olabrinks: 1. Maintain your weight whilst your young. Not watching your weight will give you series of problem later on in life. Exercise and eat properly.
2. Dont be with someone who’s family do not like you. It is an everlasting battle that you will eventually lose.
3. You will not gain respect trying to please everyone. Stand up for yourself and always speak your mind.
4. Only share things when you are established. People are envious and will try to destroy your plans if you share too quickly.
5. Listen more than you talk.
6. Social skills are paramount for getting further in life. You must learn how to make solid connections.
7. Elders do not know it best
8. Confidence is more valuable than looks
9. Your family doesn’t always want the best for you
10. No one will values you until you hit it big.
11. Be careful with alcohol. It is addictive and very accessible, probably the worst drug out there.
These are just some of mine, feel free to contribute some of yours.
Try as much as possible to mind your business. Avoid verbal and physical fights like a plague. Never look down on people. Have time for God.
StagethemTVee: Uche Elendu has responded to trolls who attacked her dad after she shared a picture of him on Father's day. In her words; ' the money her Daddy gave me to start a business, most of you will have to sleep with 34 men to get half of it'. Makes one wonder why her choice example to make money is sleeping with men.
Below is the message she shared before the trolls descended on her timeline.

Adunny07: Please I just really need someone to talk to about this and I will like your candid advise..
So since my older sister got married I always come to her house and spend few weeks or months and go back. Al·through my university days, whenever school is not in session I always come down here to spend time with her and her husband.
Truth be told the husband is a very nice man and has helped me always financially, anytime I come here once my sister welcomes me the first day like this, from the second day she leaves all her house chores for me, I mean everything and she just relaxes. At times I get really tired and don't even feel like doing those chores but because most times when I come visiting she is heavy ( pregnant) so most times I just help her...
Thing is my sister doesn't appreciate all my effort, most times she complains self its the hubby that tells her that I am hardworking and at least she should give me credit for all I do.
Now the reason why am writing this is because am done with service (NYSC) and as it is its like I have to stay in her house because the state where she stays has more job opportunities compared to where our parents live... She stays in Abuja...I have been down with malaria for few days now and I have been on treatment, just because I can't do certain house chores because am not too strong my sis started complaining saying I can't be living in her house and be waking up whenever i like... Mind you I was always the first that wakes up when I wasn't sick, in fact I will wash the dishes, sweep, mop daily, cook food, bath her children and all those things.
The only thing she does is to bath her youngest baby, but now because for these few days she has been doing those work I do daily she is already saying she can't tolerate me sleeping and not waking up on time.
My question is this, does she have the right to be so angry at me because she is doing her house chores? I feel its her house and so she doing her house chores herself shouldn't be a problem since am not too strong to help her do it. She herself just sweep and doesn't mop, but she expects me to sweep and mop everyday.
Should i just go back to my parents house and get a job there? Me renting my own house is not an option because am a lady and am just 22...
There goes the real Nigerian lazy youth, let him come and serve his jail time here in kirikiri. For those who are looking upto people using them as contact of prayers , be careful .
Dainy1: What is the actual time? Immediately you met? Weeks, months after you met? Before you establish a relationship with him/her? When is the appropriate time that he/she will not get hurt nor walk away especially if they both met and love immediately?
To avoid prejudice, it's better you know the level of jis or her maturity because a child after wedlock can only be handle by mature minded person. It's not the end of the world, someone out there still appreciates persons like you, infact it means you are tested ok and better than those who have aborted but still claiming saints.
mrfranky: Please Mods help push this to front page i need more advise please...
Have been caught up in a difficult situation. I have been dating this my lovely girlfriend for more than a year now. She is beautiful, humble, kind and a good girl. She is from a good family too. The parents are not too rich just average and doing very well. They are 2 girls and 3 boys and the elder sis is more of a slay queen i.e so beautiful and refuses to marry so the mother is hoping on this my girl to settle down, always encouraging her to settle down.
Now I am 29 years and I really love this girl and she loves me more than i actually love her, always ready to do my biding. She is just 22 and I wish to marry her someday but my finances are low. I have met the father and he said he doesn't need anything from me only things for the kinsmen or whatever but my parents are the opposite. Infact my dad won't even entertain my thought of getting married now because despite am staying alone, i still get small stipends from him monthly so he knows am not financially independent.
