What's this new trend of getting pregnant before marriage?



Guys sha,always coming up with different ways to job girls.

There's a higher rate of womenm who lie to men that they are pregnant just to hook the guy. It has happened to me twice and I have friends who have gone through the same thing

fhranciz:

At least you now know you have sure boinking once in 2 weeks. I'd advice you get another vjay to help you out for the rest of time you're Hot.

This is exactly why men rule. A country can only be lead by rational and not emotional decisions

Op, did he send you any picture? This thread would have been more interesting if it had pics.

So because it was sung by homosexuals, that makes it a gay song?

Well, considering the fact that Elton John wrote a lot of love songs and people like myself didn't know he had a tunnel in his trousers, its safe to assume the op has no idea what he's talking about

....And Nigerians are still yet to experience 365 days constant electricity supply

You should know I'm a Nigerian.

Lol. Why you come dey talk like say you from zimbabwe?

otr1:
I'm not interested in argument, just want to correct that wrong impression.
I don't know about other parts of Africa, and that's why I told you "In my part of Africa" Whitemen didn't give us cloths.
We didn't learn anything new from the whites. We had a working society and Africa was on course until the political and economic invasion by the Europeans.
African would have been a better place without European colonization, because most if not all of our problems can be traced back to their interference.

What part of Africa are you from?

Still available! Place your orders now!

otr1:
So because some people sold slaves in exchange for mirror, you had to lie we were unclad?
You case is pathetic.

In most parts of Africa people were nude. Even today, there are still lots of under developed places in Africa were their indigenes are at best half-naked. What exactly is your point? Africa still remains the most under developed continent on the planet with the highest poverty rate. Everything we are today is as a result of what we learnt from Europeans. Now, if you feel that at a certain point in our history Africa, as a continent not just a part, was the center of trade you need to as yourself why we are at this stage. My initial comment was supposed to evoke critical thinking and I was expecting a better response but instead, and unfortunately, you came along with nothing to add but chose to pick just one sentence and expect an argument.

If you didn't see anything thought provoking in my comment, stick your fingers in your assssssssssss

otr1:
Mind enlighting us on the bolded.
In my part of Africa, we were never unclad. In fact, the textile industry was booming until the Europeans came, copied the pattern then flood our market with their cheap cloths.

And what part of Africa is that? The same Africa whose leaders were deceived with the aid of mirrors into selling their brothers as slaves?

who ask you? upon all ur insults he still has a frst class and he has provided a suitable future for hmself

And who told you having a first class will guarantee success. He's probably going to end up working in a company founded by a high school drop out. Ask Bill Gates

Its nice to know that there are enlightened folks on this thread. However, no matter how much you dissect, the world powers will always have their way. The issue of light overcoming darknesss has always been heart warming but at the end of the day evil seems to always prevail partly due to the fact that while the good are analyzing, the "bad" are taking action.

In retrospect, how would the world have been if the illuminati had not come together to share ideas and take the future into their own hands while the rest of the "good" were busy living shallow lives? This might be meant for another thread but it seems to me that people are always quick to point out illuminati signs and criticise but you really need to think and ask yourself, if the europeans headed by the illuminati had not envisioned the world as a bigger place than Europe, will Africa have ever been discovered. Will YOU reading this have ever worn clothes, because I can guarantee our forefathers were comfortable nude. And most importantly, we probably wouldn't have had access to education, internet and everything that has attributed to us being able to dissect this issue.

That said, you all dissecting, its safe to assume you are all Africans and apparently are all enlightened. We know what we know thus far, don't you think we can come together and figure out a way to create OUR own world order? The "elite" of today are nothing but a bunch of young minds who came together with the idea of a better future for THEIR people, we should emulate that.

"The chicks always complained about how wicked the eagle was for picking them up but when the eagle was questioned he said, "no, I don't have anything against the chicks, as a matter of fact nothing tastes better".

adeitoro:
Imagined, Nigeria having the highest number of monarchs in the world?
I pity this country, almost its every square meter has either Oba, Emir, Eze etc., and are being paid by the government from the tax payer's money.
The president elect should as a matter of urgency scrab off all this traditional rulers to save this sinking ship called Nigeria.
I think that will catalised the most needed change.
God bless Nigeria

I agree totally.

Very creative and quite cool. I would have loved to do something like this but will the tattooist draw out all the pounded yam and goat meat with egusi in my pot belly as well?

Anybody who has kids — or hopes to — wants them to stay out of trouble, do well in school, and go on to do awesome things in the professional world.

While there isn't a set recipe for raising successful children, psychology research has pointed to a handful of factors that predict success.

