Religion: The prophet and the Sick man
Hello People!
Good day, hope you're all doing okay?
We've been experiencing raining season since two days here and I must say, it has intensed the harmattan. I came out this morning as early as 5:00am and met everywhere dark and quite as if it was 2:00am in the midnight. It was around 6:00am when I strolled to the road to handle over a key to my manager that's when I noticed that truely we are in a longer night season. That same time when I usually come out, the weather must have brightened up but today, it was looking like 5:00am.
My topic today🧾
Before I left the bed this morning I read @Kushyzee article where he talked about religion extremism He said it all right without being biased to any religion. He gave lots of examples which reminded of an encounter I witnessed.

Back to 2019 when I was at family house at home, there's this church at the back of my house just at the exact opposite of my window. The church is the "prophetic" type that does all manners. Sometimes I do enjoy the displays from the church and laugh out loud when my phone battery is down, using it to while away time and entertain my eyes and ears.hahah🤣.
One day I was grinding with my phone when I started hearing noises of people lamenting outside the church. I peeped at my window and I saw people gathered and I decided to come out of the room to get info on what's happening. Luckily I met my siblings outside and asked them what's happening at the church and they said if I haven't heard about what's happening, I should go back to sleep because I'm more concerned about my phone (actually, I love being indoor with my phone and it used to upset my family especially my dad🤪). I persuaded them to talk and they opened up to give me the full gist of what's happening outside.
My sponsors 💯
They said some group of people (the church members) brought one of their relatives to the church for the prophet to heal and the prophet has not been around for the past 4hours. They called the prophet and the pastor kept telling them to wait for some minutes because he's on his way. I was surprised after hearing the story.
I went outside to the church environment to confirm if the story my sisters told me is real because it sounded unbelievable, I stylishly strolled around and of a true, there was a sick man. He wasn't inside the church but outside the open environment under a big mango tree, because they said inside was too hot(it was afternoon).
They waited and waited, called severally for the prophet to come but he didn't.
At exactly 6:00pm the sick man gave up and they all started to cry. All the people in our street gathered to see what's happening, it got some talking while some were sympathizing with them. The young man among among began to give threat that he would beat the prophet when he comes back because it was because of him that made the man to die. They chartered a vehicle and carried the stiff body inside and leave to their community.
It was night time when an info got to us that the prophet was around and funny enough that night, we saw the prophet using the back yard road (inside our compound) which he hasn't been seen once passing there. He was scared🤪.
**The wrong approaches towards religion**.
I'm not stabbing any religion but it's obvious some of our approaches are weird. It's a modern world and we mustn't live as of the days of the old. Ignoring medical attentions just because there's a prophet that can handle the situation is not the right thing. What if you die waiting for a prophet and neglecting medical attentions and you end up in hell? Some people think if they die while waiting for a prophet for healing, will give them direct ticket to heaven, that's a big lie.
Like I always tell people about me, I'm a full time Christian but I'm not blindfolded with some doctrines that are uncalled for. Just like some examples given by kushyzee, where he said some people would not go for CS during childbirth because their Pastor or believe is against that.
I'm not against miracles, infact I'm a living miracle because I know where I'm coming from. I've heard and seen testimonies which I believed God's act but some people are totally taking wrong steps.

I came back from work yesterday around 9:00pm so tired and decided to give up on attending church today due to the reason that I didn't press my clothes. Normally I used to go for "plan B" when there's no public light but it was late for me to go with it beside I was also too tired. So I made up my mind not to attend church and smartly use the early morning period to walk on customer's clothes and also to grind well on readcash.
My sponsors ❤️
I woke up this morning by 5:00am when my brother was busy looking for tap key for water, I had to source it out for him because he's not been around since the new year celebration. After providing the key for him I parked out the clothes outside to start washing...the day was still dark as at that moment. I went back inside to get something when I heard a voice calling me via the window **"Kingsley wake up and go and prepare for church"** hahahah, that was Esther, my friend and a church member (unit member too) that works in a lounge close to my house as an accountant. She had to close as early as at that time to be able to meet up with church, so she was passing when she banged my window with her loud voice.
After the encounter with Esther another thought came to my mind and that reminded me that clothes shouldn't be the reason to miss church. I thought on it for a while but I let go of the thought... afterall I I've not been missing church services.
*In my unit(ushering unit) we make use of DRESS CODES and if someone is not on the uniform, the person will look odd and sometimes won't be allowed to officiate that day. So that's the reason it all looked somehow to me.*
Just about to start washing, I received a call from my boss and the first thing he asked was **"Do you have the shirt we are using today?"** I replied him **"I have but it's not ironed so..."** He said he's coming to collect key from my house to unlock office that I should be preparing for church, that he's bringing one of his shirt(the exact color we are using) to me.
*I and my boss attend the same church, not only that but in same unit too, ushering unit*
At the spot after hanging up, I concluded that God really want me to be in church today that's why all these are happening. So I quickly packed the clothes I had brought out earlier inside, took my bathe and waited for him to come. He drove to the entrance of my street called me to come and meet him with the key to the office. I got there gave him the key and he handed the shirt to me, not a new clothes though but a very fine clothe he has not used for a while, the shirt was well pressed (well ironed) to my standard.
The time was already 7:00am which is the time commencement of the service in the church. I was late already as an usher. I just did my thing as guy and took off to church.
I got to church and met everywhere scanty(People were few compared to usual) and that's because most members (majorly students) have not resumed. I jumped into duty asap and I was posted to a particular space to officiate.
I enjoyed being in the presence of God and also in the midst of people, seeing faces I haven't seen since the year began. I didn't concentrate more on the sermon because I was posted everywhere, ushering people especially late comers to their seats. It's a big church that has extensions of overflow and these parts are usually occupied by latecomers. After the normal ushering of people to their seats towards the end of the service, I was told help in collating the counting slips of attendance which sparkled my heart with joy. I was on the desk calculating when they shared Benediction and People started trooping out for other set of people to enter for the second service.
It's a day fulfilled for me, I'm glad that I attended church today and rendered my service in the house of God today. I never wanted to go because I didn't pressed my clothes but miraculously I got a shirt gift for church today. Glory be to God.
How about you? You attended church today or excuses held you?
**Thanks for reading my not so good article today.**

My feelings disappeared
Good morning family!
It's another brand new day again full of hope.
I woke up around 4:00am and began to ponder on a topic to write and nothing came out. I visited almost all my social handles to see if I could get a topic from the timelines but nothing. I was on bed till 6;30am when it dawned on me that I have to go and open office because I was the one that closed down yesterday, our manager had to leave early for safety because of the danger of the city recently.
I was a little bit convinced that I'd get a topic as I was going...like I'm going to pick the topic on the ground Lol🤣.
I came to the road, stopped a bike and zoomed off. I got there and Immediately I opened the main gate, I met a TOPIC waving at me. This is a miracle! *Let's go for the topic.*
Angela was once a staff in our company, a very beautiful girl that has all the spec I like in a lady. The first day she came for interview I naturally fell for her and I was hopeful they call her for employment. And to the best of my attraction she was employed and I was glad that I'll get to know her and things will flow.
She resumed and things became fine more than I expected, among all the ladies in the company she's the only one that goes towards my direction when we close, so we usually have nice time gisting when going home after work, usually at night say 9:00pm.
The truth is that I'm not the type that trip for women when it comes to going the "other side", I like bonding and feelings, so I was taking my time catching feelings and she reciprocated even though she has a well to do boyfriend.
**I found my self retrieving my feelings**
It was all fine till one day when a staff told me to watch her carefully because she has noticed some funny movement about Angela. I asked her what does she mean by "funny movement" and she said Angela has been trying to hide/steal some money after sales and if I have not noticed, she has noticed. Well the information hit me hard but I digested it and stood on a watch out. At some point too, I thought of maybe she told me that because of ladies insecurity issues within them. But what do I know? It's better to prevent than to sacrificed.
*You know how ladies behave when jealous steps in. Meanwhile i was the only guy in the midst of 10 ladies and you know what that means. I don't mean dating issues but there's this natural character in ladies to try to be dragging or pave way to be closer to the only guy.*
**One day she was caught.**
One day I was away and someone covered for me, they said she was seen hidding money under a desk because she could not put it directly to her purse immediately when customer paid for the product he bought.*[She's supposed to handover the money to the cashier, the customer paid for food purchased if by chance the customer handed the cash to her, but she hid it somewhere to collect it later when she's free and eyes not on her].*
After she hid the money, the staff that stylishly saw her, went to where she hid it and brought the money out and announced "who kept the money there?" and everyone (including Angela) said it's not them.
I was welcomed with the story immediately I came back from where I went to and I became sick in the head immediately.
Because she wasn't caught red-handed we didn't report to the manager, so I decided to be on a thorough watch out, I became the CCTV that the company has not installed.
Fastforward, she noticed the whole eyes on her and smartened up her moves.
From that moment henceforth, the beauty I used to see her in her vanished, she doesn't look attractive anymore to me. Not that I distanced myself from her or gave her attitudes, no, I hardly condemn people no matter what.
**What's beauty?**
Actually, i find it attractive when a lady is beautiful to my taste but if that beauty is not tallied with a cool attitude, it's a big turn off for me. It's normal for people to trip for mere looks but for me it's the more like the opposite side. If i find you beautiful to my taste and getting closer I found out that your manner doesn't follow suit with the beauty, I leave you instantly. No wonder most times, the "ugly" ones are getting married before the "beautiful" ones.
I came to understand that stealing is not just ordinary, it has an unseen back up force(maybe a spirit). What would make someone that's well fed and have all his/her needs met and still go into stealing? Just like I said concerning Angela, she has a well to do boyfriend (a Yahoo guy) who make sure all her needs are met. Infact she only came to work with us because she needed to be leaving the house. She gets all she wants from her guy and still engaged in stealing. So bad!
**Beauty with out good manner or character is ugliness.**
**Beauty with a dangerous habit is real ugliness.**
**Thanks for reading, Stay safe. I love you all.**

Let's talk about insurance
**Good day my people!**
How is it going over there? Hope you're good? Be fine and stay safe.
Today is already a fulfilled day for me because I conquered the spirit of procastination that has been sharing the same room with me for some days now. I was able to wake up by 4:00am to wash customer's clothes before setting off for work.
I was searching for a document this morning when I stumbled at a long time employment letter. And all the scenes flashed back to my mind and I smiled.
**Why is it that we don't like insurance?**
Yeah, some months ago i picked up an offer to work as an a financial advisor in one of the leading Insurance company in Nigeria. I should mention the name? Lol.🤗
During the orientation, we were told a lot of things concerning insurance in Africa as a whole. Just few percentage of people are into insurance policy and it's very bad for people ignoring the importance of insurance. Although it's not their fault too because it's not easy coping with it and also due to alot thing that has happened.
**But Insurance policies are good**
Before then I didn't know much about insurance and I usually go with the thought of the companies as scammers🤦. But when I was exposed to the benefits I was amazed. Do you know that;
***You can be saving to get profits at the end of the policy while insuring a life?*** This is the part I love most, there are some policies that allow you to save on a monthly, yearly or bi-anually basis and earn a percentage of profit from the savings at the end of the policy and at the same time insuring a life. **What to do i mean by insuring a life?** If you're insuring a life via your savings and by any chance anything happens, say death, accident, sickness etc the company comes to your rescue, either they provide finance for the health bills or in the case of death, they return a huge amount of money (mostly in triple form of the targeted savings of the deseased) to the family. It's surprising, right? At first when I heard this I never believed too but I got to a point that I saw evidences that made me to believe.
***Do you know that when you insure your children's education they are covered for a long duration?*** This is a good one too and I'll tell you how it works. When you insure your child's education, you'll get back your money with some profits at the end of the policy. And if peradventure you passes-on along the line while the policy is still on, the company takes over the sponsorship of the the child's education to the end and also they support the family of the deseased with a good sum of money, also fully pioneer the funeral events...we are not praying for bad.
***Do you know that when you insure your shop, office, house, cars etc you are safe?*** This is the one most People are common with. For the people in Nigeria, you remember those vandalisation and looting of mega shops e.g ShopRite immediately after the ENDSARS protest, insurance companies came to their rescue and returned all that was stolen. Just imagined it, if those properties were not under insurance coverage, it would have recked down the companies.
**Why are we finding it difficult to do?**
If insurance policies are good, then why are we finding it hard to Venture. I'll tell you because I had a lot of experiences on this aspect.
***The economy:*** To most of us, the economy is treating us bad and it's very hard to cope with short or long term savings. Most people are managing to provide food for a daily living, paying school fees, house rent and other necessities, this now make it difficult for people to save out of the little one they have. You'll agree with me that the people that patronizes insurance companies more are the rich people in the country. They have enough to eat and pay for necessities and as well as excess to put into savings... especially the politians 🧐.
*****Skeptical on the benefits:***** The truth is that, MAJOR benefit of the policy comes when the person that bought the policy dies or when the insured property damages. Would you want your beautiful car to get stolen or blazed down by accident? Or Would you want to die so your children enjoy?🤣. Some people also try to outsmart insurance policies on this aspect by buying a policy when they know their fixed date of death already 🤣, so if they die the children will be in money. But insurance policies are aware too so they run a medical check up to see the health state of the person. Unless the person has a spiritual means to die.
***Scam:*** Up till now a lot of insurance companies are still folding up and this has done more harm to faithful companies. I remember when I went out to market, one of my prospects said it out that she can't save money for a long duration with any insurance company because they always fold up at the exact time someone's policy is due. It's very true, it's just like normal investment companies that have less sponsors or support, when they suffer little bankrupt they fold up.
***This is my brain work as I supposed to make researches to make it more educating but I decided to write it on a free-hand. There are lots of benefits of insurance as well as its disadvantages too. My take is that, always research on the company you're investing with... should I call it DYOR🤗?***

