I know a man whose wife was a former aide (or mistress)..or both..of the former vice president of Nigeria...
This woman made so much dough from her V.P oga back then...that she was later convicted of money laundering nd even did jail time back then...
Today her husband is the richest man in my town with a chain of bureau de changes nd investment banks all over the country...But if you see how this man worships that his wife that made him eh...he worships her like a goddess...
That's d kind of woman every man needs...those ones that can fight 4 their man's success...not those useless ones that offer nothing... absolutely nothing to a man...

MrCodeSolo:
at the bolded right there is what the T.A books called "the pull-back trading strategy".

To me personally, i feel we should check the btc news first for any major negative F.A, and btc at $19k? Is not a key-level support area.. my speculation is that; the overall 'bear' market direction right now is still going to be downwards trending... take it or leave it. And a major pumps can't hop in to save the day just yet...

Not when some major crypto exchanges are still laying off staffs (coinbase), and cutting 10% off paychecks (gemini exchange), etc. The Golden truth is a whole lot of investors are waiting around for btc at the $17k area... TO BUY and hence; the pull-back trading strategy will brilliantly come to play here....( a swing-like consolidation btw 17k - 22k ish or there about most likely.
If I were you, I would just ignore the rumour and boldly trade the news.

And someone will say don't come to USA. The analogy is simple......
Every young man in the village wants to leave the village for capital city. Such as Lagos, Abuja, PHC etc. Why? Because they have seen the vision and understands that life is different from the way they live in the village. When they leave the village, does it mean that all will make it in the city? The answer is No. Some will still sleep in the street of Lagos because they have refused to work.

The ones that are open to opportunities will eventually make it. Developed countries hold greater promises than under developed countries

Making Excuses 😩

In the book “What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There”, Marshall noted that people typically make two kinds of #excuses, either #blunt or #subtle.

Blunt excuses include “Sorry I’m late, there was heavy traffic”, “Sorry, I missed the meeting, my Google calendar malfunctioned” etc.

The problem with #blunt #excuses according to Marshall is that they’re an ineffective way of positioning yourself as someone whom others can look to and trust.

Resorting to them regularly makes you look as if you don’t have your #act together or don’t want to take #responsibility for your action instead, the unadorned “I’m sorry” is more effective.

Subtle excuses are those you use to attribute a #failing to some character #flaw, as if it were a permanent and unalterable aspect of who you are.

For example, you are asked why you’re wearing a long face, then you go “that’s how my face is”, 😩 or if you’re like me whose voice is usually loud when speaking🙈, then someone says you are shouting, then you go “My voice is naturally loud, I can’t help”
or you say things like “I don’t seem able to keep my mouth shut”, this is who I’m / my truth kindda talk 💆‍♀️

While to you, it sounds like you’re assuming
responsibility for your actions, but in the real sense of it, what you are saying is that you’re incapable of #change.

There is nothing to gain from stereotyping yourself in a negative manner, hence, ✋🏼It!

Acknowledge the behavior, let go of the self-defeating belief that they are part of you, & make changes.

I hope you got value !

Have a great weekend & remember not to make excuses this weekend 😇🎈✨🎉

My first work was with a British company and since then eh, I have not see that kind of treatment again. Currently in a Nigeria firm and the treatment is worst than that of Indians

Can you imagine

Originalsly:
If you are as good as you say... give private lessons.... cheap price... parents will send their kids... especially when they realize your replacement is not as good. If you get employed at another school.... lure the kids away to the new school .... the best way to get back is let him feel it financially.

BItt:
well the truth to your question is right there infront of you staring at you

Chachamiliano:
Thanks Hamachi. Apart from the good packages this US companies offer, the treatment they give to you is top notch. In those businesses, you don't know who is boss as everyone is addressed by their names. No unnecessary shouting or pressure and they fund you to achieve whatsoever you want to achieve.
HMO is top notch
In Nigeria, your HMO is rubbish (let me not even start).
Roads are rubbish
No power
No water

Funny enough that man that stays in the street of USA, has 24hours power supply. While we that claim to stay in good apartments over here depends on our generator or inverter. One stupid man will embezzle billions and we expect the nation to function.

Currently, we are being taxed on everything. An average Nigerian earning 350k cannot afford a tokunbo Corolla of 06 in two years. Talk more of getting a land. What a shame

Yea, so I should fold my hands and not do anything while learning. Am sure most of you expert traders must have had your fingers burnt while learning.

Kingsteve:
This has been my message on here, but these incorrigible lots are quick to tag someone as fraudulent and a Yahoo guy.

They will keep losing as long as they refuse to learn.
It's that simple!
And when they eventually lose everything, they will become disillusioned with anything trading and quit, with a bitter taste in their tastebuds.

By innocent, I assume you are referring to the weak, the nice person that did nothing wrong. The innocent suffers the most because they are easy, it's the simplest answer that I can give. It's the rule of the universe that the weak (understand as easy) will suffer. The formula is this, I made it up but I will explain.

