Cuddlemii: I agree with u but to some extent, thank God u said some children, truth is, some, but not most. Most single parent children turn out wayward, cases where they turn out good is when the single parent had to go the extra mile to make sure the child is properly brought up, i'm not saying that some of the kids brought up by both parents might not turn out wayward, but on a large scale, wayward children are mostly product of broken homes/marraiges. 2 Likes |

Quote - ebamma: seminars,and e-books,are sometimes a waste of time and money,the greatest inspiration a man can have is his will to achieve something. "Experienece is the best teacher". What they don't tell you is that it is often very expensive (and sometimes disastrously late) to learn from your own experience. I assure you that it is more fun to learn from other people's experience. Reading and attending seminars help you to achieve just that. 1 Like |

Cuddlemii: These few set did all these things not because they were raised by a single parent but because they decided to take their destiny into their hands, they are few in number. Now what happens to the rest? |

[quote author=Cuddlemii] I totally agree with you on that. Some children raised by single parents are far more lucrative, industrious, successful, ambitious, determined & career driven more than the ones raised by both parents. Cos they were limited to certain things,it propels them to strive hard to make a statement & give their single parent a credible name. [/quote I think you have a point,I know a friend who was raised by a single parent,with God's help she has done so well for herself,she studied abroad,and now she is a doctor doing too too well. |

masterpiecer: First of all, a child belongs to the world and not its parents. Even if parents give proper home training and does everything with no errors detected, its up to the child to live by those principles or get influenced by the bad things of the world. That is why you see pastors, presidents and all having problems with their kids. Its your sole responsibility to decide which path you want to thread. Parents can only teach & guide you. As for a child with a single parent. Different things come to play 1) Appreciation: It would always be registered on the child's mind or psyche that he is raised by a parent performing the function of two parents. That, the single parent could have opt and left too but stayed back to nurture him/her and show how special he/she is. That child would always have that compassion and consideration in its doings. The child would always want his single parent to be proud. 2) Consciousness: The child would know that its a reflection of the single parent as such if he/she screws up, fingers would be pointed at the single parent and there would be additional humiliation. So the child would always have that fear & conscience not to screw up and shame the single parent further. 3) Determination: The child would want to strive hard to make it. Would want to be a success to reckon with so that he/she can brag of its achievement to the other parent who left or to the world that castigated the child & the single parent. 4) Hardwork & independence: They are driven to live a life they never had. They work hard to make it and give their single parent little pampering before they leave the earth. They are supportive & won't mind roasting corn to survive with their parent because their parent is re-writing their own wrong doings with raising a child on its own. 5) Moderation: Obviously everyone gets naughty in life, its part of the learning experience even pastors confess that they were once bad but too much of everything is not good. Most children from a single parent know when to draw the line, remember they know what is at stake and would always feel obligated. 6) Family: They turn out to be good parents & spouse because they don't want what happened to them to occur to their family. They become more understanding,respectful and their single parent would also be very careful so as not to break its child's home or render him/her to what he/she was or went through. 7) Humility: Most children with two parents are arrogant and flaunt their luxury at will. They are sometimes mannerless and rude because they don't know the worth of having a complete family. They are not exposed to hardship & they are not thankful. You would always hear things like this from them "If mummy doesn't buy me the pearls that cost a fortune, daddy will". In conclusion, a child has its destiny on earth to fulfill whether or not its parents screwed up theirs. The child should not use that as an excuse but identify right from wrong and the path that suits him/her. 2 Likes |

I think its very irresponsible to diss the whole of society just cos ur chasing a sell out crowd at ur seminar. I think what you just did, on its own, is one of the major flaws of society; where people will say anything or do anything just to make a buck. Try to point out the flaws of society without seeking to benefit from them, then I'll treat u with some respect. 1 Like |

First, awareness has to be created before problem can be solved. Trying to solve a problem without a full grasp of the problem is a recipe for disaster. And i think that was, and still the sole objective of the author. If you find value in what the author is saying, then you can pay for it. The author is not forcing anybody to partake in the seminar. Plus, people value more what they pay or are paying for in the name of getting their money's worth. I think it is a matter of "interpretation". 1 Like |

ireke:pretty good man.. Check out yourself and your friend now.. Did reading of those 'motivational' books put you far ahead of your friend nw? One thing i learnt from all this books is that it makes people want to pattern their life alongside that of the author.. Dont get me wrong people, I am not against people reading inspirational or motivational books, but it is not a pre-requisite to acheiving something great.. Instead, your utmost desire to achieve should come first, and making sure you maximize your God's given skills,ability,talent and potential... Once you put this in place, I bet the sky will be your startin point...ponder! |

One of the best posts I have seen on NL, On point about our society going to the dogs!! Nowadays, graduates cannot spell, write grammatically correct sentences or express themselves in an understandable manner. Why is this so? Because they don't read! I heard an old saying, if you want to hide something from a nigerian, put it in black and white! Nowadays, I find it harder and harder to disprove that statement. 1 Like |

mute4real: What I want to share with us today is about the pain of pleasure. We live in a world today where we are literally killing ourselves with pleasure. We are dying everyday, not out of pain as we define it, but out of pleasure. And nobody seems to be saying anything about it. We are amusing ourselves to death and nobody really cares. Stella Damascus, the Nollywood actress, shared in her column in about how a friend of hers was mad at her because when her(the friend’s) kids wanted to watch TV the only channel that the decoder was locked on Nickelodeon and the kids wanted one of the “more interesting” channels like Ben Ten where some real violence take place. |

Awesome!!! So nice...Talking about books..I have gone through lots of mindblowing and entrepreneurship tinz but u just find out most of the doctrines and teachings of these books are not practicable in nigeria or say Africa at large due to our frustrating system.. Companies and Organizations take business proposals from white guys more serious than those coming from blacks.....Reading books is good but our today society has become something more than books to read.. |

Someone left his work - annual pay of some 12 million naira and went back to school. He's in his late 30s, married and with 3 kids. He said he wants to develop himself, increase his knowledge base. There's nothing ''exciting' in what he does everyday at work, he wants new challenges and new way of doing things that comes with higher knowledge. |

This personal development you are talking about that costs 100K in the corporate world...what is it that you really teach? what skills do you pass on to these young people you are trying to help? From all you have written, it seems you need to do a rethink on how best to impact your world. Your hypothesis sounds noble but your motive is questionable. Don't ride on the principles of benevolence to achieve your selfish ends. Please be more objective. |
