That's why I said sometimes.
Some men may not love their wives because they were forced on them by parents (arranged marriage) or circumstances(pregnancy). Hence, not their intended choice and for men who can't control their emotion, they end up transferring this hatred to the children.


There is always a reason, genuine or not. That's why I said get to talk with him politely. And let him know you want to be a better man in that aspect, hence he has to let you know what went wrong.

Exactly that is what I said earlier that what steps has he taken so far, it is not all about sending money to him, has he sat his father down or invited him to his place and talk one on one like father and son.

My own case for example my father spend little on me while schooling I was very angry. I sat and reason I realized my dad lost his father at the age of four and his life was all about struggling, he went to the university with nothing and it affected his mentallity it affected the way he treated us.

There was a time we were discussing and he said you better thank God you have a father that is sending little that during his time no father to support him, I have to tell his that it was so because his own father was dead but mine is not dead and it is responsibility for him to provide as long as he his alive.

Sometimes one background play alot in once life.

You deserve what you got,
The 25k Palestinian that died mean nothing to you or you think war is a playground.

Parents has rights and responsibilities over their children, he not playing his responsibility does not mean you should deny him of his rights honoring your parents means you didn't deny him of his rights. His rights are he needs your attention, love, protection, prayers, mercy, kindness.

*How Can You Honor Parents When You Feel They Don’t Deserve It?*

*1. Forgive their transgressions* .
When people commit a transgression, they essentially owe you a debt. In most cases, it’s a debt they cannot pay. Forgiveness means that you choose to wipe away the debt they owe.

*2. Extend mercy.*


*3. Appreciate the good things.*
Everyone on this earth has redeeming qualities. Try to think of as many as you can for your mother or father. What positive physical attributes did this parent pass to you? What about personality traits? Instead of dwelling on bad memories or scars, consider how God has used this parent to make you the person you are today.

*4. Do something as an act of kindness.*
Send flowers for no special reason, or call the parent on the phone just to catch up. Use a special skill that you have to meet a need, such as, paint the bathroom, fix the car, or mow the lawn.

*5. Choose to speak kindly of them.*
Always speak of your parents in high esteem irrespective of what they have done.


*6. Teach your children to honor and extend mercy to their grandparents.*
Just as you should honor your parents, your children should honor their grandparents.

*7. Pray for the parent who mistreated*

*8. Keep your parents* connected with your family.
When relationships are strained, it’s easy to become isolated. Unfortunately, isolation prevents healing and often creates even more awkwardness.

Kobojunkie:
Did you bother reading OP'S story at all before commenting?

2. Wow.... there seems to be some serious issue of disconnect going on here.

I read everything
Irrespective of what his father has done he should honor him.

And please don't reply me, I am only talking to Op, I am only talking to OP he is the only that should reply me please.

Mercylike:
Internal battles na to dey go party up and down while your kids no even get cloth... To dey hide money like sáy he dey carry am go heaven..

Rent the room we are living to someone else for us to go and be squatting...

Oga our fathers are different... Don't compare pls

I stayed with my father longer longer longer longer than I see my mom, don't say mother influence me

Don't let the past steal your present. You are still judging thing base on the past like seriously you are not the only one into this.

I was in University my dad sent little fund I was very angry at him because I knew he was capable to some extent. There was a particular time I was scared of failing I didn't know what happened to me I just called him, he thought I wanted to ask for money and I told him to pray for me that I am scared of failing it was very emotional since then he started calling me and asked about my school life.

What measure have you taken. How often have you called him on phone. Anyone can change.

You need to learn how to control your emotion, you still need to honor your dad irrespective of what he has done. Don't deprive yourself of the blessings one derive from honoring ones parents.

He might have offended you nevertheless he brought you to this word.

Carcholce:
What does Sunnah mean?

..

The 'sunnah' refers to the traditions and practices of the Prophet Muhammad, which are believed by Muslims to be a model for them to follow.

