VTJN: he's far better than you and millions of Nigerians living in abject poverty with multiple children. He's doing the right thing not to bring a child into this miserable world.
He was born poor, he will not follow his forefathers route. He is educated. He must make amends legally. It's not a crime having a child at 50 provided the child has good foundation that most poor kids lack. You're looking for people to recruit into poverty
The present reality calls for a rethink and shift from the ways our accestors has been procreating.
ikeno: There's these lady that has 5 kids she and her husband can hardly feed the children even 3 of them are not going to school. I saw her recently with pregnancy. It's just so annoying bringing children to the world to suffer
Hopium: By 2030, WHO will declare global cancer emergency . Same with kidney and liver diseases. The smart ones have started investing in dialysis and cancer treatment centers.
If you love yourself, start learning about healthy eating; learn how your body works; why there's high rise of cancer, diabetes, kidney, heart, liver failure among 40s and above.
One thing is sure, the media has been rigged to ensure you are misinformed. Your ignorance is a cashcow to the pharmaceutical and GMO industry.
Since the start of the industrial revolution, our food quality went downhill. There are people who eat nothing but processed food 365 days a year. Obesity is now a pandemic. We have people eating processed, poisonous floor and sugar in the name of junks. Ignorant folks gulping soda drinks on the daily (fun fact: your soda drinks contain 50% glucose and 50% fructose. Fructose unlike glucose can't be utilized by any part of your body except your liver. Do you see the problem? You probably don't ).
Lab grown chicken, lab grown meat, lab grown fish and ponmo coming soon. They will make the media tell you these are perfect and good alternative to organic meat to reverse global warming. CANCER!
You will spend money on GMO foods and still spend a ton on cancer treatment. You are getting f*cked two times and will make the cabals rich in the process. Wealth transfer from the fo*lish majority to the smart, dubious few.
Abeg update us with your recent physique photo abeg. Abi you don fall back to swallowing of eba and milkshake?
Boss 😅
still in the game o, e no easy sha to stay disciplined and follow through the low carb diet some month, with the way cost of food is skyrocketing almost everyday
If I fall off too much especially when babe comes weekend 😷, intermittent fasting to the rescue or "one meal a day" for two to three days to get back to the 20-15% body fat I have been maintaining since the last photo I shared
I guess the pix below looks like 15% ish? It was taken 15th June
pansophist: If Brics establishes something comparable to the dollar, then the global South will one by one, migrate. Especially if the currency is not computer generated like the USD.
The USD is the largest scam ever. If you use the USD for anything, you're being robbed literally. I'll explain a bit.
In 1971, the then US President (Reagan) ended what is known as the gold standard. before then, you can take your USD and exchange it to gold.
It was President Richard Nixon who took the dollar off the gold standard
Biologically, successful men just want RESPECT & PEACE
Its not about control or insecurity, its about being with who has genuine interest, and I'd argue for the relationship to work long term in this age of social media the woman has to be emotionally invested more than the man.
With the present economic situation, I'd honestly prefer a lady who earns same or close to what I earn aswell, [i]two deep pockets is better than one[i/] but I won't trade that for RESPECT & PEACE OF MIND.
Why will I want to be with another woman, when I can get a young lady who i have vetted, she's wise & intelligent, coachable, who can cook and have handwork.
ravensckar: That's exactly where you missed it! I wasn't waiting to get married to get ahold of my life. I was just not serious then and it turned out that marriage gave me a change of perspective. For some people, it could he counselling that would give them that change of perspective. For others, it could be a near-death experience. But the point is that the day a man experiences a change of perspective, that's the day he will achieve breakthrough.
Secondly, my response was aimed at correcting the OP's false impression that marriage is only about paying bills. It's a wrong assertion and I believe I've used my personal experience to enlighten him. Even at that, some marriages are structured in a way that both couples share the bills. So, what's the hullaballoo about?
Finally, for every single one of those young successful people that you mentioned. I could list several others who achieved their own success after initially wasting away their youthful days. To each his own success story and mindset. Besides, there's a saying back then in Ajegunle where I come from that; 'Na the time when person wake up him own morning start'. Elon Musk can achieve whatever the f*ck he achieved in his youthful days. So?
Don't take it personally married man
Chill
Elon Musk is a motivation to billions of people and employes thousands of people, even people for Nigeria here dey use him StarLink to get fast Internet, so his waking up early is useful Globally and people can learn from it.
using the F-word is childish married man
I also quoted you to correct your use of personal experience of "bachelorhood irresponsibility" to advise persin weh dey complain about bills.
Marriage is not supposed to be a rehabilitation institution for irresponsible hot heads, likewise marriage is not all about paying bills.
ravensckar: Mr. Man, take it easy with the hasty generalization. Your own marriage may be about paying bills but mine isn't all about that. As a matter of fact, when I was a bachelor, I was wretched and lacked focus in life. I was living in one room apartment and was always thinking of having se.x with random ladies. One Naira I don't have as savings talk less of achieving anything tangible in life. Then, I got married and my perspective changed. I became focused on my job and life. Within 5 years, I don build house, buy car born two pikin and started enjoying life. In summary, marriage brought me that change of perspective and today I'm happy.
