iyke484real:
Good evening fellow Nairalanders.

Something happened today that has really made me question myself as a man, and I sincerely need honest advice from mature minds here.

Earlier today, my younger one went to the field to play football. After some time, he came back home crying seriously with blood rushing from his head. According to him, he had an altercation with someone much bigger than him, and the person picked up a stick and hit him on the head.

Immediately, I became angry and asked him to take me to the field to identify the person that injured him. Deep down, I was expecting myself to react aggressively because I felt any normal man would naturally defend his younger one and confront the person strongly.

When we got there and I saw the guy, something happened to me. Instead of fighting or causing a serious scene, I just started asking questions about what happened. I couldn’t bring myself to react violently or aggressively the way many people probably would have. I eventually carried my younger one and went back home.

Since then, I have been feeling ashamed and disappointed in myself.

The painful part is that this is not the first time I have noticed this about myself. I always seem to avoid problems, confrontations, or situations that may escalate. Even when I am angry, I still start thinking about consequences, expenses, police issues, public embarrassment, injuries, and other complications that may arise if things get out of hand.

Because of this, I often withdraw instead of standing my ground fully.

Now I am beginning to feel like I am too timid and not confrontational enough as a man should be. Sometimes I feel weak, powerless, and unable to command respect the way other men do. I see some people react boldly in difficult situations while I keep overthinking consequences and avoiding escalation.

Honestly, it is affecting the way I see myself.

Please, I need sincere advice from experienced people here:

- How can someone stop being too timid or fearful?
- How do you become more confident and confrontational when necessary?
- How do you stand your ground as a man without always retreating?
- Is this kind of behavior weakness, or is there another way to look at it?
- What practical things can I start doing to become mentally stronger and more assertive?

I would genuinely appreciate honest advice, especially from men who may have struggled with similar issues before overcoming them.
. You should be proud of yourself and being grateful what you have are what many go to counseling, therapist etc and pay to have, that's a value don't loose it

PoliticsRe: Terrorism: Nnamdi Kanu Confirmed He Ordered Tinubu, Wike To Be Killed – DSS by allenpaul(m): 11:17am On May 08, 2025
chatinent:
If you folks want to prosecute him, you do so.

All these excuses are stale.

Democracy seems to be a government by the rich thieves, for the rich thieves, and of the rich thieves.

You picked him during Buhari and levelled charges against him for what he said against Buhari only...calling Buhari a clone and agitated for a country of theirs because they didn't believe in one Nigeria!

Now Buhari isn't in the picture, you now pick up new charges against Wike and Tinubu as excuses not to prosecute him.

Wait a second! Is Nigeria even livable! Has the FG allowed Nigeria breathe!

By the way...


Didn't Wike also put a ₦50m bounty on the IPOB before Nnamdi responded in kind?


Didn't Tinubu who was APC party chairman then support all these actions against the group?

Has El Rufia and Buhari been picked up for threatening to send South Easterners home in body bags?

So you mean because they are agitators they should be quiet when these people publicly announced they should be kīlled?

Talking about agitations, Tinubu committed the same "crime" as Nnamdi in 1997; he said he never "... believed in one Nigeria." That meant dividing it so each tribe can go its way.

Tinubu was never arrested for his secessionist comment. But here is the same hypocrite arresting someone else reiterating what he longed for!


Partisan politics..



Whether we are in democracy or dictatorship dressed in democracy.....

Prosecute!

They want to use the American propaganda tool in Nigeria which is "Give a dog a bad name (and hang him)."


Bad dogs trying to give another bad dog a bad name!
. All this epistle you wrote are meaningless the question is did he ordered his followers to killed them or not?he not only asked Tinubu &wike to be killed his list were long ,all Igbo govs who didn't support him were to be killed,igbokwe etc I don't like Tinubu & wike but Nnamdi is an idiot too daft to be a leader go and listen to his previous messages.

What if it is called Child Labor, so that children will not know the value of their resources so the criminals from the west can come and mine using terrorism to chase them out?

I will say, every kid should be taught the value of their stones and allowed to mine if they have the strength in the evenings while studying in the mornings.
. Illiteracy & poverty in summary 4 days ago couples in west Virginia's were sent to over 100 years in prison the kid's involved were 16 & 14 here you applauded a 13 years robbed of life .
