Politicians, others evade BVN

 

• Banks’ enforcement raises new issues
• CBN extends enrolment for Diaspora customers

IF, as the saying goes, money talks, it is speaking in unmistakable terms to some people: You may own me but do not touch me. At least for now.

For fear of being identified as owners of huge deposits in banks, amid acclaimed success in the Bank Verification Number (BVN), some politically exposed persons and top officers in the public service seem to have evaded the scheme, The Guardian has learnt.

Finding Family

And the rib, which the lord had taken from the man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said : this is now the bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.

 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. (Genesis 1vs 22-24) 

You Can Survive A Major Mistake

 

WE make mistakes all the time and the misdeed may be of such importance that we feel that life should not be the same again. However, we only feel crushed because we were caught doing a wrong thing. 

We have done that thing because we thought that we were in control, without warning, however, our behavior confronts us asking for explanation or atonement and with it comes the realization that we are not in control at all. 

Getting Along In Your Relationship

 

WHERE have you ever heard that love is easy? It is not. I assure you especially when it comes to getting along with your partner. No matter how much you may love your boyfriend, there are those days, as in any relationship, when he can really press your buttons. But if you are not careful, those little things that irritate you can grow into bigger issues over time, and before you know it, all you do is fight and argue. 

You then find yourself questioning whether love is going to be enough to keep you together. Well, the answer is, it is not and it will not.

(Genesis 1:28 KJV)

Should You Take Over A Troubled Relationship?

 

“I WOULDN’T. Definitely not”, declares my long time friend, Helen. “The lesson we learn early in life”, she continues.

“I still remember these neighbours when I was fourteen-years-old. They were a young Army officer and his pretty wife. He was a Captain, so we called by his official rank and called his wife Mama Edith because of their baby daughter who was named Edith.

Finding The Right Man

 

HMMM. Now, this is not an easy task and I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have been asked the question, “Why is it so hard to find a good man?”

I think I may have even asked it myself a couple of times. But lately, in simply observing how people meet and “couple up,” I have noticed that dating is mostly a combination of three very simple things- access, opportunity and familiarity.

The Story Of Wife Whose Husband Cheated On

        WHILE I have been incredibly hurt by Doug’s repeated infidelities, the real twist of the knife has to be how naive I’d been for so many years. The bitter irony, of course, is that I am a relationship counselor, giving couples advice on how to avoid affairs.




Yet all the time, infidelity was going on right under my nose – and I never spotted it. When I met Doug in 1980 at a dinner with friends in Battersea, London, it wasn’t lust at first sight.

RE- ‘I Placed A Curse On My Ex- Boyfriend ’

 

Hi, I am Simon Ajayi by name. I read your story online and decided to contribute since you requested for that. The truth is that forgiveness is not just a mere pronunciation of the word ‘I forgive you’ but rather an act of meditation and solicitation for God to also forgive that person you have forgiven.

Yes, Mike made a big mistake from the onset which he has realised now, but you yourself made a bigger mistake for placing a serious course on him.
