A Jobless man applied for the Job of “Office boy” at Microsoft The HR Interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test “You are employed” He said. “Give me your E-mail Address and I’ll send you the forms to fill in as well as when you may start The Man replied “But I don’t have computer, neither an Email.” “I’m Sorry”, said the HR Manager, “If you don’t have an Email, that means you don’t exist. and who doesn’t exist, cannot have the Job.” The man left with no hope at all. He didn’t know what to do with only $10 in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy a 10 kg Tomato crate. He then sold the tomatoes in a door to door round. In less than two hours, He succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times and returned home with $ 60 The man realized that he can survive this way, and started to go everyday earlier and return late. Thus his money doubled or tripled everyday. Shortly, He brought a cart, then a truck, then he had his own fleet of vehicles. 5 years later, this man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US. He started to plan his family future, and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker, and chose a protection plan. When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his email. The man replied “I don’t have an email” The broker answered curiously,”You don’t have an email, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email?!” The man thought for a while and replied,”Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft”

U will find a gal that is just like u and when u see her its a match made in introvert heaven

One of the usual misconceptions I encounter every time online. I never said I was a Guy.

Geofavor:
You probably want the attention you give to be reciprocated (even if it's a bit). This is why I said, sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone won't be a bad Idea. Your comfort zone, in this case, is you sitting calm, being the listener, gathering information, hearing them out, etc., extroverts are often ignorantly selfish in conversations. They want the talk to be about them only. They want to be the one to determine where and where the coversation goes. So, if you always play 'mr listener', you might always not get your fair share of the convo. They will dominate the chat throughout. That's not nice.

You are comfortable listening to them, but you're probably uncomfortable talking about your own interests. So, you just let them talk on. Every once in a while, you can make a conscious effort to disrupt the conversation flow and make it go your own way, no matter how incovenient this might make you feel. You'll get used to it with time. These people will also get to know you better, as they will some of the things you tell them.

You're right in a way. Sometimes I do want people to be interested in me, my personality. Honestly, at times I desire friends and friendship and at other times I try to convince myself that I'm better off. I hate crowded places only when I'm in a church program do I accommodate the crowd. I don't like parties because I discourage unsolicited attention. I work with people everyday so I have no difficulty in communicating.

I agree I'm not so good in socialising because I hardly meet people who share the same interests with me. Shallow-minded people tend to bore me. Funny enough I come off as being hard, a bit arrogant and too serious if people were to give their opinion. But deep down inside I'm so easygoing with a beautiful mind.

People judge me before they get to know me. It's true. There are certain category of people I open up to completely: with children I'm totally me.

Geofavor:
I can relate with all you've said. Nothing bad in being reserved. However, have in mind that no man is an Island. I don't think just ing through this world without making your mark is what you really want.
Sometimes, it's okay to just step out of your comfort zone.

Yes I'm reserved but I'm very good in relating with people when I choose to be. I know how to gather information from people and make them share with me their life history. I tend to allow people dominate the conversation while I probe. I've noticed that people love to be heard and listened to and I take advantage of this because I'm a very attentive and good listener. Many people want you to know them but they're not patient enough or inquisitive enough in wanting to get to know you.

They think I'm proud and arrogant because I'm too calm and I hardly talk. My choice of music is odd, I love Rock and other unfamiliar songs so they assume I'm weird.

I love my company the most making it unnecessary for me to mingle. I wish to be alone most times because when I listen to people talk I realize that mentally and psychologically we're miles apart and with that they conclude that I'm a snub.

Dating is even worse, most people don't know me. I only show them what I want them to see and then they say that I'm too deep without them trying to even scratch the surface.

I've come to realize that by being quiet I tend to know people more than they know themselves. most times I feel like exploring the wonders of the world all by myself soaking up the excitement alone. Odd I guess some people will say, when it can be shared.

Am I too deep? I love being independent too having my own not relying on anyone except God. At times I question my duration on earth, do I want to get married? do I want to have kids before I leave here?

BornInApril:
This is where people miss it. Submission to your husband is a commandment.

You don't get it then, because the husband loving the wife is the first commandment after which comes submission from the wife.

A good marriage is one nurtured in love and trust not with blind submission or fear. You can only submit to someone when you know that person loves you , cares for you and has your best interest at heart. It's like the same thing in the scriptures where Christians are to lay all their cares on the Lord and trust him. Why? Because he loves and cares for us.

