 Crime › My Encounter With SARS Changed My Mentality - Fattkay by fattbabakay(op): 1:43am On Mar 02, 2018*. Modified: 2:15am On Mar 02, 2018 |
So, I’m just feeling jobless today and I feel like summarizing the experience I had with Sars some days back. It’s nothing serious, I just feel like writing. Sit back, it’s going to be a very long and boring (ironical) epistle. Disclaimer: This is a true-life experience, no fiction. Ignore the comic relief that might make it seem unserious, it’s just my style of writing. Nevertheless, I had my SARS experience, want to know how it went down? Grab popcorn. Read along. It was a sunny afternoon filled with loads of unreasonable news, monkey swallowed money yen yen yen, a bunch of weed smokers feeding the nation with fantasies. I was just thumbing through the ridiculous news when she said: “Where can we go today?” (You don’t need to worry about “she”). As Lagos is a city with many interesting places, a couple of ideas flashed through my head, well, Lekki Conservation Centre doesn't sound like a bad place to have a whale of time, I concluded. I ran to the bathroom. Fast forward to few minutes after, I was Dressed to a tea, dressed for a tea or dressed to go to a tea, whichever! I fired up my uber app and the request went through. The app showed that the driver was 2 minutes away. I stayed outside for several minutes for the uber driver who claimed he was outside but was on the third street, damn! He was stuffed in the estate. You know how frustrating it is when you order an Uber driver that doesn’t know how to easily navigate through google maps. He got lost like 3 times before God finally tapped him like “son, stop wandering, that is the way”. I bounced into the Toyota Camry with my cold Smirnoff, it was such a nice car with probably a newly refilled air condition cos the car was too damn cold. Can I start the trip now? The UBER driver asked. Yes sure, I replied. I wonder why they ask that question anyway, sey you won’t start trip before? https://eduregard.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/cabda02c-abc5-4613-8707-7d124b62d493.jpeg It was barely 5 minutes into the trip, just along Lekki-Epe Expressway, right after Jakande, that ShopRite side. A bus careened passed my car, like police pursuing thief, loaded with 7 well-dressed men, all waving at my driver to pull over. Poor driver, he gave in too fast, not even some fast and furious moves to make it adventurous  . He packed.SARS? How did you know? The writing is on the wall! My sixth sense yelled at me. But they said they don’t visit this part of Lagos? But why would they stop mine out of 100s of cars flying along this path? What an unlucky day! https://eduregard.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Screenshot-at-Mar-02-01-32-20.png I was literally caught between Scylla and Charybdis as loads of thoughts flashed through my mind. A knock on the window brought me back to reality. Who are you? A question directed at my driver. He innocently replied, “I am an uber driver”. The SARS officer moved away from him with that “I have no business with you” look and then turned to me. “Young man, kindly step down”, he said. Prior to this day, I’ve heard a lot about SARS, all of which were bad testimonies, but I never had an encounter with them. Even though there’s no skeleton in my cupboard, but the fear of the testimonies those Twitter users summarised wouldn’t just make me think straight. And the way Gebu, my talkative friend, summarised the slap they gave him when they caught him, I wouldn’t imagine it. One Twitter user even said they bundled him like rice into their car without asking any question. Another one said they gave him 12 slaps on his left cheek and 5 on his right cheek, I was now wondering, who counted the slaps? https://tns.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/Odunlade-Adekola.jpg They should sha not slap me on my right cheek, cos the big pimple there is just getting ripe and I don’t want any SARS slap to burst pimple for me. I thought to myself. I stepped out of the car, with anxiety, coupled with my dear Smirnoff as I sipped some drops just to feign confidence. You know if you are sipping Smirnoff and talking to them it’ll give them that “e sure for me” and “I don’t care” impression. He led me towards their bus, I saw 5 men standing in front, waiting for me. At this point, my eyes were bigger than my mouth! Why so many of you bruh? Just one man is enough to handle me, why so much stress, I’m harmless! I cried inside as I played MI - Action Film in my head. I could feel my spirit consoling me already like “bro, we gonn be alright, whatever happens, I’m gonn be with you, stay strong”. https://eduregard.