Its a great feature, BBM will surely be licking there wounds when you consider the came out before WhatsApp..

Dude BBM already has this feature, long press on a chat and select "quote" and viola! You are there!

You're welcome by the way.

If she is guilty of the charges then she must do the time.
The day we all man or woman up to our actions and responsibilities is the day the world will become a better place.
Even if doing a week would set her free I wouldn't. That is wrong, and I cannot suffer for an offence I did not give.

What would stop her from committing a similar crime again in future?

One question:
If you're told that the next time you sleep with Steve u'd die right there under him, would u go on ahead and continue?
If your answer is "no", then it means you have simply refused to do the right thing simply because you are weak in mind, morals and character.

And if your answer is "yes", then it means you are ready to die for ur sensual addictions, not your ideals.

Break up with Joey, if you can't stop sleeping with Steve, else you will be less than a dog, not because you can't control your sexual urges, but because you are violating a man's love and trust in you, and trust me even a dog will never ever do that!

Latest OS update is available for everyone, unlike Android, high of people using Android have not even upgrade to Android 5 yet they released OS 6 and working on releasing 7 (who does that?)

Seriously dude I don't know where they are rushing to...

Unlike android, Windows is a real Operating System with efficient memory management. U can have an android phone with 3GB RAM and an octacore processor, and it will still hang or reload apps when you leave them for others (thereby eating your data), but a Windows phone with just 512MB RAM will manage your resources so efficiently you'd wonder...

The Interface isn't as straightforward as the android (hence the belief that Windows phones are for intelligent people), but once you take time to understand it, you'll be fine. There's also the fact that there aren't as much apps and games as android and iPhone stores, so consider that as well...

Windows 10 is something else! Have that in a phone and you're onto something else!

I do wish windows 10 for desktop can have live wallpapers like android does, that'll make my computer come alive in a new way...

When next you are angry, count to 10 before you speak (or act/react).
If you are very angry, count to a hundred.

Hope this helps.

And after bragging they will rule for another 50 years, how are the mighty fallen!
I guess when you refuse to humble yourself, your downfall, as was your uprising, is quietly inevitable.

If Jesus paid tax being the Head of the church and the Firstborn of all things, then why can't the church which is His body.
I support it wholeheartedly!

Most churches today are afraid of paying taxes because they are afraid of the world finding out the truth - that they have turned the church from a house of prayer to a den of theives.

But not to worry, Christ will soon return with a sword in His Mouth to judge all who deceived His flock and befriended the world instead of changing it with love and the good news.

Come quickly Lord Jesus!

A lady at 17 in medieval times would already be a mother of 2 or 3; her body mature for childbearing, her mind ripe for the responsibilities of woman and motherhood. They became women right from the ages of 12 (traditional history has it Mary the earthly mother of Jesus gave birth to Him when she was 14).

A lady at 17 in our generation may still be thought of as a child, but her body is already ripe for childbearing.

My point is she is way past being flogged to instill the fear of pain that would come to her as a consequence of wrongdoing. That would work on children but not on her at this point.

When I was 12 I came to know that getting flogged would not kill me, and understanding that the pain was always temporary, I decided to do whatever I believed was right in my own eyes and braced myself for the consequences. The result - I was flogged often, but as I decided never to show any expression of pain during and after the correctional activity, many believed I didn't feel pain at the time (some would even label me as a cane-chester and would love to see me get into trouble so they could compare my skill with other populars), and over the years my parents and teachers while they would flog others would seek other ways of punishing me for my actions (which they judged was wrong at the time). I probably cut more grass than most on this forum in my secondary school days...

Had I people who would have counseled me well I would not have made the mistakes that tainted my teenage years, believing that the pain that came via flogging would never fully implant itself on the consciousness of my being.

But now that I know better I would recommend the lady be punished, corrected and mentored in love.

This would be no easy task but it is infinitely better than inflicting wounds on a lady's tender body that would probably never make her regret or want to atone for her wrongdoing.

Would that all youth children learn and become enlightened at an early age so they don't get to make the mistakes we made when we were like them (which we are trying to prevent them form doing in the ways we believe is right).

The world would be a much better place if they knew that most times their brains are still developing and as such they can only process one thought or consequence of choice at at time. Which is why a proverb gossips ever so fervently that what an elder sees sitting on a stool a child that climbs an iroko tree can never see.



SELAH

Loneliness is a sadness inflicted on your soul by your mind, brought about by a realization, stemming from the acceptance of a trick being played on you; simply because physically at the time you have no friends or company with you to interact with.

The overall theatric is to make you feel you are not worth anyone's time, hence the consequence; a sad feeling, sugar coated with an emotional state ladened with a thin layer of foreboding, like a woman in labour, refusing to mask its pains that end up filling the void in your soul with a negative pleasure akin to torture.

And why would your mind trick you into thinking you have no value and hence nobody wants to be around you?
The answer is as simple as remembering your name after waking up to the pleasant atmosphere of a good morning; you have allowed your mind to actually control your emotional state and hence, your reality.

I cannot and can never get lonely. Its been years since I attained such a state. Not that I live around friends or family, or that I am constantly surrounded by people. No, I am the type of person that loves to exist in his own world, I find solitude a wonderful platform to conduct research and meditate deeply; it is a most comfortable state where I can be free from the distractions that stem from the incalculable variables that arise from the pursuit and presence of company.

Why can I never get lonely?

I task my mind, ever so often, ever so strictly I engage it. I create scenarios and ask myself for solutions, and combining it with empathy and a logic yet to be disvirgined by the ravaging beserkness that is epileptic emotions I found and caress schools of thought in a bid to come to a most mature and logical theory and ideal which would resolve the situation.

Sometimes I employ a critique in my mind who criticizes my thought patterns, looking for loopholes in my ability to reason, after which it further criticizes any new improved idea I bring forth and then it criticizes its own thoughts with regards to the issue at hand, this back and forth criticism over time enables me to express schools of thought that would seem very alien and unheard of to others but will still boast of Truth unbiased by sentiment.

