Romance › Nairalanders Please I Need Your Help. What's Ur Experience With Edo/esian Girls by agbitaj(op): 8:20pm On Dec 24, 2015

It has really become something else these days that when some guys are talking about settling down and all stuffs, when Edo girls are mention the reactions are always like "Noooooooooooo" or "No go area, I no wan die young make my wife become landlady". And also I have found out that they like chopping guys money.

Its really not that funny because I believe every tribe has both bad and good people.

I believe some good Edo people in the house can clear the air right..

Romance › "You Never Forget First Love" What Does That Mean? by agbitaj(op): 5:05pm On Nov 26, 2015

Do you believe your first love/teen love memories always invokes a sweet and sensitive side of you?

Do you think as you get older, each ex you loved afterwards loses its novelty? For example, what if you are neither her first nor her last?

Do you take a more pragmatic approach to love? Such as do you approach love more practically now as an adult than you do with fiery emotion and idealisms?

I have heard people describe first love as "magical", "changing", "sweet", " innocent" and "a base of comparison"...

It is not a coincidence that top romance movies and music portray youthful, first love experiences.

17 Again
The Notebook
Lean On by Major Lazer
Modern pop songs including some by Adele
These are just a mere fraction that are at the tip of my tongue.

I have heard theories from psychologists that explain this connection. I have read articles about theories of imprinting, dopamine levels, and explanations from experts that first love experiences are the strongest connections you will ever have to someone outside your family

Romance › Do People Have REAL Friends Anymore? by agbitaj(op): 4:54pm On Nov 26, 2015

I remember back in elementary through high school I had friends, I would hang out with from time to time, after high school, everyone went their own ways and hanging out only rarely happened. So is the time of hanging out with friends, dead and gone, and the only hanging out is done over the internet or texting nowadays? I miss having actual people to hang out with and do stuff with, those times and days were fun. What about you? wink

Romance › She Just Had An Abortion And It Wasn't My Baby by agbitaj(op): 4:43pm On Nov 26, 2015

my gf and i broke up after a year of being together. it was a long time coming, and the problems we had were sort of my doing, however she also had some baggage and acted crazy as heck.

she was super over me and i found out she had a guy at work that seemed to be all that, talking her up and making her feel good. they ended up dating for almost two months but the whole time she was sort of trying to keep up contact with me. after i ignored her for a month i finally gave in and asked her what she wanted and she just said that she missed me. we hung out once and she fell apart and begged to get back with me. she said things were over with that guy. turns out they were just fizzling out and she had noticed he had a bad drug/alcohol problem. I personally think she's retarded for even going there with someone after she noticed the party boy problem he had.

regardless she said she had a lot of feelings for him and they had a good time together. but everything he lacked, I had. and she wanted to get back with me after realizing that we had something special.

we both needed the break i think. but now I'm having some major issues with insecurities and possibly codependency.

After 3 weeks of us being back together i was really starting to trust her again and had sneakily gone through her phone and never found anything and she was always where she said she was going to be and i started relaxing and not being such a controlling psycho lol. But then she took a pregnancy test. she was pregnant and we realized that it was definitely the other guys kid. she had an abortion yesterday, was very hurt, depressed, and confused. I understand she has a lot of emotions. anyways she told the guy two days ago, and yesterday had the abortion. him and her have been texting back and forth and she's let me read everything they've written and its nothing shady, but there are some hurdles I'm having trouble getting past.
1) because of the nature of our breakup she isn't comfortable telling people about us yet cause everyone hates me pretty much.
2) although we are really doing quite well, she said she still has some feelings for the guy even though he is an idiot and says she never wants to talk to him again.
3) she seems hurt and wants closure etc because of the abortion

IM just sort of wondering if I'm being unreasonable telling her I expect her to not contact him anymore after the abortion. I want all of her and i feel bad about the situation but I've been really cool about the whole thing. she keeps telling me to control my mind and has honestly said some pretty amazing stuff to me, about the way she feels about me. ( i have everything going for me, she's more comfortable with me than anyone she's ever met, she's never been with someone where kissing and making love just gets better and better, and she is ALLLLL over me when I'm not acting insecure and pestering her for information) IDK she has just been pretty confident and collected in spite of everything going on, minus some major nuclear meltdowns where she was crying and freaking out about having to get an abortion.

I really want a future with this girl and I'm just battling insecurities and i don't get how i am being like this. i have never felt like this before and its honestly sort of crippling. I can't control my mind. its just wandering until i find some idea to latch onto that makes me think something CRAZY, and then I'm back to wondering and picking apart the situation.

