Pronmix:
The story of Abubakar comes to mind when I saw this topic, dude was supposed to sow my uniform I would resume school with in about 3 weeks very much plenty time right (lol), I actually noticed something was wrong when he was taking measurements, tried explaining how and what style I want it to be he kept saying he understands and I thought yeah he must have been doing this a long time to know what's up very wrong, he said I should come a week later I showed up, his colleague said he's out of town but dropped message that I should check back next week, came again he said he's done but needs to iron it that I should come later, came back when he asked the shop was closed now its few days to resumption I began to panic cos since then he wouldn't pick mumsy's call, we had to set spies to catch him unawares he brought the "uniform" lol if it was qualified to be called that it looked like Fela's tailor was having a bad day, the trousers was so tight at the waist area my junior boy was squashed to one side and the legs very fat I could sow another one with them, the shirt was something else picture Fela's tight shirts hanging at the midriff, it so funny I couldn't get angry. I skipped school for a week so as to get another one cos I already outgrew the old ones. Tailors, mechanics, shoe makers they all act the same one disappointment or the other.
Phone repairers also fall in that category

how could someone be climbing the mountain from morning to night and yet he is still two feets from the groundhuh
I can sense that you are going through difficult times but save your self the embarassment of having two useless eyes.
Christianity EtcThe Moutain Climber-a Test Of Faith by arvinsloane(op): 2:02pm On Oct 17, 2014
They tell the story of a mountain climber who, desperate to
conquer the Aconcagua, initiated his climb after years of
preparation. But he wanted the glory to himself, therefore,
he went up alone. He started climbing and it was becoming
later, and later. He did not prepare for camping, but decided
to keep on going.
Soon it got dark. Night fell with heaviness at a very high
altitude. Visibility was zero. Everything was black. There was
no moon, and the stars were covered by clouds.
As he was climbing a ridge at about 100 meters from the
top, he slipped and fell. Falling rapidly he could only see
blotches of darkness that passed. He felt a terrible sensation
of being sucked in by gravity. He kept falling… and in those
anguishing moments good and bad memories passed
through his mind. He thought certainly he would die.
But then he felt a jolt that almost tore him in half. Yes! Like
any good mountain climber he had staked himself with a
long rope tied to his waist. In those moments of stillness,
suspended in the air he had no other choice but to shout:
“HELP ME GOD. HELP ME!”
All of a sudden he heard a deep voice from heaven… “What
do you want me to do?”
“SAVE ME.”
“Do you REALLY think that I can save you?”
“OF COURSE, MY GOD.”
“Then cut the rope that is holding you up.”
There was another moment of silence and stillness. The man
just held tighter to the rope. The rescue team says that the
next day they found a frozen mountain climber hanging
strongly to a rope…
TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND.
————
How about you? How trusting are you in that rope? Would you have listened to the voice of God by cutting the rope off your waist without even knowing that you were only two feet off the ground?This is truly a test of faith and I doubt if a handful of people would have let go of the rope.

This is a very sad thread...
FamilyIn This Temptation.what Will You Do? by arvinsloane(op): 10:40pm On Oct 16, 2014
Don’t be in a hurry to answer the question you about to
read. Think through the issue first before your answer.
First, here is the story.
On Sunday, I heard a story that left me scratching my head
in search of what I would have done if I had found myself on
a similar turf. A man narrated a story of how his resolve was
tested a day to his wedding. He had been pursuing a
particular contract some months before his wedding date.
After several attempts at securing the contract yielded no
results, he gave up. He said he wanted the contract so
desperately because the contract looked like the financial
breakthrough he had been praying for all his life.
Early Friday morning on that fateful, he got a call requesting
him to come down to Abuja the following day to put pen to
paper. To put pen to paper on his wedding day? He had
been selected to execute the contract, the caller informed
him. The deadline to sign the contract was the following day,
his wedding day.
In a twinkling of an eye, the joy that the initial news that he
had been selected to execute the contract disappeared. A
sense of despair set in. The caller did not want to hear
excuses. He didn’t want to know whether it was a burial or a
wedding. “Tomorrow or never,” he insisted.
“Come down to our office tomorrow to sign the contract or
we will look for another contractor without excuses to
handle it for us,” the man insisted. Oh boy, see confusion!
He called the lady he was supposed to get married to the
following day to seek her opinion. The lady told him to
forget about the contract initially but when he mentioned
the anticipated profit from the contract, the lady became
speechless. He quickly called a a couple of friends to explain
his ordeal. His story was greeted with some mixed feelings.
Some friends advised him to shift the wedding to a future
date while some were opposed to the idea. They encouraged
him to forget about the contract that many more would
come in the future. Luckily for him, the man later called
back to say he could come on Monday morning to sign the
contract.
So the question is, if the man didn’t call back, what would
you have done if you were in the groom’s shoes?
I heard something very similar to this as a joke, however, it
dawned on me that it could truly happen to anybody after I
heard the man’s story
Ladies what would you advice your man to do, move the
wedding to another date or what? Guys would forfeit 20
million worth of contract because of your wedding?

