I just discovered this thread and developed instant interest in domain parking. Are there people making money in domain parking? What is the potential for generating revenue through domain parking in the online money making niche? Assuming a portfolio of three hand-registered domains in this niche, what factors would influence the revenue generated, and how much income could be expected if each domain receives 10,000 monthly visitors?
Religion / Re: Is It Wrong To Confront A Pastor Politely by OlamideOwoeye(f): 9:05am On Mar 26, 2023
I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're going through with your pastor. It's understandable to feel hurt and betrayed when someone you trust, like a pastor, shares personal information about you and your spouse with others without your permission.

In regards to whether or not it's wrong to confront your pastor, it really depends on your personal beliefs and values. Some people might feel it's important to stand up for themselves and correct the wrong impression that was made about their husband, while others might feel it's best to let it go and move on.

If you do decide to confront your pastor, it's important to do so in a respectful and calm manner. You could start by expressing your disappointment and hurt about what happened, and then ask for an explanation as to why he felt it was necessary to share such personal information with the congregation.

It's also important to remember that pastors are human and make mistakes, just like anyone else. While what happened was not okay, it's possible that your pastor may have had good intentions and simply made a poor judgment call.

Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether or not you want to confront your pastor. However, if you do decide to talk to him, try to approach the situation with an open mind and a willingness to listen and understand his perspective as well.

Religion / Re: Match Making In Church ( What's Your Own View?) by OlamideOwoeye(f): 8:58am On Mar 26, 2023
Abisolababe:
Good morning everyone, and I wish you happy Sunday

There is this particular church or God whereby the holy spirit through the messenger will match make couples together.
I have seen a instance whereby a lady who is also a member brought her husband to be to the church and when the holy spirit came the whole plan changed, and a guy who came from the United States was called upon and the lady was handed over to him.

What's your own view on matchmaking in the church by the holy Spirit?
Peace...

Note
It's a standard white garment church

the decision to enter into a romantic relationship and get married is a personal one that should be made by the individuals involved, rather than dictated by external forces.

Just for knowledge sakes, I discovered Abraham was a constant sojourner. Perhaps this was why he paid more attention to being acceptable in where he goes than fighting for love.
This explains why he called Sarah his sister to the king.

More wisdom.

Dating And Meet-up Zone / Sailing The Courtship by OlamideOwoeye(f): 11:24am On Mar 17, 2023
Courtship! The dance of love, the pursuit of a partner's heart, the stage where you put your best foot forward and hope for the best. It's a beautiful and often hilarious process, filled with moments of joy, awkwardness, and unexpected surprises.

Let's start with the classic move: asking someone out on a date. This can be nerve-wracking, especially if you're not sure if the other person is interested. You might spend hours rehearsing what to say, trying out different opening lines in the mirror. And then, when you finally work up the courage to ask, you might fumble your words or forget your own name.

But even if you manage to ask smoothly, there's always the possibility of a curveball. Like the time my friend asked a guy out and he responded with, "Sure, but can my mom come too?" (Spoiler alert: she did not go on the date.)

Assuming you make it past the initial hurdle of asking, you then have to plan the actual date. This can be another minefield, especially if you don't know the person well. Do they like fancy restaurants or casual diners? Are they into hiking or movies? Do they have any food allergies or strong opinions about sushi?

One time, a guy took me to a fancy restaurant and ordered for both of us without asking what I wanted. I ended up with a dish I didn't like and a massive case of indigestion. Lesson learned: always ask about food preferences!

During the date itself, you're constantly trying to read the other person's signals. Are they laughing at your jokes because they genuinely find you funny, or because they're trying to be polite? Are they leaning in because they're interested, or because they can't hear you over the background noise?

And then there's the physical aspect of courtship: holding hands, kissing, maybe even more. This can be both thrilling and awkward, especially if you're not sure if the other person is on the same page. I remember one guy who went in for a kiss at the end of the night, but I was so surprised that I turned my head and he ended up kissing my ear. Oops.

Of course, not all courtships end in happily ever after. Sometimes you realize you're just not compatible, or the timing isn't right, or one person is secretly a vampire. (Okay, maybe that last one is just in Twilight.) But even in those cases, you can look back on the courtship with a sense of humor and appreciation for the experience.

