The word 'am sorry' is over used. It is good we've been socialized to be respectful and courteous but we've to apologize or the right reasons.
Here is the list.
Enjoy!

Your beliefs and for being passionate about it.

Your looks.

Putting yourself first.

Speaking the truth.

Backing out on something meant to benefit you.

Taking a break.

Working so much.

Setting a standard.

Not looking good.

Making wrong choices in the past.

Asking for a help.

Reminding people of things that need to be get done.

Saying NO.

Your reasons.

Staying alone.

Crying.

Throwing money at a problem instead of dealing with it yourself.

Missing a friends wedding.

Not cleaning your room.

Dressing in a particular style.

Quiting a job.

Not knowing the answers to questions.

Appearing late to seemingly useless gathering meant to benefit you.

To an accident victim.

For not being rich.

For being sorry.

Saying SORRY all the time makes it easier for people to treat you like a doormat.
Have a blessed day!

What you believe and what you don't believe are intricately connected. Sometimes it's easier to look at the things you definitely do NOT want to believe in order to find what it is that you DO want to believe. Believe the opposite of these 15 lies, and the truth will set you free!
Enjoy!

1. Five more minutes of sleep will help me.

The snooze button seems like a good idea while sleepy, but you'll get much more benefit from going to sleep earlier and not interrupting the last 30 minutes of your sleep every five minutes. In fact, the science suggests that using the snooze buttons does more harm than good.

2. I need ____ to be happy.

The only word that fits in that blank is "contentment." The idea that you need anything else isn't true.

3. All [type of people] are [attribute].

Stereotypes don't just hurt other people, they hurt the ones who make them. If you assume, for example, that all men are jerks because you know a few of them, you'll miss out on the ones who aren't.

4. I'm better or worse than other people.

We can sort people by height, income, weight, race, and favorite football team, but we're all human; we're all important and valuable. We have different attributes, abilities, and skills, but no person should be defined (for better or worse) by those alone.

5. I can't change.

Change is possible if you go about it the right way. Most people try to change everything at once, which doesn't work. Change must be done methodically: it takes time and repetition for the subconscious to process and accept it. Aim for consistency, not quantity.

6. Trying is futile.

Trying is everything! Stephen King was rejected dozens of times before he became one of the world's best-selling authors. When other authors would have stopped trying, he didn't. If you're not trying, then what are you doing? Trying is everything!

7. The world is against me.

Generally speaking, the world is neither for or against you. Remember that you teach the world how to treat you. Think again about Stephen King being rejected so many times. The world wasn't against him, it just hadn't noticed him yet. Keep trying.

8. My dreams are dead.

As long as you're alive, so are your dreams. That's the most logical way to look at it.

9. I'm too young or too old to make a difference.

If you look throughout history, you'll see that people of all ages have shaped it. Don't use age as an excuse. Use it as extra motivation, if anything.

10. If I'm not motivated, I can't take action.

Motivation doesn't precede action — it follows action. When I realized and applied this, I changed my life. I'm in the best shape of my life, I'm reading and writing daily, and I'm a best-selling author; it's all directly a result of not believing this lie anymore.

11. I'm stuck.

This isn't a lie, actually. Because if you believe it, then you'll be it. Don't believe it though, because the present moment is neutral, and an opportunity to move forward.

12. People don't like me.

It may be true that some people don't like you, but there are 7 billion of us on Earth. Find your people.

13. I'm not talented enough.

Talent isn't nearly as important as practicing. Natural talent helps, but it's hardly ever a make or break factor.

14. I want candy.

Your taste buds want candy and your brain probably wants the sugar-triggered reward. But your body wants broccoli. You only want candy on a superficial level. Deep down, you want broccoli and you want it raw. Mmm!

15. I am a victim.

It's not correct to say that you are a victim in the present moment. Maybe you were a victim, but if you're currently free, you're no longer a victim. It's best to avoid the "victim mindset." Victims have things happen to them, while non-victims are free to create their own path. No matter what has happened to you before, you can begin a new path and a new life today.

