Picture yourself at a very crowded party. There’s barely room to put down your drink, let alone breathe. There are so many people and it seems as if more are coming in by the minute.

You’re trying to be social and engage with people, but you feel as though conversation is a losing battle. You long to be home and working on your novel or painting or just watching TV. You’re always one of the first people to leave a party.

If this sounds like you, you could be an introvert.

The way you act is often mistaken for shyness, social phobia, or an avoidance personality disorder. It isn’t that you don’t like to socialize; you just prefer not to.

You like people and create strong bonds with them, so you aren’t just a lonely loser. You enjoy your own company and can get overwhelmed in social situations.

These are the four types of introversion. Which one are you?

1. Social introvert.

The social introvert prefers to stay home, entertaining themselves with reading, playing on the computer, gardening, listening to music, or binge watching Netflix, as opposed to going to a party or event with mostly strangers. This differs from shyness, as there is no anxiety-driven preference for being alone or with a small group.

2. Thinking introvert.

The thinking introvert gets lost in his or her thoughts. They enjoy getting lost in a fantasy world in an imaginative and creative way. They enjoy playing virtual reality games, but enjoy social events. They’re overall very thoughtful and introspective.

3. Anxious introvert.

The anxious introvert has a lot in common with an awkward person. They prefer to be alone and not go to social gathering because they’re not very confident in their social skills.

They have a great deal of social remorse and will go over a social encounter repeatedly which they feel didn’t go well. If only they hadn’t smashed their friend’s father’s glasses in that awkward hug hello.

4. Restrained (or Reserved) Introvert.

The restrained introvert likes to consider things before they think or act. Hamlet is a classic example of a restrained introvert. After all, as he said, “Conscience doth make cowards of us all.” In other words, if you think too much, you’re going to be pretty slow to take action.

It isn’t better to be an extrovert or an introvert; they’re just personality traits. But the more you understand yourself and the reason you do and feel the things you do, the more comfortable you’ll become.

Are you married? About to marry? Are you terrified at the mere mention of the name ‘mother-in-law’? Do you feel a few drops of hot urine stream down your panties when you hear your mother-in-law knocking at the door? Well, I grew up in West Africa and I know that some mothers-in-law are actually matters-in-law (but that is not to say that all daughters-in-law are angels). So, how do you become best of friends with the mother of your husband and lover? Let’s roll!

As a wife, it is a great fear lurking in your heart, and you wonder: Will my mother-in-law tear us apart? Will she hate me with passion? Or love me like a daughter? What can I do? What will I do? Will he support her and tell me to go to hell? Get a glass of chilled pineapple juice and relax! I can feel your heart thumping already, and yeah, get a handkerchief and wipe off the steamy sweat! The legendary war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has
been there from the beginning of time but with wisdom, you will not only survive it, you will be a darling daughter to your mama-in-law. Memorize these tips, girl!

1. Never See Your Mother-In-Law As Your Rival:
Actions start from thoughts and you nursing such dangerous ideas will only lead you astray. See her as who she is:
your mother-in-law and the mother of your husband, and hopefully, your newest female friend. She is NOT your rival.
Some ladies enter marriage with a nuclear arsenal and the mindset of ‘demolishing’ their ‘enemy’. Don’t create
problems for yourself. As a woman thinketh in her heart, so she is.

2. Do Not Put Him In A Tight Corner:
Some ladies go to the silly extent of giving the guy an ultimatum or asking that nauseating question to choose
between you and his mother (like who does that?) If you cannot differentiate between maternal love and spousal love,then you are not ready to become a wife. Your roles are different, distinct AND separate. It is a bad husband who will ask you to choose between him or your own mother. Water and oil are both liquids, but
they just don’t mix. Hope you get that, sweetheart? Next!

3. Become A Detective:
Huh? I don’t mean you have to take up a job with the FBI or the SSS, but hell yes, get as much information as
possible about your mother-in-law. Know her preferences, understand her thinking, comprehend what she likes
(especially what will make her laugh no matter how angry she is) and those things that really makes her go gaga
with fury. Such CIA job should not be too much for you to do for a woman you will be stuck with for years. I said be a detective and not a spy….lol! Your hubby will surely help you with that.

