There Might Have Been A Goliath Generation Afterall.

Before You Criticize Someone

Before you criticize someone, 

you should walk a mile in their shoes. 

That way, when you criticize them, 

you're a mile away and you have their shoes. 

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. 

Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat 

and drink beer all day. 

If you lend someone a thousand Naira and never see that person again, 

it was probably worth it. 

Never miss a good chance to shut up. 

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you. 

Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. 

Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. 

Do not walk beside me, either; 

just leave me the heck alone. 

It's always darkest before dawn. 

So if you're going to steal your neighbour's newspaper, 

that's the time to do it. 

Don't be irreplaceable; if you can't be replaced, 

you can't be promoted. 

No one is listening until you make a mistake. 

Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. 

It may be that your sole purpose in life is 

simply to serve as a warning to others. 

It is far more impressive when others 

discover your good qualities without your help. 

If you tell the truth, 

you don't have to remember anything. 

Some days you are the bug, 

some days you are the wind shield. 

Good judgement comes from bad experience, 

and a lot of that comes from bad judgement. 

There are two theories to arguing with women, 

Neither one works. 

Generally speaking, you aren't learning much 

when you are talking or when your mouth is moving instead of your ears listening. 

Never miss a good chance to shut up. 

Experience is something you don't get 

until just after you need it.

How to send money to your friend via Facebook messenger?
Messenger’s payment service was design to use in a straight forward and
instinctive way. Just Users link their debit or credit card to their Facebook
profile and they’re prepared to begin sending (or accepting) payment. After
linking their payment details users will see a little “$” symbol over the
keyboard that can be utilized to open the payment screen. It’s just a simple
issue of entering the amount and sends it to your friends, after that whom
you send amount he will Received money may take up to 3 days to appear
in bank account. So users have to wait for 3 day/- for receive payment.
As indicated by Facebook product manager Steve Davis, once the amount
has been sent, it is transferred via Facebook who holds the payment for
quite a long time, and then sent specifically to the recipient’s bank. If the
recipient’ has not set up Messenger payment service, Facebook will hold
the payment until they link a payment service to their Facebook account.
• Begin a chat session with your friend in fb chat messenger.

time).
• Taking after the successful addition of your debit card, transferring money
to your friend is instant.
• Security Tip: you can make a PIN to keep access to payments secure.
What is the Benefit of this payment service?
• Immediately money transfer between family and friends. Totally free of
cost.
• Accessible over multiple platforms which support Facebook Messenger.
• It is very secure for transfer payment you can add more security by
creating a PIN.
• Also you can see your payment history, go to setting, then payment
option and now there is payment history option.
• If you want to delete your debit cards record from Facebook, so it is
possible.
Facebook can now right away share the amount of tickets/hotel
Accommodations/food without needing to leave Facebook or beginning
whatever other payment specific App on their cell phone.
Note:
• At present, it doesn’t encourage payment utilizing credit cards, prepaid
debit cards or PayPal
• At present, it is accessible only to select US-based Users (expected that

• The payment service is available only in US dollar currency.

more engaged, active users. This component can change the worldwide e-
commerce arena the way people buy products and pay for services on the
internet.
So we had read about payment service hope you love it, now jumps to next
one and last feature that will be add into Facebook messenger.
2). Add a link feature
Facebook is trying an in-application keyword search engine that gives you
a chance to discover sites and articles to add to your status updates.
Sharing a link on social networking site from a mobile is an unbalanced
trial of application switching and copy and paste. Facebook is planning to
make mobile application sharing a tad bit simpler.The social networking
enormous is trying out a creative in app keyword search engine that would
make it simple for user to discover sites and articles consistent to their
status update, Rather than copy & pasting URLs in Facebook. Add a link is
the new feature on Facebook, it’s now available only iOS platform in US.
For android and window user will have to wait for few month. Last couple
of weeks some Facebook user saw an apparently little change to their iOS
application in US. During updating their statuses there is many option for
including a photo, and tag to friends, picking only the right sticker, or
sharing their location, they saw another symbol. It prompted page called
“Add a Link,” where their queries were met with relevant results from
around the web, that they could then share rapidly and flawlessly with
friends.
You’ll have the capacity to just tap the new “Add a link” button, look for the
point you need to share, and then tap to apply for a consistent article.
This new feature is right now being tried among a select team of beta iOS
users in the United States, who are presently seeing new “Add a link“
alternative nearby options to add a photo or location to a status update.
Once you’ve written a question into this new add a link option, Facebook
will demonstrate to you a determination of link and sites important to your
inquiry.
Facebook confirmed in a statement that “We’re piloting a new way to add
a link that’s been shared on Facebook to your posts and comments.”
Google remains the best search product in the world, and Facebook’s Add
a Link feature assuming it rolls out to everyone seems unlikely to challenge
that any time soon. The trial is just accessible to a little group in the US,
yet there’s a great deal of potential here. Facebook said that it indexed
more than one trillion post on let people search for link that have been
shared with them. By indexing articles themselves, Facebook turns into a
search engine of their own controlled by data that Google doesn’t have
access to, theoretically taking out the need to
“Google” something by any means.
Furthermore, others have speculated that this new feature will up the rates
of link sharing by making it simpler and more advantageous. With more
links sharing comes more information about Facebook user which is great
news for illuminators considering that Facebook drives an amazing 25
percent of every single social click (looked at than under 1 percent for
Twitter).
It gives a large group of organized information in regards to what sort of
news and publisher you as a user think about. It can also help gauge the
like and hobbies of your friends relying upon whether they pick to like or
share your story. The Wall Street Journal says the program could launch
soon, and Facebook might give publishers 100% of ad revenue if they sell
what’s shown next to the articles. If Facebook sells the ads, it might get
30%.

