If you've been living with them for some years, it is very possible that she still sees you as that 'little boy' with no harm intended. However, if you are not comfortable with it, there are ways you could ignore her call, or approach her politely. (to the pure, all things are pure)

..doing about these gruesome school attacks !?!?? I thought they were commissioned and have received enough funding to tackle things like this?

Sadly, aside the fact that children in Northern Nigeria constitutes a huge percentage of the total statistics of out of school children in Nigeria (about 9million), the FEW that have decided to go to school have suffered worse calamity...#Which way Nigeria?

Appliedmaths:
I'm currently working on my BSc project, and my topic is STREET TRADING AND INCOME GENERATION AMONG YOUTHS IN BENIN CITY. You would agree with me that street trading is the largest sector of the very large informal economy in most developing countries Nigeria included. The issue at hand goes beyond "right or wrong", "morally acceptable of not". Well I'm on the other side of the argument that sees street trading activity as a "life saver" in terms of generating income for families and also reducing social vices in its own quota. After interviewing these youths (aged 13-30 tops, for my research purpose) via questionnaire and one-on-one interaction, it may interest you to know that some of them are getting quality education at the moment and at the same time assisting their parents in generating income for living. On the other hand, some of the youth street traders don't even have formal education. So the argument goes on,I'm still on the process of empirically proving my stand that street trading activities among youths in benin city has done more good than harm to the lives of the families involved and the economy at large.

I stay in ekosodin, when the comrade governor in the person of his excellency adams oshiomole placed a ban on. bikes(okada) in ekosodin Beinn city just behind UNIBEN, for the 1st 3weeks to 1 and the half month bros we had sleepless night. The hostel robbery increased and the " street obtaining also increased." After the 1st 2month, keke-napep and taxis were "fully" introduced and the crime rate decreased to a minimal (mind you not totally).

So yet again, the arguments goes on. But in my point of view, leave the children/youths to engage in street trading activities. If we are ready to curb street trading activities among youths/children then I suggest that the Government at all tiers, relevant organizations and the community need to have a round table discussion. Until then, LET THE CHILDREN/YOUTH TRADE FREELY ON THE STREES if not for anything at least for the very fact that the positive side of the coin sustains families and reduces social vices to a minimum.

My work is still in progress...

It would have been okay to let the children trade freely on the streets IF there are no high risks involved, especially for those who run after moving vehicles on expressway. It's damn too risky. And, that was why I shared the link above..www.rsnnigeria..com/2014/11/boys-on-street_8.html?m=1

Do you know how many of them get knocked down on expressways on daily basis? Maybe you should do some research work on that, too.

It's quite okay if children trade on less busy road, and not expressways. This is a NO-NO for me. Kindly read up the short reflection on that link, pls. Thanks.

Interesting topic.


While child labour is illegal, and frowned at, sometimes you just can't help but patronise these children because patronising them is as good as supporting them and putting food on their table. Poverty is the root cause. Sadly, not all of them really want to do this, but they don't have an option. Consequently, they are 'bread-winners' in their respective homes.

Someone shared her opinion here too: www.rsnnigeria..nl/2014/11/boys-on-street_8.html?m=1

She 'speaks' so graciously.

SideNote: Doing God's will is not without some resistance. God still speaks in clear terms...regardless.

It looks real. I was going to confirm from a friend who works there, until I saw her name in the letter.

Best wishes, you!

Today Owelle Rochas Okorocha has understood his people very well, that is why he never declare his presidential intention inIgbo land because he knew even if APC hands over the presidential ticket to him GEJ will still defeat him in Igbo land. That is why he is trying to build his political stronghold in the north. From history since 1960 Ndi- Igbo has supported every government in power. They have never opposed any Government before in their life that is why the entire nation don't take them serious for anything.Today they are insulting Owelle Rochas just because he refuse:d to be a slave to GEJ just like Peter Obi & co who sold AGPA to PDP. In OBJ era this same Ndi-Igbo was insulting & abusing OrjiKalu just because he was opposed to OBJ. Today the Igbo's on a daily basis abuse & insult their first class sister Dr.Obiageli Ezekwesili just because she is leading a protest against the failed GEJ's govt who refused to rescue the Chibok little girls andthis same Ndi-igbo on daily basis praise andworship ignorant Mrs.GEJ who can never recognize her right from left. Some thing is wrong with my tribe Ndi-Igbo, we have to say the truth even if it will hurt them." "Culled from #SaharaReportersFacebookPage #Thoughtful

It wouldn't be a bad idea if we all observe some minutes of prayers for DJDOLA while we await feedback from his brother/visiting NL member.

And, maybe we should not be quick to blame him nor his family members yet for choosing to go to the clinic centre in Oyo state, because some posts of his, above show how much he incessantly sought our opinion in this regard. He kept asking for our opinion until his family resorted to this...

We have tried our best, we wish him well and would keep believing God to heal him wholly. It's a difficult moment for all of us, really. still can't get my attention off his case since I stumbled across this thread.

DJDOLA, It is well with your soul.

I took this picture, yesterday in Lagos.

Modified: I can't see the picture uploaded, yet... don't know if it's my phone. :/

Modified: Fixed.

