2. Best Student in Strategic.
communication.

3. Best Communication Student
Award.

The above is within the context of my 2021 post on social media and is in no way presumptuous but uprightly to inspire – I could not enroll at a tertiary institution in 1997 because my single mother did not have the funds. If free SHS was available back in the day, most likely I would have graduated in 2000/2001.

My career took off and I have been blessed but as someone who relishes education getting that degree was just a matter of time.

I complete my Masters program this December and I am sorely motivated and committed to going even beyond, God willing.

I thank all those who supported me and are supporting me during this journey."

4 signs of a weak man in a relationship

Posted: 26 Jul 2021 09:00 AM PDT

A truly weak man is someone that you carry through life.

Rather than an equal relationship, you do all the dirty work while he's just along for the ride.

Though it may bring out your nurturing side, you'll soon tire of it and leave it for a responsible man.

He doesn't listen
Every committed man in a relationship must give a listening ear to his partner. He must listen to his partner's needs, suggestions and take her advice in matters regarding their relationship.

This doesn't mean they're going to agree, but they're going to listen to what their partner has to say and go from there.

 He doesn't stand up for you
A guy must stand for his woman, his friends who are verbally-bashing you or some random guy at a bar.

They're supposed to be your support system. A weak man will ignore it because he doesn't want to get involved or will join the others and tease you. But that isn't a real man at all.

You make all the plans
Whether it is a dinner date or friend's wedding, he doesn't take any active role in the planning.

A weak man is someone who lets everyone else work for them. They don't want to be a leader, they want to be a follower and be taken care of.

You clean up after him
He leaves his clothes lying around or has food wrappers everywhere, but the thing is, though he can clean up his own mess, he doesn't. Instead, he waits for you to do it. You clean up after him in more than a physical sense.

If he has unpaid bills or needs an excuse to bail an event, you're the one doing his dirty work. It's like he's a giant baby.

"We're activity to be the ones to rob the first step right here," Sam Bankman-fried, , the billionaire founder of the belvedere, which operates from Hong Kong, stated on on Sunday. "today, we're putting off excessive leverage from FTX. The choicest allowable will be x."


The announcement got here afterwards The ny instances, in an editorial posted on-line Friday, unique the harmful trades provided on FTX and different international exchanges like Binance and BitMEX that accelerated a worldwide crash in might also. That month, greater than $ billion worth of those bets had been asleep on cryptocurrency exchanges global.


Bankman-fried spoke of lowering the advantage amounted to "a step within the route the business is headed, and has been headed for ages," including that "whereas we think that lots of the arguments are excessive advantage pass over the mark, we additionally don't think it's a crucial a part of the crypto ecosystem, and in some circumstances it's now not a match part of it."


World platforms like FTX permit merchants to borrow large when betting on expense fluctuations — traders do not buy and promote cryptocurrencies however as an alternative adumbrate where prices within the underlying property will arch. those bets, called derivatives, suggest that if traders put up $,, the exchange extends them credit score to enable them to make of venture on the longer term cost of cryptocurrency worth as lots as $, on FTX. Now, with the brand new cap, the highest in that transaction would be $,.


This type of transaction isn t imagined to be available to nonprofessional buyers in the u.s., but — as a minimum historically — a few of those traders used workarounds to trade on the websites.

Advantage leaves traders plenty greater prone to having their debts asleep because of an automated allowance call if the expense of cryptocurrency moves in opposition t their prediction, and that they will not have satisfactory accessory of their debts to lower back up their bets.

That is what happened in might also. as soon as costs of cryptocurrency begun dropping based on bazaar-relocating pursuits, like china's announcement of a authoritative crackdown or the determination by means of Tesla to halt Bitcoin funds, it automatically prompted the exchanges to cash the money owed of the most particularly leveraged traders before their accessory became insufficient to cover their positions.

"These liquidations are absolutely a big factor in the rate crash," Clara Medalie, the research lead at Kaiko, a cryptocurrency bazaar information provider in Paris, noted, abandoning the sudden abatement in cryptocurrency cost in mid-may additionally. "it is a abandoned aeon."