Because let's face it, courtship is both ridiculous and wonderful. It's a chance to connect with another person, to learn about yourself, and to make memories that will last a lifetime. And if you can laugh along the way, even better.

Your narrative is not fully correct.

Yes God is Good and yes Satan is evil but it is not really a God vs Satan war but a Satan's "I will spoil and destroy all of God's works to the best of his ability".

Thus, the decision is a would you join Satan in destroying both God's works, (yourself inclusive) for you yourself are also a work of God!

Thanks for the contribution. I love corrections and would appreciate if you highlight the part of my narrative that is not fully correct.

versus
/ˈvəːsΙ™s/

"Versus" is a preposition that means "against" or "in opposition to". It is often used to describe a competition or conflict between two or more entities. For example, "The football game will be Team A versus Team B," or "The court case is Obi versus Femi." In these contexts, "versus" implies that the two entities are competing against each other or in opposition to each other. It can also be abbreviated as "vs." in informal contexts.
Religion / God Vs Devil by OlamideOwoeye(f): 9:26pm On Mar 15, 2023
God and the Devil have been at odds for millennia, and it's not hard to see why. They're like two sides of a coin: one is all about love, peace, and harmony, while the other is all about chaos, destruction, and mischief. Let's take a closer look at the differences between these two supernatural heavyweights, with a little help from the Good Book:

Appearance: God is often depicted as an old man with a long white beard and flowing robes (Daniel 7:9, Revelation 1:14). He's got that "wise grandfather" vibe going on, and you can't help but feel comforted in His presence. The Devil, on the other hand, is usually portrayed as a horned, red-skinned monster with a pointy tail and a pitchfork (Revelation 12:9). He's like a rejected character from a heavy metal album cover.

Powers: God has the power to create worlds, heal the sick, and perform miracles (Isaiah 40:28, Luke 6:19, John 2:11). He's like the ultimate life coach, always there to guide you and help you reach your full potential. The Devil, on the other hand, has the power to tempt, deceive, and corrupt (Matthew 4:1-11, 1 Peter 5:cool. He's like that shady uncle who always wants you to try his "special brownies."

Attitude: God is all about forgiveness, compassion, and understanding (Ephesians 1:7, Psalm 103:8-13, Luke 15:11-32). He's like a loving parent, always ready to forgive you when you mess up and guide you on the right path. The Devil, on the other hand, is all about temptation, anger, and rebellion (Genesis 3:1-7, James 4:7, Revelation 12:7-9). He's like that rebellious teenager who's always trying to push your buttons and get you in trouble.

Goals: God's goal is to create a world of love, peace, and harmony (John 3:16, Ephesians 2:14-18, Revelation 21:1-4). He wants us all to get along and be happy. The Devil's goal, on the other hand, is to create chaos, destruction, and suffering (John 10:10, 1 Peter 5:8, Revelation 12:12). He wants to watch the world burn (metaphorically speaking, of course).

The differences between God and the Devil are clearly described in the Bible. Ultimately, it's up to each individual to decide which path they want to follow. However, it's important to remember that following the Devil's path may lead to negative consequences, so it's important to choose wisely.
Health / Keeping Sane In An Insane World by OlamideOwoeye(f): 8:14am On Mar 10, 2023
Oh, mental health! It's the most important thing in the whole wide world, and I'm not even exaggerating! I mean, think about it - your mental health affects everything from your thoughts and feelings to your actions and relationships.

Let's take a look at some hilarious (but relatable) scenarios to show just how important mental health really is.

Scenario 1: The Boss from Hell


Picture this: you work for a boss who's so stressed out and uptight that they could use a good yoga class or ten. They're always barking orders and snapping at everyone, and the office feels like a war zone.

Now, imagine if that boss had taken some time to work on their mental health. Maybe they started seeing a shrink to talk through their issues, or perhaps they tried some meditation to chill out a bit.

In this alternate scenario, the boss would be a lot less of a nightmare to work with. They'd be more patient and understanding, and they might even crack a smile once in a while.

