Nairaland GeneralRe: The Difference Between The Poor And Rich Nations Is Not The Age Of The Nation by wealthtrak: 12:43am On Jun 11, 2021
Blazinraj01:
I saw this Article and I thought I should share for us to reflect and act.

The difference between the poor and rich nations is not the age of the Nation.

This can be demonstrated by countries like India and Egypt, which are more than
2000 years old and are still poor countries.
On the other hand, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which 150 years back were insignificant, today are developed and rich countries.
The difference between the poor and rich nation does not also depend on the available natural resources.
Japan has limited territory, 80% mountainous, unsuitable for agriculture or farming, but is the second in worlds economy. The country is like an immense floating factory, importing raw material from the whole world and exporting manufactured products.
Second example is Switzerland, it does not grow cocoa but produces the best chocolates in the world. In her small territory she rears animals and cultivates the land only for four month in a year, nevertheless manufactures the best milk products. A small country which is an image of security which has made it the strongest world bank.
Executives from rich countries who interact with their counterparts from poor countries show no significant intellectual differences.
The racial or colour factors also do not evince importance: migrants heavy in laziness in their country of origin are forcefully productive in rich European countries.

What then is the difference?
The difference is the attitude of the people, moulded for many years by education and culture.
When we analyse the conduct of the people from the rich and developed countries, it is observed that a majority abide by the following principles of life:

1. Ethics, as basic principles.
2. Integrity.
3. Responsibility.
4. The respect for Laws and Regulations.
5. The respect from majority of citizens by right.
6. The love for work.
7. The effort to save and invest.
8. The will to be productive.
9. Punctuality.
In the poor countries a small minority follow these basic principles in their daily life.
We are not poor because we lack natural resources or because nature was cruel towards us.
We are poor because we lack attitude. We lack the will to follow and teach these principles of working of rich and developed societies.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION;
WE ARE IN THIS STATE BECAUSE WE WANT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OVER EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE.

WE ARE IN THIS STATE BECAUSE WE SEE SOMETHING DONE WRONG AND SAY - “LET IT BE”
WE SHOULD HAVE A SPIRITED MEMORY AND ATTITUDE OF CARING ONLY THEN WILL WE BE ABLE TO CHANGE OUR PRESENT STATE.

AutosRe: Install Car Tracking Devices In Your Vehicles (it's Important) by wealthtrak: 9:08pm On Jun 10, 2021
pickatyou2:
With the high rate of insecurity, car theft and kidnapping. It's best you try to buy peace of mind.
Buying and installing a car tracking device with auto stop/restart features is the way to go, it comes with a lot of benefit which I would list below.

You can always know where your can is at every point by just sending a simple command. It doesn't end there, You can also know if the car is in motion or its just parked somewhere.

You can also listen to conversations being held in the car with a simple monitor command. You will hear what the are saying but they can never hear you.

You can send a stop command to your car at what ever location the car is and it would stop immediately. To start the car once again you just have to send a simple resume engine command.

It also comes with geofencing that way you get email and text notification if you car is leaving a particular location and also exceeding a certain speed limit set

RomanceRe: I Am Scared! by wealthtrak: 11:04am On Jun 10, 2021
OlufemiAbisola:
Have you ever felt timid when talking to someone you like?

Why am I afraid of asking you questions?
Why do I look forward to talking to you and then become speechless when i get the chance to?
Why do I feel intimidated by you?
Why do I feel so comfortable yet nervous around you?

This is not love, is it? I'm quite the out-spoken type. I always speak my mind,what I feel n how I feel it.
That's one of the things my past lovers and my friends like about me. I always put my feelings, any kind, into words.
But now, it's different. I feel like a fool. Stammering and blabbing like an idiot. I feel too vulnarable when am with him. Weak.
After the pleasantries, I hardly have anything to say because these questions, (too personal questions) i want to ask won't let my brain rest.
Yes, I like him. I don't know if I love him but I do like him alot. We are friends. He never indicate the otherwise. Even though our chat is just like that of lovers. Quite personal and sensual, yet he never made mention of anything too close.
I don't want to raise my hope high too. I just want to enjoy the flirtationship that exist between us. Nothing serious attached. No commitment, no nothing. Just the sweet words and cuddles. That's the exact thing I told myself I want. That I need.
Maybe I'm scared of breaking this tight( tight?) bond between us. Scared of saying or asking something that might spoil everything. I don't want to get too personal. I really don't want to. Like i said, he didn't indicate he wants more.

Now that's the issue!
That's what, exactly, I'm trying to avoid. MORE! I think I want more. No I don't. Well, maybe I do. I want it all. Everything that goes with it.
But I have made this mistake once. Asking for more where there was nothing. Am still suffering from the pain it left me. The scars are still fresh.
After all the promises I made to myself, here is history repeating itself. Please don't tell me am in love! Please don't. I don't think so. I don't even think I know what love is anymore. It's just this problem of feeling weak everytime I hear his voice. Thank God for distance! I might just drop dead everytime I see him.

He does urge me to open up but what if I do?
What will happen if he sees am getting too attached to him?
Will he run away just like the other?
Will he stop talking to me?
Will I end up losing in both ways?

I don't like this feeling of immaturity. This feeling of incompetence. This feeling of cowardice. I feel 12 when i talk to him. I wasn't like this before. I want to go back to how it was. Friendship and nothing more.
Maybe I should try avoiding him. No, i won't. I have learnt from experience that 'that' won't work. But I need to find a solution before this get out of hand. Before I hurt myself. Before I lose control. I will need to caution myself. I don't need 'MORE'. I really don't. 'MORE' hurts. I just need to keep reminding myself on that. 'MORE' hurts.

RomanceRe: UBUNJA's MISEDUCATION: (2020) Femininity. by wealthtrak: 12:39am On Jun 10, 2021
ubunja:
How Femininity Works.

PROLOGUE.
Femininity is a woman's True Power. And not many women have it. What many women have is vagina power.

Vagina power is the power a woman has over men that is rooted in men's weakness for her vagina. Men HATE AND RESENT that power. Because it is exploitative - it preys on men's weakness and lack of self control by making them act stupid for the benefit of women.

Femininity is something different.

A DIFFERENT TYPE OF POWER.
First of all femininity DOES NOT turn men on. It is not sexual.

Secondly, femininity DOES NOT mean feminism. Feminism kills femininity.

Thirdly femininity DOES NOT mean "female". Female is gender. Femininity is energy.

All genders carry that energy.

But women carry the most of it.

Femininity is the energy of a woman being fully, proudly and unapologetically woman. It is an atmosphere. A mood. A tone. An aura. A presence. That is carried by "a woman who is everything a man is not". This energy men instantly pick up on and gravitate to. But it decreases when a woman does things that are typically associated with men or she bears traits that are typically associated with men.

Like when a woman puts on hairstyles associated with men (shaved head, Mohawk, short hair), when she dresses like men (revealing clothes, pair of jeans, pants, sneakers, caps), when she does things associated with men (whistling, cussing, swearing, coarse jokes), when she misbehaves like how men misbehave (tattoos, smoking, drinking, going in and out of jail), when she uses the vocabulary of men (words like "bros", "dude", etc), when she uses hand gestures that men use (high five, peace sign, thumbs up sign and gangster hand gestures) and so forth.

