Wow... Sorry about that. I am blushing on your behalf

It was so so bad. I avoided Banex for a while after that incident.

Wasn't really a market. After the close of work one day, I had gone to Banex, Wuse 2, around 5pm to shop for an eyeliner, because mine had dried out. While leaving the shop, I observed my period had started. OMG! Not only that, I was horribly stained. I was so embarrassed, I couldn't stand from where I was seated. I couldn't risk going home in a taxi either - Apo wasn't a stone throw, and even if I tried, I was going to mess up the driver's seat. Yuck!!

I quickly did my calculations and realized my period wasn't due on that date. The owner of the shop had to send for one of those guys who sold trousers on the ground floor. I told them I needed one in black. The Igbo guy came rushing with three jeans, I quickly scanned the waist sizes and picked one that seemed like it would fit. I covered my soiled self with my hand bag and dashed to a nearby restroom. Thankfully, it fit perfectly.

To my dismay, the guy who brought the jeans told me I was going to pay 8k. 8k for what exactly? I asked him. He looked at me angrily and said he couldn't collect the pair of trousers because of "my condition" and that I didn't "price" before wearing it.

To worsen everything, he was avoiding me like a plague! He started asking "why you no come calculate yourself" and many other questions about my calendar. I was beyond embarrassed and angry. I just couldn't explain anything to a man who felt like I had committed a crime by having an early period. I told him I'd pay 6k and made a transfer because I was just TIRED of the whole scenerio.

I got home appalled at the thought of being shamed for experiencing such. That incident left me embarrassed for a long time oo. Me wey say shame well well.

Did I forget to add that the black jeans didn't last up to 2 months after 4 uses or thereabouts??

Sealing the factory is an OVERREACH and excessive reaction of shortsighted, myopic decision makers.
They should think deeply for better sanctions that does not impact production unduly.
RIP to the young man.
It is nice knowing there are young men in honest hustles like him.
May his death not be in vain.

I wouldn't be overdoing it, if I said you are the one Overreaching! There's more to this story! Real gory, sordid details about what the soap company has done and have been doing - you'd be shocked to hear an itty-bitty of them.

If you truly followed the story, you'd cry.
Rest in Peace, Richard!

Lol. Never. Run away from dogs ke? I'm never scared of dogs. Maybe it's because I have 4 dogs at home, and gave trained over 40 puppies.

Kalixx:
How you Nairalanders go lower than the maximum imaginable lows is something worthy of surprise. The way you guys polarise any event along tribal lines is shameful. But then, to go steps further to begin to embroil Nigerian tribes vis-a-vis this ongoing US-Iran war, as if they could give 2 sh*ts about our existence, is nothing short of phenomenal idiocy. Anytime I make a short online tour to Reddit, Quora etc., then revisit Nairaland, especially during the hours of their peak idiocy, its like having a bird view of the thinking pattern and rationality around the world. The difference is just clear. You guys here just taunt and jibe, and then form attache all day long, all week long, all year long...and on and on... Such comments are a dead giveaway of a perceived low IQ and some comments here just make me cringe like, "Oh Jeez, how can this be on the internet too?!" Im so ashamed.

Do you guys just take pride in surpassing previous levels of stuupidity of years gone by or what? I still fail to connect how and why Nigerians should be picking sides on this matter and then throwing jibes at another tribe (or religion). Or maybe, just maybe, I downplayed a fact that the superiority of an advanced nation can evoke idiosyncrasies and subnormal behaviour in faraway ragtag hellholes.

Wow! I want to have your baby! Such an impeccable writer. For real now, you write so well, keep it up!

Animal Intestines as condoms

Before the invention of the popular latex condoms that we hide in our wallets these days, men of old stuck the rule of "No glove, no love." To make sure that they stayed protected while having a pleasurable time with their partners, our ancestors wrapped their organs with different protective materials during intercourse.

Condoms were made from the intestines and bladders of animals such as pigs and sheep. A testament to this claim is a 400-year old pig-intestine condom found in Sweden. With this condom came a manual, which instructed users to cleanse the condom with warm milk, to avoid the spread of infections and diseases.

That's what those cheap lightening creams do. If you can't afford to use the ones the likes of Toke Makinwa and other Nollywood actresses use, it's better you stay away from bleaching.

Have you seen Toke Makinwa on ground? She looks dry and pale, quite a haughty look! It’s nothing anyone would wish for. What’s more? She douses her IG photos in filters so that her gullible fans, followers and fake friends can see her pictures and say “Goals”


Op. When you find yourself in a hole, the next best thing to do is to stop digging! Yank the cream from your regimen immediately. Start exfoliating with a cream that has exfoliants such a fruit acid peels.