Many of us grew up in homes where feeling was a bad word. Tears were childish, anger was bad, and vulnerability was not to be shown. But more and more, our culture is beginning to understand there's value in paying attention to our feelings. Emotions used to be considered nuisances — signs of weakness associated with hormones and irrationality.
But now, even CEOs of major companies are recognizing the benefits of paying attention to your heart as well as your head. Emotionally intelligent folks have healthier relationships, manage their stress better, and are happier in their jobs than those of us who are less emotionally intelligent. Not sure where you stand?
Here are 16 signs you have an impressive EQ (Emotional Quotient).
1. You know the difference between a thought and a feeling.
You know thoughts form as phrases or sentences in your mind (e.g.I'm not good enough) and feelings form as sensations in your body (such as heartbreak, infuriation, anxiety). And you know both thoughts and feelings come and go —you don't have to do anything with them but acknowledge them with mindfulness and compassion.
2. You have a strong emotional vocabulary.
You know there's more than one description of your experience of "sad," for example. Perhaps you're disappointed. Or you're despairing. Or you're grieving. You know when you're feeling irritable or low, and you know when you're feeling empty.
3. You're not afraid of your own feelings, even difficult ones.
You make space for them rather than avoid or numb them.
4. You're not afraid of others' feelings, even difficult ones.
You create a safe space for them to be expressed rather than changing the subject or finding an excuse to get the eff outta there.
5. You're non-reactive.
Although you're aware that you're feeling something, you react intentionally rather than instinctively (e.g. You don't swear or smash stuff on the regular).
6. You have empathy for others.
You can imagine and understand the feelings they might be experiencing.
7. You're in touch with the bodily sensations you experience in response to emotion.
You recognize feelings like guilt, anxiety, heartbreak, and grief in your body.
8. You can tell easily when partner, friend, or family member is upset without them telling you.
You can read them.
9. You adjust your behaviour based on who you're with.
You've been called a social chameleon, or told you get along with everyone. You know what's socially desirable and what's not given your environment.
10. You thrive in a leadership role.
You have no problem spearheading projects or captaining teams.
11. You ask people questions about them.
You're genuinely interested in their lives and stories.
12. You know your values.
Underneath it all, you're in touch with what drives you.
13. You know the importance of listening to your heart.
You don't always go for the "logical" choice, whether it's when you're choosing a pair of shoes or choosing a partner.
14. You know how to work a room.
You thrive as a wedding or Christmas party date, even when you know no one.
15. You're able to deal with conflict.
You don't avoid it and you don't become aggressive in response to it.
16. You're not derailed from a goal by a single (or several) setback(s).
You're to dust yourself off and try again, or take a step back and go at a goal from a different angle.
Sound like you? Great.
Doesn't sound like you at all? Fear not (ahem, notice and make space for that fear). Unlike your IQ, which stays relatively stable throughout your life, you can increase your EQ over time.

Do you find at the end of a stressful day the first thing that you want to do is reach for a cold beer in the fridge or pop open that bottle of wine to unwind?
Do you find that the first thing that you get handed at every work function, family gathering, or celebration is an alcoholic drink?
I often get asked why I don’t drink alcohol. Many people see it a religious thing, or a discipline. Well, to be honest it’s none of those.
So what happens when we drink alcohol?
It severs the connection from the frontal lobe of the brain to the rear lobe of the brain, which directs our primal instincts of survival and procreation. In effect, it shuts down the activity of the pineal gland, impairing our ability to think clearly and intuitively. (This is why after three drinks we aren't even allowed to drive a car!) It also erodes the production of serotonin and oxytocin, which is why the day after drinking alcohol we feel so dreadful!
Reducing your alcohol consumption isn't easy when everyone around you at every social event is drinking. There's always a lot of pressure from our colleagues, family and friends to drink with them.
So, if you did want to cut back on drinking alcohol and not feel like a hermit for the rest of your life, here are some simple tips:
1. Fake it!
Yes, that’s right. People don't mind if you're not drinking as much as the fact you don't have something in your hand. (Don't ask me why—It's bizarre.) Sometimes it helps the situation if you accept a glass of wine and just walk around with it.
2. Arrive early, leave early.
After about two hours of drinking, most people have had 4 to 5 drinks, and their state of mind is starting to become impaired. From here on, they neither care that you are leaving nor will they remember.
3. Make your own drink.
Nearly every function has access to warm water and slices of fresh lemon. A tall glass with water and a slice of lemon generally is quite accepted at parties (it looks like gin and tonic!). When making your own drinks, avoid cold, fizzy or sweet drinks.
4. When you are organizing social events, steer clear of bars, where the only activity is drinking.
Some ideas to consider instead: restaurants, movies, plays, concerts, meditation nights, yoga raves, relaxing under a tree in a garden...be creative.
5. Let's get real about its "healthful" qualities.
Although some alcoholic drinks have antioxidants and bioflavonoids, it's not actually the alcohol itself that has these properties. It's the grape juice in the wine. So if you're looking healthy drinks, try green smoothies!
6. Find other ways to relax.
People tend to crave alcohol to help them unwind after a stressful day. Look for alternative tools for relaxation, ones that will produce more serotonin, oxytocin and help you to feel calmer. Meditation or Stillness Sessionsare a very effective tool to help replace alcohol.
7. Find the fun.
Obviously drinking alcohol can be a lot of fun! Trust me, I know…I did it for years. The question is: when the fun you are having comes with a huge karmic debt in the way of hangovers and brain impairment, how fun is it? I encourage you to do the research and see how you feel after a big night out.
So there you have some simple guidelines to help you move into a life where you drink less alcohol. It will cost you less, you'll extend the life of your brain, and feel a whole lot better for it!
What tips do you use to avoid booze?
Keep me posted!

