which one is being discussed?

Ok. Thanks

Adewale1603:
when was teaching profession ever respected before, it's always been like that since time immemorial. It's only just got worser

You can try and ask from your parents how it has always been especially in the 80s or 90s

When were you born to know that it has always been so for the teaching profession?
And again, What do you mean by "Worser" ?
Your teachers didn't do a good job on you

Nigeria's most powerful Vice-president in history, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has expressed deep sadness over the death of Nigeria's immediate past president, His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari who died in a London Clinic on Sunday evening.
In a personally signed statement released today during the Burial of Buhari in Daura, Katsina state, the former vice-president took to his official Facebook page to write:

"Today, our dear nation folds a flag and lowers its head in mourning as we bid final farewell to one of Nigeria’s towering sons, President Muhammadu Buhari. His passing has cast a long shadow across the land, stirring reflections on legacy, sacrifice, and the fleeting nature of power.

It is an honour to be present in Daura, to stand shoulder to shoulder with his family, his kinsmen, and the Nigerian people as we commit him to Mother Earth.

President Buhari and I often stood on opposite shores of the political river. Yet, death reminds us that what endures is not rivalry but humanity. In his own way, he bore the burden of leadership with unwavering will and served the country he so dearly loved with a sense of purpose shaped by his convictions.

I join the Buhari family, the people of Katsina State, and indeed the nation, in mourning this irreparable loss. May the Almighty, in His infinite mercy, forgive his shortcomings, accept his return, and grant him Aljannah Firdaus.

Let this moment also remind us all, leaders and citizens alike, that the true measure of life is not in the length of our days, but in the depth of our service and the footprints we leave on the sands of time.

Farewell, President Buhari. May the soil of Daura rest gently upon you". -AA

I Spent 20years Of My Life Living With Relatives.

I don't know who to trust or relate with.
I have come of age now and any time I remember what my own family did to me, I don't feel good at all.
You can think of everything evil and inhuman, I've encountered them from my own family.

Talk of the maltreatment and humiliation while living with them. The insults. I was despised, looked down on, thrown out, cast out, sidelined, deserted, shamed, beaten, ostracized and shunned.
I was left to fate. No one to hear, understand and help me. I was in the rain, under the scorching Sun trying to survive, no home to sleep in even after the days Hussle, Some even threw my bags on the streets like I was a slave. I was emotionally damaged by these people.
Some times, I feel my tribe has the most wicked people in Nigeria. Imagine falling seriously sick after an accident and the relative I was living with couldn't offer me food to take my medications?. I was even asked to Live in the store in the boys quarters, a room where charcoal and other properties were kept in.
I remember the constant humiliation in class and the entire sch when I was the only student not paying sch fees. I remember how I would miss exams and stay back while my classmates move to the next class. I also remember how I was supposed to be the Assistant Headboy but was denied due to the fact that I was paying my fees. I didn't even hold any Post despite my intelligence. I remember how would be the last to go to bed and be the first to wake up. I remember how I was so suppressed that I couldn't express myself and I became timid. So timid that I wasn't even qualified or fit to be a class monitor.
I'm glad I've fought the timidity and overcame it. Today I can stand before a thousand people and address them formally. I now anchor public programmes. I can now stand on the pulpit and testify without stage fright. I'm now bold and can communicate with ease. I've been blessed with good oratory skills that people now find it compelling to listen to me.

Today, I'm 26 and now responsible to myself. These people now call me. Same set of people. How do I feel free interacting with them?
They all thought I was going to die while they were hurting me. Today, the wounds have all healed, but the scars are still left on me.
I have forgiven anyone who hurt me because whether I forgive or not, is of no significance. But how do I forget all these?

I knew if I persevered, I would overcome In the end.

Why are they showing concern now? It's not like I already made it.
To all parents, I pray you live long to take good care of your children. Never leave your children to anyone.
And those parents who are maltreating other people's children and using them as your cleaners, I like to advise you to do so with caution. Treat every part of your towel nicely because the part the wipes your buttocks today may clean your face tommorow. A word is enough for the wise.
I leave everything to God!

