Someone might realize the need to come out of a toxic relationship as it has no good end-story.

Relationship is a time consuming institution that drains a large chunk of our mental and emotional space whenever it doesn’t go right. As soon as you notice a red flag in your relationship, I believe it is the perfect time to take to your heels, except you can miraculously change the hand of time, if at all you can.

With that said, there are certain steps to take to yank yourself out of a toxic relationship, if you really want to

  1. Seek counsel: People in toxic relationship are advised to take counsel from friends, family, professionals and permit me to say, love doctors if need warrants. It could get difficult to think straight trying to get out of the relationship. You, need rehabilitation because the process takes time and you need supportive friends and family around you all through the process.
  2. Express your feelings: When trying to exit a toxic relationship, you need to express your feelings in every possible way. Do not keep too mute. Endeavour to express the way you feel to the person you’re in a toxic relationship with, hoping they would take it lightly and reasonably with you.
  3. Make a firm decision: After you must have expressed your feelings, the next thing is to make a concrete decision whether or not the relationship can be salvaged. If you see the need to fight for the relationship, then go ahead, if otherwise, kindly talk a beach walk-away from the relationship.
  4. Surround yourself with positivity: Whatever your decisions are, you need to back them up with a strong  positive vibe. Ensure you stay positive at all instance. Do not rule out on love totally.
  5. Stick with your decision:  As said earlier, do not back out on your decision. Hold firm to it for as long as you deem fit. It is normal that you miss the person you left; we are humans not robots and we have a mind. However, you need to remember that the decision you took was for good, so stick to it and resist the urge to go back to your toxic relationship.

It is better to leave a relationship when you notice the red flags or see the handwritings on the wall, than to continue bearing the emotional stress and assaults. One of such causes is a distance relationship

I am thinking of getting a good laptop. I am currently in search of a budget-friendly laptop. Budget is not more than $420 at the moment. To find good budget laptops, we thoroughly examined the laptop market. We visited stores and also checked all the major e-commerce websites which sell laptops. We found that there are many good laptops available to buy in under $400 price range.

There are many pharmacy shops in eyita and precisely in Ikorodu, Lagos, some of which are

Once upon a time pharmacist could open a shop, and the customers would come. Pharmacy owners had plenty of patients and made a very decent living. There is a huge difference between community pharmacist in eyita and hopsital pharmacist. If they didn’t own a pharmacy then, perhaps they met or heard about those who did—those who profited in days of yore. 

That was then, and this is now.

Today, it is far more easy for people to search for pharmacy shops around them or to leave their current pharmacies, to transfer their business to a new pharmacy… even to drive past all the competitors, and especially to bring all of their health needs to someone new.

Therefore it is necessary that you are able to find pharmacy shops easily around Ikorodu and precisely in eyita. One outstanding shop you want to check is JAYTOP PHARMACY AND STORES, 1, Oguntade Street, Off Temade street, Eyita, Ikorodu. There, you can see the consultant who has been practicing for more that 30 years within the government civil service, to get all your issues sorted out. All you need to do is go within in the opening hours of the business

You’ve probably heard some people say you should drain your laptop battery completely before charging it, or that you should keep it between 40% and 80% all the time to make it last longer or to keep it in good health

My recent HD games installation has made me question the strength of my Laptop Battery. leaving me wishing it could last just a little longer than it does at the moment when I am playing PC games.

Why does it run down so fast?

There is little you can do because each computer application has a certain percentage of power that is expected to run on for efficiency. Most of these rules are outdated, applying to older nickel-based batteries. Luckily, most or all of your gadgets these days run on Lithium-Ion batteries, which are easy to take care of.

I recommend reading the manufacturers full guide on how the battery works, but the gist is: they last longer when you perform shallow discharges, keep them cool, and don’t leave them plugged in while they’re running at 100%. Honestly, though, batteries have a finite life no matter what, and your efforts will only go so far—so don’t stress about it.

Focus your efforts on getting better battery life out of your iPhone, Android phone, or laptop on a given charge instead—and knowing how to replace the battery when it starts dying.

Why exactly do most artists dive only into Praise and worship leading? Why can’t we have ministers like Don Moen, Gaither and the rest that will minister messages with their songs?

