 Family › Re: My Sister Wants To Quit Her Young Marriage. by gabicon: 4:35pm On Aug 24, 2021 |
2ndtimeuncle:First and most importantly she should get professional help. She should have done this immediately she found out about the baby and baby mama. Send a message to pastor Kingsley Okonkwo or praise fowowe. Your sister needs to face her new reality, telling her husband to stop seeing the baby mama is asking him to cut ties with his child, that child ties the whole family together, herself inclusive. She need to see the baby mama like cocaine or heroin and here husband the addict, person don't just quit drugs they have to go through rehabilitation and therapy to quit, that's what her husband needs. He will cry and repent this minute and the next minute he runs to his baby mama because he is hooked. |

GardenOfGod:The major issue here is not who controls the land, the major issue is we are still talking about grazing routes in 2021, the phenomenon of grazing routes belongs to the wild wild west era. If our cows have to walk 500km to remain same as they claim, can't we change the species of our cows? Our cows don't produce more milk, or meat or reproduce better than other species so why hold on to them? This cattle herding in Nigeria is nothing shy of land grabbing, these people are still trying to follow an old template that has no foothold in Morden times. 3 Likes |
| Jobs/Vacancies › Re: How Bad Is Unemployment In Nigeria by gabicon: 3:43pm On Aug 23, 2021 |
dblock:interesting question, there are a number of factors that contribute to unemployment. one of the biggest factors is religion influencing population growth, religion has messed a lot of things up, people who don't have the means give birth to children that they can't carter for, some of our religious and cultural beliefs frown against safe sex and contraception, the effect 20 years down the line is unemployment. Nigerians can be very religious, frowning at sex in the open but loving it in the secret. Another factor is the fact that our education system remains static, it never evolves, as of today technology has taken over most of the jobs our educational institutions are educating us on. so if one studies a course that is irrelevant to today's world, its only natural the opportunities will be minimal. We presently run an education system that was built during the industrial revolution to mass-produce people to manage mass-producing businesses, the currency of today's educational system is value innovation and critical thinking. Our lecturers teach us to cram information when we out to be taught how to think critically on how to approach and solve problems. This is the reason why our graduates are unemployable, they tell you what is written in the textbook when what you need is not in a textbook yet to be written by them. Education is key to making an impact in or world today, that bit we all know but what we are educated on is just as important as education itself, many of the courses in our institutions ought to be scraped, as of today we dont have institutions teaching software engineering, data science, user interphase design, 3d printing, artificial intelligence, bionic engineering, ballistics etc. The world does not live in the past the world lives in the future. Another issue is that we lack a concrete plan for most things in Nigeria, we plan per election cycle. we give lofty names to our plans like vision 2000, vision 2020 they all lack aim and objectives. Ideologically we have been programmed to despise small businesses, but all over the world most big businesses were small businesses that grew for over 20 - 50 years, we tend to think that if you don't work with shell and nnpc, and government or big businesses you don't have a job. Many family businesses that ought to have gone mega when passed to the next generation died. Go to China, India, the middle east, American businesses intergenerational some are in the fourth generation. So back to your question, unemployment is very high, the official numbers show that 11 of every 20 people are unemployed, I am 99% certain that that number is greatly understated. We ought to be in a civil war as we speak, thanks to our religious institutions that sell hope to the people we are still here. To exit this terrible situation we will have to retrain our people, that is where going to school comes in, it is easier to train someone who can read and write than one who can't. We need to train our people most especially to see opportunities, many foreigners are smiling to the bank in Nigeria while our people are in anguish. We need detailed national plans on the product and services we want the world to know us for and train our people to be the best in those jobs. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Omooba77:Most things in life are governed by rules and principles, these rules are created to give context to challenges encountered in the respective institution. Marriage is one of such institution the rule is that the man Loves the woman submits, so if you know you can't love your wife don't get married it's not by force, so also if you can't submit to your husband's don't marry. Human beings like to reap the benefits of an ideology but don't want to submit to the rules and regulations governing the ideology. A marriage is similar to any other institution that has a chief executive and director, the director can't claim equality with the CEO, the responsibilities are different, so also is marriage. 1 Like |
| Romance › Re: Marriage Phobia Killing Me Help by gabicon: 9:35am On Aug 11, 2021 |
larryeffizy1:The question you need to answer is ''what does marriage mean to you?'', whatever fear you are having at the moment is tied to the answer to this question. Some people view marriage as getting an ATM machine, others a sex mate, a few a puppet to control, another bondage, some an avenue to share life with someone etc. The minute you understand the purpose and power of marriage you will be able to decide on the perfect partner. Once you can differentiate marriage from your needs you will snap out of your fear. Secondly, marriage is not for everyone, success in marriage is confined to certain rules, if you cant leave by these rules then its best not to enter into marriage. 5 Likes |
| Christianity Etc › Re: Reno Omokri: What Boko Haram Is Doing, The Church Did 10 Times Worse by gabicon: 6:40am On Aug 08, 2021 |
JEWELofHELL:The comparison is an unfair balance, you are comparing mid civilization characterised by land grabbing to Morden civilization characterised by technology and innovation. This is an uneven balance, what was regarded as wealth in mid civilization was land, the more land you control the more powerful one was perceived, it wasn't only the church that grabbed land everyone did, religion was only a tool, a means to an end. There were not really trying to propagate religion, they were after land, religion was a justification for the evil they propagated. In the Morden era Land is bought or at best fought openly for, wealth and power is enshrined in technology and innovation. It is regarded as abnormal to kill people in their sleep to take over their land, it is abnormal to destroy people's crops when they are not in their farms. Different generations are characterized by both good and bad traits, correlating traits across generations can lead to very confusing results as a result of rate of change experienced across generation. 3 Likes |

