It is low self-esteem.

Humility would be accepting the compliments and appreciating them.
He didn't reject compliments he just doesn't want to be seen as some type of hero for doing something which to him is "normal".
Indeed the mother was the real hero.

One needs to learn to resist the urge to reject compliments and attribute it to something.

A good man is a blessing to the society.

God keep the child and console the father and everyone who would be affected by the death of the mother.
Its what humility does.
Nothing wrong about that.
CrimeRe: Christopher Ogah Rapes 2 Girls: Police Arrest Nasarawa APC Chairman by Mike008(m): 12:09pm On Jul 09, 2020
People don't understand what rape is.
The manner in which sexual offences have been normalized juxtaposes this.
A public enlightenment is really needed so that people can understand the delicate and intricate nature of right and wrong sex.
This is really alarming, haba!

Porn is bad, even the so called porn apologists knows this.
Its difficult to break away from it when it becomes an addiction.
Constantly tell your conscience you are doing the wrong thing even when its difficult to stop. Pray to God for help and most importantly, avoid been alone.

People can be so insensitive to serious issues.
Comments attributing the allegedly missing lady to her boyfriend are so low down and from the heartless of minds.
These are perilous times and the safety of every human is something not to be messed around with.
You don't want to be in the shoes of a man who's loved one has not been seen in the last 24hours or in the situation of the missing person who may be going through something very inhuman.
You wouldn't hold such negative assumption against someone you love or take it likely if a loved one was missing and people made such comments.

We know how stories of missing persons sometimes end up in this country.
Whether she has lived some kind of life is still not enough not to prioritize her safety.
We should all pray for her safe return and not scorn her.

My monthly income when I married was #30000 in Lagos state. Though my income has not increased more than #40000 now but I have a good family.

My wife is not a salary earner but she manages her business .

Marriage is not just about money . If there is proper management and understanding , couples will live a good life .
How were you able to marry? How do you pay rent?

CelebritiesRe: Davido Vs Burna Boy: Cubana Chief Priest Replies Burna Boy by Mike008(m): 8:41am On May 23, 2020
Davido shouldn't post that in the first place. It's definitely a shade on Burna boy.
If he had included Burna and made them 3, we'll all agree to some extent.
The debate has always been between him and Wizkid. Tactically drawing Wizkid (and his fans) to his camp is just a way of getting at Burna Boy and carrying the day which is exactly what is happening.
To be honest if I was to rate the 3 on the basis of talent alone, Burna is indeed Africa's giant, Wizkid (am a superfan) comes second, then Davido.
And in another rating, many other Artists may come before Davido and a few before Wizkid, and a very few or maybe none before Burna Boy.

Davido is hardworking I agree with that, but making people blow is not the yardstick for success or judging a good musician.

MelaninSkinGirl:
You want 50/50 contribution financially does that apply to house chores, cooking and taking care of the kids? It should be 50/50 in everything then if you want a working wife. Men and women in western countries share the chores and cooking because it is a 50/50 society where both partners work.

In Nigeria even if the woman works, she is still expected to do 100% of the house chores, look after the kids, cook and have se......x at the drop of a hat. Very unfair misognistic thinking.
I didn't say 50/50 financial contribution. Marry with a mindset to not rely 100% on your husband and see how those impediments will be taken care of.
A good husband should not be insensitive to the plight of her wife and so he must be willing to support the wife even where she doesn't work.
Even where she works, there are laws in place that accord privileges to married, pregnant or women that just put to bed.
A valid excuse for a woman not working should be because she cannot find a job and not because it is the husband's duty to work while she does the cooking, do the house chores and take care of the kids.
Even at that, she should not shut her eyes to been self employed by learning a trade. It is for the best of the family.

Married men and mortality
A major survey of 127,545 American adults found that married men are healthier than men who were never married or whose marriages ended in divorce or widowhood. Men who have marital partners also live longer than men without spouses; men who marry after age 25 get more protection than those who tie the knot at a younger age, and the longer a man stays married, the greater his survival advantage over his unmarried peers. But is marriage itself responsible for better health and longer life?

Although it's hard to be sure, marriage seems to deserve at least part of the credit. Some have argued that self-selection would skew the results if healthy men are more likely to marry than men with health problems. But research shows the reverse is true: unhealthy men actually marry earlier, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to remarry following divorce or bereavement than healthy men.

Another potential factor is loneliness; is the institution of marriage linked to better health, or is it simply a question of living with another person? Although studies vary, the answer seems to be a little of both. People living with unmarried partners tend to fare better than those living alone, but men living with their wives have the best health of all.

Numerous studies conducted over the past 150 years suggest that marriage is good for health. More recently, scientists have begun to understand why married men enjoy better health than their single, divorced, and widowed peers. But before we turn to the why, let's look at how marriage affects specific diseases, including America's leading killers, cardiovascular disease and cancer.

I wish you could carry out this survey in the Nigerian setup. The reverse is almost the case especially for married men who live with unsupportive wives. We don't even need to carry out any scientific study, the outcomes are visibly clear, begin with your locality.
True marriage has great advantages, but your studies should include married men in broken homes their conditions are far worse than unmarried men.
In the American society majority of the wives are working class. You cant compare the employment ratio of wives in the USA to Nigeria or employment generally.

The truth of the matter is our young girls nowadays are predisposed to marrying men that will make their life convenient and not men they are willing to support.

Studies show married men are happier and live longer than their single/divorced/widowed counterparts. Single/Widowed/Divorced men are more depressed and suicidal than their married counterparts.

On the other hand, studies show that Single women live longer than their married counterparts, they also retain their figures and beauty longer than their married counterparts.

These studies show that the main benefactors of marriage is the Men. Make of that what you want!!!
Both parties are equal beneficiaries but a loser is that man that marries a woman who is not working or simply put a woman that cannot support the man financially according to the writer.
"Long life", figure 8 and beauty are not a thing compared to lasting happiness a good marriage can bring. Those elements are very negligible to the overall value and purpose of life.
So your studies (if at all true) are of little importance and do not apply.

A man shouldn't assume 100% responsibility, and a woman should not feel entitled is the Crux of the matter.

He's a bully.
When you stand up to a bully they are forever humbled. That's exactly what you need to do. If you succeed he may bully others but not you.

Don't just let him push you around anymore.
By standing up to him I don't mean you should tell him waaaka and run or throw something at him and run away, really stand up to him face to face, eye to eye like a UFC combat.

If he throws a punch, block it, if he throws another block and push him hard to the ground.
If he comes sprawling back at you, you can pull an Edge smack down move on him. You mustn't necessarily hit him, you conduct will atleast invoke fear of been defeated. Bullies are usually afraid of defeat.
If anybody ask you say na me tell you.

You narrate this story like all those nerds in American movies that are always bullied. How old are you sef? Biscuit, remote seems very petty reasons to hit someone.

Nice move Trump, but it looks like a canny way of aiming a dig at China, in an if-China-could-we-can-do-better manner.
Trump's devotedness to the American cause would see him make available a spare ventilator for each American citizen before shipping out to other countries.

This is another blow on our judiciary. It really hurts that the delay in criminal trials the ACJA sought to cure has effectively been brought to life by the Supreme Court, which means all cases in similar circumstances will suffer same fate, the case in question is still not been an exception.
The implication of the Supreme Court's judgment is that, even if it takes another 12years to try Orji Kalu and the trial Judge becomes elevated, the case will begin afresh, except the Constitution is amended in that regard.
