Zorn:
Igbos hates yorubas , but yorubas loves igbos?

From this your submission, it shows how uninformed you are about the real problem. It was the Norther manipulators that are fueling this animosity. Igbos are not Jealous of Lagos. The igbos are in every major cities of the world. All this is a political game plan of the North. They will do everything to make sure that the south does not unit.

Romance / Re: Why 2baba Married His Wife Annie by YourFreedom(m): 9:33pm On Sep 04, 2021
Anyone who is married and in love understand the tussling in marriage. I just wish them peace and understanding.
Romance / Why 2baba Married His Wife Annie by YourFreedom(m): 10:14pm On Sep 03, 2021
Award-winning 2face Idibia or 2Baba has opened up on why he married his wife, Annie Idibia Innocent despite having kids from several other women.

The ever-green “African Queen” singer is a father of seven; five from his previous relationships with other women and two with his wife, Annie Idibia.

In an interview with Hypertek’s Digital boss, he disclosed why he opted for Annie above others.

He explained all his baby mamas are well-to-do and very much learned but Annie possessed the latter and not the former.

2Baba said: “You see Annie is from an average background like myself. We both started from nothing. She stuck by me through it all. When there was no car she hopped on bikes, took the bus, and trekked with me. When there was no money or house or hit song or millions of albums sold or big awards and accolades.”

“When I used to repeat just 3 sets of clothes, she would always hold my head, look me in the eyes and tell me things will be fine one day. When I wasn’t handsome, she would call me her prince charming. When I wasn’t celebrated, she called me her king and said she is my number one fan and to this day, she still is.”

“Even when I made it big as a musician and started misbehaving and controversies almost destroyed my career, she would go down on her knees and pray to God to show me the way and give me victory over my enemies.”

“Now if am still that small boy struggling to make it like every other young chap on the streets of Lagos, do you think a doctor, a lawyer, and a multi-millionaire businesswoman would want to look at me or even have my kids? No, so to answer your question, I did not choose who had more to offer me, I chose Annie because she offered me her all when we had very little”.

Religion / 4 Ways To Pray For Afghanistan by YourFreedom(m): 9:17pm On Aug 21, 2021
When God rebukes the nations, we must pay attention.
It’s astonishing to realize that twenty years later, Afghanis are falling from C-17s as desperate hordes flee the Taliban. I’m heartbroken and driven to my knees in prayer.

There are innumerable ways we can pray for Afghanistan and all the Christians there. Here are just four.

*PRAY FOR PERSEVERANCE*

Missionaries in Afghanistan are facing near-certain execution this week as Taliban forces claim control. As a comfortable Westerner, I have difficulty imagining myself in their shoes. Yet Scripture commands us: “Remember also those being mistreated, as if you felt their pain in your own bodies” (Heb. 13:3). It also tells us to “Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep” (Rom. 12:15).

Let us pray fervently for Christians in Afghanistan and their miraculous deliverance. Knowing the tests they’re certain to face, let’s also pray for their perseverance. A crown of life awaits those who lose all to gain Christ.

*PRAY IN REPENTANCE*

Americans should not be surprised by our apparent defeat. God is bringing low our pride.

We thought of ourselves as the world’s saviors, but we have our own sin to address. We have shed the blood of innocent millions through abortion, desecrated marriage, idolized self and identities, stoked grievances, and given the place of God to the state and our favorite political movements. “[F]or my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jer. 2:13).

For these reasons and more, we aren’t the world’s saviors—Jesus Christ is. He’s the one who can “nation-build.” Yet rather than exporting the gospel to the world, we sought to export our political system merely. But ultimate peace is impossible apart from the lordship of Christ.

As we repent, let us renew our efforts to bring the gospel to the world, leaving behind our political idolatries. Of the 38 million people in Afghanistan, .01 percent call themselves evangelical Christian (source). The secular West and ravaged South Asia both need the gospel.

*PRAY FOR JUDGMENT*

The Greek word for judgment is where we get the English word crisis. What do the ideas of crisis and judgment have in common? Both divine judgments and crises tend to reveal things. They show who belongs to God and who does not.

As crisis unfolds, it’s biblical to pray for judgment on the evil, oppressive Taliban forces. In Revelation, the martyrs pray, “O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” (Rev. 6:10).

The Bible is full of imprecatory prayers calling down judgments on the enemies of God. Yes, we are commanded to love our enemies. But as those who yearn for God to be glorified, it is right that we should long to see his justice against the wicked displayed in the world.

*PRAY FOR OPPORTUNITIES*

Let’s pray for opportunities to share the gospel with the Muslims around us.

Chances are that wherever you live, there are Afghans or other Islamic diaspora peoples within reach. If you’re from Fremont, California or Northern Virginia, both areas boast the largest concentrations of Afghans in the US (source).

Has your church ever considered what it can do to identify the unreached people groups in your own community? God is bringing the nations to our own backyard. He’s committed to expanding his kingdom even when missionaries can’t easily go. We can cross cultures without crossing borders.

May the Lord grant us faith to fight on our knees until the Prince of Peace fully displays his kingdom in this world.

Investment / How To Successfully Be A Gemstone And Solid Mineral Business In Nigeria by YourFreedom(m): 3:41pm On May 01, 2021
Understanding The Principles of Successful Gemstone Business in Nigeria
A business is a business when it adds value to the society and industry. You want to provide choice of Gemstones, don’t you? So what value do you want to add? Or do you think you’re going to make it doing gemstone Business in Nigeria? By the way, how do you even begin gemstone Business in Nigeria

Now, Despite the seemingly enormous saturation and supply of several diamonds in the industry, you’re still going to be able to expect for profit. Starting a business isn’t so simple though, but I’m going to show you how to do it easier when it comes to doing gemstone Business in Nigeria.
Now, there’s no denying the fact that the mineral sector presents one of the most successful business choices. This id unconnected to the diversification of the monolithic market of Nigeria owning to the deposits of minerals in the country. About 35 mineral deposits have thus far been discovered in the nation. Nigeria is blessed with unique kinds of diamonds such as topaz sapphire.

