"21 COLLECTED NIGERIAN POSTS."

Spiritual, inspiring, provocative, humorous and encompassing. I present to you:

"21 COLLECTED NIGERIAN POSTS."  

You will definitely learn a thing or two from this collection.


1 talks about how to overcome fear. 2 says you should not be lazy. 7 says opportunity will come, but be prepared. I don't have a word for 8. Point number 9 says- be benevolent! Men have responsibilities- that's point 11. Please don't read 15, someone said it's provocative; the person's response follows immediately. You will find SHIPS and KIDNAPPERS in 16 and 17 respectively. Read 20 if you desire a happy home.

Please drop your comment or suggestion at the end.


1. The first step in the deliverance from fear is to have the right kind of fear: The fear of the Lord. That is why Solomon wrote in Proverbs 2:1-5. Get only the Fear of the Lord.

2. Are you young? Engage your hands in something profitable and don't be idle. Only ensure that it is something legitimate and God-glorifying. Don't fold your hands! If there is no job, you can create one for yourself. Ask God for inspiration. If you will not work until you get your dream job, you are very lazy and operating outside of faith. But if you excel in little jobs, they will pave way for the dream job to come.

3. There are TWO ways to being Successful; one is to figure out what you are PASSIONATE about & the second is to DO IT. What you are passionate about will always DRIVE you.

4. Teacher Asked:- What's A Baby Lizard Called?? Akpos Answered:- Lizzy Baby.

5. Fake friends reveal themselves during your time of victory and defeat. The clue? They're silent. They will not congratulate or comfort you.

6. You don't force respect out of people; that's rape. You earn respect.

7. Without realizing it, every human being walking the face of this earth, is not looking for a house, a car, plenty money or in some cases, many girls. What we are really looking for are opportunities. The problem now is when we find them, are we prepared to seize them, use them or even recognize them? The moral of this story: Study, prepare and be ready, the opportunity will come.

8. My dear brothers please don't play with a woman’s heart. She only has one. Play with her boobs, she has two. Thanks for your co-operation.

9. Don't feel bad if people remember you only when they need something. Feel privileged that you are like a candle light that comes to their mind when there is darkness. Be a blessing this month.

10. Bringing people down will never take you up. He who digs a pit doesn't fall into it. He's actually in it.

11. If you can't afford her bills, say so. Don't turn around and say she is materialistic. Women have needs, men have responsibilities. Live up to it.

12. The most expensive liquid is TEARS because it contains 1% of water and 99% of feelings.... Please think twice before you hurt someone.

13. Everyone wants to be part of a "Success Story" but not part of a “Misery Story.“ They forget that the misery story formed the foundation of the "Success Story." Things are getting better!

14. When things are at their worst, keep on going, this means they can only get better from here.

15. Dear girls: If you have slept with over 10 guys, seriously, you have lost the exclusive right to call your "p***y" a private part. It now belongs to your local government.
RESPONSE: ... that's funny. But why do we label girls that have a high affinity for men but celebrate guys that womanise? I think both sexes are culpable. "Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:2)

16. SHIPS were designed to take you to places. So if your friendSHIP, relationSHIP, partnerSHIP is not taking you anywhere you should abandon that SHIP and let it sink!

17. Your Ex asking you to be friends after breaking up is like... KIDNAPPERS asking you to keep in touch after letting you go.

18. Sleeping with the richest guys won't make you rich & life is more than Bold5, colour blocks & taking pictures in hotels and eateries... work hard and stay classy.

19. You will always find someone who can jump higher, run faster, go farther, dig deeper, talk smarter, think bigger than you. What you should concentrate on is this: in anything you choose to do, make it difficult for anyone to say that you were not EXCELLENT!!!

20. THERE IS NOTHING AS SWEET AND WONDERFUL AS THE UNION OF TWO SOULS BECOMING ONE.... But because of some factors some of these unions don't see the light of the day. Sometimes I try to analyze some of the causes that hinder long lasting happiness in a once happy home: Communication, lack of understanding, bad friends, family interference, bad advice, lack and poverty, unfaithfulness, keeping secrets, I am the boss attitude and finally disrespect of one another. If only we can work on these ills, am sure we will not only have a sweet and better home, we'll enjoy absolute peace of mind.

21. The road to Success is not straight...there is a curb called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, red lights called enemies, caution lights called family. You will have flats called job....But if you have a spare called Determination, an Engine called Perseverance, insurance called Faith and a driver called Jesus, you will make it to a place called success!!!

GOOGLE MESMERIZES OBAMA

Barack Obama tours Google:

Toward the end of the tour, Larry led me to a room where a three-dimensional image of the earth rotated on a large flat monitor. Larry asked the young Indian American engineer who was working nearby to explain what we were looking at.

"These lights represent all the searches that are going on right now," the engineer said. "Each colour is a different language...." The image was mesmerizing, more organic than mechanical, as if I were glimpsing the early stages of some accelerating evolutionary process, in which all the boundaries between men- nationality, race, religion, wealth- were rendered invisible and irrelevant, so that the physicist in Cambridge, the bond trader in Tokyo, the student in a remote Indian village, and the manager of a Mexico City department store were drawn into a single, constant, thrumming conversation, time and space giving way to a world spun entirely of light. Then I noticed the broad swaths of darkness as the globe spun on its axis- most of Africa, chunks of South Asia, even some portions of the United States, where the thick cords of light dissolved into a few discrete strands.


Richard Branson's remark:

I have been asked: "What is the greatest business invention of the last fifty years?" That's a tough question because you need to factor in the mobile phone, DNA testing, the personal computer and the Internet, but I think the winner has to be Google's powerful search engine.

Google has allowed ordinary peope to find things out much more quickly. It has led to more immediate choice- and increased consumer power- and a freer flow of information, knowledge and ideas. It is far more than just a search engine- it has become an engine of change.

Google's History: Two Standford Ph.D candidates in computer science Larry Page and Sergey Brin collaborated in a dorm room to develop a better way to search the web. In 1998 with some million dollars raised they formed Google with three employees operating out of a garage.

IMPORTANCE OF WINE

WHY WAS WINE USED AS MEDICINE DURING BIBLE TIMES?

In one of his parables, Jesus spoke of a man who had been beaten by robbers. Jesus said that the man was helped by a Samaritan who bound up his wounds and poured "oil and wine upon them." (Luke 10:30-34) When writing to his friend Timothy, the apostle Paul advised him: "Do not drink water any longer, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent cases of sickness." (1 Timothy 5:23) Were both the practice Jesus described and the advice Paul gave medically sound?

The book Ancient Wine describes wine as "an analgesic, disinfectant, and general remedy all rolled into one." In ancient times wine had a central role in Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Syrian health treatment. The Oxford Companion to Wine describes it as "man's oldest documented medicine." As for Paul's advice to Timothy, the book The Origins and Ancient History of Wine says: "It has been shown experimentally that living typhoid and other dangerous microbes rapidly die when mixed with wine." Modern research confirms that some of the more than 500 compounds found in wine have those and a number of other medicinal benefits.