Killers within
**Good day my lovely people🖐️**
Hope you're all good?
I know I'm not the only one that hate dip, I checked my wallet this morning and saw that the dip has gone deeper. OMG! We hope things bounce back to normal soon.
Yesterday being Wednesday, our boss went out and came back with a more like a good news report.
Before now they've been massive killings of motorcyclist in the community I resides. No one knows the reason for the killing, no one knows the people behind the killing, the bad events happen in a flash, before day breaks another news of killing must have been released.
Image source https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/rider-motorbike-road-riding-having-fun-driving-empty-road_4670726.htm#query=Motorcyclist&position=0&from_view=search
There's no day that would pass that there won't be dead report of these motorcyclists, at a point everyone concluded that maybe their **Union(motorcyclist union)** had offended a group of people, or maybe one of the motorcyclist had an accident and claimed a life and the relatives of the victims are set out for revenge....but who knows?
Our boss said one of the killers was apprehended by the police yesterday and when he was interogated he confessed easily, that he's alone on the job, maybe there are other people doing the task but he doesn't know. His target is to kill the motorcyclist, collect some vital parts for some feltish rituals and as well collect the bike to sell it off.
**How he carryout his actions..**.
He said her only pattern is his girlfriend which acts more like a bait. He'd send this his girlfriend into town to lure motorcyclists to the bushy areas. She'll go out, buy food & bags of water and get a bike that would take her inside the area, it'll look like she's taking food to people working in a building site inside the bush and once the bikeman gets there, the boyfriend will step out from the bush and attack the bikeman. I believe he uses feltish power to do all those fighting because he can't always dominate with his normal human power.
According to the story, they said the bikeman miraculously escaped the attack and ran for his life, called the police and tracked them because he had seen the faces. Luckily these people were yet to fly away from the city and that was how they were caught yesterday.
The news spread abroad yesterday, everyone were saying they need to interrogated the suspect more, to say more because definitely he must know others involved. And that's very sure, if he's collecting the special organs of the body for rituals, he should lead them to the ritual house, maybe from there more truth will be revealed.
After the whole stuff yesterday I began to imagine, these people are heartless. How do they stand to kill a fellow human to the extent of butchering and taking some parts of the body. Just imagine the scenarios, they'd kill with either strangling the head or use knife to Pierce the neck. It doesn't count to them at all that it's human they're slaughtering and not goat, ram or chicken. The heart of men is full of evil.
Lead image source https://www.freepik.com/free-photo/black-criminals-wore-head-yarn-gray_5219058.htm#query=Terrorist&position=4&from_view=search
Even the so called girlfriend that's involved, a lady for that matter engaging in killing. I used to think ladies are softhearted when it comes to things of the dead but this one is a big opposite. May God have mercy.
This issue has changed the motorcycle transportation pattern here. They're now being more careful in how they deal in their business. Any drop leading to inner roads they don't go there anymore, no matter the price you're set to pay. Prevention first!
Once it's night you hardly see bikes around to take you to your destination. If you luckily see one, he'll tell you he's going to stop along the road and not entering inside the street and this usually comes with high billing.
My people, In this end time things are really happening. Human beings are now treated like animals. No regards for life.
We pray bad things don't come to us. Amen.
**Thanks for reading and stay safe.**

He noticed the dead body
Hello People!
I'm very sure you all are good and bouncing in good health.
Yesterday I was unable to publish because I resumed work yesterday and had a lot to tackle because when I left they didn't shut down, so some records were left untouched. But it's good because I was able to visit as many articles yesterday and I count it as a fulfilled day.
`Wondering if the topic is clickbait? Just read🤗`
My today's topic will be talking on some slight advantages of movie. I know I once wrote how tiring to see movies these days but yeah, I really love movies. The issue there is the unavailability of time and chance. Let me quickly give you a brief story.
Hey sponsors, I love you all ❤️
Last year May, I was called that my maternal grandmother has passed on, she was staying with us before she died. On the day she died, it was noticed by my youngest siblings(lastborn) which is about 7years. How did he know?
Image source https://unsplash.com/photos/bsk8f6BVSHc
From what they said because I was not there, they said early morning around 6:00am my brother woke up and found mama not breathing anymore, he quickly went to knock at my mom's door, called them to check because it's like grandma is dead. My mom heard it and was shocked at what the small boy just said, "how could he know when someone is death?" That was the question she murmured in her mind. They quickly rushed to check and they confirmed that of a truth, grandma was gone.
As woman of course, cry busted out that moment and alarm was raised that awakened every neighbor.
Fastforward, burial was done and everything started bouncing to normal gradually.

**How did he know that grandma was dead?**
When they asked him how he knew that grandma was dead or has he witnessed where someone died before, he said he got the ideas from movies and that got everyone amazed.
I considered this as some of the good benefits of children watching movies, learning some basics of life and able to detect dangers when they come.
I know movies have a way of influencing children negatively especially the er*tic and rubbery contents but what can I say, for anything that has an advantage must surely have its disadvantage at the corner. I remember when @Bilqees wrote about a child that jumped from a storey building because he wanted to act super, just because he found himself on a Spiderman custom bought for him by his Uncle. That's the wrong practice 🤗.

**Movies for adults.**
Do you learn from movies or you just watch for pleasure? I once had a friend that questioned my sharp capability to be reading subtitles while watching a movie (a movie with subtitle). He said he can't find himself watching any movie that can't be watched without subtitle, that's a big turn off for him. I told him I love it because I grasp more of the spoken words there compared to just listening (with regards to foreign movies though).
Aside this, it gives a good platform to learn the meaning of some words and know how to read faster. This may not work for others but I learn while reading subtitles while watching the movie.
Also, in as much as I watch movies for fun, I love to learn divers cultures of different countries. It's in movies I got to know that some countries don't bury a dead body as the normal excavation of the earth to deposit the dead body, but they set the body ablaze. After seeing series of movies of this feature I made some researches and found out that it's true, those cultures are still in existence. Movies transports us virtually to different part of the world to witness the amazing cultures of the world.
What about technology? This is another feature I open my eyes very wide to see whenever I'm seeing a tech movie. Although most those technological features displayed on movies are not really in existence, Especially the human teleportation. But I've wondered severally, since they "brained" it out for movies, why can't they make it a reality? I know they are coming to that, it'll just take time a little years to come out.
After seeing a movie that portrayed human teleportation, I was eager to know its reality so I went to make some researches and I found out some YouTube videos that looked real but it's still doubtful. You see what movie can do? It helps to broaden our brains in research.
**The hilarious one!**
In my work place we have access to DStv, that's to say we can change channels to watch any movies, both foreign an local. Our manager (A young man) likes to watch local channels(AFRICAN MAGIC URBAN, ROK[more of urban movies] etc), these movies portray more of relationship life and they're often times focused on CHEATING IN RELATIONSHIPS AND MARRIAGES. The other ladies likes local channels too but the EPIC ones while I'm nowhere close to their likes because mine is football and most times I'm the remote controller.
So they (the ladies) always murmur when MANAGER changes the channel to the one he likes. One day they asked him why he likes that channel and what he said got everyone surprised. He said the Channel is to teach the young ladies on how to handle relationship, that he puts the channel for them to learn. Mtcchwwwww! Is that it? Those cheating cheating movies! That's thoughtful of him.🤣

Fraud: Let's say the truth
Hello People!
I'm sure the 3rd day of January 2022 went well there, it was absolutely a blessed day here. I received lots of visitors from cousins and we really had a nice time discussing about the Yahoo trend in town. I came to find out that almost every youth in my community are into this fraudulent acts and it's so alarming.
These cousins of mine revealed to me also that almost all the committed youths in our church are fully into it but on a low-key level. Before now I knew of some of them but I was shocked to know that the people we see at fore front are camouflaging🤗.
Their involvement in the act is not my problem though but the cover up People are giving them is what's surprising me. Their parents are aware and covering them up and not challenging them...most of these parents are top People in church that preaches against this acts but it got to their children and all mouth got shut.
**🔹Zed:** Zed is a son of a Deacon in our church...you know value of the post of a Deacon. I and Zed were close then because of our age grade, even though I'm older than him i chose to bond with him because I found him smart, though he looks dull on his appearance but if you get closer to him, you'd find out that he has divers ideas on various subjects and thoughts. We seldom talk on WhatsApp but we go well with status Views. I got to know he's into the fraudulent acts when I saw what he posted on his status one night, I jokingly told him I knew what's up and that was when he opened up to me. He gave me details of the large amount of money he had been paid(they call it cashout). He told me not to let anyone know because he's hiding everything even from his parents and I concurred because I don't have a problem with that.
He even talked of showing me the basics because he wants me to follow suit and enjoy big money but my spirit didn't go with it. Middle of last year, I heard that he was swimming in a large ocean of money, he bought a motorcycle and bought pieces of lands at home town. I wondered the possibility of him hidding the investment from his family because he can't buy a land without the consent of his dad and mum. That was when I assumed that no matter what, the family had found out...
Today when this cousin of mine came, he told me that the parents of **Zed** are fully aware that he's into the act but told him not to make it obvious. I wasn't shocked because I had the conviction that the parents were aware already. In a nutshell, they gave their son a go ahead.
**🔹Mr Jude:** Mr Jude was a brother as at last year July before he got married ( you know that Bro. and Mr. title). This was a guy I introduced to work at the church office when I was leaving village, the salary was not that much but he agreed to work to earn a living. We talk very well also, but I never knew he's into this fraudulent act. The first time I got his house, I was shocked to see the gadgets in his house but I took it as someone that was once lucky with financial fortune (do you know why? I can't comprehend that someone staying in a well furnished house would descend so low to go for that job).
July last year, he gave me invitation to his wedding and i got amazed too on how he was able to organized money for wedding. I traveled home that day for the wedding and it was really a big party. Nigeria currencies were made to rain on air by his friends. Doings!
Although before now, someone had told me that the guy is into Yahoo but I never believed because he has a small shop running in another state.
Fastforward, just before the end of next year, he built a house and moved in, also bought a car. "From where? From that salary" Lol.
It became obvious that it wasn't just the salary nor the little stipends he was getting from his shop that did all these but he's into the trending acts(fraud). Everyone knew, both the pastors but they didn't asked or questioned him.
It was today also when my cousin came that he told me that everyone were aware both the pastors but they didn't dared to question him. So bad!