4. Be Respectful And Courteous:
According to the Yorubas, ile oko, ile eko ni. What that means is that marriage is a place to learn (especially
manners, etiquette and good behaviour). If you really love and respect your husband in the first place, you will have no problem with this. If you are too pompous, arrogant or downright disrespectful, you may as well stop reading here. In virtually all the societies of the world, respecting your in-laws is very crucial to having a warm relationship with them and stabilizing your own marriage. However, I must mention something very important here: to be respectful does not mean you should become a slave or servant. You are a wife and you must always maintain your
dignity. Do not be rude but be firm. A daughter-in-law does not have the same spelling as a housemaid. Hope you
get my English?

5. Never Make The Mistake:
Of what? Of pointing out a mistake, flaw or error of your mother-in-law in front of your hubby. You are his wife and as a lady, there are much more subtle and cunny ways to draw his attention. Do not criticize your mother-in-law. Ridicule her, you ridicule your lover, and of course, the granny of your kids. According to Shimon Peres, the Israeli President, there are two things in life that you cannot achieve without closing a bit of your eyes: peace and love. Let me rephrase that: the personal lifestyle of your MIL is not your business.

6. Do Not Be Too Forward:
Inasmuch as you are to be proactive when relating with your mother-in-law, do not try too hard to impress. Do not
go to her place everyday (familiarity breeds contempt) but see her on special occasions or when she requests to see
your lovely face (with or without your husband and kids). According to one of the 48 Laws of Power, scarcity will
always create value. If you don’t believe that, why are diamonds much more valued than stones and rocks? You will
come out as fake and you may even be suspected of having a hidden agenda if you are always trying too hard.
Remember how that girlfriend of yours irritates you with her fake life? Be yourself, be natural and genuine. She will appreciate that.

7. Let Her Know You Love Him:
Yes, forget the superficial jealousy, a mother-in-law will love you to pieces when she knows that her son is in safe hands. But, that has to be done with maturity. Every mother wants a good wife for her son but their maternal
instincts makes it difficult for them to just let go. Blame the hormones. Prove to her (by your actions) that you are caring enough and you will over-ride her instincts.

8. Appreciate Her Gestures Of Kindness:
Not all mother-in-laws are devils. Some are really really very nice and will love you immensely even before they
meet you. Appreciate them and not take them for granted.

9. Discuss With Him:
In a case where your duties as a wife are being encroached by an overbearing mother-in-law who will dictate what
he eats or what he wears, register your displeasure with him (but relate well with her). A loving husband will come
back to his senses, and a sensible hubby will not even allow such a scenario in the first place.

10. Place Yourself In Her Shoes:
Know that it hurts her and is a patch of mixed feelings. Yes, he is your husband but it’s still her son, even though she now knows that another lady (YOU!) will now get all the attention and devotion that she has received
UNCHALLENGED for decades. She will subconsciously see you as a coup-plotter ovethrowing her ‘government’, and
displacing her from power. Once you understand this, you should be smart enough to sympathize with her by
reacting with wisdom. In short, do not take everything personal.

11. Detach Yourself When It Gets Too Hot:
If she is still determined to give you a tough time and make life hell for you, detach yourself emotionally and discuss with your husband. Just know that some mother-in-laws are incorrigible and can never be satisfied. Do not kill yourself over that. Maintain your distance but never disrespect her or worsen the condition. At this point, your hubby will do the rest of the healing.

12. Gauge Yourself:
Are you wicked yourself? Yes, you. Stop rolling your eyes…lol! Is there anything evil or indecent about you that is always pissing off your mother-in-law? For the sake of your marriage and peace in your home, assess yourself and
make sure that there is no fault from your own side.

13. Draw The Lines:
You married her son, and not her. Let her know when she is crossing the boundaries. Do this compassionately and
very subtly. Get clues from your spouse. In the African setting, many mother-in-laws find it very easy to intimidate wives who do not seem firm or do not even know the basic responsibilities of a wife. But remember, in asserting your rights as a wife, do it with the tact and skills of a diplomat. Don’t get him irritated.

14. Sync Her Up With Your Own Mother:
Mothers-in-law suffer from the same ‘son absence syndrome’ and always understand themselves better. Also, being
of the same generation, age and mentality, your MIL is more likely to get along better with your mother than you, a
‘flashy’ babe of the 21st century. Let your mother handle that aspect. A good relationship between the two women
will only tip the table in your favour, okay? Good.