Bankman-fried pointed out on Sunday that simplest a small percentage of merchants buy talents of the maximum available leverage. He also argued that FTX had beneath liquidations than different exchanges and he had lengthy approved to "inspire responsible buying and selling."

Nevertheless, he had envisioned in an interview last week that some traders may not welcome any circulate to reduce advantage. "we d get purchaser clamor if we got rid of it, and we'd get actual spoiled columnist," he talked about. "but it surely might possibly be the correct element to do."

Bankman-fried additionally stated that high advantage created a perception that exchanges like his encouraged harmful trading, in spite of the fact that he asserted this became no longer a fair cessation.

Binance, the realm's biggest cryptocurrency change, offers leverage up to one hundred twenty five instances. Changpeng Zhao, the chinese-Canadian founding father of Binance and a developer archetype his knowledgeable roots to wall road, has talked about that the intense advantage abstracts have been just a "marketing gimmick" and that almost all merchants do not utilize them.

Timothy Massad, the previous chairman of the commodity Futures buying and selling commission, which regulates derivatives within the united states, mentioned that he embraced FTX's decision and that he hoped other systems like Binance would comply with.

The change, he talked about, should be would becould very well be inspired in part by way of  FTX's success this past week in raising $ million in venture capital, probably the most anytime for a cryptocurrency alternate. The high-advantage offerings on FTX are greater of a reputational legal responsibility as Bankman-absurd appears to extend his belvedere's global reach, Massad referred to.

"Sam has larger visions and this stream eliminates a beam point that may get within the method," Massad spoke of; "retract it off the table."

5 things you should not be scared to do for your partner

Posted: 26 Jul 2021 05:00 AM PDT

A relationship coming to an end is one of the most predictable things ever. Everyone goes into relationships with a fear in some corner of their mind, based on the possibility of the relationship going south.

And it looks like this is truer these days, where intent can never be ascertained, regardless of what people say, and where the most apparently great partners could just be putting up a show, only to reveal the scum dimension of their personality, somewhere down the line.

What this breeds is a fear and reluctance to go the distance with people. Even when the heart desires to love in an unfettered, unrestricted way, these worries nag at the back of your mind, making you love half-heartedly and cautiously.

While this cannot be knocked due to the realities of dating these days, we still need to mention that eventually, you will have to let go of these fears and bring the walls down. The risks are there, yes, but so are the possibilities.

When you get into a relationship and you intend to make something great out of it for the long haul, here are five things you should not be scared to for that man or woman

1. Trust

Eventually you will just have to build this. It may take a while and you may have to place one block on the other till the trust becomes a huge, unbreakable wall but by all means, get there.

2. Love

Yes, we all say love is not enough to build a relationship that stands the test of time. But that does not mean it has to be absent. Don't be scared to love and love hard.

Que sera sera. Eventuarry.

3. Share

What's love without sharing? Yes, some people take and take and never give and then the rule changes when it gets to that stage.

But prior to finding out about that; don't be scared to share. Be the partner who gives time, gives gifts and other things. It does not always end in tears. With a partner who also understands the importance of this concept, it definitely will not end in tears.

And if it does, it'll be for another reason. Even at that, you can hold your head up for having loved the right way.

4. Go all out

No half-hearted efforts. You either go hard or go home.

To be honest dating is not compulsory and until you find someone deserving of this level of effort, maybe you should not just bother.

5. Loyalty

So if everyone decides to be loyal and faithful and not cheat on their partner, maybe cheating's hatchet will finally be buried. Right?

Around the world: Visit Senegal and bask in culture and history

Posted: 26 Jul 2021 04:30 AM PDT

This week on around the world, we would be going to Senegal and exploring this beautiful West African country.

Senegal is a country rich in historical and cultural heritage with amazing places to visit and an interesting culture to experience.

