Properties › Re: 10 Rock-solid Reasons Why You Should Be Investing In Land by GreatManBee: 2:49pm On Sep 04, 2016
Viktoreze:
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, vacant land is one of the most overlooked and misunderstood real estate investments in the world.

Whenever I tell people that I specialize in buying and selling vacant land, I get a lot of blank stares. I’ve found that there is a HUGE misconception in the minds of most real estate investors. A lot of people have this erroneous notion that vacant land is a “weak” (or even “pointless”) investment because…

It doesn’t produce income.
It just sits there and nothing happens.
It’s just boring.
It’s an unfortunate misconception, because the truth is – vacant land is capable of producing some serious cash flow and it’s one of the best investments in the world because of its hands-off nature and extreme versatility.

I LOVE the fact that land just sits there and nothing happens. The simplicity and stability that comes with owning the right piece of land (purchased at the right price) can far outweigh the myriad of problems that come with owning any other type of real estate. If you’ve overlooked vacant land as an investment opportunity in the past, you need to take a few minutes and get educated about what land is all about.

Here Are 10 Reasons Why You Should Be Investing In Land:

1) With Vacant Land, You Don’t Need to “do” Anything to the Property.
Forget construction! Forget renovations! You don’t need to be an expert or know anything about how to rehab a property yourself. In most cases, you really only need to know one thing: “Is the property suitable for building?” As long as someone else can build on the land if/when they want to, a huge part of the battle is already won.

2) Land is a “Hands-Off” Investment.
Have you had enough of dealing with tenants, toilets, bugs, mold, lawn care, leaking roofs, bursting pipes, broken furnaces, and the hundreds of other issues that come with owning buildings? Vacant land doesn’t involve ANY of those things. Once you buy it…   it sits there, it behaves itself, and nothing happens.

3) Statistically, Vacant Land Owners are Highly Motivated to Sell.
Why? Because vacant land owners (by default) are always absentee owners. When a person doesn’t live inside of (or even near) the property they’re trying to sell, there is less of an “emotional connection” (because it isn’t their primary residence). In many cases, you’ll find that these sellers are willing to sell their land for pennies on the dollar – simply because they don’t live anywhere near it, it’s not producing any income for them (because they don’t know how to optimize their land correctly) and as a result, they are much more apathetic about it. Find these people, and you will find some incredible deals.

4) Land Investors Have Virtually No Competition to Deal With.
Are you tired of dealing with such stiff competition on every property you try to buy? Are you sick of getting outbid on every good deal you’re lucky enough to find? Well guess what…  there is virtually no competition with land.  You see – most real estate investors have their minds stuck on: “houses”, “apartments”, “commercial property”, because that’s what everyone else does. Most investors don’t understand the superior benefits of land and this can definitely play to your advantage.

5) Land Investors Call Their Own Shots.
When you buy vacant land the right way, it’s easy to buy each property with your own cash and completely avoid dealing with banks and mortgage companies. When I got started as a land investor, I had $3,000 to my name and to this day, I have never had to borrow money from a bank. Ever. When you know where to look for great deals on land, it requires very little start-up capital to get your business up and running.

6) When You Learn How to Research Properties Effectively, you can Buy and Sell Vacant Land Properties Without Ever Seeing Them In-Person.
In 2011, I bought and sold a parcel of land and grossed over $44,000. The entire process took me 5 months from start to finish and to this day, I’ve never actually seen this property with my own eyes. Everything was done virtually, using the tools that you and I have available for FREE online. The beauty of land is that it doesn’t involve any structures. This means the inspection process is VERY simple – and if you’re doing the right research, you can easily buy your properties without ever visiting them in-person.

7) Add Seller Financing to the Mix and EXPLODE Your Income Potential.
When you combine vacant land with the power of Seller Financing, it’s a match made in heaven. It can open up the doors to finding MANY more buyers, because most banks are very hesitant to lend money on vacant land. Due to the scarcity of “easy money” financing, a land investor can use this to their advantage by charging a higher-than-market interest rate and many people will gladly pay it. Seller Financing is also a great way to create multiple streams of passive income that act like rental properties, but come with virtually none of the typical headaches that rental properties are known for.

cool Land is Very Inexpensive to Own as a Long-Term Investment.
When you buy a piece of land for the right price, there are no mortgage payments to make, no utility bills to pay, the cost of property insurance is nominal (if you have it at all) and property taxes are extremely cheap. If you want to park your cash somewhere and forget about it, vacant land could be exactly the investment vehicle you’re looking for.

