#GISTME!

How to MAKE UP, and avoid a BREAK UP? 

Hello everybody, Yeah i must apologize for staying away too long on this blog. Welcome to #GISTME in pidgin English, the word means to tell you all some cool things, ideas, stories.

So, I had call from a dear friend who just fought with the love of his life. I pray he doesn't kill after this article but i feel the need to let out the fact that; I have noticed that many Nigerian couples have forgotten to that relationships can be stressful e.g. in Lagos state and quarrels do happen, misgivings, fears from past relations can creep into your new one, if you let them in. There are few things that young ladies and gentlemen should know about how to handle situation and not get tips from "Telemundo" or any of these weird soap operas.

I'll give my Do not go there tips

1. NEVER SHOUT AT YOUR MAN IN PUBLIC OR IN FRONT OF HIS FRIENDS/ PALS/ FAMILY. NEVER!Save your voice o! Same applies to guys.

   

   No hand gestures, no drama. Be angry but keep your cool. In fact eat first. Try dude.

2. SILENT TREATMENT NEVER WORKS!!! 
   

   

   Ignoring the one your love over an issue would only make matter worst. Do the christian thing, love you neighbour.

3. YOU HAVE  LESS THAN 24HOURS TO RECONCILE. 
   HOW?  This is where you need to be creative. The innovations of IT has not really helped in couples communicating, in fact we have become lazy. To be honest, you need to be creative! Make up sex doesn't really work. Yes! I am saying it to married couples. To say "Sorry" on a budget. Write a note first expressing how you feel, try to accompany it with flowers,  fruit basket or fruits in a big nylon bag (make sure is a fine clean nylon bag)
   

   

   This will cost you minimum N5,000 without the basket.

Lagos state does not have cheap flowers  shops that you go to buy or order.
 So may I suggest you jump the fence and pick one, you could make one by using vegetables like "Ugwu", "Water leaf" and "Shoko"; for laughs, avoid bitter leaf. Or pick random flowery branches, tie them together with a thread first before wrapping with a newspaper. Not a good idea?! Note not all Nigeria woman like flowers. So the task is to think before you act. We hope you know you partner?

"Over the top" Peace basket with nuts added with nice french or California wines, Chocolate and a nice jewellery set. for the lady . that would cost within the range N25,000-30,000 

 If she loves sweets, get her that also along with other things that are not sooo expensive. Put them all in a basket. Send a voice message telling her/him how you are sorry. Write a sweet letter/ note (p.s. less then half the page) attached to basket. That your peace offering.
Fresh fruits from the market, should be hand picked (make sure no rotten ones get in the mix) washed  and packed in a bag or arranged in a basket.  No sane girl can resist fruits.  You can place your orders with Eb'le events for the fruit baskets, call 08141196366.
 I believe there is a promo from 27th-31st for July 2015. 

For the record: DO NOT BUY ANY AFRICAN WOMAN A FRUIT BASKET FOR HER BIRTHDAY.

Whatever you do, make up first with that person you love. Don't get other people to plead/ intercede on your behalf before you do. Try first! then if all fails. You can relax that you made the effort to made fences.

Have a romantic adventure!
