Politics / Northern Elders Forum Justify Herdsmen On Killings Across The Country by damilogogle(m): 2:39pm On Feb 18, 2018
A former Vice Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University, and spokesperson of the Northern Elders Forum, NEF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi has vehemently defended the incessant killings by Fulani herdsmen across the country.

Abdullahi also said that the herdsmen menace is politically motivated by the South to disrupt the politically united North ahead of the 2019 general elections, adding that this was how Boko Haram was introduced during Goodluck Jonathan’s government which led to his failure in the 2015 polls.

Justifying the killings, the Professor said that the herdsmen are killing members of their host communities in order to defend themselves, adding that the herders were free to take the cattle to any part of the country the same way an Igbo man does his business.

In a strong worded interview with Vanguard, Abdullahi said, “I have been involved in debates against some respected people from the southern part of this country who believe that this country is not balanced because the North is too big; because the North is too politically united, so there must be a way of disrupting this unity, and this is what we are seeing on ground today, and the elements that are being used are the Fulani herdsmen.

“This matter would be looked at properly; political alliances and so on are welcome. You don’t need to lose blood, or property to engage in political alliance or whatever you want, or still, you don’t need to introduce excuses that will lead to loss of lives.
We saw this when the Boko Haram was on ground; they said northerners created the sect to disrupt former President Goodluck Jonathan’s government, which led to his failure in the last election, and so on.
“Now that Boko Haram is out of the way, the new excuse is the Fulani herdsmen. This is what is happening in other places except in areas that you are talking.

“We have seen what they called a new handshake across the Niger; it is political, and we have seen the mourning that has taken place in Benue and other places to show that the monolithic North is not in tandem with the Middle Belt; it is all politics.
Our Middle Belters don’t need to take the agenda that appears to be a thing of distrust. We are not going to force anybody into a relationship politically or otherwise. We see this as a political agenda.
Asked if herdsmen are not the ones committing the murders, he added, “The truth is, if you want to kill me and I have a chance first, I will kill you, or you do want people to be killed and not defend themselves?
By your reporting, you have denied them justice and government also has denied them justice by not going to arrest those that are killing them. So, they defend themselves.

On the herdsmen that kidnapped, raided and Chief Olu Falae’s farm ablaze, he said, “My uncle was kidnapped last week in Kaduna, my cousin’s children were also kidnapped and they had to go and find N2.5 million to pay. Why is Olu Falae case different?

“Because he was Secretary to the Federal Government? He is a Nigerian just like my uncle and my cousin whose children were kidnapped. The right of every citizen is important under the law. Why is he so special?

“What about the impunity of the people killing herdsmen? The herdsmen in Nigeria are reacting to the injustice meted out daily to them?
“You people, you Nigerians, including you who are biased, who are not prepared to protect the rights and interests of herdsmen. They are killed but not reported, that is not acceptable.

“Herdsmen operate in these places you mentioned because the country has denied them the traditional routes which the British created for them IN 1914 when they occupied this country because they realised that, like cars require tracks, herdsmen also require tracks they can use to graze and drink water.
“The British provided it for them and gazetted it but people have denied them these routes. So, where do you expect the animals to follow? They have to follow somewhere and the easy road is the one other people are using. We are all living in Nigeria.

Asked if he was trying to justify the menace of herdsmen, he maintained, “I am justifying it very strongly because herdsmen are being unjustly treated in this country.

“They are businessmen just like the farmers whose crops are being destroyed. They should invest in their business; buy ranches like the farmers bought their parcels of land.

They are businessmen. If an Igbo man could go to my state and set up a shop, why shouldn’t herdsmen operate elsewhere? Or are you the one who planted the grass the animals are feeding on? Are you the one who created the water they drink?

“The land belongs to Nigerians and herdsmen are Nigerians. If an Igbo man can go to the North and set up a business, why won’t herdsmen go to the South, including your village, to graze their cattle?

“Where we come from, you don’t pay for land, you only ask for permission to use it. That is why I said you people are biased against other people and that is why the peace of this country will be very difficult.”

Nairaland / General / Over 300,000 Displaced Nigerians Taking Refuge In Neighbouring States —minister by damilogogle(m): 7:59pm On Feb 08, 2018
Mrs Zainab Ahmad, the Minister of State, Budget and National Planning, on
Monday, says no fewer than 300,000 Nigerians displaced by Boko Haram
insurgency are taking refuge in Cameroun, Chad and Niger republics.
She made the disclosure at the Special Town Hall Meeting for Military and
Security Agencies in Maiduguri.

