7. Observe and Appreciate true friends


Most times we don't always appreciate those that pull strings for us as they deserve. We are too occupied with the now moment and we get carried away with fellows that we just have common interests in, and forget those who really make things work for us. We often leave them at the background, unappreciated most times. Put a stop to that this year. Know your true friends and appreciate them. They always remember to return the favour, making the bond stronger.

6. Learn a new language


Asides your mother tongue, try to add a new language to your skills. The education system in the country made it possible for most of our parents to speak more than one language, but that just crumbles somewhere in time.

Now we can't learn the 3 major languages in school outside the regional system(The universities even take up French and Arabic, with many ending up not using it to communicate)

Imagine being able to speak fluently both Ibo and Hausa/Fulani and you're a typical Yoruba man?!!


You can explore and go for Spanish, Zulu, Latin, Chinese also. Helps with exploration!

5. Keep Pictures

Throwbacks are one of the best ways to know you're progressing and at least, physically. The going digital age has almost made many to rarely keep pictures, and most times these devices are not reliable like that. Some get wiped, etc. so keep them at least for every location, moments you step in. Don't let the tradition die with our parents.

4. Reduce Screentime


This sounds like impossicant to many cos they are so glued to their screens that they can't imagine just dropping it for 24hrs and live life without the screen.

Many of us even have the habit of first going for our phones the seconds we wake without "even checking if we can still move our legs first"

Medically too, it's adverse effects on the eyes is not good and even your forehead, eyes bears the pain, etc.

Make a decision to live 24hrs without your phone first, break that mental bondage.

3. Read more Books

I have to say that the guys do alot of readings than the girls especially when it's gonna help solve one or two problems that hinders them. So yes this might be more for the ladies, but irrespective, everyone should improve on just reading to expand your knowledge depth.
Alot is hidden in real hard cover books and only 10-15percent of them get to surface all over social media.


Make this interesting and inspire yourself to read at least 5 books a month. And this is far away from any encouragement to read romantic novels.. No!!!!

2: Stop the emphasis on haters

Life is much more than watching what others are going to say about you. But having this deadly height of insecurity that makes you divert energy to haters, recognising them and mentioning them all over social media is just a waste of time. Why? You think the rantings free you up, but you get the wrong motivation moving forward,and then end up doing all trying to prove them wrong.

That isnt life! That's Mental Slavery! Personally i just don't even understand why you give them attention. I don't even act like i gat haters and my head is cool and life is not stressful with that thought. Hop on and see how it feels. Focus energy on better things.

Well, we are here!

Happy New Year to all Nairalanders all over.


This is a new year, and while we may not fancy the concept of new year resolutions like before, we can at least try improve on somethings within reach....



1. Take Up Savings more seriously


The idea is, its going to be quite hard, but towards the end of 2018, the situation in the country inspired many youths to save what many called "Lose change" in a wooden safe, or a piggybank. And the results have never been disappointing, but quite astonishing.

Many got as much as #35,000 to hundreds of thousands from this process. It looks meagre to many but its worth trying.

Well if you aren't disciplined enough, try to and watch how this changes you altogether to how you spend and differentiating between what you need and what you want...

Tje biggesst truth. The way some ignoramuses of the bible run to defend their MOgs, youd think they are fighting ww3 on that spot. but he is a mere mortal man, a vessel that can be replaced. The Power that gives thr power is what should be worshipped and not the one the power is inside him.


Thats why we have less Josh Mcdowells these days that can defend the scriptures from a sane and truthful way.

Lol. Mbappe benched by a nigerian in this current era? I wonder the kine eye JJ Okocha go use take look una wey una go just keep shut.


A World cup winner that has no issues with fitness, flair or goal production, to be benched by a Nigerian that is still chopping bench for his country. Pls fear God small joor.


Henry is yet to reach there.


This is no undermining of Henry, he is good to play in a very big club no doubt.

Happy New year to everyone here on this great thread. welcome to 2019. Let the punditry and analysis continue. Gracias.

He said some crap that made me just park him aside. Sensitive matters said without reasoning and caution shows he isnt ready atall.

joseph1013:
Do these boys understand that these sort of spendings, especially for someone whose career has not kicked off, is a liability?

People like Juan Mata are such excellent role model in financial management for footballers.

Haba Jo, $2000 can build this na. Compared to his wages at his club. Rem his own colleague at Man city(agewise) are building or buying house worth half a milla.

This is necessary.


Oshoala own nko?

Welcome back home.

What this rep is saying to the press, how did he become privy to such incident when he wasnt a witness. If there were two peeps that escaped, its the responsibilitie of sane security and criminal case officers to take two accounts and contrast.


oh this is Nigeria, the family would prefer to keep kwayet cos evil truly dey outside.


Then this insistence that no N500 was on him should have been taken as an exxageration to mean he had very lil cash. Im not stupid and i believe we all arent stupid.


A whole Marshall without cash on him?


Okay lets assume thats true.... Why do the police always think we nigerians are dumb than they are? why?


See the crappy excuse they use to always get away. Compromising Investigation. You means one that would not be concluded in 2yrs time? And not like you guys are searching and digging, youre just fanning and looping!!!

Is this one apology atall? just more pride and cockiness and senselessness!!
He cant write an apology in a formal way...