IF A HIA

Admittedly tho regrettably true, the nature of the African culture gives little or no room for survival of its female folk outside marriage. Invariably, every young lady looks forward to marriage as tho their life depends on it. The trauma and such likes experienced this institution is devastating to say the least.

[quote author=WEIRDPC post=30140877][/quote]In as much as the routine African tradition allows that women should heavily be involved in house chores, it is still not a reason African men should get into marriage. She is supposed to be your bestie not your slave

A sincere assessment garnered through experience. You definitely have met one of these.
Enjoy!
*The Intelligent ones. Always top of the class. There is more or less nothing you can do to surpass them.

*The Dullard. Don't even bother asking them question or what was done in class cos even when they are seemingly present, they know nothing and quite frankly, are used to it.

*The Bold and Confident. These ones can intimidate you with what you probably just read. They are so sure of themselves and their answers that you keep wondering whether you are still in the same class with them. Be careful of the information they release tho!

*The Religious group. They are willing to do anything in the name of religion but inwardly, they are worse than the seemingly bad ones.

*The big girls. Practically classy. If you are not in their click, please don't go close.

*The big guys. Always ahead of others in terms of what's new. The happening spots, new games and hide outs.

*The back benchers. These ones know little or nothing about what is happening in front. They can be said to be in their own world. They can get the whole class punished by their acts.

*The fashion freak. Even when you are to be on departmental wear, they still have a way of making themselves look outstanding.

*Extreme Extroverts. Fear them. They talk without reasoning. If for anything, they will put you in trouble.

*Extreme Introverts. Fleeeeee! They are the worst of groups. You can't even read their mind.

*Everyone's friend group. Lovely and entertaining. They are worth spending time with.

*The care free ones. Just like the extroverts but worse. You see them once in one month yet their attendance is up to date.

It is every ladies' dream to get married, to be called somebody's wife(Mrs somebody) @ least in Africa; Nigeria a prototype.
Marriage however does not exist until it is WHITE. If the colour is not white and the venue not in the church please do park your loads yet.
The recent development is an eye sour. Ask a lady whose family was JUST visited by the man where she spent her holidays, she will tell you it was @ her husbands'.
The outcome of such includes:
*Appearing desperate in the eye of the man and his family.
*Loosing your self respect and esteem. Trust men, they can sooooooo deal with you.

The truth is, you must not be in marriage. If at all it should exist, it should be built on love, companionship and purpose.
Ladies, let them find you doing something wid your life. Don't wait for THEM to come before you direct your path.
Live a life of purpose.
A sincere assessment!

You want to have a sett of teeth that can make the dentist jealous?
A shining set of sparkling white teeth can make anyone appear more attractive, healthy and younger. Many people avoid smiling in public because they are self-conscious about the poor color of their teeth.

