Ever Heard of Personal Space?

Have you ever heard about personal space?

I really cannot stand it when people are trying to talk to you and they come right in your face!

Please back off a little. It’s even worse when you take a step back from them, giving them a little space, but they take a step even closer.

Sometimes I feel like putting my arm out to say; I can still hear you from arm’s length you know? So you don’t have to come right in my face to talk to me.

The alternative is to start walking round like this guy in South Africa

 So what is personal space?

I didn’t make it up; there is actually a dictionary meaning for it.

It is simply the physical space immediately surrounding someone.

I don’t mean when you are on the train/tube or public transport when you have to stand or sit so close to each other.  I mean when you are out and about or at work or anywhere else, please respect people’s private space.

It’s ok if you are a spouse, kid, family or a cuddly best friend but if you are none of those to me, please don’t stand this close to me or anyone else its simply not right.

Ladies Please Wake Up !

My pipu (People) 

I need help here.

I don’t get ladies  these days

I know a few (Ok more than a few) that wants to marry by all means, seriously?

Not that marriage is not good o, but you are going about it for the wrong reasons.

Its marriage season now, everyone is getting married. Plenty ladies are getting depressed that they are being left behind. 

What is wrong with focusing on “you” during this waiting time?

What is wrong with investing in your life? 

A lot of this “ready to marry ladies” don’t even have good jobs o, yet they want to marry. Most of you are either squatting with friends or family, you don’t know what it means to live alone or pay bills.

Please who wants to marry a liability?

It doesn’t matter what job you do or what you do just be able to look after yourself financially before looking for a man to marry.

Dating sef won’t work if he is the only one working and you are just home all the time.

My friend, he will find another working class girl and you will be history.

Now I know the job market is more than difficult in Nigeria but there are other things you can do to make money.

A lot of people think leaving Nigeria will make them successful. Forget it o, if you don’t make it in Nigeria, it will be hard to make it anywhere else. This applies to gents and ladies.

And no let me hear you say its cos I’m abroad that I can say that.

Yes I am abroad and very much in touch with peeps back home.

The opportunities out there are vast, as in too many “easy” ways of making money with low start-up costs too. Send me a mail if you want some. Only serious minded hustlers o, no quick money scheme anywhere, you work hard and hustle and you definitely will make money.

But really this post is for the ladies, please invest in yourself. Position yourself well. Don’t do follow follow wey no get money! Those friends will leave you and move on to the next happening/successful babe if they realize you worth nothing. (Story for another day)

Stop belittling yourself, carry yourself with respect, position yourself "strategically" and love will find you.

Looking After Your Kidneys---IMPORTANT INFO---

Hey peeps,

Trust you are all well.

Today is world kidney day!

I feel like I need to write something about it because  the ignorance of people bother me.

People do things that damage their kidneys daily.

I am not sure this is cos of their ignorance or they just can't be bothered or they just don't know how severe it can get.

Meanwhile just  little changes here and there will make all the difference to make your kidneys last longer.

So what do the kidneys do?

They get rid of excess water and toxins in the body.

They regulate blood pressure,

They make red blood cells

They keep your bones strong too, that's right......It not just calcium

Kidney disease is very common and can affect anyone  I mean adults and kids too.

There is no cure......... the failure of the kidney is very fatal and might require a lifetime of dialysis or worse case scenario, a kidney transplant.

Statistics has shown that black people  (Afro Caribbean) are 5 times more likely to  experience kidney failure than other ethnicities. So without you doing something wrong as an African person,  you are prone to kidney failure anyway ( so why do things that would make it worse)

If you are diabetic and it is not well controlled, it can cause kidney disease.

Uncontrolled High blood pressure is also one of the biggest causes of kidney diseases.

If you happen to be overweight too, you are at a bigger risk of kidney disease.

This probably sounds like a broken record, but if you smoke, it can slow blood flow to the kidneys and stop them from working properly.

If you are experiencing any of the following  early warning signs that you might be developing kidney disease:

• fatigue
• difficulty concentrating
• trouble sleeping
• poor appetite
• muscle cramping
• swollen feet/ankles
• puffiness around the eyes in the morning
• dry, scaly skin
• frequent urination, especially late at night

Please go to the hospital and ask for a Kidney Function Test

So unless you are "stinkingly" rich and love pain please change some habits in your life to make your kidneys last longer.

