sunnymighty: Sure there are quite a good number of them and the fact that he is hard at hearing doesn't me he can't succeed in whatever he chooses to do. To start with I will suggest he learn the sign language because communication is very key. Allow him follow his dreams, you can go ahead with the 200k support bro.
Thank you Sir. I will certainly help him with that 200k regardless of what he decides to do. It's a once and for all stuff, so I want to make it count.
So a fellow came to seek my "wise counsel" but my own confusion is confused.
Here's the problem. A 40 something man with a wife and 3 children is struggling mainly due to being handicapped. (He's hard of hearing though not deaf)
He's otherwise an intelligent and hardworking man, but his hearing problem has limited or wiped out all his options in life.
He could only made a 3rd class in law, and was unable to go to the law schools which has reduced him to just hustle to survive.
He's a devote Christian, and thus can't go for ungodly gains.
Problem now is that he wants to borrow money from a loan app that's offering him #500k. He wants to borrow it and start something.
The fellow that came to me knew me as a "successful freelancer" hence he's "seeking my wise counsel"
Why I'm bringing this here is: Although freelancing can be great, it's not guaranteed. I made a small fortune from it, but it was a lot of work and at the time when it was less saturated. My big break was ranking and selling Amazon affiliate programs sites. This will take about 2years and more if you really know what you are doing. And 500k even if it's your personal savings cannot do it with this our crazy Xchange rate.
I advised them not to borrow but he asked "what do I do, waste away like that"? He's desperate, and it's understandable
I'm considering giving him 200k (he didn't ask for money) and telling him to go to his village and start some farming.
I want to see if anyone has a good idea to give as this is something new to me and it keeps flashing back in my mind.
I do really want to help, but I want it to count. Please, do you know anyone who's handicapped and how they succeeded?
CASTED and CRASSSHHHEDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Miserable combo of not up to 2.00 massacred by the italian heavyweights from Turin. Ticket bashed and stomped by the boot of abominable suffering. Washed away by the flood of terrors into the desert of disgrace. Stung ten thousand times by the scorpion of failure and burnt by the flames of misery. Charred wretched remains picked up and tossed into the portal of eternal darkness. Never to be seen again.
Dude be careful of satanic possession. I believe you are just trying to entertain and you have no malice in your heart. But the devil is a vile being and seeks to steal, kill and destroy by all means. You may be opening the door of your spirit to demons by repeatedly doing this. These words invoke so much darkness. Do a sober reflection and reconsider your action. #Peace.
The man wan test your loyalty in adversity first, before him bless you
It's not about trust issues, He need us to learn to forsake ourselves. This is because man is fickle and prone to fear. God cannot use anyone who is fearful and unwilling.
OtemAtum: The point is not that Judah didn't have kings 2500 years ago. The point is that the histories told about those kings are highly exaggerated and blown out of proportion by the writers of histories from time to time. Below is a record of the lies of Solomon as he revealed to his son some thousands of years back.
Common Era 22:12-33
12. This is the true story of my life, to Roboam my son alone have I written this, to make known the exact truth concerning me, Solomon his father. When I, Solomon, the king of the little Kingdom of Israel have sent men to count the number of people in my kingdom, after the death of David my father, they brought me number. 13. They said, there are 2,505 men and 2,671 women in the whole of the kingdom, with 4,914 children. Altogether, the population of the land is 10,090 people. 14. Now I called all the wise men of the land together and said, tell me, how can we make the kingdom of Judah seem great, even greater than Aksum where their population is about 80,000 people at this time? 15. Now the wise men said, we might be unknown at this time o king, but if we write a history of our land, according to our own wish, then in the future, we shall be made known in the way we portray ourselves. 16. Remember the histories and legends which that great man Moses left for us about the departure of Israel from Egypt. Although we have checked and have found that the stories of that man Moses, who was also called Yahweh, was not true, yet we made it a tradition and our belief. 17. And now Yahweh has replaced El as the Almighty God in the minds of everyone in Israel. For we know that Moses spoke of leading about a million Israelites out of Israel, but here we have but just about 10,000 Israelites. 18. Where are the children and descendants of the other thousands of people? By this we know that the stories passed down to us are mere exaggerations and lies, but we still believe them. 19. Now let us write large histories for Israel and make our kingdom a hundred times larger in that history, so that those in the future shall read of the things which we have written concerning ourselves and regard us as great people. 20. Then they shall make us great by themselves. 21. Now I your father considered these things and agreed with them, saying, let books of histories be written concerning this land Israel. Let us be regarded greater than the Syrians, Egyptians, Hivites, Hittites, Aksumites and all surrounding lands in our histories. 22. I Solomon shall write also books and words of wisdom, for I know how to do such things. I shall bring famous people under me and make them appear inferior to me. 23. I shall make Israel seem greater than all these lands in the matter of wars, civilization and even population. 24. Now I Solomon and my people set aside one year to write false histories, from the end of the books of Moses and Joshua till the present time. And we wrote according to our abilities. 25. And we wrote the Chronicle of this land Israel, wherein we added numbers from time to time to make our land seem great before those who should read them in the future. 26. Now I discovered that I could write words of wisdom, so I began to do so. And I wrote more than a thousand words of wisdom. 27. Now also, I thought, saying, there is wisdom in inflating the numbers of wives and concubines which I have. For I have seven wives and three concubines. And one of my concubines is your mother, for I brought her into the house to be one of my wives after she gave birth to you. 28. Now Roboam my son, if you read the Chronicles of the kings of this land Israel, you shall see that it is recorded that I have 700 wives and 300 concubines. This is falsehood. For I made the truth seem a hundred times more than it really is. 29. My father David left no book for me, but I hired the service of a chief musician from Gilgal named asaph. And he said to his choir, let us make songs for Solomon the king. Let it be known as the Psalms of David his father, because king Solomon has promised us lands and slaves in the land of Israel. 30. So asaph and his choir wrote many songs to be known as the Psalms of David my father. 31. As for me, I have made myself the wisest of all men and kings on earth, according to the stories of the Chronicles. For I wrote the Queen of Saba as one who submitted to me. And if the famous Queen of Saba is written as such, then in the future, tell me how I shall not be regarded even greater than her? 32. Also, I commanded that an ark should be constructed, so that the story of Moses and Joshua about a certain mysterious ark which none of us knew of could appear real. And I have commanded the construction of a temple. 33. Now Roboam my son, when you shall become the king, make sure writers are not lacking around you. For they shall write according to your wish and whatever is written shall stand.
