When I was a child, my mum told me those who smoke had their brains burnt that I shouldn't try it, that's how I grew with that mentality. When I became adult, I discovered smokers were liable to die young which wasn't far from the truth my mum told me as a child. So till date, I haven't tasted cigarettes or anything smoking before. Men and brethren praise the Lord |

Jennyclay:YES I CAN SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR first Two ~ CAREER /partially and BUSINESS AND NOT IN RELATIONSHIP LIKE YOU POSITED because HEARTBREAK IS REAL ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR PARTNER GETS TO FIND OUT AS A FEMALE THAT YOU ARE IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE INTERPRETED OTHERWISE FOR LACK OF TRUST AND TRUE LOVE & AFFECTION FROM YOU OFCOURSE THE ABOVE ASSERTION IS VERY TRUE FOR IF A FEMALE DOUBLE DATES, THEN ONE WOULD BE SEEN AS A MAGGA FOR ATM FINANCE WHILE THE OTHER IS THE REAL LOVE AND WHAT FOOLISH MAN/MEN OF NOWADAYS WOULD BE SPENDING LAVISHLY ON A LADY WITHOUT DEMANDING HER BODY IN RETURN? WORST STILL IS THE FACT THAT FORNICATION AND ADULTARY HAVE BOTH BEEN OUTLAWED OR ABOLISH WHICH MEANS NO MORE ASHAWO WORK OR HOOK UP GEN-ZEEING AGAIN |

If you tell the truth, even your parents will often use it against you anytime issues comes up tomorrow, not to talk of your wife, brother or friends. |

There is a saying in Yoruba that àiìní ōwó ko pani loruko da, Mr ni won ni fi si oruko e.. meaning not having money doesn't change your name, only title that will not be added to it..so I learn to stay where I was appreciated, irrespective of me having money or not..and I always do away with monetize relationship Chilipepper: |

Myrrhis:No... Not me. As I even hardly ask anyone for help and if anyone offers such, I value it. But surprise, I've helped quite a few ungrateful wereys. So I know some humans get bad character... |

itumafriday:The Jesus Christ of Israel who said that only said that He was sent to offer this truth only to the bloodline of Jacob, the man who was named Israel by HIs father. So, for you to claim this story is true for you is also for you to claim you are not blood descended from your Nigerian ancestors but from the man named Jacob. Is this the case? ![]() |

TheWebbers:IT was not the alcohol that ruined your father, but his lack of discipline or possibly mental illness that propelled him into ruin. You know this from the fact that there are lots of people out there who enjoy alcohol regularly and are not ruined by it. P.S. There's alcohol in a lot of the foods that we consume regularly. ⚉ Fruits Ripe and very ripe bananas: The fermentation process can lead to an alcohol content of up to(0.4%) ABV.Other fruits: Ripe fruits like grapes, cherries, pears, and pineapples can also develop trace amounts of alcohol as they ripen. |

That your siblings are NOT real brothers and sisters in essence. You will realise that parents are the glue that holds sibling's unity, and when parents get older or passes away, then it becomes clear that the so called unity/love was not deep, and sadly, not there. They say blood is thicker than water, but you will experience love from strangers that makes you conclude that ''love is thicker than blood''. Anyone that loves you becomes your family, and you can find family from total strangers and even your spouse, after all, the family you create is more important than the family you came out from. This might not be your reality, and thank God for that, but if you look around, you will see many families that fits this description, and it is a tragedy. |

pansophist:If that is your reality, I want to believe you did your own part, because when it comes to peace and unity, everyone has a part to play. They don't just happen. {Although, for some people, It is easier to blame and complain} Sometimes, even siblings unite themselves more than their parents ever could. |
| Re: What’s One Lesson You Learned As A Child That Still Guides Your Life Today? by fattprince(m): 5:51pm On Nov 29, 2025 |
pansophist:This definitely isn't my reality and I always thank God for that. My even extends to extended family. They always try their best possible to be there for ourselves. |
| Re: What’s One Lesson You Learned As A Child That Still Guides Your Life Today? by fattprince(m): 5:56pm On Nov 29, 2025 |
Myrrhis:Exactly, like when my younger siblings are quarrelling, I allow them to bear out their grievances and say out their anger before I now pacify them and why I allow them is because I know no matter what they say to each other, it always end there. The don't keep any malicious intent so I allow them so as to diffuse any tension and not carry it in their mind. |
| Re: What’s One Lesson You Learned As A Child That Still Guides Your Life Today? by pansophist(m): 6:27pm On Nov 29, 2025 |
Myrrhis:It is not my reality, but it’s a thing out there. I know so many families that are like cats and rats to each other, it’s so sad. A former neighbour had an accident that almost amputated his legs, but his brother doing yahoo didn’t care. He has money but didn’t help his older brother who is sick. It was friends and extended families that rallied around to pay his hospital bills. I wonder what kind of animosity they have to make him not help or care. |