What is Gemstone? Physical Properties of Gemstones
A gemstone is a kind of attractive mineral, which when polished and cut is traditionally used to make jewelry or other adornments.

Some physical properties of Gemstone which makes it to stands out include its lustre, although most of them are tough. Rarity is another attribute that brings value.

Stone according to this is valued dependent on not it’s just quantity but also from the 4C which govern Clarity, Cut, Carat Weight and Colour.

Colour: Color is the most important element for gemstones. All stone have a color or an assortment of colours that are preferred. The more the color varies from this variety — darker or lighter, more vibrant or less — the less precious the stone. Colour is made up of three dimensions: hue, tone, and saturation.

Hue refers to the belief of color noticed like yellow, red or blue.

Tone refers to the degree of darkness or lightness of an item.

Saturation defines the level of purity of a colour.

Cut: Cut refers to the design or shape of a stone in addition to the accuracy of the proportions of the stone and complete. The cut shows a gem’s beauty.

Gemstones are cut into shapes. Additionally, they are fashioned or are sometimes carved into different designs. Under Cut property of Gemstones, we have two other sub-properties namely Proportion and End, respectively.

Proportions involves appeal and the equilibrium of the design. End identifies the detail of this workmanship. A cut using a finish will demonstrate the optical properties of a stone. When all other variables are even (colour, clarity, and carat weight), a more better-cut gem will probably be valuable.

How To Begin a Gemstone Business
Possessing a broad assortment of diamonds is vital. Particularly if targeting diamonds or jewelry, you should be be able to purchase gemstone beads and make one off designer beads which are in hot demand. The easiest way to build long-lasting confidence in the heart of your buyers would be to get a huge choice of gemstones. By means of a gem testing lab like the GIA, you will be able to test these diamonds and include a certificate. This will enable your buyers to make choices even as they build trust in your business.
Strategize On Methods of Targeting and Attracting Buyers
Start as a hobby for pleasure and also have it at the back of your mind that for a start, you will make few mistakes first time buyers do. But you can avoid this if you take necessary precautions.

Try out your ideas for beginning. So, you’d need to do some market research first. Ensure that your goods are much better than what others are offering. As soon as you have a Variety of the stock, you simply move over and acquire a store where you offer them for sale.

Try to Build That Trust

One thing about Gemstone business, just like any other jewelry business is that it needs lots of trust and confidence from both the seller and the buyer. So, be enthusiastic about the business and your clients will have confidence to buy from you.

Invest Your Time and Money
You also have to devote your time to the business. However, the most essential and also key thing is to invest large quantity of money. Gemstones are costly, and sapphires and the diamonds are the most of all stones. In purchasing gemstone, you can visit mining websites where you could buy gemstones from.

Go Along with Someone Who Knows the Market while Purchasing
It is always good practice to visit the store with someone who knows the in-and-out of Gemstone business so that your trade will be worth your cash. You will find several stores offering the products online and off the streets. For drop-shipping, the shipping expenses will be added.
Decide What Sort Of Gemstones You Would Like To Market
On the flip side, before you buy gemstones, you need to decide what sort of gems that you would like to market. Likewise, establish whether you’ll market the diamonds in retail marketplace or at wholesale. You may use bead cutter to cut the stone if you would like to diversify the market and put more money into your pockets by selling cut gemstones.

Make More Money Selling Cut Gemstones
About promoting in marketplace, the fantastic thing is that you’re able to gain profits. Since you would have to buy machinery and you probably would have to employ a gemstone cutter the capital you will require will probably be greater. Be certain that you buy only what you would need.

In the event that cut stones will be sold by you, it’s compulsory that you hire a gemstone cutter. The cutting of this product can add the cost and thousands of dollars.

According to specialists, in cutting stones such as diamonds and sapphires compared to gemstones you would have to pay great attention. This usually means that the purchase price of the jewelry or the diamond is dependent upon how it’s cut. That’s the reason why having good knowledge of gemstones cutting is significant to your success in the business.

Strategize and Re-strategize on Your Sales Options
Having said the above, you need to identify buyers or your intended audience. You may sell your items on the internet or off the streets. Investors can be your customers especially those searching for collectors’ things.

You’ll have the ability to cater for their needs by identifying your target clients. You would have to look into the market for more prospects in the gemstone business. Make the quality, quantity of the gemstones in addition to the cost ok for everyone to afford. You have the opportunity to expose your business to more clients by selling your products online. Doing so, you can have the opportunity to make even more money.

Concluding Remarks
Gemstones are Precious stones in the Nigerian marketplace. The current market is saturated and will take up as much volume of the product without having any effect on the purchase price against supply. The more the quantity available, the better your bargaining power.

The purchase price of gemstones can grow by as much as involving 10 percent to 15 percent once the item is cut.

It’s pertinent to say at this juncture that gemstone export in has been a recurring event and just a few men and women are profiting from it due to lack of information.

You can key in today and make huge profits doing gemstone business in Nigeria.

Education / The Real Problem With Today's Youths And Why Most Parents Just Don't Get It! by YourFreedom(m): 9:30pm On Oct 10, 2020
"The inspiration of a noble cause involving human interests wide and far, enables men to do things they did not dream themselves capable of before, and which they were not capable of alone. The consciousness of belonging, vitally, to something beyond individuality; of being part of a personality that reaches we know not where, in space and time, greatens the heart to the limit of the soul's ideal, and builds out the supreme of character."(Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain, October 3, 1889)

My name is Edward. I generally function under the persona of 'Pastor Edward'. That's because I am a priest. Apart from being a priest I am also a Geologist and all-round youth educator. I am also a 'youth worker' of sorts.

