I was sad, angry and frustrated it wasn't an easy experience one I wouldn't want anyone to go through.
I remember watching TV without turning up the volume😂😂
Feeling angry with lovers taking a stroll and holding hands 😂😂( like they were responsible for my heartbreak 😪)
Two days later my friend fendy came over to my place to chair me up he insisted we go out, so can I atleast forget the scenario.
After much persistence I agreed to go.
We went to a restaurant and fendy try it his best to make me laugh and Smile.
There I made up me mind to all focus about me work and academics.
Not too long ago A tall, dark, beautiful lovely young lady walked past and sat at our 12 O'clock
She had walnut-brown eyes and a film star smile.
she was waving at our direction winking and blowing kissing.
Fendy told me since I already made up my to be done with women, He should make the first move we both argued and the one with the heartbreak won(me)
So I went to meet the lovely lady.
Me: Hi do you own this restaurant causing you are serving looks today.
Her: wow that's a good line , She had spellbinding, angel-white teeth
Me: I'm pelz i saw staring and I decided to come say hello
Her: Ooh no sorry I wasn't
Me: alright can I have your digits would call your later

Apparently she was gesticulating to her Soldier father earlier

A day I won't forget
Oooh if you were wondering what fendy did...
He ran faster that Usain bolt
The right place values you the right way
A father said to his daughter “You graduated with honors, here is a car I acquired many years ago. It is several years old. But before I give it to you, take it to the used car lot downtown and tell them I want to sell it and see how much they offer you.
The daughter went to the used car lot, returned to her father and said, “They offered me $1,000 because it looks very worn out.” The father said,”Take him to the pawn shop.” The daughter went to the pawn shop, returned to her father and said,”The pawn shop offered $100 because it was a very old car.” The father asked his daughter to go to a car club and show them the car.
The daughter took the car to the club, returned and told her father,” Some people in the club offered $100,000 for it since it’s a Nissan Skyline R34, an iconic car and sought out after by many.” The father said to his daughter,”The right place values you the right way,” If you are not valued, do not be angry, it means you are in the wrong place.
Those who know your value are those who appreciate you. Never stay in a place where no one sees your worth
So Good he was named TWICE!!
SO GOOD HE WAS NAMED TWICE
Muhammed Yavuz may not sound familiar but I bet Jay Jay Okocha sure does.
He began playing football on the streets just like many other football stars, usually with a makeshift ball he once said whenever he got a ball was a bonus.
Where it all began
He started his professional career with Enugu rangers in 1990 and produced many spectacular moments which endear him with the locals including one where he rounded off and scored a goal, against experienced Nigerian goalkeeper Willy Okpara in a match against BCC Lions.
Fate
He went to Germany to see his friend Binebi Numa was playing in the Third Division for Borussia Neunkirchen, and one morning Okocha accompanied Numa to training, where he asked to join in. The Neunkirchen coach was impressed with Okocha's skills and invited him back the next day before offering him a contract.
The famous goal
As a kid there was myth that okocha dribbled entire team 3 types before scoring khan thank God for youtube🤦🏾♂️
Jay signed for Eintracht Frankfurt in 1991 He continued to shine for the German side, one highlight being a goal he scored against Karlsruher SC, dribbling in the penalty box and slotting the ball past goalkeeper Oliver Kahn even going past some players twice. The goal was voted Goal of the Season by many football magazines, and also voted as 1993 Goal of the Year by viewers of Sportschau (an ARD German TV sports programme.
Fenerbahçe
Okocha acquired Turkish citizenship and chose the name Muhammed Yavuz while playing for Fenerbahçe
In his two seasons with the team, he amassed 30 goals in 62 appearances, many of them coming from direct free kicks, which became something of a trademark for him at the club.
Ozil recently said okocha was his idol.
Paris Saint-Germain
If you go to news-stand in Nigeria many will argue with you Okocha taught Ronaldinho all his skills 😂😂, while that is false the more experience Jay jay served as mentor to an upcoming bundle of talent in R10.
During his four-year stint with PSG, he played 84 matches and scored 12 goals
Bolton
Jay jay skills made him a favourite with the Bolton fans, with the team printing shirts with the inscription "Jay-Jay – so good they named him twice". He steered the team away from relegation with seven goals, including the team Goal of the Season in the vital league win against West Ham United. This was voted Bolton's best Premier League goal in a fans vote in 2008.
Jay jay was constantly causing headaches to premier league team SAF had to make special plans for him everytime the met but still finds a way to make mess of them.
