HOW MUCH CAN YOU FORGIVE

I will like to talk about forgiveness here today; on a day when different men and women round the country tie the knot. Personally, I belief the key to a successful marriage is trust and forgiveness among the couples. Thus, I will like to wish my good friend a happy marriage ceremony happening now in the city of Ibadan, wish I were there though. What are you doing this weekend; visiting the park, gym or attend one of those parties?

Back to my subject matter, forgiveness is a big thing/a difficult virtue to possess and a very expensive gift to receive. How much can you forgive someone who hurts you so bad? I think to answer that

MY OPINION ON THE FG $9.3M SCANDAL

I have not decided on a stance as regards the deep mess our dear country is in as regards a criminal investigation carried out by the South African government against Nigeria, but I smell foul play in the scenario. As a concerned citizen, I am curious to know if this large amount of foreign currency ($9.3 million) was bought from a bank using naira OR withdrawn from CBN OR simply was money stored under Uncle Jonathan's mattress. It is just pitiable to see that our so called politicians cannot just stop portraying all Nigerians as corrupt and greedy to the whole wide world.

Dollars isn't our currency. So how did the federal government supposedly obtain this large amount? If it was truly for the procurement of arms, then there should be paper trail of how the money was obtained here in Nigeria. And this should go on to serve as proof to the SA government.

I trust Nigeria government. They would claim they simply bought it from one mallam under the tree at the Muritala Mohammed Airport.

Meanwhile the poor masses are being disturbed and made to pay charges for a cashless policy they themselves do not respect/follow. What is the Central Bank of Nigeria doing about this since the money could only be sourced from a bank or CBN itself? Or is this part of the cashless policy?

Crime is apparently ridding on the back of our country Nigeria where blue is black and yellow is purple… what I really hate about these whole hullabaloo is the involvement of religious bodies such as Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in politics. I am still trying to fathom if they wanted to use Pastor Ayo’s jet to carry the arms into the country or something? On the other side of the hall, we have the self-righteous and greedy oppositions who are not even better of judging and power-hungry. Why most countries are planning a trip outside this planet and explore other planets, our greedy rulers are busy embezzling public funds.

Mimicking the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; “. Pilot na only you waka fly? What of the owner of the plane and the cash? Those ones no come too? Chai! The blood of innocent Nigerians are crying!! Cryyyying!!! Chai there is God o!!!!!!!!!!!

Ebola, A Deadly Virus

Ebola is a virus of the family Filoviridae that is responsible for a severe and often fatal viral hemorrhagic fever; outbreaks in primates, including gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans, and domestic pigs have been recorded. The disease is characterized by extreme fever, rash, and profuse hemorrhaging. In humans, certain strains of the virus can cause fatality in 50 to 90 percent of cases.

Kinds of Ebola

The virus takes its name from the Ebola River in the northern Congo basin of central Africa, where it first emerged in 1976. Ebola is closely related to the Marburg virus, which was discovered in 1967, and the two are the only members of the Filoviridae that cause epidemic human disease. Five strains of Ebola virus, known as Ebola-Zaire, Ebola-Sudan, Ebola-Côte d'Ivoire, Ebola-Reston, and Ebola-Bundibugyo, named for their outbreak locations, have been described.

Ebola-Zaire causes death in 80 to 90 percent of cases, and Ebola-Sudan causes death in 50 percent of cases. Ebola-Côte d'Ivoire, found in dead chimpanzees in the Taï National Park in southwestern Côte d'Ivoire, can infect humans, although only two human cases have been documented, and both individuals survived. Ebola-Reston, which was originally discovered in laboratory monkeys in Reston, Va., in 1989, was also detected in laboratory monkeys in other locations in the United States in 1990 and 1996, as well as in Siena, Italy, in 1992. All the monkeys infected with Ebola-Reston have been traced to one export facility located in the Philippines, although the origin of the strain has not been identified. Similar to Ebola-Côte d'Ivoire, Ebola-Reston does not appear to cause death in humans. The fifth strain, Ebola-Bundibugyo, was discovered in November 2007 in an outbreak in Bundibugyo district, near the border of Uganda and Congo (Kinshasa); it causes death in about 25 percent of cases.

Is God a Liar? - The synagogue Saga

I am here again; welcome people to my personal blog. I have some salient issues in my head to write about, I will streamline it to one though. And that is the issue relating to the recent collapse of the building of a popular church headed by a prominent pastor by name T.B Joshua, synagogue church. T.B Joshua is prominent for predicting the future, he is much of a seer than a preacher and most times, he claims he has or gets his directions directly from God. However, the pastor in question has been in-consistence with his preaching and has made people believe God is a liar, but the truth is man is the liar not God. Some of his predictions however really come true, but I merely believe they are coincidence. The logic is, if T.B Joshua gets his direction from God and T.B Joshua fails in one of his prediction, therefor, God is a liar/failure. The God that is

@Roluseye's Saturday Tonic/Thought

Recently, I have come to realize that love takes time to grow. The point is love should be allowed to grow. Like a butterfly that doesn’t possess its beauty from the origin of its lifespan, larva state, but gets its beauty when it becomes an adult. So also is love, you don’t just see a person and say you love him/her, which to me is lust.

