Politics / The New Nigeria National Anthem by Sbfplus(m): 7:09am On May 30
Nigeria šŸ‡³šŸ‡¬ National Anthem Changed.
The old anthem, ā€œNigeria, we hail theeā€, composed when Nigeria gained independence on October 1, 1960, has replaced the ā€œArise, O Compatriotsā€ anthem.

Lillian Jean Williams, a British expatriate who lived in Nigeria during its independence, penned the lyrics for ā€œNigeria, we hail thee,ā€ while Frances Berda composed the music. The anthem played a significant role in shaping Nigeriaā€™s national identity and unity during the 1960s and late 1970s.

What are the lyrics to Nigeria We Hail Thee?

Nigeria, we hail thee,
Our own dear native land,
Though tribe and tongue may differ,
In brotherhood, we stand,
Nigerians all, and proud to serve
Our sovereign Motherland.

Our flag shall be a symbol
That truth and justice reign,
In peace or battle honourā€™d,
And this we count as gain,
To hand on to our children
A banner without stain.

O God of all creation,
Grant this our one request,
Help us to build a nation
Where no man is oppressed,
And so with peace and plenty
Nigeria may be blessed.

A boy was selling groundnut to FCMB footballers who were about playing a novelty match. The MD was in attendance and everyone was in a joyous mood.

They called the boy and asked him to sell all the groundnut to the footballers. After he gave them the groundnut , he was asked the price and he said everything was N2,100.00k, Ladi asked his PA to give him 10k but the small boy refused saying he doesn't know how to explain to his mom where he got 10k instead of 2,100.

He refused the money that his mother will not accept it. Ladi was touched, he collected the money back from him and asked him to go and bring his mom.

The mother was afraid and was crying but Ladi told him what happened and how impressed he was with the boy's upbringing. The boy was eventually given a scholarship for his uprightness and integrity.

This boy's father is late and was brought up by his mother with other siblings. Despite their condition, he still held on strongly to their family values.

My submission, everything is from the home, if the home is good, the society will be good and if the home is bad, the society will be bad.

All our societal and national problems started from the home. Overall, the family system has broken down.

Romance / Too Late To Be Corrected by Sbfplus(m): 11:10am On May 23
Where are you coming from by this time of the night?

He thundered.

Honey you won't believe what happened today. Oh God I'm so tired right now. She replied as she yawned.

I asked where you are coming from and you are vomiting rubbish.
Does that answer my question? Are you trying to pretend you don't
know there's no food in this house?

He said fuming.

Honey I'm sorry but you should hear me out first. I....

Before she could complete that sentence, a thunderous slap kissed her left cheek and she passed out on the sofa.

Get my dinner ready, after that you will tell me why you switched off your phone.

He said as he walked towards the bedroom.
When he noticed there was no response from his wife, he was infuriated.

He rushed towards her to unleash the rest of the demon in him but on getting close to her, he discovered she has passed out.

He was shocked. Cold sweat appeared on his forehead and raced down his temple.

Fear gripped him.
He began to panic. He dashed into the bedroom, picked his car key and darted out of the house to open his car.

He rushed back into the house almost immediately, lifted his wife and headed to his car.

As he made to start the ignition, the car key fell off his hand. He was visibly shaking.

Picking up the car key proved to be a difficult task to him as he couldn't get hold of it.

He succeeded but had to use both hands to start the car ignition. His
shaky hands turned against him. His heart was racing.

He couldn't hold the steering firmly but he managed to drive his way to the hospital.

Getting to the hospital, he alerted the nurses. His wife was rushed into
the emergency ward.
He became restless.

After about five minutes, his doctor appeared to him. Good evening Mr Collins. Good evening doctor, how's my wife?
He said with great panic.

*Your wife was here few hours ago. She brought your mum to the hospital before going home and if she had been ten minutes late, your mum would have died,*

*She wanted to alert you but her phone battery went flat. I would have called you but she said she will notify you when she get home.*

What really happened?

The doctor asked.

*Doctor, is my wife okay?*

*He asked with teary eyes.*

*"Your mum is in the other ward Mr Collins."*

The doctor replied.

He couldn't hide his impatience as he gripped the doctor's shirt.

