tunjijones: Some years ago, one of my subordinate that is a perpetual late comer to work went to church to start praying that God she kill me because I always gave her quarry anytime she comes late.
I was just laughing when I heard this. She was eventually dismissed from work cos of he nonchalant attitude toward work.
It's about 6 years ago and God has not killed me cos of her.
She must be a joker if she thought prayer was the only approach to the problem.
On the other hand, I hope you also engaged with her to find out what the issues were and how you could be of help beyond issuing queries.
We4all: Try to read between the lines and understand where she is coming from.
You do not need to marry a million times for your destiny to align with your partner. You also do not need to wait a million years to be both on the same page.
Even from the public point of view, one can easily tell that the one who has been keeping the marriage going is Kaffy.
That guy hasn’t had a professional growth in years and has choose to be a lifetime drummer.
Kaffy obviously is tired of pushing and has now realized that he doesn’t possess her kind of ambition and determination to succeed in life.
Her decision: “Endure or tow a different path”. Of course she choose the latter!
I see your point. It does make sense to me, but what if we were to reverse the model? How many men do you recommend to walk out of their marriage for the simple reason that their wives have not had "professional growth" in years.
I understand the concept of synergy and driving the best out of each other, but that's where it should end. Otherwise, you are merely asking couples to engage in vigorous competition just to prove a point about growth to each other.
Your post inadvertently endorses hypergamy and encourages more women to undervalue any union with a man where they become the better earner. Life is simple and sometimes we should be happy with what we have instead of the illusory chase of wealth and fame that would remain unquenchable no matter how much of both one amasses.
Romanoff: So people leave their marriages because "their destinies don't align".
How many do you now want to marry before your "destines align"?
This is the question of a million years. Maybe even until eternity as we see the rise of narcissism under the guise of self love. Tighten your belt people! The reign of the woke generation is upon us.
NNtv: I have been doing the business before, but I was faced with life challenges. Now, I have prepared my farm back. I only need some funds to kickoff.
I will return ₦60,000 in three months. And every dealings with you will be documented.
I have already registered my farm with the CAC.
This will be the best Christmas gift to me.
Where are you based? Provide a bit more information about yourself and the challenges you talked about.
iLegendd: I have a free thread on how to get started with crypto from beginners' level to pro. Request for it if you want it via this comment section. No DMs allowed — I don't have access to the email associated to this moniker.
JovialJune: You see that "accumulated pains of the past", I can relate or let's say I know of stories of such, that's why she is indifferent to him
What men don't seem to realise is that, how you treat/behave to your gf during courtship, determines how sweet your marriage will be, she may forgive whatever hurtful things you did, but she will never forget, after all she is human,there will always be a little disdain when she remembers and anytime she sees you, so men pls be good to your women, don't think that because you're dating her, you can behave anyhow, she is taking note of it all especially when the issue is unresolved, always treat your women right, it's for your own good.
I would beg to ask the basis of going into or being in a marriage if one simply keeps a record of bad events or cannot forgive. It is not the case that I endorse maltreatment of a spouse in any way, but it needs to be said that if one finds it difficult to forgive, such a one should simply stay out of marriage altogether.
travelwaka: The development in Lagos has proven that every state has what it takes to become self sufficient. We need to look inward. Instead of these states to focus on internally generated funds. We need more states to start challenging Lagos and rivers that way it will force these states to do more and also encourage other states to do better. There is always a construction work going on somewhere in Lagos.
If you are looking for what to do this December. Here you have it
I'd like to take you up on your Christmas offer in Tarkwa Bay. Please share more details, thanks.
iLegendd: And Jesus said, "It is finish," not finished. Too much peace of mind dey worry me. When you don't have a girlfriend or wife, you'll always have peace of mind if you know how to make money, invest money, and manage money.
And oh, you need constant light to make life sweet. Darkness is impedes progress in this digital age.