What is affecting you is as a result of steroidal creams which are bandied to be “Organic and Natural”.

ELEMENTS THAT CREATE LASTING HAPPINESS AT THE WORK PLACE
We understand that every workplace should reflect professionalism, but sometimes when there is so much tension in the air, your employees might get frustrated. For your business to thrive, your employees have to be happy. When employees are happier, there is a high probability that they will be more productive. Add to that, happy workers feel comfortable while working so there is every tendency that your employees might want to stay in your organization for long.
According to a survey conducted by the CNBC, approximately 85% of American citizens are not happy at their workplace.
Real happiness fosters an environment for collaboration, making colleagues understand themselves better. Workplace happiness will also encourage members of staff to work longer in an organization. Despite the importance of happiness in a work environment, there are only few organizations where you can find workers that are genuinely happy.
If you are doing everything possible towards ensuring that your employees stay happy while carrying out their responsibilities in their workplace, there are some factors you should consider. That your workers are having fun does not signify that they are happy.
Where some employers get it all wrong is that they create fun activities to kill boredom without nipping the problem in the bud. You might decide to create fun pass times such as a beverage bar, but such will only serve as a non-permanent distraction for workers. These are some elements you should inculcate in your work culture;
The perfect fit
When it comes to having a happy work environment, the belief of having a square peg in a round hole doesn’t apply. If workers genuinely love the kind of jobs that they have been hired to do, it means they will look forward to showing up at work every morning. Some firms employ professionals who do not cherish their jobs, money can never buy likeness. To ensure that you are creating lasting happiness at work place, carry out a routine check to know if the person you are employing will love spending time while doing the work he/she has been hired to do.
Socialization
For things to run smoothly in the office, your workers have to connect with one another. Humans are built in such a way that makes thrive better when they socialize. You do not have to throw parties for your workers to get to know and understand themselves better. Oftentimes, those of us that are reclusive become more productive when we connect with our team members at work. Firms that provide avenues for healthy connections create happiness in a work environment. Connections among colleagues are formed when they are created when they socialize.
Sometimes, employees complain about not getting along with their coworker(s). You can either see such employees arguing with others, or in some occasions they feel left out. Create an environment where there is healthy competition among colleagues. When coworkers begin to see themselves as rivals, there will be so much pent up anger and negative energy in the workspace.
To encourage bonding among your workers, it is advisable to place them in teams and allow them work without pressure. Working in a stress-free environment will not only make your workers happier, but it will harness the power of team spirit.

Trust
When workers feel like they are constantly being watched, they will not be happy. Employers and employees feel happier at their workplace when they are given the liberty to express themselves without being monitored. One of the ways to do is by increasing the flexibility of work hours. For trust to be built, it has to come from both sides; the business owners and their employees.
As an employee, you should be able to work hard to gain the trust of your employers while business managers should cultivate the habit of trusting their workers. Trust is the core of employee-manager partnership, and one of the ways to create a trustworthy relationship is by communication.
Your employees will be happier when they can trust your discretion to make the best decisions when it comes to the welfare of your employees and that of your business.
Appreciation/ Respect
No man is an island. The success of your company relies heavily on the actions of your workers. If you want your employees to be happy while at work, ensure you treat that as humans. There are too unhappy employees out there who are dissatisfied about being treated without respect by their bosses.
A ten year study conducted in the United States showed that approximately 79% of employees quit their jobs because they felt they were not being appreciate at their workplace.
In the same vein, reports also show that most workers state that the best thing their managers could give to them is recognition and respect. The study further proves that most employees prefer being inspired by their bosses over having a pay raise or promotion.
Disrespect and lack of appreciation will break even the most cheerful of men. Make sure your workers stay happy always. Acknowledge a job well done by your employee, and you’ll notice that he/she will be willing to do more. Respect, appreciation and recognition goes a long way.
Failing’s one way to success
Failure is not the end of a person’s life. As humans, our minds have been programmed to be afraid of failure. We find any indicator of failure cringeworthy- the low grades at school or poor scores at test. But if you want your business to go through a phase of invention, innovation and creativity, you have to bring on board people that are not afraid to fail- this is where the need for risk takers come to play.
If as an employer, you have workers that are not scared of trying new approaches without truncating their career or destroying their employment- you are in luck. Such boldness will go a long way in boosting the growth of your company.
Work-life balance
As a manager, you have to understand the external factors that can affect your employee’s happiness. Sometimes, the cause of unhappiness might stem from physiological factors such as health status, family issues, stress, long-term goals and so much more.
When an employee is plagued with non-related work problems, it might affect his productivity at work.To ensure that your employee stays happy at all times, encourage a platform where there can be an equilibrium between work and personal life.

