Dear readers, We all know the craze for bank verification number has being hyped by everyone especially as the dead line being 30th June 2015 draws closer. Well, yours sincerely got her BVN since January but didn't know I had to visit my other banks where I also have accounts and only got to know when my bank sent me a mail to update my BVN.
Well I decided to take my number to one of my banks only to be greeted by a mamout crowd. I was wowed by the number of people I saw scrambling to get theirs and I wonder why they had to wait this long before doing theirs. Well naija last minute rush mentality I guess.
People where cursing themselves and tempers were rising . One of the persons in the crowd almost cursed me out when I by passed the crowd to meet the bank staff to submit my number. I quickly ran out ooo after filling the form she gave me. Yes ooo I had to rush out before they poured their frustration on me hahahahahaha.
Well for the benefit of those who don't know what BVN is, bank verification number is a step taken by the central bank of Nigeria to strengthen the security of banking transactions and to ensure that fraudulent transactions are minimized.
It uses biometric technology to register customers in the financial system. The biometric is very helpful to people who cannot read or write as pictures and finger prints would serve the same purpose as signatures. The BVN will help the banking system reduce situations where loan defaulters patronize more than one bank to obtain loan and their history would be easily known. Culled from vanguard.
Benefits of bank verification number
1. It gives a unique identity that can be verified across banks
2. Customers bank accounts are protected from unauthorized access
3. It would reduce exposure to fraud
4. It would enhance the chances to fish out black listed customers
5. It would reduce queue in banking halls.

So my people if you have not done yours please do before it is too late and for those in diaspora, don't be scared about being cut off from your accounts , liaise with your banks and they would guide you on how to go about yours. "Yawning , good night "

CELEBRATING THE MAN CALLED FATHER
On Sunday 22nd June 2015, the world celebrated father's day with a lot of people projecting their fathers or father representatives.Some did not either because of the bad experiences they have had with their fathers or maybe they just want to be silent about it.
I called a couple of clients and wished them a happy father's day and some were like "ohh am still single oo"and am like "you are a father in the making na" lol anyways, what makes people call a male figure a father or daddy? Some have said some men are just fathers but not daddies. so my dearest visitors, would this statement be accepted as a proven fact? Oya gist us your opinion.
A father as defined by wikipedia is a male figure who provides protection, structure, vision and purpose in a family. You see, if i am to meet some folks to describe their fathers under these qualities, i guess a lot would be said. To better elaborate on this issue, here are a few quotes:
Jim Valvano- my father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me".
T.D. Jakes- I want to congratulate all men out there who are working diligently to be good fathers whether they are step fathers, or biological fathers or just spiritual fathers".
Naveen Jain- being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person."
Frank Abagnale- a real man loves his wife and places his family as the most important thing in life. nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father".
Jim Demint- one of the greatest titles in the world is parent, and one of the biggest blessings in the world is to have parents to call mom and dad".
David Beckham- i am a strong person, i am a strong family man, i am a strong husband and a strong father:.
Now based on the above, would you as a man describe yourself as a father or daddy( in the making for single men ). The floor is opened for you especially male visitors. Side eyes to men reading and not commenting . looll

Pot of thoughts 2
During the week, I had a conversation with a client were VISION was discussed and I thought it wise to share with you my wonderful visitors.
Please take a space on the boat and let's ride.
Going back 25 years into the history of dubai, no one would believe it would turn out to be one of the world's best tourist center 25 years later. Dubai was a desert country whose people depended on fishing and pearl diving before oil was discovered in 1966. As the years rolled by, with a global increase in oil, someone dreamt big and used the increase to focus on rapidly developing key infrastructure to sustain the economy in the event oil dries up. The dreamer worked with vision. The power of vision made MOHAMMED BIN RASHID AL MOKTOUM to transform dubai from a desert Island to a paradise.
Vision is what makes a man not give up even in the face of adversity and disappointments. The power of vision cannot be underestimated when put into proper use. God gave us a creature to direct us on how to utilize our visions. That creature is the eagle. It has an extraordinary vision that enables them to gather their prey easily.
What is your vision about your future or business, would you want to give up because things are not going the way you thought it would for you? Well I guess your response would be NO.
Habakkuk 2:2 encourages us to write the vision and make it plain upon tablets that he may run that reads it. Keep your vision alife no matter what you are going through and in due season it shall speak and not lie. What ever you want to achieve , write it down so as to measure your progress . Don't give up on yourself but keep the vision burning. No one can kill your vision but YOU.

HEART CRIES 2
Holla everyone!!!! woaaaaa it being a cold Saturday over here but i have something sizzling hot to keep you warm and its on ENVY.
In every environment we find ourselves: offices, markets, neighborhood, churches, mosques, schools etc, people unconsciously exhibit this trait and by the time they realize it, the seed which has being fed fat by anger, jealousy and hatred has become a giant killer.
How do you explain the attitude being displayed by one colleague over another who got promoted to a higher level than them or the unnecessary strife amongst a group of marketers because one of them was able to meet his or her targets as against the other?
A pastor in his sermon said, envy is the displeasure you feel at the success of another. A quote on line described envy as a feeling of grudging or somewhat admiring discontent aroused by the possessions, achievements or qualities of another.
Charley Reese in analysing envy said it is never wise to seek or wish for another's misfortune. if malice or envy were tangible and had a shape, it would be the shape of a boomerang.
So why do we envy?
Some say it is a natural desire we all have while others say it is because of selfishness and the triggering of negative emotions but what do you think is the reason why we envy?
As you ponder on this and drop your comments at the end of this section, i like to quickly give a few hints on how to deal with envy.
1. we must deal with it early before it gets fully blown by deliberately choosing to do the opposite of what envy demands and using a positive thought to fight a negative thought.
2. we should try to accept and celebrate anyone who seems better in any circumstance because you would also be celebrating soonest and ABOVE ALL, let us allow the spirit of God Help you when the feeling of envy is overpowering you.
Oh before i forget, please join me in my hot cup of tea. "shines teeth".

