Romance / What's Your Advice To A Wife Of A Cheating Husband Or Vice Versa by mike4zeal(m): 11:11pm On Jan 20
I was on a live chat on tiktok, where the topic was on the particular topic of a cheating spouse. Some women living in diaspora where of the opinion that if a man cheat on them, they will as well cheat on him too. It leads to a lot of debates.

Dealing with the discovery of a cheating spouse is undoubtedly a deeply emotional and challenging experience. It's crucial to approach such situations with sensitivity, empathy, and a focus on communication and resolution.


If you find yourself navigating through the complexities of a cheating spouse, consider the following:

1. Open Communication:
Initiate an honest and open conversation with your spouse. Clearly express your feelings, concerns, and the impact of their actions on the relationship. Encourage them to share their perspective, fostering an environment of transparency.

2. Seek Understanding:
While the hurt may be profound, try to understand the underlying reasons behind the infidelity. It doesn't excuse the behavior, but comprehending the root causes may facilitate a more informed discussion about the future of the relationship.

3. Professional Guidance:
Consider seeking the assistance of a marriage counselor or therapist. Professional guidance can provide a neutral space for both parties to express their emotions, explore reasons behind the actions, and work towards rebuilding trust or making decisions about the relationship's future.

4. Self-Care:
Take care of your emotional well-being. Coping with infidelity can be emotionally draining, and prioritizing self-care is essential. Surround yourself with supportive friends or family members who can offer understanding and encouragement.

5. Decision-Making:
Reflect on your own needs, values, and the feasibility of rebuilding trust. Consider whether the relationship is worth salvaging or if it's healthier for both parties to move forward separately. Decisions about the future should be made with a clear understanding of personal boundaries and emotional well-being.

6. Establish Boundaries:
If the decision is made to work towards rebuilding the relationship, establish clear boundaries and expectations. Both partners must commit to open communication, rebuilding trust, and addressing any underlying issues that may have contributed to the infidelity.

7. Time and Patience:
Rebuilding trust takes time, and healing is a gradual process. Be patient with yourself and your spouse as you navigate the aftermath. Regularly assess the progress and communicate openly about any concerns or challenges that arise.

Remember, every situation is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Seeking the guidance of professionals and leaning on a support system can provide valuable perspectives and emotional support during this difficult time.

What advice would you give a spouse who found his or her partner cheating?

Nairaland / General / Effects Of Fuel Subsidy Removal And Lack Of Electricity On The Economy & SME by mike4zeal(m): 9:20am On Jun 02, 2023
Fuel subsidy removal and the lack of reliable electricity are critical challenges that many developing nations face, including Nigeria. This essay aims to explore the effects of these two interrelated issues on the economy and small-scale businesses. Nigeria serves as an illustrative case, given its significant dependence on fuel subsidies and the widespread impact of inadequate electricity supply. Understanding these effects is crucial for policymakers, stakeholders, and citizens to devise strategies for sustainable economic growth and support small businesses.

I. Fuel Subsidy Removal:

1. Inflationary Pressure:
The removal of fuel subsidies often leads to an immediate increase in fuel prices, which has a ripple effect on the overall economy. Higher fuel costs result in increased transportation expenses, affecting the prices of goods and services across various sectors. This inflationary pressure can erode consumers' purchasing power, reduce disposable income, and negatively impact small-scale businesses that heavily rely on price-sensitive markets.

2. Rising Production Costs:
Small-scale businesses face the brunt of increased production costs resulting from higher fuel prices. Industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and agriculture heavily depend on affordable fuel for operations. When fuel costs rise, these businesses experience heightened production expenses, reducing their profitability and competitive edge. Consequently, this may lead to downsizing, job losses, and a slowdown in economic growth.

3. Reduction in Consumer Demand:
As fuel prices rise, consumers tend to curtail their spending, particularly on non-essential items. This reduced consumer demand can have a severe impact on small-scale businesses, which are often more vulnerable to fluctuations in consumer behavior. A decline in demand translates to reduced sales, lower revenues, and potentially the closure of small businesses.

II. Lack of Electricity:

1. Impeded Business Operations:
A lack of reliable electricity supply significantly hampers small-scale businesses' productivity and operational efficiency. Many industries, such as manufacturing, retail, and hospitality, heavily rely on electricity to power machinery, maintain refrigeration, and facilitate day-to-day operations. Frequent power outages or inadequate supply disrupt production schedules, damage perishable goods, increase reliance on expensive alternative power sources, and hinder business growth.

