Do people actually rest in the toilets? So, why are toilets called restrooms?

Would you be comfortable in a public to say that you want to defecate or even urinate? The answer is obviously a NO!


Have you heard of euphemism? Euphemism is a mild, indirect, or vague expression for words or expressions thought to be offensive, harsh, or blunt. For example,  “To pass away” is a euphemism for “to die.”

Restroom, washroom, and bathroom are euphemisms to disguise the fact that you want to 'poo' or 'piss'. In public places, these rooms do not have baths, so we say restroom or washroom.

Another euphemism for the toilets could be 'ladies' or 'gents'. Actually, at a time, rooms were dedicated for ladies to adjust their corsets in public places, hence they were called restrooms.


So, now you know the reasons toilets are called restrooms..... EUPHEMISM!

Kindly help move it to the right section as well, thanks.

Abeg tell dem.

But with the way some Corp members fight for this CLO of a thingy ehn, you will think they would be given automatic employment after their service yr

I know of a female who bribed her way in kind, to get that position, cos many corp members were up for that post at that time. Trust some L.I and Z.I nah.

.

They look good together....

Cute couple

You nailed it, OP.

I do all of these sha

Just as we all know there's no perfect relationship or person, some people are just all shades of wrong. Well, he might not be a woman beater and she might not be a serial cheat, still, there are some other things that might just be as bad as those. If your partner constantly does the following things, you might just need to take a break and evaluate the relationship.


1. They compete with you.

You two should argue, but the goal shouldn't be about winning. You should be able to listen and understand your partner's point of view. If your partner won't keep an open mind to your opinion, the relationship is more of a competition, which isn't healthy.



2 . They scare you.

If you constantly have to think about what you say to your partner out of fear to how they would respond, you might just want to rethink the relationship. You should not be too scared of your partner that you can't talk to them.


3. You have more third party, than you have yourselves.

The first person you should relate your challenges to should be your partner. If your partner isnt the one you break whatever news to, then what is your relationship about? Also, if your relationship is one where a third party has a better say than your partner, you might just want to reconsider your stand. Your partner should be your best friend.


4. They don't accept faults

Your partner can't always be right, because no one is perfect. A good relationship is one where you two can see your faults, accept blames, work on it and become better persons. If your partner feels you are always responsible for the wrongs in your relationship, you should consider talking to them about it, because it takes two to tango.


5. They treat other people badly

Does he yell at the janitor for no reason? Does she curse the gateman every single time? If he treats people around him poorly and with no regards, you might want to keep an eye on them, and monitor them carefully. Remember the saying what goes around comes around.


If your partner does any of the above consistently, you should talk to them about it, communication is key to a healthy relationship. The change might not be a sudden one on their part, but gradually, they should be able to adjust. If your partner would not listen, it would be better to just take a break and think about this: can you cope with these attitudes for the rest of your life?

PreacherX:
I never even knew they do award some sort of certificate, I would have said....Who CLO help?

They do award a certificate.

God help us to make heaven after our long sojourn on earth.

MhizzAJ:
Have not seen anyone who used d certificate to his advantage .

But i think being the CLO improves your leadership abilities...u would get to interact with diverse group of people and also coordinate them and since a certificate is being issued, i think it can also be submitted during job interviews since most companies need people with leadership abilities/team players

Well said, thanks.

A Corper Liason Officer, popularly called CLO is a corp member who is chosen or appointed to basically liase with other fellow corp members and NYSC officials. He ensures that information get across to the corp members at the approprite time. He organises meetings, schedules with corp members and NYSC officials to ensure the smooth running of the programme in his local government of duty. 
The CLO's Primary Place of Appointment, PPA is at the local government where the Area Liason Officer, Local Government Liason Officer (who are NYSC officials) work.

Usually, after the one year period of serving the fatherland is up, the CLO is awarded a certificate of recognition, in addition to the NYSC certificate he gets. Sometimes, there's a tussle for this post among corp members, as there's a belief that the recognition certificate given to the CLO gives him an edge in the labour market, others claimed it gives you a sort of affluence in the society,  especially if you vye for a top or influential position.

Now, here's my question. Of what relevance is the CLO recognition certificate after NYSC? Do you know anyone who's used the certificate to his advantage? Or should we consider it just another piece of cardboard stock? In other words, who CLO Certificate help? Kindly tell us in the comment box.

5. Flaunt! flaunt! flaunt!
To be a Nigerian Slay Queen, you should be able to flaunt it all. You taking your bath? Flaunt it! You eating at a restaurant? Flaunt it baby! Even if you have just two pairs of shoes that you have, but you so desire a shoe close, go to your big Aunt's place, take a picture of her shoe closet, and flaunt it. A Nigerian Slay Queen will soak garri and groundnut for breakfast, but will flaunt a picture jollof rice, garnished with peppered chicken, with a side dressing of Coleslaw!


6. Likes and follow

To be a slay Queen, you should have plenty of likes and comments on your pictures. With comments like "you are hot", "baby, be mine", who says you are not yet a Slay Queen? Her success is measured when the above gets converted into a good number of likes, follows and comments.


Need I say more?

3. Sultry pictures
To qualify as a Nigerian Slay Queen, you should be able to give your fans sultry pictures, which can satisfy the male fans annoying urges. It's a world where a picture which bares all of a lady's body is praised while a decent picture looks boring, sad!


