The first part of your dressing people stare at.

BY mysixinfo.blogspot.com

You can hardly notice this but its a fact.
Walking up to someone, have you ever noticed the first place he/she looks at you?
Believe me the the shoe is a very powerful attire we put on when dressing up, 70% of stares up get in a day goes to your shoes.
Now this is most common in men, this is because 80% of the stares a woman get in a day comes from men so that's to say that the first this a man sees in  woman is attractiveness. So men get less stares from men 20% to say.

This research was carried out by a group of student who purposely walked up to people to know their first stare.

For guys, ladies first look at you face then next your shoes and sometimes wrist watches.
Obviously you will look more attractive to ladies when you put on a good pairs of shoe. Or less try it out yourself.

Common problems in marriage

• COMMUNICATION

The most commonly reported relationship problem by far is communication. This may be one of the broadest and most difficult terms to define with regard to relationships. It tends to have many different meanings to each of us. For the purposes of this explanation I define it as "Mis-Understanding".
Literally, this means not understanding the other person's point of view. This is often more a matter of refusing to allow the existence of the other's view as opposed to not understanding it! It is an unwillingness to take the time to genuinely listen and care to understand.
In many relationships the interest seems to lie primarily in getting one's own point of view heard and understood rather than having an interest in hearing and understanding the others’. There is an irony here worth looking at . . . If people cared to listen to the other person with as much interest as he or she wished the other would listen to them, both would end up receiving exactly what they are looking for!
To truly know another, we must be willing to see the world through their eyes, not simply our own. If we listened as well as we spoke, really connecting would take care of itself . . .
• UNRESOLVED BAGGAGE FROM YOUTH

A frequent cause of mis-understanding in relationships is unresolved baggage from youth. Now I know many of you are thinking, "How could events and experiences from years ago have any impact on how and what I communicate to my family in the present?" Trust me . . . it can and it does.
For example, if a person grew up in a loud, violent or abusive environment, that person's response to conflict, arguing, or confrontation, would be significantly different than a person whose home environment was skilled and healthy at conflict resolution. As a rule, in relationships, "like attracts like". So it is common for folks who share poor conflict resolution skills to find and attract someone who has similarly limited skills (often without any awareness that this is what they've done). In these relationships there will be plenty of communication . . . just not the type which leads to any useful resolution!
This is just one simple example of how old baggage can follow us in ways we may not be conscious of. There are many more including your preconceived ideas and experiences regarding sexuality, the proper way to raise children, how you relate to and handle money, and self-esteem issues.
Sometimes when we're in bed with our partner, it can be really crowded with invisible and unwanted visitors.
• UNFULFILLED EXPECTATIONS
One of the saddest set-ups in relationships is entering into them with all kinds of expectations and then over the years, feeling disappointed again and again that they have not been met. Part of this issue relates to the childhood baggage I mentioned before. We often have preconceived expectations of what marriage and relationships are supposed to be like.
This can be derived from many different sources, not the least of which is the marriage and relationship of our parents. That's the one we lived and breathed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That kind of exposure gets absorbed, some on a conscious level, some on an unconscious one. The biggest problem with expectations in general is that we may know what our expectations are, but it unlikely that our partner does! Even more insidious and frustrating is when we have these expectations and even we can't name them, yet we expect our partner to fulfill them. There is one additional problem . . . contrary to popular opinion, it is not the other person's responsibility to fulfill you expectations. It is your job to learn to fill yourself up and then offer all you can to the relationship.
The majority of couples I've worked with have entered into their relationships with their focus on what the other person had to offer . . . not on what they were bringing to the party. Again, we are often quite unaware that this is our mindset.
We must be willing to look closely and honestly at ourselves to see if these are truths about us. Not everyone is willing to do this. To truly understand what you are seeing in another, you must first hold up a mirror and understand what you are seeing there.
• SEX AND INTIMACY