CAUTION LADIES 2
Holla ladies, how are you today? Well I have something new today for you. It's differentiating between the fake man and the one who is ready to put a ring on it. So let's get started.
A lot of single ladies encounter men who they either lust after or have a great crush on and before you know it, a relationship has developed. Down the line , these ladies begin to ask if this guy is ready to settle down or he is just for fun especially when age is not in favour with these ladies.
The answer to these questions lies on a lot of factors I would be highlighting later on but I would like to add that you as a lady need to be smart and set him up to know if he sees you as fun or a side chick or main chick.
Babes you need to develop a strategy to set him up or you get your fingers burnt again. Also, padlock your legs and wait for the him who is worth having it because a man would do anything to eat from your juicy pot. So guard your honey juice jealously. "Winks".
Here are a few tips I gathered from allwomenstalk.
The man for fun:
1. He avoids conversations near the topic of the future.
2. He plans with you for this Friday.
3. They tell you are awesome , fun and a really cool guy and plays the perfect man to you. Mind you there are no perfect man.
4. He tries to meet you up at night and occasionally encounter your friends which is more of accident.
5. He won't take the step of revealing his password and has a hard time remembering your siblings and what they majored in school.
6. He avoids talking about his bad day to you and tries not to worry about it.
7. He tells his friends minimal details about you and tries to keep your relationship casual saying he is taking his time.
8. He lies a lot about so many things and tells you the reasons he is not picking your calls or responding to your chats is because he is busy. Babes like really ! Please don't fall for that lie. When a man is serious with you and he loves you, he squeezes time out of no time to just hear your voice so please cut me the crap of him telling you he is busy.
9. He tells you not to visit his house without prior notice or you would be judged as barging into him. Abeg oooo barge into him so you see that you may not be the only chick in his life. Players would always want you to pre-inform them so they act up when you are around. Mind you he may also tell you not to call at a certain time . Pls call before you get a heart break jor. Anyways lets see the opposite of the guy who wants to settle down with you .
1. He talks about the future with you without hesitation.
2. He tells you some of his favorite things about you that are unique and plans a trip with you for next year.
3. He wants to hang out with you on a Sunday afternoon and wants you to meet his parents and friends and introduce yours to him.
4. He shares his password with you and remembers all the little details about you and your life.
5. He feels comfortable talking about a bad day or what is on his mind to you .
6. He loves to spend time with you no matter how busy he is and tells his friends about you and his plans for you.
7. He calls you his girl friend without giving it a second thought and gives you accesss to his life without hesistation.
8. He does not give you time jurisdiction to visit or call him. You have a spare key to his apartment and he loves to hear your voice.
9. He keeps texting or calling you during working hours to check on you and finds every little opportunity to show to you he loves you. He buys gifts , spoils you in a little way.
10. When you guys quarrel, it's for a stronger bond and not to excuse his weakness and looks for ways to make you better than he met you .
There are so many other things I would have included but for want of time, I like stop here and encourage ladies to be wise as serpents because Everyman you meet on the street is 5 times smarter than you. So wise up ladies. Am out.

Doctor Blog
I stumbled across a YouTube video about a rare genetic dis order called Progeria. For the purpose of this page, I would explain it in the best possible way so that a lame man especially from this side of the world called Nigeria would not tag anyone born with this rare disorder as a witch or wizard.
Hutchinson- Gildford syndrome also known as Progeria is a rare genetic condition that causes a child's body to age fast or grow old quickly. Most kids with Progeria do not live past the age of 13. The disease affects both sexes and all races equally. It is not inherited or passed down in families. It has no cure but some treatments can help delay some symptons such as drinking of plenty water especially when a progeria child is sick or hot. Physical and occupational therapy helps to keep their stiff joints moving.
Kids with progeria look healthy when they are born but start showing signs of the disease during their first year. They do not grow or gain weight normally. Progeria does not affect a child's intelligence or brain development at all.
Health problems/ strokes are eventual causes of death in most children with progeria.
Traits of progeria syndrome includes a bigger head, large eyes, small lower jaw, beaked nose, incomplete closure of the eye lids, hair loss including eyelashes and eye brows, thinning, spotty and wrinkled skin, visible veins and high pitched voice.
While the health issues includes delayed or abnormal tooth formation, fragile bones, some hearing loss, stiff joints, hip dislocation and insulin resistance. Source ( mayo clinic and web MD).
Hmmmm while we pray none of us experience this syndrome through a family member or offspring, let's be sensitive and be ahead of our game if we find any child experiencing this syndrome.

My man Versus your man
Whenever you see a group of ladies gisting , married or single, 85% of what they are talking about is their man. Yea yea " roll eyes". Such gists ranges from how he did this and that, his caring attitude, his bad side and many others. Babes! Most of us forget that there are no perfect man out there. Uhmmmm you are allowed to ponder on it.
God created every man uniquely and it's the diversity in human that makes the world interesting. You cannot have all the qualities you desire in a man. He might be caring but is a dirty man or an organized guy but a nag, a romantic man but a dead womanizer. So whatever he is, no one is perfect.
If you can tolerate his weakness, you can entertain it. Don't always believe the lies ladies tell you about theirs. If you love him enough and can tolerate him, build your love and gradually you would arrive at your end point. So be happy with whom ever you are with if you can tolerate . Am out. " side eyes"