Passion over paychecks
It is quite understandable that the sole aim of every business is to make profits in the long run. However, if you want to stay in business for a long time with happy workers, build a brand with a solid foundation. If you put money making at the forefront of your enterprise, you will only attract workers who are out to work for money. Mind you, many career-minded individuals in their lifetime will spend approximately a third of their lifetime working. Money cannot make their time worthwhile.
When you employ people that are only after money, such workers are only excited when it’s time for their paycheck- when they have to smile to the bank. Chasing dollar bills will not make your employees happy and fulfilled- there has to be a bigger picture and goal.
For growth, you need to create a mission that your employees will want to key into. Having a clear cut mission will make everyone at work excited. When your mission is defined, you will attract individuals who have the same dreams and aspirations as you have. What’s more? When you have a goal that is greater than the love of money, the world we be a much better place.
Challenge
There’s always that one worker that is always the last in, first out. You can make your staff enjoy being in his/her work environment. Want your employees to kick boredom away while they are at work? Engage them in a challenge. When workers get challenged in their workplace, they are always motivated to do more. A boisterous workplace fosters an environment for taking up new skills and going the extra mile to see that a task is properly executed.
When employees feel like they have been stuck in one spot for years, doing the same old thing, they will feel bored and unhappy. Such workers are bound to head for the door sooner than later. AS a business manager, endeavor to always get the feedback of your workers from time to time. Getting feedbacks is the only to know how your employees are faring. From the report on the feedbacks, you’ll be able to know how to tweak things to keep boredom at bay.
Managers should ensure that they tailor challenges to meet the needs of each of their workers. Using the same method of approach to find solutions to problems will only discourage the high quality of workers than can grow your business.
To create long-lasting happiness at your workplace, it is pivotal to keep the above mentioned elements in mind. Managers should have a rapport with employees to enable them bridge any loophole that might be unhealthy for their workspace. In addition, practice daily steps that will encourage your workers to remain creative and happy at all times.

DESIGNATIONS GET FANCY IN THE START UP WORLD
A recent study shows that four out of five workers feel that workplace happiness is vital, this is why focus has been shifted to improving the well-being of workers. A happy team is a highly productive team.
One of the avant-garde waves to catch up with the 21st century is the invention of the title of “Chief Happiness Officer” in the workscape. The concept of a Chief Happiness Officer debuted at the famous Silicon Valley, USA. But before they find their way to the office environment, individuals in charge of happiness have made giant marks in countries such as Bhutan. The Bhutanese attribute their growth to one factor- happiness. Happiness is contagious and a chief happiness believes that he/she can spread happiness among her team.
Chief happiness officer is out to change the concept of “micromanagement”- most employees hate being instructed on what to do and what not to do.
Gone are the days when the notion of hiring a professional in charge of happiness was received with raised brows. Thankfully, tales of happiness managers in work places have swept America and Europe. Chief Happiness Officers motivate workers to do what makes them fulfilled within specific guidelines. He/she also ensures that employees feel respected, listened to and given the freedom to be productive.
The Chief Happiness Officer is an angel in disguise to the CEO of a company. How, you may ask? The CHO saves the manager the stress associated with hiring, training and firing. When employees are impressed with their jobs, there is a lower probability that they might want to resign.
Despite the pros that hiring a CHO brings, there is still a school of thought that believes that having a CHO is bad for your company. This school of thought believes that the concept of allowing a professional influence a worker’s happiness is invasion of privacy. What this means is that no one has the right to intrude into the employee’s private life regardless of what the goal may be- happiness in this case.
While the above anti-CHO school of thought may strike a chord, we must applaud companies who are bending backwards to make certain that their employees are happy. If you are still not convinced about why a Chief Happiness Officer might be the next best thing for your firm, we’ll walk you through reasons why they are important.
CHIEF HAPPINESS OFFICER- WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?
Quitting of jobs is at an all-time high, and this can be attributed to a number of factors. One of the reasons why workers abandon their jobs is because they are unhappy with it. Many of us who found ourselves in 9-5 jobs, have fully resigned to believe that it is normal for us to be dissatisfied with the kind of work we do. What’s worse? For those who find themselves in giant companies, it is a common belief that nothing can be done or demanded to change unhealthy working conditions.
In real life, many organizations go the extra mile to make sure their workers are happy and feel satisfied with the work they do. But like every other task in life, it is not an easy one.
There is a popular saying that goes “no one cannot make you happy’. Whoever said that has not encountered a Chief Happiness Officer. Chief happiness officer is that one person in the organization that ensures that every employee stays happy. The importance of a chief happiness can never be overstated. They are important because they give every worker the chance to maximize their work potentials.
Most brands hire happiness officer because happiness and productivity at the workplace are twins. A study carried out by researchers at the University of Warwick showed that happy workers are 12% more productive than their less happy counterparts.
One of the ways by which a Chief Happiness Officer access the wellbeing of the members of staff is by conducting surveys that measure how contended the workers are. He/ she also carries out workshops to train employees as well as rating the workplace atmosphere.
Chief Happiness Officers make sure that the equilibrium between a worker’s personal and professional life is maintained.
SKILLS POSSESSED BY THE CHIEF HAPPINESS OFFICER
• Strong listening skills
• Powerful initiative skills
• Excellent creative skills which enables them revamp the design of their workplace
• Conflict resolution

