people makes that mistake of thinking school is a money making place, so once they go to school, they will automatically make it in life, forgetting that school is just a place where you go to acquire knowledge that will prepare you and help you navigate the path to success. School is indeed not a scam any day anytime 💯💯

CLOUDRepublic:
I am writing this out of fear and out of being inquisitive. People that are poor, why are they poor?


I didn't grow up in a rich neighborhood. My estate was mixture of civil servants, government workers and petty traders. Everybody relying on each other for one thing or the other

But as time went on, I started to observe other kids saying and some times telling me I'm from a rich home.
Of course, that was their perception since they are oblivious of the struggles my family faced always waiting "for end of the month".
And never enough money to last a whole month.

As time went by, I started being conscious of people looking scrawny and wearing just one type of clothes with less colour. Dry looking skin, feet and wearing palm sandals.

I didn't like that kind of dressing so I always wore a white canvas mum bought for me meant for church. I also used to wear one I acquired from my brother by "rite of passage"🤔

When they see me, they always stared at me and even laughed at me that I was wearing a fine canvas. I tried to explain to them that it keeps the skin dust free and neat nails. These people call me Ajebutter.

It didn't make any sense to me. Why would you laugh at me for wearing something good? I felt we should always try to solve a problem when we observe it... Instead of thinking we are strong and exposing the skin to harm

I was still a kid but it gradually became obvious most of these people were poor.

Before you can become rich, you must first of all believe you will become rich by having the mindset, then secondly, you will sit urself down and think of the Job or business you can venture into at an early stage that will push you there in the nearest future 💯

Something very awful and heartbreaking just happened o.

I played cat and mouse with one small rat at my house yesterday evening, so I set a trap for it. By morning, two tiny rats got caught in the glue board trap. Fantastic.

I didn't want to bother with the yucky experience if disposing them this morning, so I took the board outside thinking I'll deal with the disposal later.

I just remembered it this evening and, unfortunately, this beautiful bird had been caught alongside the rats. I suppose it was probably the rats that attracted the bird.

I feel sorry for this bird because the glue they use to make this board is so strong; I doubt I'll be able to extricate the bird without harming it. I don't even know the name of this bird. What I know is it is beautiful, and shouldn't have to suffer this experience.

Sad.

Yeah, it’s definitely not for him/her, but he/she came for the rescue of the trappee😃😃

FactsZoneAfrica:
Modern football is filled with stories of players whose backgrounds span multiple continents and cultures. Few embody that reality better than Zion Suzuki, the talented goalkeeper who has emerged as one of Japan's brightest football stars.

Born in the United States to a Ghanaian father and a Japanese mother, Suzuki's journey is a remarkable story of identity, perseverance, and football excellence. While many fans know him today as Japan's first-choice goalkeeper and one of the most promising young shot-stoppers in world football, his path to the top has been shaped by a unique multicultural upbringing.

From his early years in Japan to his development at Urawa Red Diamonds, a loan spell in Belgium, and his rise in Italy's Serie A with Parma, Suzuki has steadily built a reputation as one of the most exciting goalkeepers of his generation.

With several European clubs reportedly monitoring his progress and past links to Manchester United, many believe that an even bigger move could be on the horizon.

Early Life and Family Background

Zion Suzuki was born on August 21, 2002, in Little Rock, Arkansas, United States.

His father is Ghanaian, while his mother is Japanese. Although he was born in America, his family relocated to Japan when he was still very young, meaning that most of his childhood and formative years were spent in Japan.

Growing up in Japan, Suzuki was immersed in Japanese culture, education, and society. This upbringing would ultimately shape his identity and football career.

One aspect of his background that often attracts curiosity is his surname. Despite having a Ghanaian father, he carries his mother's Japanese surname, Suzuki.

The decision was likely influenced by practical considerations connected to the family's permanent move to Japan. In Japanese society, family registration systems, school enrollment processes, legal documentation, and citizenship matters generally function more smoothly when individuals use Japanese surnames.

For a family planning to establish permanent roots in Japan, using a Japanese surname would naturally simplify integration into daily life.

Today, Suzuki holds Japanese citizenship and proudly represents Japan at international level while also embracing his African heritage through his Ghanaian roots.

Discovering Football

Like many young boys in Japan, Suzuki developed a passion for football at an early age.

Standing out because of his impressive height, athleticism, and reflexes, he soon gravitated toward the goalkeeper position.

His natural talent became evident quickly, attracting the attention of scouts from one of Japan's most respected football institutions, Urawa Red Diamonds.

