Career7 Jobs Nigerian Parents May Never Ever Understand by SmathGate(op): 5:54pm On Aug 02, 2016
When Nigerian parent spends their money to send us to school, they assumes we are going to become one of the following – a doctor, a lawyer, an engineer, a banker or what have you.

Now, some professions have been added to the very short list. We now have people appreciating their children in other fields – geology, biotechnology and even entertainment – music, acting and football. After they heard Wizkid charges a million per show or that Mikel Obi’s salary per week is what they collect in a year? Why wouldn’t they agree? But still at that, there are a few jobs that not all Nigerian parents have come to admit. A lot of them have to do with the fact that they cannot brag about it to the friends or in most cases, cannot explain fully what you do.
“Kunbi is a doctor”, “Timi is a lawyer”
“My son? He works with..... sad sad........... Oya Bankole, tell your auntie what you say you do again”
Here are a few jobs Nigerian parents may not fully understand:

1. Blogger/Vloggers
Try explaining to the average Nigerian parent that you are a blogger and the reaction is one you will never forget. The ones that understand what it means will ask you how you successfully spent their money abroad and now all you do is carry make-up around their house and teach your “fans” to use it and the ones who do not will spend nights trying to figure how you sharing food preparation methods as a food blogger will bring money to the house.Image: Ora HQ

2. Developers
“So what do you do now Timi”
“I write codes and develop programs for companies”
What kind of programs really? What exactly is a program do?“I knew you shouldn’t have gone to that school. We should have invested the money instead of you to sit down all day and be pressing laptop”
“Are you sure it’s not 419 you’re doing?”


3. Photographers
“So you’ve decided what you want to do is carry a camera and be snapping people ehn?”
How will you make it? Is this what we sent you to school to do? How will you take care of us in our old age?

4. Social Media Managers/PR Executives
“So Nnanna explain exactly to your Uncle what you do for a living because I don’t understand clearly”
“Uncle, I work with social media. Facebook, Twitter and the likes”
Your dad and your uncle probably look at each other, sigh and try to understand how you work with Facebook – the same facebook they use to post about their rendezvous in the old boy’s association groupsImage: You

5. Models
Nigerian parents will never understand being a model too. Most especially about the ones from staunch Christian families
“So you want to go and show off your unclothedness to the whole world abi?
The ones that understand modeling will try to understand how that will make money over a long period of time.

6. DJ
No words. Nigerian parents will insult you for even thinking about it in the first place UNTILL THE MONEY STARTS FLOWING OF COURSE

7. Artist/Sculptor
Like make beautiful art pieces and have exhibitions. But the average Nigerian parent will say no to this.
“You better drop this hobby and pursue real life”[b][/b]

Health8 Ways You Are Unknowingly Making Yourself Unattractive by SmathGate(op): 5:20pm On Aug 02, 2016
Despite the fact that we try to be good, decent human beings, we occasionally display “less than great” behavior. Sometimes, tendencies emerge which push others away, cause aggravation, or just plain annoy those in your vicinity. No one is perfect, but if you find that you are displaying any of the bad habits listed below, you are making yourself unattractive to others without even knowing it.

1. BEING SELF-CENTERED
A lot of people are unaware that they are guilty of this behavior. A conversation begins with someone talking about their day and ends with you talking about yours. Don’t fall into the “me” trap! It is fine and dandy to want to share your awesome experiences with the rest of the world, but try to let others have the spotlight to themselves once in a while. Listen to yourself when you speak. How often do you use “I” in your conversations with others? If you find it to be quite often, you might be shifting the focus to yourself without realizing it. Bite your tongue and listen to others when they speak. Giving someone the attention they deserve is important in all types of relationships.

2. IGNORING INNER-BEAUTY/FOCUSING ON OUTER-BEAUTY
The truth is, real beauty lies within. However, not everyone understand this. Solely focusing on someone’s outward appearance and ignoring what resides within their heart is a majorly unattractive trait. For most of us, we can’t drastically change how we look on the outside. All we can do is improve ourselves on the inside and help others to understand what is really important.
3. BEING OVERLY-COMPETITIVE
News flash: not everything is a competition. In fact, overly-competitive behaviour is rather unattractive. If your friend has a fear of heights and climbs a tree, and you respond with “Oh yeah, I climbed a tree three times that height,” you are being competitive. Instead, you should be supportive in your relationships. Congratulate your friend on conquering their fears and remember to let them have their moment.

4. QUESTIONING YOUR VALUE IN THE FRIENDSHIP
You are important. Your friends are your friends because they like you and value your friendship. Constantly questioning why someone has befriended you, or why they “tolerate” or “put up with you” will only cause annoyance. Even the most patient people have a limit. If you find yourself questioning your value in the friendship, look inside and understand that you aren’t really doubting them, you are doubting you.