All these things carry masculine energy. Meaning they look good on men. But make a woman look less of a lady by making her look more like a man. They block her feminine energy. They make a woman appear like she's one of the guys - "tough", "strong" and "hardened" - things a woman MUST NEVER be associated with if she wants to cultivate her femininity.

A Feminine Woman is a woman in a certain state that brings out certain qualities from within men that other non-feminine women are not able to bring out.

THINK OF IT THIS WAY:
If a woman dates a weak man who can't take charge, is always complaining, blames everything on everyone everytime and never makes any decisions - an effeminate man - she'll find herself taking charge, making all the decisions and being the leader in the relationship. His softness brings out her hardness. His ladylike behavior brings out her manlike behavior.

We have both the Masculine and the Feminine in all of us, regardless of gender. But our gender determines which one has dominance. As does our personal circumstances: For example, a woman living in poverty will be masculine. And so will be a first born daughter. And the single mother. And the single mother's daughter.

SO, when a woman deals with effeminate men who are in their feminine (acting like women), her own Masculinity - long dormant - comes out to compensate for their lack thereof. She's forced to take charge, be in control, run things and solve all the problems - which is something that a woman rightfully resents because it's exhausting and she's not built for it. She ends up tired, bitter, resentful, irritable, short tempered, emotionally unstable and beset by high BP and depression because she's operating under undue pressure.

Feminine men make a woman masculine.

SO IN THE OPPOSITE WAY:
When a capable and manly man deals with an overbearing, aggressive woman who's full of masculine energy obsessed with control, is competitive, argumentative, raw, blunt and flaunts her independence; the man will wilt like a flower, become reserved and take the backseat. That will be him becoming emasculated. Him being forced into his feminine. Because his woman is in her masculine. She's making all the decisions and running the relationship.

When that relationship ends, the next woman that man will date will find him a weak man who can't take charge, is always complaining, blames everything on everyone everytime and never makes any decisions - an effeminate man. His Ex, being masculine, brought out his feminine.

Masculine women make a man feminine.

BRINGING OUT A WOMAN'S FEMININITY.
Now, when a woman dates a man who's in control, who gets things done, a man so in charge of his world that his presence alone makes her feel peaceful, secure and carefree - like the weight of the world has been taken off her shoulders and she feels like a little girl all over again hanging out with her all-capable father, that relationship will bring out a side of the woman that no other relationship before has brought out. She'll be tender, kinder, softer and gentler. She'll be more peaceful, more delicate, more girly, more playful, more colorful, more vibrant, more trusting, more rested and more alive - all this is her entering into her femininity, for the first time.

A woman's femininity is her place of rest. In the sense that she is in her element. Where she must be. Where her body, her characteristics and her mind are in truest harmony.

It is in her femininity that a woman flourishes.


BRINGING OUT A MAN'S MASCULINITY.
When a woman offers a man softness, gentleness, a safe space and harmlessness- when she's not aggressive, not overbearing and not defensive - when she's not bold, not blunt, not direct and not confrontational - when she's not forceful and not headstrong - when she comes tender, delicate, girly and, playful - - - - > which is her femininity, the man will not feel challenged but encouraged. He will find it extremely easy to lead, extremely easy to take charge and extremely easy to be the Head.

He'll find it a joy and an honour to protect, defend and provide for the woman.

Without the woman even asking. Or suggesting it.

The man on his own finds himself acting more grownup and more manly around her. She has that effect on him. By simply BEING IN THE STATE THAT SHE IS IN - which is being feminine.

The man becoming grown up and manly around the woman IS HIS MASCULINITY COMING OUT.

He is entering into his masculine. Because his woman is firmly in her feminine.

This is the power of femininity. It brings out a side of a man no amount of sex, no level of beauty, no number of achievements and no size of ass and boobs cannot. When a woman is soft, her man becomes strong for her. So her softness is not a weakness but her power that makes a man do for her. Her power is SOFT POWER.

FEMININITY IS DYING.
But feminine energy in the world is a dying energy.

Feminine energy is being extinguished by powerful forces in business, civil society, media, sports, politics and government who see it as a relic of the old world incompatible with the values of modern progressive society. Modern progressive society - through Women's Empowerment - encourages women to work for their own money so they don't have to depend on anyone (something good and proper) except for one big problem: Careers are built in the image of men. For a woman to match a man's career success she has to make massive sacrifices in her lovelife, and delay, or even cancel, marriage and child birth.

Furthermore, worklife is optimized for masculine traits. Entering the workforce women have to think, speak, act, dress and function like men - they have to disregard their own feminine traits, like feelings, intuition and unpredictability, because these are a liability in business. Instead they have to be logical, predictable and unambiguous - which floods them with masculine energy.

What woman climbing the career ladder is tender, soft and gentle? What successful woman is girly, cheerful and vulnerable?

Ambitious and successful women bear the hard traits that bring success: Aggressiveness, boldness and they're headstrong. The very traits that define masculinity or what men are. By adopting these traits, women lose their femininity and become masculine.

It is the successful woman who'll say, "Anything a man can do I can do". Which signifies a woman fully in her masculine.

ALSO, FEMININE ENERGY IN THE WORLD IS DYING BECAUSE Femininity is costly.

Here is the strange nature of Femininity:
Poverty destroys femininity. And also Success destroys femininity.

The two extremes are detrimental to femininity.

A poor woman and a successful career woman are both masculine. One is masculine for survival. The other is masculine for success.

Poor girls who have lived perpetually difficult lives develop a thick skin and a whole roster of manly traits to survive. They become aggressive, headstrong, stubborn, direct, argumentative and in-your-face; losing their girliness as manliness takes over. All these they need to survive. And all these are contrary to female nature. Because all these are masculine traits.

Poor girls radiate masculine energy.

They live in the poor side of town of which the poor side of town makes women masculine because there's no safety and it's all about survival. Poor girls dress to be practical. They have no use for makeup. They wear men's clothes and perfumes because "these last". They have the simplest hairstyles that require as less attention - and last as long - as possible (those are usually manly hairstyles). Their nails are never done because it's not practical. They reach their 20s not even knowing how to walk in heels. Their mannerisms, their vocabulary and their attitude is all about survival. Which is masculine.

A girl growing up poor dreams of a Knight In Shining Armour coming in on a horse, sweeping her off her feet, delivering her from poverty and into the lap of luxury. But that fantasy is likely to never come true.
Not because she's cursed with everlasting poverty. But because the cares of life and the constant struggle to survive have erased her femininity. And a girl needs her femininity to pull high value men. To attract men who have money she has to erase every manlike trait she acquired for survival until she's soft, vulnerable and peaceful.

Even in the rags to riches story of Cinderella the Prince first meets Cindie as a princess - someone in the lap of luxury and comfort - who arrives in a nice horse-drawn carriage complete with attending staff, not some sooty sweaty barefoot girl in rags breaking under the burden of kitchen chores. Our girl had to erase all traces of poverty and project luxury.

HYPERGAMOUS FEMININITY VS TRADITIONAL FEMININITY.
Looking luxurious is at the center of Hypergamous Femininity. The gold diggers' femininity.

This type of femininity is achieved through Leveling Up and is costly because its aim is to get money, and to get money you have to look like money. This will involve expensive clothes, moving to the rich part of town and even a woman getting cosmetic surgery. So the women who cultivate this type of femininity reserve it for men who have money to get a return on investment.