When a woman sees that you truly love and care for her only then can she submit to you totally trusting you with her life.

uzolexis:


The fact that a woman has a say in the home does not make her contentious. God bless my parents and pls God give me a man like and better than my Dad. The way my Dad respects my mum, the way he regards her opinion and she reciprocates this as well. They make maor decisions together and one party does not agree with something, the other party does not go ahead with it, they argue about issues and my Mum is allowed to express her displeasure even shout sometimes and my Dad has never raised a finger on her cos of that or treated her less than she desrves and they make up almost immediately after. So, I have seen and lived in a loving home with loving Parents where the wife is treated as an equal partner in the relationship so I know what it means so all this poo you guys are saying here makes no sense to me at all.

That's where they're all getting it wrong. Love is the greatest force and not submission or fear. Love can conquer even the hardest heart. When you can love your wife unconditionally just as you love and take care of your own body, there's nothing that can make that can make that woman to ever disrespect you.

The reason many get it wrong is because they don't know the true meaning of love. No woman will ever insult a man who can sacrifice the last plate of food for her to eat when they have nothing at home.

That's why the Lord Jesus Christ mentioned husbands loving their wives first because he knows many would pick the submissive part first.

Nelzone:
Use your head... Aboki people are too dull.... Oshiomole is worst than lucky... Lucky thief from federal buh left the people to do their tin. Oshiomole was thiefing from both federal and even the people themselves

You should be wise, There's no point of comparison between Lucky and Oshiomhole. For a governor to a bad road for good 8 years and should not be moved to repair it is not normal. Even if Oshiomhole stole money, at least he repaired the gully erosion at Queen Ede, Ekewan Slope, and Auchi. He repaired a lot of roads, even schools when during Lucky's tenure trees were growing inside the classrooms with rain pouring on the children.

Even though Oshiomhole didn't do much, for him to have the good mind to do what he did he deserves to be applauded. All PDP ers in Edo State should please mention at least one thing that Lucky Igbinedion or Professor Osunbor did in Edo State during their 10 years reign.

Doyin2:


Ajala travel all over the world!It seems you are the only one that had travelled to many countries,nonsense!

If A party performs well in a state,as evident in EDO,compared to the evil days of PDP then,but currently having challenges at the federal level,then what should happen?So you expect Oshiomole(with at least a better performance than Igbinedion) to be disgraced by the Edolite because Buhari is currently facing very serious challenges,abi?

Your trash could have made some sense if it were to be a federal election,like the National House of Assembly,just like what we witnessed recently in the USA.

The truth is that many Nigerians,including EDOLITES, appreciates the fact that the current challenges at the federal level are summountable and cannot be as a result of ineptitude of the FG.

Even the best economists in the world could not have saved us from Recession: Oil price crash,economic sabotage from NDA,Boko Haram,etc

The FG is fighting many battles,and a very reasonable and sensible electorate should exercise more patience!

It is sheer stupidity to expect APC to clear the mess of 16years in just one year plus,it may surely get worse before it gets better.The building with a very shaky foundation must be pulled down, to lay a more solid foundation,take it or you leave it.


Nigerians and impatience plus miracles,are like bread and butter

Just leave them, all these young boys and girls on Nairaland know nothing about where Edo State was during the 8 years Lucky was governor and the 8 years Ize Iyamu was SSG under him. The Igbinedion family ruled the state ed by their thugs Kabaka and Bob Izua. Nobody could talk bad about the government, there was no freedom of speech.
But just following the 8 years Oshiomhole has been governor not one day PDP did not insult, raise allegations or bouth his istration. This was something that no one could dare do during PDP's tenure. Just for that freedom alone to be able to criticize the government I will APC.
This is not about Nigeria as a whole, this is about Edo State and we know which party has worked in Edo comparing the 8 years of PDP and the 8 years of APC.
People Deceive People (PDP) was the name the so called Pastor Ize Iyamu called PDP when he decamped to APC during Oshiomhole's second Tenure campaign thus, they should never be allowed to rule Edo State again, because it's the same thing as Ize Iyamu's boss and godfather Lucky Igbinedion coming back as governor.

Gabbyraze:

The truth is only a man who has been in Edo state btw 99 and 07 and 07 and 2016 would know who performed better....truth is bitter

It's most likely that this marriage will end in divorce or the she might have to live with her mistake for a long time because I doubt this man will give her a divorce.

