These are my picks.

INTELLIGENCE N500. An intelligent woman would respect me and would save me from unnecessary marital stress. She could even bring me out when I'm lost in my hardest time.

GODLY N300. This is my area, I wouldn't want a "Mary Amaka" as a wife, per se, but I prefer being Godly to being wild.

BEAUTY N200. Since I'm not exactly handsome, I think it would do my children good if I marry an angel as a mother to them. Somebody wouldn't want to give birth to prayer points as children.

Forget good in bed or good cook; I can teach her the BED THINGY and I can proudly cook my meals as I learned them as a survival skill.

The first three are my choice though, but if there was a better credit score I would try other options sha.

Question: What's the difference between Colon, Semi-Colon, and comma.

From what I’ve learned in my English classes,

• COLON (:)

A colon is for introducing information that comes after the previous clause.

>They ran up the pitch: they scored!
>I have something to say: I love you, I always have.

• SEMI-COLON (;)

Is used when a period could be and connects two independent clauses that are related to each other.
*The plant I rescued from my friend’s house was looking sad from neglect; new, bright green leaves gave me hope that it would survive.*

• COMMAS (,)

Are used, I believe, to separate an independent clause from a dependent clause. That is just one of it's many functions, but this is how it differs from semi-colons and colons.
*She lost her bag, certificates, and missed her flight on the same day.*

Hope I've answered your question?

Nothing gets people's attention quicker than injustice. You may think that injustice doesn't sell, but that depends on the context.

Charities don't think twice about it. Show a child dying from starvation and we're on their side in a sixpence.

Or perhaps we see someone being treated unfairly and a fund is opened to help, many of us gladly contribute.

This is also why the word 'fair' is so powerful in negotiations. The second we bring up fairness, everyone takes sides, and that pretty much sums up what injustice is all about - It's yet another divide and conquer strategy.

Blair Warren's famous persuasion one-liner springs to mind:

“People will do anything for those who encourage their dreams, justify their failures, allay their fears, confirm their suspicions, and help them throw rocks at their enemies.”

But to make it work, first you need to reveal the injustice. Luckily, this is usually simple.

Most people can't stand it when the undeserving get lucky (we may pretend it's OK, but under the hood, most of us harbour a little resentment).

If you've been in copywriting for a few years, and you're still being paid peanuts, then some blow-hard appears from nowhere claiming to be a 7 figure copywriter, you're going to feel a little peeved (I know I did).

But that's OK. We know they cheated, and we can too if we really wanted. Anyone can rob a bank if they don't care about the risks. But we're better than that.

We can use injustice, curiosity, anger, controversy, or any of a whole bunch of other angles to get attention instead, and with that we're off to the races.

The best copywriters in the world are those who are curious about life, read a great deal, have many hobbies, have a variety of interests, often master many skills, get bored and then look for other skills to master. -

This thread is for parents. MUST READ

1. Don’t make your daughters assistant parents to their brothers. If he scatters the room, tell him to arrange it. If he rough handles his clothes, he should wash them. Never make them feel that their sister is there to SERVE them.

2. Your boys should be fully involved in domestic chores. There should be a timetable — the day he sweeps, cleans the house, and also cooks. You should let your sons know that everyone that loves eating should know how to cook! Let them know it’s a basic survival skill!!!!

3. Do not ask your girls to respect their brothers because they are boys. I see this a lot in homes. The parents will tell the girls: “why would you talk to him like that? He’s a man..”. No! Let your boys know that if they want respect from their girls, they must earn it!

4. Do not stop your boys from expressing vulnerability. Don’t tell them to man up. Don’t shame them for crying. Let them express their full humanness. Boys are humans. Boys have emotions. Boys should not suppress emotions.

5. When your girl child makes a mistake, do not say things like: “is this how you’ll take care of your husband?”. Her life is more than having a man, teach her that things should be done right not because of having and ‘keeping’ a man!

Don’t compare your kids based on gender. Some parents do this. When their girl child is doing better than their boys, they say things like: “Are you not ashamed that your sister is doing better than you?! And you’re a boy...”. You‘re teaching him that excellence isn’t for women.