9) Land Gives its Owner Peace of Mind.
Think about it – land is a long-term, tangible asset that doesn’t wear out, doesn’t depreciate, and nothing can get broken, stolen or destroyed. Put all of these benefits together with your ability to buy it for next-to-nothing…   and can you think of a better combination?

10) They Aren’t Making Any More Of It.
Most people don’t think of vacant land this way, but the reality is – land is an extremely valuable resource with limited quantities available. Especially when you purchase land in the path of growth, you will find yourself with a finite asset that a lot of other people want to get their hands on. Stocks, bonds, mutual funds and 401Ks all make sense in certain scenarios, and so does land. If you go into this with the intent of holding the right property for the long-term, it can make a lot more sense (and be a lot more profitable) than any other retirement vehicle out there.

Land Investing Is A Huge Opportunity
I’ll be completely honest with you. Land investing is without question, the most powerful strategy I’ve used to build my real estate investing career. I’ve bought and sold dozens of vacant land properties and generated a lot of passive income by selling them with Seller Financing.

nawebco:
I stand by my claim. No more free hosting from them. They just put it on the site page to deceive. I filled the hosting form and I had the message telling me thay are NO MORE giving free hosting. They then redirected me to another site. Go back to the site and check again
You're very right! I just checked out now. They have limited their 60 days free trial to foreign countries.
My current site is hosted with them, I started with the free trial and when I really like their service, I upgraded to the paid one.
I was told it was because their free service was been misused. The free trial is now for only foreign customers.
Anyways, sorry about that.
One more thing, I guess the reason I was able to use the free trial last week was because my company IP is actually foreign (US) IP.
I guess that's the reason I was able to register from last week's free trial.
If you can, you can change your IP and try the free trial. All you need to do is succesfully register for it.
You will be able to use it then for 6 months.

I needed to clarify this.

Thank you.

nawebco:
if you are a reseller, you back and confirm before you deceive people. they do not have free trial period. it is a deceit!

READ THIS CHAT OF MINUTES AGO

http://www.myasp.net/hosting_plans

→can i start with free trial?

Victor: Sure you can

→which one is $10 domain name and $8 Domain Whois Privacy

Victor: It's .EU and .co.uk, net.uk and so on

→Error: Sorry, MyASP.NET no longer provide free trial

→that is what i have when i signed up

Victor: Then you will need to buy a paid hosting plan instead

Victor: Please don't worry about it, we have 60days full refund for annual payment term

→you should have known u do not hav free plan anymore before saying i could start with that now

Victor: I'm sorry about it
I guess you're talking about something else with they guy. Its all glaring for all to see. Check their hosting plans. Its boldly written there. I am NOT a reseller. I just registered for another free hosting last week. Only the hosting is free. Or are you expecing them to give you domain name for free too? When you ask to start free trial his respose was yes. Try to ask proper questions before you jump to conclusion. Go to the site now and register for the free trial plan. You don't need to pay a dime. You can cancel if you don't like the service. For me, so far so good.

I've had it in mind for a very long time to start my own blog, done my researches, I'm opting for WordPress. Chose my niche already.

But, here is a problem I'm currently facing.


With the current situation of things in the country, the dollar exchange rate is on all time high, at last check #425 - $1.

This is making me have a rethink about going for a foreign webhost service which was part of my of my original plan.

But, the drawback with our Nigerian webhosting is the stories I hear about them.

Bloggers getting their website deleted.
The speed not as fast as it should be.

But I know for sure, that there are some good ones out there and I know bloggers patronize them.

I at this moment solicit for your help to suggest to me what I should do, is the price for a foreign service worth it or should I opt for a Nigerian company?

Are you currently using a Nigerian hosting plan? Which one of them? How do you rate their services?

I need your help please!

Agriculture › Get Buyers For Your Food Products - I Will Market And Sell For You by GreatManBee(op): 9:57pm On Sep 02, 2016
Hello to all the great agropreneurs on this forum.
I am currently looking for an alternative source of income to augment my month salary.
As we all know, you cannot be a salary earner and just fold your hands.
I have noticed I can do marketing a little bit and I believe food products will always sell any day anytime.

