Hello Billy. Do you mind if I ask you a question: so, I recently went through a traumatic event, and my body and mind Seems to be in disharmony. My body hasn't seem to get the memo.

Is there a practical way I can reset my mind/body back to default? Do you mind sharing this sort of knowledge?🙏

What is really a joke is being in America in the era of chaos.

Not everyone is at your level of financial comfortability. For some people; that is a life changing opportunity.

Congrats man.

Only way to determine if a skill is what learning is the financial reward.

The other important thing is how long it will take, now this depends how how long you can wait until you are good enough to start making money off it.


If I were to suggest, I think these threeskills have low entry barrier and are rewarding. I say this because a lot of nigerian women are finding success in it and we all know our women are not the most patient.

1. Virtual Assistant
2. Low-code/no-code development
3. UI/UX

Thank you. I'll look into them.

@Groupoid

I would prefer to stay an extra year and graduate with 2.1.

Honestly, 2.1 is better than 2.2 in the job market. That's a fact!

But if you don't go on probation and you end up graduating with 2.2, its not the end of the world. Skills and experience trump any class of degree, any day anytime.

For now, I think you should focus on learning a skill. I am not saying you should combine skill acquisition with your studies because you obviously need to study very hard for the few months you have left. But make the ground works, search for skills you can learn and maybe do an introductory lesson on it to get a feel.

Everybody is suggesting coding these days but I think there are easier skills you can learn that will start making you money in months. But you need to make your research and learning should be after graduation. I wouldn't want you to end up losing in both ends especially in your academics. Trust me, after school there will be a lot of time.


I think the big problem you have before you is your age. 27 after NYSC is a big disadvantage, I will not lie to you.

Granted by then you may be too old for a lot of graduate trainees but times are changing now, a lot of companies are now abolishing age limits, aside this, graduate trainee is not the only way to work for a multinational. You can get experience and apply to these same companies through normal recruitment process.

Your main focus should be skills that would make you employable and experience in those skills. The course you are studying is a good one too. I like that. It will make you fit in many roles in this job market.

Lastly, please stop with the regrets and self-pity. It leads no where. Honestly, it's pointless.

Good evening bro. I forgot to update you. I've seen my results and to my surprise; I ed all my courses. It was not a "first class" result though........just an average result with A's(about 40%) and B's(60%). So, I'm just aiming for a sharp 2:1 now.

Guess I was just worried for nothing. Turns out most of our worries in life are only imaginary.


Anyway, that aside; I could use your advise one an issue I've been facing:

So, like you advised me to; I've been researching on some skills I could learn after university. But my issue is i don't know what metric to use to classify a skill as something worth learning.

So far, the system I've been using is:
1) the skill must be beginner friendly. It must be easy for a beginner to get an entry level job with it;(Data science,Machine learning, Cyber security,etc are disqualified with this requirement)

2) it must require minimum resources to get started with(Web dev qualifies with this. Since with a 300k-500k laptop; one can get started with web dev)

3) if a certain skill requires any cert; it must be affordable for a beginner (again, cyber security disqualified).

4) must not be location dependent. I want a global skill that can give me foreign currency. I don't want any skill that'll tie me down to a particular location.

But I don't know if these metrics are enough. Sometimes I search for a particular skill on LinkedIn, and I see a ton of jobs (mostly foreign) for that particular skill, so I don't know if having a large number of jobs for a particular skill makes it worth learning.

I just really don't want to waste my time. Because I know what awaits me after school, and it's not funny.

I just need you to explain to me how to go about determining if a particular skill is worth learning.

CaveAdullam:


No qualms.

You can proceed.

Good evening.

You recently gave me an advice on the redpill thread, on how to meet girls and all, that I need to learn how to go out.
But the problem is that I have a non-existent social life. Like; I literally don't have a social life. You know those bro-cycle guys usually have, where we all hangout and chill? I don't have that.

