There's nothing a wife can do that a girlfriend or babymama cannot do.

When you are suffering from a chronic medical condition like stroke, who is more likely to stay with you at the hospital? Your girlfriend or your wife?

HilcomTech:
Should you even be told that those don't exists?

As a matter of fact, they do. It seems you don't live in Nigeria

HilcomTech:
Stop being an ignoramnus.
Titles like Engr, Dr., Architecture, Barristers and military ranks are official.

I agree with you. But what about titles like Pharmacist, Surveyor, Builder, Nurse and the likes. And what about all the half-baked technicians who are parading themselves as Engineers?

zikter:
I think the appropriate heading should be professional title and not job title

Noted. Thanks

I see that a lot of people take pride in addressing or introducing themselves using their job titles, for example like Pharmacist John, Nurse Grace, Builder Idris, Architect Biodun, Barrister Okoye etc, instead of just Mr. X or Mrs. Y. The most annoying is the ubiquitous title Engr. used by every tom, dick and harry who knows just a little about a certain technical vocation.

When I compare this to what obtains abroad (Europe and America) I notice that the only common job titles in use over there are Dr. and Prof. I've seen a full American professor address himself simply as Dr. (something that will never happen in Nigeria). And they are supposed to have more technical know-how than us, right? Yet they don't flaunt their job titles. So why is our own different?

HellVictorinho:
You don't choose to be happy or not.


It just happens when you just get exposed to things that just exist.


If you say you choose to be happy,then you are wrong.
If you say you choose to be sad,then you are wrong.

That's the way I see it too

HellVictorinho:
Happiness is not a choice.

Can you please explain

Thanks everyone for your contributions

IS HAPPINESS A CHOICE?

I have heard some people say that happiness is a choice. But how true and accurate is that statement?

I am asking because I think that happiness is a form of an emotion like sadness, anger and fear that are largely determined by circumstances.

Saying that happiness is a choice is making it seem like we have a control panel in our mind with which we are supposed to use to decide whether to be happy or not.

What are your thoughts on this?

The Wicked runneth when no man pursues him.
The Righteous are as bold as a Lion.

My Source of Joy is that GOD ALMIGHTY is in Total Control..

Do you have evidence to prove your claims? Can you prove that the election was fraudulent or are you just being uncontrollably emotional?

You started with a good question but ended with a senseless statement

Islamic human rights group, Muslim Rights Concern, MURIC, has blamed those it described as fifth columnists for the crisis currently rocking various states in the country.

The #EndSARS protests turned bloody on Tuesday night after security agents opened fire at peaceful protesters at Lekki Toll Gate, Lagos State.

This led to destruction of properties and loss of lives, particularly in Lagos.

Many well-meaning individuals and organisations have since condemned the government decision to use force on the protesters and also appealed to the youths to allow peace to reign.


And MURIC, in a statement issued to DAILY POST on Thursday, signed by its Director, Professor Ishaq Akintola, appealed for calm.

While hailing the young Nigerians for demanding an end to police brutality, the Islamic rights group pleaded with them to step back to allow the government to actualize their demands.

“They [Nigerian youth] showed ingenuity in the coordination of the welfare of fellow protesters thereby lending credence to the ‘not too young to rule’ mantra.

“However, we are saddened by the carnage which attended the protests in the last 48 hours. The level of destruction and its geographical locations convince us that it was not the handiwork of the youths who started the demonstrations.

“There are also strong indications that the attacks on prisons where hardened criminals were set free was not carried out by our young ones. Neither was it part of their plan.

“Fifth columnists have infiltrated the rank and file of the protesters. The Lagos scenario is another cup of tea entirely. We are inclined to believe that the only logical explanation for the carnage in Lagos is the involvement of non-indigenes.”

The group noted that the targeted places for the attack showed an inordinate desire for a pound of flesh.

According to MURIC, the attacks on palace of the Oba of Lagos, TVC, The Nation newspaper, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s mother’s house, may have been a “combination of deliberate misquotation and political motivation. We condemn this wanton destruction.”

A final year student of the Federal College of Education in Pankshin, Plateau State, has died after being struck by thunder, shortly after leaving the exam hall on Monday.

He was struck by lightning not by thunder. Thunder does not kill but lightning does.

easyhacq:
I didn't say any negative thing about him, so why are you ranting. Saying Saraki is nobody 'today' doesn't mean he can't be at the forefront of political scene tomorrow.

Abeg read well before you comment next time.

After saying he is a goner and a nobody? Next time think twice before making a comment
