You may be right in some of your submissions but there is a similarity between you and religious people.

The thought that you are better than religious people who always think that they too are better than others (both within the same religion and outside) somehow places you in the same class with religious people.

It's the same holier than thou attitude.

.the dullard will always be a dullard

Which dullard are you talking about, please? And how does it relate to the topic of the thread?

Comment available shortly...

Cats are too quiet for my liking. You never know what a cat is thinking...
And those shiny eyes of theirs...

Of course he will attend. Baba loves travelling and taking pics...

Right..

I will answer it scientifically. Pardon the long answer.

When someone is hungry, there is a drop in glucose.
According to research, the drop of glucose in the brain also causes people to drop socially acceptable behavior, which makes them grumpy and irritable.
A study published recently (in 2014) says that this tendency to let go of socially acceptable behavior when hungry is expressed in greater intensity toward those with whom the hungry person is closest, such as one's spouse or friends.
A hungry person finds it hard, to some degree, to practice self-control because self-control requires energy from glucose, and a hungry person has dropping levels of glucose.
The study also explains that hunger causes the body to go into a glucose counter-regulatory response, which simply means that the brain instructs some organs to release hormones that will increase the level of
glucose in the bloodstream.
These include the stress hormone adrenaline.
Adrenaline is responsible for putting the body in a "fight or flight" mode when a person is caught in life-threatening situations. (Believe me, hunger is a life-threatening situation)
So the body copes with hunger by releasing adrenaline and putting it in a similar "fight or flight" mode, making a hungry person snap at others when he or she normally wouldn't.

This applies to both men and women. The reason why men appear to be more aggressive is that their metabolism of food is higher than that of women because of their biological make-up and also due to increased level of physical activity.
We all know that men generally engage in more physically exhausting activities than women.
Oh, you don't think so?
Who is usually called to lift the heavy stuffs around the house? Is it not the man? And you expect him not to be grumpy when hungry? Come on, he needs fuel!

OP, you are right.
The fact that a parent trekked 20 kilometers to go to school when he/she was young doesn't mean that his children should experience the same.
If you ask such a parent why he had to trek that distance to go to school, you will find out that his own parents could not afford transportation money.
But he can afford the money now so I don't see why he should allow his own kids to trek a similar distance.

Just like you rightly concluded, children should not be over pampered but that doesn't mean parents shouldn't try as much as they can to make their children's lives easier.

pek:
In trying to sound intelligent, you ended up sounding dumb, very dumb. FYI, the question is why didn't you go to church today and not why you are at home at this time.

I guess you answered the question based on the thread's title just like most people.
I answered based on the poster's question.
He said 'if you are not in church right now what is your best excuse?‘
Go back and read the OP's question again.

And don't be quick to use the word 'dumb' on someone, Mr. Intelligent.

Family sources said that the house
wife had been married for 3 years
without a baby before she took in
for the baby that was delivered and
named Chinonso.

Considering this, I think it is safe to say that the dog was used by the devil to ruin their joy.

I know that someone may say that I am spiritualizing things but it is a possibility.

But the woman took things for granted, leaving her baby with a dog whose sanity was under question.

Being at home by this time doesn't mean someone didn't go to church.
Some churches run two to three services and that means that the first service starts as early as 7am, so people who went for the first service would have been back by now.

Okay o...

The mods have finally found a replacement for Tonto Dikeh on Nairaland front page in the person(s) of Oshiomhole and especially his new wife.
They are really giving Tonto a run for her money and fast running her out of business on Nairaland front page.

Waste of talent and expertise.

Reading...

It is too early to start reading about fights among senators who are mostly concerned about their own stomachs.

(Walks out of thread to go and make myself a cup of hot tea.)

Jollyjoy:
are you serious?you mean ok?

Are you serious?
You mean you quoted a post with just 'OK' to ask if the poster is serious?

Don't worry fellow Nigerians, Buhari's 'body language' will fix it.

I thought Buhari will only appoint people of integrity?
We all know OBJ cannot be called a man of integrity.

Can we now see that this integrity talk is coated with thick layers of hypocrisy?

It is better not to talk about integrity at all rather than make a mockery of the word.

Hmmm...Buhari is asking them not to do their thing. I hope they obey.

The economy cannot sustain subsidy but it can sustain the huge sums paid to lawmakers in the Senate and house of reps as allowances. SMH

If they want to reduced recurrent expenditure, they should first reduce the cost of governance.

OK. Noted.

OP, from your topic, you mean Buhari is actually walking all over Twitter and trampling (treading) on people's tweets?

I think this will only be an issue if a doctorate degree is part of the requirements for his appointment into the office.
But as long as it is not, there is no need to make unnecessary fuss about it.

OK. Noted.

I hate Nairaland mods for always using misleading captions to trick us into clicking on threads we would normally have ignored.

Noted.

Talking about being caged, I think Buhari has been 'caged' from the beginning since he cannot spread his tentacles towards OBJ and the other corrupt guys around him.

Cool.
But it would have been way cooler to see him acting on the big screen rather than just doing the voicing for an audio book.

Buhari is trying hard to live up to the anti-corruption image he painted of himself during the elections, that is why he is busy going after some people and making claims of recovering stolen money.

Real maturity at work.
Some men would have made a fuss about the burnt toast (and such men may not even know how to make a toast without burning it!)

If a man learns to handle situations like this with such maturity, his wife will always respect him unless she's possessed by an evil spirit!
