FamilyRe: My Ex. And Her Husband Are Now My In-laws. by Gynn: 11:05pm On Jul 20, 2022
I suggest you help them out of the kindness of your heart. And for the fact your wife's brother is involved.

Imagine the tables were turned and you were the brother and not the ex.

Also, not all stories end like this.

Someone becoming rich or poor is not dependent on whether she stuck with you in your times of need.

So don't see this as karma paying her back.

It's just life

RomanceRe: Can Precum Cause Pregnancy? by Gynn: 8:07pm On Nov 05, 2021
Studies have shown that pre cum contain no or dead sperm cells.

However, there is a possibility that living sperm cells can make their way into pre cum.

If that happens and your babe is ovulating, pregnancy is sure.

Just to put both your kinds at rest let her take morning after pills.

That is if it is already not too late.

Guys, always use condom if you don't want a baby.

If you nor dey fear stds at least fear having an unplanned pregnancy with someone you're not married to.

FamilyMy 20 Days Of Consistent Exercise Anniversary by Gynn(op): 8:46am On Oct 31, 2021
This exercise thing is sweet when once you really get into it.

For the past 20 days I have not missed a single day of exercise.

And I can tell you for a fact it is one of the decisions that has made me happy in the past few months.

Before I started this exercise thing, I was becoming uncomfortable.

My stomach was coming out a bit. I was feeling really tired and stressed each day I return from work.

And generally, I felt less strong.

Then I made the decision on 11th of Oct I will exrcise each day for the next 90 days.

I quickly drew up a calender and pasted on my door

Each day I exercise I tick off the date. (you can even see the picture at the end of this post)

So far its been good.

Now I feel happier. Less stressed. More confident.

I am one of the fittest guys around.

My stomach has gone inside.

I sleep deeper and feel more rested when I wake up.

I stool very smoothly.

And to top it off I have become even stronger and harder in the other department. cool

Exercise is something everyone should do everyday for obvious benefits.

You become more healthy. Blood pressure normalizes. Testoterone increases for men etc

I'm sure most people are aware exercise is a good lifestyle to practice.

But the thing is most of us are too lazy to do it anyway.

Because where will you even find the time especially if you are a parent.

Even single people struggle to exercise, then is it a parent with a family to run that will find it easier?

So, the one thing that has helped me to exercise consistently is that

I do my exercises in my room in the morning. No matter how short.

I don't try to over-exert myself or exercise for too long so I don't lose motivation.

Because a good exercise habit is more of consistency than intensity.

On day 1, I exercised for a grand total of only three (3) mins. Just a light jog in my room.

Day 2 was less than 10 mins. A light jog, some sit ups, press ups and then I worked on my legs.

That is how I slowly built momentum and consistency

And I have become positively addicted to ticking off my exercise calender.

Infact, ticking off my exercise calender is one thing that makes me not to miss exercise.

So, 20 days of exercise done and dusted for me.

I've got 70 more days to complete my 90 days exercise challenge.

However, I will get me some celebratory suya this evening and reward myself for this small win.

You should exercise too.

You and your children both and unborn will thank you for it.

BusinessRe: Aside From Facebook And Google Which Other Platforms Can I Advertise My Business by Gynn: 9:11am On Oct 30, 2021
1. Instagram

2. Whatsapp status with high viewership - make sure the viewers fit the profile of your target market

3. Tik tok

4. Influencers - they must not necessarily have a very large following. The important thing is let their followers be:

- Engaging: someone might have 50k followers but his posts bare gets upto 200 likes or 20 comments. You don't want that

- your target audience.

5. Pinterest

6. Email list - find someone with an email list in your niche.
Strike a deal and he will send your emails.
Conversion rate are very high.

7. Newspapers - if your target market are people in their late thirties and above.

8. Porn websites - if you are selling adult products or food. Yes, food.

9. Facebook - People are still making it with facebook ads. Maybe you need to tweak your strategy

Twitter would have been good. But people have their VPN turned on.

angelfallz:
This is the second time I've noticed you discouraging the buying of coins apart from stable coins using p2p. Is there any reason for that?
I think its because price changes fast for other coins.

Between the time you click buy and when you finally pay for the coin, it's value might increase or fall.

For example, say you want to buy a coin anf the price is 10 naira per unit.

By the time you finally buy it the price fell to 8 Naira per unit.