Joining the club's youth academy would prove to be one of the most important steps in his career.

Development at Urawa Red Diamonds

The youth academy of Urawa Red Diamonds has produced numerous talented players, and Suzuki emerged as one of its most exciting prospects.

The academy environment allowed him to refine his technical abilities while developing the discipline and tactical understanding required at the professional level.

As he progressed through the youth ranks, coaches were impressed by several qualities:

Excellent shot-stopping ability
Strong aerial presence
Quick reflexes
Confidence with the ball at his feet
Leadership qualities despite his young age

His rapid development eventually earned him promotion to the senior team.

For many observers, it became clear that Japan had discovered a special goalkeeping talent capable of succeeding at the highest levels of world football.

Yeah he may be black in color, but the blood that runs in each and everyone's vein is RED💯💯

[quote author=EmmyMaestro post=139682996]“Since I moved to America, I no longer pray for 20 minutes” – Man compares life abroad to Nigeria

A Nigerian man has stirred reactions online after sharing how relocating to America changed his perspective on prayer, jobs, and governance.

In a viral video shared on X (formerly Twitter), he claimed that many of the things people spend hours praying and fasting for in Africa have already been provided through effective systems and government structures in developed countries.

“Since I came to America, I no longer pray for 10 minutes, 20 minutes. What am I praying for? The things that I used to pray back home in Africa for God to provide for me, I came to Yankee and saw that the government and the system have already provided those things for people.”

According to him, many Africans have been conditioned to pray for basic necessities because governments have failed to provide opportunities and essential services for citizens.

He recalled how he used to spend time praying and fasting for employment after graduating from university, only to discover later that many of the jobs people prayed for were either unavailable or reserved for those with political connections.

“I could remember when I was back home in Nigeria, those days after I graduated, I would pray 30 minutes, 40 minutes, fasting to get jobs.

And I came to Yankee and realized that I was wasting my time back home in Nigeria praying for some things. First of all, we pray to get jobs back home in Africa, and those jobs are not really there.”

The man’s comments have continued to spark debate online, with some agreeing with his views on governance and opportunity, while others maintained that prayer remain important regardless of location.

One user wrote, “He’s saying the truth. Good governance solves many problems.”

Another added, “Prayer is still important no matter where you live.”

Since I came to America, I haven’t prayed for more than 10 minutes, all the things I use to pray for back in Nigeria, I got to the USA and found out that the government already provided everything for free… So why do i need to be praying for 1 hour? pic.twitter.com/BS0A03t50C

the only time you pray is when in difficulty or needing something from God, then it means you don’t love God in the first place 💯📌

ebubeson:
We have single Mums that can make good wives, and no matter what the society says, there are single Mums that can make good homes.

If you look deeply, a single Mum having a child may not be the main issue of many guys, but below may be the issue many guys avoid single Mums in marriage.

(1) Fear of she cheating with her baby daddy: Do you know how painful it may be loving and supporting a single Mum only to discover she is sleeping with her baby daddy who may be so irresponsible.

(2) Fear of not being a father to her child or children: If after a man marries a single Mum and treats her child or children so well like a true father, and gets dumped in the future because he is not their biological, such may be so painful to him.

(3) Fear of divided emotions: A single Mum may be emotionally connected to both her husband and baby daddy. This might make her husband feel unsafe in the marriage; and if he expressed his concern, there may be outburst that he is just being insecure.


As a lady, never accept to get pregnant before marriage, no matter the promises given. Just avoid pre-marital sex. Again, if baby Daddies had married their baby Mamas, this issue may have subsided.

Marrying a single mother is like giving Everton handicap 1 against Chelsea…No matter what, u go still cry and lose money at the end 😃😃😃

Victory662:
I recently bought a Toyota Corolla 2005 model, Nigerian used. Since then I've had this constant problem of hard starting. It's not very bad though, it picks after second or third kick, although in some cases it could be worse prompting my battery to run down.

I have explained the issue to about 4 mechanics, each of them telling me what they suspected could be the cause, I paid them and at the end of the day, nothing changed. I've spent over 300k on this very issue.

The only option I'm considering now is that of the latest mechanic that told me it could be fuel pump system pressure or electrical fault or both. I'm just afraid of spending money again because I'm already afraid it may not work.
So NL family, have your car ever had this "spiritual hard starting" problem? And how did u get out of it?

Take it for computer scanning and they will tell u everything that is wrong with it with just 5k or thereabout 💯
