It is good to be open in a relationship. Telling the truth is usually hard especially when you know that it may spoil things. But it is better to tell the truth and have a clear conscience.
Some people will advice you not to tell the truth because of the reaction you might get but marriage is such a long journey for you to embark on with an unclear conscience.
Remember, if you tell the truth, it becomes part of your past but if you tell a lie and pretend that everything is fine, it becomes part of your future. It is like postponing the evil day.

My belief is that you will eventually find someone who will love you irrespective of your past.

For a woman who has done so much for you, the best thing you can do for her is to let her see that all her efforts on you (as her child) were not wasted and that you turned out to be a loving, caring and successful person - someone she can be proud of.

That is what every child should do for his parents.

Shout-out to all the mothers. Even the strongest of men came out of a woman.

It seem this governor's new found obsession is Buhari.

He should exercise some restraint in his speech.
Though some of his statements may earn him some points, too much talk makes him look like a clown. He should show some class.

21. Stop worrying about the past and about things that you cannot change. It drains your energy and makes your progress difficult. You cannot move forward if you keep looking backwards (at the past) or looking down (in worry over the present).Find the courage to look ahead.

What is life really? Few days ago a man died in my presence. He had sudden cardiac arrest. I then began to wonder what is the essence of life?

One lesson every death teaches us is that the next minute is not guaranteed. Hence, we should make the very best out of the present moment. Live your best life now before God and men.

Our error is that in a bid to secure the future (which is not guaranteed) we miss the joys of the present moment.

Most of our politicians are infants mentally. With the way they insult themselves in public (verbally and behaviourally), one can only conclude that they need to grow up.

Were they actually expecting one million persons to come out and march on the streets for someone who was miles away probably attending to his own private matters?
Don't people have other important things to do with their time?
Out of those who came out, how many of them will vote?

Holding a march for whichever candidate is useless because in the end it is the votes that count and not whether a march was held or not.

But some people are ignorant of that. They equate 'voiced support' and endorsements to number of votes.

Very unfortunate.

OK. Noted.

The drama continues.

I understand that they want to tap into the man's success. Well, it doesn't happen like that. Are they ready to put in years of hard work like he did?
Being successful doesn't come by just sitting on the seat of those who are succeeding rather it comes by doing what the did to get to where they are.

For those saying that she is not smart, I hope you will be happy if someone finds your misplaced money/item and makes use of the 'opportunity' by going away with it? I hope you will clap for that person for being 'smart'.
After all, you said opportunity comes but once.

You see why you should not be quick to cast a stone at the government for being corrupt?
An act of honesty is seen as foolishness even by the ordinary citizens. Herein lies our problem.

It is a commendable project.

For those who do not want to see anything good about the project, it will do you some good to lay aside your dislike for the person of the president for once and focus on the idea of the project and it's benefits to the nation.

One should not wish evil and retrogression for his country because someone from the opposition party is in power just to prove how incompetent and incapable the opponent is. In the end, it affects all of us.

This is our country and we all have to wish for and work together towards it's progress.

Good to hear.
These bad eggs (kidnappers) continue to give us a bad name. There will surely be a day of reckoning for them.

spyg1:
You are correct!!!

That's why GMB must be the President cos northeners don't know how to steal money, unlike the south n the west.

huh? If that is true then the north should be more developed considering the fact that they've being in power many times in the past more than any other region. If the allocations to the region are properly used without any theft as you claim, they should be more developed in all aspects (education, basic amenities etc). Not so?

I don't like all these big vehicles (trucks and trailers).
And the bad part is that the drivers of these vehicles are not usually careful.

You need to see how trailer and tanker drivers 'bully' other vehicles on the road.
It's bad.

You mean by 2019? But he can only be president twice.

They should be careful how they use those brooms. They might end up sweeping away their votes.

This is another reason to question this 'change' that they are talking about.

So they think Nigerians are stup.id?
They are wrong. People are not that dumb.
The only ones who will still go ahead to support thieves are the few robots who have been programmed to type 'Sai APC' (even if they rob them blind) and "Change".
If you ask them what manner of change, they have no answer rather they will reply with another statement which they have been programmed to use in extreme cases of questioning and that is "Anything but GEJ/PDP"
Really?
Anything but GEJ even if it's something worse?

Only robots think that way (oops! I forgot, robots can't think!)

