PINKYS CORNER

Lagos is the only state that has two names(EKO). I love Lagos so much because it's filled with a lot of side attraction, opportunities and lots more but one thing I don't like about Lagos is the traffic,the stress , the Owo ile(house rent), e.t.c.

I went to Lagos last week to get few things at alaba and it was so stressful because things have really changed and prices are not stable but that's not the issue bayii.

 I left after everything and thought I could go back to Ibadan the same day but for where, I was so tired and had to go sleep over at a friend's place. I woke up so early, like 4:00am because I love to move very early anytime i want to travel. You know as a Lagos boy now, it has always been my life style to move along with my jack knife whenever I move early or late at night. Not because anything bad will happen but because, at times, you might be harassed because they want to snatch away your phone.

 Snatching away the phone is not the issue but causing damage on the victim is the wahala I have with them.

I left Aiyelogun(jakande Estate) to ilepo junction to board a bus to Oshodi, on getting to a junctionl, I saw two guys coming towards me because i was having my bag at my back and my jack knife is right in my pocket. Was putting on a short, a round neck and a smart snickers. I saw them but pretended not to see both of them. I dipped hand into my pocket and brought out the knife.

 Note: It looks like a toy until you press a button then the knife will appear. I took it out and also put on my phone torch light . I focused the torchlight to my right and pressed the button then the knife appeared. I noticed they both disguised, one went to the left and the other to the right.

 I didn't even bother, I was so confident that, I had to stop and balanced well, when they realized how ready I was, then they began to pretend as if they forgot something, then a car was coming right in front of them. I just walked fast and got to to ilepo junction. On getting there, I met a woman telling other people standing on how they collected her bag with several slaps on her cheek. I wasn't surprised then I told them what I experienced and she confirmed it, saying, it was the same spot they took her belongings from her. I just thank God for his mercies and safety. I got a bus thereafter to Oshodi.
Presently, I have misplaced the knife sef during the process of trying to secure a sit on the bus. We were much at that junction and when a bus came, the sit available is just for 4. So, I had to rush in.
I pray my good Lord will continue to guide,guard and direct our steps. These boys are bastards and don't care to injure one even after taking your belongings.

Na thief dem thief the knife so...

Please the person who dropped a comment on wanting to gift pinky money.please mail me for his account details so that you can pay it directly into his account...Thanks and God bless you much.

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MANIPULATION

Manipulation refers to the skillful and often deceptive control or influence of people, objects, or situations to achieve a desired outcome.
It involves using tactics to shape or alter someone's thoughts, emotions, or behavior to suit the manipulator's goals.
Manipulation can occur in various contexts, such as personal relationships, social interactions, or professional settings.

Key aspects of manipulation include:

1.) Deception: Manipulation often involves some form of deceit or misleading behavior to achieve the desired result. This may include withholding information, providing false details, or distorting the truth.

2.) Control: Manipulators seek to exert control over others, either subtly or overtly. This control can be emotional, psychological, or even physical, depending on the situation.

3.) Persuasion: Manipulation frequently employs persuasive techniques to sway someone's opinions, beliefs, or decisions. This can involve flattery, guilt-tripping, or other methods to influence the target's mindset.

4.) Exploitation: Manipulation often involves taking advantage of vulnerabilities or weaknesses in the target to achieve the manipulator's objectives. This can include exploiting emotions, insecurities, or trust.

5.) Subtlety: While manipulation can sometimes be overt, it often operates subtly, making it challenging for the target to recognize the manipulative tactics being employed.

Please note that manipulation is not always negative; it can be neutral or positive depending on the intent and impact.
In negative contexts, manipulation can lead to exploitation, harm, or the violation of trust.
In positive contexts, manipulation might involve influencing others for mutually beneficial outcomes without causing harm.