LiveLifeHub:It all depends on how you view it, most parents don't go on summer breaks, they have to go to work, hence they need a place to keep their wards while they are away. With the rise in crime in our society, It might not be wise to ferry a child to an artisan or skilled person that you can't trust, in all honesty the person might not be bad but what of those hanging around the person? The last thing we need is a rape, molestation, bad influence etc. one of the best place to keep children occupied is summer school, they are in proximity with their pairs and they have supervision. It's good that children explore the world and the opportunity it brings but trust me our society doesn't give them these opportunities we just haven't evolved.

Andrew87:When you decide to spend your life with someone, you automatically accepted what ever baggage they come with. In essence you choose to embark on a road trip with someone who has 2 passenger that can't be left behind, you can't mid journey start complaining that your shock absorber can't carry the weight of the two extras. You ought to haves accessed your vehicle before you embarked on the journey in other words count the cost. You guys will have to pray and try harder the minute you married your wife you became a father, stop expecting a rich low life who ought to be responsible for his kids to assume your responsibility. Further more Mr ex wants to control the trajectory of your wife's life even though they are no longer together (I suspect your wife initiated the separation), your coming into the picture serves as a brick wall to that mission. The more you take from him the more solid grounds he has by law to file for their custody, should he win it will crush your wife, and you will end up with a broken woman and no kids. 1 Like |
| Politics › Re: PIB Would Permit Only Dangote Refinery, NNPC To Import Fuel by gabicon: 11:43am On Jul 12, 2021 |
MakotoShishio:Sometimes we need to see things from the lenses of a broader perspective. For decades our downstream sector was characterized by subsidiary fraud and fuel scarcity. PMB decided that since it was proving impossible to revitalise our refinery NNPC needed to be the sole importer and wholesale merchants of petrol, this initiative has solved a lot of problems, first the perception of subsidy theft has reduced, and secondly the product doesn't experience artificial scarcity at least in the past 2 years. The NNPC want to retain this model, this has informed their decision to invest in buying 20% stake in Dangote refinery. They probably hope this move will help them retain the right to price control of products thereby avoiding scarcity, there will also be reduction in freight cost as a fraction of the cost of petroleum products is incurred in transportation and also help Dangote by making sure his plant is not starved of raw material (crude oil). The question becomes what happens to the other refinery that come up before or after Dangote? This is the beauty of being the biggest and the earliest to enter into the market your operations create a barrier to entry. If I were to setup a refinery in Nigeria I will situate it in cross River state and my target market will be Cameroon. |