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/21-problems-only-sweaty-people-will-understand-2-25895-1402928363-13_dblbig.jpg I adjusted my saggy trouser as I charged forward. SARS OFFICER: Hello gentleman, I am officer ********* (He showed his ID), how are you doing? Shocked! The SARS I heard about don’t greet politely like this, I was thinking they greet with slaps and aggression. I wondered. ME: I’m good thanks. SARS OFFICER: Sorry for stopping you. You understand what is going on in the country now. Crimes, cultism and all. And we are trying our best to put an end to that. Can you spare few minutes of your time, please? ME: Yea sure, I understand. *Sips Smirnoff to catch my breath* SARS OFFICER: We saw you making a call while in the car, can you tell us who you were calling? *At this point I got to know it was the sight of iPhone X through the window while I was making call that made them follow my car, nice* https://i.ytimg.com/vi/v3qYBva8zaQ/hqdefault.jpg ME: Yea right. I saw a missed call on my device and I tried dialling the number but I later realized the number was that of the uber driver. SARS OFFICER: How do I believe that? Can I have your phone to confirm? *Hmmm. Nice gimmick to get hold of my phone and search through. That’s smart and creative. I’m impressed. Unlike the ones that use slaps and John Cena smackdown to collect phone from boys.* ME: Sure. Have it. *I handed my phone over with humility. Probably just trying to avoid that pimple-bursting slap* He gave the phone to another officer deep inside the bus to do his work (search thoroughly) and dragged me away from the bus for some time-wasting questions. So at this point, he started asking me loads of friendly questions while giving the other officer enough time to take my phone to the moon for an x-ray scan and come back. The conversation goes thus: SARS OFFICER: Where are you from? [b]ME: **** State SARS OFFICER: Where in **** state? ME: I don’t know. I’ve never been there. Cos there’s actually nothing to do there. SARS OFFICER: What does your dad do? What does your mum do? ME: Dad is a *****. Mum is a ******. SARS OFFICER: What do you do? As an internet marketer, this is a very trickish question as things we do are somewhat difficult to explain to a layman. How do you explain that you work on Fiverr, you are into freelancing, you work for white people, but you have no office. Or tell them you’re into importation so they can ask if you pay custom duties. Or tell them you trade bitcoins so the argument of whether bitcoin is legal in Nigeria or not can begin. It might actually lead to no harm but would rather prolong the matter and lead to more questions. So in order to beat this, I decided to avoid my major work (freelancing) and gave them an easier option that was easier to comprehend. ME: I am a blogger. And a web developer. SARS OFFICER: Web developer? Can you design phishing sites? And bank clones? *Lol. Trying to put words in my mouth.* ME: I’ve not done such before. Designing those kind of sites is morally questionable. But there’s no kind of site that I can’t design, technically speaking. SARS OFFICER: Do you have any ID? To justify your work? ME: I only have a school ID. I’m a student. But I don’t even have the ID here with me. But I can show you a scanned copy of my company registration document. SARS OFFICER: Anyone can have a scanned copy. How do you want to prove what you do for a living? ME: I own a couple of websites, like 4. I can give you the links so you can check, you’ll see my name right in the footer. SARS OFFICER: How do we believe the name is yours since you have no ID? ME: Google the name, you’ll see my face and phone number, call the number, my phone will ring. SARS OFFICER: Okay let’s check! *He gave me his phone and he discovered I wasn’t reluctant to google it, so he told me to bother not* He looked at the other officer on the bus and it was obvious he was still busy with my phone. My heart cut a bit as I took few seconds to think of “what might be incriminating on my device”, I couldn’t think of any. Plus, if he had found anything he would have called my attention. To buy the phone searcher more time, he continued.. SARS OFFICER: So, have you been to Malaysia before? ME: No. At all. SARS OFFICER: But the chain on your neck is Malaysian gold. ME: *Which Malaysian chain, I thought* Noo. Chain that in my hometown from local aboki. SARS OFFICER: How many carat is it? ME: I have no idea. *I don’t fight kungfu* SARS OFFICER: Where do you stay? ME: Lekki here. Just at the next junction. SARS OFFICER: Do you know ********** ? He mentioned a name. I’ve heard the name a couple of times. It’s the name of a popular G boy in Lekki. ME: No. Where is that? SARS OFFICER: Never mind. Probably getting tired at this point, he went back to the bus to ask the other officer what’s the update. He told me to enter the bus and sit in a strategic position that makes me face 3 of them. Then he started his own interview. SARS OFFICER: What are international numbers doing on your WhatsApp? *Sebi it was call log you wanted to confirm, how did it get to WhatsApp again. I thought. So I finally have to explain the freelancing I didn’t want to explain*. ME: Oh okay. I work as a digital marketer online on freelance sites like Fiverr (Looking lost, they probably didn’t know the meaning. I knew it would be hard to explain). So I write contents and develop websites for white people. If you go through our WhatsApp conversation you’ll notice it was all about strange web technology terms and SEO content delivery, nothing more. He didn’t argue. Definitely went through the chats himself. SARS OFFICER: I saw a complaint from a white man on your Facebook, saying he paid for a book and you scammed him. ME: No, it was just a misunderstanding. He paid for one of my books, but the payment was via PayPal. Due to PayPal issues, payment was delayed and didn’t get to me for a couple of days for whatever reason, but he had no