Here's what I got today...didn't believe the ridiculous price but the quality compensated for it. Sold for ₦90k.

There should be more to this...His personality may be part of the reasons why he hasn't find his foot ever since.

Deep focus plus proper discipline on one single work regardless of the nature can transform him. He should look inward, get a mentor or join a progressive community....doesn't matter whether it's church, club etc.

Every generation is meant to stand on the shoulders of the generation before it. This is one of the beautiful principles of family and human progress. A good father does not desire his son to become merely a copy of himself. He wants his son to take what he started, learn from his experiences, avoid the mistakes he made, and ultimately become a better version of what he was able to achieve.

The same is true of a loving mother. She hopes her children will grow into people of integrity, wisdom, responsibility, and good character. The purpose of family should not be stagnation. It should be progress.

A father is often a son's first example of what it means to be a man. Long before a boy begins reading books about leadership, responsibility, business, marriage, or sacrifice, he is watching his father. He observes how his father works, how he handles pressure, how he treats people, how he responds to failure, how he provides for his family, and how he conducts himself when nobody is watching.

Not every lesson a father teaches is intentional. Some lessons come from his successes. Others come from his failures.

Looking up to one's father does not mean believing that he is perfect. Every father is human. He will have strengths and weaknesses, admirable qualities and imperfections. To respect your father is not to deny his weaknesses. It is to recognize the value of his journey, the sacrifices he made, and the lessons he acquired through years of experience. A son who respects his father gains an important advantage: he does not have to learn every lesson the hard way.

He can learn discipline and responsibility from his father's experience. He can understand the value of hard work and perseverance. He can benefit from mistakes that his father has already paid for with time, money, pain, and sometimes regret. He also develops a stronger sense of identity because he understands where he came from.

A wise son therefore studies his father carefully. He studies what his father did right and tries to understand why it worked. He also studies what his father did wrong and makes a conscious decision not to repeat those mistakes.

His father's victories become examples. His father's failures become lessons. His father's sacrifices become motivation. And this is why becoming better than one's father should never be interpreted as an act of disrespect. In many ways, it can be one of the highest forms of honour.

A father who built a small business should be happy to see his son build a larger one. A father who attained a certain level of education should be proud if his son goes further. A father who struggled through poverty naturally hopes that his children will experience greater financial stability and that their own children will have even more opportunities.

This is how families progress. However, becoming "better" than your father should not be reduced to making more money. You can become a better man without becoming a richer man.

You can have greater emotional intelligence. You can become a better husband. You can become a more present father. You can develop stronger character. You can make wiser decisions. You can become more patient, more disciplined, more compassionate and more responsible.

The true measure of progress is not simply how much wealth one generation accumulates compared with another. It is also the quality of the human being that the family produces.

If every generation merely reproduces the previous one, society eventually stands still. But when each generation takes the lessons, sacrifices and achievements of the previous generation and builds upon them, families become stronger and society moves forward.

The same principle applies to our mothers. A mother's sacrifices are often the ones that receive the least recognition. She carries, nurtures, protects, teaches, comforts and supports her children, often making sacrifices that may never appear on any balance sheet.

Many mothers give up opportunities, comfort, time and personal ambitions so that their children can have a better life. Honouring a mother therefore requires more than simply saying, "I love you."

It means speaking to her with respect. It means appreciating her sacrifices. It means supporting her as she grows older. It means protecting her dignity and showing gratitude for the role she played in your life.

A man's treatment of his mother can reveal important things about his character. A man who has learned to appreciate the woman who raised him is more likely to understand the value of sacrifice, care and responsibility.

But honour does not mean blind agreement.

A mature son can disagree with his mother without disrespecting her. He can make independent decisions while still appreciating her wisdom. He can recognise that his mother comes from a different generation and may see certain issues differently, while maintaining love and respect for her.



That is maturity. And then comes one of the most consequential decisions a man will make in his life: choosing a wife.

Marriage is not simply about finding someone you are attracted to. It is about choosing the person with whom you intend to build a significant part of your life.

A wife becomes a life partner, a confidant, a source of support during difficult seasons, a co-builder of the family and, potentially, the mother of your children. That decision therefore deserves wisdom.

