When @pst_iren said that most of the Preachers doing the work in the field would succeed in any other discipline without fail, this was what he meant.
DKO is the first Nigerian to clone genes. Throw that into any first world context and he's levels above.
“But as na pastor!”
ADML is a nice song. I enjoy listening to it myself but singing it in church doesn’t make any sense. It’s neither a praise to God nor edifying to the congregation. Why would you sing it in church?
Na Pastor wey pay attention to some Nigerians I pity pass.
People that don't have any integrity or ability to see good in anything.
Nigerian Pastor: Builds large auditorium for worship.
Nigerians: dragggg, why can't they invest and give back to the society.
Pastor: builds school, hospitals e.t.c. that creates tens of thousands of jobs.
Nigerians: why can't it be free? (Even the government that subsidizes is still expensive o, talk less of running a school without subsidies and providing multiple scholarships)
Pastors: builds some free schools.
Nigerians: they know the people they're admitting, I don't know anybody there
Pastors: Goes back to focus on church work and expanding places of worship
Nigerians: they're using places that we can use for industries for church buildings.
Pastors: builds industries and companies and creates stuff.
Nigerians: "whatever they're saying under this post"
Once you learn how to shop directly from China, E.g Temù or shien your wardrobe changes completely. Call me cheap I don't care I ain't rich, I don't do fraud.😭
It's knowing what to search for.
Here's my style after making plenty of mistakes.
1. T-shirts:
Skip 100% polyester unless you're buying gym wear.
Instead, search:
• 100% Cotton
• Combed Cotton
• Heavyweight Cotton
• 240-300 GSM Cotton
• Premium Cotton
• Mercerized Cotton
The heavier the GSM, the thicker and more premium the shirt usually feels.
2. Jeans:
Denim Jeans
Temu is surprisingly good for denim if you know what to search.
Search:
• Denim Jeans
• Cotton Denim
• Raw Denim
• Selvedge Denim (if available)
• 98% Cotton + 2% Elastane
• 99% Cotton
Avoid jeans with high polyester content. The more cotton, the better they'll age and feel.
3. Body-hug clothing:
Search:
• Ribbed Knit
• Modal
• Viscose Blend
• Cotton-Spandex Blend
They hold their shape much better than cheap polyester.
4. Hoodies
Search:
• 400 GSM
• French Terry
• Cotton Fleece
• Heavyweight Hoodie
5. Chains
Search:
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Titanium Steel
• PVD Gold Plated
• Vacuum Plated
These are far more resistant to fading than ordinary fashion jewelry.
6. Earrings
Search:
• 925 Sterling Silver
• 316L Stainless Steel
• Hypoallergenic
• Moissanite (if you're buying stones)
7. Scarves
Search:
• Mulberry Silk
• Silk Blend
• Cashmere Blend
• Wool Blend
• Viscose
Avoid the shiny, thin polyester scarves if you're after a premium look.
8. Loafers
Search:
• Genuine Leather
• Cow Leather
• Full Grain Leather (rare but worth looking for)
• Rubber Outsole
9. Sneakers
Search:
• Rubber Outsole
• EVA Midsole
• Breathable Mesh
• Leather Upper
• Stitched Sole
Pictures lie a lot
The description usually tells the truth.
Here's how I shop:
1. Read the material composition before anything else.
2. Sort by Most Orders or Best Selling, not cheapest.
3. Only buy products with lots of reviews or pictures or even better when a Nigerian has purchased it before they always tell the truth.
4. Read the 1-star reviews first. They'll tell you what the seller won't.
5. Look at customer photos, not the product photos.
6. Check the weight of the product. Better quality clothing is often heavier.
7. Read the size chart. Don't assume your Nigerian size matches.
8. If the title has words like "luxury," "premium," or "designer" but the material is 100% polyester, not everything but still move on.
Your best friend isn't the product picture.
It's the material, the reviews, and the customer photos.
That's how you separate the gems from the junk.
I hope this help.
Things are to expensive for a country this poor.
In a world where many doubt the supernatural, it is important that those who have experienced the hand of God in a tangible manner never keep silent about it.
If you’ve ever experienced a healing or miracle, share in the comments.
Someone might desperately need your testimony to be encouraged.
Whoever did that 2 mins cut and join video of Baba Adeboye has an Evil intent; because how do you cut what he said in 3 mins with 8 mins with 23 mins, join it together and made it look like a flow…
Why did you leave out the part where he talked about the genocide in Nigeria, his personal experiences, his Church members that were victims, where he was telling Trump that it’s now worse than when he intervened in December. Where he talked about taking down the sponsors that looks untouchable in Nigeria, where he’s begging other countries to join hand with Trump.
Where he said Christians are been killed and non of the terrorist attack has been done by a Christian…
Where he said he told Tinubu to give all his head of military 100 days to fix it or resign…
@LilianErnest_ I hope you know that effective evangelism comes from the place of genuine love and compassion for the lost, and with these comes consideration. Consideration in your words and your appearance. Your appearance won’t “unsave” you, but it will hinder the precious work.
@simply_abimbola@TheJohnOlonade There is precedence for it in scripture sha. Remember the guy in Corinth that was sleeping with his father’s wife, how Paul called him out and what he said to be done to him? I’m not saying this should be done to everyone but for a worker? I don’t see the problem.
And after that come the years when no one needs to force you to go to church. You just know you need God too much to be cajoled.😅>>>>>>
I was born with sickle cell disease.
I had Crisis after crisis, constant pain, multiple organ damage by age 28. Doctors said I wouldn’t see 35.
During one brutal episode, I prayed like never before while hooked up to morphine. The pain vanished overnight.
Follow up tests showed my hemoglobin was normal. No sickle cells. Geneticists ran every test, markers for the disease had disappeared. I haven’t had a crisis in 4 years.
My hematologist calls me the walking miracle file.
You have to believe that there is God.
I experienced what @Sisi_Yemmie has been saying here on the TL today!
I was coming back from an outing and decided to get a few items from Bokku Mart.
I bought only 3 items. The attendant asked if I wanted a nylon bag and I said yes.
He said the bag was #100. But why did he deduct #1700 for the nylon?
I didn’t check the receipt until I got into the car, then I remembered and decided to check.
I went back inside and asked what the #1700 was for. He said it was an error and that I had to wait for the supervisor to fix it!
This pissed me off! He could simply have given me my change instead of making me wait for their error.
Apparently the supervisor was in on it too. He came out and quickly asked the guy to give me my change.
I can’t imagine how long this has been going on! @bokkumart, call your staff to order.
Business owners, please be very involved in your business and don’t trust any staff.
#1700 is not a lot of money but imagine doing this to 5-10 customers a day!