Other times I invest in my self value by acquiring new skills and learning new things; Research is another of my passions. Combining it ever so perfectly with Meditation and an uncontrollable Lust for Enlightenment I seek to increase my self value exponentially over time, in a bid to positively corrupt the world with a wisdom that is not only alien and forbidden, but also pregnant with Truth and Reality.

Another thing I did is I discovered my purpose (the reason why I exist as a spirit being and was born into this chronological plane) in my late teens. And as a result of this, taking into account the fact that I also taken great pains to discover my self, accept my strengths and weakness and embraced the reality of my geographical location of placement, family and background, it is difficult for me now to engage in calculated frivolities and excesses of the human whim that, if left unchecked would escalate into a binding and unwinding probability of disaster to myself and my life on earth.

Simply put, because I have discovered myself and my purpose, I am more in tune with the different facets of my spirit being, a low self esteem (that seeks to reward and mask itself with the pleasures of the company of others) no longer courts my attention. I am fully and firmly engaged in the pursuit of my purpose alongside my quest to attain all wisdom and all enlightenment before I die.


To summarize my dear:
To counter this trickery that we have named loneliness you need to first of all discover yourself; who you are, your purpose, your strengths and weakness, in a nutshell discover to a large extent the composition of your essence and its relativity others and with eternity.

You also need to task your mind with good things, improve on your overall self value, drown yourself in your hobbies and be a woman of Light (cook your internal virtues till they explode with a vengeance aimed at your continuous churning, that will be filled with a sweet smelling savour that all will come to acknowledge and be drawn to the moment your aura mingles with theirs). Just like a tree will bend itself just so it can feel the rays of the sun on its face, people will seek out your inner light and would bend themselves and their principles just to be within range of your illumination (which some call charisma, others favour, others conqueror Haki)

To be alone and not lonely is a feat difficult to attain, but you must strive to achieve this, so, even when you are surrounded by lots of people, she (loneliness) will not be able to take advantage of you and whatever state and latitude you find yourself, you, like an atom will be able to exist alone and still retain your most individual characteristics.

If we are to live our lives by right and wrong, some things will never get done, as we do not have the technology or structure in our 3rd world country to live and thrive like our counterparts.

These things I won't call them sin, because the regulatory bodies in effect know about these things but have allowed us to continue in them. As long as we don't use these "cheats" as you call them to destroy lives, hurt others and offend the majority, I guess its fine. If we can use these resources to make the world a better place for the meantime I guess heaven won't mind.

Wisdom is profitable to direct; my answer is do what you can to advance yourself and then when we get there we will create a structure whereby others won't have to do what we did, cos the structure we would create will make the internet and informational resources free or almost free for all.

SELAH!

A woman who chooses to live in fear of you cheating on her, interrogates you and your friends with respect to ladies you converse with, then decides to go out with a guy in a bid to make u jealous, is not someone you would obviously enjoy a healthy relationship / courtship with.

Reason: She is insecure, emotionally unstable and mentally immature. Her self esteem obviously on an all time low.

If you love her and choose to nurture her, helping her believe in herself first, then you and your relationship, this is very fine with me.
But you have to get her to work on her self-esteem. It is obvious she believes she is not beautiful, or bright, or has much to offer you to keep u loving her, hence the fear that you will eventually leave her for someone better than her (in her own childish eyes).

The fact that she cheated on you to force you into loving her the more is an indication of how far she can go in future to protect her self interests (and not yours).

Am not sure your loving, cherishing and nurturing her to be a better person would work out; but I would recommend you give her a second chance, but not before she realizes her stupidity and repents of her wrongdoing.

Women may pretend about it, but the only thing they have in this world is their love (and not necessarily their self-image {a prostitute will not care how the world sees her as long as her man loves her and does it deeply and openly}), they feel once they give it out, they are defenseless with nothing else left to give or live for, the fact that she has given her love to you, albeit how childish she may seem is an indication that she is not ready to lose you. Coupled to the fact that she reported herself to you (which exposes her honesty to you and the world), I think you should believe the best in her and permit her another chance to love you and herself.

There are no perfect women out there; there are only women that will take the love you have given them and multiply it by a particular amount and give it back to you. Your love for her may yet be the spark that keeps your relationship alive.

By the way I love your maturity; someone else may have acted differently and thus added further complicated the issue.

SELAH!

a pastor is another fancy name for a "shepherd", so, it is within his or her job description to take care of his or her sheep, nurture them and bring them up in the faith and admonition of our Lord.

a pastor should have and manifest at least 2 of the 9 manifestations of the gifts of the Ghost Of Holies (speaking in unknown tongues being one of them), thus allowing him to be used and directly manipulated by God to edify the body of Christ.

This aside, he has no power to decide my future; he can only provide counsel and prophecy by word of wisdom and word of knowledge (what some others call clairvoyance, ESP or precognition).

Now the future comes to us an hour at a time, with the gifts of the Spirit he may be able to see when I am to get married or who I am to marry but he cannot or rather should not decide when the event will happen. Our lives have already been lived; as already witnessed by the Eyes of He who sees all possible futures within all conceivable timelines (its just like watching a replay of your favourite match; you know how it will play out and who will score, but the players in the match {at that moment} do not know), and when it is time for my marriage or wedding to manifest, prophecy will be given or revelation, so we can prepare ahead of time. This is why we are encouraged to earnestly covet spiritual gifts so with the influence of YHVH (YAHWEH) we can under His influence project our consciousness forward into time so we can see what happens (before it does or as it should)...

So, my pastor cannot decide for me the chronologically estimated future-history of my wedding that has already been written before time (the interruption of eternity) began. Spiritual technicality tells me he lacks the authority and ability to do so. If he can see the actual time, month, year or date and tell me, fine, but, he cannot just choose a random date for me absent divine instruction and revelation because he is my spiritual father.

But should you choose to allow him do so, I guess there is no problem as long as you are also aware and sensitive to the leading of the Spirit (so you can know if he didn't see it well) or if you are not sensitive, you are prepared for the challenges that would germinate from allowing someone else decide a future for you that should be his or your responsibility to spiritually discern. For me I'd rather see things accurately before they happen, as I don't do damage control.