Teeth may gradually become yellow due to aging,hereditary factors,poor dental hygiene, or excessive consumption of tea, coffee, tobacco and cigarettes. In addition, high doses of antibiotics, climatic conditions, infection and improper metabolism can contribute to discoloring of teeth.
Often people seek professional treatment to remove the yellow tinge from their teeth, but such treatments take time and can be expensive. If you wish to get rid of yellow teeth, you can try some natural remedies. There are many kitchen ingredients that you can use to restore your pearly white smile.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for yellow teeth.
1. Baking Soda
Baking soda is one of the best ingredients that you can use to get rid of yellow teeth. It will help remove plaque and make your pearly whites shine.
*.Mix a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with a little toothpaste. Brush your teeth with this gritty mixture and rinse with warm water. Use it once or twice a week.
*.Alternatively, you can combine baking soda with lemon juice, white vinegar, or hydrogen peroxide.
*.You can make a whitening mouthwash by mixing one tablespoon of baking soda and one and a half teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide with one cup of cold water. Rinse with the mouthwash two or three times a day.
*.You can also scrub your teeth gently for at least two minutes with diluted baking soda. Do this twice in the first week, and then every 15 days. It is essential to note that excess use of baking soda can strip your teeth of its natural enamel.
2. Orange Peel
Cleaning your teeth with fresh orange peel on a regular basis will reduce the yellow tinge accumulated on your teeth.
1.Rub orange peel over your teeth every night before going to sleep. The vitamin C and calcium in the orange peel will combat the microorganisms throughout the night.
2.Do this for a few weeks and you will notice effective results.
If fresh orange peel is not available, you can use dried orange peel powder.
3. Strawberries
Strawberries contain a good amount of vitamin C, which helps make your teeth whiter.
*.Grind a few strawberries into a paste. Rub the paste on your teeth gently. If done twice daily for a few weeks, the yellow tinge on your teeth will vanish.
*.Another option is to mix the pulp of one strawberry with one-half teaspoon of baking soda and spread the mixture onto your teeth and let it sit for a few minutes. Rinse out your mouth and brush your teeth with toothpaste to get rid of any residue.
4. Hydrogen Peroxide
The mild bleaching effect of hydrogen peroxide can help make yellow teeth white again.
*.Rinse and gargle with a mouthwash that has hydrogen peroxide. Make sure not to swallow the hydrogen peroxide.
*.You can also make a paste of baking soda with hydrogen peroxide and gently brush your teeth with it. Later, brush your teeth with your regular toothpaste.
Use hydrogen peroxide with extra caution as it can cause irritation of the gums and make your teeth sensitive.
5. Lemon
The bleaching property present in lemonscan also help get rid of yellow discoloration. In fact, gargling with lemon juice and scrubbing your teeth with lemon peel is one of the best ways to make your teeth white again.
1.Mix together a few drops of lemon juice and some salt.
2.Apply the mixture on the stained teeth and rub the paste vigorously over your teeth and gums. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
3.Do this twice daily for about two weeks to get rid of tartar and the yellow tinge.
6. Salt
Salt is one of the fundamental dental cleansing agents that has been used for ages. It helps replenish lost mineral content in the teeth and helps revive their white color.
*.You can use common salt regularly each morning as a tooth powder instead of toothpaste. Another option is to mix common salt with charcoal and brush your teeth with it regularly.
*.You can also mix common salt with baking soda and gently rub it on your teeth.
Be extra careful using salt as it can cause damage to your gums and tooth enamel if used roughly.

7. Apples
Eating a crunchy apple can scrub your teeth like a toothbrush and make them whiter.
1.Try to eat one or two apples daily to get rid of yellow stain accumulated on your teeth.
2.Chew it thoroughly so that the acidic nature of the apple and its fiber-rich rough flesh get ample time to work on your teeth.
You can also eat other crunchy food items such as raw carrots, cucumbers and broccoli.

8. Charcoal
Charcoal is one of the best known home remedies for yellow teeth. Charcoal has a powerful crystal-based chemical that whitens teeth.
1.Mix some charcoal powder with your regular toothpaste and gently brush your teeth.
2.Do this twice daily to make your teeth sparkling white.
If you don’t have charcoal, you can use the ashes of burnt bread and burnt rosemary to make your teeth whiter.

So, what is the reason for getting married if not for the points above?

Purpose brova, PURPOSE!

