A wedding had been planed for months and someone dies a day before the wedding, not blood relations and you expect them to put their wedding on hold? Hypocrisy of the highest order!
After the wedding go and condole the family of the dead. Its not only one day of mourning, you have many days to mourn. My prayers goes to the family of the departed.

But on the flick side , how many people mourn the common people that die everyday and what is done to ameliorate the deaths and sufferings all around?

Only God can console in the time of loss and grief and leave healing to tine

EgunMogaji2:
I feel saddened whenever I read of people going through water damage. It’s usually pretty horrific. This is why I only sell lands that is not near water and sits up on hills.

Hopefully the government will rally around then with support.

It's not about the house on a hill matter my brother. During thunderstorms or heavy rainfall Cross River is something else. It has the highest rain density in West Africa.

Family › Re: Life With Two Stubborn Teenage Boys : My Experience. by mbong: 3:26pm On Apr 06, 2021

[quote author=purples25 post=100147691]This post is just my way of letting off steam. It is truly not easy to take care of teenagers. Those who have teenagers they care for can probably relate, and those who do not can have an inkling of what its like.

I am a senior sister and second mother to my 14 year old youngest brother, and 15 year old male cousin. They are such characters that they each deserve their own section. Here goes:

Troublesome Teenager Number 1, My 15 year old Cousin: I love my cousin, but he is a serious case. When he came to live with my family, I resolved not to touch him or discipline him extensively. People staying with others tend to bring up accusations of abuse, anything you do to them is attributed to the fact that they are not your immediate family. As a result, I and my brothers handle him like an egg.

The boy took ample advantage of this. From being sullen and disciplined, he became very wild. Many times he would take offence to the slightest correction. He also goes out when he likes, picks whatever he wants from the kitchen and watches movies on my laptop from dawn till dusk. Answers me back as he likes from time to time. My brothers are his role models but if I correct him, that's where the problem lies. I think he feels I cannot and should not tame him. The funniest thing he ever did was starting to act up after he was told that the only reason I was not touching him was so as not to create issues between his mom and us. He became bolder and even tried to deepen his already deepening voice.

Whenever his mom comes around, he turns me to his enemy. He starts to perpetuate the notion that he is a victim of abuse. The last time his mom was around, he started shouting at me at his whim and when I got angry one day and slapped him, his mother finally made him a celebrated hero. She almost took him home by midnight that day, because the image of an abused boy that she wanted so badly had finally been portrayed to her.

Troublesome Teen Number 2, my 14 year old brother: I love my little brother as well. I tried to raise him like people raise kids abroad. Talking to him gently when he misbehaves, explaining to him, punishing by taking things away or just small reprimands....

That shii didn't work. He became the most troublesome little boy I knew. Whenever his friends are around, he wants to show off to them by talking over me, ignoring my demands. I started to discipline him but before long, he knew how to run to the neighbors house, taking the cane from me, and running outside where the discipline would become a spectacle. Sometimes he even yells at me too. He has tried to beat a few adults who tried to beat him. But they gave him a good beating grin

Since when he was small, 'he wants what he wants.' If I don't give him something, sometimes he would go and take it. Sometimes I would catch him. Time and time again, even with warnings, things still disappear at will.

When any kid around him is being bad, he wants to do two times what that kid is doing, and be loved for it. He feels that is love. From the time that my cousin came around, and we told him that we cannot touch our cousin, else it would be termed as abusing a family member from another mother.....he has taken it as proof of love that however we pardon our cousin, we must pardon him. He copies what our cousin does, does worse, and always defends himself with the fact that we leave our cousin, we dont spare him.

Now we have come to the last part, my experience with these two kids combined...

The Terrible Two: The two of them constantly answer me back, laugh and joke and even encourage me to come and punish them. They feel no amount of beating from me can break them, maybe because I am a woman. However, they have full fear and respect for the males around them. If i try to talk to them they act as if someone or something insignificant is talking. Few times though, they try to calm the wild spirits inside them, and behave.

Things still disappear at home, and even if we are the only ones at home, they both co operate and deny everything. The co operate to disrespect me. They start joking and laughing right after I'm done with my long warnings or advice talks. They tell me to come and punish them, that they will enjoy the punishment. They have turned my laptop to their permanent TV, day, night and midnight, i cant use it. If i hide it, they find it, turn it on, play whatever on it as early as 5 am till 12 or 1 on weekends. They put games there, got a game pad and play till thy kingdom come, all without my consent. They don't answer me, they do what they like when they like.

They are only tame at school. These are not kids that are meek. These are tall versions of Aki and Pawpaw that are already as tall as me at the moment.

This morning, my mom called me and told me that handling these teens is all about patience.

If you have had difficulties with teens, you can talk about your experience, to make this more interesting and educative. If you were a troublesome or troubled teen, you can also share.

Ciao! grin

I work in Church
So some teenagers do night dance rehearsals at least twice a week.
On a certain day I forget they'll come, so, they couldn't use the church hall.
I met with their leader to apologize, the guy cool about it. But this other boy was something else, he came out like a sore thumb. During their next night rehearsal
The young man was busy calling me out while I was trying to sleep. When sleeping he shout out my name and I was startled, I pretended I didn't hear him. He couldn't see me directly so, didn't know my reaction.
He did second time and on the third in the course of the night, I had to react and they were all shocked. I took a microphone rod and landed it on his thigh and he became calm and quiet.
Later that morning his leader came and apologize and thanked me for putting him in place, that he was getting out of hand.
Though the are ways to deal with them, some are really unplugged.
It is well with them.

