I have often said, that the strongest argument the judiciary can have for not nullifying the elections, if it has grounds to , would be public safety and security.

However, there might even be more chaos and anarchy , if the judiciary is seen to be compromised by not dispensing justice in accordance with the findings.

So you see....a man can be stingy to one person and generous to another. At the end of the day, we are all stingy in our own little way. You get my point
I get your point.

However , I think it is still prejudging wether they are being stingy or not.

Everyone can give , but not every one gives generously and cheerfully, some give out of obligation or manipulation cos they want something in return.

The latter are definitely not generous. And generous is the opposite of stingy.

A man gives money easily to his girlfriend, but he doesn't send money to his aged parents in the village when they ask for it.
Is he stingy?
I'm waiting for your answer grin
I don't have enough information to answer the question.
Maybe he hates his parents , so even if He is generous he won't send. Or maybe he
Is stingy but Loves sex too much and for that he is willing to spend.

Unfortunately, what most misguided ladies call stingy is not inability to provide for family needs ,but not being given so much money even for reasons unknown to the man.

You be hardworking and still die of hunger.

Being hard-working doesn't guarantee the lack of hunger.

Peter and Andrew toiled all night in the sea but caught no single fish. Luke 5:5
Yes, but when they "prayed" to the master. They didn't sit in their house and wait for fish to fall through the roof. They still went out to do the work.

The problem with many Christian's is that they pray to God then wait for the answer to fall from the sky. Forgetting that God will always use what is in your hands.

God has really blessed me financially in last few years, I have enough testimonies , but a lot of it was through the works of my hands.

Inability to provide for family is NOT stingy.

Stingy is stingy, it means to be miserly, penurious- unwilling or showing unwillingness to share with others. It implies a marked lack of generosity.

What is your difinition of stingy? Differentiate poor man, from a stingy man.
Stingy man don't spend unnecessarily, they spend on things that matters. They take good care of their families very well but can't give money easily without justification.
We all know what stingy means. If you don't you can Google it. It is the same meaning in Nigeria and in US, Uk and other English speaking countries.

Please don't complicate the question by trying to read extra meanings into it.

Christianity Etc › Re: As A Christian, What Is Your Best Posture Or Position When Praying? by TheGift: 8:57am On Jul 16, 2023
ebubeson:
Some may love kneeling down mostly when praying or standing or lying down or walking or sitting. Whichever way, let your prayers be of quality..

So what is your best posture or position when praying?
When I am walking , when I am working , when I am exercising, when I am driving, while relaxing on my bed... even sometimes in the middle of a conversation with people- without interrupting the conversation. In short , as I am living my life, in Virtually any position.

But if I must pick only one position i will pick the lotus position, sitting on the floor, with my legs crossed, my hands open on my lap, eyes closed with my head tilted slightly upward.

This position makes me feel the Father-Son connection the most. Prayer is more about listening to God than spewing so many words. That's why Jesus says, do not be like the Pharisees who think they will be heard because of their many words. Ecclesiastes says: when you come to God, draw near to listen, rather than offer the sacrifices of fools.

But for many, prayer is mostly about asking and begging God to help them with something. And half of the time they are not even praying
To God but talking to devils
And demons, binding , casting , and sending to ends of the bottom less pit , never to return again. And the next day they repeat. That is not prayer.

The handsome son of the scammer known as Buhari tongue
Why don't people call out, insult and drag Yusuf like they do El-Rufai's son

It's because Yusuf is calm and quiet while the younger Rufy's mouth runs like Diarrhea.

Yusuf is a gentleman, the Diarrhea mouthed guy is a social media thug.

Yusuf maintains his lane, but the social media thug jumps into any and everylane for the love of controversy.

Yusuf was throwing his Fathers weight around, but the lover of controversy was even supported by His Father and Mother when he spewed the most hateful, and perverted tweets.

Yusuf doesn't like the attention, but the perverted tweeter survives on attention

I thought they wanted to stop immigrants from coming in?

So if they stop the migrants, how would they see funds to implement increase in health workers salary?

It seems they aren’t serious.
Think again.

If they increase the visa fees- fewer people will migrate

For those who still decide to migrate , they will pay more to access NHS and other national services.

Either way UK wins and either way potential or actual immigrants lose.

Hud is short for Huddle
Huddle means people coming together

So Drive-in Huddle, means people coming together to drive
I was sure you had a logical meaning and this really clarifies it for me.

Maybe it can help if you build huddle into your communications - like taglines or headlines.

It's a great idea and I am wishing you the very best.

nnamdizen:
If everyman can focus on their God given responsibility of provision and protection and do it well, care for even themselves would be limited, not to talk of care for children. For the fact that your father had to step in, in the absence of your mum doesn't mean he did what all men should do, cos if you check, he might have underperformed in his responsibilities because he had to be a mother and father at thesame time.

FYI occasionally helping out to bathe the kids doesn't count, everyone does it
If you care about something , you will make time do that thing. My father went to work every day. But when he came back Home he had our time.

And on weekends We would always do some hug fun with my Dad. He would even cook for us. And he never slacked in His responsibilities.

In my own case I am an entrepreneur, I have structured my life to ensure I have time for my son everyday. My house and office / business are in the same space. After my Wife bathes And preps him for school , I walk him to school which is not far off, then start my day by 9. At 2pm I go to pick him up. While he is eating then taking His siesta. I am back to work. When he wakes up I usually take Him for a walk, sometimes with my wife. Or we do Home
Work or play with board games. If he poos and His mum or Nanny are not around , I don't wait for or call them . I go and change him. I often bathe him and feed him, esp on weekends when Nanny is not around and I know wifey needs to rest. In fact, the only thing my Wife has done/ does that I haven't done or do is breastfeed my child. Yet I still take care of my responsibilities.