In some places in the world I would be granted an enormous amount of respect because I am a priest. In this community, I find; I receive more respect that I deserve on account of my reputation for educating people. I personally believe that the only role in that list that really demands respect is the one of 'Youth Worker'.

Working with young people is hard. I am a young person too. I am hard young person to work with. I was a difficult student at school. I went on to be an argumentative University student and then a troublesome student pastor. I've left behind me a whole string of academic institutions that have been somewhat glad to see the back of me.

Now I've been working with hard and difficult young people from campus to streets, from east to North and now in the West- Lagos for the last twelve years (which may be God's way of bringing me back from my own youthful exorbitance). Some of the young people I've worked with have really got their lives together and gone on to do bigger and better things with their life. A number of them have died - mainly from overdoses, carelessness and sexual vises, but also from unrepentant heart toward God their creator. Others I'm still working with. They're just not quite as young as they used to be.

People ask me all the time 'Pastor Edward, what do you think is the biggest problem facing young people today'. Most people think I am going to answer 'drugs'.

I do not consider drugs to be the biggest problem young people are facing today. That's not because I don't think drugs are a big problem. I've worked with a lot of drug-addicted young people over the years from campus to campus. I have been robbed and manipulated by them, and I have watched many of them. Even so, I do not consider drugs to be the biggest problem plaguing our young people.

Some people think 'violence' is the biggest problem facing young people, and I am conscious of the fact that for young guys (in particular) problems of violence can still be a major issue. Violence is not nearly so big a problem in my area as it was five years ago. Problems of violence are alive and well in Lagos Street, and National Campuses. Even so, I do not consider violence to the biggest problem facing young people.
Some people think in terms of lack of employment opportunities as the major issue. Others would speak in terms of family breakdown or problems of prejudice - all real issues. Personally though, I believe that the biggest problem facing our young people today is something a little less tangible. Personally I think the biggest problem I see with our young people is that most of them don't feel themselves to be a part of anything that is bigger than themselves.

Most young people I meet have tragically small horizons, very little ambition, and hence live in very tiny worlds. When I ask teenagers about what they would really like to do with their lives if they could do anything at all, most others speak in terms of getting something, whether that something be a house or a car or a girl or just 'a lot of money'.

No one I speak to says 'If I could do anything I wanted I'd find a cure for cancer' or 'I'd negotiate a peace deal in the country. And this reflects, I believe, the fact that most young people I know have very narrow horizons. Indeed, most young persons I know seem to live in worlds that are not much bigger than themselves.

Go back a couple of generations and most indigenous Nigerians were ready to lay down their lives for their King and Tribes. You wouldn't find many young people today willing to sacrifice themselves for President and country. You won't find many young people who have any real sense of loyalty to the community or to the country. Indeed, if you ask most young people what it means to be a Nigerian, you won't generally get a reply that contains any ideals.

There are positives as well as negatives in this equation of course. Strong patriotism often goes hand in hand with strong prejudice against people of other nationalities. And our Nigerian cynicism towards our governing bodies at least means that we're not easily fooled by political propaganda. Even so, the downside of our 'loss of national identity' means that we've been thrust back upon ourselves and upon our peers to find some sense of personal identity.

Now if you're following me here at all you may well be thinking 'Yeah, Pastor Edward thinks that because he's working with a group of no good loser negative traits addicts. Hell, I don't know what happened to him since he left Bible School, but that guy has been on a one-way downwardly mobile trip. Over here we've really got it all together.' Yeah? I don't know.

One of the most depressing groups of young people I've encountered in the past few years has been at the last Senior Secondary School where I thought Geography in Northern Nigeria.As I thought in different government run selective high school. I won't say which one. NOT THIS ONE! When I first started attending classes in each school there I asked the whole class 'what did they want to be when they finished school?', and almost every person there would say different things. Some, said 'a lawyer', many said ‘a doctor’ and few opt for ‘famer’.

Now people, maybe I've been prejudiced over the years by the enormous amount of time I've spent in juvenile courts and in visiting the prison system, but it seems to me that if we're really on about building a better Nigeria, the last thing we need is more lawyers!
Now I know I shouldn't be black and white about this, but when I went around and asked young people 'why do you want to be a lawyer?' Some of them answered 'because my dad is a lawyer' or something like that, but MOST of them said that it was because being a lawyer was a 'good job', by which they mean what ….? A job that can help a lot of people? NO! When people say a 'good job' they mean a job that makes a lot of money.
There was a time when we used to speak of the 'idealism of youth'. What's happened to that? When did youthful idealism get replaced by this 'I want to make a lot of money' mentality? Why do people who should know better want to make a 'lot of money'? Is it because you think you need a lot of money in order to survive? You don't! Is it because you think 'if I have a lot of money I will be really important and people will look up to me?' GET A LIFE.

Friends I do not think that there is any greater tragedy in this community than a highly trained intelligent young person who has all the gifts and abilities necessary to really make a difference in this society, but who has no idea where to direct those gifts and abilities. It's like having a powerful loaded weapon and not caring where it's aiming when it goes off.

This is the tragedy: that most of our young people, I fear, drug-addicted and non drug-addicted, well educated as well as less well educated, winners as well as losers, live a life wherein 'my life is basically about me'. That's a tragedy.
I see a similar tragedy taking place in the lives of so many of our young people who really have no hopes, dreams or ambitions in this life that go beyond themselves. What a small life to live! It's like trying to beautify the wallpaper in your own solitary cell!
It's this loss of idealism that I see as the greatest scourge afflicting our young people today, and my response to this situation is to teach these young people to fight, which might not seem like the most obvious solution to the dilemma to everybody.