Drink a lot of water.  If possible let it be filtered water or boiled water. ( If you are a dialysis patient, you might need to restrict your fluid intake) Drinking lots helps the kidney clear sodium Urea and toxins from the body which will lower the risk of kidney diseases. Don't replace water with juice just cos you are rich. Water is essential.

Drink less alcohol, this includes alomo  bitters, opa eyin , yoyo bitter and the likes of it.

Eat healthy and keep excess weight off. Not being over weight will prevent diabetes, heart diseases and other terrible conditions that can lead to kidney diseases.

Eat less red meat and more white meat and lots of fish

Reduce your salt intake and saturated fat intake (fatty beef, chicken skin, butter, cheese, burger or any processed meat)

DO NOT SMOKE

Keep fit and active.  Skip, run, jog, do whatever needs doing to that will  reduce your blood pressure

Avoid self medicating. Don't just over dose on pills. Even too much of paracetamol can  damage your organs.

Don't hold urine in your bladder for too long, its bad for you. When you feel the urge to wee, do it ASAP. (I'm guilty of this too)

So cheers to healthy Kidneys

:)

I missed The Memo on Diplomacy

Wow! Its nearly the end of the year.

Apologies for being MIA for ages. I have two jobs, my full time job and I work for my husband too. So NHS work and my Oga at the top's work when I get home. I don't mean kitchen job or the "other room" o.

I type blog posts during lunch at work but  I don't get the chance to post them.
Oh well, I can only hope next year will be better.

Compliments of the season to you all. Hope you had a good Christmas? Mine wasn't too bad. I was on call and of course I was called into work. "rolls eyes"

I can not believe how quick this year has gone.

Its been one heck of a year, with lots of up and downs. In fact, more downs I think but through it all, God has been faithful.






I thank God for good friends, or good mates should I say?  You never can tell which is which nowadays.

I thank God for good family members and the ones that think they are smarter than you.

I thank God for work colleagues. Jeeez where do I even start from. Those guys (Oyinbos) are mostly hypocrites. As in, they talk about every one, get upset at one person but not brave enough to say it to their face. Yet pretend to be cool with them....."bet why" I really can't deal.

And yes I missed the memo on being diplomatic, I just say it as it is.

I remember saying to one that I didn't come to the Christmas meal cos I can't deal with knowing they are all unhappy with each other yet they want to sit down and act all happy. (I went to the main party for the whole department, I'm not bah- humbug)

What is wrong with trashing things out with one another and moving on from there? But that is apparently asking for too much.

Not just work colleagues o.

I have come to realize that to end up with life long friends, you have to be able to "sugar coat" the truth.

So if you feel your friend is doing something not right, don't just say it to them. Instead beat round the bush small and hope they get the gist and if they don't, just act like nothing happened and move on!

Choo, I am sorry I shall not be able to do that.

I say things as they are. I really really could't give a toss if you don't like it.

Please don't take this wrongly, I am never rude to anyone, or at least I try not to be.

I don't set out to be rude but if you are a mate and i see you doing something wrong, I put it to you nicely.  Times when I can not say anything, I just walk away and withdraw from the person.

I once had an older lady in church embarrass a young lady.

"your dad needs to become grandpa o and I want to come and eat rice too"

In front of other young married ladies as well as single ones.

I didn't care whether she was older or not o #coversface#  ( she was also my HOD)

I went to her like "Auntie but why? The struggle is real o, you don't have to add to it by embarrassing her like that na. Yes you might think you are as good as her mummy ( You know with Nigerians, every church woman likes to play mummy in your life) .
You don't know whether she has just been jilted, whether she is struggling to find a man, whatever the case may be, if you absolutely HAVE to have that kinda conversation with someone, call them to the side and not embarrass them like that.

She took it quite well and went to apologize.

Another supposed friend of mine like to throw in sickies at work, Its not been long since I met this one but she's cool like that. I had to say, its ok to be off sick o but if you actually don't need it, then don't take a piss.

This is because its not RIGHT to have sick time when you don't need it. You can actually do  yourself more harm than good.

