Is your home properly insured?

We live in uncertain times. Violent floods and storms, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and so on; such disasters have one thing in common; they are catastrophic risks that rarely affect you in your lifetime, but if they do happen, the consequences can be devastating. The problem with catastrophic risk is that because it is so rare, it can be badly underestimated. Yet, being prepared for a catastrophe can save you from untold distress.

How fortunate we have been in Nigeria, yet global climate change seems to have affected even our local weather; heavy rains fall during the harmattan season and we have long dry spells in the thick of the rainy season with exceptionally hot weather climbing to scorching temperatures.

When the rains come; the downpours are often unusual in their intensity and have caused flooding in many areas. The weather has never been more unpredictable.

Tips for starting a new business

Establishing a business can be a daunting task, but experts say it can be achieved with careful planning.

The thought of owning a business is amusing to many people. However, as much as people will ‘love’ to own their own businesses, many admit that they have little or no idea about what it takes to establish them; they don’t know where to start from.

But because the thought of starting out on their own has been so hard to ignore, many people braved the odds and set up businesses only for them to collapse because they failed to consider many vital aspects.

According to experts, starting a business is quite tasking because it requires serious planning. They, however, say the process can be fun and easy for people who take the time out to either consult professionals or carry out some form of research.

Before saying goodbye to life as an employee, you have to be prepared to take certain steps; failure to do so, they explain, may only reduce your chances of achieving your goal. Some of these steps are explained below.

[Plz Read]...Do children also have cancer?

It is always an emotional moment to announce to concerned parents that their child is suffering from cancer. To briefly answer the question above, the answer is yes. Children also do have cancer. Children are unique and most of the cancers they suffer from are eminently curable. As with many other medical conditions. However, late presentation is often a challange. These children are brought to the hospital when all hope is nearly lost. They would have started off by visiting some nurse living in the neighbourhood or the local chemist where many treatments would have been administered prior to visiting the herbal drug dispenser before finally visiting the hospital. Sadly, it is when they arrive at the hospital that they become impatient, not wanting to carry out all the investigations requested and even worse, wanting something done immediately to remove the disease. These cancers have to be confirmed in a variety of ways: X-rays, scans, blood tests, urine tests and biopsies before a treatment plan is formulated for that individual. It is not a situation in which one diagnosis fits every patient.

The common cancers seen in children usually involve the kidneys,  liver,  urinary bladder, muscles the suprarenal gland which is a small organ that sits on top of the kidneys and very rarely, the long bones. Other cancers seen in children involve the white blood cell component of the blood and the lymphoid organs of the lymph nodes, spleen and liver. It is important to stress that parents need to be observant of their children as they grow up. There ought to be  no room for a situation in which parents are so so busy chasing their careers that they are unable to give reliable accounts of their children’s health status. These are diseases that do not simply arrive from nowhere but often take several months to develop. I have seen situations where it was a neighbour of a certain family that first observed that a child was unwell. This is scandalous to say the least.

Having been in government twice as minster, what do you think about the state of the nation today?

If these bombs going off everyday kills any of these corrupt leaders, I will not shed any tears; I’ll clap, because they are destroying the system. It has become so bad that graduates are looking for driver jobs because there are no jobs. Graduates are serving as waiters in hotels and we say that we are a great country. During my time as minister, $1.5 was one naira. Two naira was £1. Now it is N240 to £1 and N160 to $1. That was how powerful we were. And they say we are not a failed state. If we are not a failed state, then we are a fast failing state. The earlier we realise it, the better. Nigeria needs emergency. President Goodluck Jonathan should use his power as the President to declare the whole of Nigeria an emergency state.

[Hey Ladies]...12 Steps To Find Out If You Are Fertile

To the Ladies:
Finding out if you are fertile is important. Here are 12-Steps to know if you are Fertile:-

1.Check HIS sperm count first. Testing his sperm count should be the very first test done for fertility. Up to 50% of infertile couples have a male problem and the sperm count is easy and ensures him an orgasm too. When in doubt, the female may not be the one responsible for the fertility problems. The male sperm count should be tested before she gets tested to determine whether the problem lies with a lower sperm count.

2.Track menstrual cycles . The cycle of your period is the best way to establish fertile times. If the cycle is regular, the ovulation time frame should generally be the same each month.

A-B-O-M-I-N-A-T-IO-N! How son killed mother, dried her remains and hid body for 10 years

The suspect, Dr Chimezie Osigwe

Dr. Chimezie Osigwe, 64, is a retired school principal of Awa Community Secondary School, Ejemekwuru in Oguta local government area of Imo State. He not only allegedly killed his mother, he was said to have also dried her remains and stored them in a cupboard in a room that allegedly served as his shrine!
The 78-year old mother, Mrs. Lucy Osigwe, reportedly went missing sometime in 2003, some 10 years ago! There was no clue whatsoever about her where-abouts.
Dr. Osigwe lived in a dilapidated house. He had no fleet of cars and estates. Some members of his Ejemekwuru community said he was a recluse. Nobody understood his ways. Everything surrounding him suggested abject poverty!
Two stories were told about how the remains of his allegedly missing mother were found. One of the stories had it that a relation of the man was not particularly happy that Osigwe was reluctant to settle his indebtedness to him and decided to search his house to help himself with whatever he could lay his hands on.
But instead of finding cash, the young boy allegedly stumbled on the old woman’s remains and narrated the story to other relations who then mobilized and stormed Osigwe’s shrine where the boy’s story was allegedly confirmed.

