Frightening..... Another case of accidental discharge.... That's how a young man lost his life in a cab.... A policeman entered the cab with a gun...and the output of the gun was pointed to his face... The young man politely asked the policeman to point the output else where....The policeman trying to adjust the gun,released bullets that killed this poor guy instantly! The policeman was beaten black and blue until his colleagues came to his rescue..... I don't know about the police policy or rules but I think not all policemen should be with a gun....some don't even know how to operate or handle it esp when drunk and some of the guns are old and can shoot any how...... Personally,am very cautious with policemen that carry weapons...cos it can go out at any time! |
donjobill:Exactly! |
Watch out for a denial after days of being lambasted.... channelstv will apologise and use a reporter as a scapegoat.... And zombies will have a field day talking nonsense.... |
solasoulmusic:We are saying the same thing but a slightly different manner... You can't overlook...that's the impression am trying to correct! Its dangerous to ignore.... No matter how you love some one,there is some thing that might make you stop loving the person.... Does this person believe that there is room for improvements? Does the person also know you want the best for him hence you seek matured ways to guide and advise them? You can't advise some one who has already decided to be that way..... True,people hide their secrets but for how long? The only person that hides his or her secrets is one who doesn't want to learn and grow or the person who feels he will be mocked or shamed when he reveals her flaws hence the purpose of advise or encouragement is defeated! |
solasoulmusic:My dear I understand your line of thought....and that you need to inspire people to love you based on overlooking their flaws... However that ideology can become faulty in the long run esp when the person has decided to stay put since you condone their attitude! Let me offer you an instance.... Mike Tyson a world known boxer married a comedy personality( cant really get her name) Every time they had a disagreement Tyson punched her as if he was punching an opponent..... She would run out and hide....or lock her self... He would always beg and plead with her that she is the only one that understands him and he will change his habits.... (Tyson was an insecure and introverted man) After enduring physical abuse in the hands of Tyson,she decided to quit the marriage.... If she had endured or overlooked Tyson's flaws by now,believe me she would have been six feets below.... As much as I think its laudable to accept people's flaws simply because no one is perfect,its also instructive and imperative that these people realize the effect of their attitude or habits towards others....we don't live for just ourselves but others too! Do you know Robert Downey Jr. ? The actor behind the popular iron man character on Hollywood.. Do you know that many years ago he had issues with drugs... It was so shameful that Hollywood refused to call him for any filming.... It was so bad that people pleaded with him to get help or go into rehab..... he initially refused but when those around him started withdrawing due to his drug abuse,he just had to ask for help at the end.... Today,he is a normal guy and living right.... Had those around him overlooked his drug habits,would he seek ways to change or get help? We make mistakes in life..... It becomes a habit when it continues without correction.. In a classroom,there is a question and there is a correction.... We all need correction in our lives.... Let's correct others though not making it an every day narrative or using insults or harsh tones but making them understand that its for their own good.... ....and of course,there is no harm in others that also point out ur own deficiencies or flaws.....we live to correct each other,and inspire each other! No one is free from flaws...but it will be wrong to use one's flaws as justification to continue with their own flaw.... Life is about self-improvement and learning! |
That will only happen when we have good and standard pitches....and when our clubs are managed by business men and women....not the government owned clubs that put pressure on their team and match officials to win at all cost esp at home! |
solasoulmusic:In other words,are you either going to overlook the person's flaws and stick with them or tell the person about the implications of their flaws to people around them and forget the consequences.....? U really haven't hit the nail on the head.... Which do you feel would help the person to grow or improve? |
solasoulmusic:But you said it should be "overlooked"..... Overlook: bypass , disregard , FORGET , ignore , neglect, overpass , pass over Now based on your recent submissions,its obvious that you can't ignore such person's weakness.....right? Now am not in any way trying to say you should hate those with flaws....rather am saying you should be honest enough to tell them about their flaws though with patience and understanding...... However,what if this person whom you love is unwilling to change and believes that's who they are and you can't change them....will you continue to be with such person? There are people in this life who admit their flaws but refuse to change because they believe they don't need to.... I agree that God can do some awesome things in the life of a person but how long will you wait for the person to change when he or she thinks he doesn't need to change? No one is perfect but I believe if one knows about the implications of their flaws and how it affects those around them,then they won't need some one to tell them about what needs to be done about their deficiencies.... if I was an abusive person and I knew it was affecting me and people around me,I won't need to wait for some one to tell me before I change or put such flaws under control... |
