Photo evidence. He was found some days later as opposed to two weeks stated in my earlier post.

Now how do I put this?

This boy was reported missing over a year ago. I designed the banner to put up on Facebook, and shared the post. My then colleague asked me to do it. The boy, a neighbour's son, went missing in church on Sunday. He was found about 2 weeks after. She reported that on Facebook. I shared that post also.

Please when sourcing news, let us endeavour to carry out our research to avoid spreading falsehood. Your concern is founded, but sadly misplaced in this regard.

Well there is no gain saying the fact that a lot of Nigerians have had their own often bitter experiences with the whole network marketing saga.

But World's richest billionaire, Bill Gates said "if i would be given a chance to start all over again, i would choose NETWORK MARKETING" meaning even if you take all his billions today, with network marketing he will bounce back to be world's richest man again. How inspiring!!! If you must know, network marketing is the reason why Bill sleeps and wakes up everyday $4 million richer, doing nothing.

That is to tell you that regardless your opinions, network marketing is the koko when it comes to financial freedom. Now, I respect your skepticism though about this particular business concept, and why most Nigerians don't want to have anything to do with anything that appears to be like a networking stuff, or like they put it "MLM" (even if the scheme is only wearing the monkey jacket of networking,most Nigerians immediately take to their heels) taking cognizance of your respective experiences, but i will like to ask you this question - does the fact that cars are prone to having accidents stop you from buying one if you have the money? Like in debates that year, 'i leave that question for my opponents to answer' lol.

Friends the truth is, if you really want to experience a difference in something, you just have to try out something new because like the popular adage goes "you can't expect to have a different result when you keep doing the same thing" or however it is put..lol.

But what I'm trying to buttress here is that in a network marketing system, you work with people and like Pam Moore said "you can never go wrong by investing in communities and the human beings within them". In every network of people, your success is assured by the joint effort of everybody which is so much better because personally i would love to earn 1% of everybody's effort than 100% of my own effort. I don't know about you but that's what i would prefer and i think you should. Networking and investment always go pari pasu, meaning haven created a network, there has to be an investment into that network, which is but a token to what you stand to gain back in a matter of time.

Network marketing really is what we all need to get to that status where every person in the system is financially independent as a result of the joint efforts of team members.

Now let's look at the statistics, 75% of America's economy is composed of small and medium scale enterprises which are a small network of people serving as a feeder matrix for the bigger dogs. Lemme not get too technical here, but basically that is why till tomorrow America's economy will remain strong because the cash flow in her system circulates within people, unlike here in our beloved country where some persons are ontop of the bullion van while others are.... Well you know the rest...lol.

Now upon my critical observations over time, you will realise that the most parts of the complains about network marketing comes from networks which often time are engaged in the buying and selling of products. Although am not condemning here, but the reality is that when members cannot meet a particular sale volume for the month, you see that they are not given their due reward or worse still are made to retrogress haven attained some level before. And that's the part that's really not cool. And exactly why the complains come.

Another thing is that most Nigerians fail to critically consider and re-consider the sustainability plan of these different networks springing up on a daily. Once the offer seems enticing to them,they just jump on it, without checking to see if the firm has the potential to be sustained over time. Now when the network crashes tomorrow, you see members who fell victims come out to generalize that anything called network marketing is a scam, trying to even poison the minds of those who are interested in trying out a network for themselves, when they have not done their basic fundamental ground work and analysis. I consider such claims totally outrageous. So for me, sustainability is one major thing i look out for before joining any network regardless her enticing offer. And you should too.

Networking in itself isn't such a bad thing to try one out today. All you have to do is ensure you first carry out the basic check of certain criteria. And i can stand to tell you that authoritatively that although there still exist the bad eggs, but not all networks are the same.

I studied chemical engineering uniben, done with nysc (served in rivers state) nd was cds president of my cds group. Still in port Harcourt, I joined a network that has really been a blessing to me and today, some of my cds members and ex president colleagues as well joined in and are making their money for themselves, totally forgotten their days of skepticism. Here, there is no buying and selling of any products whatsoever (because i particularly hated the thought of moving up and down the street trying to market any products) and there is no monthly sale volume you have to meet up with. Also, here, overtaking is very much allowed unlike some networks where you never grow past the person that introduced you, because of their pyramid set up. I personally overtook my upline so i know exactly what I'm talking about. And here, we are a TEAM. As at when i told the principal of the school i served with about the network, she immediately joined and also registered 6 members of her family same day and aside her salary,she's making her cool money too. She even told me of her first alert that she got and i could see the excitement all over her face.

