Kukutenla: But Jesus gave a targetinstructions of preaching the gospel throughout all the earth. Or is that not a target? If we're doing only what Jesus says, I saw a post you made about predestined children, when did Jesus ever make such statements? So, you're actuality doing what you accused others of. Also in Matt 7vs 1, Jesus said judge not, while you just judged Christ embassy as worldly. You set a standard you can't keep
Check your dictionary for the meaning of TARGET. Jesus gave INSTRUCTIONS to believers to win souls. No particular no is attached to it
Nsogbu001: No one knows what's going to happen to him or her . Before you step out of your house, pray against principalities and powers. The devil is roaring like a hungry lion. Prayer is the only way you can conquer it. Donot mind all the so called atheist.
So people that are dead didn't pray before they left their houses. Just thank God that you're alive. Those that are dead probably prayed more than you. No be by who pray pass
Please i put up this post basically because of my elder brother. I sincerely want to know if i was wrong talking to him, or I could have just let him be. I wasn't myself ever since i talked to him, and i was somewhat having guilty conscience since then.
I have an elder brother, he's 38 years old and also the first son. I am the fourth child in the family of five. The second child is a female and she's married. We lost our third child, that's my immediate elder brother some years back, while i have a younger brother. I came from a humble background. Lost my dad while i was in JS 3, even before his death we had been hustling on a daily basis for survival, and we live happily as one big family. My mother, siblings and i do hawk daily before we could eat. All thanks to public school in Lagos, my family wouldn't have had the opportunity to basic education. We hawk daily after school, weekdays and weekend. My family was bred and brought up in Ajegunle.
Few years after the demise of my father, we struggled to pay house rent. We had to leave Ajegunle to a local and developing area. I didn't allow my family conditions deter or weigh me down. Never! I believe I'd make it in life legitimately without venturing into crime, fraud, theft etc. After my secondary school, i was into all sorts of labour work. I worked in factory, building site, cleared bushes, laundry man , just to save up and further my education. I worked for 6 years after my secondary school, bought a bike from the little savings i had and proceed to school through jamb. I gave the bike to someone who often deliver #6,000 weekly for the upkeep of my family. I was in year 2 when i let go of the bike, it was on a higher purchase and the agreement we have had elapsed. I hustled my way through school and graduated. I'm done with service last year but couldn't land a job, probably due to my age. I'd be 29 this year and most graduate trainee often request for age below 28. Although, i had a 2.1. I'm only managing in a pure water factory to make ends meet, keep soul and body together and support my family
I sat my elder brother down and talked to him. He has been hustling like every other person in the family but i don't understand what's happening. He didn't futher his education nor learn a handwork. He's 38 but still live under his parents roof. He has been doing conductor work for many years. The family had talked to him several times to look for something else. It's fine you are hustling as a man for survival but doing conductor for many years without thinking of what else to do is wrong. A family friend of ours who later got to know what he does for a living had advice him also.
The bus he was following, the driver had misunderstanding with the owner and he collected his bus back. My elder brother had been idle for months, doing nothing. He claimed he has gone virtually everywhere in search of bus he could be working with but couldn't get any. This is a family that we all had to bring something no matter how little to survive. I was talking to him as a younger brother. I asked him why didn't he heed to people's advice when they were advising him then to stop the conductor work and look for something to learn, if perhaps he doesn't want to further his education? He doesn't believe in Nigeria education, because he could count graduates without job or those with petty job. My elder brother wear almost rag as clothes. I had to give him some of my little wears I'm managing. He has just one slippers. We don't wear same size of shoe or sandals, we could have been sharing that also. He sold his phone to feed sometime ago and had been without phone. I was initially saving to get my mum a small phone but i had to give him the phone instead.
He was crying when i was talking to him. I understand the situation of things in the country, which i myself is going through. I was just trying to know what other things he could come up with. I am not happy seeing him sitting idle doing nothing. The fact that he's the first son and found himself in this condition at that age breaks my heart daily. My mum had been so worried about his condition. I had to convince her that things will be better. I don't want her to develop high Blood Pressure that could lead to her untimely death.
Please guys was i wrong talking to my elder brother?
Your brother needs to be drag or push. You have to take him along to where he will get work. Talking to him isn't enough, he needs serious dragging

victorVIC1: I have a male kid that is about 3 years old and I recently observed that a particular kid in the compound that is 2 months older than him always attempt to bully him at sight.
The few times this have happened in my presence, I restrained my son from retaliating cos the boy in question is autistic. Though my wife also informed me, there was a day my son fought back and the boy stopped his bullying attempt for a while afterwards.
This morning my son was about to leave for school. Immediately he came out of the apartment, the boy ran towards him and hit him. Once more, I stopped my son from hitting him back but this time his mum (my neighbour) experienced the scenario and only made a remark to the boy to stop looking for trouble. I felt she made the remark just to create an impression that she was concerned.
