If you pay too much attention to your failures, you may never rise above mistakes.

It's never late to start to start a business or vocation

Fits in nicely!

What did you learn too late in life?
1)Dad was right, save first before you start spending.
2)Your reward is not in heaven. Only lazy lads say this.
3)Life is actually short. Nothing lasts forever.
4)Money is not the root of all evil. The lack of money is.
5)Never sacrifice your progress for a friend. They might not do the same if the tables were turned.
6)Stop trying to make everyone love you. You need enemies to succeed.
7)Find something you love, something you can lean on to, something that would keep you going. You need something to fall back on when you get depressed.
Networking is important. Never underestimate anybody.
9)Politics and religion are just as important as oxygen and CO2, they have killed nations and developed some.
10)Never take any opportunity for granted. See that school you have access to and hate so much, some other kid just wishes he had something close to that.
11)Classical music is good.
12)Read as many books as possible. No knowledge is ever lost.
13)Mom and Dad always wanted the best for you.

Lalasticala should deem this fit for front page! We're talking about issues that will save lives from the marauding "clergymen" as well as avoiding gullibility!
Mods PUSH THIS TO FP!

Kiki, please note that the world of reasonable people stood up for reasonable women and not all those who have made it their duty to sexualize themselves as objects yet denying it!
Help them learn and revert to natural reset so our teeming reasonable guys can marry!

Not all our players... It's an individual thing. Ndidi, Chukwueze, Ighalo, Musa, etc., are all in first teams, and in their class of greatness... Iheanacho and others chose to be lazy, greedy, and unserious...

Greatness is not anyone's birthright... Fortune favours the prepared.

I agree with you totally! For me Ndidi has the best chance to sit with the best! Sincerely hope he keeps his head and focus!!!

Davisk11:
always read your posts like thrice before you post online.. let be guided at all time

I'll do that sir....and if you read my lines thoroughly you will understand my position!

holllandis:
Just like how you are never and will never be great

Sorry for you sir...you live online to insult? You're not fit to unstrap the lace of my sandals yet...

Our players "train with, eat with snap with," but are never with the best in the class of greatness!!

oluwadabira111:
That thing still dey surprise me,how did the abian people voted the same man who virtually did noting in his first term, our igbo brother need to wake up from their deep slumber.

They're not asleep... they're very busy nosing into another state's own issues. Some are online looking to insult others!!

In a period where some Pastors are been accused of rape, movie producer, Leila Djansi has advised Ghanaians and her followers to desist from attending Churches Pastors are given superior treatment.
She made this known in a long write up she did on her Facebook wall
Her post read “Don’t attend a church where the pastor's chair is different from the members own and kingly. He’s not your king! Christ is.
Don’t attend a church where members go to the pastor's house to cook and clean and raise his children. That’s not what you were called to do. You are called to be Christ Ambassadors, not Pastor’s pawns.
Don’t attend a church that has no accountability. You must ask and see the books anytime. It’s your duty to the sacrifice of Christ to hold your leaders accountable.Don’t attend a church that’s always in the middle of a building project! God does not reside in temples. He’s in your heart. Build your heart for him!
Don’t attend a church that does not have a weekly outreach for the poor and needy in society. WEEKLY. You can’t have more revivals than outreach! Soup kitchens for the homeless, back to school bags for the students, job placement fairs for graduates, hospital and prison fellowship/visits, widows and orphans welfare programs.
Don’t attend a church where thrice a month, the sermon is about financial prosperity. God said not to worry about those things. The birds and flowers don’t, but they’re clothed and fed daily!
Don’t attend a church where women are coerced into being lesser than men. Jesus dragged Martha out of the kitchen to STUDY at his feet. Jesus likes smart women, ok.
Don’t attend a church where the pastor has more than 3 cars. Is he a car dealer?Don’t attend a church where a poor member cannot chair the harvest committee or host a church event. The church is not only for the rich and influential.
Don’t attend a church where rich people do not show up to sweep and clean, where men do not come to sweep and clean the chapel for service. Women are more than hewers of wood and fetchers of water.
Finally, know and understand the God in whom you have believed, so you are not misled!
Remember, quoting the bible doesn’t make you an ambassador for Christ. Just as visiting Dubai and bragging about it doesn’t make its president your friend.

This made a lot of sense to me so let's share it!
A BOLD QUESTION FOR MY WIFE

"Mom, do we disappoint you? Do you hate us? Do you hate your family?" Her child asked her.

She was driving her child home from school. Her husband was reading a newspaper. Her child was seated on the back seat, her husband on the front passenger seat.

"Why would you say something so stupid, I don't hate you. Don't be stupid" she shouted at her child as she drove on.

