An experienced driver won't get so close before knowing what to do.

Many things that help reduce, but not completely eliminate shyness, could be the following:

Money

Dressing well

Smelling well

Regular social interaction

Knowledge and Skill acquisition

Public Speaking and volunteering

Genuine love and concern for others

Uplift people. Don't backbite. Don't put people down

Avoid anger issues

Avoid secret sins

Prayer because confidence is ultimately God-given.

It's a game some people play for no reason. They make a promise they know from onset that they are not going to keep.

Or do they change their minds?

Only God knows.

Please moderator, I will be happy if you can move this to front page to enable me get solution that I have been desiring for the past years.

I have been experiencing moving objects from my head to my feet for over 15yrs now. For the past 15 years I have visited hospitals, done tests, scan, prayed, fasted and taken herbals but all to no avail.

The last test i went for, I was told that I had stomach ulcers. Which I have taken the medication prescribed for me but no improvement.

The symptoms include feeling as if a living being is moving inside my stomach, terrible stomach pains, worm-like movement on my head, feet even in my scrotum, I find it hard to stand for a very long time because I will be feeling pains on my legs.

Please, if anyone has experienced such or has someone that has gone through such should kindly recommend the best solution that will help me be free from this torment that has made life unbearable to me.

You have something disturbing your mind. Get it out. Health of mind is health of body.

If you want peace, go for war, but at what costs? It's high time both parties sheathe their sword.

Stop scratching it even though it itches you like dying. This way the problem is have solved.

Stop overeating. Forget about adding weight. Don't develop diabetic complication because you want to add weight. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.

Shun noodles! Shun overheating. Stop lying on your stomach, lie on your side instead, especially the left side.

He followed the teachings of the Bible not knowing he has been scammed

Bible stories are not better than tortoise stories …

We all know deep down that all the Bible stories can only happen in the Bible and nowhere else…

Rip to the poor boy, may religion never befall us

How did you know the boy acted based on Bible stories? Was that mentioned in the story of the boy?

Are you fighting the Bible? Don't you know it's going to hard for you to be kicking against a stone? You can only get yourself wounded!

Obi, the man I can't wait to see as a President of Nigeria!

Availability of foreign exchange without commensurate economic benefits for every man. How many Nigerians are getting decent jobs with the decent remuneration?

Mischief makers. Who has anybody for comparison? Peter obi has no competitor from the East or any part of Nigeria. He is his own competitor!

That is women's nature. Let it be! Have your peace. Women's money is theirs. Their husbands' money is for the family.

jesusjnr2020:
I actually saw the comment he made about meeting Jesus on social media, but thought it was just a random comment he made, until I saw the video of the interview being posted on Chelsea's official social media account.

They even posted it with a faith-based caption, which came as a huge shock, because it was the first time I have seen such a first official interview of a new signing for a football club of that pedigree before.

It was a profoundly strange sight for me, couldn't understand how talk about Jesus came into the equation and yet the club yet deemed it fitting enough to post as their first official interview of their new signing.

That is yet another testament to how sportsmen and women, including footballers, were becoming more and more unashamed of publicly declaring their faith in Jesus, after the unprecedented open display of their christian faith in the recently concluded world cup.

I know it doesn't guarantee that the lives they live behind the scenes were Christlike, however it's a good thing they're using their global platforms to share the Gospel of Jesus and to glorify God instead of something else.

God bless.

Most people that profess Christ publicly have a desire to live by Christ's standards.

Desire can now equal behind-the-life when the person begins to ask for grace with a sincere heart.

GanagiBitrus:
Beneficial to who? Maybe the FA in terms of financial gains, but to the average Nigerian, it is very painful.

I still remember the severe pains of losing to Ivory Coast in AFCON 2023 Final, but celebrated 3rd place win over Egypt in last AFCON.

Okay then.

GanagiBitrus:
Winner of 3rd place Celebrates
Loser of Final Cries

Better to Win 3rd place than to Lose the Final.

There are cries that are more beneficial than celebration. Such is the cry of being a runner-up.

VirusVaccine:
I did not notify them.
Thank you. I just feel so so sad that after all the money spent, effort made in parking and now I am in another state of finding a house again with money to spend again.

You made a mistake by not informing them before carrying out the renovation on their property. You put yourself in a hard place. Appeal to them, if they can temper mercy with judgement. Getting depressed is a no-no. You may be on a journey of no-return. If nothing comes out after your begging, forgerrrrit

If you think this Osibanjo has integrity, then ya very funny. Someone with integrity can never deputize that failure called Buhari

Be honest, if Osinbajo were your father, would you sincerely ask him to resign because his boss Buhari was underperforming?

Please,be true to your conscience!

Martdc:
We’ve been dating for 3 years now, but I’m starting to lose attraction towards her.

I do other things as a man ought to do, but sex is not included. Last time we had sex was 2 months ago, and we live together.

I enjoy her care, and every other thing aside sex. I feel irritated anytime she comes close, or touchy.

I’m not seeing anyone else. I’ve lost interest in so many things including having sex with my girlfriend or any other girl.