Oftentimes, people mistake chief happiness officers for HR managers. HR managers interact with the staff on a surface level while a chief happiness officer’s function goes deeper. A chief officer is a coach who does not apportion blame to workers when something is amiss. It is expected that the officer in charge of happiness checks on each and every employee, knowing how they are faring and giving them listening ears when the need arises.
The happiness officer is that channel by which the staff reports any issue they are uncomfortable with to their superiors.
WHAT COMPANIES HAVE A CHIEF HAPPINESS OFFICER?
Chief Happiness Officers are tucked in a plethora of colossal corporations, take for example Google. Though Chief Happiness Officers have become increasingly popular in large firms, the truth is they will be more helpful to startups. Here’s why; as your brand begins to grow, one of the challenges it will face will be keeping the teams motivated and ensuring that they understand each other. Most companies hit rock bottom because they are unable to identify loopholes such long-term emotional distress until it is too late.
Also, managers who hire remote teams need to have a happiness officer because your employees might need motivation as the days roll by. Members of team need someone to open up to when they hit a “block”.
WHAT DOES A CHIEF HAPPINESS OFFICER DO?
Apart from being an empath who is also passionate about the goals and aspirations of a company, a Chief Happiness Officer must be a happy person. After all, you cannot give what you have never had. In addition, a person who is to take on the role of being chief happiness officer has to be full of life and energy. However, the job comes with its challenges as people might sometimes feel you are weird for prying. It gets better.
Being a CHO does not go to say that you’ll be a jester or a barrel of laughter. There’s more to the job than big, wide grins.
These are some of the functions that happiness functions in every organization performs;
Ensuring that workers feel appreciated
One of the strengths of a CHO is to harvest the best in every employee.
Worldwide research states that approximately 44% of workers claim that they feel respected by their employer. A happiness officer is here to change the statistics. Appreciation is a pivotal element of a healthy working relationship.
Every employee is first a human, before a professional. A chief happiness goes all the way to ensure that every member of staff feels recognized and respected. He/she recognizes that workers are emotional beings, so it is only necessary to make sure that they stay happy at all times. An employee who feels valued will be willing to do more at his workplace.
Employees are always grateful when they know that someone has their best interest at heart.
Making sure that basic principles are maintained
Nothing motivates workers more than receiving their salaries as at when due. In addition, working under healthy conditions makes employees fulfilled. This is where chief happiness officers come to play. They ensure that salaries are paid early.
Give listening ears to employees
As a chief happiness officer, you are both the ear and mouthpiece of the organization. To encourage low turnover sometimes, all employees need is to be heard. The CHO is the go-between the CEO and the staff. Every worker feels happy knowing that there is someone out there who listens to them and conveys every information via the right channels.
Bringing company values to the forefront
Every company has values that binds them. Company values are the bedrock of any organization, binding your brand’s image with your company culture. Irrespective of the fact that company values are written on paper, every organization needs someone to enact these principles. A chief happiness offer is in charge of recruiting people whose values match with that of the company.
Boost growth
The goal of every startup is to grow with time. For your business to grow, you need someone who can see the bigger picture and believe in your team. The chief happiness officer is someone who believes in the growth of your employees, and he/she goes beyond to ensure that your team snags more opportunities and harness their strengths.
Takes care of workers
The CHO alleviates burden. When you have one in your workspace, you are reminded of taking a break or encouraged to look away from your computer screen.
Follow up
It is not enough to start a happiness crusade because humans are likely to fall back to negative emotional states after some time. The CHO does follow up from time to time to ensure that the private and professional wellbeing of the staff is top-notch.