A lot of us are spiritually deaf and blind (due to our own choice) so we would rather have someone who we regard as a "man of God" "see" our futures and plan our lives for us. Just remember you can always and easily discern your future and God's plan for your life as he or she would have, if you are ready to seek God out. Sometimes we may not see it clearly or accurately, but I believe if we blind ourselves to presumptuous sin and distractions we can hear the very will of God and see our destiny through Heaven's eyes.

SELAH!


For those who find my post too religious or spiritual, please bear with me; I am a christian by default (it means if you shut me down and restart me my default settings would always revert to me walking in the consciousness of the supernatural and the prophetic), so, feel free to bash my head over with your religious (or not) school of thought as well; I love headaches that stem from my mind trying to expand beyond its current level of enlightened elasticity.

easyhopes:

It's still selling fast,
Faster delivery everywhere,
Call,txt,whatsapp 08078544505 for urs

Pls do not patronize or do business with easyhopes for any reason whatsoever!

His incompetence in service delivery is not only thought provoking (to say the least); it is mind blowing!

First of all he doesn't pick his calls 99% of the time. Then when he does and the call cuts due to bad network he doesn't call back. He assumes if you need a product u have to always call him and order.

Secondly he is not honest.
I made an order for the leap 2 with pen and the keyboard case specifically asking him if the accessories were available on jumia (as it is almost impossible to enjoy it without the accessories), he told me it was available and told me i could go and pick up my items. I got there only to be told the pen and the keyboard case were not available and when i finally was able to get across to him he told me he knew they were not available and admitted lying in order to get me to purchase the item absent the leap 2's accessories.

Manipulation of information for the sole purpose of making sales is not only an evil in and of itself but is showcases a desire to dupe and defraud fuelled by an ambition to succeed at all costs.

Ok, so he lied just to get me to make a purchase on his tab, I immediately lost trust in his credibility so I hunted for a universal pen on konga and (in a bid to give him a second chance) told him to place an order for me there, 3 days later I hadn't heard from him and the items hadn't been delivered to me.

The thing about easyhopes is he doesn't carry you along, he has bad customer care etiquette, he lies, hides and manipulates information just to get you to make purchases and he rarely communicates with u via chat realtime; you may have to chat him up and go make eba and have a siesta before he will reply and that can take like half of forever.

I expressed my frustration with his incompetence in a bid to get him to render a good service for once in his life only for him to assume foolishly I was no longer interested in an order I had deliberately asked him to get for me.

Almost two weeks later easyhopes is yet to reach me or even chat me up at all and I am yet to get my order delivered to me.

The leap 2 I purchased I am frustrated using it and I am also frustrated with online shopping solutions thanks to one of their inexperienced, half baked marketers.

if you do business with easyhopes then there is no hope for you enjoying his services.

Another misleading name for a useless, unedifying thread, how is a manequin a lady? The OP and mod should have their IQs and sense of humor examined.
I do hope u make some meaning out of ur lives as u foolishly and deliberately prompt others to waste theirs via a calculated act of deceit all in a bid to draw cheap traffic and attention to urselves.

the answer is simple; because they have been told its the right thing to do.

The media, movies, music sung by our immature artists together with peer pressure can make even a good youth succumb to the foolishness of dating someone he or she has no plans of even settling down with.

Guys going into relationships for sex and ego-boost while girls going into relationships for money and self-esteem definition and or redefinition.

It is an evil in our generation, but the truth is nothing can be done about it except we re-orientate our youths.
In a country where everyone is chasing after money and prosperity all in the name of divorcing poverty once and for all, how do we go about changing the mindset of our youths from doing such?

SELAH (pause and think camly)

You are a nice guy - noted!
You finish last - noted!

But let me ask - who is your target market? Matured women (whose consciousness stink of purpose and enlightenment) or overgrown children?

It may be all the women you are meeting are trash, it may be they are different or have different ideas of how their man should be, or it may just be you are doing something that's subconsciously or consciously ticking the ladies off.

For me, as long as you are God-fearing, humble, a visionaire (a man with a vision), neat and intelligent with touch of enlightenment, you are fine!

Do not give up being nice or gentlemanly because women are leaving you for other guys; a lot (not all) of women are emotional junkies that love to get high on their own supply of whatever grants them temporary but unstable, emotional excitation, hence a lot of women will tell you what they want from a man but don't know what they need from a man.

Examine yourself and have your good friends do the same, any character flaws or habits that may tick women off should be discarded (for some it may be body odour, bad breath, a lack of etiquette, a lack of cleanness or a large but silent feeling of arrogancy absent decorum). The thing is even if you exhibited all these qualities a woman who believes in you will cook you till you churn out good.

One more thing; do not use your job, your looks or the fact that you have an apartment as a yardstick for determining the traffic of ladies that will follow you. Be successful in all you and if you can go the extra mile, strive for excellence in all you do rather that just striving to be successful. Just like the way a shark can smell a drop of blood 400 miles away a woman can smell a man going places even if his day of manifestation is still 10 years ahead of his present.

Then again it may not be time for you to marry, my brother I can assure you when it is time, even the elements and the very fabric of our reality will move themselves to usher into your arms the woman most suitable and adaptable to you and your purpose; she will love you and want to bring out the best in you. It may be till then you will struggle to find the right lady. But as you incessantly work at being mature enough to proudly be called and labelled a man, don't stop being nice, and don't listen to those who advice you otherwise, cos when everything goes south and you come back here to ask for advice for you newly found predicament, they will still laugh at you and probably give u even more self destructive advice.

And for the record good guys don't finish last; if you can't take my word for it go and ask Joseph, Daniel, Winston Churchill, Theodore Roosevelt, what am I saying? You don't even need to go too far, just head to aso rock and ask our dearly beloved GEJ!

Pastor Adeboye is a man of God no doubt. His humility, lifestyle of holiness and spiritual levels of enlightenment are unique and worthy to covet.
But I believe he is probably just trying to be diplomatic about the results of the upcoming elections.

You cannot tell me only God knows our next president, or who will rule nigeria for the next 4 years.
Whatever God wants to do, He reveals it to us His children by means of His Spirit.

"But God has revealed them (the hidden things He has prepared for us) unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yeah the deep things of God." 1 Corinthians 2:10 (KJV)

Our Pastor probably knows the confusion and trouble that would emanate if He prophesied who will inevitably emerge president of the next elections, so, in a bid to prevent trouble, he remains silent.