Bro, show me the way nah. I go like learn how to make my own money and live an enjoyable life. I'm not asking for fish, just how to catch it myself if you know what I mean, thanks.
backbencher: 1.The vaccine mRNA cannot enter human cells and integrate itself into human cells. To do that, it would require a lot of complicated techniques and subsitrates and enzymes working in a particular way to enter a cell, and then bring about changes to human DNA that would profoundly change human behaviour...and yes, such tech is centuries, if not thousands of years in the future.
2.Many viruses integrate themselves into human cells..eg HIV. But they mostly do that to take advantage of a partiuclar cell structure to manufacture proteins which can be assembled into new viruses.
(A crude analogy would be like someone taking over part of a Pepsi plant to manufacture coca cola. )
Also , viruses target specific cells (HIV goes for immune system cells...which is why it is so destructive..it wrecks the immune system, and allows other infections in.
3.The mRNA vaccine is just that...it introduces mRNA of the covid virus which manufactures a spike protein...which induces an initial immune response which results in the thing being 'cleared' from the body.
But the main, the main, is that the spike protein also activates a part of the immune response responsible for 'remembering past infections'. Once covid (the real virus) strikes a human who has been vaccinated...that part of the immune response then activates the body's other defenses, and induces a much greater immune response than to the vaccine...which clears the covid virus.
4.Of course, the response may decline over time..hence the booster.
5. Natural responses to covid..ie people who were infected by the covid virus and who recovered...have a similar repsonse..but it is not as intense as that due to the vaccine.
6. Again, the vaccine cannot corrupt human DNA. For the vaccine to do that..it would have to get into the cells...which requires a lot of substrates and integrative enzymes that the vaccine does not have and then integrate itself into the DNA...which requires again a lot of processes and substrates and enzymes...and anyway, mRNA does not integrate into DNA...(Human DNA uses human mRNA ...YES YOU HAVE mRNA...to assemble proteins in the body, which are then combined into various stuff in the body..cells, organs, vessels, etc etc.)
We don't have the tech to minaturize all that into a vaccine...and if we did, we would have long since used it to cure many bad genetic diseases like Tay Sachs, Thallasemia, and SCD. Plus, we don't have the knowledge and understanding of genetics needed to undertake a mass change in the body's genetic structure by injecting mRNA into the body.
Yes, genes have been manipulated and cut.(eg bacteria)..but it requires a large lab, and processes that are alien to vaccine production....different from how mRNA vaccines are made. And even when it is done(or attempted) in humans it is usually to eg either make humans immune to a disease, or cure a disease, (and the chap who said that he had made babies immune to hiv BY manipulating a gene that causes immunity to HIV was proven to be a fraud anyway). WHolescale corruption of the human genome is centuries away. We just don't have the tech to do it yet.
Finally, climate change is happening, and while I don't agree with the scaremongering, it does not mean we should all jsut pollute, pollute and pollute. Pollution does cause health problems, and may cause some congential illnesses...plus it is causing an expansion of the Sahara and driving more crisis.
Good job with the effort to try to simplify the issues.
My grouse with science is that it is 'proven knowledge' today , until we discover better tomorrow. It needs to be part of the training for scientists to include caveat on all new found knowledge if that might help.
I have long made my peace with the fact that science is highly inconclusive and every person capable of thinking should consider subjecting scientific claims to critical analysis, as far as possible, before accepting or rejecting them, barring emergency situations, of course.
It was science that touted both the Big Bang Theory and Darwin's Theory of Evolution tracing man's first cause to apes.
Jpolgar: My Lady, Queen of the Amazons, greetings to you. My vaccine hesitation & that of everyone I know peraonally, is born out of what experts have said. I'm sure you're aware that Robert Malone who invented the mRNA technology used in these vaccines is warning people against it. Dr Zev Zelenko who treated Trump when he had covid is also against it. Professor Luc Montagnier who discovered HIV has warned against mass vaccinations during a pandemic. I can provide you with resources if you want. There's massive censorship by Big Tech & people are starting to sense that something is wrong. Any story that deviates from the official narrative is tagged a conspiracy theory. People have a right to decide whether to take an experimental shot or not.
