Una know that thing where your parents go dress you up wrap you in a special wrapper and snap you when you are baby. Enlarge the picture then frame it??
What if I told you that the cloth I wore in that picture I wore it till my puberty almost expired at 14??
The cloth was big then it was also elastic. So I dey grow into the cloth year in year out
And the only reason I stop wearing it was because I put it in bleach for 2 days and forgot.
My mum still wanted to break my head for wasting cloth that other children are looking for.

Wonderful!! Is it spur of the moment or can you remember it long enough to write it down??
And that 2 year ofcourse includes returning to modify some traits or plot in the past, so as to make it easy in the present for me to add certain stories.that kind of thing. J so much enjoy it..

ReactGA:
2 years dis ur own no be here. My own is to create alternate timelines to movies and given it a better (or worse ) ending

For me personally, thinking, reasoning, prediction, playing out how I want social interaction to go(it never goes as planned), how I would have liked it to go, creating historical fiction (like what if Hitler won), daydreaming (during lockdown I almost ran mad because of this. The current daydream now I and 4 if my guys have been exposed to aform of radiation that instead of killing us gave us IQ of 500 for 250 to my guys. We did not have any social awkwardness that comes with it. We are master manipulators but we are genuinely altruistic to the world. After a period of extreme wealth we were able to unify the leadership of most of the developing countries to fight against the imperial powers of NATO, because the tried to stop our growing influence....
Let me just there . That's about 2 years worth of internal monologue complete with visualization and colour. Realistic imaginative graphics. I don't need to watch movies I can make in m head

No be all ooh. I have a friend introvert like myself and we were discussing this subject and e said he does not have an inner monologue or voice. He just knows when to do things. He can only visualize numbers in his head as for reading he will look at the page and he can recognize the meaning, but he does not read in his head. And he was very serious about it.

Every living human being,talk in his or her head.Without that,how will you even know that it is time to do this or that

if Tottenham win City I will know that the god of football does not want Liverpool anywhere near champions league.
unlike some of my anfield comrades I still believe in that 4th position.

ednut1:
A theif, not appealing too, from Niger Delta who have tasted power of recent.

are they not all thieves, lol. but that's by the way...
the north infact the northwest produces a president within 6 years time frame, so what do you call that?

Savie:
There's 90 percent chance that Akpabio will be president in 2023. First, he always do everything in his power to win Buhari's heart and the support of the north. He appointed a northener in NDDC, and claim he is always fighting corruption just like Buhari. Buhari always support him in everything he do and he also have the support of many southern leaders( though they may not make it public). He is working and planning secretly for 2023. As a federal appointee, he WILL NOT make it public because his enemies might use that against him, and accuse him of embezzling public funds for his 2023 presidential ambition. You must use Number 6 when you want to do something, otherwise you will Fail woefully. He is quiet now, not loud, when it's 2023, na him voice go fill the whole country and outside country. Akpabio is a snake.!

I know Akpabio as a strategist. but a quiet one?? I doubt.
let's see what happens.

zoeA:
After all his sins are not darker or more than those that have president B4 or presently

I can never hate Akpabio after the facelift he gave uyo atleast. I can still remember the elevated self esteem of akwaibomites when Akpabio was governor.
but my people are held back by party politics

Nigeriadondie1:
A thief. Common Ministry of Niger Delta under him is a complete failure and a cesspit for massive corruption. He would never be considered.

wasn't the nddc always a cesspool of corruption?
they actually try to pin ALL the corruption on him, didn't they leave him alone after he tried to expose them?? lol

Kriss216:
When you betray and sell your kinsmen, even the buyers will never trust you again.

it is not a confrontation oohh but what exactly did this Akpabio do wrong?
for me ooh, if only annang people and my fellow akwa ibomites had opened their eyes and realized that federal politics is not state politics, Akpabio now would have been a deputy Senate president(who was agege that Akpabio cannot bully)
or at least a very respected senator SS senator that would have served as a FG link for us. but my people had their way what can I do??

lemme mention lalaticlala before dey say I did not

please I am not a political expert. but I was just thinking the other day about the fate of Akpabio now that he is in the FG.
by now even the blind can see that Nigeria, except for a last minute tactical strike, is set for a southern president.
it seems that this president will come from SE but more likely from SS, considering:
1, that the SW are moving away from their traditional allies the north and the north is hurt because of this.
2, SE and North no dey see eye to eye since '66.

