LyfeJennings:
I'm not supposed to write this but I think I would for the sake of reading.
It was 2011, I was doing masters in one of those Universities around Osun, Ogbomosho and Ilorin. It is a Federal Uni. So I met these yahoo boys in ma search for weed one day and we became soo close, I lived in their house anytime I was in town for exams so we really balled well. One morning about 5:30am, my guy woke me up to leave the house that he had a premonition one Alhaji was coming. Na so I tear race, wear ma cloth, took a kitchen knife and dashed out of the house. Before I came back, Alhaji has arrested 4 boys and 5 cars...
He took them all to Ibadan. U can guess how much those guys were bailed. Each person paid 800k and the cars were bailed for 500k...
Its so pathetic this man died that way but he was a very cruel and heartless man
I guess this shit happened in Ife? Cos my roommate during my undergraduate days also got roped into a shit like this

Career15 Hard Lessons Everyone Should Learn In Their 20s by sparkleboy(op):
Your 20s are a time of rapid transitions.

As you get used to the responsibilities that come with developing the foundation for a career and sustainable lifestyle, you'll inevitably make mistakes, some of which could have major consequences.

No advice can replace these experiences, but some insight from those who've already been through it can help you become more aware and lessen the sting of growing pains.

1. Your worldview may be seriously flawed.


It's natural to feel as if you have a solid life philosophy figured out by the time you graduate college, but you will most likely redefine how you see relationships, politics, your career, and anything else you can think of. As Rachel Laine puts it, "[Y]ou discover everything that you thought you had all figured out was tragically wrong, laughably confused, or utterly delusional."

2. Life is hard, and it never gets much easier.

As your responsibilities begin to pile up in your 20s, you'll realize that just getting by — let alone becoming very successful — requires a lot of work. And there will always be failures and setbacks.

"You will fail in life, over and over and over. It won't feel fair. Maybe for decades. You've got to keep moving forward. Keep going," Perkins says.

3. You must keep learning if you want to be successful.

Your education is far from over after you leave a classroom for the last time. Dedicate yourself to learning things that will help you in your career, including "the abilities to assimilate, communicate, and persuade," Rich Tatum says.


4. Meaningful relationships are difficult to maintain.

If and when you decide to consider marriage or at least a serious romantic relationship, you're going to realize that it requires plenty of sacrifices and work. You'll realize the same goes for your closest friends, who will also be changing as you grow older. But these relationships are more important to your happiness and fulfillment than anything else in your life, says Tatum.

As you go through your 20s, you'll naturally start to drift away from some of your friends. Gone are the days of partying with a room full of your buddies, Bhatt says. You will realize, though, that the friends you put the effort into staying in touch with are the ones who mean the most to you.

5. People will resent you if you try to always be right.

"Let go of having to be right about things — this isn't a contest," Perkins says. "It's not a game. You don't win at life. So say, 'Thanks for your perspective. I'll think about that,' or, 'I was wrong. I'm sorry.'"

6. You are replaceable at work.

Many companies like to portray themselves as families, but at the end of the day that's just semantics. If your company can no longer afford you or thinks it can invest more wisely in someone else, you'll be cut from that family pretty easily.

"The company does not love you. It has no heart," Tatum says.Many companies like to portray themselves as families, but at the end of the day that's just semantics. If your company can no longer afford you or thinks it can invest more wisely in someone else, you'll be cut from that family pretty easily.

"The company does not love you. It has no heart," Tatum says.

7. You don't have forever to find and pursue your passion.

The money you make from your job will mean nothing if you're not actually enjoying life, Tatum says.

If you pursue a career solely for a big check and set aside the things you love to pursue later, you'll find it becomes significantly harder to change careers or dedicate yourself to a passion project the older you get.


8. You're not entitled to anything

It's necessary to be humble, Tatum says, especially about advantages you may have received through sheer luck. And never think that just because you put in work for things like degrees from elite universities that they guarantee you privileges in life.

Be grateful for what you have, and realize that in a single moment you can lose the things you take for granted.

9. Picking fights and holding grudges will make you miserable.

"Avoid fights. Seriously. Avoid them like a plague: Nobody wins in a fight, even if you walk away unscathed," Tatum writes.

Accept apologies, and apologize when you make a mistake. Don't fill your life with negativity.

10. Decisions that take a few seconds to make can have long-term ramifications.

Never make a decision on an emotional impulse. "[S]tupid decisions made in the moment can rob you of years of joy and happiness," Tatum writes.Never make a decision on an emotional impulse. "[S]tupid decisions made in the moment can rob you of years of joy and happiness," Tatum writes.


11. Money is hard to earn

When your family is supporting you, it can be difficult to grasp how much a Naira is worth, even if you aren't spoiled, Rahul Bhatt says.

As you start living on your own, however, you'll soon realize that frivolous things you would normally not give a second thought about purchasing are not worth the hours of work equivalent to the price tag.

12. Hard work isn't always recognized.

your boss may not always notice your contributions, Bhatt says.

Do not let that be an excuse to become lazy, and don't protest if someone else gets credit for your work.