On the other hand, women who are feminine because they believe in old school conservative values cultivate "Godly Femininity", "Biblical Femininity" or "Traditional Femininity". Which is a more laid-back, girl-next-door, type of femininity that isn't tied to hypergamy. Something a Pastor's daughter will cultivate.

WORKING FOR MONEY VS MARRYING FOR MONEY.
So, femininity is costly because a woman needs money to be feminine but she can't work for that money herself because working for it will make her masculine, and she can't be poor because poverty also brings out a woman's masculinity.

The more money a woman makes the more masculine she becomes (and the harder it is for her to practice hypergamy because the less men are on her level and the less she actually needs a man). However the more money a woman is given the more feminine she becomes. Because femininity is a receiving energy. Hence the stay-at-home wife will be the MOST FEMININE woman.

A woman who wants to be a businesswoman needs to be masculine because the world of moneymaking is optimized for masculine traits. But a woman who wants to marry a businessman needs to be feminine because masculine successful men respond to feminine women. That is why gold diggers - because they pursue businessmen - are at the forefront of the current Femininity Movement.

HOW DOES A GIRL KNOW SHE HAS LOST HER FEMININITY?
Femininity is a woman being everything a man is not. Female masculinity is a woman being a man. As a woman you know you've lost your femininity when men treat you as "one of the guys".

When as a lady you walk into a room and guys see you but just continue with their coarse, sexist and crass jokes, if as a lady you join a group of men but the atmosphere doesn't change to become respectful and restrained, when they can watch porn infront of you, when they can touch you and tease you anyhow, when they feel free to prank you, when they discuss and articulate the nasty things they did or wanna do to other women - when men do such things in your presence, they no longer respect you as a lady because there's nothing about you for them to respect.

They consider you one of them.

When a Feminine Woman walks into a room, all the fuckery stops. The crass jokes, the pranks, the explicit talk, the porn videos, all stop at once. Because she carries with her an atmosphere of no nonsense. She brings with her a certain mood that gives her dignity that commands men's respect. Her entering sets a certain tone in a room. Men are afraid even to touch her. No guy presumes to greet her with a hug because she presents in such a way that discourages overfamiliarity.

HOW DOES A WOMAN REACTIVATE HER FEMININITY?
Femininity is a woman being everything a man is not. You activate your femininity by accentuating/emphasizing/magnifying that which differentiates a woman from a man. That which women have that men don't have. That which women can do but men can't do.

For example:
Men can't have long nails - you always have classy pretty nails, eg French tips. Remember, the way women look at men's shoes to determine his class, salary etc, men look at women's nails for the same reasons. As long as your nails are not done, you're like a guy trying to impress wearing flip flops.

Men can't have long hair - you're always with a good weave or an expensive wig.
Men can't wear makeup - you never so much as go to the store without applying something.
Men can't wear heels - your shoe collection must centre around high heels. Sneakers and tennis shoes are only for sports and the gym.
Men can't wear skirts and dresses - you throw out ALL your jeans, trousers and pants, and get only dresses and skirts especially in feminine colours and feminine fabrics

But it goes deeper because femininity starts inside...

Femininity is you, a woman, sitting in the car while your man fixes the tire in the rain alone because he must know who to call. Femininity is you sitting in the dark waiting for your man to return from work to replace the bulb. Femininity is never giving your man any money because he has his friends for that.

All this may sound cold and harsh but to keep a man you have to make a man feel like a man by letting him fix problems to impress you. He must see you as useless when it comes to repairing stuff around the house. Because if you get into the habit of fixing stuff guess who'll be left feeling useless - - - - - > your man.

Women don't have any idea how emasculating it is for a man to get home and be told, "the drain blocked and I called the repair man to fix it. It's OK now". YOU NEVER EVER DO THAT. What you tell him is, "the drain is blocked, I wanted to call so and so, but I waited for you".
This activates the hero in him. You're not adding to his burden, you're giving him a chance to save you.
As a woman never let another man save you infront of your man. It wounds his masculinity. The same way it wounds a woman's femininity when her man praises another woman's cooking. Even his own helpful son praised by his mother can leave a man feeling somewhat replaceable.

You have to show a man that you need him because he desires to impress you by being useful to you. Helpful Wives go above and beyond to rescue their man but are always shocked when the man, instead of showing appreciation for their efforts and sacrifices, he rushes off to cheat with some useless bimbo who doesn't even boil water. But the man likes the useless bimbo because she doesn't try to solve his problems for him, which makes him feel like a man when he solves his own problems unaided by a woman.

The more tangible a woman's help is, the more masculine it makes her and the more emasculated her man will be and the more he will cheat on her with someone useless. Which is all kinds of ironic and crazy.

It is also ironic that when a woman financially supports a man, he will oftentimes be disrespectful and abusive towards her. We see it everytime and it's puzzling and goes against all logic - until you understand how masculinity and femininity work.

The core of masculinity is to provide and protect because men are richer and stronger. When a man is provided for by a woman, it may appear like the ultimate relationship for him, but deep down his masculinity feels threatened because he can't provide. And so to assert his masculinity, the man becomes violent to remind his woman that he is stronger - even though she is richer.

LEARNING TO RECEIVE.
Femininity is a receiving energy. Because masculinity loves by giving. This is true regardless of who carries which energy in the relationship. The masculine will provide. The feminine will take.

Many women, especially women who grew up poor, have forgotten how to receive.

I come from a background of poverty. But luckily we had successful relatives who gave us a helping hand here and there.

One of these relatives was a female cousin who was a police officer whose husband worked at a bank. In my younger years this couple, every December, would ask me to housesit their home as they went on Christmas holiday. They would give me money and fill the fridge with food, telling me to take care and not starve myself.

After two weeks they would return to see I hardly spent the money they gave me and barely ate anything from the fridge. It made them feel bad because it made them look stingy. Which they were not.

But I had a hard time accepting their generosity.

The reason I didn't spend a lot of the money they gave me or eat a lot of the food they left me, was because of Guilt. I was so used to being broke and not having enough to eat that when I tried to spoil myself feelings of guilt overwhelmed me. I always felt like I was not worthy. Especially knowing that my siblings back home were surviving on the simplest of meals. That guilt blocked me from enjoying the blessings in front of me.

Suffering and poverty had destroyed my ability to receive. And it sucked.

I had to heal.

Girls and women who grew up in poverty go through this same thing. They have a problem accepting generosity. They feel guilt when given good things because they feel they don't deserve good things because they never had good things.

They have lost the ability to receive.

They need to heal.

Because until these women heal, they can't enjoy masculine men whose joy is in giving.

ubunja:
luwiizy that poverty mindset is a monster that has to be defeated. Too many people are not benefitting from the blessings before them because mentally they are not ready to receive.

It even applies to women and sex. Too many men are used to struggling to get women, and when they meet that woman who wants them automatically without making them struggle first, they can't accept it because they have told themselves the only things of value are those you have to sweat and struggle for. And so these men let perfectly good chances go.

But men must learn to love themselves first. I have a writeup on my phone from almost two years ago on how men must first date themselves for a while before looking for a woman. I will have to update and post it one of these days. Men need to fall in love with themselves first. Then they'll appreciate it when another person falls in love with them.