"Mom, that's the reason I asked. You shout at me so many times. You call me stupid. Yet you talk so loving to other people's children. When you came to pick me from school, you shouted at me in front of everyone because I was playing with other children with sand, yet you cheered at Boi as you watched him and his friends dance. You are so friendly to the neighbourhood children, you invite them home for a glass of juice but at home you make me feel I can't do anything right. You shout at me almost every day. I am scared. I envy other children and how loving you are towards them. I envy how you hug other children in Sunday School and do anything to make them smile"

"You even shout at dad and get really angry at him. Dad offered to drive us, but you spoke to him so rudely. I have noticed that whenever you talk harshly at dad, he picks up a newspaper and doesn't say a word to avoid fighting with you. Sometimes I think you treat your friends better than dad, your friends would never hear you talk badly at them. Do you always have to shout and be angry mom?"

She didn't say anything. She continued driving.

Her husband looked at her and put down the newspaper he was reading.

Her husband noticed she was changing directions.

She drove in to the parking of Uchumi Langata Hyper.

After parking, she unbuckled her seat belt, opened the door, got out of the car then opened the back seat door to where her child was sitting.

Her husband was concerned that she might scold their child in public. She's done it before.

Instead, she hugged and held her child closely and said, "I am sorry you feel that way. I don't hate you or your dad. I love you. I love my family. I am sorry sometimes I get angry, angry over even little things. I don't want to be an evil, ever grumpy mom so I will change. I will speak to you and dad better. I didn't know what I was doing is that bad. I don't hate you OK? I love you"

"I love you too mom" the child said.

"You should be enjoying childhood. It hurts to know that you envy how I treat other children. I am your mother, other children should be admiring how I treat you, not the other way round" she said then kissed her child on the forehead.

She looked in front to her husband, "Darling"

"Yes my love" her husband responded looking behind at her and the child.

"I am sorry also for treating you unfairly. I am sorry for taking you for granted knowing that as my husband you will always be there and feeling entitled to treat you whichever way I want. You are a good man. Even though many times I can be difficult, moody and hostile; you still extend grace and love to me. In addition to loving me, you love peace and that is why you'd rather keep quite than start an ugly confrontation with me. Thank you for keeping your cool when I am hot with temper. I am sorry sometimes I am warmer to others than to you. I will change that. I love you" she told her husband.

Her husband unbuckled his belt and reached out to her arm. He took her hand and kissed it.

"I love you my love. You're making it sound like you are a monster. You are a good wife and mother. It's just that you need to work on your temper and tongue. Relax my love, you have been blessed by a good family, enjoy it. You don't need to shout so that we know you're serious or so that we do what you request. You don't look good when veins of frustration pop on your head. Relax. Keep calm. You don't have to be in control of everything. Stop being anxious about every little thing. Enjoy us. Enjoy your family. Enjoy your life" her husband told her.

"Thank you, you two. Shall we go have a meal and drinks at the food court? My treat?" She asked.

"Yes mom, let's. I want a milkshake" the child got excited.

They all got out of the car. Holding hands, they walked to the food court as a loving family.


Check yourself and how you talk to your children and spouse. Do your tone and words speak life? Are you more hospitable to your friends, strangers, visitors, pastors than you are to your family? Don't make your family envy how you treat others yet family should come first

RDPMAN:
This people ehn, so what will happen after you spent the all the money

It's simply to impregnate his wife and the cycle continues! E no hard am at all

rusher14:
People blame government for poor town planning, yet it is the people who also compromise government officials with bribe.

Same society in which people condemn government for marking out houses to be demolished for failure to adhere to regulations.

Nigeria is made up of complex individuals.

You just took the words out of my mouth!
There lies our problem, we don't believe in order or ethic, we feel our wealth should determine how we like to have things done!
As long as we keep that mentality we shall remain under water in every sphere of life!

After watching several matches in the ongoing AFCON 2019.. I want to ask if there are any Nigerian referees officiating any matches whether as centre referee or assistant referees.

amdman:
Yes, but it has to be 4 cars per shipment

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Fingers crossed...

Good evening from Accra.
Any chance of your cars coming to Tema Port? Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the world of greed and selfish interest! Each leader in that LGA is only interested in surpassing his predecessor in looting! In 2007 the chairman of that LGA and his cohorts gobbled up world Bank funds that were meant to fix all these erosion and build bridges... here we are today...
Asked a few of the LGA staff why they don't stand up to challenge these leaders the answer I got was "Dem go jus kill you if you talk!"
So...let the looting continue...let nature also continue to devastate that area....

