These accidents most times are avoidable if motorists are patient. They're always in a hurry to nowhere. During or immediately after a rainfall should be a time where road users should take it very slowly but in Nigeria it's a different case.
virginboy1: hmmm...They wont pressure you with good job connections ooo, they wont pressure you with lucrative business deals ooo, they wont pressure you with sure gigs...
But once it comes to marriage, you see pressure every where.
Mine was in 2019 at Umunna, Bende LGA, Abia state. Enjoyed it because I usually stay in the camp clinic attending to the sick corp members and even soldiers. It was flexing. No stress. The army commandants normally come to the camp clinic to gist with us. Our food are brought to the clinic for sharing and most times, we don't eat much of it. We attend to any event we like in the camp and go at our convenience.
Government should increase the allowance for corp members if actually they want this scheme to succeed. The present economy is nothing to write home about and it's negatively affecting the corp members. Even some female corp members from poor homes resort to following men around town just to survive because of the meagre allowance.
This NGFs proposed sharing formula is total nonsense cropped from sense of lazy and unproductive mindset. The southerners are claiming that the north is cheating them yet they can't even push this all-important bill even when they have a supportive president currently at the helm of affairs. By now, I think civil society organisations and support groups should have been raising there voices in support of the president but they're all quiet as if they're hypnotized. This is an indication that Nigeria might not progress. People don't want a system that will make them accountable and work hard as obtained in other serious nations. I'm not a Tinubu's fan but I think his tax bill is what we really need at this point in time to push this country forward. But if Nigerians especially southerners don't fight for this bill to succeed, nobody should blame the president in any apparent future economic woes.
CaveAdullam: 1. When you have verified that someone genuinely loves you, don't break that person's heart. Choose death rather. Or, end the relationship early.
Because not all lovers are weak. Betrayal may trigger their vindictive instinct and they'll come for your jugular like a vampire.
2. Don't bank on promises.
See promises as mere talk. Never abandon your path because someone promised you a brighter future.
3. Have a clear map of what you are doing. Have a plan.
What do you want in life?
Once you answer that question, you'll be able to see all the channels that lead to your destination.
4. Don't care what people will say.
They will mock you. They will ridicule you.
Don't pay attention to their statements. Follow your plan to the end.
5. Seek truth.
If your heart is always in the pursuit of truth, you'll gain knowledge and learn wisdom.
You don't need a preacher or counselor to constantly be on your doorposts advising you.
6. Appreciate beauty.
Stay away from ugliness of any form. Ugliness will always make you dwell on the negative side of life.
Appreciate beautiful nature. Stare at beautiful people and architecture.
7. Be kind.
8. Eye for eye. Tooth for tooth.
Don't allow criminals or sociopaths to go scot-free.
Forgiveness should come after punishment.
9. Learn to see the light in people.
No one is utterly useless.
However, don't pay attention to the unrepentant fool.
10. Learn to provide value.
Value will give you what you want or attract you to the people you admire.
11. Don't beg for food.
Don't beg for money.
Better to die poor and broke than to become a beggar.
Refuse to see begging as your last option.
Your ego should block you from begging.
It is better to do the dirtiest and most dangerous work to put food on your table than beg people.
Begging will hinder you from creating value and achieving freedom.
12. Always be optimistic.
No matter how tragic your travails are, be optimistic that one day you'll overcome.
Pessimism is a joy spoiler. You'll end up corrupting your soul and never see good in yourself or others.
13. Don't be an introvert.
Be part of a community.
No man is an island. Among others, you'll find a solution to some of your problems.
14. Learn to give. Be hesitant to receive.
The giver is always higher than the receiver.
Givers are lords over receivers. Just as it is better to be a lender than a borrower.
15. Dress nice. Smell nice.
Luxury isn't only in the cost. How you wear luxury matters.
Hardly anybody will ask you the cost of your shoes and clothes. So, you don't need to break the bank.
16. Life is a marathon. But it's better to run like a cheetah than walk like a snail.
Resources in life are scarce; first come, first serve.
Make smart moves always.
17. Avoid procrastination.
What needs to be done today should not be carried over to tomorrow. Because tomorrow might be too late.
18. Think in years, not days, weeks, or months.
This will help you know how to calibrate your time and work.
If I continue doing this for 5 years where will I be in the next 5 years?
It's important to curtail your foolishness early.
19. Hope is not a strategy.
Good work is.
Make sure you are doing something meaningful instead of wishing for a pool of Bethsaida miracles.
Those who work have no fear of the future.
20. Value people that value you.
Don't waste time on people who see you as trash. Except you are making money from them. However, dignity is better than the price of labor.
21. Don't just learn a skill.
Learn a skill you can easily leverage before the big success.
22. Humans are cunning and manipulative. Even you.
Learn to understand the game. And learn to protect your integrity.
23. People want you to fail. Because your failure will prove their points against you.
It's more reason you must work hard to prove them wrong.
They are your motivating factor for success, albeit from a contradictory angle.
24. Don't be afraid of failure.
You'll fail. So, allow yourself to fail.