This topic is so huge and complex an area that I can only give the briefest of introductions in this format. Sex is one of the most common areas of conflict in many relationships, but make no mistake, it does not stand alone. Ruling out any physical or medical causes of difficulty, it is usually in some way a reflection of whatever state the relationship is in. For instance, if communications have become hostile and withholding (for punishment or defense purposes) that hostility manifests itself sexually as well. Often this is one of the natural outcomes of what I talked about in "Unfulfilled Expectations".
Chronic disappointment and dashed expectations can manifest in a serious loss of intimacy in a relationship. Not being able to identify what the expectations are, no less clear them up, makes matters even worse. If there is a lack of intimacy with regard to the basic friendship in the relationship, it is also expressed (or not!) in some manner in the bedroom.
To further complicate matters, as rule sexual interactions mean something different to men than they do to women . Women like to feel emotionally connected before they become physically connected. Men, on the other hand, often use sexual activity to get connected in the first place. (It's a cruel joke of the universe I think). Ever notice how much more he talks and listens after lovemaking? There's no coincidence there, ladies. And guys, ever notice how much more interested she is in sex after you've offered her some "real listening time" about something she really cares about? No coincidence there either.
The main issue here is that it is a mistake to hold your partner responsible for your needs. Rather, you would do better to look at how desirable you've made yourself to your partner with your own behavior and attitudes.
If your sex life is in need of a tune-up, chances are your relationship needs tuning first.
• RESENTMENTS
Resentments are the number one killer of all relationships. They are a slow poison, undermining the love, trust and mutual respect you may have once had with each other. It is critical in the treatment of relationships to uncover these often unknown or unspoken resentments. Each person is then responsible for discovering the part they played in the creation of these resentments along with what they can do to improve themselves. The focus is not on how the other person needs to change, but rather on what you can do to change yourself to bring something better to the party. No blaming, just self-responsibility. It's always a dance of two, never just of one.
Resentments crop up quickly as communication dwindles , expectations are not met and old hurts (many of them from the early years) begin to get "triggered" by relationship issues in the present. This is an incredibly common, yet generally unknown source of pain in marriages. Triggers are current experiences that bear a resemblance to ways in which you've been hurt, abandoned or treated stemming from the past. They are often not consciously connected to what's happening in your present relationship, but when they are shown to you, they are clear to be seen.
An example would be when your partner takes a tone with you that is reminiscent of an important adult from your childhood, who was responsible for creating pain for you. Sometimes we have to think long and hard in order to make these connections. A red flag that this is what's occurring is that you are perceived to be overreacting to whatever is happening in the present . . . sound familiar?
Resentments often build as a direct result of a person's inability to communicate their needs and/or take responsibility for them in the first place.
Resentments lead directly to loss of respect for the other person. Loss of respect leads to sexual problems, more bad feelings, blame and distancing. Isn't it fascinating how all these issues just blend together in one massive, connected swirl? The truth is, we can never really respect ourselves unless we show the courage and the willingness to take full responsibility for what belongs to us, which the other person did not place there! Once the old hurts are neutralized (in addition to all the new ones we've tacked on over the years) and each person has shown the courage to own their part in the poisoned well, much healing is possible.
If you've ever been forgiven for your "falls from grace" in life, you know how powerful a healing experience it is. Much as resentments are poison to a relationship, ownership and mutual forgiveness are its salvation.

WONDERS SHALL NEVER END, FIVE YEARS GIRL “PREGNANT” IN PLATEAU…

An incident which can obviously be tagged as most outrageous happened in the north central state of Plateau, Nigeria. In a remote and sleepy hamlet of Kanke local government, a little girl of Five was found to be pregnant. According to the child’s parents,the perpetrator of the bizzare act is not known but the police has begun an inquiry with the view to fathom the identity of the mystery man or men behind the heinous crime.
Speaking further,they Father of the girl told newsmen that until few months ago,the poor child began to complain of excruciating pains in her groin which they didn’t pay commensurate attention to. After a while,they noticed that her breasts were developing,all of which they attributed to early adolescence precocity. Their fears was confirmed after tests were carried out on her when they noticed her protuberant tummy.
They pregnancy test came back with a positive verdict. The locals and family of the girl are still in a state of shock which is quite rational considering the girl’s age and biological placing. We contrived to get a photo of the victim and we present it to you for your own perusal and appraisal.

HOW MMM NIGERIAN WILL BOUNCE BACK.