A man should look beyond physical attraction and consider character, kindness, emotional maturity, wisdom, loyalty, values and the ability to navigate difficult seasons. Beauty may attract attention, but character sustains relationships.

The person you marry will influence your home, your children, your peace, your decisions and, in many ways, the direction of your life. That is why choosing a spouse should not be driven entirely by impulse, loneliness, pressure or physical attraction.

A wise man thinks beyond the present moment. He asks himself not only, "Do I enjoy being with this person today?" but also, "What kind of home can we build together? What values will our children learn from us? How will we handle difficult seasons? Can we grow together? Can we disagree without destroying each other? Can we trust one another?"

These are not questions that physical beauty alone can answer. Family is about legacy. Your parents gave you something. It may not have been wealth. It may have been education, values, discipline, sacrifice, faith, resilience, a name, a business, a home or simply the opportunity to have a better starting point than they had.

Your responsibility is to take what you received and build upon it. You do not honour your parents by remaining exactly where they stopped. You honour them by appreciating where they brought you from and using that foundation to go further.

The goal should not be to despise the previous generation because they were imperfect. Neither should it be to worship them because they came before us. The goal is to learn from them. Take their wisdom. Learn from their mistakes. Continue their good work. Correct what needs correcting. And build something that your own children can stand upon.

Perhaps that is one of the greatest responsibilities of adulthood: To leave the next generation with a better foundation than the one you inherited. That is how families grow. That is how legacies are built. And that is how one generation truly honours the one before it.

THE END!

Help with negotiation strategies!

I am planning to secure a retail space of approximately 600 square metres to serve as the flagship location for my company Mega Supermarket.

I recently identified a run-down supermarket in the heart of the city whose size, layout, and location closely match the vision I have for the flagship store.

While the property has significant potential, it appears to be underutilized, presenting what I believe could become a mutually beneficial opportunity for both the existing owners and my company.

My biggest challenge is determining the best strategy to approach the current owners and persuade them to work with me.

I would like a comprehensive strategy on how to convince the owners that partnering with my company represents a better opportunity than leaving the property idle or pursuing a conventional tenancy arrangement with other tenants (supposing they are considering that).

Please I need every practical idea, negotiation strategy, psychological approach, financial structure, partnership model, and value proposition that could increase my chances of securing this property.

I want to approach the discussions professionally and present a compelling business case that demonstrates how the owners stand to benefit from working with me.

Ps: I have a professionally well written and properly structured business plan with five year financial projection (forecast) which was designed with the likes of the location in mind.

Thank you.

The best marriage to have as a man is a marriage where:

1. You're more educated and enlightened than your wife.

2. You're richer than your wife.

3. You're older than your wife.

4. Your wife is not from a family that depends on you for their survival.

5. Your wife is not religious and seldom keeps friends.

6. Your wife is a housewife or works where she still has time to be a present mother.

7. Your wife is from a stable home where the parents are still together, but it's not her mother that is the main provider or the one that calls the shot.

8. All her sisters (especially elder sisters) are married.

9. She spends time to teach the children and takes pride in their achievement.

10. She doesn't deprive you of sex and makes sure that her vagina and home is always clean for you.

11. She doesn't have an ex or she doesn't keep in touch with her exes.

12. She doesn't enable you as her husband and wishes to push you further than she has gotten to.

13. She puts you on your toes and you cannot afford to fail her because of the value that she brings to your life.

14. She knows that you have cheated on her, but turns a blind eye, as long as you're not rubbing it on her face and you put your family first in all thy doings.

15. She knows who you are, but will never use your secrets against you. And even if the marriage doesn't work out, she'll always speak good of you because she believes and trusts that you'll always speak good of her.

Why do most Peter Obi antagonists always go by SWestern names? Kunle, Ayo, Wale, Fola, Seyi, Jimi etc...why?

If Peter Obi takes the oath of office in 2027, let’s be honest: the era of "business as usual" will end the very next morning. It won't be a magic wand performance, and it won't be an overnight fix—but it will be a level of disruption that the establishment is not prepared for.
If you are expecting a "soft landing" for the corrupt, think again. Here is exactly what we should expect during those first 100 days:

1. The End of Waste: Say goodbye to endless convoys and frivolous foreign junkets. The era of government-funded luxury is ending.

