Nkem had seriously been struck with strange ailment for years, all her friends ran away, her relatives abandoned her. She laid on that same mat always, it was Almighty who was sustaining her. It was at a point when the food she stocked while she was working got finished that she began to seek for help which she later did not find.

Life is full of ups and downs, in time of trouble is the best time to know true friends.

Start now to look out for real friends.

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Reasons why opposites Attract each other

Is there anything opposite than male and female? Yet they still attract each other after so many decades. In fact, the future of the race is dependent on such attraction. But unfortunately they fail to realize that their physical differences are only symbolic of the many other differences in their nature, the most significant of which are " temperaments ". Good to know, a negative is never attracted to another negative and positives repel each other in any field.
