How to identify the signs of being in a Wasted relationship
In a relationship, it's important to be able to recognize when someone is wasting your time. Time is precious, and being with the wrong person can prevent you from finding a fulfilling and healthy partnership. Here are some sure ways to tell if a guy or lady is just wasting your time in a relationship.1. Lack of Communication: Communication is the foundation of any successful relationship. If your partner consistently avoids open and honest communication, dodges important discussions, or fails to share their thoughts and feelings, it can be a sign that they are not invested in the relationship. Effective communication is crucial for building trust and understanding, and without it, the relationship is likely to stagnate.2. Inconsistent Behavior: Pay attention to your partner's behavior patterns. If they constantly change their moods, actions, or commitments, it may indicate that they are not serious about the relationship. Inconsistency can lead to confusion, anxiety, and an unstable emotional environment, which is detrimental to a healthy partnership.3. Lack of Respect: Respect is a fundamental aspect of any relationship. If your partner consistently disrespects your boundaries, disregards your opinions, or belittles your accomplishments, it demonstrates a lack of appreciation and consideration. A person who truly values you will treat you with respect and dignity.4. Selfishness: Healthy relationships thrive on mutual give and take. If your partner consistently prioritizes their needs, desires, and goals over yours, it shows a lack of consideration and empathy. A selfish partner is unlikely to invest in the growth and happiness of the relationship, leaving you feeling neglected and unfulfilled.5. Lack of Support: In a healthy relationship, partners support each other's dreams and aspirations. If your partner consistently undermines your goals, discourages you from pursuing your passions, or fails to provide emotional support during challenging times, it suggests they are not interested in your well-being or personal growth. A supportive partner encourages and uplifts you.6. Emotional Manipulation: Watch out for signs of emotional manipulation. Manipulative partners often use guilt, fear, or intimidation to control and manipulate their significant other. They may play mind games, make you doubt yourself, or use your vulnerabilities against you. This type of behavior is toxic and can be extremely damaging to your emotional well-being.7. Lack of Effort in the Relationship: A healthy relationship requires effort and investment from both partners. If your partner consistently shows a lack of effort in spending quality time together, planning dates, or making romantic gestures, it suggests that they are not prioritizing the relationship. When one person consistently carries the weight of the relationship, it can lead to resentment and dissatisfaction.8. Dishonesty and Lack of Trust: Trust is the cornerstone of a strong relationship. If your partner lies, breaks promises, or consistently hides things from you, it erodes the foundation of trust. A relationship without trust is unstable and leaves you constantly questioning their intentions and actions.9. Lack of Intimacy: Intimacy goes beyond physical attraction and includes emotional connection and vulnerability. If your partner consistently avoids intimate conversations, physical affection, or fails to prioritize your intimate needs, it can indicate a lack of emotional investment and a shallow connection.10. Different Values and Goals: Misalignment in core values and life goals can lead to significant conflicts and a lack of compatibility. If you and your partner have fundamentally different values, aspirations, or visions for the future, it can be an indication that the relationship is not built on a solid foundation.Recognizing these signs is crucial for your own well-being and happiness. If you consistently experience these behaviors in your relationship and your partner shows no willingness to change or address the issues, it may be time to reevaluate whether the relationship is worth your time and effort. Remember, you deserve to be in a relationship where you are respected, valued, and loved for who you are.

Inside a Nigerian Boarding School
The iron pillars in the hostels not only support the building structure but also serve as a general alarm for the hostel hall. This alarm does not just wake you up from your sleep but takes it away from you immediately. When beaten with another strong metal, the pillars generate a loud noise, and you can feel the sound vibrations in your brain. The noise from the pillar is not to wake you but force you out of bed for the daily hostel sanitation, probably around 4:30 am. There was no specific time because it depends on the hostel prefect, but it must be very early while all students are still in the hostel. It will be a shame if you do not react to the alarm because it is also the sound of your final warning to wake up immediately. We gather at the pillar where the house prefect makes the wake-up call. After every student has assembled by the pillar, the house prefect will look out for students still sleeping after he made the call; if you did not react to the sound, you would react to the whip. You can never be too tired not to respond to both.

Danger and Skull are two people in my hostel that most of my mates will avoid any form of relationship with because we have no idea of any illegal activities they cannot partake in. Logically, you should be scared of anyone nicknamed Danger or Skull. Sometimes you do not know how dangerous you are until you have crossed the enemy's line.

Inside a Nigerian Boarding School
It was Saturday, the resumption day for all first-year students. I have been waiting all morning for my dad to come home and pick me up for my new school. Finally, at 11:22 am, I could hear the sound of his car engine, and it felt like the medicine for my anxiety had just arrived. Are you ready to go? He said, with so much excitement; I said yes and opened the car trunk as my siblings assisted me in carrying my box and other belongings. My box was not conventional, but the school highly recommended it. Made from a thick aluminum sheet, the box was about three feet in length, two feet in breadth, and a height of one foot; it had two padlocks on guard and was painted with awful colors to protect the box from rusting and not to beautify it. The nature of my box was supposed to open my mind to the idea that I was going into a den of thieves. It was impossible to pass through the facility for six years without stealing a thing, at least a pen. I was so naïve; all I was thinking about was the freedom from parenting, the allowances, the liberty from house chores, and the pride in attending one of the region's most talked about boarding schools. Finally, a few minutes past twelve, the whole house was ready to move. It was fascinating how they were all excited that I was leaving the house, but the feeling was mutual.