*"What about my wife doctor? Is she okay?"*

The doctor managed to pull his hands off his shirt before letting the cat out of the bag.

*"I'm sorry Mr Collins, your wife couldn't make it.* *She's dead.*

He was shocked.

Cold shivers ran down his spine.

He began to shake.

Hot tears welled up his eyes and as he made an attempt to speak, they raced down his cheeks.

Liquid fluids leaked out of his nostrils and wetted his lips. His shirt became drenched with sweat.

*He wanted to man up but he couldn't.*

*He groaned in pain and let out a mad shout.*

*"Noooooo!!!"*

*But then, it was too late to correct his mistake.*

*He should have heard her first as requested by her.*

*He should have controlled his anger.*

*He shouldn't have laid his hand on her.*

*He should have been patient with her.*

He shouldn't have....

*But he didn't.*

*It was too late to apologize.*

*Don't make such a mistake.*

*SAY NO TO DOMESTIC VIOLENCE!!!*

*let love lead*

*Stop Fighting*

*Stop Domestic Violence*

*Be an Understanding Husband and Wife.*

*The only difference between ANGER and DANGER is "grin"*

*And that D* *represents* *DESTRUCTION, DAMAGE AND DEATH*.

*May God always help us to control our emotion rightly. Amen*

You are free to share to other groups that you belong to. Someone may need it to have a rethink and a change of heart.

The above is a great warning to husband and wife who cares to learn.

Lesson for couples that always engage in fighting and beating all the time.

Romance / Women Are Rare Gem by Sbfplus(m): 9:48am On May 21
I am reviewing and formatting this book ā€œOMUGWO, a first time mum's Guide To a Successful Delivery and postpartum careā€ By Nurse Raji Blessing Akhigbe which will soon be launched and I saw so many things that even women don't know about themselves.

Imagine a ā€œhusband stitchesā€.

What is husband stitches?

It's a stitch done on women to tighten their vagina so that the husband can enjoy sexual Intercourse afterward.

Even many women don't know this which has resulted in experiencing pain during sexual Intercourse...like several years to the next childbirth....is it really necessary?

If the vagina is left unstiche, will it affect the sexual pleasure from both sides? Hmmm! No wonder Africans lack many things because we don't read....

Does it mean I would lose my husband as a result of losing my virginity?

Well, ask Nurse Raji

Romance / Why Do We Choose Violence In Our Marriage by Sbfplus(m): 3:57pm On May 15
Should we wait till it all results in bullying before we make corrections in our marriage?

My female friend told me how her friend was brutally abused in her marriage.

This has been a repeated action until one day that the man beat the woman till she fainted.

He left her for work. Around 6pm, she woke up and rushed to prepare herself for work. Only to have found out that it was late already.

She checked her phone and had gotten several missed calls even from their children's school. She ran to pick the children and call her place of work just to lie.

Guess who she is?

A barrister!

The man came back but didn't even show any remorse. The woman was ironing her childrenā€˜s school uniform and she suddenly had the thought, so, if I die, that is the end.

She went to where her husband was sitting and pressed the hot iron on his cheek and hand. She ran to her friend.

She only returned the following day and since then, the marriage takes the good shapes it is supposed to take.

Then, I ask, why do we choose violence in our marriage

Jobs/Vacancies / We Spend Money Everyday; Why Can't We Make Money Everyday by Sbfplus(m): 3:39pm On May 15
A man whose reward for labor is based on salary is limited to being wealthy. Expenses are not fixed; it keeps coming daily but salary is fixed.


This made me ask if there has been any wealthy man who amassed wealth through salary?

The inspiration behind this write up stems from my personal journey. I may not claim to be a genius, but I certainly don't consider myself a dullard either.

I've been part of the workforce, earning a salary since 2002, which means I've spent 22 years in this role as of this year (2024). However, despite the years of toil, I find myself in a state of financial constraint.

Perhaps, like many salary earners, I've held the belief that incremental increases in our salaries equate to financial growth.

This notion often traps us in jobs longer than necessary.

Unfortunately, when that awaited salary raise finally arrives, the cost of living has already surged, rendering the increase insufficient.

