Why MTN can't either be proactive or effectively reactive? It took a significant long time to resolve the glitch and restore service.

Politicians are largely one of the factors responsible for our retrogression as a nation. Always looking after their self interests. Meanwhile, Bello and Ododo would either be dragged into an infamous political feud or remain united at the detriment of the good people of Kogi State as witnessed in Kwara State when AbdulFatai Ahmed took over from his political godfather, Bukola Saraki.

It will be well with you Sir

It was down in my area here in FHA Estate, Lugbe, Abuja between 13:00hrs and 16:00 hrs. However, it has been restored now.

Will he travel with my kids in the first place? What the fuss all about?

Agbàkán 😭 💔

It will be better

emkz:
As I suggested some weeks ago, some ministers have no business in the cabinet:



To add to that list, Dr Doris Uzooka Anite needs to be shown the door for lacking experience in signing that MOU with Kemi Badenoch for UK lawyers to practice in Nigeria and celebrating it before she was heavily resisted.

Also to go is the Minister of Transportation. No one knows his name.

We don't hear much from the Minister of Water Resources and whoever is the Minister of Environment.

The ministry of youth needs to be shut down. The relevance of that ministry is not clear.

Tunji Alausa needs to leave the Ministry of Health and take charge of Humanitarian Affairs.

The president also needs to carefully examine the young ministers. Many of them need to go as they lack experience to head ministries.

El Rufai needs to be brought in to fully head the petroleum ministry. We need a well known mad person in that ministry. Merge it with power and call it ministry of energy resources.

Mad person ké?🤣

Safe journey Mr President.

Na the real swallow be this...

Na to swallow am in one lump Abi gulp then use water fill the remaining space.

That's the real restructuring!

Haba!

Only God knows what can please human beings. No matter how outdated the Orosanye's report might be, it would significantly reduce the cost of governance, if implemented.

This lady must be kidding, 90% ké?

This lady must be kidding, 90% ké?

Unity of purpose/action is apparently missing.

Vested interest...

How would the number 3rd citizen of the nation be talking gibberish in the first place?

“Any judgment given at this level can only be upturned in heaven.”

God will help them to be fair, just and equitable as they discharge their statutory responsibilities.

All we ask for is well-being, security, good governance and prosperity.

What the heck! This is one of the tribulations of this tragic time.

1. Set clear expectations: In this part of the world, when you hear the word discipline, what comes to your mind is punishment, sternness, in fact, you start picturing a bílálà in your mind. Meanwhile, discipline is supposed to be training someone to follow a certain code of conduct or behavior. While punishment can be a part of the process, the first step to discipline is teaching.

This we learnt from Allah and His messenger. The first thing is to tell us what to do, give us reasons to want to do it, because this results in intrinsic motivation. Then finally, he gives the rules, the reward for the doers and the punishment for the disobedient.

Example of Salah: Allah said in different place...

"Verily the prayer at fixed times has been enjoined upon the believers" 4:103

Verily, As-Salat (the prayer) prevents from Al-Fahsha' (i.e. great sins of every kind, unlawful sexual intercourse, etc.) and Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism, and every kind of evil wicked deed, etc.) 29:45

What has landed you in Hell?” They will reply, “We were not of those who prayed. 74:42-43

And many other examples of how Allah teaches us.

Let us visit the prophets household and learn about discipline too.

Umar bin Abu Salamah (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
I was a boy under the care of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and as my hand used to wander around in the dish, he (ﷺ) said to me once, "Mention Allah's Name (i.e., say Bismillah), eat with your right hand, and eat from what is in front of you."

In another hadith

“Tell your children to pray when they are seven years old and smack them (lightly) if they do not pray when they are ten, and separate them in their beds.”

Did you notice how we should keep telling them, admonishing them, reminding them, for good three years, before the smack came in? He didn't leave us to guess what pleases or what angers Him, he clearly told us in His book and in the tongue of His prophet.

2. Model compliance: Don't be a parent that sets rules only for the children but is free to engage in all the misbehaviours. Look at the prophet sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, he was a worthy model to his companion. Always doing more than them in 'ibaadaat and always avoiding sins more. Same with Khalīfatu rasūlillahi Abubakr. None of his subjects could ever surpass Jim in goodness, not even Umar with all his efforts. Radhiyallahu anhum ajma'een. Their subjects didn't see them as hypocrites requesting from them the impossible.

3. Communicate rewards and punishment: This is also clear in the Quran and ahadith. No need to guess. We all know that the reward for good is goodness. And the reward for evil is evil, in different levels. Punishment in this world,in the grave and the hereafter.

4. Praise/Reward compliance: Don't be a parent that only complains when a child does something wrong but never shows approval or acknowledgement when they do well. That kind of child will think he's good for nothing. Let there be a balance.

5. Punish for defiance. Don't be a parent that overlooks your children's misdeeds. Let them know that there's a consequence to face when you don't comply with rules. It helps kids discipline themselves. Don't let us be like the oyinbos, they are facing huge consequences for their permissiveness.

Let's see this Hadith:
“Hang your whip where the members of the household can see it, for that will discipline them.”

Do we also remember the Hadith of Umar? "Jibreel said...And tell me about its signs and the prophet replied when a slave will give birth to his master..." It's unfortunate that this Hadith is coming to pass in our own generation. The kind of power many parents give to kids these days, will leave you wondering if the children are actually the parents. They dish instructions and the parents obey. Or the parents consult them before taking all decisions. The more reason we have so many entitled and easily frustrated children. They were not prepared for the real world. They suddenly realize that the world is not their mother and the next thing-suicide.

6. Pray: Only Allah can grant us success in upbringing our children, our efforts alone can't do it. People that were more righteous and more intentional were tested with defiant children, may Allah save us from such. You will find some of the prayers of prophet Ibrahim for good children in these verses of the Quran.

WabiLlahit-tawfeeq!

Take it or leave it, Lagos is truly a pace setter in the scheme of things in Nigeria. Meanwhile, with the rate of Yahoo Plus in Edo State, I think the state should be one of the top 10 in Nigeria.

Nothing spoil. Anything that would make Nigeria better is welcome by me.

Spot on.

AntiChristian:
The worst decision anyone could make is to leave God the creator of the earth and start worshiping the created Jesus.

One of the worst beliefs is to acknowledge God as having son and 24 elders to help Him in the dominion of heaven, earth and all that exists!

One of the most absurd creed is to believe God is not able to save man without turning himself to man and entering into the womb of his creation to later come through the vaginal canal and be born as a baby...

One of the dumbest lie created by man and not found in the Bible is that "Jesus is God".

Lastly, the same decision you made that changed your life may not necessarily change the life of others!

In fact, one's parents are expected to be on first line of the beneficiaries if they're in need as well as others in need. Charity truly begins at home.

They should have calmed down because Man United no be Ivory Coast nah

Compliance is sacrosanct

What a nasty and childish tribute! 😡

EhisChelsea1:
Yes, he is from Esan too. Congratulations Monday Okphebholo, the next governor of Edo State

Oh my goodness! That's horrifying

Good night Aketi.
