Diaries \ CONSIDERING THE ' WHAT IF's' IN LIFE. \ You are very right..,in any plan A, there must be a plan B.,that is, there should always be an alternative. A wise man will not depend on one source of income, in case one fails him. I read the story of  man in this forum.,he said he was a teacher before the lockdown. And during the lockdown, he was stranded and needed another source of income, before this forum was introduced to him. That is the example of a man who depend wholly on one source of income. As I am, am a business man, I have my certificate and I also engage in investment. So, if one is shaken, I will survive with the other.  Imagine the time that sim registration was stopped.,if I had no alternative, It will be hard to even feed myself.  You know, this country has failed us already.,we graduated but no job. So a man gat to be wise. We should not depend on education alone, but also try other means. **Francis**
Fitness/Diet \ Proper fitness for the body \ You have mentioned it all..proper fitness for the body.  Our body becomes physically fit when we do everything moderately, that is, we Shouldn't over feed and over worked out body systems. Also, we should be mindful of what we eat. Like it once said that everything is not spiritual, we should also make sure we are Health physically, and medically. It is what we take in into our body system that determines our outward performance.  And also physical fitness consists of regular exercise in order to make our body look fit. Proper Fitness include both inward and outward maintenance. **Francis**
Education \ Education in Northern Nigeria: The Way Forward \ You are very right about this.. The rate at which the north are dying of illiteracy is so alarming. The mentality of most parents there that education is not relevance in the life of the children (especially the females), since there are farm works that fetch them money. They even give off their daughters in marriage at a very young age.,which result in child molestation. I think the boko harams are also suffering from illiteracy, because if they are well educated, it is very possible that they will get themselves a good job, rather than being a criminal.., because it is mainly unemployment that do cause crime act. I think this is mostly the area that the government needs to put into consideration. Our country is lacking so much, but if only the government can see to the need of education, it will be much better. At least, it will reduce crime rate. **Francis**
Religion \ Why do people abandon God \ Why do people abandon God?. Normally, reverse suppose to be the case.,it is only God that has the power, authority, and capable of abandoning the people(like he does to the people of Isrealites when they deprive from the ways of God), so also he can do to others who think they are the ones abandoning God. The Lord is cable of enthroning and dethroning kings.,he has ever has an alternate for replacement.  You abandoning God won't will never take anything from him, rather it destroys your life. There are several foolish reasons which make people to abandon God; *People do cry upon the Lord in times of their needs, lacks and wants.,but after which they are blessed, they don't have reasons to worship God anymore, so they abandon him.  *When man think he has enough wisdom to live his life, he abandon God. *After which God has deliver man from all evil, they abandon God...,and so on. **Francis**
Education \ Confidence Is king \ When we are talking about confidence, we should be specific about it. Confidence in a man is nothing without confidence in God. Self confidence will only bring disappointment if not with God.  When we think we are wise enough to deal with your problems yourself without consulting your creator, you are only calling failure upon yourself. It is very good for one to build self confidence, but that is when you don't feel too proud and think it is all by your knowledge or develop the mentality of "I too know". Confidence is good, but over confidence brings about destruction. **Francis**
Culture \ You deserve a good life \ You deserve to live a good life!. It is not until you are rich that you can live a good life., You can live a good life while you don't have enough.  You deserve to be happy even when you don't have much. Thinking does nothing in the body that to bring hypertension, and short of blood.,so it makes one unhealthy. It is not poverty that makes one look wrecked or miserable.,it is how you choose to live. There are ways you can make yourself happy without money. Happiness brings out a good flesh in us.,and by erasing sadness from our mind, we live healthy. **Francis**
Literature/Writing \ Conflict among people \ Conflict means disagreement, opposition, and contradiction between two more people. It is the incompatible feelings occurs when there is lack of unity, and thereby cooperation will be found wanted among them.  Conflict may occur during a meeting, in which people with different ideas finds it difficult to agree on a decision and conclusion. And the major things that cause this among the people is; high class, critizising, difference in level and exposure.  Conflict can also happen in a team work, in which one knows than the other.  Conflict therefore, causes destruction. **Francis**
