One time in Children's Church I was teaching 5-7 y/o on the Temptation of Jesus I asked the kids if they had ever been tempted and to tell me what it meant to be tempted. They all chorused yes to being tempted, but it was their definition of temptation that I found interesting.

@Adunniolaide02 @layoproperty It's unfair that he's giving her the silent treatment because she wouldn't do what he wants when she's clearly uncomfortable. It's manipulative and coercive, and already indicative of his character. She should be wise.

I am c0nfused and my heart is heavy. Please, I need your honest advice before I make a mistake that might haùnt me forever. My husband has suddenly caught the "Japa" fever. All he talks about now is relocating to the UK. He says Nigeria is finishing him and he needs to leave for the sake of our two children. He has done all the research and says he has a solid plan, but the only thing standing in his way is the money for the visa, flight, and initial "proof of funds." Now, here is where the problem is. My late father left a very prime piece of land for me. I am an only child. My mother is very old and that land is the only inheritance and "fallback" plan I have in this world. My husband is pleading with me to sell the land to fund his relocation. His plan is that he will go first, get stable, find a job, and then send for me and the kids in a year or two. He says the money from that land is our "seed" for a better life in Europe. He told me, "If you truly love me and want our children to have a future, you will support your husband. Is it not better to have a husband in the UK than a piece of bush in Nigeria? I told my mother She said the decision is mine, but I should remember that once that land is gone, I have nothing else left to my name. I love my husband, but my mind is disturbing me. I’ve heard so many stories of men who go abroad and forget their families, or find "new" wives just to get papers. But he says I’m being "old-fashioned" and that he would never do that to me. He’s even started acting cold toward me because I haven't said yes yet. He says I am the one holding back the family’s progress. Please, what should I do? Should I sell my only inheritance for a promise of a life abroad? Is it right for a man to ask his wife to sell her father's land for him to travel? I told him that I don't want to sell it you started giving me attitude and stop talking to me for like 2 months now me and my husband has not talked to each other I want peace in my home I don't know what to do I even told him that he can say he's somebody he's telling me that they are six in number and the land they have they will need to start sharing it that that will take time I need advice please god bless you all. ©️ Olabode Rose

Father, please don't let me be that child You ask, "where are you?" Not cos You don't know where I am. But cos like Adam, I may be doing things that'd make me want to hide from You. May I remember to run towards, and not away from you. Your presence is my hiding place.

I worked 20 years for a child sex trafficking rescue group. I want you to know this: 90% of Lost Children Are Found Within 30 Minutes. That statistic should both comfort you and wake you up. Most lost children are found quickly. But the ones who aren’t? They usually made one mistake. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: It’s often the exact thing most parents teach them. We tell our kids: “If you get lost, come find me.” It sounds logical. It sounds empowering. It’s WRONG! The Mistake Most Lost Children Make: When children realize they’re separated, they do three things almost automatically: They panic. They wander. They try to find you. Every step makes them harder to locate. From a search standpoint, movement creates chaos. Parents retrace their steps. Security scans zones. Staff lock down areas. Search works best when movement stops. When a child keeps walking, they move outside the original search radius. Helpers are looking where they were last seen — not where they’ve wandered. Stillness increases probability. Movement expands the problem. The first lesson is not “go find me.” It’s this: Stop. Stay. Yell. Why Stillness Wins: Think like a search team. If a child stays put: Parents can retrace steps. Security can scan systematically. Helpers converge to one fixed location. The search radius remains small. If a child keeps moving: The search area expands. Adults pass each other. Missed connections multiply. Minutes stretch into hours. Stillness keeps the math on your side. Teach Them Who to Approach: The second mistake we make as parents? We say, “Find an adult.” Not any adult. Not the nearest stranger. Children need a filter. Teach them to look for, if at all possible: A mother with children. Caregivers who already have kids with them are statistically among the safest people to approach in public settings. They are visible, stationary, and more likely to engage quickly. It’s a clear, concrete instruction. Children don’t process vague categories like “safe adult.” They process visuals. “Find a mom with kids” is visual. A Phone Only Helps If the Number Is Known: We often assume phones solve everything. They don’t — unless your child can use one. Even young children can memorize a 10-digit phone number with repetition. But you must train it. Practice it like a song. Sing it in the car. Chant it at bedtime. Turn it into rhythm. Repetition becomes recall. In an emergency, recall matters more than theory. The Code Word Rule: One more layer of protection. Choose a private family code word. Something only your household knows. If someone approaches and says: “Your mom sent me.” Your child asks: “What’s the code word?” No word. No go. This simple rule eliminates manipulation attempts instantly. It gives your child agency without requiring them to evaluate character. Real Safety Is Training — Not Luck! We don’t get safer by hoping. We get safer by practicing. Teach: • Phone number • Code word • Stop, stay, yell • Find a mom with kids Multiple skills. Simple instructions. Clear visuals. Five minutes of training can replace hours of panic. This isn’t about fear. It’s about preparation. Because when a child gets separated, the clock starts. And what they do in the first minute determines what the next thirty look like. That’s real protection.

360 years. That is the collective Excel experience of my team of 30 people, in one room. I have personally used Excel for 20 years. Since the very beginning. We’ve spent decades "crushing it" when it comes to financial modeling. We knew every shortcut. Every nested formula. We thought we had reached the peak of efficiency. (They are better then me, just to admit) But I have something to tell you. The game just changed. In my opinion, we are witnessing the biggest innovation since Excel was first released. It’s not a new function or a Power BI update. It’s Claude. Specifically, Claude’s ability to build and manipulate Excel models. For 40 years, the "manual labor" was the tax we paid. Hardcoding formulas. Spending hours formatting cells. Manually linking sheets and building tables from scratch. That era is over. Claude can now handle the heavy lifting of building the structure, the logic, and the formatting in minutes. But here is the part that really surprised me: It actually understands accounting. It understands the relationship between a Balance Sheet and a Cash Flow statement. It understands how operating drivers flow into a P&L. We aren't replacing our expertise. We are finally liberating it. Instead of spending 80% of our time building the model, we spend 100% of our time analyzing the results. If you want this Prompt and Excel model, just drop a comment and I’ll send it to you. (Important: follow me so I can DM you!)

@asemota The Bible... starting from Genesis. There's plenty to pique her curiosity and her imagination. And there's a lot of drama too...real life stories.

I had an interesting conversation with my 10-year-old daughter yesterday. She stated without any ambiguity that she hated learning about anything from the past because it didn't excite her. This was when my wife shared photos of her visit to some European historical sites.

@Ucheyyy2 @GOkeoma @NonyOkafor @Big_Mck No honey for babies please. 🙏🏾

@GOkeoma @NonyOkafor @Big_Mck You can make yours at home by mixing cocoa powder with milk and honey for your babies . That way you control the amount of sugar they consume

Aproko Doctor once collected money to promote Ajinomoto. He was advising that we ditch our normal salt and use Ajinomoto. That’s when I knew he could never be trusted. Voices like his are for sale. One lady actually called him out, but that didn’t generate the same public interest as GMO has, because some of us were still giving him the benefit of the doubt. But as soon as we were fed up with his hypocrisy; romance with Bill Gates and GMO & started (rightly) calling him out, guess what? We have become a mob. You see how manipulative these people are. Trying to paint us the bad guys by calling us mob. But no be we send Aproko to go meet Bill Gates. Everything he’s promoting, no be we send am o make him dey promote them, but na we be mob. Na make una dey see o.