Umahi, kalu, Amaechi, have all been considered, but I haven't heard any argument on Akpabio and I'm wondering why??
politicsLanders in the House what's your take?

it's unfortunate that most of the comments above did not take time to counter jega's comment (since they seem not to agree with it).
jega is right,
1. all minority ethnic groups, like ibibio(akwa ibom state), idoma( benue if am not mistaken), efik (cross river), etc will not want to loose their autonomy✓
2. Albert Einstein is credited with saying you cannot do one over and over and expect different result, we did regional government with a "peoples' Constitution'' before and it was the major catalyst of the civil war (not corruption), we should not allow nostalgia and raw ethnocentrism by majority ethnic groups lead us by that way✓
3. GEJ is right. But if we wait to controls people's minds, we may have well become communist and loose human rights. let's work with what we see✓
4. why is greater autonomy for the 36 state, national representation according to population, state (and county Police?), 100% percent control of land oil for oil-producing state so difficult to be considered, except maybe for the fact that it would hurt the elites?✓

Shortyy:
Lol.

You have sisters, tell them to help you, or if you have an elder bro or cousin bro, let him help you out.

I'll suggest men Nivea for body cream and spray, I'll suggest a little push up every morning, to get small packs, not much.

About your choice of clothes and shoes, enter the boutique, once they look at you, they'll give you what you need. If you need a stylist, I'm available, but it will cost you.

Skinny isn't bad, but try to add a little flesh. You'll do this by adding a little weight and working out at the same time.

Decorating Your room, just go online and see some room patterns for guys at your age, you'll know how to go about it.

All in all, try being yourself. You really don't have live to please anyone.

Thanks so much for the contribution.
I'll try that Nivea, as for adding weight that's impossible, I eat like a whale but highest na 60 kg top, if I slack for eating it comes down to 54. I de even fear to workout for fear of loosing the little I have. I am one of those pple that school go close resume I still de the same size no change.
I will try that press up and I have started following all this male fashion pages on Reddit and Instagram. I am also looking at minimalist and cheap room decor. Las Las thank you for your offer but I don't think I can afford you yet.

NiklauseFred:
You have a nice fashion sense.
Op if you're tall,skinny and dark.You should go with the sneakers,jean,jean/denim jack with turtleneck(white or black )depending on the color of ur 'sniks' and dark shade would do(no too big not too small)


You can never be got unsoft with denim jackets and sniks.

_{just a pic refrence}

Try going on youtube too.There's a guy their,he has great contents and i learnt alot from him.
Sorry I forgot the name of the Channel.

Omo if I wear this ragged jean come pass my palle for front, he go just look me 2 days he no fit talk, he no even understand the effrontery. Simple to fit trousers dey bring talk imagine ragged jean.
I need to invest in leather and jean jacket then, I use to think leather is for the abroad.

Lemme ask you, must I buy all this from comfam boutique or can I 'buy and brush' to standard?

NeoWanZaeed:

Abeg make una avoid anyway agbero, metal condemn, bus conductor, bike men and provision store owners dey tonight to avoid wahala and reprisal attacks.
This is one thing this different men have in common, their love for blues

Myzubby:
bro I understand that personality differs but generally speaking aside work dress people also expect you to dress smartly in your casual wears and neatness is of a great value . Am surprise that at 20 you still cant make some purchases yourself.lol. But truth be told you need to groom yourself now. Am Grateful TO GOD ALMIGHTY ANYWAY FOR MY LIFE. I CANT KEEP COUNT OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE COMPLEMENTED MY LOOK ESPECIALLY MY DRESSING . AND AM 21.

Thank for your input.

Poloyanabo2:
You got no elder ones?
I got no advice to give you cos I don't seem to understand, but I'll wait to hear from dem other elders.