kokkubabboni421: Permit me to derail, a large percentage of us now see The guy with the moniker Reighteousness99 as a celebrity. We’ve forgotten the likes of Shibaraba, pocohantas, Nwamaikpe, donatan18... these people go beyond face value to evaluate things. Someone spams virtually all the thread propagating a gospel that says only Christians would make heaven, yet we glorify these person amidst the relics and fanaticism we’re already battling? It’s beats my imagination, to see a full graduate reason devoid of common sense. A host of us are suffering from the backfire effect, hence when we are confronted with common reasoning, we quote the Bible and all religious scriptures to justify our folly. It’s truly finished. I long for the day the black man will give common sense a chance, only then can we create the society we want for ourselves
May God open your heart to understand the mystery of His Grace and Salvation through His only begotten Son, Jesus the Christ.
May He give you a glimpse into the riches of the glory of His saints and the hope of eternal life.
Many of us who profess to know God are calling on Him in spirit and truth. We know God as a Spirit, commune with Him and see His powers manifest dairly in our lives and that of others.
I now you do not understand how it could be possible and that's ok. You cannot understand the things of His Spirit with human senses.
But there's hope because He has not left Himself without witness or evidence. And He's near to all who calls on Him from their heart.
If you truly want to know God, do this: When you are about to retire at night tonight, keen and say that you really want to know God and ask God to make Himself available to you. That His servant, Emmanuel says He hears all who truly desired to know Him.
Do that and you will share your testimony. Congratulations in advance.
It's an open secret that Chinese companies can not be trusted on quality and security issues. But there's a limit you would expect them to go. It does however, seems like they are ready to descend to the lowest hell if that would make profit for them.
At a time when America is mobilising the West not to use China-linked companies in 5G network, and banning Chinese tech like Tiktok, one would expect them to be more accountable. Apparently, they are turning to Africa to continue with their nefarious activities.
Only God knows how many companies are engaged in many of the evils China is exporting.
Malware which signed users up to subscription services without their permission has been found on thousands of mobiles sold in Africa.
Anti-fraud firm Upstream found the malicious code on 53,000 Tecno handsets, sold in Ethiopia, Cameroon, Egypt, Ghana and South Africa.
Manufacturer Transsion told Buzzfeed it was installed in the supply chain without its knowledge.
Upstream said it was taking advantage of the "most vulnerable".
"The fact that the malware arrives pre-installed on handsets that are bought in their millions by typically low-income households tells you everything you need to know about what the industry is currently up against," said Geoffrey Cleaves, head of Upstream's Secure-D platform.
The Triada malware found by the firm on the Android smartphones installs malicious code known as xHelper which then finds subscription services and submits fraudulent requests on behalf of users, doing so invisibly and without the user's knowledge.
If the request is successful, it consumes pre-paid airtime, the only way to pay for digital services in many developing countries.
In total, Upstream found what it described as "suspicious activity" on more than 200,000 Tecno smartphones.
According to research firm IDC, Transsion Holdings is one of China's leading phone manufacturers and in Africa it is the top-selling mobile manufacturer.
In response Tecno Mobile said that the issue was "an old and solved mobile security issue globally" to which it issued a fix in March 2018.
"For current W2 consumers that are potentially facing Triada issues now, they are highly recommended to download the over-the-air fix through their phone for installation or contact Tecno's after-sales service support for assistance in any questions," the firm told the BBC in a statement.
It added that it is attached "great importance to consumers' data security and product safety".
"Every single software installed on each device runs through a series of rigorous security checks, such as our own security scan platform," it added. Common problem
At the beginning of the year, security firm Malwarebytes warned that similar pre-installed apps were found on another Chinese Android phone - the UMX U686CL. This handset was offered to low-income families in the US via a government scheme.
And in 2016, researcher Ryan Johnson found that more than 700 million Android smartphones had malware installed.
Google, which developed the Android operating system, is aware of the issue.
In a blog written last year it blamed third-party vendors, used by manufacturers to install features such as face unlock, for pre-installing Triada malware.
It said it had worked with manufacturers to remove the threat from devices
deedy111: I saw this huge python still alive hung on a stick and ready to be sold, Upon enquiry I was told it was caught in a local trap meant for smaller Bush meat. I hung around until the highest bidder got it for #4500 and took it happily home . Maybe someone here might know why the man was kinda happy.
While I agree that there could be marital rape, simply not being in the mood is not definitive for either parties provided they are living in peace at that time.
What I will consider as marital rape is a situation where couples are having unresolved issues and one party forces itself on the other without consent.
The problem with these yeyebrities is that everyone of them wants to have a say in every thing without actually understanding the issue at stake.