Okpollo:
In your own word HAMAS are not terrorist group. So the goverment of palestine attacked the isreali people and killed so many people a took some people as refugees , the isreali goverment retaliated and the next thing is islamic nations protesting insupport of HAMAS , so its right for isrealis to get killed in their homes while y'all cheer their killers but when they retaliate you want what to happen again? I didnt hear you condemn the killing of isrealis by HAMAS but you what me to believe you're nuetral by condeming only isreal. If only you were comdemning the attack before isreal retaliated it should have been a different ball game. Let tell for free , its the attitude of the rest of the islamuc nations Na the leadership of palestinian thats is making isreal go so hard on in Gaza. I asked those celebrating the day HAMAS attacked if they were going to mentain that energy, i guess the answer is no.

When I say I support Biafra liberation from Nigeria Does that mean I support the killing made by the agitators.
Exactly no one is blind we all see what the US and Israel has done to Palestine before the attack.
Hamas is just a military group to counter the oppression from Israel which is the right thing to do but did it the wrong way by killing innocent civilian.

IamAtikulate:
Yorba Moslem rest

I am a Muslim and my mom is a Christian there is nothing like Yoruba Muslim and Christian in South West.

Okpollo:
You dont support HAMAS which is palestinian goverment but you support Palestine?🤡🤡🤡

read properly before you quote me.
I said I don't support the killing . But you guys to think of it, why is there protest in solidarity with the Palestine all over the world, despite the fact that Israel and the US labelled this people terrorist group ?

IamAtikulate:
So where is Israeli territory?

it is like saying where is Fulani land and hausa land . Same as Israel and Palestine.

Dexy4yah:
Israel is making all these terrorist sympathizers feel so depressed

Keep on whining yourself .
The whole world is watching.
All what that matters is as long as Palestine keep fighting against oppression. No one is in support of what hamas did, but try to think of it despite the brutal attack carried out by hamas in which I am not support of we have seen people from all over the world I n support of Palestine why ?

DestinyNigga:
Is not hypocrisy my dear. Isreal is God's own people. You can't fight God and win. Let you head slammers have it at the back of your mind.

At least head slamming is still better than a religion that openly supported LGBT.

Righteousness2:
Before you allow the devil or Spirits use you to hunt the Children of ISRAEL, Ensure you take your time to carefully write down your will.
There is little or no difference between the battles of Israel in Bible and today's Israel.

Same methods! Same tactics! Same almost Everything.
GOD Bring back the abductees.
GOD Bless HIS CHOSEN Nation
GOD Bless HIS First born!
GOD Bless JERUSALEM!
I stand with ISRAEL

So you are different from those that doesn't think before they talk and you claim to be righteous what is now the essence of your preaching "hypocrite" indeed.

And as a matter of fact which children of Israel are you talking about are the children of Israel of nowadays still as pure as the one in the Bible keep on deceiving your self.

Jennyclay:
Useless fake pastors everywhere!!

These pastors are the ones encouraging ritualist in our society . They don’t care whether you’re a ritualist or not, just give them money and watch them pray nonsense prayers.

Useless men!!

You always find a way of putting the word men in your comments
Are you not tired. 😐

I saw most people are supporting op action I still believe she shouldn't have carried out that act arresting her husband who is also the father of her children. Because if it was the other way round will you say that the husband also has the right to arrest his wife who is also the mother of your children.

Looking at things I don't believe a man will sit down at home for two years without contributing at all and he will feel comfortable with it. And probably you have done something that triggered upset him.

I am not in support of domestic violence, if op believes the man is completely useless then she should be prepare the outcome of her actions without feeling remorseful. Been remorseful means there are still a lot that has not been said and she's still interested in him.

Op should tried to be careful from whom you take advise from because once things get back to normal for the man they won't be there to plead on your behalf.

I also gave similar issue. l being a student managing himself using a single room and she is using four rooms all because I was using hot plate when it is time to pay NEPA bill she charges me #1500 without even telling me the overall bill i wanted to confront her but she was an elderly woman

This is one of the reasons I overlook women when they misbehave and never get jealous when the world celebrate them more may Almighty Allah bless all mother out there

Bethanybethel:
You are right my dad is paying the price for abandoning us with our sick mother. He have some health issues I have decided not to help him, he will suffer until his last breath on earth..