[Read]...How Miniskirts Torment Pastors In Church During Service

Do you want to see a thigh-revealing mini or a figure-hugging tube in its rightful size and colors?
A visit to your nearby parish will not disappoint. Not in this era where uniforms, conservative formal dresses and waist-cloths, popularly known as Zambia, have been elbowed out by mini-skirts, skinny jeans and figure-hugging apparel.
Such is the fashion craze in churches today.
Men are also not to be outdone.
They are donning eye-popping short trousers, vests and jackets with short sleeves and spotting Mohawks. Churches now resemble fashion shows where congregants have replaced Bibles with iPads, iPhones, iPods and tablets.
Tithing is now being done via EcoCash, WhatsApp and Facebook. The congregates are now in the habit of reading scriptures loaded on their phones, iPads and what have you.
These electronic gadgets have become handy since pastors can now send the scriptures way before the service unlike previously when defacing Bibles with handwritten notes was the order of the day. Nowadays church-goers simply log on their tablets and click on the Bible verses with much ease.
Indeed, so much has changed that in other churches they have themed dress codes to suit a particular event. Ever heard of the African wear, Sunday Best, all-white Sunday and formal Sunday, to mention but a few of these themed days?
Somehow things have gone haywire with women now dressing in mini-skirts, net laces and pantyhose with legs criss-crossed while seated in the front rows. Others have a penchant to flash their body piercing and tattoos.
Oddly enough, in the midst of all this are women and men of God are not tempted when they see these beautiful women with long eye-lashes saying Amen to every word they preach.

[Latest]...Tithes and Offerings and the Pauperization of Village Pastors

The practice of city pastors commandeering all the tithes and offerings  to themselves while pauperizing their village counterparts is one of the reasons every pastor is running to the city to establish a church. Tithes and offerings are biblical injunctions which a religious faithful or lover of God uses to show appreciation to the creator for gifts of life, health, abundance, protection etc. It is also God's way of taking care of the levites, pastors, priests  He called into the ministry so that they can concentrate on the work assigned them. God commanded the Israelites to pay tithes and offerings in leviticus 27 vs 30 - 32 stating that "'A tithe of everything from the land, whether grain from the soil or fruit from the trees, belongs to the LORD; it is holy to the LORD.."   While tithes has a stated minimum of ten percent, offerings is of freewill nature, but Christians are enjoined to give according as God blesses and at times sacrificially.

Abraham was the first recorded person in the Bible to pay tithe. He paid tithe to Melchizedek, Priest of the Most High God and King of Salem some  hundreds of years before God officially gave the injunction on tithing to  Moses (Gen 14 vs 17-20). Therefore, tithes preceded the Law of Moses. Jesus Christ, while supporting tithing, chided the Pharisees for concentrating more on tithes while neglecting other religious injunctions. According to Jesus Christ in Matthew 23 vs 23 "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone”

Therefore, Jesus supported both tithes and keeping all other laws of God and the priesthood of Jesus was in the order of Melchizedek while his Kingship was in the order of Judah, the root of David.

Pollution of the church with all sorts of unscriptural practices and doctrines, even in the Pentecostal fold have caused a lot of pastors whose primary assignment was in the villages and remote parts of the regions to abandon it for the city. Part of what is chasing pastors out of the villages in search of pastoral pastures in the cities is the polluted theory of tithes and offerings. In this era of mega churches, flashy churches, digital churches and rich churches, a lot of born again Christians have been brainwashed to look down on pastors whom God called and stationed in the villages to occupy and control the territorial sanctity of these remote places from rampaging negative forces. According to the manipulated city born again member, these village pastors are not looking trendy, sharp, rich, gracious and elegant in dressings, mobility, feeding and opulence and therefore, they cannot be representing the God of prosperity. They are therefore seen as people who have lost out in their callings and their poverty stricken personality are signs of God’s abandonment.

5 Sure Ways To Know If Your Girlfriend Is About To Dump You

Hey Guys...Do Y'all Want  To Know If Your Girlfriend Is About To Dump You?

Ok read below....5 bullets.

1. First, observe if your girlfriend is going out on weekends more than usual, and only invites you at the last minute. This is a common way that women try to distance themselves from boyfriends who are going to be kicked to the curb. Even if you feel slighted by being left out, make a point of going out with her and having fun.
2. Notice if your girlfriend suddenly nags you less than usual. Nagging is a form of caring, albeit, an annoying one. A partner who has stopped nagging has stopped caring. What can you do if your girlfriend no longer fusses over your habits and hygiene? Start improving the things she usually complains about; clean up more often, and surprise her with a nice gift. If you show her that you still care, she will warm up again.