She said 8.5 million persons were displaced by Boko Haram insurgency in the
northeast and that 80 percent of the displaced persons were from Borno.
She explained that 30 percent of the people were taking shelter at Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps, while 70 percent of them were staying in
host communities.

The minister said the Federal Government, in partnership with the UN and
humanitarian actors, had initiated various programmes to address the effects
of the crisis in the region.
Zainab said the government had distributed 30,000 tonnes of grains under the
Emergency Food Intervention Programme, adding that the government, in
concert with World Food Programme (WFP) was providing food assistance to
over one million people on monthly basis.

She added that healthcare services were also extended to 42 local government
areas in collaboration with the UNICEF and World Health Organisation (WHO).
She noted that “government had been providing healthcare services to six
million people in the past two years.
“We also controlled diseases such as cholera, measles and Hepatitis, as well
as malnutrition and

provided water to affected persons.”
Ahmad said the government had worked out modalities to ensure continuity
and consolidate on the feat achieved in reconstruction, rehabilitation,
reconciliation and resettlement.

She stressed the need for effective programmes to build resilience and provide
livelihoods to enable displaced persons to return to their homes and resume
their normal lives.

While commending the military over the successes recorded in the counter-
insurgency operation in the region, she said the military had been
overstretched and called for engagement of police to facilitate restoration of
civil authorities.

The minister expressed concern over proliferation of humanitarian
organisations especially in Borno, saying most of the groups operate without
proper registration.

She suggested effective modalities to fast-track rehabilitation and training of
teachers, nurses and doctors to address manpower shortage and enhance
delivery of quality education and healthcare services.
Minister of Interior, Abdulrahman Dambazau, said Federal Government had
signed a tripartite agreement with Cameroun and UN-Refugee Agency
(UNHCR) to facilitate the safe and voluntary return of refugees.
He said “there are about 90,000 Nigerian refugees in Cameroun alone.
“We have a technical committee and we are working with Cameroonian
authorities to sort out some issues.

“The movement, expected to hold now, has, however, been shifted to next
month.”
Dambazau said sound programmes were also implemented for rehabilitation,
resettlement and de-radicalisation of repentant insurgents.

He added that government had adopted effective modalities to address social,
economic and ecological challenges facing the northeast region.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the special town hall meeting
was organised by the Ministry of Information and Culture.
The meeting was attended by Minister of Defence Mansur Dan-Ali, Minister of
Information and Culture Lai Muhammad, Minister of State, Budget and
National Planning, Zainab Ahmad and Minister of Interior Abdulrahman
Dambazau.

Other participants included Gov. Kashim Shettima of Borno, members of
national and state houses of assembly, emirs, humanitarian and community-
based organisations, as well as civil society organisations.

Culture / 2018 Oodua Festival: Are Ona Kakanfo Reverses Aole’s Curse On Yoruba by damilogogle(m): 6:34pm On Feb 08, 2018
The 15th Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland and Chief Promoter of Olokun
Festival Foundation, last week stormed Ile Ife, the spiritual headquarter of
Yorubaland for the annual Oodua Festival with a renewed strength and
determination to continue championing promotion of Yoruba culture and
tradition and defend the race.

Adams who was appearing in public for the first official assignment after
his installation as the Generalissimo of Yorubaland on January 13 by Oba
Lamidi Olayiwola Adeyemi, the Alaafin of Oyo, in the historical town of Oyo, in
his speech demonstrated dexterity and high level of determination to unite
Yoruba race and defend it against any form of external social cultural or
spiritual aggression.

Oodua Festival is an annual festival championed by Olokun Festival
Foundation, to celebrate the progenitor of Yoruba race and pray for more
blessings and unity in among the Yoruba, the annual event features traditional
rites, beauty pageant lectures and entertainment and it is always celebrated in
Ile-Ife. Like the previous edition, the 2018 Oodua Festival witnessed
mammoth crowd of participants and tourists from different parts of the world
and provide opportunities for business owners, transporters, Okada riders, food
vendors and others to enjoy great patronage and huge income.
The Ooni of Ife, who always declares the event opened did not go otherwise
in 2018 edition as His Imperial Majesty, Oba Enitan Adeyeye Ogunwusi Ojaja
11 declared the event open at the Oduduwa palace where Aare Gani Adams
has gone to pay him homage with his entourage.

