Chinaimporter: [size=14pt]PLAN, INVEST AND MAKE MONEY VERY FAST AND YOU WILL STOP THINKING ABOUT POVERTY INITIATIVES LIKE THIS
I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS ONCE LIKE YOU WORKING AS A WELL PAID SLAVE IN ONE ON NIGERIA BEST BANK AND MAKING CLOSE TO 4 MILLION NAIRA IN A YEAR THEN I WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND RESIGNED.
MADE MY PLANS AND ACCELATE THE IMPLEMENTATION, PRAYED TO GOD THEN INVESTED IN SNAKE FARMING FOR MAKING OF ANTIVENOMS AND SNAKE LEATHER.
LO AND BEHOLD, I OWN MY LIFE AND HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF SAVING FOR FEW KOBOS BY NOT EATING OUT UNLESS YOU MEAN FOR DIETING PURPOSED.
BROS OWN YOUR LIFE TODAY AND BECOME AN ENTERPRENEUR.....GO INTO FIELDS THAT FEW PEOPLE WILL ATTEMPT GOING INTO AND YOU WILL BECOME A MASTER OF YOUR OWN DESTINY

SNAKE FARMING IS A VERY LUCRATIVE BUIZ......AND YOU DONT NEED INSURANCE BECAUSE NO ARMED ROBBER WILL EVEN COME TO YOUR DOMAIN[/size]

Travel › Re: Tips For Surviving An Airplane Crash by emmabest2000(m): 2:21am On Sep 27, 2014
Stelvin101: Came across this Article while checking my email and I believe it will be very useful to those of us who travel by air almost all the time wink

LONDON (AP) — Each day, 8.3 million people around the globe step aboard some 93,500 flights. They almost always land safely.

But in the rare chance of a crash, there are some things passengers can do to improve their odds of surviving. British Airways offers frequent fliers a half-day safety awareness
course. Among the tips offered there:

— During the safety demonstration, count the number of rows to the nearest exit. Then count the number of rows to the second nearest exit, remembering that it might be behind you.

— Next, practice putting on and taking off your seatbelt to build muscle memory. Check where your life vest is and touch it.

— Learn the proper brace position: Bend forward as far as possible, keep your head down. Place your feet flat on the floor and slide them back. Your dominant hand goes on the back of your head. Protect that hand by placing the other hand over it. Do not interlock fingers. The goal is to ensure that the bones in the stronger hand aren't broken so you can eventually unbuckle the seatbelt.

—Red lights always signal an exit because the color cuts through smoke the best.

— Once an evacuation order is given, seconds count. Move quickly to the nearest exit and jump down a slide. If you hesitate, the flight attendants will push you out.

— Always inflate life vests outside the plane. They can limit mobility in a tight space. Or, if water fills the cabin, passengers with inflated vests can be pressed up against the ceiling, unable to swim down to the door.

Family › Re: Teaching Our Children The Sense Of Gratitude. by emmabest2000(m): 2:02am On Sep 26, 2014
greatgod2012: Hello lovely Nairalanders.
I'm gradually resuming back to NL after my unofficial vacation.
I want us to learn from one another as regards what affects every family, which is...............training of our children, whether biological, adopted or live-ins(i mean relative kids who are living with us temporarily, for one reason or the other), therefore, i will be coming up mostly on threads that have to do with child/ren upbringing and today, we want to start with "teaching our children to always be appreciative, no matter how small or little the favour shown by whoever, be it parents, relatives, friends, visitors, employees/employers, or even strangers.


First, what is gratitude?
Gratitude is the appreciation for a favour given or shown to someone. It is the act of thankfulness. It is being grateful for favour or kindness.



How can we show gratitude?

Personally, the best way to show appreciation is by saying it out............by saying thank you each and everytime a kind of favour is given or shown to someone, without saying it out, the person doing the favour may think his/her favour/kindness is not appreciated, so, the best way to let the person know that you appreciate is by telling the person that you appreciate his good gesture towards you.
Another way is by leading as example, what you don't have, you can't give, if you're the type that's always grateful, they will always copy you. For example, when any of my kids do something nice, i thank them. It means you're indirectly training them to be likewise.
Why showing appreciation?
A yoruba adage says "eni to ba dupe ore ana, a ri emii gba" i.e if you say thank you for a kindness, it is an avenue for you to get another one". However, personally, the reason for being appreciative is not basically to get another one but to show that YOU ARE WELL AND PROPERLY BROUGTH UP. I use to say this, there is no bad elder, it is a bad child that grows to become bad adult, if one does not know how to say thank you for a good deed, then such should not complain when wickedness is shown to him. If somene can go out of his way to assist in one way or the other and the mouth seems to be too heavy to utter just "thank you, such a person should not use the same heavy mouth to complain when a prospective helper refuses to help. This is in support of yoruba adage that says......."eni ti a ba se oore fun, ti ko ba dupe, ti a ba se ika fun, ko ma binu".