*HOW MMM NIGERIAN WILL BOUNCE BACK.*

If your money is already donated to another participant in MMM Nigeria, and you are panicking that your money is gone, Pls go and relax with a chilled bottle Kunu or Sobo, just go about your normal business as if nothing happened, relax your self and remove your mind from what people are saying, people are entitled to their opinion.
_A coward dies twice before his actual death._
After I studied how South African MMM bounced back, I just relaxed my self, and that made me think that Mavrodi wanted things to happen this way, I think Mavrodi planned this all along, he knows that Nigerians will want to withdraw all their money for Christmas, so he seized the opportunity to introduce a system that will sustain MMM for a very long time .
If your money is given out already to another participant of MMM Nigeria be rest assured you are getting it back , but may be not as you are expecting it, because u are not going to get all your money back at once, but, with time I will get all.
*Here is the Possible New Model , although I am not sure*
The new system will have no space for panicking.
This new system, once u PH, for u to take ur money with ur percentage, u must provide another help, and get confirmed before u take ur first money.
With this u know
1. That u are using ur spare money
2. U know that ur money is already in the system, so u will be afraid to upload fake pop or refuse to confirm people , therefore this system fights fake pop and non confirmation
3. In this kind of system, festive period can’t affect it, since as u are putting, u are taking, this making it impossible for festive season to affect MMM again
4. This system also helps handle panic, because no matter how u panic reach, u cannot withdraw ur money, without putting. MMM together we change the change.
Lookout for my researches through screenshots on MMM SA, MMM EA, MMM India & MMM China PO’s news after experiencing frozen mavro and the way out for them.
Presently MMM SA have lottery on their PO where hundreds of $ are won by participants every Wednesdays. I want to assure us that we shall better and more profitable MMM community by 2017.

Ways to impress a lady.

Ladies can be at times hard to get,
But its natural, so don't blame them.

Want to wow that certain girl? Though you can't control how she feels and make her fall in love with you, you can put yourself into a better light. Here are two methods for impressing a girl: first for a girl you don't know well, and second for a girl who says she's only interested in friendship.

Method One of Two:

Impressing a Girl You Don't Know Well
Dress to impress. Not only will you look and smell more attractive, taking care of your grooming shows her that you're mature and capable of important daily tasks. Also pay attention to the style of clothes that she wears, and wear the same style of clothing, this will help her to relate with you and find you overall more attractive.
And pay particular attention to these areas:

Shower at least once a day. It's probably best to do this in the morning, so you can start the day feeling fresh and clean. Wash your hair, soap up all over, and rinse off. Use a nice smelling shower scrub as well, something not too feminine, but not too masculine either, maybe try a smell like mint, or lemon.
Keep your mouth clean. Brush twice daily, floss, and use mouthwash. For help in the middle of the day, use breath mints and chewing gum.
Manage facial hair. Shave daily. Or, if you're growing facial hair, make sure it's trimmed to a uniform length and not scraggly or unruly. If you tend to have a unibrow, consider plucking any stray hairs over your nose.
Wear a combination deodorant-antiperspirant. Apply it as soon as you get out of the shower in the morning. Make sure it also doesn't smell too feminine or too masculine either.

Go easy on the cologne. You can use a few sprays of cologne or body spray, but don't go over 3.
Wear clean clothes. If you find yourself scrambling for fresh laundry, consider setting up a regular washing schedule, like doing all your laundry every Sunday night.
Be polite. Being well-mannered doesn't mean you're boring — it means you know how to treat other people with respect, a quality most girls want in their boyfriends. Show her you know how to be considerate by doing these things for everyone, not just her:
Say "please," "thank you" and "you're welcome." As well as asking with a "I'd appreciate it if" or "I would like for you..."
If someone is walking through a door behind you, hold it open for him or her.
Avoid cursing or saying anything crude in public, or in mixed company. It's fine to relax a little around your friends, but try to show your best side around people you don't know well.

For more help, see How to Have Good Manners.
Think before you speak. Everyone slips up and says stupid things, but try your best to limit it when you're around this girl. Take a few seconds to evaluate what you're going to say before you spit it out.
Don't talk up other girls. You might think making her jealous is a good idea, but steer clear. Discussing the looks of other girls in front of her will make you seem shallow and fickle. As far as she knows, she's the only one you're interested in.
Avoid coming off as a bully. Don't throw out careless insults or put other people down, even if they're meant to be funny. She might not be able to pick up on your humorous tone and take your words at face value.

Don't tell dirty jokes. There's a time and place for wicked humor — and it's when you're hanging out with your guy friends. Keep on a lid on it when you're around her.