To cut the long story short.. My girl is pregnant again after several abortions in the past and she is refusing to take pills. She wants to keep this one and is urging me to come pay her bride price so we can move in together. This was not my dream way of getting married. I don't have a problem with her keeping the child but I just cannot marry now with my monthly salary of 40k which am struggling to feed and pay bills.
Please I need advice. Pls no insult I knw the abortion act is wrong n never intended for her to take in again but it keeps happening...
Help me please i dont want to lose this lovely princess because she promise to end the relationship if she has to take another pill.
Go and pay the bride price , do the needful and go to court. Fear not, get closer to God and start living like a child of God. You will be glad.
With what I have seen with Nigerian election and last Edo gubernatorial elections you cannot trust the masses. At each pooling booth a rep of the party stands few meters away, you thumb print, show them, then come for your 5k. Obaseki should not trust these people, everybody is ready to cash out, he should be very sure before he venture into it otherwise keep your looted funds and prepare for EFCC incase your books are not clean.
Do online orientation now, people should serve in their various community or you pay the alawee to various potential corpers because it wont be funny ooo, no be now that you have increased the alawee. New corpers no be so?

Let the Senate do the needful too, its high time we change our learning and teaching modes, this will reduce the pressure on the limited infrastructure in our schools imagine students of 150 in a classroom meant for 50 students. Most times they dont even hear what the lecturer is teaching. This will also help student to focus on other things and liberate them from demi God lecturers.
PrecioussB: I am young and beautiful but when it comes to dating maybe because of some failed relationships, I rather stay on my own.
I remember even on valentine's day since i had broken up with my bf, i just decided to chill by myself. Ealking to the store, met some guys you know how they toast now, telling me why a beautiful girl like me is not on a date? and i jokingly replied i have one or just joke along.
Now I'm thinking, i might be wasting my beauty and youth because i have not been dating for long, have the zeal and will but don't have the strength.
Shouldn't I enjoy all those things now before I start looking old? My last relationship really exhausted me.
TheSkyIsRed: Hello Nairalanders! Please I'm in serious need of your candid advice. Let me go straight to the point.
I've been going through a delimma for some days now. I'm presently working with a microfinance bank and i earn about 40k after tax. Recently, I was offered a job in government house with a salary slightly above my present salary.
In my present place of work, there is job security and I learn a lot on the job although the salary ain't much. In the new job, there is free accommodation but no job security because I'm being employed by the SA (special assistant) to the governor and i won't be getting any official appointment letter.
The problem now is, I'm stuck between the two. I don't know if I'm to go with the new offer or continue with my present job. I don't want to take a decision that I might regret tomorrow. My fear is that I might be sacked at any time because I'm not employed directly by the government but the SA.
I've been thinking about it and i still don't know the best decision to take. So, I decided to seek advice from nairaland cause I know I can get good advice here.
Please I will appreciate your sincere advice and contributions.
Take the new offer and proof your worth, be resourceful and you may end up opening your own Microfinance Bank in the future. Ensure you be a man of integrity, loyal and refuse to soil your hand no matter what.
ModestGal: Everything is wrong with marrying for the sake of money while neglecting other things you sincerely care about. Judging from the ex of the lady, shes not into old men, because her ex is a young handsome guy. The fact that she shows off money is a reason to know that shes not happy, because showing off is a way of telling people I'm good, happy and better, and if you need to say you are good, happy and better, it shows you are not. Let's not pretend what is wrong is right, unless you can proof to me how its normal for a young girl of her age to fall for an old man. Let's enter psychology please, and proof it, I'm proofing mine from there
You based your argument on hearsay. The ex caught her while she knew nothing about life. When people grow perception changes. You assumed flaunting wealth is a sign of unhappiness so you assumed again not flaunting it is a sign of happiness, happiness is contentment, pleasure, contentedness, satisfaction, cheerfulness, cheeriness, merriment, it's a state of being happy. Is Regina happy? Yes she is unless you have another reason. If I ask you between money and love what sustains a marriage you will say love but i tell you it's both because love endures with the hope that money will come one day. Finally I dont need to proof to you that a young girl of her age can marry an older man for love because she is not a girl but adult and all I see is a lucky girl and a lucky man.
I just hope you will flip your taught and assume this could be true love.
obonujoker: Charles Osasuwa, founder of Rock of Ages Christian Assembly Inc, has said it is a sin to live in a rented apartment.
