Thank you for your kind words. It is unfortunate that some people feel the need to be rude or sarcastic when responding to others' questions. It is possible to provide direct and honest responses while still being polite and showing empathy. I was also disappointed to see the condescending remarks made in response to the post about the TOEFL score of the poster's brother. Questions such as "How did he pass his WAEC, did he school in the village?" do not demonstrate empathy towards the poster and the situation. This behavior is more common in online forums where people can hide behind the anonymity of the internet. Nonetheless, it is important to remember that empathy and kindness are always in fashion, whether in person or online.

Why dont you do the digging and finding by yourself. Are you also mentally lazy to deploy your brain to serve you??]


Low GP and you’re looking for the easiest uni to get into?? Are your parents worth more $500k


If you say. Hi, your GPA is quite low, to get admitted, you'd need a good chunk of money since the schools that accept low GPA cost alot. Btw, make sure you or your parents have $50k for COA… that’s 10% of $500k..


This is a better way to respond to people without being condescending.

Go UK thread and see how they talk to each other

I didn't delete his number; I only changed the name. It's been close to four years now and we've both moved on. Though we rarely chat, we don't hold anything against each other. If at any point, either of us calls (very unlikely), we'd definitely pick up. C'mon it's not that deep.

What you described up there is not introversion pls. Introverts have friends (at least one or two), socialize online including WhatsApp.
It's dangerous not to have anybody you can call a friend.

Go and see a psychiatrist. You might have Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

What you’ve described is similar to what sufferers experience. Once you know the problem, there are ways around it if you’re determined.

It's not that serious, however I'm working on it. Thanks for your input.

As a man, you may encounter a number of stereotypes. Some common stereotypes of men include:

Being strong and tough
Being the breadwinner and provider for the family
Being logical and rational, rather than emotional
Being interested in sports and physical activities
Being uninterested in fashion and grooming
Being the dominant partner in a relationship

These stereotypes are not necessarily true for all men, and it's important to remember that individuals are unique and cannot be accurately represented by stereotypes. It's also important to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes, and to treat each person as an individual, rather than assuming things about them based on their gender.

It's not that hard! You're ignoring the good girls.

Twitter and cooked up stories. If you believe this, then you can believe anything.

She will feel so hurt

There's no way you would tell and she won't feel hurt. Chances are you are already showing her some signs and this hurts more. I think the earlier you tell her, the better, so she can move on and give love another chance.

I really don't understand why a lot of people suggest you ghost her and she'd pick up the signs. Adults are meant to communicate through words, not showing signs. Let her know your mind and when doing this, don't be hostile.

Let her know you are no longer interested by communicating with her verbally. Stop giving signals and wasting her time. Life goes on.

Multitasking can be beneficial for some tasks, but it can also have negative effects on productivity. It can reduce creativity, cause impulsive decisions, and lead to poor decision-making. A key way to increase productivity is to learn to prioritize tasks. If you have to do multiple things at once, make sure to build in "insurance" time, or time that is dedicated to completing one task at a time.

While multitasking is often beneficial, it can also cause mental exhaustion. This means that it takes longer to complete a task. And, because the human brain is not built for multitasking, switching from one task to another requires more brainpower. To put this into perspective, a driver chatting on his cell phone while driving might crash into a large obstacle.

According to a study from the University of London, multitasking can reduce your IQ by as much as consuming marijuana or staying up late at night. People who multitask lose their intelligence and become more prone to errors. Multitasking also decreases our emotional intelligence and brain density.

Taking breaks is another way to improve your productivity. Taking short breaks throughout the day will help you focus on each task. But, working for long hours without breaks can make it more difficult to achieve your goals. A cluttered workspace can also lead to a reduced ability to multitask effectively. In addition, studies show that multitaskers have trouble using their working and long-term memory. Even simple memory tasks become difficult for them.

I'm just wondering why it has to be derogatory names. Big head is not in that category!

advanceDNA:


U too formal....E be like say na international school wey una wey una dey go holiday for france you attend

If you grew up where u play police and thief, tęntę, open kòlò, nick names are commin among circle friends...it may sound derogatory bur its no biggie......

Only good friends call each other names and it doesnt hurt...... na love....my ex used to call me big head..... it was the first sign that made me know when something was off.

This is a trend that has been going on for a long time! Mind you, it's not limited to guys, even ladies do call themselves names all in the name of jokes. Names like "weyrey, fool, idiot, bastard" and lots more. It's common even in chats, as some of them screenshot their chats and put it on their statuses to reply. You see a long chat and all they do is call themselves all sorts of names including curses. What is it with the names calling?

I know most of them would say they don't really mean it but must you call yourselves negative names all in the name of throwing banters?
Let me hear your thoughts guys!

Addition: If you show up empty -handed, you're not permitted to leave your host empty-handed unless you don't have.

These days, people hide under the guise of relationship just to be having sex. There are people in relationships who are not having sex though they are relatively few. I wonder why it's difficult for a lot of people to abstain from sex while dating/courting.

Relationship without sex helps to build strong friendship; you both know you're there for each other and not just because of sexual benefits.