2. Audit Season: Ministries and agencies will face serious heat. Expect hidden contracts and inflated budgets to become front-page national scandals.

3. The Subsidy Reality: The conversation will return immediately. It will be painful, but this time, there will be a structure behind it.

4. Market Sentiment: The Naira might swing wildly at first...but watch as serious investors start taking notice once they see fiscal discipline.

5. Silence of the Parasites: The political middle-men and "connection" contractors will go quiet once the supply chain of free money dries up.

6. Renewed Hope: The energy among Nigerian youths will shift the national mood. Hope is a powerful tool for rebuilding.

7. The "Old Guard" Resistance: Expect the status quo to fight back. The old elite will not give up their grip on power without a massive, noisy battle.

8. Institutional Friction: Expect tension between the Presidency and established institutions that have grown comfortable with corruption.

9. Competence over Godfatherism: Appointments will be driven by merit. The era of "Who is your godfather?" is heading to the exit.

10. Education First: ASUU and universities will finally get the attention they deserve, not just in words, but in policy and funding.

11. The Brain Gain: Nigerians in the diaspora will start looking back home. Stability is the only thing they need to return.

12. Corruption Headlines: Expect a flurry of cases in the news. The cleanup will be visible and loud.

13. Forced Transparency: Governors will
suddenly realize that "transparency" is the new trend.

14. Digital Revolution: The civil service will be forced to move from paper files to digital, efficient operations.

15. NASS Drama: Attempts to cut National Assembly waste will create enough drama to last a lifetime, but it’s a necessary fight.

16. Market Confidence: Watch the stock market. Confidence returns when investors see that the leader is actually in charge.

17. Initial Hardship: Fuel prices won't drop overnight. It will be tough, and the critics will try to use this to fan the flames of unrest.

18. The Media War: Once reforms touch the pockets of the powerful, the media attacks against Obi will intensify to an unprecedented level.

19. The Digital Battleground: Online division will hit an all-time high. The clash between those who want progress and those who want the status quo will be daily.

20. The Psychology of Leadership: Most importantly, Nigerians will finally feel a sense of responsibility from the top. That alone is a massive shift.

We are talking about a total reset. It won't be easy, and it won't be pretty for those feeding off our national wealth, but it is necessary for a New Nigeria.

What do you think? Will the establishment be able to stop this, or is the change inevitable? Let's discuss.

Hoelujohn:
INEC has regretted their actions but it’s too late now. I heard that they are telling Obi to go back to LP

For some reason I'm feeling tinubu through INEC is strategically clearing LP's house for return Peter Obi back and weaken the opposition's strength.

If Fubara is not calculating, he will loose it. Wike already has the LGA chairmen who controls the LGAs and also has the house of assembly members too. This is what I call 2/0 in favor of Wike.

Fubara will now have to appoint commissioners who are politically heavy weights in those LGAs and use them to checkmate the activities of the chairman and house members.

He should also appoint LGA liaison officers like Obaseki did, give them offices and give them powers to act as overiside chairmen but on political matters. These LGA LIAISON OFFICERS will be working with the commissioners to identify, plan, implement projects in their respective LGAs, they will be like eye of the governor in the LGAs but their main unofficial job functions is take over political structure from the LGAs chairmen and Assembly members .

This will bring the equation to 2/2. Balance but in a short time, the table will flipped out Wike because the assembly members may flip to Fubara if Wike can't guarantee their re-election.

Omo, pride is a bastardize idiiiotu

Why APP?

This is a massive legislative and constitutional scandal in Nigeria. Now imagine when the rotten begins from the head?

This IT series, do I need to watch the IT movies before starting it?

Is pluribus as good as the hype?

Ai assistants may be of tremendous help with questions like this. I use Google Gemini myself and tbh with you it's been quite helpful to say the least.

cColumbus:
omo, this 24 series is taking forever to finish 😣 I still dey s4 out of 9.....but so far so good tho, dem try☺

Hey man I came here looking for people who currently watching the movie. Just finished season 4. Movie is tight and breathtaking! What episode of season 4 are you right now?

Does this apply to bail in police stations?

He has always been in APC! He only made it official now.