Diaries \ IF... POWER OF WORDS \  The words of the tongue are so powerful and at the same time dangerous. So, we should always be mindful of what we say to people. Let's look at the WORD in the Bible, which is our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ was the word God used to create heaven, earth, and everything in it.,and it was manifested.,and this can also be practiced by we human. The word we say goes a long way, either positive or negative.  And speaking about the positive words of encouragement, God has designed it naturally for every individual. The word we say can heal and amend people's life. **Francis**
Religion \ Why pray to Jehovah \ The book if Jeremiah chapter 33:3, The Lord says, "call onto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee, great and mighty things, which thou knowest not". We are meant to call on Jehovah, and no other person. He has assured us that he will hear our prayers when we call on him. He is the only one that can solve our problems. He moved forward in the book of Matthew chapter 7:7, "ask, and it shall be given unto you, seek, and you shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you". If we call him in the proper way, he will definitely hear us and deliver us. **Francis**
Crimes \ Human Trafficking ? \ Human trafficking is a very bothering case that hasn't and can't be solved even by the law.  Human trafficking does not only based on prostitution alone, But is also meant for trafficking hard drugs, hard labour and robbering. Most traffickers  even use charm on the people so they won't run away. As you have said, human being cannot be satisfied, no doubt about it, Because every attempts to coupe the act are all in vein. Some human traffickers are not the bad people here, but some people who are so  desperate to get this money, voluntarily join them. Poverty, frustration, depression..,all these may cause human trafficking.  And since the government could not meet up with the needs of all the citizens, human trafficking will be so hard to coupe. The only thing that can stop this act is if there is Reformation, from both man and Devine. **Francis**
Religion \ Shunning laziness \ Interesting!! This is a bitter truth about laziness. Lazy people are poorest people on Earth, Because they fail to work when there is time.  Lazy people are so full of complaints and murmur. They always want to be comfortable, but can't work for it. Those are the set that do take short cut to success. They have no other work than to sleep, wake up, eat and have fun. They don't like being disturbed from sleep.  Their poem goes like this; Wake up from your sleep, Stand up, you lazy man. The cock crows, a lazy man hisses and looks at the clock, As if morning shouldn't have come. Lazy man, look at your mate struggling hard to make ends meet; business men/women, traders and employees. So what is your own, you lazy man. Stand up, Don't be lazy, Because one's palm does not deceives. Yes, laziness must be shunned in order to reduce crime rate in our society. **Francis**
Romance \ Be Honest \  "Be honest about your intention towards a girl"..who does that??. Even when the serpent wanted to deceive Eve, he didn't tell her his true attention., She don't even know it was the devil. Did you think if he had told her his that, "I am a devil, I came to deceive you", do you think Eve would have fall for it.,she would definitely resist him. That is how men who have such ambition are to the women.,"a devil". You can't tell her you just want to have sex with her and she will dance to your tone.,when she is not a prostitute. Even if she also has the same intension as yours, she will definately give it to you, so you don't need to say it at first. she might not feel so comfortable with you saying such thing to her, and she might just take you for a nonentity. And besides, there are different kinds of girls outside there.,we don't know who is who. So best thing is to erase such from your mind. **Francis**
Religion \ Faith \ Faith is one of the major thing a Christian should have. A Christian who lacks is prone to disappointment and failure.  One thing I believe is that with faith, we can move mountains, and lot more. A believer who compromise just because of the challenges he/she is facing is nothing but a failure. I watched a movie about a Christian couple who are facing a financial problem. The wife manage to get a job as a receptionist while the husband is yet to have a job, and they are both graduate. This couple had a strong faith in God that one day, they things will change for better.  They fasted and prayed day and night, but all they could get is disgrace from their landlady who frustrate the hell out of them everyday. They didn't because of that change or commit sin. The husband do go out to look for job but to no avail. They hardly feed themselves two square meal a day, and so difficult for them to take care of their daughter. Just because of money, they couldn't dare to give birth to another child. So one day, the landlady came to tell them that house rent has increased from 100 to 200 thousand naira. Hmm, this is enough reason for a man to loose faith, but still they stand on their faith and put everything in God's hand. The wife colleague at work almost manipulated her brain to sleep with the boss friend for money, but as she wanted to make the move, God revealed what could have happened if she had done that.  So, a day before the rent is due, they were notify of the misunderstandings between the landlady and her brother, who she shared the property with, and so no tenant should pay house rent until further notice.  When you stand without falling, great things are bound to happen. **Francis**

