ceejay80s:Lols. While it's not completely unusual to find her there, the video simply shows the location of the guy where the girls father went to arrest him. It didn't say that the guy is here gym unstructor. |
Lifestone:Check same video where the father said the girl is 'under age'. Yes, until proven otherwise |
highchief1:It is rape. In Nigeria, it's defilement under the law and prescribed with jail terms. He said the girl is 'under age'. That says it all. |
Lifestone:That's why you guys enter problems up and down abroad. Even if underage girl didn't tell you her age and you sleep with her, bro, here for Yankee, you don enter. I will narrate my experience in another thread when I'm ready. |
Olofofo247ng:Chai, how time flies. I witnessed Olikoye saying on a media briefing pertaining Fela's death that the Afrobeat king died of Aids related cause. I thought he should jave been a bit defensive. |

RandDigital:One useless thing is that they don't have capital punishment. It's painful. These ones will still play soccer and drink coffee while serving jail terms. It's sad. |
Imattertoo:Same with any other place in the world. The difference is that the credit system doesn't work in Nigeria |
Goodmarlian:You are right but also state the role poverty plays in the whole saga. Checkout the girl that refused to fall. She looks rich and confident. |

cutecommend:Christ has done the ultimate restitution. But do not be deceived... (Complete it). This shows that you still pay. Remember, Paul was beharded in Rome. By and by, you will reign with Christ in heaven! |
He still needs our prayers for his career in Spain. Apart from his scoring prowess, the way he was being dispossessed shortly before he was changed was worrisome to me. If the other team studies his play style, he would be easily rendered lame. I think he should pay close attention to Spanish football pattern. Happy remarkable first Atletico outing bro. Happy Valentine! |
So now when you schedule visa interview appointment, the embassy doesn't send the usual s schedule details to your email again. |
InfoGuru118:For El rufai, karma is a bitch |
motymop:They obviously couldn't find the car keys, and they snuffed the life out of the young man. They will be hunted down by police. Hope the useless Naija embassy will take this up. |
How to tell if you have AQ, the new ‘non-negotiable’ skill of highly successful people—it comes down to how you handle stress More than 100 years ago, IQ (intelligence quotient) established what it means to be intelligent. Then came along EQ, which broadened the meaning with emotional intelligence. Both were helpful frameworks for the time and context which they emerged, but now our world in-flux demands something new: AQ (agility quotient), which I define as the ability to handle change, uncertainty, and the unknown. As an executive coach to founders and CEOs, I’ve found that AQ is no longer a nice-to-have. It’s a non-negotiable orientation toward life. In my new book, “AQ: A New Kind of Intelligence for a World That’s Always Changing,” I break down the four AQ Archetypes. Identifying yours can help you understand the skills you have at your disposal for handling stress, solving problems, and tackling crises. 1. The Neurosurgeon This is you if... You know what habits work for you and you stick with them. In your personal relationships, you value people who have known you for the longest time. You will take calculated risks if there is a solid plan in place. When faced with an unexpected challenge, you initially feel worried: How can I fix this situation? Neurosurgeons are motivated by excellence: They hold every aspect of their life to the highest of standards, moving with diligence, conscientiousness, and hard-won expertise. Strengths: The Neurosurgeon is steadfast and determined. Once they commit to something, they never give up until they’ve succeeded. Neurosurgeons are also a steady and stabilizing force for everyone in their lives, and a source of incredible expertise at work. Challenges: The Neurosurgeon’s perfectionism can become a fear of failure. They see the world with more skepticism than optimism, and this leads to them saying no to change more than they say yes. They are slow in times of turmoil. Antidote: The Neurosurgeon must learn to befriend discomfort. They grow by forcing action and decisions at a faster pace than what is typical for them, extending the boundaries of their comfort zone. 2. The Novelist This is you if... You regularly try out new habits and try to improve what works for you. At work, you need lots of space and freedom in your schedule. You will take risks if it creates more autonomy for independence. When faced with an unexpected challenge, you initially feel annoyed: This wasn’t part of my plan! Novelists are motivated by freedom: They are unafraid to deviate from the past; thus, they thrive in situations where they are allowed to change directions whenever they want. Freedom gives them the agency to write their own story. Strengths: The future-forward Novelist is at the leading edge of their field and up-to-date on the latest news. There’s always a bold goal, a big insight, or an exciting book to discuss. Their enthusiasm for proactive change is inspiring to those around them. Challenges: The Novelist uses change as a way to avoid difficult situations. In hard times, they’d rather pivot than persevere to the finish. Also, when unwanted change rocks the Novelist’s world, they can become overwhelmed and lash out. Antidote: The Novelist only grows once they learn how to let go of their plans and expectations. When change happens, they must work hard to fight their natural inclinations and embrace reality. Peace comes for the Novelist once they can see the silver lining in unwanted change. 3. The Firefighter This is you if... The wilder a situation gets, the calmer and more focused you become. You’re so skilled at in-the-moment responses that you can often neglect planful, future-oriented endeavors. You figure, Everything is always changing. Why waste time with plans that won’t stick? You’ll take risks when you have the capacity to deal with the outcome. When faced with an unexpected challenge, you initially feel calm: Life is always in flux anyway. Firefighters are motivated by impact: The Firefighter is an expert at fixing what others believe to be unfixable. Doing work that really matters is a necessity, and they thrive on seeing the tangible results of their efforts. Strengths: The Firefighter excels when most people would feel stressed out, anxious, or paralyzed. They have an upbeat attitude and a calm demeanor. They see possibility in impossible situations and aren’t deterred by setbacks and surprises. In fact, these shocks keep the Firefighter’s mind sharp and alert. Challenges: All the time spent fighting fires leaves very little room to be intentional and strategic about the future. Because they do well in emergencies, the Firefighter can tolerate high levels of stress, and sometimes may create chaotic situations, because that’s where they feel comfortable. Antidote: The Firefighter must push themself to become as adept with proactive change as they are with unwanted change, making the time on a quarterly or annual basis to draw up big-picture plans. 