They are

1. Handling the opposite gender in and outside the bedroom (meaning: you can handle the dramas they bring and you can't be manipulated by them except you wish to)

2. Handled money making (meaning: money issues no longer bother that much you as long as it's not billions of dollars involved)

3. Handled money management (meaning: you don't waste the money you make to impress, but invest them and enjoy the remainder)

Out of these three, which have you handled? Don't lie. If none, you're misusing the Internet and you deserve to be flogged.

Queenrabella:
Hi, Rabella here again or Bella for short. Seeing as this is an anonymous forum; I decided to put this out here to get opinions of others as I am unable to summon the courage to discuss this with my friends or anyone for that matter. Ok straight to it.

I’ve been with my boyfriend for three years, he is the first person I ever had a proper sexual relationship with so I am not very experienced at all. We hadn’t had sex in a while due to distance but fate had it we were able to break that as he now lives in the same city as myself.

So after a few months of no sex, he comes over to mines and things get steamy very quickly next thing, he was on top of me when half way through he held the top of my neck and pressed on it or more like strangled it, I was literally gasping for air then he noticed and stopped. We finished and that was that. No mention of the whole ‘event’ where I was almost suffocated.

I’m really bothered because in all our three years of been together, this has never happened. A lot of things have been going through my mind including if he’s cheating but my problem is he has not ever brought it up in conversation and I don’t know how to confront him about it either undecided

Im really confused as to what this is, am I supposed to have enjoyed it? What’s wrong with just having sex, why did he have to make me feel like I can’t breath huh

Sorry for the epistle.
I look forward to your solutions
Peace and love

A businesswoman, identified as Abimbola Ayanwale, has been killed in Lagos by some yet-to-be identified persons. According to one of her friends, Abimbola had stepped out immediately after receiving a call around 8pm on Monday, June 10, 2019.

However, at around 10:45pm, the CCTV of a shop close to the Maryland Mall captured the moment her body was thrown out of a Danfo bus.

The friend said they believe she was intentionally murdered by someone that knew her, because none of her valuables was stolen, neither was any of her body parts missing. .

The source revealed that her hands and legs were tied up, and she was shot before being thrown out of the bus. Her family members are now calling on the police to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Nairaland GeneralRe: 14 Principles You Must Master to Become Successful by wealthtrak: 1:17pm On Jun 09, 2021
Pg1. July 30, 2018
6. Willpower Doesn’t Work.
“Most people approach goals and personal improvement the hard way. Rather than changing their environment, they strive to overcome their current environment.” -Benjamin P. Hardy
Most people are terrible at achieving goals.

As much at 92% of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions just a few weeks into January.

When asked, most overweight and broke people declare they would like to become fit and financially successful.

But they continue in their unhealthy habits and foolish financial decisions.

Most people are terrible at achieving goals because they rely on willpower to do so.

A simple secret about success is that willpower doesn’t work.

Commitment does.

According to the latest psychological research, your willpower is like a muscle. The more you use it, the more tired it gets. Essentially, willpower is a finite resource that becomes depleted with use.

As a result, your willpower is nearly gone by the end of your long, strenuous days. Suddenly, you don’t even stand a chance resisting that junk food and watching TV.

Commitment is something entirely different. Commitment goes above and beyond your energy, stamina, or how you feel, even after an extremely strenuous day.

If you’re truly committed to something, in your mind, it’s as though you’ve already succeeded. All doubt and disbelief are gone.

“When you commit to an enormous goal that far exceeds your current capability, willpower won’t solve your problem. Rather, you’ll need a new environment that organically generates your goals — a context that forces you to become more than you currently are. Once you design the right conditions, your desired behavior naturally follows.” -Benjamin Hardy
As long as you rely on willpower alone to accomplish your goals, you will never succeed on truly enormous levels.

It is only through an unwavering commitment to a new lifestyle that truly allows you to accomplish extraordinary things.

7. Consistency Beats Intensity.
“Long-term consistency beats short-term intensity.” -Bruce Lee
In 1974, boxer Muhammad Ali was scheduled to fight George Foreman. Foreman was considered by many observers to be the favored to win the fight due to his superior punching power. He was stronger and more experienced than Ali.

Rather than try to match Foreman at his own game, Ali adopted a different tactic, which became famous in their “Rumble in the Jungle” fight. It was called the “rope a dope” technique.

During the fight, Ali put himself in a protected stance, put his back against the ropes of the ring, and let Foreman punch him relentlessly.

At the time some observers thought that Ali was being horribly beaten and worried that they might see him get killed in the ring.

But the ropes on Ali’s back allowed him to absorb the punches without taking a lot of damage. While Foreman exhausted himself fruitlessly attacking Ali, Ali was waiting for the moment to strike.

At the end of the 8th round, Ali knocked out Foreman and won.

Often, the stronger and faster opponent gets beaten by a weaker, slower adversary.

How?

It’s because in the long run, it’s not about intensity — it’s about consistency.

This is the essence of Angela Duckworth’s groundbreaking book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. In short, it is not the individual with the greatest starting position or motivation that usually wins — it’s the person who has the most “grit.” The person who can last the longest.

The individual who is able to make a stronger commitment to maintaining their course despite whatever happens…

This is the person who will reach their goal.

Will Smith, critically acclaimed actor and producer, was once asked about his motivation and how he got to become to successful.

“The only thing that I see that is distinctly different about me is I’m not afraid to die on a treadmill,” he explained.
“I will not be out-worked, period. You might have more talent than me, you might be smarter than me, you might be sexier than me, you might be all of those things you got it on me in nine categories.
But if we get on the treadmill together, there’s two things: You’re getting off first, or I’m going to die.”
Success is all about consistency.

It’s not about never falling down — it’s about getting up every time you fall down.

“You will fall. And when you fall, the winner always gets up, and the loser stays down.”
-Arnold Schwarzenegger
Most people rely on short, intense bursts of inspiration and motivation in their attempts to be successful. Maybe they read an inspiring weight-loss story, or just watched Gladiator.

After this inspiration, they act like a crazy person — they work tirelessly, day and night. They go to the gym 6 days in a row for two weeks, they write 5,000 words for their book, they throw out every piece of junk food they have in their house.

But what usually happens to these people?

The same fate that befalls nearly 92% of individuals who make New Year’s Resolutions: they give up a couple weeks later.

Enthusiasm is common.

Endurance is rare.

“Fall seven, rise eight.” -Ancient Japanese Proverb
8. Success Means Choosing Education Over Entertainment.
“Your level of success will rarely exceed your level of personal development, because success is something you attract by the person you become.” -Hal Elrod, The Miracle Morning
Choosing to learn instead of being entertained is a trademark characteristic of successful people.

Mastering success means learning to love being a small fish in a big pond. Most people don’t want to admit those three little words…“I don’t know.” Instead of choosing to learn, they reject the opportunity and instead go back to entertaining themselves.

But achieving your ultimate life requires a tremendous deal of learning. It requires an intense dedication to gaining knowledge, learning important lessons, and receiving teachings that add to your wisdom, experience, and education.

Some of the greatest and most successful minds of our time are also voracious readers. They make time for their education.

Warren Buffet (worth $74.4 billion) advocates to read hundreds of pages a day.

Mark Cuban (worth $3.4 billion) dedicates three hours a day to reading.

Bill Gates (worth $90.2 billion) reads 50 books a year, nearly a book a week.

Elon Musk (worth $15.2 billion) is an avid reader that claims he learned to build rockets by reading books.