2. Increased Operational Costs:
Small-scale businesses often resort to expensive alternatives like diesel generators or inverters to compensate for the lack of electricity supply. These alternative power sources contribute to increased operational costs, eating into profits and reducing business sustainability. Furthermore, the high cost of running generators and procuring fuel creates additional financial burdens for small-scale entrepreneurs, limiting their capacity for investment and expansion.

3. Limited Market Access:
Inadequate electricity supply impedes small-scale businesses' ability to expand and reach wider markets. Lack of power affects access to technology, hinders e-commerce capabilities, and restricts participation in global markets. This limits small businesses' potential for growth, innovation, and competitiveness, ultimately stifling economic development at both the local and national levels.

Way forward

1. Diversification of Energy Sources:
Governments should invest in diversifying energy sources, such as renewable energy technologies, to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. By promoting clean energy solutions, countries can decrease reliance on fuel subsidies, mitigate environmental impact, and improve energy accessibility for small-scale businesses.

2. Infrastructural Development:
Improving electricity infrastructure is vital to enhance power generation, transmission, and distribution capabilities. Governments should prioritize investments in power plants, grid modernization, and rural electrification initiatives. This would enhance the reliability and availability of electricity, supporting the growth of small-scale businesses and stimulating economic activities.

3. Supportive Policies:
Governments should implement policies that promote business sustainability and ease the burden of increased production costs resulting from fuel price hikes. Measures such as tax incentives, grants, and subsidies for small-scale businesses.

Pets / How Do You Think About Animals In Terms Of Their Level Of Intelligence? by mike4zeal(m): 5:02pm On Dec 28, 2022
Seriously, Animals are intelligent in the ways that they need to be.

They may not be able to do math or write essays, but they are wired to navigate their own life’s problems.

For example as illustrated in the pix below, some birds create a home with a fake room to confuse a predator:

The snake will see the room and realize his smell must have led him to the wrong place.

That simple design was brought about through the brilliance of evolution.

Animals are incredible in ways that an IQ test won’t capture. The human brain has a tremendous caloric demand. It needs tons of oxygen and burns ~20% of your daily calories (despite being only ~2–3% of your body weight). It wouldn’t be practical for other species.

Generally—a species is intelligent as it needs to be, but no moreso. Just never underestimate the intelligence of an animal because they will surprise you.

Nairaland / General / Most Annoying Types Of People by mike4zeal(m): 6:42am On Jun 30, 2022
There are some people in the world that are just plain irritating and always get on your nerves. Too bad, there is no such thing as 100% peace and we all have to deal with these horrible people that are bound to appear in our lives somehow someday. Which type of annoying people do you hate the most?

1) The Spoiled Brats
The Spoiled Brats are pampered and their parents treat them like royalty. They think the world is created just to bow under their command and they start whining like mad if things don’t go their way.

2) Bullies
Nastiest people on earth! Perhaps it’s their insecurity during childhood, they try to get security from someone else’s pain. They don’t feel bad making fun of people, instead they enjoy doing it!

3) The Smarty-Pants Wannabes
It is ok to be knowledgeable and humble but it will turn unpleasant when one behaves as if they know everything. Some even go to the extent of stubbornly distorting the facts to their own opinion.

4) The Braggarts
A fine line between Braggart and The Smarty-Pants Wannabe, but the annoying Braggarts have to constantly tell the world how great they are doing at work, how rich they are, what car they drive and how amazing their child is doing at school. Who want to know really?

5) Racists
Racist people are those who discriminate another by skin colour. Foolish and narrow-minded. We wonder who give them the right to differentiate.

6) Inconsiderate People
Here we mean people who cut queue, talk during movie, take up a few seats for their own use as well as other insensitive actions. So selfish and disgraceful! Annoying for sure!


7) The Great Pretenders
Also known as the Hypocrites, they are the worst liars who pretend to be what they are not. For example, people who pretend to be gentlemen when they have hidden agenda or people who pretend to help you when it’s not from the bottom of their hearts!

cool The Sore Losers
People who’d rather die than admit that they were wrong about something or they have failed. To the extreme, some like to pass on the blame to you to save themselves. Sore Losers!

9) The Misers
Persons who reserve wealth and spend as little money as possible. Calculative too. Don’t waste time hoping that they will treat you. Also be ready to fork out pennies for your portion. And it’s not negotiable!

10) Drama Queens
Those who habitually responds to situations in a melodramatic way. Surely the ones who love to exaggerate or become overly emotional when react to events or situations. Ahh, such a drama queen.

