This is unlike any other stage in life prior to and after. This is where working smart really separates you from the rest. Therefore, here are some smart and effective study tips you should apply in your university work-smart strategy. 1.

OLX which has rebranded its Kenyan unit to Jiji is a revolutionary platform that allows buyers and sellers to meet. Buyers can acquire used products at cheaper prices and sellers can dispose of products they no longer need. Some would describe this platform as godsend having benefited from its free services. However, a considerable number of people too, I included, would cry anytime someone mentions OLX. This is courtesy of some audacious OLX conmen who have devised means of conning people.

It’s a fact that men are generally wary of smart outspoken and successful women. Is it wrong though? I don’t think so. I believe it is a result of the way our ancestors set the responsibilities and roles of both men and women. Since the beginning, thesociety has required of the man to be the provider and protector of the family,which made him the head. Yet this status has been greatly challenged today withthe wake of feminism and unfortunately, men are finding it hard to adopt. Recent studies in the UShave revealed some interesting facts about the preferences of men in smartsuccessful women. When asked, most claim they would date a smarter and moresuccessful woman. However, once theyinteract with intelligent women and are outsmarted, they would rather not dateone. In addition, it is quite lucid that most marriages with very successfulwomen rarely last. I guess the problem is partly, the male ego, so frail andfragile, yet so fundamental to his existence. It is the reason why mensolve is...

Mackenzie Tuttle recently become the 3 rd richest woman in the world, how? By divorcing the richest man in the world; Jeff Bezos.

Why? They didn’t have a prenup. On the other hand, casesof men who have lawfully been awarded a portion of their woman’s wealth after adivorce are very rare. For this reason, I believe that it is very ignorant fora man or a woman but mostly a man to marry without a prenup especially in thiscentury where gender equality has been corrupted by undeserved entitlement onboth ends. First things first, aprenup; short of Prenuptial Agreement, is a written document that stipulateshow wealth, property and other things will be divided between a man and a womanin cas...

Xtian Dela explains thatthe idea started when he asked members on his contact list to share some oftheir confessions on WhatsApp DM, which he would then anonymously post on hisstatus. Surprisingly, he got so many confessions and within 3 days, hisWhatsApp had already blown up with thousands of messages.
