frankosivue: i may not have the means to help him, but i know someone can, and would help him. Nevertheless, i will render the little help i can to people.
alBHAGDADI: These days, it is common to see celebrities posting pictures of themselves helping the needy. It could be at an orphanage home or some beggars on the street. Trust me, it is really good to help those in need, but the motive behind doing such is what determines whether what you just did is good or bad.
This month alone, I've seen Nigerian celebrities go on social media to show the world how they are helping others. First it was Kiss Daniel who posted a picture which shows him giving food and money to beggars on the street on Easter. Then came B-Red, an associate of Davido, who filmed himself sharing N500 notes to kids on the street, kids who didn't really look like they were suffering. As if I had not seen enough of such this month, Daddy Freeze also had himself in a video with his baby mama sharing food to destitute.
To a not well trained Christian mind, what the above folks did is cool and good, but when examined carefully, one will find that it is not pleasing in God's eyes. Don't you all think it is absurd giving someone your phone to record you while you are doing charitable deeds? It becomes more absurd when you upload it on social media. To what ends? To show the world that you are kind and to receive praises from men?
to very over trained christian mind you will judge yet not want to be judged
If the intention to give came genuinely from the heart, you won't want anyone to see you doing it. If the intention to help the needy came as a result of you wanting to please God, you will do it before His eyes only. But if the intention is to get praises from men, then you will do it before men and broadcast it as far as it can go.
how much does kiss daniel or freeze have they can only feed for a day but with their celebrity 365 of you will see and remember to do your part so they may be fed for 365 days pikin wen never comot him papa farm go de yarn opata
Kiss Daniel's intention wasn't to help the beggars but to get praises from his social media fans who indeed praised him for the gesture.
Watching the video in which B-Red is seen giving money to kids, one will instantly know that he didn't care about the kids who really didn't look like they needed his money. He just gave it to them cos that's what he needed to do to get praises from men. However, his gesture proved abortive as his Instagram fans blasted him for filming himself doing such.
As for Daddy Freeze, one can easily know that he decided to help the destitute with food just to prove a point. He wanted his deceived fans to see that he helps the needy unlike the pastors he loves to criticize whom he claims would rather use the money to buy private jets.
Recording himself while in the act shows that he never did it to help the needy. His action is even worse than the pastors whom he claims don't help. The reason why we don't know that these pastors help might be because they don't show it in the media.
Daddy Freeze claims he follows the teachings of the Bible. Let's see whether his actions as seen in the video goes in line with the teachings of Jesus Christ whom he says his Free The Sheeple Movement In Christ is modeled after.
Mathew 6:2-4
2 So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward.
3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Can you all now see that celebrities who flaunt their good deeds on social media are not really doing it for the needy and not for God, but for men to praise them.
If their actions on social media is inspiring you to do the same i.e post pictures or videos of yourself helping the needy, I'll advice you to have a rethink. Go out there and help the needy but don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Obeying that commandment shows you are a true Christian.
This post is to prevent you from allowing celebrities influence your life cos their life is fake.

scholarsarena: 10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in Nigeria. Unemployment is a huge problem all over the world, but it is worse in Nigeria with a very large youth population. The problem is a proof that the economic policies have not been successful.
This article will give you 10 ways to reduce unemployment in Nigeria.
The ideas are not new and they will show how government and the private sector can jointly bring down unemployment. It is my hope that you will be motivated to become a part of the solution.
Let us explore the subject a bit more and gain fresh understanding, about how Nigeria can permanently get rid of this problem.
What is unemployment? Unemployment is lack of job for citizens, who are qualified and willing to work, but are unable to get work because there are no jobs. Types of Unemployment
The following are types of unemployment. They are frictional, seasonal, structural, and cyclical.
Frictional unemployment occurs if there is supply and demand mismatch. It is the waiting time between seeking and finding a job.
Seasonal unemployment refers to periods firms have few jobs to offer, due to a slow down of the economy or season.
Structural unemployment takes place when traits and location disqualifies applicants and if there are no qualified applicants to fill vacant posts.
Cyclical unemployment refers to periods when firms are not hiring, due to recurring economic downturn.
What are the Causes of Unemployment?
Here are a few causes of unemployment for your perusal. 1. Bad leadership
Visionless leaders in government, who are unable to see and plan for the future of citizens, create unproductive nations that cannot employ its people.
2. Outdated Academic Curriculum
Universities produce unemployable graduates due to outdated academic curriculums.
3. Lack of Plan by University Authorities
Universities admit more students than they can handle and send poorly trained graduates into the labor market without marketable skills.
4. Overpopulation
Migration to cities people believe they can get employment to the disadvantage of other cities, which have vacant positions but nobody to fill them.
5. Un-attractiveness of Farming
Society relegates farmers to the background and rates them as failures. This makes people run to the cities, to struggle for nonexistent white-collar jobs in overpopulated cities.
6. Craze for White-Collar Jobs
People wishing to get an office job than do any other work; make them to seek for employment that may not exist.
7. Rural Urban Migration
Young adults seeking employment and a better life, migrate to places they hope to get it. This causes over population in the cities they migrate to triggering unemployment, lack of accommodation and other social issues.
8. Industries Performing at Low Installed Capacity
When there is economic downturn companies produce less, and as customer purchasing power weakens, this leads to temporary embargo on employment.
