It works when you take steps. Prayer is just like mere talks if not followed up. Somethings require basic principle outlined by God himself.

Ppl should keep praying money should come t them in their houses and nt position themselves where the money will come.

'If applied correctly'

I am sorry but all these daddy GOs are causing it. They make people come to their yards to pray monday to sunday without applying common sense.

About 3 years back it was allowed and then staff were coming to work in bum shorts and pyjamas like wears. Not very professional. So a memo went round to stop any kind of shorts, flip flops and rugged jeans. Even on dress down Fridays.

So it’s smart sensible casual because we get clients coming into the office.

Yeah they do abuse it...Distraction galore for guys at work

marylandcakes:
You are lucky, not allowed in my work place.

If you like you can wear thong to work here....where I used to work it's strictly smart casual.

marylandcakes:
Yes it’s too hot. All this week I’ve not had to take a cardigan to work. It’s been sleeveless all week.

I have been wearing shorts.

They have been swindled by the same diick

the ref could have also given Argentina a clear cut penalty

We know you are genetic waste but what he was trying to tell you in layman's terms is that he should have been temporarily stopped from playing and get treated.

This!

They will never remain the same. Let them wait few weeks they will start seeing his toys around the house and even hear his sound in their heads.

You're not an Urban and Regional planner, you are not a highway planner/designer/surveyor/engineer, you are not an authority in urban circulatory networks you haven't carried out proper research on what makes these roads experience delays, your write up is based on mere say and here-say which isn't objective, not factual and isn't scientifically proven, and don't bridge knowledge gap and can't proffer solutions to the challenges posed.


Consult a qualified town planner who's a highway specialist to explain better.

Cheers!

Guy, this is just common sense. Of what benefit are those wide median strips?

I like the way he is handling this... You cant even taunt or tag him an ex-convict. He is laying it bare!

These people and red carpet..

JupiterGeekVII:
Ease up on being so judgemental. No one prays to lose their child.

I have to be bro..

Lack of safety awareness is killing so many people in Nigeria. I'm still surprised there are few deaths caused by the marble floors they do in Nigeria. You see some stairs on nollywood movies and you if someone falls, they can't escape the mortuary.

oyb:
you need to give the guy a break.

there is a reason why there are professionals who design and install swimming pools, etc.
if i were to conduct a safety audit of your house, do you think you would pass muster?
do you have a designated fire escape route?
do you have functioning smoke alarms?
do you have panic buttons?
do you have multiple fire extinguishers
do you have ladders?
do you have the right clothes and gear for every task?

you may not even realise it, but babies have drowned in bathtubs

as i am writig this, my wife, who has been ignoring the health club subscription i purchased wants to revisit it because our last born 2 years july. loves water.

Please oyb stop comparing all these to an open pool... The toddler would have wandered there so many times common sense should have told them to secure the area.

Mindfulness:
Why children drown
Summer seems to bring a rash of tragedies: young lives lost at the beach, in the pool, even in a backyard wading pool. Here's how to make sure it doesn't happen to your family.

It was the last day of school. Gabriele Tar and her four kids were standing around their kitchen table in Markham, Ont., revelling in the excitement of two months of impending freedom. Mike, 14, and Kathy, 11, peppered their mom with questions about coming summer fun. “When can we go to Canada’s Wonderland? Are we going to the cottage soon?“ Stevie, almost three, and 18-month-old Krissy were trying to be part of the excitement they couldn’t quite understand.

Suddenly, something clicked on Tar’s mom-radar: “Where’s Krissy?” The toddler had been at her feet a minute ago.

Unable to see her, Tar started calling. At this point, she wasn’t thinking about the backyard pool. There were only two ways to get out there, a back door that was always locked and the big patio door just over a metre from where Tar stood. It was too heavy for Krissy to open by herself. Thinking she might have gone to raid her big sister’s gumball machine, Tar headed upstairs. Just in case, she sent Mike to check the front yard and told Kathy to look in the backyard. Tar was at the top of the stairs when she heard Kathy scream.