And you know the worst part; I literally don't even know what to do to change it. It's like I'm helpless. All my life; I've literally been indoors. I've never had friends right since I was a child. So, I literally always felt/feel bored MD lonely.

Now, I'm in a university where I thought things would change, but it didn't. I've just been sitting in my hostel from 100lvl to 400lvl,and now I have less than one year left in this school, and I didn't make any tangible friendship with either gender.

I tried ing a sport(I don't like them tbh,but I have no choice), but I couldn't even muster the courage to even make it to the inquiry stage. I know people will say " how about ing a church?" I don't belong to any church (not a believer). I shy away from churches because I don't really have good clothes, and I don't want to look weird, wearing not-so-good clothes to a place where everyone is shining.


I'm just fed up of being always lonely. I'm tired. Since i was a child; I've always been alone. It's like my identity. People always knowe as the quiet kid that doesn't talk to people.

I see some group of guys strolling together in the evenings, and I wish I could have that. I don't know if my issue is timidity+shyness. I really don't know, but I just need a change.


The main reason motivating me to even change is that I want to change is that I want girls. You told me to put myself where women are abundant, and I can't even get out of my hostel. How's that going to work?


I'm just tired Cave.

To summarize everything: I don't know how to go about, developing a social life. I think my own case is worse, because it's genetic. Ias told my dad is just like me- doesn't know how to make friends nor go out, and he lost a lot of opportunities. I don't want to end up like him. But yet; I don't know how to help myself.

CaveAdullam:


Sometimes, my girlfriend does send me screenshots or photos of some sentences in the letters and messages I send to her.

I will be like wow, "Shay na me write this one ní...was I smoking or what".

1. You are not as fair as the sun but you shine brighter than all the celestial bodies. Even the sun is jealous of your beauty and glory.

2. Your feminity fills my hollows and bellies with excitement and wonders. I always want to wrap myself around you and get energized.

3. Among all the beautiful creatures, you come first. The first among women. Even the flowers of the earth call you beautiful. The birds of the air call you mother.

4. Your femininity is a splendor. Your wholesomeness smells like Arabian perfume. I want to inhale you to stupor.

5. Your bosom is where I find peace. And from your fountains gush out feminine grace, gentility, and sweetness.

Bonus:

6. Every time I set my eyes on you, you elate my spirit; my cheeks and jawlines are drawn with smiles. I'm excited to bask again in your feminine grace.

7. Your presence is seductive. It is the temptation I want to always fall for. Beautiful temptation.

8. Nature has its unique fragrance. But that fragrance is an extension of you. You fill the heaven and earth with your fragrance and glory.

9. Your lips are cute, small, soft, and red. Your kisses have implanted a signature of love in my heart, and I do want to love you now and always.

10. Your voice is that sonorous siren I want to hear. It keeps me engaged and reminds me of the adventures I am yet to unwrapped in you.

Winks.

PS: I will add more if time permits.

Good evening. Do you mind if I ask you some questions? I could use some elderly advice.

CaveAdullam:


1. How do you expect to have a rapport with women when your social life is zero? Will they come and meet you inside your house?

2. In 2025 and beyond, you can't be an introvert first before getting anything in this life. Else, you'll languish alone.

Be what you want to be first before metamorphosing into an introvert.

3. You want women. There's nothing wrong with that.

Don't rationalize it. Don't pretend about it.

4. Those university girls are not interested in a serious relationship. So, foolish of them. (I will not digress).

So, you too, don't come with the mindset of a serious relationship. Except you luckily find a homely and modest woman.

5. Be lively. Be jovial. Smell nice.

Nobody cares about your 2k long sleeves. Just iron it well and use good body sprays.

Don't act needy. Roll with the boys. Roll with the girls.

Start practicing with your coursemates and faculty colleagues.

Play. Be fun to be with. Don't be timid.

Another secret: experiment with your barber till you get the perfect haircut. Jeez!

