Foreign Affairs › Re: ‘it’s Beyond Scope Of Self-defence’ — China Condemns Israel’s Attacks On Gaza by Day169: 9:27pm On Oct 15, 2023
It's hard to say what a commensurate response would have been but sadly, lives are being taken on an hourly basis. cry
Emotions are running wildly all over Israel. Innocent Palestinians are paying for price for their brothers' indiscretions.
For the Chinese to understand the situation better, let's imagine what their response would've been if Taiwan fired a ballistic missile into the Beijing.

This is good one.
Can you share one experience of such that makes you know this?
I started out in life with a sense of inadequacy. Wrote Jamb 3ce before admission into school, was dissatisfied with my 1st degree, so I went back. Scoured the streets for sometime before I got a job, facing daily challenges (like you) but not giving up. Not living my dream yet but my struggle continues. I believe that tomorrow will be better for us all even though the pain is immense right now.
Without a sense of hope, there's little to live for.
Lord hear my prayer!

This is an unofficial welcome to the "Suckers club", with an unlimited charter. But guess what, you're the only one who can exit this club by being real and true to yourself.
Start by looking at the many blessings you've already been bestowed with, which you probably don't see. You have gifts despite your situation.
Realise that you must start from where you are and the journey self improvement is a daily battle.
To be a man, there are multiple challenges you'd face and success with the opposite gender is only one of those.
Like some posters said, go out, meet people, read books, and keep hustling.
Lastly, the grass always seems greener on the other side.
So stay strong!

I'd do both.. the past to relive the hey days of my youth and then the future to see what awaits me, this country and mankind in general.

Family › Re: Have You Ever Asked Your Parents How They Met by Day169: 2:14pm On Oct 11, 2023
Klass99:
Lol, do you know any married couple who sing sweet songs after years or decades of marriage?
I'm sure they are sweet and sour moments in marriage, but it often looks like a routine life of drudgery.



Please inquire for the sake of a fun conversation and connection with your folks the next time you visit or see one of them. It gives them pleasure to talk about their lives and experiences, before they ever became parents. Parenting is a tough and hard job, it doesn't hurt to bring back pleasant memories of what their lives were like prior to marriage and kids. You can actually learn a lot and understand them better too.

For instance I learnt that my mother was a gorgeous babe, my father and one other guy were hot on her case for marriage but she chose my dad. I wondered what life would have been like if she chose the other guy. One of my aunties (my mother's sister) once said it may have been a lot sweeter/better if she chose the other guy, because the other guy wasn't a first born child with lots of siblings looking to him for their survival, which made sense to me. Life with my father wasn't bad at all but when your finances are being pulled in numerous directions due to lazy and entitled siblings it starts to take a toll.
Well said @ Klass99! smiley
It's actually the ups and downs of married life that makes it a song worth singing.
Perhaps it's time for me too to join a choir. wink
Family › Re: Have You Ever Asked Your Parents How They Met by Day169: 8:58am On Oct 11, 2023
I haven't and I bet most of us never did. I was the last born and dint bother myself with those tales. smiley

Mine met in the choir. I never asked how they met but in the course of gisting, the gist of how they met came out.
I bet they've been singing sweet songs ever since. wink

Welcome to the real world, Young man, but I can see that despite the circumstances, you're doing well for yourself. What I believe you need is the self assurance that you'll succeed at some point, because most folks around you (believe it) don't even have a fraction of your talent or the opportunities that present you.
Keep your head up and continue to strive for the success that you'll become eventually.
All the best!

I still wonder how a unit of the FGN's MDA will still Insist on payment for services rendered in cash to this day.
It simply confirms the cesspool of corruption and sleaze that Nigerians have become accustomed to, with civil servants, being the "engine room" for this disservice. angry

How much is Slovakia giving to NATO when compared to USA?

Slovakia withdrawing funding NATO won't be noticed.

Most bad news seems to emanate from Ogun these days.
At times, it sounds as if those who couldn't take the Lagos heat move out to the border towns in Ogun to vent their frustration on the innocent. undecided

reverendfather:
the car is a Honda civic 2008. Working very well with chilling AC and all, barely been less than 100k mileage
If I'm correct, the 2008 Civic is the one that has a 'Stealthy' look and so not commonly done in 9ja, so you'll need a reputable person to help you deal with the electrics while you source for the dashboard
