Eriokanmi: It could be spiritual too. But you know all these rich people. They believe so much in whatever their doctor tells them and science.
"All these rich people". The way you people generalize. Was he born rich? Are there no rich people who believe in spiritual stuff. Are there no rich people who got rich by unscientific and diabolical means? Do you not plan to be rich a person?
If you have saving and assets, sell it off and leave the country. Nigeria is heading nowhere.
I have a friend who sold all he has in Nigeria, and moved to the UK. He is currently changing diapers for adults and doing fine. Another one resigned from a bank in Nigeria and used all his assets and savings to Japa to US, hommie is currently lifting boxes at Amazon during the day and doing uber at night, and he is doing fine. You need to see their pictures on Facebook to confirm the big life they can afford.
You just need to be determined, in a space of 6 months , you should be able to recover all you sold in Nigeria.
Is that the best advise you have for your country men? run to another man's country, as full grown man, to go and change the diapers of older men or women? What happened to purpose in life? Why is it that all we can think about and what drives our decisions is food to put in our mouth?
SmartPolician: I cannot believe that Malam stooped so low to reply Reno Omokri. El-Rufai, you are one of the most educated politicians in Northern Nigeria and shouldn't be seen exchanging words with a mere political jobber. You fall my hand.
El-Rufai (including his family) is the original ruffler of feathers before Reno.
I've been very much occupied with several tasks so I haven't been able to write here for a while.
Well I'm back
It's well up to three weeks since I've abstained from Crack. I must say in this Short while, my life is changing greatly though at a steady slow pace. Here are a few things about my behavioral changes since I quit crack cocaine.
- I'm now meeting up with my work responsibilities. - I'm now neater and more hygienic. I make sure the few clothes I have I keep them all fully neat and tidied at all times. My environment, my room, my kitchen everything always well arranged at neat. These are things I cared less about and left unkept while I was taking crack. - I am now focused on living a better life. Starting to have savings even though I'm not yet earning much. - Decreased independence on people. - I can now spend more time on myself sitting alone in my room or an isolated place. Before I was always moved to keep moving around. - I have developed interest in returning back to my educational pursuits though I haven't started. - My mental health is greatly improved. I no longer forget so much and I can now make vital decisions correctly. - Couldn't stay in a relationship previous and all my friends deserted me. Only family had my back. - Working hard to pay off my debt and improve myself. No longer focused on working to buy more crack cocaine to smoke.
The urge still comes in from to time but I do my possible best to get it off my mind. I can watch a movie, go out to chat with friends, take sleep meds or eat when I get the urge.
I'll write more on the challenges I faced in my past days of crack addiction later. I have to attend to my work.

Try meditation. A lot of our addictions, regardless of the kind, are because we are not at home with ourselves, and are seeking stimulations to escape. Meditation, done overtime, will teach us to be centered, get rid of a restless mind, and become at home with ourselves.
RSAV: Experienced parents please comment. My 3 year old daughter, she would be 4 years old in Feb, is sharp and very bright. It only happened occasionally that she would pee on herself. Usually when engrossed in cartoon.
However, it the last 4 weeks, it has become an everyday occurrence. She would even poo on herself!
I've talked to her, yet no serious change. I just had a baby boy few weeks ago. Could this be responsible for the change in my daughter? If yes, how best can it be handled? It's already affecting her in school.
There is nothing so strange about what is happening to your daughter. it might just be a way that she is dealing with her still-forming emotions. My Son started the same thing when he was about the same age. And he stopped within a few weeks.
Like you said (even though it may not make sense to some people here) . it may be related to your newborn, She is processing the reality of the fact that she is no longer the center of attraction. Be patient with her. Trying to have a serious adult conversation with her about it, may be counter productive. If a three year old is peeing is school, it is a only a problem if the school and parents make it so. Let them be kids, at least until 5. God knows what you were doing at 3. All the best.