Its difficult for me to believe that he believes only God can know the outcome of the election and keep such revelations hidden from His own children and prophets.

"Surely the Lord will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets." Amos 3:7 (KJV)

Personally, I have been taught how to hear from God, and over the years after speaking the unknown tongues of men and angels I often project my consciousness forward into time to ascertain possible futures of events that are yet to happen. It helps me avoid trouble, give counsel, pray and sometimes prepare myself and others for the inevitable. Medicine after death and handling damage control ain't my style, hence the need for revelations from God (or clairvoyance as the world knows it).

Now I am not tribalistic, I am not racist neither am I a religious fanatic.
I have nothing for Jonathan neither do I have anything against Buhari.

But in all of the possible futures I have seen GEJ continues to rule this country for the next 4 years. Take note of my statement "he continues to rule", this means whatever the outcome of the elections he remains our president. Buhari may indeed win the elections but he did not become president. The reason for such I choose not to ascertain, what I do know is that in the wake of GEJ succeeding himself there was destruction and death in nigeria, the likes of which has not been seen before.

We need to pray so as to reduce the bloodshed that will come as a result of the outcome of the elections because I see 3 months of destruction and death (and its looking like march, april and may).

I do not say this to frighten anyone; I say this so we can prepare and pray to avert and or reduce killings that awaits us in the timeless future that second by second awaits our arrival to catch up with it.

God wants to help nigeria but His Will cannot be effected if we don't pray it into manifestation.

God help our leaders to act maturely whatever the outcome of the elections cos in the end it is the populace that will suffer at the hands of selfish and evil terrorists acting out their ideals all in the name of power that they cannot wield in their sleep.


SELAH

This is a very interesting question, but I believe we should be asking everyone and not just men, because truth is we all are guilty of telling lies and falsifying information.

Personally I believe to discover reasons why we lie we, need to ask ourselves why God does not tell lies (we are created in His Divine Image, and before our physical manifestation on earth, being birthed into time (which is an interruption of eternity), we were ideas created and existing in His Divine Mind, waiting for the most opportune moment for our expression.

God cannot lie, have you wondered why?

Permit me to explain. The reason He cannot lie (from which we will easily discover why we do) is because God is All Powerful.
He reeks of Power, He commands Power, In fact to some, He is Power (living Energy) that has developed a consciousness over the eons {(which is a length of time so long it cannot be measured)} (as energy cannot be created or destroyed, becoming infinite, invisible and intangible).

God cannot lie because what He says happens.

Allow me to elucidate; God tells u He will be at your house by 9am. He wakes up by 8:55am (pls go along with me), the truth is Time itself will refuse to go beyond 9am until God reaches your house. Why? Because the very fabric of eternity and the very elements that define our universe and multiverse dread the very thought of directly accusing YHVH (whom we call YAHWEH [because it is almost impossible to pronounce His Name absent vowels]) and His words (His Will) of not coming to pass.

God can easily get dressed, teleport and get to your house before 9am, because He is All Powerful, "He created all things and by Him does all things consist" (Colosians 1:17) but these atmospheric elements and guardians have assumed a silent conspiracy that His words must never fall to the ground of failed manifestation.

Another example is God talking to you and saying "Oh what a wonderful sunday christmas evening!" when it is tuesday morning in the month of July. At the instant the words are out of His Mouth, believe me, all of a sudden it will be sunday (time will leap into the future, appointing the sunday most close to christmas and affixing itself on the 25th of Decemeber), the harmattan, apperaring suddenly and without warning, will choke your skin, taunting it for a shiver or an attempted attempt to cover your chest from the cold, the morning will hurriedly step aside, ushering the evening into our reality and that christmas feeling we all have felt will without warning overwhelm you, ladened with wonderful memories of other yuletide experiences to impromptly create in you the notion that you are in a festive mood, all this because the Words of God, pregnant with Omni Potent power will effortlessly warp our reality, or the very elements themselves will see to it that His words do not fall to the ground or on their deaf ears.

Logos tells us the seas saw Him and fled; I imagine the seas seeing Him and saying "Sire, permit us to flee (in becoming fear) in awe of YOU.

Now back to the ladies question,

Why do we lie?

1. Because we believe we are not all-powerful; we lie because we believe we are weak, and we lie to cover up our weaknesses.

A lady believes she is not beautiful physically, she wears fake butt pads, fake hair, fake eyebrows and eye lashes, adorns high heels and becomes a Picasso, her face the canvas, over dressing with jewelry and flamboyant gowns to impress her fellow ladies and under dressing to impress men (attracting children and dogs [who desperately believe they are men] in the process), all in a bid to give an appearance of a beauty she does believes she does not so naturally possess, believing if she can cover up her weakness of not being so beautiful physically, she can be accepted by society, and that hole in her heart that she believes only their acceptance can fill, will be.

A man promises you he will be at your place in an hour, two hours later you are calling him, he is still at home. Because he cannot teleport or suddenly appear before you, he rushes outside his house on seeing your incoming call and tells u (under the ambiance of a noisy atmosphere) that he is on his way and is in traffic, because, having acquired your acceptance of his persona and existence, he can risk deceit in a bid to preserve it.

2. We also tell lies because we sometimes lack the power to enforce our promises, our ideals and our dreams.
The second example I gave is a perfect example of this.

If we were All Powerful as God is we would not be able to lie, as our words will immediately be acted upon by the elements and the keepers of such, and sin, being just a temporary means of self gratification [(being used by evil as a means of ensuring and continuously voicing her existence so as not to be forgotten or discarded in every eternity)], born out of a desire to be comforted or pleasured in the pursuit of purpose and fulfillment, becomes unnecessary.

This is why God cannot lie, and this is why God cannot sin, having the power to do infinitely beyond our mental ability to explore endless possibilities and realities within the borders of our imagination (OmniPotence), the power to be and exist in every possible atomic space of the fabric of the atmospheres, at every possible calibration of time (within and without eternity) (OmniPresence) and the unimaginable, fearsome power to effortlessly possess and harness all knowledge and all wisdom (OmniScience), you cannot but admit it; our GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD!