Failure is part of progress. Life circumstances are not linear. It's haphazard and random.
Marry for a purpose. Marry to fulfill your life purpose.
Marry to grow your finance, career, business empire, political career and wealth.
The greatest mistake any man will ever make is marrying because of romantic love. It is what kept so many men and families poor from generation to generation.
Marrying for love will keep you poor and limited. If you want to go far in life, train your heart not to fall in love or marry for the sake of love. Love should be among the last reasons you should marry anybody. Romantic love is a tool designed to keep people controlled. Romantic love will blind your eyes from reality and will make you overlook vital qualities that determines the future.
This is the crap you people sell, I have met a very very repulsive woman that has a knack for being a contentious woman, most men she has tangled with LEAVE her after couple of months, And what does she do? she from one prayer house to another trying "make findings" which of her family member that has tied her matrimonial home down, and sure enough these so called spirit filled houses point to her great grand uncle's dog that had no tail.
When Jesus said "My people perish because of ignorance" do you think he was talking about everything to be spiritual?
God who created this earth set some rules in place, but people want to cherry pick their own rules, and then use people like you to override the rules they CHOOSE to ignore, and that has consequences, it doesnt work that way. It never does, it never will.
Haydens: Marriage in this generation is a scam. Every woman is always using a man in one way or the other if the man is not wise, check it out, if she's not using you as an attention giver she's using u as an emotional tampon or she's using you as a financial mugu or shes keeping you incase if her now boyfriend doesn't later marry her, or she's keeping you as her second option or she's using you to pass through life e.g exam success, promotion, finances or she's keeping you as a free food man especially when she's hungry then she'll remember you or she's keeping you as her status viewer e.t.c the list goes on and on.
If you know about women nature you won't like them neither will you hate them rather you'll remain indifference. They don't love rather they are pure opportunists. Every women that have existed on this planet earth are opportunists, they can't love and dont know how to do it. What's happening in the west gives a perfect definition of how women are opportunists i.e marry a rich man or a celebrity then divorce him in a few months or years then claim half of his properties and monthly allowance that she didn't suffer with him for when he was struggling.
The only love that women have is SELFISH-LOVE.
Finally, You can't be wise and be in love at the same time.
advanceDNA: They should hit the nail on the head and stop sugar coating it..... same thing happened in the US.. ..the police told them straight up in to stop using the police to create false pattern of abuse against their husband that they will weaponize later to gain their husband's properties or government benefits...
MrBrownJay1: some of these women are really CLUELESS about us men.... CLUE #1 a man asking "how was your day" just want to make small conversation and dont really care about your day. we all know that such question can end up being a 30mins monologue about what your colleagues did and other boring stuff that men really dont give a fukc about. na so we just nod in silence as your day went.
CLUE #2 the question "have you eaten" is equally the same. as much as a man will gladly buy a snack, the minute you say "no" and start to order enough food to feed the whole population of Surulere, thats when there is a problem.
CLUE #3 whatever a man asks you, it doesnt have to always end up in some issue that can only be solved with money...is it? what about answers like:"my day was great, thank you" OR "i just ate and am full, thank you" or " i can pay for my own Tfare, gracias" etc? a man does not want to hear about your financial problems, just like you ladies dont want to hear his financial problems. so lets stop the hypocrisy! the minute you start talking about your money issues during a date (where you guys went to enjoy yourselves), then thats considered UNDERCOVER BILLING.... and men who fall for it should be flogged mercilessly in a public court!
There was a story I heard from a Catholic faithful who explained how these rev fathers rent houses for there lovers and visit often for knacks. Some even bring in girls claiming they're their relatives inside the parish house and knack them at night. These girls can be brought from very far places so they can't be easily known.
Gadafii: The land on which the dangote refinery is sited was paid for with $100million, those who claim to own Lagos didn't receive shingbai😂😂😂
The Lagos cabal of land grabbers of which tilinbu is one of pocketed everything, while the hungry batidiots come online to defend them with limited data subscription
When next you hear them say "go back to your region or state" ask them which part of Lagos or southwest their papa come from😁😁🤝🤝
Na the cane Dem take flog landmark Dem wan use flog dangote so
lol. Una kill person with laugh for this nairaland
Strange things are happening ....similar thing happened in my village some years ago....I use my korokoro eyes witness am.
Wife put to bed, her sister went to do the omugwo at her place.....during her time helping her sister out, we no know say she and her sister husband don dey lash.....
Story short, she got pregnant, and the man came to our village to do traditional marriage.
Meaning say he don marry 2 sisters.... Omo, see how they were dancing during the trad, with reckless abandon.
franchasofficia: Nothing concern Yoruba concern economy, Yorubas are only good in media propaganda, political activism, and maybe legal representation, but when it comes to economy, trade, commerce and money, it belongs naturally to the Igbos, but tribalism and wickedness made Buhari and Tinubu to sideline Igbos in those critical economic sectors and see where it has landed Nigeria?