**My thoughts**
Do you know that most of these people practicing this acts soil their hand in rituals before they'd be able to get the peak of their actions? They kill or perform some dirty rituals in order to help boost their speed in achieving a huge amount of money from their clients.
Parents or people concerned are not doing anything to curb this acts, maybe because their sons give them money.
Letme give you a brief story about a guy that went and got mad;
*A young man was influenced by his group of friends to join them into this acts due to the fact that his business wasn't productive. They told him it doesn't involve human sacrifice, that a goat would be used and he agreed. They went to market, bought the goat and took it to the spiritual head's house. They got there and the spiritual head told him to take the goat by the rope and move forward to a tree to tie the goat there* ***WITHOUT LOOKING BACK****. He agreed also but on his steps going towards the tree he became anxious and wanted to see why the man instructed him not to look back, he decided to look back and shockingly he saw himself dragging his mom with rope on her neck and that was it. He ran out of the state, got to his village and told his people what happened and the following day he became mad.*
If we say because money is coming our way and by so doing we should cover our children, remember that one day anything might happen. But we say God forbid.
To the church leaders also, you are there to say the truth and lead People on the right track not covering up some dubious acts because maybe you're scared or getting honorarium.

They want to kill me with honour
Hey People!
How is it going over there? You've started tackling the task of the year already? Take it easy sir/ma.🤗
Yesterday, I was relieved from work around 5:00pm to travel home to celebrate the NEW YEAR with my family. The time was late already for the trip but I never considered traveling the next day, so I made a quick arrangement, packed my squeezed clothes inside the bag (to get them ironed when I get home), my hair was a little bushy but couldn't wait to cut(planned to cut it when I get home) and I left to the park. I got to park and was lucky to be the number three person they were waiting for the bus to full. I entered and joined them in waiting for the remaining two. We waited for 20mins before the two persons came and joined us. They collected the fair which was double of what we used to pay, we didn't complained because that's always how festive period behaves when it comes to transportation fair.
My generous sponsors
We took off around 6:30pm, the driver maintained a high speed and I loved it. I like it when a vehicle I am is overtaking every other vehicle. We got the **DELSU**(yeah Delta State) and I boarded a motorcycle for another 20mins trip, from there I took another one to my last destination. I got to my community junction and looked out for another motorcycle to convey me to my compound and I was surprised when the motorcyclist called a huge amount for me, just some kilometer drive. Haaa! I had to tell him that I'm not a foreigner if that's what he's thinking. I told him I would trekk if he refuses to admit to my price and later he agreed ( he wanted to use me to gather all the money for the night.lol🤣).
I got home and the jubilation began, "brother! brother! uncle! uncle!" My siblings and all the children around were shouting and jumping. Joy filled the air. I have missed all of them so much. My mum saw me and she the joy in her face was something else. Same thing happened to my dad too but alcohol has held him lol(that's what make the season for him).
I quickly went to Barb my hair at a church member's saloon and the guy was so happy to see me. After the cut he refused to collect money from ne but I refused either. I had to drop the money on the table for him and leave. I'll will tell you why he refused to collect the money later...
I went home back and there was public electricity, I ironed my clothes against church service.
After that I set off to see a very good friend of mine which live at the extreme end of our street. He's not been at home too like me, he came for the season. when I got there we shouted and hugged each other. Damned it's been a full year that we haven't seen! We talked about many things; work, relationship and our church here.
*I and this friend of mine were one time full committed member our church here, infact "commitment" is an understatement of what we did by the grace of God. We were seen as home pastors, we covered up for pastors when they travel home. We related more with the members then because we stood to check on every member when anything happens (when sickness or death occur). I don't know how to describe it ......again,,, As long as the cburch is concerned, we are still in the church record anytime we come around. That's why that barber reduced to collect money from me after the hair cut. The love and honour is just there 💯*
Before now, they had transferred the pastor that was there last year when we visited and I haven't met this new one, which is somehow going to be awkward because I know those pastors that know me would like to do introduction even when I don't want to be noticed this time around.
So I decided to attend church late just to dodge introduction before church service and also to dodge being given an assignment to officiate at the altar.(due to past records they normally call us to sit with them at the altar as one of the officiating minister for the day but I don't like it because it looks somehow being the first time to meet the pastor).
So yeah, I went late to church when the service has started, Immediately I highlighted from the bike, those elderly mamas outside started hailing and rushing to greet me and I felt joy(just imagine that scenario). I got to where they were and gave them a hug and greeted very well. I entered inside the church auditorium and everywhere was lovely, People were waving at me from their seats, the love and honour was just too much. I tried not to look at pastor's side to avoid being called because I know what those assistant pastors could do and suddenly an usher walked up to me and said the senior pastor said I should come and sit with them.

At this moment I was confused, I came late in order to avoid this kind of call and and the lateness could not stop it. I had to humbly go and meet then which they offered me a seat to sit along side with them. I was given an assignment to take during the service.
After the service, the main greeting began People were happy to see me, I made sure I greeted all the faces I knew. The picture freaked ladies offered for a selfie and I concurred immediately.
After the service we went into the church office with the pastor for normal greetings and introduction and the assistant pastors introduced us well as one of the backbone of the church during those days... It's good to be good.🤦
The church is the place I call second home after my family house. I met people in the church that we bond like blood family. I felt so honoured being in the midst of them.
________________________
**Conclusion**
Wherever you may find yourself, always give your best because it'll surely speak for you.
I'm not into pastor stuff of a thing but anytime I come around I'm always celebrated and given an amazing honour. Not just the church per say but the whole community. At the time to writting this, I've been indoors since I returned from church, I have people to visit but if I step out now, I'm very sure i wouldn't be able to cover much because I'd be called to stop at different spots and houses for for greetings. I'm considering to move at night.
Sorry for bringing this long length rants🤦. I'm out of topic and decided to write how I've spent my day at home town.
**Thanks for reading.**

BestvsWorst: My experiences of 2021
**Hey People!**
**Happy New Year!🧨🧨☀️🌟🌟🧨🎆🎇**
So thankful to God for all He has done for us all through last year and we pray for a better this Year 2022. Amen!
Hope you had fun celebrating the moment of the cross over? I had the fullest of excitement, they were fireworks and firecrackers everywhere in the church and that was because our new FLEXIBLE Pastor allowed it, he announced that shooting of bangers is allowed. The new year met me at the duty post as an usher in the church and I'm glad for that. We keep serving the Lord.
During last year, I had some tough and cool experiences, some of the tough experiences were more than tough, some appeared worst and it broke down my system. Also, some amazing moment stepped in to wipe this worst situations off. These experiences are what make life **"life".** What's life without problems and joy?
*I like to taste rougheness before smoothness, hence my WORST comes first before the BEST 🤗*
**My worst experience of 2021💔**
[I can never name my child FRANCIS]
Sometime last two years 2020, i had a WhatsApp group chat that consisted of people from all areas of Nigeria. It was a money making platform where we share ideas on anything money making. Ponzi was actually the flow of that period as it was making us to get rich quick and well as the otherwise.
As we grew in numbers, we found ourselves bonding like family, we cater for each other in terms of finances. Due to the bonding, we started craving to see each other (for people that lives within same area).
In the group, they were teachers, students, married People, corpers and soldiers etc. Based on the being the **boss** of the house, I had more relationship with them and I enjoyed it. There's one of them, a lady, I'm still in possession of her coins she bought with my trustwallet. That's to tell you the extent of the bond.
**Then what happened?**
One of the members FRANCIS by name (the soldierman) decided to anchor an investment site which he planned to trade with the money from People's investment and give them back a percentage on a proposed period. It wasn't a new thing to us because most of the members of the group had done that and some ended well while some ended with heartbreaks.
This guy decided to carry me along to help him promote his site due to my influence. I made sure to be convinced that he won't scam the people because that will stain my name and he gave me assurance that he's not going to scam.
To make it more beautiful, the guy is a soldier that travels a lot, so when he came to my state he called to see if there's possibility of us seeing and amazingly we saw. He was the only person I've met one on one and that gave me the confidence to carry on with the site promotion.
Fastforward, I fronted the movement for the growth of the site with my full capacity and almost everyone in my group investment huge amount of money because of me. The first payment day, he paid and the subsequent ones, excuses came that there was no money again to pay.
Do you know what he did? Soldiers have no value for human life at all, he went to a mortuary, painted himself as a balmed dead body in the mortuary, with cotton wool on his nostril and mouth, entered a coffin and his friends snapped him and pasted the multiple photos on his WhatsApp status. It noised everywhere that he was dead. It looked so real for two days and the next day the truth began to unveil that it was a prank which everyone of us fell victim.
He was nowhere to be found and all heats landed on me, they concluded that I planned it all with him. You know how painful that could be. The people I called family suddenly turned against me, dragging me here and there, threatening to report to police or take me to an occultic house. I was pained for the accusations but my mind was clear that because I had no hand in whatsoever he planned, and moreover I lost $65 to the system too.
April last year, I had to dissolve the WhatsApp Group to distance myself away from them. Seeing them talk trash and all manners was something I couldn't bear. I decided to leave them and find peace somewhere. It was so heartbreaking because I lost People that were part of my daily life.
***Adjust your trust level on people 💯***

**The BEST experience**
[I found a family]
*My article is long already so I'd summary this.*
Permit me to say READCASH is one of the best that happened to me this year. I'm not saying to fall suit with what people have written. I know where I am coming from. I feel like I'm home here, the earning also is superb. I know I haven't earned much but I'm grateful I'm earning here while working in the real world too.
I've met friends that I'm fond of, reading their articles interests me and if I have opportunity to see them, I'd quickly jump on it. What about my sponsors? The people I feel they are paying me for earning for myself. The love is immeasurable! Thanks to @Kushyzeefor bringing me here.
To wrap it up, those people we parted ways due to the scam saga returned back before the end of the year to plead for forgiveness because the guy, FRANCIS later approached them to tell them I had no hand in whatsoever ever that happened. But I know he wouldn't dare to come to say such to me cause I'll curse hell to his life. I've forgiven him but don't want to see or get close to him again.
I'm glad I ended the year with these people knowing that I'm innocent.