I've been feeling so uneasy about this since morning and this is obviously a bullying case and I'm subtly training my kid to tolerate it. Hence, I've concluded that the next time such will happen, I will ask my boy to fight back.
Just to have your opinion on this matter, is fighting back the best approach in this situation putting into consideration the health condition of the bully ?
Autistic child is vulnerable. It's a shame that a parent will encourage his child to go into such fight
Xerona: Hello Nairalanders, there is an issue at hand. I have two kids and recently gave birth to the third few months ago. It's been really difficult for me since I practically do most of the house chores... my husband is hardly around because of work.
I came down with this strange disturbing headache that doesnt go away. So I went to see a doctor and she said the headache was as a result of postpartum stress and lack of sleep.
The truth is I'm awake most of the time because of the baby or when I'm attending to other household matter. I haven't had a good sleep in a long while. So when the doctor suggested I get a house help so I can find time and sleep when shes holding the baby. I knew she she was on point. But the problem is my husband, he wouldn't hear of it, he doesn't want us to get any househelp...
I even pleaded with him and made him see reasons why I needed help, but he refused... I'm beginning to think I ended up with the wrong person because I dont understand why anyone would deliberately want to subject their wife to this kind of torture.
My kids are age 5, 2 and 3 months... I go to the market, cook, clean, i even do school run too...He's a contractor and will be travelling back to work next week.. yet he doesn't want me to get help...
Why not ask for the reason he's rejecting your opinion. Seems Oga is trying to avoid temptation. Get a male maid instead
1. Don't call someone more than twice continuously. If they don't pick up your call that mean they have something more important to attend to.
2. When your fellow colleague/ classmate/ team-mate gets shouted at please don't stare at them. It makes the moment twice awkward.
3. When someone drops something on the floor by mistake or drops food from the plate or doesn't know how to use a knife/fork don't stare at them. The same goes to people sneezing, coughing or even an uncontrollable fart. It's an involuntary reaction.
4. Always skip using the restroom beside the occupied one. It makes it uneasy for the person in the occupied restroom as well as yourself if you occupy the one right next to theirs.
5. Return money that you have borrowed even before the other person remembers lending it to you. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens etc
6. Never order the expensive food or drink on the menu when someone is treating you for lunch/dinner. If possible ask them to order their choice of food for you.
7. Don't ask awkward questions like‘Why aren't you married?’ Or ‘Don't you have kids’ or ‘Why didn't you buy a car?’ For god's sake it isn't your problem.
8. When someone makes a wrong investment and loses their money, don't add fuel to the flames by saying‘I knew this would happen. You should have listened to me. Don't make failure seem worse for anyone.
9. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. Doesn't matter if it is a guy or a girl. You don't grow small by treating someone well in public.
10. Wear ear phones when traveling on a bus. Don't make others taste your choice of good/bad music.
The most important one! Don't swipe left or right when someone hands over their phone to you for viewing the picture. And also don't browse through their messages and call log list. Thanks https://www.quora.com

concho: When I took over as a director in our company , I noticed that the company’s Secretary is a chronic liar
Most excuses she gives to avoid coming to work always seem like lies to me . But I couldn’t confront her since I don’t have proves .
Today her mum is very sick, tomorrow her dad is about dying .
I also noticed that she doesn’t do her jobs ( financial recordings ) . She is always sleeping at work and says she is sick when confronted .
We started looking for replacements , but I noticed also that she discourages everyone that wants to work .
On Thursday, she said her dad was dead and would be Buried on Saturday . I granted her a leave between Thursday and Saturday and I conclude that I must find her village and attend the burial without telling her .
On getting to her village , I discovered that there was no burial and the parents she constantly used as excuse died years ago
I sent her video I made in her village only for her to tell me that she won’t come to work again .
She handed nothing over to the company . She didn’t provide details of the transactions she did in the previous weeks .
I asked her details of the companies transactions during the Naira scarcity , she refused to come bring these things .
This resignation would take us one year backwards in other to sort her stuffs out. She handed over to no one
If I let her go free , other workers would emulate her .
How do I start nailing her please ??
Arrest the mofo She should be at least be accountable
Draslo: Simply because society has shown her that if a man does not smoke or drink, he must womanize. Truth is most men will womanize regardless of their vices. You can find a man who neither drinks, smokes or doesn't even womanize but is secretly a serial killer with a white collar job.
betshopagent: read what I wrote again . city-- yes but not against Chelsea n Liverpool. And if you know football you would know that Madrid is never an underdog in ucl
Don't mind the guy, how can a defending champion be an underdog in a competition that at least 6 of the starting 11 have won 4 times