But you paid 10 Naira per unit which means you spent more

[quote author=NwadykExcel post=107044939][/quote]I went to UBA and asked.

Here's what I found out:

Requirements are,

Any of the following ID card - International passport, voter's card, driver's license, NIN etc

Two References. They'll give you a form to give your References to fill. They don't need to submit any ID

Nepa bill.

Minimum opening balance of 50USD.

If you want ATM card, it costs 15.53USD.

I asked the customer care lady how many foreign currencies are supported.

She gave me the impression that all foreign currencies are supported.

Opening a Dom account is not that much of a hassle it seems.

Just go with the requirement and they'll give you form to fill

BusinessRe: Why I Will No Longer Be Saving Money In Naira and what I will do instead by Gynn(op):
Princewill1:
Saving your money in any currency be it Dollar or Pound Sterling is a bad move. Inflation and devaluation also occurs on dollar and in dollar economy. The US dollar has lost over 96% of its value since 1913 and over 30% of its value in last 20yrs.

Investing your money is the right way to go, that's what wealthy people do. Even if you invest in an economy like the Zimbabwean economy, you will still be better off than someone who saved his money in US Dollar.
You are right. But I don't agree with you totally.

Saving is not a bad move unless you have a whole lot of cash lying around.

For the average guy saving is advised because that is the only way (maybe not the only) to get a lump sum

...to be able to afford things like rent, land or even school fees.

But I think I understand your context.

As for investing in Zimbabwe economy, no be me and you o cheesy

"nice one bro...but option #2..never heard of it b4..plex can u brief me about dat bitcoin stuff..if u dnt mind...thanks!!!!
About Cryptocurrency and Bitcoin? yeah sure.

Cryptocurrency is classified into 2:

Bitcoin is one and is considered the main Cryptocurrency so to speak

All other cryptocurrency that is not bitcoin are called alternative coins or Altcoins for short.

People mostly buy Bitcoin to hold their wealth.

And one of the main reason for this is that over a long period of time, Bitcoin always appreciates in value.

Altcoins are mostly traded (bought and sold) for relatively quick profits. And the profits can be crazy (so can the losses)

For you to buy and sell Cryptocurrency you need to be registered in what is called a Cryptocurrency exchange.

Just consider a crypto exchange like the normal stock exchange but for crypto.

The most popular crypto exchange is Binance and you can download the app on Google play store to get started with crypto.

But there's a learning curve so don't expect to get the hang of it quickly

There's a whole lot more to but this is just the basic summary.

Hope I answered your question

Leave the domicilary account option. The way this country is going, one day, FG will convert everyone’s $ into Naira and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it. We’ll rant on Twitter and that will be all.

I’d advise crypto. You don’t even need to buy any coin. Just leave it in USDT and rest your mind.
If it’s crypto you you eventually choose, make sure your preferred app is Binance
FG accessing people's dorm account is exactly my fear

I'm going to give it very serious thought before I make a decision after visiting the bank.

I'm already doing crypto and the going is good so far.
BusinessWhy I Will No Longer Be Saving Money In Naira and what I will do instead by Gynn(op):
I was old enough to know when a Dollar was exchanging for 110 Naira and then 120 under Obasanjo.

Under Jonathan, 1 dollar will fetch you 150, and then 190.

Towards the end of his tenure it rose to 210 Naira.

Buhari came. Dollar became 250, then 320. Next stop was 380.

Early this year 410. Later on 1 dollar became 450, then 480.

As at yesterday when a colleague wanted to change some cash

The Aboki dollars said its 568 Naira per dollar.

But just so we patronize him he will give us at 570 Naira/Dollar.

What this means is simply that Naira is not a good store of value for long term cash

In less than 1 year it lost around 30 percent of its value.

It was after the aboki dollars encounter that it actually rose to my consciousness and I did some calculation

Presently 1 million Naira is currently equal to 1,755 dollars.

Early this year 1 million Naira was equivalent to 2,440 dollars.

In other words if you left 1 million Naira in your Nigerian bank account early this year

You have lost about 700 dollars within January and October.

So I now I decided to look at options to preserve my long term cash.

I won't be leaving any longterm savings lying around in my account just for the bank to give me 0.1 percent interest.

The small ajo (monthly contribution) I am doing presently - from next year it is cancelled.

Unless they find a way for us to be doing it in dollars I will not continue

I must make sure to put that monthly contribution in dollars one way or another

That is what I have promised myself.

And these are my options.

