Labdi69: I have noticed this more than once. Whenever i take a lady out to a fancy restaurant, she always looks for a way to talk down on the food and make it seem she’s been to better places.
This has happened more than once and with different ladies its not a cooncidence. Mind you, these are pricy restaurants.
For someone like me, even if the food is not good, i wont even say anything especially when im not paying.
They always want to create impression that they are sophisticated with high taste for quality but if you open their belly, na groceries and floating berries full there
Brokeness: Good day nairalanders. I believe this is a great forum with lots of intelligent folks.. and that is why I have come to seek your counsel. Even though I haven't met anyone here but nairaland is like my online family
I think these are some key facts to note before you dish your advice (s). Here we go;
-I am a 23 years old male. -I am the only son and eldest in a family of 2 and my dad is late. -I am in 100 level (sponsored by my mum's relations) doing a 4 years course but sorry to say this, I don't rate school at all.. just there for the certificate (even though the course is highly rated) -I am a pump attendant on a 25k salary (night work 7PM to 6AM) with one night off in a week. -I have a nice USA used HP laptop that is laying idle in my room and my strong Tecno camon which can be used to learn some valuable skills. -Lastly, I have the zeal to learn an online skill that can be very profitable in 3 to 6 months time and would stand the test of time in a long time to come; but I don't know which, how or where to start from. I seriously need to add another source of income (online) as this my current work is exhausting coupled with my schooling. No rest at all.
Pls my elders in the house, I sincerely need your advice at this critical point in my life. I don't want to make a grave mistake of not learning an online skill and be left out in the digital word. I don't want to continue forever in paid employment. It's no fun. I want to help myself and my family. I don't want to explain tire..
Kindly feel free to ask me whatever you may need to know. I will be reading from the comments. Thanks.
You didn't tell your course, I don't know if that's deliberate. Look for online training or course related to what you are studying
2. You can also try data science, cyber security or programming
Chigozie321: I'm sure everyone here has a friend or relative that has JAPA in the last two years.
My siblings have all migrated. I'm the only one remaining in Naija. I do not intend to leave the country for some personal reasons at least for now.
At times I feel lonely and unhappy seeing that most of my loved ones have dispersed all over the world. No more going to weddings, house warming, naming, etc. together
Where I work, my closest work pals have all migrated. Even most of my church co-workers and neighbours sef don commot.
As an individual/family, how has it affected you? And how are you rebuilding your local network?
How are you making new quality relationships in the workplace, home, place of worship, etc.?
It's really affected my office romance. The moment she left, I lost interest going to work. No point staying behind after closing hour
Switinthemiddle: Happy sunday y'all, so i have this issue bothering me that i need advice on.
So me and this my guy have known for some years now and i know him as someone who has a flaw for anything under skirts.
It didnt bother me all these while cause i am nt one to judge until recently when i found out from my girlfriend that he was codedly wooing my junior sister and they just started dating.
Now the problem is i dnt knw if i should warn my sister about him and try and put a stop to the relationship or just try and give him and her a chance.
Please advice
Warn your younger sister, tell her to prepare for future heartbreak. That way, you are free of any blame in the future
falcon01: Reminds me of a fake doctor who was caught after 40 years. He has a perfect record no mistakes due to Negligence or Inexperience but was still arrested because he had no licence
Divepen1: The allure of power often makes us overlook our values. Such was the story of Jagun Jagun, the film by Femi Adebayo, featuring Lateef Adedimeji, Gbotija, as a young man who became the servant of Ogundiji, the fearsome warrior. In his quest to hold on to love interest and also gain power, he unleashes his demons and lost almost everything. Afromnia brings these top things you might have missed in the film Jagun Jagun. Some of these things were brought to the forefront by social media users and critics. Warning: Spoilers ahead!!!
1. To start with, do you know that Oba Solomon was in Jagun Jagun. Who is Oba Solomon, then watch this video!!!! He was also a King here over Aje Village (Ilu Aje).
2. Aside Ogunjimi and the kings, every other person had their head skinned (Fadon)
3. Jimi Solanke was the voice of the narrator. Now, you must have seen him in Kongi’s Harvest or Sango.
4. It’s funny how the name of Jagun’s Wife wasn’t used throughtout the movie…
5. While there might have been several notable cameos like Odunlade starting the movie and Ibrahim Chatta ending it, you might have missed Niyi Johnson (Toyin Aimaku’s ex) acting the role of soldier Odunlade Adekola sent to get the crown. Yeah! That was him.
6. One cannot overlook how the Baobab tree (Igi Oshin) tried stopping Gbotija from going to school of Warriors. Was the tree
7. It's only Kings that are not using Ogundiji as their war machine are the only ones defeated in wars (the kingdom of Aje, Iwon and others).
8. Another foreshadow was when Kitan told Gbotija that he shouldn't say 'Agemo should kill him' (this happened after he defeated Gbogunomi, and he was scared of the next test)
9. Wehinwo can be spotted giving a tired soon-to-be Ogundiji's warrior water at the entrance of the school gate. It's this same kindness that resulted in his death.
