I have plans of travelling to Ghana by road soon. I want answers from someone who travelled by road recently or is aware of how much it cost. Please how much does it cost and where can I get a bus? Thanks in advance for your favorably reply. |
How to Destroy a Relationship Before You Ever Get into One You need to know that most of what break every relationship are what individuals brought into the relationship. A relationship can hardly break if people have a great life before they come together. And you need to know what a great life entails. Today, I'll take you on a journey. There used to be a time I never wanted any form of disturbances whenever I was working. And if anyone would call me (my elder brother in this case), I would ask them for some minutes more to finish up whatever I was doing before going to meet them. It goes this way: If I am on my laptop and my elder brother summons me, I'll announce to him that I'll be available in the next five minutes, depending on whatever I am doing. On that fateful day, my brother told me... "If you're working and your wife needs your attention, or your wife isn't around and you hear your baby crying, would you ask for a few more minutes?" That discussion changed the core of my being! I saw the need to be a better person, rather than continue in the self- defeating mental enclave I've put myself in. If my elder brother didn't have that discussion with me, I'll go into marriage with the thought of "Don't disturb me while I'm working". And should I shock you? The mindset hasn't left me, even after a year in marriage. It's going gradually and I'm becoming better. And I'll tell you to check those things you hold so sacred about you. Those things that made you seek privacy unnecessarily! That's part one... Over to part two. The first day I listened to "The Myth of Singleness" by the late Myles Monroe, I told myself I could marry myself when he asked "Can you marry you?" in the course of the teaching. I said all these: I am purposeful I sleep an average of 4 hours every day I am hardworking I am jovial I am a people's person. To me, having a life that a few people love is a proof of a successful relationship. Yes? No! I lied! In reality, you can have a successful life as a single and not be able to get a relationship working. When such happens you blame it all on your partner! Unknown to you, what you've only built all your life is better called "A life for one". You are to build "a life for two", even before you are in a relationship. Here's a question: Based on your productivity level Can you marry you? Let us take this deeper... A test of a successful relationship is how well you're able to relate with your friends and family members before you ever get into a relationship. If people complain about your character, don't just shrug it off! Never think that people don't understand you but your lover will. If your life isn't working as a single person, no relationship can make it work. All of your Inhibitions as a single will join forces to victimize your relationship and could be the reason it'll break. See this again: While I was growing, I decided to start fighting every allergy I had. I wanted to make sure I could eat anything I would be offered in the nearest future. And since I wasn't sure from which tribe I would get married, I was willing to eat anything to save myself from the shame later. Today, I eat just anything! But out there are a lot of people that will say... I don't eat Plantain. I don't eat rice if not with beans. I can't eat yam if not with stew. I don't eat fish. I don't eat onions. I can't eat this. I can't do that. As harmless as those things are, it could form a bedrock of failure in your marriage. A good example: When my elder brother got married, the wife didn't like when pepper isn't well ground. She hated (with passion) seeing a seed of pepper in her food and I knew how many times that caused quarrels between her and my younger brother. Today, she eats that! She eats grated pepper. But wouldn't she have saved herself from the struggle had she learnt that before getting married? Now... To you... You have allergies, right? Try to break them! Imagine you can't sleep with the lights on and your partner can't sleep without the lights on? It will lead you both to be sleeping in different rooms until one of you will give it up! That's not healthy, you say? Since some people get married, they've been manipulating their partner to eat only what they've been used to. They would only cook (or demand for) whatever they grew up with and trash their partner's. To them, the dishes from their culture are the best. That's witchcraft in matrimony. Again.. I once never liked sleeping in the same room with anyone that would influence my moments. I loved sleeping alone and I pride myself in that. Being in the same room with another person was weariness in its prime. You know why? I wouldn't be able to do anything reasonable whenever I was with a person. Pray effectively? Study? Na! I could go days or weeks without that if I'm with someone in a room. I remember the 1st day I decided to pass the night at a friend's place back in school. He had to call another friend of ours to inform him about my decision. I guess I didn't know I would get married someday. As awesome as that lifestyle was, it was big enough to hurt me in marriage and could do the same thing to as many as are embracing the lifestyle. I guess we don't think about marriage while moulding a life for ourselves. You have to start thinking that way! Lastly... Back then, I wanted to make all the money and then spend as would wish. While doing all that, I paid no attention to my physical wellness! I could have sleepless nights because I wanted to meet a target, putting my life on the risk of being broken down. I even once would boast of sleeping just 3 hours in a day. Stupid thing! You are in a relationship and you're so consumed with your work that you have no time for your partner. To you, when you get married, everything will just work out fine. You'll have enough time because you'll have enough money. You're being unreasonable to yourself! You know why? If you have no time when you're still single, how will you have enough when you have a wife and kids? You will make the money you want to make and your wife with family members will enjoy all you've amassed when you work out life from yourself and die! I see you don't know that quality time is a love language you must speak, and you must start to speak that to your friends and family members even before you go into any relationship. Neglect that and see your house on the pathway to emotional ruins. Today, I still struggle with what I'm sharing with you on work and time with the family. I am improving, though. But I am improving the more on my sleeping time. So, for the wise, a 'WORLD' is enough. Live a balanced life. Evaluate your values. Check everything that makes you happy to know if your partner will fully fit into them. Don't plan to force your partner into your life. You could be planting a bomb for yourself. Listen to everything your immediate family members tell you about yourself. Read a lot about everything on life and love. Please. Be flexible. Be reasonable. Be simple. And you'll love it. Over to you. |