Scenario 2: The Nervous Nellie


School can be tough, especially if you're prone to anxiety. The pressure to perform can be overwhelming, and sometimes it feels like you're drowning in your own fears.

But what if that anxious student had taken some steps to manage their mental health? Maybe they started going to therapy or tried some deep breathing exercises.

In this alternate scenario, the student would be feeling a lot more confident and in control. They might even start enjoying school and getting better grades. Who knows, they might even become the class clown!

Scenario 3: The Sad Sack


Depression is no laughing matter, but let's face it - we've all got that one friend who's a total downer. They're always moping around and bringing the energy down, man.

But what if that friend started working on their mental health? Maybe they started taking some antidepressants or tried some self-care like bubble baths or karaoke nights.

In this alternate scenario, the friend would be feeling a lot more upbeat and positive. They'd be cracking jokes and getting the party started. Who knows, they might even become the life of the party!

So there you have it, folks. Mental health is no joke, but it's also nothing to be afraid of. There are plenty of ways to manage your mental health and start feeling better. So go ahead, crack a smile and give yourself a mental health check-up today. Your funny bone will thank you for it!

Here's a little song I wrote:

Verse 1:
There's a weight on my shoulders that I cannot bear
It's like a heavy blanket that suffocates me everywhere
I feel like I'm drowning, but nobody can see
The invisible chains that bind me, and won't let me be

Pre-chorus:
But then I hear a voice, a whisper in my ear
Telling me it's okay, that help is near

Chorus:
Mental Health is something we should talk about
Don't let the stigma ever make you shut your mouth
It's okay, not to be okay
Just reach out, and ask for help today

Verse 2:
I take a deep breath, and I try to speak
But the words get stuck, and my knees go weak
I feel so vulnerable, and exposed to the core
But I know I can't keep hiding anymore

Pre-chorus:
So I gather all my courage, and I make the call
To a friend, a therapist, anyone at all

Chorus:
Mental Health is something we should talk about
Don't let the stigma ever make you shut your mouth
It's okay, not to be okay
Just reach out, and ask for help today

Bridge:
We all have our struggles, our fears and doubts
But we're not alone, we can help each other out
So let's break the silence, let's start the conversation
And let's build a world with more compassion and understanding

Chorus:
Mental Health is something we should talk about
Don't let the stigma ever make you shut your mouth
It's okay, not to be okay
Just reach out, and ask for help today

Outro:
Mental Health is something we should talk about
Let's break the silence, and let our voices shout
It's okay, not to be okay
Just reach out, and ask for help today.
Religion / White Passport by OlamideOwoeye(f): 7:39am On Mar 09, 2023
Are you a citizen of Heaven, my friend?
Do you have your passport, to journey's end?
The flight awaits, don't be left behind
Give to Caesar what's his, and peace of mind.

The gates of pearl, the streets of gold,
A paradise of love, never grows old,
But to enter, you must have the pass,
No shortcuts or detours, just faith that lasts.

The angels sing, the trumpets sound,
A celebration, the King is crowned,
And all who enter, have their names written,
In the Book of Life, forever smitten.

So don't delay, don't hesitate,
Repent and believe, before it's too late,
For the white passport, the only way,
To see your daddy in Heaven, one fine day.


The journey ahead may be rough and long,
But with Jesus, we are never wrong,
He walks beside us, guides our way,
And in His arms, we safely stay.

The white passport, a symbol of grace,
A reminder of the love that we embrace,
It grants us access, to our true home,
Where we are known, and never alone.

So cherish this passport, with all your might,
And live a life that's pleasing in His sight,
For when the day comes, and the flight takes off,
You'll be ready, with no fear to scoff.

For the destination, is worth the wait,
A place where love and joy never abate,
And with your white passport, in your hand,
You'll join the choir, in a heavenly band.

So let your light shine, for all to see,
And share this passport, with humility,
For the gift of salvation, is meant to be shared,
So others may come, and be spared.

And when the journey's done, and the flight is over, You'll see your daddy, and all will be in order,
For with your white passport, and a heart of gold,
You'll hear the words,
"Well done, my child, you're home."

