Some girls have eyes for guys with good and quality things. They easily fall for guys that meet up to their standards, they find it hard to resist them. 

A guy that doesn't possess what most of these girls want, will find it hard to win the girl over. Nowadays, the standards and taste of most girls are high and only guys that can meet up with their taste and standards will easily win them over without stressing themselves

Most girls find it hard to resist guys with these 5 things, number 4 is common.

1. Guys that are caring and nice.
Girls have a very elegant heart unlike guys, they are easily driven by what they see. When a guy shows them, love, take care of them nicely and sweetly, they will easily find it hard to resist them when the guy asks them out. Girls find it hard to resist guys that are caring and nice.

[s]2. Guys that know much about them.[/s]
When you're too close with a girl, you almost do everything together, and you're always together, if you ask her out, she will find it hard to resist you. Since you know almost everything about her, she will see no reason for you guys not to be together. Girls will find it hard to resist guys that know much about them.

3. Guys that are God-fearing.
Girls find it hard to resist guys that are God-fearing. If you are a guy and you play a very important role in the church, girls will always want to be around you. They know a God-fearing guy will never hurt them physically and he will never make things hard for them. God-fearing guys will always be irresistible to girls.

4. Guys with cool cash.
Who doesn't like money? I don't think there is any girl that will resist any guy with money, even if her heart is like a stone. "Money isn't everything, but everything needs money" and that's why girls find it hard to resist guys with cool cash. Don't be deceived, if you don't have money, you will find it hard to maintain your relationship.

5. Guys with swags.
A guy that knows how to dress well, look good, will find it easy to win a girl over. You see, girls like it when a guy has swags, they fall for it big time. Girls find it hard to resist guys with swags.
Add yours.

Remove No 2, replace wt "Guys that talk like parrots"
Girls like gisting. So if u can talk from morning till midnyt none stop, u're a girl's BFF.
As for point 2, u can only know a girl as much as she wants u to. In fact if u know a lot abt her it means she likes u already. Otherwise all u'll get is "yes" "no" "hmm" "hmm hmm"

Nigerian Police being unprofessional since 1648
Someone on nairaland once said he feels happy whenever these miscreants in uniform fall dead. Yes we all insulted that fellow...why? Well, because we feel policemen have families too.
.
.
Hush!
Wait a moment and judge yourself.
Let your own words create a fluke of reminisce within you.
This man with a broken skull have no family?
The many Nigerians that are slaughtered daily have no family?
.
.
La familia! They do!! It goes without saying!!

Their family groans in pain every single moment...the torment is forever, the pain is eternal.
Gifty Akita once said...
"What shall it profit a man to dance like a python but swallowed whole by an earthworm? Everyman is free to do evil but let him know that the evil shall be upon his own head"
.

There is an old Palestinian poem that said:
"A child less than nine
With a people from the Nile
In the nights he stood against the tanks
With a stone he aimed at the armies.
Do you know who is stronger?
It is not the adversaries that taketh the soul
Nor the armies with guns and bayonet s
But the child with the pebble
Who, with hope,
Fought a tank with a pebble."
.
.
.
One day, guns will no longer be enough to stop the common man.
I can only wonder what their next weapon will be.
One day, the child of a slain man will rise to the killer of his father
The uniform of our police would no longer mean a thing... The guns of the army might fail them and yes...
.
.
SARS will finally dance to the music.
...the music of sarz on the beat.
.
.

If you are a uniformed personnel reading this,let your mind flash back to that bribery, that rape, that extortion, that innocent kill...
.
.
Imagine that they were your own children.
Feel the pain... Feel their pains.
...yes...like that,may you feel their pains continually.
.
.
#forever

E for make sense if say u no put that ur Palestinian quote.

Jesus!!

I told you so.
Two things are involved: physical or spiritual (am sure of the latter)

I see nothing spiritual abt this.
All that's happening is a long term big secret that those in the know are making frantic efforts to conceal.
Abeg make we no dey "spiritualise" everything.

Godlovesyou28:


I can't even hold my tears back, my heart is bursting out. I don't even know why I feel this amount of pain. My birth certificate says I was born in a private hospital that don't exist(I have gone there and its an office complex) and mother's name, occupation and signature is that of my mum(now step mum).