Wrong Happenings on New Year Eve
Good day here🙌.
Right now the joy in the air can't be measured, everyone hyping, jubilating and anticipating for the 2022. All manners of activities going on in the preparation of the D Day tomorrow.
If I were to be at home now(at village with family), my dad would have seized the keys to all bikes to prevent us from plying the roads because they believe that the devil is moving around seeking for whose life to cut off this delicate period. Their belief is kinda true though, a lot of accidents happen today just for the wicked ones to infringe pain and sorrow to some families. I remember this day 2012, I had a fatal accident which almost resulted to the death of two(victims) but thank God that no life was lost. That day was just like a movie to me, I saw the whole Actions; the tearing of motorcycle on the tarred road, the summersaults, tearing of flesh...I saw all these happened but didn't had a single scratch.
I was scared that day not for me thinking of dying but scared that those people would not survive...like "I killed People" but thank God they were all saved after they were rushed to the hospital.
Just yesterday too, a fatal accident occured at the front of our office at night , it was between two cars on a very high speed. We were inside when the horrible noise came, it was so loud as those sounds of cars jams in Hollywood movies. The cars got scattered and the victims were rushed to the hospital, no life was lost as that spot, thank God!
You see why the last day of the year is always a different one? Sometimes it looks like that's the day the enemy has chosen to give their last trials on claiming a soul(they normally have targets that must be met...now you know🤣).
Thank you my sponsors ❤️
****What do you do on the cross over night?****
This night has a lot of importance to one's life, and people are very much aware of that(people in my country especially) that's why they don't take it for granted, they make sure they appear in the presence of God at that night.
________________________
***I'm not judging but a lot of wrongs are being practiced.***
________________________
Yesterday, the ladies in my work place were having their dirty conversations and I was with my headphone just to give them a "stay off" signal. I heard them said all manners as regards the crossover Night.
One of them said she want to start the year with f****k after coming out from Church, that she'd be heading to her boyfriend's house immediately church. Like wtf! They asked her why go to church that night if her next Target is to have a marathon f******k with her boyfriend, she said she needed to acknowledge God at that moment to thank Him for all He has done and by so doing He'll keep blessing her as well as forgiving her for her sins. She got a good tactics there but, must it always go that way?
Here in my country, the cross over night is more like a fun-filled event, the approaches and happenings usually get out of hand. Just like the way we witness Christmas celebration where only just few percentage of people acknowledge the main reason of Christmas. A lot of atrocities happens with not regards to the main reason of celebration.
***Just like I earlier stated, I'm not judging anyone, it's a free world.***
During crossover night in my church here (my current city) a lot of people just come to the church to be part of the celebration and after then, they return back to their normal way of life,,,after pleading for forgiveness and repentance, just like what one of my co-workers have planned to go tonight.
The schocking part I've seen was last year. Our church is a big one and very close to a busy lounge, which these people in the lounge often attend from there. I was posted outside the church (overflow) to officiate and I was shocked when I saw a guy smoking marijuana and entering the gate of the church. I had to signal the security to try and collect the marijuana from him, and do you know what he said when they the security confronted him? He said He's just here to appear in the presence of God when it's the time to shout "Happy new year" and nothing more. Hmmmm, interesting!
**My thought**
I know we are all sinners and no one is perfect but I'm just not okay with some acts of people. People who consider to do offensive things in this period/time/season that ought to be kept cool/clean.
Some may ask, "what's the difference if I don't go the wrong way at that moment or these periods and decide to do my sinful acts in a later season, what difference does it makes?". Well, I'm not God to judge or to pass the law, but there's a reason why they preach to abstain from evil or dirty acts always. There's nothing wrong If you start living a clean life and stop acting in ways that displeases God.
Also, some moments of our lives such as the crossing over night to the new year day are meant to be kept cool, if you're planning to go back to your sinful acts after the "Happy New year" shouts and jubilation, please give it a long length before returning.
***Look at this example:***
***If you were God and finds out that someone that just left your presence is in a dark place committing all manners of atrocities, won't you be touched? Oh! Because God is a merciful God, right?***
**I'm not judging.**
**Happy new year in few hours!🎉**
Yeah, it's time to unveil my face
Hello good people!
I bring special greetings from my hood to your all this morning(if it's afternoon or night there, yeah the same greeting goes). Hope you're all good and buckling up to jump into 2022? We shall all get there with joy, Amen.
**So today I'm going to unveil my face and you are going to see how I look.**
Yesterday I was tagged in an article by @McYusuf which he wrote about the three pics that well described him in the year 2021. He turned it to a challenge for anyone that cares to join. You can read it here. https://read.cash/@McYusuf/my-2021-in-three-pictures-0d1125b0
Actually, I'm not the type that hides identity but I'm just trying to be on a low-key as I'm kinda new user here, but I'm a month plus though. So I think this is an opportunity for me to show my face to my lovely friends here because I've seen handsome and beautiful faces of some of my friends here.
I'd choose to go with the pattern he used, just three pics that pointed out anything good in this year, before the year ends.
Before I post the first one I think I should give you a clue of the kinda face you should be experienting so you wouldn't regret seeing the other side of what you were expecting. Lol.
Well, I'm A Nigerian and you know the type of skin we have here...letme just stop and start🤦.
________________________
This photo was taken around February this year, 2021 when I went to home-village to check on some family stuffs. I left my house(city) very early in the morning around 6:00am and I got the village about 9:00am. I met my family and love filled the air. I don't know how my boss(my pastor then) knew that I was around, I just received his call and when I picked he said he just called to check on me. I asked him whether he knew I was around he said no, that he just called. Since he has known that I was around, I decided to meet him at the church office. I took this picture coming back from the church.
The road/environment is surrounded by bushes because it's newly built church.
Check very well, the red roof behind me is the church building. Also those grasses you saw on the background at not mere grasses but crops planted by people, crops like melon and maize.
________________________
Yeah, I'm a church guy and I love it when it comes to getting involved in church activities...I'm an USHER in my church and we usually go with Uniforms when we officiate and the dress code isn't complete without a tie. This was taken in the middle of the year after the closure of church service that day. The picture was shot by one of my close female friend in the ushering unit.
Hey let me tell you, I'm the guy that's picture freaked and that's what ladies like. So at every closure of a church service, they'd come and drag me out for photoshooting which I always love as well. I'd give them a good shot but when it comes to their turn to do the same, they'd give me an awkward snaps. But I have just exceptional one that knows how to handle camera. She was the one that gave me this shot. Also on this day, I had a lot of combined photos with these beautiful ladies but permit me not to share. Lol.
________________________
I decided to choose this as my last because it has a lot to say about this year.
This photo was taken earlier this month(December), it was during the yearly Thanksgiving and celebration of the year. We wore white native attires and it looked cool on us.
At the end of every year, we come back as a Unit to return thanks to God for all he did go us for the year both as a unit and individual and with this, God keep protecting and providing for us.
As a custom, we normally buy gifts for the church, not common gift but things that will be useful in the church such as Chairs, Sound instruments etc. And to wrap it up, we cook and eat together with loads of joy. This day, I snapped a lot of pics, both personal and combined photos with those beautiful ladies but permit me to show only this one. Those children in our midst were the little children we are grooming up for the task when they come of age. The normally do their little assignment in the children classes.
You saw me there, right? Check well.

Who's talking about finest or ugly?
I find this fun sharing my pics here, whether ugly or fine, big head or small head, slim or chubby, dark or fair. It's all fun!
Now that you've seen how I look, I know that those ladies here that I've been cutting eyes for would now shift away...(let me not call names yet).🤣🤣

`Thanks all for the support, you guys are my backbone here`
How do you guys cope with movies, gaming & Read.cash?
Hey good people!
How is it going over there, hope you are all good?
***Disclaimer:*** *This article is more like a rant, so.... Thank you🙌*
I missed publishing an article yesterday because I gave myself to a full leisure hour yesterday seeing a movie. Not that I was away from work, No. I managed to utilized some free hours that customers weren't around.
Lately, I've found watching movie as a waste of time, considering the nature of work duration and engagement in this platform (read.cash). I become envious of people whenever I hear them saying they saw this and that movies, "like where do they see time?" And most of these people are the top People with large number of subscribers here.
I always have articles I haven't visited and with this, the interest of movie would just vanish. Yeah, money should be considered first and not fun, so I'd choose money to fun...this has quenched my love for movies recently.
Yesterday I decided to relief my workaholic brain with an interesting movie, a movie that's so common and popular.
Just like I mentioned in one of my articles about my inability to flow with a trending movie when it's released due to unavailability of chance and I don't fancy those **"pay to watch or subscribe to watch such as Netflix, showmax etc"**, I love it when the movie is on local sites where they're downloadable.
Yesterday I decided to get that **SQUID GAME** movie series from a friend(that downloaded) to chill out while at work. I'm a big fan of Kdrama so I knew the movie would make sense also coupled with the hype from social medias.
There's one time I love when it comes to foreign movies, I hardly watch without a subtitle so I used my **MX Player** to sort for the subtitles which they came out and I downloaded.
Actually, I had the intention to watch one or two episodes but when I started it pushed me to another realm of the world entirely. I became so glued to the screen with my earpiece on my ears. Customers were coming in a seldom mode so that means no or little disturbance.
The first game(Green Light, Red Light) on the first season really got me wondering, see how they killed hundreds of people without mercy, just a shake you're gone. This first episode made me to find more interest to continue enjoying myself knowing the dangers ahead with the critical games.
By 7:30pm, I found myself still glued to the movie(it took me long because my attention was drawn out also) and that was when I remembered that if I should really continue with movie I won't be able to follow up with read.cash. I was at the last episode and wanted to call it a day so I could visit articles too but No, something was pushing me to finish it to the end. Based on the suspense of the movie I had to concur and watchedto the end.
My sponsors 💯
**Then My eyes opened**
After the movie, I quickly went to my readcash to see what's up and write too, but the notification got me weakend. I saw a piled up articles to visit and I was like "where do I start from?". " I should have let this movie go, see how it took my whole day doing nothing", I regretted 😢.
I started pondering my relaxed brain to come up with a topic but nothing was forthcoming. So I decided that I would write when I got home at night (around 9;30pm).
Funny enough also, when I got home I met light (public electricity) and there were client's clothes to iron which I quickly jumped on pressing the clothes because I don't often meet light at home. I was working on the clothes halfway when the light was seized, the time was 11pm already, I took my bathe and entered bird with the intention to type anything the comes to my mind as an article but sleep won my shallow mind. I woke up by 5am this morning and smiled over the happenings yesterday.
Conclusion.
I must commend those people that still shuffle their times in movies and gaming coupled with read.cash, noice.cash and other physical works or schooling.
Like how do you guys to do it? Is there something I'm missing? Please carry me along. If there's a place you guy tap to gain super power here, please show me I wanna tap🤔.

Stiff neck after sleeping
Hello good people!
How are you all? The celebration is still bubbling there or everything is now on low-key? It's still bubbling here at my work place, parents bringing their children for ice cream treat, married couples trooping in to have nice time, unmarried couples flashing in with lovey-dovey swag🤣🤣.
`Special thanks to you all for the support so far via your reads, likes, comments, upvotes and SPONSORSHIP. I love you all❤️. Take a look at my sponsors, three came in few days and some renewed theirs. I'm loved`
**Have you experienced a stiff neck pain after you woke up from sleep?**
This is my second time experiencing this drama, the first one occured four years ago which I can't remember how the pain later disappeared, though I took drugs before the pain was severe and of course, the medicine didn't effect the relief.
**Stiff Neck After Sleeping**: From People around (Especially my parents), they said this pain comes when someone sleeps in a way he or she is not supposed to lie down. Maybe if you are used to a common pattern of placing your body while sleeping and you eventually adopts a sudden new pattern, that there's tendency of the neck being dislocated or misplaced and this bring pain because the neck would find it difficult to turn because it's stiff.
Another one also, they said if you're used to soft bed and decide to lay on floor(either ordinary floor or a floor that has a piece of clothe spread on it), there's every possibility of the neck to become stiff when you wake up.
And some other instances I've forgotten...
When this comes, it doesn't accept medicine for relief, it goes off on its own and that takes a maximum of three days.
**My neck became stiff on the 26th December morning.**
*"Did I had a dream that we engaged in a boxing exercise that maybe my opponent gave me a hot blow on my neck?"* Hahah🤣. That was the funny thing I thought that early morning when I woke up because it was the boxing day. I woke up with heavy pain on the left side of my neck that made it so difficult for me to turn properly. Due to the fact that I already know that processes behind it, I decided to manage it like that till the end of the day.
But during the afternoon period, I decided to go out to buy some stuffs across a road, I got the the road to cross to the other side, when I turned my neck to check left side to see if any vehicle was coming, I felt the pain and it was sharp this time. Immediately I got back, I had to ask my co-workers and staffs what they think could remedy the situation without drugs. Some suggested I should be twisting my neck while some suggested that I should use the other side to sleep all through the night yesterday in other to balance it up.
**The funny remedies today🤣**
Just like they said that it doesn't last long, I was expecting it to disappear this morning when I woke up from sleep today but the pain was as it was yesterday. My mind was telling me to go for drugs(knowing fully well that drugs don't have a say here), but no, I'm not ready to swallow drugs today.
I got to my barber's shop this morning and I told him my experience, he suggested that I should use towel to round my neck tonight while sleeping, that the towel will absorb the pain, massage my neck and I'd find my neck okay when I wake up the following morning. It sounded funny so .I laughed so loud🤣🤣🤣.
Getting back to my workplace, I decided to branch at the chemist shop close to us to see if he could offer any remedial process aside drugs. And he gave me the funniest of all. He said I should use a stick of **mat** to tie round my neck. **"Do you mean mat?"** I asked him and He answered "Yes". He said not just any mat but mat that have been on use, that I should pull out a line or rope from the mat and use it to tie round my neck, that it has the capacity to absorb the pain and return the pain to the mat. Hahahah he sounded mysterious, like a magical power in a used mat.
All these while I didn't bothered to check on Google to get some ideas...
How about you? Have you heard so encounter? Did you used any local means to conquer it or you used drugs? Feel free to let us know on the comment sections.
Thanks for reading