Are You Wasting Your Youthfulness? Pt. II

Arguably enough, no human was born with an inch of knowledge. That is to say, a newborn is like a new computer system. Empty of programs. It becomes sophisticated to the extent at which the system owner or user has installed software programs on it. Now, you can only search for something and get the result in a database only when the owner or user has developed the memory to a reasonable point of giving only what it can offer hence, the "Garbage In Garbage Out (GIGO)" phrase. This suffice to say that, the human is born with an empty mind only to become a bank of knowledge to the extent at which its immediate environment has enriched it to. Thus, a dull brain is so only because it is what the immediate habitat has fed it's mind with. Absolutely empty until filled with knowledge. I strongly believe in the saying that, the Colonialists' greatest curse became the colonized greatest blessing that moment that the colonialist decided to teach the colonized to be able to read, write and interact in the colonialists' language. This is say because, it was afterwards that the colonized became educated (in the colonialists' language) on how he could break the chord of colonialism. Hence, telling me I'm thinking in the Whiteman's way is like telling me there was no form of development or civilization (in it's little way) amongst my ancestors before the coming of the White Man. This, I strongly know, is denigrating to my race because, my people would have developed in whatever little way at their own pace rather than at the pace of the so called White Man and his Westernization. I am African and a proud one at that, so don't you ever think and say to me that Westernization is Civilization or vice-versa and my dear, you are as limited as you opt to be, not by anyone's standard. A word is enough foe the wise.

Are You Wasting Your Youthfulness?

Yesterday, while discussing with some of my students, the issue of becoming successful in life and showing gratitude to your aged parents popped up at the middle of our discussion session and a student of mine over bloated the magnitude of how he felt it should be, perhaps how he thinks it's supposed to be. He started with the example of fulfilling his aged parents youthful dreams that they couldn't achieve due to their strife toward ensuring their child's wellbeing was proper catered for. What amused me was his stance on building a mansion or mansions for his parents, flying them abroad for vacation and all that and ensuring there was more than enough cash money for the "aged" parents to squander. I countered the unnecessary showering of luxuries for the aged parents on the grounds that they don't actually need all that even when one is capable and willing to ensure those flamboyant lifestyle for it could be put into other usefulness so long as the parents are made comfortable but his stubborn stance on "thats how it's supposed to be" baffled and still baffles me because, this aged parents have lived their lives and the most they require of you is ensuring they are well catered for. He dabbled here and there with the excuse of "the problem is that too many knowledge acquisition has turned most of us into thinking in the way and manner of the Western world" and it being an African way of life, worse still was his argument that it's an African mentality. In trying to make him see reasons why it's a foolish reasoning, I explained to him that Westernisation is not, and never will be, civilization so thinking from my own perspective isn't Westernization (or the way of the White Men). I used myself as an example, telling him why I believe it is unnecessary to indulge such because I actually have no material thing that I can entice my parents with other than ensuring their comfort and this is so because they quite have achieved before me and all they need from me is just to ensure am happy and doing better than they did whilst growing up in their youth. Furthermore, I explained to him that our parent actually don't need the excessiveness because it's only normal that every parent hopes to have their children living in a better generation than theirs whilst we ensure that of the coming generations and that this is the only assurance to civilization. Looking back, I uncovered to him that growth and development is what precedes civilization not the amount of amassed wealth (afterall we do have people that a tagged "money miss roads") not money or any form of riches. From his standing point, he was like "that excessiveness is a must and that is what we owe them" and I strongly argued against that. I mean, do parents forget morals and bother not about how their child came about some riches?" in our present day society. Or is it that our drive for success has supplanted our morals and ethics, which these days has led into public looting by some selected greedy few? This discussion went from here on to "everyman is a product of his society" hence, criminogenic tendencies are acquired during the growing up phase not innate and his stance on "some people are born that way" led me into questioning him with "do you believe in the existence of God?" and if you do "then, God purposely  created some humans to become thieves". He didn't agree God would have done that hence, my point of "everyman is a product of his society" was proven in that, everything a man does is as a result of what his society has imbibed in him overtime.
