ojkaikai: Turning in ever widening gear, the sexual dispute between Bianca Ojukwu and Femi Fani Kayode has become the case of a proverbial falcon that can no longer hear the falconer. As they both deploy canister of verbal explosive at each other while the case awaits hearing in court.

I slept with you! No you didn’t! I imagine this debate between two prominence Nigerian in a court, but I pity the judge whose burden it will be to serve as referee in the case. who is going to loose? Bianca of course, since she is suing, the case will be on Femi to prove his case beyond reasonable doubt, and reasonable doubt here might include the woman revealing her unclothednesswww.primewriters.

sauer: I totally agree with poshdiva's and uj_sizzle's comments.
I never consider it important to reply some messages, especially those which simply share warm greetings. What's there to reply? "A thank you"? maybe. But really, these messages are in fact unimportant and basically require no response.
In the same vien, I wouldn't consider it rude or wrong if I don't get any response for these same messages should I send them out. I never do though. To me, Wishes on christmas or any other days are best said verbally.

Serendipity: I was stupefied upon learning that the Arik Airline stowaway, Daniel Oikhena had been offered scholarship by a group in Osun State.
=
The idea of offering a scholarship to such a lad is unacceptable and grim, as this might serve as a catalyst for other teenagers to engage in such unguided acts.
-
The group that gave the scholarship has just exhibited crass insensitivity to what it means to be socially responsible.
-
It would have been a different kettle of fish if the scholarship had been by an individual and bereft of publicity.

-
Why should he be offered a scholarship?
How many indigent, obedient and intelligent students has this smug group offered scholarship?
-
The group are unwittingly brooking and abetting truancy and recalcitrancy.

=
I opine that the lad should have been reunited with the family and probably helped to know what incited him to engage in such a fatal act. (HE could have died). Equally the security personnel on duty should also be sacked for dereliction of duty.

uceee: That may be true. You do not have to go out of your way to learn how to bake. But if you find yourself with a baker who is willing to teach you, and you have the time to learn (perhaps you are on holiday). Should you not learn how to bake instead of going to watch a boring movie or sleep? You may never make money from baking, but you could earn someones regard, admiration with your baking skills. For you, baking cakes is a skill worth having as far as there is a chance you may need it (though its infinitesimal). Imagine this scenario: You have organised an event for the staff in the company you work. For some reason, the cake is supposed to be baked there (you may want to avoid transporting it, or want it eaten while its still warm). Everything is set, but the baker has been delayed (maybe traffic). You could simply start the baking, so that the baker can finish up when he arrives. The cake gets baked in time, you win the admiration of anyone who knows what you did. You would have effectively used skills you just learnt for fun. You could also correct any baker trying to spoil your show with a not-so-well baked cake. I have to say this to avoid misinterpretation, it wouldn't be wise for you to go out of your way to learn how to bake. After all, you have not learnt ALL there is to learn in your career.

ilugunboy: OP ...I am totally in sync with you on this...

I raised the same sentiment when the matter broke out...

You simply don't reward negative behavior and truancy.

And I wonder what some people mean by courage...when actually the boy was totally oblivious of the dangers and risk he was exposing himself into.

You can only talk about courage if only the boy can analyze his actions and potential consequences...which obviously he couldn't.

In sane clime...some people will be answering some serious questions now..including the parents and those at the airport in Benin.

poshdiva: I don't reply text messages at all. I don't even call back when i see a missed call. I reply in my head and for the calls, I just feel you would call back if it is important.

Serendipity: At bottom, I send most of my messages individually to enable me personalise them by prefacing them with the recipient's name.
-
I do this when the recipients are dear to me otherwise I might just indite the messages and send it at random.
-
So do you prefer a customized message with your name attached to it or just an impersonal one?

lrguru: OP, get a life and stop sniffin around for stowaway kids, u are not an e-canine or sniffer are u?

uj_sizzle: I actually don't respond to a good 70% of my text messages except it's absolutely necessary.

uceee: No good knowledge or skill gained is truly a waste. But we have to be careful about trying to know everything and then end up not being very good at any particular thing, including our chosen area of specialization. Yes, there is an opportunity cost to learning things you don't see yourself needing immediately. You spend time, energy and maybe money. However, it is better to learn something unrelated to your area of specialization than to sit around doing nothing. The knowledge gained will be worth it. If it is a mentally challenging activity, you will benefit a lot from it mentally. "The brain once expanded to complete a task, never returns to its original dimensions." If it is a physically challenging skill, the health, physical gains will be worth it. Someone also suggested learning on demand which is also very good. But when you need that skill, you may not have the time to go and learn it before an opportunity is lost. You may also measure the cost vs benefit of acquiring it at that time and decide to not acquire the skill. Not knowing that you'll still need it next time. So whenever you have time and cannot learn a skill directly related to your work, learn anything you can get your hands on.

AjanleKoko: I was thinking more about the 10,000 hour rule.
Rather than developing advanced competencies in their primary field of study, people prefer to expend their energies on becoming Jack-of-all-trades.

Case in point Pep Guardiola, who learnt German in record time, after getting the FC Bayern manager job. Imagine if, after playing soccer, he focused on learning languages rather than developing the competencies that won him 14 titles at Barca. He would have at best become a multi-lingual soccer pundit.

Jessicavizzy: if u dont no wat to say den dont write...wat has endtym got to do wit dis?mtcheeew!

onyfrank: Yes, u heard me right, bt am above 30. Can it be possible, and how would i go about it?
Am Frank, i learnt that my parents wanted one of their son to become a priest.
In one of dreams, i saw myself in the middle of two priests, and i was anointed on my forehead by a superior priest/bishop.
Bt i didnt i jst prayd abt it, and dats all.
In those days, i like going 4 ordinations, chrism mass, bt i never wanted to acquaint myself with any priest. I have this urge bt bkus family situations i supressed it, wanting to help my family the way i can financially. As a result i ventured into businx.
Now I hav tried to get marry but always along the line will lost favor/attachmnt to any gal, which sometimes they will tell me dat i dnt hav conscience. I dnt knw what is reali the cause.
And because of my solitary way of life, my neighbors calls me 'Arch bishop.'
I went home with a gal to show my parents last 2months, hoping that i wil start marriage process this month, bt now i have lost intrest again. I dnt knw whats happening to me.
CAN I STILL BE A PRIEST/MONK now am above 30?