ChiefJusticeFuc:
American culture is centered around niggers. They have holidays for niggers. They killed hundreds of thousands of white men to free niggers. They listen to nigger music. They elect a nigger as their president. They dress and act like niggers. They draw the entirety of their modern culture from niggers. They post sassy gifs about niggers. They watch sportsball in worship of niggers. Their biggest event of the year involves throwing parties in honor of niggers playing sports. They use nigger slang like "bruh" and "thot". When you say "Martin Luther" they're not thinking of the father of protestantism. They're thinking of the nigger. Their cities are completely overrun with niggers. They worship their ZOGbot police force disproportionately filled with niggers and their global police force of soldiers filled with niggers. They sided with the niggers in Angola, Mozambique, Rhodesia and South Africa against the whites. Their men sit around watching nigger ball while their women sit around watching nigger talk shows and fantasizing about nigger dick. They worship niggers like Muhammad Ali and Michael Jordan and Michael Jackson and while attacking the whites who actually built their country before niggers took over. Their movies are filled with niggers and their music charts are topped by niggers. They send niggers to the Olympics and celebrate when the niggers win because those niggers are true red blooded american niggers. They watch nigger porn to a point where "BBC" does not make them think of an international media company but about nigger joysticks instead. They will tell you how much they hate niggers and how the mutt's law meme is a stale joke and they are just pretending to love niggers but the evidence speaks for itself in that America has always been and will be a nation of nigger loving niggers.

Congratulations to TSTV!

THE CAN ALSO HEAD TO NORTH AMERICA. Leagues like the MLS AND CANADIAN LEAGUE, will go a long way. Even in SOUTH AMERICA i.e BRAZIL and ARGENTINA football fanatism there is very infectious.

Talk about the CHINESE; JAPANESE and SOUTH KOREAN LEAGUES.
If TSTV can focus on some of these leagues. We'll see that basically we need variety than monopoly.

You just convert your vehicle to suit your vehicle. Atimes a vehicle can accommodate both gas and petrol. When your gas is exhausted you use petrol and vice versa.

Family › Re: Age 25 With 1 Million Naira & Living With My Parents: Buy Land Or Pack Out? by mbong: 6:35am On Aug 21, 2020

CuteVally:
Good evening Nairalanders.

Please i need an advice on the next step i should take in life. I am a guy, 25 years of age and still living with my parents, though i am not jobless but recently my bank account just hit one million and 200 thousand naira.

So my parents are advising to buy a landed property in my home town that will take about 900 to 1 million naira. But the thing is that i am 25 and i feel at my age i should no longer be staying with my parents, so i want to rent a flat and furniture it to my taste, i feel it is time to move on, i need my freedom to finally face life like a man.

So my question is, should i purchase a landed property at 25 and continue living with my parents or pack out and start my Adult life. Note: i am not jobless".

My Brother Brother follow your parents advise. That money is too small for that shakara! Go ahead and buy the land, in two years that land might be worth 2 or 3 times the amount. Your parents are using the wisdom of elders to advice you. They are not in a hurry for you to leave. Appreciate that fact. One million is not a huge amount for you again. You hit it again even faster than you made the first one.

A Christ Embassy Church in Akwa Ibom State has been shut down for violating COVID-19 Protocols on Social gatherings.

According to a statement made available to POLITICS NIGERIA on Sunday, signed by Dr Emmanuel Ekuwem, Secretary to State Government & Chairman of COVID-19 Management Committee, the church was sealed after some of its pastors and members attacked the government's COVID-19 protocol compliance team.

"Today, Sunday 21 June 2020, the Akwa Ibom State Government and Christian Association of Nigeria ( CAN) Monitoring Team, while on a routine compliance/inspection visit to the Christ Embassy Church, Nung Akpa Ime branch, State House of Assembly Road, off Nsikak Eduok Avenue to enforce the Akwa Ibom State government/Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC)/World Health Organisation (WHO)/Christian Association( CAN) Guidelines and Protocols adopted to prevent community spreading of the dreaded COVID-19 pandemic in Akwa Ibom State, were obstructed, attacked and brutalized by the Pastors and some members of the church."

"In response to this act of lawlessness by that church and in order to avoid the risk of community transmission of COVID-19 in Akwa Ibom State, the Christ Embassy Church building and premises are hereby sealed up with immediate effect till further notice."

"The suspected Pastors and relevant members of the church will be made to face the wrath of the law." the statement read.

Is it because it's Pastor Chris?
Let's hear first from the Church also.
Were the taskforce members matured in their manner of approach?
The story is one-sided for now.

Man commits suicide after wife told him their only child was fathered by a stranger

....Husband to The Nation before killing himself: it’s a huge loss akin to a bereavement

......I only told him the truth, says wife

Wow!
For 12 years you were not fit to have a child , despite your wife insisting you do something about it, you refused. Though I do blame the lady, but a woman's desire to have her own child is always very strong. She was desperate to her own child. A times women take the blame 90% of the time in a childless marriage. For her to go to the extreme to have a child, it could have been that she might have been facing a lot of stigmatization. I would not rush to any conclusion.