The relevance of fighting to an individual's value system might not be immediately obvious to everyone, but I do seriously believe that pugilism and idealism are intricately linked. The bottom line is that I know that it all works.
I know that I've had an almost 100% success rate when it comes to taking in guys who have serious societal problems or violence problems, that by the time I get them to the side of the ring for a serious fight, they are no longer having problems with stuffs like that or violence or any of those things, but have actually developed a real sense of who they are and what they are on about.

I know it works. I'm not sure I fully understand why it works, but I would note that if you go back to Plato's Republic, to the wisdom of the Ancient Greeks, you'll find that Socrates assigned a very high place to the value of 'themos', which we translate as 'aggression' or 'fighting spirit'.
According to Socrates, no individual and no society is complete without properly developed 'themos'. Individuals and societies need to know how to fight if they are going to know real harmony and real justice.
The other authority I would appeal to today is Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain:
" The consciousness of belonging, vitally, to something beyond individuality … greatens the heart to the limit of the soul's ideal, and builds out the supreme of character."

Chamberlain writes this out of his experience in the American Civil War - one of the most terrible wars in history.
Chamberlain was, ironically, a contemporary and a colleague of William Tecumseh Sherman who coined the phrase 'war is hell' and I don't think Chamberlain would have necessarily disagreed with Sherman. But Chamberlain also found that, for all its horror, war had one very positive side effect - it gave people a sense of belonging to something that was greater than themselves and so it could bring out the best in people.
Of course Chamberlain isn't the only person who’s seen this. My old dears at the church used to say it all the time. "What these young people need is a good war" they used to say. Now they weren't stupid, and they knew as well as anyone else that the last thing we really need is a 'good war', but their point was that they felt young people needed some experience like they'd had in their youth, where they were forced to work together with a broad range of people across the community and to make sacrifices together as they committed themselves to a cause which was something far bigger than any of them as individuals.

Perhaps fighting is not your thing. That's OK. Find another way to get in touch with your ideals and values. Spend more time in church. Head up on a mountain by yourself for a couple of months and just think and pray about it. That works for some people. Just don't be content with a life that has no greater horizon than your own wealth and self-importance.

We live in an extraordinary society in an extraordinary period in human history. Think about it. At how many other points in history, and in how many other places in the world, have any group of people ever had the degree of choice about the future that we have today.
Think about it. The rest of your life lies before you and you can really choose to do with it just about anything you want to! Your options are really only limited by your imagination and your genetic potential. At how many times and places in human history has that been true?
If you were born a few generations back in a village you wouldn't have had these sorts of choices. Your dad was the village Smithy, so that's what you were going to be. If you were born on a farm you were probably going to stay on that farm until you died. If you were a teenage girl you probably already had a couple of kids by now and your path was fully set.

We're at the opposite end of the spectrum now. If you decide to spend the rest of your life entirely devoted to playing your guitar you can do it. You may become a great rock star, but even if you don't you won't starve. Though our government has no safety net that will still support you in the end so that you can keep doing nothing but guitar playing if that's what you really want. Think about that.
If you decide to devote the rest of your life to scientific research you can do that. If that's your vision and you're determined, nobody is going to stop you from giving your life to that.

If you want to devote your life to feeding the hungry and healing the sick you can do that, or if you just want to sit around on your bum all day too, you can do that too! The choice is yours.

But this is our dilemma. Never before in human history have we had such a wonderful variety of choices before us, and never before, I fear, have we had so little idea of what we should choose.
One final illustration from a Fuel Subsidy Protest March: I trust that plenty of you guys made it to the January 2012 Fuel Subsidy Protest March and good on you. Let me mention to you one placard that I heard about at a march. I didn't see it but was told about it. It said "this is worth dying for". I thought that this was very clever at first, but then it occurred to me if fuel is worth dying for, is anything worth living for?
Friends, I believe that there are things worth living and dying for. Find out what they are and live them! Live your life to the full. Fight the good fight. Keep the faith. And the blessing of God Almighty - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit - be amongst you and remain with you always. Amen!

Family / Marriage And Relationship Key: Engage In Good Fights Not Bad Ones by YourFreedom(m): 6:42pm On Aug 24, 2020
By Pastor Edward Freedom


Bad fights can be triggered by anger. Bad fights can involve physical or verbal fights as well as silent fights where you ignore each other for some time to. These bad fights can easily destroy a marriage.

*Dos and Do nots when fighting*

(i) *Do not point fingers*
Avoid using the word "you" during  fights. Instead,  use words that show how you feel. Do not blame your partner for everything. Look at your own mistakes first before pointing a finger.

(ii) *Pick your fights*
Do not fight over petty issues. Don't fight just for the sake. This can hurt the marriage over time.Let your partner know what he/she is doing that annoys you or makes you unhappy and then find a solution together instead of keeping things bottled up.

(iii) *Do not raise past issues*
Always stay on point. Focus on the issue at hand. Raising past issues will only create tension between you and your partner. If it is in the past, forgive and keep it buried.

(iv) *Be mindful of your tone, language and actions*
Do not be quick to raise your voice to your partner. Avoid foul language and name calling as this will lower your partner's self esteem. If you must, walk away to prevent a nasty fight.

(v) *Pick the right time to fight just*
Do not bring up unpleasant issues when your partner is totally worn out from a hard day at work or when they are under pressure from work.

(vi) *Be flexible to resolve fights*
Assist young partner in things they feel they can't find in you. Always take lessons from your mistakes.  As much as possible, never go to bed mad. Fix  your issues before that so that the following day is not shadowed  by ill feelings of the previous day.

Have a lovely Marriage.

