legalwealth: This is nice page with nice update but for getting across to this page,I will like to suggest these four pages on this same nairaland that you need to read for more details on operating a functional PayPal account in Nigeria.
naijacartoon: Alright, let me start this way, you spend 6yrs in primary school, 6yrs in secondary sch, 4yrs(minimum) in university. YOU can stop there or go for Pgd, master, doctorate, professorship. To become a professor is it easy? can you do master without Bsc? But don't you need 5waec papers as requirement for bsc program? There are also different job for different people based on their qualification. To be a lecturer, you must hold msc right? To climb the ladder will you not upgrade ur qualification, the process involved will it be just for free or automatic? That is just an analogy for your personal consumption.
To clearify you on my earlier facts, Ccna,ccnp,ccie are from one source Cisco. Difference is that na is the fundamental level, np is intermediate and ie is advanced. Did you find out how many people are ie holders in Nigeria? Ok that school to start with. Get the bsc which is na, you wil stil get job, gather experience and ask if you want to climb the ladder, then go for np. Most of your teachers are in the np grade. I hope you know that you cant get np without na and ie without np and there are sub specialties there. Back to ie, what do u want to do with it, want to leave Naijacartoon alone in Naija? Lol market and pay package and benefits is at peak for i.e holders. YES i said cheap in the technical sence as na,np,ie are just one line certification and you can do something even with na. To mobile, we have android,java, windows and apple platform, different vendors, diff learning curve except u just want to pick android and concentrate then be prepared for the headache of downgrading and upgrading to latest version, post version and previous version compartibility, code rewriting and bug fixing and what if i came to you and say i want my naijacartoon to have android and Ios app and you say no to ios, then your just a 1leg footballer..so that was the direction that i meant. Lastly on update, i just laugh while typing this part, update cant be taken away from technology it plays commercial role, maintenance role and relevance role if in doubt ask microsoft and miscrosoft own certification is leading interms of update and invalid certification, let me free my phone pad for now, have a lovely day.
when ppl say never hit your wife, they mean never become the aggressor. what is happening to to you is domestic violence and your wife is abusing you emotionally and physically. you need to leave that woman fast. she's poison! don't try to change her, don't blame yourself for anything, just, cut her loose!
EDIT: so I just read the old article you included in the link, i change my mind. with more insight to this: OP, I dont mean this in an insensitive way, your wife has some deep issues and must have suffered some intense psychological trauma to cause her to feel a lot of bitterness and act out in sadism when angry, the knife, the fork, hitting you with a shoe on your head and not stopping when you didnt even react!! this last one is a huge red light, something is really wrong with your wife, she loves to inflict pain and if her personality is as contrast as u say, that everyone thinks she's this sweet girl, then whatever is wrong with her runs really deep, it's not normal at all to keep hitting a person with a shoe on the head when they're not fighting back, she wants to hurt you, she wants u to feel pain.
I'm honestly convinced your wife has suffered sexual assault at an early age that led to a break in psyche, she's mastered suppressing her feelings, her nice girl act is not an 'act', she's actually that nice. but when she's angry, all the bitterness buried beneath the surface emerges and she finally deals with all the buried emotion in its magnitude, it overwhelms her and she wants to act out to hit something or punch a wall etc. when she's alone and unhappy, even when she lived with her parents, u really dont want to see/imagine what your wife does to and says to herself, this anger she shows you, she's lived with it for a long time, she's been her own victim till now when she made u her victim. there is nothing she has done to you that she hasn't done to herself times hundred.
if you choose to for better for worse it, find a psychiatrist or psychologist and go with your wife for counselling, your wife, with or without you will never change till she finally begins to work on whatever buried bitterness she's had to live with for years. try to get help together as a family or get a divorce if u would rather not go through it. it's really that simple, your wife will live with whatever has happened for the rest of her life but how she manages the accompanying emotions, her anger and abandonment issues can all be taken care of with a good psychologist and emotional support on your part. educate yourself on the topic of sexual assault and learn the necessary sensitivity training and triggers. counselling will teach you all this.
