PreciousTalks Podcast

Have you ever wondered what really goes on on the other side of the male-female equation? Apart from men wooing women (which has existed since time immemorial and which we already know), we thought to look at how men really feel after this whole wooing process takes place as fueled by this thing called attraction. What is that ultimate lesson to learn from this natural phenomenon though? Find out in this fun-filled and completely social episode😁💃🏾😌 REFERENCES. 1. www.gaiam.com 2.

We're just having a little talk about corruption, especially in Nigeria. A lot of things are wrong with the Nigerian society at the moment and these wrongs stem majorly from corruption. 'Tough talk and fear-based messaging cannot substitute for authenticity

and exemplary behaviour. As long as the Nigerian government’s interactions

with citizens continue to be marred by extortionate behaviour and expectations

of bribery, the state deprives itself of the moral basis to lead in addressing the

country’s corruption problem. Routinely abusive behaviour by public officials is

an obstacle to building public trust and stimulating collective action. Instead, it

fosters public cynicism, apathy and a sense that different rules apply to different

groups. Government-led anti-corruption campaigns will only be perceived as

sincere if they are self-examining and self-correcting.' If each person doesn't take a stand against corruption, deterioration is inevitable... REFERENCES 1. www.icpcnigeria.com 2. usnews.com 3. forbes.com 4. united nations reference 5. Chatham House Report

Have you been writing your whole Life (or maybe just lately 🙂) but have been too afraid to take the next step of getting your work out to the world? Fear no more! Zoro is here!🦸🏾‍♀️😅😅😁😅 In this Episode, you'll find out how two young Nigerian authors took their writing to the next level! One of them already published three books, so you see, it's not such a 'big deal' after all! Get all the insight you need now and one day, when you've published your oeuvre (oh I just wanted to use that word 😁), you'll look back to remember this first step you took... Go ahead, listen already!👍🏾

We're discussing squicky today people! Ever had to deal with other people's skunkish bodies, smelly mouths, nose picking habits and the like as if they had it all out for you?😅 These are things we may tag repulsive, intrusive, sickening, annoying... you know the words. Sometimes we are subjected to enduring these things because we do not want to be rude... Someone said of a friend: 'One thing I like about her is that though she sweats so much, she doesn't leave a stench behind...' Come on let's see what's in here and fix what could be fixed, especially if we fall into these kind of habits pretty often...😉

It's Episode 19!🤗🤗🤗🤗

Welcome back my dear.

Do you know that the UNESCO Institute of Statistics has reported that it has sent 71, 351 degree-seeking students abroad? I remember how up to seventeen years ago (if not more) travelling abroad appeared to be such a gruelling task... Waking up now to the reality of our time, it still isn't all that easy, financially, to leave a country like Nigeria but we've come to see that things aren't exactly as some thought in those days. In fact, one of the most productive and effective ways of visiting your dream country is to go on further studies. This is true because more people are now very educated and enlightened. Hence the need to use their education, skills and abilities beyond the shores of their home countries cannot be neglected .

From the interview in this brand new episode, you'll find out how my Nigerian guest, Mr Temidayo Badmus found his way to a country on the other side of the world in pursuit of a Master's Degree.

I'd really love for you to drop your comments. REFERENCES: 1. wenr.wes.org 2. https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/pages/visaguidelines (for your Nigerian passport and Visa info)

Here we goooooo! 🤗🤗🤗 The final episode of the SDGs Series is here. Life on Land, Peace, Justice, Strong Institutions and Partnerships for (achieving) the Goals is what this episode discusses; the last three goals. Listen in and share your thoughts on these goals.

Let's talk things a little away from the comfort of our houses. Far away, deep in the seas and oceans. Things that have to do with climate change and greenhouse gas emissions and air and all that stuff you hear in the news.🤷🏾‍♀️ Get ready. It's going to be a lot! Oh no, not really!😁 It's gonna be really simple.😉😎 Catch the drift here.

The urban, rural and suburban parts of a country must be more open to greenery, advanced transportation systems and a more inclusive and productive economy...

Gender Equality here people! The most sensitive gender issue on the face of the Earth right? I hear you... But do you know one of the oldest myths about gender centres on the fact that women have smaller brains, which was considered evidence for intellectual inferiority? While it’s true that, on average, women’s brains are smaller, by about 10%, there are several problems with this assumption. Despite the fact that there is an average difference in size, the overall overlap in the distributions of men and women’s brains is huge. “So that you get women with big brains and men with small brains.”

It’s worth noting that Einstein’s brain was smaller than that of the average male, and overall, many studies find that there is next to no mean difference between men and women’s intelligence or behavioural traits. Yet the claims continue to persist everywhere in the society. REFERENCES: 1. United Nations University Scholarships 2. humanrightscareers.com 3.
