Studied hard. No partying, no girls, focused and religious.
Localemperor: Any time I see all this teenagers of nowadays being unnecessary difficult and naughty, imagine a girl of fifty telling how ineffective postinor 2 has become or a boy of 16 who is always high on hard drugs.
During my teenage age ( secondary school) I was hawking corn for my Mom, I had a lot of responsibilities despite not being the first child. I can't remember teenagers that are this wasteful during my time.
Always glad to see men take an evidence-based approach to decisions about marriage.
Say no to societal pressure.
Take it a step further and speak with divorced men, happily married men, and single men, never married, aged 50-70.
Interview both the rich and the poor and then take your final decision based on your conclusions.
Mikuni: When I look at the married men around me, I no longer see the need of having a wife.
I discovered something shocking, a few months ago:
Most men die before their wives, and most likely before their children finish university education. Look at your dad's friends, how many of them are still alive to enjoy the fruits of their parental labour?
Before marriage, you go through a lot of stress in choosing the right woman (God help you, if she's not greedy and demanding) you spend a fortune on marriage, only to be 'eating' one type of food till you die. If you're not careful, you go beg for sex tire. You think I'm lying? Ask my neighbor who begs to put the tip of his toothpick inside his wife for just a minute.
Now, you're married, you must provide for the rent, bills, school fees, in-law expenses etc You must not forget to keep extra savings for health issues for cases like complications in child delivery, antenatal care, naming ceremony, baby materials, clothings etc
If you're unlucky to find yourself in financial difficulty after marriage, pray your wife is the understanding type, else you'd deal with a nagging woman, the type King Solomon told us to avoid staying in the same house with, and rather hide on your rooftop.
If your woman is easily driven to anger, and not rational in thinking, you're in serious trouble. You may end up being stabbed or poisoned. A lot of men have died this way.
So dear men, why waste your time and money? Be smart!
I leave you with this Bible passage: "Wealth and riches are inherited from parents, but a good wife comes only from the Lord."
Gistmedia10: In a recent video, actor Kunle Afolayan and his daughter are seen dancing in a manner that has stirred up a heated debate. Many viewers believe the dance was inappropriate, with some suggesting it resembled a romantic dance rather than a father-daughter moment.
Is it appropriate for a father and daughter to dance this way?
Righteousness2: People should be mindful of what they do. The devil is out to snatch souls to hell through every available means.
Standing with ISRAEL not Political. It is BIBLICAL. Standing with ISRAEL is standing with GOD ALMIGHTY. It does not matter who says what or who makes noise here and there.
ISRAEL is GOD signet on the Face of the Earth. Fighthing against ISRAEL is Fighting against GOD. You will end up killing yourself.
IntelChief: Met this gril recently, so beautiful it was almost like a miracle she accepted we date.
After some time she started coming over to my place and she is a very good cook and house keeper too.
She turns out be quite good too in the other room. But I observed one single and unpleasant fault in her. Her down there stinks like hell. At the beginning I thought it was because of her monthly visitor that makes it stink. But it turns out that it smalls like that all the time, a rotten fish kind of smell.
To make matters worse, she now want me to go down there with my mouth. I really cannot do that to be frank. I've been stylishly avoiding it (sooner or later she will observe that)
I seriously dont know if I should draw her attention to it. I tried using A.I to check if it is a diseases or something and if it can be cured but am not getting a straightforward answer.
Does anyone has an advice on this issue? I love the girl by the way.
This post was posted in 2021 in one of my poultry farming groups. I just stumbled upon it and decided to share it again so those willing to learn can learn from it again.
First, check Mr. Anthony's excellent result at 6 weeks 3 days (CHI Chicks) and tell me if this happened by chance!
Someone said this to me last week after narrating his poultry farming journey. At a point he wanted me to believe or agree with him on this very point yet I disagreed.
Poultry farming set tests for everyone. If you pass them, you'll think you are lucky. If you fail them you'll think you are unlucky.
I have shared my poultry farming journey (experience) in one of my posts. How I started the business with over 800k in 2018. Imagine a guy who want to have a side business that generate money for him and invested all he had only to lose everything within few months.
Then, I had said I was unlucky. Hahaha... And at some point I was beginning to think some village people were after me. Just like someone told me yesterday when we met at one vet outlet lamenting heartily that someone poisoned his birds when he was not around. Hahaha. I have heard this countless times from farmers believing that someone poisoned their birds. Is that always true?
Listen carefully, poultry farming is not for the faint-hearted. Trust me, you have to overcome a lot of obstacles. I fought and overcame mine.
When success comes, many farmers seem to forget the rules. This is very common.
Imagine a farmer who would devote all his or her time daily in the farm ensuring that the bird are doing well. Once they have success with a particular batch then claim to become experts and start giving less time and attention.
One of my organic farmers would say she always play music for her birds. Hahahaha funny right?
I just told her to keep it up.
Poultry FARMERS should understand that flexibility is the soul of poultry business. Never be rigid. Never claim you already know too much.
What works for a particular batch of birds may not work for he next even though they are from the same hatchery.
Exactly 5 weeks ago, I helped a woman ordered some birds alongside mine. As usual, I don't let her take more that 1 carton for a start since she don't even have any prior idea on brooding. I sent some brooding guides to her and she got the organic medications and the schedule.
At 4 weeks, she called for reports.
51 birds still complete. Some are already weighing 2.1kg @4 weeks and she's planning to order another batch.
You see that? While I was so proud of her results, I felt she was becoming excited and letting her sweet emotions take control.
Well, I simply advised her to hold on and raise the first set to maturity first before another.