No older brother ohhh and I suspect that my dad was just like this but as he get money he package.
Even till now I have never seen my dad have his own cream or perfume before na my mumsy own he dey use >:

Myzubby:
please bro start trimming your nails and hair ok
thats personal hygiene
always wear clothes that blends with your colour that makes you look smart
well all you said about yoursef is not enough to educate you on how to chose a dressing code for yourself
but one thing I do know is that neat clothes with neat hair cuts makes a man look smarter and richer

But why is all this really necessary
Can I just be rated for my intellect regardless??

Thattallgirl:
Lol you just need to abide by whatever rules or dress code of the authority you're under till you're completely through with schooling.

Questions 1&2: No idea
3. Palm slippers on casual wear or sneakers will do. I love seeing a guy on shorts (knee length), with a round neck top and a pair of sneakers. Really cute. For suits, pls and pls avoid shoes that are too pointy
4. I guess the same problem skinny girls have is the same with skinny guys - not finding clothes that suits them. They exist but not so common...you'll need to spend time in shopping. Wear the clothes u wanna buy before paying. Don't wear clothes that are too big (else you'd look like what I dunno) or clothes that are too fitted (else you'd look like broomstick)...just a little extra space between your body and the clothes. Pls don't wear skinny jeans
5. If you love how slim you are, u don't need to ditch it. Just wear the right clothes and make your stature attractive.
6. I may not answer this well but let it be more spacious, clean, have a game, less furnitures, more arts, rep a football club flag too etc
7. Me I dunno o

I'm a lady so I might not get it all right

Thanks for your contribution
Na only one time I don buy timberland like that.
Shoe dey too expensive and I don't even like sneakers or where to wear it to.
Once in a while, event like this come up and I have to turn down.
My own na shirt, trousers, covershoe.
Sneakers wahala
Shorts wahala
Cap wahala
What do you think of jewelry on men like ring and necklace??
I don't necessarily like those things but I have realized that I need them to belong and later to network

Or maybe I should rewrite in pidgin to appeal to you people?

Khayceeofficial:
You just wrote a letter to your Heavenly Father...




congrats!

What makes it unreadably??
This is not even as long as post in this no.

My questions are;
1. What brand of body spray is good for men? (I have never bought anything like this before, I just use my mom's and sisters perfume sparingly)
2. Can I continue to use my nicoderm mixed with Vaseline and soulmate?
3. Whats your advice on shoes? ( I am not doing for the girls perse but I know of peacocking and obsession of girls to shoes, shame )
4. No matter how I try my clothes are always sloppy, what can I do to look sharp in my clothes?
5. Do I need to ditch the skinny look? Can I look clothes in shirt without being buff? (I hate working out and too much muscle)
6. How can I decorate my man cave?
7. Is there any online space or PDF u read about this in practical terms.

Lalaticlala, mynd44, forano Dominique abeg move to front page or the appropriate section make I help my life abeg.

Ladies and gentlemen welcome to my first inquiry.

Like most people who write about this sort of thing on nairaland I am introvert. But I don't think it is the reason for my lack of 'proper' grooming and fashion sense.

I say proper because I love the way I am and if it was possible I would stay like this. But in this life, your society will influence you whether you like it or not. 6 months from now I will be 21 and I will no longer be forgiven for my lack of proper male grooming and fashion.

What do I mean? For one, I hate cutting my hair and the small beard I have , talkless of combing it. Picture Woke Soyinka hair and beard, segalink's hair but uncombed, and shellock Holmes' attitude to vanity. Even Nair cutting is laborious.

I have never enter market to buy clothes alone before, all my clothe are bought by mum or my sisters. I follow my dad to buy sew clothe and to buy cover shoes. I don't have and fashion taste or identity.

I am in my fourth year of medical school, ward round and call demand I dress smart and dignified for the comfort of the patient, we are now supposed to wear corporate all days of the week and cheap ties will not do.

Whether I like or not, the way I dress, groom and look in school, church and the hospital is the way I will be addressed.

Yenefer:
A Yahoo has been found murdered in a bamboo grove. So opens the best-known work from Nigeria’s undisputed master of the short story (the country’s leading literary prize is named after him, don’t ya know?). Through three conflicting witness accounts — from a woodcutter, a bounty hunter, and an old woman — the story raises the important question of subjectivity when it comes to how we perceive truth.

please is this a real novel I would like to read this