Family / 7 Ways To Love Difficult In-laws by YourFreedom(m): 6:07pm On Aug 14, 2020
1. Be Assertive

In-laws seem to have ideas of their own. Out of respect, it is good to listen and sometimes heed your elder’s opinions, but sometimes it’s not a very good idea. So what should you do if you don’t agree with your in-laws? First of all, use discretion in matters that involve a weighty decision. And then be open and honest about your feelings. Don’t try and please your in-laws only to regret it later. Do what you think is best, if it turns out you were wrong, admit your mistake, and go on in dignity.

2. Keep Private

Most of the time, especially if newly married, you might unintentionally involve your in-laws in your family affairs by telling them about your private matters. Or you tell them how you aren’t getting along with their son or daughter. Is it any wonder they are giving you unwarranted advice? If you don’t want something to come back and bite you in the tail later, don’t involve the in-laws in your private family affairs

3. Respect

Some in-laws like to give out a lot of unasked for advice. They may tell you how to cook, what to wear, how to discipline the kids, How to budget your finances, etc. They may treat you as if you are still a child and don’t know any better. In-laws are older than us, but that does not necessarily mean they are wiser. Be respectful at all times, and take what you want and throw the rest out.

4. Detach With Love

Some in-laws are so troublesome, it is a never-ending story trying to get along with them. Besides being assertive with your feelings, detaching is sometimes a must for your own mental health. Some in-laws have addiction problems or other emotional problems and this is where detaching comes in real handy. Detaching with love is not allowing their problems to become your problems. You can detach without being rude or disrespectful. Be supportive and loving at all times but don’t allow their abuse or pain to cause your own attitude to become negative.

5. Set Appointments

Have you ever watched the Ray Romano show? This is a cute, clean comedy that depicts nosy and overbearing in-laws, who barge in without knocking, whenever they feel like it. The daughter in law does not like it that her in-laws just barge right into her home, but she never asserts herself and tells them she doesn’t like it. So they just keep on popping over unannounced. She has set a precedent with them that their behavior is ok. Set schedules times that the in-laws may come over so they aren’t intruding on family time together. This also means that you should never pop on over to their house without being invited first.

6. Set Boundaries

Set boundaries in a respectful fashion without hurting any feelings. For instance, lets say your mother in law showers your children with candy every time she comes over, but you don’t want the kids rotting their teeth out. There is a respectful way that you talk with your in-laws that doesn’t make them feel like you are rejecting them, or that would make them rebel against your wishes. Make them feel appreciated for their actions first, then state your needs. If they still will not oblige by your wishes, keep all the candy they bring over in a bag, and at the end of the year, give it back to them, they’ll get the picture.

7. Talk To Your Spouse

It is important that you talk to your spouse about how you feel. They are your in-laws but it is your spouse’s parents. In-laws will not take you very seriously unless both of you agree and stay consistent with them in regards to your relationship with them.

Family / The Best Way To Preserve Your Marriage – Don’t Cheat! by YourFreedom(m): 5:52pm On Aug 14, 2020
Adultery starts in the heart, even before the act of adultery has ever been committed, it is thought about first by the attitude within our spirit. We may think it is ok to lust, desire and covet others, but we have deceived ourselves. This is why Jesus says to not look at a woman or man lustfully or it will cause adultery, or for the unmarried, fornication.
(Matthew 5:27-28

Lust is an attitude created within the heart and mind of those who have not been taught to believe in God with faith and trust. The moral principles and guidelines that God has given us through scripture are for our instruction. The trouble is most people do not recognize God’s Word for them and they live their lives under their own understanding, which leads to selfish behaviors.

The sin of adultery starts with how we think and what we have been conditioned into believing since a small tot. Even those who go to church and profess to be Christians have fallen along the wayside when it comes to this issue in marriage. Those who are unfaithful in their marriage create immorality for themselves through what they dwell on and their beliefs. If a young boy looks at pornography magazines at the age of 12 years, and views girls and women as sex symbols, what is going to change when he is married and 35 years old?

Unfaithfulness in marriage has caused a lot of grief and suffering to a lot of married people and children. Children, no matter what the age will be affected by a parent’s infidelity. If the unfaithfulness causes a divorce the children will have to bear some of the consequences of a parents sin by being separated from one of their parents. Then they will get a new mom or dad that perhaps will treat them badly and doesn’t care about them. A parent’s selfishness and godlessness will affect the children.

Your spouse is greatly affected too, just by having to deal with the emotions that come from visualizing the person they committed themselves to for life, being with someone else intimately. The best way to preserve your marriage and family is don’t cheat! God did not create people to use their pleasure zones in immoral ways. In fact God created and reserved sex only for marriage. God wants us to enjoy our pleasure zones but with the person we marry.

God has given us the ability to make our own choices in life. We are free to choose purity, love, and commitment for our marriage or we can selfishly not think about those we have created a life with and cheat on our marriage. When you cheat on your spouse it will affect your spirit and it will keep you in the darkness, which is separateness from God and your true source for happiness, abundance and blessings in marriage.

So what is going to change for the 12-year-old boy who believes that it is normal to view naked girls, and to have sex at 14-years old, and when he gets married to cheat on his spouse? What is going to change his view and attitude on what he should feel and think about women and to start viewing his marriage with purity and love?

Absolutely nothing will change for him unless he denies self and allows God to direct his life journey. God will give him or her a new attitude of love, purity and commitment and cheating and other immoralities will be a thing of the past. God does erase our slate but we have to repent of our weakness and start walking in Him. You can preserve your marriage by not cheating.

Ephesians 4:23: That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.


