And so did the Vikings, Romans, French, Brits, Spanish and other numerous conquerors back in stone, wood and metal age.
What I'm yet to understand is how this relates to Boko Haram, etc killing people unnecessarily in this age?!

It's the hypocrisy, he was directing it at people who chose to focus on the religion rather than the group. We have plenty of them here on Nairaland that cannot differentiate between Islam and Islamic terrorists so imagine if Christians were forever damned by the actions of the church in the past.

It depends on the job descirption, does it call specifically for a gender or anyone that is passionate about women and their issues? I mean in the old days we didn't have male nurses, male gymnasts etc but nowadays males are even prospering in those areas. It sounds silly but it's the world we live in now.

I was hoping that you will get to this point. So, what are your thoughts on the aforementioned countries forcing their citizens to take the COVID-19 vaccine? To think that this is happening in this day and time is shocking..

That goes to show that laws can be bent to suit our needs when it comes to it. I suspect you won't let this discussion end naturally . So allow me to bow out gracefully.

It was nice chatting with you.

Yea you don't go there buddy, my uncle recently died from Covid 19 and if there was some kind of vaccine, medication or herbs that could have prevented him dying you better be sure his family would have preferred it over losing him. Yea you're right no point in arguing we won't ever stop , enjoy your weekend!

The beautiful thing about our discuss and exchange of ideas is that there are others out there who may think like us.

I am not in the fast food industry but I know for a fact that there are unnatural ingredients that are deliberately added to facilitate addiction to their products. (almost cited this only to remember that this is social media )

I also took the liberty of combing the internet, and it turns out that in Russia (which is the country in question), a law already exist that restricts the advertisment of Junk food to children. We can understand now why the woman felt confident enough to sue.

Further search revealed that several countries have implemented the ban of junk food adverts to their populace. What's more, World Health Organisation (before the coming of Trump) recommended this as well in one of their reports.

The only constant thing is change and change we must if this world is to be a better place for us all

Yes each country is free to enact laws which suits their populace but the woman in question is an adult and in places like the USA or UK, banning such adverts is considered an infringement on the rights of businesses, on the rights of every citizens to liberty. In the USA, the freedom to pursue happiness is one that is used many times to throw out cases like this one, you're right tho, in Russia perhaps the judiciary is a little more sympathetic to cases like this.

Like I said earlier, it will take time and by then, all the legality, as you have put it, will be ironed out quite smoothly.

Before cigarette adverts were banned outrightly and made unpopular, it went through this phase. The research community argued at the time that lung cancers could be secondary to a number of factors including those you had just listed for obesity. You know how that turned out.

Read up any serious journal on obesity and tell me which one has left out fast foods and beverages as a factor. None. We can't force people to exercise neither can we tweak our genetic makeup (although the jury is still out on that), but we sure as hell can force these large food and beverage chains to take responsibility for the rising prevalence of obesity and make adequate changes to curb this trend

Sorry but that's illogical. You want to know the reason cigarrettes/tobacco products were banned or limited? It's simple, they found one of its ingredients directly related to damaging the lungs but with fast food you simply cannot do this, yes it's contributory but it is not the only cause. Same researchers will admit that beef, bread and veggies are part of a balanced diet, same researchers will admit that with the right portion control you can be healthy without sacrificing what you love to eat. You make excuses for people not dieting and yet won't give them the benefit of doubt for not choosing the right meal for their health?

Okay let me also burst your brain with this, you banned allthe fast food but I can still walk in the store grab a red bull, grab oreos or I can sit at home make stew with plenty of palm oil and assorted meats? Are you going to ban those too? 80% of our local African food contains high amounts of fat and I never see the maga wey go stop me from eating fresh agege bread with ewa agoyin

Funny..but if you think about it, it does make some sense.

Editorials are being sued for editing photos that fosters body image issues among millions.

Tobacco companies are banned from advertising their products for obvious reasons.

Companies that make artificial milk aren't allowed to advertise so that mothers can make safer choices.

In the face of rising obesity, which is currently among the leading cause of deaths worldwide, isn't it time we stopped these fast food chains and beverage companies from advertising their unsafe products?

It may take time but I don't think the idea is far-fetched at all

You're comparing apples with oranges and in legal term you're reaching. When it comes to obesity, unless you can prove that the lady only ate McDonalds all her life, the lawsuit will be dismissed. Same goes for your argument against fast food adverts, unless you can prove that these fast foods are solely responsible, no legal system will take you seriously. In fact, I can name three other things that causes obesity like some prescribed drugs, lack of exercise and genetic conditions.

