You have nothing to worry about. Involuntary tests don't come with results because you didn't do it intentionally. No HIV positive person will be happy. Y'all telling him to run, everything doesn't have to be bad. For once think good.

I'm trynna muster this kind of energy and squeeze something out of this experience before it passes.

I've been unengaged for a month tops and believe me, it's been hell.

Long walks on flooded roads in search of just anything to keep me busy.
Rain beat me Yama Yama.
Protracted hunger.
Fell sick.
Got better.
Fell sick again.
Etc.

I peeked at a mirror the other day and couldn't recognize the man gawking at me.
I dey look am, e dey look me grin

It's my first time in this street...and I've never seen a thing like it.
Don't give up bro, we'll overcome.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Stop Telling People To Learn Skills When There Is No Money. by Spiff20(m): 7:03pm On Jul 16, 2022

Oga if you can see money to pay your school fees, if you can see about 100k to learn hairdressing, fashion designing and even buy the sewing machine, how then can you not see money to buy a laptop and subscribe and learn something on youtube?

The only problem I have with Nigerians is those people that will tell you that they are making $1000 every month on affiliate marketing, drop shipping, Amazon Kdp will be telling you to bring 30-60k to learn. How can you be earning 600k a month and be begging people to learn theses for a measly 30k.

If you want to learn a skill learn data science, especially those that want to japa. If you need short term skills that will bring you over 100k a month, learn barbing, hairdressing, fashion designing and when you are through, save up or seek funds as if you have school fees to pay to startup your own.
All these guys making half a million monthly for these online businesses I wonder how they still have the time to teaching people and convincing stubborn heads to buy their courses for 60k. They are making more from teaching than earning in the real sense and that right there, is a serious red flag. If they really want to teach for the passion they can make the courses 10k or 5k and they'll even make more.

I hate it when people say this "go learn a skill", whereas the other person is still struggling to eat a proper meal in a day.

You can't tell someone to learn a tech skill, if there is no money to get monthly subscription or a laptop. you can't tell someone to go learn hairdressing or dressmaking, if I get to pay to learn. Stop telling someone to invest when there is hardly enough to eat.

Learn to help your friends financially first, before dishing out your advice to go learn a skill, after all "na money person dey use to find money.
I've said it several times, you need money to make more money but these motivational speakers won't rest. They'll say start first, start where you are, just start, you don't ask if the person has eaten that day, you just say start as if the person is a generator. Even Gen needs fuel to start.

Someone will struggle to make 2k a day and data is 1500 already. Online business ko.

People need support. If you can promise to take care of the persons feeding while the person learns a skill it'll be better. Family, friends, all need to support.

I don't get it. You want to raise money and you're opting for 50k instead 61k. You're not even a true pastor talk more of having a calling to start your own ministry. One day you could leave the ministry to go and do oil company job of 250k with this mindset. You even saw a church paying you 61k and you're still thinking like this. You called yourself into this not God. This is funny even.

I think the boy consented to it so why calling him a poor boy. One kidney to be rich for life is not a bad investment. And I'm sure the boy has no idea his benefactors have been arrested which is why he's posting about grace. The young man is happy and is about to be rich. The UK should mind their business. He's not UK citizen after all.
RomanceRe: Should We Hide Our Sisters? (photo) by Spiff20(m): 10:14am On Jun 23, 2022
LadyD22:
First of all ewwww disgusting
Secondly no if the man said he prefers my sister and she accepts then good for them , they deserve each other ,why would I hide my sister because of man ?? This is not a loss it's a blessing in disguise, if I hide her today what of tomorrow ? My children's aunty boya I should kuku erase her from the face of the Earth on top of prick matter , if clothe no size me I go give person wey e size , since men want to be passed around like hand me downs
My sister is not mad , she'll even be irritated at his lack of self respect and indisciplined behavior , that's if she's the same sister I've been mentoring since childhood, no sensible woman would accept to settle down with a man who does not acknowledge her relationship to her family that's if she comes from a good family or has a love for her folks

Most times what causes this is that some people's parents have informed them that marriage is the end goal and now it's a competition of who gets it first , I can't say if they have happy marital life but I know for sure that they will remember it everyday they see themselves , they'll feel guilty , insecure , they will feel threatened by the sister whom they believe they betrayed , they will have wild imaginations of what if ? What if this man changes his mind , what if there's another person

Basically most women who agree to such have low self esteem and believe marriage is a goal , they attach a lot of importance to it and therefore they jump when they see the first boat no matter where it's coming from or who was on it
How to prevent it ? Me personally I don't think I have the energy to be imagining such a funny story , my sister remains my priority before any man , she knows this much , we've suffered together , all I want for all my little ones is peace and happiness , I don't know where those 3 picked their sisters from
I think you are just talking to sound smart and you're probably not a woman. Even me as a guy, I will avoid any woman that's close to my brother. But you want to sound modern but you're sounding stupid.
FamilyHow To Keep Promises And Earn The Trust Of People by Spiff20(op): 11:04am On Jun 22, 2022
Life is cluttered with so many unfulfilled promises, some are intentional, some are not.
In the wake of all these disappointments lies a myriad of distrust and marred integrities. I've been a victim and also a culprit. I've made promises I couldn't fulfill and I've been promised great things that never came to pass. Having had a fair share of both scenarios I came to finalize that in every case of an unfulfilled pledge there's always a victim to cry foul and a culprit with a justifiable excuse for failing and ofcourse trust is the endangered virtue. The table keeps turning as a culprit today might be a victim tomorrow and vice versa.