Relationship are not easy, if anyone told you otherwise obviously the don’t know what he/she is talking about. Relationships, like everything else, require work and dedication. Love is supreme, but it is never enough!

Building relationships is always fun and exciting, but making relationships lasting is hard work. Once a relationship is established, you must maintain honest communication and continue to cherish the time spent with the one you love.

In this day and age, there are many factors inside and outside the relationship that affect the outcome. If you want to learn some tips to help your relationship last long please keep reading!

1: Be honest
Any problems you avoid can ruin your relationship. It’s best to face the facts and resolve them immediately, rather than letting it damage your relationship for a long time, you must deliberately find out the truth about your relationship.


2: Forgive
Everyone make mistakes. This is a creepy fact in life. If you really care about the people you associate with, you must learn to forgive their mistakes. Holding a grudge against each other is very harmful. If you want to maintain a lasting relationship, that is definitely not what you want to do.


3: Communication is key.
As a couple, you and your partner must speak out aloud, which includes everything from joy to worries, problems to disagreements. You must also talk about your personal wishes so that you can understand each other in different ways.

4: Don’t take your partner for granted

5: Don’t pretend. Speak out!

6: Don’t let the painful past detested fate of your relationship.

7: No unrealistic expectations.

8: Don’t compare your partner with others.

9: Keep jealousy and insecurity at bay.

10: If a discussion turns into a fight, take a breath and think if it’s worth it.

Building a life together is more important than love. Internalize these opinions and invest in your relationships to live happily ever after

Does it seem difficult to connect AKAI MPK MINI to your IOS device ? then this tutorial will help you do just that no matter the difficulty. I have covered all the error scenarios in this post. Once you have your IOS device; iPhone or iPad,  get the right accessory as described in this video and you are all good to go. There are two types of USB 3.0 connector, the one with the charging port and the other is without. Never waste a moment of inspiration, once you are inspired musically, just bring out your midi controller and connect them. Keep creating.

So there you have it, this is all what you need to be on the go in terms of mobile production, your iPhone and the AKAI MPK MINI midi controller. I always advocate for starting small and starting with what you have and this is a good way to start with what you have making music so that you don’t always need your laptop or the MacBook every time when you are inspired.

I am writing this post as a result of the research I carried out recently from the able recognized body dealing with corrupt practices in over 180 countries. Corrupt practices in Nigeria started as far back as 1975. The 1975 Nigerian coup d’état was a bloodless military coup which took place in Nigeria on 29 July 1975 when a faction of junior Armed Forces officers overthrew General Yakubu Gowon (who himself took power in the 1966 counter-coup). Obasanjo succeeded him as head of state.

Data extracted from Transparency International on Nigeria’s Corruption Index

I have taken time to plot this chart here above to show you what the statistics of corrupt practices in Nigeria looks like with reference to the index. From the image above, you see Rank, Score and Countries. The Rank and countries are related. For example in 2020, Nigeria ranked 149/180. This means out of the 180 countries that were examined, Nigeria came 149th position which is an AWEFUL 82.7% corrupt. The score here is ranked /100 % ; so for 2020, Nigeria had 25/100. If I had a child who brings this result home, the child is grounded for sure.

Yet, you hear statements like this:

If a child fails in the class, won’t the class teacher ask him to repeat?

Unfortunately, this is the narrative in Nigeria right now, where the ruling class as not ashamed of repeating terms and doing even worse than the previous term.

Explanation of the Chart

If you look at this chart properly, sometimes it will feel like Nigeria improved in a certain year than the previous but when compared to the number of countries for that year, then the result is fairly the same or even worse. For example, between 2014 and 2015, you have the same rank score of 136 which will seem like nothing happened , but compare the figures below, you see an increase from 77.7% to 80%

136 / 175 = 77.7 % – 2014

136 / 168 = 80% – 2015

This also applies to the score as well in the corrupt practices in Nigeria. All the scores range between 24 to 28. It is safe to say that

24 < = score < = 28

In summary, the corrupt practices in Nigeria is not improving at all, rather it is getting worse especially under the Muhammed Buhari Administration since 2015 till date. From ASSU strikes to fuel pump price increase; a whole lot of other issues including insecurity; THE COUNTRY AND ITS ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED
