Sometimes you need to think outside the box to understand where somebody is coming from..

If we all should quit fornication in other to give our "Virginity" to our partner.

It will put an end to unwanted pregnancy.

It will put an end to the spreading of sexual transmitted diseases

It will put an end to heart-breaks and even reduce divorce rate. etc.

There will be more love in every marriage which will help parents to raise better children.

In other words it will indirectly flourish the society and reduce disease.

THINK DEEP

am seriously noticing ur comments here..tink am begining to like them lol

Having the knowledge of God includes knowing how to conduct yourself in his presence.



I will pick this out of all the errors. The thing that you teach is the opposite of what it should be. Read Levi 10:1-2, Num 14, 20:7-14, to see cost of not being familiar with the nature of God.

This teaching is for unserious people to keep being unserious. Smh for Gombs.

and dt is simply ur own opinion..we re all here to learn.let's hear frm odas too.thanks

Boomark:

If you are a virgin male...

And you marry a non-virgin female then you don suffer be that............

How?

You won't even know how or where to start to satisfy her............

She will be your teacher. Your ego will be bruised continuously until you learn.

Virginity is the greatest emotional/physical treasure a person can GIVE. But your part, you will give and not receive.

You are going to love her SOOOO
much because she is your first............

But her own don go tey tey.

Issues of ex will pop up every now and then.

It will take you long to get used to the idea that the girl is not as “pure,” “clean” and innocent as you. It will bother you to know that another guy has touched her before you or that she simply has more experience in the bedroom department than you.

She cannot love you completely because all the guys she dated took some part of her with them.

You will need to prove to her that you are not an azzhole like all the guys she dated.

No matter how good you are to her.

There is this one guy that she will never 4get.

If you are virgin male then adopt Yerima's style when you wanna marry.

I paused and I took time jst to check ur profile..when a lady understands what sex truly means then she won't have to gv it to evry man dt comes her way..as much as one has a knowledge abt sex,one shuld also hv an understanding of it..its a bond.God help us#

the rate at which people sag these days is alarming. some how i blame our media for exposing us to videos of celebrities who sag their trousers. most of our youths look up to these celebrities and emulate what ever they do. we are trying to be like the lil Waynes and wizkids of these world forgetting that these guys sag for the money. though i am not justifying the act of celebrities sagging. if you must know one thing, these guys don't sag in reality.

anyway here are the top six reasons you should not sag

1. you can't walk comfortably: it makes you walk slowly and funny. i have noticed it makes people walk like there is a big pot in between their laps

2. you come across as irresponsible: as a result, nobody takes you seriously. people even hardly trusts you.

3. it hurts your skin: when you sag, you will often have bruises on your thighs especially when on jeans.

4. it makes people think you are gay: dont tell us you are not gay, prove it to us by pulling your trouser up.

5. it makes you constantly pulling your shirt down to cover your exposed pants/boxers. just pull up your trouser and save yourself the stress.

6. it brings you embarrassment: it is common to hear people tell you things like "your pants are exposed, pull your jean up bro". sometimes the need to run might arise, and if you dare run with your trouser sagging just be ready for a huge embarrassment because it is mostly likely to tear.

pls tell them.even at 30,some still sag their trousers..and have the bottons of their shirt all open up..if u r in dz category ,my dear u need serious deliverance.how I so like it when a guy is neatly and sensibly dressed..

okay, for the uninitiated, the force is like raw power and it exists in every living thing, force wielders are those very few people who can tap into this raw power and use it.

sith are those people who tap into this power and use it for their personal benefit and when you use the force for personal benefit, the result is always evil so therefore the sith use the dark side of the force. At any point in time, there can only be two sith i.e the sith lord(who is evil personified) and the sith aprentice who is the instrument of wielding all this evil power. Both are renamed and a suffix is attached to their names - darth. For example, the most famous or should i say most infamous is Darth Vader.