4. Trend tracker 
If you can't keep up with the latest trend, forget being a Nigerian Slay Queen. If you want to be a Nigerian Slay Queen, be ready to invest in fashion, whether it is fake Michael Korrs bag, or not, you just need to look good. Whether you can afford it or not, even if you have to borrow clothes from your friends, just look good!

In this context, I like to define Social media as an avenue to project an image of who you want to be, without actually putting in the commitment required to being that person in real life. Understand? I mean you actually have this dream of becoming a big boy, with 30 billion in the account. But instead of working in real life to be that person, you flaunt some fake cash on Instagram, and tag it 'living my life'. You remember that one person who put up a picture of some cute dogs and call them hers? The Internet went agog when it was found out she wasn't the owner of the dogs. Actually, she got the pictures of the dogs somewhere, and decided to flaunt them as hers. Dog thief, right?

With that said about a little of the social media hullabaloo, I like to talk about the Social Media Slay Queens. A Slay Queen should mean someone who is talented, beautiful, fashionable according to Urban Dictionary. But you know what, the Naija version of who a Slay Queen is, is actually 'different'. I like to explain what I mean by this, but I would allow the following starter package needed to be a Slay Queen give you the gist.... #wide grin.

So, what do you need to be a Naija Slay Queen? Here's the starter pack to be a Nigerian Slay Queen...


1. An Instagram Account, with a number of gullible followers
Once you have an Instagram, or Snapchat account where you can filter the life out of your picture before uploading it for your fans, you have one of the things needed to be a Nigerian Slay Queen.


2. A lying spirit 
Nigerian slay Queens never get old. For where? She celebrates her 16th birthday every year, and she displays it online for all to see that she keeps getting younger. If you can't lie about certain things like your age, your background, etc, you are not ready to be a Nigerian Slay Queen!

Nice one!

prof800:
Not four kids o.!

She was referring to her four little puppies in the interview.
I don't even think she still has them all now.

She is a yoga babe.
So crushers can keep crushing.

OK. She has 4 dogs.

Lotachukwu, also known as Kiki in Jenifa's diary has revealed some of the things we need to know about her. The single mom of four, who is a beauty to behold revealed that she's a hopeless romantic and that her mom influenced her life a lot. Here are the 15 things she wrote about herself, that you probably didn't know about her.

"So many things I can’t write about, but basically, these are the top 15 things about this vintage soul called Lota…

1). My full name is Ugwu Lotachukwu Jacinta Obianuju Amelia. I named myself Elixir, its the drink of the gods in Ancient Greek and it’s the source of their eternal youth and beauty (I’m a big fan of mythologies). And yes, with a face like this, the potion does exist.

2). I’m very, what I like to call ‘God-aware’. I’m not a Christian (Christ-like) yet, but I think about God in anything thing I do, not that it prevents me from committing sin all the time though. I guess it comes from my name “Lotachukwu” which means “remember God”. I am very scared of The Big Guy, and I try to make amends in my own little way, Like I don’t have sex the day before I travel. Just one of little things silly things I do to make amends in case I die on the road.

3). My mum is the greatest human influence in my life. And she’s nothing like Prof. Dora Akunyili or the likes, she’s just her and that’s all I want to be. She taught me consciously and unconsciously just about every way I live my life

4). I’m a single mum with 4kids I’d do anything for. And I have a boyfriend called Andre and he’s a 2004 toyota rav4.

5). I’m wired weird. Lol. I don’t see things from the usual or socially acceptable POV. And the quickest way to my heart is to respect my opinion.

6). I am very beautiful but that’s not what makes me attractive. There’s just something about me. Yep, no one has figured it out yet. Personally, I think It’s not just the fact that I’m witty, smart, intelligent, beautiful, selfless, honest, goofy, playful, or the fact that I’m a decent human being with a great sense of humor, it’s the amazing way it’s all combined. And that was me being modest.

7). I’m an optimist. So yeah for me, life is always the sunny side up. I’ve had bad things happen to me, so I understand it could always have being worse. So when things happen and everyone else is complaining and I can’t be bothered, just remember, I see my glass as always half full.

. I’m a hopeless romantic with a filthy mind. And that’s putting it mildly on both counts.

9). I’m a Sagittarian royalty. A Sagittarius through and through. Wise like the centaur and straight like an arrow.



10). I talk to myself a lot when I’m alone, which is almost all the time. The reason is simple. I am one of the smartest people I know, and I am easy to talk to and I give great advice. Do you think I’m too old to be a therapist?

11). I have a dance routine to all my favorite songs. So everytime you see me singing, just know there’s an Indian movie thing going on in my head.

12). I’m a sucker for love. Yep, I’m still searching for my one, true love and don’t dare tell me true love doesn’t exist. So it’s understandable that My greatest fear is ‘settling’ into marriage. Getting married for a reason other than “he makes me happy and I’m head over heels in love with him”.

13). I’ve never gone out on a romantic date before, like a dinner or a movie date. Neither have I ever had breakfast in bed or received flowers. At my age, just imagine. Smh

14). I know what my future holds and it doesn’t scare me. I won’t say I see my future, but I’ve always known how It would turn out, I guess that’s my gift. So I know I won’t live till old age. Maybe 35/40 tops, and I’ve accepted that. So love me while you can. But then again, maybe the world will end before y’all can get a chance to eat my funeral rice.  *ntoi*

15). I was made to be a star."

PS: The 4 kids she mentioned in no (4) above are actually her dogs.....