Pay her a sincere compliment. One thing you should say when you're around her is a nice, genuine compliment. It's not as difficult as it seems! Here's what to do:

Think of what you like best about her. It could be her smile, her laugh, her intelligence — whatever strikes you as her best quality. (The only caveat to this is that you should not compliment her on any physical traits except her eyes or her smile. She might have a great figure, but now's not the time.)
Do it semi-privately. You don't have to get her completely alone to pay her a compliment, but try not to do it with all of her friends or your friends listening closely. You could also pull it off in a text or instant message.
Keep it short and sweet. No need to wax poetic for three or four minutes on her best qualities. A simple one-liner will do.

Pay attention to how you word it. Instead of saying "That's a pretty dress" or "I like your outfit," say "You look really great in that dress." Compliment the woman, not the article of clothing!
Get the body language right. Smile! Keep eye contact while you say it, too.

Make her feel special. Find little ways to let her know that you think she's an extraordinary person, and she'll definitely notice.
Don't ignore her or play hard to get. If she texts you, text back. If she wants to talk, try to make the time even if it's slightly inconvenient.
Go out of your way to help her. If she could use a hand with something, offer your assistance! It could be carrying heavy or cumbersome items, going with her to run an errand, or talking to her through a difficult situation.

Let her talk. The #1 mistake when talking to a girl is focusing on yourself. Girls are way more comfortable when they talk about common interests. Ask about her interests, hobbies, favorite books, music, etc. If she asks you a question, answer it in a few, short sentences and then redirect the question back at her.
This engages her in the conversation.
Start an inside joke with her! By doing this the two of you will share a secret connection that is shared between only the two of you. This will make her feel special, included and closer to you. It will also give you an easy-to-come-up-with conversation starter. But keep in mind, if you overuse the inside joke, it could quickly go from fun to boring, so only use it when you must.

7 reasons why relationships fail.

Let’s take a look at these 7 reasons:

1. Not putting your relationship first
Society doesn’t teach us to value our relationships or about the daily commitment that healthy relationships require. Sometimes our careers and our kids take the lead and our relationships come third, fourth, or even tenth on the list of obligations.Relationships take quality time and commitment. For example, if you stop having sex, the desire to will completely fade, or if you stop talking about your hopes and dreams with your spouse, you will grow further apart.
Just like with most things in life, you receive what you give.
2. You seek external validation
Sometimes people are not comfortable with who they are and they end up looking for validation through a significant other. When your sense of self is constantly unstable, you look for validation elsewhere.
When you don’t have a clear sense of who you are or what you want in life, you will forever keep trying to mold yourself to become what you think other people want to be. Relationships are about loving and accepting one another as you truly are.
3. Low self-esteem
For both partners to feel valued and secure in a relationship, they both need to have self-esteem and feel secure with who they are. When a person has low self-esteem, they depend on a relationship for security, which can backfire and lead to doubt. Having confidence in yourself and in your significant other is the healthiest thing you can do for your relationship.
4. Infidelity
This one is obvious…
5. Controlling behavior
If both partners in a relationship are not equal, it can cause conflict. However, it’s not as clear-cut and may take some time to manifest in the relationship.
Controlling behavior can fall under the desire or need to control one another’s finances, needing the other’s permission to do something or making decisions without consulting each other first.
6. Narcissism
There is no room for selfish behavior in a relationship. Narcissist’s only look out for their personal interests and don’t care about their spouse’s day-to-day life.
This, in turn, can build resentment as the selfish individual constantly uses charm and manipulation to get what they want.
Relationships are partnerships, which means they are based on compassion and compromise. If one half of the relationship refuses to compromise and leaves the other person out, things will not end well.
7. Money
Money by itself isn’t going to break up a relationship, but how both of you manage it will. Couples who fight over their finances and degrade one another on how their expenses are used are setting their relationships up for failure. If one partner blames the other for debts or for not pulling their weight, anger, blame and resentment can start to settle in.
Relationships are complicated, but they also evolve. Sure, all these 7 reasons by can bring a relationship to a end, but at the same time they can also be avoided with awareness and a desire to do better.

IF YOU ARE A BLOGGER, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED, BUT IF YOU ARE NOT, THEN YOU ARE MISSING A LOT IN THIS MONEY MAKING STRATEGY.

1. A blog. Clearly. Here’s how to start a blog if you don’t already have one. It’s the easy part.

2. Valuable content. Once you have a blog, write. Draw from your expertise & experience and write informative posts and articles about your chosen topic . Make your content excellent. In order to make money, you must have visitors, but in order to have visitors, you must have content worthwhile to visit.