Ooni who was meeting the Aare for the first time after his installation
described Adams as God’s choice and specially bred also offered special
prayers for the progress of Yorubaland and unity of the people of the race.
Aare Gani Adams was accompanied to the palace by the executives and some
members of Oodua Progressives Union, (OPU), a social-cultural organisation of
Yoruba people in the Diaspora, with branches in 79 countries across the
continents of Africa, Asia, Europe and America.

The Chief promoter of Olokun Festival Foundation and National leader of the
Oodua People’s Congress (OPC) started his welcome remark with what can
be termed as a reversal of Aole’s curse against Yoruba race with a special
prayer which lasted for about five minutes after which he descended on the
agent of destabilisation of Yoruba race warning and urging them to desist
from working against the interest of the race

“It is a new dawn because we have come a long way in our struggles for unity
among the Yorubas. Today, as I stand before you, great sons and daughters
of Oduduwa, I urge you all to join me in my vision and commitment to unite
the race. This is a dream not too big, and we can all make it a reality.
In the past, Yoruba race occupied a special pride of place across the world.
This was possible because of our unique tradition, cultural heritage and
intelligence. We were once a blessed race among the comity of nations, in the
past, we eulogised our gods and deities; we cherished hard work and diligence,
we appreciated truthfulness and honesty. We honored talents and wisdom,
there was a common identity between the traditional institutions and our core
values are tailored towards making us a complete man. That was what
translates to what Yorubas of those years called ‘The Omoluabi” a complete
man.
“Today, everything has changed, the good old days have gone with the winds
and our unique sense of pride had been relegated to the background and the
ugly result is what we see today, we have lost everything that we can be
proud of as a people and before our very own eyes the new generation of sons
and daughters of Yoruba have lost touch with our history, this is too bad
because our past history is supposed to be template for achieving the great
future. It is good to say it anywhere in the world that Yoruba race is blessed
with a population of over 250 million people across the world, but has that
population really helped us in anyway? Not at all.

While commending the efforts of custodians of culture and tradition including
the Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi, Ooni of Ife Oba Adeyeye Enitan
Ogunwusi, Ojaja 11, for the concerted efforts at different forums to promote
unity of Yoruba race Adams said “As the foremost Yoruba Obas, history has
bestowed on them the role of a bridge builder and a unifying factor, therefore, I
call on the other Yoruba Obas to join hands with them so that the Yoruba
race will take its place of pride and become one of the greatest races in the
world.”
Adams, however, urged the Yoruba people to always embrace their culture
and tradition and spend more resources to promote tourism potentials in
Yorubaland, he also appealed to politicians to align with the traditional
institutions and partner with the traditional rulers for common goal of ensuring
grassroots development

Ooni of Ife, Oba Ogunwusi, while addressing the crowd said Yoruba race is a
special race with unique features and tradition “We are not only the oldest,we
are the best, Yorubaland is the centre of the world. Our unique tradition and
culture earned us respect and a place of pride among other tribes, it is
therefore essential for us to be united and work together as a tribe, we
should continue to communicate with God through fasting and prayer and
appeasing to our gods for prosperity and progress of the land.”

Apart from the eulogy of the foremost African monarch, other custodians of
culture and stakeholders who graced the occasion including Owa of Ijeroland
lauded Adams for his consistency in promotion of Yoruba culture and prayed
for his success and long life as the Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland.

The guest lecturer, Professor Adisa Ogunfolakan, in his lecture said the
emergence of different pan Yoruba groups and most importantly Gani Adams
led Oodua People’s Congress is restoring hope and faith that Oduduwa as root
of our emergence and oneness should be held supreme preserved and adored.
While congratulating Gani Adams on his installation as the 15th Aare Ona
Kakanfo Ogunfolakan, who is the Director Natural History Museum, Obafemi
Awolowo University, Ile-Ife said ” You are a round peg in a round hole, indeed,
you are the Oduduwa of our time, Oduduwa did it and achieved it, I pray that
the irumole olukotun, irumole olukosi will help and sustain you to achieve
unity and oneness of Yoruba people.”

Dignitaries at the event include Owa Of Ajero, Oba Joseph Adewole, Onigbaye
of Igbaye Oba Joseph Morohunfoye, Rotimi Falola, Sangodeji, Sango of Africa
Ife traditional chiefs and others.

Tourists and participants were thrilled with fascinating performances of
different cultural troupes including Oodua cultural group, and others.

Fashion / 10 Stunning Ways To Tie Gele Will Capture Your Heart! by damilogogle(m): 2:58am On Feb 08, 2018
Are you going to a special event and choosing a gele? Do you want to find out 10 top latest ways to tie gele? We offer you the most interesting types of gele styles for that will make heads turn!


