Health / Reasons Why People Take You For Granted Easily – Knowing #8 Will Change Ur Life. by theinfong(m): 10:47pm On Feb 07, 2017
Do you find yourself being taken for granted all the time, be it by your lover or your friends? These 16 truthful reasons can change your life forever. Are you one of those people who find themselves being taken for granted all the time? You may be assertive and in control of your life. But somewhere along the way, you start to realize that the people that love you are taking you and the things you do for them for granted almost all the time!

You may be loving and caring.

And you may go out of your way often to please your lover and pamper them.

But what do you do when your indulgences are taken for granted and turn into expectations?

Whose fault is it when you’re being taken for granted?

Should you blame the person taking you for granted?

Or should you blame yourself?

When you indulge in romantic gestures all the time without caring about your lover’s reciprocation, or when you’re too sweet and nice to your lover or a friend all the time without ever letting them realize that you’re going way out of your way to do something nice for them, it’s pretty obvious that they’d take you for granted because they don’t realize the effort you’ve made for them!

Can you blame someone when they have no idea about the effort you’ve taken for them?

Of course, they may feel pampered or special the first few times. But once it starts to feel like routine, the indulgences turn into expectations.

And if you don’t behave the same way or don’t make the effort one day, your lover may even get annoyed with you!

The harder you try, the bigger their expectations. And before you know it, you don’t get anything in return, and yet, you’d be expected to go out of your way and do something special for them all the time.

And almost always, this is the point of no return when you’d start to feel like you’re being taken for granted in the relationship!

Communication and being taken for granted

Everyone takes someone for granted when they’re in love, even if it’s only for a moment. And the only way to stop someone from taking you for granted is by letting them know just how hard you’ve tried to do something for them.

Learn to communicate and let them know if you’re going out of the way for them. You don’t have to wait until you’re bursting at the seams with anger or frustration to tell your lover or your family just how ungrateful they’ve been when you’ve been so giving and sacrificing.

Most people who get taken for granted make the mistake of holding back on communication, until they can’t hold on anymore. And then, they explode with helpless anger one fine day, much to the surprise of their shocked lover who probably didn’t even realize they were taking their partner for granted!

Instead, there’s an easier way to deal with this. Let your partner know when you’ve made the effort to do something nice for them. You’re not being pompous. You’re just letting them know the truth, and there’s nothing wrong in that.

In fact, telling your partner that you did something special for them will make your partner appreciate the gesture and feel grateful too!

After all, at the end of the day, all you want is a simple ‘thank you’ to feel appreciated, isn’t it?

Being taken for granted and self respect

There’s a reason why you may be allowing others to take you for granted. And in all probability, it starts and ends with self respect.

You don’t respect yourself enough to believe you’ve done enough for someone. You constantly try to do something more or do something better just to compensate for what, you believe, you’re lacking in.

And this behavior of yours pushes you to try harder to please others, and in return, you hope to be appreciated and loved. And when you don’t feel appreciated and loved, you start to believe you’re being taken for granted.

Do you seriously respect yourself for who you are, or do you need someone else’s appreciation to reaffirm that you’re a great person? Answering this question truthfully will help you realize why you’re being taken for granted all the time.

16 reasons why you may be getting taken for granted all the time

The easiest way to judge yourself and find out if you’re someone who could be taken for granted by others is by testing your own character.

There are a few traits and characteristics of people who are vulnerable to be being taken for granted. And chances are, you have a few of these traits in yourself.

Read these 16 reasons why some people get taken for granted, and if you see these traits in yourself, chances are, you’re more prone to getting taken for granted than many others around you!

#1 You can’t say ‘no’. You have a very hard time declining something to people. You’d rather take on more commitments or responsibilities than utter the word ‘no’. You may think you’re being sweet, but your inability to say no will only make others take your sacrifices for granted, and hate you when you don’t help them again!

