TIPS ON HOW TO SUSTAIN A CONVERSATION.

   Conversation is a type of communication that involves two or more people. We communicate to share ideas, beliefs and opinion from our own point of view. 
   Some good importance of communication are: It informs, entertains, and educates.

Some people blame others for being so poor in conversation:

GIRL#1:Oh my God that guy was so boring. I was just yawning; 
couldn't he see I was tired? Some boys no just dey try at all.
 Guys can you see that look on her face?
 While some people praise others for being so good in conversation.

BOY#1: Mehn that girl was just too good, chai I had the best conversation ever. 
One of these days you'd get to meet her.

   There is no magic there; today you will be learning on HOW TO SUSTAIN A CONVERSATION.
    Have you realize that when we meet people for the first time, there is this huge firewall they carry around themselves like they are some big computer. They act mean and sometimes unpleasant.  For us to have a good conversation with them, we have to hack the software.

TIP 1: Compliment!!!
   
Tell him or her how beautiful they look, it makes them feel comfortable and loosen up. Ladies love been complemented especially after spending countless hours in the saloon. Everyone loves it  when something sweet is said about them.
   When you meet someone for the first time, take a real look at the person from head to toe. Pick something out and tell the person how much it looks great.
"Oh my God your shoes are on point, where did you get it from? I think usher used it in his video or so". 
That way you just won a ticket to CON-FUN-SATION.

TIP 2: Introduction!!!
Introduce yourself boldly.
Some of us do this:

BOY#1: So what’s your name?
GIRL#1:Why do you want to know my name?

Oops that hurt really badly. Instead you do it this way.

BOY#1: I'm Femi Olamide
GIRL#1: I'm Jessica Okereke.

Oh yea, like magic. When you tell people your name first they automatically respond with theirs. Let’s say its magic.

TIP 3: Gestures!!!
   
Some of us are really stiff physically when we are having conversation. This will make the person you talking to rigid towards you. 

Let’s say that pulls the pin of the CONVO-NADE.

BOY#1:I ate a real mountain of eba (hands drawing an imaginary oval shape in the air)
GIRL#1:For real!!! I eat five good wraps of eba at a go and I became pregnant immediately.

N/B: Secret to have good gestures is being friend with your Figures of speech in Literature. It helps you to be really dramatic which is fun.

TIP 4: Speak with authority!!!
   
Choose your words rightly; look straight at the person face this shows you know what you are saying. When you are talking to older people avoid words like “Shit, Damn, (inaudible) fuck” Oops can't say that. Remember you want to make a good impression so the CON-VER-SATIO-NEE would come back for more or probably get a phone number.
 

Also ask them questions like:
What is your favorite colour, movie, music, fashion sense?
This gives you a broader insight on who they really are. As they tell you theirs, tell them yours in return... not all people are good in asking questions especially ladies and that may result to an ocean of silence in the CONVERSATION
(boys am I right?).

Tip 5: Knowledge!!!
   
Knowledge is power. You have to know tiny miny things of everything. From sports to movie to music to fashion to science to art. No knowledge is a waste. This makes the conversation smooth, interesting and never forgettable.

   Now you've known these tips on HOW TO SUSTAIN A CONVERSATION meet someone today don’t be shy or nervous remember they are looking up to have a real good time, you could do them the favor by being bold.
