THREAD: MY 6-MONTH JOURNEY INTO PRODUCT DESIGN BEGINS Inspired by @barisukafx 1/20

By breadcrumbing Instead of 200k at once, make it 20k and spread it across months. Instead of getting her that iPhone 18 that you can comfortably buy, get her a 14PM Instead of opening a business, give her 20k every now and then while reminding her to get a job Instead of calling her today, and calling again tomorrow, call today and don't call again until she calls If she called to ask for money, that does not qualify as a call. Instead of asking her to come over this weekend, and then again next weekend, ask her this week, and don't ask again until she invites herself The point is 1. whenever you think of giving her something that costs x, divide x in half, then give her that half Even/especially if you can comfortably afford x. 2. Give her room to reciprocate the bare minimum things that she can reciprocate. That way, it is much easier to gauge her commitment to you. And the easiest example here is calls. If you're calling more than her, whilst spending on her, what exactly is she doing for you then. She may not be able to spend much money on you so the asymmetry there is expected. But anything else that she can do for you to balance what you do for her, you have to take a step back and allow her do it. That is where calls and initiating visits come in. She should be calling you more than you call her. That is one of the easiest ways to know when she starts cheating on you - because the calls will stop. But if you're the one doing most of the calling while also doing all of the spending, then you're setting yourself up. Your financial investment in her must be reciprocated by investments from her in other areas. And no; sex is not an investment because it is an infinite resource she gives to everybody

Brilliant win. Brilliant rotation (resting key players for Aston Villa). Three massive points. Foden's hat-trick (the sniper is well and truly back). Loved Allan, lovely deliveries into the box (quite dangerous every time). Rico with two assists, won't get many flowers, but he had a superb game, setting up two of Phil's goals. Mcaidoo was electric when he came on (brilliant assist for Foden's third). Anderson (finally got his first) & Enzo in the middle were brilliant, Cherki with a goal of his own, doing Cherki things to defenders again. Nice to see Samba get minutes too. Khusanov at the back, solid as ever. Good performance overall. Now Villa. Come on, Citeh.

Happy for him, mhen.

“Next time you are coming to my office make sure you comb your hair” If Monaco score one yesterday I for de your office?

Man city is balling. Everyone of them is playiiiiiiiiiiiiggggggg😋

I have a suggestion but it may be perceived as scent-imental. Buy the perfume, ‘’rent de due’’ and that’s just my two scents.

Hi 👋🏾 I'm Outside for the raenest event.

House series teaches you that while sex may not be spiritual, there are many things that could be transferred through sex. The person who transferred it to you might have been exposed during a trip outside the city, in school, at work, by what they ate, their environment or by someone else they slept with. Interestingly, the disease might be dormant in them but it has triggerred a chain reaction in you that is about to kill you. There are many instances House would have exhausted all his medical knowledge and epiphany would hit him. He would ask the patient to confess if they want to live. "Who did you sleep with?" By checking the root - the person you slept with and how they got exposed, - House could know what led to the problem that is killing you and then offer the right treatment. I'm not a medical personnel, so I don't know if the series is exaggerated, but there is a lot to learn from it. What you don't know can actually kill you. Sickness no send your papa ignorance.

I have been taking care of them since they arrived Lagos. Things we do for love ❤️

He writes so well.

I understand that vendors are busy. I also understand that not every inquiry will turn into a sale. But there is a difference between being busy and being dismissive. When someone takes the time to greet you before asking for something, the least you can do is respond to the greeting. It costs nothing. Let me be clear: I am all for mutual respect between vendors and clients. That is why I have never been an advocate of the “customer is always right” idea. I have made my position clear on this common fallacy before, especially in situations where clients or customers are rude, entitled, or disrespectful towards vendors. Respect should go both ways. A vendor is not obligated to absorb insults, unreasonable demands, or bad behaviour simply because someone is a potential customer. At the same time, vendors also have a responsibility. The way you treat people who are bringing their money to you matters more than many realise. Courtesy goes a long way in patronage and referrals. People remember how you made them feel, especially when they had options. A customer who feels respected is more likely to buy from you again, recommend you to others, or return even when your price is not the cheapest. A customer who feels ignored will simply move on, and they will take others with them. You don’t have to be overly warm or chatty. You just need to show basic respect. A simple “Good morning, how can I help you?” or even “Good morning, it’s not available at the moment” is enough. It shows that you are present, professional, and that you value the person on the other side of the chat. In business, especially in a competitive market, relationships matter. And relationships are built, or broken, by small things. Courtesy is one of those small things that compounds over time. Mutual respect is what keeps the relationship healthy on both sides. How you respond when someone greets you while trying to do business with you says a lot about how you run your business. And how you carry yourself as a customer also says a lot about you. Courtesy is part of professionalism.

Life lately 🥂🥂🥂

All these goats you see are still kids, only a month old😎😎😎

Caption is so, so, stupid.

Congratulations 🍾 big man @Wizarab10 Thank you for honoring our invitation and the great work you’re doing out here!

I just bought my first camera and a DJI mic🥹❤️ If you told me a while ago that I’d be able to afford my own content creation equipment, I honestly wouldn’t have believed you I’ve spent so long creating with whatever I had, dreaming of days like this A massive thank you to @gamdom and the entire team for believing in me and making this possible You’ve genuinely changed my life, and I don’t take any of it for granted Let’s tell stories better and make Gamdom no 1

I’ll also be providing free jerseys for each of the 24 teams participating in the competition, along with free tracksuits for their coaches and also a money prize for man of the match,all this is funded by me and some friends as our way of giving back to the community and supporting young footballers. We want to encourage them to pursue their dreams and remind them that, with dedication and opportunity, those dreams are achievable.

This year has been one of the most unexpected and rewarding chapters of my life. I started with a ₦30k salary, then landed another role at ₦70k mid-year. That moved to ₦100k, then ₦170k. I also secured a three-month contract worth ₦300k,not a bad run at all. My modeling side hustle has grown just as steadily. The agency raised my rates from ₦25–40k to ₦50–150k. I booked my first skincare brand shoot and was genuinely elated. I have another one next month, confirmed a full month in advance that early booking reminds me how valued I am in this space. On the personal side, I’ve finally stepped away from endless singlehood and situationships. I’m in the most peaceful relationship I’ve ever had. I still overthink, and that sometimes creates friction, but we’re learning each other and choosing to do life together every day. These wins don’t erase the hard moments, but they remind me how far I’ve come and how much more is possible. I’m also saving my first 1m in four months and I’m at half a million 🌚. Two months to go 🤎. Dear Oluwaferanmi, you’ve got this 😭.