#2 You’re predictable. Everyone around you, especially your loved ones, can totally predict your behavior. And since you’re so predictable, they subtly manipulate you and get you to do what they want. You may feel manipulated and used, but you feel helpless at the same time.

#3 You’re too sweet. You’re a people pleaser, and you just can’t be rude to others. You convince yourself that you’re the sweet person in a bad world, but in reality, you may be the idealist idiot in a real world who’s too sweet and nice, and forces others to take you for granted even if they don’t realize it themselves.

#4 You postpone decisions. You’d rather make excuses or postpone issues that bother you instead of dealing with it or concluding it immediately. You may think pushing decisions away is the easy way, but in fact, it’s the spineless way of dealing with your problems.

Your family, lover or friends who understand your inability to take tough decisions may abuse that side of you and make decisions on your behalf, and manipulate you into doing something you wouldn’t want to do because they know you can’t say no anyway!

#5 You can’t confront people. If you feel like you’re being taken for granted, confront the issue. If you can’t confront the issue, you’d end up unhappy and fill your head with resentments and frustrations, which would eat you from the inside.

#6 You’re scared. You’re scared of people who are loud, outspoken, bossy, and confrontational. You just can’t handle them and they stress you out emotionally. You’d rather accept what they say than ever go against them because you don’t believe you can handle them.

You may think it’s the best way to deal with rude people, but in reality, you’re setting yourself up to be used and taken for granted by these kinds of people for the rest of your life.

#7 You lie to yourself. You lie to yourself and make excuses in your head when someone takes you for granted. You console yourself and tell yourself that the person probably took the right decision anyway and they’re not using you or taking you for granted.

You’re not happy doing what you’re doing for this person, but you console yourself with false words that you’re doing it out of free will and not out of this person’s manipulation.

#8 You don’t believe in yourself. Somewhere deep inside, you doubt yourself and don’t believe in your own capabilities. You find flaws within yourself and you see other people as virtuous and flawless. You’re broken from inside, and you feel a constant need to please others to be accepted by them.

#9 You can’t be alone. You constantly feel the need to have someone as witness to your life. Independence scares you and you find it easier to go out of your way and be nice to someone who treats you badly instead of being lonely.

#10 You seek approval. You constantly need this person’s approval to do anything at all, be it to go out with your friends or do something for the first time. When someone starts to take you for granted, without realizing it, you’d allow them to emotionally control you and use you as they please. And before long, you lose your sense of judgment and you forget that it’s possible to independently make decisions for yourself.

#11 You don’t know your own desires. Every time you want to do something, even as simple as getting a new haircut or deciding on a restaurant, the voice in your head wonders if the object of your affection would like your decision. You always try to please this person, in everything you do, in the hope that they’d see just how loving and accommodating you are, hoping that they may realize just how much you’re doing for them someday.

#12 You crave for appreciation. You don’t like going against people you want to impress or win over. You accommodate anything they say, and you bend over backwards to please them in the hope of winning their affection. Hearing a small line of praise from them would mean the world to you.

#13 Low expectations. You intentionally keep your expectations low around people, especially the ones you love, because you know what constant disappoints feel like. But at the same time, you give far too much, in the hope that the one you love will see just how giving you are, and change and become a person just like you.

But on the contrary, this person may just assume they’re perfect for you already because you’re not pointing out any flaws in them, nor are you pointing out any of your wants or expectations from them.

#14 You respect them. You respect this person and you can’t ever think of going against them or offending them in any manner. This person is the center of your world and you know you’d do anything to keep them happy.

#15 They know you respect them. The people who take you for granted are usually the ones who know that they matter a lot to you. They see the love you have for them, and constantly expect more from you without even realizing it.

And when you keep giving more, their expectations too grow all the time, until it reaches the critical stage where you feel completely taken for granted, and this person starts to believe that you’re changing for the worse and being mean to them because you aren’t doing the things you once used to do for them!

#16 You give more than you get back. You just don’t know when to stop giving. And you always end up giving way too much before you even realize it. And by then, it’s probably too late because the person you’re giving to, may already be taking you for granted. And even if you back away, they’d only be upset and say you’re the one who’s changed for worse.