1. Foreign bank account

Having a foreign bank account is my long term goal.

It is not cheap.

And I don't have the kind of money to open or maintain one yet.

But I will get there.

2. Domiciliary account

I honestly don't know much about this.

However, by monday I am walking into the bank so they educate me on the benefits, costs and requirements.

If it is something I fancy, then domiciliary account here we go.

But I am not putting all my eggs inside the basket of a dorm account

Because

from the little I know, governement can assign itself the power to convert all foreign exchange in Dorm accounts into Naira.

Its extreme. But its possible.

It has happened in Argentina before. It can happen in Nigeria.

3. Save in Cryptocurrency and Cryptocurrency dollars (USDT)

I have already started doing this in a small way.

I have small money in USDT and I hope to increase it.

Thanks to my colleague who encouraged me to take Binance and crypto serious

But the issue is, it is easily accessible

because USDT (or electronic dollars as I like to call it) can easily be converted to Naira.

Anyways, more discipline is needed on my part.

Another option is to buy and hold Bitcoin. That is the only Crypto I trust.

Because over a long period of time it has proven to always increased in value.

In this Nigeria one has to be smart with the way he handles his finances.

By next year we will enter the early period of election season.

And historically elections has been the period the Naira falls very fast.

Because of the high demand for dollars during this period.

Anyways, this is my plan.

Farfalla:
If those women were to tell you the whole truth, you'd know that most of them don't even enjoy sexx and many of them have never experienced or-gasms, at least not with you. cheesy

They may put up a semblance of enjoying just to boost your ego because most members of the "logical" gender are clueless things. They can't even detect fake or-gasms.

They talk about you to their female (and sometimes male) friends behind your back about how clueless you are but they just have to manage your inadequacy for one reason or the other. Meanwhile, you're out there praising your performance while thinking somebody's daughter is enjoying sexx with you. No, she's not. She just loves you, so your inadequacies don't bother her in a major way.

Trust me, you don't want to be rated. You won't handle the truth.
"Most women don't enjoy sexx" is a scam statement

"You won't handle the truth" another scam statement

Most men literally take sex enhancers so they can satisfy their woman in bed and be seen as a stud

If he is not doing it in a way you enjoy, and you do not open your mouth and tell him how best to stroke you

It is more likely because you do not want him to see you as too sexually liberal,

or worse still a hoe

than the assumption that he cannot handle the truth

If your man is not stroking you well show him how to.

Men also gain pleasure when they genuinely feel they are pleasing their woman

Thank you

You're right, consistency is key.

However, its not really that hard to maintain consistency if you start small.

Even if it is 3 mins of walking round your room or jogging in place, just commit to do it regularly

With time you will get used to it and even become addicted to it.

Like me, I am slowly becoming addicted to ticking off my exercise paper.

I even added one more tick to it today.

Just start small. No matter how small. Even if it is literally 3 mins daily walk.

RomanceNigerian Men Lets Tell Ourselves The Truth, We Are The Problem by Gynn(op):
I am sick and tired of the many sob stories I read about women on Nairaland...

...BY MEN

There is no single day that passes we will not see a guy post about some silly things he is facing in his relationship

As usual, men will come and bash Nigerian women in the comments.

Some will in turn call the man a simp.

And the cycle continues. Day in, day out.

If it is not how the girl is cheating after all the love and care,

it will be about how she is denying the guy sex.

Or how she is disrespectful. Or she is an unappreciative gold digger.

At the end of such posts, you will see a question like

"What should I do?"

Honestly it's nauseating and annoying reading some of the stories here by guys.

When will Nigerian men realize that whatever vices or misbehaviour a woman displays in a relationship

The men are the biggest enablers.

Men complain that their women like money too much

Yet when a girl post pictures you see men flocking in the DMs asking for account details.

I think it was some months ago some silly he goat sent 100k or thereabouts thanking a girl for replying his DM.

FOR REPLYING HIS DM!

Christ!

Men will pedestalize ordinary girls.

When the she messes up instead of him to thrash things out, and tell her off

He will be beg

Probably because he doesn't want to see her go.

Women detest weak men.

Weak men are not good for society.

Men should show some leadership.

Stop using money to buy love.

Stop tolerating nonsense from one badly raised girl because she gives you sex

There are many well behaved women out there.

If you want them beatiful and rich or financially comfortable you will find them.

Work on yourself and build your character

Anyways, what you give is what you will get.
