I also read that women with bigger butts give birth to smart kids..

I think I've heard this but haven't verified it yet

Bbqekpa:
My neighbors 2 year old is like that. My own son is a year old and I pray he's smart cos I no know book 0 but d mom is very smart

Most likely going to be smart , intelligence is actually passed from mother to child.

Hello friends, my daughter is very far ahead of her peers (class mates and outsiders) academically and otherwise. She started school when she was 2yrs. 3wks in school she had already knw how to write 1 to 10, A to F (I mean write not just to read).

Now she is 3yrs and she does things extraordinary. She can write 1 to 200, Aa to Zz without anybody assistance. She does her H/W alone, can read and spell two letter words. She sings a lot. I wanted her to play at least one musical instrument b4 she turns 5.

Two yrs ago, I had this vision of grooming "exceptionally intelligent" kids btw 9-12yrs to study outside their normal school curriculum. I mean a 9yr old kid in JS1 answering physics and advance maths question. Am still working on it. But my child is just 3yrs old and i am begining to be afraid. Married with two kids, an average of 30k monthly income as a private school teacher, I think, I lack the financial resources to push my daughter to where she deserves.

I need proper advice on how to guide her now.

She's very intelligent but I doubt she's a genius , you can do an IQ test for her and see how she fares , if she scores above 140 then she's a genius , if not then she isn't.

About how to guide her , I think you can start with games , yes you heard right , games stimulate that intelligence in children. Start her off with , Scrabble , chess , rubik cube ( beginner , rubik , expert and professor ) and other games in that category. Get her books , books and a lot of books ( educational ones ).

As if any of u have never camped a girl in your parents house. I repeat, unless they’re disturbing with ringtone or loud music, or he brings a different girl every now and then, free them. Just because he does t have a house doesn’t mean he can’t have a female companion.

U should be thankful it’s just one girl he’s snicking in.

You are unwise

starbuck:
When i read the news, i was really ashamed of him for demanding 14k bride price as a refund

It's not the worth of the money but the significance of the bride price , if it's even 25 naira he will demand for it back , it shows he is no longer responsible for her

Trumann:
You have the IQ of a tadpole

Please don't insult tadpoles

Iyaebe:
He should return all the sex he had with her too,after that then she will in turn return the bride price.Its that simple.

That's no problem , he'll just go back , lay on the bed and the wife can fvck him back. Afterwards she returns his bride price

icecool12:
As long as they’re not disturbing u with ringtone at night, let them be..

Let the son get his own apartment , he can't live their own house with his own rules. If he gets his own apartment the parents have no say to whom he invites there

Unruly7:
How you portray the girl evil without saying anything bad about your son lol

If the girl is a chain smoker it means your son is a chronic smoker

If the girl is a prostitute it means your son is one

If the girl is not responsible for sleeping in a man house, your son is irresponsible for sneaking in a girl in his father's house VERY DISRESPECTFUL

Atleast the girl is working your son isn't working

The problem here is your son maybe you help him get a job and his own apartment

Since he has decided to be useless let him continue



Before you quote me remember The girl won't come to the house if the boy didn't invite her

Exactly! We are quick to demonize other people's children but believe our own children are saints

Bewiseedet:
Mind your business. Your son is matured enough to chose who to love. Isn't it better you try to know the lady better than just portray her as a prostitute?

But she's minding her own business , the house belongs to her and her husband so if you want to live there you have to abide by their rules even if you are a child. If the boy wants that kind of freedom he should get his own place , she isn't against that.

wisemum:
I am bringing this topic here to see if I can get any good advise from youths of the same generation.

My son returned from schooling abroad two years ago and after completing his NYSC, has been trying to get a job. None has been forthcoming but he tries to keep occupied, trying his hands on different projects. He still lives at home but says that once he is financially stable, he will get his own apartment and move out.