Pets / Re: Top 10 Most Annoying Animals In The World List (with Pictures) by mike4zeal(m): 8:06pm On Jun 29, 2022
Summary
To sum up, a lot of annoying animals on this list are insects, as you can see, and that’s not without reason. Animals that can get into our homes easily and irritate us in the smallest of ways are often the least popular ones. But it’s also not odd to have a particularly annoying dog in your neighborhood, constantly attacking anyone walking by.

In most cases, except for the hyena, these animals are harmless and they’re only a nuisance – but that doesn’t mean that this can’t escalate, which is why you should always stay away if possible.

10. Macaque Monkey
Scientific name (genus): Macaca

A lot of people find monkeys cute, but these small annoying animals are nothing of the sort. Monkeys from the Macaca genus can become very aggressive without any apparent remorse. They get like this if they even suspect that you have any food on you.

It’s possible that you’ve never heard of these monkeys, but the people of Southeast Asia, all through Japan, China and even Morocco definitely know how dangerous these monkeys can be.

They’re going to gladly attack you if they think you have any food on you, which is why people often have to fight them. They’re also often found attacking farmer markets and stealing from the stands. Because of that, this monkey is one of the most inhospitable species on this list!

9. Stink Bugs
Scientific name (family): Pentatomidae

Stink bugs are less aggressive towards humans than flies, but they’re no less of an annoying animal. These insects will gladly move into your home (free of charge) to survive the winter. If that doesn’t sound too bad, know that there can be hundreds of them around your home.

While they aren’t too interested in humans, stink bugs will often fly around with no apparent goal in mind – smacking right into you. The worst is yet to come, as their name refers to the disgusting and potent smell they emit if they feel in danger.

So, if you so much as touch a skin bug, they’re going to release this smell. This is why you should never touch them with your bare hands. Use some paper instead. The smell can’t be washed away with water and soap – the only thing that removes it is time.

Pets / Re: Top 10 Most Annoying Animals In The World List (with Pictures) by mike4zeal(m): 8:03pm On Jun 29, 2022
8. Flies
Scientific name (order): Diptera

There are probably more than a million species of flies, but they’re all as bothersome as they come. Flies deserve a special place on this list! Not only are they going to invade your home and refuse to leave until you kill them, they’re also a major threat to your hygiene.

Even though they’re so small and it’s difficult to notice – flies are very filthy animals. This isn’t a surprise though, since feces are some of their favorite foods. Because of this, flies are often carriers of disease.

They’re noisy, buzzing around your head, and they don’t give up until you slap them to death. They’re also more than willing to contaminate your food by landing on it – after which you might as well throw it away.

Possibly the worst thing about these little devils is that they spread and mate at incredible rates.

7. Seagulls
Scientific name (family): Laridae

Most people don’t think of seagulls as troublesome birds – and those people probably didn’t encounter them in their true form. For anyone living near a sea or an ocean, it’s a well-known fact that seagulls can become ferocious in a matter of seconds.

These birds won’t stop at nothing if they see a fish – even if it’s yours. It’s very common for a seagull to attack a human to try and snatch a piece of food from their hands. Having this in mind it’s not a stretch to call them an annoying animal.

Seagulls also spend a lot of time near humans, stalking us, because they know that we leave food behind. Their annoying quacks, similarly to the owl, are there essentially all the time. Also, if you live by the shore, you know that they’ll start calling before dawn strikes, waking you up with ease.

An additional danger is crashing into plane engines, potentially causing a lethal catastrophe!

6. Domestic Pigeons
Scientific name: Columba livia domestica

Pigeons are definitely some of the most aggravating animals in the world, and the reason is twofold. Firstly, we all know that pigeons have the tendency to defecate without any consideration for people walking below them.

This is usually more than enough to ruin your day, but what people don’t know is that pigeons can be dangerous too. Some vets call them “flying rodents” as they’re often carriers of disease and pests.

This doesn’t apply to pigeons that people keep home as pets, but wild pigeons that fly over our heads every day. It’s not uncommon for a pigeon to transfer a parasite or a virus to a human or another animal.

Pets / Re: Top 10 Most Annoying Animals In The World List (with Pictures) by mike4zeal(m): 7:59pm On Jun 29, 2022
5. Ants
Scientific name (family): Formicidae

There are an estimated 22 000 species of ants around the world, but they all share one quality – they’re gatherers. While admirable, ants know no boundaries when it comes to gathering things that they might eat.