If you need to get another job, they will ask for a reference and you will just not get that job. You current manager is expected to be honest and tell them your sickness record, so which sensible employer will give a good job to someone who is always off sick?

Also it might mean you are overlooked for promotions or more training as you won't be a reliable person.

I think she took it well but kinda went quiet afterwards. Safe to say she wasn't a happy bunny

"coversface"

I think I will end up with no friends, if I carry on like this o. If I can't tell you the truth if you are erring, then you are NOT  my friend.

The honest truth is, I really do not mind.

I would like to be told the truth if I am doing something wrong.

Would you do the same? tell a friend if they are doing something wrong? Or just mind  your business and pretend you are cool with the way they are so you can keep them as friends?

So basically lower your standard so you can have friends?


Don't laugh o, but I just noticed that people have friends for different occasions???

Blog post for another day.

Find your Iphone 7 Headphone Jack Here

Did I just read this !


So the iphone 7 just came out right?

Unlike the previous iphones, this  new edition has two speakers but no headphone jack.....so no port to plug  your ear piece.

so the one below is iphone 7

Apple  said this is to encourage its users to buy and use wireless ear piece $150  (See why I am not a fan? You always have to buy  things)


So for the people that open their phone pack and noticed that the headphone jack was missing, they want to quickly go online and see what people are saying about it.

The video below pops up on how to make a headphone jack for your new phone

The video tells you exactly how to drill your phone and to create your headphone jack

The fact that it involves a drill, won't you just think that is an outright no no? Why on earth will Apple expect its customers to drill their own headphone jacks????????????????

But surprisingly, people actually did this!

How Silly can people be? 

One man said he used the exact 3.5mm drill but no sound is coming? He got a response that he needed to drill deeper! LOL.

Another one said he tried this and ended up with display destruction, that he had committed the biggest mistake in his life.  Duh! 

You buy a £799 phone (256gb) and put a drill through it?  You must be a nutter of the century! You shouldn't even own a phone if you can be stupid enough to do that.

Its like getting a message on your phone with something that looks like a bar code and the message says scratch to reveal your pin code. Straight away won't you know that is a prank? 

These oyinbos sef.

Its Autumn/Fall Already

I can't believe I haven't blogged this year?

I am off work today and after 3pm, after finishing all my chores around the house (most of them)  I decided to get my laptop and see what is going on around the world (call me old school, but its not the same on my phone)

Anyway I have saved a whole lot of stuffs I wanted to post on this blog but never got round to actually posting them!

I can't believe how quick this year has gone, I was too sure I have blogged more than once this year but blogspot clearly says I haven't

So how are you all?

I am fine, been working very very hard....NHS is easy to say the least but God has been faithful.

I came out of work after 8pm the other day and it was dark? I felt like it happened too quickly! One minute there was day light till 9pm and the next its dark at 7!

Officially I heard on the weather news yesterday that its equinox 2016 today! Meaning 12 hours of day and night, unlike before when we had longer days and shorter night. Simply put its Autumn/Fall,  the season between summer and winter.
This season is expected to be between 22nd of September to 20th of December. I can bet you it will feel like proper winter before then.

I always look forward to this season, not because of the cold but the changing colors of the leaves

Have a look at a few  pictures I found online  and decide if they are beautiful or not......

So cheers to autumn, all the best peeps!

See you pretty soon

Happy New Year

Phew, I can't believe how quickly 2015 went.

Its 2016 now and 10 days are gone already!

God has been faithful!

That is just a statement of fact!

So how have you been?

Any new year resolutions?

I don't have much this year.

I want to read my bible more, not doing well so far.

I bought open heavens for the very first time!

And yes i have been reading it, errm just not today.

I am not putting myself under any pressures this year.

I am taking each day as it comes.

Pastor Sam said no guilt over anything, have a clear mind and a clear conscience and you will be just fine.

I have so much hopes for this new year, I don't know why. I just have this feeling that 2016 is loaded.

As for my goal of reaching out to more people, it has started and God help me to do more.

I want to serve more in my church but I am struggling a bit with time.

The church is very far from me, I mean I have to get on the motor way/express to get to church, in rush hour traffic too.

Now imagine after a hard day at work, going to church for mid week program is the last thing on my mind.

All i want is to eat sleep and do same again next day.

Maybe I need to change my church to somewhere closer to the house?

