Abeg tell them ooo!!

OP you are so on point!.. Relationships in this part of the world is entwined in intricacies and manipulations. The best option is make person enter relationship with both eyes opened and if possible seff carry magnifying glasses join put. No be only love dey make relationship work oo.

Mayour11: but next time don't be specific, this is a social platform and anything you post here can be assessed anywhere in the world.

Thanks bro, I appreciate...but how can we be objective in our criticisms and detailed analyses if we can't be specific?

The country's educational system needs a total overhaul. From the teachers training colleges to the colleges of education and finally to the universities. Go to an average College of education and see the rot there,no infrastructure,no manpower etc. I was at the Federal College of Education Abeokuta a while ago and the campus looked like a poultry farm,(no insults intended). How can one expect a student to learn under such enviroment.? Also how many public schools and even private schools have a functional Counselling Unit and a school's Guidiance Counsellor? Even those that have Guidance Counsellors force the Counsellor to take up a teaching subject which is not supposed to happen;to make matters worse the existing Guidiance Counsellors are not ready to brush up their knowledge and skills by attending seminars,workshops,and conferences.
Now to the government,how can expect the teachers to be motivated when the FG and state governments refuse to allocate the UNESCO approved benchmark for what percentage of the budget to be allocated to education which is 25%. Any country which is serious about tackling her educational deficiencies must be ready to invest in her education,not the paltry sums of 4.5%,7%,etc.
Lastly all the bodies responsible for the policies making and decisions concerning education and teachers overall engagement in the teaching profession must all be funded properly and they must all buckle up.
@ Op..looking at this issue you raised,we can go on and on discussing it but we must be real and face the facts that the issue on ground is multi-faceted,it is a part of the whole societal imbroglio in which this nation of ours is currently in.

Just finished watching a programme on BET, named According To Him and Her. One of the suggestions or should I say rules was that it is okay for someone to date his/her friends ex. This got me wondering..'does it really work that way?',especially in our part of the world?
Ladies how would you feel if your girlfriend starts dating your ex?
Guys will you be 'cool' with your ex-girlfriend going out with your dude?

I like them dark skinned..smooth and shiny. I wouldn't have to worry about buying her sunscreen,lightening cream,moisturizing cream,bla bla bla.. Adiagbon,Orì and Vasline will do just fine.

It's attributed to the either two reasons:
1. The guy has absolutely no respect/obedience for 'The Guy Code'. its so against the rules to "ask' your friend's girlfriend out;dude are you crazy or what?!! even if you guys ain't that close,that doesn't gives you the guts to try and taste her kpekus behind his back. that's not cool dude...
2. A guy who intentionally asks his friend's babe out obviously has the dude's blessing,its obvious they both 'share' whatever each dude possess.

Ghost01: If there's one thing I like about these Catholic clergymen (-and women), it is that they don't mince words. They will say it the way it is. BTW, I need 10 billion naira from ten persons.

hehehehehehe!!!! I know who you referring there,please don't refer to "daddy" like that oo..

@ OP.. Let's get real here,Sh**t happens. Be grateful that the idiot dude even opened his diseased mouth to tell you that you ain't the only one he's dating. Forget all about him and move on with your life.

gift01: Dora was never a political politician. Being in a rowdy house for a very long time is very good experience she needs. She knows the twists and turns of politics in Nigeria. Give her a chance! Abike Dabiri Erewa for Lagos 2015

I'll prefer she goes for the senate in 2015.

Nah..that's a no-no! Date my friend's ex? I no fit do that one ooo

I don't understand gals seff..It's supposed to be a "date"..where you and the guy are supposed to get to know 'each other'.. Serves you right or should I say 'You got served!'

Even in death Joan Rivers was a comedienne.. This was someone who wished she wouldn't want to die a natural death,rather 'die under the knife'..in her dying wishes she requested Meryl Streep to cry at her burial in 5 different accents,she requested her mourners who will attend her burial to accessorize their black wears so that funeral will look like a fashion show. Damn that woman is so comical.
The one that got me cracking here is where she said she wished she died "on" George Clooney's face.

"Lagos-Calabar" rail?... What about the "East-West road". We ain't hearing about that project again..

