FamilyParents Has Lost It In Parenting; Which Way Forward? by blessedly(op): 6:08am On Oct 19, 2015
I thought I should share this
As I waited in the departure lounge of a local airport, I noticed there were many children about but it was understandable since it was summer holiday. One other thing I noticed was the way most of the children were dressed. Most of them, especially the girls, were dressed in bum shorts, halter necks, cut off jeans, etc. The clothes in themselves weren't the issue per se; it was the overall look of the children that had me bothered. That was definitely not the first time I noticed it. A few months before, I had taken my kids to a birthday party and found myself in what could easily have been a night club for kids. Scanty clothing such as tight or very short clothes, bum shorts, long weaves, etc, seemed to be the dress code. I noticed my daughter glancing around her, probably wondering, "What in God's world are these other children wearing?" Or something like that. Not long after, the kids were called out to dance to the hit songs of the season - these songs in my opinion should be rated PG 13. 4-6 year olds trooped to the dance floor, miming the sexually explicit songs and gyrating their bodies in the most sensual manner. They could have given Beyonce a run for her money. They ran their hands over their bodies, shook their booties hard while their parents cheered them on. The boys had their upper shirts unbuttoned and rapped along perfectly to gangsta raps while doing flawless break dance. Those who danced like actual children where shooed off the dance floor while the lewd ones were cheered on. As I watched, my child stared out of this circle looking longingly at the others dancing. I knew it was time to leave. As we left, we went to a eatery where I bought them ice cream and gently explained to them the concept of decency and dancing with decorum. Another time, at a game arcade for kids, I ran into a lady who had made-up her kids' faces like they were mannequins for Tara or Mac beauty products. Their skirts were so tight, that running up and down the slide was uncomfortable for them. So the question is, why are we sexualizing our kids? Why does your 4, 6 or 9 year old girl have to look like a chick? Why does she have to be hot or sexy? Should your 8 year old son go around with a comb in his hair and his pants sagged almost to his ankles? If your child wears bum shorts out of the house at age 3, why should she be expected to wear longer ones at 15? If she wears 2 rings and 12 bangles at 6, why won't she pierce a second ear hole at 17 and her bellybutton at 19? Why won't your son pierce his own ear at 15? Are you setting your children up to be immodest and indecent? What trend are you starting them on? That all these are fashionable or trendy doesn't mean it's ok. Some parents even dress their children like this to church. Church! What are you teaching the child? What happened to children wearing dresses to church? Children can look very nice and decent, they can be well covered and still look good. In this age, when children are being abused, is it wise to make your child an object of anyone's sexual attention? When I hear some children belt out sexually explicit lyrics, I ask myself how they became exposed to this songs! As a parent, you can't play the CD of such songs and not expect your children to pick them up; the same goes for watching Mtv Base, Channel O, etc with your children. Studies have shown that children exposed to a high level of sexually explicit information tend to become sexually active early. Is that your goal as a parent? Being a Parent involves sacrifice. You will need to avoid listening to such music where your children are. Most of those lyrics demean women and teach your daughter that she's just a intimacy gadget and her body is for squeezing. It teaches the boys that money is everything and women are things to be used to satisfy their primal urges. These music introduces them to a degrading pop culture. Our children have their lives ahead of them, let's set them on the right path by teaching them to dress decently and sing nice or age-appropriate songs. Let your children be children. Train up a child in the way that s/he should go and when s/he is old, s/he would not depart from it. Do you agree that children are unnecessarily exposed to sexually explicit elements? Is it possible that some parents are victims themselves or is it that they don't know any better?

Logician:
There are more to this story. he tried to steal the human body 2 hours after they buried the deceased people are usually buried during the day and its difficult to comprehend why someone would go stealing a corpse in the day time, just barely 2hrs after. They should tell us what really transpired.
I wish there can be an answer. I'm very sure that some family members, friends, and the affected still hangs on even 24hrs after a corpse is buried... fake news everywhere

Christianity EtcRe: Is Self Servicing A "SIN" For A Couple Whose Partner Is Hardly Around? by blessedly(f): 10:55pm On Sep 05, 2015
one true facts that I know about masturbation is that it can desensitize it's victims especially when addicted. the urge to always do it for oneself might be inevitable hence creating insatisfaction from the partner. I don't know what makes it a sin. it is far better than fornication/adultery. come to think of it; if your partner romanced you deeply and you got your fun and in the absence of your partner, you did it for yourself and still get satisfied.... what's the difference?

RomanceRe: 8 Places Where Men Can Get A Wife Material In Nigeria. by blessedly(f): 10:01am On Aug 25, 2015
ronald4lif:
I'm trying to figure out how ladies found in these places are different from the ones found in other venues. The lady you might see in buka or mama put might not be able to afford top restaurants so she settles for the cheaper meal. I can't address the points one after the other but any lady can be found in these places on almost an even scale. Even the Jezebel.

The idea that a homely lady is someone who doesn't revel in a particular act or visit certain places is more holier and wife-able than others is obsolete and has no bearing. If anyone still harbours the mentality that a lady who attends church programs almost everyday of the week is better than the ones who hardly does they should dismiss it. That lady you see in the church everyday could be deadlier than the one who parties and clubs weekends.
God bless you for this; you saved me the stress of writing.

guy... happy Sunday
me.... wish you same. hope you went to the church?
guy.... no. did you?
me... yes I did.
guy.... how was the service?
me.... fine
guy.... how about your pastor?
me.... fine.
guy .... are you home now?, where are you? have you eaten?
me.... yes, home, yes...
guy .... OK
guy... what are you doing now?
me.... chatting
guy.... with who? what are you wearing?
for heaven sake! does it look like this guy has any good to write? do you think I might want to reply his hello when next?
I was chatting with another guy and I demanded for his pix since there was non on his dp and I don't know him. he sent me a dick and quickly said it was a mistake. some guys can be annoying shaa.