5. CONTROLLING THE FRIENDSHIP
Every healthy relationship is based on equality and honesty. Having complete control of every decision and having to be in charge of the relationship is unattractive, at best. Share the experience of friendship with others by inviting them into he decision-making. Ask them what they would like to do, or how they feel about something, instead of telling them. You will find a lot more people will enjoy your company when you include them in the important things.

6. LYING
Obviously no one wants to be around a dishonest person. Therefore, lying is the fastest way to become unattractive. Honesty is needed for trust, and trust is needed for a solid, stable relationship. If you want to improve your relationships, you need to be honest with yourself and others.

7. BEING RUDE OR MEAN
Every day, people have to face things dislike. There is no need to be rude about it though. Making snarky comments, or rude remarks about someone’s choice of music or their attire will push people away from you. Decent human beings tend to gravitate towards positive people, so try to make your words reflect less negativity. As a plus, you will notice your quality of life improves when your outlook improves.
8. BEING UNRELIABLE
Constantly letting people down is a very unattractive trait. When someone needs your help, and you tell them they can count on you, they should really be able to trust your words. By being unreliable, you are basically telling the other person that they aren’t important, and no one wants to be friends with someone like that. We are all important, and their time is just as valuable as yours.
I believe that these 8 unattractive behaviours can be transformed into something beautiful, despite their ugliness. Recognizing the areas within ourselves that need improvement, and then working on those areas, is paramount for growth. And a person who is concerned about the betterment of themselves is pretty darn attractive.
Nairaland General10 Explanations You Don’t Owe Anyone by SmathGate(op): 4:30pm On Jul 30, 2016
WHY DO WE FEEL THE NEED TO ALWAYS GIVE EXPLANATIONS?

Being an active member of society can fill you with all sorts of pressure and stress. Certain situations make you feel like you must respond a certain way or act in a specific manner. And yes, some people think they know what is best for you and your livelihood.
Buy an “Intelligence is sexy” t-shirt!

REGARDLESS OF ALL OF THOSE THINGS, YOU MUST REMEMBER, YOU DON’T OWE ANYONE AN EXPLANATION FOR…

1. YOUR LIVING SITUATION.

The way you live your life at home is no one’s business but your own. It doesn’t matter whether you have housemates, live alone, live unmarried with a partner, or if you still live with your ex.

2. YOUR LIFE PRIORITIES.

Dream of opening a restaurant? Want to become a pastor at your church? Have an urge to sell all of your belongings and backpack through Peru? Go for it! And remember, you never need to explain your priorities to anyone because they are your priorities, and are not there to impress people.

3. NEEDING ALONE TIME.

If you require alone time in your life, you’re not being rude, introverted, or unfriendly, despite what others might think. You just need time to be by yourself- alone. We all need time to find our center and refocus.

4. YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE.

We all go through changes with our bodies. Losing weight, gaining weight, getting a new hairstyle, growing a beard, or doing anything different with your physical appearance doesn’t require an explanation. They will just have to deal with your purple hair.

5. YOUR FOOD PREFERENCES.

Not everyone is fan of pizzas and burgers. Some folks like banana and bacon sandwiches, or they prefer spaghetti with butter instead of tomato sauce. We all have different tastes when it comes to food. If someone tries to judge you over it, don’t pay them any mind. You just go ahead an dip your french fries in your ice cream.

6. YOUR SEX LIFE.

This is a no-brainer. It is a very personal part of your life, and whether your sex life does or doesn’t exist, it’s no one’s business but your own. There will always be someone who will pass judgement on you for who you sleep with or what your sexuality is. But I’ve found, their opinion doesn’t matter.

7. YOUR CAREER OR PERSONAL LIFE CHOICES.

Go in the direction you want to go, and follow the path of your choosing. If you are a talented artist who desires working in the legal field, follow your heart. If being a lawyer is your dream, go for it. The ones who truly care for you will support your decision.

8. YOUR RELIGIOUS OR POLITICAL VIEWS.

These days, it’s easy to pick a fight- just ask someone what their political or religious affiliation is and watch the battle ensue. Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, a Catholic or a Protestant, it is your choice and yours alone, and you never need to defend your beliefs (as long as they don’t harm anyone). Of course, if someone wants to have a mature, candid discussion with you about the topic, then go for it. Exchanging ideas and viewpoints can expand the mind and is beneficial for both parties.

9. BEING SINGLE.

Regardless if you’ve been single for a week or a year, you’re probably comfortable with the decision at this point in your life. If people are pressuring you to find a date, or to get married and settle down, tell them to mind their own. Being single can be great.

10. YOUR RELATIONSHIP CHOICES.

Did your ex ask you to get back together and you said yes? Did you forgive the one that cheated on you?Did you turn down a marriage proposal? Well guess what? All of these decisions were made by you for your own set of reasons. You followed your heart and this is where you landed, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation for that.

Life can be complicated, and the people around us can either make it more difficult, or they can ease the burdens by supporting your choices. You don’t have to give explanations for everything.
