Anxious and fear of failing....from my Dad

The man was always proactive and find it difficult remaining calm if things are not going well as planned. Reason why he takes time to put things in order before any event. This also happens to me..... fear of uncertainty and what the future holds. My father started talking to me about the future why I was still in primary 5 and said he wouldn't want to see me struggle and not achieve success. Funny enough, I started engaging my children about their future and what they should do to succeed, which I attribute to fear of unknown and uncertainties.

Then from my mum, Stealth and too much sense.

Very difficult to prove a case of forgetfulness here. As I earlier said on this issue, if she had brought forward the bracelet days after picking it up, hers would be a case of forgetfulness. But to be supposedly shown evidence that she picked it and said she forgot would be extremely difficult to prove. As a black person living in western society, the odds are already stacked against you. You are constantly on a race to prove your worth and integrity, which the locals are not.

This story looks cooked, garnished and unreal. If for any reason, the story was true, then, OP is an unserious fellow. Lack of adequate preparation is the Hallmark of unserious people. You have no business being in the filling station for fuel. Things like job interviews, visa appointment, high level meetings with consequences, make or mar contract appointments, I prepare in advance, even if it means getting a night of short let apartment or hotel closed to vicinity of where the interview would happen. I had done it in the past, where I paid for a hotel in VI to sleep over because of an important interview next day, instead of stressing myself to drive from mainland to island for a 9am appointment or interview

Nigerians and ignorance. People could still work in any age as long as the person is still fit and strong. I worked with a 74 year old man while I was in the UK. I have an 82 great grandmother from my village that is still working in a child care services with the city of Houston in the US.

The woman's situation is dicey and could be misinterpreted by people depending on one's perception of her action. If the bracelet stayed with her for a week and she voluntarily returned it, it could be accepted that she forgot it in her bag when she found it. But if she returned it when she was caught via CCTV and she returned it with an explanation that she forgot, then, it would be difficult for people to believe her. I pity her. It is bad to have a dent on your career, especially abroad. Seeking for jobs abroad requires serious disclosure on one's past and any dent on your previous work could spell doom for your career.

How come I couldn't find that account on X?

Which account on "X"? Trump doesn't use Twitter or "X" again. He talks from his own social media company called "Truth Social ". Even when Elon lifted the ban placed on Trump on Twitter, Trump, as a wise man, refused to return and instead, set up his own social media.

Stupid demand!!!! Why didn't you issue the same order to Buhari? BAT is not going to end anything, the same way he would not be able to end "sit-at-home" in the East. The North should take measures to end the banditry. The East should also rise up and end the sit at home but the president needs to release Kanu so that the real criminals causing mayhem in the name of Kanu would be apprehended

They all look petit and under age to be graduating from secondary school

UNDER THE WATCH OF JUBRIL AMINU A OIL MINISTER OVER 80% of oil blocks were reportedly handed over to Northerners

That is what we shall remember him for

Stop explaining anything to those guys above. What you pointed were the things Prof. Aminu did. He was too sentimental in his approach, if you were opportuned to listen to some of his comments. The other Minister of Education, Professor somebody Liman, I have forgotten his first name, came and messed up everything to the extent that he made comments about Southern Nigeria having a "mad" rush for Western Education. There are some comments unbeffiting of a serving Minister

The fencing contract should be handed over to an Israeli construction firm. They are very good at putting up boundary fence with good security surveillance systems.

AIG get height o

I hope that some people within the ranks and files of the armed forces are not informants to the herders. I have the feeling that there is a mole that would be leaking sensitive military activities to the marauders

SMH on the comments above - Nigeria subsidiary of MTN is managed by Nigerians and not South African people. The Nigerian CEO should put on his thinking cap and implement far reaching business ideas with positive outcome in the market they serve. MTN South African has not done anything wrong. You will see the top executives and senior managers in MTN Nigeria with their pot bellies, cruising in SUV with zero product knowledge on how to serve their immediate market.

PDP members are in serious dilemma about Wike - when he was single-handedly sponsoring the party, the party big wigs were in Abuja eating his money and singing his praises - they allowed him to keep changing the leadership of the party because he was the one funding the party - he even hosted the national convention of the party for the selection of its presidential flagbearer in 2019. As the governor of Rivers state, Wike was the sole decision maker of the PDP. He funded PDP candidates in other states and was the rallying point for Obaseki during his rift with Oshimole, when APC denied him ticket. The behemoth they allowed to grow is about to consume them. Nevertheless, PDP is in Wike's hands.

People in the South do not know how maternal mortality has killed many mothers in Nigeria. The mortality rate in the South is not that big. When I served in the North, I could not count the number of times people within where I stayed as Corper passed away while giving birth. Two staff (laborers) of the firm I worked for lost their wives while giving birth. Maternal mortality is deeply entrenched in the North and I don't know why government have not taken it seriously.

