It is unfortunate that even at the lowest level, corruption and moral decadency still thrive.

Saw this on Facebook and decided to share.

I still can't fathom how we got to this point!

What a manner of people! Heard storm destroyed the only floating school at Makoko in Lagos. Went there to do a story on it and highlight the plight of the people. But guess what.

The people asked me to pay to do the story. The Baale's son specifically asked 15k as settlement to do a story that was supposed to call attention to the difficulty of the very poor people of the community.

He convinced the father not to cooperate with us. God help the children of the floating school who have no school again, at least for the moment. I neva see dis kind one before. Madness!

Okay. When it comes to the issue of religion, it is best to understand that it is a personal thing.

This are the type of stories that should go viral, not everyone is fantastically corrupt. #TheTrueNigerianStory

I got wind of it about two weeks ago and I tried it out, made sense and a lot cheaper. I simply added 200 naira worth of fresh tomato to it and a sachet of tomato paste and I made enough stew for the week.

Wait o where exactly is Pastor Tunde Bakare?? At the end it is basically all man for himself.

Ofcourse Banks issue credit card, my first credit card was from Eco bank before I got one from Wema Bank.

You right but most times it is simply Just Grace and nothing else not even the most perfectly drafted CV can guarantee anything. Just Grace

Tell me it is not true, honestly if this letter is as real as it seems then there is hope that not all Nigerians are coward.

I do not agree with a serving Governor writing this but then it is obvious no one else will if not Fayose.

Only time would tell who was right and who got it wrong.

1) Most compounds are noiseless because 'I better pass my neighbour' generators are on sabbatical leave. 2) Wives are happy because husbands who like hanging out are now staying at home with the family because drinks outside are not cold and no fuel to drive out. 3) All the housewives are cooking good food because no more Crunches and Mr Biggs, 4) Kids are reading their books since watching TV needs fuel. 5) No more congestion in network since many peoples phones are off. 6) Browsing & downloading is faster than before cause not much people are online. 7) Everyone sleeps very early now, No more late night movies.. Light no dey naa There are MORE PRAYERS & less distractions lolzz. 9) Parents are over-joyed because their children that were always online now concentrates on their studies 10) Even God himself was very happy when he saw people who haven't gone to church for months and years going to church and staying for both First and second services just to charge their phones...

Now we are talking!

Highly Informative

My dear Jack, I present 60 lessons from my letters to you in 2015. I hope you take them to heart as you enter the new
year. Here they are:


1. It’s not the beauty of a wife that keeps a man from
straying. It is self-discipline.

2. You need discipline before marriage, and you need
discipline after marriage.

3. Pray for a woman who cares about you, who sees your
success as her success and her success as yours.

4. Pray for someone who wants you, who’ll be so identified
with you she’s you. Two people, one life.

5. Love is a friendship of the heart.

6. In a marriage love matters. Affection maters. Attraction
matters. Physical attributes matter. So does character.

7. If you don’t love her don’t marry her. If you’re not
attracted to her leave her alone.

8. If you can’t afford a home of your own it just means
you’re not ready for marriage. Get your own home.

9. A man without a mind of his own is not a man.

10. Learn to take responsibility for the natural
consequences of your action. Be a man!

11. Stubbornness reads humility as humiliation.

12. Learn to sleep over things. Don’t be hasty of action if
the answer is not clear to you.

13. She’s lonely and you’re lonely, hence relationship.
There’s a danger to such matches.

14. Sex is a very powerful impulse, a very strong drive.
Don’t let it drive you, it’s a bad driver.

15. The greatest danger about addiction to porn and
masturbation is that it alienates intimacy.

16. If you want to stop your addiction to masturbation, cut
off the accelerant and oxygen to the flame in your groin –
porn!

17. Pay attention to your wife so she doesn't feel you don’t
really care about her.

18. You can’t approach marriage like you already know.
It’s not accommodating and it’s arrogant.

19. Listen. Acknowledge. Adopt. Adapt. Make time. Make
room. Make friends. Seven matrimonial virtues.

20. Put more resources into your marriage than your
wedding.

21. Don’t marry what you can’t afford.

22. Nothing is as depressive as being locked up for eternity
in a marriage with someone you don’t like.

23. If you want a truly loving and affectionate relationship,
you and your partner must be sincere with each other.
Sincerity is unclothedness.

24. It is important your wife has a sense of security in your
marriage. It’s why you need to keep affirming her, assuring
her of your love.

25. Love needs to be expressed. You express love to build
faith. Faith comes by hearing what is told.

26. If you do lose a good woman, go and beg her; woo her
back, before another comes to take your place.

27. Romance is we. Romance is us. Romance is never me.

28. Balance things in your home. Pay attention to your wife
and kids, or your home may not survive your ambition.

29. It’s important to have an honest relationship with your
child. Sometimes that’s all children want.

30. Don’t allow your mum’s pursuit of the status of
grandma turn your marriage into collateral damage.

31. For a marriage to break from external pressure there
must be fissure within.

32. Loving takes effort. Loving is responsibility. Just try.
That’s all it takes. Try.

33. Whatever you want in marriage you must be ready and
willing to give.

34. When you want to choose a marriage partner, think of
the future not just now. And certainly not just sex.

35. A bad marriage starts with a wrong choice of partner.
And such partners are not necessarily bad people. They
may just be bad for each other.

