On the issue of being an elder means intelligent or smart. Here's my stand.

Being an elder does not not mean being smart or intelligent or even wise. It just means you gone through a lot of experience to actually say what will be the outcome of a particular situation (which you have experienced) if the person who is listening to you should either do the opposite of what you did or do what you did during your time in that situation.

Experience brings wisdom but it comes in quanta (physics terminology) or packets (for the layman). But experience doesn't mean wisdom. It brings wisdom in quanta (packets) that is for every situation you experienced, you have knowledge (which occurs when you understand it) that translates to wisdom but this wisdom is not one you have you think you can handle all, no, it's just for that situation and other situations that have similarities like it and applying wisdom from the previous experience that fits.

Like Capslocked said, HE SHOULD EARN IT! you don't have to listen to every elderly persons you see because they're elderly, you should be watchful and know at least a quantum of their previous lives to ascertain whether or not you should take them seriously on the issue at hand.

Great Lee

He's great regardless, but he couldn't be helped when he needed it. So Poor Lee and like my friend TheSourcerer would say: Police!

I see how you guys are writing down Marijuana but seems to forget that it's also medicinal. Marijuana can't make you useless. Rather it enhances anything within its reach in the body. Any man who wants to be useless will be whether he smokes Marijuana or not. It's a choice to be useless. I stopped smoking not because I was getting useless, but because it affected my health negatively (I had inflammation of the lungs).

TheSourcerer:
Bro if you wish not to smoke fine but eat it , or take it as tea to heal the 'inflamatary blah blah'
Plus side you get the high and it's medicinal that way





Do you believe in God if yes , ditch him now , sooner the better , cheers

Aight. Thanks. I do believe in God, but I hope it doesn't come in the way of you tagging in me your gore tragedy posts. I do love it even tho weird.

PrimadonnaO:
I’m creating this thread because I’m so upset! When I read certain stories on Nairaland, I can’t bring myself to believe it’s real... like how can people be so stupid... and then so wicked?

Right now, I’m referring to the thread on front page about the 29 year old man who’s got his girlfriend pregnant and doesn’t want to marry her.

If you’re a young girl reading this, you’re meant to learn from the stories and experiences of other people and be wise! Don’t make foolish mistakes!

So many people do silly things because they didn’t know better, and they never had anyone to advise them.
Let me tell you this for free today! Abstain by all means! Life is safer that way! But if you must have premarital sex, don’t you freaking sleep with a broke man! Don’t! Date only people who have shown a sense of responsibility. Work on yourself so you can attract better people to your life biko! Don’t sleep with a person you can’t marry! Don’t sleep with a person who lacks a sense of responsibility! My dear, it will end in tears! Because it’s either you end up having (an)abortion(s) at some point in your life, and run the risk of ruining your chances of having a baby ever again... contracting STDs, or you have a child out of wedlock! Having a child out of wedlock is double trauma... your chances of marrying a single responsible man reduces, you’ll be saddled with expenses you didn’t prepare for. An irresponsible father will still fail to cater for his child!

How has a girl of just 22 had multiple abortions in just a space of two years? Ah ah! Some people will just learn their lessons the hard way in this life!

Be wise o! This life is not balanced at all! You have to look out for yourself and do what’s in your best interest per time! Just look at the man she probably thought loved her! What manner of human being who loves a woman would make her abort babies after babies? At 29 his father still sends him money steadily! Mtcheww!

Last time I checked, rich people do get their girlfriends pregnant and refuse to marry them.

Good one !
I was caught smoking weed by my sister
Now she even rolls up for me , great development from this lockdown if you ask me , ,
The whole family is cool with it
I'm a full time Atheist
They aware
Full time familybonding if you think about it.

This is great. I stopped doing weed cause of my health. Well I was diagnosed with inflammation of the lungs (the doctor said, I don't believe it) so to avoid dying on the road (lord I am so scared of dying on the road with everyone looking) I stopped weed.

NB : I've noticed that people are closer to their God now than when they were consistently going to church , now they have this one-on-one 'realationship` with their God now than they did with pastors imams churches and mosque #fact

Honestly you couldn't be more right.

