Happy birthday Jona

Good one Sen. Ben Bruce. I only wish that you extend your job creating venture to your home state. It is so sad that Bayelsa state does not have any cinema nor entertainment center. I'm sure the residents there will appreciate it. Just saying tho.... Congrats to all those who got the jobs.

Very good concept. I am only concerned as to how it will last with all the packing. Really hope it isn't laced with preservatives. Good job tho. Keep the flag flying!

I hope this proves to all the guys who think girls are after their money, that not all girls are the same. However few, there are still good guys and girls with values and principles to uphold.

The girl also has a good sense of humor and is very reasonable. She managed to end it jokingly in spite of how annoying the guy was.

Even tho we don't know the truth, I sometimes feel for these sales boys and girls. They work in cool places with very little pay.
This reminds me of an experience I had with one of them last year.

I saw a dress and wanted to buy but didn't have the cash immediately. I asked if she could keep it till the following day which she accepted after confirming from her boss on phone. I also told her that I will pay 2k less than the amount she mentioned for the dress. I told her to inform her boss.

I picked up the dress the next day and she asked me to 'add something'. I refused but she said her boss won't be happy. I simply dropped my num and asked her to call me if any issues come up. Indeed, the next day, she called that the boss threatened to deduct it from her salary.

I was uncomfortable with her losing money on my account. I told her not to worry, that if the boss refused the amount I had paid for the dress, I will gladly return the dress than put her in trouble. After a while, she called to say the boss finally agreed. She let me have the dress and didn't deduct her salary.

Immediately I read this story, I remembered that incident. The girl would have cursed me out if I didn't handle the issue properly. Sometimes, the way we approach issues can make a lot of difference.

For me, no special feeling! Sometimes it can be lonely, other times, you can be grateful for such rare priviledge. In all, it depends on how the parents brings them up

Really? Tell me something

There is no hard or fast rule to it. It all depends on how we see it as individuals. Some people will keep pictures as a way of remembering the deceased and having them close while others will take down the pictures because they might just want to forget and move on without a constant reminder of their loss.

A man I know lost his wife and son within a period of two years. Their pictures still remained for a while until one day, he summoned courage to put them away. Another woman rearranged her house immediately after her husband's burial, it was obvious that certain things brought painful memories.

We all deal with grief differently but I will say, just do what works for you and at a convenient pace.

I have always had this same question on my mind. E.g The fasting for RCCG is for 40 days. Does it mean they will stay apart for 40days? Or can they come together after breaking the fast each day?

Lol....... Counter thread. True though

January 2nd? Really? Thought it usually started in February. Thanks anyway. Was looking froward to this

My dear, I have always wondered ooo. I even had this conversation with my mum and brother about 2 days ago. The way some tradition demand for things is absurd but I think something should be paid to the girls parents because she is leaving her family to start another. Moderation and contentment is the key.

The one that pains me most is when the person replies

You don wake?

I just feel like fainting. Obviously, a person still sleeping cannot greet. If its an older person, I just don't reply. If the age difference isn't that much, I answer sarcastically.

It is not just the mothers. Society puts pressure on ladies too. After service, you will hear'what next'. May God bless you with a good husband.., Are you not thinking of marriage, e.t.c. Ladies have started to feel life the next thing after service is a man, with or without a job to themselves. Its pathetic. The pressure is crazy

This kind of thing happened to my friend sometime last year or 2years ago at the sane trans amadi. He put the money in a bag and did not realise that the money had vanished into thin air. Tho they didnt replace it with papers, I really felt for him cos it was difficult for people to believe him.

Thankfully, he got a job that month and started using his salary to offset the debt gradually. It may never happen to you but it is a really horrible experience.

I think its more of a cultural thing. In some cultures, singles or unmarried mothers cannot tie two wrappers. They think its for married women. As for me though unmarried, I wear what I feel comfortable in and even after marriage, I don't think I will change. My mum usually teases me and says that if I had my way, I would wear jeans for my traditional marriage.

@cococandy, no mind them. Whoever gets upset over this kind of issue can even do worse.

Until you have a little daughter, sisterestatee or even a little girl you know that is molested, that's when you will feel the anger that led them to cut off his genitals.