Everybody in Benin knows the Igbenedion family. They are corrupt, full of thieves and lies. The mother of this girl is from Jamaica and has only 3 daughters for Igbenedion. This is not the first high society marriage they have done.

The Oba of Benin's Nephew Prince Akenzua also made a similar mistake of marrying the eldest daughter Omosede. That marriage was master minded by Igbenedion himself because of his selfish desire to penetrate into the Oba's household. The marriage lasted only two years with one son. The divorce was messy and the case is still in court because of the allegations of theft levelled against the daughter and father.

But everybody in Benin has forgotten about it, they even welcomed her back a girl not up to 35 years already a divorcee and still she won the 2015 election into the house of Representatives and now she's an honourable member there.

The people of Edo State should be wise there's nothing good that comes from this family. Nobody d to them should be allowed to rule the state. Ize Iyamu was secretary to the State Government for 8 years under Lucky's Igbenedion tenure. There was no progress in that State during his 8 years rule. Now there's a big difference between their time and Oshiomole's time.

People can complain and say that things are harder now in Nigeria because of the economic recession this country is going through as a result of APC 'so president Buhari BUT you can't say because of Buhari's government then PDP should come back to Edo State.

The developmental changes in Edo should not be compared with the whole country. We in Edo State know who worked and who didn't. So people of Edo State your judgment should be fair come 28th of September when you cast your vote.

This same Esama of Benin was the one that said this during Lucky's campaign for reelection in 2013 "when a child fails to be promoted to the next class, he should be allowed to repeat that class so that he can " . And that was how Edo people blindly reelected Lucky for his second tenure.

Edo people please do not make this same mistake.

No wonder Nigeria is still the way it is after so many years. It's this kind of act that makes black men to be tagged as primitive, undeveloped and barbaric. If you crave meat so bad what stops you from rearing livestocks? Instead we want to deplete the natural wildlife reserve we have. That's why western countries are more developed, because they don't just kill everything that crosses their path. The have common sense enough to know that there has to be a balance in the ecosystem, for all species of living things to survive. It's like saying because guns are harmful then all guns in the world should be destroyed, because you fear one day you would be killed by one. Same thing goes for these wild animals, you can't just kill them at every opportunity because you fear them even when they didn't physically attack or threatened you. The God that created them made them for a purpose, you do not know the unforeseen consequences their obliteration from nature will cause us. So let's all behave like higher creatures as we call ourselves and begin to think more of developing, sustaining and nurturing the natural resources we have. That's how we develop and grow as a nation enough of senseless killings both of human and animal life. Ironically, it's almost like the same attitude we have towards each other that's what we're exhibiting towards these animals "kill or be killed". And that is wrong.

Many young male youths in Nairaland often open topics and threads with derogatory comments and posts about Nigerian young ladies calling them cheap, gold diggers and and all sorts.

Do you know why some of these ladies are like that? Many of them come from the type of background and history this child now has. Some of them were sexually molested, harassed and raped when they were growing up.

That's one of the deadliest damage a girl-child suffers when growing up. Many of them grow older becoming promiscuous (because they have little self-esteem and feel violated to the point of no value). They are constantly reminded by their past abuse that they aren't virgins anymore so they feel (what's the point of protecting something that you don't even have anymore). Then you wonder why they're so loose and sleep around indiscriminately. Mind you, more than 90% of sexual abuse cases are never reported we only get to know about just the few that makes headlines.

Another issue is that it can cause withdrawal and reclusive behaviors in some of these ladies when they grow up. They have no interest for men and are indifferent to sexual advances from men. For some, they begin to develop feelings for the same sex, (because they feel more secured physically and emotionally when they're among other ladies).

While for others, God just helps them when they give their lives to him and he heals their pain. And they become normal enough to live everyday without you and I ever knowing their past history of sexual abuse.

It's a pity that the life of a girl-child is held with so little value in Nigeria. Many of the culprits go unpunished. Nigeria has a very high population of pedophiles with destructive tendencies. And who's the victim here, our female babies (in some cases) and daughters. May God help us protect them.

pippimp:

Yeah. And i feel a lot better. Next time you'll be a bit more apprehensive about who you try to talk down to.