What do you guys suggest i do?

You need Christ. You are illegally banging other people's children without paying their bride price. Would you love your sisters to be in that kind of situation?

Make your way right.
Marry legally and watch your sex drive return, because you wouldn't be doing that again with a festering conscience.

Odewaleadesoye:
The debate about Senator Oluremi Tinubu's comments on akara, agbado and kuli-kuli has divided many Nigerians. Some have defended her statement, saying there is dignity in labour and that many successful people started from humble beginnings. On that point, they are right.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with selling akara, roasting corn, making kuli-kuli, or engaging in any honest business. Millions of Nigerians have raised families, trained children through school, and built successful lives through small businesses. Honest work deserves respect.

But that is not why many Nigerians are angry.

The real issue is that Nigerians are tired of being told to manage hardship while those in power continue to live comfortably.

When a government is performing well, citizens are discussing opportunities, innovation, jobs, infrastructure, healthcare and education. When people are struggling to survive, every statement about poverty naturally becomes controversial.

Yes, ₦50,000 may help some petty traders. It may help a woman already selling food or a market trader who only needs a little support to restock goods. That is true.

But we must also ask an honest question: what about the millions of Nigerians already drowning in debt, unable to feed their families, struggling with rent, transport costs, school fees and rising food prices?

If someone owes ₦150,000, has not eaten properly for days, and is struggling to survive, how far can ₦50,000 really go?

The problem is not the grant itself. The problem is presenting survival as economic progress.

Nigerians do not want handouts forever. Nigerians want an economy that works.

They want stable electricity so businesses can grow.

They want affordable food.

They want security so farmers can return to their farms.

They want jobs that pay decent wages.

They want access to credit with reasonable terms.

They want a country where young people can dream beyond daily survival.

Recent reports also show that political activities continue across the country while many citizens are battling economic hardship and insecurity. At the same time, schoolchildren abducted in Oyo State remain a source of concern for many Nigerians, with families still hoping for their safe return.

This is why many people reacted strongly to the akara conversation. It was never really about akara.

It was about frustration.

It was about a growing feeling that ordinary Nigerians are being asked to endure more sacrifices while receiving less hope in return.

Nobody is saying small businesses are bad.

Nobody is saying people should be ashamed of humble beginnings.


What Nigerians are saying is simple:

Stop weaponising poverty.

Stop making hardship look normal.

Stop treating survival as success.

Build an economy where people sell akara because they choose to, not because they have no other option.

A nation cannot continue to measure progress by how creatively its citizens cope with suffering.

The true measure of progress is how many people no longer have to struggle just to survive.

That is the conversation Nigeria should be having.

Nigerians deserve more than survival. They deserve a government that creates opportunities, protects lives, grows businesses, and restores hope. Until then, conversations about akara, agbado and kuli-kuli will continue to remind us of a much bigger problem.

"They want access to credit with reasonable terms".

This is what most of us need now.

I think I should write a little on the Health Benefits of Fruits:

Fruits are among the healthiest foods you can include in your daily diet. They are naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fiber, and water, all of which help the body function properly and stay healthy. Eating a variety of fruits every day can improve your overall well-being and reduce the risk of many diseases.

1. Rich Source of Essential Nutrients
Fruits provide important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, and folate. These nutrients help strengthen the immune system, support healthy skin, improve eyesight, and maintain proper body functions.

2. Boosts the Immune System
Many fruits, especially citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits, are high in vitamin C. This vitamin helps the body fight infections, heal wounds faster, and protect against illnesses.

3. Supports Healthy Digestion
Most fruits contain dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes regular bowel movements. Fiber also helps prevent constipation and supports a healthy digestive system.

4. Promotes Heart Health
Fruits contain antioxidants, potassium, and fiber that help lower blood pressure, reduce bad cholesterol levels, and improve blood circulation. Regular fruit consumption can lower the risk of heart disease and stroke.

5. Helps Maintain a Healthy Weight
Fruits are naturally low in calories and high in water and fiber, making you feel full for longer. They are a healthier alternative to sugary snacks and can help with weight management.

6. Improves Skin Health
The vitamins and antioxidants found in fruits help protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. They also promote collagen production, keeping the skin healthy, smooth, and youthful.

7. Reduces the Risk of Chronic Diseases
Regular consumption of fruits has been linked to a lower risk of developing chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, certain cancers, and high blood pressure due to their rich antioxidant content.

8. Keeps the Body Hydrated
Many fruits, including watermelon, cucumber, oranges, and strawberries, have high water content. Eating these fruits helps keep the body hydrated, especially during hot weather.


Fruits are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Including a variety of fresh fruits in your daily meals provides the body with vital nutrients, improves overall health, and helps prevent many diseases. For the best results, aim to eat different types of fruits every day as part of a balanced diet.

Cucumber not a fruit, it's a vegetable.

Who will every Nigerian call now for help? Though, it's not bad crying out. But what happens after the expiration of the rent, school fees and the rest? May God send her help that is sustainable.