The most successful people of the world don’t spend their precious and most potent time binge-watching TV, playing excessive video games, or partying into drunken oblivion.

The extraordinary people of this world dedicate massive amounts of time and money into investing in themselves.

This is done through reading books and blogs, attending conferences, seminars, webinars, and trainings, participating in “Mastermind groups,” collaborating with others, and working with several mentors.

Successful people choose education over entertainment.

Odds are, your life’s greatest work requires you to close the wide gap between what you know and what you don’t.

In the words of Benjamin Foley, “The goal of life is not to relax on the beach, sipping mojitos all day. The purpose is to find something you love that also adds value to the world.”

If you want to find that purpose, and actually start creating and doing work that impacts the loves of thousands…

You’ll need to get educated.

If you want to be extraordinary and successful, choose education and learning over entertainment.


9. Everyone’s First Draft Sucks.
“The first draft of anything is shit.” -Ernest Hemingway
I have a friend who is writing a novel.

It’s his first novel, and he works very hard on it. In fact, he’s been working on it for years. Sometimes I check in with him to see how it’s going. It’s usually going “alright.”

Here’s the thing he doesn’t understand:

His first book probably won’t be that good.

And that’s OK. His second and third books will probably be better.

But he’ll never know if he never publishes the first one.

I’ve written 2 eBooks so far. The first one sold exactly zero copies. The second one sold about 20 copies.

I imagine my next one will sell a little more. Same goes for the one after that.

My first 2 eBooks weren’t that great. I put a lot of work into them — a lot. But I also clicked “publish.” Most people never do that. They spend years building this intricate, almost-perfect creation that’s never quite “done.”

They don’t realize they’re only prolonging their own success.

Most people want to be wildly successful on the first try. But this almost never happens.

Everyone’s first draft isn’t that good. That’s because we haven’t learned what “great” is yet. We are not able to produce great work without first producing a lot of crap.

In the words of renowned radio host Ira Glass:

“All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not.
A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work.
It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions.”
My friend would do far better for himself if he simply published his book, accepted some criticisms and the fact that he didn’t immediately make the New York Times Best Seller list…and start on his second book.

It will probably do better than his first book did. Same goes for his 3rd and 4th books.

Success isn’t about creating; it’s is about consistently practicing quality actions. Every day. Over and over. Unsexy, boring work.

Michael Jordan didn’t become great while on the court of his widely-publicized games. And Michael Phelps didn’t become the most decorated Olympian of all time solely through his widely-publicized Olympic appearances.

These individuals became great alone, in practice, every day, for years. Over, and over, and over.

“Champions aren’y made in the ring. They are merely recognized there.” -Joe Frazier
Everyone’s first draft sucks.

Get over it, publish it, and try again. Your second draft will be better.
Nairaland GeneralRe: 14 Principles You Must Master to Become Successful by wealthtrak: 1:08pm On Jun 09, 2021
Pg1. Post: July 30, 2018
Success isn’t complicated.

But like financially illiterate individuals can’t understand how to become wealthy, or health-illiterate individuals can’t understand how to lose weight, success can look impossible to achieve.

But success — true, lasting success — is within your grasp. It is possible. It is available, to every person, at this moment.

Right now, you can make a decision to become a student of success. You can start on a journey that will take you to a future where everything you want is possible.

The principles to get there aren’t easy, but they are simple.

If you want to achieve true, lasting success in your life — the kind of success that will be the foundation for your life’s legacy — you need to master these 14 principles first.

1. Most People Will Never Be Successful.
“Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. Don’t wish it were easier; wish you were better.” -Jim Rohn
Sadly, although anyone can choose to become successful, most people never will.

This is because when it comes down to the final word, most people will choose comfort over growth. Ultimately, they see the price for true success and say, “no thanks.”

This is one of the most important characteristics of the “mediocre majority” — they are unwilling to trade comfort and stability for the pain of wild growth.

Success costs you.

To reach higher function, you must be willing to become a child again, to learn and grow in new avenues. You must constantly be willing to become a small fish in a big pond again.

Most people simply aren’t willing.

The simple truth is, everyone could become healthy, happy, and fulfilled, starting right now, as you’re reading this. It is a choice that is available at all times. Yet, most people never take it.

In the words of Warren Buffet: “That’s how knowledge works. It builds up, like compound interest. All of you can do it, but I guarantee not many of you will do it.”

The choice to become 100% financially independent is available now.

The choice to have extremely rewarding and intimate relationships with your friends and family is available now.

The choice to become fit, active, and healthy is available now.

The choice to experience intense and complete emotional healing is available now.

But most people won’t take it.

Each of these avenues has a high cost. They require you to change your life. To shed old habits and adopt new ones. To sever ties with toxic individuals. To admit “I don’t know.”

Benjamin Hardy put it this way: “Anything is possible if you are willing to pay the price.”

Many people make these decisions every day, and change the trajectory of their lives, and their family’s lives, forever.

But many, many more people never make this choice.

They continue to live in ordinary, average lives, just like everyone else around them.

And in the words of Seth Godin:

“Is there a difference between ‘average’ and ‘mediocre?’ Not so much.”

2. Evolving is Painful. That’s Why Most People Don’t Do It.
“Arrogant or critical people are often people with low self-esteem who are afraid of taking risks. That’s because if you learn something new, then you are required to make mistakes in order to fully understand what you have learned.” -Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad Poor Dad
Evolving is painful.

Becoming a better version of yourself requires time, energy, humility, and study.

Evolving means constantly becoming a child again. You must become a young, teachable student again, over and over.

You must constantly be admitting, “I don’t know.”

There is so much you don’t know that will be revealed to you over the course of your studies and self-discovery. And the most helpful way to “grease the wheels” of this journey is to remain humble and open to correction and teaching.

The worst thing you can do is insist you already know everything.

Michelin-star chef Gordon Ramsay had a show called Kitchen Nightmares where he would audit a struggling restaurant’s food processes.

There was a particular episode where a failing restaurant was led by a stubborn and arrogant chef who refused to change his menu or learn new tricks.

Ramsey came in and began cooking marvelous new dishes for the restaurant. He prepared a particular sea bass dish for the owners, which they loved.

However, the chef refused to try the dish. “I already know what sea bass tastes like,” he argued dismissively. “I’ve been cooking for 38 years.”

Instead of learning a free, valuable lesson from a world-class expert, this man chose pride over growth.

This is how most people react to criticism — defensiveness and immaturity.

Instead of humbly admitting they don’t know everything and gratefully accepting wisdom and teaching from experts, they choose pride and stagnation over humility and massive growth.

Evolving is painful. Most people simply choose not to do it.

But once you decide to become someone who is open to correction and teaching, you become an unstoppable force.

If you shift your mindset into being an open, thirsty mind that is hungry for knowledge (and humble enough to accept correction), you’ll become more capable than 90% of the population to achieve massive success.

“Every next level of your life will demand a different you.”-Leonardo DiCaprio
What got you here won’t get you there.

Mastering success means mastering the art of constantly becoming a better version of yourself.

This is done through slow, deliberate choices, and is sped-up exponentially through being humble enough to accept correction and teaching.



3. The Obstacle is the Way.
“Within every obstacle is an opportunity to improve our condition.” -Ryan Holiday, The Obstacle is the Way
The ancient stoic philosophers like Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus all ascribed to learning how to turn challenges into triumphs.