Are you hurting, angry and resentful because your spouse committed adultery? These are normal feelings to have after finding out your spouse has been with another person sexually and emotionally. Having a successful marriage after adultery has four main aspects that need special attention, they are: Forgiveness, Accountability, Managing Emotions and Marriage Restoration. We cover all these issues in How to Forgive a Cheating Spouse. 08036554420

Romance / 5 Reasons Why Having Affairs Outside Your Marriage Won't Work by YourFreedom(m): 12:55am On Aug 13, 2020
What is the purpose for having an affair? Most people would say it is because they like or love the other person they are having the affair with. Think about this. At one time in your life, you also loved the person you married, right? What happened? Some people have affairs and trysts because they allow their negative emotions to control them. Simply put, they listen to their feelings. Sex outside of marriage is a lack of self-control. Self-control only comes from God. No one has the power to defeat the flesh on his or her own.

We all want to be accepted, appreciated and loved and when we don’t get that at home, some of us go out of our way to go get it. But it is morally wrong to go outside the bounds of marriage and enjoy someone other than who we married. So why do some people do it?

Affairs simply don’t work because many times they are just a temporary fling. Marriage is (supposed to be) forever. And if the affair is not temporary, one day you might end up marrying the person you cheated with, and later find out the euphoria of the relationship is gone. And now your new spouse nags about your faults. Now what? Should you cheat on your second spouse now to make yourself “feel” better again?


Affairs don’t work because you’re married. More than half of all affairs dissolve because the cheater wants to repent and work on their marriage. This says something to all of you who get involved with a married person. Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched. Better yet, don’t get involved with a married person.


Affairs don’t usually work because the unmarried partner is desperate for you to divorce your spouse. Their desperate behavior lets you see what kind of a person you have been hanging around with. Sooner or later, if they keep pushing you to divorce your spouse, you’ll leave them and go back to your spouse.


Affairs don’t work because after going through all the trouble of moving out of your house and being the bad guy with your children, you actually feel worse than before. This happens a lot. Adultery is not worth the effort. Have you ever thought about what kind of a person would have an affair with a married person anyway?

The reality is most people who commit adultery wish they wouldn’t have done it. But the minority few cheaters will continue to cheat on all their partners until they are physically unable to. They will never find satisfaction within themselves, so they get it from using and abusing others. Fortunately, this is only the minority, but works for both men and women.



Affairs don’t work because most of the time it is sexual lust that leads the heart to have the affair in the first place. Some people try real hard to find justification for committing adultery or they blame their spouse. This is how powerful feelings can be.
Wrong thinking steers people further and further away from God and closer and closer into sin. A person’s lustful thoughts eventually make him to commit adultery. The need for acceptance and love is so strong in the mind that it leads to sex outside of marriage.

The Lord is with you when you are with him. If you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will forsake you. 2 Chronicles 15:2 NIV)

A person’s infidelity is only the symptom of a greater issue within them. Without seeking out the Spiritual Christ for our spiritual well being, we will remain separate from God and unable to remain self-controlled. We need God!

Choosing to work on your marriage will make you a stronger and better marriage partner in the long run. You can skip all of this game playing with yourself and become the person God intended you to be. God has made us wise enough to make the right choices for ourselves. We can choose to love the person we married or we can follow the ways of the world. Use the gifts God has given you and work on your marriage.

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. Titus 2:11-12

Romance / 4 ways To Guarantee Your Husband Won’t Cheat On You? by YourFreedom(m): 12:37am On Aug 13, 2020
Before we get started with this article, let me get something out in the open. We can’t change our husbands and we certainly cannot control his morals and convictions, but we can influence our husbands by using a little bit of common sense and Godly wisdom. So with that said, try these three ways to maybe guarantee your husband never cheats on you.

1) Stay Connected Emotionally and Spiritually With Your Husband

Marriage is a relationship that involves two people in such a way that whatever you do, good or bad affects the other.  If a wife makes her career, friends, money, hobbies, clothes and other stuff more important than her husband she is disconnecting herself from him emotionally and spiritually. A husband wants to be the most important part of his wife’s life. Don’t separate your life from his.

Emotional adultery starts in the heart and when a husband feels emotionally distant from his wife it is much easier for him to see greener grass on the other side of the fence.  It’s no excuse for adultery and it certainly does not make it right, but reality dictates it will most likely happen in marriages where there is no “togetherness”.

Now a days, married couples unknowingly separate themselves from one another by not having their priorities in balance. In many homes friends, hobbies and careers come first and husband and wife never spend any quality, intimate time together. If you never do intimate and fun things together, you will lose the glue that holds the marriage together.

2) Let Your Husband Be the Man in the Marriage

Many wives don’t realize they are doing it, but they often reprimand, belittle and boss their husbands around like he is one of the children. Are you his mother or his wife? He wants to feel close and intimate with his feminine wife, not his mother, or worse, a dictator. Make your man feel good about his role as “man of the house” and “man of the marriage”, because he is the man and you are the woman. Mixed up roles and feministic attitudes cause confusion, which creates crumbling of the “one flesh” of marriage.

Wives need to stop micromanaging their husbands and let them direct the show for a change. Do you realize that it is wives that need to change? That’s because women walk into marriage with rose-colored glasses on. They think marriage was created just for them and their happiness! When wives nag, complain, control or try to change their husbands they are essentially saying they are not good enough. What a way to make your man impotent with his wife! If you want a virile man that only has eyes for you, then treat your man like a man! Stop treating him like a little boy!

3) Keep Yourself Healthy and Fit

The worse thing a woman can do when married is let herself go. I don’t care if you are 20, 40 or 65 years old, a woman can still make herself beautiful. Beauty is relative, meaning, so what if you are getting older, use it to your advantage to make yourself fit and good-looking no matter what your age. Many women, after they get married or reach a certain age stop taking care of their health and weight and allow themselves to become frumpy and unhealthy.