Phones/Computers/Internet \ The effects of modern technology on this generation \ As technology serves a lot of purposes, at the same time, it has its own disadvantages. I just think that too much of something or greediness in that thing that cause disaster. Even too much of food has its own repercussion.,and so on. Technology is good but people seems to use it in a wrong way, they abuse it in an abnormal and illegal way. The modern technology affect the youth so badly that they don't have any other work than to busy with phones or system throughout the day., There they got so many wrong ideas and negative impacts, which leads to high rate of crime act in the society. **Francis**
Politics \ IS NIGERIA A DEMOCRATIC STATE OR OTHERWISE? \ Our country claims to be ruling in a democratic way, but we all know that is just a slip on tongue. In fact I don't even know what type of government am to call it, it is all complicated!. The Democratic rules have been put aside, and self rules are now developed by the government. Citizens are now denied of their rights in the country.,the law maker are now the law breaker.,our leaders are now the top criminals in the country.,the vote of citizens no more counts during election; yet they claim it is free and fair!. The fail to perform their responsibilities on the citizens and yet we are still tormented by them. Why can't they just leave us alone rather than adding to our problem. Corruption has made the leaders heart, a place of rest., making money has being their priority, and yet they claim they care for the citizens.  Democracy is indeed found wanted in our country. **Francis**
Careers/Employment/Vacancies \ Skill Acquisition: A must for everyone? \ Skills acquisition is not a must for everyone, since it is not a rule or law of a land.,but it is so painful that many hasn't discover flexibility and countless benefits that is in skills acquisition., especially in time like this. Skills acquisition enhances mobilization in the society, and reduces crime rate in the country. Education on itself, gives a light on how to organize and maintain your business or organization. It is true most parents don't look the other way, and just focus on academic excellence of their children.  I have seen so many people who later regret of not learning skills before going to school., Even some of my friends are still out there looking for job after our youth service. If not for help I received to start a business, I would have become a street walker. So, I will advise the youth of nowadays to take skills acquisition serious as they take their studies. **Francis**
Family/Parenting \ Paternity fraud Vs cheating \ This is a critical issue affecting most families across the world. Paternity fraud may be limited but the rate cheating in both genders nowadays, is uncontrollable. Reducing the amount of DNA test will not only expose the deeds of some married women, but also coupe the act of cheating in most married men., because married women won't go to them anymore and also their conscience won't cease to disturb them. So, I will go for the reduction of DNA test fee, so every man can have access to it. But one thing I still want you to realise is that, some women don't do this intentionally., It may be their husband is impotent or his sperm couldn't make a child, or maybe he is not satisfying sexually.,walk up to him, tell him how you feel about the situation., if it is problem of a child, you can agree to adopt a child, and if it is to satisfy you, he would adjust himself. And if you aren't satisfy with his response, there is still time to break up, rather than cheating on him. **Francis**
Culture \ Just Begin \ The great people today starts from somewhere.,there was a time when they also face so many challenges in their life, but the fact is that they were just beginning, and the end of fruitful. Mostly, our problem is that, we are afraid to embark on a long journey, because we think we may collapse on the road. You can't be given birth to today, and expect to grow into an adult that same day.,it is a gradual process. Once you are faith in God who you are serving and yourself, there is no point to be afraid of taking a step to that road of success.  Even though you have nothing to survive on the road, blessings will surely come your way if you believe. Since it is God that approves that admission of yours, you don't have to panic, God will surely finish his work. You just have to accept the beginning, for a miraculous ending.  **Francis**
Education \ Importance of cooperation \ Cooperation and unity sounds similar in meaning, but cooperation may occur between two people or group of people due to the extensive persuasions.,or it may occur just to achieve a particular mission, or project like you said. While unity is the total cooperation, togetherness, with love and passion. Although, cooperation can result in successful mission, but it is just for a purpose. Cooperation may not involve familiarity, different people can come together to agree on a plan, for a specific purpose. Even those who are a in grudges needs cooperation in order to succeed. So, that is when the importance of cooperation comes in; it performs the act of unity. Although, cooperation may be for a period, but it gives the chances of unity. Cooperation is very important in order to achieve a particular aim. Lack of cooperation brings about misunderstandings and it leads to failure. **Francis**