Family / Live Long And Good By Eating This Food by OlamideOwoeye(f): 7:22am On Mar 09, 2023
Are you one of those people who don't believe in heaven? Do you think it's just a fairy tale made up by religious folks to keep us in line? Well, let me tell you something - even if you don't believe heaven is real, it's still a good idea to prepare for it. Why, you ask? Because God's laws don't hurt!

Let's take a look at some real-life scenarios that will show you why it's important to live a good life, even if you're not sure about the afterlife.

Scenario 1: The corrupt politician

You may think that as a corrupt politician, you can get away with anything. You can take bribes, embezzle funds, and do all sorts of illegal activities without consequence. But what happens when you die and face judgment? Will God be pleased with your actions? Will you be able to justify your corruption to Him?

Scenario 2: The cheating spouse

Maybe you're cheating on your spouse and think that as long as you don't get caught, it's okay. But what if you do get caught? What if your spouse finds out and leaves you? And what if you die before you can make things right? Will God be pleased with your infidelity?

Scenario 3: The dishonest businessperson

You may be making a lot of money by being dishonest in your business dealings. But what happens when you die and face judgment? Will God be pleased with your dishonesty? Will your wealth be enough to save you from the consequences of your actions?

Now, these scenarios may seem extreme, but they happen all the time in Nigeria. And while you may not believe in heaven or the afterlife, it's important to remember that living a good life and following God's laws doesn't hurt. In fact, it can only bring good things into your life. You'll have peace of mind, good relationships, and a clear conscience.

So, whether you believe in heaven or not, it's always a good idea to live your life with integrity, honesty, and kindness. Who knows, you might even inspire others to do the same!

FisifunKododada:
Then my future self is a lazy yoot, I will flog him senseless.

Well, it sounds like your future self better watch out grin – nobody wants to get on the wrong side of a flogging from their present-day self! grin

But hey, before you go all Hulk on your future self, maybe give him a chance to explain himself. After all, maybe he's not lazy, but just really good at taking breaks and recharging his batteries.

Or maybe he's discovered a new hobby, like competitive napping or extreme Netflix binging. Who are we to judge, right?

But if all else fails, just remember this: violence is never the answer. Instead of flogging your future self, why not try a more constructive approach? Maybe offer him some motivation or encouragement, or even just a gentle kick in the pants to get him moving.

And who knows – maybe your future self will surprise you and turn out to be a real go-getter! Or maybe he'll just be a lazy yoot forever. Either way, don't let it get you down. After all, the present is where all the real action is at!

Cheers to you, my friend. Don't let your future self bring you down – you've got this! grin

it's obviouvs that lady has refused to understand your POV

Stop arguing with her and move on


Even Lord Jesus Christ Himself will not enter a house that does not welcome Him

Well, it sounds like this lady is as stubborn as a donkey in a carrot patch! Sometimes, no matter how hard we try, we just can't get through to people.

But hey, that's life! We can't please everyone all the time. Even Lord Jesus Christ Himself had his fair share of naysayers and skeptics.

So, my advice to you? Don't waste your breath arguing with someone who just doesn't get it. Life is too short for that kind of nonsense! Instead, focus your energy on spreading positivity and light wherever you go.

And if all else fails, just remember this: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. So let this lady be like that stubborn horse, and you can be the friendly neighborhood bartender offering up some refreshing drinks to the thirsty souls who are ready to receive it!

Cheers to you, my friend. Don't let the naysayers get you down!

actually i am more interested in how his normadic lifestyle affected his relationship


Father Abraham, known as the "father of many nations," was undoubtedly a great leader and faithful servant of God. But what about his love life? Did his nomadic lifestyle affect his relationships?

Well, let's take a closer look. Father Abraham was known to travel extensively throughout the Middle East, so it's safe to say that he wasn't always in one place for very long. This could certainly pose some challenges when it comes to maintaining a stable and committed relationship.

Imagine trying to plan a date with someone who's constantly on the move – it's not exactly easy! And what about trying to build a future together? If one partner is always on the move, it's hard to settle down and start a family.

But despite these challenges, Father Abraham was able to maintain a strong and loving relationship with his wife Sarah. In fact, their love story is one of the most famous in the Bible!