chill. I didn’t reply him on Facebook cos he sent the same message to my mail and we settled it there. SARS OFFICER: What book do you sell? ME: I have written like 4 books on various subjects that I sell. SARS OFFICER: What are you doing with roughly 15 emails on one device? ME: I create them for different purposes. No blackhat intention. You can just go through the inbox. Okay. They looked at each others’ eyes, nothing more. For my mind, I was like “can i leave now? Chop buster”... The officer at the entrance of the bus signalled a “come out of the bus” as the driver fires up the engine. “Thanks for your time. Don’t join them o”... The officer said as I bounced out of the bus with relief, I cut the mustard! https://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/vulture/2015/10/20/drake-dance/drake-13.w529.h352.gif It was at this point I realized I’ve been unconsciously holdiSmirnoffar smirnoff since. Ooops, the right time to take a deep gulp. I threw away the can. It was a sugar-sweet experience that changed my mentality. Leaving aside the fact that they wasted 20 minutes of my life. I’m having the feeling that I came across the lenient SARS, not the ones I’ve been hearing of. Probably because it was on the island and they know they have to be careful on there as most people on the island are elites. Or is it safe to say if you don’t have any skeleton in your cupboard, you are always free? Or I was just lucky to have escaped at least one slap? What do you think?

| Crime › 6 Reasons Why People Engage In Yahoo Yahoo Internet Fraud - FATTKAY by fattbabakay(op): 3:00am On Feb 19, 2018 |
Well known to all even before I mention, this issue of yahoo boys (internet fraudsters) is really pathetic. And the funny thing which is also a bitter truth is that they spend valuable time on this illegal exhibition that they would rather have spent on a more legit and profitable make money online endeavour. Needless to say that they’ve got several tactics they utilize, trust me, they never run out of ideas! If you are a frequent internet user, you would have at some points in your online surf come across some posts that look too good to be true and at the same time too tempting to be ignored. Yahoo Yahoo Internet Fraud has gone far way more than just dating sites scams, dudes are littered everywhere on the world wide web looking for unsuspecting preys. But is it really worth it? Damn right, you might say YES! But taking a good look at it from a right mindset, I ask you again, is it really worth it? Let’s take a swift look at some 6 Reasons Why People Engage In Yahoo Yahoo Internet Fraud. 1. OPPRESSION: When a typical young man sees his secondary school best friend stunting with designer shoes on Instagram, For real? I was better than this dude! That’s the thought that flies through his mind. Or when a rich dude comes around and manoeuvres off with his girlfriend, then that feeling of “I must be rich” comes up his head. And if you want to be rich by force, is Yahoo Yahoo Internet Fraud the best idea? Let’s leave the answer for a later date. 2. GREED: The Yoruba people will call it “Ojukokoro“. It is that intense and selfish desire for something, in this case, wealth. When you simply want the whole world to yourself without proportional effort put in. Then to them, the fastest way to this is Internet Fraud, which even in reality is not as easy as it seems. 3. DEPRESSION: This is a feeling of severe despondency and dejection often caused by unfortunate circumstances that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act. It might be subsequent to oppression, which got a young man thinking deeply about his life, then resort to Yahoo Yahoo Internet Fraud. 4. IMPATIENCE: This is the tendency to be restless. No foresight. The crave for rocket science and the wanting of magical effects in all situations. Humans should understand that if life was so easy and if goodies came in a rush, there would be no need to do the things we do on daily basis. We need to take it as it comes, doing the right thing the right way, it might take time, but the right time will always be the right time. The inability to calm down and wait for results subsequent to positive actions often leads to wrong reactions, Yahoo Yahoo Internet Fraud, in this case. 5. ACUTE POVERTY: This is a very serious shortage of purchasing power or of access to resources that provide the basic necessities of life, such as food and shelter. In cases like this, coupled with some other factors, some are left with no other alternative but to go illegal, pathetic! 6. UNEMPLOYMENT / BAD ECONOMY: I was thumbing through Nairaland the other day and I saw a thread that read “I want to become a G boy, I have been unemployed for 5 years after graduating, I need someone to teach me“, I couldn’t find my way to the thread again, would have dropped a link or probably screenshot. It’s no news that the state of the nation in terms of job opportunities is bad, but that still doesn’t act as enough justification to do the G, as popularly called. All said, yet none of this is enough justification to engage in an internet scam. There are loads of legit Internet Businesses. Let’s spend our days building a better nation, not spoiling our already crumbling reputation. This is my piece, it's yours for the taking. Don’t forget to share with friends.