Check when Soludo and Ngozi Okonjo Iweala were in charge of Nigeria's economy and CBN, at all at all, Nigeria's economy was booming against all odds
You're not wise than the man, he's talking from experience, that's an Alpha male talking not a SIMP
The last time I carried responsibility for my head I suffer am for 2yrs, abi make the lady get make we spend am together. No be say I go overwhelmed myself with burden of responsibility and the woman go move on after one don kpai
The owner of the house I'm staying is late, his wife remarried already and handover the care of the house in the hand of her new husband brother, what a man hustle to build?
This one na doctor's matter. This case would definitely lead to the weakening of NMA as a Union which would gradually reduce there influence in the healthcare polity.
Most unions in this country serve as a means to extort people.
NMA as a body seems to be a backbone which fights and protects the rights of doctors especially from the government.
They also serve as a Union used to fight other healthcare stakeholders.
UNNGRADUATEEE: I have worked in hotel when I was in Nsukka UNN. I worked in Golden valley hotel so I can relate to what you are saying. I caught the wife of a professor I know bringing a young guy there for sex. Omoh, she didn't recognized me.
lol. Prof dey read book and guys dey hammer him wife
Callosobruchus: Hehehe...she wants me to come to Abj fess before we start to negotiate.Shebi all di decent ones wey dey my area no get wetin you get? You don't need to have an eye problem to wear life's medicated glasses.Played or be played, and if you don't like the game of playing people always be sharp enough to know that people are always willing to play you.
Bobby4090: This shows that Lagos state is being held hostage and blackmailed by people of certain origin. Every other state in Nigeria is free to demolish infractions in order to build but once it comes to Lagos state government, you'll see some people shouting that the government is heartless for destroying people's investment. If it was in Anambra or Imo etc, that Landmark beach would have gone by now if there was an important major road to be built. But because it's in Lagos, you'll see Peter Obi and their group shouting. Obi that cannot comment on anything in the SE now sees Lagos as his home that must work according to his feelings.
Though I'm Igbo but I reflected on this your comment
MisterKings: Truth be told, the fact that some look down on others and others feel inferior is not their fault. In school, we have all been wired to compete with each other. You carry 1st they clap for you, you carry 13th they sing olodo rapata. Because of the myopic mindset that it has to be educational success, sidelining every child's God-given talent and gift.
You grow up with knowledge that does not fit into reality 90% of the time and then those who were fortunate to have parents who saw the B.S, quickly swerved their kids in the right direction.
In the end, most of our parents did not know better. Some parents made the right decisions, and some were just plain naive but of course, they are parents, they were always right and it is what they PUSH us to do we will do. If we fail we are compared to others with the question....does he have 2 heads?
We are out now...away from home, trying to build our nests. We can make our own decisions now. But what decisions really? The foundation is flawed already. As it stands, It's already 3-0 and it's looking like injury time already.
Bad foundation 1 - 0 Poor education 2-0 Bad economy 3-0
Funny enough some of us are gifted with the instincts to know that something is wrong with the system. But we don't dare bring it up or we will be stigmatized.
I was 15, when I carried my 2 legs to IT fairs and seminars back in the day when my mates were chasing girls and looking for JAMB score. I was not even sure what I was listening to at these seminars I just knew, I liked the idea of having a laptop and doing something cool with it.
I felt IT was the future. I came and told my Dad I wanted to learn this computer thing, I wasn't entirely sure what it was then, but I just knew this was a good skill. My Dad told me to get inside and read my books and I should never talk to him about that nonsense ever again.
I usually loved to follow my instincts. I still wanted to go for the IT course, but it was expensive then, so I dropped the idea. But I did not give up. One term, I took my school fees and went to pay someone to teach me web design. The guy teach me small, and I no see am again.
So what I started doing was buy cafe time and browse the whole internet without any goal, just browsing here and there, downloading music. But that helped me learn to type and use the computer. That was how I achieved that without attending computer school.
But in the end, despite being one of the brightest students in the school, I ended up not attending the University because my Dad did not eventually take it serious.
I went on work as a factory worker, waiter, security, wasting my years as things turned even worse after my Father passed on.
But then one of those days, in my security job, a friend of mine just asked me to leave and come squat with him and from there I started grabbing skills related to the same IT.
I am a web designer now, but I am also a videographer, video editor, graphic designer, and photographer. But imagine if I had gone through with the skill I initially told my dad about, which I later learned was front-end development, where I for be now.
Some of my classmates who used to look up to me to copy at exam that year are doing way better than me. The girl I had a crush on, went on to marry a better man. Everyone moved on and it felt I was the only one behind.
Now, I am not really begging for food, but I have and still go through rough times and I know some of my mates that are way ahead of me financially, which face I won take say bro how far na, e don tey o.
So I just dey my lane, dey hustle wetin I fit. We all have different times and are on different lanes. That's what I have come to understand, man plans God laughs.
My brother I'm really touched and captivated by your analysis. Honestly that's even the major foundational problems we had and still having in our society today. Many of our parents did not even know better but will always have their way. Nevertheless we'll not give up because one day, the universe will tilt to our favour.
