HOW TO INSTILL MANNERS IN YOUR CHILDREN

1. When entering the house greet your children or even hug them. This should help develop their sense of love and self worth.

2. Be good to your neighbors and never backbite. Never speak ill of other drivers when on the road. Your children would listen, absorb and emulate.

3. When calling your parents, encourage your children to speak to them. When visiting your parents take your children with you. The more they see you take care of your parents the more they will learn to take care of you.

4. When driving them to school, don’t always play albums or CD's in the car. Rather, tell them some motivational stories yourself. This will have a greater impact – trust me!

5. Read to them a short story and even a scripture a day – it doesn’t take much time, but very good in creating strong bonds and wonderful memories.

6. Comb your hair, clean your teeth and wear presentable clothes even if sitting at home and not going out for the day. They need to learn that being clean and tidy has nothing to do with going out!

7. Try not to blame or comment on every word or action they say or do. Learn to overlook and let go sometimes. This certainly builds their self confidence.

8. Ask your children’s permission before entering their rooms. Don’t just knock and enter, but then wait for a verbal permission. They will learn to do the same when wanting to enter your room.

9. Apologize to your children if you made a mistake. Apologizing teaches them to be humble and polite.

10. Don’t be sarcastic or make fun of their views or feelings, even if you “didn’t mean it” and was “only joking”. It really hurts.

11. Show respect to your children’s privacy. Its important for their sense of value and self-esteem.

12. Don’t expect that they will listen or understand the first time. Don’t take it personal. But be patient and consistent.

13. Pray with them. Show them how to pray. Lead by example.

14. In addition, ask them to discuss their daily plans after the morning prayers. Children without concrete daily plans usually join others in executing theirs. They fall easy to peer pressure.

15. Hold them and bless them specially every morning. And pray with them before going to bed in the evening or at night.

A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to; 2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes. 3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner. 4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem; 5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public; 6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time; 7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you....

The Rise and Fall of AfroBeat

L Like any music genre, is influenced by a multitude of factors including cultural shifts, socio-political dynamics, and changes in artistic trends. Afrobeat, a genre that originated in West Africa in the late 1960s and was popularized by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, experienced significant growth and international recognition during its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, Fela Kuti's revolutionary lyrics, infectious rhythms, and fusion of traditional African music with jazz, funk, and highlife elements resonated with audiences around the world. Afrobeat became not only a genre of music but also a symbol of resistance against oppression and a platform for social and political commentary. However, Afrobeat's popularity waned in the following decades due to various factors. One significant factor was Fela Kuti's death in 1997, which marked the end of an era and led to a decline in mainstream attention towards Afrobeat. Additionally, the rise of other music genres a...

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

1. Once upon a time I met a man who told me that telling the truth and making someone cry, is better than telling a lie and making someone smile and happy. 2. He said to me your true friends are those who will never avoid you just because they have met new friends. 3. As he kept on speaking to me, he said If some people do not appreciate and value my presence, I should work hard to make them value and appreciate my absence. 4. He said I must not be angry with anyone who is quiet on me because there must be a reason why they are quiet, and that I will get to know the reason later. 5. He told me it is always better to be a blessing to others at all times than to be a burden at all times. 6. He said I must learn to forgive others not because they deserve it but because I deserve the peace that comes with forgiveness. 7. I must know that everyone deserves a second chance and many more chances if they ask for forgiveness, but I must not loose my guard over their intentions....