He said this in a message on his Facebook wall on Thursday.
He went on to explain that it is actually a sin for Christians to live in a rented apartment because they will end up having two lords – Jesus and the landlord.
He said “the tenant is always at the mercy of the landlord. The landlord can call the tenant anytime and he can request to use his apartment anytime. The Christian who is a tenant should work towards freeing himself from the second Lord which is the Landlord.”
Osasuwa also said churches who operate in rented properties are not left out. He said “a church that operates in a rented apartment is having two lords. This should not be.”
May God forgive us, nothing bad in encouraging people to have a property of their own but twisting the scripture to drive your point is a sin. So a Christian lawyer who addresses the judge as my lord will not make heaven. Its because we chose to call them landlords they are called property owner, proprietor, lessor, householder, freeholder, landowner, landholder in some places. I just hope believers will start reading their bibles and not leave it to men and women of "God" just like the...
And the people of Berea were more open-minded than those in Thessalonica, and they listened eagerly to Paul’s message. They searched the Scriptures day after day to see if Paul and Silas were teaching the truth Act 17:11.
It's not a sin for you to reason what you were taught by your pastor scripturaly and otherwise at times. God gave you that brain for a purpose unless it has to do with faith and you are free to ask Holy Spirit for direction.
ModestGal: It still amazes me how the lady would marry such an old man. Its unnatural for a young lady to fall in love with an old man with wives already
I guess its because the man is rich, well, she has inspired me to hustle till I become a billionaire. Just to show stupid girls that you don't need to marry someone because of money, because you can also make such money yourself.
I belong to the billionaire squad, this would be my speech when asked how I became a billionaire.
So annoying that girls would do that shit because of money
Everybody marries for a reason, it could be love, peace, power, beauty or money. Mind you it's all about choice and we need to respect people's choices. I honestly dont see anything wrong with both of them and no religion condemns it. I understand with those who have not seen true love to assume it doesn't exist. May God grant her save delivery.
The guy would be praying he is released to Nigeria cos once that is done, the next day he's a free man after few pockets has been greased
But US I believe won't let that shit fly, who him want grease for US
I no know the guy ways but mehn flaunting all those rolls Royce and other stuffs the way he does without a confirmed source of income screams scam
WDIK
You are right only a poor crook will pray to be extradited to US but the rich ones will prefer to come here, a typical one is James Ibori. I pray the US wins .
Thevideoguy: 15th OPM free school opened in Etche, Rivers state.
Amidst covid-19 challenges, OPM opens another free school. The story behind this particular free school is captivating.
OPM rescued two kids who witnessed their parents die and remained in the same house with corpse for more than a month before locals discovered them and contacted the police who contacted OPM.
OPM rescued the kids, who now live with Apostle Chibuzor in his house, and have been enrolled into school.
On one of the visits to the community, Apostle Chibuzor learnt the community had no school. He then promised to open a free school there.
True to his words, he just commissioned one in the community.
Like I always say, if there is a man who understands the concept of Christianity from Christ's lifestyle as documented in the Bible, it is Apostle Chibuzor Gift Chinyere of OPM.
All I can say is may God continue to bless him and all those whose tithes and offerings have been used to make other people's lives better.

stevmatt15: Nobody has ever died of being single, but many, I mean countless of many has died for marrying a wrong woman and the death rate is still increasing.
What now is the solution? Is being single more enjoyable than married life?
If you marry the right person you will enjoy more than when you are single its vice versa but mind you reckless lifestyles of singles have sent more to early graves than married people. Statistics proved that married people lives longer than singles.
ORIENTATION101: Obaseki is a bad market for any political party.APC have not revealed the major discrepancies in obaseki certificates. They re witholding it for Tribunal as plan B.
Obaseki defection doesnt add anything to Edo pdp because he doesn't have a political structure in Edo state.his bad Advisers can't follow him to PDP,they will only grumbled for a while and accept their fate in APC.
Oshomole + ize iyamu+ federal might is too much for obaseki and PDP in Edo
It seems you understand Edo politics but some people will still be arguing, for APC to defeat Iyamu last time was not an easy task, I am sure if he wins APC ticket Obaseki or whoever will be a walk over.
Obaseki is about to be taught the lesson of his life, he is about to witness the exodus of all those that he taught are with him. Fear politicians, you will begin to see massive defections and resignation. They will prefer to decamp back if he wins.
