Is Nigeria Nigeria a decayed nation. Nigeria is part of that group of African countries that has no real reason to account for its perpetually high poverty rates. No other reason than corruption or incompetence, perhaps. After many attempts to stabilize their economy, macroeconomic reforms in the 1980s finally worked well.

To move forward in life, to maximise your luck or lucky stars, there are forces which tend to limit you in achieving your aim no matter how hard you try. It hinders you from making right choices; doing the right thing at the wrong time or even saying the right thing at the very wrong time. o I thought it important for us to crush if not cure or suppress some of these forces and rid our minds from every negative force that is a point of hindrance. The dictionary describes depression as a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal, sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason.

Lucky people generate their own good fortune via four basic principles. They are skilled at creating and noticing chance opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition, create self-fulfilling prophesies via positive expectations, and adopt a resilient attitude that transforms bad luck into good. Are you a lucky or unlucky person? Or, to put it more precisely, are you prepared to be lucky? "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity"    What makes a person lucky? Often it's less about actual luck than it is about a person's general outlook. Here's why. Former Wall Street Journal and Fortune writer Erik Calonius points to a fascinating study by a psychologist Richard Wiseman. Wiseman surveyed a bunch of people to find out who considered themselves lucky or unlucky, then performed a very interesting test:

The message many gays and lesbians hear is that God hates you. See why this is not true. By Marilyn Adamson Life often demands certain qualifications. To get a driver's license, you have to pass a test. To land a certain job, you must show that you have the credentials deserving of that job. If "A," then "B." Prove you are worthy. Prove you have qualified. Prove you are "acceptable." At what point can you know that God fully accepts you? Unlike anything else you have encountered, a relationship with God does not begin with you filling in the blank, "Accept me because..." It starts with God saying, "I accept you." "I welcome you." Whether you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered or have questions, God is not our enemy. If you have not already begun one, God wants a relationship with you. He offers this to anyone and everyone. In Scripture, you'll see only one group that consistently angered Jes...

Due to personal experiences and popular demands, I deemed it fit to give a step step guide to renting and acquiring a property in Nigeria. 1. Whenever you say "i am looking for a property to rent around lekki, ikeja, v.i etc, you must know that these areas are choice areas that attract high tenancy rates because they are low density areas and have more amenities and it is baffling to hear that someone is saying "his budget is between #150,000 to #200,000 per annum".

We have to be careful what we take granted, a rare infection, though common all over the streets and around us, we see people who have such, if we could assist them, then yes we can. This Story caught my attention and i taught i'ld share it on my blog. Father-of-two who brushed his ankle against a bin bag, scraping the skin, developed a flesh-eating bug and nearly lost his leg. Douglas Murphy was cleaning up after a children's picnic when he bumped his leg against a bin bag. Though the 47-year-old barely registered it at the time, the scrape almost cost him his right leg. A cut so small it was hardly visible, became infected, causing the rare condition necrotizing faciitis - a flesh-eating bug. So extreme was Mr Murphy's infection, surgeons were preparing to amputate his right leg. But as they were printing out the paperwork to authorise the procedure, the antibiotics Mr Murphy had been given finally began to show signs of working. Douglas Murphy, 47, from Broo...

A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. This is because those who can't read, even when they hear you speak as a Mr. Educated or know it all, can sense your flaws. Am not much of a talker, but you know you have one or two friends who just have a way of making you talk. I was peeved at the words a trusted,nontribalistic friend of mine(I had taught) had used in the early hours of this day against the IBO's, a recognised minority group in Nigeria of which where he is coming from is least recognised, calling the Igbo's fools and of no origin. Though I was glad he had said they had no origin or history, I can assume that the IBO's probably fell from the sky, which further adds to the unique and scintilating nature of this tribe. But for the avoidance of doubt, I would want us to go through the history of these people called THE IBGOS.