If you see any of these traits in yourself, there’s a good chance that you’re extremely susceptible to being taken for granted by those close to you.

You may not realize it at first, but it’s these very traits and reasons that force you to lose your own self respect, and depend on someone else for your happiness and achievements.

And before you know it, the person you love *and who loves you back* may unwittingly take you for granted, even if that was never their intention in the first place!

Once you understand these reasons why you’re being taken for granted, take a stand, and communicate with your loved one. After all, your life won’t get any better until you decide to stop giving other people the opportunity to take you for granted!

However, Olamide has managed to bring change by incorporating new skills into his rap music.



3. Highly Flexible


The Nigerian rap artist is well-known for his versatility in making music. He is able to easily blend different tunes and beats. Although he majorly raps in Yoruba, Nigerian slang, and Pidgin English, Olamide has produced a few tracks in English.

His stunt at the 2015 Headies award with Don Jazzy is one topic people are still talking about till date.



8. Arrogance

Some people may view Olamide as an arrogant rapper. This is possibly attributed to his hard-hitting lyrics, which often do not go down so well with other artists. For instance, in his track “Ghost Mode” where he collaborated with Phyno, he states that he has achieved more than what other artists have despite them having been in the music scene much longer.



9. Collaborations

Olamide has performed alongside other popular artists such as MI, Dbanj, Eja Nla, among others. The young man has created a niche for himself in this industry.

Celebrities / See What 2face Is Doing At Home After Dissociating Himself From Today's Protest by theinfong(m): 10:49am On Feb 06, 2017
Today’s ‘peaceful’ protest ought to have been led by 2Face in Lagos state, and if it had been, trust me, a larger amount of Nigerians would have marched to National Stadium, Surulere but the reverse is the case. Though the Enough is Enough group still forged ahead and promised that the protest will go on with or without 2Face, but let’s face it, 2Face was the show! 2Face was the reason why Social Media was on fire after he started the campaign.

There are two things 2Face could be doing right now;

1: He is either just sitting with his beautiful family and going through social media and live feeds to monitor what’s going on with the protest or 2: He is just chilling, unbothered as truth be told, just maybe, it was all a joke to him.

Anyway, to all those protesting today, good luck and remember, it is a peaceful protest. Do not engage in violence of any type or form.

Celebrities / #BBNaija: Miyonse Insults Tboss After Being Evicted From Big Brother Naija Show by theinfong(m): 5:50am On Feb 06, 2017
Can we take Tboss as a pathological liar? No, but If you ask this question to the evicted housemate Miyonse, he will definitely say Yes. It generally took him two weeks to realize that women are hard to define and by the time he got a proper definition of his sweetheart ,Tboss, he was already given a gate.

The two have been smooching each other throughout the two weeks and Miyonse couldn’t even think of any bad act from his girl. To his surprise, it was her (Tboss) among the housemates who nominated him for eviction. After Ebuka revealing it to him, Miyonse said that he wasn’t surprised at all but just disappointed with TBoss and it was a pshycho move. grin

Unfortunately, Miyonse couldn’t manage to shoot two birds with one stone, he either had to choose money or love.

Nairaland / General / BREAKING: President Buhari Extends His Vacation Indefinitely by theinfong(m): 5:48pm On Feb 05, 2017
President Muhammadu Buhari has extended his vacation indefinitely and will not return from the UK until he gets his medical test reports, his spokesman, Femi Adesina, said on Sunday. Buhari has communicated this in a letter to the national assembly, Adesina said. “President Muhammadu Buhari has written to the national assembly today, February 5, 2017, informing of his desire to extend his leave in order to complete and receive the results of a series of tests recommended by his doctors,” Adesina said in a statement. “The president had planned to return to Abuja this evening, but was advised to complete the test cycle before returning. The notice has since been dispatched to the senate president, and speaker, house of representatives.