Making money online in Nigeria, or rather creating a work for yourself from the comfort of your home is now a necessity. The employment system we rely on is in shambles, young men now have to create a living for themselves. This, even though can be done offline but the situation of the nation doesn’t even favor offline businesses so well, this is why individuals have to seek means to make money online in Nigeria. Many Nigerian companies and individuals have focused on hiring experts who are capable of working remotely without compromising quality and fast delivery. On the off chance that you currently unemployed or under-employed, sit back and check out the following 5 Online Jobs You Can Do To Make Money Online In Nigeria, trust me, you might just get a better life after reading this. 1. Make Money Online In Nigeria As A Freelance Writer This is the just one of the most common Online works to do in Nigeria. A freelance writer is a writer who works on a self-employed basis, no dedicated attachment to any company or individual. They can work for just one company/individual or, more often, they write for several different publications at a time. They are generally hired by any company or individual that needs content development services. Obviously, writing contents does not really require a physical presence or an office space. What a freelance writer needs is a good portfolio of previously written contents; which must at least be compelling enough to convince clients that you are good. In addition, a freelance writer must be dynamic in writing and must be able to provide explanations and render content in a user-friendly and understandable manner. As expected, freelance writers must have a good understanding of web concepts and possess familiarity with search engine optimizations. Often, freelance writers can earn within the range of 300,000 to a million monthly. A 500-word article usually is equivalent to $5 on Fiverr, while a 1000-word article costs $10. In most cases, rates are variable. I know of guys who charge $100 per article, depending on the level of expertise, the weight of the topic and the requirements. One of the guys that make millions doing freelance writing in Nigeria is Bamidele Onibalusi of WritersInCharge.com. 2. Make Money Online As A Website Designer/Developer A web designer is someone who is both creative and technically inclined and uses both these attributes to build or redesign websites. The web designer has the ability to understand what is needed to make a website functional and easy to use, but at the same time make it aesthetically appealing to the user. Making money online as a website designer calls for you to be able to create great websites without no real supervision. Meanwhile, this is a job that requires the technical skills of computer programming. If you have a good portfolio of previously done web design or development works, you will make a hit. Also, the more you do, the more clients you will get based on recommendations. Instead of waiting for clients to contact you, you can take your skills to them by sending proposals or go on freelancing websites and display your capability for prospective clients to contact you. You can charge exorbitant amounts to create websites for clients, just make sure you are sure of the great delivery. 3. Make Money Online As A Social Media Analyst/Manager I’ve got works relating to this a couple of times so I can confidently say that social media analysts and social media marketers are hot cakes in the Make Money Online market. As a social media analyst or manager, you will be leathered with the obligation of creating and maintaining a company or individual’s presence on social media outlets like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, to mention the most common. You will be charged with creating and posting engaging contents to generate new and keep existing customers for the company or individual. Based on personal experience, you can charge between N40,000 to N200,000 on monthly basis working from home as a social media analyst or manager; Most times, price range depending on what company or individual you are working for, your expertise and what is expected of you in terms of delivery. 4. Make Money Online In Nigeria As A Blogger Let’s leave aside the frequently asked question – Can Blogging Make You Rich? By now, you should know it can! This is actually a no-brainer as it is a popular hustle among Nigerians who make money online. In fact, anyone who makes money online in Nigeria would have more often than not, been a blogger in the past, if not present. Set up a blog, you might want to follow my updates as I will be revealing how to create a killer blog later in the future. But you need to understand that blogging is demanding and nothing close to rocket science, I mean, you won’t get great results in a rush. It requires extreme patience. But trust me, blogging is definitely one of the numerous online hustles you can engage in to make money online in Nigeria. 5. Make Money Online As A Graphics Designer A graphic designer is a professional in the graphic design and graphic arts industry who assembles together images, typography, or motion graphics to create a piece of design. Graphics design jobs are hot in demand everywhere online. If you are a skilled graphics designer, maybe you are good with designing logos, animations e.t.c, you can work from home and rake in close to $100 per day. Also, a vast portfolio of great designs will earn you more jobs. To the last Bullet, making money online does not necessarily require you being a computer literate before you can get started. A couple of basic knowledge of computer operation and internet navigation is enough to get going. All in all, listed above are some great work-from-home jobs that have proven profitable in recent times.

