Dear writer,
You would need to learn how to spell 'writing' and 'writer' first, before and blog owner can take you seriously

Greetings blog owners, i am a writter, information processing expert, news savvy, analyst. I am seeking for a job in any well designed and purposeful blog. I am interested in sports, new media, romance, gossip, health blogging. Thanks

valmunich: Good morning Nairalanders, So I've been wondering lately, why is it that I barely have interest in the things of God I.e worshipping God/living a true Christian life, could there be something behind this It all started after I graduated from high school, a Seminary school precisely, I came to discover that I have little or no interest in the things of God. Don't get me wrong though, I'm not an atheist, I strongly believe in the existence of God but I don't pick interest in church activities. As I'm writing now, everybody at home is out for church and I'm still in bed while I'm the only person that attended a Seminary school in the family.

Moreover, I attribute the whole of this 'non-interest' to the manner I was trained in school. They took this whole 'church' thing so darn serious that we worship at least four times daily and then like five times on Sundays and woe to you if you dare miss any service. The training there was very high handed that I started to think I was living in bondage hoping to be set free after six years.
Furthermore, The way they also took tithing there was so strict that you're not graduating from the school if you didn't pay up to an expected amount.

Fast forward to six years, I graduated and entered college, I felt the fresh air of freedom, since then i lost interest in attending church services and some of these churches too don't seem to be helping issues the way they preach the gospel, they seem to focus more on giving in church at the expense of salvation

Conclusively, I don't know if there's any other person out there that can relate to this and also if you've gat solutions to this, feel free to drop it, you might be helping a brother. Thanks! In advance. Your criticisms are always welcome though

I'm just wondering...why don't you have an official email address?? That alone is discouraging

How much are the flats and wedges?

Must it be bulk? What if I want just 5 pieces of some of them?

How much are the TM shirts?

Why should my dreams scare me?

Last week, I was on a bus and a secondary school boy got on. He came in and greeted everyone individually, “Good morning ma, Good morning Sir, Good morning ma…”. When he looked at me and said “good morning ma“, I smiled because I felt how could he be greeting a small girl like me and even adding ‘ma’. So while bringing out my fare, I knew I had to pay for him- no one calls you ‘ma’ and you let them pay their transport fare. As we got to our stop, it was shocking that every body in the vehicle was fighting to pay for the boy’s fare. People were all, ‘I’m paying’, ‘No, I’m paying’. The boy then smiled, looked at everyone and went again all ‘Thank you ma, Thank you Sir, Thank you ma…’. At this point I was laughing.

Respect has different interpretations in various parts of the world and even the different parts of our nation. Generally, respect is an acknowledgement of individuals and the space and position each occupies. In terms of space, every individual has his space so expects to be respected in that regards. In terms of position, people who hold offices or any authority superior to any other, expect the people of lower offices to accord the deserved respect.

In Nigeria, respect defined by space isn’t really considered in our society. The defining terms all relate to position – office, class, birth, uniform, wealth, etc. And some of these terms differ according to our different cultures and traditions.

Ever attended a function/ceremony in Nigeria where the anchor/mc errs in referring to a professor Obi as Dr Obi or even Mr Obi? Or a Prince Obi as Mr Obi? The Obi would feel so disrespected and not move until the error is corrected. He might even give a lecture during his opening speech on how he worked hard to be given that title or to have been born with it.

Or still, try going into an office in Lagos here with a friend. Have the friend kneel to greet the ‘mummy’ at the reception, while you just murmur a good morning and both sit down. Your friend would be attended to about 5 hours before ‘mummy’ acknowledges you are also there for a similar reason.

A few years ago, during my undergraduate studies, I passed by my department corridor absentmindedly, thus not noticing that our elderly departmental secretary was coming towards me with heavy bags in her hands. As soon as she got past me, she began to rant and curse heavily. Talked about how I had no respect, how could I have seen her carry bags and not offered to help with one? It took two weeks of going to beg her every morning to be forgiven. And because it was the right thing to do, according to the culture and practices of the community we exist in, I had no defence. Not even the fact that almost every Geology student of O.A.U (Ife) was bound to be caught walking oblivious of their surrounding, but rather occupied with worries and thoughts about the possibility and timing of graduation.

This and similar incidents during school days made me realise the value of respect in our society and how much a simple ‘good morning Ma/Sir’, followed by a full or half genuflection can open windows and doors faster than words. Of course this applies only in our African society. Don’t go to Yankee and be kneeling down to greet your professors or the secretary at the reception of the white house.

It could rather scare them than endear you to them.

addictiv: u re even lucky she told you she wants to move on......some people usually get wedding invitation!!

Lol I dey tell u. This is one that happens and hurts. But most girls do it as a sorta revenge thing. Especially when they want you to be aware that you've hurt/neglected them all through the relationship

sell for 5k. i will buy

set•tle /ˈsetl/
Verb (Normal dictionary): Resolve or reach an agreement about (an argument or problem)
Verb (Nigerian dictionary): Resolve or reach an agreement about a certain amount of money that must be paid before you can proceed.

Well, the Nigerian definition of ‘settle’ is not far from what the normal dictionary defines it as. The ‘settle us first’ mindset cuts across different aspects and sectors of our lives and economy that I start to think, Do we gain more than we lose? I am not even referring to the usual antics done by some uniformed people who position themselves at different points on the way and insist you drop something after dawdling your hours away. Rather I am referring to ‘we’, the people that constitute this country/state/nation we live in.