My personal story is one of overdue rent payments, mounting electricity bills that made me to be hiding for my landlord, especially weekend when I know he would be around, a damaged door net that invited all sorts of rodents into my room, and a leaking roof that turned my bed into a soaking sponge during rainy nights.

Even the television in my room wasn't mine; it was on loan from a neighbor who happened to be an electrician and frequently reclaimed it for work.

The state of my footwear mirrored my financial struggles; I had mended it so many times that the cobbler promised to replace it instead. Can you believe it?

I even engaged in numerous savings schemes, hoping to establish some financial stability. However, before each month ended, I had managed to spend more than I had, resulting in me borrowing money to fulfill my contributions.

Each time I received my share, it went straight into paying off debts.

Observing my successful neighbors and friends, I noticed that they weren't solely reliant on a fixed salary. This realization led me to question: if my expenses aren't fixed, why should my income be?

To the best of my recollection, I consistently earned nothing less than a B grade in all of my financial courses during my academic years. I even extended a helping hand to many peers in solving their financial coursework while in school.

However, in the grand scheme of life, it turned out that they were the ones aiding me in tackling my financial challenges. What an ironic twist!

This serves as a reminder that the concept of "school" extends beyond the four walls of an educational institution; it encompasses any situation you may encounter in life.

Despite my academic distinctions in financial courses, I have encountered real-life financial setbacks akin to academic "carry overs."

As one of my sayings goes, "Behind every successful salary earner, there is an income in disguise." We find ourselves spending money daily, so I pose a simple question: why can't we make money daily? Is that too much to ask? I firmly believe the answer is "No."

I used to rely solely on my fixed salary to tackle unexpected expenses that cropped up.

Then, one day, I paused to ponder a crucial question: Can you name any successful person who amassed wealth as a salary earner? As far as I know, I couldn't find a single example of a billionaire who became wealthy by working for someone else.

Even Frederick Winslow Taylor, the pioneer of scientific management, stated that a salary earner is compensated only a fraction of the value of their services.

It's a fundamental principle. So, if achieving wealth through a fixed salary isn't the path to financial success, what is it?

The answer is remarkably simple.

WE SPEND MONEY EVERYDAY; WHY CAN'T WE MAKE MONEY EVERYDAY is an ebook that explains with real life stories how one can understand the interplay among the financial variables.

It's very affordable and rich in financial information.

Romance / Religion Perspective Of Sexual Intercourse In Marriage by Sbfplus(m): 2:37pm On May 13
When you mention Sex, people see it as a sacrilege and see anybody who is discussing it openly as a dirty person.

Funny enough, some people believe you're not holy if you are having sexual intercourse despite that it is with your wife.

Leaving this major topic not discussed, especially when our religious scholars didn't talk about it, has caused more harm than good.

I am also one of the religious scholars. So, let me help you save your marriage. Before I nail my point, Let's briefly look at this real-life story.

A man who had courted his wife for two years eventually turned the wife into a punching bag and subjected her to all forms of maltreatment even after giving birth to children.

After much counseling, he opened up that the wife doesn't know how to ā€œknackā€ as he presented.
He loved her because she was good at church service and very devoted.

Being a relationship counselor, I have heard of a related case that they were both religious beings but the husband wanted another style of sex. The wife saw it as unholy. Anything aside from missionary is unholy.

That led to lots of problems until proper counseling took place.

What is my point exactly, sexual intercourse should be discussed between husband and wife, and make sure they work towards making it perfect for both to enjoy.

If your wife doesn't know how to make love, teach her and vice versa.

Switch between sexual positions do any style, and place in your room or parlor. The only thing my religion forbids as a Muslim is anus sex.

Having sexual intercourse with your spouse is even an act of worship in Islam.

You're rewarded for it because if you do it with someone else's, you'll be dealt with.
It's among the greatest sins in Islam.

MouthAction is allowed in as much as you're not putting your mouth in each other's private part It is called: a microphone or Plate.

Hence, romance your spouse, kiss, etc.
Do doggy, do anything with your wife aside from the ones prohibited and in as much as it is your wife.

You can see each other's unclothedness. You're one but make sure no eyes see you guys and don't ever discuss with your friends how sexually active your partner is.

No home is perfect and it's also a big sin!
Any scholar that sees this topic as impure should comment with facts.

Save your marriage!

