yinkard4me: Africa? How can africa win d WC wen oyinbo have
packed all our players leaving mikel and yakubu for
us. They took zidane(algeria) ,viera(senegal). Dat
wasnt enof?They took alaba(Nigeria), govou(benin),
nani and larsson(capeverde), benzema and nasri
(algeria), khedira and ben arfa(tunisia), pogba
(guinea). D one dat pains me most is in belgium
where half of their starting eleven are africans.
Dembele(mali),lukaku, kompany and benteke

#bringbackourboys, we can't win if they're all playing for their former colonial masters. What a shame, if it were not for Africans Naija would have won the game

Neldrizzy: i started doing ma thing at the age of 13.. i was tagged "the sturborn and the black sheep of the family" because ma parent never approved any of ma decisions all in the name of YOU ARE TOO YOUNG. But i will disobeyed them and go my way to do ma thing.. Now am above 18 very successful in my field.. Parent atimes can derailed someone's ambition/career. Jus go out there be positive, pray and believe in God and you will excel..

My man you re correct in career wise decision, but the op i think is talking about everything in general including sex and friends.

As for me, i'll make the decision until the child proves to be mature enough.

It all depends on the situation at hand anyway. I really don't think age should be a prerequisite for teens in decision making. Some teens mature faster than their peers. How stable and sensible any is could determine when is okay. Even before a teen clocks 18yrs of age he or she could make certain choices.

if kid is acting super adult - can move out at 16th birthday. perfectly legal to start working. Can make stupid choices but not under my roof. i would prefer to keep my baby at least till 18.