I can't even make that decision alone.....Ok, that is me just thinking out loud.

I am sure I will soon get clarification.

I hope to do a bit more blogging this year.......
Lets see how that goes.

Happy new year again!

Have a blessed year ahead.

Sponsor A Child's Education for 20,000 naira per Session

Hello Beautiful People,


As the legend Nelson Mandela said and I quote:

"Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world"

You will agree with me that, he was very right, God rest his soul.

We all complain so much about how the nation Nigeria is, this, this and that, maybe if enough people were educated, the country would be better?

Education is golden, it is the best gift you can give to anyone that can not afford it.

You can never tell if that child will be in a position of power tomorrow.

Either you are educated or not, it is important we educate the future generation.

Maybe if our parents in their era were that educated, Nigeria would be a better place.

Maybe if our parents were that educated, they would take on family planning and not have so many children the can not take care of.

Look at the developed countries, they put a lot of time, effort and funds into education.

Not because there is no need for all that funds elsewhere, but because they know the value of education as a society.

So long story short,  please if you can afford to sponsor a child, here is your chance.

It is not even that expensive.With a minimum of N20, 000 (naira) You can sponsor a child for a session.

I mean 20k (Less than £70 )in 3 months ( a session) is almost nothing to a lot of people.

Please please please, sponsor a child.

Here are the details if you are that way inclined

Please click the link below and it will take you directly to the form you need to fill

Sponsor a Child's Education


Noble Missions work with communities to strengthen their systems in ensuring vulnerable children get access to quality education.

The kids also gets support to get admission into government schools and Noble Missions provide writing materials, uniforms, bags, sandals and other necessary school resources to children whose families cannot afford to make these provision.

I am one very proud member of this noble group :)

If you need any more information, please do let me know.

God bless you as you do.

Any plans yet? 

I can already think of a lot of plans.

Big one is I want to give more in 2016!

I don't know how or where but I know I want to be a blessing to a lot more people.

So please feel free to lets know if you know any one or organisation that could use a little help

Super Rich Nigerians now on Same Spending League as Chinese and Russian Millionaires in London

It is official and in the news, Nigerians are now rubbing shoulders with Chinese and Russian Millionaires in the London

I was at work "jejely" (Quietly) Minding my own business when I saw my colleague reading a news and in the headline was "Nigerian". I was very quick to ask, what now.....another bashing for Nigerians eh!

Only to realize it was dailymail.co.uk reporting that "Nigerians get mouth o"

In my mind I was thinking na today! its not a new thing now. 

I remember when I was in Uni and we heard from an Asian landlord that a set  of newly built luxury flats were bought  cash down by Nigerians for their children studying there. I mean, no mortgage or loan, for at least 2 bedroom luxury flat in the 3rd Largest city in the UK.

Anyway back to this article of Nigerians showing off in London.

The article was about a program that aired tonight, so I quickly messaged hubby to please record it for me as I was still at work.

To say I was surprised was an understatement.

Ah Nigerian people can party and show OFF! 

They are now using luxury places in London for their wedding.

 I mean using Kensington palace for your wedding! The official residence of Prince William and Kate Middleton.  They will soon start renting Buckingham Palace.

It is no longer Euro or Dollar spending countries, they have gone for one of the highest currency spending countries in the world ( Pounds Sterling) 

The people wey get champagne sef dey share am but the wedding planner Elizabeth Aisien  said, no o, not at Nigerian parties. Every one has a bottle of champagne to themselves. I mean a bottle each for about 3000 guests.  You can do the maths, that is over £150,000 just on champagnes (about 46 million naira) Ok now.....

There was even take home bags with luxury gifts in them!   I mean £5000 (1.5 million naira) watches, just as a thank you for attending a wedding!  Oh yes please :)

Ok it is not a big deal when it happens in Nigeria but now in the UK, in Pounds! It is a big deal

Tatler (British high class fashion and lifestyle magazine) said every third pound  spent in Harrods is spent by a Nigerian. I am sure you know what Harrods is all about?

It is all about luxury shopping. When I say Luxury I mean mega luxury.

                                               

If you dress down too much they won't let you in. If you turn up there in ripped jeans and slippers, don't bother going near the door, they will not let you in.

The dress code for CUSTOMERS is smart casual. 