**Happy boxing day 🤸**
I know most of you woke up late from bed today because of the long groovy Christmas day. Today is another day to continue the merriment. If I were to be at home (family) this day, I would have gotten up very early to supervise kitchen work because the chicken leftovers can't totally be controlled by my siblings, especially my twin sisters. I guess I haven't told you I have twins as siblings. Two beautiful ladies 😍.
Today I want to talk about how God programed this world and humans in terms of selection especially when it comes to friendship and relationship.
It's always funny to me anytime i sit down to reason how He(God) designed our heart, I must say He's a good creator. He made us in such a way that we have absolute control of our choices.
Take a look at my sponsors💯
Okay, have you seen or experienced where a young lady is dying for(deep interest) a guy and the guy is dying for another lady? You've seen such situation, right? Or you are currently on that spot too? Lol.
The funny thing again is that, the lady the guy is dying for is tripping for another guy and the chain continues like that... I've had so many experiences on this aspect but permit me to share a scene I witnessed on a friend, before coming to mine if my mind is fair enough to share 🤦.
*I had a friend (let me use his name as* ***Morrison****), he's a kinda pastor but not fully ordained as he works with the pastor and I was his closest friend. He was around 24years old then without a girl, not that he doesn't want but the lady he wanted was giving him tough time to accept his proposal. Then TINA came on the scene, started tripping for this friend of mine. She was giving all manners of greenlight but Morrison wasn't catching anything. Meanwhile, Tina was a member of the drama unit, a committed member that doesn't miss any church activity. This lady became so obsessed with Morrison that she intensified her church engagement just to see more opportunities of meeting Morrison. The whole stuff became so alarming and People started to notice their movements, to the extent that they concluded they were dating. For people to easily believed that was fair, because Morrison was always seen with her in order not to make her feel snubbed or rejected. But he just had to put a stop to all her moves when the news was noised abroad that they were dating. That was when my friend Morrison opened up to tell me that Tina asked him out. Wft! I laughed to the core that day🤣. He said she was crying while confessing her feelings for him and he couldn't say no, so he insisted that they should be close friends and see how it goes...that was what gave the girl the opportunity to become more clingy to him.*
*All those while Morrison has been dying and chasing after a lady that his heart beats for and the lady was stylishly rejecting his proposal. I asked him why he decided to go for a lady that's not giving him any chance at all when there's someone that want to be with him by all means, he said he likes to go to where his heart belongs. We later found out that the lady he has been chasing at was busy working her ways to go back to her ex🤣. This world is not balanced.*
It sounds funny, right? But to be sincere I love how God made it so, I know it hurts to be chasing after someone and get rejected but have you thought of the fun?
Sometimes I sit down and have a flash back to times that I've been rejected by ladies I tripped for so many years ago, I laugh when recounting all those moments and the things I did trying to please them. The funniest thing I did then was helping a girl to repair her spoilt phone that costed up to $7 all in the process of enchanting her heart, but no, her heart was after someone. She later opened up after so many years while chatting on messenger that those times I was chasing her, she had two boyfriends then and was crushing on another to make it three boyfriend (tripple dating), that I'm too good for someone like her that was why she never opted to my request.
This is how the world and the heart of man(men and women) were created, it's been programed for us to have full responsibility of our choice. That's why we have choice of religion, you decide on the path to follow. We also have the choice of life and death, if you choose life you live, if you choose death, you die. Life is all about choice.
When you're going after someone and he or she is rejecting you, give him or her space, don't force yourself, know that he or she has choice on what to like and accept.
If you are being liked too and wanted please....(let me leave the space for you to complete in your heart 😍).

Christmas Day: Almost a ruined day
Merry Christmas to my wonderful people here. How is the groove going over there? I'm sure your stomach is battling with space now hahah🤣🤣.
My Christmas came on a different side... I slept late yesterday night because there was NEPA light (public light) which I took advantage to press some clothes. Also there was high blast of bangers(firecrackers) at a lounge very close to my house. The loud noises were so disturbing and scary as well because some of the shots were hitting my window. The people shooting were the Yahoo boys(gang of internet fraudsters) and you know how they do their stuffs. They turned the banger shootouts into a competition and I must admit, it was fun watching them. I came outside and took some shots📸 of their displays. I slept around 1:00am and woke up around 4:30am...a very short night for me.
I glanced through my phone and saw lined up messages of "Merry Christmas" from loved ones, including group messages as well. I replied some and left some(I didn't snubbed🤔)
**My phone got spoilt 😢**
It was time for me to take my bathe and prepare for work, but I needed to fill some buckets with water before leaving incase the water in the tank get finished before I return. I took the largest bucket, filled it and it was time to lift it to it's supposed spot. I was with my phone at that spot and instead of me to drop the phone somewhere I decided to place it in my mount(like, uisng my mouth to hold the phone while I used my hand to carry the handles bucket). I lifted the bucket and just few inches to the where I was supposed to drop it, the bucket got torn from where my hands were holding it. In a bit to rescue the bucket from damage, my phone fell from my mouth and dropped at the same time with the bucket filled with water. My floor got filled with water, I quickly picked my phone from the floor, tried to dried off the water from the phone in order not to cause damage but unfortunately the phone had started malfunctioning already, it was displaying the booting logo(Infinix) but refused to settle.
I took broom and packer to bail out river of water in my room, I took my bathe and set out to work with the first priority of going to a phone repair workshop. Immediately I got to the office I went to check a nearby phone technician close to our office but unfortunately he had not resumed, the time was early so I didn't give it a double thought of maybe he wouldn't come today before it's Christmas.
All these while, I was so restless, I was deeplymissing my phone already, my phone is just like a girlfriend to me, it's my best companion. I just prayed that let the phone be repairable because I can't imagine staying the whole of Christmas without being On-line.
Around 9:00am, I checked him again and luckily I met him, I gave it to him with explanation of the suspected fault which he concurred immediately and charged me instantly. Haaaa! He didn't even bothered to check the fault when he billed me.
Fast forward, I dropped it and told him I'd check back by 2hours time and he agreed. It got to time, I went there to take my phone and as usual I met him just opening the phone. I couldn't wait so I went back. An hour time again, I got there and met him still on the phone, I had no option than to wait and watch him do it because if I leave, he might leave it again. So I waited till he finished,I inserted my sims to check his work and I found out that sim was not contacting, finger print was not functioning. I dropped it with him to recheck, he did and everything worked perfectly. I paid him $10 and happily collected my baby(my phone).
I was so happy because I can now continue my journey here without a break. When the phone broke down, I thought of my possible absent here and that might get my account spammed but thanks to God that everything is now fixed.
I became Happy also recovering my phone on this merriment day, just few minutes of being away and it's like I went to another world.
At the time of writing this, they just served us A GOAT MEAT PEPPER soup and I'm enjoying myself😋😋😋
**Merry Christmas everyone. Lovey you all🎅🎄🎄❤️❤️❤️**
Friday Morning
Good morning (day) special people. All thanks to God for making us to witness this year's Christmas. The year has been a tough one but God saw us through.
How is it going over there? If you're looking for someone to help in killing that live chicken, please to hit me up.
Is it only me that's see the movement of our dear BCH? I've been waiting for a slight rise for me to sell off some and get money. But i think I'm not selling now, let me still wait for a little increase again.
I woke up this morning around 4:30am, I quickly turned on my phone data to see important messages from WhatsApp which I replied the important ones and snubbed some🤔.
Moved to noisecash to see what's and I found that my last two posts are on pending waiting for approval on the community I submitted to. I got a little angry though but I just have to let go...I know that's how it works for the first time trying to win a community's heart(seeking for auto approval).
When the day had brightened up a little around 6:30pm, I put a call through my immediate younger brother who left for work to a major nearby city (WARRI), I told him if he could help me get two pairs of trousers there when he's coming back which he agreed... I'll be giving him back his money when he comes.
Time got to 7:05am when I remembered that I had to prepare for work, our resumption is by 7:00am and I waited for 7:05am to take my bathe,,,May God help me🤦. I know I'm not the only one fond of this, waiting for the actual time of a function to start getting prepared 😃.
I took a 'manly'(quickie) bathe, got myself arranged within 6mins and set out for office. I took a public motorcycle and not up to 3minutes I got to my work place. I highlighted from the bike and entering the door to out office, I heard a shout **"late comer good morning"**, I turned to see **Blessing** waving at me which I replied and we laughed. Blessing is a lady that's working as an apprentice in a chemist shop close to us, they are four ladies there and I found Blessing more attractive cos of my personal likes on her smiles & talks.
I entered the office and met almost all the staffs engaging in their morning routine, I jumped into mine as well and in a short while, the manager came and did his normal checks also, gave me some tasks to work on once I'm true with my morning routine in the office.
After the routine, I took my nose masks and set out for bank to do daily deposit, when I stepped out of the door, I sighted **Blessing** again and that was when I remembered that I planned to buy a catarrh pills so I used that opportunity to get closer to her. She was excited seeing me closer bla bla bla. I met her boss frustrated, we greeted and he told me that he mistakingly recharged N7,000 airtime from his bank instead of N700. I recommended some online apps that one could sell out the over recharged airtime but he's not the tech time, so he decided to start hunting for who would buy the airtime. Blessing attended to my purchase and I left for bank.
I got to bank(**Zenith Bank**) and met a long qeuee at the gate, because I'm a regular customer I bypassed the queue and went to me the security man which they allowed me to enter. I found out that those people outside were stopped from entering into the bank because they all want to withdraw and meanwhile the bank is in short of cash. Immediately I got to the banking all, one of my customers hailed at me and said I should please come that they've been waiting for me(their eyes are set out looking for Deposit because there's no money to pay those people withdrawing). I got to him, he collected the money and did his normal count, signed and stamped. I have a little thought on how all the staffs were serious with their work, no jingles of Christmas at all. I collected my paper and left, when I got the gate, the security man started hailing me expecting something from me but I dudged🤸.
From there I took a public motorcycle again and went straight to another **bank(Firstbank)**. I got there around 9:00am and met people outside too. I'm a regular customer there too but not on deposit but on a special task, I met the security man and he allowed me enter. I got to bank all and felt the Christmas celebration there, loud sweet Christmas song was playing, the staffs were on **Christmas touch of dresses** while they were taking selfie📸🤳. I moved Straight to the office of the man I came to meet, gave him a paper he's to sign, he signed and I left.
I got outside the gate and met a show trader, I sighted some shoes that I liked, I moved to his shop, we discussed the prices and i bought a pair for about $11. I did money transfer which it delayed for like 20mins before it delivered to his account.
I got to office, took some sachets of powered tea and milk, turn it into a cup filled with warm water and I enjoyed it with bread. I took my catarrh pills and strongly got ready for drowsiness.
As at the time of writing this, the drowsiness has started but I'm outsmarting it by sprinkling water on my face. Lol.
**Sorry for reading my rants today.**
**How are you enjoying your Friday or how was your Friday? Much love here❤️**
**Christmas is here🎄🎅❇️💞🎄🎅**
Have you heard of the recent hell's revelation?
Hello good people!
To me, the Christmas has started already, almost everyone have arrived to their celebration places(mostly home town) and it Seems it's just me left in another man's land. Lol. My siblings have been calling to know why I've waited so long before coming and I've been stylishly answering them, they're yet to know i won't be coming🤦
Some weeks ago I wrote about why some people still find it hard to adopt and adapt to the world of crypto currency, and one of the reasons is that, some people still to think that crypto currency is evil, it's from the pit of hell. I gave many examples to this effect and we all laughed over it....also I talked about stories of different people that claimed they went to heaven and returned to earth.
Just few days ago, videos of a church in Lagos State (Nigeria) have been trending and these videos are loaded with lots of shocking revelations. The church is being headed by a woman that claimed she was once a witch, that she was a super agent of the devil and was trained for 300years(meaning she has lived 300years in the other world). I made some equiries and found out that the name of the church is **RAPEC PROCLAIMER In Lagos state**
I watched the video and saw that she has a large number of congregations. I believe they've been enjoying the correlating words from her as regard making of heaven. Her words have been centered majorly on correcting ways to make heaven. Let's get to look at some of her revelations.
**Any lady that has artificial hair is going to hell fire:** When I heard this I bursted into laughter, if this is true that means just 1% of Nigerian ladies would make heaven. Hahahah🤣. She said the first artificial hair that was produced was done by them(she and her team in the other part of the world). Said the hair was released as a devil's device to get many followers. She mentioned a movie **"Clash of the Titians"**, referring to that ladies hair with many heads of snake as a typical example of the process. She encouraged ladies to remove any form of attachment(artificial hairs) on their heads so they would make heaven. Can you believe that?
**Comedians are going to hell:** She said comedy is of the devil so it's not supposed to be done in church. That any church leader encouraging comedy in church is an agent of the devil. She said also that incase a pastor tells you that you have gift in comedy, revoke the pastor instantly because he's leading you to hell. OMG!
**Consuming Agricultural products is a sin**: Agric products here means farm produce that were cultivated with the help of fertilizers and other breeding means such as using drugs on animals when sick, giving special feeds to fowls to produce eggs, giving special feeds to fishes etc. She said these feeds and fertilizers have capacity to wash away the natural content of our bodies thereby hindering us from entering heaven.
**Every football star is going to hell fire:** This is the part of her teaching got me laughing out loud again. She said any football star at all, either local or international is going to hell fire. That it's the devil that's behind their skills and fame. And if you have a child and he or she is heading towards to the football world, drag him/her down unless you're in support of the eternity of your child. hahah!
So does it mean that all these football G O.A.T we've been supporting are spending their eternity in hell? Hahahahah🤣🤣.
The video below is one of the clips;
https://youtu.be/_FIPdaxPjYo
These are the few I could pick from her teachings, she said so many things concerning this hell of a thing. Even in the music industry, she mentioned some popular artists in my country that they won't make heaven, like it's a done deal because they belong to Illuminati cult.
_______________________
**Conclusion**
Do you believe in all these? Like is it appearing to you that she's saying the truth?
As for me, we've heard lots of these things some times ago, most of them claimed they went to hell/heaven, returned and God showed them things to preach to planet Earth. There was one that said she died, went to heaven, returned back to earth with a God's given date of the DAY THE WORLD WOULD BE ENDING. She noised the news everywhere and we all Waited for the day and nothing happened.
They normally do all these for money's sake(as in selling of these recorded tapes and videos) or promotion aspect (maybe promoting their church or their personalities). Only God knows all.

