Chronicles of the 'Old Skul' Advocate




Awoken early in the morning by some rhythms that took me back…way back…gives me sore memories of what am not sure I want to think about or not.

I just found out I had insomnia. With my steady 16hrs FM stereo, I felt this company and after a while it occurred to me that there was something different about this day, something special. Then as I was about to figure, it hit me: it was my birthday!

First it was the oldies playing non stop, from Abba to Withney Houston to Michael learns to rock to Diana Rose, to Paula Abdul to Elton John to Salt n Pepper

Fulani herdsmen and the blame game controversy






I was amazed upon the observation that the blames and anguish of the PDP apologists about most of the negative turn out of events has been directed to the so called ‘Ignorant APC electorate’.

We complain that the APC led administration has mastered the blame game but yet we are guilty of the same crime.

It is important that we get this straight, what happened in

What you need to know: 9 things you do that people may use to judge your personality





Welcome to the second episode of ‘What you need to know’…on Jerry Odii’s blog. With these series of exposure, I intend to lay emphases on what you possibly encounter on daily basis and how you can use them to sieze the moment to your advantage. I hope you find them useful.

Today we are looking at ‘9 THINGS YOU DO THAT PEOPLE USE TO JUDGE YOUR PERSONALITY’

From the moment two people meet, they are sizing each other up. Whether it’s a date or a job interview, the small stuff matters – from the firmness of your handshake to your taste in music, to your punctuality, hand writing and so on.


YOUR HANDSHAKE
Firm handshakes communicate strength and confidence. A weak handshake could signal meekness.


YOUR PUNCTUALITY
Being on time is a sign that you are organized and proactive. Late people can be seen as procrastinators.


YOUR HANDWRITING
Graphologists contend that large or bold letters indicate you are extroverted, while small or tiny letters suggests shyness. Also your writing has a way of selling you off about how coordinated or not you are on the inside.


YOUR FAVOURITE COLOR
Industrial psychologists argue that red lovers are tenacious, while yellow lovers find happiness easily.


YOUR TASTE IN MUSIC
A study has found that people who listen to ‘upbeat and conventional’ jams are more likely to be outgoing and athletic. But to note, your taste in music goes a long way in describing your personality, your sensation and most importantly your exposure.


YOUR EYE CONTACT
Psychologists insist that confident extroverts tend to look more often and for longer at their partners. A huge deal of how you can express your smartness depends on your eye contact. It is a weapon of safe manipulation and defence mechanism.


YOUR MAKEUP REACTIONS
Research suggests that those who bite their nails, pull their hair, or pick their skin tend to be anxious perfectionists.


HOW YOU ASK QUESTIONS
The questions you ask and how long it takes you to ask them reveals how much of a ‘giver’ or ‘taker’ you are. It simply shows that amidst every grammatical glorification, you don’t miss out in sieving that which is important or relevant.


YOUR CHOICE OF PET
One study found that dog people are generally more energetic, while cat people are smarter and more sensitive.

Remember to leave your back behind



Embracing the reality of an unexpected ugly situation is not usually as easy as one may fathom. Some situations can be so devastating that one may think it’s the end. The truth is – you don’t welcome the end, the end welcomes you.
