oh Lord! I thought I was alone in this! my dad passed on 18 years ago...I was like numb for a few months before I wept for his demise...
had to shoulder a lot of challenges thereafter and now each time I see my kids I suddenly miss him cos he passed before I got married. I always feel I need him to see them and enjoy the fruit of his labour so I can really do lots of things with him....but fate....I sincerely miss him! (sigh)
cheer up bro ...

hello, any 17inch screen HP 12GB 500gb hard disc 2.4 process speed? urgent pls I live in minna

john Denver: Annie's song, perhaps love, different directions, whispering Jesse, Shanghai breezes....etc
Elton John: love her like me, true love, Tiny Dancer, .....so many of the songs by the above mentioned musicians speak of love in it's very pure state!! words are deep and touching!

sometimes I wonder if people know what it means to toast date and marry!
both man and wife should see a trained counseling guru.
all this pack out come back like seesaw will impact negatively on the child soon.
but first sit your friend down and ask him if he has ever thought about the future. has he ever thought he'd need his wife's support in finance emotion or physical support in future? no one knows tomorrow, he thinks because she depends on him therefore he has the right to torture her ....time will tell. then again tell him that soon the wife will become numb to his threats and move out and never return... possibly fall into the arms of a caring man and never look back.
love covers a MULTITUDE of shortcomings he should know that. therefore if he doesn't treat her with love ...chances of his losing her is VERY high!.
the wife should attempt to bluff his chasing her out by tactfully sleeping in the parlour sometimes and pretend to "feel" him..once he falla for it its then the time for her to stand up for her position in the home by talking some sweet sense into his head.
I'm sure she's well received at her safe house that's why she meekly goes...else with her back against the wall....she will fight to stay.
long and short...see a qualified marriage counseling guru....not pastor please. thanks.
NB
be sure to tell your friend to drop his very selfish attitude and stupid pride...else his family life is gone for good!

It seems to me that Ben Bruce Lee even after all his years in media and advertising, is still not a very good script writer and producer...

Ben Bruce Lee was the DPO the kidnapping was reported to!
and Ben Bruce Lee is also the news station that broadcast the news...Live!!!

I just hope he's summoned by the police to explain in DETAIL all that transpired!
he should take the police to the wilderness where he his away from the kidnappers...how he escaped with his phone (which was switched off but still with him) ran for 11 hours in the forest without being seen by hunters or farmers or without his apparent knowledge of where the tar leading from abuja to lokoja...
wonderful!! Dino just played his penalty into the touchline!
over to his supporters and the LAW of the land...