3. Relationships. As you create valuable content, start building genuine and sincere relationships via social media, forums & groups, commenting on other blogs and the like. Consider
starting a mastermind group. Reach out to people in your niche. Find people who could use the information you provide. Get to know them, interact, be friendly and helpful by offering no-strings-attached tidbits of your expertise. Word about you spreads best via people who know, like & trust you.

4. A strong platform. Keep growing in the knowledge of your craft so the content you produce gets increasingly great. Use your blog to get exposure, build authority, gain trust and be helpful.

This man went back to school at the age of 44

My wife never believed I could go back to school –44-year-old doughnut hawker, 200L UNIUYO student

The last few days have indeed been some of the most interesting times in the life of Mr. Lawrence-White Udoka. Since photographs of the 44-year-old man hawking doughnuts while neatly dressed went viral, the Akwa Ibom-born father of two has suddenly transcended from a little known Nigerian to a celebrity of sort. From east to west, north to south, images of Udoka are almost now a common sight anywhere you turn to. It is an unprecedented period for him.
“I have received a lot of calls from people telling me that they have been seeing and reading different interesting things about me on the social media. Whenever I go out to hawk these days, people treat me differently, as if I am a superstar. Though I am excited about this I give all glory to God,” he said during a telephone conversation with our correspondent earlier in the week.
But beyond the fame the 44-year-old man now enjoys, Udoka has been through the rough patches of life, contending with deprivation and crushing hardship for the most part of his early life. Raised under the roof of a polygamist father with three wives and 10 children, life for him as a little boy growing up in the countryside in Akwa Ibom where he hails from was tough. Apart from the difficulties in accessing quality education as a result of his father’s lean purse, living out his dream of becoming a successful engineer in the future was quite Herculean. The situation remained troubling until he finally made the long journey to Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial headquarters, in search of a new life.
“It was tough when I first arrived Lagos,” Udoka said, as he shared his inspiring story with our correspondent. “I was rejected in almost all the factories I went to search for job not because I wasn’t fit but because the people there always felt factory work was not for a person like me.
“At one of such places, a staff of the factory where I had gone to look for work told me that I should go and get proper education, that he saw me becoming something big in the future and not limiting myself to a factory. That was the last time I ever went out to look for job again,” he revealed.
Driven by the quest to survive, Udoka soon ventured into frying and selling bean cake popularly known as akara in local parlance around his Ojota neighbourhood. It turned out a big hit. Within weeks after he started, everyone was looking for his brand of akara. It was a period of boom for him.
“People would come from very far places just to buy my akara. It was as if they had been waiting for the type that I did for a long time. I was never short of patronage,” he said.
But just when the 44-year-old was enjoying the fruits of his labour and thinking on how to expand his business to meet the growing demand, everything came crashing. A malicious rumour turned the tables against him.
“I was surprised when all of a sudden people stopped patronising my akara,” he recalled. “There was a rumour in town that a man somewhere in Mushin was caught using human blood to prepare his akara and that had a negative impact on the patronage of the snack. It affected many of us in the business tremendously. I had to gather the small money I had managed to save to buy a motorcycle for commercial transportation,” he said.
Few months into commercial transportation, the father of two switched vocation again – this time going into baking and hawking doughnuts, egg and fish rolls after a woman introduced him to the business. He abandoned transportation following constant harassment by law enforcement agents in Lagos.
“I didn’t ride okada for too long because law enforcement officers were always harassing us and demanding for money. I had to diversify into the making of doughnuts and other items after a woman introduced me to the business. I look back today and I am happy I ever made that decision,” he said.
Like akara, Udoka’s new products also gave him popularity in the entire Ojota/Ogudu area of the metropolis where a lot of people fondly nicknamed him “chop better” – for the richness of his snack. Though he didn’t make as much as when he was marketing bean cake, the new items also brought in a decent income. But more than the sweetness of his products, it was his mode of dressing that attracted customers to him the most – the Akwa Ibom native was always looking smart and neat while hawking his wares.
“A lot of women always told me whenever they came across me that if they were mine they would never allow a neatly dressed man like me to hawk. But unknown to them I was married already.
“I had to always dress well because the Bible says that whatever our hands findeth to do, we should do it well, so I had to apply wisdom into my business. Dressing well was one of the strategies I have used to grow my business. It is a way of appealing to customers who ordinarily wouldn’t even think of buying doughnut at the time,” he said.
