People should speak out,depression is a bad feeling

You're right but some especially men do want to act tough and will refuse to speak

At different points in our lives, the situations and circumstances surrounding us tries to weigh us down. When this happen, we use the word “depression” loosely. While we may be correct, it is also important we learn what depression is in in entirety. This articles explains depression and the types of depression known.

Depression can be defined as a disorder in a person’s mood which results to a persisting feeling of sadness and loss of will to partake in usual activities.

People often classify depression into two: Regular Depression and Clinical Depression. Regular Depression is the kind which everyone can go through in life due to a certain bad situation or experience and it’s usually very short, it could last for few minutes, hours or few days. Regular Depression however can metamorphose into something bigger which is Clinical Depression. Clinical Depression is the kind of depression which needs medical attention, it does not always have to result from regular depression, it could be caused by other things. There could also be different causes of depression in men and women.

Types Of Depression

For easy comprehension, we have grouped the types of depression into eight. They are as follows:

1. Major Depression or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

MDD could sometimes also be referred to as uni-polar depression or classic depression. Major depression disorder could be mild, moderate or severe and it is not usually not dependent on situations or people around us. A person could experience such even if there are good, loving and caring people with him/her.

This just admits he truly did it, but I still think it wasn't rape anyway

Donaeo:
Back to normal.

Mine keeps fluctuating. Is there any particular thing you did?

Donaeo:
I think its a general issue, link ads are not performing well again, overall CTR and CPC this month is very low. Adsense is not reliable.

How is the situation for you now?

Ugwuoke347:





Quit the blackmail already.
Don't be silly!

It is within their right to contest and follow it through.
To remain in the race and get to the finishing.
Whether they are going to win or not
is completely out of the question.

You have no right to chastise them
for keeping their dream real and alive!

Find something else to use to market your candidate,
and stop attempting to demonize honest men
who are giving you Nigerians
a healthy and decent dimension of choices.

Who told you it must be either Buhari or your Atiku?
Again I say, face your front!

Simple question: Can any of these candidates win?
If you are honest, your answer is No
Do they know they cannot win?
Simple answer : Yes
Okay, you say it's completely out of question

If they are really honest about booting out this current ineffective government and they know that their votes would only cause a split to Atiku's vote. Why should one allow his dreams (which he knows he can't achive yet) affect the next 4 years of Nigeria (by helping Buhari win).
The best thing for them is to strength their structures first and come back when they built enough strength, right now they don't have strong enough structures to win governorship elections yet sef.

This thought has been on my mind for a long time and I've been watching to see what the likes of Sowore, Fela, Donald Duke, Kingsley will do as the election approaches. It still surprises me that these men are still in the race (correct me if any one has stepped down).

I doubt if their goal is to really make Nigeria better as they claim. These guys are selfish and only aim at promoting themselves (forget their selfish cry about promoting a youthful government).

Right now it is obvious and even the blind can see that none of this people can win the election but they're still bent on running? Why? Simple reason is they are working for Buhari through their selfishness (whether consciously or unconsciously).

Atiku's supporters are made up of a large number of business folks and well exposed people while Buhari has some of this people, a lot of "unexposed" people especially northerners and some tribalistic/religious folks. This unexposed & tribalistic ones are supporting Buhari not because he performed to their taste but because they see him as a man of "Integrity", APC has painted Atiku in a bad light and they see him as a criminal who wants to come and steal "their Nigeria's money", they are yet to understand or grab that Atiku CANNOT be labelled rightfully as a criminal until the allegations against him are proven which over the years have not been proven.

This same set of people who support Buhari are rigid and unwavering and THEY DO NOT EVEN KNOW who Sowore, Fela, Kingsley and others are. I'm serving in a rural area and when I mention Sowore or Kingsley there, they don't even know if Sowore is a name of a person or type of food. The only ones who knows these other candidates are the well exposed ones who want a change (and are naturally suppose to support Atiku).

So what is Sowore, Fela etc. doing? They are simply splitting the votes that is supposed to go for Atiku/Obi. These candidates are very intelligent young people and they have brains enough to see that they don't stand a chance in the election, they still insist on being in the race. If these people really want a change in government, they would step down and support the only man that can take away this government - Atiku.