Millions of people will have the opportunity to see a lunar eclipse – an event popularly known in the media as a “blood moon” – on Friday July 27. Visible for most of the world – only North America and Greenland are expected to miss out – it’s set to be the
longest one this century , so there is plenty of time to take a look.
During such an eclipse, the full moon moves into the shadow of the Earth cast by the sun, and is momentarily darkened. Some sunlight still reaches the moon, refracted by the Earth’s atmosphere, however, illuminating it with an ashen to dark red glow, the colour depending on atmospheric conditions.
As a communicator of astronomy, the term “blood moon” is a major thorn in my side, since it suggests something other than a lunar eclipse and conjures images of a moon shimmering in crimson red colours, which is not at all accurate. But as a cultural astronomer, the phrase displays some of the interesting ways in which modern society creates its sky stories.
Lunar eclipses have fascinated cultures across the globe, and inspired several striking myths and legends, many of which portray the event as an omen. This is not surprising, since if anything interrupts the regular rhythms of the sun or moon it impacts strongly upon us and our lives .
Lunar malevolence
For many ancient civilisations, the “blood moon” came with evil intent. The ancient Inca people interpreted the deep red colouring as a jaguar attacking and eating the moon. They believed that the jaguar might then turn its attention to Earth, so the people would shout, shake their spears and make their dogs bark and howl, hoping to make enough noise to drive the jaguar away.
In ancient Mesopotamia , a lunar eclipse was considered a direct assault on the king. Given their ability to predict an eclipse with reasonable accuracy, they would put in place a proxy king for its duration. Someone considered to be expendable (it was not a popular job), would pose as the monarch, while the real king would go into hiding and wait for the eclipse to pass. The proxy king would then conveniently disappear, and the old king be reinstated.
Some Hindu folktales interpret lunar eclipses as the result of the demon Rahu drinking the elixir of immortality. Twin deities the sun and moon promptly decapitate Rahu, but having consumed the elixir, Rahu’s head remains immortal. Seeking revenge, Rahu’s head chases the sun and moon to devour them. If he catches them we have an eclipse – Rahu swallows the moon, which reappears out of his severed neck.
For many people in India, a lunar eclipse bears ill fortune. Food and water are covered and cleansing rituals performed. Pregnant women especially should not eat or carry out household work, in order to protect their unborn child.
A friendlier face
But not all eclipse myths are beset by such malevolence. The Native American Hupa and Luiseño tribes from California believed that the moon was wounded or ill. After the eclipse, the moon would then need healing, either by the moon’s wives or by tribesmen. The Luiseño, for example, would sing and chant healing songs towards the darkened moon.
Altogether more uplifting is the legend of the Batammaliba people in Togo and Benin in Africa. Traditionally, they view a lunar eclipse as a conflict between sun and moon – a conflict that the people must encourage them to resolve. It is therefore a time for old feuds to be laid to rest, a practice that has remained until this day.
In Islamic cultures, eclipses tend to be interpreted without superstition. In Islam, the sun and moon represent deep respect for Allah, so during an eclipse special prayers are chanted including a Salat-al-khusuf, a “prayer on a lunar eclipse” . It both asks Allah’s forgiveness, and reaffirms Allah’s greatness.
A misleading history
Returning once more to blood, Christianity has equated lunar eclipses with the wrath of God, and often associates them with the crucifixion of Jesus. It is notable that Easter is the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring , ensuring that an eclipse can never fall on Easter Sunday, a potential mark of Judgement Day.
Indeed, the term “blood moon” was popularised in 2013 following the release of the book Four Blood Moons by Christian minister John Hagee. He promotes an apocalyptic belief known as the “blood moon prophecy” highlighting a lunar sequence of four total eclipses that occurred in 2014/15. Hagee notes that all four fell on Jewish holidays, which has only happened three times before – each apparently marked by bad events.
The prophecy was dismissed by Mike Moore (General Secretary of Christian Witness to Israel) in 2014, but the term is still regularly used by the media and has become a worrying synonym for a lunar eclipse. Given the enduring superstitions, it is profoundly unhelpful for science communicators trying to remind everyone that the so-called “blood moon” is nothing to be feared. It may be impressive, and it may be the longest for a century, but it is simply an eclipse.
So, by using the term “blood moon”, we are combining superstition with science , just as the Hindu folktale of Rahu provides a legendary description of lunar orbital mechanics. The “blood moon” attracts interest in the sky and lunar eclipses, but rather than awaiting doom and destruction we can better view it along the lines of the Islamic interpretation – as a monumental illustration of the fascinating and real motions of our solar system.
So my suggestion is this: watch the lunar eclipse as how the sky unfolds above you. Give it your own name, give it your own meaning, and enjoy it with your friends and family. And I think you’ll find that the term “blood moon” cannot do justice to the wonder of what you’re watching.

LESSON:
you're planning to take a girl out and you're genuinely interested in her....don't give her a blank check outing...let her know your budget BEFORE you go out( you can do so stylishly of course....if you don't know how ask me). She then assesses you and determines you're not in her class or you're just who and how she wants her man....then you're assured or you ensure....the choice is yours!

This is Nigeria.....

No maintenance culture.
The poor masses are more wicked than the elites.

Come to my area and see how they keep destroying borehole that was built by a serving State House Member.
Even Transformers are destroyed on daily bases.
It's Appalling.

People are so wicked and heartless, especially the very poor ones.

it's really true! poor and blatantly ignorant! yet they cry more about being neglected!
i am trying hard to understand why the poor and lowly have this kinda mentality!
any misfortune that befalls anyone from this destructive act now is seen as "government hates poor man"!

Noel1:
What is mars?

Watch for the moon to pair up with Saturn on or near July 24 and with Mars on or near July 27 , the same date that the full moon is totally eclipsed by the Earth’s dark shadow.

Why? Why risk your life just because you want to be admired by a man? Why not live the way God created you?

Ladies, if your man doesn't love your natural body, then he truly doesn't love you. Trust me, you will still get a man that would appreciate that flat yansh, flat boobs, etc!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

had written this in bolded letters, still they will read and not learn the lesson!
I always ask: can the clay tell the moulder how it should be moulded? or shaped? or textured?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!

I don't feel comfortable when people come on TV to garnish their English with a show of cosmetics and phonetics...let's stay true to our individual married lives or determine by commission or commission to cheat or destroy our homes... those painted faces on TV don't know where your shoe pinches! and you dont know theirs either!

hopefulLandlord:
Christians should be very watchful of their utterances against Pastor Tony Boateng as Yahweh works in mysterious ways and his wisdom looks like foolishness unto man.

