Happy ever after? Happy new month everyone. I know I’m not the first person to wish you a happy new month, but let mine ring in your ear for it’s coming from my heart. So here is my first article for the new month. I attended a "singles submit" yesterday though I contested going but when my Dad is bent on something, it is hard to say “No” to him. So there I was, seated amid other young boys and girls. Many are of marriage age so they were seated there excited to hear from…
Alternative ways of funding... Taking a loan is a common thing for most businesses nowadays and if they stick to the plan they have, they pay back when due. There are two main reasons why one needs a loan. One is to start a business from scratch and another is how to sustain a business plan. When you are starting a new business from scratch, you need people to believe in your product or service because you have no track record. So most of the time, people who start…
Second Fiddle I was young and fragile. I only wanted to be recognised, to be shown love and to have some worth in my loved one’s life, but it seems nothing I do is enough. My brothers always manage to take the limelight away. Not that I hate them for being so perfect and flawless, I just detest the fact that when I think I’ve done something deserving of praise, I get compared to them. Why can’t people see me without seeing my brothers? First year in high school I won the…
SmartBCH: It happens everywhere... Exciting days are coming to SmartBCH. The sun is shining after the recent downpour of rug pulls. The NFT business is gaining ground more than it used to be. I took a journey to Solana side chain and also Ethereum NFT and saw how big the business is already. I think we haven’t even scratched the surface yet in SmartBCH. If you’re thinking of telling me how people are no longer interested in SmartBCH NFT, the rug pulls blah blah blah then…
It's Real Madrid vs Liverpool Showdown The game of football is a beautiful one. Champions League night is also up there as one of the most beautiful nights, even ahead of Prom nights. This week’s matches are a testament to that. Except if you are Villarreal or Manchester City fan or a Rival fan, you surely had a wonderful time watching the scintillating football were blessed with in the second legs of the UCL semi-final. Villarreal vs Liverpool At Anfield, Villarreal's plan…
Standout To what extent can you go to achieve something. I was having a conversation with a friend earlier who is into real estate. She talked about how people are doing anything to get clients, what sales reps are doing to persuade people and all. We came to the conclusion that what differentiates everyone is the extra they are ready to do. Everyone knows the shortcut to get things done, cunny ways of deceiving people and illegal ways of doing things but not everyone is…
Leave before it's too late Introduction Staying in a toxic relationship be it friendship or marriage is an open letter to death. Most times the man is the abuser. It's only in a few cases we see men being abused in the relationship they are in. Logically when someone is subjected to abuse, it's expected that they quit such a relationship but such isn't the case in most relationships and marriages. Even in the dating stage, most ladies are subjected to severe beating at the…
1 year and I'm still here On the 9th of May 2021, I decided to give readcash another shot. Though it seems I was alone with no one on my side, I was determined to do it the right way this time around. So after months of waiting, I abandoned my previous account “**Valour**” after it got flagged as spam and decided to start afresh. It wasn’t easy starting over and it was even harder choosing a name since my usual nickname was already used by me. I wanted to add either a prefix…
Forgiveness: Not easy but necessary When we talk about forgiveness what comes to is that a form of betrayal has happened between two friends which hurt either one or both parties and they are deciding to let go and make peace with each other. However, forgiveness does not necessarily have to be between two or more parties. Sometimes the person we need to forgive is ourselves. **Forgiveness is not easy but is necessary.** Whether it was a family member or buddy, whether it…
All American Some of us here might be familiar with the American TV series: All American and its brother series “All American Homecoming” has been thrilling fans for years and weeks. One thing I love about this TV series is that it talks about various aspects of life. It shows the flaws and problems faced in various relationships and how to overcome them with Communication and honesty. The last episode of the two series sparked a lot of excitement and disagreement on social…
Crypto Bloodbath- follow your mind The most talked-about topic right now on various groups and platforms is the crypto crash. So many experts give their verdict and in the end, add the usual “DYOR”. The whales are also trying to salvage something out of the ruins and the best way to do that is to lure the small investors into taking decisions that will favour them. “Keep on hodling” “Swap all to fiat and look for a favourable re-entry” “We haven’t seen the last of the dump…
Working smart over working hard There's a big difference between working hard and working smart. Working hard doesn't guarantee success but working smart increases the probability of one succeeding. If one works hard without strategizing, one will just to tolling in vain. I love to see people working hard. I find it endearing, commendable and inspiring. However, working hard is only one of the many ingredients in the recipe for success but not the whole. For example, when a…
Religion Tolerance and Extremists Religion is a meaning of life. But in this day and age, it has become a creator of chaos, confusion and misunderstanding among people. All the main religions are meant to help people attain peace, love and above all: comfort. But for many reasons, it is not so. Religion has become a tool in the hands of people with evil intentions. It’s like every week a new topic arises on social media across the country. People talk about it for a week or…
Under Pressure to deliver News of the ongoing strike by lecturers in universities across the country coming to an end was spreading yesterday and I’m yet to validate this but it got me worried. My project has been left untouched since I got home, I don’t even know where my drawing is. This got me worried. If truly the strike is over, then I’ll have to do everything within one week or two at most. I know I can do it but I feel I’m just giving myself unnecessary pressure with…
