dayokanu: Yoruba is a tonal language and it depends on the tone it comes out

Ogun means drug, Ogun means war, Ogun means Inheritance, ogun means 20, Ogun is also a river, Ogun is also a god of iron

kinethic: I decided to open up this thread because of what I noticed when visited home from abroad last year.
Relaxing with my cousins and friends in restaurant and joints.I realized that most of them have protruding stomach like pregnant women.
They said to me you are thin and muscular no meat .
I said I am on diet and try to control my cholesterol .Besides I don't drink alcohol and don't smoke..
That there is chances that I will stay stronger ,longer and active.Coupled with my daily exercise like stretching every morning ,light running,playing basketball .
I also walk to the office or by bus rather than driving.
I told them I walk a lot hardly drive and it keeps me away from hospital from the last 12 years abroad .
Only had a discovery of artery problem before I cultivated the idea of staying healthy.
According to the doctor ,I can reduce or rid the blockage by change of lifestyle and do more exercises. I love cars but right now my wife drives me to most of places we go.
But in all these for the next two weeks I noticed they have consumed tonnes of alcohol ,
Meat and less vegetables.And don't forget smoking.
I was telling them you guys are hurting your selves by this way.
You know big boys attitude who consumes a lot of beer and smokes.
I love my cousins I gave them advise to go do check up and see what's in their bodies.
After 2 months I left Nigeria one of them called me and told me terrible news of heart attack and diabetics ..
I wasn't surprised ..So it's like he will heed my advice to change his lifestyle .
So the message I am passing is that we should try to be conscious of our health.take care of it,exercise more ,drive less,check up annually and In fact change our d habits. These are some of the reasons young guys drop dead any how.
Because we haven't developed this culture of being alert to our health conditions.
God bless everyone,

modextus: samuel said if yestarday was tomorrow today will be friday.what day did he say this?

Aafulenu: being in church does not in anyway change a person's moral standing.

jude33084: Do you mean certificate?

Because your degree is in you ♏ãn.
Besides alot of successful business and hitech guys in Naija had 3rd class.






Maybe it is coconut SHELL you mean. SHELL BP does not invite 3rd class graduates for aptitude tests unless in your dream world. The truth is that certificate does not determine how far a man may go in life. That does not mean that mediocrity should be celebrated. Young people should be encouraged to work hard and get the best results in school- it doesn't hurt. Talent and skill are prized more than any class of degree.




In Shell aptitude text 3rd class did better than the so called 2nd class upper



One 2nd class upper from Delsu that graduated from masscom couldn't spell "broadcasting"

Pergrace: No it is not proper

No matter your age, what will be will be.
I remember at age 30, I went to the UK to study for my Masters program based on the following:
1. I couldnt apply for graduate positions here in Nigeria because of my age.Mind you I don apply tire for Naija sotey I pass age 27.. ..
2. I needed to upgrade my status in other to make a head way in the job market
3. Probably come back to Nigeria and excel in my career as a post graduate experienced personnel.

In the UK,I found out that age was never a barrier cos I got a couple of interviews for graduate positions.
However,I was NOT able to hit a dream job in the likes of Exxonmobil, Shell,Chevron, Schlumberger etc.Getting fustrated,I decided to return to Nigeria,within 6 months I got a job.Right now I am doing well in an Oil and Gas company.I did not enter as a graduate but got a job as a manager.

So my advice is please,do not reduce your age

Pidivine: I've resolved to be self employed. Though still apply for jobs anyway. Pls when u guys become employers do not place the age hurdle.
My friend in deeper life just called and told me that his church refuse to join him in marriage because he is older than is fiancee by 10year. If he had lied he wouldn't have had issue. Why are we bent in frustrating the youth of this generation? Even in religious places age has also become a barrier.

freecocoa: All these questions you asked are useless and doesn't make sense as far as I'm concerned.

How would you know how many people she's helped?(widows and orphans alike). Again the issue of judging someone you don't entirely know comes to light, shey she is supposed to tell you personally before helping anyone? Please y'all should remove the log in your own eyes before trying to remove the speck in someone else's eyes.

ayosmiles: Fame and success are goverened by the rule of demand nd supply and not morality. Btw, morality is subjective, u will always xplain morals from your point of view. If some pastors who do these so called lewd things in secret are celebrated for d good things they do in public, thn celibrities should be celebrated for every good thing they do in public despite some other acts that some people find immoral. Who are u to say something is immoral. Goldie deserves to be celebrated, she carved a nich for herself nd introduced new concepts. She is a peace ambassador and an advocate of nonviolence against women. Is that not good enough. At least she didnt steal or harm anybody. U ppl critizizing her, wht have u done for your society? If u dont like her its a personal thing, then look the other way

stillwater: Exactly! What you sow you reap, abi? That is to say the men in these stories reaped, are reaping or will reap what they had sown!
So what are we all crying about?

dulphines: Any test organised by these oil firms is SCAM. They'l select the already selected before the test.

vanstanzy: WTF!!! 88billion This guy is a FV*CKING THIEF. Infact all terror groups in this world should go after

his life.

fubbyy: I disagree and detest the man's attitude to the highest order, what if he visits, finds out that the guy is real then gave his daughter out and 2morrow something happened and the guy became poor, what will he do?

He acted as if he's selling his daughter which we don't do in igbo land

The daughter should be the one doing the findings not the man