I have come to understand also that sufferings do not last forever, just like the rain doesn’t keep on dropping forever or the sun doesn’t keep on shining forever. Sadly, the same saying or principle applies to wealth and happy days. It is very essential for one to understand this and practice these sayings, hard as it may sound; nothing/times do not last forever.

Let me know if you have a contrary opinion….

@Roluseye - HOW MUCH SEX SHOULD YOU BE HAVING?

 

I was thinking of a fascinating story to publish on this blog and at the same time I do not have the strength to write and I do not want to commit the sin of plagiarism. Well, I looked up the internet for an interesting story that is somewhat a general issue that affects our existence as a man/woman and married/single. This article was published on a local newspaper in Nigeria called Vanguard, with no author’s name.

This is about sex; which many people take as a big deal as such they get addicted to it. I was guilty of taking it as a do without activity some time in my life, not until I gave a deep thought to it and I also did a personal re-evaluation.

Do you take a roll in the hay every night, once or twice a week, monthly or at no particular time? For the good of your own relationship, how much sex should you be having? Many couples do find infrequent sex to be an issue. While some are fine with the occasional 5-minutes romp under the sheets, others wish they were getting a whole lot more.

There are women who worry that their men demand too much sex and secretly wish they’d slow down. But a lot more men complain that it is their women that are not giving it up as often as they (men) desire.

More than next door

On the whole, the average couple is happy if it thinks it’s getting more sex than the couple next door regardless of how much it’s actually getting.

Having more sex than your neighbors can actually make you happy, and research shows that couples who have sex at least two to three times a month are more likely to report a higher level of happiness than those who who’ve had no sex during the previous 12 months.

The more sex people have, the happier they tend to be, even when factors like income, marital status, health and age are taken into account.

What is more surprising is that even people who have reasonable amounts of sex report lower levels of happiness if they think there is a chance they could be having less sex than their peers.
Conversely, people who think they are getting more sex than their peers report higher levels of happiness, even if — in the great scheme of things— they aren’t having that much sex.

How much is normal?

This sounds like a simple question, but there are no right answers. What happens when a couple has what is called mismatched libidos? If she likes to have sex four times a week and he only once or twice, of course they want to find out who is the abnormal one.

Essentially the amount of sex you have will depend on you and your relationship, and that the ideal frequency is tricky to pin down. People tend to have more sex in the early stages of a relationship and less lately on.But the average does suggest that a natural sexual frequency is something like once or twice a week in a committed, long term relationship.

Many couples will be happy with less, and others will be at it every night, but if you’re up with the average at least you can stop stressing about what’s happening next door and start enjoying what’s happening in your own bedroom.

At least once a week

Every relationship is different, and the amount of sex you need is the amount that makes both partners happy. While there may be no one right answer to the question of how often couples should have sex, they should to try to do it at least once a week.

Penciling in sex at least once a week means sex becomes a habit, something you fit in however busy or stressed you are. Once a week means you’ll get all the health and wellbeing benefits, too. So the more you have the better.

Sexless marriages

Generally speaking, a sexless marriage is one in which a committed couple has sex less than 10 times per year. About 1 in five couples fall into this category.

This may or may not be an issue, depending on the couple. Some couples, especially older pairs who’ve been together a long time, are perfectly fine with once or twice a year or even not at all, thank you very much.

Not having sex doesn’t mean these couples aren’t deeply in love, monogamously committed and happy together. It just means that sex isn’t as high a priority for them as it is for some of their friends, neighbours or people they see on TV and in the movies.

Spice up your flagging sex life If you and your partner have gone several weeks or even months without sex and the lack of activity is troubling you, usually a little bit of effort is enough to revive your flagging sex life, especially if the emotional connection between you and your partner remains strong.

Try one or more of the following tips

Schedule it:  Sounds horribly unromantic, but really it’s quite the opposite. Plan a relaxing shower and mutual massage as part of foreplay. After all, who doesn’t look forward to a massage? Couples who search together for the right scent of massage oil are off to a great start.

Mix it up: Perhaps you’ve always had that special secret fantasy, but you’ve never mentioned it or acted on it. Now is the time to talk about it with your partner. Who knows, maybe he or she is willing to try it. And be sure to ask about his or her secret fantasy. It might be a turn-on for you, too. Just make sure that if you both say yes, you really mean to say yes. No regrets, please.

Go away. If you’ve always done it in the bedroom, try another room, the kitchen, or a hotel, or a cabin in the woods. It’s amazing what a little change of venue can do for a stale sex life.
Be romantic

Give your partner a gift “just because.” Write a list of things you love about your partner and give it to him or her. Plan a surprise date that involves an activity you know your partner enjoys (even if it’s not your favorite thing to do).

What do you think about sex?