Yahweh once told the Israelites to kill all midianites but keep young virgin girls as war booty. This sounds wrong to us but whatever Yahweh commands is wise even if it looks wrong in our limited knowledge he has his reasons

Yahweh figuratively destroyed Saul for not totally destroying the Amalekites

Yahweh once told Ezekiel to eat bread baked with human shiit

Same way Yahweh sent lying spirits to Ahab's prophets. This also sounds wrong to us but he has his reasons we aren't privy to and he answers to no one

Yahweh also hardened Pharaoh's heart while using that as opportunity to send more plagues and kill innocent people until all firstborn sons of the Egyptians are dead. This also sounds cruel but that's Yahweh showing us his loving power and nobody should question him

Yahweh struck Onan dead for refusing to cum into his brother's wife's vagyna



its possible Yahweh instructed Pastor Tony Boateng to do what he did and he might have his reasons so we should not use our limited knowledge to judge what a man talking to a being of unlimited knowledge does. Beware not to bring a curse upon your lives and future generations by attacking a true men of Yahweh

I beg read your scriptures very well so you don't get deceived. if this practice were genuine then Jesus would have done it...the apostles who's miracles left no one in doubt would have done it...these "prophets" are fakes!

now...Rita Edochie will expect men to respect this kinda lady? how will this one regard motherhood? as babymama or as wife?
i beg to be corrected please...

the older respectable women should teach self worth to the young ladies of nowadays please...nudity and loss of value has become the currency in many ladies account!!
something has to be done urgently to restore sanity!!

Phygo:
Burial is bea. That one got me laughing.

Craziestgirl:
Hehehehehe
And I thought guys have balls. 2 little ones in their boxers and 1 big one in their head!

You are housing your Ex,
and fraternizing with your Judas.

you just painted a classic picture! they say a picture tells a thousand tales!!!
let's reverse the case for the OP to reason...if it was he who was comfy with a babe and refs to her the way this lady does...does he think his GF will let it pass?

Stallion93:
thanks bro, but somehow I've gotten used to living this way, Most times I try to socialize I just end up Embarrassing myself Super introverts try to over please people to camouflage being introverts so they are taken for granted most times. Worst is in Nigeria, everyone wants u to be sharp and when u show otherwise then you're a weakling. God help us all, but I'll never raise my kids this way nor in this place

glad to hear from you bro...
your determination to break out of that stereotype shows you're on track! Yes, in Nigeria everyone thinks being quiet is a sign of weakness... just be yourself and keep your head high those you relate with will surely come to understand...
I'm happy to hear you're not going to raise your kids in that manner... all the best in your endeavours...

Stallion93:
Me too, I'm a super introvert now and all blames to my parents. My self esteem is zero, I can't get out of it so most times I just stay isolated, alcohol helps me tho, I feel much better after some booze. I guess they're lot's of youngsters like me out there too on some serious substance abuse or who just turned psychopaths. Such is Life

oh dear oh dear! now you have added to my heart break!
but there's a way out...its not via alcohol or any of such...you need a true friend...that's not easy to get but keep focus and you will soon find one...male or female. but that person will be one who puts you first in thoughts and deed.
make a conscious effort first to go to a movie or dance with someone and try to probe him or her to tell you about their fears and tears then you will see that everyone has issues but listen....Paul Simon said in a song...."if I have weaknesses I don't let them blind me...I'll camouflage all I'm weary of"
so....let's start...take a walk this evening and feel the wind in your hair...your head....and your heart!
you're whom you say you are....STALLION!

Stallion93:
For real, U can imagine parents yelling rubbish at their children , things like "Shut up! Don't talk! C'mon get out! Useless boy and Foolish Girl!" Too much to list them out, Completely killing the child's self esteem. How a child crying after receiving a serious beating is being beaten again to stop crying

this is really what breaks my heart! when a parent begins to say such of course the child's self esteem gets eroded!
my God, I know what it took me to build up when I reached adulthood!

largely true! routine helps a lot especially when you fine your kids seem disobedient to you. arranging chores by time will help put them in a better frame of mind! I've applied that principle since with my kids and I find that the lazy ones also don't mind the work!!
thanks OP you did a good job
please try to do one in the setting of our Nigerian families.... we don't read stories to our kids!

mein Gott!! fantastic!! I'm hopeful we shall talk soon enough!

formidable!!