Leadership is defined as ‘the
process in which an individual
influences the group of individuals
to attain a common goal’. The goal
is attained by mutual cooperation
and cohesive behaviour. A leader
infuses a sense of positivity and
directs others to reach the
specified goal.
Various theories since years have
been formulated by psychologists
to explain the traits of a leader.
Certain traits of a good leader were
listed by the researchers as:
intelligence, extraversion, and
adjustment, openness to
experience, general self-efficacy
and conscientiousness. It has been
inferred that an individual
possessing these traits results as a
good leader.
Another theory suggests that great
events lead an ordinary individual to
emerge as a leader. Then there is a
third theory which emphasises that
leadership is a transformation or a
process. Anyone can become a
leader by learning the leadership
skills.
A leader is someone who stands
not only for his cause but takes
responsibility and motivates other
individuals also. There is a clear
difference between being a boss
and a leader. A leader is a
motivation for others and inspires
individuals to aim high and attain
that aim. However a boss only
supervises over his subordinates.
Power naturally comes to a leader
but that power is not a tool of
leader.
Rather if one tries to control the
circumstances with power it turns
out to be authoritarian or even
suppressive in its expression.
Leadership is not a quality but it is
an individual’s behaviour. A leader
showcases a positive attitude and
high self esteem. He assertively
works towards the goal but never
gets pushy for it. A continuous self
study, training, evaluation and
imbibing positive things in life
develop the characteristics of a
leader.
Situations are never in our hands
but reaction is always that we can
control. A leader not only reacts
positively but also helps other
members of the group to see the
brighter side of the picture.
It has also been noticed that only
those persons are considered as
good leaders who have gained the
trust and confidence of their
subordinates. Communication plays
a vital role in this regard. The other
thing that people respect is
knowledge.
Proficiency in subject is the main
driving force. The next factor is the
execution of idea. A leader always
executes the things effectively. He
works as a team and team welfare
is his primary goal. A leader is
looked upon by his subordinates
critically also. A man of high moral
values and integrity can only
become a good leader.
It has always been a matter of
controversy as to what makes an
individual different from others.
Some emphasise that is an innate
quality while some advocate that it
is a matter of practice only. To sum
up, leadership is a quality which is if
present naturally is welcome or
otherwise can be developed by
acquiring desired skills. |