Yes, you'll pay bills in marriage. Lots of them actually. But if you accept that responsibility and man up, it will make you better focused. You that have bills to pay will never engage in frivolities or financial rascality. Secondly, whatever it is that you do as a daily job, it will help you to become up & doing since you now know that lots of responsibilities rest on your shoulder.
Just speaking from my own perspective though. Marriage has been a blessing to me. It woke me up from my slumber and made me implement that radical change that was needed to turn my life around for good. I pray to God that it should continue that way. I ddon't want to go back to being useless biko.
See ehn! Irresponsibility and lack of self discipline should not be glorified or used as example.
A similar logic people use to encourage young struggling work in progress guys to marry, that children will bring blessings.
Going by your life example, Oscar Onyeama should have waited till he got married in his early 50s before he gets a hold of his life and build a career that lead to becoming CEO of Nigeria Stock Exchange
The pay Stack guys should have waited after marriage before being ambitious 😕🫤
Hope is not a strategy, what if after u got married and became worse?
Elon musk should have waited after marrying Justine before sense of responsibility and passion to make a positive dent in the world miraculously dawn on him?🙄
pansophist: Our parents generations generally speaking as a collectives, are failures big time. Look at the political atmospheres, that should tell you all what you need to know.
My drive & focus.. is to be the guardian a child (yes just one, in a nuclear family setting) who will not recent me either silently or openly.
NEVER!
I sure won't pamper or give soft training, but teach him/her the basic things to be self sufficient early; morals, spiritual fitness, healthy lifestyle, critical thinking, human nature, financial education...
I wonder if our religious Parents don't ever read the part in the Bible that says "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children"
But they are quick to use the scripture & emotional blackmail to demand respect and financial assistance by force from their first born especially
I used to see movies where men abandoned their nuclear family, now I understand...
Our African parents were so short sighted and overly religious in their youthful days that they didn't plan for the future and worse case scenarios, maybe it was the quality of education they had then, or what??
A recipe for generational poverty spread if the kids don't step up and be more critical thinking also be prayerful not to walk the path of our parents
I wonder how the US economy will fair when BRICS finally roll out their gold-backed currency and the Dollar is nolonger the only world reserve currency.
When you are in your mid 20s 23,24,25,26,27 is the best time to position yourself for a man who is financially stable to make his approach or take a gamble with that guy who has huge potential and still a work in progress, for a long term relationship
Ladies you have to be the one indirectly pushing for him to take it to the next level, by being his peace and look at his lifestyle and critically think of the areas you can make life easy for him, and most importantly don't be a hoe.
See as this hanty fine (if that's her pix for real) but she swallow her pride post her need for a man for serious relationship, human nature can't be overriden with wokeness or liberal ideology
So hanty forget about that God fearing, tongue talking man you wrote, you want to tell me you've not been going to church since you were 20?
and you've not meet brothers in Church since you've been attending in your 20s who are godly and tongue talking and no one of them meet your spec for you to come online?
For those still on this journey religiously to gain muscle and lose fat, Una well done o
Three gbosa for oga panso generously creating this thread, I don learn plenty things from doing my own personal research into not just losing fat, got insight on eating for energy and longevity by eating to keep the gut microbiome ecosystem happy.
Oscar Onyeama whose Dad na even Igwe Married in his early 50s as Gerrard59 pointed out, I admire Oscar, his profile and achievement are breath taking, something i might not achieve, but it motivates me.
In this kind of situation persin no suppose reason to rush enter any commited relationship.
Just plan your life around worse case scenarios, hope for the best but be prepared for the worst
Most times the anger comes from being the first born and one has "half dozen minus one" number of siblings one is responsible for, to pay school fees, rent, upkeep allowance and other emergencies...
pansophist: In every area of society, your past matters, but somehow, women wants to change the game
If a man's future matters to a woman, then a woman's past matters to a man. ladies, I have one question for you.
So you met Mr perfect, as in, an antichrist with 666 under his belt (six packs, six feet tall, six figure salary).
Men are in competition with a woman's past, hear it from a man, and not from all those Instagram rubbish you guys listen to about relationship. To men, your past is like a dagger under his belly, and the dirtier it is, the sharper it feels.
pansophist: If it's only belly fat you want to loose, then you'll have to pay for surgery, so they tear up your stomach and exhume the belly fat.
If you don't like that option, then loosing weight generally wil cause the stomach fat to dissappear. I repeat, there is no such thing as spot reduction.
About the exercise, it's meaningless. Exercise are for health benefits, not to loose weight. If you like, run from Lagos to Abuja everyday, if you don't eat good, you won't loose any thing.
For example, if you run for an hour non stop, you should burn about 1000 caloris, but since you'll be very hungry and load up on food afterwards, then what you burnt becomes meaningless.
A single pizza might take two hours of running to burn off, so thinking exercise will make you loose fat is a lie, something companies like coke sells to you, so you continue loading your body will sugar and thinking exercise is the answer instead of food.
To loose the belly fat you're talking about can be hard to do, but the formula is very simple. The question is, can you do it? I'll assume you can. Now try the diet below for just two weeks.
Eat only foods from animals, and water. So meat, fish, pork, turkey, chicken, egg, assorted meat, suya etc. Just for two weeks. Don't do exercise, just food. You'll see that those stomach will dissappear.