I believe it is possible to attain this God-dom temporarily or permanently in this corrupted body, in our lifetime via a life of Holiness mingled with Enlightenment, Charity and an insatiable desire for His Manifested Presence. This is why He sacrificed His Son on a tree, that we may know Him, and become the fullness of His Power and Might, even within our adamic-natured, sin-corrupted, organic, physical interactive construct (our bodies).

Please forgive me for my long post,

Also forgive me if your spiritual orientation is not akin to mine. I do not seek to force it down the throats of your reasoning and if you believe I have done so even if ever so slightly, I humbly apologize.

Also forgive me if you do not believe in the existence of He who inhabits eternity, impregnating her with the fullness of His Being and His Divinity, she birthing the space-time continuum, and we His OffSpring that He predestined to take our place in the Grand Play-let He has orchestrated before the foundations of the world were drawn. Your doubt of His existence does not affect reality.

Hope I actually helped answer the question.

Sorry the post is long once again; in a bid to compare spiritual things with spiritual, I tend to overdo expressing my thoughts.

SELAH!

Men love sex; to them its their means of communication, women on the other hand see conversation as their own means of communication (which must be made via words, money, touch, etc before sex), and since such conversation cannot be easily mingled in the heat of sex (in a bid for both parties to reach a compromise and enjoy their means of communication), we have the oldest job in the history of the world never having the risk of going extinct; prostitution.

There are multiple methods to the madness of the OP, his 5 schools of thought arguable, reasonable and truthful.

Prostitution should be frowned at anyways, especially if it is perpetrated by men who have tied the untie-able knot of wedlock. It is left to their wives to be wise and do all they can to keep them from such a vice as whoremongering. In an age where harlots can easily be reached online they need more than ever before to pleasure their husbands in the comfort of the matrimonial bed before someone does their work for them.

Would to God that wives won't just sit back believing the unpopular phrase that "a man chases a woman until she catches him" has taken effect in their marriage. A man once sexually active must continue to receive sexual excitation and stimulation from his wife continously else they will seek for it elsewhere. His sexual cravings are not subject to menopause or hindered by the lack of feeling of wholesomeness women love to feel before they can sleep with their husbands, so a woman's work of constantly guarding her husband from appetizing dick-stractions never ends.

It will be very, very difficult for a man to cheat on his wife if she gives him a good oral before he goes to work and promises him a night he won't forget when he comes back home. I can assure you even if a woman seduces him at work he won't oblige why? Because his mind is already at work, shamelessly fantasizing the various atrocities his one and only love will render to his manhood when he gets back home (not to mention devouring his best food served to him wearing a most seductive outfit)

I'm a married man so do not presume to assume I don't know what I'm talking about.

SELAH

PS

For those who believe I am chauvinistic and my post is rich in female subjugation here's a school of thought to ponder on:

If the thread were to read "5 Reasons why married women cheat on their husbands" and Reason 2 was "Lack of Communication & Romance from the husband" and I was stating that all men must love, cherish, adore and attempt to satisfy their wives irregardless of whatever the state of her emotions, would you label me a campaigner for male subjugation?

The thread posts reasons why nigerian men (my emphasis on married men) patronize prostitutes and I am merely speaking to their wives in relation to this. Truth be told a woman can do all she can to keep her husband and satisfy him sexually and he will still cheat (in this case his sexual desire is chronic and needs to be put in check), but I want to believe it will be hard for a married man to do so if she can satisfy him sexually. After all, Logos tells us that in marriage her body is no longer hers; it belongs to him and vice versa. Nobody said sex in marriage will always be pleasant but in lieu of some men cheating and divorcing their wives because of problems in the bedroom it may be a small sacrifice to make.

It goes without saying that men must cherish their wives and love them but as this is not the basis for the thread I did not see the need to emphasize it.

Dude are you sure you are 31?
if you are then you have a lot of work to do.

At your age your brain is fully developed, and so is your body. I don't know how you spent your teenage years but having loneliness issues at your age is bad for your mental health.

The women who you claim are having a crush on you are both children whose bodies are growing faster than their minds, and since you have such similar trait with them I suggest you grow up (and not old) very fast. Your self esteem is very low for a man, believe more in yourself, discover your purpose, find your passion, have 2 visions, and give one of them a time limit (transforming it to a goal), you are in school, why not use this time to develop your mind and soul and become a man of excellence?

Women (not overgrown children who think they are) chase confident men graced with a style of vision, excellence, power, or wealth. As you have acquired none of this for yourself how long do u think their infatuation about you (of which I see no clear evident proof of such) will last?

A crush is childish and does not last, one day they will grow out of their infatuation, notice your weaknesses and soon you will be irrelevant to their emotional fantasies. A mature woman will seek out a King that will lead her, make her his Queen and cherish her, so man up, be the King you were born to be, reek of confidence and vision, and princesses & other Kings will flock around you, attracted to your self made persona. Don't allow your desire for companionship and loneliness (which is a trick your mind plays on you telling you nobody wants you around because you are worthless to them) make you get crushed by 2 ladies you currently don't have the wisdom or confidence to woo).

SELAH!

(meanwhile how do u hear a lady smile?)
Is this an example of personification or metaphorism or what?

My advice:
Free the girl abeg!
Forget about your feelings for her, we can't call this love yet because your actions are clearly stating otherwise

Focus on yourself for now. Work on yourself, build your confidence, nurture your self esteem, improve on your overall self value, stop chasing girls and chase after excellence. In time you will see that by becoming a citadel of excellence, girls, money, men (no homo) and everything else will chase after you.

A woman playing hard to get should be thoroughly ignored (emphasis on thoroughly).

And please, for the love of manhood, stop going through her things all in a desperate bid to know her thoughts!!! Why would a man secretly read his lover's diary? Its childish abeg!

If she ever found out you did, her respect for you (which dey get k leg already) will evolve into a cross-bow leg.

Follow my advice, it may take a while but eventually she would be fighting many other girls and business activities catching your attention just to get yours, and if you are favoured by the Gods, you will have someone else who is really interested in giving you the one thing a woman has in this entire world that they are afraid of giving out or they'll have nothing left; her love.