Captain4Jehovah: One does not need to fear death as a Christian
Yes, one does not need to fear death as a Christian.
But that is not what the OP is speaking about. He is speaking about the feeling of loss that one feels.
That is why the scripture says "we do not mourn as those without hope" (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) not that "we" do not mourn. Even Jesus wept, with other mourners at Lazarus' grave. (John 11:35)
Being Christian does not make us immune from feelings of loss, only that we should not lose hope.
Solofresh2: The two things that makes me sad about life whenever I think about it is losing a loved one and a loved one losing me to death😥
Even if we pray to live very long can we really move on from living to see some of our loved ones die.
When I think about death, it makes me feel sad and heartbroken.
The only reason you feel sad about losing a loved ones or loved ones losing you, is because you people shared love. You cant have loss without love, we have to learn to embrace the bitter with the sweet. The best thing you can do for you and your loved ones is to live each moment with gratitude, joy, and hope. There is nothing gained from living in anxiety about something we have no control over. Who knows whats on the other side? One thing I know is that love never dies. Enjoy it as it lasts and while it lasts.
Has Onanuga heard that there is no smoke without fire?
Why did Mattawale not sue Lawal who said it ( I watched that video) ?
Does it make sense that a governor who could not defend His state from a rise in banditry, be given the position of Minister of Defence for the whole country?
What exactly has Mattawale achieved since His appointment?
There is a very tiny line between being ungrateful and yielding to godfatherism, I don't pity Fubara at all, he knew exactly what he was signing up for, if someone single-handedly brought you out of nowhere and make you the governor of River state, the person owns you now, be it Nigeria or America, that person simply owns you, that's why in America, they make it very hard for any single individual to have absolute influence on an election result..
Fubura knew this, he accepted it wholeheartedly, Wike even locked a prospective governorship candidate up days before the primary election, and now he's playing dumb.
he who rise by godfatherism should die by godfatherism, I have no fvck to give.
What kind of warped thinking is this? A man who did not create you should own you because he helped you. He should disregard the governance of the people and focus on pleasing His master.
This kind of thinking is why this country is in a terrible mess.
ExAngel007: Benue politician raises eyebrows after heoffered N20k salary for a cook "who can stand pressure and cook well"
A Benue politician, Takema Akom Smith's job posting has raised eyebrows online.
The APC chieftain, who was an aide to former Benue Governor, Ortom before defection, made a post on Facebook, saying he needs a female cook for his guest inn and offered a salary of N20K.
he wrote on Thursday October 24.
He wants to pay that amount for someone who can cook very well, and will be cooking very well under pressure, morning, noon, and night, every day, 7 days a week, and 4 weeks plus a month IN a country where we are still arguing that 70k minimum wage is not enough?
Some people don't know, but they are engaging in modern-day slavery.
Some jobs, there salary might be meager but the aside could even be more than the salary self
So why not state the aside in the offer? If it is something He is committed to doing? or you want the candidate to be like those people who take meager salaries in high traffic areas, in the hope that people will dash them money? How can one live like that?
Just the other day, someone was telling me Canada is the best place to Japa to, when I asked Him to name one place in the world that is not going through some upheaval. And then I realized, that many people do not know anything (or the critical trends) about where they want to japa to, beyond all the nice things their japa consultant tells them.
babasolution: " The men who built America " it's possible it is an American PR propangada story.
I get your point But I still maintain that the whites weren't that much different as much as we think,many of them japad,the main difference is they didn't have much alternatives to japa as Africans have today.
babasolution: Forget this entrepreneur tale,it's bunkum,it's a lie,its the American government that built America not entrepreneur shit( many do not know that America runs a system were it freely and easily gives credit( capital) to entrepreneurs), so ultimately the government is the game changer,aside America what about Europe is it entrepreneurs that built Europe?.
Chinese and Indians have business here,they have funds( capital) which they can risk.The Indians are even more guilty of japa than Nigerias, Indians japa pass Nigerias,likewise the Chinese.