Er...that one about ghc 25,000 get as e be. She means she approached her former boyfriend for #2.1m naira equivalent? Seriously which man will give his married exfriend that amount for 2 hours of sex? Anyway... wetin I know self poor man like me!

czarina:
I think the first thing I notice is how people's houses smell. For some reason I always look forward to that usually homely smell.

Not "perfumy", just good ol' house smell. Some are not so pleasant sha, but then every dog has its day and on those days, I just count my losses and move on

Oh yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa... smells can determine how long you stay too!

fuckerstard:
Uhmmm

House maid turn nanny, some people will be wasting their husband's money. They will be collecting maid to carry baby, if my wife can't carry, I'll be there to carry my baby all day long. I fit carry am go office sef!

My mama wey dey work for national supply those days, still raise all her kids without a nanny or housemaid.

Bros, me and you get the same ideas. Na so I carry my 3 kids pass their Mama and today they're all good safe and strong... people even called me woman wrapper! It's just ego and feeling of superiority that makes people give maids their children to hold ALL the time. See how distress will disrupt this family now! And watch the mother wail.... you'd think she will flood the Niger river!

nams77:
I have thought about it but dropped the idea. I can't imagine getting up from home with the intention of going to buy a clock. I can't muster the willpower.
On the other hand, i love wrist watch. The only way i can buy a wall clock is if i miraculously find my self in a clock shop with loose changes in my pocket.
I was just kidding about the obsessive compulsive disorder. E never reach like that

Yooooo!
At least you get wristwatch...
Help me check time there I beg!

God will protect us from the things we can't do ourselves!
Anyway a word of advice: soakaway usually emits methane gas and is a potential explosive...so be careful as you put carbide into the pit....no fires around there please...cheers.

nams77:
Guy ...no clock for my house. Never had a wall clock all my life. Not when i was single and not even now that I'm married. Just worried how u will feel when u visit me
U are compulsively obsessed with wall clocks. See a psychologist
Obsessive compulsive disorder loading ....just kidding u tho

Nice advice bro! But the situation is not as bad as it is! But I bet you'll from hence really begin to think about putting one on your wall!

sisisioge:



That means you would be restless in my house....no clock o.

Haaa...I'll really be!

I believed that lizard eggs would prevent our opponents from scoring a goal so we put some behind our goalposts! One day a guy had dribbled everyone including our goalkeeper and had only the goal at his mercy! Incredibly he stumbled and fell just as he prepared to shoot at goal!! We quickly recovered and cleared the ball to safety!
That increased our belief!
But now I know better...even though I still can't explain the coincidence that led to the guy missing a cheap goal! But maybe I should ask Aiyegbeni...

Safitu:
Weird...

Very complimentary! Thanks!

Since I was young and now I'm crowding my late 40s I find that when I enter an enclosure, be it a house or an office doesn't matter if it's my house or not...car or hospital or church or just about anywhere...my eyes look for the CLOCK first and foremost.
I note the time, cross-check if it's correct then begin to unconsciously admire or rate the clock! This happens irrespective of situation: Happy, sad, serious, jocular or official!
Does this happen to anyone here? Share yours....

This really got me rolling on the floor!!!
Funny that I got the same thing this morning and my reply sent the guy packing as he blocked me ASAP!!!

Hope her parents feel good about this! I wonder if her father or uncles will have a hard on just watching it!
Ok... I'm not sure I should say something her anyway after all...wetin I sabiiiiiiiiiiii.....

@healthquest: you have to pull yourself together and take care of yourself and your family. I've always said that once you're able to toast a lady and sleep with her it means you have already prepared for the consequences of your actions. It doesn't happen overnight and I tell you don't think of abortion.
Don't begin to imagine what people will say rather think about your family. Speak with your wife and develop a relationship that's based on guiltless feeling. Free your mind face your work and when the child is born nuture it with love also... remember there's the future! What it holds...no one knows!
Get your act together and pay the bride price and be legally wedded before God and man.
Advice: discuss family planning with professionals. Always go along with your wife. Take the decisions together that way no one will feel left out.
Cheers.

....and her parents will see this and give her a pat on the back!
Mother: nice picture my dear daughter, it's lovely.
Father; oh yes! Such a great pose! Those clothes look fantastic on you... you're the true reflection of us!....
Some parents though....SMH

How good do those who drink feel? Feelings based on alcohol? If I drink alcohol I will feel good... better than those who don't! So...suppose I didn't get to drink I'll be depressed...then I must always have a drink to feel good! And the cycle continues....soon everything will be tied to drinking! Then comes the downward spiral!!! Then....the guessing...the anticipation...the blaming...then....the END!
