The only issue here is the emboldened. It is a date not APC meeting so no break any bone, literally or figuratively.

Taking off your wig will make you more interesting and if you like stout then why not?

Making a really good first impression is not great for both the person making the impression and the one being impressed. If you do really well the first time, they'll expect an even better one next time, and if it keeps going like that. It can get tiring, but you can't stop because you've reached a point where you can't let them down. It's like putting yourself in a cage.

The person who is impressed also gets stuck. If the person making the impression manages to break free from their fake image and shows who they really are, the person who was impressed remains stuck, hoping things will go back to how they were.

A first impression should just be interesting enough to not be boring, that's it. Don't set expectations too high.

This makes a bunch of sense.

I don't understand this, please can someone help me break this down further? If a transaction is made, say a transfer from a US fintech app to Nigeria, how can its naira equivalent surface in a Nigerian account while 90% of it doesn't get here? The maths isn't mathing at all.

Good morning nairaland family, please I have a serious issue which I need your advice.
I met my fiancee 1st March 2022 and everything clicked, within few weeks, we are like people who have been together for years because we share many things in common, we are birthday mates, we like the same food, we are practically like twins. I work as a Key account manager in charge of my region in one of the leading multinational company here in Nigeria, why she works as an RN(registered nurse) in one of the top private hospital in the state I base too. I will be 33yrs by September while she will be 25years the same date and month. We are supposed to get married by May this year because am ready and she is ready too, but the parents have been frustrating me, one that am not from there state, we passed through that phase and fixed our traditional wedding next month, the mum and her people now came up with another issue that she must travel abroad before getting married, even when I have tried convincing them that I can't prevent there daughter from traveling even after marriage because I have been nursing same ambition too.

When I met my fiancee, she has been doing bad in her ihealth exams not until I came into her life. I have purchased the form three times in a space of 6 months plus her form for CBT and I do practically everything for my woman. Since we met, she doesn't touch her salary, she doesn't stress herself much about house duties, both washing, cooking and other things because as a bachelor, those are the things I enjoyed doing. I love her so much and she love me too, but am totally confused on what to do as the parents have said point blank that she can only get married when she travels to UK.

She had a serious fight with the parents last night and the mum even called me and told me that if I can't abide by there rules, I should forget about there daughter. Am the only son and my parents are not aware of the situation.

I don't know there problem because as a young man, I leave in a comfortable bungalow, drives good car outside my official car and equally employed one of her siblings on a temporary project am running for my office, which they both earn 60k monthly.

Please I need advise on how to go about this as I have two options in my mind. Should I move on and forget all the money I have spent so far or should I stand by my fiancee who loves me so much and finish the fight?

Correct super story!

If not, then it's just surprising to me how dumb people get to be successful. This life no balance sha.
