I don’t really understand some schools this days. My baby girl cleared all her subjects with distinction, all As and she was given 3rd position. She has been sobbing uncontrollably since yesterday. Yes, she was promised Christmas gifts and present if she takes first position in class this term.
I think she deserves the 1st position. I want to go to the school on Monday and appeal for result recheck. It can’t be!
I am not taking this o! My baby deserves 1st position with this result.

Fool! Celebrate the brilliant child. Rating in the class is insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Arrogant man. The 100m you wasted on party nomination form could have empowered a few youths in your church.

sukkot:
See at this point I don't understand most Nigerians anymore. Every time I offer a helping hand to Nigerians they turn to your enemy. I don't understand the dynamics behind it. The whole interaction just gets very awkward after that . It's like they hate you for " humbling " them. It never fails.

But the ones who have a pure friendly relationship with you? Are the ones you haven't given anything yet. So in my everyday life person to person I try to do charity because charity covers a multitude of sins and givers never lack.

So this is a recent case study. This young guy , a security guard was sent by the company to guard the house I stay. I would say about 19 years old. One night I went grocery shopping and I was going through the gate he runs over from across the street and told me he was hungry. So I said what does he eat ? He said he likes indomie . So I went to my place and brought out like 5 indomie and 3 soft drinks and 2 sardines and gave it to him. He thanked me.

Every 2 days when I go out I would do small grocery shopping for him. Indomie and biscuits and soft drinks sardine or bread. A few times when I go out to get bottled palmwine for myself I would get him palmwine or orijin beer he likes. But I started noticing his entitlement behaviour like on the days when I don't buy him anything he would time when I Am coming home and sit beside my door when he sees me carrying my own groceries and he would be looking at me like he is depressed. And he would Always be watching me to see if I am going grocery shopping and he would hang around the car to see if I would come out with grocery.

Let's just say this guy got ridiculously stalkerish and so I called him up 4 days ago and asked him has his salary being paid yet? He said yes. Because am thinking all these things he is doing because he is new on the job and has no money and is hungry so I put up with it for like a month.

But once he told me yes that he had being paid, I in a roundabout way told him I don't tolerate the stalking. That he doesn't need to be following me or waiting on me. Anyway since that day this guy just turned into an enemy. Someone who I have been buying groceries for for almost a whole month just turned hostile like that. Now all that time I was buying him grocery he would do ass kissing stuff like when I drop my black trash bag outside my door he would take it to the bin outside for me but since that day the guy just bone my trash bags lol.

Anyway the point here is this ? You create an enemy unknowingly out of those you help - not family members- because I think it is humiliating for them and they despise you for it, so if you are going to offer charity don't offer it to people you have to see on a daily basis. Just find a beggar in the street that you would never see again. Nigerians are funny, they beg you for money but they hate you for giving them that money especially if it is not a life changing amount.

It's like a guy I gave 5000 naira one time and he thought it was an insult, just a regular guy who I don't even know like that, God is my witness, which 5000 is no money but it was just for him to buy beer for the weekend, you can get 15 beers with 5000 when I gave it to him.

So out here on these streets you have to be savage. No more mr nice guy ooo lol. basically if you are not offering guys over 100k just forget it cuz they would hate you. look for a real beggar who would appreciate 5000 or 1000.

You took him through the 5 steps of dependency:
Appreciation ,Anticipation, Expectations, Entitlement, Dependency.

And people wonder why he smoked marijuana a lot. Nigeria battered this man body, mind and soul.

If proper investigation would be carried out in most of the unreported cases like you've said, you will see that 50% out of 100% victims have those nets around their pools.

I hope we are still making reference to Nigerian swimming pools? I don't dispute cases of freak accidents but many don't anticipate these accidents and neglect secondary barriers. Some parents overestimate their kids swimming ability and leave them without supervision. Access control with net barriers is the simplest solution for a society like Nigeria.

Cypress042:
Even with those net around the pools a child that will drown will drown

Just pray that stuffs like this don't remember you.

There are many unreported cases aside Davido's son. Fences will reduce the likelihood of such accidents. It is not perfect, but better than leaving things to chance.

Get a menial job doing. It's not about employment always. Your depression will pass if you are busy. Building sites, ironing service, cleaning service, learn how to fumigate homes, run errands for rich folks etc. You and your wife put yourselves to use instead of suicide thoughts. Passion to feed your children should drive you. You say your landlord humiliates you, you are denying him his income. Fair is fair.

cornerstonee:
Good morning
I woke up in an overwhelming sadness that's making me begining to see suicide as a way out..
I am married with 2 kids, lost my job during the covid period and can't lay my hands on any good one after that. My wife works with an insurance company and has been sacked cos she couldn't meet up to their target and that's because of the location. Ever since then, it has been an humiliating experience. From house rent to feeding, school fees for my children have been like something that's impossible. Yesterday night, my landlord embarrassed me amidst the remaining tenant after so many attempts to beg him to be a little patience with me.. The most annoying part is seeing my two kids starving without me able to do anything..i have resorted to suicide but thinking if that is really the solution.. Please I need help financially or if there's a job anybody can help me with.. In fact there's no food for the children to eat this morning and children wouldn't know if there's money or not.. Please I beg. Any help this morning will go along way.. I pray that anyone would never be in my position amen!