So, how did they do it? Well, for starters, they had a strong foundation of trust and faith in God. They were able to lean on each other and rely on their shared values to navigate the challenges of their nomadic lifestyle.

But that's not to say that there weren't some bumps in the road. There was that one time when Father Abraham tried to pass off Sarah as his sister to protect himself from a potential threat... let's just say that didn't go over too well!

And let's not forget about Hagar, Sarah's servant who bore a son with Father Abraham. Talk about some relationship drama! But through it all, Father Abraham and Sarah were able to stick together and weather the storms.

So, what's the lesson here? Well, if Father Abraham can maintain a loving relationship while constantly on the move, there's hope for the rest of us! It takes a strong foundation of trust and faith, as well as a willingness to adapt and overcome challenges together.
Family / What If Your Future Self Had No More Answers Than You Do Now? by OlamideOwoeye(f): 3:35am On Mar 09, 2023
Do you ever feel like you're stuck in a career that doesn't really fit your natural talents or interests? As a Nigerian, I know firsthand how much pressure there is to choose a career path that promises financial stability, prestige, and respectability. But what if there was a better way to choose your career? What if you could use your innate gifts and talents as a guide?

Enter Rodello's Machine – a musical duo that asks us to look within ourselves for inspiration. As they sing in their song "Why Should You Look Outside Yourself?":

"Why should you look outside yourself
When everything you need is on the inside
Don't let them tell you who to be
Just be yourself and you'll be just fine"


Their words remind us that we already have everything we need inside of us. Our innate gifts and talents are the keys to finding our true calling and creating a fulfilling career and life.

As Nigerians, we are constantly bombarded with external expectations and societal pressures. We are told to pursue careers that are considered "prestigious" or "lucrative," regardless of our natural talents or interests. But here's the thing – if you're not passionate about what you do, you're not going to excel at it. And if you're not excelling at your job, you're not going to be happy or fulfilled.

So, how do you tap into your innate gifts and talents and find your true calling? Well, that's where Rodello's Machine's message comes in.

Picture this – you're listening to their music, and their words and melodies transport you into a world of infinite possibilities. You see yourself playing a musical instrument, writing a novel, building a skyscraper, or whatever it is that your heart desires. Their music shows you your true potential, and helps you discover the path that will lead you there.

But here's the catch – you have to be willing to look within yourself and tap into your innate gifts and talents. As Rodello's Machine reminds us, "everything you need is on the inside." So, if you're feeling stuck or unsure about your career path, take a moment to reflect on your innate gifts and talents. And if you need a little extra inspiration, just listen to Rodello's Machine – they might just surprise you with what they reveal!

Why are these religious fanatics fond of using this line

Regarding your comment about religious fanatics using the line "Please deepen your understanding of the Bible and obtain some historical books on the topic," it's important to remember that everyone has different beliefs and values. Some people may feel strongly about their religious beliefs and want to share them with others. While it's important to be respectful of others' beliefs, it's also important to have open and honest discussions.

If you feel uncomfortable or disinterested in discussing religious topics further, it's okay to politely and respectfully end the conversation. You can say something like, "Thank you for sharing your perspective with me, but I'm not comfortable discussing this topic further." It's important to prioritize your own boundaries and well-being in any conversation.

1. Your tales do this discussion no good as none of the above suggests that Abraham came to acquire all of his health as a result of being the live stock farmer which you claim. He was blessed and he did become great, but no indication that his wealth, even his silver and gold, came directly from this being a livestock farmer. undecided

I don't want to prolong this conversation further. Please deepen your understanding of the Bible and obtain some historical books on the topic.

1. You seem to be embellishing here. According to what is written in Genesis 13 vs 2, Abraham instead had lots of animals and gold and silver but nothing there indicates that all of that gold and silver or even the animals came from what you term "mad agricultural skills". undecided

2. Try to leave religion and its delusions out of the pages of scripture when you read it abeg. undecided

Ahoy there, matey! Let me spin you a tale about the great Abraham and his treasure trove of livestock, silver, and gold!

One possible explanation for Abraham's wealth is that he inherited it from his father, Terah. Genesis 11:32 states that Terah had other sons in addition to Abraham, and it's possible that he divided his wealth among them before his death. Alternatively, Abraham may have accumulated his wealth through his own business ventures and trading activities.