Nigerians know that when you put "ok" in front of an apology, you dont mean it.

Perhaps im the only one that feels that everyone in abuja thinks the rest of us are so so dumb to swallow such disgrace of information. it sends this stupid signal that most criminals are uneducated and we know that's a big fat lie.


kpuwe on the security team that did this quicker than Usain Bolt.


bigger kpuwe for thinking all naijans are dumber than barbies.

InSanety:
Have you guys seen the latest Mrs. Uzoho?
Imagine as she go fine when European weather Don touch her
Congratulate my man jare, e carry eye enter market

Congrats to him!!
Looking about the same age bracket.

Daninya11:
Ndidi oooo

Dont mind that OptaJoe. Well. Always don't hype Ndidi when he deserves it.

Khalifa, God bless you for that observation.


Spurs without Harry Kane scored 5 goals and then 11goals in 4days. Pls i can bet that my firstborn will be 5yrs old by the time Arsenal achieves that fit.

We shud forsake this passing tha ball and breakdwon defences. only 4 players eere respinsive for the 70% possession we had in the first half. what use it that useless crap? what use is it when you arent 3 goals up?

I always say it. Auba and Laca shouldnt start but should end the match together. That's the best to me. See i wont lie, Arsenal were fluid under wenger but we were an insult ti watch when defending. We need a Carzorla in this team. Torreira cant offer such. We cant even transition from defending to counterattack like before.



I noticed that 3 times, during the counter, Only Niles and Auba were with the ball going forward. By then 6 BHA players were back to defend. And Niles was clueless cos he had not one option to pass too. Whats that crap?

groundnutoil:
I was one of those who always defended uzoho among my friends that dude was 19 but I swear now I no even know wetin to say again but I'm dn sure me say uzoho no d 20 anything if I was nff president he must never be invited to super eagles again for lying
dude just lost my respect.

Lol, when nigerians just wan wake up sometimes that this age scam still dey even with pastor?

When i said he was in no way 19, i got backlashes, not even in a constructive way, but in tribal sentimentalism on here. Smh.


9yrs between he and his bride? See he is older than her or younger by at least 3yrs.


waiting for the crew that wana comman raise the probability of age is a number. It is a number until we are cheated at cadet level where west african rivals paraded daddies in the name of u17.... smh


Wakeup. Has nothing to do with tribal. Lol


Although you woke up late!!

folake4u:
I can't help it na .

You don old na .

old ke? Abeg o. black still dey my head and i never grow beards o. no start wetin you no fit finish o. ehen.

1 of the 4 reasons why the church is a laughing stock to many nowadays.


Somethings just need not be associated with the church, not cos they are bad or evil, but the controversy it births.




Meanwhile, under normal circumstances, i can now conclude that Sammie Okposo is not a bible student atalll. And there are many of him out there.


infact i almost concluded that all naija gospel artistes arent students of the bible. Esp those that derive lyrics from it.


NB made a blunder about a verse in Proverbs and loving fans sha corrected him. Thats the christian way.


But what has bee proven have already.


David danced with underpants at a coronation ceremony from Church to Palace. Thats like 10million seeing him in that outfit. And that crowd is *100 bigger than the crowd at Experience 13.



Smh.

00.1?

Abeg baba knows maths atall?

oya where are the it doesnt mata crew.

Thats how one apc guy on an nta morning interview said 100/100 =0

the interviewer corrected and said its =1

smh.

The whites generally, have never and will.never take the issue of racism at black serious. They rub the surface with some useless Uefa rules in football and that seems to eork but it doesnt. Imagine such rubbish officiating from a ref. Thats why i was happy the way Didier Drogba acted at that final. He was right. Not sentimental here cos its the whites that are.


See what was done to Aubamayang some weeks back. A banana thrown at him.


All cos he is African.


Lacazetter is black, yet rarely gets such which means that this people hate Africans. Its a pity now, cos Africans would take the golden boot in the EPL this season.


Nonsense!!!


Ancelotti should just forget cos we know Italians didnt bend when it was Balotelli's time, so why will they bend now!!


Uefa should just enforce stricter rules. Those banners arent enough. Ban fans, but money naim dem dey look for.

This guy get sense. The US militaru has been compromised. They dont openly serve the interest of the Potus. so he is withdrawing them. watch as this withdrawal exposes lots of stuff that showes that personal interests and not acts of patriotism was at play.


This war wasnt needed. But it happened and now we are here....

If Glo wants to convince us, they should do just 70% of what MTN offers and 100million Customers would mske them conquer west africa. Mtn are like that king that have many rivals that can give half of what they give and are so comfy and proud still.

This one doesnt know about that year that serious viliry and hate were passed on here and the mods were all hands on deck to just control it. They should.



I prefer asides the rules breaking that some nuisance should be on a banned forever list to be voted for or against by nairalanders. That way those that are a major nuisance get the axe. But the creating new moniket stuff persists alongside the alter ego.

Imagine if all the roads in nigeria were constructed or nearly all were in good state and usable. What will the polithiefcians use to campaign again? Perhaps foreign trips?



Nigeria can be better. Kenya mustn't overtake us.

I love you and your family Dakore, Buh na only december we fit dey see you only ni?