“Mr. President expresses his sincere gratitude to Nigerians for their concern, prayers and kind wishes.” Buhari left the country on January 19, after transmitting a letter to the national assembly, disclosing that he was going on a 10-day vacation during which he would undergo medical checkups. He told the lawmakers that he had handed over to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, who was in Davos, Switzerland for the World Economic Forum, at the time. Osinbajo had to cut short his trip to take over the responsibilities. The rumour mill has been rife with reports that the president has died. TheCable had fact checked the fake news, and discovered it for what it was. Despite the findings, the rumours about Buhari continue to resurface every day. Not even the pictures of the president monitoring a Channels Television programme from his UK base, made “naysayers” back down.

Ibikunle Amosun, Ogun state governor, also visited Buhari in London. Amosun was accompanied by Daisy Danjuma, a former senator. Responding to the ill report, Lai Mohammed, minister of information, had said it is only in Nigeria that citizens wish their president dead. Nigerian leaders have condemned the false reports on the president’s health. On Friday, former President Olusegun Obasanjo reprimanded those wishing death on the nation’s number one citizen. Obasanjo had said: “Even if we know that Buhari is sick, it i wrong to wish him dead.

Celebrities / Tboss’ Family Reacts To Her S*xtape With Miyonse In The #bbnaija Show by theinfong(m): 3:51am On Feb 05, 2017
Recall, earlier last week, TBoss and Miyonse got their freak on, becoming the first housemates in #BBNaija to have s*x in the show (Click Here to watch), a close source to the family have come out to speak on the happenings going on as a result of TBoss’ action that night.

The source claims that the family is divided over her action, some saying that she is a disgrace and she always had that tendency since she left for Romania to study. While others are indifferent, saying that it is just a game and whatever she can do to be the top winner of the N25 million is acceptable.

The source further claimed that, those (names & family ties withheld) who are disgusted about her actions are majorly from her nuclear family and have threatened to disown their relationship with her immediately the show is wrapped up. I just wonder if their stand will shift or change if she brings back the N25 million to the house. Anyway, lets keep our fingers crossed for her. Good luck fixing this TBoss.

Nairaland / General / Police Vow To Stop 2face’s Protest Against Buhari's Administration by theinfong(m): 10:24am On Feb 02, 2017
The Lagos State Police Commissioner Fatai Owoseni has vowed to truncate the planned protest against the Federal Government slated for February 6 in the state. Popular musician, TuFace Idibia had announced to stage a nationwide protest in order to draw the attention of the relevant authorities to the sufferings of Nigerians under this administration. But Owoseni, who had earlier stated that there was no official request from the protesters notifying security agencies of their plan, said Wednesday that intelligence report indicated that criminals might hijack the process.

Addressing a press conference, the police chief said the command wasn’t ready for that kind of demonstration and as such would not allow it to hold. “Information reaching us revealed that some hoodlums are planning to hijack the peaceful protest. And as such, we won’t allow it to hold in Lagos. “We know that Tuface do not have the capacity to contain such a crowd and we will not fold our hands and watch while things go out of hand. “The Civil Society had said that they do not need police permission to carry out any peaceful protest, but they should also be aware that there might be those who share an opposing view.

This set of persons may want to disrupt the peaceful demonstration and would want to attack demonstrators. “This is why we advise individuals or group of persons who may wish to embark on civil demonstration to inform the police so that adequate security arrangement would be provided.”

Celebrities / Day 1 In #bbnaija: Tboss Tries To Slap Miyonse After A Kiss by theinfong(m): 4:08am On Jan 24, 2017
BBNaija: Biggie wasted no time at all after Ebuka, K9, Flavour and Yemi Alade had sprinkled stardust over this season’s opening show. Biggie allowed the Housemates to settle into their new environment before he called TBoss into the Diary Room for the Housemates first Task – a Fire Drill. The Housemates had to use the fire extiguishers to put out a fire in the garden, letting them know how important safety was in the House.