Often times when we dream of travelling out of Nigeria, it is cities in America, countries in Europe or exotic islands we dream of but, we have so much to explore and experience in our immediate surroundings.

Although the Senegalese people have their own indigenous languages, French is their lingua franca. So you might want to have your duolingo app handy.

A round trip to Senegal (a plane ticket that covers the price to and fro) costs a little over N200,000.

As identified by UNESCO, Senegal has about seven cultural sites. Ile de Goree is one of them. You get to see where slaves were kept. This peaceful and tranquil island once housed the horrors of slave trade.

The Ile de Goree is a 28-hectare colonial building covered in bougainvillea flowers. The entire island is painted in pastel colors with a waterfront and colorful boats.

While in Senegal, you might also see the Djoudj National Bird Sanctuary. It is a wetland that houses about 1.5 million migratory birds like the pink flamingo, great egret, African spoonbill and many others.

Saint Louis is also a cultural heritage site and one of the most beautiful places in Senegal. It is an island built in the middle of the Senegal River Estuary, it has so many beautiful colonial structures and UNESCO calls it a "subtle marriage between land and water."

At St Louis, you can visit museums and art galleries, wander around and take in the architecture, visit the parks, ride in boats, or attend the Jazz festival in May.

Senegal also has a plethora of beaches and resorts.

One of the most famous resorts is La Petite Cote. La Petite Cote is an exotic chalet-like resort with a pool, beach, and a waterside. It is a perfect holiday getaway.

Senegal also has one of the most colorful markets, with its stalls painted in bright and diverse colors.

If you recall, there is a popular outfit worn by Nigerian mothers called the Senegalese dress. These dresses were colorful with different motifs and designs on them.

When in Senegal, stopover at their markets and buy a variety of things like fabrics, woven baskets, jewelry and so much more.

The Senegalese people are very hospitable and there is so much to experience in that country. I am certain they would make your stay a memorable one if you choose to travel there.

NB: We can't travel everywhere. But we can see the world through the eyes of others. This series explores the world and the country (Nigeria) by having interviews with people who have travelled there, sharing in their experiences and learning their lessons.

5 bad beards habits you need to do away with

Posted: 26 Jul 2021 03:30 AM PDT

No matter the efforts put in place to groom your beards, avoiding some habits will make it easier.

Maintaining a patchless full and luxurious beard requires more than just growing it, you need to go the extra mile to ensure it looks healthy.

A beard is like a precious trophy that almost every man cherish these days. However, did you know you could be unconsciously damaging your beard? We know bad beards are not what you want.

While growing out your beard, there are tons of things, right from the daily routine to taking care of it, that you need to consider. During this process, chances are that you get lazy and end up ruining your look just by adapting to some bad beard habits. How will you be able to stop the habits if you don't know them?

Here are bad habits that are destroying your beard.

You don't want to find yourself in such a situation. So, stop pulling or picking your beards!

2. Over-washing your beard
Most men spend too much time washing their beards, which is not even healthy for the beards. Sure, you don't want to walk around with dirty beard, but using beard washing products can strip your beard and skin of the natural oils, and that can cause dry hair and dandruff. You only need to use beard wash or soap up to 3 times per week and simply cleanse it with water on the other days.

3. Stroking your beards
Stroking of beards is common with men especially when they are bored. You have to make a conscious effort to stop this habit. The more you stroke your beard with dry skin, the more chance you have of causing dandruff. Make sure that your hands are clean and your face is moisturized before stroking that precious mane of yours.

4. Not combing
You need to know that combing your beards helps to keep it in good shape. Your beard needs nourishment and there's nothing better than a comb. But, if you miss out on this, chances are you will grow out an unruly beard. Ensure you don't comb it too hard.

5. Never moisturizing
Your beard craves a lot of moisture, especially the skin beneath it. Moisturizing your beard is one of the most important things you can do. Leaving it washed and not hydrating it can lead to skin problems. Hence, steer clear of harsh chemicals and opt for a natural facial cleanser and a beard shampoo. This will help thicken your beard.