When una wake up from your slumber, please let me know. Osibanjo kor, Osabande ni.....

I'm tired of you. You're not getting my points. And btw, I got my info from top researchers.

1. People with narcissistic traits who have empathy will change their ways because they can see how it affects their loved ones and it makes them sad. They will eventually seek help from therapists. These people are not narcissists because they can change -- they don't have a personality disorder

2. People with narcissistic traits who have no empathy will never change their ways because they cannot see how it affects their loved ones so it doesn't disturb them. They will never seek help from therapists. These people are narcissists because they will never change -- they have a personality disorder

3. If anyone should notice a potential partner with narcissistic traits:
3.1. If they have empathy, stay away till they change their ways
3.2. If they don't have empathy, stay away forever because they will never change their ways

4. "till this date many top psychologists and researchers can't explain what cause narcissism" -- I don't know where you got this information from. Please do some research. As I said earlier, it stems from dysfunction in the form of abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc. especially in childhood. Please do some research

My guy stop arguing and accept you do not know what you're talking about. Here are some fantastic article that explains it to you in simple form:

What causes Narcissism?

Here's another one from a top researcher I admire very much:

At this point if you still maintain that narcissistic people have zero empathy and they can never change then it is pointless and my time is better spent reading a good book....PEACE!

Please read my comment again. Your interpretation is false. You're not getting my points

"Narcissism" is a personality disorder theoretically defined in the study of psychology. "Wife beater" is not. "Psychopathy" is also a personality disorder. Those terminologies cannot be used loosely. The person needs to be diagnosed by a licensed practitioner.

Narcissists and Psychopaths have no empathy. Anyone who has narcissistic traits but has empathy is not a narcissist because they can change. Narcissists and psychopaths can never change because they have no empathy, which makes it a personality disorder.

Again, regarding your story, learn more about his history. Some families look happy, but behind close doors, they are highly dysfunctional. The narcissist I encountered was the same. He had a lot of empathy growing up but there were subtle signs of narcissism. It seems that his life experiences later on strengthened his narcissistic traits and he lost all empathy.

Narcissists get worse with time. They start developing those narcissistic traits in childhood to varying degrees, then as they transition into adulthood, they either become narcissists or learn to change their ways.[s] If they do become narcissists, they will never because by then, they will have lost all empathy[/s]

Narcissists and Psychopaths have no empathy. Anyone who has narcissistic traits but has empathy is not a narcissist because they can change. Narcissists and psychopaths can never change because they have no empathy, which makes it a personality disorder.

You're still confusing yourself! Personality/mental disorder are known through the way a person behaves, yes they are diagnosed professionally but the traits manifests through actions, a wife beater often blames his wife for any and all things, the mental disorder is there even if many of us Africans discard it as just anger. I already told you don't focus on words/theories alone but real life application. You said someone can exhibit narcissistic traits and not be a narcissists just because they showed some empathy and I call that pure hogwash!

Many people walk around everyday and switch between one personality/mental disorder but are never diagnosed, do not use diagnosis as your main measurement, it is a farce argument. It seems you're confusing low empathy with no empathy, narcissism occurs on a spectrum, people range from low empathy to no empathy, this has been proven by various researchers so I will not bore you with details. I suggest you study the life of Adolf Hitler, especially his childhood. From bi-polar to narcissism to full blown psychopath, till this date many top psychologists and researchers can't explain what cause narcissism and many agree that they can change or control their narcissism with time and therapy but you want to tell me you know more than those top researchers?

Why it falls under corruption is because they use d system or position which they occupy to steal what otherwise they wouldn't have had access to if they didn't occupy that position. That's why it's corruption, misuse or abuse privileges assigned to an office

Exactly!

bukhety:
A psychopath can kill, a narcissist will likely not kill but enjoys tormenting u emotionally. He is envious and wishes worse for his perceived enemy. A bipolar could be good at sometimes bad at other times. But u see narc, they are ever calculative. Looking for opportunities to strike. Worse if them is the covert narc

LMAO....What if I told you they all have the ability to do all the things you mentioned .