The housemates passed their first test with flying colours and managed to win points towards their first wager. The Housemates wasted no time in getting to know each other, with some spending more time together than others. Soma attracted more attention from the ladies than most. He and Gifty spent a lot of time in the kitchen flirting with each other and even singing to each other, although Uriel and Bisola also vied for his attention. Miyonse and TBoss, not to be left out also spent time making eyes to each other as did Kemen and Marvis. Marvis had spent some time earlier talking to herself in the garden. The House was abuzz with everybody talking over each other as each Housemate tried to make themselves heard as they all started to get to know each other.

They wasted no time in getting stuck into the alcohol with Marvis and ThinTallTony being the first to start drinking. Fashion conscious Gifty and Uriel changed outfits as soon as they got into the House. Miyonse blew a kiss to TBoss which obviously struck a nerve with TBoss as she moved to slap him jokingly. It looks as if we are set for a fiery and eventful 11 weeks with some fascinating characters. Who do you think will walk away with the title of Big Brother Naija winner? Stay tuned to follow your favourite Housemate.

Nairaland / General / Baby Born With A Disease Which Causes His Skin To Fall Off If Touched (photos) by theinfong(m): 7:36pm On Jan 23, 2017
Skin to fall off if touched : One of the joys of every parent is in being able to hold their new baby close. Sadly this cannot be the case for Kadyem, 22, and Kyera, 20, the first time parents of a baby born on December 28 with a rare incurable disease which makes his skin peel off when touched. Baby Kaheel Clark-Smith was diagnosed at birth with Epidermolyosis Bullosa (EB) after he was born with small blisters on his arm, but the doctors dismissed it as a mild case and sent him home, however, he had extreme breakout days later that resulted in blisters and the loss of 60% of his skin and that was when it was discovered that he has the worst case of the disease.

Kaheel's parents, who are unable to cuddle or kiss their baby, are raising funds to fly their son to a specialist EB centre in Ohio since the hospital where their son was born in Seattle, Washington has very little experience in handling such case. Khaleel's aunt, Brandi Smith, revealed the extent of the trauma these new parents and their child are having to deal with;

"This is their first child and they are so overwhelmed and broken. We found out the day he was born and didn't know anything about it. We had to do all the research at home," She said.

"We found out this was the 'worst disease you've never heard of' and we were so heartbroken. Even a cuddle or a kiss can cause his skin to blister. The doctors gave us false hope because he was eating and all his vital signs were fine. Then he had a bad breakout and he was admitted to NICU on Jan 4th.

"We just got back the results from the biopsies and have been told it's the worst type of EB."

Brandi started a GoFundMe page to help raise $30,000 for the medical flight to get the baby to the care of experts in Ohio and also for the expensive special clothing and bandage needed to wrap Khaleel.

Nairaland / General / Most Wanted French-isis Terrorist, Kevin G Hands Himself Over To The Police by theinfong(m): 3:10pm On Jan 23, 2017
French-ISIS terrorist: One of France’s most-wanted terrorist, who was a former choir boy, has turned himself over to the police. 24-year-old Kevin G, who was a Chief headhunter for Islamic State, handed himself over, claiming that he has been reformed. Kevin converted to Islam a decade ago and is believed to have been in charge of getting young French people to sign up to terrorism in Syria and Iraq.

He spent four years in Syria before leaving with his four French wives and their six children for Turkey last year. His wives were arrested and sent back to France. Backlisted by the United Nations back in 2014 as a wanted terrorist, Kevin has now been charged with financing terrorism and recruiting jihadis for both al-Qaeda and Islamic State. He claims to have turned his back on terrorism and walked away from ISIS because he feared being killed. Although his case is being handled by the Paris prosecutor, officials must now determine whether he has genuinely reformed or whether it was a deliberate ploy to return to Europe as part of a sleeper cell.