Are you there, you have a packaged food products to sell?
I am willing to assist you market and sell it while I earn commission from the sale of the product.

How I will operate.
** I will not pick the products from you. All I will do is market the product to potential buyers and you do the delivery**
**You can send me samples if you wish** This is not important, although it would be nice.

1. You send me the details of the products ( Name, Description & picture)
2. Send me the minimum order quantity (i.e. the minimum quantity anyone can purchase per time)
3. Let me know the price you are willing to sell the products and the commission I will get.
4. Let me know the location you can deliver to. (whether Lagos, Ogun, Enugu, etc or Pan Nigeria)
5. Let me know your method of delivery (whether yourself, NIPOST, etc)
6. **This is optional** Let me know the weight and size.

So, do you have well packaged catfish, breakfast cereal, nuts, in fact any nicely packaged food substance.
Fish products, animal products, plant products, chicks, fingerlings, grains, fruits and vegetables, etc.

Please holla me. Distance is not a barrier.
A man needs to make extra money to survive in this economy.

Business › Re: Follow These 6 Simple Steps To Start Your Own Online Business Today by GreatManBee: 2:34pm On Sep 02, 2016
importexpert:
Good Morning Nairalanders, my earlier post was "7 reasons why you should start your online business Now". the post was meant to help the Nairaland community think and see reasons why they should not be too dependent on the Nigerian Economy and source for alternative sources of income as other people from developing countries like India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have done. i want my series of post to inspire the Nairaland community to wake up and research alternate sources of income online.

Starting your own online business can offer many benefits. You can run it as a full time project, or it can be something that you do in your free time as a side business. The internet never sleeps so profits can keep coming in at any hour of the day, even when you're sleeping or on holiday.

You don't have to be a technical expert to start your own online business. i am of the believe that if you can register and use Nairaland then you can start up an online business if you have the proper information. Here are the 6 steps to follow.

1. Decide On Your Trade

Before you start your own online business you have to decide what it is you want to trade online? is it Mini online importation, freelancing, Affiliate marketing, Plr Publishing, web development, drop shipping, information marketing etc. you have to be specific and focused on choosing your trade. please do not choose any of the above for making quick money. see it as setting up an offline business for long time profit.

2. Decide On Your market

we have now decided on a particular trade. now we will have to choose a market. lets take an example that we choose mini-online importation in Number 1, now is the time to decide what to sell, who to sell to, where to sell etc. you will have to decide if you will be selling baby clothing, fashion jewelries, phones, shoes, perfumes etc. The more focused you are on a specific industry or niche, the greater chance you will have in selling to your target audience. If you try to sell everything to everyone you will almost certainly end up selling nothing to anyone. so please be specific.

3. Sourcing For The Right Product To Sell

Once you have decided on your trade and market you need to source for some products or services to sell to that market. in Mini-online importation you will have to get those products from the cheapest online stores around the world if you choose Information marketing earlier, You can either create these yourself or you can sell other products produced by other information marketers as an affiliate or by obtaining the resell or master resell right to the product. This is one of the great things about starting your own online business. You don't have to produce your own products or even buy stock from manufactures. You act as an affiliate of the product and you get paid a commission when you make a sale.

i mentioned resell right and master resell right above. resell right gives you the right and license to resell other peoples product without altering the name of the author, his links, his portfolio and the entire work.

for master resell right, you can edit everything and claim the authorship legally.


4. Build A Website where Necessary

A lot of potential entrepreneurs are put off the online business world because they don't think that they can build a website. But there are many software programs available that make the whole process easy. Or, you can outsource the web building phase for somebody else to do for you. in some business models like the mini-online importation you do not necessary need a website as you will be selling through classified ads site, eCommerce sites, forums, offline sources etc.

5. Get People To Visit Your Product

There are two main strategies to get people to either your own website, where ever it is that you displayed your products for sell or your affiliate link . You can buy website traffic in the form of advertisements that appear on other websites or on social media. Or you can generate free website traffic. This can be done through various ways. they may include but not limited to, fully optimizing your website so that it's picked up by the search engines, uploading good quality content to social media with links back to your website, forum posting etc.

