Like I said if it was wrong, Speedy can counter with evidence or even sue him.

Tell me when he does that...
Until then learn that the world works different from social media.

The present Nigeria is filled with lawless people. A lot of you are comfortable saying rubbbish against government online, but will never go out to make a peaceful protest because you're cowards. If you rush to say nonsense, police can call you for questioning and if you fail to show up in 48 hours, arrest should be made and from there, court. Once there's obvious proof of defamation via your post or video, police should be involved.
With the Government there's a clear law that says not to overtly criticise them i think which gave rise to the Hate Speech law.. but your point is valid though

For people like you that have zero reputation to protect.

Incase you don't know, a false accusation can cause your potential clients to pull out of a deal because they don't want their investment to look shady.

Do you think any business person, especially a foreigner, will continue any business they were discussing with you if it went viral on social media that you deal in drugs or killed someone for example?

Do you know if Burna Boy was discussing endorsement deal with a brand? How do you think the brand will have someone with those disgusting pics all over the internet as their ambassador?

I dom't like Burna one bit, but his action is justified 100%. The arrest may even be just to clear the air (if it were true, Speedy would have countered the arrest with evidence like VDM vs Bobrisky).


Think outside of your low lifestyle
The business world is different
I get your point. We all do... but don't you think you kinda evaded the bone of contention here?

Let me be clear in case you missed my point.
Is the Nigerian Police Force meant to arrest him? When is the right time for the NPF to go in during such cases?

I await your response, Mr i-have-a-reputation-to-protect grin

Someone in LIB's comment section said this and it struck a cord...

"... Abusing and insulting someone online is not a reason for arrest. Sue them to court. Sue them for defamation. Secure a desist letter which is signed by a court that will warrant an arrest if the insult continues. That is what you do. You don't go arresting any and everyone who insults you. E get why Nigeria is backwards and judging from all the comments on here...it is clear why"
I really do think this is a case of power abuse. I'm not even interested in what Speedy did... i'm only interested in the way Burna went about it.

So, if person insult me, I go run go report am to Eke and eke even come pick am up. LOL
What a joke!
Nigeria just has everything backwards... and the NPF should be ashamed of themselves

Actor BabaRex has knocked Nigerians who are making singer Speed Darlington look like the victim in his clash with Burna Boy. Recall that the singer was arrested last Friday in Lagos and whisked to Abuja over a petition filed against him by his colleague, BurnaBoy.

Although the content of the petition is yet unknown, it is believed to be as a results of the several videos of Speed Darling published online speaking against Burna Boy. In September, Speed Darlington shared a video in which he questioned Burna Boy's sexu@lity following his closeness to embattled US singer Diddy.

Many Nigerians condemned Burna Boy for using the police to arrest and detain Speed Darlington. So went as far as tagging Burna Boy an oppressor.

In a post shared on his IG page, Babarex asked if it was okay for Speed Darlington to insult Burnaboy without him taking any action. Read his post below

I am good at marketing ( b2b) but not a complete novice in advertising on the online space. I have a cap of about 2million
Oh okay. So I could suggest over 20 products that are completely fire and guaranteed to give you a good ROI.

We have 1 rule in advertising esp online -- run a test ad first b4 you stock up on inventory.

Here r my top 5 picks...

If I had 2meter to put into any product for direct response sales I'll go for (in no particular order

1. ✅Portal Solar Power Generators
2. ✅Kids Educational Tablets
3. ✅Sexual health
4. ✅Small sized home electrical appliances (such as 20 - 30w Blenders, Solar powered table top fans, Food processor and slicer dicers)

5. ✅Beauty & weightloss products (slimming teas, fat burners, massagers and antispot, anti-wrinkles, anti-ageing products)

6. ✅ Supplements (weight gain)
7. ✅Human hair
8. ✅Phone accessories and music boom boxes
9. Kids early education writing and reading gadgets.

10. And so on .. not forgetting security cameras especially Solar powered ones and Light Bulb Hidden Cams (the northern part of Nigeria go crazy for it... I don't know why)

I'm open to work. My help could come into -- setting up your webpage optimised for mobile devices and PC, landing page setup, email marketing & Facebook/Meta advert account.

Nationwide delivery network of logistics company... and a follow-up script for customer retention and business continuity.... Which means we'll channel the sales funnel to a social media account to reduce the recurring expenses on advertising.