Nigerian gele is a headdress made with a piece of textile or scarf wrapped around the head. It's one of the most colorful elements of women's clothing.





Here they are top 10 latest ways to tie gele

1. Colored turban Gele with a top knot



This method is used for everyday wearing. It does not require much time and some special experience. How to tie gele? You take a strip of fabric with a short length, but enough to wrap it once around the head. Then tie a beautiful knot close to the forehead or laterally. After that, you need to hide the tips neatly. As an alternative solution, you can beautifully straighten the rest of tips and give them the shape of petals or a bow. Otherwise, you can twist them.


2. Colored turban Gele with a lower knot




If you want to open the face maximally and create a very neat look using a gele, you can take the same piece of fabric as in the first version or a small scarf and wrap it once or twice around the head. Then you need to tie a lower knot on the back of the head under the hair. The hair, in this case, is completely hidden under the gele. For this option, you need to take a thin and soft cloth to avoid the gele’s ruffling, hide the tips carefully. The ends are tucked under the knot.



For the first and second option, Ankara fabrics or other thin and ordinary cotton, multi-colored or one-colored textiles are best.


3. Classic




For such gele, shiny and dense fabrics such as satin, crystal, and brocade are used. For making a classical version, a long piece of fabric is needed. The fabric is tightly wrapped around the head several times. Each new layer of fabric is ties round the forehead several times and spread out wide at the top.

With the last layer, you make around the head tie something like a crown. The denser the fabric is, the better the layer keeps the shape.


4. Infinity pleats Gele



This type of gele often requires help to tie properly. You need a very long piece of fabric since many layers are wrapped around to create the pleats.



5. Beaded Gele




This gele is often decorated with sequins, beads, paillettes, and artificial pearls. You can place the decor in a chaotic order or create some pattern. Embroidery with stones goes beautifully on the last and beautifully draped gele’s layer. You can use one kind of beads as well as combine several options.


6. Gele with an openwork pattern



The openwork pattern should not be very wide since the fabric must keep in shape. As a rule, such patterns are of floral design. It can be, for example, flowers, petals, etc. In this version, the fabric is usually monochrome and dense in texture. Here, many layers are not reeled in, since the main emphasis is on the openwork pattern.


7. Gele in a fan form Read



There is a design for gele with the form resembling an opened fan. Here, at first, several layers of fabric are tightly wrapped too. Then the last layer is beautifully draped in the form of a fan. Draperies can be inclined to one side or the other. This gele is good to make from thin, but dense fabric to form the folds of the last layer correctly.



8. Flower-shaped Gele



A deign of this gele appeared because of the European fashion influence. It resembles a hat with a flower. This kind of gele will be obtained by wrapping the fabric one or more times around the head and forming one large flower. As a rule, it’s a rose. The flower is made either laterally or centered closer to the forehead. If you take a colorful fabric, with strips, for example, you can get a very unusual flower. A high density of fabric allows flower petals to keep the shape. This design is suitable for dresses of modern European style. Also, a flower-shaped gele should be avoided for women with a plump and broad face. In this version, such face seems even larger.



9. Gele with decor




It's also an option for a festive gele. In this case, a classic gele is tied with some zest addition. Ideally formed by the last layers of fabric, the circle can be pinned laterally with a brooch or small flower. This step divides the circle of gele into two sectors. You can tie a knot or form something like a bow there.



10. Funny Gele





If you are planning to attend a funny event that does not involve an excessive strictness of your image, and you don’t lack the sense of humor, you can funnily tie gele. Here they are a few designs.

Whatever style of gele tying you choose, just ensure that the gele’s colour compliments the colour of you clothes.

We have seen different kinds of constituent’s empowerment in Nigeria but
definitely not this type.

Business / (CAREER & APPOINTMENT) Before Going For That Job Interview by damilogogle(m): 5:19pm On Feb 06, 2018
It is quite unexpected for an actor to go on a stage without adequate
preparation. To attempt that is to invite opprobrium because the poor
performance will be a pointer to the poor preparation of the actor. In the
same vein, it will be counterproductive for a prospective employee to go for a
job interview without adequate preparation. Any job applicant that is desirous
of ending his sojourn in the labour market as soon as possible will take care
to take note of the following.

Clarify your career objectives

If you go out looking for what you cannot identify you may spend the rest of
your life looking for it. What kind of job do you want? What kind of industry do
you want to join? Answers to these will help greatly in focusing your attention
on what really matters. It is important to realise that you are not cut out for
all jobs, even if you are multi-talented or multi-skilled.