Marriage is a significant life event that can bring about various changes in individuals. Here are some reasons why people may change after getting married:

1. New Responsibilities:

Marriage often comes with new responsibilities, such as managing household tasks, financial obligations, and potential caregiving roles. These added responsibilities can lead to changes in priorities and behavior.

2. Shared Decision-Making:

In a marriage, decisions are often made jointly, considering both partners' perspectives and needs. This collaborative decision-making process can influence personal choices and behaviors.

Family / Guiding Your Child To Triumph Over Fears And Phobia by Sbfplus(m): 11:00am On May 10
Introduction:

Navigating the choppy waters of childhood fears and phobias is a journey every parent will face at some point. From the universal dread of darkness and imaginary monsters lurking under the bed to more specific anxieties such as arachnophobia or acrophobia, childrenā€™s fears are varied and deeply felt. Understanding and addressing these fears compassionately and effectively is crucial in helping your child develop resilience and confidence. This guide offers a thoughtful approach to support your child through their fears and phobias with proven strategies that promote emotional strength and well-being.

Understanding the Root of the Fear:

The cornerstone of effectively helping your child is to first comprehend the underlying causes of their fears. Engage in open and calm discussions with your child to unearth what triggers their anxiety. Active listening plays a vital role hereā€”pay close attention to their expressions of fear without any judgment. Validating their feelings by reassuring them that it's perfectly normal to be frightened underscores a supportive environment.

The Power of Gradual Exposure:

Armed with an understanding of your childā€™s specific anxieties, you can begin to gently expose them to their fears in a non-threatening way. This method, known as desensitization, should be tailored to your child's pace and comfort level. For instance, if dogs are the source of fear, you might start by looking at pictures of dogs, then escalate to watching videos, and eventually, visiting a calm dog. Each step should be approached gradually, ensuring a feeling of safety and control.

Consistent Reassurance and Support:

Throughout the process, itā€™s essential to shower your child with reassurance and emotional support. Encourage them to express their feelings and thoughts about their fears, and commend their bravery in facing them. Highlight the progress they make, no matter how small, and reassure them that with time and effort, they can master their fears.

Avoiding Counterproductive Tactics:

It is crucial to avoid any forceful confrontation with their fears or dismissing their feelings as trivial. Such approaches can exacerbate anxiety and reinforce the fear rather than diminish it. Patience and empathy are your best tools, allowing your child to advance through their fear at a pace that does not overwhelm them.

When to Seek Professional Assistance:

If your childā€™s fear or phobia becomes debilitating, affecting their daily activities and quality of life, it may be prudent to consult a child psychologist or a therapist specializing in childhood anxieties. Professional guidance can offer additional coping strategies and support, tailored specifically to your childā€™s psychological landscape.

Conclusion:

Empowering your child to overcome their fears and phobias is a profound gift that will serve them throughout life. This journey requires patience, understanding, and a tailored approach that respects their individual emotional needs. By following these guidelines, you can help your child transform their fears into stepping stones for growth and success, fostering resilience that will empower them far beyond childhood.

By providing a nurturing pathway through the shadows of fear, you not only strengthen your child's ability to face challenges but also deepen your bond with them, making it an enriching experience for both of you.

Romance / Facts About Women by Sbfplus(m): 8:16am On May 09
A WOMAN will BLOCK you, DELETE your NUMBER and tell you never to CALL her again and still expect you to CALL her. It's only WOMEN that can explain it better..

In the midst of an ARGUMENT with her, don't bother exchanging WORDS with her because it's not her that's SPEAKING, instead LISTEN to her, and let her continue VOMITING. And when she's COOL, EMBRACE her and let her know how much you LOVE her.

LISTEN BRO, a WOMAN that truly loves you doesn't behave NORMAL, at times she behaves like an EVIL though in a GOOD WAY, she will BLOCK you on WHATSAPP, FACEBOOK and still use her FRIEND'S FACEBOOK ACCOUNT to see how you are HOLDING UP.

They may BREATHE FIRE and BRIMSTONE in front of you and breakdown in TEARS in a CORNER. Their HEARTS are SOFTER than a NEW BORN BABY'S FEET honestly. Until you realize and understand that most WOMEN SPEAK in OPPOSITE MEANINGS whenever they are MAD and ANGRY at you, then you will forever fall in same trap of counting your EX'S.