They are:

High expectations

Using data from a national survey of 6,600 children born in 2001, University of California, Los Angeles professor Neal Halfon and his colleagues discovered that the expectations parents hold for their kids have a huge effect on attainment.

"Parents who saw college in their child's future seemed to manage their child toward that goal irrespective of their income and other assets," he said in a statement.

The finding came out in standardized tests: 57% of the kids who did the worst were expected to attend college by their parents, while 96% of the kids who did the best were expected to go to college.

This falls in line with another psych finding: the Pygmalion effect, which states "that what one person expects of another can come to serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy."

In the case of kids, they live up to their parents' expectations.

A higher socioeconomic status

Tragically, a fifth of American children grow up in poverty, a situation that severely limits their potential.

It's getting more extreme. According to Stanford University researcher Sean Reardon, the achievement gap between high and low-income families "is roughly 30% to 40% larger among children born in 2001 than among those born 25 years earlier."

As "Drive" author Dan Pink has noted, the higher the income for the parents, the higher the SAT scores for the kids.

"Absent comprehensive and expensive interventions, socioeconomic status is what drives much of educational attainment and performance," he wrote.

Higher educational levels

A 2014 study lead by University of Michigan psychologist Sandra Tang found that mothers who finished high school or college were more likely to raise kids that did the same.

Pulling from a group of over 14,000 children who entered kindergarten in 1998 to 2007, the study found that children born to teen moms (18 years old or younger) were less likely to finish high school or go to college than their counterparts.

Aspiration is at least partially responsible. In a 2009 longitudinal study of 856 people in semirural New York, Bowling Green State University psychologist Eric Dubow found that "parents' educational level when the child was 8 years old significantly predicted educational and occupational success for the child 40 years later."

Provide early academic skills

A 2007 meta-analysis of 35,000 preschoolers across the US, Canada, and England found that developing math skills early can turn into a huge advantage.

"The paramount importance of early math skills — of beginning school with a knowledge of numbers, number order, and other rudimentary math concepts — is one of the puzzles coming out of the study," co-author and Northwestern University researcher Greg Duncan said in a press release. "Mastery of early math skills predicts not only future math achievement, it also predicts future reading achievement."

Offer sensitive caregiving

A 2014 study of 243 people born into poverty found that children who received "sensitive caregiving" in their first three years not only did better in academic tests in childhood, but had healthier relationships and greater academic attainment in their 30s.

As reported on PsyBlog, parents who are sensitive caregivers "respond to their child's signals promptly and appropriately" and "provide a secure base" for children to explore the world.

"This suggests that investments in early parent-child relationships may result in long-term returns that accumulate across individuals' lives," co-author and University of Minnesota psychologist Lee Raby said in an interview.

Avoid junk time with kids

According to new research cited by Brigid Schulte at The Washington Post, the number of hours that moms spend with kids between ages 3 and 11 does little to predict the child's behavior, well-being, or achievement.

What's more, the "intensive mothering" or "helicopter parenting" approach can backfire.

"Mothers' stress, especially when mothers are stressed because of the juggling with work and trying to find time with kids, that may actually be affecting their kids poorly," study co-author and Bowling Green State University sociologist Kei Nomaguchi told the Post.

Emotional contagion — or the psychological phenomenon where people "catch" feelings from one another like they would a cold — helps explain why. Research shows that if your friend is happy, that brightness will infect you; if she's sad, that gloominess will transfer as well. So if a mother (or father) is exhausted or frustrated, that emotional state could transfer to the kids.

Teach a growth mindset

Where kids think success comes from also predicts their attainment.

Over decades, Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck has discovered that children (and adults) think about success in one of two ways. Over at the always-fantastic Brain Pickings, Maria Popova says they go a little something like this:

A "fixed mindset" assumes that our character, intelligence, and creative ability are static givens which we can't change in any meaningful way, and success is the affirmation of that inherent intelligence, an assessment of how those givens measure up against an equally fixed standard; striving for success and avoiding failure at all costs become a way of maintaining the sense of being smart or skilled.

A "growth mindset," on the other hand, thrives on challenge and sees failure not as evidence of un-intelligence but as a heartening springboard for growth and for stretching our existing abilities.

At the core is a distinction in the way you assume your will affects your ability, and it has a powerful effect on kids. If kids are told that they aced a test because of their innate intelligence, that creates a "fixed" mindset. If they succeeded because of effort, that teaches a "growth" mindset.