no, i'm not thinking too far, your wife ticks a lot of boxes: -extra charming cos of distorted/low self image and need to be accepted -her over-religiousness is for closure that she needs and like u said her prayers are always for her god to attack ppl for her. even her relationship with god isnt healthy, it's a coping mechanism. the idea of a protector that will attack on her behalf. -she talks from 12am to 4am alone when you're asleep, OP, your wife is full of a lot of buried emotion, she really wants to talk to someone about something. -despite being a nice girl, before you married her, she had no friends -she's very quiet, hardly finishes her words (withdrawn personality, mastered suppresion)
you should never have raised your hands to hit this woman, when she froze for 5 minutes, it's not that she was thinking she overstepped her boundaries, she was actually coming back to her senses, when your wife gets angry, she loses her mind and forgets who she's dealing with. even worse when the person who angered her is male, she reacts with more venom cos subconsciously he represents her aggressor and she wants to hurt him to make him feel pain. she probably has conversations with herself and imagines herself confronting her abuser and being able to hurt him back and make him regret his actions and cries alone cos it's only in her imagination that she can deal with him. when a man makes her defensive in her personal space, she attacks. till u actually hit her, u just represented something that she has bad blood with and now you've added yourself to the list of men that have ruined her. she has stopped hitting u cos she has buried the incident of the slaps too but OP, the same place it's buried is the same place her demons she's battling are buried, she wont touch you but when her bitterness surfaces when she's alone, this time you're one of her enemies. the resentment is growing and when she sees u, she's filled with such bitterness she shoves u. if u do not intend to fix this marriage OP, walk away NOW. a lot of bitterness is brewing in this woman and if you add yourself to the list, we will read about u in the news the day this woman snaps. the same way u never saw her eyes so red the day she yelled, u will never believe she has it in her to go the extent she'll go, your wife will surprise you.
nigeria does not have a good support system for ppl who have had to deal with the trauma of sexual assault, society takes it lightly too but this is 2017, ppl should educate themselves on this, when we read here everyday '6 yr old girl raped in lagos by 43 yr old man', that girl is someone's future wife and she will NOT just be like everybody else, the scars of her trauma will show one way or another and she'll need extra sensitivity cos she's a "special" case. your wife is not a naturally aggressive person, that i can tell u and it's sad that another human being created this monster in her. OP, this is really not your battle, it's not you she wants to fight, you did not give her all the bitterness she's carrying, so let the slaps u gave her be the last, you wife is a very very bitter scorned woman whose hurt has taken years and years to germinate, the person who hurt her isnt dealing with it, u are. if u add to her bitterness and it gets too much, the person who created 99% of this mess will not be the scapegoat, again it will be u. i haven't dealt with sexual assault personally or with a family member but i have met closely with some of the victims and the effects of sexual assault are too underestimated. ppl should be killed for damaging another human like that.
if u do choose to save your marriage: apologize profusely for hitting her and become super sweet, if u choose to undo this mess, u have to be ready, sensitive, patient, very educated about this issue and strong for the both of u. if u choose to walk this path, u will watch her fall apart and u have to be ready to help her reassemble. don't let her hit you, hold her hands and keep holding it and talking to her till she calms down. your wife is actually a very sweet person, the person you knew her to be when u married her exists, just buried under layers of bitterness. i dont blame u at all for hitting her, there's nothing illogical in hitting someone who came at u with a knife, i can understand why u snapped but let it be the last time. your wife wants to talk to you, listen to her, she talks when you sleep, when you leave she follows you, it's annoying but it's her subconscious, she really wants to reach out. listen to your wife! make out time and let her rant, she will talk about so many things, no matter how messed up it sounds, keep listening. then talk back about whatever and if she interrupts and tries to talk, let her talk, just listen. u can stop the midnight talks by changing it to day time. stop sleeping in your sitting room, move back to your bed.
