I WISH LIFE COULD BE FAIR
If fairness prevails in all angles of life, I’m very sure peace will prevail, if you can understand what I deserve, what is meant for me and give it to me according to the rule of fairness, then it’s going to be peaceful to live with each other, but when you are not fair to me and decide to take advantage of me I will be left with just two options:
1. Fight you for what I deserve and take it by force which wouldn’t go well with you
2. If I’m incapacitated to fight you , I will have to bear grudges and wait for a day to take advantage of someone else, to the person I will be taking advantage of I have no justification , but to my conscience I’m justified so the cycle flows on like this.
I have a third option but won’t talk about it now.
I’ve looked at fairness from my own point of view, ponder on it trying to know why we all cannot be fair to each other, I’ve looked at multitudes and wonder if there’s going to be any problem if we are all fair with each other, but on a faithful day I got a reason to believe that none of us woke up one day and decide to choose an unfair attitude, what I realised was that it grows with us.
I’m a petty volley-ball player to say, neither a novice nor a pro, I encountered my coach in the school premises on a faithful afternoon, he called for my attention and instructed me that I should assembled all team members I can as well come across within two hours on the court, and that we are going to be playing a game with the staff team by sunset, I was very adamant of winning the game, to me it looks more or less like a training session, “staff” to say, I lied to myself, cos’ we lost the match in straight sets, but I learnt something that I’m sharing to you now.
The sports pavilion has various good sport facilities as a result of nipoga games that were held in my school, so after the games some available courts were used for five-aside football for interested individuals, even kids.
When the game was about to kick start, there was a staff who came with two kids(both sex), the female was very calm, sat down and watched her dad playing volley-ball, but the male was a potential sports ma who wanted to be busy as well, he looked up and saw some kids of his age playing football and went straight to them, but came back in couple of minutes dragging with his dad his position on the volley-ball court, asking why, the boy spoke with anger “those boys are stupid, they didn’t allow me to play football” I looked at the boy and read his thoughts to my understanding, he must have thought that, for those kids playing football on the court, there’s nothing holding him back to play with them, he walked up to them expecting them to be fair, but they looked at him, saw nothing so interesting for him to join them so they ignored him and he also couldn’t fight his way through o he had to go straight to his dad.
Boy: I want to play ball, can I join you?
Other boys: sure you can join us.
If things were to be fair, it should have gone like the conversation above, but they were not fair to him, they must have looked at him like, who knows this boy, whereas the poor boy couldn’t make himself known to them. “he couldn’t take my option one so he had to move on to the next option” so I wonder what the boy would do when he has his own chance of taking a pound of flesh from someone else why should I be fair to you? I owed them nothing, neither do they yet they were not fair to me, now I don’t owe you and neither do you owe me, so there is no crime if I’m not fair to you.
We owe each other nothing in this world, but even at that we should be fair to each other, my thought is that this attitude grows with us and only few of us takes the third option which is: 3. Accepting fate when someone is unfair to you, but as time moves on people who take this option tends to look like fools to us, but why?
When you are unfair to people, it’s not intentional when you are yet to realise to how unfair you are to people, but the moment you realise and you continue you are one of the most deadliest men on the planet earth.
The man who was unfair to you that changed your orientation about being fair to people might not have been at fault, because his act might have been unintentional, so your reason for being unfair might be unjustified, even if the man did it with full intentions, why can’t we choose the third option? Accepting fate.
We all talk about negative circumstances that surrounds us, but I must tell you big things starts small either positive or negative, now we feel like e can change the world, and to us it looks impossible, to me it’s very possible; you’re asking how? But we should remember the story of the man who wanted to change the world but couldn’t, who now had to descend to make the change, world-continent-country-state-home town-family, he went through this chain and yet couldn’t make a change, until he decided to change himself, it can only begin with us and would later manifest into the world at large, now let us start making changes right from our inside, let’s wait for no one to mend our wounded hearts for us, forget your loss and start being fair to everyone, break the chain of unfairness right from your own end, if we all can be fair to one another then we are all negative occurrence which I don’t want to mention details will come to an end.
Son of men are the most difficult creature to control on earth, we talk to each other, understand and reason together yet they don’t agree, only God can explain this portion, our problems lies in our hands just like our future lies in our hands, so we are the architect of our own fate, I’m saying this because 99% reasoning with me from the beginning ill still fail to be fair just for no reason, I just wish life was fair enough to make this things automatically well.

thousands of people never had school cert nor 1st degree but are employers to millions of people. when God decides to change your story from your present level to a higher and comfortable level, only then will you know that it is good to be persistent and fully trust Him. it only takes just a second for one's glory to transform.

This is nothing but UTTER RUBBISH!

Did all the above stop the looting and shenanigans going on in Govt?
Did it add any value to the average Nigerian?

Actually, it is "we" the people that encourage all these nonsense instead of focusing on "real issues of good governance".


We need to steer Buhari's Govt away from this era of "cronyism and patronage".

IMO, l think the Constitution should SEPARATE Religion from Politics.
Its a bad mixture, from day one.

A patriotic Nigerian shared this on facbook.
Most people felt GMB shouldn't have eaten while GEJ and others refused to touch their foods but trust Baba, he did justice to the food.

What are your thoughts?

for example., i am an agricultural Engineer.. we have problems designing a suitable yam harvester..

we cant use the idea of potato harvester because potatoes have a relative consistent shape..
Yams grows as they wish.. in every direction. thus, making it difficult to harvest..

we either come up with another idea or genetically improve our yams to give us a consistent shape..


u dig? those are the kind of tech i seek. and i am sure there are other africanized problems the white man cannot solve for us.. cos its nt their problem

kilokeys:
give us tech news on stuff like phones we can afford.. gadgets we access, africanized technology that would benefit the average Nigerian.. and u would see us visit..


dont give us crap about a device that can be used on mars. or some 4D drawing pen shi*t that aint feasible in a fvcking country that cant provide ELECTRICity 24/7


a crass number of mofos visit tech just to get cheat codes and freebies..

MissTechy:
Hello Everyone,

I recently took a survey and I noticed that Nigerians would love to comment on gossips blogs about other people's lives and not on tech information that can benefit them in their workplace or homes.

I am saying this because I know how hard it is to get comments on a tech blog given the fact that I run one (misstechy dot com), I have also searched top tech blogs in the country and noticed the same trend. Even noticed the trend on Nairaland, anytime a tech post is out on frontpage, people hardly comment or even view it.


Is it that the contents are boring or what?

Why would you choose to comment on other people's trouble but not on something that can benefit you in several ways -

tl.dr.

Stop spamming other threads with this topic and you'd get intelligent contributions.
Spamming with a serious minded thread as this would only reduce its educative value because it brings simple minds to the discussion.

where and which scenes does not cpmply with historical lines,?
He was only trying to explain it in his own ways.for example when moses(xtian bale)was leading the people and needed to cross the seA,the water body instead of being parted was taken up into the clouds and suspended and was later rained down as heavy water destroying pharaoh's army.
God too was portrayed through a child.

narcissism much.


People always fail to look at the bigger picture.

If One Central Force controls the universe what stops a manifestation in several forms.

Why must it be always about us?
Why can't we learn from the Mayans?