He is generally a calm, law abiding , likeable gentleman until when he recently started bringing home this girl who dresses like a prostitute and who I discovered stays overnight in his room with him. His dad and I have fought him over this subject to no avail. I confronted the girl to tell her I do not feel comfortable with her sleeping overnight in my house especially since I do not know her family and will be held responsible if anything happens to her. She apologized to me and promised not to come to sleep over again. However, I noticed that after that, he started sneaking her in at late hours of the night when he thinks we have gone to bed, sometimes when it is past midnight. He hasn't introduced the girl to us as anything to him even though I have asked him several times what his intentions with this girl is but he will just say she is a friend that makes him happy- that's all.

He told his uncle that he likes the girl. I don't even know what else to do. I have tried talking to him, reasoning with him, but it all falls on his deaf ears. I do not like this girl at all. She comes across to me as a street girl- even though she is generally polite when she meets me at home anytime she comes during the day. I investigated and found out her work place is not far from our house. What I do not like about her is that she dresses, exposing delicate parts of her body and is a chain smoker.

Furthermore, to me, a girl who sleeps out in a mans' parent house, continually disregarding how his parents feel about it, cannot be good news. Once, I caught her almost naked in the night walking along the corridor leading to my sons room. She ran inside his room when she saw me. I was so embarrassed and wondered what if my husband had been the one who ran into her? What kind of thing is this? Only her pant on, breasts bare. It was the following day I traced her to her work place and gently but sharply and firmly told her I do not permit her to sleep over in my house again. His dad also spoke with him. I also spoke to him. Everything has been to no avail.

He still sneaks her in. Or did she jazz him?, Please advise me. Thanks.

Your son is the irresponsible one , I see how you make it seem he's a nice boy and may have been polluted by this girl. The truth is your son is no better than this girl , you don't mention how your son is allowing her stay over and disregarding yours and your husband's command but quick to mention how a girl can sleep in the house of her boyfriend's parent.

obembet:
Has your mum ever priced something in your presence and you start to pity the seller?

See some hilarious comments here and share your experience

My mum doesn't price that much , she's just an average "pricer" , she can price from 10k to 7k and pay but you see my aunty , that woman can price. I once went with her to the market and the seller started with a price of 1500 and my aunt just said " shey ko gba 200 ni ?" , I first took a step back thinking the man may suddenly attack us , how do you go from 1500 to 200 , that woman is heartless

sonofElElyon:
So you believe Ruiz has a chance to defeat Fury... Absolutely impossible... Did you watch Ruiz' last fight which happened not long ago? Nothing impressive about it. He won simply because he hit his opponent's shoulder which affected his ability to throw punches at Ruiz.
Fury would beat Ruiz and it won't go the distance.
Joshua can't stand toe to toe with a brawler and slug it out which is why he kept running away from Ruiz. Fury is a brawler and his long reach is a huge advantage.. he also hits hard. Mark my words.. all things being equal, Fury will unify all the heavyweight belts.. but only if he stays focused and disciplined

I'll say it again , if he attempts to brawl with Ruiz he'll lose , his chance to win him is to shave points off him with his reach , Fury doesn't have the stamina , endurance and strength to brawl with Ruiz

MaxInDHouse:
Certainly!
That's what we meant when we call something "SIN" it's got nothing to do with unbelievers like you. We are talking to ourselves!
For instance, sex between two unmarried adults is not a crime in the human society but in the congregation it's SIN!
So we aren't setting standards for you that's not within our standard only applies to those within! 1Corinthians 5:13

Sin is mainly a religious construct , although some sins may be seen as being bad or even illegal ( all 3 are actually distinct and not the same )

LordReed:
The cars we drive everyday are causing harm to us and the people around us as they constantly emit gases that are deleterious to our collective health yet I don't see you condemning them as sin.

The point with all this is to establish to you folk that your sin parameters are just an arbitrary concept you make up as you go for the things you want or don't want, stop fooling yourself that a god has anything to do with it. Nobody is gonna condemn you for stating you don't like smoking. I myself don't like smoking, inhaling the smoke literally makes me sick but I will not condemn someone for making his own choice to smoke, that's his business. I will maintain sufficient distance from such a person while they do it and return to close contact after, it's that simple.

