[MUST READ] : The Ghost-Worker Aristol
Isn't it a national tragedy that the only collateral you have in living a comfortable life are your big bo0bs, curves, spotless face, smooth skin, brazilian wig (s) and contacts of pot- bellied men and young marauding boys who are ready to debase you into a sexual commodity?
It is painful that your life is actually dormant. You post pictures of your private embodiments online and physically, you convince your low self esteem that your internal deficit can be nutrient via exorbitant materialistic appearance. Even when you truly know that you live a faux life, you convince yourself with the shambolic and fading momentary gains that follows your lack of respect for yourself.
You make a photo collage of pictures hueing hotel rooms, shopping centres, different estates, political and highbrow social gathering in order to convince your low-self-esteem that you're actually better than those who aren't traders in your trade. Infact, for everyday you go out, you make a picture of your wears to intimidate your mirror self and encourage your low self esteem. You award yourself a title of "big girl" to cover your chronic lowself esteem and poverty mentality. Yes, poverty mentality I said, you know why? Life is not easy, only those who fight genuinely overcome that poverty, you who took the easier way by exploiting your natural commodity do it because of poverty mentality, because there was never a struggle, only a jungle of immorality and "sexual rascality". How can you even feel special? Why? You're a ghost worker in the field of life, you use your easier way to milk from the hard work of married women, genuine hard working ladies, sisters and brothers of those you sell your wares to. You're a sexual and social thief. A home breaker. An economic saboteur. A low life and the lowest slide in the cadre of feminine virtuousness, NO! I meant virusness, because you share that one too from one man to another. How can you call yourself a big girl for affording the expensive things of life by trading your punany? Why should you feel special when you have commercialise that space to escape your lowself esteem?
...and then, constantly, you ply highways every weekend to different towns looking for buyers. You constantly put your life at risk and the happiness of your parents at risk. Those poor parents, praying that you will make a fine woman but you make yourself a fine harlot. You create a following by making the vulnerable ones feel you're a big girl, they want to be big girls too, so they want to be like you. As you understand their vulnerability, you recruit them to join you in order to boost your low-self- confidence. ..and you make low other persons. You're weak, internally empty, internally poor even though outwardly expensive. Even those men you ride on their donis price you as a commodity. Infact, you're a potential ritual animal to increase their fortunes. This same you, who have pillaged the moral valley would dare want your spoils of war to be: Good marriage, wealth, God-fearing boyfriend and husband who won't cheat on you, many children after marriage, family love and even to be the President's wife. You're a selfish being, carlous at its best because you would have deprived others who have worked for it genuinely, scheming your way as usual to be there. But there's a simple judgement for you. . An empty end awaits you. You're a ghost worker of success.
Here are the true feminine heroes:
The OK goods sellers, the true Make-up artists, the educated feminists, the female bloggers, teachers and hawkers. The female bankers, lecturers, Judges and the virtuous illiterate women out there.
You're all my heroes, you have a class.
You're the real workers while those ghost workers steal from you.
But there is a simple judgement for you... A full and lasting end when you breakthrough. Continous happiness without guilt.
Then ofcourse, you must have tapped your internal esteem to affirm that you're human and a woman.

Life Lessons Every PAAU Student Should Know Before Graduating
As a student you probably would not believe us if we
tell you that are absolutely naive and no, you are not
on top of the world.
You will soon graduate from the university, service
year is going to be awesome (at least according to the
stories you’ve heard).
After service, you are going to get a job, have a family,
build a home, become a millionaire and live happily
ever after.
There is just one problem with your plan. The only
problem with your plan is the real world.
This article is to lets students know things to look out
for before they graduate so they don’t get railroaded.
1. A Degree Does Not Entitle You To A Job
We all know getting a degree means a lot of hard work
and commitment but because you have a degree does
not mean somebody is going to grant you an
automatic job offer.
Gone are the days when all you needed to get a good
job was a university degree.
We were all told the same lies in secondary school, get
a university degree and a mouth watering job would
fall on your lap.
The smart people are the ones who figured out this lie
early in school and made sure the time they spent in
school would separate from other students who were
busy enjoying school life to the fullest.
It’s time to get your head out of the sand.
2. Start The Job Search Before You Graduate
Job hunting is a complicated thing and there is no
almighty formula for you to acquire a job. Job seeking
is not something you can “cram” for and pour out
everything during an exam. There are no cheat notes
for post-graduation experience.
The job hunting business is an on-the-training
experience and the best way to get ahead of your
colleagues is to start your career exploration during
your service year or better yet during your university
days.
You can research branches of your field, do
internships (industrial trainings), find out what size of
company is for you, and practice job searching
techniques.
Put these tips in play and by the time you’re done with
service, you’ll be prepared for the next phase of your
life and it will be quite tricky for reality to hit you with
tons of bricks.
3. Facebook Is Forever
Not just facebook, but twitter, instagram, and every
other social network that you decide to be a part of.
What does this mean to an average student? Well it
means that every obscure joke you post on Facebook,
every explicit picture you share, every inappropriate
comment will be visible to the world when you become
famous or when you go job hunting.
At the very least, know how to manipulate your social
media privacy settings and restrain yourself from
littering your social media accounts with unfitting
content.
Being appropriate on the web is just as important for
a political career as it is for finding employment. Your
binge drinking photos might be funny now but they
won’t be so hilarious in five years time.
4. Life Is Expensive
You are probably surviving on the allowance you
receive from your parents right now and you’ve
realized that life can be expensive, EXPENSIVE.
Just wait until you have to live on your own, probably
during service year or when you get your first job.
