and they wouldn't go back. You can't get a job (white or black) without a social security number (SSN). So, the jobless Nigerians you know here probably came with student visas or visitors. That's illegal when they try to work; when they do, it is probably shitty jobs like car washes where they are paid under the table (no tax). When they are discovered, they get in trouble along with the company that employed them. However, the Nigerians who came through the legal way- immigration visas are ALWAYS GAINFULLY employed. I have not met the so-called jobless Nigerians here, and I am yet to see one looking for a job. I know hundreds of Nigerians- all educated professionals or students.
3) There is NO SUCH THING AS OPEN DISCRIMINATION. This is not the pre-1960s. There is subtle racism or bias, but it is individuals. Mostly, few uneducated whites; not just afew whites, other races have afew people with bias and racism (Y'all have seen the videos). Americans revered industrious, educated and socially people. As long as you are these, Americans will LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU. My first job here, my boss fired a co-worker (white) because he gossiped about my accent and African background. In college, I had many of the San Antonio College smartest students who adorned me because they taught I was smarter than them. God knows we were all in the same shoes. All my professors liked my Nigerian heritage. It got to the point where I got a scholarship (he was not qualified for) and a campus job for a warri student on student visa. I just talked to my history professor about the student's academic performance, and the professor was very eager to meet him. After a conversation to ascertain the young man's character, the professor was impressed. My warri friend got the scholarship. The campus job was later in his second year.
4)Most Americans have more than $1000 in their accounts, not less than $1000 like someone said here. I will tell you why. Most Americans have very good paying jobs. The population has very poor people in their midst, but most of these poor people are not like the poor people of the third world societies- they are trained technicians (some- not all). They can afford cars, meals and other necessities just like the rich and the middle class can afford. The only difference is that they can afford the cheap versions or small versions. In fact, there is an American joke that the poor can afford exactly the same things as the rich, just the smaller version. Example: A toyota corolla vs. a Mercedes benz. Understand?
Let me explain better. America has society classes (also called tax or income bracket): Upper class ($1,000,000 and above annual income), Upper Middle class ($80,000 to about $900,000 annual income), lower middle class ($30,000 to $70,000 annual income), lower class ($8,000 to $29,000) and poor (less than $8,000). The latter and former are usually confused, but they are not the same. Majority of Americans are middle class. They save a lot of money too. The reason why some may have less than $1000 in their account is because they have IRAs or other variety of retirement funds. When you have a job here, you set up a retirement fund where you contribute a TINY portion of their wages. The TINY portion is invested in stocks, mutual funds, trusts, and other financial packages. 64.8% of Americans own a house! Google it. That's 209,280,000 homeowners out of its 327,000,000 million people. I know people paint America as bad, but you have to be here to see for yourself.
5) Some said Chicago is bad. Well, it has a crime rate slightly higher than other cities in the US but not like the bad you see on movies. Every city has a low income side aka ghetto. However, the funny part is this low income part looks like the best developed part of Nigeria . The only difference is that the crime rate is high and it is the low income part of town. They still have electricity and social amenities like the rest of the city. The difference is that it is the low income part of town lol You won't even know until someone tells you, and also perhaps the cheap-looking houses.

Well... I guess that completes it. This is the only country I know where citizens of the most developed nations are trying to get into. Germans, Japaneses, English, French and so on lol I can tell you this because I saw many of them when I went in to swear on citizenship ceremony. People keep saying Nigeria is not bad, but you don't know how Nigeria is until you move out of it. I had PTSD for afew years after I moved here because the only thing separating my house from my street is just an inch of glass. My Nigerian mentality kept thinking armed robbers were going to break in. This is my 6th year, and I still take 1am or 2am walk when I can't sleep at night. That's how secure the country is.

Also, in case of fire or emergency, it takes 4 mins for firemen or police to come to you. It CANNOT exceed 4 mins. It is the same anywhere in the US. Oh! Before I forgot, I made $11.25 per hour in my first year as a new immigrant with no friends or family. After tax, I brought home about $25,000. And it was a shitty job lol all I did then in 2014 was greet people from 9am to 5pm with 3 breaks! Pay was biweekly, twice a month plus federal law says no one can work 40 hours per week or else, the company will pay you your regular wage + half your wage per hour (back in 2014: $11.25 + $5.63 per hour). IMAGINE WHAT IT IS NOW AS A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL! You still think we regret leaving Nigeria??

What is there to miss in Nigeria? The Nigerian people are here- the restaurant (the better version), culture and cultural festivals. If we miss the culture too much, we come back home and flex , then go back home. Ever wonder why majority of American citizens (from all countries in the world never go back to live permanently in their native countries? Man abeg pack aside.

Billionaires in the world didnt save money to become one. That's a very low orientation. A Nigerian American just got investors who donated 40million dollars to his business proposal. This is how Billionaires are made not by savings
