HealthRe: Body Builders by Columbine(m): 10:33am On Sep 18, 2020
well, am kind of slim but not too slim that'll Rob me of my confidence.

I do push-ups every morning, 30, 25, 20 though I started with 7 grin my initial purpose wasn't even to add more weight, but since am always too busy to engage in sporting activities, I decided to supplement it with push-ups, and I like the results am getting; wider chest, prominent biceps and triceps.

You can give it a try, at least within 3weeks the result will be prominent, eat more of protein, though na wetin I see I dey chop.
HealthRe: Stammerers, How Do You Cope Speaking In Public, Expecially With The Opposite Sex by Columbine(op): 10:20am On Sep 18, 2020
DICKstractor:
I only stammer when I'm angry. I try everything possible to avoid such circumstance. I walkway from a fight

Sometimes I regret walking away but on the long run, I knew I made the right decision

I value my peace of mind
what about speaking in public, either with a stranger, crowd or opposite sex, because I know people tend to stammer more when they're also nervous, anxious or excited.
HealthStammerers, How Do You Cope Speaking In Public, Expecially With The Opposite Sex by Columbine(op): 8:43am On Sep 18, 2020
Recent surveys shows that stammering can have a significant impact on a person's career, social life and mental and emotional well-being. Most people who claim to be introverts are just afraid of the perceived embarrassment as a result of their stuttering, therefore you see them talk loudly not minding whether the stammer or not in the midst of their friends but become suddenly withdrawn in public. Sometimes they find it difficult relating with the opposite sex, due to the nervousness and anxiety associated with it, which increases their chances of stammering the more, which makes them feel embarrassed. Therefore, in other to find solace they conclude by claiming to be introverts instead of seeking ways to improve their social and communication skills, I also believe that there are introverts too, who are naturally quiet and have no problem relating with the public, but just that they choose not to.

So I wanna ask, as a stammerer how do you cope relating with the public expecially with the opposite sex, how do you get over it?

most people who die of the disease are peeps who become aware of their status, those who aren't aware look healthy until the latter stages.

There's what we call mental health, if you can fight off the fear and negative mindset you'll live a normal life and you can do that by not isolating yourself, stop condemning yourself, be social! go online and read up about HIV+ people living life to the fullest and draw motivation from them.

The battle is in your mind, change your mindset! don't ever think of retaliating, you'll end up hurting yourself the more.

Remember, don't isolate yourself, don't give the devil an opportunity!

you get it. FG is not ready to listen again . NARD was threatened with no work no pay and strike was called off.
Johesu should expect nothing from this strike. only mou is sure.
FG may give them a listening ear, remember NARD is just a branch of NMA while JOHESU encompasses all paramedics. Sometimes I wonder the basis for their allowance, whether is based on yr of study or risks involved in the profession. It has lingered for long and I don't see an end to it. They should stop meeting with FG rather they should meet themselves and define their roles and all this supremacy battle

You're very right.

Prayer makes you feel that's there's hope no matter the situation.

However, if you were requesting for something through prayer, I still feel it's a waste of time because you'll not get it.
I don't really agree, I've received things I prayed for when I less expected them and definitely I've also not received somethings I've prayed for.

Their are things involved in prayer; faith, works, circumstances and the rest of them but the truth is most people pray for praying sake without believing. Faith has always been a challenge to believers, even though it was reduced to as little as a mustard seed

I agree with the OP's point except No. 7.

Prayer does not change anything.

Just do the first 6 and you're safe.

My opinion tho.
prayer helps, it changes your mood

Christianity EtcAvoiding "One Thing Led To Another" by Columbine(op): 11:10am On Sep 13, 2020
When someone confesses or is caught in an affair one of the first things they say is, "one thing led to another", "I didn't mean to" or "It was the devil"

Most people don't set out to cheat. It all starts small. It begins with a thought that goes uncontested, nurtured to fantasy and clouds our sense of right and wrong.

This is difficult for most men. Our DNA is preloaded with the strong instinct to feel attraction and desire, yet life and morality demand that we are able to control those instincts.

For the sake of our marriages, relationships, or just spiritual well-being, we need to be able to find the answer. As far as sex is concerned, the more one enjoys it, the more intense a burning desire will arise. The thirst increases due to enjoyment. These few steps can help one be in charge of one's self control;

1. AVOID TEMPTING SITUATIONS.
The last thing you want to do is find yourself alone with the object of your unhealthy desires, whether images or actual people.

2. AVOID PORNOGRAPHY.
Avoiding porn will help guard against lust. porn creates unrealistic expectations and fantasies which field our sexual desires in a bid to fulfill those desires.

3. USE SOCIAL MEDIA WITH CAUTION.
There are many benefits of social media, but there are just as many pitfalls. We are reunited with people from our past and introduced to those who are new. Old Sparks can be renewed or new ones can be lit. Always remain alert to true intentions when using social media.

4. CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY.
When battling sexual temptation, there are plenty of people we can find that will encourage and enable it. You can still be their friends. Avoid friends who only talk about sex and more sex.

5. KEEP HIGH STANDARDS.
To be a gentleman is a choice. A very good choice, and this world today needs many more. Despite the vast amount of of temptations that life throws our way, we should hold ourselves to the highest of moral standards.

6. REDIRECT YOUR PASSION.
Rather than being controlled by untamed lust, direct that passion in positive directions. Use that energy to brainstorm about ways you can use to improve on yourself or others.

CONSIDER THE CONSEQUENCES.
While pondering the object of your desire, also ponder the consequences of actions. Always think about the end game; soul ties, spiritual manipulations, STIs etc.

