vaxx: op do you know that the rate of succide in Europe far outweigh that of Africa...... Despite their technological advancement and human development.... They don't think twice before taking their own precious life..... Why ? they have this particular atheist mentality which says life purpose is similar to like asking for what is the purpose of cup of tea........
Most of the European counties including usa are socially and morally broken....racism is still much relevant, drug abuse is skyrocketing, pedophile and beastiality are common....... Africa has her own challengjes too but way better morally than europe..... In short, cancel that being better. Tribalism, Genocide, Ritualistic killings, corruption and many other evil vices. |

solite3: satan didn't create anything. The whole world is ruled by the devil. All country is corrupted. The real place where we can get rest and peace is the kingdom of Christ but for now Christians can stay anywhere as the Lord pleases.
Do you want to give you life to Jesus and have real peace? Say these words Dear Lord Jesus I am sorry for all my actions and hard words I have spoken against you. Have mercy on me and forgive me. I believe you died on the cross to save my soul. I accept you as my Lord and saviour. In Jesus name Amen. If you ve said this prayer congrats you are now a child of God. You can join a bible believing church for more help to grow. My dear, we have been praying that all Sunday during altar call. And we have over 10,000 churches excluding mosque and shrines. |

Mockaroo: Most of us mock this teachers, yea it awful, but bar some few exceptional teachers in the south, most of them are also the samething, the only difference is that in most yoruba, igbo, calabar and other ethnic groups in the south, they speak most of english or pidgin from childhood which makes them not too vulnerable to vocal errors.. the north on the other hand speak their core hausa from childhood to death except few who are offsprings of their elites... And who is to be blamed? |

Literature › Notable Chinua Achebe Quotes by UncleSnr(op): 3:44pm On Nov 16, 2017 |
Today, we celebrate Professor Chinua Achebe’s 87 Posthumous birthday. Here are 75 Notable quotes from the widely considered Africa’s greatest storyteller. 1. One of the truest tests of integrity is its blunt refusal to be compromised.
2. Nobody can teach me who I am. You can describe parts of me, but who I am – and what I need – is something I have to find out myself.
3. When a tradition gathers enough strength to go on for centuries, you don’t just turn it off one day.
4. I tell my students, it’s not difficult to identify with somebody like yourself, somebody next door who looks like you. What’s more difficult is to identify with someone you don’t see, who’s very far away, who’s a different colour, who eats a different kind of food. When you begin to do that then literature is really performing its wonders.
5. We cannot trample upon the humanity of others without devaluing our own. The Igbo, always practical, put it concretely in their proverb Onye ji onye n’ani ji onwe ya: ‘He who will hold another down in the mud must stay in the mud to keep him down.’
6. Every generation must recognize and embrace the task it is peculiarly designed by history and by providence to perform.
7. When old people speak it is not because of the sweetness of words in our mouths; it is because we see something which you do not see.
8. The trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership. There is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian land or climate or water or air or anything else. The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness or inability of its leaders to rise to the responsibility, to the challenge of personal example which are the hallmarks of true leadership.
9. When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool.
10. The last four or five hundred years of European contact with Africa produced a body of literature that presented Africa in a very bad light and Africans in very lurid terms. The reason for this had to do with the need to justify the slave trade and slavery.
11. People say that if you find water rising up to your ankle, that’s the time to do something about it, not when it’s around your neck.
12. The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan can no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.
13. We live in a society that is in transition from oral to written. There are oral stories that are still there, not exactly in their full magnificence, but still strong in their differentness from written stories. Each mode has its ways and methods and rules. They can reinforce each other; this is the advantage my generation as – we can bring to the written story something of that energy of the story told by word of mouth.
14. Become familiar with your home, but know also about your neighbours. The young man who never went anywhere thinks his mother is the greatest cook.
15. People say that if you find water rising up to your ankle, that’s the time to do something about it, not when it’s around your neck.
16. The damage done in one year can sometimes take ten or twenty years to repair.
17. Once you allow yourself to identify with the people in a story, then you might begin to see yourself in that story even if on the surface it’s far removed from your situation. This is what I try to tell my students: this is one great thing that literature can do – it can make us identify with situations and people far away.
18. The whole idea of a stereotype is to simplify. Instead of going through the problem of all this great diversity – that it’s this or maybe that – you have just one large statement; it is this.
19. The problem with leaderless uprisings taking over is that you don’t always know what you get at the other end. If you are not careful you could replace a bad government with one much worse!
20. A man who makes trouble for others is also making trouble for himself.
21. I thought that Christianity was very a good and a very valuable thing for us. But after a while, I began to feel that the story that I was told about this religion wasn’t perhaps completely whole, that something was left out. Read 75 Notable Chinua Achebe Quotes