These little workers aren’t afraid of coming into your house to grab some food and drag it back to their colony. Even if you drop so much as a few bread crumbs on the floor – ants are likely to show up. Because of this, exterminator interventions regarding ants aren’t uncommon.

This annoying small animal can also get into our clothes with ease and it can be very difficult to get them out!

Most ants aren’t dangerous to humans though. There are some species with toxins that are potentially dangerous for us in large doses, but those ants usually live in exotic locations.

Pets / Re: Top 10 Most Annoying Animals In The World List (with Pictures) by mike4zeal(m): 7:57pm On Jun 29, 2022
4. Mosquitoes
Scientific name (family): Culicidae

There are almost 3600 species of mosquitoes around the world, but they all deserve the title of the most annoying insect in the world. It’s also quite possible that this is the most annoying animal in the entire world too. This isn’t only for the most obvious reason.

Mosquitos are known to bite people and suck blood. This is relatively harmless for you, but that bite is going to leave an itch behind that can last for days. This is reason enough to hate them, but there’s more.

Mosquitos are also carriers of many diseases, most notably malaria, yellow fever and the West Nile virus. In their bite, they’re transferring organisms (viruses and parasites) from person to person, while they don’t show any symptoms of the illnesses themselves.

So, not only are mosquitoes annoying, but they can be very dangerous too! This is why there are vaccination protocols in place when traveling to exotic countries that have a large population of mosquitos.

Pets / Re: Top 10 Most Annoying Animals In The World List (with Pictures) by mike4zeal(m): 7:56pm On Jun 29, 2022
3. Hyenas
Scientific name (family): Hyaenidae

You’re unlikely to encounter a hyena unless you live in Africa and some places in the Middle East. There, however, they’re very common and natives know exactly why they’re annoying.

Firstly, hyenas are meat-loving vultures. They love eating animal carcasses and they’re not afraid of stalking humans. They rarely stalk people to attack them, instead, they’re going to try and steal food from hunters! Because of its persistence, the hyena is one of the most irritating animals.

Secondly, if it comes down to it, a pack of hyenas will try to attack and eat a person. This is very rare though, as they’re usually timid.

Lastly, hyenas have a very distinct, very disturbing call. It’s impossible to mistake a hyena for any other animal because of this call and it almost sounds like they’re mocking someone.

Pets / Re: Top 10 Most Annoying Animals In The World List (with Pictures) by mike4zeal(m): 7:54pm On Jun 29, 2022
2. Owls
Scientific name (order): Strigiformes

Owls are animals that many people don’t encounter at all throughout their life, but those who do know why they can be annoying. This is especially common if you live in a wooded area or at least near a forest. Owls emit a very loud, piercing hoot.

This call can be so loud it easily wakes people from sleep and it can really be the most annoying sound to put up with. Another thing is persistence – some owls hoot for hours on end. Males owls are usually louder, more persistent and their hoots are longer than female hoots.

Even though they’re a great solution for vermin and many pests, if you have an owl living in your backyard, chances are you’re going to have to call animal control. These birds are terribly loud, and the worst thing about it is that they’re nocturnal animals.

Not only are they loud and annoying, but they’re usually hooting during the night.

1. Untrained Domesticated Dog
Scientific name: Canis familiaris

Dogs are probably the most beloved animals on the planet and it’s not without reason that we call them “man’s best friend”. However, the behavior of a dog depends vastly on the behavior of their owner. Because of this, it’s not odd to see a dog that misbehaves whenever you give it a chance and they can easily become an annoying animal.

Whether it’s charging and attacking other dogs, urinating all around or even biting people, some dogs are very poorly trained. This makes living with them hell, and it’s usually all the fault of the owner, not the dog itself.

This can also take a more dangerous turn as these dogs can start behaving dangerously and start putting people and other dogs in danger. This is the exact reason why veterinarians and professional breeders keep reminding us that dog training is crucial for a dog owner!

Most people will tell you that they’re fond of animals. After all, they’re not only cute, but they’re more important for ecology than us. However, there are many species of animals that aren’t quite as lovely as your everyday horse or dog. There are some animals that instantly raise the question: “What’s the purpose of this species?”

Here are 10 of the most annoying animals in the world:

Untrained Dog
Owls
Hyenas
Mosquitos
Ants
Domestic Pigeons
Seagulls
Flies
Stink Bugs

Sports / Barcelona Claim Another Clasico Triumph Over Real Madrid by mike4zeal(m): 6:26am On Mar 23, 2022
Barcelona claimed a second Clasico victory in three days as the Blaugranes beat Real Madrid 3-1 in the Women's Champions League quarter-final first leg.