This isn't right is just the some of us are not appreciative did you want to tell me he has not done a single thing in your life

And your Lord has decreed that you worship not except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], "uff,"[1] and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

Hmm � parents should learn how to take care of their children
But for those comparing mothers to father I believe is not necessary here because female are more emotional than man is just like comparing a male teacher to a female teacher to primary pupils

This is madness at infinity

Even though the man messed up a thirteen years old should not respond to his dad that way parents are meant to be respected irrespective of their behavior

Wow! God bless Nigeria

Sometime this weekend, a massive booster from a Chinese rocket will begin an uncontrolled fall back to Earth from space — and because of its considerable size and weight, parts of it may survive the descent through our planet’s atmosphere and hit the ground. The chances of the rocket hitting anyone and killing them are exceedingly rare, but a similar falling Chinese rocket last year sparked major concern worldwide, which means this rocket will probably do the same.



The booster is part of a Long March 5B rocket, which launched on July 24th, sending a new module into orbit for China’s growing Tiangong space station. After the giant rocket reaches space, it sheds a fairly massive part of itself: its core booster. This booster sticks around in orbit, lapping the planet before eventually falling back to Earth. Since the rocket part is more than 100 feet long and more than 22 tons in weight, it’s possible that up to 9 tons’ worth of material could survive the fall.

Space trackers are doing their best to predict exactly when and where the Long March 5B booster will come down. The situation closely mimics that of last year’s global scare over an uncontrolled Chinese rocket that fell back to Earth, as well as a similar uncontrolled reentry in 2020. Both of those instances also involved a core booster from China’s Long March 5B, which does not have the capability of disposing of itself in a controlled manner. Fortunately, last year, the rocket came down in the sparsely populated Indian Ocean, but in 2020, that falling rocket did dump debris off of the Ivory Coast, sending metal pipes and other objects into villages without causing any injuries.

“THIS IS NOT NEEDED. WE HAVE THE TECHNOLOGY TO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.”
Still, the risk to the average human from this year’s rocket is so low that it should not keep anyone up at night. In fact, for any one person on Earth, there are six chances in 10 trillion that a part of this rocket will hit you and cause some kind of casualty or injury, according to the Aerospace Corporation, a nonprofit that does space research and development, as well as provide technical guidance on spaceflight. But, the fact that space trackers have to continue to deal with this kind of issue without knowing when and where the rocket will come down is frustrating.

“Why are we worried? Well, it did cause property damage the last time, and people are having to do preparation as a result,” Ted Muelhaupt, a space traffic expert and consultant with the Aerospace Corporations’ corporate chief engineer’s office, said during a presser about the rocket. “Furthermore, this is not needed. We have the technology to not have this problem.”


In the United States and Europe, the rule for space operators is that if there is going to be some kind of uncontrolled reentry of space debris into Earth’s atmosphere, there must be a lower than 1 in 10,000 chance that the falling object will cause some kind of casualty, or injury, on the ground. It’s a particularly high bar to clear, which is why US and European missions have to be vigilant about how they dispose of the rockets they send into space. “Basically, once you’re done delivering your payload, you turn your rocket around, fire the engine, and drive it back into the ocean somewhere, usually someplace where there’s no population,” Marlon Sorge, a space debris expert and technical fellow with the Aerospace Corporation, said. “You do that, and you have pretty much mitigated the risk right there.”


Controlled disposal is something that most launch providers throughout the world do already. SpaceX and the United Launch Alliance, for instance, purposefully deposit parts of their rockets over the ocean after they launch to space. Plus, the core of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket is famous for actually flying back to Earth and landing upright — either on a drone ship or landing pad — following its flights. The core booster of the Long March 5B doesn’t have that capability. Once it launches into orbit, the engines on the rocket core can’t really reignite. “They’re designed for a single burn,” Jonathan McDowell, an astrophysicist at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics and space tracking expert, tells The Verge. “And so this thing just burns once and then switches off, and it’s dead.” Then we just have to wait for it to fall back to Earth as its orbit decays over time.