Don’t apply for a job just because there is a vacancy or you need a job. Decide
on what your career objectives are right from the beginning. Know that there
is more to a job than getting a place where you can be sure of a salary. There
is something known as job fulfillment. You won’t get it in every firm or
industry, and it is the key to your overall success on the job. So, before
stepping out for the job interview, answer the question, “Is this job in tandem
with my career objectives?” Your sincere answer to the question will determine
what you do next.

Familiarize yourself with the company

You would definitely stun your interviewers if you told them you didn’t know
anything about the company you wished to join. Even if they allowed you to go
through the rest of the interview, you could be sure you stand a high risk of
being overlooked for the job by the interviewers. It, therefore, means that
before you go for the interview you would need to find out all you can about
the company. Find out all you can about the culture of the company, its
values, its people and operations. Find out about the industry in which the
company operates. Find out everything about the peculiarity of the industry.

The interviewers will definitely be surprised to know that you know so much
about the company. This may be your winning edge, especially if others had
not taken time to do this.

Pay attention to little things

In scaling the hurdle of job interviews, everything matters. Pay attention to
your dressing. Look your best without looking gorgeous. Make sure you are
smartly dressed. Avoid colours that do not complement. Make sure your nails
are well trimmed. Do all you can do to remove or reduce bad breath if you
have. If you wear a beard, make sure it is well trimmed. If you don’t wear one,

ensure you are clean shaven.

Do not wear dark glasses, even if they are medicated. Avoid wearing heavy
perfumes, don’t suffocate the interviewers with your perfume. Remember this,
the interviewers are not only interested in your brain, they are also interested
in your body. So, if you are seen as uncouth, and will likely be a liability to
their image, the interviewers may reject you even if your resume is the most
intimidating they have ever seen.

Know your résumé thoroughly

Before you are invited for a job interview, the interviewers must have seen your
résumé. The interview actually is an exercise in determining whether your
reputation as presented in the résumé, matches your person. So, you are
expected to know your résumé thoroughly since it is a documentation of your
experience. Thus, any variation between your response at the interview and
your résumé will give you away as a liar, even if you are not. It will present
you as a person that lacks integrity. Since no company wants to employ
anyone it cannot vouch for, you can kiss the job good bye.

It is therefore of great importance that you update your knowledge of your
résumé before you go for the interview. It is also to guard against people
going away with a wrong impression about you.

Expect the unexpected

In job interview, the panel may spring a surprise by asking questions that are
not related to your area or even the company or industry it belongs to. The
essence is to assess your intelligence and response to situations. So don’t
look baffled or ruffled when a question that looks way off the mark is asked in
the course of the job interview. Answer the question as best as you can. Even
if you believe you don’t have the right answer to the question, don’t lose your
composure. Remember, if such questions come up, they are to gauge your
response to issues and who you are under pressure. So, make it known to the
interviewers that even if you are not on top of the situation you cannot be
pushed over. That posture may land you the job.

Business / (business Coach) How To Build Your Leadership Capacity by damilogogle(m): 5:10pm On Feb 06, 2018
When I was going through selection and training for a particular SEAL team,
one of the first things the instructors did was send the class a message about
leadership: they cut the majority of the officers and senior enlisted from
leadership positions and replaced them with junior members. The reason
behind this was to demonstrate that who you are is more important than what
you are.

What you are refers to your rank, position or title, which is different than what
you can do. What you can do is about your capacity to lead, such as making
decisions under duress, visualizing the “end game,” maintaining situational
awareness and communicating context. Who you are refers to your character
— humility, integrity, openness to new ideas, service to others.
Now, remember that this is the military where hierarchy, taking orders,
structure and process abound over creative thinking and problem-solving.
Right? At least that’s what people tend to think.
The truth is, not once during my 13 years in special operations did I ever hear
“do it, that’s an order.” Not once did we (SEALs) not ask the question, “Why
are we doing this mission?” We might not have liked every mission we
conducted, but we certainly understood why we were doing it because
knowing the complete picture enabled us to make on-the-ground decisions.
Context provides clarity and when you’re clear on what success looks like and
where the finishing line is, then you know what decisions you need to make to
get there.

Leadership isn’t a title and it’s not a position. It’s not tenure and it’s not
rank. Leadership is about capacity — being the type of person who’s able and
willing to learn, be courageous, tackle difficulty and question the status quo.