36. When our friends are in marital trouble what they need
from us is not sermonizing. Just compassion. They’re in
pain!

37. When values are shared, a marriage has a greater
chance of success.

38. A friend is born for adversity. You know your friends
when you’re in trouble.

39. If character can make someone beautiful, a deficiency of
it can make someone patently ugly. Character is beauty.

40. A lonely man is vulnerable. A successful young man is
a target. Don’t let the physical blind you to the obvious.

41. You’ve got to have a primary project every year –
something momentous you’re pursuing for the year.

42. You have to become successful before you become
successful. That’s the lesson from Joseph. Joseph was
successful as a slave.

43. Tolerating in courtship what you can’t accommodate in
marriage is a creative process for pain and anger.

44. These four things are important in marriage: love,
peace, happiness, friendship.

45. If you proceed into a relationship knowing it will bring
you sorrow, why, you’ve decided to crack coconut with your
skull.

46. Manhood is not emotionlessness. It is not a lack of
empathy. A man lacking in empathy is psychopathic.

47. If you’re going to have a shot at marital joy you’ll have
to forbear, and learn to forbear, and choose to forbear.

48. When there’s no money a marriage soon wakes from
fairy tales of love. Love and responsibility are co-travellers.

49. Solomon said time and chance happen to all. That
means your opportunity will come. But will you be ready?

50. It’s not where you start that matters. It’s your
determination to keep going, to keep pushing, on the inside
of you.

51. Whether we acknowledge such or not, your
determination to succeed will impact your girlfriend’s love
for you. Being real!

52. Don’t hate what you desire. Stop hating the successful.
Not every successful person is crooked.

53. As per your wife, if you want to be the man who “hit it
first”, tell me, the women you hit first who’ll marry those?

54. The woman you need is the one who believes in your
future, believes in the potential of your greatness in life.

55. Forget all that stuff about opposites attracting. Are you
a magnet?

56. If you can’t trust someone don’t marry the someone.

57. Men change as they make money, as they rise in life.
Without groundedness, success can wreck a home.

58. Never cross the line of violence in your marriage. Or in
anything for that matter.

59. Every line you cross in life becomes temptation to you.

60. Responsibility defines a man, not virility.

Your mentor, LA

Someone wrote.... Last week, I drove into a fuel station for a refill. My car has a fuel tank capacity of about 60 litres. While the pump attendant filled my tank, a motorcyclist also rode in to the second pump. Before I knew it, the motorcycle was full and the rider rode off while I was still at the pump.I got in before the motorcyclist but he left before me. It suddenly occurred to me that it would be absolutely silly of me to think "I got here before him. How come he is leaving before me?" Why? Our capacity is not the same. The truth is there are times in life when we are stuck at the pump of divinity. Those who came in behind us have gone ahead of us; those who learnt from you seem to have outrun you; those who graduated years after you are now the ones calling the shot and it seems as though you are stuck.Could it just be that your capacity is bigger than theirs? Could it be that your own assignment needs longer preparation? Could it be that your character is being formed for the task ahead?You do not know what you need. Only the One who designed the journey knows what is important. Why don't you hold on? People will often say my mates are doing this..... my mates have done that ..... my mates have this... My mates are now.... But I'm still here doing, having, nothing. It is important to know that you spent nine months of formation in your mother's womb alone and you were given birth to alone even if you're a twin. Therefore never classify anyone as your mate. God's dealings with/in your life is never an estimation of what is happening in the life of your friend or colleagues. God's dealing in your life is VERY PERSONAL and unique and should never be an estimation of physical and tangible things. Age mates are not always MATES and classmates don't always end up in the same CLASS Take your gaze off other people's path and concentrate on the race. You WILL earn your own medal! # copied YOU WILL SUCCEED! Have a refreshing weekend.

Dear Goodluck Jonathan,
Its a heart of regret and repentance that am writing this letter to you. I am very sorry for all the criticism i bevelled on you when you were still live in the rock.
I was made to believe that you were wicked, selfish, arrogant, weak, tyrant, traitor, bully, ignorant, coward etc. I was also made to believe that boko guys were operating bc you were not a military man. You removed Fuel subsidy and people threatened war. You introduced dry season farming and they said it was a waste of money. You saved money in excess crude account they said it was a fraud. You built roads they said you did not use good contractors.
Today, the small up nepa you left for us have disappeared. Fuel na... ehhhh... #200. No road. No food. No money. No peace. No safety. No nothing. Na only change change we dey see.
Abeg na small strength from bread wey i chop yesterday i use dey write this one so i go stop here but i wan ask, abeg no ves oga jona, e get any how wey u fit take come back
Abeg answer me sir.

Sincerely, there are a lot of working singles who would like to settle down and rise a family beside it makes rational sense to do so when you young and agile not d and fragile.

However, the challenge lies within the social-economic situation we find our self in.

The average Nigeria lady within 30 and below believes the world revolves around her feet and would rather prefer mundane things than prepare for marriage, so even if a guy proposes at this stage she is far from ready.

Economically, the fact remains that money makes the world go round, and today's relationship is spiral bonded by money. Ladies want a successful and a handsome guy but economically speaking how many guys within this age bracket meets their requirement .

So today, we have more mature singles and tomorrow we would have much more.

Honestly, who really wants Biafra? I would gladly like to engage anyone who truly wants Biafra basically all I see are people with internet time and data clamouring for what they don't even understand.

Cool

A friend sent this to me ana i decided to share it:

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?

This should be beyond just politics and the governement, ordinally you would expect lot of charity work here, our religious organizations most expecially our reknowed churches with substaintial finance to help out here.

If this is not their calling then what is it?
