He Hath Shewed Thee, O man, What Is Good; And What Doth The Lord Require Of Thee, But To Do justly, And to Love Mercy, And To Walk Humbly With Thy God.
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
I was in church once and the boy next to me, about 9 or 10, was just absolutely out of control. Single mom couldn't control him.
The boy was loud, interrupting the service, insulting to his mother, and absolutely refused to obey her gentle pleading.
He kept rolling around on the floor and knocking into me. I didn't say anything, but I was growing increasingly annoyed. We were in the back and this kid was damn near throwing a tantrum, just refusing to sit in his chair and instead laying underneath his seat, clinging to its legs while kicking.
Eventually, a father carrying his infant daughter was trying to walk through the aisle and the boy wouldn't move.
At that point, I had had enough. I yanked the chair off of the boy, set it down to the side, stared straight into his eyes, and gave him a direct order: "Stand up right now, get out of the aisle, and listen to your mother."
Kid was stunned. You could tell no one had ever spoken to him with that kind of directness and authority. He immediately obeyed without making a peep. Kept quiet for the rest of the service, too.
This is why discipline is important. The son had zero fear or respect of his mother. That's why he was acting like a brat in public to the detriment of everyone around him.
A few good spankings from a father would have put paid to that nonsense and brought happiness of the boy, his mother, and society at large.
Gentle parenting only works if there is a strong foundation of authority and respect from child to parent.
The greatest killer of many friendships is abusing access.
All my life till today I have never BORROWED.
From family. From friends from nobody except it’s for medical related purposes.
Even when I was poor poor.
Having a tough mentality since day one that hunger can’t kill me but fuel me to achieve better is one major thing that got me where I am today.
A lot of friendships have been destroyed because most of you have brought beg beg attitude into it while you just lay there and contribute absolutely nothing to the source of the income.
Do better this year
You cannot rehabilitate a person that beheads a person.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that offs people for sport.
You cannot rehabilitate someone that kidnaps and rapes children.
Another perfect day to clear up some common misconceptions.
Listen:
1. You don't NEED antibiotics when you have a cold.
2. You CANNOT shift anybody's womb. You cannot even reach it. Don't be stupid.
3. Diabetes is NOT caused by adding too much sugar to your garri.
4. For the last time, Typhoid is NOT malaria and malaria is not Tyforce. Stop diagnosing yourself of typhoid everytime you are ill or have a fever or stomach upset.
5. Hypertension ISN'T caused just by too much thinking.
6. You CANNOT "flush" ur system of illness by "pissing all the sickness away". They LIED to you..6. Your body doesn't need daily supplements. Just eat normally and healthy.
7. You do not need a special kind of tea to flush your system. You are not a public toilet.
8. Putting spoon in a person's mouth during a convulsion will NOT stop ANY convulsion.
9. Taking "Hampicloss" after sexual intercourse will NOT protect you from sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy.
10. Stop the daily douching and stop washing your vaginas with antiseptics. You are only exposing yourself to infections.
Oh... and this one is very important:
Slimming tea CANNOT remove all that fat. It will only make you purge till you are dehydrated (if you are very religious with it) and land you in the accident and emergency of the nearest teaching hospital to you. Go to a Gym, work out and DIET!
Pass it on if you care.
As a married woman, especially one with children, there are some decisions you will want to make in times when you are unhappy or upset with your husband. You will first;
Look at your mother - how did she live?
Look at your father - what values did he embody and pass down to you?
Look at yourself and how you've been holding on...
Look at your children...how will this affect them?
Then you simply shelve the decision. Some of the best decisions are often the most difficult ones and most often they come as a "NO."
A refusal to let your emotions, your greed, your selfishness and your need for revenge take the better part of you. It is not because your pain isn't valid, but your future is bigger than this moment.
You see, I did not consider the man in my listing. Yes.
Because the emotions of anger, revenge and most times hate would have beclouded our reasoning to the point where we wouldn't even care what our intended actions would make him feel. We just want to get back at him. It is only after we have retaliated that we come to our senses.
This is why a good support structure matters. A solid support structure isn't just financial, it is a structure that guides us even in our lowest moments and an anchor that gives stability in times when we feel we are drowning.
Agba Good Morning.
The society is so bad that people now boast of bad behaviors and morals.
My pov has always been that Husband should always draw the line between friendship and family. This is the beginning of the problem.
Any man that is sleeping with his friends wife will also sleep with his friends daughter if he has the opportunity and even if the wife finds out, she can't do anything about it.
Some Men are unnecessarily loud and one can't stop them from saying the dirty things they do but sensible men should draw the line.
I've been married for almost 20yrs, I wife has never received any of my friends in my absence. Once they come and I'm not she'll tell them "He's not in and you can't wait for him pls I'm busy inside and she's gone"
Some complain while others commended her, it was a law I established and it's binding to me too.
I don't receive Female guest in her absence, I don't carry females in my car when driving alone and I don't embrace women.
Until Men start drawing lines in their homes, so many bad things will continue to happen.
In your weakest moments, old temptations call out to you. Conquered demons surround you and try to seduce you in your suffering - offering you false comfort - the price is your soul - so you must say no! I will keep my soul safe! I will be good! And accept your pain.. gracefully
Even the quality of livestock we are consuming here is low quality.
Imagine eating the meat of a cow that entered a farm unlawfully and was cursed.
No wonder some of you behave like cursed people.
Let me tell you about naked mole rats. This live underground throughout their lives. They eat root, tubers and bulbs underground without leaving their burrow. When they come across a tuber that's big, they don't try to finish it at once.
They practice a form of sustainable harvesting.They bore into the tuber and eat little out of the softer interior flesh. They deliberately leave the thin outer epidermis (skin) mostly intact. This keeps the plant alive and healthy, allowing it to continue growing or regenerate new tissue. They'll dig around their tunnels to look for other roots and do this. In a few days, they'll go back to the big tuber, which would have regenerated to eat a little again. They're smart not to overwork the tuber or kill it. They farm and bill with sense.
Do the same wit your successful elder brother.
