It's unfortunate that both songs have to pitch against each other.

They both have similar messages and are both excellent.

However, I'll pick Timi Dakolo's over Dare's.

The former is more spirit lifting.

Yes a friend called me to tell me he is no longer working because buhari stopped their job

Your friend must be corrupt.

All that shiit are lies

Nice

SirJeffry:
I don't trade words with gullible folks like you.

My dad(MSC holder) and my mum(BSC holder)served Nigeria diligently at the federal level before their retirement.

So, for a man with an ordinary o-level to insult them and their likes just because some gullible fellows like you voted him as your president is something I can't swallow easily.

My dear this kind of comment will make ppl want to refer to your dad and mum when responding.

Leave them outta Nairaland bro.

But trust me, civil service is now at it's lowest productive level.

It's redeemable though.

See as the guy dey fresh. Change is good o!

The guy see say PHCN has improved and stealing is now corruption.

You complain too much. Should he dump you?

Nice one

Many baseless critisicms.

Most people who are complaining about appointment do not actually have any reason in particular. It's either for their greed or to criticize the govt of being biased as they usually do. If he appoints your tribes man who is not efficient, you will still criticize the govt.

The earlier people get out of bitterness of losing the better for them. After GEJ lost,all his supporters have refused to accept the Victor and his achievements.

We all know in our hearts that PMB is objective and he's all about the progress of this nation.

During the election campaign, GEJists main reason for not wanting GMB was that he can't be clean when many APC members are dirty. Now that they know he doesn't send them, they've resolved to mediocre critisicm.

I'm sure that by the time the president balances the appointments among the geopolitical zones, the wailers will still complain. This time, perhaps about his accent or his choice of cap.

Shior.

OP. I chanced to read this post and You just barbered all the gbagauns out of my brain.

Thanks

zendy:
And who's right is it to form Biafra?

Your right na, why not. Oya form it and back it with constitution.

Just like it's your right to vote for anybody, it's also his right to appoint anybody.

No more no less

So Sue him!

Just like it's your right not to vote for him, it's also his right to choose who he wants to work with.

Nthoi

bankylan:
May God give you mental health that is obviously lacking. What a slave mentality you've got!

Amen!
Thank you jare my slave master.
Mugu!

If PMB likes, he can appoint him mom.
All I care about is capable hands in government.

After all GEJ govt was full of southerners as you claim. Yet all we got was brazen corrupt morons.( One of them is this garrulous FFK).

I'm more concerned about the appointees virtues and not their tribes.

I'm a nationalist that will not support corruption and not a tribalist that won't mind being enslaved just to support his greedy kinsmen.

FORUMgod:
so?

Do you have the 10" pouch?
Just pouch.

So what happened to the teeth?
Where did that gap come from?

For many of us who have had opportunities to become friends or ...you know but have lost the golden chance due to trust issues.
These steps will show you how to have your friends trust you from the very beginning of a friendship. Developing the bonds of trust early in a friendship can be fast or gradual depending on the experiences each of you bring to the friendship. It is definitely worth putting in the effort to create this trust, whatever your prior experiences, and you'll find that you gain an enduring friendship in which each of you can rely upon one another to the ends of the Earth.


1. Be trusting yourself. 
Before you can expect your friends to trust you, you need to show them that you are trustworthy and that you have trust in them. Trust is a risk but when it comes to friendship, you're more likely to make and keep a friend by trusting them than by being a cynic and staying wary all the time. Ways for your friend to establish that youare trustworthy include: Don't renege on promises and appointments when you make them. Provide clear explanations or apologies if something genuine does go wrong to prevent you from coming through with your promise.Show emotion. Showing emotions to a friend is an important and easy way to show them you really care. Being open can result in two things: Either you get hurt because you left yourself open or you are given secrets when friends confide in you. However, it's better to reveal your emotions than to bury them so deep that your friend finds you shallow. Give it a chance.

2. Be kind. 
Kindness is a large part of developing and maintaining trust because in trusting your friends, you are giving them the gift of compassion and support. It is a great kindness to be able to readily show faith in another person and support them even when they don't feel that same level of faith in themselves. It is kindness that cements the growth of trust.

3. Ask questions. 
If you ask a lot of questions of a new friend from the very beginning, they will see it as a sign that you are interested in them and their life. This will indicate to them that you're not someone who only thinks about themselves and your friend will begin to confide in you with their deeper feelings and even their innermost secrets.

4. Be humble. 
Being humble is hard at times but, if you master it, then your friends will not be afraid of you judging them. Being humble is the best approach to reassuring a new friend that you aren't arrogant or condescending. A humble person earns trust because humility is about placing the other person first. In acknowledging that you make mistakes and that you're not all-knowing, your new friends can see that you're an easy person to like and eventually, to trust.

