THREE TYPICAL STORIES IN NIGERIA

(*** True Stories ***)


A lady was recommended for a job in Canada. Her flight ticket was paid and she went for the interview, got to the interview venue and sat with the others. The interviewers saw her and somehow they were disgusted at her. She was chewing gum complacently. They summarily dismissed her and sent her back. A day later the man who recommended her gave her a call asking why she misbehaved at the interview hall. She was shocked at the query and asked him how. He recounted that the interviewers called him and reported that she was uncouth, chewing gum. She lamented that she never chewed gum. Infact, she was fasting prior to the interview and had been so for a week to the D-day. She has never been known to chew gum. (Village people at work)


A man has been looking for job for a while. He went for an interview in Lagos and he performed so well that the Project Manager noted him and even gifted him several face masks. They promised to contact him. During this lockdown they had been calling him for over a week and they claim his number has not been going through. His phone has been ON consistently. When the HR finally got through to him she complained that his number has been unreachable for days and she had been calling him more than three times every day as she was under pressure from the Project Manager who had been calling her every day to ask about him before they pick someone else.

A professor based in Maryland, USA has been out of the country for over 15 years now. He has PhD in four different disciplines and is generally considered successful in his field. Last year, he suddenly decided to return back to the country. His return was celebrated at his Lagos residence. After the little get together with relatives, his family were shocked at his announcement. He wanted to go back to his village permanently to become a palm wine tapper. They thought he was joking but after two months, he actually relocated to his village and bought bicycle and palm wine tapping equipment to begin plying his new trade. The matter is still causing waves. (Village people at work) 




So, it's easier to believe in the power of village people than it is to believe in the supreme supernatural being (God)!


If you are an AFRICAN and live in Nigeria and you do not believe in God, you are a compound FOOL! This is not an insult but the Word of God: "Fools say in their hearts, There is no God" (Psalm 14:1)

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE

An unhealthy lifestyle will raise your blood pressure over time. And the higher your blood pressure becomes, the higher your risk of having a stroke or heart attack in the future. But the good news is that if you have high blood pressure, healthy changes will help to bring it down. And you don't have to wait until you have high blood pressure to make healthy lifestyle changes. The more you can reduce your blood pressure, the lower your risk of a heart attack or stroke will be. 1. Blood Pressure Diet - Eat less salt Too much salt raises your blood pressure, so it is important to eat as little as possible. In fact, some people with high blood pressure may be able to avoid blood pressure medicines by cutting down on salt. Most of the salt you eat is not what you add to your food, but is in prepared foods like bread, breakfast cereals and ready meals. Don’t add salt to food when cooking or at the table. When shopping for food, check the labels and choose low-salt o

CAUTION! WHY THE RACE TO MARRY?

Hello friends, One of the greatest experiences a person could gain in this world is one that comes from the relationship of having a HOME - a FAMILY! One of the greatest failings in gleaning this great experience is seeing it as a destination and not a journey. A family is not an achievement! It is not a result! A symbol of hierarchy or status! It is not a possession! A product or reward of years of work or turmoil! Thinking it is the above is one of the underlying factors for a lot of marital failures. Do NOT get married because: Your friends are getting married You are of age. You have acquired "sufficient" wealth for it. You deserve it. In this part of the world, students are used to the process of a result from an examination after a term of schooling. Or for workers, the process of a wage after a month or period of work. Marriage should not be seen in this light. Bone of my bones! Flesh of my flesh! My very soul-mate! The one that completes me! The one person wh

1. It's natural: If you as a man are the stronger vessel, it is natural that you should shoulder more responsibility so that the weaker vessel won't crumble under the weight. It's almost like you were built for it. 2. It's a bonding opportunity: When you undertake domestic chores at home, your children see it and are motivated to help out thus ensuring some amazing family bonding time. 3.  It's romantic: There isn't a woman alive who will not get under immense romantic pressure when her man takes or shoulders her stress away. Gratitude is a nice feeling that often builds up to a nice night! 4.  It truly helps the woman: When she gets the much needed time to rest, she can finally look as beautiful as you met her. You truly can't expect her to look trim and sexy when she's always stressed out as a result of too much chores. 5.  It's unifying: Sharing in simple tasks like bathing the children, doing the d
