8 Things Every Man Should Know How To Do by Nobody: 10:31pm On Nov 02, 2016
1) TO KNOT TIE: Every man should know how to knot a tie. Some men find it difficult to knot tie. I have seen men walk the whole street looking for who to help them knot a tie.
It is very easy, there are many types and many online tutorials on how to knot them.

2) SHAVE: Every man should endeavor to have a personal clipper, and should also know how to shave and and also know how to get his hair cut.
Sometimes we may get busy during the weekend or forgot to shave only to wake up monday morning and realize that we didn't shave. We can simply shave before leaving for work.

3)HOW TO FIX HOME APPLIANCES: Every man should know how to fix simple home appliances such as how to change electrical sucket, light bulbs, change generator plug, assemble electric fan,hang tv, etc.

4) HOW TO HANDLE SIMPLE TOOLS: Men should learn how to handle tools like hammer, saw blade,brush.Most of the things we call artisans to fix can be fixed if we learn how to use and handle these tools. Every man should have a tool box.

5)HOW TO DRIVE: Every man should know how to drive, do not wait wait until you have your own car,learn how to drive both manual and automatic transmission cars.
This can be very useful in event of emergency.

6) PERFORM BASIC FIRST AID: You don't have to be a doctor,nurse or health practictoneer to know how to perform basic first aid.

7) PAINT A ROOM: One must not paint the whole house, most people like to repaint their house especially when they move into a new apartment. You can save cost by painting your rooms.



cool CARRY A BABY: Every man should know how to carry a baby. you can help your spouse with the baby. It is not 'a woman thing'.

no mind am.
After dry cleaning his ties, they knot it there, you need to see how careful he is not to loosen it.
One day...he loosened the favourite one and he had a meeting very early. I told him to put in his bag, his colleague would knot at work, he said they won't be there that early...blabla. I just had to stop my pretence, even asked how he wanted the knot grin. He answered.

When I was done, he looked me in the eye "you go say I no dey appreciative, but I go like know who teach you?".
I no even answer am.

Lol. Some types are more difficult to knot than others. You can start with the less difdicult types.

Don't try to memorise, practice, tie and untie several times with time you would be perfect.

What do you mean by everyman should know how to change electrical socket...Bro that was not a good suggestion...but.. anyone that wants to try it got my blessings...
Besides, your number 4 point will make handymen really happy because if you try to fix it and couldn't, it might cost more to fix than the little damage that was done...Eg plumbing work, sinks etc....My elder brother was like everyone should know how to change a flat Tyre, I was like no... I was not included in that your everyman bro...Flat tyre changing is included in my insurance that i pay monthly
cheesy

Lol, One should turn off the main switch before changing socket, it is not difficult fix thw red wire on the 'hole 'with the live/positive inscription and the negative wire on the one with -ve inscription.

One should know his limit,fix the simple ones and call the handymen for the complex ones.

You should know how to change flat tyre, what if a female friend/relative has a flat tyre and calls you to come and help her change it(assuming there is an emgergency and you are the only one handy) , what are you going to do?

Oh Bro!!! my Lady friends should have a comprehensive insurance that covers all car and road emergencies like when you have a flat tyre or ran out of fuel, they give you fuel enough to take u to petrol station...It is not really expensive .... grin They are intelligent enough to know what i can or cannot do.. the basic emergencies that they can call will be that their washing machine is broken... I will just ask them to come wash and dry it in my place...or that I should come and pick them up at the airport.. full stop.... I cannot claim superman and jeopardize their lives changing socket bro... just because I want to be a jack of all trade..I know the ones that every man should know but that socket changing is not advisable it can burn a house.. little or no cash can fix it.... Life is to easy and simple my brother....