9. Foreign Exchange scarcity
Scarcity of foreign exchange to import raw materials, make industries to operate at low capacity, which leads to sack of some staff.
10. Economic Slow Down
Recession in the economy will cause companies to sack some of their workers.
We have seen the types and the causes of unemployment. Let us see the ways to reduce it.
Here we go …
10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in nigeria
Here are ten ways for reducing unemployment in Nigeria.
1. Fiscal Policy of Government
Economic plan of any government depends on revenue and expenditure.
Fiscal policy shows how government spends the budget and collects revenues to run the country.
It collects revenue such as corporate and income tax, sales tax, custom duties and tariffs and spends it on repairs of roads and salary.
A Fiscal policy is either expansionary or contractionary, but we are focusing on the former.
Expansionary fiscal policy occurs when government reduces tax and spends more money to make the economy grow.
oxymoron of the century collect less tax to spend more where wee d more come from
Because of this growth in the economy, individuals and firms have more money to spend, which raises output. This increase in production adds to growth and lowers unemployment in the economy.
2. Central Bank and Nigeria Monetary Policy
Monetary policy refers to money supply, interest rates, credit in the economy, and rules guiding the financial sector issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on behalf of the government.
Every year CBN makes rules for easy operation of the financial sector. It manages money supply by:
the lending rates going up the lending rates going down lending more lending less
Lending rate affects individuals who borrow from banks to pay for their personal needs and firms who borrow from banks to grow their businesses.
Capital is crucial for any business to survive so companies must borrow at sensible interest rates to make profit.
Monetary policy makes it easy for companies to plan the time to borrow from their banks and do so when interest rates are low.
Getting a loan enlarges their business, which increases output and profit, and helps these companies create more jobs.
3. Government Spending
Due to limited resources and competing needs, it is difficult to get required funds from Government to fix infrastructures that need urgent repairs.
However, if government spends money to repair roads, purchase hospital equipment, and fix public schools, its effect on the economy is visible.
For example to repair any road, government must hire contractors who will employ people to work on the project sites.
The effect, repairing a road, will have on employment is that many laborers will get a job.
The second is that the job increases hired workers purchasing power.
The third is that people will patronize any support businesses, set up near any of the projects sites.
4. Agric Sector Reform
Agriculture is the second largest employer of labor in Nigeria. The agro allied value chain can become the hub for creating more jobs for Nigerians.
Let us use a recent case to support this claim. For example, in December 2016, Lagos state government sold Lake Rice to Lagos residents.
This happened due to a deal between Kebbi and Lagos State for the production of Lake Rice brand, and this alliance created many jobs.
Imagine that all states in the country copy this example, and produce one agric commodity; this would not only reduce unemployment but feed the country as well.
5. Government Intervention in Micro Lending
The government can disburse money to micro finance banks for lending to market women, petty traders, and artisans to stimulate economic growth.
How it will work is that the bank will ask these people to form corporative societies, to enable members get small loans to expand their businesses.
The corporative societies will act as a guarantor for members to ensure borrowers repay the loans.
This plan can help many poor Nigerians become self-reliant and as their business grows; they will create jobs as one of the 10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in nigeria.
6. Getting Professional Education
Education sets people free from poverty. Educated people, especially professionals are assets to the nation.
For example, a lawyer could specialize in corporate or marine law. These professionals may work in public service or set up their own practice and employ individuals to work for them.
Let us encourage professionalism so they can become employers as one of the 10 Ways to Reduce Unemployment in nigeria.
7. Finishing School
Government has failed to fund the education sector, which have led universities to turn out half-baked graduates with little chance to secure employment.
Thankfully, grooming schools have come to the rescue to retrain and make these graduates valuable and employable.
8. Changing University Curriculum
You can change university curriculum to introduce subjects to train undergraduates for skills that are lacking, but essential for the labor market of today.
The present limited curriculum must change to add subjects such as cybernetics and robotics, computer animation, web courses, data capture, and other technology courses.
If we implement this change, graduates will become qualified for positions in the current labor market and reduce unemployment in Nigeria.
9. Training Entrepreneurs
Government can start a program to train entrepreneurs instead of allowing unemployed graduates to search for jobs that are not there.
For example, the National Youths Service Corp program (NYSC) could become a one-year entrepreneurial training program for all graduates who will pass out to create jobs.
In addition, you can set up an internet business by becoming a blogger, website designer, and copywriter, to reduce unemployment in Nigeria.
10. Setting Up Customer Service Centers
You can set up customer service business, to serve the global community.
All that is required is for employees to accept excellence as a personal value and be able to speak English without any accent, to be able to work for firms abroad.
A customer service center, which can employ large numbers of people, is a doable business that can reduce unemployment.
In Conclusion:
Unemployment is a ticking time bomb, which we must not allow to explode on our faces.
Let us all join hands to provide jobs for unemployed people, mostly made up of youths if we all wish to sleep at night with our eyes closed

EazyMoh: Aptly put. I keep wondering why couldn't US and it's minions employ other tactics to get rid of Assad of they desperately want to. I mean get beautiful women to give him the infamous poisoned apple or something. But trying to overthrow him by supporting the barbaric terrorists who hold nothing and no one with any regard is absurd, wicked, wrong and unexcusable! Thank God for Russias interest in Syria, otherwise those Barbaric terrorists would have now run over the region with US's support..
