guy when I was in secondary school, a Jss1 student was flogged. He scaled the fence and went and reported to his dad. I am telling you that my Commandant then, ordered soldiers to job( frog jump) his dad before him. After that, they expelled the boy right there and told him to follow his dad home.

^{...wifey came in once and laughed at his accent, I chased her commot for kitchen, as in eh?...I'm not even conscious of the accent, just the content. I'm actually thinking of retrning whence I came...to the religion thread.}

. Its an ilu-oke accent, a lot of peeps may not notice since what he is saying is grammatically correct and even if it is not most who will listen wont even care. Religion section strange things are happening there, I was still telling someone off naira land that one needs to be careful of what one reads there, too many things that can question your faith if your conviction is not strong enough

I'm sure many start with idealistic aspirations to really make a difference - then they jam the system . In some ways it's probably coping behaviour.

I'm sure some of the things they see will be heart-rending and they wouldn't be able to function, or function at best, if they let the softer skills get in the way, or try and remember those little touches .

Ok let me modify post thanks.

Where the conditions and environment are probably harsh for workers and patients. The nurses, as are everyone else, just products of this.

^{Morning yetseyi, how far? I've been watching YouTube videos of Bro' Gbile. I'm quite surprised about the low number of views. Some barely make a 1'000 - and I listen to each one at least 2ce}

Morning Oga TV I am not really surprised , bro Gbiles messages are not really pleasing to the ear to a lot of hippy/modern Christians, Its for those who want in-depth exposition of the scriptures

LaClicKLaBenDin:
Going by the short story, I would say that as a Christian, if you become that close to a man, know him and trust him enough to make him your best friend, share secrets with him, enjoy both good and bad moments together, then I believe it isn't wrong to tell him exactly how you feel based on the above. I actually mean telling him exactly how you feel.

If you claim to be a Christian and you're best of friends with a man, whereas you truly love him, it actually means you're not being honest with the guy in question, so, I think it's either you let go of the feelings or tell him. Now, telling him doesn't amount to being obsessed, stalking or forcing yourself on him, no! This is where wisdom comes to play; call him, sit him down, and tell him that you haven't really been honest with him, and tell him how you feel in a very moderate and mature way. Make him understand that you're telling him for transparency sake, don't push him to reciprocate or anything. If he feels the same way, or have been nursing feelings for you, he will take the lead, but if he doesn't, trust me, you will have inner peace and secondly, you will at least know he doesn't feel the same way for you and that will help you structure your life. That you love a guy and tell him, doesn't mean you should throw caution to the wind because he says he feels same way. You should especially be careful that he doesn't take advantage of you.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am not in support of Christian ladies asking any guy they like out, I'm saying this in the context of op's story. That's because the guy being your best friend, would have given you the opportunity to know him very well, at least to an extent.

On a final note, I do not in anyway support the idea of a woman proposing to a man under any circumstance. Some guys could be shy not to tell you exactly how they feel, for different reasons, especially for the fact that they are afraid to lose your friendship, that's understandable, but any man who isn't man enough to propose to you as a man, that man isn't worth your time!

But in everything wisdom is the principal thing...and moderation is key.

This government never takes responsibility. Haba ! , . Okay, what has Pmb done right to salvage the situation ? I can't think of one. But I can tell you many things he has done wrong.
1. After 9 months in power, he appointed his ministers.
2. His appointment of ministers us like putting round pegs in square holes.
3. Faulty Forex policy.
4. Using his body language to drive foreign investors and many others.

Nigerians are not asking for Eldorado but what we want is to at least control this hardship.

sweetgala:
I've just returned from Nigeria not long ago and what I've determined is thus, while the opportunities for corruption are being effectively reduced and the consequences when caught increasing; the desire among many of the people to corruptfully enrich themselves has not gone, it's just the opportunities that have not presented themselves.

There needs to be a change of attitude among Nigerians , it's this lack of discipline that allows people to witness the true efforts of this current government and make silly complaints that does not allow them to reason and see the real nexus of this recession.

Buhari is not moving at the speed I expected of him but he sure is going on the right direction , I read today that the rice projects initiated by CBN in some states is coming good and rice has dropped to 13k for a 50kg bag

Soon with dangote taking point we would start import sunstitution of tomato paste and refined petroleum products. Thanks to the forward thinking of the likes of dangote Nigeria did not suffer the 1970s scenario of imported cement and demurrage

We need to lift our heads up and think differently

Sgwash:
Good and true, the recession was bound to happen, but the point still remains that the present government has done absolutely nothing to salvage the situation. That seem to be the problem.

dadaic:
I think we are all loosing a great and vital point to this. If the country has the ability to curtail 2 Presidents, the country still won't change. The effect will still be the same and the recession will surely happen. Things are bound to happen and we can't change them, we only can prevent them. Resources are limited, and the population is growing daily. How do we manage these resources with the ever-growing population. We don't have a clue of the number of persons living at a particular place, we have no clue of the number of resources that can be harnessed at different states, and yet we think either Jonathan or Buhari can make a change? I think not.

This is extreme. Getting a wedding in my country is very cheap. You can get married without paying a coin.

The secret is wedding committees. Established by peers. My former classmates have established several for our colleagues. It's a way of pulling together resources to fund a wedding. Then the budget is tailored to accommodate available funds.

It doesn't make economic sense to spend so much (on strangers mostly - because everyone is invited) and go into debt for the sake of just one day.

I've also attended a mass wedding - about 20 couples. AFTER the ceremony and sharing snacks, we went to the home of the particular couple that had invited us for a private feast.

shadeyinka:
Actually a few ladies have commented. And thank God you are one of them.



I hope I understand this especially the bolded. Is the church saying that they cannot wed a couple once they pay the bride price? I hope not.



The Lord bless us.

SirShymexx:
The real elephant in the room is feminism.

[/b] are folks who believe being protective of female children has something to do with patriarchy - and not their safety and well-being[b].

missjo:
This is the summary, I myself have had this exact thought.
What millennials now call overprotection was actually pretty standard way of upbringing in the 80s and early 90s.

SirShymexx:
Lol, I can't believe the both of you failed to cite the elephant in the room, especially in today's world where female kids need more protection/guidance than ever. The social media age where everything is anti-virtuousness and being slutty is now a way of life and anyone against it, is slut-shaming. And also an age where women are exposed to more harm than ever.

You both know what the elephant in the room is.

Gerrard59:
Yes. It might sound harsh, but that's it. Singapore did same, where are they today?
