Hamachi: HmmmmmmSad truth😥😥😥😥😥 This real-life story of Uncle Owusu, after living in the UK for 38 years and at the age of 71, Uncle Owusu finally relocated to Ghana this year—to live in his 6-bedroom mansion which took him 9 years to complete.
Apparently, now in Ghana and in his mansion, Uncle Owusu lives in the living room of the house while his caretaker lives upstairs in his huge master bedroom. This is because Uncle Owusu cannot climb the stairs without the help of another person. Even with help, it will take him 15 minutes to make the climb.
As such, Uncle Owusu has decided to stay downstairs of his mansion (in the living room) as all 6 bedrooms are upstairs. The house has a living room, toilet, and kitchen downstairs and 3 rooms on the first floor, and another 3 (including the master bedroom) on the second/last floor.
This is surely not how Uncle Owusu anticipated his retirement. But that is the reality of his journey. This will be the life of many other Africans living abroad—building mansions back home without caring about their old age.
In fact, if you are building a dream house for yourself to live in and by 50 years that house is not done, forget it.
Uncle Owusu almost wasted 38 years of his life doing menial jobs abroad hoping to go and retire back home in his mansion and enjoy life. Now, he has no life to enjoy and someone is really enjoying the mansion.
Like most aged persons, Uncle Owusu is not even able to enjoy a bottle of malt at his age—because that will shoot up his sugar level. Yet, he said he was working hard all his life to enjoy his best life which included eating and drinking the finest when he retires.
Now, he is only able to eat salads—and even that, without dressing. He cannot even chew any of the fine meat out there without his cholesterol sending warning signs.
How is this life and the great retirement? Yet, this will be the life of more than half of us.
The solution is to take mini-retirements now and enjoy your life and luxury now.
Stale which one is wasteful years dem no fit build parlor and kitchen for upstairs for am so the upstairs go dey comfortable for him even kitchen can be installed and everything will be well planned
kelvine: I disagree with you here. You can't say we are voting our slave masters, we choose who we want and it can't be same because we are too many to choose the same person.
Nope Tinubu was never a slave master. We have never voted Tinubu himself as president.
Most prosperous pastors have their church headquarters in Lagos and they have never been enslaved for one day. What we enjoy in Lagos is luxury in other places.
Tinubu is liberal, welcoming and progressive. He is also capable of giving Nigeria a different outlook.
Yes he is in APC under Buhari but this Government will be different. Quote me in 4 years
Stillthebest: Op, first don't commit suicide lol... I know you won't....see, if you think yours is big you need to see other family affairs. A worst case happened to me recently( a lil similar to yours)
Bible says respect your parents but don't be fooled by that statement to accept what you will regret later. The way your parents treat you now might be how they will treat you forever if you don't maintain a stand..so while maintaining your stand try and respect them. Has it occurred to you that parents always mind their language to a tough child and they tend to love the child more even when they are not aware of it?
This is what you should do, let the child leave or you leave her and let it be known to your parents while you won't live with her
If the girl needs your help in distance do it if you have it.
And, also reduce your rapport with her and your parents but make sure you still respect your parents...and help them accordingly when you have it.
Some parents are always like yours especially if they are not educated.
You still are going to face a lot of challenges that will test your stand in the family later in the future. For now begin to man up. Your parents acted on your weakness which has been known incontiously by them over the years.
As for your sister, distance and authority are all you need. She doesn't respect you yet. Hey don't think of you have money she will it is a fallacy. Respects are earned. Your tough stand but with modesty and civility coupled wit personality will earn you that.
Bestest answer....thumbs up bro...op you can see to this and finally I can see something to bank on..ain’t a first born but first male so much on my head and it’s not easy...but I know deep down maintaining your stand and less rapport is one of the best especially to parents.....
Melaye who mocked the ruling APC in a recent video where he described the party as ”scatter scatter and Jaga Jaga.”, has described the PDP as his home in a new video.
The video released by the Melaye was tagged "Bye bye to jati jati.", In the video Melaye is heard singing " Oh my home, oh my home, when shall I see my home PDP, when shall I see my PDP I will never forget my home, APC suffer me of o when shall I see my PDP I will never forget my home.
Senator Dino Melaye's decamping is coming at a time the new Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, faction of APC transformed into reformed APC, rAPC.
flyca: Because in the olden days, rice was a very special and scarce commodity, eaten in a big man's house during an occassion.
As time went by, it started being grown locally, but still in subsistent quantities. So average families could afford to eat it once a week. And as Christianity started penetrating into communities, Sunday gatherings became common, and was seen as a very spacial day. Hence the average families cooked rice mostly on Sundays.
Now it's become a tradition.
*oral history by my dad.
let me quote you cos my dad too is saying it now rice is usually eaten thrice a year nu year Christmas and Easter and it was not easily available and also cost
hence average family afford it once a week and mostly Sunday cos everybody is at home so as to have a taste that's y it's mostly on Sunday
they check your history, feedback, ratings, your response rate, and your profile if it actually match your description if they notice any slight stuff they are nice and will message u but will tell u hey am not seeing Enuf of this and that.... so this do that...... and u may finally miss d job
some jobs are meant to be done by group of team.... so using "we" is just a way to convince your client that it's a stage and different professionals in the field will also do there part
most client are happy when they see we cos they believe yes it's team work not just one person that's why... Tho am not a programmer but I once used it for one of my skill....
Lol...seriously though, once you have been rejected once, theres every chance they will keep rejecting you. Most especially happens in cases of those companies where you will have to register and create a profile before applying. I think your profile is archived in their HR database so unless you have gotten some additional qualification prior to the next advert, the story will remain the same.
Thats why it is advised to be careful while applying for jobs, if you did not meet their criteria, dont apply. Wait until they advertise a position you met.
can never look natural but it should have been more straight dan dis
usually d pop is responsible for d new shape... trado r good at times cos does will have time to check it on everyday bases rather Dan Doctor Who will just place u on pop straight away