SELAH!

Let me get this straight,
You date a girl, break up with her, your friend does the exact same thing, and now, you are repeating history...?

dude, how old are you? seriously?!?

Why do u date a lady:

To have fun?
To get to know her better?
To test run your dating skills?
To brag about your exploits to your friends? or
To build a friendship that will birth a relationship that will conceive a walk to an altar?

I admire your sincerity about not being into her anymore, but reality tells me you were never into her in the first place, I put it to you your current fire of love was extinguished the moment it was sparked on a ground that wasn't going anywhere (this ground belonging to two people that haven't discovered themselves and their purpose, their self esteem "ebolad", sick and unhealthy, hopelessly and tirelessly degenerating, needing the regular fluids of epileptic emotional excitation and gratification to sustain it, Mr Inevitable Breakup staring them in the face, bored and joyfully ladened with foreboding, waiting for the most possible future of pain and depression to catch up with their foolish sense of reality so he can have himself a good laugh {let me just stop here})...

The thing is dude you are a bad person (as she will later tag you and probably come here to cry and lament "why do guys break up with girls?" which would probably make front page faster than Samsung makes money) albeit an honest, sincere one (for allowing your lady build up emotions towards you {all in a bid to define and or redefine her low self esteem} only for you to now hurt her with rejection).

The thing is in all of the possible futures I see this relationship does not end well.

You might as well just tell her at once and be done with it. Both of you are very young, hopefully, with time and you working on your self esteem whilst facing reality at all times, you will both heal and get on with your lives.

People should only date and go into relationships when they believe they are ready for something serious, but as this generation now uses love and lust as their own version of google to search for their lost identity, pain (which is a consequence of pursuit of purpose) is quietly, inevitable!

SELAH!

This is what happens to you when fame hits you and you are not mentally prepared; you begin to spend your newly acquired resources faster than you can plan a suitable venture for investment.

I have nothing for and against d'banj, but if this information is true then he has foolishly lavished his last 10 years of fortune and now does not even have a roof above his head to boast of.

Nigerian stars always desperately trying to live above their means in a bid to redefine their low self esteem and live up to their songs and music videos of fame and stardom...

At the end of it all all they have left are songs and videos lining up the archives of mtv base whilst the whole world looks up to the newest star on the block to excite their emotions with the next hit that they will play to death till they can no longer even stand the song...

Entertainment is so pronounced nowadays, all in an attempted attempt to keep us away from His Presence which is the center of all things...

D'banj, make a plan, get back up and invest your borrowed money next time.

Meanwhile this is what our youths of today want to become; over-hyped, famous (to the unenlightened) and eventually broke, faded out and irrelevant. Its a pity beyond belief.

SELAH

women mature and age faster than men - Fact!

women fear aging more than death, its their greatest enemy in this life, so they are ready to do almost anything not to look like their losing the battle to it - Fact!

women are afraid when their face germinates wrinkles, their hair begins to fall off, their breasts sag faster than electric wires on a hot sunny day, their body develops folds, flab and cellulite, that their husbands will look to younger women (who are currently destroying their bodies with chemicals, junk food and cheap cosmetics) for sexual amusement - Fact!

If people are already asking you whether she is your aunt or your mother now they will see her as your grand mother in 10 or 15 years time (remember she will add extra 13kg for every child she delivers for you)

{It is also possible she isn't telling you the truth about her real age. After all someone once said a man is as old as he feels, but a woman is as old as she looks.}

My point is:
1. If she is comfortable with reality as per her body not aging too well, and she is determined to love you and make u happy, then by all means marry her. Who knows, with your love and dedication you might just take all the stress out of her and leave her body portraying a better idea of how much time on earth she has spent in it.

2. There is probably something off about the lady that your relatives are hesitating to tell you, using her age as a pretext for you calling off the marriage. Why don't you pray and ask for guidance before marrying her?

3. Guy you are a man, and a man u must remain!

If you are having double mind i suggest you give one of your mind out abeg. Marriage isn't something to enter with two minds, especially as a man. Women (a lot of whom are emotional junkies) will only complicate things for a man who is double minded, if you can't take my word on it go ask Adam, Abraham, Samson and Solomon.

If you love her and she loves you and you are convinced in your heart of hearts that she is the one for you, then marry her. But let your decision be based on a choice to love her and bring out the best in her, not just on physical attraction or feelings. That way, 30 years from now, when she is probably looking like your great grand mother, you will look at her aging, physical casing and not regret hearkening to the advice of your family. After all, marriage is not something that should be lived in regret.


SELAH!

why would a 19 year old be dating?
Isn't she supposed to be focused on her studies and developing her talents and understanding herself?

If she must by all means date then she should go out with matured men.

Children do not play because they are young; they are young so that they can play.

Any one who runs away because she isn't ready to "play" with them is a child. Shikena!!!

My advice is she waits for a man who is ready to keep his manhood in his pants till marriage.

Such men still exist in this world.

Children and animals who think they are men would always want to have fun dangling their joy sticks all in a bid to plug and play, but at the end of the day, when they want to marry they would desperately seek out a virgin.

Now I ask "if every man was like them who will marry all they ones they have been plugging and playing with?"

Is this madness or sparta or what?

major466:
Very good advice. Nice one @llouis

Sorry my posts are always long, I shall attempt an attempted attempt at compressing the digital expression of my innermost convictions.

Thanks.

I had problems talking to girls when I was about your age and small wonder why;

I grew up in DeeperLife, where back then wearing Jeans as a guy was considered a sin and we doomed to roast yam in the Hel of Fires (they believed we were possessed by the spirits of cowboys that used to wear the jeans back in the wild west of the 19th century), in church boys and girls sat on separate benches and communication was almost forbidden. I attended an all boys secondary school, so growing up with 4 other brothers like me, and living all our lives indoors created in me a timidity that would intimidate even the shyest of people.

When I gained admission into UniLag I determined in my heart to make friends and break out of my shyness. But it wasn't easy.
I can remember the first guy I approached to borrow his note, I was literally stammering! Not that I stammer naturally but I was so out of sync and shy that the words refused to even come out of the audible hole in my face naturally. A good guy as he was he instinctively knew what I wanted and gave me his note book before my thoughts leaving my brain could be forged into words. Talking to girls was a no go area as talking to guys was difficult already. I spoke to my elder bro who counseled me and gave me some tips which I shall share with you later on.

