Celebrities / Prof. Wole Soyinka Harassed By A Young Nigerian On An Airplane by Jamezafolabi40(m): 7:54am On Jun 24, 2019
A post by an instagram user identified as Tonye Patrick Cole who boarded plane with Professor Wole Soyinka on a Business Class, narrates the story of a young passenger who asked the old Noble Laureate Prize Winner to vacate from his seat.



According to Mr Tonye Patrick Cole He classified it as lack of home training and moral decadency for a young man to have told an elderly man to stand up because he is occupying his position, nevertheless, the narrator made it known that the young actually paid for the seat.



While some were scolding and throwing lashes on the young man for his act, some still have a different opinion, according to them, the young man, has the right to claim his right and not act based on sentiment or attached feelings.

Family / Can Women Really Play Father's Role ? by Jamezafolabi40(m): 10:28am On Jun 14, 2019
It is seen all over the world that women are taking over certain sectors, changing the narratives, doing wonderfully well. Looking like men are becoming the second fiddle. But the question here is can they really do it like the men would do it? Talking about the home lol.

Every home as an head according to our culture which must be a man but this day we've seen many men neglect their responsibilities. Failing woefully when it comes to handling their marriage, homes or even playing the role of a true father.

Many men has so far limited their roles to financial supplier of the family anything outside that, they are no where to be found, Daddy is only known for money contribution. No intellectual or Emotional contribution to the house. Daddy cannot even enlighten the children, not at all checked their assignments not even to take them out on a treat. All these love are only shown by their mothers. So why on earth would the child not like the mother.

Most fathers have so much built fear in the house other than love and respect, that whenever daddy is coming everyone jump to the bush. It Shouldn't be like that. Hmmm

As a man and as a father of the house...

Be known as a solution provider , friend, adviser, financial contributor, lover to your family. Order than being an headache or pain in the neck, pls do smile when needed, nobody would take you for granted. Happy Fathers Day in Advance

Romance / Ladies! Is It Advisable To Ask Or Lend Money From Your Ex? by Jamezafolabi40(m): 6:56am On Apr 15, 2019
Hello friends
Is it advisable to borrow, lend or ask for money from your ex- boyfriend or girlfriend?

Source: https://temixpress..com/2019/04/is-it-advisable-to-ask-or-lend-money.html?m=1

Check out some responses
Dolapo Alonge:I pray God won't make this a reality..
It's not a good thing especially if it's the lady requesting,for u to come to ask for money you will be sober, calmed and cool which can be vulnerable.
It could lead just an hang out, a Lil story from the past and then on & on..
From the guy's end, the lady night just overlook the happenings and go ahead to gv to him cos as far as she's concerned she has moved on but Atimes hard for a guy even if its one night stand his mind would still wanna linger but for a moment and ponder on it a while.

Victor: It's not advisable. The fact that there's been breakage in the chemistry between the parties had placed a note of caution to the form of help that should be rendered or ask of from the Ex...
The long-run implications could be grievous, as this could affect the recipient of such money in terms of his/her esteem. Again, it could be a device to retrieve from the the giver funds that has been incurred in the exterminated relationship, and as such, it could lead to bad debt. And no one you will relate that with that will be objective in making judgment, since, you guys are once together.
And once, the party refused to refund, you start threatening and in the process, the ex could cook up stories or even to treat your Bleep up, in the case he/she has something secretive about you like nude pictures or abortion record or record of a chronic disease or even could look for way of getting you out of the relationship you're presently. By


Rhoda:If they are both over the break up, and they remain good friends, and they keep in touch. Lending money out of the blue from your ex you've not spoken for a while is a little bit degrading I think.

Olaolu:Ex you say.... Just let d ex be in d ex and move on... That is why you will go and start developing one useless feelings for eachother again... Feeling a wae suppose don die...

Temitope: Depends on how the love birds departed and the relationship that exists between them afterward.

Crime / Full Video Of How The Ethiopian Airline Pilots Struggled Before Plane Crash by Jamezafolabi40(m): 2:40pm On Mar 11, 2019
Here is the full video of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 which took off from Addis Ababa to Nairobi and crashed leaving 157 people dead.



Investigations indicate that shortly after V1 speed (V1 is the speed beyond which take-off can no longer be aborted) the crew experienced difficulties and requested permission to return to the airport.



The flight 302 was climbing out when the aircraft leveled out at about 9,000ft above sea level. Radar contact was lost about 6 minutes later. The picture of the crash site indicated a high speed impact with the aircraft disintegrating when it hit the ground, and post crash fire.







Flight radar 24 was able to capture the first 6 minutes of the aircraft’s ADSB (Automatic Dependence Surveillance Broadcast) data as the aircraft departed to the east.