7. PRAY CONSISTENTLY.
Prayer is the act of communicating your thoughts, worries, hopes and dreams to God. Lift up the desires you are feeling and ask God for help. God made you and knows you and can deliver you time and time again.

CareerWhat Was Your First Step To Your "IT Dream" by Columbine(op): 3:10pm On Sep 07, 2020
Hey guys, am currently a paramedical finalist and we all know that being a salary earner here in Nigeria can make one comfortable (if things wouldn't get even more worse) but not as rich as one would love to be.

Emphasis have always been made on the need for skill acquisition, which majority have always advocated for an IT skill (not disregarding others).

I really want to know the first step you took in becoming an IT professional;

Did you start with your mobile phone or system or both?

Did you attend a physical class by way of an IT institution/class or a friend with pro knowledged or you where self-taught through books, videos, online or both?

How stressful or time consuming is it to become one's side hustle, taking note of one's profession?

Which IT skill can you recommend for one looking for a second source of income and what on a normal would be the minimum duration to be able to know "one or two" on a specified IT course/training?

ok!
I have friends who I think may be way older who came for 2nd degree in either medicine or some para-medicals courses. you're on the right track don't put yourself under unnecessary pressure, you're a man, that's an advantage. There are men who are above 30 with no direction yet, which I blame the country's economy, but for you in the next 5yrs you'll be better off than you are now.

poshestmina:
Emotional scar.
Growing up in a violent and bitter atmosphere.

Parents always at each other's neck ,new day,new wahala.
I remember days my dad chased us out with cutlass,locked us out, threatened to burn my senior siblings certificates, starved us ,beat up my mom right before us. cry cry cry and she didn't want to leave because of us and zero finances.

The only escape route was getting admission and leaving the house .I barely visited home all through my school days and my family house was less than 500 naira to and fro.

Left for service and never looked back (on very FEW occasions) till it was time for me to marry.

I'd rather raise happy kids as a single mother than having my kids(s) go through the hell I came from.
He's old now and we take care of both of them .
But no LOVE whatsoever! .
Just paying him back for at least sponsoring our education .
Nothing more! sad sad
hope you don't have a general hate (stereotype) on men due to your experiences as not to affect your relationships and the way you'll raise your kids

twosquare:
The gifts of tongues can be dormant in a way if you do not exercise it often. I won't use the word "forget" because it is already yours, but you can "neglect" it. Paul told Timothy, "Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands." (1 Timothy 1:6).

Another version says: This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

So, it depends on you to exercise spiritual tongues so that it won't lie dormant. The more you exercise it, the more it expands.

*Yes, I can assure you that tongues change with spiritual growth. Some can only babble like a baby (two words), and some speak tongues like men (long sentences)--a chain of tongues. The more you grow spiritually, being build up with revelation (understanding) and wisdom, the more your tongue will change with time, and as you exercise it, it will start changing/upgrading. Anyone who is still in the babbling stage should beg God to change his or her tongue.

Paul, as a man, spoke in tongues more than the whole Corinthians church, that should tell you that man himself is a tongue (1 Corinthians 14:18). He is deep.

With time, some can break into angelic tongues, and I have heard it before, and it wasn't pre-planned. He just caught wind of an angelic conversation. Immediately, I knew in my spirit this is angelic and different, but I waited, until those who have more spiritual age than I confirmed it while replying to the tongues the man spoke.


*It takes faith sometimes to just speak in tongues without being in the atmosphere of prayer because you are not used to it. It might be due to what you have been told. The atmosphere gets charged with Spirit because you are praying and more in tune and relaxed. You just need to free yourself. I mean don't be stiff. One secret is that when you feed more on the Word and it is like you just want more, it should be easy for you to break into tongues effortlessly without praying, and it will become part of you.
ok, daalu

does tongues change as one grows spiritually?

I speak in tongues when the atmosphere is
charged, but on a normal, I find it difficult therefore praying becomes difficult, can you explain this?

RomanceRe: I Have A Boyfriend But I'm Falling In Love With Someone Else. by Columbine(m): 10:09pm On Jun 08, 2020
Happy989:
I started dating my boyfriend months ago and even before we started dating we've been good friends. He is intelligent, funny, has a great personality and takes good care of me. When he asked me to be his girlfriend I was so happy, because he is such a great guy. My boyfriend is in his final year in the same university that I attend. I'm still in my second year.

There is this guy in my department who is very good looking and also intelligent. He isn't jovial and extroverted like my boyfriend, but he is cool in a very confident and attractive kind of way. We started talking recently and he told me he finds me attractive. I told him that I have a boyfriend and he didn't seem fazed and never talked about the subject of my relationship. He still complimented my body and looks from time to time even though I didn't respond to his compliments in a way that indicated that I was in support of his actions.

During this covid-19 break we began talking more often over the phone and through texts and I always found our conversations interesting. A lot of times we'd talk till midnight. He is very witty and creative with words and I always smile whenever I see his texts or receive his calls.

Few weeks ago we talked about sexual fetishes and I realized we both had similar fetishes. This made him even more interesting because I found myself able to talk about stuff I hadn't talked about with anyone before, not even my boyfriend. This guy is not like anyone I've ever met before. His views on life are very unique and original and his personality is so complex and his sexuality is very intriguing.

The problem now is that I am beginning to develop strong feelings for this guy. When he calls me on the phone I don't wish the call to end. I find myself talking to him for minutes not minding the time. He is beginning to occupy my thoughts a lot and I don't know what to do. I still love my boyfriend but there is something about this guy that just seems to draw me to him.

I don't want to do anything that will break my boyfriend's heart.
fake story, am very sure of that