As for how he obtained his livestock, it's possible that Abraham either raised them himself or acquired them through trade or gifts from other people. In those times, livestock such as sheep, goats, and cattle were highly valued and were often used as currency for trade.

Similarly, Abraham may have obtained his silver and gold through trade or as gifts from others. These precious metals were highly prized and were often used as a medium of exchange in ancient times.

Overall, while the specific details of how Abraham obtained his wealth are not known, it's likely that he accumulated it through a combination of inheritance, business ventures, trading, and possibly gifts from others.

Legend has it that Abraham was one of the wealthiest men of his time, and his riches were the envy of all who knew him. Some say that he inherited his fortune from his father, while others speculate that he built it up through shrewd trading and business deals.

Abraham's wealth was the stuff of legends, and it's no wonder that his name has gone down in history as one of the greatest and richest men of all time!

Certainly! The book of Genesis in the Bible does indeed describe Abraham as a man of great wealth.

In Genesis 13:2, it is written, "Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold." This verse makes it clear that Abraham was not just well-off, but extremely wealthy, with vast amounts of livestock and precious metals to his name.

Furthermore, in Genesis 24:35, Abraham's servant describes him as "the blessed of the Lord," and goes on to say that "the Lord has greatly blessed my master, and he has become great. He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female slaves, camels and donkeys."

This passage further emphasizes Abraham's wealth and status, not just in terms of material possessions, but also in terms of his spiritual blessings from God.

So there you have it - the biblical account clearly portrays Abraham as a man of immense wealth and blessings from the Lord.

Hey there! So, you wanna know if Abraham was a farming pro? Well, let me tell you, he was more than just a pro, he was a boss! Genesis 13:2 tells us that this dude was rolling in it - he had so much livestock, silver, and gold, it would make your head spin. How did he get all that, you ask? With his mad agricultural skills, of course!

Abraham knew everything there was to know about breeding, herding, and managing livestock. He was like the OG rancher, the goat whisperer, the cow king! And get this, he didn't just do it in any old place - he did it in the Negeb, a desert region where farming and agriculture would have been super tough. But did that stop him? Heck no! He thrived in that harsh environment like it was nothing.

So, if you're ever in need of some farming advice, just remember - WWAD? What would Abraham do? He'd probably just drop some serious farming knowledge on you and make it look easy.

Agriculture is the deliberate effort made by man to till the soil, grow crops and rear animals for food and other purposes. Agriculture can also be defined as the art or practice of growing crops and raising of animal for man's use.

Romance / Re: What Was The Biblical Abraham's Main Business by OlamideOwoeye(f): 5:44pm On Mar 07, 2023
FriendsAndFans:
Just for knowledge sakes, I discovered Abraham was a constant sojourner. Perhaps this was why he paid more attention to being acceptable in where he goes than fighting for love.
This explains why he called Sarah his sister to the king.

Father Abraham was a real hustler! He was a jack of all trades, a master of many. He was like the Tony Stark of his time, except instead of making Iron Man suits, he was tending to his flocks and herds.

And let's not forget his skills in agriculture and trade. He could turn a profit like nobody's business! He was a true businessman, always looking for the next deal, the next opportunity to make a buck.

But being a nomad and traveler had its challenges when it came to love. I mean, it's hard to maintain a stable relationship when you're always on the move. It's like trying to build a house on quicksand!

And don't get me started on his love triangle with Sarah and Hagar. I mean, talk about drama! That whole situation was messier than a toddler eating spaghetti.

But despite the challenges, Father Abraham was a legend in his own time. He was a man who lived life to the fullest, always chasing after his dreams, and never backing down from a challenge. So, if you ever need a role model for your own business or love life, just remember Father Abraham!

INT. JUMOKE'S ROOM - NIGHT

Jumoke is getting ready for the party, trying on different


JUMOKE: "Ugh, I can't decide what to wear."

TITI: "How about that cute dress you wore to Nneka's birthday party?"

JUMOKE: "Hmm, that could work. What do you think of this lipstick?"

The party is in full swing, with music blasting and teenagers dancing.

