Had I been told all this as a child I would probably have followed my passion to become a mechanic. Instead I'm a Doctor because of words like:
You must be crazy?
S'owa daada?
I will reset your brain with my belt!
Ewure!
And the best of them all is;
Your head is just a big bowl of senseless Akamu!

What a cruel World!

I'm glad u know the impact the above words had on you, I'm sure u'll make amends training your own child..

Thinking aloud/lighter mood: I guess you must have been so sturborn as a child. I'm sure u had strokes of cane in addition to those words..lol

Yrh so bode georges empire can start abi?

Even if Bode Goerge's empire starts I guess there is no place for PDP in Lagos.

Obasanjo had d best try with Koro in 2007 but didn't suceed.

You too? ooooh my daughter loves the sound of her own voice I tell you. She is a blowbyblow storyteller. Kai! I thank daily I only have 1 of her. All the same, I guess life will be kinda dull if we only had her 3 brothers. She is the 'spice' in the mix

Its good when you have a talking child cos its easier to communicate which builds more confidence in a child

Well, the era of imposition may be over for Tinubu as regards Governorship(like he did with Fashola in 2007) yet we all knw he has support for Ambode and all d local govt chairmen have all agreed to work for his candidate(Ambode) that they may also return to office as chairmen. I won't be suprised if Ambode emerges as flag bearer of APC in Lagos state.

Jagaban still in charge.

At a meeting with the aspirants alongside major party stakeholders in attendance Sunday night, Tinubu called for fair play from them even as he assured of a level playing ground in the contest to succeed outgoing governor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola.

The aspirants present at the meeting included Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, Senator Ganiyu Solomon, Supo Sashore, Adeyemi Ikuforiji, Dr. Femi Hamzat among others.

Party stakeholders present at the meeting hosted by Tinubu at his Bourdillion, Ikoyi Lagos residence included former acting national chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, state chairman of the party, Chief Henry Ajomale among others.

Tinubu who presided at the meeting, it was learnt, told the aspirants he was not personally involved with any of the candidates as has been previously reported even as he assured them of a level playing ground.

The meeting with aspirants is in the wake of what is being promised as a major challenge to Tinubu’s political dominance of the state from within and outside the party. A number of stakeholders have protested the alleged endorsement by major party officials.
The meeting lasted from 8.30 p.m. till about 10.00 pm, a source revealed.

“Asiwaju assured the aspirants that there will be primaries and that it would be open and transparent as he assured the aspirants to apply fair play in their campaigns,” the source revealed.

The APC leader also got a commitment from the aspirants to ensure that whoever loses does not rock the boat and that they should all back whoever emerges as candidate of the party.
Another source disclosed: “Our leaders advised us to take things easy. They promised to be fair to all of us. He (Tinubu) made it clear that there is no plan for consensus candidate.”

“But they asked us to work ahead of primaries. In fact, they all insisted on primaries and no suggestion of consensus candidate came up. Tinubu implored that whoever loses should take it in the spirit of sportsmanship, with the assurance that all will be given a level playing field.

I knew this will eventually happen cos there has been power tussle between Osoba and Amosun on who controls the state's party structure.. Well,now Amosun can focus on development and winning back the state and no more division and faction in d party.

Also this action by the SDP crew will only give the PDP the opportunity to reclaim the state if they unite before the general election cos same affected the PDP during the 2011 election.

As for SDP, it is dead on arrival.

Children are so adorable and innocent(novice) when younger (2-6yrs), the eairlier you start molding their mind, the better the future holds for them in the society.." Train your child in the way of the lord so when he grows he'll will not depart from it".

You can use these everyday phrases to instill confidence, self-respect, and thoughtfulness in your children.

Thank you
It's important to acknowledge your child's efforts to help you or others. You might say: "Thanks for helping me look for that missing sock" or "Thanks for setting the table; I got the salad made while you were doing that."

Tell me more.
Words like these show your child that you are listening and that you would like to hear more about what's on her mind. "Tell me more" encourages conversation without passing judgment or giving immediate advice – two responses that discourage further communication from your child.

You can do it.
Your expression of confidence in your child's ability to do many things without your help is important. As your child grows older, there will be many times when your encouragement will mean the difference between his giving up on a challenging task or seeing it through.

How can I help?
Let your child know you are willing and available to help her accomplish a particular task that may be difficult for her to manage on her own. You might say: "I think you can read that story by yourself now. Let me know if you need help with a new word." As your child takes on projects in school, encourage her to think of specific steps that are necessary to complete a project. You both can decide which tasks your child can handle on her own and which ones she'll need help with.

Let's do it together.
A child is never too young to learn that cooperation and team effort make many jobs easier and speedier – and often more fun: "Let's all pitch in and finish raking the leaves so we can go in and bake cookies," or "Let's all pitch in and clean up the kitchen or we'll miss the movie." Family activities and group chores can develop into pleasant rituals that enrich a child's life and create fond memories.

How about a hug?
Don't just tell your child you love him – show him. Research indicates that young children deprived of physical touch and displays of affection often fail to thrive. As children grow older, they vary in the ways they like us to show affection. Some love to be cuddled, while others prefer a quick hug or pat on the shoulder. It's important to be aware of what your child enjoys most at a particular age.
Please. After all these years, "please" is still a classic. When you ask a favor of anyone – including children – this "magic word" acknowledges that you are asking for a behavior that will help you and/or make you happy. (P.S.: Don't forget to say "thank you" when the job is done.)

Good job!
Good for you. Self-respect and self-confidence grow when your child's efforts and performance are rewarded. Whenever possible, give your child lots of praise. Be sure your praise is honest and specific. Focus on your child's efforts and progress, and help her identify her strengths.

It's time to... "It's time to get ready for bed," or "do homework," or "turn off the TV." Young children need structure in their daily lives to provide a measure of security in an often insecure world. It is up to you as a parent to establish and maintain a workable schedule of activities, always remembering that children benefit from regular mealtimes and bedtimes.

I love you.
Everyone needs love and affection and a feeling of acceptance and belonging. We can't assume that children know and understand our love for them unless we tell them. Letting your child know that you love him (and showing him with countless hugs) is important not only in toddlerhood, but also as he gets older.

when the oil price rises(more money to embezzle) its no news, when it drops, it is news..

FG should just look into other sector for revenue generation, our Government should seize this opportunity to promote other sector and diversify instead of the plan to spend the money in the Excess Crude Account(ECA)

Okonjo wake up and stop creating avenues for embezzlement.