6. Build An Email List Of Customers

When a website visitor first comes to your site, it's unlikely that they will buy anything from you there and then. So you have to build that trust and relationship with them. The best way to do this is via an email capture box on your website. To get the emails of your prospects you will need to offer them something of value in return that is connected to your business. This could be a free report or eBook that provides useful info to your customer about your products or services. Once they give you their email you can then remain in contact via email to tell them more about the benefits of your products and services.

conclusion

remember that their have never been a map so detailed that it moved the owner an inch from where he is. only action can do it. procrastination is said to be a decision of those likely to fail. you are not a failure. do not procrastinate and create an alternative source of income today save the Nigerian economy.

i hope you enjoyed reading this piece and have learned something from it. feel free to ask questions in the comment section
Education › Re: 8 Inspiring Things Mark Zuckerberg Said During His Visit To Lagos! by GreatManBee: 11:19pm On Sep 01, 2016
Ratello:
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was at the CoCreation Hub in Yaba, Lagos on Tuesday, August 30, 2016.

The 7th richest person in the world was in Lagos to hold a meeting with some key players in the Nigerian tech world to discuss how Facebook can be improved in Nigeria, and how it can support tech development in Africa.

Below are eight inspiring things we learnt during questions and answers session with the billionaire:

1. “Move fast and break things.

Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.”
No, he is not encouraging those with a penchant for breaking stuff in the anger to carry on doing so as if it is normal behaviour. He is basically saying, challenge the norm; don’t acknowledge limitations or in Naija lingo, never stay in your lane. Forge new tracks for your own lane.

2. “The question I ask myself almost every day is, ‘Am I doing the most important thing I could be doing?’”
Valid question. Are you dear reader, doing the most important thing you could be doing with your life, your abilities, your passions for yourself and society? Wait. Don’t answer just yet- think on these things.

3. “People don’t care about what you say; they care about what you build or do.”
Actions speak louder than words. You cannot keep mouthing off with no evidence to show for it. Take time to build; invest in the foundation of your building, your systems, your relationships. A house built upon the sand will crumble.

4. “The biggest risk is not taking any risk.”
There is nothing else to add to this.

5. “We don’t build services to make money; we make money to build better services.”
Perspective. Perspective. Perspective. Think, why do you do what you do? Why are you in business? To make profit, to solve problems, make a difference, what? Let your motive be right.

6. “I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.”
When a dozen projects are dropped in your lap with an impossible timeline, start with what’s easier. If you begin a Start-up, and a million things are calling for your attention at the same time, the trick: do what’s easier first.

7. “We look for people who are passionate about something. In a way, it almost doesn’t matter what you’re passionate about.”
Passion is the fuel that drives the mission. Find your passion and plug it into something.

8. “You are better off trying something and having it not work and learning from that than not doing anything at all.”
Loose the fear of failure. It’s a noose around your neck. Don’t be afraid to lay your hands on something new. You can never tell what it stands to become in the nearest future. This looks to me like Mark saw into the Cromwell PSI vision.

Let's do this with all our might...it's pleasing to see you all succeed at making a great new way for consulting service value innovation in Nigeria. Let's do this!!!

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: A Few Tips To Help You Write A Great CV by GreatManBee: 7:08am On Aug 30, 2016
PatrickOkunima:
Without disputing fact, your curriculum vitae (CV) or resume is often the first impression you’ll make on a prospective employer, and it’s important to stand out amongst the crowd. I must confess that CV is more or less a job-seeker marketing documents that provide key information about your skills, experiences, education and personal qualities that show you as the ideal candidate. Often, selectors read CVs outside working hours. They may have a pile of 50 CVs from which to select five interviewers. Its evening and they would rather be in the pub with friends. If your CV is hard work to read: unclear, badly laid out and containing irrelevant information, they will just move on to the next CV. That is why it is important for every job seeker to treat the selector like a child eating a meal. Chop your CV up into easily digestible morsels.

In order to arrive at a successful CV, these tips provide a range of styles-classical, professional, academic, plain, and fancy-which can be adapted to fit your personal preference. Sections for employment history, education, skills, experience, publications and interests can be arranged to best show off your fit for the role you’re applying for, whether you’re a graduate fresh out of university or an experienced professional looking to change career.

The Tips:

KEEP THE CHOICE OF WORDS IN THE FIRST PERSON

This is the first tip every job seeker must adopted. If I start my CV in the first person, he should not suddenly start talking about himself in the third person. Job applications are all about selling yourself, so using I, me and my is standard practice. Do not refer to yourself as he, she or they (unless it’s a quote about you from someone else). If you do want to write I the third person, keep it consistent. Don’t flip between the two.