  A few months ago, I was talking to some of my friends when the topic of losing our virginity came up. As my friends talked about how old they were and what it was like for them, I sat there quietly, giggling at their stories and nodding enthusiastically without actually contributing anything to the conversation. Why would I do this, when one of my favorite things ever is dishing about embarrassing sex stories? Years ago, I had come to the sad realization that, um, I don’t remember losing my virginity. Seriously. I really don’t remember. read more after the cut...

The Confucian desire to be a dutiful son or daughter can lead to horrible therapies. Do we have such therapies here in other countries  of the world? Or we set up laws to ban and frustrate these individuals without even seeking for ways to convert them or help? IN 2011 Lin Yan attended the Chuanwei Psychological Counselling Centre in Shenzhen, a southern city. Worried that his parents would not accept his homosexuality, Mr Lin, who was then 24 (and now uses a pseudonym), spent $1,700 on three months of so-called “conversion therapy”. He was shown sexualised images of men and induced to vomit by an injected drug. Other techniques included what he describes as “mental torture”. A counsellor would repeat that his family would never forgive him and that being gay was immoral. He endured electric shocks.

One officer killed in southern Rivers state as Nigerians elect 29 governors and representatives from 36 states.  Nigerians have returned to the polls, amid pockets of violence, to elect state governors and assemblies in elections, in which the opposition hopes to make gains following its victory that unseated President Goodluck Jonathan two weeks ago. Tensions are high on Saturday in the south where close contests are expected in Lagos, Nigeria's financial heart and wealthiest state, as well as in the oil-rich southern state of Rivers.

Remember the first day when I saw your face remember the first day when you smiled at me you stepped to me and then you said to me I was the woman you dreamed about, the woman you had seen her face before, i remember the first day when you called my Phone, Came to my house, i remember the first day when you took me out we had butterflies although we tried to hide it and we both had a beautiful night

This is from a power speech by Theodore Roosevelt "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

There is a direct link between our mind and our immune system. Do all you can to stay positive, never give up hope and never lose faith in the future. If you have a reason for existing then you will have the ability to endure anything life throws at you. If

The False Prophecies About 2014 7 January 2014 at 14:00 by pastor Fred Abua  (he is gonna kill me for this) i read this piece and i taught i share it. I am reading the many contradictory predictions for 2014 here on Facebook and in some national dailies and I have almost fallen off my stool with laughter even though I know I should be tearing up or writhing in pain right now! At first I was peeved by the brazen lies and speculations that my fellows in the ministry can contrive to gain recognition or to continue controlling crowds but wisdom demands that I find a way to relax or I might lose my mind. So I laugh. I will try and save us all some controversies by not mentioning names because I am certain that some of my readership will find the names of their favorite preachers among those whose prophecies I despise. The result will then be that people will place curses on me (curses that will not work); they will pity my lack of spiritual understanding...

I saw this on a bumper sticker once and found it interesting...found it on amazon too and I suppose this represents what some have observed after going through a very difficult time, not finding people in the church that could empathize or understand without feeling judgement from them in some way. and the pain associated with their disillusionment of what they thought God's people should be like. As unfortunate as that may be, it shouldn't be the case...

My fellow Nigerians, Diva Viva, We extend to you and the great leadership of the Nigerian people our warmest congratulations and blessings in the democratic wedding witnessed by our Nation,Nigeria. Be that as it may Buhari should use a second chance to avoid the party or his position being used as a police force and focus on Nigeria's own economic, population instead of "burning [from] the flames of Local and International hatred; that the people of Nigeria are weary of wars, bloodshed and unnecessary spending and Buhari should hence end the "futile" Boko Haram  "tarnishing" the Nigerian Name.  In the same vein, Buhari should realize the populace is tired of the physical and economic cost of the war done to the northern states in Nigerians and should hence "immediately withdrawing its invading troops. (although a few bomb blast may be head to stop side talks or affirmations) That said... see details after the cut.