Dear Nairalanders,

I got this job in 2019 and it turns out that now I am the only male senior staff except from the security guard. Way back in 2019 there were 2 other guys but they left in 2020 after our company transferred to a different location and since then, I have been the only male staff other than the security guard whose job is not in internal affairs.

She is actually my senior colleague and way older than myself but over the past year and some months now, we have been so friendly though we don't discuss relationship together or talk anything boyfriend and girlfriend together but something seems to be odd in her look whenever I talk about a girl likewise myself I felt odd when she talks about a guy she flirted with.

In my office every other staff have a nickname for us both even my boss was the one who initiated the nickname because of how close we are and even though I nurse getting under her skirts, I do not have yet the muscle to tell her that and lately I am beginning to like her more as we share everything about ourselves.

I have been to her house and can go to her house at anytime and she was the one who persuaded me to return to the company after I didn't want to return when it relocated and also convince my boss to retain me; sometimes she buys me food in the office likewise myself and always like to have me around her like working together and whenever she needs assistance over a job, she will want me to be the person to help.

I notice she and my other female (married) colleague who work in the same department with us had almost had squabble because of whom I should be assisting and since she's the most senior colleague she won over that one.

She is very single and above her 40s but I don't mind as age does not define my relationship and right now I am growing so fund of her in a way I can't stop imagining and I need your advise on how to relate my feelings and make her confess hers to me.

All criticism and advise will be duly accepted.

Get another job first. If you then still like her, make her know. Otherwise you are courting problem.

AnodaIT:
This can work in Nigeria if only Nigeria is restructured and each states have their own specific laws as per power, not this giantrum that makes one law for all.

This Solution is too advanced for Nigeria. Check all the solar Street lights in Nigeria and show me one that has lasted up to 2yrs.

It's from the vigilante security group. They send the community into panick with the letter, then get recruited as security.

Then, it would be the couple in poverty with another 'wireman' saying children brings good luck.
Cycle of African poverty.

This is disgusting if you ask me. The one on the LHS is already pregnant sef.

Na wah o.

How is it disgusting? Jacob in the bible married 2 sisters. Each sister still offered their house girls to Jacob to produce more children. Nothing new under the sun.

Lol... so much hate here. I don't hate any of my teachers. I'd like to believe they did all they did for me to turn out good. Even if that wasn't the case, that believe gives me peace of mind. It's not easy to be a teacher. A student will hate you for punishing them but will still love their parents who used to hit them with all sorts of objects. The truth is, if you aren't someone's parent, it's extremely hard proving you're hitting/punishing them out of love and not hate.

The Kevin guy might have turned out great cause he was trying to prove a point all thanks to the teacher who challenged him as a kid. But here he is cursing the same teacher. I read through his writeup and I didn't see any proof that he was mistreated. I only saw claimes that some parents gave him (the teacher) money (it's natural for one to believe others are treated better cause the authority receives favour from them but do African parents really give teachers money to pet their kids?) and that he was probably sleeping with the matron (this was an assumption and even if it was true, his business does not count here). I also read that he (the writer) was hit for greeting in a certain way; a very normal thing in many schools. While many teachers tend to have favourites (everyone has, it's just not OK to make it obvious), it's also common for the academically poor students to believe they are being maltreated even when that's not the case.

It's understandable if he had these grudges as a kid but as an adult who has experienced life, I'm afraid such level of hatred is unhealthy even for him. His friends and family should be careful around him cause his kind can take grudges to the grave. And that makes me wonder if he really turned out great as he claimed cause a truly fulfilled and happy man wouldn't be preoccupied by such things at this point.

Just my take.

You obviously don't fully understand how human emotions varies. The guy is being truthful with his feelings. You can't have expectations on when and how he forgives.
Some hurt takes time to heal. You would be of help if you had similar or worse experience and can share with him how got over it.

TundeKorede:
TELL IT NOT IN GATH, PUBLISH IT NOT in the streets of Askelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice; lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.
2 Samuel 1:20 (Emphasis’ mine)

Sequel to an ignominious death of Saul, in the hands of the uncircumcised Philistines, David maintained in his lament that a torrent of abuse should not be published about his embarrassing death.

Worthy of mention is the fact that, Saul made himself an obtrusive enemy to David whilst he was alive.

Yet David would not permit the Israelites to share the news of his shameful death in such a way that the uncircumcised Philistines would hear it and rejoice.

Needless to say, we can liken the Philistines to unbelievers, while the Israelites represent the believers of the present world.

Nowadays, believers publicly spread the news of the errors of God’s servants (even fathers of faith are not spared) with no pang of remorse.

In fact, it seems we now take delight in looking for news that are demeaning to the Body of Christ in order to share them on our social media accounts. In addition, we pounce on negative news like Piranhas.