JUMOKE: (nervously) "Uh, okay."

Jumoke walks over to Chinedu, trying to act cool.

JUMOKE: "Hey, what's up?"

CHINEDU: "Hey! Glad you made it."

JUMOKE: "Yeah, me too. This is a really great party."

CHINEDU: "Thanks. Hey, do you want to dance?"

As they start dancing, Jumoke can feel her heart racing. She's never felt this way before.

Jumoke and Chinedu are sitting on the couch, talking and laughing.

JUMOKE: "Really? That's awesome. What kind of music do you play?"

CHINEDU: "I like all kinds, but mostly hip-hop and R&B."

JUMOKE: "Nice. Do you have any songs you've written?"

CHINEDU: "Yeah, I do. Maybe I'll play one for you sometime."

Jumoke is lying in bed, replaying the events of the night in her head.

She can't believe how much fun she had, and how much she likes Chinedu.

But at the same time, she's feeling a little overwhelmed.

JUMOKE: "What if he doesn't like me back? What if I'm not good enough for him?"

Titi walks in, sensing Jumoke's anxiety.

TITI: "Hey, don't worry about all that. You had a great time tonight, and you and Chinedu really hit it off."

JUMOKE: "Yeah, but what if he just sees me as a friend? What if I ruin everything?"

TITI: "Stop with the negative thinking. You're amazing, and he'd be lucky to have you. Just take it one step at a time."

Jumoke nods, feeling a little more reassured.

DAD: "Why is it that every time I try to fix this thing, it just gets worse?"

Jumoke walks out of the house, laughing.

JUMOKE: "Dad, you're not a mechanic. Maybe we should call one?"

DAD: "No, no. I can handle this. Just give me a hammer and some duct tape."

Jumoke rolls her eyes, but smiles.

JUMOKE: "Alright, well, I'm heading to school. Wish me luck on my math test."

JUMOKE: (laughing) "I wish! But thanks, Dad. I'll see you later."

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY

Jumoke is sitting in class, looking nervous. Her friend Titi leans over.

TITI: "Hey, don't worry about this stupid test. I heard Mr. Johnson's grading on a curve."

JUMOKE: "Yeah, but what if I'm still the lowest grade? What if I'm just not good at math?"

TITI: "Stop that negative thinking! You're amazing at math. You just need to believe in yourself."

JUMOKE: (smiling) "Thanks, Titi. You always know how to make me feel better."

Jumoke is walking down the hallway, lost in thought. Suddenly, she bumps into a boy named Chinedu, dropping her books.

JUMOKE: "Yeah, I am. Jumoke."

CHINEDU: "Chinedu. Nice to meet you."

Jumoke picks up her books, feeling a little flustered.

JUMOKE: (blushing) "Uh, I don't know. I don't really do parties."

TEEN 2: "Come on, Jumoke! It'll be fun. You can dance and flirt with Chinedu."

JUMOKE: (laughing) "Flirt with Chinedu? What are you talking about?"

TEEN 3: "Oh, come on. You know you like him."

JUMOKE: (smiling) "Alright, maybe I'll go. But only if you guys come with me."

The friends all cheer, excited for the party.

event is in full swing, with various booths set up and people milling about.

CUT TO:

INT. BOOTH - DAY

Jumoke is volunteering at a booth for a mental health organization. She's handing out brochures and talking to people about the importance of taking care of their mental health.

JUMOKE: "It's not just about being happy all the time. It's about learning how to cope with the ups and downs of life, and getting the support you need when you need it."

A group of teenagers walks by and stops at the booth.

TEEN 1: "What's all this about?"

JUMOKE: "We're promoting mental health awareness. It's really important to take care of your mental health, especially as a teenager."

TEEN 2: "Why especially as a teenager?"

JUMOKE: "Because adolescence is a time of major changes and transitions, both physically and mentally. It's a time when a lot of mental health issues can arise, like anxiety and depression."

TEEN 3: "Wow, I never thought about it like that."

JUMOKE: "Yeah, it's really important to talk about this stuff and get the support you need. There's no shame in asking for help."

The teenagers nod, looking thoughtful, before moving on to the next booth.