I beleive that my mum is the only one who has hameds photocopied test results and hospital documents which I asked her to obtain as the proof that nairalanders wanted when the first verification went pear shaped and the poster was left alone

My mama will hand over those documents to me tomorrow.
The best thing since this is verified would have been for my mama to return them to the poster,however I don't expect an 80 year old mama to get back in the car and make another 4 hour round trip to the other side of Lagos

Please not everyone is a scammer and if nairalanders had given this guy some benefit of the doubt from the onset things wouldn't have taken this long in the first instance

You've always been a blessing. May God bless you and mama, more. Amen. Thank you for doing this, Chaircover.


Op, my prayers are with you. May God heal you in Jesus name. Amen.

Bros I will do u sometin on monday, bank nor work for my location on weekends. @caracta, pls anytin worth doin, is worth doin well. U delayed dis man's help to dis point wit ur ineffective n inpatient verification n report initially ! If u knw u dnt hav enuf time to confirm dis man's story, why did u go to d hospital at all? U really annoyed me wit those silly excuses abt the rains n 30mins of waitin, no calls or text bla bla bla, abi u be salt wey rain nor suppose touch? #nonsense!

Same thought! However, it is so relieving to know that he is still alive. Thank God. Op, God bless and heal you in Jesus name. Do not hesitate to call for prayers, too. Prayers changes thing..

This thread reminds me of Stephen's Story (Google/Facebook It!!). Really, I did not know what a bucket list was all about until I stumbled across his page on facebook.. He was such an incredible 19 year old guy with some remarkable things on his bucket list...(He achieved most of them, despite his poor health, such an hero).



I don't have a list, yet...Don't want to think about having any yet ...still enjoying the benefits and privileges that each day brings.

She just passed across a very salient message. Let's hope that those at the football federation who think everything is all about money get a rethink.

Nigeria is worth playing for, Nigeria is worth dying for. It's still a Great Nation, regardless of those 'unfortunate' leaders we've had...and, still have. :/ : )

This thread isn't as 'pointless', 'foolish' and 'useless' as some members have termed it. It is insightful. Absolutely.
We could only hope, pray that God's will be done. And, that Pastor Adeboye does the perfect will of God in this regards. As Christians, you do not do things because others are doing it. Nor do you run because others are running, but because God blew the whistle.

Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke already got a successor, though he is still alive, healthy and still preaches around the world....yet, he's got this part of the puzzle fixed, but, then, who are we to compare... Both are men of God and they recognise His voice.

Don't let Pastor Adeboye to 'number Israel'. It could be suicidal. Numbering Israel might be a good idea, but not God-inspired.

That alternate fine of N50,000 'spoilt' the show.

Now, the tenant is still gonna move out of the house and bear the brunt of property that got destroyed...without the landlord paying a dime.

Poor judgement...

If only he or she could take a walk to organisations. He will definitely get that job with the right skills, it is not all about certifications.

Sadly, this is easier said than practised by organisations. We are still in a certificate-driven nation. Same reason why companies would prefer B.Sc certificate to HND.

You ride in good cars, they complain and call you names.. You ride in a poor car, they still got names for you... Really, there is no cure to human satisfaction. Just be YOU... And let them say.

Best wishes to Fayose and the people of Ekiti State.

The most amount have won is 28k... but I used almost everything to play again hoping to win more money. I have close to 65k altogether playing this game.. but I hope to win big very soon by God's grace

Did you just say God's Grace?!?!?

Hian....! You don't need His precious grace in 'kalokalo' acts. It's demeaning. Abeg, utilise that grace on something that God would be proud of.

Thumbs up.

These guys are exploring...! Utilising their God-given potentials to the maximum. Sadly, it seems we have more of angry mob in Africa than explorers/researchers. #PovertyKillsDream. :/

I feel more for Titilola (Eldest Child/Daughter). She is always looking down in all of the photographs., I guess she has 'so much' to talk about... She needs a confidant, a mentor... a motherly figure. #poorChild


Well, the goodnews is that their father showed up. Good on them.,

Good to know that their father is still alive: hope rekindled for those children.

Let's await their mama's response to the story, too after 7Years....(Sighs) It's unimaginable what those three children must have gone through -the trauma.

Thanks to PUNCH Metro for doing the needful.

Summarily, the Dogs are in Police Custody...Dogs on trial, Dogs awaiting Court Verdict!, Dogs are Culprits. Poor things.. Whatever happened to the owner of the dogs? He got to be paraded too for compliance, since he refused to do nothing about taming his pets

#Just sharing my thought.

omg! i just excitedly announced the news/headline to my family...only to read later..that the news emanates from FNN (Fake News). This is so unfair...op.

it is well...

Mogidi: We buy phones for its usefulness not feelings, if you want to feel something magical trying holding a girls a.z.z.

smh.

People buy phones for other reasons aside its usefulness.. And what instigates magical feelings could be SO relative, absolutely. So please take note.

is this a consolation thread...? A p p l e l e a d s.

iPhone is only good in design and UI, nothing else.

*Aside the graphical user interface design, the feeling of holding one could be so magical.