I'm open to work for a small token if you're open.


I currently have years of sales experience in the Fitness niche, Sexual niche, Electronics and gadgets niche and Educational gadgets.

I know a few local importers we can source from in Ikeja Computer Village, Idumota Ebute Ero market and Alaba International...

Even down to Onitsha Bridge Head Drug Market. So there you go...

njelrapheal:
How far. Today is Tuesday no post for Monday?
Yes bro.
I got lost with other offline activities.
I've actually lost count of days...

I think this should be Day 13 or so.
It's me against myself for now.
I have no one to help me fight this battle.

It's more like a personal vendetta now!
Sometimes, I feel like I need someone to hold my hand..

But then I realised no one is coming to save me so I gotta be strong for myself.

In moments like this I keep reminding myself of the reasons I began this journey in the first place.

When I walk past my dealer 2 days ago he said, "bros, e done teey o"

I replied, "yes e done teey"
"How work?"

I don't stand and wait for him to reply... I keep moving because I know he has my Kryptonite hidden somewhere deep inside his dirty ol' sling bag.

It's so easy to give in.

I sometimes try to trick my mind into the feeling I get when I'm high asf by pretending to roll up some invisible weed. I imitate the hand-rolling gestures and I pretend to lick up the edges lined up with a thin gum.

Then I lift my pointing & index index fingers towards my mouth like you would if a blunt was stuck in-between.

With my imaginary blunt now balanced in-between my lips, I lift both my hands upwards while bending forward to meet my hands halfway....

...slightly twisting my head the left I pretend to light my spark with my right hand, with my left palm curved into a cup to block out the wind from blowing out the fire from the spark.


I inhale deeply to drag in the heat from the spark and get the blunt burning.

With my smoke now lit up... I lean back into my reclining chair and let my head drop back and hold in the air for a few seconds before I let it out and blow out the invisible smoke upwards towards the ceiling 💨💨

I take another deep drag of my imaginary blunt and hold it in for a few seconds longer giving my lungs a test... B4 I let it out again.

I mimic this for a few seconds before I swirl around in circles on my office chair letting the THC take over me...

With Chris Brown's Angel Numbers / 10 Toes playing softly in the background stereo serenading my soul... I trick my mind for a few more minutes b4 I snap myself back to reality.


I really love the hook where he said... Anxiety.. Don't let the pressure get to you

I mean, I've got grown man bills and I don't let the anxiety get the best of me.

I remind myself its a good thing to be alive!

I'm up & grateful this morning.. plus I'm walking 10 tens toes like Breezy said.

I hit the gym this morning and transferred all the anger to the barbell. I did 30 reps of 150KG
on the first set and didn't even feel a thing.

Today we again 🙏
Tomorrow we go again .
Next week we'll keep moving nonstop!

Yeah I know.

I authored 2 books in my late 20s titled How To Give Any Woman An Earth Shattering Orgasm plus Tongues of Fire (a guide to MouthAction for men)

I published another titled, 30 Days Of Amazing Sex for Couples but didn't launch that as I got bored.


It was self-published and Linda Ikeji promoted it back then.

If I'm not mistakened... I did a little above ₦3.5mil in total sales using written words alone.. so yeah. I guess I'm good at that.

I sha need to double down on that which is why I'm sharpening my skills here doing conversational writing.. which has a different tone as against sales copywriting.

I gave those out for free for signups.

Start attending 6:30 am mass and you go catch fine babes
You're a bad boy cheesy

But isn't that too much hassle? I mean, it's not fun waking up by 5.00am for anything

I'm of the opinion that people who wake up too early are either psychopaths or have borderline personalities because why?

...well, except I have a flight to catch or a booty to pound then I fall back to sleep afterwards... plus I sleep late so ...

I miss those early morning blows.. they're so sensual you know?

You go just wake up later in the morning dey smile for nothing. Lol

I should make a post on that.

For example, it's 1.30am and I'm just done with reading for my exams and checking NL cos that's the only time I have to journal.

I go try sha.. e get this babe wey dey choir. She cute like mammi water. I fit use because of am join choir. Me wey no sabi sing shit lol grin
RomanceRe: Tall Pretty Hajia Approached Me In Church [pics Attached] by CandyOps(op): 7:37pm On Oct 07, 2024
So yesterday 6th October 2024 was a Sunday... And I attended the 9.30am mass in my area.