I'm sure you've heard of Adolf Hitler, as a child he was very bipolar, he even tried to commit suicide. As he grew up he became more in love with himself and having people adore him(Narcissism), and we all know about the Holocaust and World War(Psychopath) in his adult role. The point is simple, shine your eyes, human beings are capable of anything givien the right set of catalyst. Majority of Nigerians when analyzed by professional psychologists would qualify as having one mental issue or the other, you'll be shocked how easily most of us are on the spectrum/border between sanity and mental degradation.

toyinid78:
Stealing is not corruption. Stealing is a crime punishable in law. Corruption is logically the inability of the institution, or the perversion of the institutions established by law to prevent stealing, or punish it when it happens.

Although they constitute the same sense of an aberration, they are nonetheless mutually exclusive in the sense that one is the act itself, and the other is contingent upon the act. In other words, corruption is a condition a posteori to the a priori act of stealing.

Your definition might fly in Nigeria but in the sane world it would be laughed at. When it comes to public officials, any act of stealing automatically falls under corruption. If you doubt it, can you name one example of stealing that does not qualify as corruption for a public official?

Only someone with a myopic mindset and little understanding of life will reason the way you do. People fall on hard times, people develop deep level depression and other mental abnormalities, speak on what you know and keep shut on matters beyond your comprehension!

bukhety:
This true life experience you just painted is a man frustrated and going through a phase. Give him a well paying job and things will likely change. A narc does not need any frustrating situation. He creates one. Wo! I don't know how to describe it. I pray you never meet one. They are crazy!

But who is truly a narc? Human behavior is complex and what most of us see is only at the superficial level, even the greatest of psychologists cannot pin point the exact cause of narcissism. Can you differentiate between a psychopath and a narc? How about someone that is bipolar and someone that is narcissistic?

(afterthought: we are saying the same thing to an extent but not 100%)

We are not saying the same thing. Not everyone is a narcissist.

Narcissists lack empathy. They can never change because they can never see what they're doing wrong. They can never understand the implications of their actions on others.

Having a few narcissistic traits doesn't make you a narcissist because you have empathy, you can sense how your actions are affecting your loved ones, and you can change them. Narcissists can't. They have no empathy

Narcissism usually results from abuse, neglect, abandonment, etc., so yes, if exposed to such toxic environments, anyone can become a narcissist. Especially if exposed as a child because children are very vulnerable and dependent on their parents.

I have encountered a true narcissist myself. They are not normal human beings. Until you encounter one, you won't understand. You have to get closer to see how abnormal they are. They usually wear a mask to fool you

Love, happy, sad -- those are emotions. Narcissism is a personality disorder

About your example, just because life is going well for someone doesn't mean that everything is going well on the inside. The young man you talked about, try learning more about him. There's a lot more to his story

Also, he must have been wearing a mask. Men like him usually act like angels to get the woman, when they get her commitment, the mask falls off because they no longer have to pretend. They've gotten what they want

Having a few narcissistic traits doesn't make you a narcissist because you have empathy

With all due respect, this is bullshit! You can apply your theory to anyone if that's how you want to play it. Having a few traits of a wife beater, does not make you a wife beater, having a few traits of a psychopath does not make you one and having a few traits of genius does not make you one.

About your example, just because life is going well for someone doesn't mean that everything is going well on the inside. The young man you talked about, try learning more about him. There's a lot more to his story

You proved my point again, his narcissistic traits were dormant for a long time and only became activated through a series of life events. You just said people who exhibit narcissistic traits are not narcissists, sounds like you're contradicting yourself. The guy definitely had a lot of empathy while we were in school, from organizing feeding of the poor to orphanage cleanup and donations. Guy was voted most liked student for 3 years in a row and fought for women's rights as an activist. So according to your definition, he couldn't poissibly be a narcissists right?

FoolishBoy419:
They don't condone threats to anyone right? Very good. Then why did they allow Namdi Kanu's numerous threats to stand? (And only acted after Nigeria's sanction) Why did they allow Trump threats against North Koreans to stand? They only went against him when he started saying things that their ears didn't want. Likew

They did what they had the power to do and the government also did what it has the power to do. Why then are you crying? Twitter claims to value freedom of speech but asking a single question about the Holocaust or talking about American atrocities in the middle east can get you banned. They are just tyrants who run to hide behind human rights when faced with superior tyranny.

Show me the official Twitter account of Nnamdi Kanu and the tweets showing he threatened anyone. Same goes for Trump, anytime Trump had said something remotely close to violence, the tweets were either deleted or his account shadow banned. No system is perfect and you're still missing how Twitter works. People are banned most of the time because their tweet was reported, so rather than being angry at Twitter, ask yourself what could make people so angry about Buhari's tweet? Remove the cobweb from your eyes and perhaps you'll see more clearly.

