Why I Invest Heavily In Gold – Wizkid

Wizkid while speaking to a Pm News reporter has explained how he is trying to secure his future. According to him, he invests in Gold and properties even though people think investing in Gold is vanity, it is a very good business he said.

Where are you investing all the millions you are making now?

I invest heavily in properties and jewellery. I spend more on gold. I have heard some people say they are vanities but I tell you, they are very good investments.

About being arrogant and acting like a terrible person, he said;

Well, everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. And you should also check those who claim I am a terrible person. I am not and my people know that. Whatever any one feels, he should not blame me for it. Everyone cannot like you; same as everyone cannot hate you. I am just being me and also being a good person. Fame has not changed me; it only added some accessories to my collections. People say I am arrogant and it does not bother me because I still show my fans love and they do same in return.

5 Ways to Take It Slow In Your Relationship

The scales of love in a relationship aren’t always balanced. Often, one partner may actually feel more ‘in love’ than the other. It can be OK, unless it continues for a long period of time, according to Jennifer Oikle, Ph.D., relationship psychologist, dating coach, and founder of MySoulmateSolution.com. Dr. Oikle says longlasting relationships require each partner to settle into stable and fairly equitable levels of love. If you find yourself tumbling head over heels in new relationships, here are Dr. Oikle’s tips for keeping emotions in check so that the relationship can grow– on both sides.

1. GO SLOW Do not jump in with your whole heart-get to know the person so you don’t fall in love with the idea of him, but the actual person and what he is offering you (not what you hope or wish he’ll offer you.)

2. LIMIT THE MENTAL SPACE YOU GIVE HIM Avoid thinking about him all of the time, which creates a habit of preoccupation which can lead to obsession- which definitely isn’t based on who he is- but the idea of him, and will make moving on more difficult to do.

3. STAY IN THE MOMENT. DO NOT envision or plan the future in your head, or plug him into your life before you know whether he is worthy of being a big part of your life. Enjoy what’s in front of you and let go of the need to define “what this is” or “where this is going.” Simply enjoy and allow it to unfold without clinging to what you hope will happen.

4. STAY ACTIVE IN YOUR OWN LIFE. Stay active with friends, hobbies, activities that do not involve him. If your world doesn’t revolve around him, but he’s only a piece of your world- then you are solid, stable, and less vulnerable should he leave the picture. If he’s your whole world- you’ll be devastated. Never lose your Sense of Self!

5. DON’T LOSE YOUR SENSE OF SELF WORTH. Never tie your feeling good to how he’s behaving toward you. You are beautiful, talented, and lovable no matter who he is, what he feels, or how he acts- never lose sight of that!