10. Gbogunmi did with the “Things Fall Apart” line “This boy calls me father, I’m not suppose to have a hand in his death”
lawrenzoo: Good day, Nairaland families. I would appreciate it if mature and responsible families in the house could enlighten me on this. My son is only 7 years and 4 months old, and I allow him and his 5 year old sister to do minor chores such as making their beds when they wake up, sweeping their rooms to some extent, taking their plates to the kitchen after eating, and brushing their teeth at night. However, there is one thing I frown upon in the house, "Sending a young guy of his age on street errands," but I discovered that my wife finds it so easy to do so.
Most times my wife would want to get simple stuff like detergent and so, she calls him which i do stop from happening most times since i am of a personal opinion that it is rather too unsafe for him and he should not be sent on an errand alone until he is at least 10years old and above.
Please i want to know if I am simply the one overreacting and too overprotective OR a child of that age should not be sent on an errand?
It's too early, restrict your wife from continue to do so
It just shows the type of people supporting penaldo, most of them are vile, I wonder if they won’t shoot Leo on sight if they are ever lucky to meet him in person. They harbor so much hatred in the heart.
Dem plenty here on NL too, I don’t understand why they have no boundaries.
It’s not a crime the little boy from Rosario dwarf una fave.
Though he lately apologized giving flimsy excuse, I hope the account get suspended.
He deleted the post but evidence dey, e choke.

The World Cup still dey pain am....no amount of Messi slandering can give Ronaldo a world Cup.
LagosPrince: Yoruba started Nollywood yet, most Yoruba actors and actresses didn't break through the English version of Nollywood from baba suwe to Mr latin down to Femi adebayo.
The Igbos gave Nollywood life and since Yoruba actors and actresses couldn't break through the English version of Nollywood probably because their english sucks, Dem kuku create Nollywood Yoruba to console themselves.
Its not about their English, its about the politics involved. Infact, some of the igbo actors English are terrible. Most of the yoruba guys with good English hid their yoruba names to break into the industry e.g Desmond Olusola Elliott .
The marketers in alaba n aba are igbos, they call the shot with their money and demand for igbo actors
DCmaverick: I've been going to church year after year, month after month, week after week and day after day but it seems all the prophetic declerations and AMENS i've been shouting is nt working. What is wrong lord? Where am i getting it wrong? what must i do?
Prayers isn't enough. Show me your faith by the WORKS you do. The Bible says WORK n PRAY.
You can't be praying for financial breakthrough without having a handiwork. He that did not work....must not eat
Jokanem: 7 THINGS YOU CAN NEVER CHANGE UNTIL YOU CHANGE YOURSELF.
1. You can never Change the way people treat you till you change the way you treat people. Matthew 7:12, So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
2. You can not change your character until you change your, friends. 1 Corinthians 15:33, Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good character.
3. You can not change what you harvest until you change what you sow. Galatians 6:7, Do not be deceived God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
4. You can not change the direction of your life until you change the driver. Exodus 23:2, Do not follow the crowd in doing wrong, your life is either driven by the crowd or by your conviction.
5. You can not change your financial situation until you Change your financial behaviour. Proverbs 21:17, Whoever loves pleasure will become poor; whoever loves wine and olive oil will never be rich.
6. You can not change me until you change yourself. Matthew 7:3, And why worry about a speck in your friend's eye when you have a log in your own?
7. You can not change the way you think until you change what you hear, read and watch. Proverbs 23:7, let the wise listen and add to their learning.
Who you listen to, determines what you learn.
What you learn, determines the information in your head.
The information in your head, determines your decisions.
And your decisions, determine your direction in life.
No 6 is a wrong interpretation. It doesn't mean I can't change you until I change myself.
I have seen bad parent raising good kids.
That passage means we should stop being hypocrite, if we are as well guilty of what we are complaining about.
Bullet01: People are scared of giving this days. There are different beggers in the town and majority of them are ritualist in disguise. One needs to be careful
The female gender is a very graceful one, and womanhood is synonymous with sweetness and illumination. The devil is aware that as a woman, you have a God-given potential to cause serious havoc to his evil kingdom and agenda - hence he is always proactive in his attempts to bring you into trouble and hinder you from becoming all God has ordained you be.
As a historian, I discovered that history always repeats itself, and it is unfortunate that many don't learn from history. All over the pages of history, from one generation to another, certain things have been utilized by the devil to cut off many ladies from their place and bring them to destruction. Like I did last week, let me summarised these things into 3, namely: 1. Glory (Pride) 2. Gold (Love for money) 3. Guys (the Opposite gender)
Let's make brief comments on each of them:
1. Glory (Pride)
Pride is very dangerous. It demotes and destroys, and you must keep guarding your heart against it. Please, never start seeing nor conduct yourself beyond what you are in a proud manner, and don't let anything good that you have (be it beauty, wealth, fame, etc.) prompt you to look down on others and treat them as trash.
Insecurities and the desire to prove a point seem to be part of the leading agencies that pump pride in many ladies. Hence, as a lady, you should humble yourself under God and be submissive to Him.