15. Communicate With Her:
Did your heart just skip a beat?! I hear some of the ladies saying ‘Over my dead body! I can’t have anything to do
with my mother-in-law’. Remember, loving the honey and hating the bees is not only hypocritical, it does not make
sense. Choose your time very well, when she is in high spirits and have a deep, mother-daughter discussion with her. Do not avoid your MIL. You will only succeed in making yourself more of a stranger (which was your status before).

16. Be kind and compassionate:
Especially if she is of frail health. You’ve got a mother too and one day, you will also become a mother-in-law.
Remember the Golden Rule, and yeah, the Law of Karma.

17. Chill:
Most of the time, mothers-in-law do not have any evil behind even the most mischievous of their actions. They are
only a bit insecure thinking that no person is good enough for their child, or a woman has come to spoil the existing mother-son relationship. Such a reaction is perfectly normal and natural. Do not give yourself sleepless nights over that. Studies have show that most of the time, they mean no harm.

18. let him take up responsibility:
Make sure your husband performs his roles and fulfills his responsibilities as a child to parents. Apart from the fact that you will be laying a very good foundation for your own kids, no one will accuse you of being a callous wife who made him turn his back on his siblings and parents. Be very firm and insistent on this. That he is madly in love with you does not mean he should forget his source. Remind him if he drifts off, it will be to your benefit.

19. Do Not Let Your Ego Get In The Way:
Do not think twice before apologizing and making amends if you have offended her. But do not degrade yourself for
something you’ve never done. Do not allow anyone to blackmail you into submission or surrender. Funnily enough,
she may find it difficult to apologize to you because of many reasons. Do not take that to heart. It is the pride of a mother-in-law.

20. Avoid Arguments With Her:
Oh, you prefer to cook meat by boiling it and she prefers steaks? Do not drag the issue needlessly. Calmly agree.
Remember arguments with even your own Mom do not always come out nicely. It is better to lose an argument to
your mother-in-law than for you to lose your mother-in-law to an argument. Use your head and keep your debating
skills for your girlfriends (especially if you are a lawyer…lmao!)

21. Always See The Good Side Of Your MIL:
Positivity helps. Avoid being judgmental. You cannot form that bond of love if you are always judging her.

22. Let Her Mingle With Her Grandchildren Freely.
Studies have shown that mother-in-laws actually see your own kids as 100% theirs! If she wants to pamper them to
high heavens and take them out and have them to herself all day long at the beach, just let them go. You will even
have the whole house to yourself and your husband! And what can be better than that? #winks!

23. Pray, pray and PRAY!
For those who think MILs are overbearing, you need to realize that she actually made him who he is. She fed him,
suffered for him, was hurt because of him, kept him safe and warm, watched him grow…all these understandably
makes her possessive (she has the right to), and that is normal (are you not jealously possessive of your hubby even without all these, yes, you now gerrit). She may also be afraid or insecure that she will grow old and the son she has laboured for all her life will forget and abandon her. As a daughter-in-law, ease all these fears, see things through her lenses and you become best of friends!

Remember that even the strongest of marriages can be destroyed with inlaw troubles. Be smart, diplomatic and calm
in all your dealings. A friendly disposition will go a long way to helping you and making friends out of your enemies. At times, you may need to work very hard to make it work but do not give up because it is worth it.

A new study has confirmed what many women already know: your relationship with your mother-in-law is either supportive and friendly, or marred by jealousy and criticism. Dr Terri Apter, a psychologist , found nearly two-thirds of daughters-inlaw believe their partner's mother is guilty of "unreasonably jealous maternal love". About half the women in her study described the mother-in-law-daughter in-law relationship as "hostile" or "difficult". About 55 per cent of older women felt "tense, uneasy and uncomfortable" with their daughter-in-law and about two-thirds felt excluded by her.

Another controversial topic I have been pondering over for sometime, which sometimes put me in a state of panic since we don’t know where we will end up for employment.

Has anyone watch the movie “The Devil Wears Prada is a 2006 comedy-drama film based on Lauren Weisberger’s 2003 novel of the same name. This screen adaptation stars Anne Hathaway as Andrea Sachs, a college graduate who goes to New York City and lands a job as a co-assistant to powerful fashion magazine editor Miranda Priestly, played by Meryl Streep.” This movie sends shivers down my spine, should i be afraid of all women bosses, are they slave drivers, do they even have any feelings at all in their well dressed bodies?