Sometimes I can see myself running. But what am I running from? I'm running from life. It's impossible to get away. Sometimes I wish I could just close my eyes, And then things would be different. I just want to be somebody. I don't know if I can, but I'll try. I've messed up in my life more then once. But at least I'm still alive. But do I want to be? Yes . . . I do. People mess up all the time. It's no reason to just run away. If you do, your problems will wait for you. You just gotta move on. You have to except what you've done. Just can't sit and feel sorry for yourself. Life's not that bad. It's what you make it out to be. There will be good and bad times. Sometimes more bad then good. Either way it's life. I would never want to change my life. Even though I've messed up in the past. I think it made me a stronger person. So instead of running, I'll stay and take life as it is! Am I on the right path? |
Yeligray:Christ never for once commanded his followers to celebrate his birth. Only in 1Corinthians 11:24, Luke 22:19 was it written for xtians to remember his death and not his birth. Anything not found in the bible should not be a custom for true xtians Romans 15:4. |
olabinjo3:You welcome dude. Jah bless your efforts. |

Hunger is ubiquitous and everyone needs money to solve various problems. Winning big now seems to require Herculean efforts, fortunately with just a minimum of #100 stake after much time dedicated to predict my games I wish to share what I have come up with for those who loves to win. Derogatory remarks are not welcome while any interested person's can constructively criticise. 67V2HKS is the code for bet9ja lovers. |

In a generation blighted by
immorality, low self-esteem, lack
of self control, greed amongst a
few it is hard to find true love (If it
still exist). While several individuals
has been traumatised emotionally,
newly wedded couples increase as
the week pass by. Sometimes ago
our parents instructions gradually
mould our moral values, sadly such
instructions has lose its potency
and our youths fare badly. In my
own stance I wonder if happy
relationships that prelude to happy
marriage can still be built, why a
man can no longer consider himself
lucky to have a wife. |
I told you when you left me there's nothing to forgive but I've always thought you'd come back, tell me all you found was heartbreak and misery...... Jealous by Lanbrinth |

NoFavors:Oh! I see. Till then enjoy your day. |
NoFavors:Really? I like your guts. Time heals everything. |
NoFavors:Till that day ponder over what your signature might beckon to you. |
NoFavors:Where on earth do you think you come from? No rooms for insults on my platform. You can't just come out of the blues and hurl abusive words at me like you've known me somewhere before. Hey dude be warned! |
Just this? |
Please how do I comment on Nairaland? ............. I joined nairaland a few weeks ago but I've been encountering challenges commenting which make it a bit boring to me. I'm anticipating for your prompt replies. |
Martin0:Like if you came to read the comments. |
That's a lie. I saw the guy (Segun Wire) Several times this year including him performing at #DeNewAfrkanShrine where I worked looking cute and well kept. Let the sleeping dog lies. Leave this guy Zlatan or whatever alone. |
What is here are the essentials of
life.
The bare minimum, which can lead
to stress and strife.
But look beyond what seems to
make sense.
Go ahead and peek over that real
tall fence.
For what you find out there, beyond
this place
Might just bring a new-found smile
to your face.
For dreams are free, they don't
cost a dime.
If you try, you'll like it and it will
help pass the time.
See, the limits we have put on
ourselves
Are from giving in to peer pressure
and putting our dreams on a shelf.
Are you going to accept the status
quo?
Or are you going to go where no
one else goes?
Our dreams are what drive us and
bring out our best.
They're the lights that guide us
when we're put to the test.
Go ahead, dream and follow your
heart.
You might be surprised and to
others look smart.
To dream is true freedom,
expressed in our minds.
Let's see where they take us.
Maybe we will end up successful
And heroes of our time. |
Antina:I honestly do not have the intentions of telling her. I might be silly enough to ask dump ass niggas a simple question yet hurl abusive words at me without even reading the meaning to the post. I have a pretty girl and I ain't looking bad either. You guys need a bit of mediocrity then, you can constructively critisise.