Hull city
Okocha played for Hull city wearing jersey number 44.
He however was not able to contribute greatly to Hull's promotion campaign due to fitness and constant injury problems, playing only 18 games and scoring no goals. Hull still succeeded in winning promotion to the Premier League, for the first time in their 104-year history.
International career
In 1996, Okocha became a key member of an arguably more successful Nigerian side, their Olympic gold winning side at the Atlanta Games, later nicknamed the Dream Team by the Nigerian press.
Produced many spectacular moments that still endears him to Nigeria audience till date.
The other side of the maestro
Despite his ability, he was also known for being inconsistent.
Infact his team Emeka Ezeugo Blames Okocha For Eagles 2-1 Loss To Italy In ‘94 World Cup
He said jay jay loses the ball 75 percent of the time that he engages in fruitless dribbling and taking needless shot where he could have just passed 🤦🏾♂️.
Sancho: how it will affect manchester united
Sancho: a good move or not
Sancho has finally be unvieiled by the biggest club in the world 🌚.
I'm particularly happy for the lad it's a dream move for him, I mean who wouldn't want to come to united.
What he brings to united
Defenders will surely have lots of headaches dealing him. An highly technical, creative player, he is known for his trickery, pace and use of feints in one-on-one situations. Praying for united versus barcelona so he can teach alba some lessons and my regular customer chelsea 😄
*On the right*
United have been lacking a natural right-sided winger for years, which is why Solskjaer has always been so keen on signing Sancho, who has racked up 50 goals and 57 assists in 137 appearances in all competitions for Dortmund.
In the past, the Norwegian has been forced to play the two-footed and incredibly versatile Mason Greenwood out wide, leaving Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani to battle for the centre-forward role.
However, Greenwood prefers to play through the middle, so the acquisition of Sancho will mean his fellow England international will now be free to stake a claim for a starting spot in his best position.
Left side
One of Sancho's most attractive attributes is his versatility. Indeed, it is worth noting that he regularly played on the left flank last season in Dortmund's 3-4-3 formation, striking up a formidable partnership with Portugal wing-back Raphael Guerreiro.
However, it seems likely that Sancho will only be used on the left wing if United are short on numbers.
Finally No 9 role for greenwood
There has been talks about transitioning him into a centre-forward at some point. I hope he grabs the opportunity when it present itself this.
The increase in competition for places will also ensure that Solskjaer will always have a couple of potential game-changers on the bench.
No 10
The least likely but most intriguing option now available to Solskjaer is deploying Sancho as a No.10.
While his skills are best utilised in a wide role, as it allows him to cut inside and torment defenders with his "incredible dribbling skills", the former Manchester City youth-team star is capable of playing behind a striker, meaning he could stand in for Bruno Fernandes whenever required
Sancho's imminent arrival means that giving Fernandes a break is now a far more attractive option, given the England man could also shine as an attacking midfielder
Manchester united potential line up next season source @google
With the kind of squad manchester united possess now it will be criminal for Solskjaer not to a win trophy for united this season

My uncle's experience
So, earlier this year, I went to a camp ground with my wife and some of her folks. After they dropped their bags in the rooms, I quickly stepped out to stretch and then look around for what we could buy for dinner. Then I saw the security guy, greeted him, cracked a joke, we laughed, and spent some time gisting. In few minutes, it felt like we had known ourselves for a while. Then I headed to the restaurant just beside the lodge.
When I got back to the room, we discovered they had sold me spoilt food! They even microwaved the nonsense! I must return this o! Close to 8k food! People no get conscience at all. Why do eateries sell spoilt foods na??! If I come to visit you sef, you shouldn't serve me spoilt food for free, let alone, food I'm paying for? Just add that to your loss account biko and move on. But no, they must sell it, ruin their reputation and give you a hellish experience. Well, I ran back to the restaurant o! But, they had closed and it was around 11pm! If I keep this food till tomorrow, we don lose case be that o! it would be hard to claim the food was spoilt before I bought it. I was sad. Meanwhile, the security guy had noticed I was standing there with the food packs. So, he came to ask me what had happened and I told him.
Sharply, he just arranged one of boys in the area to track the lady down. They all know her. This was what he said: 'Please help this my friend...' According to him, he saw her closing just few minutes ago and she usually treks to her place on the camp ground. I was even too tired to run or walk any distance but this guy started running immediately. Omo! See action! It was like a rescue mission of some sort. He put all his energy into it, caught up with her and forced her to come back to the restaurant! I was shocked mehn!