They should invest that money in real estate

Real estate marketers are becoming another set of motivational speakers. You people would see a security man earning 50k and advice him to come and buy land and be paying "small small". At the end, the man would not have anything left in his pocket, wouldn't be able to feed himself and would be unable to sell the land as he has not completed payment. Make una dey fear God o

They should have added June 12 instead of wasting money and resources to announce another public holiday on June 12.

Naija sweet die. The country with the highest number of public holidays in the world

I hope say US and NATO no go place sanctions on Nigeria for honoring the friendly game.

The West is doing everything to isolate Russia, including using sports.

This one enter, abeg. Wiked Wike, finishing Amaechi . Amaechi's worse nightmare.

I no see any smiling chinko face in the photograph

It's quite sad that majority of Igbos do not understand or know who were/are the heroes of Biafra. Many are busy celebrating Kanu and other modern Biafra "agitators ". Why not put the pictures of brave Biafran soldiers that died defending the cause of the resistance? Pictures of Professors Kenneth Dike, Eni Njoku, Kalu Ezira and others; Christopher Okigbo, Frederick Forsyth, Bruce Mayrock, UNICEF, CARITAS, Red Cross; World Council of Churches - these were organisations that saved Igbos from mass starvation; People like Mazi Mbonu Ojike, Dr. M.I Okpara, Okokon Ndem were all heroes. The then Presidents of Ivory Coast, Gabon, Zambia, Tanzania (Julius Nyerere), Haiti, Kenya and others that gave the nascent Republic a diplomatic recognition.

And he was still allowed to dress in that designers suite?

Someone that has continued to threaten the entire region and turned SE into a lawless and potential bankrupt fiefdom in Achebe's words by his reckless statements.

musazulyadain:
Obi should just merge with SDP and PDP and other stranded party to claim power.

Which power?

Obi should play politics the Nigerian way to even have a glimpse chance of success. You don't come to the devil's dinning table and wearing white.

Obi and Atiku had their chances in 2023 and blew it away. If Obi had agreed to pair Atiku in 2023, they would have won and Atiku would have potentially prepare Obi for 2031. Politics is not by "gragra" or "I too know ". Its better to serve a master, pay your dues and get positioned for higher power than to throw yourself into the ring when you are less prepared. Nigeria's politics is different from the politics in other climes. You have to study the intricacies and how to take any advantage. The Nigerian electorates are not the only ones that determines electoral outcomes.

As it is now, nothing will stop BAT till 2031. The man has proven himself to be a "good " and "effective " politician, by Nigerian standards.

Mark my word.

B4 2027 shetima will take over...

Mark my word again

I have marked your word. So, for your mind, BAT will not be alive till 2027 or you believed that he would be impeached by the national assembly that is being controlled by his loyalists? You better pray for BAT to complete his tenure because I don't see Shettima being any better. The VP, sometimes, looks clueless. BAT is 100% better in terms of cognitive ability. Do not because of perceived hatred for BAT jump from fire to frying pan. Shettima will not be any better o!!

The dude is lucky that it is within a friendly territory. Let it not swim across to enemy territory or else

BAT is not GEJ and will never be!!! The odds against GEJ were massive.

BAT is more politically experienced than GEJ and he will never allow any repeat of 2015

The former FCT Minister, Mallam Adamu Muhammad should be arrested and charged for gross incompetence. For 8 year, under Buhari, he was the FCT Minister and never commissioned any project. What did he do with the huge allocations to the FCT during his time? Sadly, Buhari was aloof and unconcerned while members of national assembly with oversight functions over FCT affairs were after contracts to execute nothing. Both the house committee on FCT and Senate committee on FCT were complicit in the mismanagement of FCT under Buhari

Nothing indecent about the dressings I am seeing. These are adolescents kids. Nothing to worry.

......And he is being referred to as a "Bar tender".

Och77:
Why was the name of the Divisional Police Officer conspicuously absent in this report? Could he be from the South?

I think DPO may have come from the other side. In order to avoid more commotion and any ethnic coloration to the whole issue, the name was hidden in the report.

Attention seeker! Proud and arrogant.

I am NOT your fan.

Do not just quote me

I do not like why some fathers or mothers would come to a wedding to announce that her daughter is a "virgin". You do not need to tell the world the sexual state or purity of your daughter during her wedding day. It could be embarrassing, though. I attended one wedding, a wealthy man from my village. He announced publicly that he was giving her daughter the latest Toyota corolla because she "maintained" her virginity till marriage. I may be wrong but I considered that unnecessary. Some do all these as way of telling the world that their daughter is a very descent and pure girl.

Blood brothers wasted their lives while the woman lives on. Men be wise

The man would also be heading to jail for a potential life imprisonment while the woman moves on to the next suitor or to whoever would fund her new shop.
