Work now and enjoy later
Just a piece of advice to us all including myself. When I said work now and enjoy later, I wasn't referring to working your ass off to make a living.
I totally mean working hard with a lot of smartness.
If wealth was to be distributed among everyone according to how much your work-rate is, there will be a lot of people who are presently poor, richer than you can imagine.
But the reason the rich will continue to be richer is that they have a zeal to be richer by capitalizing on the smallest of opportunities instead of waiting the whole day for a big one. They remain smart and spend according to their budget.
**Be wise and be smart**

Time wait for nobody
Time is running away
Whining and warning every time
Waiting for no one at all
Use me wisely, it warns
If you know how valuable I am
You will never play with me
I am meant for you
But you are not for me
I leave you when you don't use me
I stay with you when you use me
Staying with you means you will achieve with me.

No one plays with time
"No wise man ever plays with time
My time my life, my life my time
It counts from the day a child is born
When you are a kid
Your parents takes care of your time
The time to feed you
Time to rock you to sleep
Time to wake you up
If the time is misused
Your parents will pay for it
A time comes you know who you are
You can say something about yourself
A minute wasted in your time, will be paid for
Because of the fact of time
If things are not achieved at the right time
It may not be achieved at the late hour
Even if it will be luckily achieved
One may beg and cry
Time is something worth knowing
Children need to be educated wisely about time
Tell them the way it runs away
Let them know it can spoil man's life
Let them see the benefits of being conscious of it
Your time is powerful and so diminishing
Yesterday is gone, today is here
Today will soon be dismissed
Set your target against tomorrow.

Waiting for their arrival
We live in a desert
My father has gone to the farm
Some vegetable to fetch
My mum to buy some beef
The firewoods are just three
I set fire on them
To keep them burning
But my dad and mum are yet to come back
Yet, the firewoods had burnt out
The firewoods had turned to ash
They cannot be used again
On a desert land
Where there is no firewood
My father needs to travel far away
To get another firewood
Before he returns, the beef had been stinking.
The vegetable had spoiled.
And I am already dying of hunger
My parents are ulcer patients
I have caused the house a big problem
A problem that has a slim solution
Oh! It is a story about man's time.

Unconscious ways of ruining your relationship
Most relationship issues we have nowadays are basically caused by ourselves without we knowing it. We ignore things that are meant to be what we are supposed to give due attention to.
We see some things are normal things to do, meanwhile they are just the wrong things to do.
Below are a few things we see as normal but they are not and they ruin our relationships and homes.
1. Blame game: In any relationship, there should be the hard and the hot, not both being hard. You should be matured enough to take responsibilities and take on blames even if you are not wrong on anything.
2. Holding back on your feelings: These entails love and affection. Some people believe that showing your partner love and affection won't play out well. My dear, you are getting it wrong. Show him or her that you love him or her.
3. Discussing the shortcomings of your partner with friends: This is very wrong. You don't discuss your partner's shortcomings with your friends, you will make him or her lose value to them.
4. Self-love: When you embrace yourself and show yourself unconditional love, anyone else will love you too.
You don't throw away who you are cos you are not satisfied with who you are.
Do not do this mistake.
These are the few ways of ruining your relationship that you must work on.
**Enjoy the rest of your day**

Ways to keep your teeth healthy
Teeth mismanagement is common in most people and statistics showed that 2, out of 10 individuals manages their teeth well, while many experiences otherwise.
I will share a few tips on how to manage your teeth and keep them in good condition.
Tips on managing your teeth;
1. Do not brush too hard: There is nothing wrong in scrubbing your teeth very hard to remove stubborn stains but you may harm your enamel in this process and make your teeth too sensitive.
Just get a toothbrush that suits your teeth
2. Do not ignore mouth odour: This is very essential for everyone, we do not ignore the odour of the mouth.
This odour spells that you are not taking care of your teeth as you have supposed to. This may be tooth decay or gum disease.
3. Rinse mouth very well after brushing: This aspect of keeping your teeth clean is important. Some people just pour water into their mouths and spill it out.
You must rinse your mouth vigorously until no sign of your toothpaste in it.
4. Brush a bit longer: Some of us just do a fast and furious kind of brushing. We don't take our time to do it rightly.
It is advisable to spend at least 30 seconds each on the 4 quadrants of your mouth.
5. Do no exchange toothbrush: This is a very bad thing to do. It exposes your teeth to infections and it is considered as bad hygiene.
6. Spill out and not drink it: When you brushing your teeth, do not make the mistake to swallow your spit or swallow the water you rinsed your mouth with.
7. Brush after each meal or before going to bed: Sure, some of us may not have the spare time or opportunity to brush our teeth after each meal but it is ideal that you do that before going to bed at night.
It helps you remove leftovers from your teeth to avoid germs and tooth decay.
I hope the tips above are helpful.

Know his soft-spot
There is a saying that goes like this "A good home begins with a good woman".
This saying isn't just a saying but a powerful one that carries a lot of weight. The reason we have many broken homes today is that the woman isn't trying enough to be good.
There is something about men that is just natural, "their off button". Every man is designed in a way that there will be that woman that will always get his weak point. No matter how hard he tries to be, there will always be that soft-spot. Even General Suni Abacha fell for a woman.
So, I am sending this out to all the women out there, if he is your man and you know it, I mean not the man you stole from someone, find his soft-spot and master the craft of it.
You will always need it to save your home, your marriage, and yourself.