Federal character and equitable state representation are constitutional principles, and it is crucial that the slots allocated to Sokoto State are genuinely filled by its qualified indigenes.

This is a national security agency recruitment, and its foundation must be built on honesty and integrity. I urge the Nigerian Army and all relevant state authorities to work together to ensure that merit is upheld and fair representation is guaranteed.

Abbasta:
Just got mail today for an aptitude test, please can we get any insight from those who already took the test.

Aptitude test? Is that after you were shortlisted or have you written another set of online test before? Been waiting from ages to hear from them.

When a woman is truly attracted to her man, intimacy is not something you have to beg for, negotiate for, or schedule after three to four business days. A woman who desires her man will initiate, she will touch you, she will kiss you, she will crave you. She will not need money to enter her feminine side, and she will not block intimacy every time she is stressed.

What you’re dealing with is not a woman who “doesn’t love sex”. You’re dealing with a woman who doesn’t desire you enough for intimacy to come naturally. There is a huge difference. Women reserve intimacy for the men they genuinely want. You can’t force that, you can’t argue it into existence, and you definitely can’t marry your way into fixing it.

If she tells you to masturbate, or even suggests you can go outside just for sex, that means she is not invested in that part of the relationship. And if intimacy becomes a debate every time, brother, marriage will make it ten times worse.

You need to stop focusing on changing her. You cannot change a grown woman’s sexual nature.

What you can do is decide whether this is something you can live with for the rest of your life. If intimacy is important to you, then you owe it to yourself to be with a woman who actually wants you, not one who gives you excuses and stress.

Talk to her calmly and tell her intimacy is a core need for you and the current pattern is not sustainable. If nothing changes, then you need to rethink this relationship. Love is good, but you also need compatibility. Choose the woman who chooses you.

Lanruze:
I am personally ashamed and disappointed for the Governor Of Enugu Peter Mbah who was becoming the shinning light amongst the S/E states.

He pursued pittance as a pawn in the hands of PBAT in consolidating power throughout Southern Nigeria.

Tinubu stands no chance in the North against Atiku and he has projected it by dangling pittance on all the gullible SE Governors with miserable humongous allocations in Naira (whilst valueless in Dollars), securing a second term for the Governor and weaking Peter Obi's dominance in the SE.

For the first time the Prospects of a Peter Obi being President is as clear as crystal and his own Igbo Kinsmen are throwing him under the bus.

Shame to MBAH.

Nigerians will decide in 2027, The GenZ(s) will decide in 2027 and diasporans are resolute to stop the deceit, propaganda and story spinning.

With a staggering 139 million poverty induced Nigerians ; Nigeria will never make the mistake of re-electing the catastrophic disaster again as President.

It's called politics bro. Your feelings doesn't matter on this. For PBAT, it's whatever gets him back to ASOROCK

headbasher96:
do you even know what it means for someone to die in your room not to talk of the person been an expatriate

Expatriate? Who's an expatriate here?

headbasher96:
until he is proven to be innocent the police will keep him in hold up until the investigation is complete is that not a setback do you know the time it will take if the US government does not intervene you hear our cops tell they are investigating but you are just lock up with no investigation going on it might be the family running around trying to know what really happened.

Things doesn't work that way. There's no difference between the woman and other average Nigerians that dies everyday. People gets sick and die, that doesn't mean people close to them should be locked up.

headbasher96:
She flew all the way to come and spoil the guy joy what will the police now say if the guy is not already locked up

Locked up for what exactly? What's his crime?

This is the state of Nigeria. While Boko Haram and other criminals kill our people in the North, and our economy suffocates us, the so-called Department of State Services (DSS) is busy writing letters to Facebook. Their priority isn't securing the nation or bringing murderers to justice, it's protecting their "Commander-in-Chief's" ego from "offensive" comments.

The same DSS that is "too idle and incompetent to secure Nigeria" is now a digital police force, begging a foreign company to do their dirty work. They are a disgrace to the uniform and a slap in the face to every Nigerian who has lost a loved one to insecurity.

How long will we accept this? How many more lives must be lost before we demand a government that serves the people, not itself? The DSS has shown its true colours. They are nothing but a political tool for a failed leadership. We must not continue to be silent.