The fact that she's rubbing it at your face and always mentions the guy in your discussion is quite disrespectful. If tables were to be turned, how would she feel. If she cares about your feeling, she shouldn't be doing that or probably she has a motive for doing that.
Everything boils down to communication. Express your dissatisfaction and see if she changes.

It's good to discuss boundaries in relationships!

I'm not perfect but I won't treat you the way I wouldn't like to be treated.

"Uncrush" your crush. Move on!

Most guys I know don't like it when a lady is taller than them especially if they are developing feelings for her. They prefer a lady who is short or of average height. The surprising thing is that even the majority of tall guys prefer going for short ladies.

This begs the question, are tall ladies not attractive? Why are guys intimidated when they are with tall ladies?

You feel down, uninspired and lazy; plus at the same time angry because you’re not doing anything. You want to lift your mood and be productive but feel stuck. You might feel down because you’re tired, overworked, overwhelmed or something bad happened to you.

It’s okay and normal to feel uninspired sometimes and I think everyone goes through these phases in life. However, when they become too long, you might want to use some strategies to lift your mood and get yourself back on track.
So I was wondering how folks get to lift their spirits when they feel down. I'd like to hear your strategies.

Education is no longer valued in this country. Meanwhile to get a swimming tutor for a child, 2-3 times a week per child is between 25k-35k.

E shock me

Dijita:



if you don't see the difference in #5000 for 40hrs job and #7000 for 160hrs job. I can't help you.
I am not asking you to come and work for me full time. I am paying to coach two kids for 2 hours a day. The pay will not sustain you it is to supplement your regular income. I did similar job for about 6 months after graduation before getting regular job. I was using the money to pay transport to look for job.

It still baffles me how some people are able to give ridiculous offers to their fellow human beings. I won't type much but let's do the analysis together.
#5000(2 kids) for 40 hours
#5000/40= #125 per child.
That means you are offering #250 daily to teach 2 kids. If your place is not that close, he'd probably take transport.

Now imagine paying for transport from #250. Even without transport, I don't think it's logical for anyone to spend 2hours of his or time working for #250. Rather get yourself a good sleep or spend that 2hrs to learn a skill daily.

It's funny how lots of people always rush to comment without having anything tangible to contribute. Some have never heard of Norton here in this thread.

1. How Much Of Personal Branding Is Too Much?
In a flourishing gig economy, individuals strive to develop their personal brands to stand out from others. It takes lots of time and effort to become recognizable, but many people consciously choose this path to become influencers.


Developing your personal brand is key to monetizing your passion online. However, what does it mean for consumers like you and me?
More content.
More sign-up requests.
More annoying social media ads.
More online marathons, webinars, and conferences.
More fake experts and duplicate content all over the Internet.

2. Change In the Consumers’ Mindset
s more individuals grow their side hustles through personal brands, it gets harder for consumers to differentiate between them. Consumers gradually become pickier and less impressionable. They are more reluctant to like, share, follow and eventually buy anything from individual creators.

The indestructible myths claim side hustle is a quick way to enrichment. As a result, more individuals enter the market and cause shifts in consumers’ mindsets without realizing it.

3. The Illusion of Success
A desire to work more does not come on its own. Very often, we look at others’ lifestyles and want to replicate their success. It’s surprisingly easy to get jealous and devalue personal achievements these days. All you have to do to feel miserable is to look at your Instagram feed.

It seems everyone is successful on Instagram. Solopreneurs travel worldwide, work a few hours a day, and enjoy marvelous beaches the rest of the time. Social media is an illusion. It’s an imaginary life where you can be whoever you want. It is a never-ending comparison of one lifestyle to another.

The future of work is beyond a 9–5.
Having a single income source is risky in the modern world. I no longer rely on my employer to secure me financially. I am just an employee, like many others, and we are all replaceable. The hype around solopreneurship and location-independent living is contagious. I’ve already joined the side hustle ride, and I know I am not alone.

The future of work is beyond time-based performance. Be brave to be happy.

If you find your way to Ibeju/Lekki, I will pay you #5000 monthly for teaching my two cousins for 2 hrs. daily M- F( anytime between 4:00PM to 7:30PM5)

Another Slavemaster. What's the difference between what op posted and your offer now?
Please read your post again. #5000.?

Funny thread. Where is May 20?

Kuriosmynd:

Only God knows where one can get such babe.. especially if u dnt have job but working towards something

They might be few but they exist. Also, they might not come in the package you like.

This is my humble opinion tho.

It's quite funny when you receive the first email from someone and all you could find there is "Hi" or "Hey", "Good afternoon."
I mean do you expect to get a response with that? Email is not a chatting app like Facebook, WhatsApp, and the rest where you can get instant replies. A lot of people only open their emails especially if it's not work-related once or twice daily.

You send a hi today, the recipient opens his/her email the following day and responds with "hello". You can imagine how smooth the flow of conversation would be

Lastly, when sending emails to strangers, do not ask them to introduce themselves when you haven't.
Gracias.