| Nairaland General › 10 Things You Must Really Do Before Going Into 2018 - Fattkay by fattbabakay(op): 10:44pm On Dec 28, 2017*. Modified: 1:26am On Dec 29, 2017 |
As we all seem to be endlessly searching for ways to make the best out of the coming year, several opinions have been raised. Despite this, there are definitely some things that need to be emphasized. These drawbacks (somewhat) are ubiquitous in their ability to deter your success in 2018. But don’t fret because if you really seek success in this coming year, and you fear some of your actions are blocking your desire for a better year, you have the power and control to overcome them. Listed below are some very small things you MUST leave behind in 2017. 1. Stop Using “Am” instead of “I’m”! This annoying grammatical practice ran rampant throughout 2017. Like? This difference is very simple but our people decided to have a bad case of the simples. Although some of us do not know we are making this mistake, there are still some people that know about this mistake but just decide to dig in their heels. When I wanted to hire content writers for someone this year, I posted the job offer and told those who applied to write a short article about themselves. My eyes were on stalks with the number of wrong “am” usages I saw, like “Am a content writer with 7years of experience”. Those entries were just silently disregarded. You never can tell if that’s why they never called you back after those job interviews. This applies to “Have and I’ve, its and it’s” and other little grammatical misappropriations as well. I know English language is hard for everybody, but please learn it so as to avoid this mistake in 2018. Check this article for the difference between Am and I’m. 2. Cut Out Dense Friendships! There are some friendships that aren’t helping you. Look around you and thumb through your friends, then ask yourself, do your friends have ambitions? Do they have drive? Do they have the same mentality as you? If all you do is just laugh, drink, play and never really get into any serious career discussions, they are dense friends. You can’t be eating unhealthy foods and expecting to feel good. Stop hanging out with negative, draining people and expecting to feel positive and fulfilled. Life is too short to spend time with people who suck the happiness out of you. Analyse your friends in 2018, keep close to the meaningful ones only. 3. Stop Wasting Your Time On Whatsapp! We waste too much time on Whatsapp (And Social Media). Damn. It’s as if Whatsapp created new employment opportunities for us when they implemented the updates feature. We now stay glued all day waiting for who’s next to upload status to keep us entertained. Quite right, whatsapp is a good way to keep in touch and stay out of boredom. But there are some conversations that are just mere time wasting. If she’s replying you with one words “k, nice, alright, m fine”, why not just block her life from your whatsapp and reduce your worries by one? Stop sitting around your house scrolling on your phone and expecting to be productive and accomplished. Reduce the time you spend on whatsapp. You can spend the same amount of time learning things that’ll help your life. If you are the type that spends all day on Whatsapp, stop it in 2018! It’s bad! 4. If You Are Self-Employed, Stop Doing Free Jobs! Stop being fooled into doing free work based on promises it will pay off for you in the end. More often than not, it doesn’t! Don’t get lured into something based on the hook that your work could “turn into something big.” There’s a good chance you’ll end up donating a lot of your time and energy without getting anything in return. This is a 5-unit time wasting course. Whoever needs your service should be ready to pay for it. Although whatever amount you charge depends on you, be it cheap or expensive. But my friend, value your time and effort. There are exceptions to this, you can decide to do a free work if; 1. You are just learning and it’ll help you learn faster 2. You’ll gain real-life experience and an impressive addition to your resume If you don’t value your time, other people won’t either. So it’s important to know your worth. And if you’re going to do some work for free, be intentional about it. Make sure it’s something that makes sense for your business. Stop doing free jobs for people in 2018! I’m sure you love expensive cars and Island houses as well, free jobs won’t help you achieve those. 