For me I had to initially build up confidence talking with people. And I had to build it gradually.
I began first of all with greetings. A simple "hello" and "good morning" was practiced with myself and my mirror in my room placed on my top bunk. I executed this, greeting everyone I came across in my pre-degree class. It was difficult at first, but I put all my weight into it until it became a regular thing for me.

Pleasantries were next - its amazing how often a good game of conversation can begin from a simple "how are you today?" or "how was your night?" and from there I approached people one on one and after greeting them began simple, short conversations with them all in a bid to befriend them and build my confidence.

Then I worked on body contact - I enforced shaking people as I greeted them. It flowed naturally with guys (guys have no problem whatsoever in this world my friend), but with the ladies I had to wage numerous battles with my shy self to overcome the urge to run away whenever I wanted to shake a lady and greet her. It was a new experience for me with them (I remember my first hug a girl gave me abandoned me gasping for breath and almost fainting; how her and her friends held their sides and laughed and I struggled and begged for breath)

So in a few weeks I could greet guys and girls, shake them and talk to them but I never looked them in the eye when I was doing this. On telling my brother my progress he told me that looking someone in the eye is mandatory and it shows them and yourself your own confidence. My brother it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done; looking a lady in the eye and talking to her, back then it was harder and deadlier than charging at a raging, angry elephant with nothing to attack but your clenched fists. It must have taken the space of two lifetimes but I was able to begin it and enforce the "look into your eyes" discipline with everyone I came across.

Conversation is a game which like chess if you play a lot you will definitely get better. I don't believe that like Ludo it is based on luck or chance. You need to have confidence in yourself to be able to engage anyone you desire in this game. If you don't believe in yourself you won't be able to make good conversation at all.

I worked on myself, I built up my confidence relentlessly, until I was able to talk to people for hours. 6 months later guys would come to me asking what my secret was as I could talk to 5 ladies at the same time and make them laugh so loud they'd disrupt the class and capture everyone's attention. Guys envied me back to the extent one or two became my close buddies so they too could get to talk to some of my female friends.

A year after this I was so popular I couldn't walk from Faculty of Science to Makama Hall without stopping to talk to at least 20 people and saying hi to another 20 along the way. I had to wear a cap whenever I visited a female hostel so my numerous friends would not recognize me and I would have easy entry and exit from their hostels.

The key to overcoming your shyness is your determination; it has to be die-hard!

So here's the thing;

1. You need to work first on your self esteem. We are all a product of something we experienced in our childhood. There's a reason why you are shy with girls. You have to find out why and deal with it relentlessly or else deep down inside you will always be that way. (I was so shy back then I'd enter a bus from orile to okoko and would be too shy to say "mile 2 owa" and I'd be waiting for someone else to say it, one day that was how I found myself at okoko. I entered a bus going back and nobody alighted at mile 2 and that was how I found myself back at orile.)

2. To build your confidence you need to first be able to flow with guys. If you can do that already then you are there!

The only difference with girls is you have to always make the conversation about them, that way they keep talking and that way they loosen up to you eventually. Tell a woman about herself and she will listen to you for hours!!! Forget about wooing a girl for now, build up ur confidence to be able to walk up to any girl and just talk to her and converse. Be yourself, be natural, complement her sincerely (women know when a guy is sincere in his actions and they always know when a guy is tripping for them, I don't know how they do it), and no matter what you do, don't brag about yourself and your manliness; it will piss them off! Women love it when it is all about them so as long as you talk to her and make herself the subject topic (talking about yourself and about things but always defaulting back to her and her welfare), your conversation will go a long way.

3. You have to be funny and humorous. Girls love that more than anything.

You see women worry a lot; every woman you see on the street is always attempting to solve a puzzle in their mind, and if they can't they resort to worrying. It is pathetic sometimes as to what they are thinking - "why hasn't anyone said my hair is fine today?", "why hasn't he called me back?", "why is that girl looking at my tummy like that? Is it really that big?", "why hasn't any guy toasted me today? Am I ugly?", "why hasn't anyone liked my selfie I just posed on facebook? Is my hair bad?"...because of these mundane, mediocre thoughts a guy that can make them laugh and provide an excellent distraction from their self-induced problems is a must have around for them.

I can't begin to lecture you on how to be funny, that's another post for another eternity but I can advise you to look into yourself and present scenarios that will make them laugh. I often use my own life's experiences and it works.

4. Cook your personality, get drunk from the fountains of wisdom so you can belch and vomit words pregnant with enlightenment. Have a vision, a dream and work towards it. Women will love to date a funny interesting guy but they will be ready to spend their lives on a guy that they perceive is mature and has a vision. Women can smell a man going places (I don't know how they do it) and the matured ones will be ready to invest and develop their man from the seed form that he is into a colossal of repute and success.

So, in summary, work on your self confidence, build your esteem, invest in your mind, sleep with wisdom and father understanding and enlightenment, be fun to be around with, be funny, be interesting and in no time not only would you be able to talk to any girl and woo her, but they will want to woo you sooooo badly they would come to nairaland to ask for tips.



Meanwhile, your liver failing you is normal if you are attracted to a lady but don't worry; with enough confidence you will pass its next exam.

SELAH!

7yrs back my lady at the time broke up with me (without my knowledge) and went back to her ex; I was serving then, I didn't know she had moved on and every time I called and asked her why she wasn't maintaining contact she would say she didn't have credit to call. Immediately I'd send her credit and she would never call back. I must have been sending her credit like every 2 days and she never used it to call me. This happened for over a month and it was then after the official break-up it dawned on me:

A woman asks for recharge card from one man to call another man whom she truly loves or wants to communicate with.

A lady will never ask her love to send her recharge card, never!!! She will always asks other guys who have interest in her to send her so she can call her man.

From this and several other personal experiences I noticed any lady who I sent recharge card to never called me with it. Those who do never spent up to 30 seconds thanking me for it. And then the next time I hear from them its another call or sms or chat asking for another recharge card. Some even resorted to flashing!