That is how posh it is.

 

So that is where Nigerians roll. 

Me I don't have a problem o, as long as the money was made legitimately.

If you made your money, you need to spend it yourself. You can't take it to the grave with you na.

As you can imagine, people will be running their mouths about why the UK government is still sending foreign aids to Nigeria when they are this rich.

Little do they know that the Nigerians that can afford this kinda luxury are very very small as in 0.000000000000001 percent.

The fact that there are rich people in Nigeria also does not mean that there is no problem in the country. Aren't there rich people in the UK, are there no problems here? 

Plus the British government will not stops sending it because they know what they get in return. 

Of course from Oil, minerals, precious stones, metals and other kinds of businesses they run in Nigeria.

Oh well, their cup of tea.

you can watch the program yourself  here channel 5 on demand

Eamonn & Ruth: How The Other Half Lives,   9pm, Channel 5

I look forward to watching the rest of it.

Manners, Etiquettes and Manners

Hi peeps.

I have come again with my rants.

What is wrong with people?
Whatever happened to good manners?

When someone sees you and says hello especially in this part of the world, shouldn't you just answer?
And then find out if or how you know them.

This is why sometimes I don't blame the oyinbos for their fake smile, at least they smile at you even if they don't mean it.

I am the one for being courteous.

If someone sees you and smiles at you or goes a step further to say hello.  It is only fair you say hello back to them. That is the least you can do now.....abi is that too much to ask.

I use to tell off young people from church just because of this "hello/ hi "issue.

We are Christians right? if someone comes to church for the first time and you bump into them at the shopping mall later after service and you blank them like you have never seen the before!

what does that say about you?

Next week you pick up the mic and lead people to worship but see them after church and act like you have never seen the before.

Before you say han han you can't know or recognize everyone in church, i am talking about a small church so you have no excuse, and when they stop to say hello to you, it is a big shame if you don't answer.

Your character is not Christ like.

It does not hurt to say hello to someone especially if they are LOOKING AT YOU or SMILING at you.

Some of you will be complaining you don't have a man/woman.

Stay there o, if you are not approachable no one will want to talk to you.

Duh!

And if people say hello to you too, smile and answer.

It is just simple good manners, learn to say Hello and Hi, it will not kill you.

Road Rage and Naked Cyclists

So I was watching a TV program the other day called "Road Rage".

Its  was a documentary about issues between Car Drivers, Bus Drivers, Lorry Driver, Cyclists, Bikers and of course Pedestrians.....simply put, all road users

Now as a driver myself, I get really angry when I have to manouvre round bikers and cyclists.

If  hubby is ever in  the car, Oh dear! He basically screams....baby watch that cyclist like I can't see. And then I get a lecture on how a little nudge can knock them off their bicycles and kill them bla bla bla. Need I say, when he is driving, oh well you can imagine, he gives them lots of space.

I get angry with them because I think if you are a road user, you should obey the rules. That is all I want.  Its really never that straightforward is it?

Some cyclists are so unruly and it really really winds me up. Stay on the cycle lane if there is one, otherwise  if I stop at a traffic light, I expect you to do the same, If i stop at a Zebra crossing, you should do the same! but guess what. Some of them don't  or should I say loads. :(

Worse of all, some of them put their lives at risk. I mean why would any cyclist on a bicycle try and out run a huge lorry that God know how much they weigh? A lot of them get killed that way and sadly others still don't learn.

Ok picture this, a lorry was turning left into a road and a cyclist was going straight ahead, how on earth was the lorry driver supposed to see the cyclist? its bad enough that your bicycle is small, every vehicle have blind spots! lorries have blind spots too! They won't see you when you are there! duh!

Anyways, back to the program.
So lots of cyclists got on their bicycles NAKED. As in completely Naked......Ladies with their tits out in the open and guys with their balls hanging out.....eeeeewwww.

Here is a picture I found online, I didn't record the program, would have taken stills.

There are loads more on the worldwideweb :)

Anyway, it was more hilarious when a middle aged woman was interviewed and she was proper angry.

Apparently she just had a knee operation and needed to get somewhere pretty quickly but the naked cyclists are in the way.
She was really really p***d off and said the protest was more annoying because all the men had small  "willies"

That was hilarious.


