Le liste de contrôle (The Checklist, French)

-

Liste de contrôle is simply a list of things to be verified and I am so darn sure everyone has one either relationship wise or career wise.

I can recall plenty of times when my friends teased me or a friend of ours about dating a guy and our instantaneous reply will be, 'God forbid.'
Why? Because we have a liste de contrôle,  consciously or unconsciously.

The usual list for ladies run from #sixfoottall to #caring but now some ladies do not care about the six foot with abs and magazine cover body. They just want a guy that will love them and someone who is comfortable enough to make them happy.

Same goes for guys, they have this list of how their dream girl should be or what assets she should possess but it is important to know that there is no dream girl or dream guy anywhere instead, you are the one to make your girl or guy become your dream partner.

I can literally see some people scrunching their face, 'Why do we have to go through this?' Because you are the one with the list.

No one wants to settle for less and so you have to work to get the best, that's just how it works.

Liste de contrôle has both its downside and upside. It will help you know what you want and keep your head in the game to achieve that thing or get that person and it can also make you blind to opportunities that are staring at you right in your face.

It might make you miss the 'Right' person but of course love is stronger than a list and that is why your partner right now might not even be the image in your head when you turned Sixteen or Twenty but the important thing is that no matter how long your list looks or what is on it, the first thing should be your happiness. That way, you won't miss out because sometimes what we want is not what we need and what we need might not be what we have but when we are happy where we are and living to get better, le liste de contrôle recevoir vie et nous êtes capable à travail sur ce.*

*(the checklist receives life and we are able to work on it)

The Pains of an Entrepreneur

I don't know what you are doing today but just keep doing it. No matter what! No matter how hard it is. As I write this article, I am battling with torrent of tears threatening to spill over. I am tired. I feel like a failure. Every time I try to get back on my two feet concerning my business, I just get pushed over by challenges and Whatnots. Right now, I feel like Dan-i in that Korean movie, Romance when she was trying to get a job after staying at home for years taking care of her husband who divorced her in the end and her child. Getting back into the market after staying away for so long is so much more harder than you might think. It takes a lot emotionally, financially and that is why whatever you are doing right now, no matter how hard it is to get money to keep buying or making your product, just try because once you stop, to get back in there takes a lot and I know that now. And customers do not even know the pains entrepreneurs go through, the risk, the...

“What is this nitori olorun?" You ask. You are tired of your hair, even the devil, the father of all liars knows that. You have downloaded videos on how best to rock your natural hair and have poured litres of coconut oil into your hair but the hair detests APC's change. “Ahhh, shebi Omoni Oboli and Adesua are rocking their natural hair well. Why is my own different God?" Your Chi looks down from Heaven but concentrates on His twenty four elders instead. He does not have time for your complains this Saturday afternoon. You make up your mind angrily, you had to relax your hair that day. You cannot condone this rubbish  any longer. You walked into the MANYA MANYA HAIR SALON two streets away. Did you walk? No, you ran. Your hairdresser insists that your natural hair is too weak so you will have to weave it for the next three months. There are many customers waiting to have their hair done so you will have to wait. A middle aged woman comes in minutes later. She g...

Hmm, wahala is happening every day o. E don tire me sef. In relationships, Ladies have one problem. We tend to get too jealous. And jealousy is a deadly pregnant poison, it warms its way into your heart and births several bad habit like Nagging, Distrust, Unnecessary complaints, and so much more. The oldest way jealousy sets in is through MONITORING. When a lady picks up the phone of her man and starts scrolling and checking, what is she looking for? Answers. Answers to the questions running through her mind, why did this man come home late? Why is he not eating her food? Why is he saying he does not have money? And then the next thing that comes to mind is that chat that looks so friendly with the sexy mama on her profile picture. He is cheating! Gbam! His promiscuous behaviour is revealed. When you keep monitoring someone that is innocent, sooner or later he will just get frustrated and begin to do those things you are accusing him of. My piece, it is hard o, me ...