Cut ties with them A leopard can never change its skin. Wash it with the best soap or give it another name, its skin is something it can never change. This can come in form of friends. The problem we do have as humans is that so far the wrong doesn’t affect us in any way, we don’t care. There is a girl I know with a bad reputation. She’s been involved in one fight or the other with almost everyone in the faculty, but she never for once disrespected me. People warned me about…
Bestie When two people are together, share a common interest and know what the other likes and hates, the chances of them developing feelings for each other increases. I’ve always thought this wasn’t true. I believe a girl and a boy can be best friends without any hidden feelings but yesterday I questioned my belief when “bestie” was trending on Twitter. Bestie is the short form of “best friend”. so many marriages and relationships are over simply because of the third wheel…
Promises are no longer Sacred Never budget on a promise because it's easier for people to make promises than to keep to the promise. Gone are the days when Promises are sacred, nowadays people make promises with no intention of fulfilling them, but just to get rid of you or stop you from pestering them. One thing I’ve noticed about movies that depict the ancient days is that when someone swears with his name to do something, people believe him, they take him for his word…
Criticism and hates speech... The news of Elon musk taking over Twitter is by now known to everyone. From what I read, the deal hasn’t been finalized and in the wake of so many controversies going on, Twitter might not be worth what he is offering. It is said that about 5% of twitter accounts are run by bots, contrary to this about 20% are bots. It’s a common thing to see offensive comments on tweets. A typical example is the massive attack on Bitcoincash promoting tweets by…
Gameweek 37: Champions league football isn't for Everyone ***With solemn music playing in the background the newscaster took centre stage, paper in hand ready to kick start the programme. This will be his last for the season. What an emotional night it was for him. He hummed the song playing from the stereo - Goodbye by Celine Dion and took a final look at the screen. The video of the Everton fans celebrating was showing, a perfect scene to set the tone for Gameweek 37…
Price haggling and fixed price I wanted to get something from the store yesterday but I couldn't go alone. I took my little brother along to help me price what I wanted to buy. "So embarrassing" you'll say. But such is how bad I am at haggling the price of goods. Countless times I've been cheated and lured into buying something at a very high price. These sellers realising I don't know how to do the back and forth pricing of goods, take advantage of this. There was a time…
Empowerment over Charity Empowerment is different from charity, empowering others means you're equipping them to be able to stand alone and be able to help others. Charity solves short term problems, which will resurface in the long term, while Empowerment stops the re-occurrence of these problems. *I had a friend ask me to help him create a bill using Excel. I do this every time without asking for money but I was afraid he was getting used to it. It’s a matter of time…
Let's go back to making noise on noisecash Some months back the number of noisecash users was increasing every day. The site was everyone’s favourite and even acted as a tool for promoting bitcoincash. So many of my friends that refused to join readcash joined noisecash, after joining they decided to give the former a trial too. However, it's so ironic to see people using readcash more today than noisecash. Maybe it's because of the reduction in the amount earned on the site…
Achilles' heel 'The popular movie Troy follows the same storyline as that of Achilles. In literature the sentence “… is his only Achilles’ heel” is a common one. This is used to describe the only weakness of a person. As with most idioms, proverbs and myths, Achilles’ heel has a story behind it. Achilles is said to be the son of King Peleus (Who is mortal). Achilles is strong, handsome, brave and till date regarded as one of the greatest warriors of the Trojan war. At a…
Your case isn't the worst, be thankful... We only miss the sun when it starts to snow. Humans tend to be ungrateful and complain a lot. We don't appreciate what we have until we lose it. One thing is certain in life, your case can't be the worse. No matter what you're passing through, there's always someone, somewhere facing worse. You need to be thankful for the little you have, for many will do anything to be in your shoes. ***I watched a video yesterday of people living…
Multiple source of income pays *How do I start this? Maybe I should go with the conventional “Good health is underrated” or “health is wealth” but I’m not going to bore you with stories of how my sickness has affected my life in the last 48 hours or how we all should take issues of our health serious. So many articles have done justice to that. And thankfully, I'm feeling better now.* Today I will be talking about having more than one source of income. In a country like mine…
Unapologetic After the Sex tape of a University student in Nigeria surfaced, she suffered so much backlash and was criticised by everyone. Her school terminated her admission and everyone said she got what she deserved. She dropped another Video yesterday apologising and she said the leaked Sex video was made a long time ago. She said she isn't what that video portrays again. Those who watched the leaked sex tape attest to it that she looked younger in the video. She was…
Final Lesson The media and fans are praising the all-conquering Real Madrid. I’m also happy for their victory. For the first time in my life, I supported Real Madrid. I believe they also deserve to win the trophy because of the teams they eliminated on their way to the final. They are the better evil to me. Liverpool is a big team in Europe and if they win one more UCL title they will have more bragging rights which will be a painful one for other clubs. The outcome of the…
Dress style: One of the ingredients of confidence Just like religion, dress style is another issue that raises a lot of concern in the country. Our culture is seen as a problem by many while some see it as a touch that lights our parts. You can be all dressed up and happy only to be met with scornful eyes of the public or some uncultured men might use it as an excuse to display their superiority. I'm not a fan of conversations that involve deciding whether a certain type of…
SmartBCH: Various staking options Every time I promise not to mint any NFT again but each day I find myself jumping on the latest NFT in town. Though I'm always careful before minting and I don't mint more than I can afford depending on the risk involved. Adding the NFTs I have staked on various sites and the ones in my wallet, I realized I’m getting close to 200. Not as much as some people but still a large figure, given that I promised to stop when I had just 20. The…