Nairaland / General / Pastor Oyedepo : LORD If It Your Will To Break Up Nigeria, Break It Now by theinfong(m): 1:20pm On Jan 13, 2017
Founder of Living Faith Church Worldwide International aka Winners Chapel, Bishop David Oyedepo, has asked God to break Nigeria if it is his will to do so. According to Vanguard, Oyedepo said this recently while preaching in one of his services where he reigned curses on the sponsors of the Southern Kaduna crisis that has reportedly claimed well over 3000 lives.

“God sent me as His apostle of liberation to this continent to stop it from decadence. I heard from God and He has proved it beyond measure. Therefore, every occultic root, every political root of this uprising is cursed today! All the northern forces that are sponsoring this uprising and killings, I decree the curse of God upon them. If Nigeria wakes up, wait for the church to rise. There will be no more nation, what nonsense”he said.

Celebrities / Exclusive: ‘There’s Crisis In Tonto Dikeh’s Marriage’ – Sources Confirm. by theinfong(m): 10:42pm On Jan 12, 2017
Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh is in the news again and for her sake we hope it’s false. Word got out that her 17-month old marriage to hubby and philanthropist Oladunni Churchill is in trouble. There were reports online today that there was allegedly another woman in the mix…but many didn’t take the report seriously until Tonto removed her husband’s name, Churchill from her IG handle, fueling speculations that their marriage is indeed is in crisis.

LIB reached out to one of Churchill’s aide who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity saying, ‘haba, there’s no issues at all, why do people like making issues out of nothing. The fact that she changed her name on social media does not imply crisis, what if it’s for a business purpose’. However, another source in Tonto Dikeh’s camp told LIB that, ‘they had a small issue but honestly it’s nothing am sure they are fine’. A week ago, the actress shared a cryptic post on Instagram which partly reads, ‘If that guy doesn’t call you for two weeks, he doesn’t like you as much as you like him. If that important meeting keeps on getting rescheduled, it means it is not that important to the other party.

Remember your happiness starts with you. Not with your relationship. Not with your friends. Not with your job. But with you. Things outside of you won’t fix problems on the inside. Love yourself properly and people will love you’. At the moment, It’s still a developing story as there’s no official statement from the couple. Tonto Dikeh held her traditional wedding ceremony on August 29, 2015 at her hometown Rumukani in Rumukwuta, Obiokpor L.G.A Rivers State.

Nairaland / General / Gov Ambode Arrests Pretty Mike For Putting Women In Chains (photos) by theinfong(m): 1:04pm On Jan 12, 2017
Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State has sanctioned the arrest of Pretty Mike over allegations of dehumanizing women. 30-year-old club owner, Mike Eze-Nwalie Nwogu popularly known as ‘Pretty Mike’, has been arrested for ‘dehumanizing’ young girls by turning them into human puppies with chains round their necks. He was arrested on Wednesday by the police on the orders of the Lagos State Government. Nwogu was said to be cooperating with investigation and had given useful statement to the police and was released after signing an undertaking to desist from the act.

The undertaking read in part: “I, Mike Eze Nwalie, A.K.A Pretty Mike of 21A Magodo GRA, Luma Street, do hereby undertake to stop whatever act of putting girls on a leash or any other degrading treatment to ladies and guys. “I am aware that such act offends the law of the State of Lagos and if I repeat it again, there will be legal act towards me. I undertake to issue a letter of apology to the public effective from tomorrow on all my social media platforms.”

Speaking on the matter, the State’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem said the State Government will not tolerate any anti-social behavior that attempt to dehumanize any citizen in the State. Kazeem restated the government’s determination to prosecute any individual or group of persons who violate any law of the State under any guise. “The Lagos State Government is committed to the protection of the rights of all citizens including children, women and all the vulnerable persons in the State,” Kazeem said.

NYSC / 5 Things To Do After NYSC - Make Sure You See This! by theinfong(m): 5:21am On Jan 12, 2017
Things to do after NYSC : NYSC (National Youth Service Corp) as we all know, is a platform where graduates from different tertiary institutions come together for a year in various states to serve their father’s land. To some, it is an interesting phenomenon while to others it’s like hell in a packaged form. This article is not based on NYSC but on what happens after NYSC.


