Please oh, yahoo boys in the house.. (a.k.a thieves).. how do you people do it? I mean your conscience..
Yesterday, I made a 50k transfer to a POS man. I did this on my way to get some things as I didn't have my card with me.
I received an alert later in the evening, and the balance wasn't corresponding. It was 50k higher than what I expected to have left in the account. Curious, I checked immediately and realised the 50k I earlier sent to that POS man either didn't go through, or was reversed. The man didn't even bother to check if it dropped before I left. Probably because I was already in a cab. He also had a few customers he was attending to.
I quickly hailed a bike as I stepped out, straight to his stand. He had closed for the day.
I was restless within me. You know why? He would go home, and find out he's short of 50k. He would not be happy, he would feel pained. He's a family man, he has kids he needs to feed.. he might be thinking he had lost the money. I thought of every possible emotions that man may feel over the night. I was sad for him, but happy because I knew I will get back to him by morning.
This morning, I headed to his POS stand again. He was there. He didn't even recognise me. I had to explain that I was the lady in a cab that withdrew 50k yesterday. And that the money was reversed or something. This man almost had my head with his "thank you". He kept saying.. "thank you madam, God bless you." I transferred to him and was almost on my way. He stopped me and asked "why?".
Why what?... I don't understand. It's your money.
Two men were there when this happened. One of them told the man that he was lucky, the other one said "all these one na show, if I see bombing bomb now.. everywhere go stew". I immediately knew he was an "upcoming" thief (yahoo boy).
The man kept lamenting about how much he had lost on that stand. But he keeps pushing because he has a family to take care of.
He asked me to come to his stand at anytime I probably need "help". That, he will never forget my face.
On my way, I kept pondering and asking myself how we got here. When has it become something to celebrate, that someone returns to return YOUR OWN MONEY!
If you can take something that doesn't belong to you, and be comfortable, you're no longer a human. The devil is your apprentice.
Yahoo boys, I don't like you people at all because I don't like wicked people. If you're following me, please unfollow me now and block me.
T for thanks!!!
Suddenly, pseudo intellectuals are pushing the dubious narrative that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are sustainable means of livelihood.
How about groundnut and sachet water business? They should include them too.
The defenders of this wicked regime are telling us that Remi Tinubu has donated billions of Naira to NGOs.
First, they should tell us where she got such money from.
Second, they should provide the names and locations of the benefiting NGOs, and verifiable evidence that the donations have been properly utilized.
The advocates of akara economy should set up this business for their siblings and family members to demonstrate the efficacy of their postulations.
Since your mother sold akara to train you, why haven’t you opened akara factory for your wife, daughters, sons and political associates to promote and sustain your mother’s entrepreneurial legacy?
With the collapse of public education, how many akara sellers in this country currently can afford to pay their children’s tuition in private schools?
How many akara sellers can pay the rising costs of tertiary education and healthcare?
How many akara sellers can afford to pay the rising rents in Nigeria today?
How many akara will one sell to be able to buy fuel?
If akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli are viable and sustainable microeconomic investments in Tinubu’s Nigeria, let the defenders of Tinubu show us members of their families that are engaged in this enterprise.
The point is not that akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli aren’t necessary foods, the point is that we are all witnesses to how the Tinubu family has amassed wealth and captured state power to entrench and further their selfish and greedy ambitions.
We have seen the insane convoy of Remi Tinubu, Seyi Tinubu and their benefactor in Aso Rock.
It is deceitful and disrespectful for the same family that is living in opulence, amidst the ravaging and dangerous hunger in the country, to be pushing akara, roasted corn and kuli-kuli economy.
Bola Tinubu’s regime has been a wasteful and disastrous experiment.
We have seen how he is destroying our economy. But his annoying and power monger wife feels she can lecture the victims of their misrule and incompetence about the viability of the akara economy.
Enough of the silly expositions.
@last______born First, commot that " I'm sorry" wey dey the beginning of your post. Everything else remains valid.
Why?
Because you owe no one an apology for owning your convictions!
A young man recently asked me to pray and tell him which of two women God had created to be his wife.
I told him: the last woman God specifically created for one man was Eve.
Since then, God has given both men and women wisdom, free will, character, and grace to build a marriage that honors Him.
Stop searching for a magical soulmate hidden somewhere on earth.
Become the kind of person who can love, honor, forgive, serve, and stay faithful.
A great marriage is usually not found.
It is built.
It is incredibly difficult to follow Jesus. What He asks of us is nearly impossible. Under our own power? Literally impossible.
When I read the Beatitudes, I'm often struck by a sinking feeling that I don't even come close to all these "blessed" people who live as He says we should. But maybe that's the point.
I read a story recently about Corrie ten Boom who, years after her liberation, was faced with one of her concentration camp tormentors. This man, along with many others, was responsible for the deaths of her father and sister. She could not forgive him - it was physically impossible for her in that moment - so she asked Jesus for His forgiveness to flow through her. It did, and to her surprise she began to feel love for this man.
This is why Christianity is so difficult. It's not just about being winsome, staying on your Bible-reading plan, praying dutifully every day, or serving the church on Sunday. It's about doing the impossible, which we can only do through Christ (Philippians 4:13).
The only power we have is to ask Him into our lives and for His power to carry out His will. How many of us would ask Jesus to let His forgiveness flow through us when faced with such a person instead of marinating in justified hatred? I tremble to think of how I would've reacted in the same situation.
This, I believe, is the true difficulty of being a follower of Jesus. Not just the denial of certain earthly pleasures - the "repression" most non-Christians focus on - but the denial of anger and unforgiveness. The latter is much harder. To walk with Him is to deny our own "power" and to accept humility and meekness, as He did. That is the narrow path.
@DanielIbitayo If you claim that I'm "projecting myself as a person who knows something", then prove that you know better by giving us a better meaning of that scripture than the one I gave.
The burden of proof is on you, not me, my dear bro!
@og_bosslady@pastorpoju@MatAshimolowo You wait and see.
Keep siding with the opposition.
David is coming.
For now, he's still watching the sheep.
God chooses the things that are despised to shame what the world chooses. Blessed be God!
Feel free to bookmark this, grace and peace be multiplied unto you and yours!
@OlajubajeB6255@pastorpoju@MatAshimolowo Miss me with the bs, dearly beloved!
Same Jesus that called Herod a fox?
The day prominent pastors begin to tell truth to power and stop all these frolicking with politicians, is when they would be deserving of respect from the populace. You stay and watch the coming revolution!
@pastorpoju@MatAshimolowo Matt.23.9 - Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
Pentecostals and worshipping famous pastors Ńa 5&6. It's a call to humility for pastors to DELIBERATELY strip themselves of some of their honor so they don't touch the glory of God.
@Americanmomma77@RealShahriqKhan Blessed be God!
Key is to keep the lines of communication open. Statistically, Muslims are more converted on a one-on-one basis than by the modern pentecostal crusades method. It's important to remember that we've all sinned and deserve God's wrath so let's reach out to others.
