MrUchenna1:
My 37-year-old son got married without my permission. How can I teach him a lesson?

You sound like a controlling and authoritative person, guess thats the reason your son chose to sideline you in making this important decision. Imagine you trying to teach your matured married son a lesson 😂.

Because you are his father so he should get permission from you to get married. This your post doesn't sound well to me. All your son needs from you is your blessing not your permission or approval.

Don't make things worse.

It's positive news that the Lagos state government has reopened the Alayabiagba market in Ajegunle after addressing environmental concerns. Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab's commitment to enforcing sanitation laws is commendable. It's essential for markets to maintain cleanliness and follow regulations to ensure the well-being of both traders and customers.

Politics / Re: FG May Pay N1.68tn Fuel Subsidy, Marketers Forecast N900/litre by Freeko4: 8:44am On Sep 22, 2023
The government's handling of petrol subsidies has indeed been a matter of concern. The Executive Director rightly points out the lack of sincerity in both intentions and actions. It's troubling that the NNPC appears to overstep its boundaries and disseminate half-truths. The situation raises questions about the authority behind arbitrary deductions for subsidy payments, especially after the President's declaration of removal. This situation reminds us of the 2020 probe into questionable NNPC withdrawals. Additionally, the lack of official statements regarding subsidies while international crude prices and the exchange rate surge suggests we're effectively back in a subsidy regime.

It's crucial for the government to be clear and decisive, but more importantly, its actions should be guided by technically sound policies, public consensus, and administrative feasibility. Building a democracy centered on public trust and accountability is a fundamental necessity, and it's disheartening to see these issues persist in the government's policies and actions.

Religion / Re: Can A Genuine Christian Guy Plait His Hair? by Freeko4: 1:37pm On Sep 17, 2023
Glory2DLamb:


Israel wanted to be like the cultures around them. Where did it lead them to? To captivity, to death and alienation from Jehovah.
What makes you think that the outcome will be different today?
God is not compelling anyone to become Christian. If you want to be a Christian, then God has given us his Word.
I keep wondering that people who present your kind of argument don't pour water into their tank instead of petrol or diesel since there is water everywhere.


From a Christian standpoint, the historical account of Israel's journey in the Old Testament serves as a lesson about the importance of faithfulness and obedience to God's commands. The consequences faced by Israel were a result of their disobedience and turning away from God, not simply their desire to adopt elements of other cultures.

Today, Christians believe that faith in Jesus Christ is a personal choice and that God does not compel anyone to become a Christian. Instead, Christians believe in sharing the message of God's Word and the teachings of Jesus with others in the hope that they might accept and embrace the faith willingly.

The analogy of pouring water into a tank meant for petrol or diesel is metaphorical and not directly related to religious beliefs. It's important to approach matters of faith with an open heart and respectful dialogue, recognizing that people have diverse beliefs and perspectives.
Religion / Re: Can I Still Go To Church After Having Sex On A Sunday Morning? by Freeko4: 11:16am On Sep 17, 2023
stanlink:
Hello I'm just think if I will get salvation if I indulge in sexual activities early on a Sunday morning before going for service, the thought of guilt is all over my head although I'm married someone please advise

Salvation is a complex theological concept that varies among different Christian denominations and beliefs. It typically involves faith in Jesus Christ, repentance of sins, and a commitment to living a life in accordance with Christian principles. Engaging in sexual activities, even on a Sunday morning before service, is generally considered a matter of personal morality and conscience.

If you are feeling guilt or conflicted about your actions, it's important to remember that Christianity often emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness through sincere repentance. You can turn to prayer, seek guidance from a spiritual leader or counselor, and reflect on your actions in the context of your marriage and personal beliefs.

Ultimately, salvation is a matter of faith and relationship with God, and it's up to your personal beliefs and convictions to navigate your path. Talking to a trusted spiritual advisor or counselor within your specific Christian tradition may provide you with more specific guidance and support in addressing your feelings of guilt.

ebubeson:
If you check some churches, you may see guys plaiting their hair. You may notice such amongst the instrumentalists, drummers, bass guitar players etc.
The question is, should a genuine Christian guy Plait his hair?

To me, it is not a good appearance for a genuine Christian guy. Such appearance cannot be easily used to preach, and it may not allow sinners to be convinced to repent.

The question of whether a genuine Christian guy should plait his hair is a matter of personal interpretation and cultural context. Different Christian denominations and individuals may have varying beliefs and practices regarding appearance and grooming.

In many Christian communities, appearance is seen as a matter of personal conviction and not a strict religious requirement. Some may argue that one's hairstyle does not define their faith or ability to preach the Gospel, while others may hold conservative views on grooming.

Ultimately, the decision to plait one's hair or choose a particular hairstyle should be based on individual beliefs, personal conviction, and the cultural norms of their specific Christian community. It's important to remember that Christianity encompasses a wide range of interpretations and practices, and there is no universally correct answer to this question.