7. Make your boys feel accountable. Some parents will scold their girls over something they’ll ignore the boys when they do it. Don’t make your boys feel that their standards are lower, & women have higher moral standards! You’re breeding spoilt boys who become terrible partners.

Parents, you need to realize that more than you’re grooming your children, you’re almost grooming someone’s friend, wife, husband, and we have many imbalanced marriages because boys were groomed to feel so entitled, and not accountable.

We have many women suffering in marriages because they end up with grown men who can’t do nothing that offer the barest minimum and expecting maximum results. These women keep sticking with abusive men because as kids their parents made them feel keeping a man was all...

So guys I guessed it's wise to give out 30 facts about me. Don't worry, I won't bore you with words.

So seat tight, seep any juice of your choice and come with me on a blissful ride through my profile and I promise the best ride (eeh eehhm).

First start, about me;

My name is Ekene Smart Joseph, I became 25 this year on June 06, currently running a Bachelor of Arts' Degree program studying English with NOUN.

My personality, from other people's comments and compliments I'm able to glean from them that I'm good, can be trusted, I don't pocknose in uninvited gist, I'm a strong advocate for soundness of mind (mental health), and lastly, I'm a food lover; we're inseparable.

Furthermore, I'm an Introvert (don't mind my style online ooo, I'm different offline 🤣😜) I am a sapiophile; for clarity's sake, I derive joy romantically, sexually, or otherwise from intelligent persons and intelligence as a whole.

I have a ton of works I do,

My late mum would always say...
"onye togbo ogu, otogbo afo ya".

I guessed it right, you didn't get the gist. Not to worry, that's from my dialect and it simply translates to...
" he who abandons his work abandons his stomach".

On this note, I have gotten some skills to my belt, on some days I am an Email/Affiliate Marketer while on other days I'm a full-time Graphic Designer and copywriter for marketers.

As of now, I think I've written like 20 things about me...wait don't tell me you were waiting for me to get to 30, are you? If I do that, you've automatically gotten first hand info niyen nah.

Probably 6 among every 10 guys have been emotionally drained. "It isn't easy to be in a relationship" they'd say.

The energy directed in a relationship is entirely different from the ones portrayed outside for sighting. I've met some folks who complain bitterly 'bout one problem they have encountered or another.

There are always two sides to a coin; the head and the tail. Every action has pros and cons. Relationships do, too.

There are tons of practical and emotional benefits/pros to being in a healthy partnership, including having someone to hold your hand through the bad times and marathon your favorite show with you.

Here are the biggest ways that being in love can put you in better health.
It can make you happier. ...
It can help you to live longer. ...
It can help you age more gracefully. ...
It can reduce stress. ...
It can make you feel less pain. ...
It can prevent a heart attack. ...
It can help you sleep better. ...
It can help you heal faster.

However, relationships incorporate cons too, which, to me can be easily avoided if we remain single 🤣🤣. Here are a few of them:

1. Going out with your single friends is not as fun as you remember.
2. You need to plan to see them or else it won't happen.
3. You have someone to report back to.
4. You know you can't explore anything new without breaking up with your partner. You gerrit, if you don't gerrit..forget about it.

In a "single and happy" life, no one..absolutely no one cares the f*k about your things. You remain accountable to yourself alone, you don't get to share other people's burdens, no anxiety in respect of not checking up on them at the right time.

You get to comment flirtatiously on other opposite sex's posts without fear of offending someone else. You engage in mature conversations with an open mind to learn and not get overcriticized.

GET THIS, I'm not preaching that being single is ideal the same way I'm not soliciting for singlehood, but just stating the obvious pros and cons of being in and out of a relationship.

My dear, let me not deceive you, relationships are sweet oooo especially with a genuine soul. They effortlessly see to it that your efforts are not being taken for granted. You feel blessed once you think about them.

I've eaten my fair share of breakfast. It's been served differently with some being heavy and some being light.

If mother earth smiles at you and decides to bless you with an angel in compensations for all the breakfast you've been served, my bro/sister cherish them so jealously.

Meanwhile, those of us who are still "in the market" waiting for somebody's son or daughter to find us (in Tiwa Savage's voice) may God grant us our heart desire. Can I hear Amen?