A WOMAN that truly loves you will have a FIGHT with you, SLEEP on the same BED with you and give you SPACE for 10PEOPLE in the MIDDLE, but still be TURNING SLOWLY to CHECK if you TURNED your back at her or FACE her. I laugh when I hear MEN say they don't UNDERSTAND WOMEN, my brother how can you UNDERSTAND someone that was CREATED while you were SLEEPING. HELL NO.

What am trying to say is don't act upon ANGRY WOMEN'S WORDS. Most of the times, this GENDER don't really mean what they say.. Truth is WOMEN are wonderful creatures, they're like SALT, their presence may not be felt but whenever they leave, everything becomes tasteless. FEAR WOMEN. This GENDER that will stand in front of a MIRROR just to CRY and CHECK if she is CRYING BEAUTIFULLY.

May God give our MEN MORE UNDERSTANDING

Celebrities / A True Love Story; 2face Idibia by Sbfplus(m): 11:53am On May 08
When DJ Anyaloko....the journalist interviewing 2Face Idibia asked him why he chose to marry Annie Idibia out of all the women in his life ?
He relaxed back on his sit, took a deep breathe in reflection and gently answered her with this:

ā€œYou see, Perro Adeniyi who gave birth to my first son graduated from a top UK University as a medical student and is now a doctor.

She is very beautiful and intelligent from a very wealthy familyā€. He continued ā€œSandra who gave birth to my other two kids is a dealer in expensive diamond and gold jewelries. She was already a multi-millionaire when I met her, she owns one of the most expensive houses in Banana Island. Her family too are very well to doā€. He took another deep breathe and continued ā€œSumbo who gave birth to 2 kids for me is also a very intelligent first class Lawyer. She has worked on and won many big cases for so many wealthy men and women in this country and abroad, thatā€™s how she made her money and she Too is very beautiful as wellā€.

Then with a loving gentle smile on his Face he took another deep breathe and said this ā€œBut you see Annie is from an average background like myself, we both started from nothing. She stuck by me through it all. When there was no car she hopped on bikes, took the bus and trekked with me, when there was no money or house or hit songs or or millions of albums sold or big awards and accolades, when I used to repeat just 3 sets of clothes, she would always hold my head, look into my eyes and tell me things will be fine one day. When I wasnā€™t handsome, she would call me her Prince Charming, when I wasnā€™t celebrated, she called me her KING and said she is my number one fan and to this day she still is. Even when I made it big as a musician and started misbehaving and controversies almost destroyed my career, she would go down on her knees and pray to God to show me the way and give me victory over my enemies.

Now if I was still that poor boy struggling to make it like every other young chap on the streets of Lagos, do you think a Doctor, a Lawyer and a multi-millionaire business woman will want to look at me twice or even have my kids? NO. So to answer your question, I didnā€™t chose who had more to offer me, I chose Annie because she offered me her all when we had very littleā€

Romance / Dont Test Your Spouse's Loyalty With Your Friend by Sbfplus(m): 9:38am On May 08
Trust is the cornerstone of any strong relationship. However, the idea of testing a spouseā€™s loyalty using your friends might cross someoneā€™s mind if doubts and insecurities begin to surface.

But could this method do more harm than good? The answer is a resounding yes.

Hereā€™s why you should think twice before setting up such a test.

1. It Undermines Trust

Testing your spouseā€™s loyalty by using your friends can significantly undermine the trust between you.When trust is damaged, it can be very challenging to mend.

If your partner discovers that the situation was a setup, it might lead them to question your intentions and integrity.

Why would you need to test them if you truly trusted them? This can lead to a vicious cycle of mistrust and game-playing that can be toxic for any relationship.

2. It Places Your Friends in an Uncomfortable Situation

Asking a friend to flirt with or show romantic interest in your spouse puts them in a very uncomfortable position.

It forces them to act deceitfully towards someone they likely consider a friend, or at least a friendly acquaintance.

This could not only strain your relationship with your spouse but also with your friends. Friendships could be jeopardized over being part of such a scheme.