Just yesterday at about this time in my estate, a man who is in his 30's was been flogged and punished for coming to molest his friend's 10 year old daughter whenever her dad wasn't around. The younger bro who had seen enough went and reported the issue to another adult.

I was so angry that if I was given a knife, I would have cut his pe.n.is off without hesitation. I later heard the man has a wife and four children.

So I don't really blame them. If it ever grows again, he will disappear at the sight of any female specie.

@op, this topic is so on point. I have always supported this. By God's grace, my daughters will learn to wash cars, change tyre and do boyish things. My son will also sweep, wash and cook.

All this knowledge will definitely come in handy later in life. It irritates me when guys look for girlfriends just for the purpose of doing domestic chores. Girls should also learn to change bulbs start generators e.t.c

So sorry. Its unfortunate but I know someone who works with her and I am surprised at this cake. I have seen a lot of her jobs and I know that she can do better than this.

No one is above mistake but out attitude towards it matters a lot. She should have at least apologized and shown some remorse. This kind of thing can be so painful especially when you cannot undo what has been done. I guess we should all be careful.

So people can pay so much to attend these quack schools? I just wonder what the fate of graduated of such schools will be

This same thing happened to me on Sunday. It was a can of Amstel Malta drink. It was distributed to everyone in church and I gladly took mine home to flex after lunch. When I started drinking it, it was fine but the moment I was about drinking the last part of it, I threw it out immediately. My dress, the whole table and floor was a mess. I later poured out the contents, lo and behold, it looked like congealed poop. I was so shaken that day. I resolved to always pour out contents of any canned drink or food into a clear container before drinking it. If I am in a public place, I would rather leave it or take it home. Lesson learnt the hard way.

Before I read comments, let me share my own experience. The guy in question had graduated before me but was kinda reluctant to do any other thing since the job wasn't forthcoming. I even encouraged him to try his hands on teaching which is something he loves but he was just dulling. I know its hard to geta job but the guy was sounding like he was waiting for a job to land on his laps. Do this, no. Do that, another excuse. In no time, we went our different ways. A friend of mine will say, Ginger na 10 marks...

For we corpers in lagos state, clearance is any working day between 1st and 7th of every month. So we stroll in on any day that is convienient 4 us within d period. It varies in oda states tho..

The church dat went to rent a place there after discovering a churc already existed there are d ones i blame. I still stand on my word dat God is no longer in d business of calling pple to open churches anymore.

Whoever does so, does it out of greed. In today's world, there is nothing u bliv in dat an existing church does not bliv in too. Y not join dem n use ur God given talent to his glory there? But no, d longing to be d head has pushed lots of pple astray!

Why do i feel dat smtin in dis in dis report does nt add up? D both pilots r dead n cannot defend themselves. Who even verified d report?
If d pilot knew smtin was wrong n dint abort take-off, den hes no different frm bus drivers who 'manage' their buses, even wen they kw smtin is wrong.
Like i said, too bad they r not alive to tell us their version of d story!

My dear, lagos camp is very good. I can tell u dat cos i am a batch B corp member serving in lagos. There is no way a camp will be as comfortable as ur house bt it serves purpose.
D mattress r ok, i even kw sm1 who doubled hers..lol, d rooms r sizeable, d bathroom is cool with running shower. Considering d population of pple n all, d camp is reasonable. The key to any place u r been posted to is arriving early, dat way, u can settle on time.

I hav been following d pics sinc morning wen i first saw it. I hav also read a lot of comments abt it n dis is wot i hav to say..
If d girl was from anoda church, i wld hav understood. Is there a diff marriage commitee for dis particular couple cos of their parents stance in d church? Sinc dey decided to wed them in d church, i xpectd dem to go by d rules which dey had followed for yrs. If not d pastor's children involved, wil d commitee wed a couple looking very decent with wedding gown n make up? Without turban? I like d bold step taken by his son n wife. I am sure a lot of members will follow suit.
I hav always wondered if they cant even wear a nice white suit instead of d pleated skirt. Now, i know better. Do not idolize or follow any pastor bt let JESUS be ur standard!

A good move by ghanaian authourities.