It was Aurelius, emperor of Rome who first penned the thought, “the obstacle is the way.”

Aurelius had to deal with problems you and I don’t typically face — assassination attempts, betrayals by his top advisors, and the incessant efforts of his enemies to overthrow Rome.

What he learned through all of this was not to run from problems; in fact, they are exactly where you should go.

It is through solving difficult problems and overcoming frustration and fear that allows you to develop patience, poise, and peace in the most dire of circumstances.

The reason so many NFL teams, CEO’s, and personal development coaches have been studying the philosophy of Stoicism in recent years is because solving these obstacles directly (instead of running away) is exactly how to become a stronger, faster, smarter, and more poised person.

Becoming successful often means an entire transformation in many parts of your life. The relationships, finances, health, and personal habits of successful people often look radically different the the average person’s.

This change is difficult. Evolving is painful, so most people don’t do it.

But for those who truly desire to become successful, the obstacle — fear of rejection, frustration, setbacks, anger, impatience…

This is exactly where you need to focus your efforts.

4. Growth and Comfort Cannot Co-Exist.
“You can either step forward into growth, or backwards into security.” -Abraham Maslow
Growth means learning. It means working, doing, creating, resisting, failing.

Comfort means safety. It means stability, protection, pleasure, and feeling good.

Growth cannot happen as long as you choose comfort over learning. Growth and evolution are incubated in pain and discomfort.

Most people choose comfort over pain, and so remain in average, mediocre lives.

If you want to succeed and experience true, lasting success, you need to know that all the necessary growth and evolution you must experience cannot happen while you’re comfortable.

There is so much you need to know and need to learn. The path to success is paved with obstacles that can only be overcome by reading books, gaining mentors, failing and trying again, and learning from your mistakes.

These cannot happen if you continue to mindless numb yourself through TV and drugs, sleep in longer than you should, or cling to what is “easy” instead of what is “challenging.”

Growth and comfort cannot co-exist.

If you want to become a new, better, healthier, richer, stronger, smarter person, it cannot be achieved while you choose comfort over growth.


5. Becoming Extraordinary Means Giving Up a “Normal” Life.
“If you want to live an exceptional and extraordinary life, you have to give up many of the things that are part of a normal one.” -Srinivas Rao
If you want to experience true success and become extraordinary, it means you must give up many parts of a “normal” life.

Nowadays, “normal” means a lot of things.

“Normal” means buying things you don’t need to impress people you don’t like with money you don’t have.

“Normal” means binge-eating an entire pizza while binge-watching an entire season of a TV show.

“Normal” means sleeping in as late as you can. It means doing what others tell you to do. It means following conventional advice, never leaving the safety of the herd.

Normal is “the way things have always been done.”

But “extraordinary” is something quite different.

If you want to live an extraordinary life, that means you’ll have to start acting very differently from how everyone else is.

One of the most basic tenets of becoming extraordinary is simply having the courage to go against the tide.

In the words of Benjamin P. Hardy, “Ordinary people seek entertainment. Extraordinary people seek education and learning.”

Extraordinary means buying books, online courses, and conference memberships instead of buying alcohol, doodads, and luxuries you don’t even need.

Extraordinary means saying “no” to merely good opportunities and waiting for the truly great ones.

Extraordinary means investing your money in assets, not liabilities. The wealthy don’t become wealthy by sitting on their hands — they spend enormous amounts of time becoming extremely financially literate and make their money work for them.

Extraordinary means becoming fit and healthy so your body and mind are able to function at extremely high levels so you can produce work that can truly change the world.

Extraordinary means devoting the majority of your time learning and investing in personal development.

Most people don’t prioritize the characteristics of the extraordinary lifestyle. Being extraordinary means doing things others won’t.

“Would you be as successful if you followed all the rules and always behaved and never took chances? No, you’d be just like everyone else, scared about failing and worried about being liked.” -Tim Grover, personal trainer of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant
RomanceRe: 10 Women Reveal The Best Questions They Were Ever Asked On A Date by wealthtrak: 5:53pm On Jun 07, 2021
Post: May 12, 2018
Having great questions ready for every date can help her open up—and maybe get her laughing. Sharing intimate details—and laughter—can help you spark a connection, research finds.

One smart line of inquiry: Ask about her job. “People love knowing that you take their work and ambitions seriously,” says psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman.


Another idea: Fire off whimsical questions, like what, as a child, she wanted to be when she grew up. If that makes her laugh and open up, keep the offbeat questions coming. Unexpected topics can provide more insight into her personality—and opportunity for flirtation—than typical get-to-know-you chatter.

“Someone once asked me what my Shark Tank idea would be. (It’s Chipotle, but for Eggs Benedict. I’d call it Arnold.) It was great because it’s unexpected. It’s a fun way to get insight into how someone’s mind works and what they like to think about, and it opens up a conversation rather than ending it.” – Alana R.

“My boyfriend asked me about my ambitions. That turned into a full-blown conversation about what we’re both looking for, not just in relationships, but in life. When that aligns, I find the first dates to be much more successful.” – Viv C.

“The most memorable [question] was when my boyfriend asked me which weird Tinder pickup lines people were using on me, so we both started sharing. It helped break the ice, and then I realized how funny he was. Then when he started asking about my siblings, I knew he was there for more than just a first date.” – Sarah L.

“My favourite question to be asked on a first date is about where I love to travel. It opens the conversation up to talk about so many related things, like culture and cuisine.” – Kati S.

“This might sound a little silly, but I would want someone to ask me about my name. Not in the ‘Oh, your name sounds exotic’ way, but sincerely inquiring about the meaning of my name, its origins, and the importance of the name within the family. Maybe it’s too much for a first date, but it holds a lot of significance for me and would show that someone is actually interested—and curious—about who I am.” – Saba A.

“I really liked when one guy asked me for the latest concert I’d been to. It’s much better than ‘What kind of music do you like?’ because that’s just so generic. . . . But the concert question is specific, and then you go from there. You can get into a good story when you have a great opening like that.” – Suzee S.

“I would love if a guy asked me what my all-time favourite book was. It’s a dorky but easy question that shows he is literary! A guy that reads—whether it’s WWII non-fiction or Sci-Fi—shows that he likes to continually learn and expand his depth of knowledge. That’s sexy. Plus, I can launch into a conversation about To Kill A Mockingbird any time, so it’s a great conversation starter!” – Sara A.

“One time, someone asked me why I considered myself to be an introvert. I liked that he asked that because it showed that he was really listening to me and trying to understand me as a person. I had been talking about being nervous about networking because I’m introverted, and then I told a story, but he went back to the introvert comment. After that, I knew he was thinking about what I had actually said instead of just waiting to tell his own anecdote.” – Jules C.

“If you could jump into a pool of anything, what would it be?’ If a guy asked me a super random question like that, I’d definitely give him points for coming up with it and it would be a fun way to start a conversation.” – Beth D.

“What’s really impressive is when guys ask a niche question. I’m a local government reporter, so I do a lot of stories about boring and jargon-y policy things. I remember one guy asked me specific questions about stormwater management, which I never get to talk about because no one cares. Any guy that cares about the Chesapeake Bay Cleanup Effort is gold.” – Cindy H.

