@livingword Good day. Pls on my own point of view , money does not answer all things . God answers all things. Reasons is because, in this our present world we aught to put God first and by so doing all things will be added unto us. Then money comes second because God himself provided it for us. Money is among the all things which God added unto us.
Thank you for stopping by.
But why do you think God answers all things? Because, there are people who have been asking God for something but He hasn't answered. 🤷🏻♂
Question upon question found this amusing but speechless to answer
I find it amusing too 🤣
This is interesting we are both finding it amusing
Yes ,some people ask but He doesn't answer them immediately. If they will have patience applied with faith God will surely answer them.
Thank you
@tigrace How are you? I like this question. Being an adult isn't just about reaching a certain age, but I about taking ownership. Growing up I realized both exciting and daunting as I begin to understand the complexities and challenges of adulthood.
Hey 👋@onyiigift I'm doing great thanks for asking. Happy weekend to you, I love you answer and thank you for stopping by. Hugs 🫂 from me to you.
I Hug you too. Thanks and have a splendid day
Wish you same darling 💕. Invite your friends to participate in the hot sit talk please.
Alright I will
Thanks 🙏
@youngezeblinzz
Education is a foundation for success, but it is not only factor. In today's world, skills, experiences, and personal qualities is often necessary to achieve success.
You just nailed it 🔨..
Education is a foundation for success, but it is not only factor.
Especially here in Nigeria, one needs wisdom, hardworking, skills, and talent to be successful in life.
Yes, you are right. one needs all these qualities mentioned to be successful.
I invite @luchy1 @vickiee @mercy22 @amazing23. Pls engage. To the hot seat pls🙏🏼
@kachy2022 I don't have the power to remove sickness✍🏻🤷🏼♀, is only God Almighty that can. Let's imagine a world where I could eradicate one disease. I highlight sickle cell disease it has cursed more harm than good to the people of Africa. It causes much pain. Eradicating sickle cell will bring hope and relief to individuals and families in Africa.
That's my hope, too, that all sickness will be totally eradicated in God's new world.
Thanks for your comment 👍
Thanks too🤝🏼🤗
@chefqueen I don't what to say but I noticed that I overgrow recently it drift apart from my family and friends. I recognized my career shifts which lead to natural separatios.
I think this outgrown doesn't mean fighting, but just that you have to let go of the energy you use on what does not align with your desire or value. Thanks for this .
Thanks too. You are welcomed 🤝🏼

Education is crucial and necessary, but it is not enough for success in today's world. Education may provide knowledge but can not provide creativity and practical experience which is needed for success in today's world
Wow. That's true, education May provide knowledge but can't provide creativity and practical experience.
Thanks 🙏 a lot for the awesome answers.
You are welcome
@livingword
Money is good and needed for our basic needs and for provision of opportunities like education and personal growth, but money does not answer all things money can not buy happiness, there are many rich people today that are not happy. Meaningful relationship cannot be purchased with money, money is just a tool not a ultimate goal.
Wow!
Honestly, if I haven't met a few of them, I would have disagreed with you.
Yes oo
Untill you see one, you won't believe cause we thought they have it all
@chefqueen Yes ooo that's my ex. The overconfidence was much that we would end up together after many years together with both families involved and preparing for the next step. That is why we must all know this that when it comes to having a life partner to journey with maritally, you knowing his family or him knowing your family doesn't guarantee a lasting relationship or marriage.
Jesus!!! This is so touching but all the same I'm glad you outgrown and gave yourself the love you deserve. Sending much love sis 🥰🥰❤️
@kachy2022, if I have the power to remove a sickness for life, it would be malerria. Malerria is one of the major sickness in Africa and torn if amounts of money are usually on anti malerria every year with little or no results
That's true, malaria is very common in Africa and it has killed lots of people. It would be nice to see it totally removed.
Thanks for your comment.
Thank you for having me
You are welcome 😊
Congratulations @kachy2022.
It's another hot sit. Come and f drop your answers guys.
@afrikens @treasuree @quduus @dhaveh
Did I win anything? I wasn't tagged as a winner. 😐 😕 🤷 🤔
@kachy2022
If I have the power to remove sickness I would remove all the sickness dear, sickness has done more harm in the society , people care really suffering from different kinds of sickness which is really bad so for me I will remove the whole sickness if I have the power.
Congratulations as the winner of last week this week we go again
Am calling on @nalina @preshy007 @amara24 to participate
Sickness has really destroyed a lot of homes, and it's worse when we see our loved one sufer without the power to help them.
Seriously dear
Definitely sister.
Yeah you can participate too
Okay thanks
Yeah
@youngezeblinzz
In today's world I have seen , I have heard people who where not educated yet the succeeded, some people succeeded through education while others succeeded without education therefore i stand on my opinion that says
Education cannot be granted a hundred percent enough alone for success in today's world, as some people did not have the opportunity to be educated yet the succeeded through a legal way that is not related to education such as skills acquisition , trade and other legal ways
Amazing answer✅✅.