1. If I can hurt you without suffering any immediate or long-term consequences, then why shouldn't I?

2. If I can hurt you and will suffer immediate or long-term consequences, I will think twice.

Look down to the animal kingdom, and you will see clearly this dynamic at play. The deer have never done anything wrong to the lion, but the lion has been hunting and killing it since the beginning of time, just imagine yourself as a deer for example. All the predators from cheetahs, tigers, lions, and even monkeys will hunt you, simply because you are weak. You can't fight back, and there are no consequences for the predators. A tiger can practically ambush your family at night, rip apart the pregnant mother deer, kill the three-month-old fawn, and nothing will happen.

So why won't you suffer? You are basically a coward. You can also see that the predators don't attack themselves, they are not friends, but they just know that they should avoid themselves. A lion knows that if it decides to attack a Tiger, it can probably pay with its life, and self-preservation is more important than defeating a tiger. If you really want to understand power dynamics and how the world work, just study the animal kingdom, humans are basically like that.

Of course, it soothes our ego to feel like we are civilized and not like lower animals, but animals are the honest version of humans. I can give a multitude of examples to show this fact, but this post will be unbearably long. The world around you operates on a series of codes, and if you can unlock it, everything becomes so easy to understand.

Ever wonder why lions and other dangerous animals in the wild just avoid humans? They will practically hunt a buffalo that is stronger and can lift a car but avoid humans that are weak. Why is that so? Its because these animals have learned for centuries that humans are not easy. You may kill one of us today, but I guarantee that we are coming for you. We don't even have to get close to you to kill you, we can shoot you from a kilometers away, surround you with spears, poison your food, humans are basically deadly. Animals learned this (well, except mosquitoes maybe), and they avoid us.

The day deer and goats, and impala start killing lions anytime they attack them, that will be the day lions will stop hunting them. Snakes, for example, are weaker they will be crushed by an elephant's weight, but all animals just avoid it, because snakes are poisonous, and animals know this, so they avoid the snake. Of course, I am not saying you should become a wicked psychopath, no no, all I am saying is that you should not be easy. There are people that when you see them, talk to them, and how they carry themselves, you just know that you should not mess with them.

My definition of a good man is someone that is very dangerous but has it under voluntary conrrol. Like a martial artist, they can probably kill you with a blow, but these guys will never hurt anyone even if you slap some, but when you cross their red line, you are gone. So don't be like the Nigerian army that harasses civilians, instead, be like a lioness that protects her family, showing them love, but destroy the hyena coming at night to kill your cubs. I understand that this mindset doesn't come easy, but it's just the way things are.

A real-life example of how the weak (or innocent like you call it) suffer is that everyone wants a taste of you. Pastors want to lock you on tithe weekly, to get a firm grip on your salary, the same goes for politicians that want you to sell your vote for a plate of amala and ewedu soup, and if you are rich, then the fake friends and fake lovers show up. They are like predators, if they smell weakness and naivety, they will come, but it's left for you to defend yourself. It is my problem if I decide to harm you, but it is your problem if I can actually harm you. It is your responsibility to protect yourself, toughen yourself, and transform from a weak man to a strong man, so then you can live in with dignity. If you want peace, prepare for war - Sun Tzu.

Hello peeps,

Please advice.

I stay with my sister, they av a 3 bedroom apartments. And I stay in one of d room because z closer to my office and I go to my house on weekends.

But since I moved in, I observed dat her husband always beat her.. I don't know if he just started or he has been doing dat before...because my sister has never complained to us.

Though, if not dat I leave with dem, I will advice every lady to pray for dat kind of guy...cos he z so caring, Av time for his family, comes home early, religious, doesn't smoke nor drink. Most times do d cooking if he comes home before my sister.

We r a bit close, cos z a cr7 fan, n we go to viewing center to watch champions league together, ( he prefers viewing centre Dan watching at home).

When I tried to discuss the issue of him beating my sister with him, he was so angry, and he replied dat z not my fault, dats y dey don't want a third party in der ouse cos ppu will never mind der business.

I also tried talking to my sister, she said do I want her to pack out of her husband ouse or wat do I want her to do if av not gotten another husband for her. Dat every marriage has issues. N she warned me not to tell our parents.

Actually, z not always a serz beating, may be a slap or two, den my sister will lock his shirt n dey will start abusing each other...after some minutes dey will enter d room n by d time dey come out z always settled. Most times I will just hear d sound of d slap in my room, by d tym I rush out out, my sister wud av locked his shirt n dey will start abusing each other. When I try to intervene or settle it. The two of dem will tell me to leave dem alone dat dey will settle it. But I feel bad whenever it happens cos I will feel guilty for not speaking out if domestic violence leads to my sister's death someday.

Please advice if I shud report to our parents or not.

There is a housing crisis. Some move from cheap hotels to homelessness.... However, their I visited Lagos and the only money I had was my transport fees. So I slept outside and noticed that around 4am, two youths that were well dressed came out a small zine shop. They apparently were going to work. Yeah, they are homeless in Nigeria too. They are people living in abandoned uncompleted buildings too.


The Americans homeless, few are going through temporary hardship, the majority have different stages of mental illness and drug abuse.
But I get the message, it's not all sunshine and we should plan before we japa.

GardenOfGod:
