On the Life Exam seat now, please I need urgent response to any of these posers: 1. What is the commonest and easiest sin that people commit? 2. Can you advance with your partner to the altar when God hasn't really said 'yes, go ahead' ? 3. Why is the graveyard soil considered the most fertile eventhough, agriculturists can't prove it ? 4. Why do people continue in sin...lie, malice, fornication, lust, abortion, drunkeness e.t.c when they have heard and read that God detests sin and anyone that practises any of them will not see God yet they derive joy in committing the same sin without contrition ? 5. Was this world really created on easy architectural plan of comfort and peace ? 6. Why do most male instrumentalists and musicians fall easily and lose their worth and glory into the hand of ladies ? 7. Why do people praise and celebrate notorious youths in the churches, schools and community at large ? |

Education / WISE African proverbs by Olayemie(m): 9:46pm On Sep 10, 2014 |
FUNNY BUT WISE AFRICAN PROVERBs A person who sells eggs should not start a fight in the market. No matter how far an eagle flies up the sky ,it will definitely come down to look for food Respect the fools to avoid noise The little opportunity given to a monkey to wear cloths does not guarantee it to join the dinning table. You cannot convince a monkey that honey is sweeter than banana No Matter How Hot Your Anger May Be, It Cannot Cook Without fools there would be no wisdom. however much the buttocks are in a hurry, they will always remain behind Before You go out with a widow, you must first ask her what killed the husband. 'A child can play with its mother's breasts, but not its father's testicles' There's no virgin in a maternity ward.. . It's better to fall from a tree and break your back than to fall in love and break your heart. If A Man Wants To Grow A Long Tooth, He Should Have The Lip To Cover it . An agama lizard in the village will always remain an agama in town "When the mouse laughs at the cat, there is a hole nearby" ‘It requires a lot of carefulness to kill the fly that perches on the scrotum’ Man wey carry Ogbono soup pot for hand,and d man wey carry fufu for head,na who go find who go? Na co-operation dey mak rice full for pot. Person wey madman don bite before if im see mechanic he go take off Ear wey no dey hear word, go follow head fall for ground when dem cut am Na person wey shit and im no clean yash fly dey follow pass Na when rain stop naim person wey carry umbrella dey know say na load im carry. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers. Don’t mistake a short man for a boy Anger, no matter how hot it is, can never cook yam. A goat’s frown cannot stop it from being taken to the market. monkey that eats grass instead of banana is a goat. No matter how far you urinate, the last drop always falls at your feet’’ Ashawo sef dey get serious boyfriend Because of sey sun too hot no mean say fowl go lay boiled egg. ADD YOURS |

Education / 21 Qualities Of Good Listeners by Olayemie(m): 12:14pm On Jul 29, 2014 |
I have been reflecting lately on how important (and how difficult) it is tolisten. I am coming to understand how much conflict and misunderstanding is related to a failure to listen well, and I want to become a better listener. I’ve been blessed to know many people who were good listeners. What makes them good listeners? Some observations: 1. Good listeners consider a person’s statements in relation to their presuppositions (as much as possible). They are willing to ask the question, “How does this make sense to them?” and genuinely seek an answer to that question in evaluating another person’s opinion. 2. Good listeners are not hasty in making judgments. They are willing to think about something for a while. They don’t have to categorize everyone and everything immediately. ” Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person bequickto hear,slowto speak,slowto anger” ( James 1:19). 3. Good listeners pay careful attention to words. They don’t assume that an idea they are hearing is identical to an idea they are already familiar with simply because it has similarities. They respect the complexity of reality and are willing to make fine distinctions and treat each person, each statement, each idea on its own terms. 4. Good listeners ask questions. Not to embarrass or attack, but to clarify and distill. 5. Good listeners are not lazy. They work hard to understand. They exert energy in listening. For example, other people can usually tell that they are listening from their body posture and nonverbal communication. 6. Good listeners don’t feel threatened by not controlling the conversation. They are comfortable with silence. They give the speaker unthreatened, unhurried space in which to operate while communicating. 7. Good listeners understand that everyone has different communication styles, and adjust their listening to correspond to the speaker’s communication style. For example, if the speaker is shy, they draw the person out more. If they are talkative, they interject more, etc. They don’t take a “one-size-fits-all” approach to listening. 8. Good listeners interrupt intentionally and gently, rather than habitually and rashly. 9. Good listeners recall their own subjectivity and finitude as a listener. They make evaluations with the humility that corresponds to seeing parts, not the whole. They consider the angle and point of view from which they are listening. 10. Good listeners are willing to listen to something even if it’s hard to hear. They don’t stop listening as soon as they become offended or turned off by the speaker. They can receive a rebuke. *. Proverbs 12:15 *. Proverbs 15:32 *. Proverbs 13:1 11. Good listeners do not unreasonably question the motives of the speaker. They make a good faith assumption that, all other factors being equal, the speaker is trying to communicate clearly and truthfully. 12. Good listeners don’t equate listening with agreeing. Good listeners understand that careful listening equips you to disagree well, because by listening you understand more clearly what it is that you disagree with. 13. Good listeners are not simply waiting to talk again when someone else is speaking. They actually value the contributions of other people. 14. Good listeners remember that you can learn from anyone. They realize that human subjectivity and fallenness is such that the most learned person can still learn from a little child. 15. Good listeners love people. They understand that listening is connected to every other aspect of relationships. They understand that there is simply no substitute for genuine affection for other people ( James 3:17). 16. Good listeners pay attention to nonverbal communication without discounting verbal communication. They pay attention to the fact that they are paying attention to both nonverbal communication and verbal communication. 17. Good listeners are willing to speak. They don’t equate listening with silence. They understand that the speaker may need them to communicate in order to further the conversation. 18. Good listeners understand that every act of communication takes place in a context or setting. They consider the way the context of a communication-event shapes the meaning. For example, they understand social dynamics and the way different situations call for different kinds of listening. 19. Good listeners are willing to stop listening to something that is perverse, wicked, or dangerously foolish. They understand that in a fallen world there are some things that are so evil or foolish that they should not even be listened to. They know when to draw the line. They use common sense. 20. Good listeners understand how important listening is to a relationship. They don’t assume or underestimate the value of listening;they value and seek to cultivate good listening skills. 21.Must be able to pay attention and make effort to get the spoken message. 1 Like |

Romance / Women Are The Most Wonderful creature i Have Seen On Earth by Olayemie(m): 10:42pm On Jul 10, 2014 |
Women are the most wonderful creature I have seen on Earth, but am yet to understand why some men are busy finding faults upon faults on them. Ok, lets look at them this way and tell me if am lying 1) Women are the only creature that can change their original surname just for the sake of love. 2) They are most easiest creature to convince. 3)They are the only creature that loves from the bottom of their heart. 4) They are the creature that can prefer to go to bed with an empty stomach, just to make sure that their children feeds well. 5) They are the only creature on Earth that cries very easily, just to expose their inward disposition. 6) They are always awake even at the dead of the night just to make sure that their children are protected. 7) They can even sell out their cloths just to buy food for their children, and also see them smiling. They are always ready to sacrifice their lives just to save the lives of their children. 9) They are always in the kitchen inhaling the smoke without complaining, just to prepare something for their children and husband to eat. 10) They are the only creature that can abandon their biological family and start up a new home with a stranger. 11) Even when they are battling with the pains of pregnancy, yet, they are busy looking after their husbands and children. e.t.c Infact If you love your Mum, TYPE MUM I LOVE YOU. 3 Likes |
