11 STREET OT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW:
1. Know when to leave before trouble starts. If a place suddenly becomes too quiet, pay attention.
2. Loyalty is earned, not assumed. Just because you vibe with some guys in the neighborhood doesn't mean they've automatically got your back. Always be cautious, and never let your guard down.
3. If you're hanging out with friends or in a group, always take your drink with you if you need to use the restroom or step away for a few minutes. If you forget it and come back, pour it away.
4. Don't involve yourself in fights that aren't yours.
5. As much as you have to maintain your respect in the streets, don't come off as proud and pompous. When you see where guys are gathered as you are passing, always endeavor to shake, hail them, and exchange greetings.
6. Not every greeting deserves a long conversation. Sometimes be cool with people and leave it at just greetings: "Senior man, how far na? I greet you, boss. I dey loyal to your government."
7. Once in a while, always drop something for boys in the streets. Don't overdo it, though, so it won't turn into an entitlement. But you see those agberos, area boys, dash them money when you have it. Those boys will appreciate 1,000 naira and remember it as though you gave them huge amounts.
8. Know at least two routes home, and switch them up from time to time. Don't always use the same route where everyone knows you'll pass.
9. Don't walk around with both earpieces in at night.
10. If you are living in people's village, if possible, stay away from their girls. Even on your street, I will recommend you don't date any girl. You can always import girls. You can get yourself into unnecessary trouble by dating a girl one or two local guys have been pursuing unsuccessfully. Simply being seen with her may make them resent you.
11. As a girl, do not sleep with any guy in your neighborhood. Most of the time, they usually kiss and tell. Once you have slept with one, he will likely discuss it during one of the boysโ gatherings, and all of a sudden, you see different guys coming to ask you out. Everyone now wants a piece of the cake.
Most people think you need a gym to sharpen your boxing.
Using a door frame to build timing, accuracy, defensive awareness, and proper punch alignment is pure technical work.๐๐ฅ๐
@lorddrey This is the truth. One of my neighbor, at least at the moment doesn't have much going on for him financially, but he retains a baddie, someone everyone thought would jilt, because he understands the nitty-gritty of bedmatics exercises. The girl worships the ground he walks on.
@Mild_Kerr@badasskachii@dharnyyoung Are you stupid for failing to realize that he poses as someone who belongs where he doesn't to add authentication to his criticism?
You are a dog!

This was exactly what stopped me from going to church. Not once did I believe that those sounds aren't contrived. The more I try to give in to its divinity, the more resoundingly foolish it leaves my whole faculty.
SAPA made me get 3 professional certifications in just 4 months and it was intense.
I knew overcoming sapa in my life wouldnโt happen by luck or ordinary effort. I had to do something to leave that stage forever.
I started noticing several job openings with amazing offers, but there was one common requirement..professional certifications.
That became my turning point.
I studied like crazy. YouTube, Reddit, Quora, and Chrome were practically the only apps on my phone. Days turned into nights. Sleepless nights, discipline, consistency, and relentless studying became my routine.
After 4 intense months, I earned all 3 certifications.
If you truly want to overcome sapa, invest in yourself. Build valuable skills.
Go for certifications like PMP, CISSP, CFA, Security+, or GRC-related certifications.
Use YouTube wisely. Stop using it only for entertainment. It has powerful resources where you can learn almost anything...oftware development, cybersecurity, finance, data analysis, and more.
Apply for jobs. There are remote opportunities that can pay you far more than illegal ventures ever will and with peace of mind, dignity, and long-term growth.
Upgrade yourself.
Your next opportunity may just be one skill, one certification, or one decision away.
@mrmaobi@Wizarab10 You are moronic if that's your final analysis. If you'd draw how many times he's been created a prime chance to score that rounded his entire performance as poor, I'll deactivate. You just have to be a fool to tag Ronaldo as the worst player.