This is a little too late as far as this election is concerned.
All the e-warriors who have been wasting their time on the politics section engaging in e-wars and propaganda should have pushed for the registration of the party long ago.
That would have been a good way to promote true CHANGE.

This is not good at all.
For a region where only a few value education, it is expected that those who willingly show interest should be provided with a very conducive environment to learn so that they don't get discouraged.

Even if the kids don't mind (complain), this is not an optimal learning environment. It will take more effort than normal to learn under this condition.

God is omnipresent. The importance of gathering together is for fellowship. God likes to see his children gathered together and doing things as a body. There is strength that comes with fellowshipping with one another. You get encouraged, challenged and edified.
However, one must not limit his Christian experience to only what he gets from group meetings. One needs to cultivate his own person relationship with God so that he can develop deep roots.
That way he will have something tangible to offer the body (i.e other brethren) when he comes in contact with them.
One's spiritual vitality depends largely on his inner capacity i.e the much he has personally learnt from spending time with God. That is what will keep him going in hard times when no one is around.

hmuhammad:
Stop deceiving yourself, GMB is northern candidate, none of the elders can even control the votes of his house. GMB will win

But you can control it? You sound so sure.
You must be a fortune teller. I think I will need your (office) address 'cos I have a lot of questions I want to ask about the future.

It seems that these people don't see the General winning this election, that's why they are switching to plan B. Smart move.

This is not good at all. It makes learning difficult.
For a region where a few value education, it is expected that those who willingly show interest should be provided with a very conducive environment to learn so that they don't get discouraged.
If a child is enrolled in this kind of school and he notices on his first day that he'll have to sit on the floor the entire term, it will take a lot of determination (and maybe some persuasion) for him to go back there the next day.
Even if he doesn't mind (complain), this is not an optimal learning environment. It will take more effort than normal to learn under this condition.

This is a practical example of couples being partners for life.

Mere speculations.

To those referring to GEJ as Idi-amin. Do you mean the one you openly insult day and night and yet has not trampled on your freedom of speech or are you referring to another GEJ?

gbeseun:
God bless u doctor,we are aware now,though I have stopped child rearing. After two girls,am afraid to have the third one,so it won't be girl

God bless your girls
I'm not a medical doctor though.

lamako:
All of this story will not change or help this woman Mr doctor.

But it will enlighten others.

This is a case of congenital amputation.
Most birth defects occur in the first three months of pregnancy when the organs of the fetus are forming.
During the crucial first weeks, frequently before a woman is aware she is pregnant, the developing fetus is most susceptible to substances that can cause birth defects (teratogens).
Exposure to teratogens can cause congenital amputation

There is no known way to prevent congenital amputations, but the prevention of birth defects in general begins with the well being of the mother before and during pregnancy. Prenatal care should be clear and comprehensive, so that the mother understands both her genetic risks and her environmental risks.

Studies have suggested that a multivitamin including folic acid may reduce birth defects, including congenital abnormalities.
Smoking , drinking alcohol, using recreational drugs or drugs not prescribed by a physician and having a poor diet while pregnant may increase the risk of congenital abnormalities.
Daily, heavy exposure to chemicals is also thought to be especially dangerous for pregnant women.

I expect APC supporters who intend to make comments here to either address the topic or keep quiet if they have no reasonable input rather than attacking the OP as they have always done to those who dared to raise questions about their party in the past few days.

It is common sense that if you need someone's support, you have to give credible reasons why that person should support you.

It shouldn't be ''support us or face our wrath''
That only drives people away from you.

Good to know.
Slightly away from the topic, there are some issues someone raised in the health section about the way things are done in most of our public hospitals.

One of them is the long processes one goes through before getting medical attention. Someone could be brought in to the hospital in an emergency situation and instead of being attended to quickly, most times the relatives are asked to first of all open a folder (and this usually takes some time) and this delay can make the patient's condition more critical.

Another is the case of multiple prescriptions by different doctors for the same patient. Dr A's treatment plan will be different from Dr B's. One doctor sees the patient in the morning and writes a prescription, another comes in few hours later and writes something else when the patient has not even completed the dose of the ones earlier written. The patient usually bears the cost of buying these drugs some of which he may not need eventually. Needless to say the health implications of overloading a patient's system with too many drugs.

(Please let no one take this personal)

It would be good if these issues are looked into so that the patient who is at the center of health care delivery can get better and quality service.