3. It Can Lead to Misinterpretations

Even the most straightforward scenarios can be misunderstood. If your friend approaches your spouse under the guise of testing their fidelity, your spouseā€™s reactions could be misinterpreted.

What if they are simply being polite or friendly? Such actions could be seen as inappropriate interest, leading to false accusations and unnecessary drama.

4. It Creates Emotional Strain

Imagine the emotional turmoil and stress such a test could create for all parties involved. Your spouse might feel violated or betrayed if they ever find out about the test.

Your friend might feel guilty for deceiving someone they care about. And you, the orchestrator, are left managing a situation that could spiral out of control at any moment. The emotional wellbeing of everyone involved is put at risk.

5. It Doesnā€™t Solve the Underlying Issues

If you feel the need to test your spouseā€™s loyalty, it suggests there are deeper issues at play. Perhaps there are underlying insecurities or unresolved conflicts that need to be addressed.

Setting a loyalty test does not tackle these root problems. Instead, itā€™s important to communicate openly with your spouse about your feelings and concerns.

A healthy relationship is built on honest and direct communication, not tests and traps.

6. It Can Lead to a Breakdown of the Relationship

The potential fallout from testing your spouseā€™s loyalty is severe. If the test leads to misunderstandings or reveals mistrust, it could irreparably damage the relationship.

The feeling of being tested can make your spouse feel less loved, respected, and secure with you, which are all fundamental to a thriving relationship.

Conclusion
Testing your spouseā€™s loyalty with the help of your friends is fraught with risks and can lead to a host of negative outcomes.

It can undermine trust, put friends in uncomfortable positions, lead to misinterpretations, create emotional strain, fail to address underlying issues, and even result in the breakdown of the relationship.

Rather than setting traps for your partner, focus on fostering a nurturing environment where open and honest communication is the norm.

Trust is earned and maintained through consistent, supportive, and respectful behavior, not through tests and deceit.

They are doing so because they are emotionally attached to you. That does mean they pray to have someone that has this kind of disposition like you as husband.

If something doesnt favour you, it doesn't mean it is generally bad. Maybe those men should check their selves too.

So, check this no perfect man, no perfect woman and no perfect relationships
Savedday2:
I want to kindly plea with all the married men, please I beg you all, divorce your wife immediately. They are not worth marrying. All they do is add more Borden to your life so that you can die quickly.

The only thing our girls are good for is to use and dump them.

I wish I can come to each of your houses one after the other to beg you so you can divorce them because, the suffering of all the married men is too much. I pitying our married men so much.

Yesterday I saw one of my married friend, I was move to tears . 9ja girls, why are you all evil?

Romance / The Power Of Body Language In Dating: What You Need To Know by Sbfplus(m): 11:17am On May 07
When dating, the way you use body language can be as important as the words you say. Your posture, facial expressions, and movements all constitute body language. Gaining an understanding of it can improve your connection with your date. What you should know about dating body language is as follows.

1. Smile

A smile is a powerful tool. It shows you're friendly and approachable. When you smile genuinely, it can make the person you're dating feel more comfortable and open.

2. Eye Contact

Making eye contact shows you are paying attention and interested in what the other person is saying. However, too much eye contact can make someone uncomfortable, so it's important to balance looking at them with occasionally looking away.

3. Posture

Standing or sitting up straight shows you're confident. Leaning slightly toward your date can indicate that you are engaged in the conversation. However, leaning away might suggest you're not interested.

4. Mirroring

Mirroring is when you subtly copy the gestures or posture of the person you're talking to. It can make the other person feel understood and close to you. For example, if they lean forward, you might lean forward too.

5. Pay Attention to Their Signals

Notice the body language of your date as well. Are they smiling, making eye contact, or mirroring your actions? These are good signs. But if they cross their arms, avoid eye contact, or turn away, they might not be as interested.

Conclusion

Understanding body language can help you read the feelings and interests of your date better. By using positive body language, you can also show that you are a warm and inviting person. This can make your dating experience more enjoyable and successful.

Romance / Types Of Men In Relationships Or Marriage by Sbfplus(m): 7:02am On May 07
Relationships are complex because people are different. Here's a look at some types of men you might encounter in relationships or marriage.