Now I'm not saying all these to try to convince anyone to come join.No. i believe that our lives is a product of the choices we make and that the choices we make today goes a long to shapen our future tomorrow. All networks are not the same, u just have to be in the right one. That's my take. The only difference between a rich and a poor man in our society today is opportunity. Make wise use of the ones that come your way today so you can have a shelter for your future tomorrow. Remember if you don't make up your mind to be at the top, nobody will take you there. and Joining a network today can make the whole process to the top faster for you.

I still get paid. You think its too good to be true, i still get paid,. You join me,we both get paid. And if you don't join me, i still get paid. Because of time and space, You could reach me on 08136639283 so we talk more

You may be quoting Bill Gates out of context. he built a veritable brand which has taken a life of its own. And network marketing in his context is vastly different from multi level marketing. Why don't you build a veritable brand and work on giving it a life of its own instead of selling tea and pills from Asia and making people pay exorbitant amounts with incentives that sound too good to be true. We want earn much with little or no work done. That's why we are fleeced by all sorts.

Madam, he will continue to cheat. Can you live with it? That's what you will need to answer, and by yourself. It may not always be this girl. A couple of days, weeks, months, or years down the line, it will be some other girl, or a handful of other girls, or a whole community of girls in different area codes, depending on how buoyant he becomes.

The only premise for which he will change is because he makes up his mind to, backed up by divine help, if he is so inclined.

You cannot change him, your confrontation will not. If you decide to go ahead (and something tells me you will; you're already counting how old you are) for your peace of mind, and your children, be prepared to NOT SNOOP. Hopefully, he will keep his misdemeanour away from the home he shares with you, or not. Time will tell.

Hope you make the right decision for you.

Cheers!

Don't marry a man who beats you. Abeg, sister! Ronke Shonde and all those other women who survived are testament to the fact that the 7 years you are afraid of throwing away will be child's play compared to what you will face. No one is telling you to marry the "abroad guy" either. Sister, breathe, and do the right thing. We want you alive, and here. Hugs.

When you are ready to make sense please quote me.

Awww! Truth hurts, don't it?

Don't be pained son. And if you can't help it, take a chill pill. And Yes, I am quoting you.

Next time you want to spit proverbs, do it in English, so gbo? The audience would like to know what you mean. At least you spewed the trash you wrote up there in it.

He who dispenses trash advice should be ready in equal measure to receive, and wholeheartedly embrace it. Kunta Kinte. 1806

I think you are a sad, sad man, OP, and I feel extremely sorry for you. What women decide to do, or not do, in the end is all of their business and none of yours. All your patriarchal rants here on NL has still not done a thing to ease your foul temperament, has it? A thousand more won't do the trick, to be honest. All it will gain you is a high BP, and death after a bit.

Now breathe. Women are not your problem. Their vaginas are theirs, not yours. Go find your solution elsewhere.

I think Jesus can help you, f you let Him. But I must warn you, He'll definitely frown at your views. Premarital sex (and adultery), after all is a sin. You won't get into heaven because you think your "private part" is a master key.

Leave it at the door, will you? And oh, the bitterness too.

Good luck!

Really? Now It's be careful how you flaunt yourself on social media? Women! Men condition you to think a certain way and you swallow their suggestions hook, line and sinker. What is wrong with y'all? So because a man refuses to control the thing between his legs we must make an entire gender pay for this? And the women now buy the fight and become the enforcers for patriarchy on fellow women?! Have you told the likes of PSquare to be careful posting their "eggplants" on social media? So why shouldn't a lady post flattering photos of herself on instagram, or what do you think the gram is for? Give yourselves brain women, and stop being so programmed by men that you lose your capacity to think!