The Evil Yahoo sacrifices
Hi People!
How are you all? How is the celebration going over there? I know you're having the best of time.
The story I am about telling is a real life occurrence, but first of all I'd like to brief you about the Yahoo boys and their evil activities.
***Yahoo boy*** *is a common name used to address internet fr*udsters in my country. This pattern of fraud is now very rampant that 60% of youths are involved, it's now likely seen as a normal way of survival because the economy here is hard to survive. You'd see boys of 16years old driving exotic cars, lavishing money and going out with ladies bigger than them.*
*I have close friends that are into it which I've tried to talk them out but it can't just work like that. If you are swimming in money already and someone comes to tell you to leave the money and go back to poverty, would you agree? Lol. I guess your answer would be NO. That's how it works, so I've stopped enforcing them to come out.*
*On the actual sense, it's obvious that such acts can't be done with just mere conviction on the client(convincing the client to send billions of $), they make use of feltish power to be able to scam someone and as such, sacrifices are done in the exchange of these powers.*
***Some visit spiritual houses;*** *this is where the spiritual head will tell them the kinda sacrifice to perform, maybe bring a human part, bring undies of a lady, bring semen of a lady, or go to cemetery to bathe at night etc.*
***Some stays with a bigger boss;*** *the bigger bosses are the ones that have acquired the power already, so the upcoming ones would stay with them for weeks or months for proper grooming. It's from this orientation they would inculcate the new ones into the involved rituals.*
***Some visit Churches;*** *it sounds weird, right? Just like I said, I have friends that are into it and they told me everything. I know of a church they visit in the town I'm currently residing. The prophetess prays for them to succeed in their work (scam) and when it works, they return back to pay homage with cars and money.*
***More on the sacrifices...***
*As the day/month/year goes by, so are the innovations of the sacrifices. Most times the sacrifices are channeled on ladies. There was a time where the usage of a lady's pant was the main requirement. That time ladies stopped spreading/drying their undies outside because of theft(people were stealing pants). Another one is the used "sanitary pad" of a lady seeing her menstrual.*
The story...
Angela worked with us in our company some months ago and her house direction was same as mine, so we go home together talking and gisting. Her boyfriend is into this fr*udulent activity and she's cool with it as long as the boyfriend is faithful. Lol( this is their motto😃)
**She told me a story about her sanitary pad that got missing...**
She said there was a period that his boyfriend's cousin came to spend some days with them, she was having her menstruals that period so she was extra careful because she knew that this her boyfriends cousin was into the same act. She would use pad, tie it with nylon and take it to dispose in a very far area because she doesn't want her boyfriend's cousin to know anything about it. But one day, she used three pads and couldn't dispose it that early morning before going to work, when she came back she found only two and one missing. She asked her boyfriend and the boyfriend said he didn't see or noticed it. She summoned courage to ask the boyfriend's cousin and the young man said he didn't see anything such. She became scared and quickly told her boyfriend what she's insinuating. That day, the cousin left their house due to their suspicious acts.
They had no option than to perform sacrifices to null the pad or make it unusable by whosoever that collected it(they knew that someone collected it for rituals and that could be the cousin).
That was when they remembered God, they went to a church and the pastor gave them days to fast and pray. They engaged in the prayer and fasting plus they became serious member of the church that season. After the prayer season, the pastor assured them that the pad can't be used by anybody because it's useless. Angela told me too that recently when one of the boyfriend's relatives came to visit them again (not that first one),she had to bring the used pad to dispose in our waste container in our work place.
**But did that stopped the boyfriend from continuing his fr*udulent works?**
A big No! They only acknowledged God that period and went back to their normal way of life. Before Angela left our company, her boyfriend had bought a brand new car from the Yahoo work, which he uses to take us home every night.
**My thoughts**
There's nothing good in fr*udulent acts, since it demands sacrifice/blood/someone's destiny, it'll backfire one day. They say the evil that men do lives with them.
I'm not wishing Angela anything bad and i pray that the pad the boyfriend's cousin collected won't have effect on her, because most of the effects on the pad sacrifices are on associated with inability to conceive.

Miracle: God saved us from fire 🔥
Hey People!
How are you all? Your Monday went well I guess. My Monday was spent at work and I thank God for the day.
I got back yesterday from work around 9:30pm and I decided to take a little rest before taking my bathe and that was when my crush called, we were talking when I heard a loud bang on my door. I Opened to check who was that and I found out that it was a woman(a next compound neighbor). She shouted that I should quickly come and check because our building was on fire. I had to hung the call and rushed outside leaving my door open.
*My compound comprises of different rooms with rented shops at the front side. I occupy one of the rooms which I'm hardly seen at home because I leave for work by 7:00am and come back 9:30pm everyday. Even my brother that's staying with me has travelled home for Christmas break. The other neighbors are not stable too because they work and the occupants of the rented shops at the front side don't reside there, they only do their business during day time and close by 6pm. So as it stands, People are hardly seen around unless at late hours of the night, say 10:00pm and above.*
When I rushed out, I saw smokes pumping out from the top of the roof, I wondered how come I didn't notice or smelled the smoke because I was inside...no need to reason much, I had to run quickly to the where the control switch was, I met all the wires burning, smoke was gushing out from the place like a burning bush. Thank God I know some electrical ethics, so I searched for a dry wood and luckily I was with my slippers (rubber footwear) and I bravely used the dry wood to pulled the switch off from the contact and the light went off. I ran out from there with heavy cough because of heavy smoke. That was when one of the neighbors came and joined me and the checked other places if there other rooms were burning. But we thank God, the rooms we checked were okay but the rented shops were lucked and I have a key to one them(my boss's wife shop). I opened there to check but thank God nothing was found burning there too. Remaining one shop which we called the man to drive down to open his shop.
Meanwhile, all those while we were checking, the smoke was still oozing out from the zinc(roof) and we assumed that things were still burning inside. But just few minutes, the smoke started to go down.
After a little check, we saw that the burning came from the **change over spot** and the fire/smoke diffused from there.
**That was a big miracle!**
It's All God! We thanked God because He it weren't for God, it would have been another story. If it weren't for God the house would have razed down with sleeping occupants (I was inside my room and didn't noticed a smoke or smell of a burning substance). It's just God. He master planned all things that made it possible for us to survive the incident.
**If No one was around that night!** God made it possible to avail some of us that night, because some nights some of us don't sleep in the compound, some would go and sleep in their friend's place while my case also, sometimes I sleep at work place if work held me. It's God that brought us home that.
**what if it was midnight!** I just imagined it, what if it was around 2:00am while everyone of us were deep in the Dreamland( sleeping), only GOD knows what would have happened. God made it possible for the scene to occur during the busy hour of the night.
**What if my neighbor didn't noticed it earlier?** Just like I explained, I was on call and didn't know what was happening, it's the woman from another compound than came to banged on my door to inform me of the burning roof, it was God that placed her in a position to be able to notice it because as far as it seemed that night, I wouldn't have noticed anything untill maybe...God forbid!
**Conclusion**
Sometimes things happen for God to show us that He still watches over us, He never sleep nor slumber.
We owe Him thanks in every condition we find ourselves, even when we loss anything, He is the reason we didn't loose everything.
He has kept us from the beginning of this year to this last days of the year, He has fought and won battles on our behalf. God is just too good!

Stay off from difficult password
Hello good people!
Wishing us the best of this season.
My blog today is centered on password, yeah password we use for our site and app logins. As we all know, password is a important as seed phrase, when misplaced it'd pose difficulty in accessing an account.
Yeah, passwords are retrievable just as seedphrase are retractable when backed up, but for some sites lack features to retrieve a password when lost. And this case they give a warning about this terms during the time of registration with *"keep your password safe as we won't be able to retrieve when lost"*. Haven't you seen such?
**What's the essence of this topic?**
*Yesterday during afternoon, a friend of mine messaged me on Whatsapp to help him get a particular symbol that he used as his password. He said he lost the first phone he used to open the app(binance app) and the password wasn't saved on Google. Not that he forgot his password, he couldn't find a particular symbol on his phone.*
*He gave me a screenshot of the symbol and I bragged that he should calm down that I'd help him out because that symbol is somewhere in normal keyboard. He said he has searched everywhere and couldn't find it. He said he downloaded many modified keyboard but couldn't not find the symbol as well.*
*I left whatsoever I was doing and began to search, I searched and searched and couldn't find it, I was shocked to see that what I thought it's easy to get was giving tough time. No way! I moved Straight to Google and entered "all hidden keyboard symbols", results came out , the first four results were not helpful at all....This is the sign "****₹₹₹₹₹"****. Because it's looking like a Chinese word I entered "Chinese signs" on Google and the result that came out wasn't helpful too. At this point I knew that the symbol I thought I've seen or used before is now a clean ghost. I had to tell him to go and use "retrieve password" means to access his binance account, but something pushed me again to searched further on Google and miraculously I found it and copied it out (highlight and copy).*
I sent it to him and became so happy, he asked me where did I found it which I told him I got it from Google.
There's nothing wrong in using seldomly used symbols for Password but some should be avoided. Just like this my friend, what if it was later found out that that symbol has been scraped off from the entire keyboard and it's not to be seen anywhere? Lol
*Some years ago, a friend of mine used a smiley emoji for Password, when he misplaced his phone along side with his number which could be used to retrieve the password, he got to a emoji section to select the particular emoji for his password and he got confused because the smiley emoji has multipled identically. God helped him that day after multiple trial that nearly placed his account on suspension (after multiple error trial).*
The ideal password
No doubt password should be strong but don't make it difficult. When it's strong it's unbreakable and when it's difficult, it's "unthinkable"
If you want to add symbols to your password, it's ideal to use those commonly seen symbols such Ash &$#@=€÷|π€{¢...
Going for emoji is not that an ideal unless you're using the commonly used ones.
Although our keyboard differs, because I came to find out(or I should say this my friend told me) that this symbol ₹ is easily seen on some countries keyboard as in India. I don't know how true is that.
**That's for reading**
**5days to Christmas🎅💞🎄❤️🎉❇️**
`I wasn't that active yesterday to visit your articles, when I got chance to rally round that was when the maintenance was going on. Pardon me🙏`
Is it only me?
**Hello good people!**
How are you all? Hope you're all good?
Work was kinda tough today cos it's weekend but I still tried to engage in readcash and noisecash. But to write became a problem because nothing was forth coming. I went to my drafted articles to see if I could pick one from there but I lacked the brain to cough out more info on them so I left them.
But I must write today, I don't want the day to passby like this, and this was when I decided to pick my keyboard and start typing.
I want to use this medium to talk more of myself and the things I do & like.
**Is it only me that prefer to eat swallow to rice, beans, yam and the rest?**
I was really brought up the local way where swallow was our basic food, we Hardly go three days without eating swallow. This became part of me and did a lot of adjustment to my appetite for food. I so much love to eat anything swallow, it's a food I consider as my favorite food. It doesn't mean I eat it everyday or all the time but I will choose it's when placed with other food.
When I was in school, I make sure that garri never finishes in my house, it's just my number one and as well as life savior.
When I talk of swallow, I don't solely mean garri, no! I mean the likes of Semovita, pounded yam, fufu etc but not Amala...my Nigeria People would understand more.
**Is it only me that love horror movies to other types?**
I so much love to watch horror movies, I find so much interest in the display of the magical powers and it makes me to admire them, yeah...I want to possess some powers if I'm opportuned🤔. The **flesh tearing** ones baffles me because it looks real. It's just like the way we butcher chicken, so seeing things like that on movies done to human system is eye catching 🤣.
**Is it only me that doesn't watch a trending movie when it's hot?**
I don't know but I've found myself not fond of rushing to watch a trending movie at that particular time. Although I used to quest for it but those restrictions on download such as, you must watch via showmax or Netflix usually kill it for me. Where I come we wait till it's downloadable before we watch lol. So if the movie is not seen on common sites, I quickly forget about it till smart people start circulating on sites. Another thing again that has made me not be following up with instant streaming of trending movies is time and chance. When I'm not chanced at that particular period, i would postponed it till when I'm free. I can't come and kill myself because I want to watch a trending movie. Do you know that I've been watching **"KING OF BOYS"** for the past two months? Hahahah. Time is Scarce for me. Also, I'm gradually loosing when it comes to movie because I used my little time I've got to be active here.
**Is it only me that doesn't like flowing with trending clothes?**
This is one thing I find it hard to adapt to, whenever a common pattern of fashion is trending and very rampant I hardly go with it at that moment,but with exception of **sport Jersey**.
No matter the class of the fashion/style, if I don't find it cool with my instinct, forgerrit I won't go with it. There's one pattern of fashion that I still find odd today even if top People are using it and it's now more like acceptable by everyone. "Putting one white canvas on a native attire" 🏇🏇🏇
**Is it only me that doesn't argue Bible?**
This is one of the major aspect I love about myself, you won't see me dragging Bible verses with you. If I'm going out to share the word of God, I pray for a silence audience and conviction. Mine is to preach and God's is to let it Pierce into the heart of the listener. Does it mean that I haven't been asked questions why sharing the word of God? It happens oftentimes and when it comes I answer in a knowledgeable way and if I see that the person is dragging it anyhow, I'd leave him after sharing the word I had to share. Anyone dragging scriptures with you on an evangelism ground is intentionally doing that. Yes the Bible stated that we should study to show ourselves approved but that doesn't mean you should go and be stagging scriptural argument when you're out for spiritual works unless it's literal competition. I've said much on this...
**Is it only me that likes the opposite of me when it comes to relationship?**
Science made it clear that unlike charges attract and like charges repels, this works with me often when it comes to liking of the opposite gender for relationship. I quickly fall if the person has the opposite of my stature. Example is, if I'm fair I love to go for the dark and if I'm dark in complexion I'll go for the light skin.
If I'm slim, I naturally fall for the chubby and the reverse is the case if I'm chubby. But this can't work for me when it comes to ugliness. If I'm handsome I love it when the lady reciprocate with beauties 🤣.