NB Sleep is really really good for the body , Meditation and Exercise too , do not underestimate these two in mental and physical development

true

Ariza:
Very annoying bunch! At my sister's wedding it got to a stage I had to call them to order. I went to one of them to caution them to stop the extortion.Then one replied "bi a se ma gba lojo ti eh na ni" ( that's how they will collect it on my own day) and I told them with what I've seen so far they won't be there. And to think after they packed the money they collected they still collect pay for the job done. Seriously I may scrap those people off when it's my turn.

Infact I will be doing lots of revolutions on that day, some things are just so meaningless to me.

50yrs and counting and you haven't tied the knot..


Food for wailers.

Righteousness89:
Not completely correct!

A Marriage needs to be Blessed! Someone who stands as a Representative of GOD needs to Bless the Marriage. E.g Pastor, priest, etc

GOD ALMIGHTY in the Beginning Blessed Adam and Eve..

Gen 1:28..

The Blessings spoken to a couple is important!

All the other things are really important!

When Jesus attended the wedding, he never blessed the union. He was there as a guest. Now listen, God only needs THE HEAD of the family to pronounce blessing on the union for it come to pass regardless of the presence of a pastor/priest.

Acidosis:
He's right. Business people (like makeup artist, photographer, event planner, decorator, etc) only made a merchandise of the whole thing to f00l intending couples and leave them broke or poorer.

We all will get sense post-Covid. People are still getting married despite the inactivity of these business people. With an extra fee of 25-30k, you can invite the registry/magistrate people to come and join you both in your home. Pay your dowry and zoom off!


"It's your day, make it memorable bla bla bla", they all say, but none of them will tell you that marriage is a journey. How do you start celebrating a journey you haven't even began so badly that you have to go broke or poorer in the process??

If there isn't a fool, a wise man will starve.

I opened this page thinking this is the work of Thesorcerer, disappointed tho... But wait, they're two?!

TheSourcerer:
hahaha dude, you like a walking dictionary , you never run out it seems ,Police how'd you even come up with that ?!

Lol it just hit me.

TheSourcerer:

Bruce Lee
While Bruce Lee technically didn’t die from an incident that happened while filming, he still technically passed out during production, collapsing while dubbing for The Game of Death at Golden Harvest Studio in Hong Kong. He was sped away to a local hospital shortly after. Doctors there pointed toward abnormal swelling in the brain as the cause, eventually getting it under control enough to discharge him.

Two months later, Lee went to sleep and didn’t wake up, and was later pronounced dead.

Poor Lee

KevinDein:
Risen has deactivated, a big big lost for this forum, especially for young men here as he seemed to be a good masculine figure. I, personally, always look forward to reading his comments.

Oh..No! I was learning from him how he managed his family.

I couldn't have answered better.

You only have on time to try as much as you can, once it elapses, that's the end.

Righteousness89:
If these men are given a chance to come back to life, do you think they will get involved in all these stuffs?

I don't know... And that's why there's no second chance

John Ritter



John Ritter collapsed while on the set of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter on September 11, 2003. Ritter had become ill while working on the ABC series and ended up collapsing on set. He was rushed to the hospital where he underwent surgery for a tear in his aorta, a rare medical condition that can hit without warning, writes Fox News.



Ritter died that evening, per Fox News. The show was retitled 8 Simple Rules and continued for another season with David Spade and James Garner as replacements, writes Access Atlanta.

Ritter was well-known for his many works in television and on film, particularly for his role as Jack Tripper in Three’s Company, according to Madame Noire

Sad.

Mf who killed Grimmie
Kevin James Loibl
After their performance ended at 10:00 p.m. local time, Grimmie signed autographs inside the venue. At 10:24 p.m., Grimmie was shot by 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl after initially opening her arms to give him a hug. As witnesses fled the scene, Loibl was tackled by Grimmie's brother, and the men scuffled.

He's got a cute face tho.

I have other means to live by. Not only the salary as a contract staff but I never wish to tell her even as we are still together, using that one as surprised package to cushion the effect in our marriage, which amazes her.

Till today, I looked mysterious to my wife and that is the best way to handle them (women)

No be lie you talk. But boy! Are you funny!
