Kimhomesales:Is this still available? |
Is this a joke? God called woman a "help" meet/suitable for a man, so who's the man in this relationship? Who's helping who? Not saying you can't be caring with your partner. But demanding your husband to wash your clothes is all shades of wrong. Saying thank you is just pure courtesy and should be reciprocal. Appreciation is a love language, but it goes both ways. Does she thank you for providing the money? She should. And you should appreciate her for her contribution in the home, but not by her demanding it. The first thing a man needs in his own house is respect and this lady doesn't respect you. You need to have some serious conversations about this or start planning to part ways. |
Nigerian Football Federation should be called upon to answer for this. They don't help us and when aid comes from outside our borders, they swallow it. |
Afriifa:Check profile. |
Tim Fertitta bought his first private jet at 35. He runs the biggest chain of luxury hotels across America and on several continents. The first rule of doing business I read in his book is "Know your numbers". He said, know what it costs to run your business even to two decimal points. You must be highly accurate and intentional about your CODB otherwise you're simply running a charity in the name of doing business. |
It is poor men fighting for scraps. God abeg, when will I be going to court because of oil well? 🤲🏻 |
Afriifa:You're a data analyst? Care to share some of your work? |
I just got called "careless" by a client at 6:14 am. Here's how it goes— I went for a networking event some weeks ago where I sat next to a lady who'd link me with a client. After a few feeling-out chats and calls, she hooked me up with an academic article writing job. It was about mHSPC, PSA, and rPFS (apologies to those unfamiliar with medical terms). It came with decent pay—matter of fact, I'd already identified a decent pair of shoes I was going to reward myself with after completing the job. The data analyst hired successfully analyzed the clinical trials needed for the article. Few days later, I began writing. Chapters 1 through 3 went successfully without a hitch. But then came a little snag: I discovered Chapter 4 was missing something very important. I found there was no explicit information comparing the analysis between PSA and rPFS. They'd been analyzed separately but not directly placed against each other. Now, for context, I had a deadline breathing down my neck. Also, this was a first time client (I'll admit I was afraid of looking like an amateur). So I did the dumb thing and quietly shifted the paper's angle to match the available information. I grabbed some new references and rewrote everything from scratch in 40 frantic hours. I submitted two minutes after the agreed deadline, but I felt like a genius. The end result? Client was furious. Called my writing careless— My eyes saw red. My mind went into fight or flight mode. I chose to fight. I defended my actions. I told the client to reach out to the data analyst and make him complete his job. No dice. Now, I'm gonna have to rewrite the whole paper AGAIN or risk losing the second half of my payment and the client relationship. For the sake of my peace of mind, I decided I'll write up the missing section of the analysis under the limitations of the study, which I should have done earlier. I need to continue working on this now, but my brain is seriously revolting at the idea of doing all of that intense focus work all over again. What would you do in my place? |

The way people bash girls on this platform eh, I thank God for my babe every day. I can't help feeling that y'all attract the kind of girls you deserve. If you keep up ending up with bad people, there was something about you that attracted them. I have a few female friends and they're all solid people, through and through. |
Deep words, man. Looks like a diary. |
WriterX:Yes, we do... This is quite profound. Lots of takeaways: > If you open us once more, we'll not look for heaven. We'll look for truth. > We mocked our own prayers (really hit hard) >We built altars for those who never prayed for us. > Let us say "I love you" to the mirror without choking on doubt There's too many of them for me to write out. I have a question though; "but even broken hearts still keep time" Isn't that for clocks? Oh, and would you consider shorter poems? For attention retention. Cheers, man. You did good. |
UDUJIS:Nice poem. ![]() I stopped writing poetry since COVID, but it's good to still it's not a totally lost art. |
Write that content. Create that post. Send it out to the world. You never know who might be watching.

Short answer: yes, it does. Not advisable, though. For our ladies, the younger generation is coming up faster than you can say jack. The faster you find a man to tie yourself to, the more secure your future. I'm a guy and I play hard to get. Comman beat me, I'm in my house. |
He got the worst end of it. |
FICTION WRITING HACK: Create a story based on a challenging event you've personally lived through. Base your protagonist and storyline on this experience. You'll have better narrative flow, connect with your audience on a deeper level, and your story will feel instantly relatable to them. |
Obakoolex:Yours is a very unpopular opinion that I agree with but don't bother propagating because people can't bear the truth. Despite all the hate being peddled about women on this platform, I don't believe good ladies have finished out there. Even if you gave this so called "good ladies" to the men here, their instinct would be to spoil them and turn them into demons because of appetites these same men have developed over years of living a randy lifestyle. You truly can't eat your cake and have it. All the guys complaining of not meeting good girls have more skeletons in their cupboards than a graveyard. They've bedded multiple women throughout their life yet want to settle down with "tear rubber", untouched, unsullied. You attract your kind, plain and simple. Girls are evil o. Yes, women are wicked. They're not loyal. They'll stain your white. They'll rip you for all the money you've got. They'll give you diseases. They'll pin an unwanted pregnancy on you. But the men are right there, frolicking in the mud with them. They're just as bad as the girls they castigate when it comes to morals. |
StoryHaven: When last did you have sex? I promise I'll believe you. And I'll like to hear the funny story about yourself. I'm being honest, though. I'd like to learn. |

Dantedasz:Is the bedframe still available? |
Here's a hack you can apply to anything you do: When things get hairy — Slow. Things. Down. If your writing looks trash, getting agitated about it, speeding up your heart rate won't fix it—it would only get messier.

Optimize your profile. Get clients coming to you instead 😎

The day you stop worrying about people's thoughts and opinions of you is the day you'll start living a much better life. Do you, personally, approve? Does God approve? Does the lady approve? If you get three yeses to these questions, anyone else's approval is just extra. I'm hoping you're thinking about marriage—if she's wifable and the girl's family are not against it, then do the needful and start focusing on more salient matters. However, there's a generational difference between you guys. If you're jumping into this pool, be prepared to encounter differences in thinking. You're both at quite different stages in life. If you can't be patient enough to deal with it, kindly leave her be. |