My dear, it's sounding like u're abt 2 open a can of worms. Trust me, u may hate ursef more if u find out d truth. Sounds more like ur current mum has bn in d pix from d outset. Sounds to me like an unpleasant away match

If this story is true, then the only matured person in that house is your brother, and you need to learn fast from him b4 you even toast any lady let alone settle ddown for one.
1. You have a tendency to have temper tantrums & you may end up being a wife beater.
2. There's some degree of egocentrism in you. See you asking for Self contained. You no even ask for face me I slap you.

It doesn't matter discussing the inadequacies of ur sis-in-law & her siblings on this platform, since that ain't gonna change anything. Buh it takes 2 to tango. If you work on your own end of the misdemeanour, problem is 80-90% solved.

Lol,was so surprise myself
Had to check Wikipedia

Obviously not. They're ed on the abdomen , not on the chest.

obembet:
Arthur will become the 13th player to star alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The 23-year-old midfielder will link up with the Old Lady at the end of the season after a fee of £66million was agreed.

Messi vs Ronaldo is arguably football's biggest rivalry - and you're in one camp or the other. The verdict on who is the best will rage forever, but who better to judge which one comes out on top than those who have played with them?

Here, SunSport looks at the other 12 players to have graced the pitch with both and finds out which one they preferred.



Henrik Larsson
Swedish legend won the Champions League with Messi, early in the Barca star's career, and played 13 times alongside Ronaldo during his loan spell at Old Trafford.

But Larsson knows who he'd choose, saying: “Cristiano is unlucky to be playing at the same time as Messi.

"Ronaldo is a very good player, but Messi is even better.

“He is out of this world. He’s so good that it’s almost incredible.

"When you see him with the ball at his feet it’s hard to believe that anybody else could do the same. He’s a fantastic player to see.”

RESULT: Messi

Gerard Pique
Pique played with Ronaldo early in his own Man Utd career and is now a long-serving team-mate of Messi at the Nou Camp.

He has his favourite though, saying: “Cristiano is a perfect machine, a hard worker who always wants to improve.

“I always said that Messi has some talent that no one has.

"For me it’s like Messi is not human but [Ronaldo] is the best of the humans.”

RESULT: Messi



Who is the winner?
WITH six draws from the 12 players, many were either unsure of who is truly better or unwilling to rock the boat.

But of the six who did commit to giving an answer, FIVE chose Messi, with just one player picking Ronaldo.

Who do you think is the greatest?

Source: https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/12023011/ronaldo-vs-messi-debate-players/amp/

Henrik Larsson's comment is the only objective comment. Others either played club side football wt one & national football wt the other or were either current or past team mates of one or the other, hence their assessment cannot be said to be unbiased.
I'll pick Messi over Ronaldo anyday, anytime, anywhere though.

Cheating is for whoever decides to cheat. I personally do not care if my partner cheats. Shes serving. Na her life (and body) not mine. I choose to live my life the way I feel is right and embraced by the society.

Las Las there are implications to whatever decision we make in life.

Then wen she carry gbege transmit am 2 u, it becomes ur lives & ur bodies.

goodman41:
I met her when she came for her IT at my place of work. One day I collected her number but I didn't call her till she finished her IT and went back to school.

One day I called to inform her that I will like us to go into a relationship which she accepted. I told her that l'm not looking for a girlfriend but a wife. I asked her if she has a boyfriend but she said yes but she will never marry the guy because there are some things she will consider in of marriage.

I called her to visit me but she was doing promise and fail. I told her that I'm not inviting her for sex that sex is nothing for me. She said okay, that I should send transport money, I tried using my phone to transfer 2k for her but it was not going, so I told her that it was not going she said I should go and use ATM but I told her that I don't have that time that she should borrow from her roommate and come or she should forget about coming until when I will be able to use my phone to do the transfer. So that evening she called that she will come the next day being Sunday that she borrowed money from her roommate.

When she came on Sunday I put movie for her and kept my self busy with my laptop, she started feeling sleepy which I told her to go and sleep on the bed which she went, after I was through with my laptop I asked her if I can her she said yes, I now ed her in the bed before we knew it we started kissing and romancing each other and we had sex.