“THIS THING JUST BURNS ONCE AND THEN SWITCHES OFF, AND IT’S DEAD.”
The Aerospace Corporation estimates that there is between a 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 230 risk of a casualty from the falling Long March 5B booster. That’s 10 times above the 1 in 10,000 threshold, which is why there is heightened vigilance around this specific case. And whenever China pulls a stunt like this, the US isn’t particularly happy about it. “Spacefaring nations must minimize the risks to people and property on Earth of reentries of space objects and maximize transparency regarding those operations,” NASA administrator Bill Nelson said when the 2021 Long March 5B fell. “It is clear that China is failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris.”

China seemingly took note of the criticism. During this most recent launch, one Chinese official during the CGTN launch livestream mentioned that they had made improvements to dispose of the booster after launch. “The last segment, or the core segment, once it [enters] into the orbit, it also [works] as a spacecraft,” Xu Yansong, former director for international cooperation at the China National Space Administration, said during the livestream. “So we’ll have to bring it back safely and in a controlled manner. So one of the first missions was unable to do that, but later on, we improve our technologies. And so what we call the passivation of the last stage has been conducted, so we can safely bring back the last fuselage.”


However, it does not seem like anything has changed since the last scare. In fact, the European Union’s Space Surveillance and Tracking network has found that the booster is tumbling through space, indicating there is no control over the object. So we’ll be going through the whole process of predicting where it will come down all over again. As of now, the European Union, the US Space Force, and the Aerospace Corporation’s best guesses of when it will come down is sometime late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. As for where it will come down, it’ll be somewhere between 41.5 degrees North and 41.5 degrees South. That means about 1 billion who live north and south of those lines have zero risk. (Boston and parts of Tasmania — congratulations, you’re right outside the zone.) But 88 percent of the human population lives within that range, according to the Aerospace Corporation.

“YOU’RE 80,000 TIMES MORE LIKELY TO GET HIT BY LIGHTNING THAN YOU ARE BY SPACE DEBRIS.”
Predictions will get more precise with each passing day as we get closer to Sunday, and the Aerospace Corporation is continually updating its predictions here. The European Union is keeping track as well, as is the Space Force. As for what to expect when the rocket comes down? Based on past experience, the debris could spread over an area hundreds of miles in length along the rocket’s orbital track. Some pieces, depending on their size and weight, may hit the ground slowly, while others might hit the ground fast, at speeds that could reach hundreds of miles per hour. Ultimately, it’s a guessing game, and we may not know much about this event until the rocket actually comes down. “The history of reentering things has been a history of continuing surprise,” says McDowell. “How much actually does survive reentry? Sometimes more survived than you might have initially expected.”

But even though there is slightly more risk than usual with this falling rocket, it’s important to keep things in perspective. “The risk to any given individual in any given year from getting conked in the head by a piece of space debris is one in 100 billion,” Muelhaupt said. “You’re 80,000 times more likely to get hit by lightning than you are by space debris. But this doesn’t mean that this is a good thing to do.”

So enjoy this new round of falling rocket uncertainty. Once it’s over, we’ll probably have to do it all again. There’s another Long March 5B launch tentatively scheduled for this fall.

BrandSpurNG:
We can all agree that education is important. However, taking the traditional education route of attending a four-year university after secondary school can take a long time and is usually fairly pricey.

For some, the traditional schooling system is not their forte and the idea of racking up debt in the form of loans is not enticing.

If attending college isn’t in your plans, you should consider getting a degree via distance learning programmes or get an online degree in any course. In Nigeria, while you might not need a degree to get a job, you would eventually need it for career progression.

Has it happened to me yesterday , after I sent back the credit the man said an elderly man want to thank me and the elderly man said he his from Ondo State and started praying for me then he said he is a babalawo in Ondo State I didn't think twice before I switched off my phone.
