15 Tips To Help You Build a Healthy Relationship

1. It’s normal to experience fear and insecurity in a new relationship. But those fears can make you unhappy in your new relationship if you let them. Remember that everybody has a dating past, and you shouldn’t base your opinion of someone on what their exes were like or what happened in past relationships. If they’re trustworthy enough to date, they are also trustworthy enough to trust.

2. It’s important to talk about the future early on in a relationship. If you are looking for a long-term relationship and the other person is looking for something more casual, make sure you both know what you want early on.

3. When you’re searching for a partner, it can be all too easy to focus on finding “The One” instead of focusing on finding someone you are compatible with. If you’re so focused on finding the perfect person that you don’t even consider that some of your relationships will not work, you may end up pushing people away or forcing sparks that aren’t there. Instead, take your partner at face value. Assume they’re not The One. Would they still be someone you want to spend your time with? If you enjoy their company and like who they are as a person, then you may already have what it takes to make a relationship work.

4. It’s important to talk about s*xual health with your partner, including where you’ve been tested and when you were last tested. Also, pay attention to what they say they like, don't like, or are uncomfortable with. There is no right time to be intimate; it's different for every couple.

5. Meeting your partner's friends in the beginning stages of a relationship can be tricky, but it's important to do so. Meeting your partner's friends early on will give you insight into their personality and how they interact with other people. For example, if all of your partner's friends are huge douches who you wouldn't normally get along with, you might not know your partner as well as you think you do (who chooses to hang out with douches if they're not a douche themselves?).

6. It's always good to talk things out in person. Texting can be great for quick check-ins and sending funny memes, but it's not the best way to have an important conversation. If you're about to get into an argument or discuss something complicated, let your partner know that you'd rather talk it through in person.

7. Be yourself. It may sound cliché, but it’s true. Don’t waste time with people who are not compatible with you. We all want to find someone we can be ourselves around, right?

8. But no matter how scary a new relationship can feel, don’t forget to enjoy it. Notice all the little moments, try new things together, and make sure you’re having fun.

9. Don’t get hung up on labels and focus on having fun in the moment. However, if you’re seeing other people, staying open about that is key.

10. Don't ignore the red flags in your relationship. If you catch your partner in a lie, if they're rude to wait staff, or if they insult a friend, that's not okay. It's a sign of deeper disrespect, and it means the relationship won't last. Nobody's perfect; you might judge your partner and they might make mistakes. If it's simply a judgment or mistake, you'll be able to talk it through. If it's more of a gut feeling that "this isn't right" or an inexcusable behavior more than a mistake, get out now .

11. A new relationship is exciting and can take up a lot of time. It’s important to maintain your friendships and interests as well. Don’t spend all your time together, and make sure that you don’t lose yourself or your friends while in a new relationship.

12. Don’t bring up your ex. It’s just not a good idea. Your new partner doesn’t want to hear about your ex, and it’s also destructive to compare your relationships with past experiences instead of enjoying them for what they are.

13. In a relationship, you shouldn't expect a 50/50 split. Instead, focus on giving 100% and expect the same in return.

14. Communicate how you feel often, and make sure that your partner understands you. To help you communicate better, consider going to see a counselor or therapist if you’re having trouble talking about your feelings.

15. It's easy to get wrapped up in what people say, but remember that actions speak louder than words. If they tell you they care about you but don't show it through their actions, move on before you get hurt

I am putting this question out to alot of key players in the Nigerian music and entertainment industries, what is  and the standards parameter available to music in the Nigerian market??? believe it or not, The Nigeria music industry is already phasing out. These music lacks philosophical depth, moral, consoling and reflective lyrics. You can hardly turn on your TV and Radio these days expecting to get a social and psychological relief. Turn your Radio and TV  on and what you have in your face and ear is a pile of Junk music and video reconstructions that doesn't strike a cord. As a country with teaming challenges and responsibilities, our overall psychological composure has a considerable significance at determining our inputs and output efforts and in relative results.

Why Snail farming is better than Poultry, fishery, piggery and Ruminant Animal Production

-
With Nigerian population at exactly 210 million people with its occupants on just  28% of its total land mass and as its megacities are home to about 145 million people. protein consumption among its people still remains a very big challenge. An average Nigerian consumes less than 10 pounds or 4.5kg of protein per year unlike in the United States with a population of 322 million people where an average individual consumes more than 150 pounds or 68kg per year. No doubt Agriculture is a fantastic and fulfilling venture especially in both crop and livestock production but which its materialization is still very young or green. To meet the protein production target, alot of effort is pumped into piggery which is still pilfered by the Islamic religion that forbids its meat, cost of feeding the animal which is less challenging compared to that of ruminant animal and health rumor by medicals house, individuals and unacertained facts by health authourities about its cholesterol level which co