when you're ready to make the move, try pulling it out of her, on top of your new sweetness, be extra extra sweet to her for the whole week like her sh!t dont stink, on a friday(so if she spills, you'll both have the weekend to grieve), make sure she's in a nice awww darling mood and when you're holding her, just brush by a conversation u heard at the office that made u really sick "about a dude that assaulted some teenage girl and how mad it makes you that men like that are still walking around breathing and if they ever dared it with someone u care about, u'll deal with them and how no matter what she was wearing or where she was, no one has the right on another person's body without consent and the worst part is there are girls out there who have experienced this and told no one and the animal didnt get caught" stay on the topic of sexual assault and follow body language, dont change the topic, be gentle, when she cracks, try to get her to talk, say what u have to "she can tell u anything, u wont judge, u love her from here to japan, if it affects her it affects you, u are both one and she can confide in u etc" when she talks, encourage her to keep talking, show that you're listening, console her all you can, cry with her even if u have to force the tears though i doubt you'll have to force them, make her see that whatever sunken place she's in, you've somehow gotten there too but dont cry more than her haba. tell her that both of u will go for counselling together, find a good therapist and go with her till she makes progress to go alone. make sure u find a therapist before u try to get her to talk about this and once she talks, the upcoming monday, begin therapy. and dont expect to work this out in 2 days, give yourself time like 4-6wks to build the emotional environment of trust and zero judgement to be able to access her when the time comes. note: she has to open up to you before you can go for therapy.
-u can expect her to go into depression for a while, she might need anti-depressants, sleeping pills too, she will be dealing with a lot of emotion once she finally lets someone in. -NEVER EVER make a joke about her incident or say something mean to her about it... NEVER EVER!!! NEVER EVER!!! I MEAN IT OP. -if u want to divorce her and not work through this, which is honestly the easy way out for you, then pls dont bring up anything i just told u here, dont taunt her over this, dont ask her about abuse or anything, just let the marriage end and pretend u didnt even read this. she will still live with herself so she has it heavy already.
i really do sympathize with you, u have found yourself in a very unfortunate position and no decision u make will be easy. sadly enough, i feel sorry for your wife too, she's really lived her hell and she's putting you through it. both of u dont deserve this. i also applaud you for all the grace you've shown, it's very hard to break the cycle of abuse, abused ppl mostly pass it on to others, maybe not in the form they received it but they leave their mark, so i can imagine how strong a person u were to endure all the emotional & physical abuse. and no, slapping her back was not abuse, u defended yourself full stop! dont feel sorry for yourself, just do what u have to do: stay & do the work to mend this if u can or leave if u cant. u have to accept that your wife has issues that cause aggression when it flares. in time, u will also notice she's protective of children or animals or things she pictures as defenseless, it'll show in her mothering, not wanting your kid to go out, being too clingy to the child, convinced the big bad world is out to get her child, all that u will both work through in due time. once you can get your wife to show you the dark place she's in, it'll not be her safe place anymore, she can't hide there anymore, whatever's comes to surface will be dealt with by both of you and u will finally live with the smiling smiling girl u married. good luck OP

And these two are like the major leaders to helping you build strong cell walls for youthful and well-nourished skin.
Avocados contain much of essential fatty acids Omega-3 and monounsaturated fats. They are natural wrinkle softeners and beautifies your skin from within," says Macrobiotic Nutritionist Shilpa Arora.
2. Eggs: Foremost Nutritionist Shilpa Arora also suggests that 98% of your hair, skin and nails are made of structural proteins.
Therefore ample protein intake can help aid your reduction of visible signs of ageing whereas deficiencies can result in full blown out pre-mature ageing and even droopy facial muscles.
Eggs are one of the perfect sources of high quality ample proteins.

They aid your body system in building cell membranes and preserving collagen that gives you soft, smooth and fresh skin.

Yogurt can also be applied on your skin surface. The lactic acid present in it helps to dissolve your dead skin cells.

Interesting analysis from an author trying to promote his site speed testing service. The site speed testing service has no single server on the African continent. A test from within Nigeria would have been way more accurate. Why should Web4Africa be blackmailed with speed tests to Singapore, Sydney, Japan etc when about 80% of our valued clients are in Africa?
We have server hosting equipment across Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, serving our clients and audience at unbeatable low latency and network speed delivery.
For a website that is chasing a global audience, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) exist to breach the global latency issue. Thus, the location of your hosting server doesn't matter much if you make use of a CDN service that has a really global footprint.