Some have finished their service year, while others will soon be through and then move on to the next phase of life. This means no more alert from Federal Pocket, PPA (Place of Primary Assignment) or the State Government, like it or not, this is a pure fact. But those that are extremely very lucky or those that are vigilant of the present economic trend in Nigeria will strive to success.

Those that will earnestly search for knowledge and opportunities will also succeed, those that know the dig dong search strategies will eventually find opportunities, those that are ambitious will find a lucrative business to do and those that are lazy will stay at home to realize when they are old . So which category will you belong to after your service year? Many Nigerian graduates still sit back at home or some even tend to join the labour market movement filled with millions of graduates who are also looking for the so called “White collar Job” which in turn is tantamount to unemployment among Nigerian youths.

Recently, out of the 13,000 applications received by Dangote group of companies for graduates executive truck drivers, there were 6 PhD. holders, 704 MSC and over 8,460 BSc holders, even though the company only needed 100 drivers, almost 13,000 were received mostly from graduates of reputable universities. More so, according to the federal ministry of labor and productivity, it was stated that the mandatory NYSC, more than 41% of Nigerian graduates are without employment. The Bureau for Statistics added that over 50% of youths in Nigeria are jobless, while the world bank puts the figure at 56% considering the country’s estimated population of about 167 million and 60 million jobless , these figures are alarming and poses a great threat to the economic growth and development of a Nation with the highest concentration of black people on earth.

To avoid being on the negative side of Nigeria situation after service year, there are some things you need to keep your self doing, which brings about the question, What next after service year?

1. Develop Yourself

For the first few months after service, most will remain very idle and will have nothing doing. These first few months can be used in personal development of one’s self. Mentally, Physically, and in all ramification. Pick a skill and learn more about it, Pick up the books you have been procrastinating to read and read up. There are various books out there that can be used to develop yourself. From inspirational to spiritual to business and lots more. If already you have what you good at, you can as well develop on it.



2. Learn A Trade

Sounds awkward to the ears of someone that just finished service, right? As for me, it doesn’t. Learning a trade after NYSC does not deprive you of your integrity or speaks less of you. If you check the background of some of the top rice people in your locality or Nigeria at large, you will find out that they were into trade before they started making millions out of it. Learning a trade is not something to look down on, but an avenue to increase financially. It may be tiring and discouraging for some while after you start, but like the saying “Good things don’t come easily”, so while learning a trade also learn to also have an enduring spiritual.



3. Create A Good Business Plan And Execute

Start up that dream business you have been nursing for long. Ben (surname withheld) did his service at NNPC towers Abuja, a very good place if you must ask me, a lot of connections and opportunities. Every month he got his “alawee” as popularly called amongst corp members, he bought clothes and shoes bags and fancy wrist watches just because he believed he needed to impress the other workers. Wrong motive I say because today he’s going through fasting and prayer just to get a job. While Daniel (Surname Withheld ) did his at a certain Ondo company, not well known and he even had issues with some months payments, but he saved up half of his allowance monthly and now he has his own functioning business. The difference between Ben and Daniel is that Daniel had a good plan laid down and a way of saving up to finance that plan from the general #19,800 all corp members receive monthly which he used to execute his plan.



4. Further Your Education

To those of you who are the career driven types, you can decide to further your education by getting MSC (Masters) in the field of your choice. Search through accredited institutions before applying for your master’s program. Some will say no money to fund them. Common! there are lots of scholarship programs out there, if not full then half, you can just Google search through, apply and you might be lucky. It is okay to do your master’s degree program, but get this straight, if your sole purpose for doing masters is to get a high paying job, then you are heading for a shocker ‘cos guess what’? there are so many people with masters who are yet to get a job, talk less of good ones. So get certified in what you love and compliment it with something.