Jedi are those who tap into the force and use it to help everybody but themselves, they are said to use the light side of the force and they are the good guys and are always on the constant battling within themselves so as not to yield to temptations of greed, power, lust and over attachment because when they yield to any of these, they fall from the good side and become evil, so being a jedi is mostly about personal discipline because it is very easy to fall into the dark side but very difficult to escape from the dark side for example, the infamous Darth vader was once known as jedi master anakin skywalker, the most talented, promising youngest Jedi master whose coming was prophesied of, but his love(attachment) to his wife(princess leaia) whom he married in secret whose death during childbirth he foresaw in a vision(his visions always came true), made him vunerable to seduction by the sithlord darth sidius(who in real life was the leader of the galaxy or chancellor palpatine) who told him the dead can be ressurected and his wife need not die and for that he conived and killed thousands of jedi almost wiping out the jedi order in order to learn the ability to save the woman he loved from the sithlord sidius or palpatine.

The jedi have four ranks in their order and these are
I - younglings.
II - padawans.
III - knights.
IV - Masters.

The younglings are just small children who have the ability to use the force and they are taught history, basic skills and self control at this stage.

The padawans are older jedi who are attached to an experienced knight to continue their education under these knights in real life situations. They are given missions and tasks which they perform under the guidance of these knights, here they are forced to confront themselves and temptations that can make them fall to the dark side. It is sort of like an Industrial Attachment programme.

The knights are those padawans who graduate from this experience and this is the stage where they become fully fledged Jedi and can be trusted to act on their own without supervision because they are supposed to have learned one very important lesson which is with great power comes even greater responsibility, so, they balance their actions delicately knowing possible consequences.

The Masters are those knights of many years of experience who have built a reputation as incorruptible and fair agents of justice and above all they exhibit uncanny wisdom in all situations. There are only ever very few masters and they sit on the jedi council and decide the affairs and activities of all jedi. Most famous are jedi masters mace windu, kwai gon jiinn, obi-wan kenobi who trained anakin skywalker/darth vader and the most famous i think is master yoda.

So when someone says the force is strong with this one, its a type of compliment meaning u're exceptionally skilled, brilliant, talented, unique e.t.c

damn! I explained this better than i intended to, i think i'll make a very decent lecturer . . . . . . . or storyteller, depends i guess on your passion for the topic/subject. well i hope you have all the info you need now to help you pass this course - starwars 101.

What do you think?

*breathes in* this is way too long.if u happen to be my lecturer,I won't buy ur handout lol..buh I lyk d way u carefuly xplained it all to me.an example of a realman*jst passed u a compliment..thanks ,I learnt sometin new.

Op am not upto 30..buh I sincerely understand how it feels to be depressed ..the only antidote for depression is God..talk to God..and trust me u won't regret u did..#drops mic#

victorazy:
From the article is obvious it is in the morning 8-10am during the sun rise. The sun will apear 180(half) on the east while moon 180(half)west and bloody in color do to distance and gaseous atmosphere. Both will be seen from the earth which is on their centre. The sun and the moon will appear on the same shape and size but diff in color. The bloody color of the moon is nothing to worry about, is caused because of the introder (Earth) which will reduce the amount of light coming from Sun to half, since the moon derives its light from the Sun (reflection) it will now appear Half Current. "The atmospheric gas" will also reduce the light intensity.
Only the guys on moon can see lunar eclips which we saw here on earth last nov. (Am coming up with a sketch)

*sniffs*..I perciev intelligence..me likey.pple who dig deep

NairaMode:
To say you are satisfied with your life implies that you are not visionary, not purposeful, not creative and you lack aspirations.

This doesn't mean you have to be greedy, wanton or covetous but everyone must understand that as humans we are limitless, boundless and the worlds possibilities are endless.

So, I am not satisfied yet but I am grateful for my life.

beautiful comment..I swear..am following u right away..

No 1,2,3,6 and 7 excellent..buh u see no 5,its a no-no for me...the annoying part is d part of skiping work for me..it won't be appreciated one bit..and then above all I can't resist a man who is a Godlover..