I am speaking from my own experience. Let me not start telling you about real life experiences where the wife doesn't even care and it is the Man doing everything while still holding down a very serious job.

So I ask again what do you mean by men are incapable of care.
Romance › Re: What I Discovered About Women After Break-up With My Ex by TheGift: 7:04pm On Jul 13, 2023
nnamdizen:
Firstly God did not create any man to take care of a woman, women are charged with the responsibility of care, both for herself, her home and her husband, Proverbs 31, a man is not capable of care even for himself, that's why he needs a wife by his side, all he does is provide her with the necessary resources and environment to do her duty.

Secondly, the idea of marrying a teenager who knows nothing about the duty of a wife to the husband is quite risky except for some traditions, where the wife is sent to stay with the mother in law for a certain period of time, so she can be properly groomed to perform her wifely duties effectively.

Thirdly, keeping a woman locked in as a perpetual house wife is no short of modern day slavery and a waste of potential.
Women as I have come to know are multipliers, what ever you give them they multiply, give her foodstuff they make you a meal, give her a house she makes it a home, give her love she gives you care, give her money she hides and save some for tomorrow, give her ignorance, illiteracy and boredom, she rubs your name in the mud.
I couldn't get past "A man is not capable of care" what kind of fallacious and untrue generalization is that?

I am a Man that cares for my child every day along with my Wife. My Father cared for me both before and after my Mother died.

Even in my most stubborn days, he still cared for me. So I don't get what you are saying that Men are not capable of care. Please clarify.
Romance › Re: What I Discovered About Women After Break-up With My Ex by TheGift: 6:58pm On Jul 13, 2023
So because of your experience with one Woman, you think this is how all Women are?

Anyway, that particular Woman did not change, She just showed Herself for what She really was and wants.

It's her life, and especially as She was not your Wife, don't feel the need to judge Her.

It is better you blame yourself for falling for Her Woman than blame Her for not choosing you or not keeping it real with you.

When you do, you will stop using phrases like "I lost my ex". You will finally realize that you did not lose anything.

Cry. Then move on.

Introduction:
Driveinhud is an innovative carpooling solution that connects commuters and empowers them to share rides, save money, reduce traffic congestion, and build a vibrant community. Our mission is to transform the way people travel by promoting sustainable transportation options and fostering social connections. In this article, we'll provide a comprehensive overview of our company and app, along with answers to common questions that will help you understand the benefits and functionality of driveinhud app.

How it works
If you're a car owner, you can create a trip on the app and share your ride with others going the same direction with you.
If you don't have a car, you simply join a trip going your direction.
You can also create trips if you don't have a car - you just create a trip, get people to join your trip and you book either bolt or uber and split the cost among yourselves.
This would help you save your money by sharing the cost of transportation with others especially in this economy.

This is obviously an innovative and necessary idea.

I think you should reconsider rebranding (I.e changing the name) to resonate more with what it actually does.

"Drive-in" does not. And "hud", what is Hud?

People tend to be drawn to brand names that speaks to something related or that they can relate to. The name doesn't work for both. Please reconsider.

Interesting, considering the letter, it's sounding like a crime of passion I.e vengeance . Also, like a crime committed by someone the deceased was comfortable with, such as the brother to His dead ex "girlfriend" who came to visit.

Still the police should not be distracted by that letter as it may be a decoy. If someone can murder they are also capable of lying to cover up their tracks.

Thank you very much for that mathematical correction. You are correct.

Even at that, I feel 30% is not enough to stay crying foul in an Osun state that is almost equally divided between , Christians , Muslims and Traditional worshippers (who apparently have 0% in those appointments)

What did MURIC say about El-Rufais appointments in Kaduna. Or non appointment or Muslims In the south East? They should try and be calming down.

7 is 41% of 17, that is already a pass mark especially in a south western state.

MURIC really needs to be less divisive and careful not to tow extremist lines.
Romance › Re: Men Stressed By Their High Earning Wives by TheGift:
The only Man that will or should be stressed by His wife earning more is the Man that is unable to:

1. Take care of His family responsibilities & bills
2. Take care of His wives , relational, emotional, psychological and sexual needs
3. Determine his place, purpose and self esteem in life without reference or comparison to other people- including his Wife
4. Realize that if the Wife is ok, His children and family will be more ok
5. Realize that life happens in undulations, today you are up, Tommorow you may be down. It may even be a health issue that eats all your millions ( you don't want a Wife that can help you in such a situation? Or one who can take care of your kids if, God forbid, you die?
6. MOST IMPORTANT Realize and help His Wife realize ( if she doesn't already) that the two have become one. Marriage is an institution not a competition. If I don't want my Wife (my partner and the mother of my kids) to advance in life , then who else should I want to advance in life.

(The problem with many Men who complain about Women is that they married a Woman or see their Wife as just another Woman, but they did not marry a Wife, their Wife or do not see Her as such. Marriage is not for kids or the emotionally immature. That's why I advise people never to rush into marriage)

Finally , if it still bothers you so much that your Wife makes more than you, then make more than your Wife. Or are you not Man enough?

million, is the same way you turn 10 Naira into 100, 100 into 1000, 1000 into 10,000 and 10,000 into 1 million- By making a decent profit and reinvesting a part of it until you can scale.

Greetings all.

I work in a company and my take home is 450k after tax. My problem is I have been thinking of a skill to learn as this job would not last forever. Aside this job I do not have a skill and as a man I feel one should have a long lasting skill. Please any suggestions would be welcomed aside from online skills. Thank you .
Learning a skill would require time and effort that your current job may not allow you, what you need is a passive investment or side hustle, with reasonable returns , that won't require so much more of your time.

Something that can grow to the point where you can quit your job and have more control of your time in 3-5 years.
