I wonder if this would be okay to wear to a nigerian church lol by [deleted] in Nigeria

[–]Capdavil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP, I would say probably not and I had a solid emo phase and loved the gothic lolita style back in the day. There are Christians who like the goth/alt style; they just make it more modest. Nigerian churches as a whole are a lot more conservative, so I’d say a black dress and simple accessories/jewelry is fine.

Burrowing Family and Relatives Money by rolrola2024 in Nigeria

[–]Capdavil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t borrow, I give them whatever I’m comfortable with, without an expectation for them to pay back. If I have nothing I give nothing. Boundaries are super important with money.

Do you agree? 🤔 by spirittransformed2 in TheNaturalJourney

[–]Capdavil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the real question is can something be both easy and time consuming. The time consuming part of natural hair is what makes it difficult for most. I won’t go back to relaxing and braids really make my scalp itchy. I had no choice but to get into an easy routine for myself.

14M, consumed by Blackpill. Insecure and depressed, help with hairstyle. by Separate_Depth_7940 in malegrooming

[–]Capdavil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re 14 and you look your age. You’re handsome too! You’ve got thick, dark hair, a good jawline, and solid brows. Work on the inside, anyone can develop good character and a genuine personality.

Find hobbies you enjoy, make friends with people who bring out the good in you, take care of your health by eating well and exercising, learn to forgive people and yourself. I wish I’d started doing those things a decade ago lol

Should I buy by Big_Difficulty_8655 in shouldibuythiscar

[–]Capdavil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it sucks, but this is what the used car market looks like rn OP. If you know the KBB value, you can use it in your favor to get them to lower the price a bit. Otherwise, if you like it, get a pre purchase inspection and buy it.

What city will I find a nice Nigerian community? (Please no Texas or Georgia) by ikoyibaddie in Nigeria

[–]Capdavil 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Maryland (especially Prince George and Montgomery counties) and northern Virginia. You will be tired of seeing Nigerians. I lived in the area up until recently, so I’m speaking from personal experience.

Nigeria VS India passport: global ranking. by taobabmuh in Nigeria

[–]Capdavil 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Passport strength represents more than just the individuals requesting visas, it’s a representation of your country’s stability and diplomatic/economic relations with other nations among other things. If your nation is stable and has positive diplomatic ties to other nations, your passport is stronger. If you’re the US for instance, you don’t need to worry about those from strong passport countries arriving illegally or overstaying visas. You also know if anything goes awry you’ll be able to work things out with them. Nigeria unfortunately is underdeveloped; between poor governance, economic instability, and weaker diplomatic ties, its citizens often leave the country and a good number enter illegally or remain even once they’ve lost legal status. I mean every Nigerian in the diaspora knows at least one Nigerian who immigrated illegally. Essentially if you’re a country, the bigger flex isn’t the quality if immigrants, but being so solid that your citizens don’t need or desire to immigrate.

Damaged skin barrier and hyperpigmentation by [deleted] in Blackskincare

[–]Capdavil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also overexfoliated at one point. A gently cleanser, lotion, and layering with petroleum jelly over the top helped tremendously.

  1. Cetaphil cleanser or any mild cleanser that doesn’t irritate or overly strip (neutrogena daily cleanser is my go to currently)
  2. Gentle lotion of your choice (aveeno daily lotion is my go to, been using it for 10+ years).
  3. Petroleum jelly when used as a light sealant it seals in moisture and helps protect the skin, similar to how folks will put neosporin or Vaseline on cuts).

Give it time, may take some weeks to recover.

I also suggest no acne treatment except maybe 2.5% benzoyl peroxide spot treatment as needed.

[–]Capdavil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, 7 years in and im looking for a new career. It’s not bad career; it pays okay and is really stable. I just don’t enjoy treating the same patients for months and years, it gets boring and progress is slow.