She doesn’t remember how she got down the stairs, out the door or into the pool. All she remembers is being in the water beside her daughter, who was floating face down. She pulled Krissy out of the pool and, yelling for Mike to call 911 (which he was already doing), ran with her limp body into the dining room, laid her on the carpet and started to administer infant CPR.

“Remember what you learned at Monique’s, Mom,” Kathy said. (Tar and her husband, Stephen, had recently completed an infant CPR course at a friend’s house.) Tar’s tears fell onto Krissy’s dripping body as she did compressions on the tiny chest.

Unlike some stories, this one has a happy ending. Within a few minutes, Krissy started to moan. By that time, Mike was on the phone with firefighters, who were on their way. “They need to talk to you, Mom,” he said. Mike — who had learned rescue techniques at swimming lessons and would later receive an award for his actions that day — took over, moving Krissy into the recovery position. He rolled her on her side, chin raised to keep the airway open, upper leg bent at the knee, hand under the head. Krissy coughed up a bit of water and started to breathe…and scream.

Each year, dozens of families experience a similar horror. On average, 63 Canadian children under the age of 15 drown each year; nine are toddlers who die in a backyard pool. The Canadian Institute for Health Information estimates that for every one of them, there are six to 10 like Krissy, who have a close call.

Fifteen years after that day, Gabriele and Stephen Tar still ask themselves why their daughter was spared. Krissy came home from hospital the next day. She was fine. But the family couldn’t face reminders of the near tragedy. Gabriele threw Krissy’s pink bathing suit in a hospital garbage bin. The curtains on the patio door remained closed for days. “It was a long time before we used the pool again…before we could even go in the yard,” Stephen recalls.

Stephen had raced from the golf course to the hospital after receiving a pager message, not knowing if his daughter was dead or alive. He now believes a combination of things saved Krissy’s life. One was Gabriele’s inexplicable mother’s instinct, which kicked in just in time. From the toddler’s rapid recovery, doctors estimated that she was only unconscious between 30 seconds and two minutes. After three minutes of oxygen deprivation, brain cells start to die. Neurological damage and death are not far behind.

Secondly, family members knew what to do: Gabriele’s CPR training was fresh in her mind, and Mike knew to put her in the recovery position. The third factor was Krissy’s age, which might explain why she experienced a “dry” drowning — when a laryngeal spasm closes the throat so no water goes into the lungs, only the throat. This can happen at any age, but it is more common in young children. A dry drowning can still kill you — you can’t breathe and pass out from the lack of oxygen. But victims who revive are less likely to suffer lasting damage.
It’s not as if we don’t know how quickly water can kill and that children have to be supervised closely any time they are near the water. We know that kids should wear life jackets in boats and that pools have to be fenced and gated securely. Stephen and Gabriele Tar knew all that stuff. Their back door was locked, as always, that day Krissy fell in the pool. And Gabriele and the older kids were steps away from the sliding patio door, which was normally kept closed (and was too heavy for a toddler to open), but must have been Krissy’s route to the pool. Still, the unthinkable happened. “We thought we were good parents,” says Stephen. “We watched our kids, even Mike and Kathy who could swim. This is proof that it can happen to anybody.”

He’s right. In a single moment, somebody turns his head, a child becomes curious and slips away, or a tot trips and falls near water. A family’s world changes forever.

It all seems to lead to a single safety message repeated over and over again: Watch them, stay close, watch them, stay close. However, parental supervision is not foolproof. A study by the US-based National Safe Kids Campaign found that 83 percent of children who drowned were in the care of an adult at the time. Here are several key pitfalls of adult supervision to watch out for.

You're welcome.

TL:DR

What I am trying to say is that dbanj and his wife are foolish for leaving that pool area open like that with a toddler in the house.

Mindfulness:
No reason to take out your anger on grieving parents. It could have happened to ALL of us.

