You could be right bro. Since we have hearing loss, we have fewer distractions by way of noise or music when barbing, so we focus all our visual attention towards a good haircut. I don't even play music in my salon despite the insistence of some of my clients because I see no reason to be playing music in my own shop when I myself can't hear it.
I noticed, cos the two people that have hearing loss and barbs around here have more customer than all of the barbers combined around here, y'all are the 8th wonder of the world lol.

Thanks sir. Of a truth, I never went beyond SS2 and l am indeed deaf. But people often doubt me whenever l mentioned it here but it is the truth.
Are you sure you don't have any other form of education cos I've gone through your posts and your writing is almost impeccable

Let me add mine as encouragement.
I'm not from a poor family by the way, I've always be driven to school in a Lexus with AC and a personal driver that's drives me and my brother's. Lived in a house with 8 rooms when we are just 6.
When I was in secondary school, jss2, I always wanted to make money myself, my dad used to give me 1000 naira, and I was so mad that even with everything he had I was getting so little. I went to the school canteen to buy sweet and noticed it was sold 15 naira in my school, but sold 5naira outside back then. Then I got an idea, So I started buying lollipop sweets to sell In school my dad never knew.and I sold and made some money. Did that till I got to ss1 before I stopped, that when I grew up small and stated collecting 500 naira for lunch everyday. Well after school I still went to install games and music for people in the market, my dad never knew, the day he found out he actually arrested. Lol. But in all this I wanted to make something for myself. But my dad finally made me lazy. I wish I was born poor, I won't be lazy and rude as I am right now.maybe who knows I could have even made my own personal million without my pops help..such is life.
There is nothing encouraging about this,you sound like a fake.

Well, I didn't only grew up poor, I also grew up disabled after suffering permanent hearing loss since I was a kid in primary school.
As painful as that hearing loss was, it was what pushes me to go and learn a trade in barbing since my hearing loss will be a great hindrance to my pursuit of higher education as there is no way I could have survived in conventional universities even though I managed to survived conventional high school up to SS2, and the other obvious choice which is a university for the deafs is not an option either as I never learned sign language.
long story short, I am a boss barber now with my own shop and two obedient apprentice.
By God's grace l am completely totally independent and out of poverty.
Doesn't sound so much like a big deal but when l count the number of able bodied people l know who are not doing well as l am and will give anything just to be in my position, and the relations and friends l have been able to assist whenever l could, l can not but say a big thank you to God.
I have a young brother too and he's a barber and also deaf, though we're not related, I noticed you guys are way better at barbing than other barbers, I think I'm starting to see a trend,it's like you guys handle the clipper differently.

Well my parent's weren't rich but we were pretty comfortable and I didn't really lack too much but there was no opportunity because of social stratification,so I had to turn to udemy to acquire skills plus my certificate and other business idea,now I got a house and 2cars(selling one) I think I'm pretty comfortable and I try to give back as well.

Or they are refusing to report a case.

If u have a case and u didnt report it. It means u dont have a case.
It's not possible not to report it because WHO is everywhere and you can't treat it alone especially in those countries that are relatively small,you need help so you don't really have a choice but to report it

Convert $2000 with the current dollar rate, and that becomes huge money.

One will think that a country that depends on imports will do more to increase the value of their currency rather than devalue it.
You're right, it's quite unfortunate

It is a possibility, however it takes a considerable amount of attention most people don't have.but if you have the time and you're really interested I don't see why not.

I do not intend to speak against your belief... But is this the first plague Earth has experienced? undecided
The Spanish flu, that occurred in 1918 - 1920, infected 500 million people (a quarter of the world's population at that time) and killed 50 million people.
Also, the Black Death a.k.a. The Great Bubonic Plague (1346 - 1353) was the worst pandemic recorded in history. It killed about 200 million people.

My point is, there were definitely a lot of people screaming: "The end is near" and "Prepare for rapture". COVID-19's death toll is not yet up to a hundred thousand; and you guys are flooding the social media with these 'rapture warnings'.
I wonder what you lot would do during those previous dark times undecided
No offense, but just take a chill pill and shut it tongue
The least anyone could do right now is to stay home
Did you really expect indomie generation to know that history, corona won't end the world it will just influence it in a certain way, but in their defense the world was not medically inclined during those times that was what caused those deaths.

that's not true my brother.A standard ventilator goes for between $22k and $25k.
A drager or bird mark ventilator cost less than $2000.that is what they use in Nigeria, however the ICU standard can cost as much as $30,000.

You are the one that is very unintelligent.

Because thousands are working on a cure does not negate all I said.

If you were knowledgeable and had studied the bible, you will discover that even though God was working behind the scenes, he told men to as well do their part but without His help their part would have been useless.

This was shown over and over especially in the old testament.

But your hatred for God has blinded you and is aggressively dragging you down into hades like a goat led off for the slaughter. The enemy is fattening you up for the day of wrath but you are being deceived and also self deceived.

But there is hope. You can repent and turn to Jesus now and be saved.

If you hate the message, then what can I say but leave you in your blindness.
Thought you were an intelligent fellow worthy of an intelligent discourse, you're just a boy who reads too much Bible and misinterpret everything in it,your conception of religion is foolish to say the least.

I personally think the corona virus is setting the stage for upcoming world events. I could see this effecting the world economy causing many nations uniting together to create a One World economy, encouraging a cashless system because of the potential of using contaminated and unclean cash. Down the road, it could also be what initiates a vaccine that introduces a One World ID system to individuals, who because of the fear of being created by this pandemic virus, will feel the need to protect themselves and their families. By agreeing to get vaccinated, there may possibly be a personal identification connecting individuals who consent to the vaccine. There is already the World Health Organization (WHO) and I believe their role in this situation will continue to promote a globalist view encouraging those to take necessary measures for the so called good of mankind. Then it could also lead to the idea promoting a One World Religion where individuals will falsely put their faith and hope in a god created by man, uniting people in a false religion.

To me the fear of the unknown on a global scale is the perfect instrument in setting up an end time scenario. It may take years for all of this to occur but it certainly is part of the birth pains our world is currently experiencing. Of course this is just one person’s opinion and I may be way off base but whatever the outcome is I know God is still in control and I truly look forward to the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, because He is who I put my faith, trust and hope in on a daily bases. I praise His name for the peace and joy that He gives me each and every day!!! Those who believe in Jesus are blest by His mercy and grace, but I would encourage anyone who reads this post to share the gospel with family, friends and any unbeliever you meet, because we should all have a sense of urgency, “God wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth”. 1 Timothy 2:4. “The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance”. 2 Peter 3:9. If we don’t share our faith, then what does that say about our salvation and the truth we know to be true?
You just wasted everyone's time,there is no sense in what you wrote.

Continue your fantasyland.

Now I have seen videos around the world of people praying to God and also worshipping. Even leaders are seeking God for solution.

When the cure is finally found, some Atheists will say it's the doctors blabla....wer was God blabla.

I just love the way God works behind the scenes.
You stopped making sense in the 2nd paragraph, thousands of doctors are toiling day and night working on a cure and you're saying crap,will the cure drop from heaven,you can be religious and intelligent at the same time.

It's actually going to be a lot more worse than that, Italy handled it pretty well later on.UNICEF said Nigeria is the region that the virus will thrive most on earth
