Samuel Tivlumun Shima It is a good thing to cooking native delicacies. Back here in Nigeria some people like 'ewedu' soup, others prefer 'yakuwa' soup with boiled yam while others found favour with 'ogbono' soup. The list is endless.

If you could not sleep and also hungry, would you get up and eat?

taiwanlife @taiwanlife (745) • Philippines 2 Apr 13

I am eating now. If I were younger, I would have just prepared an instant cup noodles and ate the remaining apple strudel in the fridge. Back in my country, I was not lactose intolerant then or maybe I was but I never really...

Samuel Tivlumun Shima I simply eat at anytime I am hungry. Way back in Africa, particularly Nigeria, the wether condition is favourable that one can eat whatever they desired at all times. All these facts put together, one must be desireous of balanced diet.

Do you care about what other people think?

Aja103654 @Aja103654 (5644) • Philippines 2 Apr 13

Why are people care so much about what other people care about them? It is self-limiting and rather unhealthy. There is truly little benefit to caring what other people think. Though it can be useful to know what other people...

Samuel Tivlumun Shima It is natural for other persons to feel concerned about others. Man is not an island, that is why we have communities everywhere. It is only bad when people are backbiting others to see that their talked about is run down. Praise your fellow man where it is...

Samuel Tivlumun Shima Smoking, like Alcohol is a spirit. You need a stronger spirit to counter them. Contact your spiritual leader, pastor, Rev. Father, etc. for spiritual intervention. Pray very well to God for His divine intervention.

Samuel Tivlumun Shima In this case culture and one's behaviour matters. In my culture and tradition, no matter the enmity with your fellow human being, you empress some kind grief/sorrow. Some people have the courage to abuse and insult even the corpses. That is their culture turns...

Samuel Tivlumun Shima I am working full time and was once a student at a University. It all depends on your strength, relationship with your employer and other tight schedules. So it is possible to be a worker and at the same time a student.

Samuel Tivlumun Shima It depends on the contractual agreement. If the landlord and tenant agreed on who should fix it, then it is that. All the same, somebody's business should be everybody's business.

Samuel Tivlumun Shima This statement 'relationship' is open. When you say having relationship means several kinds of such. It could be bed mate, pen pal, play mate and so on. However, friendship has no age barrier, it is open. Unless when it involves bed-mating it is suggested...

Samuel Tivlumun Shima The guy could be suffering from indecision which could sometimes turn out to be very dangerous. You are not done with your former girlfriend and you took up serious affairs with the next only to dump - men you have to be very careful.

Samuel Tivlumun Shima I have a twelve-year-old daughter and three older boys, whenever I went to the market to buy clothes for them, the boys' clothes would be bought with ease, but for the girl it is either oversize or undersized, unless I dedicate a whole day for her clothing.

Samuel Tivlumun Shima It can't be the end of the world. Your father can understand the situation if you tell him the truth. Plead with him, after all you said your salary was paid wrongly. I hope this will be rectified immediately.

Samuel Tivlumun Shima It is a matter of choice as for wrapping and unwrapping of gifts. Even in churches, some hide their offer while others say it should be open and flung. Culture and traditions are dynamic as well as language, they change with time.

What is more enjoyable, be a child or a parent?

Shavkat @Shavkat (140260) • Philippines 22 Dec 12

Some people wished to turn back the time as a child. Being a child, you don't need to worry anything; the parents are always there to provide everything. How about for the parents?

Samuel Tivlumun Shima All the same everybody is a child before the Lord God. But here on earth we are foster parents and under this fora we are open to God's wisdom as to what He expects us to do before Him. At this instance, you are happy as a parent rather than a babe.