1. Mr. Rigid

This man always thinks he is right and hardly ever says sorry. Dealing with him can be tough because he doesn't like changing his mind, which can stop a relationship from growing.

2. Good Time

This type loves to have fun and enjoys light-hearted moments. He can make a relationship joyful but might not handle serious situations well.

3. Jealous Type

A jealous man finds it hard to trust and may want too much control over his partner.

4. Physical Fighter

This man uses physical force in arguments, which is dangerous. This behavior breaks trust and safety in a relationship.

5. Shoulder Man

After a heartbreak, this man isnā€™t looking for love but needs someone to support him emotionally. He leans a lot on his partner for comfort.

6. The Actor

He loves attention and wants to be admired. While he can be charming, his need for constant validation might take away from deeper relationship needs.

7. The Boss

He likes to be in charge and often tells his partner what to do, which can cause unfairness and upset feelings.

8. The Servant

This man does whatever his partner wants and doesn't speak up for himself. This can lead to him feeling unhappy and unfulfilled.

9. The Brag

Always bragging, this man tries to impress others a lot, which can make it hard to connect with him on a deeper level.

10. The Player

This guy enjoys dating multiple people and may not be ready for a serious relationship. He can be charming but might not stick around for long-term commitments.

11. The Perfect Man

He seems ideal in many ways, being caring, successful, and supportive. However, he might set unrealistically high standards, making it hard for others to feel comfortable or authentic around him.

Conclusion

Knowing these types of men can help you understand your relationship better and work towards a happier life together. Recognizing these traits can be a step towards better understanding and harmony.

Romance / Re: Why Do Nigerians See Anyone Who Can't Speak English As Illiterate? by Sbfplus(m): 11:51pm On May 06
It is because an average Nigeria dont check their Dictionaries. They get meanings of words from what majority are saying.


Anybody that calls someone illiterate because that fellow cant speak; it means the former is qualified illiterate....

Romance / Parental Alienation: The Problem And Solution by Sbfplus(m): 10:25am On May 05
Introduction

Parental alienation, a troubling issue in families, occurs when one parent influences their children to dislike the other parent. This leads to strained relationships and emotional distress. Let's explore the problem and its solutions.

The Problem:

1. Kids Feel Bad: When parents try to turn their children against the other parent, it makes the kids feel sad and confused. They love both parents, but they feel like they have to pick sides, which isn't fair and makes them feel guilty and anxious.

2. Relationships Get Hurt: Parental alienation damages the relationship between the kids and the targeted parent. Trust goes away, they stop talking, and sometimes they don't talk at all anymore.

3. Lasting Effects: Parental alienation doesn't just affect kids when they're young. Grown-ups who went through this as kids often have a hard time trusting people, feeling good about themselves, and making good relationships when they're older.

Solutions:

1. Learn to Co-Parent: Parents can go to classes that teach them how to work together even after they're not together anymore. These classes can help them understand that the kids come first and that they need to get along for their sake.

2. Get Help from the Law: Courts can step in to stop parental alienation. They can make sure both parents get to see their kids and give consequences if one parent tries to keep the kids away from the other.

3. Get Therapy: Families going through parental alienation can get help from therapists. They can help kids talk about their feelings and help parents learn to trust each other again.

Conclusion:

Parental alienation negatively affects families and children. Through understanding and seeking assistance, we can create healthier family dynamics. Let's strive to build loving and united families.

Nairaland / General / Life After School by Sbfplus(m): 12:57pm On Jun 06, 2023
Life after School[center][/center]

As students in primary or secondary school, we were often asked about our future career aspirations. Most responded with professions such as doctors, lawyers, and accountants, while others mentioned trades like barbering, carpentry, and tailoring. Never once did anyone mention a desire to become an armed robber or prostitute.

However, as fate would have it, we may run into these same people years later in random places like on the street, at a hair salon, or at a gas station. After exchanging pleasantries, we may find ourselves curious about what happened in their lives.It may sound like a scene from a Nollywood movie, but it's the reality of life.

As we ponder, we ask ourselves: how did people end up doing what they once despised? The answer may vary, but one thing is certain: dreams can either fail or become achievable. Today, we may be at our best, so let us hasten to help someone else. Tomorrow holds many uncertainties, and only time will tell what it brings.
