BusinessWhat You Do When Broke (sapa Mode) by meedoLock(op): 9:55am On Apr 30, 2023
I've been use to a certain way of reacting when I'm broke which I don't know if it's good for one's mental state. As we learn everyday from other people, this will go along way.

Now, whenever I sensed my Sapa moment is approaching or already in such state, here are my behaviours:
* I don't mingle with friends
* I will have a hunger for almost every nice food 🍲
* I overthink issues from the past
* Negative thoughts easily occupies my mind
And a whole lot of weird stuff.....
* I'm only comfortable asking my direct boss for help, not even family members
* I stay cool and humble....

But when I have little cash at hand and in bank

* I barely feel the need to eat
*most food will be boring to me
* I try try to stay around my good friends
* I will be anxious.
* I get full control of my thinking.
* positive and what have you.....



But my problem be say dis money dey quick finish. 😢

Abeg, is there anything to be done to sustain and retain cash when you have it.

Or are there things you do differently when broke to get good use of your time.
RomanceRe: Men, Why Do You Find It Hard To Post Your Girlfriend On Social Media? by meedoLock(m): 9:19pm On Apr 28, 2023
I can't even accept girl friend 'Friend Request' on Facebook. Talkless of posting her. I've done this before and after we parted ways, I had to go through stress of unfriending her.

You can easily stop getting in touch with that girl friend you no longer want to be with on other sm like WhatsApp and the rest.

A man may decide to post his woman (wife) if it makes them happy, but girl friend?...... Nah!

CrimeRe: Lagos Carpenter Jailed Seven Years For Pouring Acid On Ex- Girlfriend, lover by meedoLock(m): 1:02pm On Apr 28, 2023
This judgement does not weigh the offence committed .

If someone makes an attempt to acidify another person or the act is already perpetuated, such person is said to have committed a felony offence, hence the aftermath punishment must be severe.

any careless attitude can easily spark a fire outbreak. I can see people saying they suspect 'arson'. I mean, this is a very big and historical market, one of its kind here in Nigeria.

But I think the market is now big enough to have its own standby fire alert devices. Maybe a standby fire outbreak equipments would go a long wait to curtail time to time destruction of peoples goods.

Have you thought of these important factors to start up a family?

Can you have all of these in your partner to be?

Do you have give importance to them?

Above all, did our parents prioritize these to their marriage, yet they have the most fruitful and longer marriages of all time compare to the short lived ones we have now...

Those are my views.....

Let's have you...

Here are tests/ exams you should do before you sign your marriage certificate.

CareerBlack People Who Made Forbes' 2023 Billionaire List by meedoLock(op): 7:18am On Apr 26, 2023
Here Are The Black People Who Made Forbes’ 2023 Billionaires List
Stylerave

I t is no secret that the Black community has long been underrepresented in the field of business. However, this is slowly changing, as evidenced by the 2023 Forbes Billionaires List which was released on Tuesday, April 4, 2023. This year, there are 16 Black billionaires on the list, with a combined net worth of over $60 billion. While this is still a relatively small number compared to the overall list of 2,640 billionaires, it is a significant increase from the mere three black billionaires that were on the list in 2013.
The Tesla CEO Elon Musk has officially been eclipsed as the richest person in the world by French luxury goods entrepreneur Bernard Arnault . With a $211 billion fortune, the 74-year-old engineer tops Forbes’ list of billionaires for 2023, overtaking Musk, who was first last year and is now in second place, by $31 billion.
Among the Black Billionaires on the list are a mix of familiar names and newcomers. Jay-Z has been named one of the world’s billionaires on Forbes’ list. The rap icon and successful entrepreneur was ranked#1217as a result of his several successful endeavors, including his most recent choice to sell his stake in a liquor company. Roc Nation artist Rihanna is listed at#2020, mostly because of her Fenty Beauty brand. Her net worth is reportedly $1.4 billion this year.
Just as we have wealthier people on the list, there are people who have also fallen off the revered annual list. Ye , formerly known as Kanye West , fell off Forbes’ billionaire’s list after losing about $1.6 billion of his net worth when he lost several business deals following his antisemitic comments. Ye is not the only person to fall off the list. In fact, 254 one-time billionaires are no longer.
What is most encouraging about this trend is that it is not limited to the United States. Nigeria, for instance, is home to three of the 16 Black billionaires on the list. Aliko Dangote —the richest man in Africa—is the richest Black man in the world, with a net worth of an impressive $14.2 billion. Other African billionaires that made the list include Patrice Motsepe and Mike Adenuga .
The 2023 Forbes Billionaires List is a testament to the growing wealth and success of black people around the world. As the list continues to grow, it is clear that black people are becoming an increasingly powerful force around the globe.

Reminderz:
Women don't love men, they only use them..... this is why I'm not surprised Ronaldo refused to marry that lady she is with.. if she like make she born quadruplet for Cristiano, I don't think he will even marry her up... I even heard that Ronaldo's mum was even against him marrying... women knows what other women are capable of when it comes to their own sons.. but they will happily use another person's son... women know how ruthless and dangerous they can be..... I only pity Messi because the day Antonella will decide to switch on him, he might regret it.. well, I heard they've been together for a while before he even got famous, nevertheless she's still a woman and hypergamy doesn't care how long they've been together, that's if feminism and greed doesn't corrupt her... whether Achraf Hakim did what he did out of love for his mother or his mum's advice to him or out of logical decision due to how harsh the system is to men in the west is a question for another day...

why I love this case is that, it will only open men's eyes the more... it even gives Ronaldo more sense of fulfillment on why he shouldn't marry that woman... and other footballers will see that women don't love them, they only use them to upgrade themselves. women are mercenaries.... they don't go for a thing if they have nothing to gain from it... so don't be surprised that most divorce are initiated by women, they know what they are doing.. His mother's prayers and love protected Achraf this time, he should be more careful next time because the girl always dresses half naked and appear slutty most of the time.. I don't think she's even a Muslim sef.. he's lucky, else he would have ended the way other Men ended...

I'm so sorry for simps... a rude awakening is coming to them very soon... all weak men must suffer...
Lol. U must be a Ronaldo fan. You input some facts up there though.
RomanceWisdom Or Foolishness? by meedoLock(op): 10:25am On Apr 14, 2023
It was reported that Footballer Achraf Hakimi's wife filed for divorce and demanded half of his property.

She was however informed by court that her "Millionaire' husband owns nothing as all his property is registered under his mother's names.
Hakimi receives €1 Million from PSG monthly but 80% of that amount goes to his mother account.

My take is that, did Hakimi know or preempt this situation or is just a rational decision by him. However, some argues that the guy is stingy, well I don't see that from any angle.