Career › 15 Ways To Increase Your Value And Influence At Work by agbitaj(op): 4:02pm On Nov 26, 2015

Put yourself in the position of the owner of your business or the leader of your organization. What qualities would you look for in the employee whom you would advance within your management structure? If you had to lay people off, what type of person would you release? What type would you keep?

Now put yourself in the position of the employee. How would your employer rate your services? The fact is it’s the “little things” you do and don’t do that have a direct impact on your raises, promotions, and influence within an organization. The way you are viewed will not only impact your success at your current place of employment, but it will also affect the recommendations and references that follow you if you leave.

Here are 15 “little things” that will increase your value to your employer and make you stand out as a person who takes pride in your job.

Become an Employee of Influence

1. Arrive Early and Stay Late. Arriving promptly at your designated start time and then hurrying out the door the moment your workday ends tells management your job is not your priority. You’ll make a positive impression if you arrive early and don’t rush out the door at the end of the day.

2. Skip occasional breaks. As a business owner, I was always impressed with employees who would work through their breaks when we had deadlines to meet. Their actions told me they realized the urgency and importance of completing the task and were willing to voluntarily forgo their break to get the work done.

3. Take pride in how you dress and groom yourself. If you want to be taken seriously at work, start with your appearance. This applies to Fridays, too. If management is not dressing down on Fridays, follow their lead and remain in professional dress on Fridays.

4. Leave your personal life at home. You may have a close work friend in whom you confide when you’re having personal difficulties, but don’t let the word spread about your personal problems. Also avoid communicating with your family and friends during the times you are being paid to do your job.

5. Be upbeat and friendly. For most of us our workplace is our home-away- from-home. As you go through your workday make it a point to keep your energy levels high, acknowledge people, and be friendly. Be known as the person who always has a positive attitude. It will make for a better work environment for everyone.

6. Cut the constant chit chat and do your work. Maybe it’s just me, but I have a hard time with people who can’t keep their mouths shut when they should be focusing on their work. I have an even harder time when I am the one paying them.

7. Avoid speaking poorly of your co-workers. If your workplace really is your home-away-from-home, then why speak inappropriately of your co-workers? Speaking negatively of your co-workers will not only damage your relationships, but it will undermine your credibility. Instead, be the voice of encouragement, praise, and support.

8. Take pride in your written communications. Everything you type or write as an employee of a company is not only a reflection on your personal brand, but it’s also a reflection on the company’s brand.

9. Strive for excellence in your work. Be responsible and make sure you complete your responsibilities on time with excellence, even if it requires that you take some projects home.

10. Keep your workplace clean. No matter how much stuff seems to keep piling up on your desk, do your best to keep it organized. If someone’s workplace is messy and disorganized, why would they be any different?

11. Respond to emails after business hours. I am always impressed with people who check and respond to their business emails during non-business hours. It tells me they take their work seriously. Upper level management knows who’s contributing during non-business hours.

12. Stay collected when the pressure builds. How people handle themselves when their backs are against the wall reveals a lot about the person. Pressure reveals weaknesses and separates those who are ready for advancement from those who aren’t.

13. Take notes. Writing down what others say in meetings shows you are unwilling to run the risk of forgetting something. This works the same way when your waitperson writes down your order. Doesn’t it make you feel more assured when people write down their instructions?

14. Watch your social media brand. How your co-workers view your social media posts will have a huge impact on how they view you as a person. There is no distinction between your personal and professional life in the social media world. Don’t be fooled into thinking that because people aren’t connected with you, they won’t see your posts or photos.

15. Get involved. Show that you’re serious about your career by volunteering to lead department projects, or by getting involved with company fundraisers, or by offering to help with social activities.

There are many more “little things” you can do to stand out as someone worthy of respect and admiration if you will look for them. Pay close attention to the attributes of those senior to you in your organization. There’s a lot you can learn by observing successful people you respect.

Romance › The Power Of Showing Your Appreciation by agbitaj(op): 3:28pm On Nov 26, 2015

William James, well-known psychologist and philosopher, said, “The deepest principle of human nature is a craving to be appreciated.” If we are honest with ourselves, we all want and need to feel valued for who we are and recognized for our contributions and accomplishments. It’s important for us to know that we have made a difference in someone’s life.