Adejobi's response raises important questions about the challenges young Nigerians face with police extortion. It highlights the issue of corruption within law enforcement and the pressure on individuals with limited means of income. However, his comments also underscore the need for systemic reforms and improved policing practices to address these issues effectively and protect the rights of all citizens.

It's important for NLC to consider their options and consult with the different unions they represent before proceeding with the protest. Taking the time to reach a consensus on the next course of action can lead to a more effective and unified approach.

NLC while they strategies, they should also understand that this protest is needed to put government in check, if they can achieve their goals without a protest it is also welcomed..

Phones / Twitter Is Refusing To Pay Google For Cloud Services. by Freeko4: 10:01pm On Jul 01, 2023
Twitter is refusing to pay Google for cloud services. Here’s why it matters, and what the fallout could be for users


Amid an ongoing cost-cutting effort, Twitter has now refused to pay the bills to renew its multi-year contract with Google Cloud, Platformer has reported.

We’ve all heard of “the cloud” – but what does it have to do with Twitter? And more to the point, what will the consequences be for Twitter users if Google Cloud pulls the plug on the platform?

What are cloud computing services?
To put it simply, “the cloud” is an assembly of computing resources that are remotely accessible over the internet. These resources are leased out to internet-connected organisations so they don’t have to buy and maintain their own.

In Twitter’s case, these resources include storage space for very large quantities of data, as well as a suite of programs that perform various operations on these data, as agreed upon in the contract. All of this takes place across a global network of physical servers.

Cloud computing is a convenient and cost-effective business model, which has gained much favour from enterprises large and small.

Currently, a handful of players dominate this market. In the lead is Amazon Web Services (AWS) which holds about 32% of the market. Amazon became the first cloud provider in 2006 and has since established a comfortable lead over its rivals, Microsoft Azure (23%) and Google Cloud (10%).

Reliability and scalability are perhaps the most important requirements a company will have of its cloud service provider. And when it comes to reliability, “redundancy” is key.

Redundancy means that if one data centre goes down, there are multiple others with duplicate data that can seamlessly step into service. And if the quantity of user data is high in one particular data centre, the extra load can be farmed out to another. In this way, peak traffic periods can be managed without loss of performance.

What might happen if Google pulls the plug?

It seems Twitter is at loggerheads with its cloud provider, Google Cloud. The company is reportedly disputing its Google Cloud bill as it seeks to renegotiate its contract with Google.

The issue appears to be rooted in a disagreement over service quality and performance. Twitter doesn’t think it’s getting value for money, and is withholding the latest payment in its US$1 billion contract with Google Cloud.

Under the contract, Google Cloud hosts many of Twitter’s trust and safety services. If the disagreement isn’t resolved by the end of the month, and if Twitter severs ties with Google Cloud, this could seriously threaten its ability to fight spam, remove child sexual abuse material and generally protect accounts.

Google also currently allows Twitter users to sign up with their Google account. And Twitter profiles are highly ranked in Google searches, by virtue of Twitter’s close ties with Google. This favoured status could be in jeopardy if the two companies can’t come to terms.

Apart from Google Cloud, Twitter also has a multi-year cloud computing contract with AWS to offer a host of functions. According to reports, it has also withheld payments from Amazon in the past and owed some US$70 million in bills as of March. Amazon responded by threatening to withhold payments for advertising it runs on the platform.

Why is Twitter refusing to pay?

The dispute can perhaps be understood as yet another attempt by Twitter to radically reduce operating costs. It’s a a trend that began late last year when Elon Musk acquired the company for US$44 billion.

Musk, who just appointed former NBC Universal advertising executive Linda Yaccarino as Twitter CEO, has implemented a suite of cost-cutting measures since the takeover – among these, the firing of more than half of the company’s 7,500 employees.

Looking at the big picture, we see Musk in the throes of trying to make Twitter a leaner, more efficient business.

Cracking down on malicious misuse

At stake in this dispute are services that help keep Twitter free of malicious, dangerous and offensive content. Twitter’s battle against this content, as well as against spam and bots, has been ongoing. While it’s difficult to predict the outcome of the dispute with Google, it’s likely Twitter will take whatever course of action helps the company save money.

That could mean moving those services to a different provider, or retaining Google Cloud’s services but on more favourable terms. Another possibility (although less likely) is for Twitter to migrate those particular services in-house where it will have more control. But this would also require spending and human resources to manage the data.

In a worst-case scenario, Twitter may collapse or destabilise if certain elements within it go offline. Aside from Twitter trolls, this outcome would be in nobody’s best interest. So it’s more likely Twitter and Google Cloud will find a mutually agreeable way forward.

Yes, you can link your bank cards to the Google Play Store to make purchases and download apps. By adding your bank card information to your Google account, you can conveniently and securely make transactions through the Play Store.

I know its a difficult task linking Nigeria cards to play store, Now Nigeria cards can be added to your Google store.

I recently linked my Gtb and alat master card to google store and was able to subscribe for some premium stuff.

Note: both cards are linked to a naira account.

Go give it a try, Good luck
