Don't forget to read, comment & share.........Enjoy! Zha BOBO Omorayo sat across this fine boy and all she can think is Darn! " Bobo yi fine sha , is he going to be a yoruba demon or angel?. She has seen Olawale in church 2 sundays ago when her friend Tania had pointed at him and said "see my boyfriend", she had taken one look at his side view, full connected beard in place and she knew this is the kind of guy Tania would have attracted. Omorayo took a look at herself and her butt out belly and knew this guy may not even give her as much as a side eye (there was a lil jab in her belly pulling her out of the low self-esteem pit she is about to embark on). The next sunday after then Omorayo was jejely teaching her sabbath school when the broda sat in her class with another mutual friend George, she ha...

Hey Lovelies! Happy new month! Can you smell Christmas already?? You bet I can perceive the strong smell of holiday, freedom & celebration ahead. Continuing our Friends series, check here  Friends get level   if you missed the previous post. Today we would be discussing Toxic friendship, Dictionaries.com defines Toxic as relating to human as  causing  unpleasant  feelings;  harmful  or  malicious.  We all need friends, I mean supporting, caring close knit of people who patiently listen without judgement and correct in love. Let's get right into it:  For your mental health and well-being, you should try your hardest to surround yourself with people who uplift and inspire you, not drag you down and discourage you. You need to have relationships with people who bring out the best in you, not the stress in you. If you notice any of these behaviors in your relationships, you might need to reevaluate your connection ...

Hello Lovelies! How have you been? I miss y'all, hope you missed me too? We are starting "The Friends Series! Yippee! I hope you are as excited as I am. Let's get into it. How well do you know me?, you should know that my best TV series is FRIENDS! ( and I am not sorry about it ). As an only child, I have always taken my friends very very personal, once I identify that you are a friend forget it, it is for life . So starting this is more exciting for me as it will be educative for everyone of us.  On this post we are starting with the different levels of friendship, I heard about the different levels of friendship in my singles fellowship ( yeah judge me, I am one of those people ) and it really opened my mind to acknowledge that not all the people in my life that I had called friends were worth that exalted position, most of them were just acquaintances and colleagues. Do you call everybody your friend? even though deep down you know this person wouldn...

Hello Lovelies 😍!, I am delivering as promised. I believe as young professionals or professionals of any age, NETWORKING cannot be over emphasized, the wise saying that says 'Your Network is Your Net Worth' is truer especially in Nigeria at a party,where you have to know the person in charge of jollof and drinks at parties to be fed. Perusing LinkedIn, I stumbled on this article and I believe it will bless you as it did me. As always do not forget to comment and share after reading😚. Bless up! Perhaps one of the most important relationship you as a young professional can have in your network is:   1. The Recruiter relationships , whether gainfully employed or looking to pivot careers, recruiters offer a critical window into the market. Even when you’re not looking, you want to understand the level of interest in what you do (what is your marketability?), the compensation for your role (what is your market value?) and the typical scope of responsibility, budget a...

Dear Lovelies! How have you been? I am back from my Chartered Institute of Personnel Management (CIPM) exams, it was fine thank you for asking guys . Y'all know I love writing for you guys to read and learn, reading, laughing and generally having fun however, my passion is centered around people and the best way to channel this passion professionally is through Human Resources aka HR. Kindly enjoy with me as I continue on my journey to become the best Human Resource Manager/Director you will know. This I read from Forbes on LinkedIn. Please read, comment and share.  Professionals tend to make things seem very complicated, in an effort to make the the recipients of their advice feel stupid, afraid, intimidated and prone to follow orders. Let’s pick a profession like medicine. Why do doctors use such ridiculously complicated terms? They could easily substitute ominous-sounding symptoms for “boo-boos” and take all the stress and anxiety out of the situation. They don't do...

Hello lovelies! I am back! Read and Learn. Do not forget to comment. Thank you  It looks like couples who like to eat together, definitely stay together. In fact, a new study suggests that a couple who share a love for good food are most likely to make their relationship last . In other words, good marriages revolve around good eating. According to  Delish.com , a poll of married friends says that their relationships are steeped in decisions revolving around food. Yes, that means that married husbands and wives spend most of their time deciding on what to eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, for better or for worse. "What to eat is the decision you make most often as a couple," one newlywed explained, according to the site. "So if you both don't like to eat or like to eat the same things, [I'd] think you'd basically be having a lot of small fights constantly." In addition, eating also establishes a level of intimacy that can’t really be...