Just 48 hours after Xavi mastered a 4-0 rout at Santiago Bernabeu, the Femeni followed suit at Estadio Alfredo di Stefano; Alexia Putellas scoring twice as they came from behind to record a 40th consecutive win in all competitions.

Despite enjoying 57 per cent of the first-half possession, Barca trailed at the break after Olga Carmona struck in the eighth minute for the hosts, who also hit the post through Esther Gonzalez.

That was only the second goal the reigning champions had conceded in this season's Champions League – and first since their 5-1 rout of Arsenal in September.

But the visitors, who last suffered defeat when they were beaten 4-3 by Atletico Madrid in June 2021, responded in the 53rd minute; Putellas slotting home from 12 yards after VAR ruled that Carmona had fouled Caroline Hansen in the box.

The Blaugranes completed the turnaround nine minutes from time, Claudia Pina drilling home after the ball ricocheted kindly into the substitute's path.

Putellas then wrapped up the victory deep into stoppage time; rounding off a quickfire counter with her seventh goal in the competition - and seventh in six appearances against Madrid.

Sports / Chelsea Or Manchester City: Who Needs The Champions League More? by mike4zeal(m): 4:45am On May 29, 2021
Reaching the Champions League Final is no mean feat. Chelsea and Manchester City have both accomplished great things in reaching the pinnacle of club football, but only one team can win. Continuing the Champions League build-up, let's look at who needs this win more.

Are we going to witness a Manchester City triple?
Man City capped a brilliant domestic season by lifting the Premier League trophy at the Etihad on Sunday. They’ve already added their fourth consecutive Carabao Cup, with a comfortable win over Spurs at Wembley. Yet there is one trophy that continues to elude them.

The Premier League champions will be appearing in their first Champions League Final and have their minds set on securing a historic treble. In many ways City are a couple of cycles behind Chelsea, having been taken over by wealthy owners desperate for continental success.

The man those owners have turned to – Pep Guardiola – will make his return to an elite European final for the first time since 2011, when his Barcelona team crushed the red side of Manchester at Wembley.

For a manager widely regarded as one of the greatest ever, ten years is a long time to be away from the greatest occasion in club football.

The chance to win this competition with City clearly means a lot to Guardiola, so he’ll be hoping to maintain his 100% record in the Champions League Finals.

Could another miracle be on the cards for Chelsea?
Despite being the underdogs, Chelsea go into this game as the more experienced club. Their fans will never forget the heartbreak of Moscow, nor the elation of Munich.

Chelsea stumbled over the line in the Premier League and needed Spurs to bail them out in the end. They’ll be itching to show that they deserve their place back in Europe’s elite.

This season has huge similarities from Chelsea’s previous Champions League win – they sacked their manager halfway through the season for starters.

Roman Abramovich has never shied away from making big calls and he’ll be hoping his decision to sack club legend Frank Lampard is vindicated with a win on Saturday.

The man Lampard was replaced with – Thomas Tuchel – will have some motivation of his own. Having lost the final last year as PSG manager, he’ll be desperate to set the record straight and lift this famous trophy.

Adam Newson said He has changed the fortunes of the team since his arrival, and has a legitimate chance of lifting the trophy.

Chelsea’s players are off today. Not Thomas Tuchel. He and his coaching team will be at Cobham and drawing up their game plan to win the UCL final.


The Champions League Final will matter to both of these clubs hugely. To think otherwise would be ridiculous. However, in an elite setting such as this, it comes down to fine margins.

This game may well be won by whichever team wants it more.

Sports / Barcelona Defeat Chelsea 4 - 0 To Win The Women's Champions League by mike4zeal(m): 9:27pm On May 16, 2021
Chelsea can make UEFA Women's Champions League history tonight. No English team in the competition's current guise has ever lifted the trophy. Emma Hayes and her players can change that.

Standing in the Blues way is Barcelona. The Spanish side were beaten finalists in 2019 and will be hoping to go one step further this time around having overcome Paris Saint-Germain in the last four.

But it seems like Chelsea hope is almost been dashed cos they are already trail by 4goals to nil.

Nothing for Chelsea this night, and for Barca the ladies are saying what their men can do, they can do it much more better. Lifting the Champions League would be a boost for our dear Nigerian Oshoala.