By the time you pay for house rents, transportation
fare, recharge cards, light bills, water bills, food,
utilities, and every miscellaneous expense. It won’t
take long before you realize that life is expensive.
Everything would suddenly become so expensive that
you would sometimes feel like crying.
This is one of the most painful things to learn.
EVERYTHING costs money.
Anytime from now, you should learn how to create a
budget for yourself. Otherwise your rent will be due,
your kitchen will be empty and you will be busy
dodging from the people you owe money.
5. Never Be Scared To Take Chances
This is probably the most important lesson you have
to learn before you graduate, never be scared to take
chances. You’ll never get anywhere you want if you
don’t take calculated risks every now and then.
No one is telling you to jump out of a plane or go
swimming with crocodiles (which would be awesome if
you survive), but nothing in life comes easy. Yes, it is
cliché, but it the hard truth. After all, nothing can
deputise experience.
When you become a graduate, the best option is not
becoming a boring office robot whose life revolves
around work.
Your twenties and thirties are the some of the best
years of your life, we kid you not.
Do not be afraid to face the real world with open
arms, explore opportunities, and take chances. You’ll
be surprised at what fate has in stock for you.
6. Learn How To Interact With People
Learning how to interact is a very valuable skill you
need to have in your belt. It is a “street smart” skill.
You could read a million books on how to interact with
people but the only way to develop your interaction
skill is to put it into practice constantly until it becomes
a part of you.
This skill will surely be tested each time you go for a
job interview. Heck! You even need this job more if
you are an entrepreneur.
Learn to greet people with a smile. Say “thank you,
please and I appreciate” whenever the situation
deems necessary. These small gestures go a long way
to make a huge difference. Don’t be so quick to
dismiss the power of appreciation and courtesy.
Make small talk, get to know anyone you have to spend
more than thirty minutes with, help them if you can.
Who knows? You might meet your own saviour.
Don’t know what to talk about? You could talk about
the TV shows you watch, the cool blogs you visit on the
net (don’t forget to mention giftedgreen.com), the
weather – hint hint : ).
Learn to be always positive, make sure people smile
after talking to you.
7. A Skill Will Get You Farther Than A
Certificate
What we recommend is that you pick up as many skills
as possible, as long as you have a passion for it. Do
not say “I am studying English Language, why do I
need to learn HTML?” If you are computer major, take
a couple of management trainings. It will help you in
the long run.
The skills you acquire do not necessarily have to be
educational; you could learn tailoring, baking,
programming, carpentry . . . anything. You never know
when your minor skill will become your added
advantage, or your primary source of income.
Not only that, you will be able to converse with a larger
variety of different people, plus it shows your
employer that you are a fast and versatile learner.
8. Save Something – Anything
Start saving now and you’ll be setting the foundation
of your financial future.
There is always a need to save, even if it is the tiniest
bit each month. Like we said earlier, life is expensive
and the best way to be prepared is for you start saving
right now.
Whether it’s for a big purchase, an emergency or for
your future it’s important to have a little money for fall
back to during rainy days. Trust us, those days will
come.
9. You Are Going To Need Lots Of Hardwork
You are now a graduate, you no longer need to read
through the night, attend boring lectures and write
difficult examinations. Your life should be an easy pie
from here. Right? Wrong.
In fact, this is the time that you need to work harder
than you imagined, if you want to be successful.
Although you could relax; get a federal government
appointment, and retire on your pension. This is
perfect, if you want to be mediocre.
We are you are among those that want to be
successful. In order to do that, you are going to need a
lot of brain work, stay up late at nights and lots of
reading if you are going to be among the 1%.
Even if your father is a billionaire, it’s a lot of hard work
maintaining all that money.
10.Success Takes Time
After applying all these, do not expect to become a
millionaire overnight, or in a week or in a month.
Success takes time.
No matter the amount of hard work, Success takes
time.
If you are in a hurry to be successful, you will either
fall prey to money swindlers or get yourself entangled
in something highly illegal. Neither of them sounds
tell you that are absolutely naive and no, you are not
on top of the world.
You will soon graduate from the university, service
year is going to be awesome (at least according to the
stories you’ve heard).

Ways To Manage Your Finances As A PAAU Student (A MUST READ)
Most times, it is not that the money we are given is not
enough but lack of financial management poses the
greatest challenge, here is an outline of 5 major ways
to manage your finance as a PAAU student.
1. Have a Monthly
Budget
This is very important in
managing your finances. If
you set yourself an
allocated amount to spend
each month, then you will
be able to track how much
you are spending per year.
This will help you to plan
how much money you need
to live and will enable you
to find out if you can keep
to this monthly budget. The
best part is that if you
under spend per month than your fixed budget allows
you to, then you will be saving money for you to use
elsewhere!
2. Keep Emergency money
Having Emergency money is a highly rated tip which
we recommend. It’s always good to have emergency
cash which is not part of your budget. This way, if you
ever have any issues or emergency situations, then
you have that allocated amount to help you through
your situation. On the other hand, you would be
saving this allocated amount if you don’t spend it!
3. Have a Student Bank Account
Student bank accounts are a great way of managing
your student finances. Your overdraft is there to help
you manage how much extra money you may need in
an emergency situation. The actual account is great to
see how much you are spending as you can go into
your bank to get a statement of how much you have
spent. From this statement, you can see if you are
spending too much money.
4. Write Down Your Costs
Writing down your costs is a great way of tracking your
finances. Simply writing down how much you have
spent will enable you to work out if you are spending
too much money.
5. Review Your Bank Statements
Reviewing your bank statements every week will
enable you to work out how much you are spending
per month. This then allows you to decide on whether
you want to increase your spending or whether you
want to decrease your spending. Either way, this will
help you manage your finances properly.