GET YOUR TENSES RIGHT

Most likely, this will mean talking about old jobs in the past tense and your current job in the present tense. Of course, there may be exceptions to this general rule, such as talking about a past event that occurred in your current job. The key however is to ensure it makes sense and avoid switching between tenses in the middle of a phrase. Muddling up your tenses is not only grammatically incorrect; it also makes writing confusing and hard to follow.

USE THE SINGULAR FOR INDIVIDUAL ORGANIZATIONS

It’s easy to write accidentally about a single company in the plural if you’re thinking about the people who work there. But if you are talking about one company, use the singular. If you are talking about one company, use the singular. If you work at the BBC, for instance, you are part of its team, not part of their team.

TAILOR YOUR CV TO EACH ROLE YOU APPLY FOR

We’ve all done it. Whizzed the same CV out to lots of employers to save time…Stop! Take the time to change your CV for each role that you apply for. Research the company and use the job advert to work out EXACTLY what skills you should point out to them. They will appreciate the obvious effort.

REVEAL THE TRUTH

Everyone lies on their CV, right? NO! Stop! Blatant lies on your CV can land you in a whole heap of trouble when it comes to employers checking your background and references. The last thing you want is to start work and then lose your new job for lying. You also may get caught out at the interview stage when you suddenly cant answer questions on what you claim to know. And that can be very awkward.

INCLUDE A PERSONAL STATEMENT

Don’t just assume an employer will see how your experience relates to their job. Instead, use a short personal statement to explain why you are the best person for the job. This should be reflected in your cover letter as well.

GET THE BASICS RIGHT AND PRESENT IT CLEARLY

There is no right or wrong way to write a CV but there are some common sections you should cover. These include; personal and contact information; education and qualifications; work history and/or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; own interests, achievements or hobbies; and some references. Also, always present your CV on clean, crisp white paper. The layout should always be clean and well structured and CVs should never be crumpled or folded, so use an A4 envelope to post your applications.

KEEP YOUR CV UPDATED

Lastly, it’s crucial to review your CV on a regular basis and add any new skills or experience that’s missing. For example; if you’ve just done some volunteering or worked on a new project, make sure they’re on there-potential employers are always impressed with candidates who go the extra mile to boost their own skills and experience.

Christianity Etc › Re: Is Forgiveness Like A Debit Card? - Paul Ellis by GreatManBee: 11:00pm On Aug 28, 2016
jaysleem:
Op, I agree that forgiveness isn't a debit card, but at the same time, I think its wrong for you to encourage people not to confess their sins. The Bible in 1 John 1:9 says; if we confess our sin, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Even in teaching the disciples how to pray, Jesus asked for forgiveness; "forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us.
Forgiveness isn't like a debit card in any way, but saying people shouldn't confess their sins when they have sinned, especially by commission, it's very wrong. I don't think the scriptures you have quoted in anyway negates the practice of confession. What you're doing is encouraging people to go about sinning and not acknowledging their wrong doing, which with time will make them hardened and live perpetually in sin.

drnairalov:
A man is driving down the road and his car breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, "My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?"

The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. A sound unlike anything he's ever heard before. The Sirens that nearly seduced Odysseus into crashing his ship comes to his mind. He doesn't sleep that night. He tosses and turns trying to figure out what could possibly be making such a seductive sound.

The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk." Distraught, the man is forced to leave.

Years later, after never being able to forget that sound, the man goes back to the monastery and pleads for the answer again.

The monks reply, "We can't tell you. You're not a monk."

The man says, "If the only way I can find out what is making that beautiful sound is to become a monk, then please, make me a monk."

The monks reply, "You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of grains of sand. When you find these answers, you will have become a monk."

The man sets about his task.

After years of searching he returns as a gray-haired old man and knocks on the door of the monastery. A monk answers. He is taken before a gathering of all the monks.

"In my quest to find what makes that beautiful sound, I traveled the earth and have found what you asked for: By design, the world is in a state of perpetual change. Only God knows what you ask. All a man can know is himself, and only then if he is honest and reflective and willing to strip away self deception."

The monks reply, "Congratulations. You have become a monk. We shall now show you the way to the mystery of the sacred sound."

The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, "The sound is beyond that door."

The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man is given the key to the stone door and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. And so it went that he needed keys to doors of emerald, pearl and diamond.

