boldx: Washing a car or not washing is not a problem at all.
Most teenagers and post teens need to be reminded to do a lot of things in the house.
Please do not intervene in husband and wife matter though he is your brother.
His children are no longer kids and should be handled wisely.
If they don't wash his car, the man should wash his car by himself. It's no big deal. I wash my car myself despite having big teenagers. They do once in a while though.
I have consistently faced this challenge. Please don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.
Mr. Man, what are you saying sef? That means your case is even worse.
CalliDora1: And You're here saying it as in a 3 year old is stronger than you or too big you can't control or make him take instructions from you any longer?
Who allowed it in the first place?
Somebody you should give his size and ground him from watching TV for weeks, you're here sounding defeated. If you cant control him now, I wonder when hes now a teenager what you'll do.
Turn on the tv station you want to watch. If he starts to react, give him a Stern look and if he doesn't behave, get the cane and whip his ass real hard. Yes hard because he seems to have grown tougher than you. So you need to break him down. I know you'll think I want you to kill your child. No! Just a strict dicipline to reset his brain otherwise, like you said, it will affect his academic performance and once that happens at the foundational stage, you might never get it right again.
In my years of experience as a teacher, I've observed that the slow leaners are the ones who are always glued to the TV. During class sessions, they won't respond but during break period you need to see them downloading all they saw in the cartoon movie with demonstrations too and you'll be like so this child can be this active and expressive... Only in the wrong things and not in their studies. Im talking about up to basic 5 level.
Yesterday, some of my basic 5 students were like, "miss J, this question is too difficult" during exams. And I was like, move to the next question then. And these are very cheap questions I set out of pity. If they studied instead of watching cartoons, they probably will not have difficulty answering those questions.
What I'm trying to bring out here is.. children naturally dont want to do the right thing any longer and if you allow them, you'll be the one to bear the brunt in the end.
One of the very few persons that made reasonable and practical comments. Kudos.
Pray for your mum. Take care of your dad the much you can. Be determined to be happy irrespective of the conditions around you. This is even better if you can afford to get your own apartment. Failure to do the aforementioned can lead to your own psychological breakdown. You've got your own life to live.
Nothing to worry about really. Give the baby just warm water, especially first thing in the morning about 50cl. It's very good. Do that for now while including a lot of vegetables in his meal. Fruits - oranges, pineapple, cucumber.
If you still doubt, take him to the hospital and see a pedestrian.
This is a brand new year. You don't need all the drama and rigors associated with single mothers. This is added to the fact that the fathers of the children are still alive. My friend, forget her and face forward.
The number of persons viewing this thread is amazing, very large. I was only imagining the level of corruption in the county. So multiply that amount by the number of ONLY police pipeline commanders across the Niger Delta States, then add to the ones given to various commanders in the Army and Navy. We haven't even talk of numerous govt ministries and parastatals like NNPC, DPR, NPA, etc etc etc etc
What are these people saying sef? So how are we sure someone or persons along the chain is not collecting "chum chin", cause in my area a centre is collecting N4,000 and elsewhere N5,000. In these places, the processes run smoothly, but go to NIMC office and you will discover the process is cumbersome with epileptic network. Naija things.
harmony75: it was announced at evening service of digging deep yesterday � we thank God it shall all end in praises �����
Please confirm the nationwide cancellation. Cause as at yesterday afternoon, the cancellation was limited to Lagos State, owing to Lagos CAN directive that all churches in Lagos end their crossover services by 11pm. Thank you
nams77: Well if what you are saying is true, then tell your pops man to cancel his list. .those cars are not for men going into retirement...they are for young folks who can give the necessary attention Tell him to get the following
lexus Es330, or lexus Es 350. Plush, luxurious,powerful and reliable.
For SuV he should go for the highlander and forerunners.
I am a Benz man myself
@OP, the above is the most sensible comment I've read. For a man going into retirement, non of the cars on his list fits.