But for their selfish reasons, they're still there. I even read the news recently where Donald Duke and his party was still fighting about his candidacy I'm like . This dude knows he can't win and he's disturbing himself so much?

Fela has also seen the signs and he tried to seek for a merger but he didn't get (even the merger couldn't have made much Impact). Though knows he can't win, he's still contesting to split the votes that will go for Atiku. Sowore too is intelligent enough to know that he CANNOT win yet, he cannot even win the governorship election in his home state yet.

I have come to the conclusion that these guys don't mean well if they can't join hands to boot out the current ineffective government. Simple reason is that they are working for Buhari/APC but God pass them. God has heard the cry of Nigerians and will not let us make the same mistake we made 4 years ago. A larger percentage of the masses are now atikulating seriously.

Please Weblanders, I need your help here.

Looks like no one has help for me here. I still dey kampe sha.

explosivesedo:
copy and paste

lol, you don't even know my blog and you're making such allegations. I write fiction stories and one of my ongoing action thriller series has about 5,000 people following currently, other writers also have their works on my blog. I'm not about to post my url here but I have 15k + daily views and 20k on days I update my own story.
I believe my niche is what's paying low

Please, no one has an answer yet.

Cc: lalasticlala and seun, help save me from ban abeg

festwiz:
Yeah. Tech. The views are disappointing but i am patient(see signature). I created it mid last year but i have been unserious with it. Lol.

Nice Blog, I need to work on a better niche too but I'd only be chanced to diversify when I finish school

festwiz:
i think so. I guess your niche is entertainment. My CPC hovers around 0.10-0.18

WOw! What niche is that? Tech?

I would study literature or go into theatre arts. Now I'm in my finals as a civil engineering student. I'm not doing bad, I'm one of the bests in the class. It's just that I realized that i'll feel more fulfilled doing arts. Its a pity that during secondary school days, I thought science was for me because I was top in my class. It's a pity people still believe that their intelligent kids should study science

festwiz:
Hmm, let me wait for the gurus. OP, why is your CPC so low?

Maybe my niche, it has always been within the range of 0.05 - 0.02

This is the amount gotten from the views and here is where I have an issue because I dont understand how 210 impressions should produce $1.49 and the earnings from clicks is usually far higher than the one from views, oppposite is the case now, please is something wrong?

this is the amount gotten from clicks

Hello please, I noticed an unusual increase in my adsense earnings since yesterday but the confusing part is that there is no unusual increase in number of clicks or CTR. The increase in earnings comes from the views which I don't understand.
Please check the screenshots to understand better.


The first picture is the overview

Funny, how a lot of folks think though. Well I mentioned it in the first paragraph, they see us who "have Pastors" weak or unable to think rightly. I've said the truth whether you agree or not

In today's world where there is lack of respect for spiritual authority and so much bad talks and accusation about men of God, people find it difficult to refer to a particular person as their pastor or man of God probably for the fear of being deceived or duped by the Pastor or being seen as a weak fellow for having "a Pastor".


It should be noted that for the case of this discussion, the word Pastor is used as a generic word for the five fold ministry (Apostles, Prophets, Teachers, Pastors and Evangelists).
Now, I've heard a lot of people say things like "I don't need a Pastor to tell me what God says", "I can read the Bible for myself", "God can talk to me anywhere and anytime, I don't need any MOG". Some have even gone as far as labeling all Pastors entrepreneurs and fraudsters. The question I will like to ask you is why did God give us these ministry gifts if we do not need them? In Ephesians 4 verse 11, the Bible says ;
"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers" KJV
So did God just give us these gifts that we do not need? No, we need them obviously and that's why he gave them to us. He told us the reason for giving them in the following verses. Ephesians 4 verse 12 - 14
"[12] For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
[13] Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ
[14]That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; " KJV
I'm going to break down these reasons simpler for you to understand.

You need a "Pastor" to teach you.

I've explained that I'm using the word Pastor for the five fold ministry in this article, so I believe it shouldn't be a problem anymore.
Now you may say you can read the Bible and learn for yourself, I agree with you. In fact, you should read the Bible and know the word for yourself. But that doesn't replace the part of the Pastors, they are specially ordained by God for this purpose and there is an anointing upon their lives to carry it out.