You are not average bro. Maintain your small standard.

Babes will fall in pleasant places for you.

6. Use the library. Go to night class. Attend a local church.

Put yourself in places where women are abundant. At the end, there will always be that 1 woman that will have a genuine desire for you.

7. You don't need a fat bank to reach this stage.

Dead that mindset.

At any stage you find yourself as man, a beautiful romance can happen.

I understand that we are in a hyper-social media culture today. But that shouldn't discourage you.

There are many good women outside that are waiting to bag you if you prove your masculinity and competence.

Everything is not about money, money, money.

You must learn how to get women without pillaging your pocket.

8. Don't complain.

Put in the work.

You can't tell me that you are the ugliest or least average in that faculty not to even talk of the university.

Bro, come out from your closet and catch the fun by yourself.

Nothing will happen until you make deliberate romantic efforts.

Thanks.

Thank you very much.

Please go ahead

So, approximately 8 months ago; I was dumped by my gf(we're both university students). I don't want to go into details, as to what caused the breakup, but she moved on with another guy(her male bestie), and I'm not completely over her.

So, I believed I've grieved enough, and I'm ready to try dating again. But the problem is rejection. I've gotten so many rejections from females that I had to take a break from asking girls out. Dating as an average guy is very difficult. I just honestly want to give up on it entirely, since I don't even see how I'm going to get a girl here (I school in Edo state, so you know how materialistic the girls are).


I know I'll usually be advised to work hard, make money, and all those stuffs, but there's nothing wrong with me as I am. I know I'm just a student, still dependent on parents; but do I really don't to have a fat bank just to get a girl in University? (I don't go for those high class ladies though. Just the average ones)

I'm asking for your advice sir. Do I just forget about women completely, and just focus on getting my shit right? Making money is not exactly easy here.

I endured a lot of things a guy shouldn't endure from my ex, because I knew I had no options if I broke up with her.

NB: I also have a next to non-existing social life.

This world is really brutal for a man.

emmaodet:
As a man, in whatever you do, please always constantly add value to yourself, try and make sure you are earning no matter what and please, improve your social life.
Working, earning, financially stable is not enough, please increase your social life i repeat because without increasing your social life, all what you have achieved will make you settle for less and be satisfied with it.

clubs be it Rotaract, 36 lioness, if you have the financial muscle golf club etc.
with a nice gym center, go swimming regularly etc.
Weekend movies, tour/event groups that plans for weekend tours and beaches etc.
Mingle with friends that invites you to parties and events regularly etc.
With this, you will never be short of young beautiful women.
The problem with a low social life is that it makes you settle for less.
You will see your girlfriend as the best thing or woman you can get when in reality, your social status can afford you a far better lady.
Women will explore their femineity to the fullest to secure the best man they can get, while are we men not fully utilizing our masculinity and secure the best woman we can get also? we settle far too low

Good afternoon. Do you mind if I ask you a question?

Rush hour.

Thank you very much bro. By my calculations; I would still be 26 by the time I round-off. NYSC. So; I would still meet a lot of graduate trainee roles. ASUU is the only thing that can disrupt everything. I pray God holds them down till I finish.


And thank you for the last paragraph too. I really appreciate it.

Karleb:


No wahala. Go ahead.

So, to make a long story very short: I'm currently a Mathematics student in one of the federal universities in Nigeria. I just recently moved to 400lvl even though I doubt I'll be there long enough.
The Genesis of my problem
So; my faculty/department has a rule of ing a minimum of nothing less than six, 3rd level Mathematics courses(excluding CED(entrepreneurship class)), to proceed to the next level; which in my case; is final year. But the issue is out of a minimum of six courses; I am only 100% sure of ing only 3, which will lead me to having a probation, and I'll have to repeat 300lvl(don't worry. They don't withdraw here. The worst that could happen is a probation).