When the lady arrived, I told her the food was spoilt and that she could even taste it to confirm. She didn't even bother to taste it, she just refunded me the entire money. She knew it was spoilt true true o! Wickedness in high places. I was so grateful. I remembered how he said, 'Please help this my friend' and I pondered...
Some of the people we are quick to look down on or consider unworthy of our attention might be of help to us in ways we can never imagine. Of course, it's good to be good just for the sake of being good, however it has its merits too. Imagine if the gate man had greeted me and I had shunned him or given him a funny attitude? The reason why he was so passionate about the whole thing was because of the way we had joked and laughed together earlier. I find it hard to look down on gate men, conductors, and the likes. It doesn't even cross my mind to treat them less than humans. Come to think of it, without a driver, a cook, a security man at the gate, a dry cleaner, a shoe repairer, etc, wouldn't life be more difficult for you? It all doesn't end like this kind of story but it's just good to treat everyone with respect and courtesy.
Nigerian Burials: the need to impress
The African value system is problematic we kill cows, goats, give souvenirs in burials in the name of honouring the dead, whereas in reality we are trying to impress friends, relatives etc.
This is a general african trend especially amongst christians. There are lots of people whose loved ones are laying in the mortuary because the kinsmen are outrageously demanding cows, yam etc to approve the burial. In some places in Africa people sell the properties just to give a loud impression, I seriously wonder how we got here.
Nigerians from different economic, social, ethnic and religious backgrounds have differed on the propriety or otherwise of organising lavish and elaborate burial ceremonies, following the loss of loved ones.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in Nigeria in February 2020, resulting in restriction of movements, religious and public gatherings as well as use of face masks and observance of other protocols, has shown that conduct of elaborate burials are unnecessary.
I believe such practice as “frivolous”, contending that although it was inherited, it was no longer in tune with the current economic realities in Nigeria.
This particular norm is Oftentimes in Yoruba land, you see people going the extra mile to bury someone they claim to love; they incur debts just to satisfy guests and be respected for being sociable.
But you discover that when the deceased was alive, hardly was he cared for by the same people as a way of demonstrating their so-called love for him.
It is wrong and absurd to spend lavishly on burials of someone you will never see again, it should be discontinued, no matter how long it might have been in existence.
Another reason it has continued is because of the foolish and erroneous belief in some cultures that the dead would be angry and not sleep in peace if not celebrated flamboyantly.
We should, however, realise that culture is not a destination but a journey of discovery, and when you discover that a particular way of life no longer serves any useful purpose, you stop it, rather than pass it on.

Death and Religious Beliefs
Christianity and Islam are the most common religions of Nigeria. These religions have their own customs and beliefs that are reflected in a family’s funeral traditions. However, they do have some similarities; many Christian and Muslim Nigerians believe God judges the deceased’s soul to determine their afterlife fate. Many also believe in reincarnation and that people come back as members of their mother’s or sister’s family.
*Nigerian Funeral Service*
A Nigerian funeral service may feel more like a party, as you’ll find a lot of music, singing, and dancing. They believe that the more music and dancing, the better chance the deceased’s soul has at a successful afterlife. The funeral readings depend on the deceased’s religious beliefs, but there’s usually prayers, poetry, and a eulogy. They also sacrifice goats and other animals for food during the celebration.
*Funeral attire*
The funeral attire depends on the deceased’s age and the family’s preferences. Some families choose a color combination — usually two colors — for funeral guests to wear. However, when attending the burial ceremony, everyone should wear dark-colored clothing — especially if it’s a burial for someone young. Traditionally, women wore cotton clothing that was locally tailored and dyed, while men wore wide-sleeved robes with elaborately-designed embroidery.

*Burial Traditions*
The burial preparations can last anywhere from several days to several weeks. Muslim Nigerians bury the deceased as soon as possible, but Christian Nigerians may wait longer. It’s important to give the deceased a proper burial, or else they may come back to haunt the living.
Muslim Nigerians usually bury the body facing Mecca. While some Nigerians bury people depending on their gender. They bury men facing east so he sees the sunrise; while they bury women facing west so she sees the sunset and can prepare dinner for her husband in her next life.
Your Pubic hair
The growth of pubic hair is everyone's right. It is also natural thing to have and is one of the features that become evident during the development of secondary characteristics during puberty.
In both males and females there is this development but the attitudes towards its retention vary enormously in people of both genders. The males do not see anything wrong with keeping it but females have a diametrically opposite view . As a result they get it shaved at intervals.