Keep off, she's taken
Hello good people!
*A big thanks to you all for the support via your reads, comments, likes, upvotes and SPONSORSHIP. I love you guys a bunch ❤️*
Today's blog is all about a lady that was said that she's faking being married in school.
My co-workers(8females) were having a nice time this morning gisting about how male lecturers in higher institutions have been so clingy to the **"s^x for Mark"** practice. They said all manners, some of them admitted that they've fallen for this trap once and twice because they were left with no option. Should we blame them or we should give them with **"they saved their academic future"?** As for me, maybe because of my culture and believe, they did the wrong thing even if it's now seen as a common acts in school.
One of them said she was offered with two options; pay N80,000 (around $160) or sleep with the lecturer. She said she had no money and bitterly went for the odd option and her mark was given to her afterwards. I tried to talk her into believing that even if she didn't have that money to give to him and doesn't want to succumb to the lecturer's s%x request, that she would have escaped the said failure. She asked how and I gave her instances of witnesses and experiences I had.
Personally, I have had such encounter, During my schooling days we faced a lot of battles regarding to sorting of lecturers, some lecturers made it a mandatory act of "no sorting no passing"
One of my encounters was when a lecturer asked us to pay money to submit a practical manual (log book). He said if we fail to submit that's means it's a carryover(failure). He was mean to his words and so, my colleagues submitted with money. I wasn't the type that concurs to sorting of lecturers so I refused to pay. He told the few of us that refused to submit with money to submit ours on a different desk and assured us of our failure. With the look of things it's just God, Hardwork for the exam that were left as the only option. We prepared for the exam, did well and when the result came out we conquered it. It was 70% and above. Maybe God touched him to later give us our marks because it's very hard to score 70% without practical marks.
I know of a lady in the Eastern part of Nigeria currently facing this same issue, the amount she was asked to pay is small($100) or sleep with the lecturer but she's refused and had left everything to God.
After telling them all these, they furthered to bring tough scenes of tough lecturer and that was when they brought up the case of the the lady that's faking marriage in school.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
**The girl that's faking to be married**
According the them, they said this lady goes to school with a gold wedding ring in her finger and dresses decently like a working class lady. She's so fluent in English and talks responsible. She's hardly seen with some people so she won't be downgraded. She made sure that everyone believes she's married. She had cute pictures of her & her male elder brother, dressed in same attire possing like husband & wife and other of her siblings as children. With these, everyone know her as legally married and all the respect are being given to her, just few people that are close to her knows her real status.

She puts on the ring in finger immediately she want to enter school premisses and pulls it off when leaving.
With all these no lecturer have been able to intimidates her or ask her for "s*x for mark" because of that little respect of marriage. She enters any lecturers office anytime.
**But the other odd side**
"Somehow, don't you think she might be blocking her chances of getting close to her future husband?" This was the question I asked my co-workers. I know it's somehow not possible for schoolmates to marry each other but these people around her have chances of recommending her to others but because they've known her to be married. Other lecturers too that are single might not bother to reason her side because "she's married".
What do you think?
Do you think she's acting on the right side?

I lost everything on noise.cash today
**Hello good people!**
I know the Christmas groove is hitting you good there, enjoy because this season is once in a year.
Image source: unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/95YRwf6CNw8
Today was a thick day for because I lost my whole earning in noisecash, an account I haven't withdrawn anything.
I started my noisecash journey some months back, I wasn't that serious with the noisecash because they keep changing pattern and that made it a little bit difficult for me to grab. More also the earning as the time I joined wasn't encouraging at all, it was on the basis of $0.03 per day and that made me to concentrate more on readcash.
At a time I had the urge to earn there after reading some articles about what People are earning, so I met my upline to get more details on how to earn huge there and he told me to increase the number of my subscribers, he said if I want to start earning something reasonable I must have at least 200subscribers. "From where?" That was the question that came out from my mind. Well, I want to earn so I must be up to task, so I fully engaged for some weeks to get subscribers and that was how I earned the little I had.
I was enjoying the platform till they introduced the heart tip feature, I didn't just understand the process so i backed off for a while hoping for another phase of understandable pattern for my head. And in a short while they brought out the tipping from wallet or from free bonus. I tried to follow up but it didn't just worked for me cos I found it hard to tip from my very low earning 🤣.
**All these while I didn't saved my seed phrase**
Before today, I've been procrastinating on withdrawing the little BCH I've earned to my trustwallet, each time i remember to withdraw a force from nowhere would come and breeze it away from my mind.
Today I made up my mind to withdraw it immediately I login but when I logged in, I met a surprising mountain. I was told that my device does no longer have access to my wallet that I should import my seed phrase to restore. "That's a common task" I said to myself and headed to my Google drive to pick it from the file I normally save seed phrases. On getting there I found out that the particular seed PHRASE for my noisecash was not saved there. It was just as if they poured cold water to my body. Where could this be? I quickly remember that i did a screenshot while I was registering, so I moved down to my photo gallery to see if the photo is still there but I met the shocking one again, the picture was not there and I quickly remembered that I cleared my gallery yesterday, yeah just yesterday😢 I deleted most of irrelevant pictures which my seed phrase photo was deleted among the "irrelevant photos" without knowing.
At this point, I became so frustrated that i started to regret why I didn't withdraw it before now.
In the quest to get the photo, I searched on google on ways to retrieve a deleted photos and the informations I got was only for the Google saved photos. That was when I knew that all hope is lost.
I kept moving around to see possible ways to retrieve my hard earned money, and i ran to my Nigeria BCH People to see if they could help also but the ideas they gave were also on "I should written it down or backed it up".
________________________
Conclusion
It's not that I don't the importance of saving a seed phrase, infact I normally persuade People to be active on this aspect in order not to fall victims. But look at me now, the one that used to advice People is now the one beaten by carelessness.
Saving of seed phrase should be as fast as possible, if you allow procrastination to step in, then expect the unexpected. I allowed myself to be eaten by procrastination and look at where it landed me.
Funny enough, I just remembered today that I haven't saved the seedphrase of this account(readcash) so I had to quickly do it to avoid stories again.
My dear newbies, this is a reminder now, go and save it somewhere, don't procrastinate, anything can happen, your phone can stop functioning at any moment. I'm not praying for that but that's the truth.
Finally, I thank God what I lost was not much, had it been it's up to $50BCH I would have been crying by now🤣🤣 but it's just **$4** that I lost 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
**Thanks for reading and I hope you learn something from this piece**

BangerFull Season
Hey People!
How you all? I know season is speaking well for you already.
Today was an hectic one for me, I had my hands on work all through the day and that deprived me from engagement here today. I was at home today though because it was my off day from work, but that didn't give me free time at all. I worked on customer's clothes(washing and Ironing) without water in the compound/tank and no electricity to iron. I used my all time **PLAN B** to work today.
I attended church around 5:00pm and the pastor mentioned that on our Christmas carol night, we should come along with candles and bangers. Ye! Everybody shouted. That made me remember my fun-filled experiences with banger.
*Banger is also known as firecrackers or fireworks, it has a loud sound when made to display or explode.*
**Let's talk about banger!**
Bangers were what made Christmas to be fun those days, the competitive show, the bravery acts displays, the stubbornness and so many other features were the series of fun attached to it. I know it's being used now but it's not as fun as it's used to be during those days.
During those days my dad supported it, he used to give us money to get enough packs and in the case where we exhaust it, we rally round to get money to get some.
**Competitive banger💥** It's usually like a tournament during the crossover night service in church, everyone come out with bags loaded with packs of bangers, we'd be shooting and shouting **"Happy New year".** In my home villa, there's one particular Catholic church that serves as the stadium of the "tournament", once it's getting to 12:00am of the crossover night, you'll see people from different corners rushing to the church premisses, even People from other church leave their church to be on that ground before the 12:00am. Meanwhile, the parents that went to the church with children also leave the premises before 12:00am because the throws and sounds usually scare children away. Those richmen go along with the brand that's not common and when it's released, the voice covers the other.
**Bravery display**💥 This has to do with children especially, the ones without fear of loud noise would be displaying bravery acts by holding the banger in their hands untill it blew. I had phobia on this aspect so my friends use this method to intimidate me. If I want to shoot, I prefer to scratch it and throw it away for some good distance, I don't dare to hold it with my hands untill it blows, never! That can't be me.
Those days, if you have phobia for bangers(loud noise) you don't dare to move out at the night unless you're ready to be running helter-skelter because those brave ones will be using it to do "war film"(throwing at each other) without observing it's hazardous natures when it blows very close to someone.
**The stubbornness**💥 At some period, they banned shooting of bangers on festive periods because they said armed rubbers were taking advantage of the sound to operate, but People didn't adhered to this law. I was among the people that disobeyed🤦. There was one day the Police paraded our community for catch victims, it was fun that day because they were running around but couldn't catch anyone.
This law came to the church also, that no one should use bangers in the church premises during the crossover night. Is that possible? Not at all, it's not possible. That night, our pastor who's a disciplinary young man gave us(including me) instructions to catch anyone and everyone that would violate the rule of no shooting of bangers, which we 'okayed' him just to let him go inside. Few minutes that he entered inside his office, two guys blew 3rounds boom! Boom! Boom! We approached these guys to tell them not to do that again, and suddenly our pastor came out from his office and started pursuing them saying we should have caught them and tied them with ropes hahahah🤣🤣🤣.
**Locally made boom!**
In the absence of the banger there was a good alternative too, it has a good sound like that of the main banger. This one is locally made with small iron pipes which we get the parts easily from a motorcycle mechanic workshop. This one doesn't cost much, the only financial touchdown is the money for matches cos it works with matches. The people that are familiar with this are the people that were brought up in the rural areas, ajebos don't know this.🤣🤣

