Arsenalfirstson: Please come to my aid, I was just trying to raise money to get a laptop for my tech journey.. I lost one and then I started chasing my loss..😭😭😭😭.. Please help me, the money wasn't mine..
Now I know that punting is really intentional. If you want to win, you need to really carry 'serious' games. This was my first selection for the week and it entered.
It's not about quantity but quality. Luck is there too but just do your own.
I have watched my kids grew and I always have this feeling that something is missing in their formation. I remember how I grew up, being smart, albeit street smart and very conscious of my environment. The current kids, the millennials, seems not to have the same tenacity, doggedness and strength we had growing up. I remember how I walked on the road to buy crates of soft drinks, carried them on my head and brought to my mum's place of business.
My kids' life starts in the morning, after eating their breakfast in an air-conditioned room, an air-conditioned school bus comes to take them to an air-conditioned classrooms. After the school, the school bus drops them at home and the cycle continues.
They don't know what happens in the immediate environment, in the streets and on the road. I deliberately started going out with my eight year old daughter just for her to see how the roads are and how to even have a feel of the outer environment, outside the home or school. Mind you, I still take them out on family outings for sight seeing.
I still have the feeling that something is missing. I see street children and how fast and smart they are with things and reasoning. They move within the neighbourhood and knew everything happening. Mine seems caged and I have been trying to see how to adapt them with the environment.
The other day, I deliberately went to barb hair with my son without using my car. He saw some pigeons picking their foods on the ground. As we got close to the pigeons, of course, they would want to fly off. As they did, my son ran away and started crying. He was so afraid of the pigeons and the speed they flew off on our approach. The other time I walked around with my daughter, she saw goat and it's kids and my daughter refused moving an inch again because of the goats.
Any time I dragged her out for us to stroll, She would be walking on the road without even watching to see if cars were coming. But for those street children, very sharp and attentive to the happenings within their vicinity.
Their current school over pampers them and ensures maximum comfort. I want to start scaling down comfort for them. In my house, I have an inverter and so enjoys 24hours power. There is always light. There was time we had 3 days black out and my inverter got fully discharged. There was no AC. One day, my son was eating and all of a sudden, he started crying and I asked him what happened, he told me he was sweating. My God!, so you were sweating has become the reason to cry?
They always feel over -pampered and entitled to certain things. Agreed that parents should provide their kids with good things but I think this is affecting their formation. It is making them not to see the world reality, that it is not all rosy in this world. I am contemplating enrolling them in public school close by in September, at least, let the "hardening" starts with the school. I am sure they will be more disciplined by those public school teachers than their current private school teacher. I don't believe in AJEBUTTER. I want a well- rounded kids, fully in tune with the society and what life is all about and not being mummy's kids. Luckily, a Catholic church has now set up a Montessori school near by, we are now considering that. It makes more sense as I was also trained by the Catholic school from nursery to secondary.
What do you think? If you have alternative suggestions, please shoot!

streetzdreamz: I like how you sound, I have brothers who are like this too, all I have to do is ask and tell them which acct to credit, no epistle. Though I wish I have a lil one who'll always do that to me. @ topic this is how a family system should look like not those dysfunctional ones they call family these days.
Allow me be your lil bro for today. Please do happy Sunday for me🙏
With the pressure the economy itself puts on us , I would say we barely even wonder how each day passes or how best we engaged it.

obailala: This must be cos you have a reputation of always borrowing money and likely not repaying on time or perhaps they have to remind or beg you before you repay.
Truth is that even a tight-fisted person would gladly lend money to a person who has a good credit history. There're some people who can ask for my entire salary and will get it within 5minutes. It just depends on the credit reliability of the borrower.
wittywriter: Quote me or Drop your digits I can link you up to someone that can give you steady 1.5odds every other day. I've been cashing out through his punting prowess.
Trading sport is even paying off very closely to my trading crypto(Crypto Scalping). .....CASH OUTS ALL THE WAY.
Blazetrailer: ...thank you for saying No to bad governance. Even if the "fraud" of a president does not change all his bad policies immediately, your voices have been heard loud and clear. Globally, the world is taking notice. Well done. I am proud of you all.
The good news about this protest is that this useless and clueless, senile thief, currently parading himself ad the president of Nigeria is not only jittery, the second term he thought was assured some weeks back is no longer certain.....he who kills by the sword...
highchief1: To those that said nobody will come out?how do you guys feel now.The youths are not as docile and hopeless as people see them.I am proud of Nigerian youths.Today its peaceful.tomroow it may not be.If tinubu does not come out to address issues anything he sees he should manage.
