The easy solution to farmer-herdsmen clashes

Agriculture is the planting of crops and rearing of animals. Even if
there are enough white-collar jobs to go round and we all get 6-digit
salaries, we would all starve without agriculture. Imagine getting to
the market and meeting only fellow salary earners but no food to buy.
The farmer-herdsmen clashes are therefore highly unfortunate and
should be eradicated before everybody runs to Libya. How will young
people be encouraged to stay here and farm in an atmosphere of danger?

There is an easy solution to the problem. Cattle are reared in ranches
in developed countries and they produce more meat and milk than our
cattle.

The money used for buying AK-47 rifles should be used to buy lawn
mowers, fuel (to power them) and trucks (for transporting grass).
Herdsmen should leave their cattle in ranches and go around in trucks
with mowers to cut weeds and grasses, pile them into their vehicles
and transport them to their cattle. For example, school football
fields and the space between the lanes of dual carriageways across
Nigeria contain plenty of grass to be mowed for cattle. (Herding
cattle across expressways to eat the grass can obstruct traffic and
cause terrible accidents). I'm sure all these cost less than an AK-47
rifle.

Who will not be pleased at finding his farm (or house surroundings)
weeded free of charge without a single crop trampled or eaten? (The
herdsmen will also be getting free grass in return). On the other
hand, cattle bred in one place put on more flesh and produce more
milk (like European cows) than cows herded around which burn up what
they eat as they walk about from place to place. They will also be
better guarded in ranches against cattle rustlers than in the open
forests. So it is a win-win situation for both parties.


Only humans can differentiate between crops and weeds; cows and other
animals can't. No matter how much you beat them into order,some of
them will still eat or trample on crops.

We need both meat and crops in this country. Let's put on our thinking
caps and prove to Donald Trump that we are not a "shithole country".

JOKE OF THE DAY: Every wedding has objectors.

                                         Nobody is perfect. There is no wedding that doesn't have objectors. Every married couple was just lucky that none of the objectors heard of their wedding plans until it was too late.   Wedding banns are normally proclaimed in churches or pasted on registry notice boards. Also, the couple-to-be would give out their invitation cards (which include only their surnames and other names but no photos) to their friends , co-workers, etc about a month or two in advance.   Imagine a prospective groom or bride posting the notice in the photo below on Facebook 2 months to the wedding date.   I'm sure the couple's Facebook inboxes will be full of objections within a week. There is no adult male or female who has not broken some hearts before getting married. Even a virgin couple would have offended some people in other ways (e.g. by turning down their advances) and would be lied against , using a pseudonym Facebook account.

How to draw Maths diagrams with WPS office.

Even if you don't have a computer ,you can still draw Maths diagrams
with WPS Office on your Android smartphone . Download Photo Wonder and
the latest version of WPS office (which has "Sharing by Screenshots"
on its Writer) from Google Play. Then follow the steps in the picture
below ( which was created using the same procedure I am about to teach
you).

The borrower is the slave of the lender (Proverbs 22:7)

Most of us use mobile phones and recharge them or borrow credit once
in a while. These mobile networks have a lot to teach us about the
evils of borrowing. Let me use Glo and Airtel as examples.


When you borrow N100 credit from Glo,you will be given only N85. That
is, N15 is charged as interest . If you use *323*pin# to load N100
credit, you will get an empty main balance plus N400 bonus, but Glo
will not deduct your debt from the bonus. It will wait for you to dial
*123*pin# (getting N100 instead of N400 ) before clearing your debt.
In short, you have lost N315 extra (N15 interest + N300 from bonus)
because you borrowed N100 from Glo.


The same applies to Airtel. Dialing *555*pin# gives you 6 times
your recharge as bonus, but Airtel will not deduct your N100 debt from
the N600 bonus. It will wait for you to dial *126*pin# (getting N100
instead of N600) . Mind you, you were given only N90 out of the N100
you borrowed. Therefore, the ripoff = N10 interest + N500 from bonus =
N510.


You can continue getting bonuses without paying your debt, but you
won't be allowed to borrow when you are in an emergency. It may be
months later, when you have forgotten the debt .


Let us try to avoid borrowing as much as we can. May God help us.

The bus stop doesn’t matter; your relationship with the driver does .

A boy stood on a sidewalk waiting for a bus.
A man walking by spotted the boy and gave him some gentle advice.
"Son," he said, "if you're waiting for the bus ,you need to move to
the street corner. That's where the bus stops for passengers."
"It's OK," said the boy. "I'll just wait right here and the bus will
stop for me."
The man repeated his advice, but the boy never moved.
Just then, the bus appeared.
Amazingly, the bus pulled over to where the boy stood and he hopped in.
The man on the sidewalk stood speechless.
The boy turned around in the doorway and said,
"Mister, I knew the bus would stop here, because the bus driver is my dad!"
When you've got a relationship with the bus driver, you don't need a bus stop.
If you've given your heart to the King of Kings, you're in a royal
family of unspeakable proportions.
Today I would like to remind you that when you know the Driver of your
life you can take the bus of life anywhere.
He will stop and pick you up where people think it is not possible.
Some are thinking that you are not in the right frame of mind, or the
right position or the right career to succeed but this will change
when the success giver is your father and friend.
Whether you are unemployed, broke, single or married, or childless or
divorced, or widowed.
What matters is that you know Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above what we can think or even imagine.
However, the BIG question is :
"Is the Driver your Father?"
"Are you still His child? You can only get that privilege if He is your Father.
He can bypass protocols because you are His child.
He has done it before.
He can do it AGAIN and AGAIN.
And guess what?
It does not matter what anybody feels or thinks.
Enjoy the ride with your Father.
