-
Veteran Nollywood actress, Rita Dominic, has responded to an X user, who shamed her over a movie role considered beneath her status in the film industry.
Naija News reports that the X user while reacting to Rita’s feature in the Lekki Wives reality show, claimed that there are specific projects that the thespian should outgrow.

The post read, “There are certain projects your brand should outgrow, because why is Rita Dominic in lekki wives or whatever it is called! Common.”

In response, Rita Dominic noted that only people without artistic integrity speak in such a manner and urged her colleagues never to listen to them.


According to the movie star, Nollywood stars should not limit themselves and always embrace any platform where they can release their creative energy.

She wrote, “Dear Actors, only people who have no single drop of artistic integrity speak like this. If you listen to them you will soon begin to believe you are more important than the industry that birth you. You are an ACTOR so make sure to find a way or platform to release the creative energy in you. Continue to hone your skills regardless of empty comments like this cos knowledge is never ending – yours truly, Rita.”

Recognizing and Overcoming Persistent Guilt: Key Signs and Solutions

Image
You might not even realize that what you're feeling is guilt. It could just be an indistinct sense of unease. To help clarify, let's explore some key signs that might indicate you're feeling guilty all the time and discuss what to do about them. 1. Always Trying to Please Others Helping others is great, but if you're constantly seeking approval from others, it's worth asking why.  For example, consider Bridget, who always volunteers to help her colleagues with their work, even when she's overwhelmed with her own tasks. She often finds herself staying late at the office to ensure everyone else is satisfied, sacrificing her own time and well-being. This behavior often stems from low self-esteem and a need for external validation, indicating that you don't trust or value your own judgment. Focus on building your self-worth, loving yourself, and understanding that the only approval you truly need is your own. 2. Frequently Agreeing with Others Even ...

What Is Merchandise Mix?

-
Image
Merchandise mix is the total set of all products offered for sale by a retailer, including all product lines sold to all consumer groups.  The retail industry covers everything from large supercenters (Big box stores) to small vendors pedaling goods along the roadside.  The biggest dilemma a retail store owner faces, is what to sell, or what their merchandise mix should consist of. If retailers stock too much of a variety of merchandise, they risk appearing like a jack-of-all-trades, potentially losing money in the long run.  If they stock a small merchandise mix (few items) they run the risk of losing business, especially to local brick-and- mortar stores and online competitors. For retailers, deciding on their marketing mix is similar to deciding on their market segments. Retailers need to decide who they are selling to and the needs of their market segment.   Selecting and presenting the right merchandise is critical as product is the focal point of cu...

Eventually, my perseverance paid off. She made a purchase, and our interaction turned into a positive experienc...

Understanding customer behavior is a crucial skill in sales. Not every customer who walks into a store or inquires about a product is ready to buy. However, there are telltale signs that reveal when a potential buyer is serious. Knowing these signs can help you focus your efforts, close deals faster, and improve customer satisfaction. Here’s how to identify a customer who truly wants to buy: 1. Clear and Specific Inquiries A customer who asks detailed questions about a product or service is often a strong prospect. They inquire about features, pricing, availability, and delivery timelines.

The more confident your answers, the closer they move toward making a decision. 2. Repeated Engagement When a customer keeps coming back—whether it's to the store, website, or even through follow-up messages—...