My point is, I pay road tax and i did driving tests (theory and practical) If I am obeying traffic rules there is no reason why you should not.
If you are not going to do the same, don't bother getting on the road. Get on the bus!


Rant over

Phew Its August!

I can't believe how quickly time flies.

Its been 2 full months since i last blogged, that is ages ago.



Not much has happened since then, just work work work.

Woman must survive now abi how them dey talk am?

But really i can't believe how quickly this year has gone. It seems like yesterday when we welcomed 2015 but now its 139 days to Christmas!

I am glad time is moving very fast. I just wish i had more money and time to go on more holidays!

Talk about priorities.

These things are important you know :)

What do ladies mean by God fearing man?

If you ask any/most single lady/ladies what they look for most in a man they would like to marry.

Guess what always comes tops on the list?

God fearing man ;)

So I  got asked this question by a man 

"What do ladies mean by "God fearing man"?

A man that goes to church? Tongue speaking, spirit filled and  the rest of it? 

A man that is not tongue speaking but has good morals, maybe not a frequent church goer? 

A man that is  christian in the background, but treats people right and treats you like a queen? 

You can interpret it in so many different ways.

What do you  mean by "God fearing man"?

Welcome again General Buhari

I know its been a while, busy is an understatement, I have been mega busy.  Woman must chop na. Apologies for being away for so long. Blame my job ;)

Anyway, while I have been away, Nigeria's new president has resumed office,  YaY!

Most of us are expecting lots from President Buhari and during his inaugural speech, he has kinda put us all in our place by saying "he belongs to everyone but he belongs to no one".  That statement left a lot of Nigerians asking questions on what he meant. Oh well, lets leave that to your imaginations.

I am sincerely hoping and praying his tenure will be good for Nigeria. Only because I want  to return to Nigeria. ( errrm, some people may disagree....lol)

I hope people will support him too rather than witch hunt him sha.

All the best President Buhari



Oh Metro newspaper ( Free daily newspaper in the UK) published a wrong picture of Buhari the other day.....I mean that is just disgraceful.
I think they should write an official apology article  with the correct picture of our new president, don't you?

Tips or Bribe

Its been a while I know. *covers face*

Work has been so busy and I barely have the chance to get on my PC let alone blog.

Anyway straight to the matter at hand.

Tips and Bribe. 

What do you think? I think they are two different things but errm someone thinks they are the same but media paints it differently. 

Where I came from Bribe is when you pay someone to do what they SHOULD usually do. Or better still to do what they are paid to do but because they are slackers and want to extort money from you, they ask for it. 

Tips on the other hand is when you get an impressive service and you just give something to say thank you. 

What do you think?

Some people are taking tips to the extreme though. 

Tips are not meant to be asked for! Apparently some restaurant staff rely on tips. Common guys, there is something called "salary".

You all get paid and you shouldn't harass people for tips. I heard on the radio the other day that, some restaurant staff in the states actually ran after a customer asking for tips. Needless to say, he didn't get it. 

Its kinda annoying really. 

I would give a tip when I get a good service, not cos you ask for it or expect it.

As for bribes, I dunno o. People give bribes everywhere to get round.  Its in the news so much in African countries but I can tell you it happens all over the world. 

Would you give tips when you get good services? Anywhere i.e hotels, restaurants, airports, bars etc.

Would you bribe someone to get something done? When they are already getting paid to do that thing. 

Lets hear your views. 

Bed time :) 

See you all later 

David Cameron- British New Prime Minister

I said new because the Conservative party won the UK elections 2015.

                 

This time they did it alone. I mean David Cameron will be prime minister all by himself, no coalition with any other party.

Good on them. I can't help but wonder where the voters came from though. #justsaying

Was listening to the radio this morning  and only one person phoned and was excited about the win.

Makes me wonder  who and who voted? A million dollar question. Lets not go into that.

Some people are saying Cameron's visit to Festival of life worked? Oh Jonathan did the same now? And didn't win, so pleeeeeease, spare me that.
Common guys, If you see the kinda text messages going round in the African community, you won't even think that way. They were listing everything he did wrong and saying clearly DO NOT VOTE for the Conservatives.


Oh well, I am waiting patiently to see how he will perform. To the working class, the disable,  the NHS and a lot more, only time will tell.

