Wheew! Let's have this sorted out.

Back then in school, it's common among students in tertiary institutions to have a roommate; as a matter of fact, some go as far as having multiple roommate or "roomies" as informally enshrined in the student's constitution.

However, as observed in most social setting, there's always diverse views which lead to disagreement when human coexist

I'm bringing this up for the new entrants and those who have intentions of studying in the higher institution to learn in order not to make same mistake and how to go about it if they are confronted with one

So, from your experience, tell us what caused the fight between you and your roommate and how you contained it









Let me relay my experience


To me, having a roommate is a bittersweet experience, I did have one, I knew him from nowhere, we just buddy up to rent a self con, reason being that I was indecisive and felt a roommate will help cushion me up when I'm down, someone to talk to and you know the rest...
I always fantasize about having one then when I was still in secondary school, you know those online nairaland stories(Flow, you dey there?)


However, We did have issues, we planned on eating from same pot, unknown to me, I didn't know I will be majorly shouldering the responsibilities of the kitchen...
Guy eats from outside and expected me to be forthcoming, was I able to solve it? I was a man of few words and I did tell him to contribute or at least, wash at when due, I hate the sight of unwashed dishes...
He changed and then reverted so, I felt really bad and start to think, it's better not to have a roommate.

Those cushion I expected could be provided by neighbors, you can talk to them and won't feel bored, God help you if there are females in the hostel, one could be a very good friend and trust, the experience will be fantastic...

I know some will beg to disagree

My ever able nairalanders; the floor is open for your contribution
Let's hear your ordeals

If you are in Lagos and want to be free from the above excessiveness by barbers, place a call to Femzy Barbing Salon. It's located at Badagry, a trial will definitely convince me you because a trial did convince me.

same here bro.
God will see us through.
Since February after we were ordered to evacuate the school's premises due to the useless festival of sports, we've all been incarcerated at home.
So may I ask, have you made any valuable use of the long vacation?
Mine is worst

Yours is better.
I didn't resume that January so been out of school since... Was it November?

Yea, while in 200l or so, I've been learning how to style hair anytime there's an holiday; when the vacation became longer had to stick to my styling.

Funny enough, people feel handiwork is a waste(Given I'm a supposed literate), why not intern or sell petroleum products as popular around here??


Then, I tried partaking in an online course, the course was so hard and I don't have some materials needed for it. Another thing is, there's no certificate to it so I had low morale in pursuing it


Anyway, the holiday has made me learn new things like HTML
Still at intermediate level

However, those seem uninspiring.
What about you?

Ebenezer2021:
I remember you got in through jupeb, have you finished now?

Excellent memory
Not done yet, in my finals

Didn't quit.
Jeez, my mistake was I didn't know it was an addiction, I felt I could stop whenever I feel like but the experience to me was sweet so, why stop when I can stop tomorrow, later, it started affecting my personal life, I'm always intoxicated especially at night, without it, couldn't have a good sleep, so, I realised I'm in a Penelope's web.
I dont think fasting did much but praying contributed just a lil ; maybe enormous in the supernatural realm but in the physical, just a bit.

So I decided on physical ways to stop, couldn't meet up still, said when I become become older, I will stop but as I grow, I kept on at it..... Hehehe


Now, I start having respite, giving myself a damn break and sometimes, I make a promise and lay curse on myself if I fail to keep to that date, I think that has worked.

I might still be addicted but I think the degree has lessened.
Alsoz this Bible quote do come to my mind

"Resist the devil and he will flee"

The emphasis is on RESIST

Journey to Self...

It doesn't need prayers, God has important matters to attend to.

You guys should contribute money for a new transformer, write to your local government/state government about your dire need for a transformer, hold the official responsible for handling power distribution in your area and then,watch magic happen.

Bloghomies:
One of the books I cherish so much. Also read the 48 laws of power, and the art of seduction by Robert Greene.

Please, who is this guy?

Read that. Had to go download "The monk who sold his Ferrari"
It's been a nice read so far. Jason


Lemme recommend one


"THE SMART MONEY WOMAN"


To a mentor of mine, it's a master piece.

Friendlyjoe:
The richest man in babylon

The monk who sold his ferari

We should be friends.


I mean, for mentioning "Richest man in Babylon" by George s. Clason
Then you're on track.


I will even advise my enemies to read that book... So mind opening.

100k? Quote me.

No be only you dey the bus Oga


You don't know even if you will be wealthy like Otedola or rich like oga mechanic

Brotherly, one day, everything will be clear like a seaway. We should just be concerned for now about adding value to oneself for now

True, there are myriads that have made it at 22 but you didn't know the kind of paddling they undertook years ago or plans their parent orchestrated for them.

Let's move at our own pace and maybe, with enough value, we would strike gold.

Even mosquitoes follow the process of evolution.


Future time, they will start having preference.

I mean, they will start choosing the body part that stores more water and feed on.
Good thing for human

Let me put it in a more decent way

If you know your family does not have enough and you are the one to break the jinx of poverty, I mean, you decided not to inherit poverty and bestow it on your children, then, don't go into marriage when you are not ready, when you are still trying to get a hold on your feet...

See, being successful in Nigeria is hard enough for one person, adding a companion and birthing a youngling in such state compounds one's problem. It will be a perpetual poverty as the op noted, find your means first, have a stable life before saying you want to marry.
Don't marry in poverty, don't you pity your children?


Jeez, I feel like crying while writing this

Lemme write it here, Arsenal would win the title and if this happens, know that the game was rigged starting from the semifinal

I think it's free or shouldn't be above N500

Somewhere in Lagos, it's #1000 if you have an ID and #2000 without ID

veave:
Errrrrr. You go need patience oooo.

One thing you should know is that your brother is now married and is firstly responsible to his wife and kids before any other person so him allowing three extended family to stay in this hard times is an act of kindness and bravery please don't add more stress to his life by bickering with your in-laws. We women are troublesome by nature then when we see someone who has our time we extend the trouble. The truth is
1. There is no way the room would have been left for you while there are women in the house (they need privacy).
2. Why will you say that you will go to the village? Don't you know you give your brother some kind of security in the midst of his wife and her obviously troublesome sisters by staying with him? Has he asked you to leave yet?
3. You where wrong to slap the young woman, no matter what the grieviance is you don't touch a woman.
4. They where wrong to throw your mattress out but please forgive them and move on. Thank God your brother made provisions for a replacement.
5. Take this place as a training ground for your future, if it's anything you should be bothered about now, is to be more determined about gaining independence and making it in life.
6. Leave rofo rofo fight for women, in fact ignore them totally for your national peace.
7. Hustle!!! Hustle!!! Hustle oooooo!!!!

Hugs.

From inception, I have always thought it's wrong to lay hands on a woman no matter the offence, but lately, my perception has been changing. One, because young females are capitalising on it and 2, there are some offence that you might have to go physical. Like a quick slap reset or something
I meant there are some situations that calls for such and for months, I have been pondering if it's right or wrong to slap a girl.

I thought it was equal right and everyone should be treated the same.
If it's not right for a guy to slap a girl, then it shouldn't be right for a girl to do likewise.

Whatever her motivation is for doing such, then the tempo should be maintained in receiving the consequence of her actions with equal grace.


This is not just on the matter being deliberated but generally. So lady, I think we have to enlarge our schema.

Ponders

Not enough data bundle
Electricity
Loss of motivation especially when you won't get certified
Finding half way that you have to pay a substantial sum for the proctored exam
Course difficulty

Chai, lemme just stay here and chop advice.