If a person takes the time to express their heart-felt appreciation for something we have done, it boosts our spirit, passion, and purpose. It builds our self-confidence, self-esteem and our entire self-image. It gives us energy and motivation to work harder and do more.

Six benefits you can derive by showing your appreciation

1. When you give people a sincere compliment, words of encouragement or just a warm smile, you are making their world a better place. You are making them feel appreciated and valuable.

2. When you express your approval or gratitude for something they have done, you will not only enhance their lives, but you will enrich yours as well. You will feel more fulfilled because you have done something to make someone else’s life better.

3. One of the laws of the universe states that what you give you get in return. It costs little or nothing and it almost always follows suit that they will demonstrate their gratitude for what you do.

4. When you show an interest in others by noticing the good things they’ve done, they will be drawn to you like a magnet. It will accelerate the relationship building process and enhance their overall impression of you.

5. It will increase your value to the market. When you show your appreciation to others, their respect for you will grow and so will your influence as a leader. In today’s world people have choices. They absolutely prefer to work with people they like and trust and who show an interest in them.

6. It’s a free form of currency. People will do more for recognition than they will for money. If you are in a leadership position, remember that people will work harder and do more if they know they will be recognized for their accomplishments. Show them you care and they will be loyal to you, even if better opportunities come their way.

Six Tips to Show Appreciation

1. Be genuine about your praise and don’t expect anything in return for being nice.

2. Be very specific with your words and use the person’s name whenever possible. This makes it more meaningful. For example, “Bill, thanks for making us feel so welcome when we arrived at the hotel. It was the perfect start to our vacation.”

3. Demonstrating eye contact and positive body language goes hand in hand with the words you choose.

4. Think of special ways to show your gratitude. For example, buy flowers or do something special for your spouse that you know he or she would love. You don’t have to spend a lot of money for the thank-you to have value.

5. Send a hand written thank you card or note of appreciation. Most people don’t take the time to do this simple act.

6. If the praise or appreciation relates to a specific act or circumstance, give it as soon after the event as possible to have the most impact.

My challenge to you

I want to challenge you to make your expression of appreciation stand out from the crowd. Make sure it is genuine and something that will make an impression. It will require more effort on your part but it will be worth it.

While going the extra mile is admirable, don’t forget the simple little things we can do on a daily basis to let people know they are appreciated.

Politics › Re: APC May Sanction Atiku, Tambuwal Over N’assembly Elections by agbitaj(m): 8:04am On Jun 11, 2015

This APC people should stop disturbing our sleep.. it's one Nigeria not party

modath:
Atiku is not for national unity and should be expelled (alongside Saraki)with alacrity and allow the chips fall wherever they may.

The best time is now so that he can revive his PDM and APC can take stock of what is left & ensure cohesion.. Atiku's ambition is never ever going to work for National interest or Party Unity.

Since he has criss crossed parties, (gotten the political prostitute / desperado tag),cant and never likely to have his way in PDP, dollarisation of APC's primary was an effort in futility even social media fraternisation was a total bust....

The only option left is to stay & destroy APC from within & find an avenue to have his way and "serve" the country by force. ... (God will never let it happen.. )

Any and every discerning mind should know that Atiku is not happy with his situation, and just feigning the "loyal" party man stance.

He needs to be LET GO!!!

A friend that works with one of these new generation banks told me about a job that was advertized internally in the bank, with Third Class as the only requirement. I have been wondering why they should make the job opening for only Third class graduates. I decided to bring it to Nairaland for proper deliberation.

sim4fx: Please share your experience with Jumia products and customer services.

What issue have you got with their products and sevices?

Alot of my friends both on facebook and real life complain bitterly.

here is the link https://www.facebook.com/ikennanzimora?hc_location=timeline

My friend message:

"The PS4 is in Nigeria. Jumia.com has it available for =N=140,000.

I want to get it immediately but I have sworn never to buy anything from Jumia.

So I shall wait patiently until another vendor stocks it."

When asked why, he said "Jumia sells fake products and they never reply or attend to you when you complain. They give you a bad product and then ignore you. I tell you. Everybody I know who has shopped with them has a bad experience."

Another person said: "The can even collect ur money n tell u d very product is out of stock. Then u will Ve to wait pending wen d stock is available."

A friend ordered for a product and less quantity was supplied. Till date nothing has been done according to him.
I am not for anybody just a customer who wanted to shop online
and decided to ask my friends and was shock with the revelation
but decided to verify with the public before concluding.

What is your experience with jumia, konga and the likes

Honest opinion please
