In the court, someone says something like " He shot me three times, and then left me, thinking I am dead." The judge or the prosecutor would(more likely than not) ask the man " Are you dead?" Or " Did you die?" Is these questions necessary? What if the man answered " Yes i died" Or " Yes i am dead" Will the judge accept that the man who is standing before him has died or is dead? If not, why then do judges, lawyers and prosecutors ask such questions? During Oputa panel trials, the judge asked Oladipo Diya "If you see Abacha can you recognize him?" Diya answered that it was not possible to see someone who is dead and buried. He wondered whether the judge was trying to scare people present with the idea that Abacha could appear in their midst. But the judge insisted that he must answer the question. |
Some FTI will receive their salaries today. |
CertyAgroAllied:Says who? As if I and others don't buy chicken. |
Spidermon:Ok. |
Spidermon:How much do you suppose they should sell it? Here you can buy chicken less than N1000. So if the seller buys his chicken less than N1000, prepares it and sells it N1500,is it suspicious? Here,a Hausa man will almost never try to cheat his own brothers, that is why they make moderate profit, because everyone is watching each other and any attempt by any Hausa man to make so much profit could result in him being labelled a fake Muslim. Although there are some who dupe and exploit people while selling. But many of them try to avoid such. |
I cannot begin to understand why it should be sold for N4500. Here in Katsina, I buy full chicken, well prepared for N1500. |
The thing is very simple: Ask the school which accepted you that you prefer to serve in the polytechnic, that you should be allowed to go. If they release you, you go. If they don't release you, you go. They don't have a say as such, so even if you leave without their consent, nothing will happen, as long as another place has accepted you, and you have made NYSC aware of your new PPA. But more likely than never, the school will let you go if you tell them there is another PPA on your dashboard which you prefer. They know you are not rejecting them but you are choosing between 2 options. If you choose the polytechnic,it is legal and even NYSC cannot say that you rejected your PPA. You don't reject your PPA, but you are choosing between 2 PPA's which is legal in every definition of the word "Legal". You need to do another documentation and it won't affect you negatively after this. During my own time, some people had experience similar to yours and it didn't affect them at all. |

Some people just want to serve for the experience of it. I have seen a rich guy whose story is a very long one. As at the time I am typing this,he is still insisting he must go for service not because he wants the allowance but to get the experience. He said he has resolved to spend only the 3 weeks in camp, because he is already a federal government worker with an exemption certificate as a graduate from one private University. His issues with the second University has been resolved and he has been awarded a degree. He wants to take permission from his work place, just to experience the 3 weeks camp. In the camp, you will surely see elderly people you are coming for service. If the lady actually wants to serve, she should find out from people in her University who know what can be done. My friend swore affidavit and was permitted to serve. |
1stExplorer:By now, so many men would have sent you DM. Please beware of them and stick to your lover. Some of them have 3 things in mind: 1) Sex (which is the main reason some of them will ever DM a woman) 2) To get your money 3) To dupe/harm you in one way or the other. There are good men although. There are also few who may want you to treat them the way you are treating your lover. But you can't be too sure of who is who. You are actually a great woman and I believe your lover will enjoy it when you people get married. Although I didn't see anything in the video to indicate that you really took your boyfriend out. I only saw you, the restaurant and the food without anything as close as possible to indicate that you actually took your man out. Someone is of the idea that you are actually trying to advertise the restaurant and your videos. Bye. |
criuze:Ok. By 2023, when he steps down, and you think about him, you will no longer be angry. What will matter then will not be today. If things turned out very well by then, you will be surprised that your thoughts about the past (ie today) will even be pleasant. That is why they say The good old days. One psychologist said " Do not fail to appreciate today while you are still in it, because by tomorrow, you will surely miss today. " It doesn't always mean that old days were good and pleasant when you experienced it. It is mostly pleasant when you have passed it and you are looking at it in retrospect. Time changes yesterday from bad to good. |
Bodmum:Ok. |
SportsHD:Ok. But for now, nothing like that. |
If you actually want to be sober, try to remember all aspects of your life before today. For example,try to remember how you were a small boy or girl, playing with other kids. To you then, that is all what mattered. But now, it doesn't matter. Even so, today will no longer matter to you in the next few/many years. So don't take today very serious, because soon,it won't matter. Also try reading history books. It will lead you into the recognition that your life on Earth will come to an end, just as people lived yesterday, did a lot of things, even better than you are doing, but today they're no more. You won't be far from the realization that most things achieved yesterday did not continue forever. For example,Nebuchadnezzar built Babylon, but today Babylon is no more. |