After the sex she said that but you told me you don't like sex I told her I like sex but I don't take it serious. She said okay I understand. I now took her out spent like 3k, the following morning I gave her 4k for her transport and she was happy.

After one week she called that I should send her airtime I told her that am not sending she said okay without being angry, when she visited for the second time she asked why did I refuse to send her card I told her that I don't like sending card to people she said okay. So am seeing her as people, i told her don't worry any time I feel like I will send to her, but she said if i send it that she will send it back to me.

I asked her about her boyfriend she said that she has ended the friendship but my mind is telling she is lying, she cleaned my house and cooked for me before going back to school that she doesn't want me to be eating outside, she asked me to give her money to do hair which I gave her 3k for both her transport and the hair, she said the money is small but she Will add her own so she collected it without any issue.

Am not the type that use to call every day but she asked me to be calling her every day to make our relationship grow stronger, she was telling me the other day that she will visit me one day without telling me to see if I have another girl.

Please is this girl really serious with this relationship or she just wants to use me?

Are you sure u're not the one trying 2 use the girl?
After u tricked her 2 coman take banana then started behaving funny.
Bros, change ur ways.

General Outlook
1.Africa seems to be suppressing the curve so far. It looks like it might escape the worst of the pandemic, but will have to be cautious about it.
2. Possibility of W Curve – i.e. There is a good chance of re-occurrence of the virus, which could see a possibility of regular lockdowns. Businesses need to plan accordingly.
3. Capital will look for countries that are less battered. Western economies are badly battered while countries in Africa, etc are not so battered. Global Capital could flow there, if we can act efficiently to pull it.
4. Emotional and Economic backlash against China is expected. Already, countries and companies are working on strategy to pivot away from China as part of their supply chains. Japan Govt has announced packages for its companies bringing back manufacturing home. Businesses need to keep this in mind and work accordingly.

Discretionary Spending
1. For individuals, health and safety will become No.1 on their agenda from the 3rd of 4th place. There will be more spending on this area and reduction in other discretionary spends.
2. The ticket size of spending will drop for a while. People will spend on cheaper goods than on expensive goods, or delay spending for a while.
3. Extreme acceleration in digital economy. I.e. Home education, home entertainment, home fitness, etc
4. Loyalty shock. People will be less loyal towards brands as other aspects will take over. People will switch brands faster due to various other concerns like safety, etc.
5. General Trust deficit. There will be trust deficit amongst stakeholders like vendors, customers, employees, borrowers, banks, etc. Banks will have trust deficit with borrowers, companies will have trust deficit with suppliers, etc.

Liquidity and P&L
1. Segregate Good Costs and Bad Costs
a. Good costs (Eg. Digitization, tech costs, digital marketing, best employees, etc) need to be insulated and protected
b. Bad Costs (Eg. Fancy office, unnecessary spending, bad performers, traditional working methods) need to be ruthlessly eliminated. Don’t be emotional about non-core businesses. Concentrate on core business.
2. Be Frugal – Not necessary to have fancy office, fancy cars, excess employee strength, etc. Remove all the flab and be lean.
3. Maintain Good behaviour – have frank and open conversation with all stakeholders like suppliers, employees, etc and try to find the middle ground, so that the burden can be shared justly.
4. Be Future Ready – In this crisis, there will be winners and there will be losers. Those who re-orient their strategy will be winners.

Govt Stimulus
1. Economy was in poor shape even before Covid. The govt has little leeway to provide large stimulus.
2. Govt earns alot from taxes, with losses experiences how will this be pushed up?
3. Inequality has already sharpened. The gap between rich and poor has further increased. Govt needs to concentrate on mass health and mass welfare. If not, 40 million people could sink into poverty.
4. Govt must explore printing currency (Quantitative easing), but there are limitations here. It has side effects like inflation, etc. Rich countries have more leeway for such quantitative easing.
5. Govt must concentrate on grabbing more capital from outside and do reforms to enable that.

*Result of backlash against China*
1. Internationally, there could be an emotional and economic backlash against China.
2. Businesses with supply chains ing through China will need to keep this in mind and insulate themselves and build alternatives.
3. Africa and african businesses need to try to become the contract manufacturer of the world, just like China is. They need to make use of this opportunity smartly.
4. All big wealth funds and soverign funds will be awash with Liquidity. This liquidity needs to be attracted.
5. In every sector, there are good and bad companies. Management has to invest correctly in manufacturing and modern tech, be honest and fair to all stakeholders, etc., Those companies with good management and displaying good behaviour will come out victorious.