You might probably say I'm paranoid, nd I shouldn't over-worry myself; but the issue is my worries are not imaginary (I know most worries are imaginary).
This whole thought of me not graduating this year, popped into my head while I wwbwas writing my 2nd semester exams; and I thought they were just imaginary worries. But they aren't. And I'm not someone who handra anxiety really well. So; I was having panic attacks while writing my exams(2nd semester), to the point where I couldn't even read anymore. I couldn't even revise anymore; and I don't know if you have any friend who studied Mathematics; you'll know we write proofs a lot. Make a mistake, even omitting just one word in your proof; and you fail an entire question. So, my anxiety( I have anxiety issues) led me to start making mistakes In my exams. So, out of five courses I wrote in 2nd semester; I'm only sure of ing just one(2 from first semester+ 1 from second semester).


The crazy thing is that I still don't even know where I went wrong. Honestly! I study really hard (I know you'll say it's not enough) but 300lvl just took me by surprise. And it didn't help that I was going through a terrible heartbreak, that led me devastated (still not over it). Although; I went back to the drawing board to try to discover my errors (you know; after accepting responsibility for my failure); ND I've been able to discover some mistakes that I made.


My academic life started going downhill when I started dating the girl at the bottom of my class in 200lvl(I know the rule; don't date your coursemate. I broke it). Although most people would say it doesn't matter; but in my own case; it affected me a lot. I let her unseriousness affect my life, to the point where I stopped going to classes at some point (not like the classes helped. Useless lecturers), and I moved out of my hostel to go live with her, off- campus(stupid move right?). I was drunk in love that I really didn't care I was becoming unserious.

But I'm not going to just blame her for my mistakes. I should've know better; to place my goals above anybody.

Another mistake I made was that I didn't study my lecturers properly. I learnt there's a big difference between being intelligent (not Einstein level Sha) and knowing how to exams. I didn't even read my lecturers note throughout my 200lvl, because I thought Mathematics should be universal. What is acceptable in Canada should also be in Nigeria too right? I was wrong.

I learnt you have to give it back, as they gave you. Word for word. Even if you don't understand hat they thought; just cram and .

To cut the long story short; because if I type everything that's on my mind; it'll be too long.


There's an at least 80% chance of me probating 300lvl. I've accepted my fate. I've accepted that it's a possibility I can't rule out. So; I've told my parents about it, and they're well aware of everything.
But even if by some act of divine intervention; I make it to 400lvl without probation; I'll have many carryovers that I'll have to take an extra session (we have 4 credit load courses in finals, and you can only max 50 credits (4 compulsory plus 6 credits projects)).

So; I did some permutations and combinations; if I manage to escape probation; then there's an at least 90% chance I'll graduate with a 2.2. Because I'll have to literally get all A's to even graduate with a CGPA within the 3.5 range.
Because since 200lvl; it's been really difficult for me to get A's. I went from having 9 A's in 100 lvl(4.57 cgpa) to 1 A in 200(3.0 cgpa). And I come from a poor family, that I can't risk graduating with a 2.2.

I'm currently 23,and if ASUU holds their peace; I can still make it through Nysc before I hit 27, to be able to try my chance for graduate entry roles.

If I had a skill, or come from a ive family; then I wouldn't be so bothered. But I know we're i come from. My life will extra harder if I make a second class lower.

I know it might not seem like it; but I can cope with the course. I know I can. I just need to restrategize. The brain is there, but I used a wrong strategy.

I'm even praying right now for probation, so I can right my wrong. If i probate; then I'm 100% sure of making a 2.1. im very very sure. I can deal with the shame of my mates graduating before me. We don't have the same destiny.

Probating would be like life giving me a second chance. I'm honestly praying it happens at this point.

So, if you were in my shoes; would you prefer graduating this year with a 2.2 or next year, with a 2.1?

Nb: a session in my school, excluding holidays; is just six months. So; it's less than a year sef.