5. Stop Making Women Your Priority! We waste too much time chasing random ladies up and down. Quite right, women are the best. According to Aristotle, “If women didn’t exist, all the money in the world would have no meaning”. But there’s always a moderate way of taking actions. The idea of chasing women is not even bad, it’s the time-wasting endeavor of beating around no particular circle and just wasting precious time. Consider the analogy of a moth and a flame. Many men out there act like the moth — they are attracted to the flame, often erratically bouncing around and never getting too close for fear of getting burned, thereby wasting time. Whichever you want, either sex or date, be very fast in making your intentions known, if yes, you won, if no, you save yourself some time to do something productive with your life. Being realistic, if many men invest the time they use in chasing ladies in hustling for a better life, we would have more millionaires by now. Let 2018 be different, don’t waste too much time chasing ladies, some of them will waste your dear time! 6. Get Crypto-Conscious! With all the rage of cryptocurrencies, chances are slim that you have no idea of what it is. At least, you know bitcoins? Nigeria recently started catching the wave, and 2018 will give birth to more crypto millionaires. Cryptocurrency is one of the fastest ways to make good money without really doing any stressful labour apart from brilliant researches. If you have no idea of Cryptocurrency, I advise you go on google and learn this game. If you have any free money that you are not spending, cryptocurrencies might be a good bet. However, I should warn you. If you are considering investing in cryptocurrencies, it may be best to treat your “investment” in the same way you would treat any other highly speculative venture. In other words, recognize that you run the risk of losing part of your investment, if you are not careful. Cryptocurrencies will make people smile in 2018, well maybe otherwise. But if you play your game with caution and patience, you might have a better year. 7. Stop Complaining! Every man with his problem(s), but who cares? There may not be a more destructive (and annoying) habit than chronic complaining. It’s time for us to wake up and stop murmuring once and for all. When living out our daily lives, especially in a country like Nigeria and the influence of social media (oppression), it’s often easy to look around and blame some factors for our problems. While it’s true that there are things in the outside world we can’t control, the biggest difference between two people is simply their reaction towards it. Stop lamenting up and down, nobody really cares about your complaints. But if you really need to complain, do it to someone that will provide a solution to your problem. But often times, only YOU can help YOU. Get into proper actions in 2018. 8. Make Sure There Is Something You Are Doing Right! Either you are doing well academically, learning a skill, developing your talent, making money (anyhow), or doing well at your workplace. There must be something you are doing right and good at. There must be something you can be applauded for. Otherwise, you are just a regular man. If your academics is leading nowhere, start learning a skill, or start a proper hustle,. If you are not passing well in school, you are not good at any skill, no talent, no real hustle, no relationship (not even with God), then what are you doing with your life? Make 2018 better, there must be something you can point to as your strong point. 9. Stop Waiting For Anyone To Help You! You are alone, don’t allow your entire life purpose drive away while waiting for someone. Stop waiting for someone to come and make you happy. What if your distant uncle promised you a job, he has probably repeated that cliche saying a million times before, you’ve ruminated on it and you were like “damn I have no worries”. And it wasn’t until that evening did it really actually hit you that he was dead (Forbidden by God). Or someone promised to teach you a skill that he makes money from. What if he just teaches you the scratch and never goes into details, knowing fully well that you’re never going to make a dime out of that surface knowledge. There are some people that are worth waiting for, but there’s no harm in having supernumerary decisIons, also known as plan B. Don’t just sit down throughout 2018 waiting for favour from an entity. People disappoint and at times it’s beyond their control. Always remember that nobody loves you more than you. And only you can help yourself better. Don’t sit and wait all 2018 for anyone, go and do your thing your way. 10. Stay Closer To God! Unfortunately, many people seem to be on a spiritual roller coaster in their relationship with God. But God doesn’t want our relationship with Him to be like this, and He has provided us with everything we need to grow closer to Him every day. You really do not have to be a daddy G.O to be close to God, just put God first – and keep him there. Pray for a great year (2018), as you might not know, prayers work. There you have them. He who talks and chill lives to talk another day. On this note, I withdraw my pen. WRITTEN BY: Faturoti Kayode, a content writer and internet marketer in whole.