Another thing that makes me sober is when I remember yesterday. The same way yesterday does not matter anymore to us, is the same way today will not matter in the next many years. In the past, you must have been offended or abused by someone or something, but today you don't even remember it again, or even if you remember,it doesn't matter anymore to you. So you have to see today as the yesterday of tomorrow. That's why they say "Time changes yesterday" because the yesterday that looked so offensive and distressing when you were in it, over time, you don't feel it again, but may even feel it was good. Whatever you experienced yesterday,which did not feel good, over time you either feel good about it or you no longer feel bad about it. This underscores the need for self restrain instead of reacting negatively and complicating things over a situation which will not matter in the next few/many years. |
To me, one of the premier reasons I become sober is the recognition that one day, I and everyone who is presently alive will no longer be on this Earth, just like there were people in the other centuries like the 15th,16th,17th,18th centuries who lived but now all of them have left this Earth. By 2121, hundred years from today, everyone presently alive will be all dead. By then, you may be in heaven although. But I am talking about you living on the Earth. This underscores the reason we should not allow things to worry us, because no matter what,we will never leave this Earth with anything. Why do you get so angry or worried about anything of which you will not live forever to enjoy on the Earth? So if someone or something has offended you,or something doesn't turn out the way you wanted, you should let it go, because,by 2100, you will not be alive to continue enjoying what you are getting offended about. NOTHING MATTERS IN LIFE APART FROM HAVING FOOD TO EAT, CLOTHES TO WEAR, AND SHELTER TO REST YOUR HEAD. EVERY OTHER THING IS NOT NECESSARY AS YOU WON'T TAKE THEM WITH YOU WHEN LEAVING THE EARTH. YOU CANNOT ACHIEVE MORE THAN SOLOMON OR ALEXANDER THE GREAT, WHO DESPITE THEIR ACHIEVEMENT, LEFT THE EARTH WITH NOTHING. Can you mention something which when you think about, it makes you sober and humble. |
It is part of the innate wickedness that dwells in the hearts of people. When once a woman sees a man with a woman, she will try to take him from her, as part of the hidden desire to cause pains to someone. I even heard that when a woman sees a man with a woman, his value in her eyes suddenly increases. So she will desire to get him. But there is more to it than that. It has to do with the inexplicable desire in the hearts of people to cause pains to someone else. The woman will end up in tears when her man is being taken by another woman. That is the aim: To cause pains. Why didn't she go for single good men who are all around her? She goes for the married/engaged man/a man with girlfriend because she wants to cause heart-break to the other woman. Although in her mind, she thinks she is doing so for another reason. But the ultimate goal is to cause pains. Small wonder it is written that "the heart of human being is desperately wicked, who can know it." If as she is trying to get another woman's man, the other woman dies,or for one reason or another,is no longer with the man, she would suddenly lose interest in the man. This is because her real goal was to cause pains and since the other woman is no longer available to experience the pain, she would lose interest. |
Some people are of the belief that the corps member must have done something very bad to warrant such treatment. Their theory for this is that she accepted the punishment and did not offer resistance, because she must had done something very bad. Someone even suggested that the reason NYSC has asked the girl to leave the state may be because of what she did. But I believe the corps member is innocent. Whatever really happened,I believe the soldier went too far. But sometimes, a civilian must also learn to respect a soldier, particularly if the soldier is not disrespecting the civilian, but is minding his/her business. I once entered a luxurious night bus, with many female soldiers taking over all the back seat, because sometimes, soldiers don't want civilians to sit behind them. The soldiers were all in mufti, so some people may not have known they were soldiers. As I was admiring one Igbo female soldier, because she was telling other female soldiers about different things concerning the army,I sitting in her front, the conductor came and saw her sitting on top of the Headrest part of her seat, behind which were loads. He began to harrass her, pushing her, asking her to sit on her seat and calling her names. It was like he was doing it to tell me "Look this woman you are admiring is nothing" It was as much as she could do not to retaliate. Some soldiers would have proven themselves to show that everything they were claiming was not a lie. Even when she started asking the man whether he was an animal, and was speaking about him being a bloody civilian, the man still pretended as if he didn't know she was a soldier, since only soldiers can use those words. Other female soldiers were trying to settle the matter in peace by begging the man. Had it been they reacted negatively and it reached the public domain, everyone would be condemning the soldiers, without trying to find out what really happened. I have seen civilians harassing soldiers. So many people can also relate to what I am saying. In the Karaye NYSC camp,I witnessed one incident. After that, I have witnessed like 2 to 3 other incidents of a civilian shouting at a soldier or doing something demeaning to a soldier. There is no one in Nairaland who can claim that he/she has not witnessed a civilian harassing a soldier before. Civilians should avoid it. I tell the truth: Most soldiers will NEVER harrass you,if you respect them and respect yourself, unless they are going on a revenge mission and consider everyone in the area as enemy. There are some who can act badly under the influence of drugs although. |
