I get you my brother, you are right, I belv those are opportunities and should not be left to b passed by. For me, I wont support the part of asking someone to run ur NYSC 4u, cus its too risky. For me, Apply+get the job+ ask them to retain u as an NYSC candidate in every possible way u can+ if it works, fine. And if it doesnt work, move on for the NYSC. I think, this is what I have learnt from u guys experience. Thanks for sharing. I have missed alot of opportunity bcus of this issue. |

If you Land a Job before NYSC then fine..you'll end up putting some creative thinking on the desk. You'll be surprised as to how easy things could eventually pan out. bro, do you think the organization will assist an individual on ensuring that the Job is converted to Nysc service? U know, a better job that requires u presenting ur Nysc cert, can come up later, so how can one avoid dis conflict. |

this has been running on my mind for long. The question is this ; what if one gets a job and next year march, Nysc starts calling.
Will it be advisable to leave the job and go for Nysc?
Will it be advicable to forget nysc nd continue with the job?
When will such person go for his or her nysc? Remember some jobs requires the presentation of nysc certificate before it can be given? My nairaland job/vacancy experts, What do you think? |

OP WELDONE. For those who are comparing christian images to that of Idol whoshippers, just know that its a two different thing all together. What is for God, is for God and anything not of God, is from the devil. So in conclussion, idol images is far from Godly images, therefore, when one makes idole image like that of sango, etc, it is bad. Take note;madmadu |

Christianity Etc › Temptations Vs Our Sight by Mobi47(op): 8:54am On Dec 14, 2014 |
Oh! how many are lost by indulging their sight! — St. Alphonsus de Ligouri
If your eye offends you, pluck it out. — Jesus Christ.
We live in a hyper-sexualized, even pornified culture, and if you’re a man who wants to be pure, you’re going to be involved in a constant warfare against lust. Everything from toothpaste commercials to weight loss ads have some sort of sexual spin. After all, as they say, sex sells.
Then there is the rampant immodesty in women’s dress (even in church, sadly), including mini-shorts, crop tops, and leggings worn as pants. Popular TV shows are filled with graphic sex, and celebrities dress in see-through clothing—that is, when they aren’t releasing nude photos of themselves.
Now, these temptations are so powerful because they involve our sight—one of the most potent of our senses, especially for us men. What we see is indelibly etched into our memories, and we can never truly un-see anything. Additionally, our sight has a powerful connection to what we want. Radio ads will never be as effective as TV ads, because hearing simply isn’t as strong a sense as sight.
Today I want to talk about an ancient Catholic practice that can help us combat temptations to lust: Custodia occulorum, or custody of the eyes.
WHAT IS IT
At its most basic level, custody of the eyes simply means controlling what you allow yourself to see. It means guarding your sense of sight carefully, realizing that what you view will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
Many of the saints, in their zeal for purity, would never look anyone in the face. “To avoid the sight of dangerous objects, the saints were accustomed to keep their eyes almost continually fixed on the earth, and to abstain even from looking at innocent objects,” says St. Alphonsus de Liguori.
Now, staring at the floor at all times is a bit extreme for most of us, but it does demonstrate the seriousness with which the saints viewed the importance of purity. They teach us that is simply impossible to allow hundreds of immodest images into our minds, however innocently, and remain pure.
Of course, to the modern mind, this guarding of the eyes is rather quaint and even ridiculous. How prudish, many would think, to think that we should exercise any control over what we see. And yet, if we care about our souls, we have no other option.
HOW TO PRACTICE IT
The best place to begin practicing custody of the eyes is in the things which we can control, such as movies, magazines, or television shows. If your favorite TV show has a sex scene every 5 minutes, you need to cut it out of your life. It’s not worth the temptation. In short, don’t consume things that are occasions of sin. Carelessly putting yourself in spiritual danger in this way is a grave sin itself, so take it seriously.
It’s actually rather easy to edit what you consume. But what about the things we can’t control, such as the immodestly dressed woman walking past you? This takes far more prayer-fueled discipline and practice. That said, here are some suggestions.
First, if you’re struggling with the way a woman is dressed, immediately look at her face. I don’t care how beautiful a woman is, it is essentially impossible to lust after someone’s face. The face is the icon of each person’s humanity, and it is far easier to respect a woman’s dignity when you’re looking at her face and not her body.
Second, it may just be appropriate to stare at the floor sometimes, especially if there’s no other way to avoid temptation. This doesn’t have to be the norm, but if the situation warrants it, it is foolish not to do so.
Third, avoid places you know are especially problematic for you. For most men, the beach is a problem. Dozens of women in tiny bikinis is just too much. If that’s the case for you, avoid the beach.
Finally, fast and pray. This should go without saying, and yet I am always amazed that men think they can control themselves without God’s help. It simply isn’t possible. We always need grace in the battle against concupiscence, and if we trust in ourselves and our own willpower, we will do nothing but fail.
CONCLUSION
Yes, temptation is everywhere, but we are not helpless victims. We must take the need for purity seriously, and that means guarding carefully what we allow ourselves to see. Through prayer, fasting, and practice, we can learn to take control of our eyes and avoid temptation. This isn’t quaint and archaic—it’s basic to spiritual survival.