Sadly, there are pastors who publicly ridicule and speak disparagingly about their fellow ministers who are in error, forgetting that all humans are fallible.

Hence, we expose the Body of Christ to a whole series of attacks, ridicule, and vituperation from unbelievers through our unwise disposition towards Men of God.

However, much as I denounce the idea of spreading the news of the downfall/errors of ministers of God, I wouldn’t take sides with them on the atrocities they have committed. Bishop Oyedepo once stated that, ‘‘Sin is sin no matter who is sinning.’‘ I support this truth.

Nonetheless, it is tomfoolery to assume that God’s servants are infallible. The reason why many of us are taken by surprise is that we expect too much from them.

Listen, no man is infallible! Samson fell, Saul fell, Judas fell, even Peter would have fallen beyond restoration if not for the grace of God. May God keep us from falling till the end.

Love does not take delight in sharing evil but rejoices at the truth (1 Cor 13:6). Love protects! So, protect the ministries of other believers. Do not expose them to danger and assaults.

Therefore, walk in love. If we walk in love, the restoration of those who seemed to have fallen will be of concern to us, rather than their total fall or destruction.

Let’s follow this priceless injunction of the Scriptures in Galatians 6:1, which says;

”Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such as one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”

Speak to them and if you cannot speak to them, pray for them. Let the restoration of every fallen minister be paramount to you and not their destruction.

May the Lord keep us till the end.

Like cultists do? Paul called out Peter's errors. Even Jesus' disciples criticised him when some of his messages were too hard for them. If they did it covertly, would it be available for the whole world to read in the bible?
Moreover, the chapter you quoted is a Jewish cultural dirge celebrating their hero. A past Nigerian president, no matter how ignoble, at his funeral, will get a nice speech from the sitting president.
Same David you paint such illustrious pictures of, ordered his. son Solomon- in 'The God Father style' to eliminate Joab and Shimei.

Psoul:



This is beautiful
I have two Rott. They are 8months.
Pple will always tell me that you are making your dog to know people and that will make him not to be aggressive.
I use to tell them I don't want aggressive dogs. I want smart, intelligent and security conscious dogs.
My two dogs are very intelligent. Dey don't bark unnecessarily. When they do, check out there must be something very wrong around.
They can never pee nor poo in their cage. They will always let you know that they are pressed. They do it only on the portion of the house mapped out for peeing and pooing.
You dear not attack or shout at any member of the family in their presence.
Dey don't eat food or drink water that is not in their bowls.
They know our clothes, shoes and slippers. They pick them from outside, return them inside.
As a stranger, u dare not cross the area they believe is their security territory without a member of the house.
When you bring them outside, they remain calm, no barking or attack cos they were socialize to know their territory.

I don't know why Africans love their dogs to be aggressive.
Aggressive dog can even at a point become problem to the owner.
I have seen a dog owner inviting a hunter to come and kill his dog cos he has become uncontrollable.
That is effect of wanting your dog to be aggressive.

If every dog owner can be reasonable and responsible like you. Many get dogs out of desperation for security. I see no reason a dog should bark continously at me in its owner“s presence.
I don't understand the passion for all these aggressive foreign breeds though. Our local bingos are no longer relevant.

Maybe Ozo is reedemable after all. Someone finally talked some sense into him.

Dear Experienced parents and child development experts,

I have a 4-year old child suffering from mild autism which was discovered when he was two. As a concerned parent, i have taken steps by spending a lot in hiring speech and behavioural therapist, and seeing a development pediatrician with some success achieved at least in getting him stable to be able to absorb what he's being taught in class.

With diagnosis done confirming the mildness, i was encouraged to allow him do things regular children do which will help him grow out of the disorder.

Now i noticed that he has memory challenge in terms of ability to retain and recall information especially in his study which is a big concern to me. He also dislikes reading and writing but enjoy visual-based instructions.

In light of above, i need help from parents who have gone through this challenging phase with such kids and also autistic child development experts on how I can help my child over come the short term memory problem,repetition of words, writing and reading.

Please help!!!

Don't waste your money on regular teachers. They are often not trained enough to handle such kids. The proffessional that diagnosed the child should recommend a teacher. Buy lots of illustrated books and download kids educational videos on YouTube.

Get a carpenter to build wooden box. Mount each speaker in the box, get an audio Jack and solder the wires.

It indicates weakness on the part of the parent. The human nature generally appreciates beauty, success, brilliance. The line should be drawn in parenthood. The good /bad/weakness/strength etc, that each child possess should be embraced by parents and not a criteria for choice of favourites.
Any parent that has favourites is laying a foundation for a divided family.

Your friend does not want you in a messy debt situation.

na your elder bro you dey talk to like that?

Your could create a thread for 90s and 00s cartoons and save yourself continuous embarrassment. You can't give what you never had.

Who in this world has Nigeria offended to deserve fools as leaders. These double outboard engine boats hardly can sustain commercial transport.
I expected them to bring in operators like Bourbon, Arco, Seamark etc.

I don't see what all the fuss is about. It is same Nigeria all flights to and from Ph airport was grounded because Patience Jonathan was travelling.