Very interesting thread. Hmmm. Love is good and money is good in marriage. Notwithstanding his state presently, as a lady, ask yourself, does he have a drive to succeed? What is he doing to earn a living? I mean a man must strive to live, to feed, even if it means working in a car wash or starting one, looking for construction sites to work, starting a business no matter how small etc. If you see such determination in him, then you're good to go, cause chances that he will succeed with 'two chasing ten thousand' is there
However, if he's a lazy bone, to with no drive and determination, please find your bearing.
Above all, pray and let the Holy Spirit guide you because your way and thoughts could be completing different from His.
Just like the guy up there said, please find your bearing. He's tired of you having tasted what you are supposed to keep until you're married. Please face your studies and give it your best shot, thereafter pursue your career and or business, make money and be happy, okay.
OP, please take suicide off your mind and thought. You need urgent counseling. Talk to someone you (and your wife) respect and that is married and open up. If your pastor fit in the description, better.
Never, contemplate committing suicide for the sake of your soul (because you're not the owner of your life, God is) and your children (i.e if they are actually yours)
This governor is really going through a lot. Condolences to the families of the bereaved. May God continue to protect the govt and people of Bornu State.
AsiwajuNdigbo: how old was Gowon when he became head of state?
I think he was 32 at the time he became head of state.
Also, it's good to state here that he was a consensus candidate chosen, as he was more favorably disposed and generally accepted by the North to replace Maj Gen Ironsi
flavnwokem: Am residing in Calabar amd i have been to Akwa Ibom, in terms of infrastructure Akwa ibom is miles ahead of Cross River and Uyo is far far far ahead of Calabar.But there is more money in calabar than uyo, better enjoyment spots and leisure facilities in calabar,more Keke tricycle than cars in UYO, infact with the julius berger fine roads in uyo na keke full am.In all Uyo is more friendly to visitors both for leisure or business trip,less i forget,kidnapping, robbery and cultism is an issue in calabar. Both calabar and Uyo are far better than most state capitals around for tourism.
Please, how would you rate Uyo in terms of kidnapping, robbery and cultism?
God created marriage and if you desire it, you'd get it. We live in this part of the world where most of our forefathers did some things on behalf of their children with adverse consequences either knowingly or in ignorance.
Having said that irrespective of the deliverance you've done, I would still recommend you wholeheartedly undergo that of MFM. Though not a member, theirs is very effective.
In addition, make yourself presentable, neat, be friendly, smell good, have positive attitude to life, don't get yourself worked up and trust in God. Be financially independent and just live life as comfortably as you can afford. Build investments. But remember that marriage is never an achievement in life. Those you're able to impart positively including your environment and winning souls for Christ is the real deal.
HeavenlyHolines: God have mercy oo. everything is becoming a joke. imagine a graduate can't find his or her bearing whereas others that learned trade or business are doing well. I think it's high time we understand Nigeria's educational system. We were trained as job seekers n not as job creators and until we understand that many courses are becoming obsolete in the 21st century,we won't go anywhere. The educational system needs an overhauling
You Talked about Operation, You Talked about IVF, You Gave no Chance to the Source of the Baby , infact the Source of all things..
You Gave no Chance to My DADDY, You Gave no Chance to GOD Almighty, It's Really Unfortunate! It's Exactly what so many People today.
Anyway, I Believe That Without Operation , your Wife will take in and Deliver soundly..
If you Believe like I Believe, I Pass a Decree, by the Mercy of God, The Medical team of Heaven pay your wife a Visit. I Decree that your Wife will Conceive and Put to Bed in The Name of JESUS..
Expel Fear, Doubts and Unbelif!
Have your time with your wife! She will Conceive According to the time of life..
I concur with this comment.
OP, as a child of God, quitting your union is not an option, cause you must understand the deep meaning of marriage. She's scared and so you must be there a be strong for her. You're the priest of your home and so should assert that God given authority to declare fruitfulness unto your wife, encouraging her with the word of God. Nobody will do it for you.
You must bring her out of the level of fear to the level of building up her faith in God, that with HIM all things are possible. You should know that since no animal is barren, man that He created in His image and likeness cannot be barren and so your wife will give birth in due season. However, both of you must trust God. Shalom