There are so many who are not educated but were successful in life due to hardworking,skills, and being talented. Education helps a lot in empowering us with knowledge. But being hardworking, talented and having skills play's a vital role in becoming successful in life.
Wow a million thanks goes to you @youngezeblinzz for using the word amazing answer with the addition of the two good mark. Your deeds are wonderful
Thanks a lot 🙏.
I really appreciate your fantastic words..
@livingword
I picked a point mentioned from the author that says "all things"? , to elaborate more.
Money is a currency that answers but not all things
Relationship with one another can also give you what money cannot or can give you but not all things
But there is only person who you can
partnership with, that answers all things that is GOD , GOD answers all things
Bing! You carved out the words in quotes. That means, "all things" isn't necessarily all things.
But does God actually answers all things? I just want to know.
@livingword in the summary of my answer God answer all things thank you , God bless you
Bless you too.
@chefqueen yeah I have ... thought I could not but finally it meant nothing any more ....I outgrow the feelings
Hmmm. That's good to hear from you . Thanks for telling us
@youngezeblinzz
Talking about education I think we were misled by the curriculum system when it comes to education and life.
On paper, as they taught us, go to school, study hard, pass and graduate, be employed and become successful. But we can agree that when it comes to real life, the ground is very different. Skills talk more than papers. Networking talk more than papers.
Education is good. It gives us a highlight of how the world works, but it needs helpers to make our lives successful. Those helpers comes as skills, willpower, networking
@kachy2022
I remember writing about such a prompt before. And I will stick with my answer.
If I were to cure one illness, it'd be depression. I try to imagine a world where people have a will to not only live but to fight to live. I believe that the mind is the strongest organ of our human body and it determines how we respond to life and health in general.
If it is defeated in any way, if we loose our will to fight, to live, then whatever knocks us off our feet will definitely finish us, just because the mind is not willing to fight to live.
But when I imagine where we can give the mind strength and will, I imagine a body that's willing to fight illness
Depression is really a terrible feeling that can trick the mind to work against the body. It's a sickness of the mind. Thanks for your comment. 🫥 🫥
@livingword
"But money enter sweet pass ooo.. more money more money God eeee" I love that song by AK S. Money is sweet I swear! There's a saying that goes "money is not everything, but it ranks up there with oxygen."
Now to answer your question, according to me, yes money answers everything but life herself. It can buy everything under the sun but one thing being the breath of life. And that's actually a good thing because imagine a lifetime where we can use money to buy another chance of living.
God really knew how He can equalize us all by giving us one life to live.
woah! 😃 That's a good point of view. But what are the all things money can buy?
@chefqueen Honestly, yes I had this friend I thought would be in my life forever, we were inseparable for years, shared everything and I couldn't imagine my world without her in it but somewhere along the way, we just grew in different directions, it wasn't dramatic or anything and there was no big falling out as a matter of fact but we just started wanting different things from life and from there our conversations became harder to maintain, the silences got longer and eventually I realized we were holding onto who we used to be rather than who we are now even though it hurt to accept it and there is this weird grief that comes with outgrowing someone, mourning a friendship that is still technically alive but doesn't fit anymore though I think part of me will always care about them and treasure what we had in the past but I have learned that sometimes people are meant for certain chapters of your life and not for the whole book then it also taught me that losing someone doesn't always mean they are gone but sometimes it just means the season has changed.
Oh !! Wow!!! I can literally relate to this, it's just like you were talking about my life, this is what I'm passing through also now. I have finally outgrown it too. Thank for giving your answers ,sis🥰❤️
Outgrowing it is actually the best thing to do and let's wish each other well from afar.
You are welcome sis and I must say, you have such a wonderful question in there.
@kachy2022
Sickness defying medical step have lead some to early grave, deform some people , imagine seeing your love one's in pain , crying or dieing in sickness or you in person being tormented in the hand of terrible sickness as the matter of fact,
sickness out to be eliminated and wipe out from our body , if the power to do so is possessed
That's true. It would be a beautiful thing to see all sicknesses totally removed forever.
@chefqueen yes! That would be my Ex. We dated back in school and he always made me feel like I wouldn't meet anyone like him or even better. He actually said it to me.
I kept up with him until I graduated and served him breakfast.... he's still shocked till date. I had to Block him before my marriage because he was beginning to come back and keeps talking to people to beg on his behalf.
@ozibaby @omachi213 @iquo Has this ever happened to you?
@kachy2022 if I had power to take any sickness away for life, it would be sickle cell disorder. This blood condition causes a lot of seen and unseen havoc.
That's true. It has ruined lots of lives and even marriages
Yep, I can testify to that
@kachy2022. If I'm to talk about removing sickness, haaa no sickness is good ooo, even just headache I can't wish my enemy. Is should just have power to remove all sickness, that will be good ooo
That's true. We will all be happy to see all sickness totally removed.