But beyond the regular profit he was making from the business and all the attention that followed, the 44-year-old had bigger dreams. He wanted something that would open doors for him – a more guaranteed route to escape poverty and all the sufferings that he had experienced in his life. To make that dream a reality, he enrolled for the 2015 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination to study Political Science Education at the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom. The idea came not only as a joke to many who knew him including his 41-year-old wife, Dorothy, but also as a feat impossible to achieve.
“My wife felt I was playing an expensive joke when I told her of my desire to go to the university by sitting for UTME,” he said. “She felt because of my age I should rather invest in our children instead of going to school myself. But that didn’t deter me, I insisted and God has been faithful.
“Even though I was always busy hawking my items, I enrolled for tutorials at a centre in Ojota to prepare me for the exam. Many times I went there with my snacks and while receiving lectures some students would patronise me. I never missed tutorials for once.
“I have faced a lot of hardship in my life, so I didn’t want to go the rest of my life like that. I realised education was the gateway in life. I knew if I could get education, many of my problems in life would be solved. All the while I was selling akara and riding okada, I had always nursed that desire to go to school. I had hope that one day I would be enlisted into one Nigerian university and by the grace of God that dream has come true,” he said with a tinge of fulfillment.
Attaining that feat didn’t come easy – challenges in different forms came his way. While some made subtle jests at him, others told it to his face that he was only wasting his time. But the more they tried to discourage him, the more his resolve grew stronger.
“A lot of people sometimes wondered what an elderly person like me was coming to do at the UTME tutorial centre. In fact it took a long time for even the security men at the place to accept that I was also a student coming for tutorials.
“But by the grace of God when the result came out, I was vindicated. I scored 333 in the exam even though I was 43 at the time and was combining hawking and studying. I and my daughter, Favour, sat the exam at the same time and we both did well.
“I am studying Political Science Education at the University of Uyo, I was admitted as a full time student but I asked to switch to part time so that I can continue to do my business. My daughter is studying Public Administration at the same university and we are both in 200 level.
“Many of my lecturers today use me as a reference point in some of their teachings. They salute my courage and determination to succeed at all cost.
“I must let you know that I don’t miss lectures because I don’t like to copy other people’s notes. A lot of useful things are said during lectures, so I don’t like to miss them. I have never failed any course since gaining admission. Many people see me as a role model,” he said.
Apart from attributing his success so far to the mercies of God, Udoka also fingers his unique mode of appearance as playing a key role in his wide acceptance even in Uyo where he had stayed less than two years since gaining admission into the city’s university. He receives favour in torrents.
“People favour me a lot,” he cuts in. “Many times customers tell me to keep the change and use it to take good care of myself when they patronise me.
“In fact in 2012, the commissioner for environment in Lagos at the time during a chance encounter told me that he liked the way I dressed and conducted my business and that he would love to assist me with some money. He gave me N100, 000 and it was out of that money that I registered for UTME.
“Here in Uyo, people patronise me a lot. They look at my dressing and ask why I returned from America. They think I had lived abroad before and only came back as a result of certain circumstances.
“After arriving here, I had to go to a catering school to acquire more skills for my business. I am a qualified caterer now; a lot of people have been coming to learn from me,” he said.
The future is looking brighter than it was a few years back, the 44-year-old is already looking forward to better things to come. But while making those lofty pursuits, he has not forgotten the woman that has stood by him all these years. Her place in his heart is special.
“It is my heart desire for my wife to also go to the university after I graduate,” Udoka, sounding a bit emotional at this point, said. “She has been very supportive; she has been a strong pillar behind me. Since I and Favour moved to Uyo for studies, she has been taking care of the home, herself and our 17-year-old son, Donald. I cannot thank her enough for all the love, support and understanding.
“In life, when you record success people will begin to see you differently. My wife sees me differently and appreciates me the more now. Recently she was in Uyo to spend one week with me. I really appreciate this. My wish for her now is to see her attain the level of education I have now. It will make me happy.”
Dorothy, who runs a thriving food stuff business at the New Garage area of Ojota, told Saturday PUNCH earlier in the week that she was proud of her husband even though she initially feared he was too old to study.
According to her, a lot of persons who have been following her husband’s rising profile have called to commend her as well.
“I am very proud of him, me and the children; he is making us very happy. Though I had some reservations when he was pursuing admission, today I give glory to God because he has given us a new song.