Please I am interested in your references if you care to share. It'd be very helpful to learn more, thanks.
bloomstories: Days After Anambra Guber Polls, AlexReports Boss Bags CEO Award As Public Relation Expert of The year
A renowned Public Relations practitioner and Chief Executive Officer of AlexReports, Mr. Alex Nwankwo has bagged Distinguished CEO award of Public Relations Expert of the Year.
This is coming barely 14 days after the Anambra governorship election in which Mr. Nwankwo who had earlier won the primary election of Accord Party stepped down for Dr. Godwin Maduka.
The award night which took place at Abuja Sheraton Hotel and Towers on Saturday was organised by The Papyrus Magazine.
Mr. Nwankwo who is also the Chairman/CEO Amity Global Network had two weeks ago received the award of Brand Influencer of The Year from a leading online medium in Nigeria, Igbere TV.
In 2020 Igbere TV Leadership Excellence award, Mr. Nwankwo also bagged Publicist Of The Year.
The young CEO is known for adding colour and flavour to events within and outside the FCT with his expertise in public relations.
The media consultant, a sought-after for individuals and corporate organisations who wish to have a first class event is also known for mentoring young people in harnessing their talents for national growth.
Speaking shortly after the event on Saturday, Mr. Nwankwo expressed gratitude to The Papyrus Magazine for finding him worthy of the honour.
He pledged to continue offering a topnotch Public Relations service to meet the satisfaction of clients especially as the industry becomes more dynamic.
Others who were honoured at the event include, Suleiman Abdulganiyu Ojonugwa as Rising Star in Automobile Industry, Shomade Atinuke as Outstanding African Fashionpreneur of The Year, Amb. Badamasi Sadiq Ibrahim as Dynamic Social Entrepreneur of the Year, Micheal Kwesi Ofori as an Emerging Leader in Foreign Direct Investment into Africa among others.
oldienavie: I am actually avoiding the referral option, but how is church a bad place to get a wife, I understand there are pretenders even in church sha ? By the way, I am not exposing my abroad status I am just laying low like a regular guy.
Bro if you are looking for a decent human being who can be a wife to you in a traditional sense, I'd recommend you try outside of Lagos. Personally, I think you should move base to Akwa Ibom. There are good ladies in Lagos of course, but given as your time horizon is short for the purpose of your objective, please consider babes outside Lagos too.
GreaterFuture: Sugar mummies part interests me... You mean all these popular women in the country (politicians, top civil servants, Corporate people etc.) Carry young boys too...?
That is a normal practice in Abuja as far as I know.
tutudesz: AlexReporter = bloomstories Alex be a man and post with your normal account, we promise not to yab you and your Oga again
Lols! Abuja awards are just as useless as they come. They add no meaning to life. Suffice to describe it as a device to gather cronies, prime men and women, and I should say even same sexes for each other.
It's like the different variant of the most beautiful anything pageant we see on a daily from that part of the country. You may know that if you are in Abuja, it's either that you are competing for limited corporate jobs, lobbying politicians or servicing sugar mummy and/or daddy as the case maybe. Alex and his crew are in the market to provide opportunities for all else except corporate jobs of course, at least not directly.
seunolu7: Lol. The world is moving away from hierarchical job 9-5 systems and moving to a collaborative works space, but Nigerians are still stuck with dumb old age practices. Why should you save a company's money if that is not your job? Why should you bother with giving them one useless competitive edge? Instead of seeking promotion in one boring job, we young Nigerians should start the era of hourly payments and encourage people to have two or three jobs that pay well and let people have time for their families. Don't spend 50 out of 75 years being a corporate slave so that your chairman will leave 2 billion dollar inheritance for his 12 children and 3 wives.
stanliwise: You're being deceived, believe me. Company will keep you because of your perceived worth and not just what you give to the company perse. Infact if you ask me which is better, I would say you first work on your worth and let your service value flow flawlessly without you breaking a sweat. The reverse will only end you up in tears.
Think deeper
If your boss is using motivational word to whine your head, better wake up. While you try to give your best you must never get caught up and always remember that you will only remain relevant base on worth and your skill level. People kill themselves day and night in the road of extra miles. Today no one ever heard what they did.