After all your insults, Your arrogance and pride could not make you do likewise after I apologized. A pity, you weren't worthy of it. I didn't apologize to make you feel better, I did it for myself.

pippimp:


I told you, you were starting to phucking piss me off. Now see what you done went and make me did. Might as well smile and phucking take it.

You went overboard on your own, I didn't push you. I guess deep down inside each of us wanted to have the final say. My apologies for that.

pippimp:


Check out this phucking tramp lecturing me.

Control your words and your anger. I am not a tramp. I thought you were more matured than this. You are beginning to sound derogatory and insulting. It's a pity you degraded to this level.

pippimp:


I swear to God, you are really starting to phucking piss me the phuck off.

Mind your language. "Phuck" and "Swearing to God" is not ideal. You are better than that.

pippimp:


Not my mistake. Yours. For not comprehending the implications and weight of your utterances

You're the one getting worked up and making references to my comments so it's definitely your misunderstanding I have no problem with you. Try and not be too sensitive it will help.

pippimp:


Guy, You should have minded your business before implying that someone else is not informed.

Your mistake, you read too much into my comment and you started imagining I implied something else.

pippimp:


Guy, You should have minded your business before implying that someone else is not informed.

Your mistake, you read to much into my comment and you started imagining I implied something else.

pippimp:


You've summoned enough courage to reply. Good. Now show me anywhere i have said specifically i lived in the U.S, in the comment i made. I only made comments to an appliance i just bought and it's functionality. I didn't even refer it to you. If i correctly, it was cococandy i referred to. You took it upon yourself to try to belittle me by trying to imply that i am uninformed. Guy, the things i've seen, the places i've been, the things i've done (the good, the bad, and the horrific) will leave your "informed" jaw on the floor. So next time you wanna pull the "dis guy no sabi" routine, you might wanna take a step back and check who you are trying to humiliate.

One more thing, I'm not in a competition or rivalry with you so my jaw can never drop for your achievements. Whatever you've got and experienced, well thank God for you. I'm running my own race.

Another thing, I'm not a guy.

Point of correction, nobody is humiliating anybody here so don't get worked up over nothing. Since you're bent on dragging this dialogue let me take your attention back to my earlier comment. I never mentioned a specific name or person when I said "you guys " right? It was just an observation that struck me from your exchange of messages. So don't feel belittled. The vagueness of my comment doesn't necessitate any aggravation. So be cool. And being informed has nothing to do with location. Just a add-in.

pippimp:


Bros. I don't reside in the U.S. I reside everywhere for now, which is why i don't always catch up with the latest and the greatest. Plus, i had a fry daddy which served it's purpose. See why you shouldn't assume? You'll just end up making an asss of yourself. If you wanna know the about the latest frag device, i'm your man. While we are it, show me a picture of the one you own.

For your information I didn't make an Ass of myself. I only stated out an observation as I have followed the thread from the beginning till now and I noticed that some of you have disclosed your locations at one point and another. Though I didn't consider relocation or type of residency which was my omission.

That said, I don't actually have but that didn't stop me from being informed about and it's workings. I will definitely use it in the near future. But for now I'm still rocking my oily, old fashioned, German machine, deep fryer. The "guy" must serve im master na. [quote author=pippimp post=48906055]

Are you guys serious? You didn't know about Air fryers? And I guess some of you guys are in the US where it was first introduced commercially by Philips in 2010. Wow.

Well it has been in the market for some years now, even here in Nigeria I've known about it since 2014 and you can buy online from Jumia for those interested.

Made this 3 nights ago.

Congratulations.

But why is the guy wearing a dark shaded glasses? The wedding took place in an enclosed building so why the goggles?

Nigerians like copying styles and other people's behaviors even when it's wrong. Because Dbanj wears dark goggles for his music videos and interviews (inside a building and even at night) which is wrong all other artists copy him. Now it has entered wedding ceremonies which isn't cool.
Dark goggles are mainly used to protect ones eyes from sunlight and for special cases for those who are blind.

It doesn't look nice when you're wearing it for no reason most especially inside a room or a dark enclosure. It's not fashionable either for wedding ceremonies. At least you're getting married you should be able to look into the eyes of your spouse and your guests and vice versa.

It's like bringing back the old days when General Sani Abacha was always on goggles. And look how he ended!

Anyway Congrats to the couple and I hope other intending couples don't copy this.

Okay. Thanks.