Say your website is hosted in Nigeria, the speed to users in far-flung places like New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, Russia etc would be very fast if the CDN service has a presence in those locations. Some CDN services are CloudFlare, Fastly etc.
adeptniyi: Blogger comes with free traffic, one of my blogs with custom domain had 18 page views in the first by activation auto share to gplus, on WordPress i f your seo implementaion is not sound enough any your web is slow-loading or not mobile friendly then it may take forever to get visitors to come read your blog.

Day 1 start with blogger/
Day 2 add custom domain to blogger or

Realfitbody: Hello, guys, it's your favorite health blogger, Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor
I am completely against starving yourself to look good, although many celebrities claim to do it, one thing you and I know is that many hot looking celebrities have money to spend on hospital bills when their body starts reacting to the lack of sufficient nutrients (which might due to starvation).
To look good you need to think about the way healthy good looking people do and not just grab any advice you see on the internet, you need something that works and most importantly something that can work for you.
These tips are not to trick your body into believing that it is full. It's more of discipline.
5 Ways To Control The Amount Of Food You Eat Without Starving
1. Decide How Much You Want to Eat
Decide how much food you will be willing to consume and your body will readily accept it. Although it would not be easy at first, you will be able to scale through if you remain true to yourself.
This will also help you maintain your weight long term as you are in control how much calories you consume and how you make use of them.
Making this decision simply means staying off the excess calories you normally consume all in the name of them being irresistible (a.k.a longthroat). After your dinner, don't go for any other meal just because you feel that your body needs more. Make that decision and stick to it.
2. Drink Water Before and During Eating
Make sure you drink water before eating as this makes you get full quickly and helps control your food intake. Also, drink water in between meals to help you eat less.
When I say drink water, I don't mean you just take a sip like Celebrities do when drinking wine on Africa Magic. Take enough.
Drinking water before and during meals is one of the best ways to control your food intake. Maybe its because it requires less discipline.
3. Smaller Plates, Smaller Meals
Use smaller plates, and eat smaller meals, these aids in quick digestion and allows you to make use of the calories that comes out of these foods.
Copyright: Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor (realfitbody.com)
Also eating smaller meals helps you moderate the amount of food you eat, although losing fat is not about reducing the amount of food you eat but reducing the number of calories you consume. A small meal should contain more proteins and fiber and less carbohydrate or simply just half your normal meal.
4. Chew Slowly and Longer
I believe the reason why most people eat a lot more food is that of 3 main reasons.
1. They allow themselves to go extremely hungry before they eat 2. They eat very fast. 3. They don’t want to control themselves
Take longer time to chew your meals and chew them slowly enough. Enjoy the taste of the food. If you think this is weird, then you are not thinking the way healthy good looking people do.
5. Drink More Water
Water is required to make your brain and organs work more efficiently and that is why sometimes we feel confused, easily fatigued and thirsty.
Also, increased water intake reduces food cravings which normally makes us eat more.
The recommended intake of water is at least 2 litres of water (6 - 10 glasses). But I recommend that whatever you take should depend on your weight, age and lifestyle as those who have more weight and have high activity levels should take more water.
I normally go for as many as I can, but you can put that between 8 – 10 glasses of water a day.
6. Proteins
Filling your plate with proteins help you fill up quickly and also stay full. A small breakfast of bread, tea, and eggs is good enough to keep you running for the day before your next big meal.
Spazwik: Some people have had to reinvent their career paths, while others have gone on to grow in their chosen careers. Maybe you’re wondering why you’ve never had such luck — wonder no more.
There are many factors that contribute to your career growth—factors that have nothing to do with how well you’re doing in your current job. Thankfully, there are a few actions to take to influence your professional growth even in Nigeria.
Here are four tough calls to make to reveal career growth opportunities you never envisioned.
1. Be in the right place
If you want to capture real career growth opportunities, go where your expertise matters most.
For instance, if you’re working in an industry that is stagnating or going down, it doesn’t matter how good you are at your job—your career growth will be truncated. And alternative career path options will be, too.
So be honest with yourself: Does your current situation lend itself to career growth opportunities? Well, if not, then it’s time to hatch a plan to maneuver into an area with better prospects.
2. Get a mentor
As a ambitious employee, it will prove helpful talking and taking advice from people who have can give you the needed push in your career.
