Maybe because I grew up in an environment where; if you like a lady, you simply ask about her from one or two people who might know her, and if that isn't possible, you walk up to her, letting her know you find her attractive, have a little conversation to know her name, where she stays, what she does etc. If that isn't possible at the first encounter, you get her number, continue conversation on phone or if you’re more of a physical person, agree to meetup at a restaurant and speak as an adult while reasoning if she'll like to be in a relationship or not. Then move on!

But recently, i find the idea of Talking Stage creeping in where you have to be proving to her why you’re worthy, spending in gifts, expensive dates etc. Meanwhile she can be in more than 1 talking stages, maybe 4 or 5 at the same time without committing to anyone of the guys while enjoying all the benefits of a girlfriend. This can go on for up to 6 months or a year and the girl will say "We are just friends " or better "he's my talking stage"

Am I the only one who finds this absurd? As a guy, will you say she's just a friend, best friend, girl friend or what? You're not allowed to touch her, regard her as anything personal to you and she goes out with other guys, while you have to keep up with your boyfriend-love-proving journey.

What really is the use of talking stage? Or is it really another copied western culture?

Some people will argue that talking stage is to know the person, but then, what is the purpose of the dating period?

I will really appreciate your opinions

Am in love with this lady. She loves me too. But she always ask me for money.

If I had enough I will make sure I meet most of her need, due to how much I love her.

But the issue is that I don't have enough. So am withdrawing myself from her.
anytime she discover that am withdrawing from her she will complain .

I love her and it's hurt so much that I can't provide her with her basic needs.

Am just asking God, Why can't you give me money to take care of this girl?

She loves me I love her too but money no dey

Whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father . . . Matthew 10:33


What is idolatry? Idolatry is anything that comes between us and God. Joshua told his people that their nation would be destroyed if they persisted in idolatry, and their souls would suffer eternal death. He said, “You must make your decision today. You must decide whether you want to serve the idols of this life, or the living God.” “Choose you this day,” said Joshua, “as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” What about you? Are you taking your stand with Joshua? No matter what the cost? I am asking you to choose this day whom you will serve. Our families cannot choose Christ for us. Our friends cannot do it. God is a great God, but even God can’t make the decision for us. He can help, but only we can decide. We have to make our own choice.

PRAYER
Lord Jesus Christ, take away the idols in my life so that, completely undivided, I may serve You, my Savior.

Merry100:
2024 seemed to be a very difficult year for many, I am not excluded; it was the kind of year that one might wish they had spent in a coma, only to wake up and find it was another year.

One of my friends experienced a significant business setback, and I, along with others, tried to console her. When she finally regained her composure, she started claiming that there was no God.

Even though I was also having a bad time, her claim didn't sit well with me. There was even one particular client who was frustrating the hell out of me at the time, to the extent that I had to refund his money and tell him that I was no longer interested in doing business with him.

One day, I approached my friend and told her that I wanted to speak with her. She replied that if I was there to give her a sermon, she wouldn't listen. I proceeded to tell her that I was also frustrated and angry with God.

I narrated my bad experiences to her, but I told her that I don't think they are enough reason for me to say there is no God. I mentioned that I still remember those times I prayed and received instant miracles. There was a particular miracle that happened to me in 2022; I had shared it with her before, but I recounted it again during this conversation and also reminded her of a specific miracle she had shared with me.

I included that there are times when we ask our parents for things, and they give them to us instantly without stressing us. However, during those times when we ask and they refuse to give, we might show our frustrations or try to avoid speaking with them or seeing them, but we don't start denying that they are our parents or go to court to sever ties with them.

When I discovered she was reasoning with me, I proceeded to tell her that it was okay to be upset and frustrated, and that she could even vent her anger by misbehaving, acting like a prodigal child, and doing all sorts of things until she felt satisfied. But she should not claim there is no God when it is obvious to her that there is God. This is how I succeeded in reversing her decision.

Most of our men from age 16 to 35 have no business with relationship wisdom. Even if you tell them the truth, they'll go and tell her what you said.

It's not a man's job to fall in love, but to provide protection, but men won't listen.

Stay away from emotional attachment from both women and money and watch how you'll have peace of mind.

A woman operates based on emotions. Whatever you've done for her doesn't matter. In fact, the less you want her, the more she wants the little you have to offer over the might goodies the person who wants her offers.

She's a teacher as well in the same school so this woman is her colleague. She wouldn't have lost her job and no right thinking person will have her fired for reporting a colleague who is misbehaving.

This woman failed her son abeg. I don't know if she is a weakling, or if it is just condition that has made so 'gentle'.

As for the school, they need to be questioned. Why did it have to take a social media uproar for them to take action, even after the pastor reported??

This kid was failed by those who should have protected him.

75% of Life’s Success Isn’t Taught in Nigerian Schools. This is Why You Need to Learn Beyond the Classroom

Have you ever wondered why so many successful individuals achieved greatness despite not undergoing the traditional education system?

Research shows that 75% of what we need to succeed in life is not taught in Nigerian schools, and a significant portion of what we are taught is rarely applicable in the real world.

This shocking reality highlights the shortcomings of the Nigerian curriculum in preparing students for the complexities of modern life. Our schools focus heavily on theoretical knowledge, often neglecting critical life skills like financial literacy, emotional intelligence, entrepreneurship, and digital proficiency—skills essential for navigating today’s world.

Why Is This Gap So Widespread?

1. Outdated Curriculum: Many schools still follow curriculums designed decades ago, which fail to address the demands of the 21st century. I remember one of our teachers in SS class back then who was using a 1990 text book when it was 2008.

2. Focus on Grades Over Growth: The emphasis on passing exams rather than fostering creativity and critical thinking stifles students' ability to innovate. When sometimes go to the lab and told to skip topics from the practical manual. We focus too much on theory.

3. Neglect of Practical Skills: Topics like personal finance, career planning, and interpersonal skills are missing, leaving students unprepared for life after school.


What Can Be Done?

If you’re waiting for the education system to change, you might be waiting forever. It’s time to take your future into your own hands:

Invest in Self-Education: Use online platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and YouTube to learn in-demand skills. Read books on entrepreneurship, personal finance, and emotional intelligence.

Build Soft Skills: Focus on communication, teamwork, time management, and adaptability—these are the traits employers value the most.

Experiment and Take Risks: Start a small business, volunteer, or work on side projects to gain real-world experience.

For Parents and Educators

Parents and teachers have a significant role in shaping well-rounded individuals. They can:

1. Encourage students to pursue extracurricular activities that develop their creativity and resilience.

2. Teach financial literacy early to help children understand money management.

3. Foster curiosity and problem-solving by supporting questions and independent thinking.


A Wake-Up Call for Policy Makers

It’s not enough to acknowledge the gaps in the system—action is needed. Nigerian policymakers must:

1. Revamp the curriculum to prioritize life skills over rote memorization.

2. Train teachers to embrace modern teaching methods and technology.

3. Create programs that support entrepreneurship and digital literacy from an early age.


Redefining Success

Success in today’s world is not just about academic excellence; it’s about character, adaptability, and the ability to solve real-world problems. The education system should nurture these qualities, but until it does, individuals must actively seek knowledge and opportunities to grow.

So, the big question is: What are you doing to learn what school didn’t teach you? Share your thoughts, experiences, and suggestions in the comments below. Let’s start a conversation that could inspire change!