4. The Astronaut This is you if... You believe that imagination is more important than knowledge. You believe that risks are essential to innovation and progress. You truly believe that you can do anything you put your mind to. When faced with an unexpected challenge, you initially feel accepting: This isn’t what I wanted, but I can make it work. The Astronaut is motivated by passion: Astronauts follow their passion, whether personal or professional. Their vivid interests and curiosities inform every action and decision. Their intense enthusiasm drowns out any fear, so they hardly register big shifts that can unravel other people. Strengths: The Astronaut is fast. They are quick to evolve and pivot, moving more swiftly than the other Archetypes. Another gift is authenticity. They are unapologetically themselves, with a unique approach to their life. This combination of speed and passion creates a bold and decisive personality Challenges: The Astronaut can be so absorbed in their passion that they overlook the boring and tedious details needed to embark on their grand adventure. They may feel like they’re making great strides mentally, but that progress isn’t always reflected in the real world. The Astronaut’s goals may stall from poor followthrough or difficulty rallying others behind their vision. Antidote: In order to make the most of their natural agility, the Astronaut must learn how to slow down to translate their bold aspirations into digestible and logical components. To find success, they must buckle down to complete the tasks and responsibilities that aren’t their passion but are still necessary. Growing your AQ skills Even if there were parts of your archetype’s description that didn’t feel 100% like you, don’t dwell on them. The purpose of this exercise is not to match your paradigm perfectly but to give you a thematic lens for self-observation. These archetypes are intended to be maps, not photorealistic portraits, and like the best maps, they allow for many possible routes. The primary goal is to spend time appreciating you. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/05/aq-is-the-new-intelligence-that-highly-successful-people-havehow-to-tell-if-you-have-it.html |
I have come to think about certain things in my journey to the West especially trying to remain 'how I am' so that I maintain being natural and not 'fake'. I later realized that the crop of 'rustic' Nigerians especially those who could not shift from their traditional pronunciation were actually unable (emphasized) to shift ground in their native tongue style phonetic articulations in spoken English. My consciousness was first aroused while I was in Europe, and my first time of dating a girl originally from Europe, a relationship that was almost marred by my thick Nigerian accent (not in the derogatory way) but inability to change certain ways I called certain words. She was not bothered but basic conversations were very strained. And my brother said, if you strain your ears to understand some of her wraps, she should also do the same. But I was the person always getting offended by her own call to 'say that again'. I paused to ask myself a simple question the day I pronounced 'bird' four good times to make her understand 'nnunu' (in Igbo language) or 'eyé' (Yoruba language) and in the sixth attempt demonstrating with my hands formed like flipping wings. The question I asked myself in this parochial cultural chauvinism was who's language is English and how are you supposed to pronounced the words? And then, the Chinese, Italian, indian bla bla bla twangs that also thrive without gusto are all lame reasons to keep being stuck in a haze of linguistic confusion. What those whose embers of mediocrity are fanned by this category of speakers don't know is that they also put ample efforts towards improvements and and at times take secret lessons etc. When I landed Houston International one summer, my first time in the US, the boarder immigration, smiling from his tiny counter (I had skillfully chosen to be checked by the black officer (he must have seen my anxiety). "Where is your final destination in the US"?, he inquired. "Si' tuul!" I spurttered. The look of confusion joined with consternation from his face unsettled me more. He even said "Sii what's?". It was when I started explaining connecting cities and and all that I researched that he felt reassured. He then said ohh, Siaa'rul" (Seattle). I needed no prophet to tell me to refine my phonetics and change the way I say certain things. And there goes another snag in this paradigm. It is a form of withdrawal syndrome where many people will also say that you are showing off. Maybe what happened to the Ugandan legislator that perhaps forgot to "switch back" during a crucial conversation back home in parliament. People often doubt this and feel every anglo American accent is rooted in the propensity to show off. Not true in all cases, in fact, in many cases. Subsisting influence and permanence varies with the period of time you have indulged or the circumstance of unlearning and relearning. While professional presenters have the consciousness of switching between accents, informally immersed learners may find it difficult to switch especially, in my case, where the subconscious went through a tortious realizations and transition. Informal aspects also includes children brought in their formative ages, not necessarily as infants. My son was severally asked to repeat himself though in the politest way. I have heard some pronunciations like 'heir' as 'air', 'shorsh' as 'church' and toning that would be certainly misunderstood buy general English speakers. Do we hold onto these because we want to speak like Dr Okonjo Iweala that had been severally cited as example by those that have not critically listened to her speeches? A woman that makes beautifully paunchy expressions giving each word their right pronunciations? You may have to think again. |