CUT TO:

INT. CAFETERIA - DAY

Jumoke is sitting with her friends at lunch.

TEEN 1: "So, how was volunteering at the mental health event?"

JUMOKE: "It was really eye-opening. I never realized how many people are struggling with mental health issues, and how important it is to talk about it."

TEEN 2: "Yeah, it's crazy how much pressure there is on teenagers these days. Like, we're expected to have everything figured out already."

TEEN 3: "But the thing is, nobody has everything figured out. We're all just trying to do our best."

JUMOKE: "Exactly. And that's why it's so important to take care of your mental health, and to reach out for help when you need it."

CUT TO:

INT. JUMOKE'S BEDROOM - NIGHT

Jumoke is lying in bed, feeling more at peace than she has in a long time. She realizes that talking to the counselor and volunteering at the mental health event has made a real difference in how she feels.

JUMOKE (to herself): "I may not have everything figured out, but I know that I'm not alone. And that's enough for now."

EXT. LAGOS - DAY

The sun beats down on the bustling city of Lagos. In the midst of the chaos, we find a group of teenagers walking down the street, chatting and laughing.

CUT TO:

INT. CLASSROOM - DAY

We see the same group of teenagers in a classroom. They're all dressed in their school uniforms, looking bored and restless.

TEEN 1: "Ugh, I can't wait for school to be over. This is so boring."

TEEN 2: "Tell me about it. I wish we could just fast-forward to the weekend."

TEEN 3: "Yeah, but what are we going to do on the weekend? We always just hang out at the mall or something."

TEEN 4: "I don't know. Maybe we could go to the beach or something?"

The bell rings, signaling the end of the school day.

CUT TO:

EXT. SCHOOL GROUNDS - DAY

The group of teenagers walk out of the school gates and start heading towards the mall.

TEEN 1: "Hey, have you guys heard about that new social media app? Apparently, it's supposed to be really popular."

TEEN 2: "Yeah, I've heard of it. But I don't really see the point. We already have Instagram and Snapchat and all that."

TEEN 3: "I don't know. I kind of want to check it out. It's called 'Connect', right?"

TEEN 4: "Yeah, that's the one."

CUT TO:

INT. MALL - DAY

The group of teenagers enter the mall and start browsing the shops. They pass by a poster advertising a mental health awareness event.

TEEN 1: "Hey, look at this. There's going to be a mental health event here next week."

TEEN 2: "That's cool. But why do we need a mental health event? Isn't mental health just for crazy people?"

TEEN 3: "No, that's not true. Mental health is important for everyone. It's about taking care of your mind as well as your body."

TEEN 4: "Yeah, I guess that makes sense. But what does it have to do with us? We're just teenagers."

CUT TO:

INT. TEENAGE BEDROOM - NIGHT

We see one of the teenagers, JUMOKE, lying in bed, scrolling through her phone. She sees a post on Connect about a girl who is struggling with depression.

JUMOKE: "Wow, I had no idea so many people were going through this kind of thing."

She starts to feel a sense of unease, thinking about her own struggles with anxiety and self-doubt.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL COUNSELOR'S OFFICE - DAY

Jumoke sits in the school counselor's office, looking nervous.

COUNSELOR: "So, Jumoke, what brings you here today?"

JUMOKE: "Well, I've been feeling really anxious lately. Like, all the time. And I don't know what to do about it."

COUNSELOR: "I see. That's a very common problem, especially among teenagers. Have you talked to anyone about it before?"

JUMOKE: "Not really. I mean, I've mentioned it to my friends, but they don't really get it."

COUNSELOR: "Well, that's why I'm here. I'm here to listen and help you figure out what you need to do to feel better."

mentor or coach who can help guide you towards your purpose

IF you get anyone that wants to be your mentor you are lucky. people think its a pre-billing plan

Thank you for your comment! It's true that having a good mentor can be incredibly helpful in finding and pursuing your purpose. Unfortunately, some people do view mentorship as a billing opportunity rather than a genuine desire to help others.

Have you had experience working with a mentor or coach before? If so, how did it go? If not, what kind of guidance or support do you think would be most helpful for you in achieving your goals?

I appreciate your input and would love to hear more about your perspective on mentorship.