Omo no go dull o
The only time I will go extra mile in a company is if it increase my skill and worth but say because of say make bosses dey feel me. Dem go old. The only promise I will fulfill is to do my task which I signed for and the rest of the story are left to my self improvement and personal decisions.
BOTTOM LINE: Only indulge if there is a combined interest (your interest and the company interest) or else na road of extra miles you go retire.
You are very smart. There's value in what the Op posted also, but he missed a good point about looking out for one's interest as much as one may seek to add value.
Any value added to your company without commensurate benefit to you in terms of personal development and financial compensation is ultimately a loss to the employee concerned.
No one is ever remembered for service to an employer but the value one adds to oneself remains for life.
It would be highly dependent on the kind of service/product you are offering.
If for instance, you are offering a 24*7 service/ access to your product, I don't see how you would not work outside traditional work hours.
Depends on what you mean. In reality, no human being can offer 24 hour service, even if your context relates to sole proprietorship.
A regular business type with that kind of proposition should run minimum 3 shifts spanning 8 hours for each individual staff over a 24 hour cycle. Anything short of that is slavery as in the days of Kunta Kinte.
paxonel: The bible never mentioned anything about intersex individuals or any kind of mutants resulting from inbreeding depression or loss of hybrid vigor. Although we heard cases in the bible where angels came down from heaven to have canal knowledge(mate) with humans, as a result there was proliferation of unusual people such as giants who started committing havac to the creation, many of them were wiped out by the great flood of Noah generation.
But we still see unusual traits today like people having four fingernails instead of five, one hand or eye balls bigger in size than the other and even intersex you mentioned, non of these traits were ever mentioned significantly in the bible, only giants were mentioned.
Talking about whether people having these unusual traits like intersex can be Christians or will make heaven?
John 3:16 ...whosoever believes in him..
Mark the word WHOSOEVER. That means there are no distinction in traits or characters No distinction in race, tribe or culture or whatever.
I couldn't agree more. Intersex is squarely the result of some dysfunctionality in the breeding process. Not something that exactly participates in God's original plan for creation. Like you, I also believe God's love is available to them without hindrance. I recommend that they seek help to improve their situation within the knowledge available in science, especially where such is available.
Toks2008: To think that some Pastors preach that until you do a white wedding also known as "Church wedding".. You are not considered married...
I call this foolishness that has no basis in our tradition as Africans or even in the Scriptures.
I will advise any man to focus on the traditional wedding and go ahead to register the wedding if they want but if the lady insists on having a white wedding, let her take care of the entire financial demands except you have enough money to throw away.
May we be emancipated from mental slavery
Depends on where you are coming from. I agree completely that African traditional marriage is of the same weight as the western "white wedding". However, in Catholicism, marriage is a sacrament and based on that one needs to present one's wife before God and his people for blessings.
Please note that there's no need for any ceremonies here other than the celebration of mass where the sacrament is administered to the intending couples.
okay,let's clear this, people who are intersex are those born naturally with female and male sexual organs in their body. which means they were created by God that way.
it isn't a law or a way of life. it's nature. read more on "intersex".
God completed his work in 6 days and proclaimed that it was good.
God is no longer involved in creation, instead he has passed on the duty to man to continue the work of creation and dominate the earth.
Inter-sex is a question that human kind must find honest answers today. It was never in God's plans.
You are being disingenuous. Undergoing surgery and hormonal therapy is man’s intervention to “correct” God’s “mistakes”. If indeed God only intended to create just males and females, there obviously shouldn’t be a case of hermaphroditism don’t you think?
The presence of hermaphroditism in humans as we see today cannot invalidate a truth which God himself revealed to us from the beginning of time. He made them male and female with distinct physical features.
God's work is perfect and complete. A lot of the conditions that we see today speaks to the failure of man and largely science. Don't be surprise if some of these conditions are man's inventions to establish good grounds for the promotion of depravity in the world.
Faith and reason could go together, but where reasoning ends, faith subsists.