And she shows no remorse?!. No wahala @ all,I'll just smile sweetly @ her,ask her to excuse me for a while that I need to use the convenience. I'll take off from there immediately,switch off my phone and go home. Respect begets respect,so does insult begets insults. #Gbam#

OP.. he's gone,forget about him and move on with your life. Obviously he wasn't meant for because if he was,your story won't be on NL. Pick yourself up,shake off the disappointments and focus your romantic energy into doing something productive and who knows,you might get to meet your 'ideal' man sooner that you think. Best of luck in finding 'your' own true love,we all deserve 'true' love

jennylove7575: ha ha ha ha...aproko.org

Arrange the full gist give the hauz nah..
@ OP..tell your guy to pack his bag and baggages,fold his trousers abi nah jeans into knee or shorts length and RUN!! A girl who can go as far as suggesting such a barbaric act tells a lot that she is desperate and doesn't want the law of nature to take its natural course,and what happens if one manipulates the law of nature?.. #FillInTheBlanks#

Immature guys..you mean

The importance of having self-esteem is very underrated these days. The focus is so much more on the external objects that we are easily willing to compromise our own self-esteem to make others happy.

Feeling good and believing in yourself is extremely important in succeeding professionally and personally.

Here are 10 ways you can improve your self-esteem if you are struggling:

1. Focus on what you truly want.

Doing things that truly make you happy not only increases your happiness, but also your confidence levels exponentially.

2. Refuse politely.

Do not compromise your time for things that are less important in place of the things that are the most important. Learn to refuse politely without feeling guilty.

Learn to value and respect your time and others will do the same. Say no to things that are unnecessary and take up a lot of your time, energy or both.

3. Don’t feel guilty about showing someone his or her place if needed (politely of course).

Sometimes it becomes crucial to remind a certain type of person to back off. It is extremely important to stand up for yourself.

While there are some incredibly kind people in this world, there are also those who will want to take advantage of you if you let them.

Therefore, don’t feel scared to confront such people and don’t feel guilty for standing up for yourself. These sort of people need to be shown their place from time to time.

4. Don’t compromise your principles for ANYTHING (job, money or a relationship).

One thing that most of us usually go wrong with is the need to compromise our standards and principles for money, work or relationships.

While you may think you have to sacrifice something to win something, remember that sooner or later, you will end up resenting the reason for which you gave up your standards.

You are unique and your requirements to live a happy life should be met. Whatever they are, you will find someone or something that is in the same frequency as you are. Just don’t compromise your happiness to fit that someone or something in.

5. Do what you are supposed to do.

Do what you are supposed to do and do it well. Don’t focus on what others think or feel about it; rather, focus on how you feel. It may be something huge, or it may be something that is very menial in the eyes of the world, but if it brings joy and peace to you, keep doing it.

6. Be patient with life.

Don’t make stupid decisions because you cannot see the next steps. Be patient and wait for things to come to you if you have already given it your best.

Sometimes, life gives you an opportunity to do nothing and be nothing so you can be ready for the next phase in your life. Use it to rejuvenate your mind, body and soul. Sometimes, you need to empty the cup before you can fill it up again.

7. Reflect every now and then.

Reflecting on your life is a great exercise to get to know yourself better. Do it often by observing your past actions and reactions without judgment.

Don’t try to change or manipulate anything; just observe everything exactly as it is.

8. Don’t over-explain yourself.

Don’t waste your energy in trying to explain yourself more than is required. People who truly care about you won’t need it and people who need that many explanations shouldn’t be in your life.

9. Pull yourself out of an environment where you feel invisible.

Life is too short to feel unwanted in a room or in someone’s life. If you feel that you are not being acknowledged for who you are and what you do, then it’s time for a change.

10. Be smart with your time.

Be very precious with your time because it is limited. Spend it with people who make you laugh. Do things that expand your soul. Do not waste it on worry and regret. Be smart and be creative.

Self-esteem comes from knowing yourself, your needs and your passions inside and out. You have to be your own best friend before you can expect others to give you that space and respect in their life

Why can't they open an account solely for anything that has to do with choppies and basic home needs,and the wife should be in charge of the account,the man should be responsible for dropping money into the account and the wife too,at her discretion.
