Continue doing the bit you can handle and don't beat yourself to the point where you'd start goofing around like some charity case, begging for acceptance. Lest, you become undesirable, even to that fiance of yours, trust me. 1 Like |

Truvelisback: Is English your first language? Lemme try again; I'm saying-- Faith is an umbrella term for Blind Faith and Reasoned/Informed Faith...End of. From my human perspective, of course. Capeesh? It is exactly as I have said it...Don't nitpick to make conversation or try to find imagined slights or connotations that are nonexistent. |

Workch: I don't know it all, but I very much doubt that Abraham would have agreed to go ahead and sacrifice his son, if he had been asked to, by just any body. Neither would the most of us. Believable stories told of God by his antecessors, outside documented and undocumented personal encounters with God, most certainly have had something to do with his compliance. |

Ohooo..ntoin to all of you. That's what you get when you give a show, more hype than is due it. I could barely catch the news on national security and other real issues, because even people that were still running around on panties, back when it ran its first course, wouldn't let me drink water with their give us GUS, give us GUS...as though Chuck Noris would make a comeback in it. I'm glad all your eyes have cleared now and just maybe, you'd discontinue being intentional about drying up other people's brain juice with your boring updates. 4 Likes |
Education / Re: Ogume Grammar School Delta Shuts Down, Female Student Murdered In Cult Clash by Rocktation(f): 9:52am On Oct 22, 2021 |
Misinformation. Somewhere somehow, cultists entered the matter sha, but the girl dying, was not a consequence for burning down the school. Rather, it's the other way round. She and her boyfriends (cultists maybe) were being chased by vigilantes, who were summoned by the school principal, after they'd beaten up a teacher who'd asked her to return home to change her uniform to sportswear. Burning down the school was a reprisal after she'd ran into a ditch and drowned. Very very wrong narrative. |

Education / Re: Cost Of Having Phd Degree In Nigeria by Rocktation(f): 2:46pm On Oct 18, 2021 |
Spherical77: Not necessarily... There are so many schools in just the US alone before even reasoning others. You just have to research which one is combinable with the first degree. GRE/GMAT score kind of matters more. I knew someone with a strong 2:1 (4points) and 320 GRE that only got partial funding -prolly because of impatience. And I also know one that had a first cgpa of 2.8 and a GRE of 290 that got fully funded. Just research research research. Interestingly again, some courses are even given GRE waiver in some schools. I didn't use to put mouth in all these kinds of mata before, but it really vexes me by the day, when I see people doing yama yama, just because they don't have access to quality information. 2 Likes |

Religion / Are We Expected To Exercise Blind Faith? by Rocktation(f): 10:34am On Oct 17, 2021 |
To act purely on faith is good. But you know what I find to be even more interesting? To act on testmonies. In some sense, I could well be talking about the same thing. Simply put, the matter of faith goes deeper. Faith could be blind on the one hand and on another, reasoned and informed. It suddenly occurred to me that the most of us, like to think that we do the blind faith thingy more often than the latter. But I hereby rain on your parade, as you really do not.... Ndo. BUT what then is it, that uplifts this notion that our faith as Christians, really ought to be blind, without true understanding? Abraham, who the bible references more than once and is one of the most obvious embodiments of faith, due to his pliancy when it came to sacrificing his dear Isaac, followed God’s order, using his powers of reason- not blind faith. Based on what he knew of God, he thought things through. He knew God’s nature as a faithful God and remembers God’s promise to raise up a nation through Isaac. Now, Isaac could very well be brought back from the dead to fulfill God's word, no? Abraham knew God could do that and so acted accordingly-- on a reasoned and informed faith. Owning the ability to think and reason is not something to fear or remove yourself from. It is after all a gift that is both God given and affirmed by St. Paul, who encouraged us to ask God for wisdom which "He gives generously to all without finding fault". IMO, it can even be offensive then, if not put to use. We might not always be opportune to see crystal clearly, the grand scheme of things and might be expected to roll with the tide, exercising faith, but that doesn't always mean it is blind. For we do that from a position of trust, based on all the knowledge we have of God that has been conveyed to us by teachers, personal and others' testimonies or experience series. 2 Likes |

Nobody knows you, indeed!

Education / Re: World Teacher's Day: Make A Reference To A Teacher That Redefined Your Life by Rocktation(f): 1:01am On Oct 06, 2021 |
Nana Ko Bediako II...my Ghanian primary six teacher. He taught me a guiding mathematical principle that stayed with me throughout the remaining years of my formal learning and even till tomorrow sef, I still apply it to practice. The principle is ---> "Will it be more or less? If less, more device. If more, less device". Lol. Sample question; Mr Franco dedicates his salary of N40k to hosting monthly town's meetings. How much would he need to spend in March and August, if he then decides to use only a quarter of his salary, after a 20% pay raise? Solution: 40k= 100% 20% increase= 120% (I must speak this English in my head); If 100%=40000 Therefore 120%, would it be more or less? It would be more, if more, less device! 40000÷1 ×120÷100 Answer ÷ 4 = Semi final answer Semi final answer × 2= Final answer Our Further Maths teacher once flogged the entire SS2 Science class for not being able to answer a number 1 simple interest question correctly. Including me. Only for him to start solving on the board, solved from up to down, cleaned it after giving people time to copy into their books, continued at the top again just to get the answer I got in just four lines. And I was like, 'Hey dude, so why did you flog me nauuuuu? I got that same answer." And he was like, "What are you talking about, did you even attempt it? Lemme see your book". He'd completely missed it, because he didn't expect anyone to answer correctly and he was cane-happy. He stared forever at my solution, hanging his head low in shame until the sound of the bell released him. But the big head had already flogged me. God bless Nana Ko Bediako jare. Wherever he is now. I've tried to connect with him so many times on social media platforms- Facebook, LinkedIn.., but that name never comes up on search results. He could even be dead for all I know. Bless him, wherever he is. 1 Like |

Haryhomyidhey: Hopefully, there won't be a next time, but it is safer to have stayed in your car, than stepping out of it in that situation. Unless there's a fire, NEVER get out of a car with a power line on top of or close to it. Even at that, you'd have to hop out of it. There are YouTube videos to teach you this.