In our relationships between our mortal likes and our Supreme Immortal above which is God, a certain degree of trust is required to maintain the rapport from its incipience. Psychology says that every human has one trust allocated to every other human it has a relationship with and once it's broken there's no reserved or spare trust left. This postulate could be true for some and untrue for others, some never trust again while some continue anyway and apply caution which apparently indicates uncertainty. The numbered subheadings below would save your integrity a lot more than you think. If you really want to keep promises follow these rules.

1. DON'T PROMISE AT ALL

Yea, don't promise at all. Asides the damaged trust you've earned yourself with people, you're invariably a liar. You can evade promises by inserting statements like "let's see how it goes" or "I'll try my best but not an assurance". Whoever is the recipient of any of these sentences is already contemplating alternatives and substitutes in your stead. If the person still decides to have a fait accompli on you, then the game is on him, but at least you've raised a flag of uncertainty exonerating yourself of the aftermath beforehand. Even the Bible encouraged a sealed lip rather than uttering vows you know are beyond your redemption.

2. LEAVE FAITH OUT OF IT

Oftentimes we make promises and leave it at the feet of faith, especially when it has to do with hard currencies. "I'll make sure that by the end of this year every kid gets a free iPad " and then you go to bed with a faith that everything will pan out well and money will be attracted to you like little helpless pins in the face of a magnet. That's downright silly. What if life knocks you down with one it's evil trucks and you're financially bankrupt. You have a host of kids on your tail demanding for their pads. Such promises hold a special abode in their hearts and of course you are in trouble. Be at least 90% certain of the available resources you have to pull off any big project before spilling out. Most people will never understand the obstacles you encountered after making the troth because some of them aren't even close to you. To them you're just one of those promise-and-fail deceptive humans.

3. SET A REMINDER

We're always engulfed in life's numerous entanglements and necessities and it's not out of place for one to just make a commitment and dump it in the cloud of oblivion. These reminders are programmed to poke you daily of the pledge you made, the device can never forget its daily task. A constant poking creates that consciousness of your vows and as such you'll strive to get that part of your business done and dusted. Reminders could be set on almost anything, it could be that laundry you promised your Dad, that trip to the grocery store for your Mum, that promise to fix a damaged item for a friend, that promise to make an inquiry for someone in a distant city about something he needs in your city. Anything fella, just set the damn reminder. Most times having the resources to redeem promises is not the problem, forgetting is.



4. MAKE SACRIFICES

So you made the promise out of pride cos everyone has done so and your ego and dignity is at stake crying out for salvation. Beautiful, it's not that bad, sacrifice your time or money to present you as a faithful fella. Whatever circumstances that left you choiceless but to pledge either in a relationship, church, social setting, name it, always try your best and go out of your way to fulfill it. Doing this raises your credibility bar and forces everyone to cut you large slacks in a case where you were unable to fulfil another pledge on schedule. That level of trust so built keeps their hopes high on you, knowing that just as destiny as you are, maybe delayed but can't be denied. Trust humans, they will sing praise songs to your reliability which will place you in a spot where doing otherwise rather than fulfilling a vow is never an option.

5. STRIVE TO BE RICH

The rich deliver on the spot, there's no need for the i-will-do-this phrases. There's always a check at pockets reach to scribble out the bucks. The only exception to this rule is when there's a picture of an asset, say a building project in the scene, which we all know takes time but limited time anyway because of the availability of the wherewithal. For most people, money is everything and they take promises of its nature seriously. This kind may never forgive you. Hope deferred maketh the heart sick. It's right there in the Bible Proverbs 13:12 . So make more more instead of making hearts sick, make more money so you can do on the spot delivery, make more money so even your promises will be respected and held in high regard. If Dangote, Otedola, Elumelu and their likes tell you they'll do something good for you especially when it has to do with money, all you need to do is to go home and be happy and pray nothing changes their mind.

FINAL NOTE

THE world would be a better place filled with harmonious ecstasies if we all try to keep promises made. The first class culprits of this social misdemeanor are our politicians. In a bid to entice and win the hearts of electorates, they spill vacuum pledges in return for numerous chants, praises and franchises in their favor. I've never seen anything so beautiful in politics than a smug face of a politician at the end of his tenure on a billboard with the inscription "A Promise Kept " and a photo montage of his legacies and achievements. One Governor in Nigeria comes to mind. A reputation is built on solid rocks. Trust is earned. Everyone is Happy. I rest my case here.

BusinessRe: Successful Upwork Freelancers, Please Come To My Aid! by Spiff20(m): 5:38pm On Jun 20, 2022
SavageBoy:
I I just don't know how I didn't see this comment of yours chief.

You say the direct transfer to my bank is faster and the exchange rate is #395, what about payoneer exchange rate? Do you have any idea what the rate will be if I go through the payoneer route? Would it be less than or more than $395? If I opt out for the direct bank transfer, how long will it take to receive the credit alert? I'm using kuda bank, do you have any idea if kuda's exchange rate is same with other banks? Can I transfer just any amount from upwork(using the upwork direct bank transfer)?

I thought using payoneer made sense, thinking I could withdraw any amount easily. Didn't know I needed to have up to $100. So the little money I sent from upwork escrow is still there. The payoneer to payoneer transfer affords one the opportunity to get through the low exchange rate, but the problem is having $1K for the first transfer(which is sort of difficult for now)
If the exchange rate for direct transfer is around the same for payoneer transfer, I may have to opt out for upwork direct bank transfer.

Pls help me answer the bolded question
Just use the direct bank transfer, I have payoneer but have not used it before. I use local bank transfer and get my money in less than 24 hours after requesting for payment. You might end up spending more with exchangers and still end up with the 395.
