CareerRe: Is It Right To Tell Your Boss "Send Your Account Let Me Credit You For Xmas? by TheGift: 10:17pm On Dec 16, 2023
PrinceOfLagos:
I'm a free spirited person and want to send something to my boss for Christmas. Is it appropriate to tell him to send me his account number let me send him something for Christmas even when I know he doesn't need it?
A lot may depend on your relationship with your Boss. But as a general rule, get them a gift that they would appreciate. But if you must give them money, do it in a classy way, that they can't refuse, e.g get their account from their PA or write a cheque and put it in a Seasons Greetings card, preferably in a hamper or accompanied with a bottle of their preferred wine.

Asking for an account number is condescending and rass.

EducationRe: I Am Not Taking This! My Baby Girl Deserves The 1st Position. 15as! by TheGift: 12:16pm On Dec 16, 2023
Josephamstrong1:
I don’t really understand some schools this days. My baby girl cleared all her subjects with distinction, all As and she was given 3rd position. She has been sobbing uncontrollably since yesterday. cry Yes, she was promised Christmas gifts and present if she takes first position in class this term.
I think she deserves the 1st position. I want to go to the school on Monday and appeal for result recheck. It can’t be!
I am not taking this o! My baby deserves 1st position with this result. cry cry
How did you arrive at this conclusion? Have you examined the computation of all the results from Her class?

Better thank God she Is smart and stop putting her under that undue pressure of comparison and unhealthy competition. Your daughter is crying and you are supporting her tears, instead of encouraging her, celebrating her and getting her the gift she deserves. Na wa!

You obviously did not watch the interview talk less of reading the post.

Who said he didn’t remember the organization he worked for? He just didn’t remember the website. And for his age or generation at the time, it was excusable.

FamilyRe: My Wife Decide Not To Apologize For Offending Me by TheGift: 3:36pm On Dec 15, 2023
Advertisershubs:
You are quite right. Women should be submissive to their husbands. That's The Way The Family And Wealth Grows!
Ephesians 5:21-

SUBMIT YOURSELVES ONE TO ANOTHER because of your reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For a husband has authority over his wife just as Christ has authority over the church; and Christ is himself the Saviour of the church, his body. And so wives must submit completely to their husbands just as the church submits itself to Christ. HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVES just as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.

How exactly shoUld she submit by accepting that she offended him just because he feels offended? Should she Submit to his tantrums and childish feelingsz

It’s so easy to say a woman should submit. But the scripture says we should submit one to to another and husbands should love their wives as Christ loved the church, you cannot love as Christ does loves without submitting your self, Will and ego . Is the OP being loving to his wife by letting his emotions rule their relationship? No!

SayNo2SmallPrik:

What is the rubbish there? He clearly did not have a superior argument to his wife’s point. But rather than accept it, he is offended because of his fragile ego.
FamilyRe: My Wife Decide Not To Apologize For Offending Me by TheGift: 3:19pm On Dec 15, 2023
If you are offended , it is your fault and not that of your wife, especially if she did not say something to deliberately offend you. But you want her to take responsibility for something she did not do, which is to deliberately offend
Or insult you.

You need to ask yourself why you feel offended and take responsibility for your feelings as a Man, rather than blame how your feel on someone else. Especially a woman. Are you sure you are not feeling that way because she spoke an uncomfortable truth? Ego is not very good in relationships , you need to learn to put your ego aside.

If you and your wife are not communicating well it is because you are relating with her as an offender based on your feelings. You need to start relating with her as normal.

You need to snap out of it. Leave tantrums for
Kids.

If you
Must tell her anything, Just tell her that you felt offended that’s why you were not communicating normally with her but you have decided to take responsibility for how you feel rather than blame it on her. Then move on. Don’t let a small issue fester and become a big deal. Good luck .

PoliticsRe: Bishop Kukah Endorses ‘japa’, Encourages Young Nigerians To Leave by TheGift: 10:15pm On Dec 10, 2023
Kloenboi:
But leaders we elected whom we think they have the capability and the willpower to liberate the country started running away from Nigeria even before it's independence and till this moment they are still running away, they all have their families there, they have beg mansions all over UK and US.

If poor man see small road to better their lives then you people will start discouraging them.
I have not discouraged any one. Rich people don’t Japa. Otedola and Elumelu are not thinking of how to Japa, and both of them became rich on this Nigeria, like many others , including the likes of Portable , so let’s not make it sound like anyone who lives automatically has a better life. There is always a trade off, but many don’t count the costs. A clear example are the many who die in the Mediterranean Sea heading to Europe, or those who have ended up as slaves in Arab countries or families being torn apart by the pressures of Japa…

Anyway, I encourage young people ,especially, to travel and explore the world, but I will never encourage them to run away “Japa” from challenges but to look for opportunities in them, whether within Nigeria or outside.

He said that when you have fully settled wherever you find yourself, you will realize that Nigeria needs you.

Nigeria needs help oga
You are right. That is what he said.

I only paraphrased “realise” to “when their eyes clear”

The truth is that Nigeria needs them , whether they realise it or not.

But I wont argue against the argument that one may have to solve his own problems before he solves that of His country.

But those who are thinking of what they can do for their country or communities, above what their country can do for them , don’t think of “Japa” as in running away, escaping to any and everywhere, without a sense of purpose.

Damnnn niggar
There is no imaginary being up there in the sky answering your prayers
Stop being stupid
The stupidity of our fore fathers is enough

The same white that deceived our fore fathers just to get what they wanted from them as at then are not the ones sacking a Nigerian nurse in the UK just because she was praying for a patient

Same man of God called suleiman that could not rely on God's prayer for his protection and hurriedly jump into a bullet proof car

Do your investigation and research on top ten countries that believe in prayers, God and spirituality and also do another research on ten countries that doesn't give a fuckkk about God, prayers and spirituality you will see that those countries that does not give a fuckkk about God are progressing and developing.
The human mind can be conditioned to believe in what does not exist and the mind will adapt to it..that is exactly what the white men did to our forefathers. But now we this smart generation reject those rubbish


I know stupid people like you will pop up and quote me. Please before any one quote me again ensure your brain power is top notch

Christianity, religion and God is an embarrassing human practice of convincing the mind to ignore common sense, logic, reason and evidence while blindly believing in ancient fairy tales.
It encourages it’s followers to value faith over facts and reality. It makes it’s followers proud instead of being ashamed of their ignorance.
Let’s leave Christianity and religion aside for starters.

1. Are you saying there is no creator? Or source of all creation?

2. If yes, to “1”, do you have proof?

3. If yes to “2”, please share.

Then we can take it from there.

The headline is highly misleading and most likely written to sensationalize his statement.

He neither endorsed Japa syndrome nor encouraged them to leave.

On the contrary, he says that Japa will create opportunities for those left behind to even compete globally. He also added that when the eyes of japa-items clear, they will realise that back home is where they are needed.

Change this irresponsible headline

So simply because the project was not started by your administration it should be completed by your administration?

So even if the project is of no real functional value or economic significance it must be completed simply because it was started?

So even if there are more pressing economic issues , the project must be completed now now, in 2024?