5. Don't tease your new friends. 
While you may consider it just horseplay or funny, they may see it as demeaning and lacking in respect for them. A person you don't know at the start is a person who will eventually want to confide in you. Teasing or making fun of them is not a good idea because a person who constantly makes fun of people is a person who can't really be trusted and may be insecure enough to be condescending toward the friend out of their earshot. If you tease a friend from the start, when that friend is ready to confide in you with something serious, they will pass.

6. Avoid being demanding. 
Friendship is about give and take, not about dumping all of your problems on your friend. Trust can be difficult to establish when one friend demands too much time, comfort, support, or reassurance from the other friend. This can cause your friend to feel hassled out and to be wary of what you're going to dump on them next.Give your friends space. Clingy and needy friends are suffocating and suggestive of a lack of belief in the friendship enduring breaks. Giving each other space is a sign that you trust your friend to still be your friend without having to be breathing down each other's necks constantly. You know your friend will be there when needed, and your friend knows that too.Another reason to avoid being demanding and/or clingy is to lessen the element of fear or worry driving the relationship. A person is less likely to trust if they feel that there is a risk that the needy or clingy person might transfer their loyalty to someone who seems more supportive at the time, and impart confidential information just to win over a new friend.

7. Be non-judgmental. 
Judging your new friend won't help them to trust you. Initially they may find your "advice" helpful but after a while, when your friends realize that you always think you know what's best for them more than they do, they'll be afraid to come to you with anyconfidences. Instead, treat your friends fairly, with respect, and with dignity. Listen to their confidences in a supportive and non-judging way and given them your unconditional support.

8. Talk on the phone. 
Talking on the phone is an excellent way of getting your friend to open up and share new ideas and thoughts with you. The trick is to ask questions, to use your voice to suggest your emotions, and to try to be serious with them. All of these combined will allow your new friend to reveal things they are feeling at the moment. Eventually they'll confide in you and trust that you actually care about them.

9. Share with your friends. 
Being nice is something easy we can all do. Sharing your things, your time, and your dreams with a new friend is an excellent way for them to grow to trust you. Your new friend will think about the whole of your goodness every now and then. You can share candy, money, clothes, your time, your skills, and even your holiday home. It's really up to you.

10. Be Trustworthy. 
I know from personal experience that its not good to tell all secret or something else that its makes your friend not trust you anymore. I also know that it hurts your feelings very much when a secret goes around about you.

It is called "Aro" and not "oro"

Lool.
Touch took it out of my mouth.
It's real Aro

Sunbellar:
You are just a disgrace! You don't know anything about Christianity and the Bible. The old testament is meant for our learning that we shouldn't fall into errors of the old like Moses did! Christianity is Grace revealed through Christ Jesus! Jesus brought life and light to the world.
You Islams are still dwelling in the old testament book of Moses of the law and death. Be careful lest you perish without mercy like your jihadist brothers called Boko Haram!

There you go again hypocrite.
I actually don't need to respond to your comment but it's important to let you know how confused you are about your religion.

So you mean the bible (old testament ) only refers to bad things; Moses and his laws are bad?

Okay.

Sunbellar:
Ironically, it's the Islamabad that practices the aforementioned! Islam is a disgrace practicing the law of moses and death!

You are just a pure definition of hypocrisy.
If you see such verses in the quran, you start giving islam all sort of names yet you pretend like it doesn't exist in the bible.

I've not seen any muslim generalise that all Christians are bad people because some ppl who claim to be christians/pastors do unimaginable things. Yet when you hear Boko Haram you quickly jump into conclusions that it's peculiar to Islam.

You need to ask God for forgiveness. You can't deceive God

Do not quit your job o!

the best you can do is to always support him whenever your salary is paid and as much as possible let him know that you regret his job loss.

With time, he'll soon be under financial pressure and would be needing help. Please always be humble while you assist him.

Also, try and see if you can help him get another job if you can. He'll eventually appreciate you and will be willing to make sacrifices for you too - just like you are willing to do for him right now.

if you quit your job, both of you will end up hating each other.

His bitterness is normal. It's a difficult time for him. But the reality is that: IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. Of course he'll soon realize and apologise.

Hello Mr OP sir,

I think you should be more concerned about the level of corruption in Nigeria.

It's enough that as a first class graduate(as you claim), you still have to travel all around continents to live your dream. That would have been so possible in your father's land if the economy had not been corroded by the bad people in power.

You are leaving an important issues to chase some reporters who get their fame by being controversial.

If you are not looking for cheap publicity, I suggest you channel your energy in the right direction.