EducationThe Use Of "Should In Case"-a Big Blunder by arvinsloane(op): 11:05am On Oct 16, 2014
What do people mean when they say "should in
case"? Some even say "in case of incasity".
CAUTION: Both
are blunders. The first is an error of tautology,. e.g.
INCORRECT: Take this money for your upkeep should in case
I arrive late. CORRECT: Take this money for your upkeep
should I arrive late; or say "...in case I arrive late" (not both,
please). The second is a pure case of error in meaning and
sense. NB: Please, never again be caught being a victim of
these blunders.

RomanceA Priceless Reply From A Banker To A Pretty Girl Who Wanted A Rich Husband by arvinsloane(op): 10:21pm On Oct 12, 2014
The following is what a women posted on a dating forum
seeking a rich husband:
"
I’m going to be honest of what I’m going to say here. I’m
25 this year. I’m very pretty, have style and good taste. I
wish to marry a guy with $500k annual salary or above.
You might say that I’m greedy, but an annual salary of $
1M is considered only as middle class in New York.
My requirement is not high. Is there anyone in this forum
who has an income of $500k annual salary? Are you all
married? I wanted to ask: what should I do to marry rich
persons like you?
Among those I’ve dated, the richest is $250k annual
income, and it seems that this is my upper limit.
If someone is going to move into high cost residential
area on the west of New York City Garden(?), $250k
annual income is not enough.
I’m here humbly to ask a few questions:
1) Where do most rich bachelors hang out? (Please list
down the names and addresses of bars, restaurant, gym)
2) Which age group should I target?
3) Why most wives of the riches are only average-looking?
I’ve met a few girls who don’t have looks and are not
interesting, but they are able to marry rich guys.
4) How do you decide who can be your wife, and who can
only be your girlfriend? (my target now is to get married)
Ms. Pretty
A philosophical reply from CEO of J.P. Morgan below:
Dear Ms. Pretty,
I have read your post with great interest. Guess there are
lots of girls out there who have similar questions like yours.
Please allow me to analyse your situation as a professional
investor.
My annual income is more than $500k, which meets your
requirement, so I hope everyone believes that I’m not
wasting time here.
From the standpoint of a business person, it is a bad
decision to marry you. The answer is very simple, so let me
explain.
Put the details aside, what you’re trying to do is an exchange
of “beauty” and “money” : Person A provides beauty, and
Person B pays for it, fair and square.
However, there’s a deadly problem here, your beauty will
fade, but my money will not be gone without any good
reason. The fact is, my income might increase from year to
year, but you can’t be prettier year after year.
Hence from the viewpoint of economics, I am an
appreciation asset, and you are a depreciation asset. It’s not
just normal depreciation, but exponential depreciation. If
that is your only asset, your value will be much worse 10
years later.
By the terms we use in Wall Street, every trading has a
position, dating with you is also a “trading position”.
If the trade value dropped we will sell it and it is not a good
idea to keep it for long term – same goes with the marriage
that you wanted. It might be cruel to say this, but in order to
make a wiser decision any assets with great depreciation
value will be sold or “leased”.
Anyone with over $500k annual income is not a fool; we
would only date you, but will not marry you. I would advice
that you forget looking for any clues to marry a rich guy. And
by the way, you could make yourself to become a rich
person with $500k annual income.This has better chance
than finding a rich fool.
Hope this reply helps.
signed,
J.P. Morgan CEO
