Well for old school Nairalanders like me,

Tosyne.2much used to be popular with his numerous 10 tips why.......my best Nairalander till tomorrow.

Ub.unja with his miseducation too, I'm not his fan though.

Then ILeg.end as well, he appears weird to me. Dunno, too fake.

Yuz.edo used to be popular. He's funny. The potato will always potate guy

Naijasinglegirl.... She's been out of circulation lately. She's a fine writer.

Poco.hantas...witty

Lala.sticlala...he used to bring Nollywood to our doorsteps but he seems to be more enchanted by snakes in recent times.

Exp.lorer. For his well researched posts, churning them out back to back I can only say: God bless him.

Some of us cannot be as frequent here as we would've loved to be, work wouldn't permit me in particular. I'm usually very busy. No prize attached to it anyway

This reply is not for you, but to whom it may concern. I do read negative comments about me, but I ignore most because they are just clout chasing without substance.

So, you noticed I appear weird in my behavior? That is true, ma. Einstein appeared weird too. When your IQ is higher, you'll surely act weird.

Look at Stephen Hawking. Look at Einstein bring out his tongue and acting like a kid — isn't that weird and immature for a man of his caliber?

People who appear weird have a gift to make progress in a place others find difficult to break in. WEIRD means

Wonderful,
Exciting,
Interesting,
Real,
Different.

I like how you called me fake. I won't pick offence since I'm strong like Laycon in handling negativity and abuse — it's part of growth.

Kindly give me 10 reasons I'm fake so I can improve. Wise men always want to grow. Am I a fraudster deceiving and scamming people? Kindly tell — with proofs.

When I show something, am I showing something I didn't buy or work for? Kindly tell with proofs.

At times, full drums do make the loudest noise (for a reason), but it's unfortunate people have been deceived that only empty drums do.

Malcolm X would say, "If you want something, you had better make some noise."

In things that matter, Nigerian youths are just silent offline and abusive online as they claim they are introverts and they don't like people that talk. When they notice you're confident, blunt, and honest, they hate you and tag you a talkative, loud, fake, "you talk too much," etc.

Deep down, they are reading books on how to be confident, how to give a speech, and how to be outspoken, but they hate you because you're outspoken. Why hate what you want just because you haven't achieved it yet?

Food for thought: Why hate money or people with it just because you don't have it yet?

Yes, confident, honest, and blunt people always appear intimidating, domineering, or arrogant, but they are humans like you and truly, you secretly wish to be like them, but since you aren't there yet, you end up hating them.

Corruption is only when we are not a part of it, but the moment we are, it becomes smartness.

Why not use this so-called smartness "you introverts" have or the hate you have on people who are progressing in motivating others instead of abusing the ones you tag as noisemakers or fake?

Is motivating people by showing them pictures or videos wrong? I thought you people said seeing is believing? Has seeing finally turned to intimidation and oppression? I thought you guys always say, "Until I see it I-Don't-Belive-It"?

Why has everyone become hypocritical all of a sudden the moment they don't have a rapport with who they want to talk about?

See, I have been in lots of situations where people hated me not because I was bad or fake, but because I was the best or at least, at among the top 3.

I'll list only 3 of them for you and you'll discover the rest yourself when you know me in real life.

1. Six thousand people applied for an abroad scholarship and after exams, I took number 1 position. You think everyone loved me for taking 1st? No, they didn't, they hated me for it.

2. I got to that foreign school and got a distinction in my first year. You think all the smart kids in my university were happy? Yes, the whites and Asians were, but my fellow Nigerian students weren't. You could see it on their faces. Why do we Nigerians love to hate the progress of others?

3. I came to Nairaland empty handed and within 3 years of being on this forum, I turned my stay here to millions of Naira from the comfort of my room and the money accrues while I sleep and the money will keep coming forever.

You think all Nairalanders are happy I came and conquered while lots of them who have been in this forum way before me are still struggling and searching for jobs? You think people will be happy with me? No.

I don't blow trumpets to make people feel bad, but to WAKE them from their slumbers/laziness. Sadly, lazy people hate being told they're lazy — they hate the truth because it hurts.

My advice is: Even if we are not close or I have accidentally or intentionally ignored you in one way or the other, don't be upset and resort to name calling to feel better.

The only time I attack back or call someone "depressed and frustrated" is when I'm already fed up with the person spending all his PRECIOUS time from month to months trolling and attacking me.

My stay on this forum and revealing a lot as I use myself to tell a story shouldn't be a source of frustration to people, but motivation.

See, I have tasted hunger too, but staying focused saved me. I'm not the best in everything, but whatever I focus on, I always end up as the best or at least, top 3. Take that as motivation to be focused in your dreams.

Some people feel I show off or I'm oppressing them, but no, I'm motivating you as I show you the pictures. In fact, I don't even show much — just 5% and they're already crying and calling it insecurity for showing.

