Our appointment with death has been booked but we don't know when and where.

I have heard people saying the following statement too many times, especially when they're been admonished:

"It's my life, I can live it the way I like or do whatever I like with it"

Is this true? Can we really do whatever we like with our lives? How will society look like when everyone does whatever they like because 'it's their lives' ?

Good day, Fellas. My introvertism is really strange. I rarely mingle with people in a social gathering. I like being alone most times. I hate gossips, busybodies and backbittings, unnecessary laughter or noise. Whenever i see 3 or more people gathering and chatting together, i won't join them. If it's possible for me to take another route for them not to see me or notice me, i would do so but if i noticed that there is no other route except passing where they are, i would greet them and go. I.e how far? Good evening. I don walka be that. But if u are one,two sitting together, i might join u. Anything like three, four or more people, i don walka be. If i am in the house and 3 or 4 people i don't feel like relating to are passing by, i could remain in the house until they pass by b4 i will come out. I rarely make friends and can be very selective making friends. I rarely talk, so quiet but I chose to talk when i want to. I'm loner too.

That's extreme and it's bad. Too much is bad. A time will come when you'll have to open up. No one person can do it alone in life. You'll have to start mingling and relating with people.

If you work in an office, you will have relate wit your colleagues and managers. If you own a business, you'll have to interact , mingle with your customers and promote your business (except you don't want to make money).

See ehn, I am an introvert too and the only upside is, it's helps you mind your business and stay out of trouble. Other than that, you have alot to lose as an [b]extreme[\b] introvert. I have lost out on life-changing opportunities just because "I loved my space" & couldn't network with people that matter.

Though, I have worked (and still working) on it and yes I'm doing fine at my job. Now, If I'm alone, I'm fine. If I'm in a gathering of people discussing, I'm still fine.

So start working on it. You can't help yourself alone in this world. Heavens help people through other people. So loosen up and learn to mingle and socialize( not everybody oo).

Too much of introversion is bad, especially when it comes with lack of social skills like networking and public speaking.

I'm an introvert: I can play and enjoy myself alone, always indoors, few friends and running away from the spotlight.

I have lost out on lot of opportunities just because I couldn't stand up and utter two to three sentences. One of such is when we had a representatives of WHO visit my secondary school. An assembly of all students was held for them to address us. One of the representatives asked a question about hygene. The assembly was silent, I knew the answer but I was scared to speak up. So I told my classmate the answer, he gave the answer and guess what! He won a LAPTOP!

I went home crying and thereafter made a conscious decision to develop myself. Today, I'm still introverted with more improved social skills. I can relate well with people, address a gathering without little or no fright.

On the positive side, introversion has saved me from troubles and rejections. However, it encourages you to remain in your comfort zone which is bad for growth.

So how has the loan company ruined you? You took a loan when you clearly knew you had no means of paying back, so what were you expecting? Will you take similar loans from your friends and colleagues and not expect to pay back? Aside closing these loan sharks, I think the government really needs to deal with you defaulters because what you lots do is clearly an act of theft.

Thank you bro. These loan apps didn't force anyone of them to take loans. They have one accept their terms and conditions (which most won't read) before they payout any loan. So what's the fault of the loan guys? Honestly, an average Nigerian is the lite version of our politicians.

Rubbish talk by an upcoming terrorist.

Exactly, no surprise. Your words are a reflection of your insides.

yrex01:
it's funny when a church suffer bomb attack and our so called Christian brothers start calling muslims names without even knowing the culprit and it's more funnier when a mosque suffers the same attack but muslims are to blame as for that too.
it's just too funny how hypocrites these Christians really are.
inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

Bro, it's the price for being a Muslim. This is the time when holding on to this religion will be as though one is holding on to burning coal. And upon Allah we rely.

You never transfer whete money go leave your account and not drop in the other persons account baa or ATM cash dispense error where your money will be deducted with no cash (best to use your bank's ATM machine for resolving the problem is either automatically or easily resolved when complaint us laid after 24 hours if the transfer does not reverse ).

Baba, many times ATM dispense error happens and all is resolved with just a mail or dispense error form. Far better than POS crap

Since when my 20k hang for POS, dragged with Zenith Bank for 6 months and Bank say I collect am, I no dae use my ATM card again for POS withdrawal again. Either they take transfer or I find ATM machine.

All you people that are condemning him, are also the people that go about saying "do what make you happy bla bla bla.. it's all about you bla bla bla.
That is to show that you all know what is totally unacceptable and what is good
Please allow your brother to do what pleases him, it's his body

Surprisingly, your point is very valid!

rowlandwow:
I replied an hour too, but without the attached documents. Sent the signed documents later that day

Did you sign and attach too?

rowlandwow:

I'm looking for Siwes placement where they'll pay. I'm currently studying mechanical engineering. Any information, links or referral will be highly appreciated

Forget money for now, focus on where you will get knowledge. Money will come later.

Getting a good company to carryout IT is challenging talk more of the one that pays.

Go to British American Tobacco (careers.bat.com) for internship opportunities or you visit their factory at Ibadan. That's all from me.