It is worth noting that the removal of pubic hair does have some adverse effects. Pubic hair exist for a number of reasons, chief among which is to protect the delicate skin of the pubic area from bruises and friction. The emergency of such wounds in the pubic area leaves the delicate skin defenceless against bacteria and viruses which can cause diseases. The viruses that easily comes to mind are herpes simple viruses which cause a lot of anxiety, pain and anguish to many who suffer from them. Bacterial infections often cause pimples and boils in the region with some requiring antibiotic treatment.
Additional benefit of having pubic hair is that they serve as conduit to waft odours that signal the development of our sexual maturity. Because of this role, it is usual to wash the area anytime one takes a bath with a generous application of lather and thorough washing with water. Afterwards what you must do to keep the region fresh is frankly your business. The key thing is to ensure that the underwear is kept clean, changed or washed frequently and clingy without being tight.
Tight underwear chaff the skin and may cause cuts and bruises to the skin that can lay open the possibility of skin infection. Failure to take good care of this tuft of hair in the pubic region has often led some to grow pubic lice which is as disgusting as it sounds.
It is therefore not more hygiene to remove your pubic hair. In fact you face the risk of more exposure to potential infections, diseases and discomfort. Pubic hair helps also to regulate body temperature because it is able to collect the swear that gathers on the skin there and allows it run off the skin using the pubic hair as the conduit and by so doing, remove the heat from skin and genitals. This complex action helps keep the whole region cool and comfortable. When this sweat is acted upon by the bacteria native to that area , it produces an attractive scent pleasurable to the opposite sex. This happens when such products are added to the pheromones which are more likely to be perceived rather than smelled, to produce the complex web of scents that attract people to one another. The mystery is perhaps not as important as we give it credit for but it is likely to be diminished if not lost entirely as a result of pubic hair.
Finally, the growth of pubic hair confirms our individual maturity and signals a readiness to procreate. However social perception of it's role in our body has rapidly changed in the last three decades not because of hard facts but because of imagination and fashion.
Men it's not a crime to cry
Crying is a healthy and necessary thing for all people including *MEN*
It's important to release stress, hormones and toxins from the body.
Society has condition men too feel no fear, never to be scared, never to cry regardless of the situation he finds himself
It's unfortunate that men are thought emotions must repressed and an artificial bravado projected all day everyday.
Crying shouldn't be seen as an expression of vulnerability or as response to being viewed as feminine. The belief that "boys don't cry" and "crying is for girls" are oppressive for men and women both. As long as emotion is equated with both females and weakness, women and girls will be perceived as irrational and incapable while men and boys will continue to repress their feelings of sadness and vulnerability.
Encouraging boys to suppress their emotions and be tough and stoic can have damaging consequences to their mental health and the society at large
Reasons you need to cry
Example to kids: it's a silent message to kids especially to boys that it's perfectly normal to cry and not a sign of weakness
Prevent you from cursing: words are a re like egg..
We need to be careful not to break relationship while saying things we necessarily don't mean when angry
It's attractive: ironically women find men who show emotions attractive instead of macho mancho
Show of joy: most must have had this phrase "cry of joy"
Crying isn't always a bad thing meeting a loved one after a longtime, accomplish a goal u felt impossible, birth of new baby
Show of emotions: it's perfectly normal for guys to cry.
Crypto
Cryptocurrencies have been attracting a lot of interest lately. You can regularly find them being mentioned on the news, from a relative, or on Netflix. Decryptionary is a dictionary covering the subject of cryptocurrency and its technology. I created Decryptionary as a point of entry for those who know very little about the subject.
Let’s start with the key terms:
What is cryptocurrency?
Cryptocurrency is an electronic money created with technology controlling its creation and protecting transactions, while hiding the identities of its users.
Crypto- is short for “cryptography”, and cryptography is computer technology used for security, hiding information, identities and more. Currency simply means “money currently in use”.
Cryptocurrencies are a digital cash designed to be quicker, cheaper and more reliable than our regular government issued money. Instead of trusting a government to create your money and banks to store, send and receive it, users transact directly with each other and store their money themselves. Because people can send money directly without a middleman, transactions are usually very affordable and fast.
To prevent fraud and manipulation, every user of a cryptocurrency can simultaneously record and verify their own transactions and the transactions of everyone else. The digital transaction recordings are known as a “ledger” and this ledger is publicly available to anyone. With this public ledger, transactions become efficient, permanent, secure and transparent.
