ADAM'S WORLD: TOP SECRET BENEFIT OF SHAVING THAT YOU NEVER KNEW ABOUT


One of the most discussed topics in the niche of Adam's world is the frequency of shaving. Some men believe that shaving daily can cause damage to your kin, some thinks it has so many benefits.
I had a brief interview with some men and here are their comments.
 " Shaving has huge benefits. It makes me feel and look clean. I shave my beard thrice a week."

OPINION DESK- A REACTION TO THE DILEMMA IN EDO STATE


 EDO 2016: IS OSHIOMHOLE DESTROYING THE APC...? BY FELIX ISERE.

Here at Precious Pen we encourage individuals and groups to express their opinion on any trendy topic or issue in the society. Still in the ongoing situation in Edo State, more individuals tend to react to the statements uttered by the State Governor during a meeting with his party faithfuls.
Kindly read this.

OPINION DESK- A RESPONSE TO THE DILEMMA IN EDO STATE.

Here at Precious Pen the opinions of individuals to any trendy issue is of great importance. We give people the chance to express themselves to the general public their keen opinion on any trendy issue in the society. For those who are residents of Benin City, the capital of Edo State here is a trendy issue which brought about protests from the Binis over the words used by the Comrade Governor to address the Esama of Benin. Kindy read this.


"I want to express my disappointment and displeasure with the very careless and insultive  statement the comrade Governor of Edo State made about the Romanian Ambassador to Edo and Delta State the person of Chief Gabriel Osawaru Igbenedion,i want to say that it is very unethical for the comrade to express such opinion and abuse an elderstatesman and a man of such personality.The Esama is an employer of labour in Edo state. His private sector in the state has helped to reduce the uneployement rate in the state because of his diversified skill in enterprenuership. This has contineously repeated itself as the comrade has decided to ignore matters of utmost importance in the state and wallow in trivial issues and inconsequential drama which has left us in a 'roundabout development'. Am opined to say that the Governor should put aside unnecessary squabbles and reasonably concentrate on the per time left in his tenure to reposition and set alot of things right as the self acclaimed saviour whom he has posed to be over the years."

ADAM'S WORLD: MISTAKES MEN MAKE WITH THEIR TIES


On my way to the bank this morning, i noticed a man wearing an attractive tie but unfortunately, it was an eye sore as he failed to wear the tie properly.  My experience this morning inspired me to write this post " TOP MISTAKES MEN MAKE WHEN WEARING A TIE". I had a brief conversation with some men on whether they pay keen attention when wearing their ties and here are some of the responses. 

' Well, i always ensure to  wear my tie properly before leaving the house because i don't want people to think am untidy. It is necessary for every man to take things of such nature seriously.'

The following day was just like every other working day for me; configuring network devices and trouble shooting any error on the banks network as usual. It seemed like a promising day because i had a smile on my face and i was happy to be at work.  Before going for  my lunch break, my boss called me and told me to setup a new work station in my department for a new staff.  I got back to my office  immediately to face the work quickly so  that i could settle the rumbling in my stomach before the lunch break will end. While setting up the system, i was passing the internet cable under the table when I noticed a pair of smooth

WHY YOU SHOULD NOT LOSE YOUR FAITH



                                   
                                          FAITH

According to Wikipedia, faith is defined as confidence or trust in a being, object, living organism, deity, view, or in the doctrines or teachings of a religion, as well as confidence based on some degree of warrant. Faith can also refer to a belief that is not based on proof. Faith in terms of religion is the total acceptance of the divine authority of the Manifestations of God. In the religion's view, faith and knowledge are both required for spiritual growth; Faith involves more than outward obedience to this authority, but also must be based on a deep personal understanding of religious teachings .


According to the Scriptures, the definition of faith is “… confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see" (Hebrews 11:1). Perhaps, no other component of the Christian life is more important than faith. We cannot purchase it, sell it or give it to our friends. The Bible has much more to say about faith and how important it is. In fact, it is so important that, without faith, we have no place with God, and it is impossible to please Him. The Scriptures affirms it in Hebrews 11:6, "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek him". Without demonstrating faith and trust in God, we have no place with Him.



We believe in God’s existence by faith. Most people have a vague, disjointed notion of who God is but lack the veneration necessary for His exalted position in their lives. These people lack faith needed to have an eternal relationship with the God who loves them. Our faith can falter at times, but because it is the gift of God, given to His children to remain strong in faith and overcome trials. He provides times of trials in order to sharpen strengthen and prove that our faith is strong. This is why James, the Apostle tells us to consider it “pure joy” when we fall into trials, because the testing of our faith produces perseverance and matures us, providing the evidence that our faith is real.

BROKEN(EPISODE 2)



 

SHORT STORY titled 'BROKEN'      ......... Episode 2

I had a really messing day and i am going to put the blame on every living creature that has a protruding growth on its chest known as breasts. I spent the entire day at work trying to figure out the way a womans mind works and i know thats quite impossible but as interesting as they are, theyre also quite stupid. Women demand that they want to be treated like men; they want to have equal rights but refuse to bear the same responsibilities that a man does. Thats just pure undiluted stupidity right there. Their responsibility lies in the kitchen and in the bedroom
Silence is the most powerful scream. True or false?
Do not look down on anyone unless you are helping them
In God we trust! Have you trusted in him?

QUOTE OF THE DAY

There are so many quotes but today we will pick this. Always keep it in mind.

EPISODE-       1


"I hate women"; I know 'hate' seems like a strong word but that's the only emotion I feel towards them. I mean, what else can I feel when the woman I loved with all my heart for four years told me she never really loved me, and that it was more like she stayed so long because she felt pity for me. This was my third failed relationship and I believe everything is wrong with how the love section of my life story was written.
My first relationship seemed promising at first. Kemi and I were extremely close and we never really had problems, just little  arguments here and there. Although, everything crushed down when she slept with one of my friends and he bragged about it to my face,Omo she bad! he said. Till now,  I cannot comprehend how that happened exactly, but she didnt even deny it. My second relationship was supposed to be a passing fling in the beginning  but then it turned into something serious and lasted for six months, Vivian was a light-skinned goddess with an amazing personality. She brightened my day just by smiling. I swear, i thought that was finally it, Id found theone but then good things always come to an end, dont they?
Three failed relationships within five years and I was left with a heart that barely functioned.
