"My Pastor Ask Me to remove my Eyelashes at Middle of my Wedding" Lady asked What will you do?

-
In a recent incident that has sparked discussions on social media, a Nigerian bride, Jessica Okah, shared her experience of being asked to remove her eyelashes by her pastor during her church wedding ceremony.
According to Punch, the incident, which Jessica recounted on TikTok, has raised questions about the imposition of personal beliefs and aesthetics in religious ceremonies.

Jessica revealed that the pastor had previously mentioned his objection to her wearing eyelashes before her wedding day.

Despite this early warning, Jessica admitted to having forgotten about the pastor’s request and assumed it would not be an issue on her big day.


However, to her surprise, the matter was brought up again right before the ceremony was due to commence.

She said, “What would you do if your pastor asked you to remove your lashes in the middle of your wedding ceremony? It was like a movie, but it was happening for real.


“After my husband’s family accepted me, that’s when my pastor realised that he told me the day before that I wasn’t supposed to wear lashes to the wedding ceremony.

“Let me not lie, I didn’t have a problem with it anyway, but truthfully, I forgot.

“He said before the service had to continue, I had to go and remove the lashes.”

Who is Responsible for Taking Care of the Children?

The responsibility of raising children has always been a topic of discussion, shaped by cultural values, religious beliefs, and modern-day realities. While parenting is ideally a shared duty between both parents, society often influences how responsibilities are divided. This article explores the dynamics of parenting roles in Nigeria and sheds light on how these roles can be balanced for the benefit of the children. Traditional Parenting Roles in Nigeria In many Nigerian households, traditional customs dictate that the father is the primary provider, while the mother takes on the caregiver role. Fathers are expected to work hard to ensure the financial stability of the home, while mothers focus on nurturing and managing the home front. For example, a father might ensure that school fees, clothing, and food are provided, but the mother often becomes the cornerstone of daily interactions, offering emotional support, teaching values, and maintaining discipline. This division of labor was...

As a Customer Service Professional, I have come to terms that excellent and quality service sticks in the heart of customers which keeps them coming back again and again!.  Psychological factors affect the decisions we make every day. Of course, most of us are blissfully unaware of the tendencies that influence our actions. However, businesses can use the hidden psychology driving our behaviors to yield big profits. From the work that we do, to the habits that we form, to the rationalizations we make, our behavior and mental state influence tastes and preferences in unusual ways by getting us to invest in products and services in seemingly inconsequential ways. Labor = Love In a 2011 study, three researchers measured how work affects the  value of things. University students were given instructions to assemble an origami crane or frog. After the exercise, students were asked to purchase their creation, bidding up to $1. Meanwhile, a separate group of students located in an...

How does your Store-Look eliminates disarray of what to purchase from customers and how can it urges a client to shop in your store as opposed to in another, and in particular, changes over additional customers into clients?? A Central issue for most Retailers and Merchandisers😊 A planned exertion holds you back from conveying a lot of SKUs, slapping them on a wall or table, and anticipating that they should sell. Such a large number of decisions cause customers to feel overpowered. What difference should promoting make to you? The faster you can eliminate a customer's decisions, the speedier you can cause them to unwind and think about buying your product.

7 Signs to Know a Customer That Wants to Buy

-
Image
Understanding customer behavior is a crucial skill in sales. Not every customer who walks into a store or inquires about a product is ready to buy. However, there are telltale signs that reveal when a potential buyer is serious. Knowing these signs can help you focus your efforts, close deals faster, and improve customer satisfaction. Here’s how to identify a customer who truly wants to buy: 1. Clear and Specific Inquiries A customer who asks detailed questions about a product or service is often a strong prospect. They inquire about features, pricing, availability, and delivery timelines. For example, someone asking, “Does this shirt come in other colors and sizes?” is more likely to buy than someone casually saying, “It looks nice.” Tip : Respond with clarity and enthusiasm. The more confident your answers, the closer they move toward making a decision. 2. Repeated Engagement When a customer keeps coming back—whether it's to the store, website, or even through follow-up messages—...