Fp for irrelevant things! Nawaa...oh!
Will this change the course of the election.

You really may not be part of the MOST.
A sincere assessment.
I have always bin of the opinion that if I were a lady, I won't just marry because our culture sees no life for its ladies outside marriage. Though our culture is such that truly allows and provides for long lasting marriage, it in many ways put our ladies under pressure, as such, they succumb to just any man. Given that once out of marriage(through divorce or simple separation) getting married again is a toll order given the mind set of the typical African man, it is therefore paramount that measures should be taken to avoid regrets.
Hence, I tot it wise to gather these facts obtained through interaction why Nigerian men get into marriage:

1- I have made money syndrome. This is seen amongst young promising men who feel they should have an 'Oriaku' to spend on.

2- Am of age. Funny enof people still sponsor other people's marriage because they feel he should have a wife considering his age. Most often however, men are cajoled into marriage becos of their age and some, to avoid this would rather do the presumed needful.

3- I need a cook. After all, women's education ends in kitchen. Beware, the bulk of people in this category are wife beaters.

4- Mark of manliness. Who says marriage is synonymous with manliness

5- Financial security. If you are a lady who is established or has potentials, beware you may fall for this. Most men marry doctors, nurses, lawyers etc for what they can get financially.

6- Bear children to continue linage(if there is anything like that). What is the guarantee that you or the man is fertile enof to start producing immediately? Beware of mother-in-law sickness.

7- To curtail promiscuity. Brother, if you are promiscuous before marriage, are you sure u're gonna stop once married? Prayer and self discipline is the way out.

8- Old age security! Young wives versus old men.Still wondering why young women marry men thrice their age? Worry no more cos Nigerian men have got the answer.

Finally, marriage is an institution installed by our creator. Reasons as to entering this should be genuine and all encompassing. I there urge you to seek Him diligently for he has the answers.

A typical African man has the following bad attributes:

1-feels threatened in the presence of a competent lady

2-has a low self esteem with a disgusting ego.

3-tags himself rare when it comes feminine matters! after all the ratio of male to female is still 1:5

4-likes to sit on top of matters even when he is clueless and sooooo wrong. Keshi a typical example.

5-thinks he is wiser than the white man. See them slaving their loved ones in exchange for mirror or thinking they can survive and surpass the white man in virtually every thing.

6-rarely accepts he is wrong. Will rather give one thousand and one excuses to ascertain this claim.

7-will never believe he is at least comfortable. He is always managing perhaps for years.

8-will never accept a female leader. Who born you?

Keshi is a time bomb waiting to explode! His cluelessness is like no other. He lacks the ability to motivate and improve a team. After many years, he is still building a team, constantly inviting new players and gambling with such new faces while he's ego won't let him go for those in form. I pity the NFF and Nigerians who still adore his disrespectful ego. Learnt he will even be sent abroad for some tactical training.....! A sheer waste of resources. Let Keshi go!

It really has been a burden and a puzzle I have been struggling to solve. It probably is a problem you've experienced. How can we overcome this.

The Federal Government has described the demonstration carried out by the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA) calling for the withdrawal of the suspension of residency doctors’ training programme as hypocritical.
Government also described the said demonstration as unhealthy and uncalled for.
The doctors yesterday in Abuja protested the Federal Government’ suspension of residency training programme for doctors, which is tantamount to sack.
The doctors carrying placards called for immediate
Reacting to the protest yesterday, Permanent Secretary Ministry of Health, Mr. Linus Awute, said the demonstration was uncalled for since there is no training going on in the last one month.
Besides, Awute claimed that the doctors have been absent from work, so the Federal Government circular suspending residency training programme makes no difference.
He stressed: “The resident doctors have been on self-imposed suspension for the past one month.”
The Permanent Secretary also said it was an insult on Nigerians that the doctors would continue with the strike, while there is an emergency in the health sector, stressing that with the outbreak of Ebola, doctors in the country were expected to join hands with other health workers and government in tackling the issue.
He also noted that the trekking doctors have also received their July salaries, including all allowances despite the fact that they did not do any work in the month of July.
He stressed that the decision taken is in the interest of the health sector.
He further described the demonstration as impunity.
Awute, therefore, urged the doctors not to distract the government in its efforts towards tackling the Ebola virus.