Revere27:The misconception you have is that a skill needs to be learnt in the four walls of an institution, well it doesn't, I started a laser cutting business at the heat of the pandemic, I learnt all I could from YouTube, Facebook forum, other forums and research, I moped up my savings and got money from family as support. It a little over a year now and I have made sales of more than a million naira. From my earnings the machine is already paid for and I'm already looking at getting another machine before the end of the year. What's my point, let's encourage people to start from were they are with what they have. A smart phone and internet most times is more than enough to start learning a skill. Most times what makes a business idea succeed is not money, it is strategy and commitment. I've seen people given $50k and have nothing to show for it, I've also seen people bootstrap with mostly no capital, they outsource their ideas and make money, over time they can afford to buy whatever their business needs. It all about perspective is the glass half full or is it half empty? 2 Likes |

In fact most time the purpose for our live unravel as we set our hands and minds to do other things. I will advise that you get some set of skills in fact you should have gotten one for every year you were in school. You need to find out what you are good at doing, you can also ask those close to you about what they think you are good at, start from there by learning a skill that enhances what you are good at.

Is it just an opportunity or it aligns with her career goals? Is she going to be giving more time at this new place of work? What impact will it have on her raising a family? Would it require you stepping up as a partner and father? Your marriage is young, how will you both manage your sexual and emotional needs? And lastly how doest it affect you?

Most importantly you folks need to pray about it, $24k a year increase can be a blessing or a trap, count the cost before making the decision. 1 Like |

You use very little energy to get results in your gifting, so when you actually put in a lot of energy in it, you get great results. So if you are gifted in providing retail services, food stuff business is an option, if you are gifted in creating memories through pictures or videos, then photography it is.

First of all I need you to understand that you are living in the past, it was in the 80's people finished school and got jobs there after. The dispensation we are in is the skill dispensation, what you can do is what will cater for you. So no point feeling sorry for yourself, you need to learn a skill asap. Your friend is barely making a living with his laundry business, you don't expect him to hand you constant checks. Start with a target, like financial independence in 2 years, outline what skills you need to learn, find out what it takes to learn such skills. Avoid capital intensive learning, be willing to work for free to learn and master a skill. People who are broke still have money sometimes, so save up to start your business, be hard on yourself in this regard. It's going to be hard initially and easier as the journey progresses so stay strong and always remember your target. 2 Likes |

Chisaedhor:It all depends on how she heals, normally you have to wait 6 weeks for all the flow to stop and contraction to happen. Taking care of a new born takes a lot of energy, every extra time your wife has will most likely be used to get some rest, lack of energy and sleep can cause emotional imbalance so you need to be understanding when she doesn't want to have sex. The fact of the matter is that if you want her to be in the mood for sex you need to get involved with the baby and take off some burden away from her. You can have here express breast milk in a bottle during the weekend and you care for the child while she sleeps, you can run shifts at night in caring for the child, you can employ a nanny to assist her etc. 1 Like |

The question that you should be asking yourself is how well have I positioned myself to solve other people's problems? Do you have the prerequisite skills, work ethics, relationships, partnership etc. The day we can tag an individual a success or failure is the day they die, until death we all have the opportunity to make adjustments and changes to achieve success.

It's increasingly becoming difficult to identify business persons in Nigeria who make their money in a legit way. I ask this question most of the time, "why don't Nigeria business people write books on how they achieve success in business like their foreign counterparts?". The answer is simple, there is a lot of cutting corners in the journey, someone gets a loan of 95 billion naira that he is unwilling to pay back, while there is someone needing 10million naira that he would sure pay back but is classified as not credit worth. We run a broken system in Nigeria that benefits a social political class, the reason why things are presently falling apart is because this class has not allowed the monies to trickle down. 28 Likes 3 Shares |