With this critique , most things would not be considered sin

sonofElElyon:
Tyson Fury has the height, the reach, the skills, the power, sufficient stamina, determination, raw strength, strong chin, big heart..

Would definitely beat Joshua and Usyk comfortably.. most likely a knock out

Power and raw strenght
Strong chin - the only reference to a strong chin is because he got up from a hit from Wilder who has been labelled wrongly as the hardest hitter of this generation , Wilders punch is measured at 927 while Ruiz is measured at 967 ( or something in that range ). I put it to you that if Fury had received the same punch AJ got from Ruiz he would have been out cold.
Talking about stamina , Ruiz has much more stamina than Fury , he hardly gets knocked down and if he does he isn't even flustered , look at his second fight with AJ and you'll see just how hard it is for AJ to knock him down even with a cut to the upper eyelid.
Determination and heart I may not argue that
Skillwise , I'll say he has sufficient skill to see him through with most fighters in this era

Overall I won't tip him totally to beat AJ but it could swing either way , for Ruiz , I still maintain that his only chance of beating him is to adopt the same tactic AJ used in his second fight against Ruiz - jab and run. Ruiz is a tough nut to crack and people usually underrate him

Jig5aw:
The Color of their skin or where they come from has nothing to do with it. Their opponents were just better

More so , Efe Ajagba was beaten by a black dude too , so one way or another a black man would have still lost in their encounter

Gullah:
What a fight!! Very exciting from beginning to the end. One thing is clear though, Anthony Joshua will have his head taken off any day he steps in the ring with either of these two guys

Even with Wilder who can't box to save his life , abed talk onoda thing

rolams:
Somebody spent his money in court to get himself beaten!

Fury is a good and great boxer.

Good - yes , great - not so much

paulolee:
this wilder na overrated scam....I remember hyping this wilder get after looking his fights, seeing him knockdown opponent easily with his strong jab..
remember hearing his online fans saying dt no man on earth can survive wilder strong jab bcox it weighs the strongest..
I even swear say e go beat Aj n fury n bcom the greatest boxer ever because he made his winning so easy with many knockdowns...
but fury said he would beat him n Aj n he proved it again last nite.
wilder n Aj cnt last long n dey both lacked stamina n dts fury edge over them..

Even Fury is a scam just wait and see how he fares with other fighters , no be so dem take talk about Wilder wey you gawk am

MayorWhales:
What a fight, Fury no be anybody mate for this boxing abeg, but i give it to Wilder for knocking him twice in the 4th round, never expected him to knock Fury out but quite uneasy for him to keep up and letting Fury pouncing on him. Make Una check Wilder left socket o

Both of them are scams , shebi they will stop fighting each other now and face other heavyweights , let's see how that turns up

salford:
AJ vs Ruiz was a delight to watch. I remember the 12th round when Ruiz was calling AJ to come to the centre of the ring and brawl with him. if AJ tries to brawl with him in that rematch, he would get beat by Ruiz again.

Definitely

bigcee:
Really? ... Guy, stick to other sports, abeg. Leave boxing alone.

You should probably stick to Ayo olopon or ludo since you know nothing about contact sport

OneTemplate:
Ruiz let himself go and was not really motivated or well-prepared. Apparently he had been Partying from when he beat AJ to when he fought him in the rematch lol.

Ruiz will beat both Fury and Wilder unless they use the tactic ( run and jab ) AJ used in their second encounter. Ruiz has a stronger punch than Wilder and has incredible stamina to boot. No way either of these guys will beat him unless they shave points off him

crackhouse:
What do u mean?

More like an ethical hacker

free2ryhme:
will sacking rohr solve the problem

That's the first step to take , someone who is technically deficient , why keep him on when he has nothing to offer

FlipModeSquade:
Never liked Sunday Oliseh as a player..

Hated him as a Coach..

But on this one..

Any Coach that can open his mouth..
