Cleavages Versus Crack Cleavages

Surfing through my News Feed in Sandy's Zoom Facebook page, I came across this wedding picture which got me mad. What is really happening to this generation? Is it civilization that is eroding our ‪#‎morality‬? Has our morality lost its saltiness? Or is this the direct result of our turning our backs on GOD?

Excuse it as much as you want; the fact is that habits like this starts with the "harmless" exposure of the cleavage and the crack cleavage (in the bid not to become a 'Mary Amaka' or wear a 'turtle neck'). But a simple rule of the thumb we must always adapt to is: 'In any situation you find yourself, it is not about who is right but what is right'. This means that you don't do things because other did it but because your conscience certifies it right.

No wonder the bible admonished us that the: 'Fear of the LORD is the foundation of true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline' (Proverbs 1:7).

You are saved today because some cared, it is your turn to care for a lost soul today. You may have to choose between spreading LIFE or LUST.

BoKo Haram Sponsors Revealed

The #BrinBackOurGirls fight is getting more interesting with the dawn of every new day confirming the famous assertion that "there is God ooooooooooooooooooooo!".

According to 'Nigeria We Serve' an NTA Channel 2 television programme, Stephen Davis, the negotiator the FGN contracted to facilitate the release of the Chibok girls has named the sponsors of 'Boko Haram'.

Below is the full extract after some famous quotes as to the possible sponsors of Boko Haram:

..."Arrest Alimodu Sheriff and former Chief of Army Staff" - Stephen Davis


..."Stephen Davis has just named Alimodu Sheriff and Lt-Gen Ihejirika as the brains behind Boko Haram" - EL-RUFAI

... "The Commanders and El-Rufai know where the problem is, he should stop deceiving Nigerians by trying to divert attention" - LT-GEN IHEJIRIKA

In a recent interview with Arise News TV, Australian hostage negotiator, Stephen Davis, hired by the Federal Government months back to negotiate with the terrorist cell Boko Haram, for the release of the abducted Chibok girls, has mentioned former Borno State Governor, Alimodu Sheriff as a sponsor of the terrorist group, Boko Haram. He also said that an unnamed past Chief of Army Staff who was sacked by President Jonathan was also a sponsor of the group.

The A, B, C, Of Effective Communication

Communication is simply the act of transferring information from one point to another through a medium. The information may be transmitted:

-        vocally (using voice);

-  written (paper, graphics, or online);

- non-verbally (using body language, gestures etc).

Since #Communication by default is an essential part of our life; we should pay attention and learn how to communicate effectively. Below are some guidelines to help you develop this skill:

1.          Seek Knowledge: Knowledge is defined as:

-        the facts, information, and skills acquired through experience or education;

-        the theoretical or practical understanding of a subject or

-        the awareness or familiarity gained by experience of a fact or situation.

Make it a lifestyle to learn something new every day.  This disposition alone in some many ways will make you purposeful in life.

2.    Take Time To Articulate What You Want To Communicate: Be reminded that communication is the process of transferring signals or messages from a sender to a receiver.  It is the key mechanism we use to establish and modify relationships, so learn to think through your thoughts (what you want to say) before saying them.  Here lies the secret between being ‘foolish’ and ‘wise’; ‘making things clear’ and ‘being misunderstood’; etc.

The Power Of Effective Communication

The capacity to #Communication effectively in social and corporate circles is the key to building a great personality.

Whether it is in relationships, at school or at work; communication is very important and rudimentary to success.

Hence being able to communicate effectively is the most important of all life skills you should aspire to get. Also, the fact that more than 90% of relationship problems bother on COMMUNICATION buttress the point above.

Please you may want to: "Pay attention to how you communicate before how you communicate derails your relationships".

The Power Of Encouragement

Why not explore the #thepowerofencouragement today? Determine to be a blessing just as this Angel (on our Forum) was to me this morning.

Wear a smile and pass it on to others.

WHAT QUALIFICATIONS DO YOU NEED TO ENTER A RELATIONSHIP

I have a very honest question that has been bothering my mind for some time now. And I will like to pour it out in the form of a question in case someone out there may have an answer or answers to my questions.

That question is: 'What qualifications, I need to enter into a relationship'.

Please I will need you to understand this simple honest question in the context I have been looking at it:

• You get a First School Leaving Certificate to get into the Secondary School;
• You must write WAEC or NECO to qualify for post secondary Education;
• You must write JAMB to get into the University; 
• You need a degree to get a job;
• You need expertise to get qualification or certification in most professional bodies;
• You must attend a driving School & get a 'Driving License' to drive a vehicle. 
• Etc

In lieu of all the above, I am asking this sincere question: 'WHAT EXAM DO I HAVE TO WRITE, WHAT GRADE DO I NEED TO GET AND WHAT QUALIFICATION MUST I ACQUIRE TO GET INTO A RELATIONSHIP' (eg. marriage relationship)

I kindly beg for honest and sincere answers ... please help out!

Empowering Yourself through Good Manners

No matter what you choose to call it (manners, courtesy, etiquette, or civility), you can associate it with leadership. When you take the lead in putting people at ease and making every situation pleasant, you exhibit poise. Poise comes from being self-confident.

In today's climate, etiquette and civility are sometimes seen as snobbery - the character or quality of being a snob (arrogant, proud or haughty). Others view polite behavior as a sign of weakness, and some professionals actually believe that it's impossible to get to the top while being gracious and polite. None of this is true. Knowing how and when to ask for what you want in a polite manner means empowerment.

When you need to ask for something, be sure to remember the following:

1. Speak up: Even if you feel intimidated or nervous, you can get around these roadblocks that undermine your efforts by speaking with confidence.
2. Invite reactions: Make it easy for your allies to respond to your request or expectation. Be open to constructive criticism.
3. Be specific: Focus clearly on what you really want or need, and ask for it. You may even want to jot down a few notes or rehearse mentally before making your request, especially if you're about to ask someone on a date.
4. Don't undermine yourself: Adding on demeaning tag beginnings or endings — such as, "I know this is a stupid question, but. . ." or "I'm sorry to have to ask you this.. ." — makes you sound like you lack self-confidence.

Being assertive doesn't equal rudeness. Take responsibility for nurturing and maintaining your own self-esteem. When you're competent in using basic assertive skills, you can feel confident to handle most situations and can achieve the respect you deserve.

Contact Without Contamination: God’s Relationship Model

Life consists of tiny steps along the path of our destinies. We can actualize or mar these destinies by the quality of the relationships we keep. Success in life depends to some extent upon the support and help we get from other people (no one makes it alone).
 

Relationship exists between a husband and wife; parents and children; brother and sister; colleagues; and between friends (who could be of same sex or the opposite sex). One of the greatest problems that face relationships in our modern society is the issue of ‘Compromise’. This is so because of the effect of the ungodly and permissive nature of the system (society) we are in today.

Every young person going into a relationship must understand that the foundation of any meaningful and sincere relationship is LOVE. Not just any kind of love but the agape love (God’s kind of love). Relationships built on lust and infatuation cannot but lead to compromise and contamination. When a relationship stands on the proper foundation, God’s kind of love, each of the relating partners seek the highest good of the other. In this way there is a mutual building up rather that a tearing down. Any relationship that does not build up or edify the ones involved therein does not stand on a proper foundation such a relationship should be discontinued.