99.9% of nigerian women are guilty of this at some point in their lives. Even my wife asks some of her male friends via chat to send her recharge card so she can make calls at times (why she wouldn't use her own money or ask me to send to her is a mystery for the Ancients).

Three memories back when I was still single a lady called me to send her recharge card that it was urgent. I was working online and told her I was busy and she begged me to go out and buy and send it to her, because she couldn't do it herself.
Guess her reason: she was lying down on her bed and she was too lazy to get up and leave her house to cross the street and buy it. After the call I had to go to the mirror and begin searching for a sticker on my head that read "free recharge cards here!", of course I couldn't find one. I haven't picked her calls ever since.

After my ordeal back then a lady asking me to send her recharge card is the easiest way for a girl to piss me off; I lose respect for her completely and forever (Its like a guy asking a lady for her nude pics), ask me to send you recharge card and I will quietly delete you out of my phone, gmail synched account, bbm, facebook or any other media whereby you can repeat the act.

And for the record my ex from the story above still calls me to ask for recharge card up till now. I told my tab to always block her calls and the dude is very good at following orders.

Would to God that ladies (who believe that communication is the key to forging quality relationships) would be ready to spend their own resources towards the build and strive for independence. Why won't animals parading as men continue to view women as tools when these women are ready to be held by a handle and used as long as certain mundane wants are met?

SELAH!

My 10 Signs

1. A man fends for himself; a boy wants to sleep with his babe and have her sort out her financial issues which have been joined in matrimony with his.

2. A man is understanding; he attempts to know how his woman thinks, feels and reasons. A boy would want his lady to understand him first and when she doesn't he feels she is selfish and conceited.

3. A man takes care of his woman, cherishes her and nurtures her to maturity of emotions and mind. A boy would take care of his inordinate desires first or in accordance to what he believes his lady wants (and not what she needs).

4. A man has a job or a work that brings him money. A boy, self-blessed with a jobless state of mind and reality, waits for his mum to give him pocket money so he can take his lady out.

5. A man does not probe into a woman's past; when she is ready to reveal her deepest secrets he sits by her side, listens to her and does not judge her or define her based on her past deeds and or mistakes. A boy would want to hear how many men his lady has slept with and whatever figure she gives him he judges her unworthy of his love.

6. A man studies his woman and learns her "love languages" whether they be a combination of:
1. touch,
2. deeds of service,
3. quality time,
4. notes (text messages) of appreciation and
5. gifts.

Having found out he loves her and expresses his heart-felt love for her in the love languages she understands. A boy assumes a lady loves text messages and sends her copy and paste messages and when she doesn't appreciate it and asks for gifts (being her love language) he flares up shouting she is materialistic and unappreciative.

7. A man never hits his woman; she is his pride, his inspiration, the source of his strength and the extension of his persona. Hitting her is like hitting his own soul our cutting out his heart and pounding it with his fists. A boy will hit his woman believing he can beat her into submission, not knowing that a woman who submits to a man out of fear can never truly love him.

8. Women were created to be led. A man is one who leads his woman, with his influence and his good example of manliness. When a man treats his woman well and acts mature and accordingly, submission from his woman is inevitable. A boy wants his woman to submit to him irregardless of his random acts of thoughtlessness, foolishness and "childism".

9. A man has a vision, a plan, a goal, a dream. A man is going somewhere, a plant growing into a big oak tree, an idea cooking, birthing and re birthing itself into physical, interactive manifestation. He may be broke but he is not poor, things may be tough for him but he's not giving up, when luck frowns at him he churns his own luck, forges his own path and embraces reality as he chooses his own destiny out of the multiple-choice objective exam life sets for him. In all, he is a colossal symbol of strength to his woman and an inspiration to all around him.

A boy enh, has nothing to show the world save the emptiness of his jerrycan head, the shallowness of his low, drunken, staggering and vomiting -self esteem, the thought provoking wonder of his childish values (all expressed in his sagging trousers, unkempt hairdo adorned with a fashion sense that is flawed by its own desire to desperately depict a state of mind that is everything but mature), his immature random acts that stem from a brain gorged with information that when fused and syngergized can never place him on the path to wisdom, and his innate desire to be successful by all or any means unnecessary. A child can only process one thought at at time so, unable to multitask and project the outcome of his premeditated actions as he plots his destiny, he stumbles over his own childish thinking. A disgrace to his family, an embarrassment to male-hood and a burden to his woman, he is unable to discern that she will soon leave him for someone who is ready to mentor and cherish her.

10. A man is mature. Maturity can be summed under one word - Self control. A man is always in control and as such acts accordingly. A boy follows his ego, emotional instability, biased mindset about life and the foolish advice from his co-simpletons and the media.

Reality is there are only a handful of men out there. The rest are children and dogs who think they are men. Would to God that our women won't succumb to their desire to be accepted so much they date and bond with these boys and mammals all in a bid to patch up the hole in their hearts that only a life of fulfillment and submission to their purpose-description can fill.

SELAH!

jejemanito:


I didn't drive my point well. Facelessness does not mean am being a coward hiding under a mask NEVER! It simply implies everything you said about peeps like facebook viewing ones online activities is exactly what I meant by my comment. Trust me I don't joke with privacy at all at all!

Even google does it. Infact their own is worse

Telecoms nko all this phone calls and texts we send are being monitored!

You made nice points tho

Well in reality there is nothing we can do about it. Phone calls, text messages, mobile apps, social media, security cameras, satellites, adware, spyware, malware, software etc are all used to monitor our everyday lives. Just watch the movies "The Echelon Conspiracy" and "Eagle Eye" and you will have an idea of what we are really facing.

The only way out is to avoid anything that has to do with technology or electricity; EVERYTHING!!!

I was watching a programme on al-jazzera the other year and i heard how it is possible to turn your phone into a microphone and listen to everything going on in your house all the way from america or israel, even if your phone is switched off! Unless you remove the battery from your phone can it not work.

Meanwhile based on on the app I shared i am now worth $2.40 to facebook and $26.53 dollars to twitter. This is how much they make from my coconut head every year. Is this madness or is this sparta or what?