PoliticsRe: Anyone Seen Outside During Sit At Home Should Be Killed - Nnamdi Kanu. by wealthtrak: 3:09pm On Jun 07, 2021
MyopicMods:
IPOB Sit-at-home: Condemnations trail Nnamdi Kanu’s threat to South-east residents
Mr Kanu threatened death to anyone who fails to observe the sit-at-home order.

Condemnations have trailed the threat issued to people of South-east by the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu on the sit-at-home order.

Mr Kanu had in a broadcast declared that the sit-at-home will commence 6p.m. on Saturday till 6p.m. on Monday.

He said the order is compulsory and must be obeyed by all the people in the region. He warned that anyone seen outside will be killed.

“From 6p.m. on the 29th, there will be no movement, this is not sit-at-home but no movement. If you are found outside from 6p.m. you are dead,” he said.

Those who reacted on Saturday condemned the threat by Mr Kanu, stating that it was wrong to threaten the lives of the same people he claims to be fighting for their freedom.

Others noted that the exercise is voluntary and warned Mr Kanu to stop using coercion to get the people to comply.


One of them, Augustine Igboji said that by threatening the lives of the people, IPOB is confirming the terrorist tag given to it by the federal government.

He said, “Nnamdi Kanu started as a freedom fighter. His agitation was termed peaceful agitation for actualisation of Biafra. He is often lamenting that the federal government is denying Ndígbo their fundamental human rights. He claimed the ESN was formed to protect the people.

“But today he is threatening death to anybody who flouts the sit-at-home order telling them that it is longer voluntary but compulsory. Telling people not to move around is a denial of their fundamental human rights.

The trauma and burden of hostile policing, By Cheta Nwanze

“Threatening them with death or attacks if they flout the order is close to terrorism. And if anybody is attacked on that day, well, let’s pray nothing like that happens.

“But let me just say that Kanu and IPOB are fast descending into an anarchist organisation. Something close to a terrorist group which the federal government branded them some years back.”

Mr Igboji said the IPOB leader risks losing the support of the people if he did not retrace his steps. “You cannot lead people with fear. That is not leadership but slavery,” he said.


“At some point, the people will revolt against you too. Is this how he will lead Biafra if he gets it? By brute force? This is how despots start. I will rather remain in Nigeria than follow such a leader,” he added.

Another person, Emmanuel Nnaemeka, believes that Mr Kanu and IPOB are slowly turning into a monster which may consume the region.

“We are creating a monster that may consume us soon. I listened to Nnamdi Kanu’s threat online and I was shocked. I started wondering what the leadership of Biafra would look like.

“He threatened that his boys would kill anyone that dared to step out of the house that day. Is that how they will rule Biafra? To use gunmen to threaten people into doing everything they say?

“Nigeria may be more peaceful than Biafra with the way these people are going about this thing. Many of us might not see it now but when the time comes, we will all live in fear. God forbid that Biafra will come through people who have the blood of their brothers in their hands. How can we be acting like people without sense?” he said.

A lawyer, Steve Nworie, said Mr Kanu and IPOB failed to take note of the fact that some persons will be on essential duty and need to move around especially journalists and health workers.

He said, “There is a palpable fear across the South-east because of the numerous messages of death by the leader of IPOB against anyone who dares to come out on Monday 31st May, 2021.

“While I will personally obey this stay-at-home order because I am convinced that it is the right thing to do, I am particularly concerned by the blanket coercion deployed by Nnamdi Kanu and his team.

“Certainly, there are so many Igbo sons and daughters who out of no choice of theirs may be forced to be on the road on Monday, how do we justify their deaths when the ‘supreme leader’ has said that not even a rat will be spared alive if it is seen on the road across the South-east?

“How about essential workers whose lines of duty are so essential for the well-being of Ndi Igbo? Do they deserve to die in their line of duties? How about those who are forced out on the road due to unexpected emergencies that are totally beyond them? Do they deserve the death penalty by the Biafra militias?”

Mr Nworie warned Mr Kanu to desist from such threats.

“History is the greatest teacher of mankind and history abounds of leaders who extracted followership by coercion. They never end well. For us to achieve the Biafran project, we must be ready to respect the right to life and property.

“Killing of our own people will never restore Biafra. Sit-at-home is a welcome idea but forcing people to obey the same is unacceptable,” he said.

IPOB has been agitating for an independent state of Biafra to be carved out of Nigeria’s South-east and parts of South-south.

Security officials have been the targets of deadly attacks in Nigeria’s South-east and South-south regions for several weeks.

The facilities belonging to the Independent National Electoral Commission in the two geopolitical zones have also been set ablaze in similar attacks.

IPOB has denied accusations that it was responsible for the deadly attacks in the two regions.

Follow my adventure, share my passion, tell me your experiences at https://v7place.com/index.php?board=31.0

I knew little about Crypto Currency as of January 1st 2021. Not that I hadnt heard about it: I had, I just didnt believe in it, didnt understand it, thought it wasnt worth it-all depending on when you asked me. 11 years ago, I turned down 1000 bitcoin someone wanted to pay for something I was selling. It was junk to me. If I had taken it and not used it-it would be worth $60 Million by 2021. Well one couldnt blame me, how many people took it serious in 2010. 1000 Bitcoin then was worth about $80 ,I took cash instead for what I was selling.

I wasn’t the only person then who didnt take Bitcoin or Crypto seriously; almost everyone including many of those who owned it then saw it as more as a hobby-not real money. Non computer people didnt even know it existed!

I made my first Dogecoin purchase on Feb 12th at a LIMIT price of 0.085 cents. There’s a difference between LIMIT & MARKET PRICE.

I was about a week late in the sense that I had been hearing about Dogecoin, but was reluctant following my disappointment with Bitcoin. I had invested $250 into Bitcoin on January 3rd and Instead of seeing my $250 ( N110,000) become $500 ( N220,000) IN DAYS I saw it drop to $240 IN HOURS,

then $230;

then $220;

It was painful and disappointing.

It climbed back up a little, but never went beyond $280. And I was not impressed.

I heard been hearing about Dogecoin since December and by the time I entered in February ; it had made a 1900% increase. Meaning if I had put $1000 ( N450,000) in around November 2020; I would have seen my money turn to $19,000.

From Feb 12th when I got into Dogecoin; it had slowed down. I watched the price fluctuate from 0.054 to 0.058 –not much to gain when you invest $1500 (N675,000).

Then THE WEEK happened!

From Saturday April 10th to Thursday April 15th-it was crazy. I was cashing out profits every hour (a method I use) and from my $600 balance ( I had already cashed out much of my initial investment getting frustrated with slow returns) I made a total of $2400 ( N1 Million +)-all just using my phone.

Even when it began to fall after the 15th; and people were saying its over; I still found a way to cash in ( bought at dips, sold at peaks).

Even though its gone down in the last 2 weeks, going as low as $0.16; I have still been able to cash in. This week I made $700 on Tuesday and Wednesday ( about N415,000). All this based on my little investment. There are people who made more.

LOSSES
I have made many losses before Dogecoin. I have been trading in lesser known extremely volatile coins

Filecoin
Bancor Network Token
Civic
Ankr
Storj
Celo

I was always chasing the wind with those ones and lost at least N150,000-but now I am wiser.

Happy to hear the experiences of people especially with Dogecoin.