These mentors could be the visionaries your company or executives who have a track record of developing talent and throwing people into stretch assignments.
Show an interest in what these people are doing. Ask about what they’re working on, what they foresee as the areas of growth, and how you can get involved and contribute.
3. Become an asset
Usually, the most efficient mentors are busy people, but they also understand that your success depends on leveraging their strengths. You only need to get them to notice you.
Find out who the successful people in your field are, imitate them, find an opportunity to get to know them, and become an asset to them.
Also volunteering to help out a mentor is a great way to build career growth. Ask if there’s anything you can do to assist, and keep an eye out for ways to graciously and enthusiastically help them be successful.
4. Set daring but reasonable goals
Based on the information and all you’ve learnt, come up with some career goals.
Never be afraid to go after the big opportunities, but in case they aren’t possible, go for something smaller and more reasonable
Even if you are only able to meet your small goals, you’ll be making progress in the fight direction.
stellytwinkle: Wanna kill yourself? Imagine this. You come home from school one day. You’ve had yet another horrible day. You’re just ready to give up. So you go to your room, close the door, and take out that suicide note you’ve written and rewritten over and over and over You take out those razor blades, and cut for the very last time. You grab that bottle of pills and take them all. Laying down, holding the letter to your chest, you close your eyes for the very last time. A few hours later, your little brother knocks on your door to come tell you dinners ready. You don’t answer, so he walks in. All he sees is you laying on your bed, so he thinks you’re asleep. He tells your mom this. Your mom goes to your room to wake you up. She notices something is odd. She grabs the paper in your hand and reads it. Sobbing, she tries to wake you up. She’s screaming your name. Your brother, so confused, runs to go tell Dad that “Mommy is crying nd brother won’t wake up.” Your dad runs to your room. He looks at your mom, crying, holding the letter to her chest, sitting next to your lifeless body. It hits him, what’s going on, and he screams. He screams and throws something at the wall. And then, falling to his knees, he starts to cry. Your mom crawls over to him, and they sit there, holding each other, crying. The next day at college , there’s an announcement. The principal tells everyone about your suicide. It takes a few seconds for it to sink in, and once it does, everyone goes silent. Everyone blames themselves. Your teachers think they were too hard on you. Those mean popular girls, they think of all the things they’ve said to you. That boy that used to tease you and call you names, he can’t help but hate himself for never telling you how good you really are. Your ex girlfriend, the one that you told everything to, that broke up with you.. shee can’t handle it. shee breaks down and starts crying, and blames herself . Your friends? They’re sobbing too, wondering how they could never see that anything was wrong, wishing they could have helped you before it was too late. And your best friend? He’s in shock. He can’t believe it. He knew what you were going through, but he never thought it would get that bad… Bad enough for you to end it. He can’t cry, He can’t feel anything. He stands up, walks out of the classroom, and just sinks to the floor. Shaking, screaming, but no tears coming out. It’s a few days later, at your funeral. The whole town came. Everyone knew you, that boy with the bright smile and bubbly personality. The one that was always there for them, the shoulder to cry on. Lots of people talk about all the good memories they had with you, there were a lot. Everyone’s crying, your little brother still doesn’t know you killed yourself, he’s too young. Your parents just said you died. It hurts him, a lot. You were his big brother , you were supposed to always be there for him. Your best friend, he stays strong through the entire service, but as soon as they start lowering your casket into the ground,he just loses it. He cries and cries and doesn’t stop for days. It’s two years later. Your teachers all quit their job. Those mean girls have eating disorders now. That boy that used to tease you cuts himself. Your ex girlfriend doesn’t know how to love anymore and just sleeps around with boys . Your friends all go into depression. Your best friend? He tried to kill herself. He didn’t succeed like you did, but He tried…your brother? He finally found out the truth about your death. He self harms, he cries at night, he does exactly what you did for years leading up to your suicide. Your parents? Their marriage fell apart. Your dad became a workaholic to distract himself from your death. Your mom got diagnosed with depression and just lays in bed all day. People care. You may not think so, but they do. Your choices don’t just affect you. They affect everyone. Don’t end your life, you have so much to live for. Things can’t get better if you give up. I’m here for absolutely anyone that needs to talk, no matter who you are. Even if we’ve NEVER talked before, I’m here for you. Copy and paste this as your status to show people there are people out there that care.let's see who actually read all of it. For anyone that feels this way
