FamilyRe: Take The Pressure Off The Kids: Why Kids Need To Play by Coldfeet(f): 8:21pm On Jul 18, 2014
eleojo23: I would like to paint a scenario to aid what I’m about to talk about.

Olu and David are brothers. David is 6 years old and Olu is a little above 4 years old. The two brothers are calling themselves out to play.
'Olu, let’s go and play with Mike at the backyard.' David calls out to his brother.
'Ok. Let’s build paper aeroplane and fly' Olu replies enthusiastically as he runs towards the back door.
'No, let's build a house with the sand' David suggests
'No, me I will build my aeroplane' Olu insists
'Ok. Fine, we’ll do whatever you want' David replies
They both run out to meet Mike who is waiting for them with a paper kite in his hands.
As they barely get out of the house, Mummy who is doing the dishes in the kitchen calls out
'David, where are you going with Olu?'
'Mummy, we want to play outside' David replies
'Play? Come on, get back inside and read your books' Mummy is already angry at the thought
'But mummy we have finished our homework already' Olu protests
'I said get back inside!' Mummy insists
They both reluctantly get back inside the house.
Mummy thinks to herself
'These kids are too playful. So they have time to play around. How will they pass their exams? I need to enroll them for extra lessons to keep them busy and serious with their studies'

This is what is obtainable today.
Being a child nowadays is definitely different from what it was some 20 to 30 years ago. Kids today are faced with many pressures that rob them of the joys of childhood. The major source of this pressure is the school.
It is not surprising to find a child of barely 2 years old being enrolled in nursery 1(not daycare!). These kids get into school so early and then begin a life of pressures, pressure to perform. Cool as it may seem to tell your friend 'my 2yr old daughter is already in nursery 1'. It is not cool at all.

When I was in primary school, we only spent about six hours in school but nowadays, kids spend up to eight hours in school and may even take extra lessons after school. Then the child comes home with much homework that he must submit the next day. All these rob the child of an essential part of growing up - free time to play. Yeah, you heard me right, play.
Children need to play as it is very important for their development. Play opens doors for creativity among children where they learn to use their power of imagination. It also helps them to develop good social skills because most plays involve other kids and requires group cooperation to make them interesting. Children also learn to take risks and think for themselves as they play.

It is sad that most primary schools today rarely have playgrounds and even if they do, the break time is too short for kids to engage in any meaningful play. And after the normal school hours, they are engaged in extra lessons again.
Ok. Let’s say it's the school's fault. But the parents are not helping either just like in the scenario above. When kids come home on holiday and are supposed to have their time to play, they are enrolled for holiday lessons and so the cycle continues. The child may be doing well at school but he/she is being robbed of an essential part of his/her childhood and it is definitely going to affect him in future.

The irony of this trend is that it does not make the kids of today anymore better than the kids from 20 years ago.


Inasmuch as you want your child to succeed in life, learn to take things in stages and keep the pressures at a distance. Any good and right thinking child would also feel the urge to want to succeed when the time comes.
My neighbour's child who is in primary school plays a lot but he still does very well in school. The boy is very smart. His dad encourages him to use his free time to engage in activities that he enjoys while making sure that he does his homework too. Pushing kids to succeed may be counter-productive. It is not advisable to make a child solve mathematics or do only school work all day long. School has its place and so does play.

Let's give childhood back to the children and let them develop normally. Remember your own time as a kid when you played a lot with your friends (running around the house, playing hide and seek, flying paper kites and building mud houses) and still did well in school. At least I did well and so did most of my friends because we all passed our entrance exam into secondary school and continued to do well.

We can't deny the fact that play is part of childhood. It makes them balanced individuals. If you deprive them of it, they will be missing a crucial part of what makes them children. There are cases of children getting depressed because of being forced to mature too quickly due to pressure and many of them become unbalanced individuals. So, I reiterate, let the kids play!
So very true!! I've made it a point of duty to make sure my kids DON'T attend any summer lessons what's so ever!! Now that there are on school break, school break it must be! This holiday is a perfect time for parents and their kids to bond more but its sad to see so many parents already scouting for one summer lesson or the other to keep their kids engaged like they are some sort of pest that must be kept away? No way! Me I play sotey all my front teeth fall off grin still I'm the success I am today!!! Phew! Its really high time parents realised this! Nice one I must say kudos.

He just sighted an obvious example! Is he wrong? NO! Countless episodes abound around the world to support his claim so just chill.

ekeneobih: I strongly believe that this achievement would have only being possible due to PURE passion for what one believe in... Now my question is Christians what are we really doing here on earth? Am really challenged...Pls lets all return to the old path, that path of rug EVANGELISM. Salvation for all mankind.
Evangelism is still very much in Christiandom! And souls are being won over to Christ everyday!! You may not hear about it in the news or read about it in papers or get a topic created about it here on NL because Christians know the glory is not for mans consumption but for God alone!! The heavenly hosts keeps rejoicing whenever a sinner turns to Christ that's how it ought to be. Remember to do your part in your day to day life by exemplary Christ-like living that's Evangelism too. smiley

FamilyRe: 10 Painfully Obvious Truths Everyone Forgets Too Soon by Coldfeet(f): 1:00pm On Jul 18, 2014
yuzjet: 4. SOME KIND OF FAILURE ALWAYS OCCURS BEFORE SUCCESS.
Most mistakes are unavoidable. Learn to forgive yourself. It’s not a problem to make them. It’s only a problem if you never learn from them. If you’re too afraid of failure, you can’t possibly do what needs to be done to be successful. The solution to this problem is making friends with failure. You want to
know the difference between a master and a beginner?

The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried. Behind every great piece of art is a thousand failed attempts to make it, but these attempts are simply never shown to us.

Bottom line: Just because it’s not happening now, doesn’t mean it never will. Sometimes things have to go very wrong before they can be right.
This number four summarizes my entire life to a great extent! Indeed failures must come before success. Patience and perseverance has kept me thus far.
FamilyRe: My Wife Over Spiritual Orientation Is Driving Me Nuts!!! by Coldfeet(f): 8:36am On Jul 18, 2014
Dygeasy: Bluntly speaking, No advice anyone gives the OP will be sufficient to change his orientation cos for a man to have TRIED to consider cheating on his WIFE for a reason as absurd as what he's stating here, trust me he is just wasting our time.

It's either she changes or he cheats.
Word! As I read his post this was exactly what came to my mind! He may not have done the cheating physically yet! But in his mind he has done a whole lot!!! @ snowpe you and your wife are ONE the moment you both said I DO! See her as an extension of you and take her just the way she is now. Wearing of trousers or making up and all shouldn't be all the package that got you attracted to her in the first place? If this areas are no longer there for you to admire look unto other areas of her beauty and be contented DON'T ask her to choose between satisfying you and serving her God in a way that satisfies her and her God! I pray God gives you the strength and wisdom to flee from temptation and save your marriage.

Foreign AffairsRe: Giant Nigerian Snails Seized And Destroyed At Los Angeles Airport. by Coldfeet(f): 2:58pm On Jul 17, 2014
Giant african land snails A.K.A GALS are considered an economic risk in most western countries as they can breed millions in just a couple of months! The effect it has on the farm crops are one of the reasons these countries prohibit their import. Many whites don't eat them rather they are seen as disease filled pests! Which is true but then we blacks have been eating them since God knows when and nothing mega! grin. Americans have got there own specie of snails that don't multiply like our GALS do but I tell you an African man will not touch it we see those species as poisonous (talk about one mans meat being another's poison undecided). Anyway as it stands no crime was committed so the owner will just have to count his/her loses and forget about ever bringing GALS to the states alive or dead/BBQd. For those unemployed graduates shouting no job GALs farming is VERY lucrative and requires little capital to start if at all any sef! I farm them for consumption I started with the wild ones that is I got them from my village farm these ones are better and produce more than majority of the ones sold in the market which may be second hand snails. Egg shells, fruits and vegetables are some of the foods snails eat. A little trick I was taught on how to get snails in the wild was to place peeled pawpaw skin or pour fruit juice at a clearing where snails may be found come back later and you'd be surprised at the number of snails you'll find there. smiley