In one study of 4-year-olds, Dweck let kids choose between solving easy or difficult jigsaw puzzles. The kids with a fixed mindset chose the easier one, since it would validate their god-given abilities. The growth-oriented kids opted for the harder puzzle, since they saw it as an opportunity to learn.

Like Popova notes, the "fixed" kids wanted to do the easy puzzle since it would help them look smart and thus successful; the "growth" kids wanted the hard puzzles since their sense of success was tied up in becoming smarter.

So when you praise your kids, don't congratulate them for being so smart, commend them for working so hard.

A mother’s Facebook apology for her daughters’ “rude and obnoxious” behavior toward another mother at a movie theater has gone viral.

When Birmingham, Alabama, mom Rebecca Boyd took her 12-year-old daughter Ashley to see Cinderella on Friday night, she was hoping for a quiet movie night. But what followed was an incredibly frustrating evening.

At the theater two teenage girls took a seat behind Boyd and her daughter. “It started out with giggling, talking too loud, and kicking my seat,” Boyd tells Yahoo Parenting. “At one point I turned around and told them that we paid for the movie just like they did. They just giggled at me and continued with the same behavior.”

After the movie ended, Boyd sent Ashley to the car and approached the two misbehaving teens outside the theater. “I told them they needed to realize that their behavior affects others and they never know what other people around them are going through,” she says. “For instance my husband was just laid off from his job and this would be the last movie I could take my daughter to for awhile, and they had ruined that.”

Boyd says she was aggravated by the way the evening played out but never placed any blame on the girls’ parents. “Kids will be kids,” she says. “They are not bad kids. They just made bad choices.”

But one woman was furious at the girls’ behavior — their mother. The sisters were at the movie with their brother, who let their mom, Kyesha Smith Wood, know what happened. That night, Wood, whose daughter and stepdaughter were the girls in question, posted a note to Facebook. “This is a long shot, but I’m looking for a woman that was at Tannehill Premier tonight seeing Cinderella at 7 pm,” she wrote. Wood recalled the evening as her son explained it —the bad behavior, the confrontation — and said she was humiliated by the girls’ behavior. “If you are this woman, please message me. I can assure you that these girls are being strongly dealt with and appropriately punished. This rude, disrespectful, and awful behavior is unacceptable and they owe you an apology. My husband and I are having them write your apology letter tonight and we would like to pay for your next movie and snacks out of their allowance. Please message me if this is you. I apologize profusely for their disrespect.”

The post was quickly shared around social media. The local Jefferson County Sheriff’s office posted the status, and from there it was shared nearly 47,000 times and got nearly 10,000 comments and more than 246,000 likes.

The comments were overwhelmingly positive, commending Wood for holding her children responsible for their actions.

“She is a truly good parent. Hands down. To outright admit her children were in the wrong and want to do something about it, is good parenting. Parents who make excuses for their children are what is wrong with society. Good job mom!” wrote Kristin Nemeth. Added Christy Harris Parker, “This world needs more parents like this lady and her husband. If parents would parent their children, the way this lady is, our world would be a better place.” And from Lauren Carmichael, “Way to go Mom! Too often teenagers get away with things like this not realizing that it affects the parents. If you act [like] a nutcase in public people question what kind of parenting is going on. This confirms there is good parenting just terrible decisions on the kids part. Bravo Mom!!!”

The post did eventually make it to Boyd. “I was very touched that Kyesha was not offended that I approached her girls,” Boyd says. “Her kind letter brought tears to my eyes.”

Boyd sent Wood a message over Facebook and when the two moms connected, they hit it off immediately. “I thanked her for correcting my girls in my absence and letting them know that they were wrong,” Wood told AL.com. “A lot of times people get nervous about saying something to a stranger’s kids. But it takes a village to raise our kids. We as a community need to hear this, that there are parents out there who still believe in old-fashioned methods.” And she told ABC 33/40 that she has the utmost respect for Boyd. “She is the most gracious and kind and forgiving woman and I’m so humbled by that,” she said.

Boyd returned the sentiments. “Everyone has had the experience I had at the movies, but it is rare to see parents respond like the Wood family has,” she says. “I have so much respect for them, and no hard feelings toward their beautiful girls.”

As for the misbehaving teens? They’re mortified, Wood said. “They’re humiliated, but that’s ok,” she told ABC 33/40. “I told them, ‘you know what? You’re never going to do that again.’”

Boyd says she thinks the post resonated with parents because there aren’t enough examples of parents helping each other out. Facebook posts between parents who don’t know each other are so often judgmental or negative. “Parents need to stick together and watch after each other’s kids,” she says. “As parents we can’t be there all the time.”