solasoulmusic:Pardon me miss but I have a little issue with ur analogy.... U said When you love some one,you "over look" their flaws and focus on their strengths... right? I agree with the focus on their strengths but don't you think the person's flaws can also affect you? I thought loving some one means you are honest enough to tell that person the truth about the implications of their flaws rather than telling them its okay to have them... In other words, we should over look or tolerate a Casanova or a cheat.....right? We should also overlook a reckless or loose tongue.... abi? We should also condone an alcoholic person simply because we think there is a magical wand that can transform them? What about an abusive person or a brutal person or dirty person.....? Is love not about being truthful to the person you love by pointing to them about the implications of their flaws? As much as I know that no human is perfect,I do believe that there is room for improvements instead of massaging one's flaws...... |
True! |
Oblongata:What happened yesterday is clearly out of sheer recklessness and irresponsibility on the part of those who died.... Are you aware that it took a minute for the tank to explode which afforded those on the road enough time to escape? Do you know that during that time,there were people inside deir cars with their phones recording a fallen tank instead of running for their dear lives? Do you know that there was a man who refused to exit his golf car even when some one begged him to leave the car and scamper? All these people are not just dead but roasted not because of any spirituality,but because they failed to comprehend a very simple rule: SAFETY FIRST! |
Anigreat:Let's take away sentiments,was there anything wrong with his assertions? Please if there is one,please point them out..... |
splmosixx:U didn't answer my question...and its so unfortunate that a christian like you can spew such trash about Ogun killing some one....lol So its Ogun juju that protects you? Be matured and answer....if you don't know quietly ignore! You see destruction taking place and all you could do was say prayer as if you even believe in it like I discovered....even when I corrected you,you acted like most Nigerians..."passing the blame to others" A simple and logic question could only produce a worthless and unnecessary threat from you....smh Well am not surprised responses like these make me feel there are more kids masquerading as adults here.... Now I await your Ogun to do its worse... ![]() smh |
Troublemaker007:God will not answer your prayers until you change "Pray" to "Justice" The living need Justice and prayers.... Only the dead need Justice! Without justice,more accidents like these will unfortunately keep happening..... |
splmosixx:And what about you? Are you not a citizen of Nigeria? Don't you have solutions to the problem? will buhari remain president for ever? smh |
splmosixx:Is that your solution to the spat of accidents on that road? smh |
sassysure:True! |
Boss13:Thumbs up bro.... Our real problem is the way most people spiritualize the whole stuff as if those who died did not go to church on Sunday or attended midweek service on Wednesday or were not believers..... This accident should never have happened if only some one was careful enough to drive safely! |
FortifiedCity:Bro what you are saying and claiming is so wrong and should not be practiced as a believer! So what happened to the others that lost their lives in this horrible and sadly reoccurring incident? Where there no believers out there who died? So are you implying God selected people for protection while he left others to burn and die? As a believer,you should be sober and disturbed about the human lives that have been wasted in this inferno... Instead of trying to proffer solutions to what happened which can happen to any one,you are here thanking God for saving your own life and that of your family....With all due respect,that's selfish and insensitive! |
The police should not only arrest the pastor,they should also arrest those blind followers who could not open their bible... Where did the bible state that someone here is collecting $500 to have access to heaven? This is an explicit case of zombism and ibereberism! |
SIRKAY98:just seeing it on channelstv breaking news....it happened |
MosakuAW:We won't be saying this if Japan had drawn against Poland... And Senegal won't need fair play rule to knock them out had they played better in the final third! |
ozodigboo: ![]() |
fighal:Spot on bro....it seems people did not read the fifa rules! Senegal had the same points wit Japan but more yellow cards than Japan! |
Emekus92:No sir....they had same points as Japan but were knocked out due to having more yellow cards than Japan! Senegal:6 Japan:4 |
PRESENTATION:Senegal had 90 minutes to qualify for the second round.... Was there a Senegalese player red carded? No.... Let's be honest,Senegal at the last minute,like every other African team,fluffed their chances to qualify for the second round! |
I have discovered that most parents no longer check up on what their children are doing.... Where they are... What they are watching and who they are communicating or associating with... There is a woman who lives thereby,her 5 year old child was knocked down by a keke...thank God the keke was not on top speed....that would have been another tragic moment! The job or responsibility of parenthood is a very tasking one and an important aspect in the growth of any child.... Parents must endeavour to watch over their kids as if their lives depend on it... Always keep an eye on where or who the kids are playing or communicating with....and its not a bad idea to place a playground limit for them... Kids esp female during their tender are very vulnerable and must be protected from intruders! Too bad |
omoh see double dose on falcao....lol |
Candypot:True! |
It would seem some folks here misunderstood the point of the op He didn't say you should not give your best in a relationship....Rather you should do so because it will make you feel happy not because of marriage! |
victorian:hmmmm....superb submissions! |
whats he doing in a club when he is meant to be with his pregnant Wifey? See why I said marriage is not an app or device that breeds commitment or change habits....or character? |