Speak for yourself bro...it couldn't have happened to all of us. If i have swimming pool like that, the key to the gates would be in a vault.

Ralphlauren:
exactly.

the only time i have ever faced any form of racism at the work place was whilst i was working as a perm staff many years ago. my manager made a racist comment towards me (to the hearing of the entire team), he realised his slip and immediately went on his knees pleading and begging me to forgive him. serious begging - the guy was literally red in the face and almost shitting on his pants. he knew if I reported to HR, he was gone. meanwhile, I was the only black person in the entire team.

i forgave him (as a good Christian ) and after that incident, till I left the company, he was super nice to me. I got the hours/flexibility I wanted without any objection whatsoever from him. appraisals, etc were always A+

I didn't see any point making a big hooha out of the whole issue because I was just starting out professionally post Uni and I needed the job at the time especially for the work experience/exposure and I knew it was a stepping stone. sometimes whilst climbing up the ladder, we need to stoop low, take some shyte, ignore and move on.

with contracting, its been a good ride. I have had the odd 2 or 3 contracts where I have gotten the 'jealousy attitude' from the odd a$$hole who is a perm staff just because they know i am earning much more than them but honestly, i do not care - if they pained, they can tender their resignation letter and jump into the contracting market. I just ignore such individuals.

Yes you get the odd permies with attitude based on the fact that they have an idea of the contractor rates. Seasoned contractors have been naturally designed to overlook those sort of oloshis. They don't have the liver to go contracting but will still be envious.
The thing is I don't need any 360 degrees feedback or one to ones or appraisals from anybody. So, whatever attempt is dead on arrival.

Truckpusher:
This manner of death will forever haunt them all their entire life.

Women most at times are a bit carefree with the safety of their kids ,I've been wondering why women are like this because I have noticed this countless times with the female folks around me.

Bro...I have noticed men have more awareness in this area than women. Once they clench mouth like sharknado and taking selfie to be posted on Instagram, they don't know what is going on around them again.

Foolish parenting. You don't need to be told to secure the area. The kid would have wandered to the pool area on many occasions prior to the incident, common sense did not inform them to get pool area locked. I insist they should be charged.

olaidecash:
Pls help!!! I need a cab man to heathrow ,anyone has any?its urgent.Thanks

If you use Google on your phone from your location you will get better results.

Fancy over safety. Indoor swimming pool should have been locked but trust them they will lay red carpet with double door entrance to the pool... Both of them should be charged!

Lexusgs430:
That is indirectly the point I was eluding to..... (but we have to also recognise that, not all forms of employment affords this option).......

True

Lexusgs430:
Sorry to hear about your experience.... Unfortunately it comes with the territory (albeit indirectly)....

The only solution is either to develop a very thick skin or work in any environment where you exclude yourself from the politics (indirectly)..... ...

The beauty of contracting...no need to get involved in that shyte...pay me my cheque and put some respeck on it.

safarigirl:
D'banj and his wife ought to be arrested and sued for negligence.

This is why this country is terrible.

And he even has the guts to come to Instagram and be telling us about trying times, his head is not correct. In a country with a working legal system, he would be chilling in jail by now alongside his wife.

They think parenthood is about taking pictures and looking cute for the gram? I hope this has taught them a grave lesson

I swear, I'm pissed at this boy's death because it should never have happened

You are not as pissed as I am...this is so avoidable. This will haunt them for the rest of their lives. They build fancy homes without safety precautions. Useless set of people!....You will see their marble floors/stairs and wonder how they could not envisage that if someone falls, its straight transport to heaven.

This is a very sad news....but naija people should embrace health and safety. No child should be able to get near the pool alone without an adult guidance. If he is based in UK, he will go jail for such negligence.

JupiterGeekVII:
Women are typically better decision-makers than men.

Maybe in respect of buying goat meat.

This should be team accolades but trust naija... It is musa

Like agege bread soaked

Iceland keeper can fit sleep for this game.