I can cook well..infact am domestically inclined...buh that dosent mean I wil tolerate a man that cannot cook..dearest future hubby mxt knw how to cook one meal atlst..

Haywhymido: u talk as if u av never been a child, so u expect d child to always do what u say, obedient or nt children will never always obey dia parent. It jst av to be minimal sha

anyway I understand ur point shaa

@haywhymido..the answer to ur question as to why u need to buy packets of busicuit and d rest to keep at home is just vry simple..when u have children at home its advicable to have this things in bulk..at least it wil reduce that of buying it one by one..it reduces cost naa..ur child can always take them to school and also consume them at home..its not rily complusory though.there re people who r vry much comfortable with daily expenses..

greatgod2012: Efe, long time!
@op, personally, i believe it's the parent's responsibility to buy whatever your child needs, be it books, clothe and so on with their money, not with the kids' monetary gifts. Therefore, i will rather advise that parents open account for their kids and anytime the child receives any monetary gift, the money should be deposited in the account, when it is deposited, show the passbook to the child that his/her money has increase with so-so amount given to him/her by aunty/uncle something, that would be a motivation for the child to want to save and increase the amount in his account each time he has monetary gift.


@Efe, with teenagers, if this had been in practise since childhood, he/she would have got used to it.



@all,
If there're other ways to teach our children the value of money, please, let's drop it/them, we are all here to learn from one another.
May God help us all.

well said.we r all here to learn..I apreciate ur own opinion

Haywhymido: Nice write up.@ ur last sentence, But y shd i av packet of sweet,biscuit at home Wont dat make it eazy to get for them. If dey want biscuit let dem go n buy it,i think buying it will be more moderate . Buy packet of biscuit at home for ur children nt only at ur own peril but also dat of d children too n dey will finish it within 3 or 4 days. Dis small kids dont send anyone

..exactly why u need to train the child to respect when you say touch and don't touch..dnt u think so?

EfemenaXY: @ , longest time dear. How are you, Oga, the little soldiers and their cousins? Kudos to you babes. You are indeed a solid rock in your family

Re: kids and teenagers, I beg to differ, especially for the older ones.

The problem with most Nigerian parents is that they're too controlling and not trusting -especially with financial matters and relationships with the opposite sex.

There comes a point in time where we have to "let go". Rather than do so overnight (which can be overwhelming), it's best to start gradually. Start the pace by talking to your child about money from a young age. As they get older and wiser, take your talks & lessons about money one step higher. Introduce them to handling money.

Start with smaller tasks like asking them to purchase things from your local shop so they understand the concept of handling money, as per buying, calculating change, etc. Start off by being there with them. Then as they get older, let them do it themselves. Gradually 'up' the requests as they get more confident in their abilities.

Talk to them about the importance of prioritizing and budgeting. Then put this in practice by giving them real-life scenario problems where they have to make choices with limited funds. A practical example is asking your child something like this: I'm a student at Uni, far away from home. After paying off my essential bills, I'm left with just £10 for feeding. Do I go into my local Chicken & Chips shop to purchase a single meal costing £5.00? Or do I go to the nearby market to purchase ingredients for rice & stew (including a box of drumsticks) totalling £7.00 - which would last me for a whole week?

***Mothers, teach your sons how to cook!***

Also trusting your teenager to make the right decision is something I find many Nigerian parents lack. Rather than shout, yell, hail fire and brimstone at them for overspending or wanting to indulge in the latest fads in town, give them some money to purchase what they need, as opposed to what they want, with the understanding that they'll have to live with their choice.

Encourage your teenager to draft a monthly budget of their essentials. Trust me, when they see their budgeted list in black-and-white on paper / screen, that money given to them suddenly doesn't seem so much and will most certainly curb any spending spree they might have been contemplating.

Make sure they have their own bank accounts to manage their funds, but most importantly, instill the concept of "actions and consequences". It's okay to make mistakes as we learn from them, but what better way for your kids to make them, if not from the safety net at home?

It's best to always remember that teenagers are "mini adults" and should be treated accordingly with guidance, respect, and love.

nice one..