With public records, cryptocurrencies don’t require you trust a bank to hold your money. They don’t require you trust the person you are doing business with to actually pay you. Instead, you can actually see the money being sent, received, verified, and recorded by thousands of people. This system requires no trust. This unique positive quality is known as “trustless”.
The first cryptocurrency was bitcoin.
What is bitcoin?
Bitcoin is the first digital cash created in 2009. It was made by an unknown person or group who went by the name, Satoshi Nakamoto.
Bitcoin is unique because it does not rely on government/bank created money. In addition, transactions occur directly between pseudonymous people (their real names are not known), meaning there are no banks or middlemen.
Each transaction is recorded on a digital record kept by many people across the world known as the “blockchain”. The data on the blockchain is publicly available and stored on many computers. Because there are so many copies being simultaneously maintained, the transaction and banking data is very safe and virtually impossible to manipulate.
Individuals protect their bitcoins using their digital wallet. A wallet is software that can only be accessed by using a key, which is a long string of letters and numbers.
Bitcoin’s price has risen into the thousands of dollars, but you can still own bitcoin by purchasing a fraction of it for dollars.
What is blockchain?
Blockchain is technology for creating permanent, secure digital recordings that don’t rely on any single person or group. Blockchains can record any information, though the first example was created to record bitcoin transactions.
Imagine the blockchain as a book of records. Each page in that book, is a block, and can record anything. Blocks are created one after the other, chained to each other creating what we know as the blockchain.
Multiple blockchain records are maintained simultaneously by many of unrelated individuals and their computers, making it cloud storage on steroids. Updates are seen immediately and manipulation is extremely difficult/impossible. This positive quality known of many people keeping their own copies of the blockchain is known as “distributed”.
There are hundreds of blockchains created by many groups to records all sorts of information including art, medical records, computer information and much more.
But if a blockchain is not distributed among many individuals and instead run by one government, organization, group or person, than it is not at a blockchain at all. A centralized system like that is simply a database.
What is a smart contract?
A smart contract mixes blockchain technology with contracts to make a more efficient and affordable system of doing business.
In a smart contract, two people doing business agree to exchange money for something else. if the requirements set by both parties of the contract are met on a date, it activates, delivering what was purchased. If the requirements are not met, the contract deactivates and returns whatever it was storing.
For example, Alice wants 1 bitcoin from Bob and Bob wants $5,000. Both Bob and Alice agree that on January 1, 2018, both the bitcoin and cash will be deposited to the accounts linked with the smart contract.
On January 1st, the contract looks to see if both people fulfilled their obligations. If so, it will release the payment and bitcoin to their new owners. If not, the bitcoin and money are returned to their original owners.
Because the contract is publicly available and unalterable, it is very easy to keep both Bob and Alice responsible for their end of the deal. If anyone somehow violates the agreement, the proof of what they should have done is easily obtained.
What is mining?
Mining is the computer process of recording and verifying information on the digital record known as the blockchain. Because mining requires computer power, people do this work in return for money. Each computer that fulfills this process can earn a reward in digital money and sometimes brand new, virgin coins.
To keep the blockchain network running smoothly, only one block can be created at a time. There are several different ways to do this:
The most common is known as proof of work and it required computers work hard at solving a math problem. The first computer to solve this problem would discover a new block and could record information on the blockchain. This earned them a reward in brand new digital money plus fees paid for each transaction.
The next mining technique was called proof of stake. With this system, people who represent a large ownership of coins are selected by the software to create new blocks. Competing people are selected on a lottery-system based on chance. With proof of stake, no new coins are created. Instead fees for verifying and recording transactions are collected.
With over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and many more being created each month, new ways of mining are being explored and discovered
ME 101: the introduction
Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start from. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes.
I am someone who is positive about every aspect of life. There are many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write; I like to think, I like to dream; I like to listen, I like to act and I like to play soccer.
I'm a Manchester United fan and I strongly believe CRISTIANO RONALDO IS THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME 😌, I like the other guy too😂😂 although he has broken my heart atleast four times and it still hurts🥺
I will be writing subsequently about it later.
I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night; I like to feel the music flowing on my face, I like to smell the wind coming from the ocean. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late; I like to be surrounded by people. I like to party and I like to be alone, weird isn't it? 😅
I'm a foodie (prepare amala and ewedu with abula and some orisirisi brokoto aboidi and etc) or plenty brown plantain and beans 😋
I pray I don't become an esau because food
All these epistle without even mentioning my name 😅😅
I'm Pelz
