RomancePlease, How Do I Pick Up My Life Back And Have A Purpose? by lavylilly(op): 7:56am On Aug 18, 2023
From DM
I’m a single, young and healthy man of 29 with no underlying health issues living in the east.

I graduated in 2014, with a second class upper degree. After my nysc , I tried to get into a graduate program in Nigeria cos that’s was the only thing I could apply to as my course of study isn’t really a professional one and thus not very profitable in our country.
All my efforts got no results. With my little nysc savings , I made several trips to Lagos, delta and ph for job aptitude tests and interviews but none worked out.
As a brilliant and smart person , I searched for teaching jobs in my state but couldn’t get any.

In 2017, While giving up on job searching, I attempted going for a direct entry for a second degree but I was cut off by a few marks.

Mid 2018, I was frustrated and didn’t know what to do. I started a Masters degree program, trying to further in my field with the hope of securing a lecturing job after I’m done.

While on it, i was self sponsoring myself. i was struggling to meet up with bills and payments in Sch so it was difficult for me.

I got interested in scam and was introduced by a relative. I wouldn’t say I have made so much but I’ve been a millionaire since 24, till date.
I’ve got a Camry muscle 011
A piece of land in a developing area in my city.
A Korope bus.
I live in a comfortable apartment.
Currently my closing Bank account balance is N2.6m.

I still don’t consider myself successful because most times I’m always sad because I’m not stable and can’t start a family despite all these. The problem now is that this isn’t a way of life to be proud of and I want to stop. I fear I might exhaust all I have. I do not even touch my laptop to work anymore cos I’m sad and unhappy. And pls I haven’t done any rituals of any sort.

Please, how do i pick up my life back and have a purpose? All day I sit at home doing nothing.

I am comfortable sending it to you to put out on a faceless forum and also, In all the opinions there I could pick up a few things.

negativity that comes with social media, you might not believe this, but in this present age and time, some people still avoid social media, some claimed social media is a waste of time while others say it is a threat to their security.

For Shanee Moret, her mobile phone, social media influence and her ability to think outside the box helped her secure her first job without the years of experience needed for the role.

She shared her story in a LinkedIn post. I hope her story will inspire you.

Her story below;

"I just graduated. I need a job. But I needed 2-3 years of work experience to get an entry-level job. It was so frustrating!

I didn't complain, I focused on what I had. Writing skills. A degree. A cellphone. And I knew who was hiring.

Here's what I did next...

I picked the company I wanted to work for. I did research. I called them. I told them I wanted to feature them in an article for the college.

They were open to it. We scheduled a time where I could interview the manager.

I dressed in a suit. I brought my resume and a notepad. I had a list of questions prepared.

I walked in 15 minutes early, shook her hand firmly, smiled and began the interview.

Throughout the interview, I asked questions about the company. The culture. Her vision.

I asked about student opportunity. Once the interview was over she asked if I had graduated and what my plans for work were.

"I'm currently looking."

I thought she wanted my resume so I reached in the folder and grabbed it to give to her.

But she stopped me.

"No need. You showed all the skills we are looking for. Can you start on Monday?"

That's how I got my first job.

You don't need permission to gain experience and you don't need a job to start building skills.

Think outside the box.

FamilyHow Can I Control My Sex Craving Toward My Wife by lavylilly(op): 1:33pm On Aug 16, 2023
From DM
Good morning,
I have been married to my wife for more than 10 years now and we have beautiful kids. She was the first and only woman I have ever had sex with.
Averagely, we have sex 3 times weekly and it has always been fun. I ensure that I carryout my manly responsibilities by providing for the family and trying to make everyone happy.

Few days ago, she decline my sexual advances. Later, I ask to know why she did that and she told me that I love sex too much. I was embarrassed. She sleeps nowadays in the children room or in the parlour just to avoid me though she refuses to accept that truth.

Please I wish to know ideally how many times couples here have sex with their partners weekly and how I can control my sex cravings towards her. I just wish I can stay away from having sex with her even for two months
.

Jobs/VacanciesWould You Sign An Offer Letter With An Acceptance Deadline Of 24 Hours? by lavylilly(op): 8:00am On Aug 11, 2023
Would you sign an Offer Letter with an Acceptance deadline of 24 hours?

Typically when organization sends an Offer, they expect you to sign within a stipulated deadline so they can plan for your resumption.

However, some organizations insist on putting undue pressure on candidates to quickly accept without allowing them time to thoroughly review the terms and conditions.

Beware of any Offer that has a stipulated acceptance deadline of 24 or 36 hours.

They rush you to accept such when there are certain “ fuzzy” terms or conditions.

It is unprofessional to coerce, cajole or harass candidates to accept an Offer within 24 hours.

Any organization that wants you to accept an Offer within 36/48 hours has simply not done their their homework well.

Why didn’t they start the interview process earlier to prevent the rush to sign or xxxx

Don’t be like the candidate below.

Day 1- Mr A resumed 2 weeks ago and was excited, onboarding process on- going and looking forward to working there.

Day 4 - He was at work and got called that wife had a serious medical emergency so took permission to take off and visit the hospital.

Day 5 - Got to work and went to meet designated Executive about the company’s HMO initiative.

Executive - Oh, you can’t be on the HMO until after your probationary period ends.

Mr A - This can’t be true. Why? Most organizations allow employee to be on HMO from day one.

Executive - Apologies, this is our company’s policy and we cannot change it because of you. We did this before but most employees when they leave the organization, the HMO premium paid would be a waste.
(Some HMOs now have replacement clause that you can insist to be included during your negotiation).

Mr A: I am surprised.

Executive - This is the truth, kindly check your Offer Letter.

Mr A - (He checked his email on the phone and confirmed that the clause was “HMO after Confirmation”. Why did I leave my former organization with an HMO for this?

He never planned on spending his earnings for any medical treatment for his family.

This is a benefit he had enjoyed for over 6 years. How would he cope now?

Reality dawned on him, he was quick to accept the Offer without taking his time to Review and Understand the terms.

Dear candidates, please take your time to thoroughly review any Offer.

Don’t let any organization or Hiring Managers coerce, harass and cajole you to sign an Offer within 24 hours.

What do you think happened afterwards?