*Export Business*
1. African exporters need to build trust. They need live up to promises made. They need to deliver on time and deliver the promised quality. They shouldn’t make incorrect promises just to get more business.
2. Asian export business has built trust and a good reputation. Despite a chequered past (low quality, human rights issues, etc) they have managed to overcome and are winning.

*Wholesale, Retail, etc.*
1. More people will prefer to buy from retail stores where there is perception of safety (Eg. Sanitation, cleanliness, crowds, etc). They will move more towards malls away from markets. Many will move towards online stores. Wholesale suppliers also need to concentrate on such retailers.
2. Customers also need to be ringfenced:
a. A high end restaurants need to give high percentage of bill value as gift coupons to be used anytime upto December 2020.
b. Car companies and mortgages shiuld give buy back offers, incase the customer loses his job in the next one year.
3. Pricing needs to be re-approached. People are looking for cheaper prices or cheaper goods.

*Brick & Mortar in Discretionary Spends*
1. Private academies could take a big hit in the near future. Entertainment could move home.
2. Because of this, cafes and restaurants might see some increase in business. Many chains are implementing measures like social distancing like lesser furniture, etc, to build confidence to consumers.
3. Smaller retailers need to send a message of safety. Eg: Have sanitisers, put up notice of no Covid positive employee found in the store, maintain social distancing, etc.
4. Since travel and tourism will take a big hit, connected purchases will also shift. Purchases that happened abroad will happen at home. (Eg. Electronics, Luxury goods and apparel, etc.,). But travel related purchases will drop.

*Financial Markets*
1. There will be value destruction and value creation in different companies in the same sector.
2. High Debt low margin companies will find it difficult. (indicates risky or unscrouplus management)
3. High Debt high margin companies could be rewarded, but caution needs to be exercised. (may indicate sharp or dynamic management)
4. No debt high margin companies are best rewarded now.
5. Know more about the CEO and management and their actions and activities.
6. New tech unicorns will be born. Those involved in cyber security, cloud services, online education services, etc.

*Forex Markets*
1. No doomsday scenario (i.e. Dollar will keep on going up etc). Such scenarios don’t seem realistic
2. Govt should be buying as much oil as possible, as such prices may never be seen in the future of oil.
3. As the western economies are more battered and local economy is less battered so far, there is more liquidity coming in. That’s why there is a rally in the market. This scenario could change depending on the spread of the disease.
4. Watch out for sharp spikes in the market. Better to avoid the spikes.

*Outlook for near future.*
*A. Large Companies*
a. Huge concern seen for employees. Companies are paying the employees even when closed.
b. Right sizing will happen
c. Safety of employees and customers is becoming a major point of focus.
d. This is possible because they have reserves of funds, etc that have been built up over the years.

*B. Medium and Small businesses.*
a. They have to work with thin capital reserves. Excess capital is taken out of the business and applied into personal assets.
b. Small businesses take out the surplus and purchase personal assets instead of re-investing in the business. There are various factors and motivations here.
c. Because of this, they are unable to meet the cash expenses of even the next month.
e. Medium and Small business need to have a look at how they can build some business reserves to endure such disruptions.

*“Force Majeure” in Contracts*
1. Should *force majeure* clauses be triggerd in various contracts like rent, supply, etc? It will lead to litigation, but there is no point in getting into litigation now.
2. All parties have been affected by the crisis. The tenants, the landlords, the lenders/financiers, etc.
3. Parties need to sit across the table and find a common ground and mutually decide upon the costs, rentals, etc. Burden has to be shared.

*Work From Home Scenario*
1. It is possible for lot of employees to not visit the office and still be productive.
2. Telecoms and ISP will be singing Halleluyia to the banks
3. Parents can take care of children more effectively . There can be dark hours when no calls will be made, etc.,

*Optimism*
As per a McKinsey survey of entrepreneurs released few days ago, 67% of African entrepreneurs are optimistic, 53%, while only 37% of Asian entrepreneurs are optimistic.
It seems to be a mild U-Curve for some African economies. But the descent has not stopped yet.
