I have always wondered among the Russians, Italian and the Chinese mafians which of these is the most dreaded and most dangerous? although watching them in movies, i would say the most dreaded mafians are the russians. they are heartless and have no recourse for whoever they deal with.

Can you imagine? FOOL!!

I actually understand what language barrier could do to someone. i work in the Northern part of Nigeria and my colleagues all speak hausa which i dont and i have not seen any problem there. I believe u only feel concerned over such issues if and only if u feel threatened by them.

Well coming back home,i have made my wife to understand that the relationship she enjoys with my mom is what other gals are hoping and praying for so she should not waste her precious time haggling over a harmless mother in law who constantly prays for us.

I think this advice should go to other gals; in as much as u know ur hubby loves u and caters for his family, please dont feel threatened by the language barrier becos if u do, it will end up severing your marriage irrepairably.

Being a good Dad to me is a herculean task which involves making lots of sacrifices. I never had enough time to know my dad very well because i am from a divided polygamous family. My parents separated when i was young so i was brought by a single mom but nevertheless i am not ready to pass on the absence of fatherhood to my children.

It is possible your Dad didn’t explicitly tell you these things when you became a parent, but he probably demonstrated at least some of them to you in actions if not words when you were growing up.  Please allow me to take the liberty to point them out to you more directly now.  In fact, it is my Dad-O-Matic duty to do so! 

Disclaimer: Though I try to be the best Dad I can, I am guilty of not always remembering and adhering to my own advice, so this post is as much a reminder for me as it may be for you!

5 Tips on Fatherhood Your Dad Never Told You:

1) Listen.  Despite our dominant position of authority as “the parent,” it is NOT always about us.  Stop and LISTEN to your kids once in a while.  I often catch myself taking over the conversation, so I am trying to make a more conscious attempt to let THEM do the talking for a change.  Regardless of the subject matter, if it is important enough for them to want to tell you, it is important enough for us to be interested.  Whether they are telling you about the frog they stepped on, their favorite flavor of chewing gum or describing an elaborate classroom math equation you will never understand, listen and be INTERESTED.  Our kids crave and value our interest in their lives and activities far more than we realize.

2) Share.  Share your adult life with your kids.  Times are tough and we are all working really hard to make ends meet and provide for our families.  If you work a lot and spend a lot of time on your job, share it with your kids.  Tell them what you are doing at work and why.  Tell them what you like about your job and what you don’t.

3) Be Ridiculous.  You can NEVER embarrass yourself in front of your kids.  Anything silly you do will be enjoyed and remembered by your kids.  The sillier the better.  Inhibitions are not an excuse.  If you cower at the thought of Karaoke, you should be proud to sing off key for your kids (and do so often).  If you are a polished fashionable type you should be daring and dress in mismatched rags once in a while to make your kids smile.  Shopping with your kids?  Startle them and talk in complete gibberish to the cashier (and wink knowingly to your kids) as the cashier looks at you as a crazy person and calls for their manager (then, laugh with your kids and of course pay for the goods).  These are some of the moments your kids will remember forever, so as long as nobody can get hurt, if you have a secret urge to be “wild and crazy,” go for it!

4) Teach.  Anything and everything.  Anything you do, if your kids are present, it is an opportunity to teach them.  If you are fixing a light-switch (or engaged in any other household chore) if they come by don’t send them away as if they are a bother because “daddy is busy.”  Instead, take a moment and show them what you are doing.  An annoying chore like fixing a switch can turn into a quick and fun lesson on electricity.

5) Say “I LOVE YOU” – a lot! These three words are invincible.  They are tougher than Teflon or Titanium, stronger than Stainless Steel and more durable than a Diamond.  The words “I LOVE YOU” can never be worn down or overused.  Plus, they are as satisfying and rewarding to say as to hear, and the more you say it, the more you will hear it.  The “L” word is awesome, but don’t just say it, MEAN IT!

What do you think?  What things would you like to add to this list?  Let’s grow this list together in the comments!

My wife was recently put to bed and this has waranted my mom being around to assist with the normal chores around the house. the relationship between my mom and my wife has always been casual and one that every young man prays for.

My mom likes this gal so much. And alas my wife started complaining about my smom peaking Ibo to me and obviously she doesnt understand Ibo.

And honestly the Ibo she speaks is more like asking harmless questions like wat do i want to eat? wen will i eat? she is begining to distance herself from my mom and thereby indirectly and obliviously severing the relationship between herself and my mom. i warned her to be very careful becos if anything happens i will end up being in the middle of the whole scenerio.

Pls help me; do i tell my mom to go and to hire a nanny in her place or is my wife just being selfish? or am i the one with the fault?

Preparing for fatherhood is like getting ready for the big game. You have to understand your offense (abilities), your defense (limitations) and your bench (other resources) . You also have to know your opponent - in this case, your future new baby. OK, so the baby is not really an opponent, at least not until the teenage years, but preparation is still key.

Going out to buy baby furniture, clothes and toys, babyproofing your house, sending off for information about college funds that you'll fail to invest in for the next decade: it's just routine game prep, like sharpening your spikes or stealing the other team's playbook.

Now that we've been fathers for a collective four years, we've noted a few THINGS THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU. Most people offer three simple pieces of advice to prospective fathers:

You're going to love it;

It's a lot of work; and

Your life is going to change.

Others often throw out a mere "you'll see" with a smirk. That smirk is the proverbial secret handshake of the brotherhood of fathers, in which members are sworn not to reveal all the THINGS THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU.