I know of beautiful women, who are nice and slim, who are between the ages of 50 and 70 and they look great! They walk every day, eat right and take care of themselves. And so can you! There is nothing wrong with getting older, what makes it wrong is not taking care of your appearance and health.  Being healthy should be a priority in your life.  We absolutely need to care about our health because frankly folks, if we don’t have our health, nothing else matters in life because we won’t enjoy it.

Get healthy and be together!! 

4) Don't Withhold Sex

Often times wives behave as if sex is a burden or something. How demeaning is that? The reason why it feels like a burden is because you are not enjoying yourself, which is your own fault. Communication is a must in the bedroom if you want to have a pleasurable sex life. For a healthy man, he needs sex once a day. Other men maybe twice a week, and others still, depending on how old they are a couple of times a month. Ladies, if your man has needs you should be providing those needs, so your husband will not want to stray from the marriage. Now, I'm not saying that will happen just because you deny them sex but it makes temptation more prevalent. 

Seriously ladies, we are managers of our marriage by being the loving wife to our husband. HELPMEET does not mean HELPNOT. The minute we begin withholding ourselves from our man in any way is when he begins to look elsewhere for emotional, physical, mental, and sexual companionship. Take care of your man, and he will take care of you!!!

*Ministry Dedicated to Marriage Healing and Restoration*
Family / If Your Christian Spouse Divorces You, What Is God’s Will For You Now? by YourFreedom(m): 12:25am On Aug 13, 2020
Many women and men write into the ministry in heartbreak letting us know that their spouse, who claims to be a Christian has left the marriage and wants a divorce. This is a very difficult, fearful, frustrating and challenging time for people, especially since they got married thinking they would be married to their spouse for a lifetime commitment.

Many of these Christian people wonder if they should remarry and start all over again, mostly because they do not want to be alone for the rest of their life. But remarriage is not God’s plan for a man or woman whose spouse has divorced them. It is unfortunate that so many “so called” Christian spouses are not behaving very responsibly in the marriage that they started. All I can say is they are VERY confused about God’s purpose and plan for marriage.

I realize that sometimes in marriage it just doesn’t work out because a spouse continues to commit adultery, or walks out of the marriage, or is adamant about a divorce. If a spouse demands a divorce and or trespasses against the marriage repeatedly, it is of my firm belief that they have been misinformed in the Christian church about God’s plan for marriage

What Does God Think About Divorce?

God hates divorce and says so in scripture. "For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away..." —Malachi 2:16

"Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." —Matthew 19:6

In the few instances where a spouse truly does not want to work on the marriage and insists on a divorce, what can you do? Just let them go. Do not undermine your faith or beliefs because of an unbelieving spouse. Your only recourse at this point is to just let your spouse do what they feel they need to, hoping that one day they will come back to God. They have a hardened heart and do not know that divorce is not God’s plan.

Scripture talks quite a bit about divorce and lets us know that God designed marriage as a permanent relationship. The problem is many couples go into marriage with the wrong attitude. They think that marriage is going to solve their problems, or make them happy, or they think they can change their spouse but these things are not realistic. We must be prepared for a lifetime marriage and seriously know what God’s will is BEFORE we get married.

Can My Spouse Divorce Me if I Commit Adultery?

In Matthew chapter 5 Jesus explains what marriage “used” to be like before Him, in the days of old. Moses made a law that allowed men to divorce their wives if they gave them a certificate of divorce. God did not tell Moses to enact this new divorcement law; he just went ahead and did it because he felt he had too. Unbelieving husbands were throwing their wives out into the streets, literally.

Now in the New Testament, Christ says the days of old are no more: “It hath been said, whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. (Matthew: 5:31-32)

Does this mean that if a spouse commits adultery it is ok to get a divorce? As much as the churches would like to believe and preach that divorce is ok if a spouse commits adultery, the study on it shows otherwise. If you look closely at this scripture it uses the word “fornication” not “adultery”. ”Whosever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery. Matthew: 5:32

What is fornication? Fornication is when you are not married yet—it is sex between two unmarried people. Doing more research on this study it shows that Jesus was talking to the Jews about the permanency of marriage. It was the custom back then for Jewish couples to be called husband and wife that were betrothed (engaged), which according to custom was almost like being married. But they had not consummated the marriage.

So the scripture is talking about couples who are not yet married, but are only betrothed. You could put away your betrothed wife or husband, if they committed adultery BEFORE the consummation period but not after. Jesus was letting them know that marriage is a permanent commitment.

God Takes Marriage Very Seriously
Yes, God takes marriage very seriously and for good reason, it is the symbol of the relationship between Christ and the true church. In fact we are to glorify this example of Christ and the church with our marriage! It is not a contract that can be broken like men do with contracts today. There is no dissolution of marriage no matter what either party has done in the marriage. But, here again, if the unbelieving spouse insists on leaving let them go. It would cause much ado to argue, fuss, and fight with someone who is adamant about leaving the marriage. Pray for them and perhaps they will come to their senses sooner than too late.

“But if the unbelieving depart let them depart. A brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.” (1 Corinthians 7:15)

Understand though, that just because you are “state” divorced from your spouse does not however mean to get remarried. It is God’s will for the Christian man or woman whose spouse divorced them to remain single and do God’s work rather than jump into another marriage. In fact remarriage is not even mentioned in the bible because in God’s eyes you are still married to your divorced spouse. So then you are not really single and available, and if we want to please God we should strive to do his will and serve him in whatever capacity that He has gifted us with.

“The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord. But she is happier if she so abide, after my judgment: and I think also that I have the Spirit of God.” (1 Corinthians 7:39-40)

Family / How To Cope With A Cheating Spouse by YourFreedom(m): 11:32pm On Aug 12, 2020
The Christian community needs to reflect upon this article and put it into practice if they want to see change happening in the home. It is up to the Christian community to bring back marriage and family values. I am sorry to say that many Christ Ones have lost their way and are not heeding God’s message on marriage.