Scottish Nation Party though, I mean they cleared the whole of Scotland. I mean 56 seats out of 59 seats, neat win for the SNPs. Nicola Sturgeon is mega pleased.

I am just very surprised. Were they not the ones that voted against Referendum late last year. As in the majority voted to stay in the United Kingdom, not be on their own like the Republic of Ireland.....You get?

Now I am confused. What has changed?

Is this ever going to be United Kingdom again?

Once again, only time will tell.

Ok what is this nonsense I am hearing/reading?

Have you seen this picture around lately?>>>>>>>>>>>>

 "Disciples of the New Dawn"  (a supposed christian religious group) are saying that if you didn't have your baby the natural way (Vaginal birth) you didn't really give birth.

Choooooo, say what?

Ok, I am not surprised! They are led by a man, father Patrick Embry, only a man can come come up with something like this.
Oh I'm sorry, let me  not generalize, some men are sensible enough to know better.

 He is suppose to be a Rev father right? What does he even know about child birth.

Some people have no clue do they?

Their group must be really really sad and ignorant!

Do you know what it takes to carry a pregnancy and loose it at the very end just because you want to "push".

Do you know how many babies and sometimes mothers that have lost their lives in the process?

Who wants a scar? But some women have no choice.
You people should do your research before coming out with stuffs like this.

Does medical reasons sound any good to you?

And for the people that chose to have it as an easy option, is it not their body? How is that anyone's business?

Abeg, make i no waste my anger on you sef.

Mumu people.


Ranting over

Pastor Adeboye Endorses David Cameron- UK prime Minister?

So David Cameron, British prime minister showed up at Festival of Life last night and everyone's going ga ga about it!  Saying things are really changing, Britain is getting better and all the likes of it

Are you guys being serious?

For the people not in the UK,  Festival of Life in the UK is  the equivalent of Holy Ghost Congress in Nigeria. It happens like 3/4 times a year. I'm not sure.

Every time it happens, it is always packed. I mean we are talking more than 45,000  RCCG members  from all over the UK meet at the 02 Arena for FOL, so basically the biggest gathering of Christians in the UK

UK elections are round the corner and the campaigns have started. So politicians will do anything to get votes.

So my fellow Nigerians/ Africans, David Cameron only came to "buga" you all.

Was it not this same man that attacked the sanctity of marriage? Was it not this man that saw to it that churches MUST now marry same sex couples? Even when his own party member said the civil partnership they had was good enough.

Oh for us Immigrants to the UK, please check the Conservatives immigration policies.  They will send all immigrants away any day any time, if given the chance to.

So before they send you all back home you berra wake up and vote wisely.

So it was not a privilege to have him, he was just passing by.

Oh guess where he went after FOL? The Sikh festival.

He learnt from Goodluck Jonathan na, remember he did the same when he was campaigning? And see where that landed us


Do not be deceived, he just came to  campaign  and get your votes.

Accountability in Churches

I have come again, you will have to bear with me while I rant.

Why can't Nigerian pastors be accountable to their members?

I don't mean for them to go into so much details and I also don't mean tell everyone that comes through the church doors how you make and spend money.

Personally I think if you are a regular church goer and you can say this is my church, and pay your tithe to that church, the church owes it to you to let you know how money is spent.

Its called being accountable to your members.

I used to go to a Pentecostal church and it was managed by "oyinbos". We don't even have a session for offering, yet they church makes money. People even pay tithes by direct debit every month.

You can't try that in a Nigerian church o, just because you don't trust the pastorate? Let me not generalize, maybe some people do it.

In my old church, every April, we got a statement on how much the church makes and how much we spend on what what and what. Most people don't bother reading it but the fact that it is there makes a lot of people chill out.

So my fellow  Nigerians, do you have annual meetings to talk about income and expenditures? Or  is it too much to ask from our leaders to be transparent.

Maybe not to everyone in church but surely to the members? or fellow ministers?

I remember when I was very young, there was something called AGM (Annual General Meeting) for church member, I obviously had no clue what it was but i knew it was full of numbers and all. So does it still happen?

Are you a committed member of any church? Does it bother you? Do you get told anything?

Oh well, ranting over, its bed time.

New week ahead

Happy days!