13. Debt will haunt you, If you spend recklessly.

Because lots of young professional have huge debts doesn't mean that it's cool
And at some point in your 20s you're probably going to get a credit card — use it wisely. "Realize that you will end up paying double, maybe more, for that round of drinks at the bar because you put it on credit instead of saving the cash," Thea Pilarczyk says.
Prioritize your spending to get rid of debts as quickly as you are able to


14. There is always someone "better" than you.

going to be people who are smarter, better looking, more sociable, and just all around 'better' than you. ... To be happy, then, you have to learn to accept yourself and your shortcomings," Brandon Chu says.

Pursue success on your own terms, not by living someone else's life or forever living in the shadow of someone else.

15. You'll never have it "all sorted out."

"Remember when you thought you'd have it all sorted out by 30?" Chu asks. You'll realize how silly that is as your 30th birthday draws closer. The truth is, you'll become wiser with age, but you'll always question your decisions.

Being an adult is more a matter of heightened expectations than any tangible change, Hugh Powell says. As he bluntly puts it: "[N]o matter how good you get at playing the adult, you won't forget that underneath it all, at any age, you are always a scared little child, with no real idea of what you are doing."

Use this knowledge to recognize that everyone else is in the same position as you, no matter what image others project to the world. This can help you become more insightful, compassionate, and forgiving, Powell says.

RomanceRe: Guys: Reasons Why Your Girl Dumps You For Other Guys. by sparkleboy(m): 6:33pm On Jul 06, 2015
With that your number 3 I can determine the kind of friends you move with and the kind of picture that comes to mind on seeing you for the first time grin


Are you saying there are no decent guys anymore?
Birds of the same feather........,,,,,,,.......l. grin wink



asdfjklhaha:
I've decided to counter this thread

https://www.nairaland.com/2417116/ladies-reasons-why-guy-dumps

By opening the one below.

Enjoy.

1. Being too Authoritative: most guys as so authoritative. The moment you accept their proposal, they will begin to act like a God over your life. Some will go as far as sizing your phone, buying you new sim card and forcing you to break the old one and begin using the new one they bought, screaming like a dying goat if they call you by 8pm and the background is noisy. Such attitude pisses girls off and may make her reconsider other toasters proposals.

2. Asking for sex too early: most guys think that because you've accepted their proposal you've automatically become their sex machine. They'll begin touching you everywhere at every chance they get. If you mistakenly visit them in their house, you're on your own. Guys should understand that creating an atmosphere that would make the girl comfortable is the only way to win her heart, not acting like a he goat at every opportunity you get.

3. Initiating sex chat all the time: 99% of guys are guilty of this. You exchange number with them, they add you on BBM or whatsapp, the next thing you'll here is send me a hot pic of yourself, snap your boobs let me see how it looks like, how does your waist look like? what's your best sex position, do you suck dic*k and all that. Haba all girls are not porn stars, and that attitude would just tell the girl that you're only interested in her body.

4. The beggar: Its true that some girls rely on guys for almost every material thing in her life, guys are also guilty of the same. Some guys will beg and beg and beg, no shame, I have a coursemate like that, her guy uses her phone to make calls, comes to her lodge to eat, collects her food stuffs and worse of all is that he isn't even faithful to the girl. Guys like that are worse than mosquitoes and can make any girl feel irritated.

5. Abusiveness: Most guys act as if they're professional boxers, they'll slap, punch, kick, and beat you to a pulp at every slight misunderstanding you have. In fact, if you visit them for a week, you'll look like someone that survived an accident between your okada and a dangote trailer. Guys you people need to stop this attitude. Any guy that lays his hands on a girl regardless of what she did doesn't deserve the love and care of any woman.

6. Unfaithfulness: Men are polygamous in nature, but its so irritating when you introduce you guy to your friends and in less than a week he has slept with all of them. He even goes as far as asking your siblings, cousins and female members of your family out. Its so annoying. You cannot even leave him for 5minutes alone with a female without him misbehaving. Most girls get turned off by this attitude and begin to consider other options.

7. Comparing you to their ex: Believe me no girl loves this. Most guys behave like kids, they compare everything you do with the way their ex used to do it. From your cooking, to your dressing, even the way you talk. Please just allow the girl express herself. Trying to force a girl to become what she's not will get her frustrated and as a result she could begin to look elsewhere.

8. Refusing to get matured: We have many guys in their early, mid and late 30s but their characters are like that of teenagers. You say hello to a friend on the road, problem, if you smile while saying hello, they'll say both of you have something in common if not why did you smile, if you give him a peck, that one is another problem. If they take you out, they'll expect you to remain silent like a monument not reply greetings and talking to anyone till you come back home. One word for you, grow up!

[quote author=HeavenSentOne post=35275362][/quote]Hey mr heaven sent or whatever is your name, why don't you make appropriate findings before tagging me with Kayode Ogunleye?
Kayode was a friend in OAU Ile- Ife when he started his business and he got several cars for me and a lot of other people before he went Rogue and started defrauding people. I was also got him arrested when he went AWOL WITH 2.3m
Calculux , fastshipping, and a couple of other people on Nairaland can attest to the fact that I am not Kayode Ogunleye
The truth is that we had some business transactions before so please delete you posts before I report you the MODS.


CONFIRM PEOPLES IDENTITY FORST BEFORE TAGGING THEM AS FRAUDSTER, I AM IN NO WAY RELATED TO KAYODE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT HE WAS STUDYING MEDICINE IN IFEOLU WHILE I STUDIED LAW AND WE WER FRIEND BEFORE HE BECAME A FRAUDSTER.