Vikky014:
To the beautiful well endowed lady out there. u dnt need any guy to tell u how hot or sexy u r bfore u know it. Most guys are fond of hyping us the best thing is for u to hype urslf in ur room bfore going out so dt the side comments from guys out there wont get to ur head


Be careful of how u flaunt urslf on social media bc u will b attracting many irresponsible guys to urslf dt will be confusing you with sweet mouth till you get laid


To the guys stop making it obvious to us how hot or sexy you think we are..it makes most of us to take u for granted. evn if a girl is hot dnt ring it to her ear always. atleast learn to yab her small she will cool down.

Sonofmark nailed it
Toks2008 nice write up.

Could you please stop with sermonising women. Women this, women that! For Pete's sake stop! Women really do not need a man sounding like a broken record, telling them what to do, how to act, what to wear, how to live! Leave women alone. Oh I get it. You write this to drive traffic, to make you popular, and little wonder. You have men who think as you do. Men whose lives are a mess but want to keep ruining women's lives as they've always done. Get a life!

Here we go again. Because a man has spent two thirds of his life swimming in women's vagina he thinks that now gives him authority over it. The parts of their brains which should have been invested in productive thinking has been chapped away as they cummed and all that's left is drunken men's tales of sexual illicitness and you think you've lost nothing? Little wonder we keep blaming old men from 70 - 103 as our problem in this country who by the way have spent 3/4ths of their lives doing the same things, well a good number of them anyway. It's the women who demean themselves by sleeping with you that I feel sorry for. And those who will marry the likes of you.

Take your own advice, maybe then you will have something else to show for other than worn ideologies that revolve around a woman's private part.

Don't do it. I repeat, don't do it! It's not worth any of it.

ima30:
I don't live there. The laundry wey I do sef was my guys own. Not my dresses. I only visit.

Oh, my bad. Well then, this prayer comes to mind. "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, The courage to change the things I can, And the wisdom to know the difference." When push comes to shove, It all boils down to where you're going and your ability to focus on your way there. All the best!

You live there? I'm sure the maid is just appalled by the foundation you're laying. You could at least let him marry you properly before you proceed to moving in with your boyfriend in his brother's house. Maybe then she'll accord you respect, as a family member. PS: I hope you guys get married. Congrats in advance are in order, I suppose.

Funny how you jump on a thread that is eight years old and give retarded opinions. READ!

Learn to read. The post says "part of our problem" not "main cause" or "the cause". You guys screaming racism are incorrigible. You are the same set of people who will turn on to criticise Mikel's "poor performance" at our national matches like you did when Nigeria crashed out of the World Cup and AFCON Qualifiers. Let's call a spade what it is and keep playing the victim card or in this case the race card when someone of a different skin tone points out something that stares you right in the face!

Temptee101:
Thunder fire his legs wherever he is. He contributed immensely to our poor performance at the world cup and inability to make the AFCON.

At the very least, spell Vacancies properly, then people will take you serious.

There is no honour in a man blatantly dishonouring his matrimonial vows made before God in church or wherever else, or before the law in court. You choose one woman for whatever reason, marry her, professing vows with weighty words, then you turn right around and break them, expecting the woman to behave "maturely", reminding you as if you are some retard (apologies to those suffering some affliction) of the vows you have made and the import of those words, only then you "reluctantly" give heed.

In a different situation, won't the breaking of your vows, especially before a court of law, lead to your incarceration?

There is a reason why this scripture in the bible is written; "A leader must be well-thought-of, committed to his wife, cool and collected, accessible, and hospitable. He must know what he’s talking about, not be over fond of wine, not pushy but gentle, not thin-skinned, not money-hungry. He must handle his own affairs well, attentive to his own children and having their respect. For if someone is unable to handle his own affairs, how can he take care of God’s church?"

Little wonder we have men failing in leadership positions world wide, simply because they can't keep their word. If you don't intend to be true to your vows, then don't make them! If you foolishly have, own up to your mistakes. Be upfront with the woman you have yoked and tell her the truth. If she decides to stay to keep up appearances, good for her. But man up!

Me thinks men should stop with the advice to women. Advice yourselves on how you can stop cheating on your women, for Pete's sake! If you are Muslim, or your "culture" accommodates it, then marry more, if that will satisfy your lust. But you have no moral obligation to give advice to women when you have no idea how it feels to be cheated on. You can't keep sitting on your high horse and continue to be condescending towards the female gender, from your patriarchal position of faux-privilege. Advice yourselves or shove it.