The real insecurity/low self-esteem is the man who can't handle seeing others look better, speak better, eat better, etc. They are just jealous at everything — except your smelly póo. #OyaCoverYourNose.

Nigerians don't believe in words — they want to SEE. I don't show or say things when I'm being challenged, but only when I'm moved by myself.

Las las, when person better pass you, you only have 3 options

1. Use the person as a source of motivation to make nimble progress or

2. Hate and abuse the person for being better than you so you can feel better or

3. Ignore the person and mind your business cuz las las, e go better for everybody wey believe and work towards it

If God doesn't want to blow the trumpet fast, at least, blow your clarinet and use the heat or noise it generates to gather attention and sell your product(s). This is a free 101 marketing tip I just those reading this.

Laycon did it in BBNaija as a musician (by blowing his clarinet himself so people will hear him) but other musicians like TrikyTee and Vee were scared.

At the end, Laycon's clarinet made people to search for him on YouTube and 90% or more who did fell in love with his music and his fun/calm (blunt at times) personality and that was how he won. His talent and his stories added to his victory. What is your talent or story? Is it abusing people like Erica?

Based on what Malcolm X said about making noise, I have noticed some people use it on me when they want my attention.

Since I'm too focused on my personal growth — they think I'm a snob, so they try to get my attention at all cost. If only they knew how friendly and playful I am when I'm in the mood to catch cruise.

So, with this, they make a loud noise by abusing and accusing me so I can give them at least some attentions.

When I do reply, they start hurling insults on me thinking dem go use me become popular.

Even if a hater or a critic uses me to become popular, if he or she doesn't have something to sell or a talent to use it for, the fame becomes shame. Has anyone read the book "If You're Not Out Selling, You're Being Outsold, Published in 1997?

Popularity that doesn't fetch money while you sleep is inanity.

After 24 hours, the thread dies and the 5 minutes' fame they got from abusing me dies too. What a waste of their precious time. Truly, some Nigerian youths are lazy.

Finally, all of us go dey alright las las, but I fear for one person, and that is the man or woman who wastes his/her precious time attacking and abusing those making progress while he or she stays stagnant in a 9-5 job from year to year hoping for miracle to happen to get an upgrade.

As I said earlier, las las, all of us go dey alright, but that will be 6 feet under the ground.

Advice to everyone: try to be alright and fulfilled now that you're still alive (even if it requires showing off, screaming, or being hated) not when you're dead. But please, keep your "scream and noise" legit.

If I hadn't screamed long enough and made some real noise, most people who knew me and benefited from my articles, motivations, or books wouldn't have known me or learned those things from me.

There are people who are better than me, but since they refused to scream loud enough, nobody know they exist, or only a few do.

Sadly, most of these people end up as teachers in a school and earn in a month what I earn in a day while I sleep. Isn't this unfair? No, it isn't. Why? Because they have refused to scream and make some real noise as I do — to avoid being hated or abused.

When you're scared of being abused or ridiculed by others and this makes you to become an introvert, it means you're scared of progress and being successful — you love the outcome, but hate the process. Unfortunately, there is no outcome without a process except it's stagnation.

In this Internet money age, you must sell yourself at all cost with any legal strategy you can find.

Some musicians don't know how to sell themselves, so they haven't made it. Don't abuse someone trying to sell himself — encourage him or her or just ignore instead of insult.

"Frustration is not an achievement — depression is." Joe Cléf, 2020.

P.S: Whoever finds the meaning of that quote above by Joe Cléf, gets 20k cash prize.

Final Tip:

Selling yourself is not bragging, but marketing.

Being silent is bragging because you feel too big and too mature to sell yourself.

Though, as you sell yourself, don't sell yourself cheaply.

Thank you all for reading my "weird" rant. #LoveYou&StaySafe.

Clef on!

Lemme try. Frustration is based on temporary circumstances and things happening in the now. Depression is a state that is the culmination of an extended period of negative thoughts and actions.

Frustration is more of a feeling, while depression is a state.

When you get to a state; like the state of being happy, you can term that as an achievement.

What do you think?

"Frustration is not an achievement — depression is." Joe Cléf, 2020...

iLegendd:
Hmm. Those explanations are hmm — the true meaning is deeper than that.

iLegendd:
Hahaha. Let me act like Broda Shaggi with my reply. Oyibo say what? A depression of a cosmopolitan agenda is a government privacy of frustration. Thaynk you.

iLegendd:
If I put that epistle inside a book and add 20 more pages, I'll sell it for 5k per copy and there are millions of people ready to buy it. So, my post is not an epistle, but money. Because I give it for free, you won't know the value yet.

About the guy calling me low budget, thank you for stopping by. You've been calling me that name hoping to get a reply from me so you can be excited, but no, I'll ignore you. Though, thank you for always coming around to increase the view of my post.

When your haters are addicted to you, it means you have something they so much crave, but can't attain, else they would've given up. #FACT.

Misery loves company.