BitCoin
King Of Crypto
Has increased in value by 414,000% in 11 years. If you had put $1000 in it at the beginning in 2009/2010-your $1000 would now be worth over $45 Million

Ethereum
2nd In Command
Rising fast. In one year; has grown from $100 to $2500

DogeCoin

4000% Increase in Just the First 4 Months Of 2021

Cutejay:
I am in a confused state right now infact am tired of getting my heart bashed this is the 2nd worst hit.
I need your advice please friends! In one of my post i talked about a guy i was dating who has a kid,after everything i agreed to stay not minding if he has a child or not cuz he pleaded with me not to leave cuz he loves me and wouldnt marry his baby mama cuz he doesnt love her and i truely love him so i agreed.
It started in december last year after the child ish,i checked his facebook account and there was a lady he used in his profile picture,i asked him he said she was just a friend i said ok. Then on the 12th of december he opened a new facebook account without informing me which i later found out, i asked him why he did that and he didnt respond,i let it go. On the 1st of jan this year i logged on to facebook and decided to go through his new account though i am not his friend there i went to his wall,only for me to see the same lady in his profile pic. I got upset and asked him who she was and he said why am i disturbing myself over nothing,untill now he has'nt told me who she is to him. I sent him a text today only for him to call and say i shouldnt worry that nothing is happening but its obvious they have something together and he doesnt want to say i suspect something. My annoyance now is that when we started dating 6months ago i asked him if he had someone and he said no, i asked that cuz i wanted 2 clear my concience and i was single at that time i met him and i just graduated from the uni when i met him he is 34 and i am in my early 20's,i didnt mind the age difference cuz i loved him. I have never cheated on this guy,i trusted him,i was everything but content with him,i never asked him for anything he does it at his will,i was ok with that. Now this is all i get BETRAYAL. Why are men like this? I have decided to let him go though it hurts i will try. I am a good girl but right now i want to be bad cuz my goodness hasn't paid off i dont need anyman around me anymore. Please advice me before i take my final decision.

HealthRe: The African Black Soap Hack For Growing & Grooming Beards by wealthtrak: 10:35pm On May 05, 2021
MyBeardGang:
A month ago, I went visiting a friend at Lekki.

On getting to his house, I stumbled on his wife using a Black mixture to shampoo her hair. My curiosity drove me to inquire whether she wanted to dye her hair since, obviously, the mixture seemed black and I had never seen a black mixture that lathers before. Only for her to tell me she is using the African Black Soap to *shampoo* her hair.

I was surprised. Was there a liquid African black soap for Hair? The ones we know are the DuduOsun, SheaMoisture of this world that works on our skin. I am sure you know about this too.

She went further to burst my bubble. She told me, even her husband uses the African Black Soap Shampoo as his Beard Wash. My eyes popped out of their sockets shocked shocked and I decided to try it my own way, being a beardking. LOL!

Hence, research started.

I got home, decided to check out the friendship and eventual marriage between the African Black Soap and the Beard.

You'll be surprised at what I found about the African Beard Soap for beards:

Unlike the synthetic soaps, you would find at drugstores, the black soap is handmade from plant-based ingredients in Africa.

Produced mainly by women, especially in Nigeria, the common ingredients usually employed to use during the manufacturing of the African Black Soap are ash of African plants (especially from cocoa pods, plantain skin, etc.), shea butter, palm oil, coconut oil, etc.

Is African Black Soap Good for Beards?

I never thought of the African Black Soap for beards. And I dug further into the properties and realized *perfecto*, Our organic African product for the beards of the regular African man.

Without attempting to beat around the bush, the answer to this question is YES. The African Black Soap is good for the beards. Factually, the African Black Soap offers a great deal of importance to the beard.

In other words, this substance is an underrated gold in the business of beard-grooming!

Just in case you want to know the properties of the African Black Soap that makes it suitable:

1. Moisturizer

The African Black Soap is also a beard moisturizer. Recall that when mentioning the ingredients from which this soap is made, Shea Butter was made mention of.

The presence of this Shea Butter in the African Black Soap is what causes it to act as a moisturizer. Fine, Shea Butter is known more for helping in relieving itchiness and all, it as well adds moisture to our beard.

2. It is Anti-inflammatory

The African Black Soap is anti-inflammatory. This is caused by the presence of some essential vitamins in the soap.

Black soaps have been tested and confirmed to be very rich in Vitamins A and E. With these vitamins, the African Black Soap can combat efficiently, free radicals and attacks on the beard. And/or otherwise, attacks on the underlying skin tissues of the beard.

3. Combats Acne


While on the course of mitigating against itchiness, irritation, and all, the black soap also helps in fighting acne.

In other words, while ensuring that the underlying skin of the beard has a balanced level of natural and essential oils in other to stimulate proper beard growth, the African Black Soap helps in repairing damaged skin cells.

4. Safe for All Type of Skin

African Black Soap is good and safe for all type of skin.

Perhaps you possess a sensitive skin or maybe a dry skin, just name the kind of skin, which might be off-point for some kinds of beard washes, then you need not worry any further, as the African Beard Soap suits just every skin type.

This soap is naturally free of fragrance. It is always a win-win situation with the African Black Soap.

There's more to the functions of African Black Soap but I will stop here for now. All Bearded men on Nairaland should note that it is important they do away with the regular soaps they use for washing and shampooing their hair and beards and jump on the Black Soap.

Remember that you need to be careful when using the African Black Soap though it may strip your beards or hair of its oils when you use it frequently, and that is why it is always advised to immediately use a Beard Cream after washing or shampooing your beard/hair.

This is a product that we will soon be making for all bearded men and *bearded men to-be*, as we have decided to go on this journey to creating something different for the African Man.

Away with foreign imported products that do not suit our African Hair. All the ingredients we need for hair grooming are all around us and it is important we leverage African Products for the African man.

Do you need more information on how to grow and groom your beards? Feel free to send me a DM or check out beard grooming issues.

CultureRe: Igbos Should Be Warned Before Harm by wealthtrak: 10:10pm On May 05, 2021
funmijoyb:
I ask my igbo brethren who tried to use the death of the Ooni to ridicule the entire YORUBA race, those who invented the "Abobaku" joke and who even went as far as sharing pictures of half naked Ethiopians as ILE IFE aborigines, what do you really stand to gain by making enemies while you should make friends?

The YORUBA race, is a race deep in culture and perhaps has the most documented religion known world wide originating from Africa. Every culture has unique practices, the English have theirs, the Arabs do, the Jews do, but culture is dynamic and in many ways evolves. To see fellow Africans try to make sport of the entire heritage of a people, smacks of a deep inferiority complex.

Sarkin KANO Ado Bayero died, the entire nation honored him, prominent igbo leaders like Ojukwu died and we all honored him, but Benjamin Adekunle (Black Scorpion) died and Igbos started to mock him, then SIJUWADE Olubuse dies and it is the same mockery from the same quarters? We YORUBAS might not even like SIJUWADE as a person but the stool of Oduduwa he sits on must be revered.

Once more, I ask my many Ndigbo brothers who take delight in denigrating others and insulting others values (and who mostly can't even tolerate honest criticsm of their actions) if you remember the saying "as you price you pay"?

It is impossible for a group of people to continue to openly tell me how much they hate my race or people and then expect that those same feelings wouldnt be mutual after some time, let's not lie to ourselves nobody has monopoly of madness, foul tongue and general disregard for others. I will see the usual, "why igbo" come here and preach but I really don't care, because I know I am saying the TRUTH.