Finally, they come to a door made of solid gold. The sound has become very clear and definite. The monks say, "This is the last key to the last door."

The man is apprehensive to no end. His life's wish is behind that door!
With trembling hands, he unlocks the door, turns the knob, and slowly pushes the door open. Falling to his knees, he is utterly amazed to discover the source of that haunting and seductive sound

But, of course, I can't tell you what it is because you're not a monk.

kay4fun:
Here are two methods recommended to stop premature ejaculation. Stop-and-start method: Have intercourse as usual until you feel yourself coming uncomfortably close to orgasm. Immediately and abruptly, cease all stimulation for 30 seconds, and then start again. Repeat this pattern until you’re ready to ejaculate. Squeeze method: Have intercourse as usual until you feel like orgasm is seconds away. Abruptly, stop other stimulation and gently squeeze your thumb and forefinger around the part of the penis where the glans meet the shaft (or your wife could do this).

After squeezing for a few seconds, try and pause all stimulation for another 30 seconds before resuming intercourse. Repeat this pattern until you’re ready to ejaculate.

Then try and change sexual positions. Some intercourse positions put less pressure on the glans (or the most sensitive part of the penis). Here’s what to do: Try “passive” positions. Lie beneath your wife, or try a side-by-side (or spooning) position. Avoid “active” positions.

Missionary and rear-entry positions place the most stimulation and friction on the glans, so consider taking them off the menu for now. And then take it slow. Depending on your personal sensitivity, slowing your movements and opting for gentler, more teasing intercourse can help you hold off orgasm longer. If you find yourself getting too close to orgasm, slow down a bit, change to a new position, or take a break to stimulate your wife in fore play. Make sure you focus on pre-intimacy.

Sometimes, “premature” ejaculation is a frame of mind. Even if your ejaculation comes quickly during intercourse, you can still give your wife a great sexual experience through more extended, intimate, attentive and generous pre-intimacy. Stimulate your wife enough manually, orally or with toys, and she may not need or want a long session of intercourse to finish happy.

Then of course, do PC muscle exercises. Flexing and strengthening your pubococcygeus (PC) muscle can help you exert more control over ejaculation. (Note that this is also called Kegel exercises, which you might have heard me recommend for women. The muscle is the same in both sexes.) Locate your PC muscle. Put one or two fingers right behind your testicles.

Pretend that you are urinating, and then try to stop the flow with a quick muscle contraction. That muscle you just used to stop the flow from the bladder is your PC muscle. Flex the muscle regularly. Try to do 10 to 20 squeezes in a set, 2 or 3 times a day. Do a set whenever you’re bored or stationary, like when you’re sitting at your desk or in traffic. No one will be able to see that you’re doing them. Squeeze your PC muscle when you feel ejaculation coming on. Once the muscle is strong enough, you should be able to hold it off just like stopping flow when urinating. Practise controlling your orgasm. When you are with your wife, focus on improving your control over your climax. Stimulate yourself to the edge of climax and then stop.

Do this several times before finishing. As you practise, learn to recognise the feeling of getting close to orgasm, and take note of how close you can get and still effectively stop, and when you’ve reached a “point of no return.” During intercourse, use that knowledge to slow down or adjust your movements if you get too close too early. Condoms reduce stimulation for most men, which should prolong the time before ejaculation. But while looking for a condom to buy, steer clear of condoms that are marketed as extra thin. Instead, get a brand that allows more stimulation later. Some condoms are coated with a slight numbing gel on the inside. This can help you put off ejaculation for longer without causing numbness to your wife. (Just make sure you know which side is where when you put it on.) Use an analgesic cream or spray. There are two classes of these products. The first is the traditional “numbing” creams and sprays that have been in the market for some time. The advantage is that you’ll feel less sensation, which will delay ejaculation. While the disadvantage is that your wife may suffer a loss of sensation as well and of course less sensitive intercourse is not always an appealing notion, even in these circumstances. There is a new class of topical herbs that absorb into the skin to deliver a mild anaesthetic to the sensory nerves below the top layer of skin of the penis.

This allows men to have ejaculatory control but with less loss of sexual sensation, and reduces the transference to their wives. If you routinely ejaculate less than a minute and a half after beginning vaginal intercourse, and none of the above fixes have worked, it might be time to see a sex therapist.

kolomax:
When a wife complains of her husband's sexual weakness, I ask her, what have you done to increase his sexual prowess? ?