There's a big difference between people who have some fleas (narcissistic traits) and people who are truly narcissists. People with fleas can grow and change but true narcissists never change. They remain the same. They would do everything to justify their behaviours and blame everyone else but themselves

Narcissists ruin people's lives and mental wellbeing. Not everyone is a narcissist

We are saying the same thing, everyone has narcissistic traits, everyone has the tendencies to grow into true narcissists. I disagree with you saying not everyone is a narcissist, if you have the traits you have the tendencies. Just like we all have the potential to love, to be happy, to be sad, to prosper or become useless but potential does not equate manifestation.

I'll give you a real life example, a guy I know was a very good guy in school, never missed church, did not drink or party. He graduated, got a job, married and was blessed with 3 kids, fast forward 10 years later, man has been unemployed for over 2 years, his wife is constantly lamenting because he turned into a chronic drinker, man no longer goes to church, shouts with the slightest of provocation and monitors his wife like an hawk.

This young man with so much potential and the elast likely to misbehave is now the joke of the town. Was he born a narcissist or did life expose and grew his narcissistic traits?

bepositive11:
Do you have the traits described in OP's post?

Yes we all do to a degree! While the traits that the OP used were in extreme forms, try and picture some of those traits in simpler everyday use. A frustated husband, a depressed wife, a boss on your neck to meet project deadline etc.

FoolishBoy419:
What the guy said is exactly what you are trying to say.

Don't want me on your platform? Fine, get the Bleep out of my country!

It's a clear case of tyranny being replied with tyranny. Besides, threatening terrorists is something that every president and law enforcement officers do, and no tribe or region was mentioned.

I don't think you fully grasp the problem here, imagine every social media platform design one set of rules for normal citizens and another set of rules for celebrities/ government officials etc, how would you feel? There's no case of tyranny here when it comes to Twitter, if you went on twitter and directed hate or violence towards anyone you run the risk of being banned, the more popular you are the more the scrutiny because one word or sentence could start war.

Twitter simply stated their platform does not encourage hate, violence or abuse towards ANYONE! If a celeb/governemnt official feels too big or important to conform to their rules then bye bye to jati jati.......The unfortunate thing here is that your government decided to use you and other Nigerians as Twitter's punishment. In a sane world, this would be the bigger issue but in a zoo like 9ja, we have folks like you and the other sule defending your government's action.....Your last sentence really exposes you, I suggest you don't repeat it among intellectuals or the developed world because Nigeria has yet to officially label IPOBS as terrorists .

is it not the same shameless Nigerian spirit with no self respect, dignity, pride or shame that imports everything and produces nothing, that rejects its own but embraces everything foreign that makes them to keep running to USA,UK, EU whenever they have problems as if they are their fathers. Airlines are banned all the time does that mean you cannot travel? Air peace is banned from the Canada, does that mean you cant travel to the Canada. Nigerian flights are banned from the UAE does that mean a Nigerian cant travel to the UAE? does that mean right to free movement has been violated? Twitter is a platform is it the only playform? it is a different this if it were a news organisation, then you could say Nigeria is stiflling the press but twitter themselves along with facebook are the ones that will tell you they are not a news organisation and are not responsible for what is posted on their platforms..so whats the wahala? You cant eat your cake and have it.

Like I said I am no fan of Buhari but dont disrespect the office of the president of my country, by doing so you disrespect me and every Nigerian!!!


Nigerians should try and engage their brains every now and again!!

You keep repeating the same dumb sh*t! It is not about the act itself but the precedence. Today it is Twitter, tomorrow it is Facebook. If you do not see how this does not align with the core principle of democracy then it is hopeless and you're better off arguing with your keyboard. For f*cks sake, the last line of your comment is utter nonsense and you know it! Twitter would not suspend your president in the first place if the citizens did not report him, they would not even blink an eye at Twitter ban by the govt if Nigerians did not constantly message Jack, the USA and the UN. So for you to sit there and type this sh*t is pure comedy and deserving of serious flogging but I have better things to do, don't bother replying, you're now persona non grata, enough of this tomfoolery.....PEACE!

you clearly dont understand what the scandanavian president what saying, According to American rules, values and etiquette, twitter may deem it fit but it is not for them to tell other countries what is appropriate in other countries.
As an example, using the word Nigger is hate speech in the west, it isnt here in Nigeria. I dont have time to respond to you at length but Autocratic is exactly what Twitter is. You need to removes the shackles of enslavement from your mind and have some dignity. Besides there was an agenda against Trump.