Here are three leadership capacities to focus on:

Courage

When you lead you take steps in a particular direction, and steps require
courage. One of the best examples of courageous leadership that comes to
mind is Domino’s Pizza. Around 2009 Domino’s had a problem: their pizza
was terrible. This is the same as showing up to a gunfight and your gun not
working. For Domino’s, the problem wasn’t just the taste of their pizza, but
also the brand. Ryan Berman, Chief Creative Officer of the i.d.e.a brand cites
Russell Weiner, President of Domino’s USA in his forthcoming book Return On
Courage, as saying, “We did not rank high on product scores. But believe it or
not, people thought our product tasted better when it was in somebody else’s
box…All every American wanted was for someone to just stand up and tell ‘em
the truth, to listen to their problem and to do the right thing.” So, Domino’s
made a courageous decision to turn itself around with their bold “Oh Yes We
Did” campaign, and by doing so, shared an important message: that they will
listen to their customers and fix any problems. Today, the company has
outperformed behemoths such as Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Google as its
stock has skyrocketed from nine dollars to over 180 today.

However, courage doesn’t exist without clarity.

Clarity

When you’re clear about what’s important to you and why, you don’t waste
time trying to search for answers. You know exactly what you need to do to
execute. With clarity, there’s no hesitation, no second-guessing, no wondering
if you’re making the right decision, no ambiguity over what’s expected of you.
You get work done because you’re clear on what success looks like. When
you’re clear, you’re bulletproof.
More than anything, clarity creates fulfillment and alignment — for the
individual, the team and the organization. When you’re unclear about your
values or what you want to do at work or in life, that’s when you feel
misaligned, imbalanced. Greater clarity leads to greater engagement, and when
more people are engaged, more work gets accomplished.

However, you only gain clarity through curiosity.

Curiosity

Leadership is a two-sided coin. Good leaders know when to talk and provide
direction but they also know when to listen, learn and lead with curiosity.
When you lead with curiosity you not only forge greater clarity but you also
gain insight into how others think, which informs your next move (or question)
as a leader. Simple questions such as, “What do you think?”, “How might
we…?”, “What do you believe is the best way to achieve…?” are powerful tools
you can use at any moment to learn and lead simultaneously.

You can lead “up,” you can lead “down,” you can lead yourself and you can
lead others. It doesn’t matter where you are, only what you do and why you
do it.

Romance / Ladies!!! Check Out 8 Proven Signs He Is Your Future Husband Or Just A Play Boy by damilogogle(m): 3:49pm On Feb 06, 2018
You have been dating this guy for quite some time, but are not sure if he is
really the man of your dreams?

We are pretty sure that a lot of our lovely ladies might have found this
familiar. Well girls, If you observe carefully, you will know that the difference
between the guy you are dating and your future husband lies in small things.
Here are the signs that will tell you if your man is really your future husband
or just a waste of time.

1. He listens to you

A man with the intentions of marrying you will be genuinely interested in you.
Hence, he will lend his ears to you whenever you speak.
This quality may be absent in someone who is not serious about you.

2. He is genuinely concerned about you

The one actually in love with you will worry about your safety, your health,
your career, your well-being, and even the smallest thing related to you. But, a
random guy will not even fake so much of interest in you.

3. He includes you in his future plans

You will notice him talking more about ‘us’ than ‘me’, if he is serious about
you.
He may even unconsciously slip a word or two about marriage, kids, and
getting old together.

4. He is ready to make sacrifices for you

Your future husband will be ready to make sacrifices and compromises in
order to keep you happy and also, to keep the relationship going.
Of course, NOT ALWAYS! But, whenever possible, he will do so because your
happiness matters a lot to him.

5. He calls you up without any reason

Well, of course there is a reason. He might be missing you, or is concerned
about you.
Or, probably he had a bad day, and just wants to listen to your voice!
Whatever the reason is, such calls are one of the signs that your relationship
with this man is a meaningful one.

6. He shows interest in your family

Not every guy will show interest in getting involved or even get acquainted
with your family in the early stages of dating. And, if you find one, maybe he is
just the ‘one’ for you.

7. He introduces you to his family and friends

The right man in your life will not only take interest in your family, but will
also be interested in introducing you to his family and friends.
On the other hand, someone who does not see any future with you will be
hesitant to take this step.

8. He is ready to wait for lovemaking

While a ‘not so serious’ guy might just be looking for some physical intimacy,
the one who truly loves you will wait as long as you want.
And, he will never even pressurise you for the same. Trust me this last point
well proven.
