FamilyThe Stigmatisation Of Unmarried/single Working Adult Nigerians by StarboyMichael(op): 4:54am On Nov 05, 2015
My friend wrote this and I want to share.

Let me first declare that this post was inspired by a Facebook post by a friend. She narrated that she heard a pastor telling the married women in his congregation not to be friends with single women...the reason for his advice is that he believes they will be misled by their unmarried/single friends.

Well I am not ready to join issue with this pastor, but I will like to use this opportunity to join issue with Nigerian society as a whole. Personally, I have always believed that Nigerians have a very misguided, perverted and warped idea of a relationship or marriage.
I said so because I am talking from experience. An average Nigerian believes that once a man or woman is working, the next thing is for him or her to get married. Everywhere you go, you are bombarded with the questions of "when are you getting married?", "do you know time is going?", "what are you waiting for?", etc. In fact, the pressure is so much that if you are not a strong person, you will start thinking that you have a problem.

Now let everyone listen to me, if you are married, congratulations and I wish you well. But it is an invasion of privacy to be asking people when they are getting married. And it is wrong of you to disrespect people because they are not married. Some people even think single or unmarried people are irresponsible or lose. If you are a man, some people will also insinuate that may be you are impotent. ‪#‎smile‬. I have seen situations where some married people believe you should accord them special respect because they are married and you are not.

Let me continue by saying that I am not married and I don't need anybody's advice on why I am not yet married. I personally will not tolerate disrespect from anyone because I am not married. Neither will I accord anyone special respect because he or she is married. I will only respect you if you deserve my respect, whether you are married or single is immaterial to me.

Finally, let it be clear that single or unmarried status is not a disease that needs to be cured. And to all the single and unmarried people out there, your destiny is in your own hands. Whether you allow the society to make you feel inadequate or not, depends on you. Always remember that there is nothing wrong with you. Also, know that everybody cannot get married at the same time. In fact, I don't have problem with anyone who doesn't want to get married at all.

Thank you and share your thoughts.

PhonesWhy Is My Infinix Hot 2 Eating So Much Data by StarboyMichael(op): 8:00am On Sep 27, 2015
I rushed to buy this infinix hot 2 from Jumia the second week after its announcement, because they listed on the ad page that I could get 1gb mtn data for N500, only to attempt subscription with A1 to 131 and I was denied that I was not eligible for the offer. I called mtn center. They don't know about that offer, I called Jumia call centre and I was told the offer has been stopped, and I was like, what the ? That's why I bought the phone in the first place.

This morning, I decided to share data on wireless hotspot from my Z10. I was suprised to see how the data was zooming off on the Z10, I hadn't even touched the infinix, I decided to wait 5 minutes and I was shocked that it had consumed over 17 mb, like I was downloading something, is there any reason for this, please note that I have been connecting to the hotspot before, I never cared to check.

Why this continuous data zapping

CareerWhat No One Tells You About Teamwork by StarboyMichael(op): 6:50am On Sep 12, 2015
There’s a little secret that nobody tells you about teamwork. You’ve heard the saying “there’s no I in team” more times than you can probably remember, but have you heard the response that Michael Jordan gave the Chicago Bulls NBA team coach Phil Jackson? “There is in win!”
No, Michael Jordan wasn’t trying to make it seem like he was more important than the rest of his team. Bryan Flanagan explains the thought process behind this in his book
Encouragement for the Sales Professional . He claims that what Jordan was trying to say is, “I am responsible. I am accountable. I will take the last shot with the game on the line. If I miss, I will take the heat in the pressroom from the reporters. I will perform my job to the best of my ability. I will contribute to the success of my team and my teammates.”
“I will perform my job to the best of my ability. I will contribute to the success of my team and my teammates.”
It was his contribution to the team, that self-regulating dedication that Jordan was speaking about. A team cannot be made up of one person. A team is made up of individuals. A team is made up of many different kinds of people who bring different values and goals and ambitions and personalities to the table. A successful team learns to work with one another and a successful team is made up of individuals who have taken responsibility for their own actions and brought their best face forward so that they can, as a whole, make the team better.
The importance of individual leadership in a team cannot be understated. Taking Michael Jordan as an example, as Flanagan did, we can realize it was Jordan’s understanding of “how to lift a team to a higher level of performance” that pushed the Bulls to six World Championship titles. “He set the standard of individual commitment and dedication to success.”
Jordan, like many other successful people, understood “if you put together a series of ’I’s,’ you could put together a series of wins, achievements, and successes.” When everybody is working hard, when everybody is working for the goal of the team and trying to improve themselves and those around them, that is when true success can come in enormous quantities. After all – you’re only as good as your weakest link.
Flanagan pushes us forward and asks us to “embrace that principle today. The goal is to contribute to the betterment of the team by being the best I can be today. I am responsible. I am accountable. I will contribute my best efforts today.” So go out there and do that. Be responsible, accountable, hardworking, dedicated, and all of the words that describe your work ethic and personal values. Be that person that pushes your team to success. You won’t regret it.

Christianity EtcIs It Wrong To Collect Increment/interest On Loan? by StarboyMichael(op): 7:17pm On Sep 11, 2015
I am thinking of giving a soft loan to my uncle, not that he asked for it but because I know he needs some cash now. He will use the money for cement business and make profit. And I think its a form of investment for me too. Is it wrong to ask him for a percentage increment on the loan?