I dont like Buhai but FORK Twitter for deleting the post of the President of my country and they should stay banned for all I care. Who the Bleep do they think they are? Some will say it's their platform they can do what they want, thats true but it's also our country and we can do what we want!!!

LMAO....Another ridiculous writeup, dude stop embarrassing yourself! The sooner you realize Twitter is not your father's property, the earlier you'll stop crying and return to your senses. Don't use our platform to promote hate, violence or abuse......What don't you understand about this? Even Nairaland has its rules and people are banned for going against it, so why having a meltdown over Twitter rules? Let me guess, it's not slavery if it is one of your own right? GTFO!

Every human has Narcissistic traits in one way or the other but if you want to tell me the term "Narcissism" is exaggerated then there is no point arguing with you. Believe me some Narcissists willingly submit themselves for therapy because they discover they aren't wired the same way with rest of humans while most are living in denial. But if you still feel they don't exist, like i said there is no point trying to convince you. It's just like saying Bipolar and ADHD doesn't exist.

BTW I totally agree with you on people having dark sides a.k.a Shadow self. Are you a Jungian?

Read my post carefully, especially this part:

In life everything must be looked at in terms of severity,

Not once did I say Narcissist don't exist, I think you must have quoted the wrong person.

I am not a supporter of Buhari but you need to put your primitive sentiments to one side. Who is twitter to remove the post of a president of a country? do you not understand it is an insult to you as a Nigerian? What exactly did Buhari say that warrants a ban? twitter has appropriated to itself the role of moderator, you cannot ban the president od a country while allowing kanu to continuously use your platform for incendiary hate tweets. When did Twitter become world police of speech? Apparently they had been warned but refued to take down his tweets and as soon as they were banned they then deleted some of his tweets. 1 company is not bigger than a country!!!

I dont support Buhari but fork Twitter!!! respect the sovereign country of Nigeria and our constituted president even if the holder of the office is a jack ass!!! BTW for the record, Nigerian Citizens were not banned from using Twitter, Twitter is banned from operating in Nigeria!!!

Banning a platform does not amount to banning citizens , there are other online platforms for airing their views, neither did the Nigerian Govt say citizens are not allowed the air their views. Educated people must show intellecual capacity and critical thinking not act and talk emotionally based on rumours and sentiment. Digest the bolded part. Are you not criticising the govt here on Nairaland, are you banned from doing that? nonsense! have some self respect as a people and stop turning yourselves into western slaves!!!!

Now to the most ridiculous part of your writeup: "Banning a platform does not amount to banning citizens", it is obvious you're educated but lack critical thinking.

Here's a shocker, majority of humans in this world are narcissists. It is one of the core traits of being human, let no one tell you otherwise! In life everything must be looked at in terms of severity, we all have that dark side but majority of us are fortunate to have anchors that limits that darkness. Behavioral analysis of the human psyche is a controversial yet often misguided journey, what you call narcissistic, another will call assertive or leadership. For example in the business world, the best and most successful business moguls are by definition narcissist, they are obssessed with their craft and often will break your heart if you don't have a thick skin. In relationships, if you are dating a man or married to a man that basically does everything for you then naturally you've given him the power of a narcissist, same goes for guys who can't cook, sleep or think properly without their girlfriend/wife.

It's part of life and it is completely unavoidable, the real question here is this, how does one narcisst maintain a relationship with another narcisst? Think about it, unless you don't have an emotional connection with your partner, how do you resist the urge to have a say in how they dress, eat, mingle etc? Your woman did hair, makeup and you didn't even notice due to hectic work schedule, do you call her a narcissist for having emotional tantrum or getting upset? You are broke and could not fulfill a promise to your wife so you bone face and start a fight just to avoid that promise, are you a narcissist? It's one thing to throw around fancy words and use theories, it's another to actually view things in practical/real life.

exctly, her role in Nigeria is to promote American interests and the interests of American companies. We are not the only country calling for registration or regulation of social media. Uk and other European countries are calling for it, even in America, congress is calling for it.

Yet none of these countries banned their citizens from social media. Yo ucan call for changes and reform without infringing on the rights of your citizens. What don't you people understand about this simple concept?