I would say Teaching profession.

Gone are the days people used to Respect and admire Teachers. Today, teachers are the Most Mistreated, disrespected and neglected profession especially in Nigeria.
Ladies are unwilling to get married to a man who is a teacher because they are perceived as being poor and always broke. Teachers aren't sufficiently renumerated in today's Nigeria.


Secondly, I think Law. Lawyers are now called "Charge and Bail".

This Is Shangai shehu. The mother of KASONGO yeye...

SonOfWords:
The solutions you seek are not on nairaland. You're just opening yourself and kin to public opprobrium and ridicule bringing this delicate matter here.

That's your own opinion

AMAUCHESKY:
You can't force stop it but is a gradual stuff...

When you Force it to stop, the individual will keep falling back to it but
When you follow it gradually, they will graduate out of it


Reach out to me via my mail.


Repent Jesus is coming soon for real

Sorry, what exactly am I reaching out to you for?
You can say it here.
Thanks

Rest in Peace, General Buhari. You died a fulfilled man. You were desperate to rule Nigeria and you succeeded in doing so after multiple attempts.
I'm glad u eventually succeeded. If u hadn't won, and you died, a lot of people would have been saying things like "Buhari, a president we never had"
"The only man with a good heart who would have transformed Nigeria"

Glad u ruled Nigeria because we were all Able to see that u were a calamity and had nothing to offer us.
Rest in Peace anyway.

Let distinguished Hon. Natasha return now. Akpabio and his cohorts must obey the Court judgement.
Stop truncating Democracy.

PETER OBI is a workaholic.
His energy needs to be studied. The man is everywhere at every point in time.

It is with heavy heart that I write this.

I have a male cousin who is five years older than me. He is 32 years of age. Had lived with his parents and siblings outside the country before, and returned back to Nigeria about 10years ago. Born with a silver spoon but planlessness on the part of his parents sent them back to poverty after retirement. After retirement, the father passed on the next year.

This guy is addicted to ICE. I didn't know what ice was until I saw him taking it. I had heard a lot about it and I never expected to see my own family member getting involved in such. At first, he was hiding it from me, but at a time he couldn't. His closest friend already confided in me about it, so I was only just waiting to see for myself.

Aside taking ice, he smokes Weed, Colos, loud and cigarettes even even laughing gas.

It's painful to me because he's the first child and only son now, and has four younger sisters.

He has become almost completely irresponsible at his age. He doesn't have a rented apartment of his own, always squatting with people here and there. Always asking for money from friends and even me. You can give him your last card today, and the next day, he's making another demand on you for same money. If you give him a job to do today, the next week, he's out of the job. If this guy needs money from you, he will first text you, flash you, use his system(laptop) to msg you on WhatsApp. He will make sure he flashes and messages you until he gets same money from you. He will make sure he bombards you with lots of calls and messages.

He's so disorganized and unorganized. He's always running into trouble here and there. Either he's buying a stolen phone at a very cheap price and getting arrested later or he's been accused of theft and locked up in the police cell. So many similar cases. Today, he can't afford a smart phone. He uses a torchlight phone, he has changed the screen of the torchlight phone three times in two months.

His mum already sidelined him in the scheme of things going on in the family. The mum has written him off completely because the guy hasn't lived up to expectation. The mum isn't aware of another other drugs, she thinks her son only smokes just weed and cigar. But it is way beyond that.

Guys, how do I help this guy out of this? I'm bothered because I like him and want to the Best for him. Even if I report to the elders in our family, he wouldn't still stop. He's an adult, and how do you start monitoring and policing him?

I can't do this alone because he's really gone deep in this. He's always always Broke. He has lost the respect of his younger sisters and friends due to his incessant begging. Each time I see his call, my heart skips. Because I already know what is coming.
Again, he's someone who isn't transparent at all. Not straightforward too. Very cunning. If he has money today, you wouldn't know. For instance, if he has a thousand naira today and you only just have fifty naira on you, this guy would tell you he has nothing and would try to get the whole or fraction of that fifty naira from you. That's how bad it is.