The good side of discontentment
***Season's greetings to you all!🎄🎄 How is it going over there? Hope they've not postponed the Christmas celebration there?🤣 I wish you all the best of the season.***
**They said whatsoever that has a bad side also has a good side. Discontentment is bad, right? But it has a good side too!**
We've heard so much sermons and teachings on contentment and we've been admonished to be contented with what we have otherwise it'd lead us engage in mischievous acts when it's being allowed to eat us up.
Well, no doubt, the best state of a man is when he has all, and he's not aiming to get more. But is there actually a human like that? Even the richest are still paving to be richer. This is because human needs are insatiable, it has no end, it keeps coming up as the day is passing.
Have you ever wondered why those rich people go into politics when they are loaded with Money already? Well, it could be that they need more money but in other hand also, it's power they are targeting at. They want to rule and be famous as well. In the quest for acquiring more, most time irregular acts are being done, such as those politicians who go to any extent to win elections. From stories I've heard, it's just few politicians that won't stain their ends with blood in terms of performing rituals or sacrifices in order to be outstanding.
We've heard and seen youths also engaging in dangerous acts because what they are seeking for is not forthcoming. They want to have it the other way, they want it quick-quick. The current situation of youths in my country is alarming. You'll see a boy of 17years driving the latest car and have a house already while a struggling young man of 27years will be having a meal once in a day in order to save money for something. When this 27years old young man hears the record of the 17years old boy, he will be disappointed at his efforts so far and he'd end up going for the source of the 17years old boy's income,,if his mind is not well cultured.
Enough of these instances as you already know them and have witnessed most of these in your environment.
My generous sponsors 💯
Do you know that contentment has the ability to keep some on a spot?
This is especially for us the youth, when we are to comfortable on our recent spot, it'd be very hard to jump into advancement.
If you are comfortable Earning $100 per month, I bet you, you'll hardly be interested in applying for another job. You would see other opportunities as waste of time, after all we know the process of getting jobs in the country, you have to go for interviews in a far place if your current location is kinda far.
***Contentment comes with limitations, it has capacity to block the chances of bigger success.***
Earlier this month, I had a chat with a friend of mine that went for job interview in a company. She took permission from her work place to attend the interview and luckily she got the job. She said she can't be too comfortable at one spot, once there's a bigger opportunity she will move even if it'll take her out of the country. I was so much inspired by her words.
Just like if you're currently earning $200BCH per month here on read.cash, you may take it as that's your limit but the truth is that people are earning higher than you, if you decide to remain on that spot of $200BCH per month, your body will "okay" it but if you're triggered to move higher to $300BCH per month, your body will comply too.
Some years ago, I was working in a place I was earning a very small salary but they were giving us food twice a day, truthfully I felt relaxed because when I calculated the amount of food we eat a day in a month plus the normal stationed salary it's big somehow, so I decided not to move. But when I heard of a friend of mine outside my state earning a sum that covers my salary(including the money for daily feeding) and they were giving them one slot of feeding a day, I was motivated to go for the higher one. Is that greediness? No! That's going higher.
**Weighing contentment and discontentment.**
Under normal condition we are being encouraged to adopt a life of contentment because it comes with loads of peace, satisfaction and shun greediness. When contentment is at play, you won't fancy theft or fraudulent acts, you'll value every content in your possession. You won't be intimidated, oppressed and depressed by other people's achievement, you are just okay with what you have. Infact this is the life that God recommended according to the Bible.
But in order way round, contentment has flaws too as I stated earlier, which suggest discontentment as a solution or quest to expand in life.
My thought
Be okay with what you have but don't let that pin you on a spot, quest for more, let others people's success pushes or triggers you to go higher, it's not hatred or evil. The only part we are not permitted to follow is when there's involvement of crime or evil doings in the process.
Don't defraud, don't go into rituals, don't kill, just commit your best, be diligent and the sky will be your starting point.

**11days to Christmas**
Awkward and hilarious
**Hello people!🖐️**
How was your Sunday? Mine went well, I had a wonderful time in the presence of God, we danced and danced to the Glory of God. Today was a busy day for me as well, I moved down to office from church which I closed around 9:30pm. I wasn't chanced at all to compose an article during the work time and when I got home, I met light so I left everything to iron customers clothes. I finished around 11:25pm(the time of writing this).

There are some common things in life we just have to master or rather adapt to, not that are going to add money to your account or going to add value to you, they are just there to keep you far from shame. I'll be taking my time to give scenarios;
**Talking in the midst of crowd**
This has to do with talking in a gathering of multitudes, either in a local or high standard form. It's a thing of must to get grounded in this aspect because in one way or the way, you'll be faced with this challenge one day and if you're not prepared, shame will definitely step in to cover for you.
Even in the local or low settings, like your home town gathering, or gathering of friends, it's very good to get along with socializing because that's the grassroot of where such trait could easily be picked. If you find it difficult to talk in the midst of your close friends, you'd find it challenging to talk when faced with large crowd. Getting along with talks in school class helps to boost this trait. It's not a matter of being introvert, adapt to a little socialism!
Back then at home My father used to put a test on his children so much that whenever his elderly extended family members are around, he always call us to step into their midst to offer the custom greetings and if we fail, they laugh at us and as well get us corrected. *What am I saying? In my home Villa, there's a way we greet crowded erldey people, you can't go and be saying hello hello with a handshake, no, there's an approach to that.* I remember also when it was a festive period like this, one of my cousins wanted to come over to our compound but immediately he learnt that the elders are gathered in the compound, he had to postponed his visit because he was scared of being intimated, but that awkward moment caught him one day and he proudly disgraced himself 🤦.
**Praying in public**
First of all, know how to pray in your dialect and official language too in the midst of crowd. I know prayer is a person talk between you and your God but have you considered if peradventure someone gives you a microphone to lead prayer in public?
I read a story about a young man that was intimidated yesterday by his pastor, he went to church with his babe, everything was going on well untill towards the last phase of the service, the pastor was led to hand over the microphone to him for Benediction, he had not prayed in public before, he wanted to reject the microphone but no, he mustn't fall his hand too before his babe, he did it anyhow with too many off languages and everyone could not hold their laughter... According to what he narrated, he said he became so ashamed of himself, even his babe made that the topic of the day when they got home. He said he doesn't know what he did to the pastor that made him do such to him that he'd be going to meet the pastor for a chat to ask for the reason why he did so. That was an awkward moment for that young man.
How about you? Have you lead a prayer onc in an open scene? If you haven't, please avail yourself because one day you'd be called out.
I had personally experienced this awkward moment too, i did a lot of rubbish on my first day I was called out to lead a prayer, I tried to dodge it but the pastor said No I must be the one. Only God helped me that day.
There's one thing we must know when it comes to prayer, prayer is not speaking Grammer as people have succeeded to paint it, it's just a normal communication between you and God and if you are asked to say it openly, you shouldn't be running heater sketia looking for big Grammer No! Say it the way you feel from your heart, with this you'll feel ease.
**Should I talk about dancing? Lol**
How good are you in dancing? Do you know that if you don't know how to dance at all or shy when it comes to dancing, there's every probability that you'd be embarrassed one day with your Inability to dance?
I remember a certain man that doesn't know how to dance, when it got to his wedding day he had to hire a dance instructor to coach him before that day. Even a night before his wedding day, he locked himself in a room to rehearse on his steps hahah🤣.
Some people may say, it's not a must to dance on a good step on their wedding day so no need to learn, that's very okay but have you thought of going to a friend's birthday party and you are called out by the MC to the dance floor? I've experienced this often times, I've been called out several times on birthday parties and I made sure I embarrassed myself with some odd dance steps,.......I was giving them a church dance step while a hot hip hop song was played 🤣🤣🤣. It's just good to open up oneself to flexibility of our current system, flow with it and enjoy your life.
**My thoughts**
Just like I stated at the beginning of this article, these attribute won't add money to your account but they're there to spark up your living and also avoid shame. If you haven't talked in a public before, please avail yourself, get along with friends and try to lead arguments 👍🤣. If you haven't prayed in public before, should I say you can rehearse? Lol. I'd choose "practicing", yeah started practising it.
If you can't dance or shy to dance, please start with church gathering...with that you'd be dancing for God and not looking at who's watching you. Also, you could play videos on YouTube in your closet to practice some steps.
Happy birthday to @GarrethGrey07 , I wish you many more years! Dance! dance! dance!
This is my hilarious blog for the day.

**12days to Christmas🎄🎅🎉❇️🎄**
Not all of us are ready for the Christmas
**Hello good people!🖐️**
*I bring lovely greetings from my groovy environment to you guys. Hope you are having a nice time there?*
*Today has been a wonderful day on my reasoning capacity. Writer's block followed me all the way from dream to reality today and ever since I woke up, I've been pondering on what to write. Many ideas came but to put them into long form held me hostage, I tried to scratch out more informations on the topics that came to my mind but the brain was just running away from me, so I ended up drafting three topics halfway🤣. I know I'm not the only victim of this hahah🤣.*
*It got to this evening (the time of writing this article) and I said No! The day can't just go like that, I must write today and that was when I decided to used key in to a challenge I saw some days ago about Christmas. It's supposed to be in a white an eventful pattern concerning the coming Christmas or they past celebration but I chose to be different on this 🤦*
My sponsors 💯
**Christmas is here but not everyone is ready**
Unfortunately, this is no longer the case. Many families are now complaining about how the economic hardship in the country in the last few years has badly affected them. Some are not even looking forward to Christmas because they lost their jobs during the course of the pandemic. Truthfully, the pandemic caused a lot of harm to this regards, a lot of companies relieved their staffs because the cost of management became tough hence not being able to foot all the salaries.
Meanwhile, some families have good reasons such as January house rent, children’s school fees, and financial prudence for maintaining a low-key Christmas celebration. They do not want a situation whereby they will not be able to pay their landlords when they come to ask for house rent in January or the embarrassing situation whereby they will not be able to pay schools fees when their children resume.
However, some people cannot cope with the presently harsh reality of prices of commodities in the market. For instance, rice, a carton of chicken thighs, pepper, and other ingredients that before now were sold for cheap prices, are no longer affordable. The recent increment of the poverty level in the country has directly contributed to this. Some few years ago, $200 used to be a big money when taken to market for shopping but now the reverse is the case, $200 is now seen as $10 because of high price of commodities in market. Is it only in Nigeria or Everywhere? Here we get amazed everyday by the daily increment of stocks. A common example is a sardine cup we used to buy for N200 which is now sold N700, a big difference of N500. What about the cooking gas? We used to fill a kg with N300, but now it's N900. I haven't been to market to check the price of Christmas stuffs like lights, trees etc but I know the price is not same as before.
Things have become so difficult that some people may not be able to cook like before, while those who usually buy new clothes to mark the celebration, may have to do with the old ones in their wardrobes. I called my mum earlier this month to find out about the preparation on buying new shoes for my junior siblings at home and she told me they might not give them new ones this season because money is Scarce and the prices are not friendly anymore. I had to forward a little amount to them for that purpose.
**And some people are readily ready**
Irrespective of the harsh economic reality in the country, some of us will still celebrate Christmas in a grand style. And this will not replace the general feelings of murmuring and complaints that have currently permeated the land. A reflection of the government’s performance thus far.
There's one common scenario we used to describe this form in the village those days, during Christmas while people are lamenting of no money, some people are there sponsoring gigantic building projects, where are they seeing the money?🤣. The world has been known like this, even in the midst of hunger there'll be people enjoying abundance. While some are having just 0.1BCH other people are having 10BCH...yeah we know it's hardwork and efforts but... THAT'S JUST LIFE!
**Let's remember others, let's share love this Christmas.**
For this Christmas not to be a harrowing experience for some, let those who have share with those who do not have. Let us remember to be our brothers’ keeper and show kindness to everyone around us. Virtual gift is good but real gift is better. No amount is too small, anything is acceptable to whom you're giving. Even though that the price of things are high, $1 can purchase a small module of rice.