You need someone to monitor your growth.

Yes, you do. Even though not all Pastors perform this properly but it's part of their job. They act like fathers to see to your well-being, your spiritual well-being particularly. Your spiritual well-being controls the physical, so once you perfect it there, you'll perfect it in other areas. So the Pastor watches you grow spiritually and detects when you're not making progress like you should do.

For correction .

This supports the point above. Your Pastor is there to correct you when you miss it. Once he detects that you're doing the wrong thing or not doing something right, he comes in.

You need a Pastor to inspire and motivate you.

You can say this is the work of a motivational speaker. Calm down. What I mean is you need someone to inspire you to do the things of God and to grow spiritually. That is what the Pastor should do with his teaching and his lifestyle.

You need a Spiritual Head to guide you.

There are just sometimes we need guidance. Yes, we have the HolySpirit to guide and direct us. But remember, one of the end reasons God gave us these five fold ministry is that "we should not be tossed to and fro" . It means these offices are required to keep us in a straight path. And you also need someone that represents you on the altar. You should not just pay your tithes to anyone and everyone. Take it to the Church (the church you attend; that is you must have a particular church) and give it in your church, that's where the blessing lies.

To protect you

Yes, your Pastor "keeps" you, through prayers, his word and prophecy over your life and his teachings. The fourteenth verse of Ephesians 11 suggests that Christians can be deceived by the cunning craftiness of men. This five fold ministry helps to prevent that and protect you.
So prayerfully seek for a church and join. Follow the leader attentively, it may be a Pastor, Prophet, Teacher, Apostle or Evangelist. They are all ordained for us.
This is where I'll stop for today. Please feel free to agree or disagree. Drop your comments

Wrong Question. All in a bid to make front page with this tithing issue. Your question should be "Should A Christian Gamble".

Tithing on gambling gain here is not the problem but your addiction to gambling is what you should find a solution to. If you stop gambling, then you won't be asking this silly question.

OtemSapien:
Why should you pay tithe at all? The only time I have refused to help people is when they tell me that they wanted to use the money for tithe, offering or thanksgiving in church.
I discovered that I'm more blessed now when I don't pay tithes than those days I ignorantly did so. Save your tithes and offerings in the bank rather.

Ogbeni, keep lying to yourself o. So you think you're blessed because you stopped tithing, okay, Wehdone sir.

Alright.. Please add it also include steps to whitelist your site

Okay, thank you

webincomeplus:
There's nothing wrong in using anti-Adblock since the essence of floating ads on your blog is to have them displayed.

To me, the idea of adblocks doesn't really make sense. Why would anyone visit my site to get free information that I work hard to generate, and still decide to block the ads that fetch me revenue?

I understand that ads are obtrusive, but if you're not fine with them, just leave my site and find your free information elsewhere. If you must enjoy my blog's content for free, then you must be willing to bear with my ads. Life is all about give and take. I'm blogging to make money, and running a blog comes with hosting and other expenses.

That's it man! I use hours, I mean several hours to write my contents, if the readers are enjoying my content to always come back for more, then they should be nice enough to allow me get something in return too

It depend where your visitors is coming from. Just make sure you are not forcing your visitors to click on your ads. and what niche is that.

I do fiction stories there, different genres. I'm not forcing them to click on the ads. I've taken it off tho

Yea, Glo is messing up big time

martineverest:
google is anti-googleing by buiding add blocking on chrome.

I don't understand what you mean here

Finstar:


See.. No one have the time to start going to settings, to remove adblocker before he can access your site. If he found out he can't , he will move over to the next blog immediately. There are thousands of blogs out there..

This might just be the disadvantage and why I've taken it off for the moment. First time visitors to the blog will be pissed off but a lot of times, my readers know they can't find the same content I provide anywhere else at that moment. But I don't plan to continue using it cos I still need to increase my readership base

Hope you have invalid click blocker plugin on your blog if not get ready for absence ban.

Lol... I do not have. But how much is a blog of 13,000 to 16,000 daily page views expected to get from Adsense in a day? without AdBlock