Just like I told the men, it is pride to think you own your life and that you can live life without God. It is wisdom and good humility to submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and have an intimate righteous relationship with the Holy Spirit.
2. Gold (Love for Money)
Even from ancient times, many women have yielded themselves as vessels to be plundered by the devil due to their love for money and material things. For instance, consider prostitution, which is regarded as one of the oldest professions known in the history of humankind. So you should see that a lot of women have been doing terrible things due to their lust for money.
Dear woman, don't compromise Godly standards because of money. Our Lord Jesus Christ says: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33). As a woman, when you walk with God intimately, He will bless you greatly.
Also, be diligent in whatever you do that can bring money legally and ethically. You don't have to indulge in sinful things for money to take care of yourself. You have a brain, you have talents. There are many productive skills out there that can fetch you lots of money.
Ultimately, as a lady, the wisest decision you will make is to have an intimate relationship with God, which is enough to satisfy all your needs (even your deepest emotional and physical needs). The first step is to accept Jesus as LORD and Savior. If you are yet to do this, anywhere you are, please do so now.
3. Guys (Members of the opposite gender)
Finally, just like the devil keeps sending many men to their premature graves using women, so is he using men as reliable agencies to destroy women. This is usually via sinful illicit relationships and engagements between both genders.
Always remember that God's Will for sex is that all manner of sexual pleasure should be shared only between a married man and his female wife inside the safe confines of their marriage institution. Please, don't be a mere object of pleasure for one nonsense guy somewhere.
I know many ladies keep seeing guys who only want sex coming to them, and some of these guys are luring several ladies into what is wrong.
But I can assure you that there are still lots of God-fearing men out there whom themselves are honouring God with their bodies. When I say God-fearing men, I'm talking about men who have made Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior, and are serving God in spirit and in truth. As a lady, these are the types of men you should associate with. Unlike the "bad boys" out there, a born again Christian won't regard you as a mere tool for bodily pleasure, but will even contribute to your growth in important areas. In fact, a sure way to enjoy your marriage is by marrying a genuine born again Christian, where the foundation of your home is built on Christ. Such a man, who himself is Christ's bride, will know how to please God by treating you as the queen you are meant to be
Therefore, to attract a God-fearing born again Christian, you must be a genuine child of God too (God won't give any of His true sons to just any kind of lady that will ruin his sonship). So, you must make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior and start living a life devoid of sin and iniquity. Focus on serving God in spirit and in truth, and He knows how He will connect you with a responsible God-fearing man who will ensure you have a joyful marriage
I called a friend of mine so we can go for an all night together at a church we were invited in, he was already in the vicinity so I asked where are you he said said at his pastors house and I'm like where is the pastors house then he started complaining... "abeg I nor wan go that church now before oo" then he cut call, I called this boy and he didn't pick again
I had to go to the church myself but that thing pissed me off but I couldn't call again because he's not my girlfriend that I'll start quarrelling over the phone. He came to church later but it was toll after church close I saw him, he couldn't even talk to me and I as well didn't give a damn so I left and came home
I honestly did not want to bring up something from 7 hours ago and start vexing this early morning. Already I'm very mentality stressed because I'm trying to make good use of this 4 months remaining to make my life better and get money.
We usually do these church things like sing in churches and all that but I lost interest in them, it is not want I want to do with my life at all. I want big things and going to churches everyday is not what I want for now or for my future so I stopped hanging out with them. All they do is church and girls then don't even hustle that much, they aren't bothered about making money as much as I am
This is not the first time this friend has disrespected me and my time like this but the first few times I let it slide but recently it's becoming a pattern and I'm cutting him off and this recent one he did is one obvious reason why I need to complete excommunicate him from my life because I get really annoyed when I'm disrespected but the times he does it is when I'm not close to him so I can't carry issues like I'm a girl.
What do you guys think, cutting him off is best? Because I'm already no longer hanging out with them too
How do I set clearer boundaries without getting angry? Mostly because I don't have a very good way of expressing anger it's destructive but I'm an introverted person so I do well with managing my emotions
manoflove22: my girlfriend broke up with me after catching me cheating on her with her friends, i have been begging her since weeks now, she said we can never date again.

FBS: Just from another angle. Think about this differently..do you think that he wasn't aware that there are millions of people watching with camera everywhere?
What does he gain by doing that if not celebrating with his player? Just asking.
If to say na woman kiss woman, will there be this uproar or will it be celebrated
people na wa oo.
It was spontaneous, a joyous moment when you careless about your surroundings.
He has no right to kiss her, it's called assault when you do that to the opposite gender that's not your lover
naptu2: Yeah, Gillette World of Sports was one of those omnibus sports shows.
There used to be ABC Wide World of Sports, The Champions ( "They run, they jump, etc) in the early 1980s, then George Michael Sports Machine, Gillette World of Sports and Trans World Sports (I have been trying to remember that name for a long time) in the late 1980s and 1990s.
I remembered clapperboard and Cabletel linking with carnal + and euros port before the birth of supersport
DBN 12-6pm sport show on Saturday with Deji n Calister etc was great too. That station just die like that.
Then came MBI with french leauge1....MbI too died like that