FrenzyBlogger: Here’s what a lot of people think will happen after they launch a blog:Unfortunately, that’s not always the case. In reality, there may be no increase in traffic or a gradual increase in traffic. You don’t simply need traffic. You need the right kind of traffic. And what if youdoget traffic? Life is good, right? Yeah, sort of. But what’s the point of having a blog? Is it really just traffic? I’d argue that the answer isno. Most of the time, a business starts a blog in order to serve a higher purpose — marketing, brand visibility, more clients, higher conversions, etc. A blog does not exist for the sole purpose of publishing more content. The web doesn’t need more content. A blog exists for conversions, revenue, information, etc. Traffic is simply an indication that your blogmaybe achieving its real goals. Gaining traffic is not a good thing unless your blog is also achieving its other purposes. What if you’re getting traffic from all the wrong sources? That traffic is not going to convert, and your blog becomes essentially useless. 1. You Aren’t Sharing it Socially We’re in the era of the social web. The social web refers to the fact that the Internet is a place of social interaction and collaboration. As proof, consider this: 40% of all Nigerian adults use a social networking site. When people “go online,” they are likely to do several things — research, email, etc. — but increasingly all these activities are integrated socially. For example, someone doesn’t simply read an article. They share it, comment on it, tweet it, etc. It naturally follows that an online strategy devoid of social sharing is missing out on the vast and viral potential of the social web. Solution: Promote your content Writing content is only half of content marketing. The other half is spreading that content. Don’t expect the traffic to come flooding in after you click “publish.” Publish your content, and then promote it. Here are some tips: *.Add sharing buttons to your blog article. *.Share content at the peak times for your audience’s social activity. *.Share your article on Twitter with images. *.Share content multiple times on every social site. *.Keep up with your content as it circulates on social, and be sure to participate in the conversation. *.Encourage blog authors, contributors, and team members to use their existing social networks to share the article. 2. You Aren’t Focusing on Any One Keyword or Subject Much of SEOis fairly common knowledge by this point. Most people are at least aware of keywords, and title tags, and have at least a vague idea of how it all works together. But in spite of the widespread knowledge, it can be hard to strategically apply it to one’s own blog. Keyword optimization is one such shortcoming. Often, a blog writer starts by assembling an editorial calendar, which is basically a list of blog articles with dates. She may select these article titles based on the fact that they are interesting or perceived to be relevant to the target audience. Solution: Research and target long tail keywords This approach described above is misguided. Content marketing should not start with articles. It should start with research. *.Understand your marketing persona. *.Understand what they are searching for. *.Understand the intent behind their queries. *.Understand the keywords that would gain traffic from these queries. 4. Your Blog Design is Horrible Another user experience issue is blog design. Why does it matter? The way your blog looks, feels, and functions affects how users engage with your blog. If the design is awful, then your users will not engage with the blog. Solution Based on my research and analysis, here are the ingredients of a great blog design: *.Your website should be responsive. If your website is not mobile optimized, it won’t be featured in mobile search results. Use this toolto see if Google views you as mobile-friendly. *.Feature blog snippets on your main blog page. Snippets are brief excerpts of a main article that people can skim through at a glance. *.Make your main content prominent. Place it on the left side, where users are most likely to look first. *.Use scrolling social buttons to encourage social sharing at any point in the article. *.Use an 11px font or larger for the body text. *.Use a 17-25px headline font. *.Use a sans serif font. *.Use a light colored background with dark colored text. *.Use headers and short paragraphs to break up the content. *.Use plenty of images. *.Use headers, bullet points, short paragraphs, and easy vocabulary. *.Include the name and possibly a brief bio of the author. *.Provide a CTA for users to subscribe to the blog. Improving your blog’s design can dramatically improve your blog’s quality, readability, and traffic.

Thirdly they're online tools like tinypng.com you can also use to compress your image while conserving its quality
Thirdly if you use WP you have plugins that you can use also to do the above but I don't recommend them. less plugins better