The kind of food you feed your husband could make him perform soo poorly.

Sex is not an individual responsibility since both of you engage in it and enjoy it. Sex must be enjoyed equally.



If this is the case, wives you have a big role to play not by only inviting him to bed but helping him last longer in bed and doing the work excellently .

Let me remind you of Ginger and dried dates.

Ginger is a powerful natural aphrodisiac, increases sexual prowess, increase libido and makes one stay longer in bed.

Dear wives, when your lovely husband return from work in the evening and after serving his meal, just give him Ginger Juice.

Place ginger into a blender, cover with 1 and half cup of water and blend until ginger is thick and pasty. Strain and squeeze juice from ginger, place it on fire and allow it to heat a little bit then give it to oga to drink. he will climb mountain Everest with ease.

I have a friend who told me after making love to his wife just one round he fell off. Then his wife went to the kitchen, grinned ginger and inserted it into her vagina , that very moment his boneless leg became very hard and he climbed Kalahari mountain twice.

As for dates, make sure you both eat if before taking little of your 3 daily meals, it gives alot

The truth is that due to the exchange rate, things are generally more expensive on Alibaba and Express, Far cheaper on Taobao and 1688.
However, Tao and 1688 were created for locals to buy and sell to foreigners on Alibaba. But with help, you can still buy from there.

Just shut up already. Why is Joel Osteen not receiving the blame for America's backwardness?

Why haven't you killed TD Jakes for the backwardness of USA?

Why don't you blame Yongi Cho for the corruption in South Korea you black 'brained' corrupt Africans?

My religion shouldn't be blamed for your redundancy.


White Christian Missionaries gave you schools, they gave you hospitals and all you need, yet you won't stop killing yourselves over nothing. They should have left you all in the dark where you all truly belong to kill twins and albinos for dinner and lunch; kill innocent people for a dead king in tbe name of abobaku while you terrorize your women and widows with oro cultists and never to do well widowhood terrorists in the east; you black, wicked, soul-less and lazy corrupt monkeys.

Business › Re: Nigerians Must Begin To Overcome The Fear Of Becoming An Entrepreneur Now!!! by GreatManBee: 9:44pm On Jul 28, 2016
importexpert:
Despite all the economic woes and business/industrial downsizing, Nigerians are still blindly searching for jobs as a result of a burning fear in their minds that whisper failure to them when ever they think of being creative and do something personal. it is on this note i decide to write this to help wash away the fear that is buried deep within our minds.

"Less than 1% of people have the courage to face their fears, take risks, create their own businesses, change their lifestyles and become an entrepreneur."

Everyone experiences fear in their lives, even the most successful entrepreneurs out there. The people who became entrepreneurs have had to face and overcome their fears before they became entrepreneurs. But most people can't overcome this fear, so they carry on living ordinary lives working for the boss. even Dangote and otedola suffers such fear a lot.

Fear can take many forms such as being afraid to change, being afraid of the outcome of failure, being afraid of what others think you are doing etc. Fear also disguises itself as excuses, for instance 'I'm not ready to start my own business because I don't have time'. Underneath this excuse is fear.

I am here to share with you 3 Key Concepts that will gradually diminish the fear of becoming an entrepreneur.

THE VISION CONCEPT

Having a Vision of how you want to live your life as an entrepreneur is a powerful concept. Creating a vision first starts with realizing what you really want your life to be like in the future. You will start to focus on the thing that is driving you, and this will be a big part of your Courage and Motivation to take the leap into entrepreneurship.

Creating a vision will not only drive you to achieve what you want, but your fear of achieving it will start to naturally fade away because there is no stopping if you have a powerful vision backing you up.

THE BELIEF CONCEPT

Having a strong Belief goes hand in hand with your vision. You can have a great vision, but if you don't Really believe in it, you can't be an entrepreneur.

To really believe in something means that you will continue to pursue your belief no matter what struggles you will face to get there, and even more importantly no matter who tells you that it can't be done or it's not possible.

A strong belief will not get rid of your fear completely, but it will allow you to face it, and overtime your fear of becoming an entrepreneur will start to fade away.

THE ACTION CONCEPT

The last piece of the puzzle is taking Action.

If you haven't developed a vision and belief system, then at some point in time you will give up because your mind-set is not in the right place. When your mind-set is built up and ready to go, then it's time to apply yourself as an entrepreneur.

