Good morning all.


How come it didn't make news that 8 days ago, @oluremitinubu moved a motion in the @NGRSenate for #EndSARS ?

It's such an interesting thing that Tinubu's wife was actually interested in #EndSARS and 8 days before protests erupts

AsomughaChuks05:
It was alleged that Peter Obi ordered that man to be tortured so that he could confess the truth about the human heads found in his upper class hotel. But the man has denied having human heads in his hotel. Well, Peter Obi demolished the hotel anyway. Instead of blaming the SARS commander who was merely carrying out orders, why not blame the man who ordered your torture and demolished your hotel?

Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed has justified President Buhari's comparism of fuel price in Nigeria to Saudi Arabia, in his Independence day speech.



Recall that Buhari in his Independence day speech said “We sell petrol at N161 per litre when same is sold at N168 per litre in Saudi Arabia; N211 per litre in Egypt; N362 per litre in Ghana; N362 per litre in Chad, and N346 per litre in Niger Republic. It does not make sense for petrol to be cheaper in Nigeria than Saudi Arabia."



The President's speech ignited controversy as critics insisted that Saudi Arabia have a higher minimum wage, standard of living and infrastructure than Nigeria.



Lai Mohammed however defended the Nigerian leader while featuring in a Radio Nigeria current affairs programme, “Radio Link’’ in Abuja on Saturday October 3. He said;

In a century where technology rules in the affairs of man, it’s somewhat difficult believing the existence of some spirits in the midst of man.

However, the spirits regardless of how advanced we are as a people do exist and play huge roles in the affairs of man and woman. These spirits both foul and positive play influential roles in the lives of man.

According to 29-year-old Bernice Nija, the spirits play a vital role in her life giving her the best sexual feeling but translates into a sordid life in the physical world.

To Bernice, life after a night of sexual fun with what she describes as a spirit husband has been turbulent. She says” I’ve had to go through several stages in my life with this spirit. I’ve lost two marriages just because of this spirit and my life has been moving from bad to worse in my twenty-nine years journey”.

Ordinarily, mothers help in fighting these spirits when they haunt their children but for Bernice, her mother seems to be the brain behind it.

She says her mother has boldly told her that she was destined for prostitution and if she does not succumb to her calling of being the girl of the night, her life will continue to be adverse with dwindling fortunes.

“My mother has mentioned on several occasions that I should forget about getting a husband because she brought me to this earth to practice prostitution. I’ve tried my best with life by engaging in things that will not push me “

“Lucky for me, after several years of suffering, I finally was introduced to my father who has been abroad for some time and is well to do. We spoke severally on phone and was given the assurance of a good life. However, I did not hear from my father again and the numerous promises made to me just went with the wind,” she said about a period in her life when she thought she had a window of hope and a life-changing opportunity.

After several struggles with life in the Volta region and left with four children with no husband, Bernice has moved to Accra where she sells water for a living and has to sleep on some benches with one of her children who is four years old.

Until heavens smile, Bernice is not hopeful of a breakthrough in her life.

That doesn't answer the question.

How will getting gifts shared at birthdays make a child think wealth is gifted instead of earned?

How does getting shared gifts on birthdays make a child think wealth is gifted and not earned?

ImaIma1:
As a parent, I won't tell my child to accept only inexpensive gifts shared at birthdays and reject the expensive ones. How is the child to know which one is expensive.

What am I teaching her? To despise expensive items and only be open to receiving cheap or average things?

This is obviously not about the child but about the parent's inferiority complex and insecurities...already being intimidated by other's wealth.

No one is asking that you must reciprocate in like manner. There are more thoughtful affordable items that can be shared that would even be more appreciated than the ps4.

No need for parents to feel intimidated and extend it to their children.

ImaIma1:
That is left to the parents to regulate but many parents have failed in that area. Even the gifts that the parents themselves buy for their children can influence their conduct.