Romance › It Is Wrong To Ask “how Was Your Night?” – Here’s Why. by UncleSnr(op): 11:50am On Nov 16, 2017 |
Do you know that asking a person “How was your night?” is wrong? Well, I didn’t know it until today, and I got to know with the help of a friend, Edward E Onoriode who shared the update on his Facebook wall. I felt it very necessary to spread the word and help you, my readers know about it too. Here is it, as posted by Edward E Onoriode. I attended a IED (Improvise Explosive Device) fusion cell meeting with some US and British EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) experts yesterday to discuss all the IED incidences that had happened within the week across Somalia.
At the meeting hall, I saluted one of the British officers ‘Good morning sir’ and he responded back ‘good morning to you too’
My oversabi did not allow me to keep quiet so I went further with the Nigeria popular phrase ‘how was your night sir?’
Dude was shock. He looked at me in a weird way as if I’d said something out of the ordinary. Something that’s sacrilegious which is an abomination to his ears. After some sec, he said ‘how my night went is non of your business’
I was awed in shock. Normally, I was expecting a simple ‘fine’ ‘Good’ ‘Splendid’ ‘ My night was great’ etc. But he didn’t say any of these but he told me ‘how my night went is non of your business’ I felt embarrassed.
For minutes, I couldn’t mutter a word back to him. I just buried my head in shame.
All through the meeting, I was lost in thought and I couldn’t concentrate with the meeting minutes. I kept asking myself within, ‘was my question wrong?’ ‘have I said something that offended this man?’ ‘could it be that he had a bad night rest and he decided to transfer the aggression at me?’
After the meeting, I did a little Google search and I couldn’t believe the answers I got.
Ladies and gentlemen, did you know the phrase “How was your night ” In English Language means “How was last nights sex?” “how was your night shift duty?” “how is your health during the night hours?” Whenever you ask this question in the morning to healthy people who are not in sick bed, you’re invariably inquiring about their sexual comfort/activities during the night or how their night shift went and it’s rude to ask such mostly if you’re not closely related to the person. No wonder the British officer find my question condescending because he felt I was intruding in his private business since I’m not too familiar with him. But I asked that question with a sincere and innocent mind without any harm. Basically, how was your night is normally asked to people who are receiving treatments in the hospital or people who are on night shift.
Nigeria has really messed me up. Now, I’d be more careful whenever I want to speak with these white folks because I never can tell when I’d say something that’s offensive and evasive again. By the way, I need to un-learn so many English I’ve been proudly speaking, they’re wrong. My happiness is that I know the appropriate question whenever I want to enquire how a person’s night went now and it should be; “Did you have a good night sleep?” or “Did you sleep well?”
Meanwhile, good morning friends, how was your night? Good Read: Funny Designs that Turned out to be Disastrous LookingThe answer to ‘ How was your night?’ Is actually ‘none of your business!’ I have checked our local languages. Even as transliteration, no Nigerian language asks ‘How was your night?’ I am checking because of this phrase, for those who know, was not in use in Nigeria as recent as 7years ago. I suspect, some ‘oversabi wannabe’ heard it on a music video somewhere and wanted to form posh or as my Doctor friend said to me, it may have come from hospitals. It’s common knowledge according to the doctor that sick people often have rough nights and most deaths to May occur at night. So a doctor’s question to the patient during morning ward rounds is usually ‘How was your night?’ If we exported hospital vocabulary to the streets, are we now to assume, we are all at death’s door? The proper address for mornings is simply ‘good morning’ and if you want to spice it up by being overly friendly, you may add ‘hope you slept well?’ A person’s night. Is not our business. If we are Igbo it’s either, ibolachi– have you woken up. Ututuoma- good morning. If Yoruba, ekaro– good morning. You can go further as Yorubas are won’t do by adding “se daada Leji’ – hope you woke up well? None of these our local greetings intrusively asks ‘How was your night?’ So, No! It is not African either. Let us be well aware when we leave our lanes to go measuring that of others. Source |