Once you start taking consistent action in your life and business, overtime you will start to see results, your motivation will improve and most importantly your fear will get to a point where it seems like it doesn't even exist anymore.

Remember the 3 Key Concepts

1. Create a Vision of what you want
2. Have the Belief that you can achieve it
3. Take Action to get there

lastly i will conclude with a saying that i find in almost all inspirational/motivational, self improvement and financial books i have read. it was in "the richest man in babylon, you were born rich, think and grow rich, greatest sales man in the world, rich dad poor dad, ziglar's you can reach the top" and so on. it goes as . . . . .

Never Allow The Fear Of Failing Surpass The Joy/Happiness That Comes With Succeeding.
Career › Re: 4 Warning Signs That You Won’t Get The Job – And How You Can Fix It by GreatManBee: 8:58am On Jul 28, 2016
JARUSHUB:
By Ansa John

You shake interviewer’s hand and head back home quite happily thinking that you have nailed the interview and you think you should be offered a job in the organization. One week later…. And still you haven’t received the call.

What did you do wrong during your job search? The interview was quite smooth, wasn’t it?

Statistics shows that about 50% of the hiring managers said that they knew enough about the candidate within the first 5 minutes of the interview to make the hiring decision. And within 15 minutes of the interview about 90% of the interviewers make their decision. So the smooth interview you had could mean that hiring manager from the very beginning had decided that you were not a good fit.

How can you be sure?

Following are 4 significant signs that your interviewer is not interested along with methods of turning around your performance.

1. Interviewer does not ask you about your availability to begin.
The company to which you are giving interview has an empty spot which they have to fill. They will try their best to fill it quickly. In order to do this, there will be many things which they have to prepare: employee orientation, paperwork of new hire, pay schedule and more.

These things require planning, so if the interviewer is interested he will like to know how soon you will be able to start. In case the interviewer does not ask you about the availability, it might be a sign of your CV not being up to the mark.

What you should do about it: You should turn tables on interviewer. You should not wait for the interviewer to ask you about the availability. Mention your interest in the job position and company and tell how excited you are to begin right away. Your interest and confidence can change the opinion of the interviewer about you.

2. You are only being asked the easy questions.

It might seem like an ideal scenario but when interviewer pitches only easy questions to you, odds are that you are not being considered seriously for the vacancy. The harder questions which challenge the candidates make them think hard and require them to solve problems are interviewers way of gauging how well prepared the candidates are and by this they determine if the candidate will be good fit in the organization.

In case you are continuously finding yourself answering the simple questions which do not give you the opportunity of connecting your experience with required skills for job, it can mean that interviewer does not think that you are strong candidate whom he should explore in more depth.

What you should do about it: You should be assertive. You can tell the interviewer that you want to ask a question and then say something such as: “In the last position I was working on, it was often required from me to do ABC. I have noticed that this position has similar requirements. How does ABC play into day to day responsibilities of this role?”

3. The interview is shorter than was scheduled.

The interview was scheduled for half hour, but between good questions of interviewer and yourself, you are out of the room within 15 minutes. Is that good then? Well not really. Shorter interviews sometimes are faults of the poor scheduling. However, mostly it is the results of the interviewer’s early decision regarding you not being a good fit in the company and it is the attempt of the interviewer to quickly move to the next applicant.

Often these interviews get characterized by one-to-one ratio of questions to answers. A question is asked by the interviewer and you give the answer. The interview will continue and there is not much back and forth.

What you should do about it: You should make your own back and forth. Ensure that you do have list of the questions before interview which you may refer to in case you think that you are not getting consideration which you deserve. After that find the ways for asking different questions as the follow ups in order to engage interviewer and to help yourself standout.

4. Interviewer does not discuss rest of hiring process.
Most of the organizations today have a prolonged process of hiring which can include many interviews, writing samples, portfolio submissions, assessments, and more. In case you are a great fit for the position, it is likely that interviewer is going to talk about the hiring process with you in order to give you an idea of what you could expect in coming days.

In case you hear “Thank you for the time and good luck with job search” you are probably not shortlisted.

What you should do about it: You should be proactive and confident. Take few minutes as interviewer wraps up in order to summarize why you would be a good fit for position. After that ask interviewer about next steps of hiring process and when could you expect hearing form them.