Nigerians will rather use that capital for japa since it guarantees some form of success which is less risky.
The whites never had alternatives in those days,the ones that did ,who japad to Freeland escaping poverty in Europe created countries like Australia, new Zealand, south africa and the Americas.Europe and America were the most developed places in the world for a very long time so they had virtually no other place to japa to,so they had no choice but to fight,unlike Nigerians who have alternatives
Such free land do not exist again for Africans/ Nigerias to go to so Europe and the Americas are great alternatives.
Go and watch "the Men who Built America", then come back and tell me it was not Entrepreneurs who built it.
My point is, it is individuals willing to fight for a society and make a change, that actually change society. Not those who cannot think beyond their stomach and that of their families.
I am a proud Son of Niger Delta, but I am not proud of Wike. I thank God we are not from the same state (with all due respect to citizens of that state)
GreatrAnalyst: Your own fight has much translated to much sir, and that of many. Many have lost their lives, their memories long erased in the clime where human life and chicken essence hardly have differences.
People are responsible for their lives.
What most of the parents of those japa'ing couldn't give them, they want to be able to give their own children.
They should be careful not to give their children, mass shootings in America schools, Transgender teachings in Canadian schools, Knife stabbings in UK, Racism everywhere.
babasolution: The issue is the Europeans had no were to go then,if they did they would have japa too,that's why America exist,including south America, it was Europeans that japad there.but in most cases they had no were to go as Europe was still the most developed place even at their building era compared to the rest of the world.
Africa's have alternatives, Europeans especially then did not
Who says they did not have alternatives? The Chinese and Indians that are trooping into Nigeria, while we are running away, do they not have alternatives? The difference between them and us is that we don't want to take responsibility for building our country and societies, we just want to outsource it to some "leader" That is not how great countries are built. For example, it is entrepreneurs, not governments that built America.
Chinjo2: God firbid. How can you fight for a better Nigeria when INEC and Police are given directive by the presidency to write electoral results thereby subverting the will of the people as was done in Edo recently?
That is the more reason you have to fight for Nigeria. It is a fight, it is not a walk in the park.
shivisee: This is the time peter obi should use to mobilise his ipods youth to free his administrative ipod leader COWNU at kuje,since the president is not around, his ipods youths normally call him okute abi pakute or similar names,he should be bold enough to mobilise his people to jail break their criminal NNmadi kanu ,afterall that is the sole reason he wanted to become president to free, COWNU !
You people just sit in your room and concoct all sorts of conspiracy theories. Na wa ooo.
RealTrump: Well, both muslim Christian historical recognises Isreal. The only issue I see here is that Isreal is at least 5 times smaller than what it should be. Egypt, Lebanon n Jordan...there is no way those three didn't steal a ton of Israeli land.
Before you go about defending these people, the video below is Gaza just before the war.
That so called "open prison" was better than quite a lot of places even in California but guess what, they wanted Isreal dead so bad that they ended up killing themselves. Gazans had a great life.
RealTrump: Israel a 4000 years old country, created a whooping 2000 years before Prophet Mohammed roamed the earth was some created in 1947 by a UN charter
I said Israel as currently constituted. Before then , the Jews were mostly in dispaora, until World War 2 when they received major persecution.
They are always being scattered, enslaved/opppressed and then returning through out history. From Egypt, To Babylon and More recently Germany and Eastern Europe 1939-1945.
But if you want to go to the real history of this beef , you will have to trace it to one man. Abraham. Who had 2 sons. From different mothers. The first son was from the slave of the Wife, based on her recommendation, and the second son was from the wife.
There would have been no problem between these brothers if the Wife had not asked that the mother of the first son and the first son be chased away.
This is the real source of the Arab-Isreali conflict. Two brothers of the same father, Ishmael and Isaac, fighting against one another, about an issue that they were not even involved in starting.