What is sexual abuse?
Sexual abuse is an act of forcing, coercing, or persuading someone to engage in any type of sexual activity. Sexual abuse can be contact such as rape, and noncontact acts such as exposure to pornography, voyeurism, exhibitionism, and communicating in a sexual manner by phone or internet ( sexting). Sexual abuse is often a traumatic experience for children and teens. It is a crime punishable law. What I discovered in my work with victims is that young people are 2.5 times more likely to be raped than an adult.
Young people are the victims in 66% of all sexual offenses reported to law enforcement.
Sexually abused children are at greater risk for psychological, emotional, social and physical problems which often last into adulthood.
90% of victims know their abuser.
55% of children who are sexually abused are abused by family members and somebody they trusted.
As many as 65% are abused by people the family trusts.
As many as 40% of children who are sexually abused are abused by older pr more powerful children.
NB: Everyone has a role to play in preventing sexual abuse.

Patience is a virtue
"Patience is a virtue" like they say is indeed true. A lot of broken homes today is because of a lack of patience and understanding between the man and the woman. This has even sent many to their early graves.
A situation whereby one allows himself to be driven by adrenaline to a conclusion, such a person will be on the losing end of patience.
No matter what we see ourselves doing in this life, we should always apply patience so that we can judge or conclude in a fair way.

Tell me, who are you?
Either you are suffering from an inferiority complex or not, it does not explain the fact that you know who you are or not.
This is a segment where I want us to mention our names in the comment section below and share with ourselves on who we believe we are and what we can do.
For example;
My name is Afolasade, I am a social worker and a tailor.
I can save many lives with my skills as a social worker and I can free people from depression.

Hello ladies, do not make these mistakes with your man
As much as you think that you love your man and you want to keep him all to yourself, there are ladies out there too wishing they can snap him away from you.
Life is all about keeping what you love safe and far away from scavengers, the moment you expose your loved properties to predators, just say "bye-bye" to it.
Below are things you should never share with your friends about your man;
1. Size of his pride: When I said the size of his pride, I meant the size of his penis. This is one big secret that shouldn't be shared with friends cos if you do so, you are not securing his pride and yours.
2. Bed strength: Common, I know it is tempting to tell how good your man is in bed, the gist is always juicy and makes you feel lucky but do not try it or stop it if you have been doing that.
Your friends might be suffering from good sex and when they know that you man is a Superman in bed, then you are automatically placing your man on amazon for everyone to order.
3. Shortcomings in bed: These shameful or painful shortcomings of your man in bed are not only his burden alone to carry but yours too. When you discuss this with friends, then you are trailing a path to leave your man.
They will take you out and introduce you to waywardness
5. Family issues: Only a few ladies do not do this. Most ladies cos of their soft hearts cannot control their emotions and will always go out there to discuss their home issues with their friends just to drop the burden off their heavy hearts. Many friends are out there looking for just the type of your husband.
When you discuss your matrimonial issues with them, they will help you to ruin your home and take over your home when you listen to their words.
6. His care: He buys you gifts, shows you unconditional love, supports you in everything, and makes you the woman you have always wished to be.
Do not discuss this with friends. Let your friends see the changes and comment about them but not you boasting about it.
You will end up having enemies when you boast about how loving your husband is. Everyone will want a share of a loving man.
So, ladies, I hope you heed to this advice above and do the right thing.

Signs to know an easy-to-get lady
Well, I will use the phrase easy-to-get while most will say cheap, but either way, we are saying the same thing.
Firstly, ladies of this standard are ladies that any guy can sleep with, I mean sex, on their first date. These kinds of ladies are just readily available to be swept off their feet.
How do you recognize a lady of this caliber?
1. She drinks a lot of alcohol: She might not be an alcoholic or a drunkard, but when offered an alcoholic drink or taken to a party, she will drink to stupor
2. At 40 but dresses 18: Ladies with this way of life are mostly single or not satisfied with their husbands at this age.
She may dress decently before leaving her husband's house but changes when she leaves her vicinity.
She is definitely looking for who will lay with her
3. Tattoo on sensitive parts: For a lady to let tattoo to be drawn on her breasts, close to the vagina and sometimes on the buttocks, means that she is just a step away from being a public service sex agent.
4. Smoking hemp: Cigarettes can be ideal for some people irrespective of their sex. Sometimes cold weather can prompt anyone to smoke cigarettes or drink some hot alcoholic drinks but for a lady to be indulged in smoking hemp speaks a whole different meaning to her.
She is definitely an easy ride for any guys especially when she is high.
5. Rawness with speech: If a lady speaks too raw on sex irrespective of wherever she finds herself, such lady is stylishly advertising what she can do.
If you can get to compromise with her, you will get under her wears.
The above signs are signs to take note in order to know an easy-to-get lady.

Say "NO" to relationship covenant
We know love is sweet and emotions are strong. We always want to remain with whoever we love and believed to love us back. All the romance, the good times, the care, the fun, and every sweet thing in a relationship, we want all of these to always be as we want them.
Cos of these entities some people are fond of going the extra length to secure their relationships by engaging in a covenant or taking oaths.
The fear of heartbreaks does lead to all of these and that is the very beginning to the end.
People will start engaging in covenants and laying curses on whoever that may betray the other person's trust, and some do engage in lifeline covenants that will see both party's lives merged together as one.
If one dies, the other follows.
So people, no matter how much love you have for anyone, do not engage in oath-taking or covenant. The consequences are dangerous.