The standard instrument departure to the east requires the aircraft to be at 12,000ft but it was at 9,000ft. This indicates that the aircraft was below the desired altitude, thus putting the aircraft within 1,000ft of the mountainous terrain.



The aircraft rolled out on the runway and climbed into the sky at rate of 2,000ft per minute, and it quickly drops off to ZERO ft per minute, followed by another positive climb and another negative descent of 2000ft per minute, followed by another positive climb to about 7,000ft in 3 minutes before losing contact with the radar.



An altitude of just 1,000 to 2,000 feet above the ground, gives the crew very limited time and space to react if there is a controllability problem.




It is too early to say what exactly caused the crash, but watching as the crew struggled to keep the aircraft in the air and the chaos in the cabin as Flight 302 nosedive back to terra ferma into a giant crater is gut-wrenching….

Romance / She's Appeared Nice But Has A Bad Attitude That Kills by Jamezafolabi40(m): 9:25pm On Mar 09, 2019
First impression goes a long way in relationship and in other aspect of life. She seems to be nice and caring, always calling and was very good cook, but she's got something very appalling and that is her character.

Character blinds and unfolds people to blessings, it's what they see before your certificate or honors, it's a flame that can't be hidden for long or else it chokes. As a matter of fact it raises and drops people depending on which of it you possess.

Good character or bad is not gender based but a mindset. People grow with it, while some develop it along the line of life.

How do we discover a Bad Character.
One things is to have and another thing is to know if its bad or not.

We need to watch/observe when two or more people corrects or a particular thing. You do a self check through the day, especially for people with anger issue.

We solve this by changing our mindset, know that people are different and everyone can't act the way you want. So you relate with people based on their dos and don't so you won't have issues with them and they won't clash with you.

You engage yourself in meaningful activities to avoid unnecessary idleness.

Try to give space when you discover something is gonna get you pissed off or irritated. Or probably would make you exhibit that bad character.

Seek the help of a counsellor

Above pray to God for a divine change you never can tell it might be a tool of the enemy to hinder your growth .

Politics / Signs Babajide Sanwo-olu Will Loose Lagos Gubernatorial by Jamezafolabi40(m): 9:13pm On Mar 08, 2019
Following the political terrain of the All Progressive Party, the chance of claiming back Lagos at the Gubernatorial election seems skeptical and slim due to some internal factors.

It's no doubt that the Candidate Babajide SanwoOlu of the All Progressive Congress and Jimi Agbaje of PDP have done massively well in campaigning for the 2019 Lagos Gubernatorial post, compared to others.


But there are still some shaky factors that might halt Sanwo's team from getting to the office:

1. Sanwo-Olu's Loosing His Poling Unit to PDP at the presidential election. This is a deadly sign that the All progressive People's Congress should consider



2. Ambode's Disapproval by the party and the choosing of Babajide divides the strength of the party in a way



3. Last Election was a slim difference between Ambode and Agbaje

Celebrities / Vladmir Putin Embarrassed By His Horse At The International Women's Day Event by Jamezafolabi40(m): 2:19pm On Mar 08, 2019
The Russian president was shown cantering on horseback alongside female police officers in footage broadcast across the Russia.

He was visiting a mounted police regiment at a training facility in Moscow on the eve of International Women's Day.

Flanked by women on white horses, Putin rode a brown one, before he took centre stage as the officers surrounded him in rows.

However, his horse would not stay in formation and walked backwards, with the helpless leader seemingly unable to stop it.





Mr Putin has carefully cultivated a macho image during his 19 years in power and has been pictured riding a horse bare-chested in Siberia and taking a dip in icy water.

The Russian leader reportedly gave the police officers a horse named Golden Ray after the event.


Ahead of International Women’s Day, Mr Putin said women were increasingly taking an interest in working in law enforcement agencies and that just over a quarter of employees at the Interior Ministry were now women.

The 66-year-old's approval ratings have fallen recently due to years of lower real incomes and an unpopular move by the government last year to raise the retirement age.

The latest episode of Toke Makinwa’s Toke Moments is now out. The new episode has a straightforward message: “Date Your Wage”.
“Date Your Wage” is a continuation of “Break Up/Make Up” episode which was not rounded off entirely.
She says:


Last week’s Vlog had a lot of people in their feelings��� I’m a mess ��� I know.
All your comments left me in stitches, I have come to the conclusion that it is very important to date within your means. Cinderella’s story is cute but it does not happen to everyone, If people begin to respect their wage and date in their capacity, there will be less insults, unrealistic expectations and more peace ✌️. If you see a lady hustling on her own and trying to make a life for herself, if you can’t bring anything to the table pls leave her alone!!! Too many people making you feel guilty for wanting more out of life.
