Although things like commitment and responsibility might be quite boring but it’s also the little things that make you a man.

How to be a real man

Things are quite different with the youth of today. It seems very rampant to find immature adult men.

For the men who want to abandon that unsexy lifestyle, here are six habits to abandon to attain true manhood.

It’s quite easy to find a middle-aged man who still smokes weed, dresses in sweat pants and spends all his spare time playing video games. Although things like commitment and relationshipmight be quite boring but it’s also the little things that make a man Thus, here are s ix behavious you need to lose if you want to be a man.

1. Insecurity and competitiveness:

It’s no fun having to deal with a boy with a fragile ego who needs constant reassurance. Get over your insecurity and stop constantly trying to outdo your friends and putting them down to make yourself feel better. A man should be supportive and generous, and confident in his own abilities. He can take criticism and provide support for those around him when they need it.

2. Not being able to Communicate:

The foundation of any serious relationship is communication. Be firm but respectful in your opinions. Don’t say yes when you mean no. Think about what you want and say it. Listen to what others want. Be honest and open and don’t hide your own emotions or be afraid of confrontation or uncomfortable conversations. It’s all part of being mature.

3. Being A Know-It-All:

You may be smart and knowledgeable. It’s irritating to be constantly corrected or have things explained to me. What’s wrong with talking like equals? A man loves to be challenged, he loves a discussion or a political argument. And he can admit that he doesn’t know much about the topic.

4. Being a mirror hugger:

When you’re a boy, you drool over the models in the lingerie catalog. When you approach your 20s, you may still have this myopic idea of female beauty in your head. However, real men understand there are a lot of things that make a girl beautiful, aside from their bra size. Real men know that flaws are sexy because they belong to real women, and a real woman is sexier than a one dimensional fantasy.

5. Indecisiveness:

Boys can’t make up their mind. They don’t have careers or goals or serious relationships, because they can’t judge what’s important. Mature men know what they want in life. They recognize when they find a good woman, things or idea and they treat them with respect.

6. Being dismissive about the future:

A man has a clear plan and vision for the future. He has goals, and he puts in work to achieve them, be it financial goals, career goals, or relationship goals. He works to build a solid foundation for the future, whether that’s starting a family, a business or simply a long term relationship. Boys run away from commitment and think only of themselves. They live for the moment, with only a vague thought for the future.

The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has advised sick and too old people to stay away from worship centres following the second wave of COVID-19 being witnessed in the country.

The leadership of CAN advised Christians to continue to adhere to laid down protocols by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 to curb the spread of the pandemic.

The Christian group also called for a stop to direct contact and practices such as handshakes. A statement released by CAN’s General Secretary, Barrister Joseph Daramola on Monday January 18 read;

“Brethren, the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 has announced the emergence of the second wave of the pandemic. We appeal to all our churches to observe all the COVID-19 protocols which include the following:

“There should be no entry without facemasks. All worshippers including the worship leaders must wear face masks. There should be no exceptional cases.

“People who are sick or too old should stay at home. There should be temperature screening at every entry point to the Church.

“Ensure adequate ventilation in halls of worship, open windows, and doors for air to circulate in and out freely and if possible avoid the use of air conditioners.

“Hand washing facilities and hand sanitizers should be provided at point of entries and strategic points within the Church premises.

“Attendance should not exceed 1/3 of the sitting capacity of every Church. Churches can make use of their educational facilities and multi purpose halls to avoid overcrowding in the main church auditorium.

“Church auditorium should be clearly marked such that people sit and maintain two metres distance from each other.

“Practices that require sharing of materials should be limited. Those using microphones must sanitise their hands before use.

“Worship places should be disinfected routinely, before and after worship. Ensure separate entry and exit points in every Church to avoid overcrowding at entry and exit points.

“Every church should make use of medical personnel to assist. We should be praying for the end of the pandemic in all our worships and very soon, it will become history in Jesus Name”.