We herewith break that vow. So, for future fathers, here are some of those THINGS THEY DIDN'T TELL YOU

Changing diapers is often a near-death experience[b][/b]. If the sight of an almost inexplicable quantity doesn't drop you to your knees, then the smell will. Disposing of the diaper can pose an added problem. Those devices designed for odor reduction have been known to take off the hand of an untrained dad. A full-body biomechanical suit is recommended attire for this hazardous duty.

Small children can hurt you. Badly. They don't mean too, but they can. The unexpected toy crashing into your shins, the inadvertent sippy cup to the back of the head or the well-placed kick to the crotch has caused many fathers to realize that the little one packs a mean punch.

Your eating habits will change. Pizza, burger and beer will have to wait. You'll learn to eat those things that you've forgotten about - green beans and cantaloupe, for example.

A child between 18 months and three years has more energy than the average cub scout pack. From the time their little feet hit the ground in the morning until they reluctantly hit the sack at night, they create a whole new kind of natural disaster. Picture a tornado touching down after a category five hurricane wipes out what little house was left after a tsunami. That's if you only have one child. The average two-year old can ransack a room in less than 20 minutes.Your kitchen floor will never be clean again. Food will show up in the strangest forms in the strangest places you can possibly imagine. Expect to dig food items from between your toes at least once a week. And remember, if the kid finds something on the floor and eats it before you can intervene, it's protein.

Putting in a car seat requires a master's degree in engineering. Buckles, bolts and straps that would confound Houdini. Solution? Let your wife handle this one. She has more patience and will at least read the directions.

Children imitate what fathers do and say, and then repeat them at any given time or place. Enough said.

Regardless of some of the things that fathers didn't know before the little tyke arrives, there is nothing that compares to the joy that children can bring to fatherhood. Looking into your child's eyes as you lay her down for bed at night and feeling the love and affection makes all the dirty diapers in the world tolerable - well, perhaps not the one with corn and collards. We won't be making that mistake again.

Dude you have been duped or currently being fooled!! u should be racing not strolling away from that relationship u think u are having.

Do i have anything to worry about if my fiancee earns more than me? she works with an oil company. although she has not shown any sign of arrogance.

In as much as it true that these banks are all in trouble, who told you erastus akingbola has resigned? i refuse to believe that part of your story.

A 200 level student of Delta State University, Mr Ndubisi Mowete, has committed suicide after stabbing his girlfriend, Vivian Obioma, to death over minor disagreement.
Ndubisi, a Business Education student of the University, Agbor Campus, was said to have been enraged upon discovering that his lover, Vivian, an indigene of Ogwashi-Uku, in Aniocha Local Government area of Delta State, was allegedly dating another student within the campus.
Eye-witness account revealed that both lovers had always engaged in series of argument which often led to fisticuffs, on issues bordering on allegation of infidelity.
Vivian, who was a 100 level student of the Education Department was squatting with Ndubuisi in a one room apartment, an off campus accommodation located at Ehiwarioh Street, Alihami, in Agbor.
The 21-year-old Ndubuisi, who hails from the Eastern part of the country, was alleged to have also contributed to Vivian's financial up keep during their stay in school.
An eye-witness stated that the landlord of the house, who lives a few blocks away from their apartment and had in the past settled matters for both parties became suspicious when he did not see either of them for some days.
This led him to know that the door leading to the studentís room was locked from inside, and he alerted the police.
He said when the police forced the door open; the lifeless body of Ndubisi, dangling on the hock of the ceiling fan with a rope tied round his neck was discovered, while Vivian's naked lifeless body was lying on the floor with several knife stabs on the stomach and tight.

could this be love people are so so funny.

Tu fia!!!!

I have this list of people in service-type positions who are obligated to flirt with their customers in order to provide good service. Here is the list: waiters, flight attendants, doctors, people selling magazine subscriptions. A gal friend after opening up a new savings account with a bank, she had the cutest banker helping her , he was probably about 27 0r 28 and a good dresser.

he got her phone number from the account opening form,(she obviously didnt give him) called her and the next thing he was asking for was a date and for her to spend time with him over the weekend. From her experience with bankers, she had at several times experinced this. she then asked me "why do bankers have to do this everytime they meet gals".

Therefore, I have decided that bankers need to be added to the list.

Gbam!!!

Bankers have been known to be very stingy.

whats your view?

@dadahgirl

True but bankers have a way with girls. i believe gals easily fall for them because they are always looking good in their nice and expensive suits and most these bankers are fine boys though.

Everytime a gal approaches the counter, these so called bankers always ask for numbers. if u ask me they are easily liked because of their charm.

I have  been wondering which of these three male professionals is more flirtatious: a banker, a medical doctor and military man.

if u will ask me i will say a banker is more of a flirt.

what do u guys think?

sweet text na!! abi wetin sweet pass sweet text ok just kidding

"i love u"[font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] is sweetest

the most sensational kiss is the one done on the ehn u know now, must i say it?

Gbam!!!

i still cant believe i am getting the jitters about finally getting married.

Although i gat no choice but i dont know if i am really ready for it.

Is this right?

@poster

Thats not fair enough for a bank that's trying to do away with the stigma of the legacy banks inherited.

well give it to them they deserve it.

Unity Bank plc aims to be top five banks in five years. The bank has one of the best and most sophisticated banking software. Although they have their bad times but from a reliable source the bank is presently undergoing massive restructuring.

what do u guys think?

Is this achievable for the bank?