This also apply to the Men, I’ve heard stories of how the male bosses treat members of their staffs regardless of their gender, making them feel as if they are inferior to them because of the positions they hold, pushing them to breaking point, setting targets that are impossible to be met.

All this been said, are all what I heard and saw in a movie enough for me to conclude, I’ll say NO..there is a mix feeling out there. Some women/men categorically said they would prefer to work for a male boss instead of a women while some men/women said they would rather work for a woman than a man.

This hasn’t put my mind at rest one bit, the best way forward in this situation is to have a first hand experience which would enable us to decide whether we prefer a male or a female as a boss.

Would love to hear your opinion or experiences .

The famous actor Jackie Chan died of a heart attack this morning.


The historic actor, who made a name for himself for his incredible performance in 1995 Rumble in the Bronx. His enormous charisma always gave him the opportunity to develop his career as a singer, stuntman, writer, film director and producer. The brilliant career of the most famous Chinese ended this morning by a heart attack in a Hong Kong Hospital.


The medical reports indicate that he suffered a fulminate heart attack, which paralyzed his heart making it impossible for the blood to reach his brain, and other vital organs, that caused the death of this humanitarian man, who years before was named philanthropist of the year for his country.


The sad news of Chans’s death was given by his wife Lin Feng-jiao in a news conference, a couple of hours ago, where she said to the media, “I hope you can understand my loss, and I would appreciate if you can give us space for our mourning”.



Until now, funeral's details are uncertain, nevertheless, the body of Jackie Chan will be buried next to his parents, who taught him the meaning of love for his family.

Fluted pumpkin (Ugwu)is one of the commonly consumed dark green leafy vegetables in Nigeria and many of us in Nigeria have been eating Ugwu without really realising the benefits.
This type of dark green leafy vegetable is so versatile and can be recognised as a panacea to cure some of our hunger as well as illness if only we can look deep into its benefits.
While many people prefer to cook it as a vegetable with all the condiments that help wet the appetite, some just boil and eat it plain like that or blend it into a shake.
What ever the case may be, there are guaranteed level of various nutrients with any style.

See the following health benefits of Ugwu:

1. Contains a healthy amount of vitamins.

2. Prevention of convulsion- the young leaves are sliced and mixed with salt and coconut water and then stored in a bottle for treatment of convulsion.

3. Lowers cholesterol- leaves have hypolipdemic effect and may be a useful therapy in hypercholestolemia.

4. Boosts fertility- a study shows that ugwu has the ability to regenerate testicular damage and increase spermatogenesis.

5. Protects the liver.

6. It has antibacterial effect.

7. Rich in iron and can be used to cure anaemia.

8. Can be used by nursing mothers to lactate properly.

The vice-president elect, Professor Osinbajo is at the ongoing RCCG May 1st Holy Ghost service where he came out to testify of the goodness of God. Here’s what he said while addressing the congregation tonight;
"We were campaigning for over four months on air, road, rail, everywhere and God saw us through, protected us and kept us from harm. And on the 28th of March, God crowned our efforts. I thank God for the special gift and I thank God for marking me out as a person and giving me the position of the vice president elect. This is a fulfilment of Daddy G.O's prophecy earlier this year that RCCG pastors, ministers, wiil be used by God to change Nigeria," he said.

Am a christian though and am not the scarf type but if you are asking me to drop my religion to get a job, i will rather go learn any trade/handwork and be self employed.

What about you?

So touching.
The most painful thing is loving someone and you not realising how much you love the person till you lose them.

kingofpool:
Westlife mandy reminds me of a female friend that loved me but i took her as a sister, she gave everything and was willing to give more till the day I f*ucked up and kicked her out cause she was going beyond what I wanted her to be to me, after I started regreting why I sister zoned her, and I realised that I loved her much more than life... She gave all but I let her go.

Please If you did not eat jollof rice from this cooler, please mind the way you talk to me.

We need to let our female children know this that:-There are five (5) main dresses a woman should wear in her lifetime.
These are:
1) School uniform
2) Matriculation gown
3) Graduation gown
4)Wedding gown
5) Maternity dress
However, if you skip the second one you will not get to wear the third one. Never rush to wear the fifth one just because he has promised you the fourth.
Without us in this world, human population can never increase but at the same time beware of over-population.
Happy new month and worker's day in advance.