What do most Christian people do when they discover their spouse had or is having an affair? They ultimately go to their friends, family and or pastor of their church and publicly expose their spouse’s sin. This would be ok if any of these people could actually do something to help. Going to these venues does nothing to heal the relationship and in some instances can be more detrimental to the marriage. Let me explain.

If you go to your church and publicly expose your spouse’s infidelity, the church will most likely tell you to divorce your spouse because of this scripture. “And I say unto you, whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery…”  (Matthew 19:cool

Except it be for fornication is not talking about married couples but betrothed couples. Betrothed couples were also considered husband and wife. Betrothal is the commitment leading up to the actual marriage. It was Jewish custom for young couples to be betrothed before being marriage because of age, maturity, and or financial reasons. The father arranged the marriage and if the father saw a good match for his daughter they were betrothed.

In the scripture above Jesus was talking with the Jewish community about betrothed couples, which were known as husband and wife. If one of the betrothed couples committed fornication it was allowed to get a divorce and not peruse the actual marriage. In other words, this scripture is NOT a loophole for divorce. Many good Christian people have been mislead to believe that this scripture (Matthew 19:cool gives justification for divorce.

Marriage according to God, the One who created and established marriage gives no escape from marriage, and that is because marriage is a lifetime commitment. Once we are married we are married until our spouse dies, then we are free to remarry, but we must marry in the Lord. “The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will, only in the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 7:39)

Now if you go to your friends and family they will be biased towards you and your happiness because well-meaning friends and family love you and want what is best for you and they will tell you to divorce your spouse. But we just learned that adultery does not give justification for divorce and that marriage is for a lifetime.

I realize that some of you are married to ongoing adulterers. What can you do? You are married to an unbeliever and God tells us what to do about that. “But to the rest I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away. And the woman, which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him” (1 Corinthians 7:12-14)

God’s ideal would be for the believing spouse to be the shining light of Christ and help the unbeliever in their wayward ways. It is God’s will that couples do all they can to work on restoring the marriage. “For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by her husband, else were your children unclean, but now are they holy.” (1 Corinthians 7:14)

Yet, no wife or husband should continue to serve an unbeliever, who is not willing to repent and come into the Lord Jesus Christ. If you have prayed about reconciliation and have remained patient in the Lord and asked for healing and restoration of your marriage and the unbelieving spouse still remains in adultery or committing adultery then let them leave the marriage, so as to not weaken your own faith in Christ. “But if the unbeliever depart let him depart. A brother or sister is not under bondage in such cases. (1Corinthians 7:15)

The above scripture does not mean to “get a divorce” but means you are not under bondage to serve the unbeliever in the marriage—let them go. If God meant to get a divorce, it would say that. Nowhere in the bible does it talk about remarriage. This is why it is so important for Christians to marry equally yoked Christians and not to rush into marriage! Marrying unbelievers causes numerous marital problems and suffering. 

We are called to forgive our enemies. For some this is hard to grasp, but it makes so much sense.

I want my spouse to forgive me when I sin

I want God to forgive me when I sin

I am to forgive others as Jesus Christ has forgiven me? (Colossians 3:13)

I am to treat my neighbors (spouse, family friends, acquaintances, strangers) in the way I would like to be treated?

If I hold a grudge against another I will not be forgiven? (Mark 11:25)

Forgiveness is one of the keys that open our hearts to God where true freedom from being a slave to sin can be found. Did you know NOT forgiving is a sin and it brings sin into our lives because of carrying around a bitter heart? Even if your spouse continues to commit sin against the marriage, you need to forgive them—it is for your own spiritual enlightenment.  Adulterer’s need to come back into the faith and repent. Walk your Christian walk and be the Christian that God wants you to be!

I’m going to quote from one of my articles here because it is so true: “It is not getting a divorce that will make everything all better but staying married to your first spouse, working through the problems and learning from them. When couples resolve to work on the marriage it involves long-suffering. It involves determination and compromise, and it involves commitment, and doing the right thing, even if husband and wife are suffering for it.  He rewards them with strength and faith in Him and with personal character and spiritual resolve, both of which benefit the marriage considerably.”

“Consider it a pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking in anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him”. (James 1:1-5)

Business / List Of Best Auditing Companies In Lagos by YourFreedom(m): 5:09pm On Jun 13, 2020
The importance of auditing cannot be overstated. A good auditor is not only able to clear your issues quickly, but also helps you improve your company. Although the main reasons for a financial audit have to do with business and legalities, you shouldn’t forget the psychological aspect that is very important when dealing with other entities, such as banks, clients and shareholders. If you conduct regular audits, you will generate more confidence from the people you work with, as well as with government institutions.

There is a long list of reasons why you should have regular audits, but the most important ones involve accountability and good business practices.

1. You Will Have a Detailed Overview
Once the auditors have concluded their findings, you’ll have the final report in your hands. From here, you will have a complete picture of how your business is working.

2. Receive an Additional Perspective
People - inlcuding yourself - can become complacent, even in the best possible team.

3. Improve Your Credit Rating
If you have a solid and expanding business, it is best for your bank, shareholders, and investors to know everything about it.

4. Become More Reliable
If you own a larger company that has upper management or corporate investors, regular audits can provide reliability in your statements and inspire assurance that everything in your business is going as planned.
Even if you are a small business or just starting out, you will benefit greatly from the reliability your company will portray to the tax officials. They will be able to rely on your audited financial statements to reach their conclusions about your level of taxation or other matters from their area of interest.

5. Be Certain Where Your Company Is Going
With a professionally conducted financial audit, you will have much more information about which parts of your business are going smoothly and which ones require a bit of tightening up.

6. Promote Accountability
Additionally, you can use the auditor’s report to promote accountability for the managers and employees in your company.