@livingword well I don't think money answers all things because there are so many money can't buy. For example, it can't buy God's presence, the gift of men, favour, etc. So yes it's good to have money but it can't answer to all things
Wow. That's true. I guess money is overrated then. 😂
But why does the Bible have to say so?
Any ideas, please? 💁🏻♂
@chefqueen
I recall a friendship I once treasured deeply, where we shared our innermost thoughts, ideas, and dreams. We vowed that our bond would last forever, but life had other plans. As time passed, we realized our paths had diverged, and we no longer aligned with each other.
Outgrowing someone does not mean the relationship was flawed, it means we have evolved, and our priorities, values, or interests have shifted. It is a natural part of life, and it can lead to new connections and experiences.
I am grateful for the memories we shared, and I wish them well on their journey. Recognizing when it is time to move forward is a sign of growth and self awareness.
@younqezeblinzz.
Success is not tied to education alone. I have personally come across a lot of uneducated people who actually become successful in life.
Success relies heavily on skills that aren't always the primary focus of academic degrees.
Education provides the indispensable base of knowledge and opens initial doors, but sustained success and career advancement require actively developing a broader set of soft skills, gaining practical experience, and cultivating a strong professional network.
@sarahbaby @buzorbaby
@preshy007.
Let me answer the question by @chefqueen,
The truth is, I have, but with friends and neighbours, not with family, because no matter what, one cannot lose them, except to death.
Growth is something essential, and there will be a time when we'll move on a different path when our goals do not align anymore, and everyone needs to move to pursue their career and interests. So, yes, I have outgrown friends and neighbours because I discovered we cannot keep together as everyone needs to move on, and there is nothing bad in that. We can only wish ourselves the best, and when, in life, we meet again, we tend to catch up with gists and see we are doing fine. And for others who would prefer to be limited and do not want to scale up, we can't keep being with them anymore so they don't affect us negatively.
@tigrace
At the point I started paying outrageous bills and could not call home for support
Wow. Thanks for sharing
@tigrace
At the stage I came to solve and handle issues, having a higher reasoning , taking care of some responsibility in the absence of parental care , I came to my understanding to know that there is a big gap and difference between adults and child hood.
Nice one. Thank you for sharing.
Your writing are wonderful, very good
Thanks dear for your kind words.
A million thanks for appreciating my answers to your question and at the same time following me , words to appreciate is indescribable , thank you once more
My pleasure 💕. Nice meeting you.
@chefqueen
This question took me back to my schooling days, having a friend I taught that nothing can disbond our friendship, yet after secondary school we took different distance steps in search of success. That made us not to see or relate to each other again.
Therefore with this point i can said that distance also one of the factors that can lead to outgrown of someone you once thought you'd never lose .
@livingword money doesn't answer all things because there are sickness that money can't heal.
Wow. I guess you're right.
@tigrace I realized this when I got admission into school and had to take care of myself. When I left home, I understood that adulthood na scam
Hahahah 🤣🤣🤣 adulthood no be scam na reality my dear. Thanks for sharing.
I will be inviting me @temmylade @wewarrior-28 @monica-ene
Thank you dear, I already dropped my response in the morning
Ok that's good
@kachy2022
I wish I had the power to eradicate sickness, but if I could, I would start with sickle cell anemia. Losing a dear friend and classmate to this condition was heartbreaking. May their memory live on, and may their passing inspire efforts to combat this disease. Rest in peace.
I'm sorry about your friend. A lot of people have lost their lives to sickle cell... I also wish cancer is totally removed.
Yes cancer too have cost a lost of life
I wish it can also be removed
I will be inviting @omoomowess01 @chatsunny and @hillah for their contribution to the questions.
@youngezeblinzz
Education is crucial for economic growth and individual prosperity, but it's not a stand alone solution to sustain us in today's economy. Here's why:
With the situation of the economy in the country most especially Nigeria that we are now, there's lot of unemployment in the society due to the over population of people with education level. So one must have a hand working skills to support his/her self, because it is those that know politicians and social high people that there certificate is relevant.
Well explained 🤝.
Many are educated but still unemployed due to one reason or the other, while some are uneducated but have talent, skills and also hard working..
Education is very important and having talent, skills, and being hard working makes it complete for a successful life..
@chefqueen
There are many people I have outgrown. Though, I still kinda cherish the old memories. My ex is one, then some of my cousins.
@tigrace adulthood i had to realaise that at the age of 16 it was hard just pushing through
Congratulations to me. I just found out I won the last hot seat #9 thanks @chefqueen for letting me know
@chefqueen
I have outgrown someone, I thought I never stop loving or caring for and that's my a a good friend, she became really entitled, selfish,and annoying .
I had t to let her go, life is to hard to keep toxic and entitled people around .
It is really sad but to get the same energy or love you give back. I'm glad you outgrown it, yes, it's isn't safe for our mental health to have toxic people around.