Well, I could feel she didnt understand why but I do and I made her see reasons. The exciting part is, @5 weeks yesterday morning some persons already prícing some of the birds 2500 each and she refused to séll.
Why?
Because she weighed some and they are almost 3kg.
I made her understand that early success shouldn't make her forget the rules I gave her nor let those sweet emotions take control.
Sell them off if they are ready to pick all of them and restock was my response.
At most, the cost príce of these birds isn't up to 1500 yet so, why keep them if someone want to pick them?
Well, fast forward to evening yesterday, she lost 3 of the biggest birds to heat stress. Wow!
7500 gone right?
This is the reality of poultry business. Many farmers never got this 2cents advice that could have kept them in the business.
She don't even have any idea of the cause of death because they are very healthy and active. That was my perfect guess! Heat. Now they are ok but 3 gone.
Lessons: 1. There is nothing like LUCK, it's hardwork plus 2. Don't be gréédy. Séll when you can make good profit 3. It is better to spend more and get fast result than spend less, keep your birds longer and rísk Mortalities 4. Don't fall for the trícks quick success play. Stay focused and be flexible. Learn and unlearn and practice.
Enjoy Farming!

Is it possible these buildings were from before the flood in the Bible
Ourtruth247: Because all the evidence I've gathered points to that conclusion.
Yes, Europeans have been in America since the 1600s, but official settlement and building of most cities started in the late 1700s and extended into the 1800s. Most of the architecture I post were said to have been built around the 1800s.
Photographs of places like San francisco show a massive city littered with huge architecture at a time when the population was very little.
The generation that the history books tell us built those structures were a generation of horse and cart. A generation that didn't have access to power tools and advanced forms of load carriage. Some of the structures were built from single blocks of limestone, cut, sliced and carved to absolute precision.
How did they move huge blocks of stone with horse and cart? How did they cut the stone to absolute geometric precision using just chisel and hammer? It's literally impossible. I watched a video where loads of blocks were placed on a horse and cart. The cart didn't even move 200 metres before the tires tore off of it and it collapsed.
Additionally in these 1800s American architecture you see see Roman style architecture with carvings and styles that pay homage to Greek and Roman gods. I mean the settlers that supposedly built these structures were Christians. You'd expect them to pay homage to Jesus and Mary instead of Hermis.
Also when you look at pictures of these 1800s architecture you can see weathering on the body, as if they have been around for hundreds of years before the dates the history books give us of their creation.
In the pictures I posted on this thread you can see muddy streets surrounded by huge, grand architecture. You'd expect people who built those sophisticated architecture to be able to at least have paved their roads.
The evidence is staggering and I can go on and on.
You must be intentional about replacing bad habits with good habits.
Choose good habits that are sustainable and payoff over time.
Exercise Read books Learn social dancing skills like salsa Find something to do that helps you meet higher quality people.
All the best.
ChildOfDoom: Some times I just reminisce the times I was a chronic virtual patronizer and I grin with nostalgia. How many times have I nearly met my downfall and bet9ja virtual bailed me out. (Though the new face of the game is no longer enticing as before).
I remember when my rent was overdue, just when my landlady's call came in, I made over 80k from bet to settle her.
Another time I was asked to withdraw 100k in 100 naira denomination for my client and I lost it down to 30k. The client was calling incessantly and as destiny will have it, I won over 120k before I left the place.
Though my losing tales are more than the gains though. Some made me flee my former location as it would have taken my life or made me incarcerated.
Now I have taken up a new addiction - of docking Olosho. Will I say I am exhilarated as I have taken a better addiction?
Two days ago, my salary came in. Now, it's just 18000 left, with 30 days to go. How do I explain this. Drinks, flexing and mostly women have taken 80 percent of the pay.
I would have concluded I should go back to betting and stop womanising to compare. But I can't. Deep down within me I know I will end up doing both (which will be disastrous).
It’s a part of growing up. Since the reactions seem to be directed at your wife, that tells you she’s probably longing for her own mother.
I might be wrong.
Anyway, a change of environment and realities would certainly help. Just choose the new environment wisely.
Mrperfecto: I will just be brief without writing too much.
We are based we have 4 children, my first child is 13 from my previous relationship, she has become very terrible, she doesn't listen to me or my wife. She tells her that she is not her biological mother and she cannot control her. She had threatened to call the police on my wife telling her if she touch her she will fight her back and call the police. She goes to school and closes at 3.45 her school is 10 mins walk from home, but she is always late for home.
She comes home around 6 sometimes 7pm , as I am writing now every friday she closes at 12.30 but she is still hasn't come back home yet.
I am on my way to work. I start at 6.30pm till 2.30am so I rarely get to see her and she only misbehaving when I am not around. So far we have seized her phone because we had found so many inappropriate messages exchanges between her and boys. We had also removed the TV from her room and her behaviour has gotten worse. She is behaving like she's possessed.
My wife and I are fed up. Even her siblings are tired of her. We want to send her back to Nigeria maybe in a boarding school until she is 18 in order to protect her younger ones. If we keep her and she continues with her terrible behaviour I may beat her badly and we may end up loosing all 4 children to the authorities.
Please what advice will you give to me concerning this issue?
The IQ range on nairaland is wide, from barely above retarded, to genius.
Don’t mind them, by their comments you shall know them.
Tap0lane: So which country do they trade dollars on the street like Nigeria n their economy is beta than Nigeria ?
In regards to voting nonsense Bola Tinubu till his death n death of Peter Obi till eternity will remain a beta manager, it matters little if you Igbos wail blood it doesn't change the fact Tinubu will till eternity be a beta leader compare to Peter Obi.
What do your like even know about policies ?! You think we are talking about 2 by 2 shops here.
