5 REASONS WHY MOST PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO GET MARRIED




When I was a bit younger, I have always dreamt of a day I will have my own family and enjoy the benefits attached to becoming a husband. I have watched with keen interest how mum and dad always related and this has triggered a hunger to grow up and get married so I can also enjoy such bliss.
Because of this very longing for a family, we engaged in the “daddy and mummy play” with our peers (let me just hold it right here, that play was hmm).
Then we grew up and reality dawned on us. We now know better and have found several reasons why getting married is a very bad idea. Today, a good number of our youngsters are afraid of getting married. They run away from it like a plague and will do all it takes to avoid it.

Of all the several reasons or excuses they give, here are what I regard as the most important five reasons why most singles hate the idea of getting married.
1.      Sacrifice:
Getting married is all about responsibility and making sacrifices. This includes making both emotional and financial sacrifices for the good of your partner. In some cases, this may include sacrificing our dreams and aspirations.
A good number of youths cherish their dreams and aspirations more than the ideas of getting married. They believe, getting married will place their dreams on hold or a total termination.
2.      Freedom:
Someone once said and I quote, “the wedding ring is the smallest and most effective handcuffs known to man.” To some people, this statement is very true. Marriage is a form of slavery which will not allow them to keep enjoying the freedom attached to being single. While some people use this as an excuse to continue in their wrong doings, others use this to focus on their career and future. Some of the ladies are not ready to be committed to the duties of being a wife and subject to their husbands.
3.      Immaturity:
Marriage requires maturity not just in age but in mind and pocket. Most of the singles roaming about the city are nothing but a bunch of immature kids living in the body of grownups.  
4.      Fear:
Apart from immaturity, this is the second most important reason why several people are still single.
5.      Past experiences:
This is common with children from broken homes. Due to the past negative experiences they had with their parents or others,  they tend to shy away from anything called marriage.

COMPANIES THAT NEVER BELIEVED IN GOOGLE

Image
It is no longer a news that Google is the world's leading search engine. It came into the market on its knees and begging top brands to help it grow but was rejected because they never thought anything good could ever come out of search engines, not to talk of Google. Here are 3 Top tech companies that never saw anything good in Google. 1. Yahoo If there will be an award for the tech companies with a long history of regrets, Yahoo should definitely top the list. In 1998, Google’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin had approached Yahoo, with an opportunity to buy its PageRank system for as little as $1 million. The duo wanted to focus on their studies at Stanford, but Yahoo showed no interest as it wanted users to spend more time on its own platform.However, as time progressed the online world soon began to realize the importance of third-party online advertising revenue. Google built its own pay-per click service called AdWords back then, and is now the key reason for Google’s rags to

The Rotten Carcasses; What bothers me about Nigeria

Image
          It is now a ritual for the Nigerian Television Authority to remind us of our identity as a nation. We hear about our greatness as the most populous black nation on the face of the earth, our heroes past and present, our strengths and much more. How I love the praises showered on this country. Beneath this cover of praise lie disgusting maggots feeding on the rotten carcasses of little things, we have neglected. These carcasses pollute our identity and strength making our very home inhabitable; they are but a repercussion of our negligence as a people.             Rolling away the stone of greatness, I was greeted by the stench of self-pity which diluted our sense of reasoning long ago. We are the true definition of perfect complainers bent on what is not working and neglecting what really does. We are satisfied when people sympathize with us about the little things we could change but will never bother only to blame the government and witches for the calamity that bef

4 Laws Of Attraction As Observed From Babies

Image
Whether by accident or design, you have one day come across a baby in your life. You must have observed how people want to carry them by all means. Most people tend to be attracted by the baby’s aura and this draws them closer. Babies are adorable, they are worth loving and above, they can also teach us some certain traits about life. Here are four rules of attraction as observed from babies. 1.       Be yourself: Babies are so natural that they don’t even know what it means to fake their identity. They are always themselves and that attracts people to them. Babies don’t need to adapt to people’s thoughts or ideas, they display their real character at all times. This very trait makes people want to associate with them. Let people know you for who you truly are. 2.       Smile: I have noticed that making a baby smile is regarded as a trophy or a reward for a job well done. Each time the baby smiles, s/he send this unusual peace and strength to the one holding them. 3