So it has nothing to do with who gives the gift but how the parents can make sure the gifts do not have a negative influence on the children.

ImaIma1:
What does this even mean? That life operates on gifts? Most of us grew up sharing gifts and receiving them. Did it makes us think life operates on gifts?

We have to make sure we teach our children the most important values and they will grow up with them so that they will have the sense to know that working hard for their money and receiving gifts are two different things.

Let's not as parents, make a wrong judgement based on our own bias and mindset and impose it on our children. God will gives us wisdom

A Nigerian Army colonel, M.Z Manu, has been killed bandits in Unguwar Doka Village under Faskari Local Government Area of Katsina State.

SaharaReporters gathered that the colonel and some soldiers, who were on routine patrol, ran into an ambush by the bandits, which led to his death.

Two other soldiers and some civilians were also killed by the gunmen.

A security source said the bandits, armed with AK-47 rifles, invaded the village on motorcycles before launching the deadly attack.

The killing of Manu happened five days after another, colonel, D.C. Bako, was killed in a Boko Haram ambush in Borno State.

Katsina State had in recent months been grappling with security challenges posed by kidnappers, bandits and rustlers.

ImaIma1:
What is wrong with your child accepting it? Is it because it is expensive? What if it was the regular bubbles blower, writing materials, crayon, ribena? Will you refuse that? Are people appalled to expensive things?

I might not be able to afford that kind of gift now but if it is shared in my child's class as long as didn't steal or beg for it, it will be appreciated like any other gift.

bukatyne:
Funny how people shouting 'poverty mentality', 'inferiority complex' etc. are actually the ones exhibiting it.

It takes guts and principle to return such a gift.

What I expect from the OP is to graduate from the Naija way by telling his daughter why he decided to return the gift and using that as a father - daughter bonding session teaching morals and values.

It is only 'I never chop' that accepts everything that comes their way.

Perhaps there might have been a less aggressive way to handle the situation like talking to the Proprietary staff and teachers without returning it, he took a stance and acted it out.

When according to his training manual he feels it right for his daughter to have a PS4 or latest version out, she will.

There was a thread on Oloshoism amongst young ladies today. It started from somewhere.

KLand:
Your point is understood but I wouldn't take the gift back if I were you.

It is not by force to buy expensive gifts when it's your child's turn to celebrate. Just buy what you can afford. That's all.

Bj5all:
This man has a serious mental problem. If someone gift you a car or a modern house, you will reject it because you can afford to reciprocate the kind gesture?

Hisssss, in your mind you have done something noble and worthy of praise?

I pity your children.

atiku4President:
You are entitled to your opinion. However, I doubt if you have any; hence you have quickly resorted to insults. I doubt if you understand the way the minds of children work. Perhaps, when you have one, you will learn the hard way.

Wiseandtrue:
That will be your portion in Jesus name. Amen, amen amen.

motherlode:
Teaching good precepts... Well, it all depends!

To all of you shouting Poverty mentality... I really do hope you understand that as parents, you are obliged to train your own child the best way you deem fit. The OP has done his own part for the sake of nurturing his child in the way and manner he deems fit... Do your own part for your children, it will all tell in the future.

Receiving the birthday gift isn't the problem here... I think the major problem here is the fact that the gift made the OP look like he couldn't have appreciated his own child more than someone else did.

The mind of that child at such infant age isn't well developed enough to understand the consequential damages that can happen. It's then up to the parent to show the child that parental love is much more valuable than the PS4 itself!

SUPERPACK:
It is simple, get a better speaker around 10 in number and blast gospel songs at a higher volume than theirs at the exact time their prayer call starts. Madness can easily be cured by another madness.

StagethemTVee:
Birds of a feather do flock together as an angry Elite agreed Laycon would be winning the 85 million naira prize money but went on to lay curses on him just like their role model did. This is what you get when a bunch of bitter and broken people form a clan. Here they are supporting one female who has no idea of their existence while cursing another female that has not yet even been born.