When do you start teaching your kids the sense of gratitude?

As early as possible, teaching our kids to be appreciative should start from when they are toddlers, so that they will get used to it. Infact, all my children's first words are...."tan tu" (thank you). They are so used to it now that it makes people , almost everyone that come across them to fall in love with them instantly. They are taught to say "thank you Lord" first thing in the morning, and that also is already part of them that no one can take away from them. Saying thank you by kids make people to conclude that, such kid is well-mannered, even though as kids, they have their flaws, but the sense of gratitude they possess has so much covered their other areas of weakness to the people outside.



How do you instill sense of gratitude into your kids?
Very simple; instist that they say thank you for whatever you do for them at home, even though, it is our duty to take care of our kids, but it's also their right to appreciate it.

Let us learn from one another, if there is any other point to add or modify, please, let's do and learn from one another.
May God help us all parents.

Education › Re: Phrases In Pidgin and Meaning! by emmabest2000(m): 1:07am On Sep 22, 2014
Ksslib: Some of you Ajebutters might have heard people saying some of this stuff but had no idea what they meant... Well here are few i can think of...

1..You don see me finish: This is often used when someone you're much older than doesnt accord you proper respect.. Typical scenario:
Person; Hmmmmn! Who mess this kain thing na?
Small boy:: Na Brother luke
Br Luke::: I no blame you. You don see me finish

2..I dey H:: I dey H is a coded way we use to express hunger. The H there stands for Hunger and its pretty popular and very much used by quite a hadful.
E.g:: guy,you never cook cos me dey H badly o.

3..E go be na: This might sound strange hearing it for the first time cos its just a phrase that doesnt make sense.. But its a way saying later, till we meet again..e..t..c
Guy1:-Ok ma dey reach house.
Guy2:- Ok my guy.. E go be na.

4..Park well: Not only the security man can tell you to park well. Even those without cars in Naija do park well. Park well is used to dare someone..
Guy 1:- see, i go leave this bottle for your head oo
Guy2: bone that thing.. Guy i say park well.

5..Bone that thing: Yea! Bone right?. But it has nothing to do with the skeletal system. Bone that thing can be used as another form of park well in some cases, but its mostly used as just forget it..
Guy1: If i see rukewe, i swear me go land ha slap
Guy2: You big pass that one na. just bone the babe.
2nd case:
Man; young man i'l deal with you. You know who i am?
Boy: Oga dis one na just grammar. Bone that thing

6. I wan crash: Nope! It has nothing to do with plane crash so keep calm. I wan crash is the pidgin version of i'm feeling sleepy or off to bed.
Guy: you fit help me type this document?
Guy2: tomorrow abeg. Cos i wan crash so

7..I dey high table: Owanbe party freaks and those of you who love eating burial rice can easily identify with High table. But in this case, i dey high table is used when you're eating.
Guy: walks in and see's his guy eating**
Guy2: My guy i dey high table o. Con join me.

8..I go treat f.f.uck-up: has nothing to do with sex. Its used when you're planning to get back at someone who betrayed,wronged or annoyed you.
Guy: skippo no gree pay me my money oo
Guy 2: guy no worry. We go treat him f.f.uck-up

9..I go enter you o: Its logically/anatomically cheesy impossible for a human being to enter another human being but in pidgin it is. This is used to warn someone off an iminent attack from your part.
Guy: **Slaps him**.. You dey kolo. Who you be?
Guy2: **pulls shirt** you dey mad? Guy if you try am again, i swear i go enter you..

10. I don moose: But pronounced as Murze .. Star,Heinekein(spell check) ,Gulder and harp lovers use this line to express their drunken state.
Guy: why you dey behave like this na?
Guy; My guy i don moose.

11.Make brain: God is the giver of life alright. The brain is by far one of, if not the most outstanding organ. But we don dey make brain for pidgin tey tey.
Guy: ooh boy..See that mami water

Happy new month..
Add yours..

boliano: We can't deny the fact that we all have our own worries. We need not worry about them coz There is always a way Out of every Situations...

Here is a story to lift you up this morning I found it to be Inspirational hence I posted it. have a nice time reading it and remember to pass it on, you never know whose day u might make!


Shake Your Worries Off And Step Up!!!

This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well.
The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells.

After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.

Initially the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him.
It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP!
This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off and step up… shake it off and step up… shake it off
and step up!” He repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP!

It wasn’t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him actually helped him … all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.

That's LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity we will surely achieve our aim.

Have a blessed sunday.........
it's more easier to say than to DONE ...