I missed the 8.30 service cos I spent 3 hours in the kitchen whippin' up some good chicken curry ati carrot tomato 🍅 stew.

By the time I was done I didn't have appetite for the food atm but I dished out some for my guy who slept over at mine...

...then I made some noodles with the left over stew from the day before with some scrambled eggs to go 🤤


Before you know am... I done baff, dress up and headed straight for church.


My prayer points was simple- that God should give me a new fresh babe smiley


And funny thing is he/she/they (God) always answers that without breaking a sweat cos I'll be in church and babes will be flocking my way left, right and centre... like a magnet attracts iron.

It's almost like a magic spell.

So, yesterday I arrived a few minutes late during the entrance hymn and I moved upstairs to my favourite spot .

One babe was already sitting close to my spot and I asked to join her.

I couldn't look at her directly to confirm if she was pretty or not as we sat side by side. And i couldn't make small talk with her as it was a church service... so I had to play it cool

B4 then, I withdraw like 10k wey I use enter market buy foodstuffs wey I cook that morning before I enter church and the POS attendant gave me 20 crispy notes of ₦500s..

I still had like 3k from the bar.. and I came to church with it.

So as I no fit follow the girl talk inside church I just know say na indirect communication I gats use.

Here's what I did...

During the service I was exhausted from standing for so long in the kitchen so I made up my mind I wasn't going to stand up for anything using the mass.

As you all know, Catholic services involves a lot of sitting, kneeling & standing at intervals..

Time for offering, First collection...

I put hand inside pocket, pull out 1 minty 500naira note. I asked the girl to help me drop it in the offering box which she did.


2nd collection...
I still dip hand inside my front pocket, slid out another crispy 500 isi Zik (Zik's head) and Gabe her asking her to help me drop at the offering box.

You know Catholic churches don't pass around the offering boxes in-between the pews as Pentecostals do. You literally have to stand up join the queue and drop your offering at the front of the aisle

Then .. after the communion, it was time for a project Sunday collection (or something like that. I didn't really pay attention) I did the same thing -- but this time I asked her if she had any offering on her?

She replied in negation and I pull out another isi Zik and handed it to her... but I decided to join they queue this time so it doesn't look weird.


Lol .. by now she go done dey think say CandyOps dey loaded with mints grin

Meanwhile na part of my last card lol cheesy

Service was about to end now...

I think the general announcements were being said and the church was less formal so I began to make small talks.

I found out she was a smallie that just got out of high school and about to gain admission into nursing school. It was a coincidence as I also applied for nursing school but in a different state.

So they connection was made.

I passed her my phone to out in her number saying, "You seem like an interesting person. Let me have your number I'd like to talk to you later"


She replied, "I don't like giving out my number to strangers"

I said, "it's okay. I understand "

MASS IS OVER and I done zero my mind say this one no go work. ..

My eyes was literally scanning the whole church arena to see if I'll find any other babe wey go catch my eye but I noticed this chick was waiting for me.

In my mind, I was like, "aunty be going naa... You no wan drop number yet you still want block me from meeting my prayer point"

I had to form gentleman and walked with her downstairs and out of the church.

As I no carry mob come we gats board Keke inside the Keke Maruwa she asked for my number and I gave it to her but na scam.

because most times whenever a babe says no to giving you her number but asks for yours and you give her, she'll never call.

It was annoying low key.... I mean, you aren't open yet you dey cock block me.

I accepted my fate. If the bush meat escapes today, tomorrow we hunt again.


The only good thing about the whole thing be say I told her I'll pay forget fare as she dropped b4 me then the 3rd passenger in the bus started feeling Candy and I noticed so I asked her for her number also and she gave it to me.


I'm yet to call her because today na Monday and you all know how hectic Mondays can be.

I pray say I go find better babe but then this Church thing no dey too work because up till now me and that former Hajia babe never even meet. So the hunt continues.


I may just have to use IG

The urge to roll up a big joint and have mindless sex took a hold of me this night...

I did a quick mental scan of all my current babes and briefly considered visiting an adult video website but I didn't let the thought stay with me for long as I brushed it off almost the moment it came in.


You see... I've been consciously guarding my thoughts and have also been intentional with my micro-thoughts and my internal monologues.

For example, once I'm on Instagram search column and a Big Bootay 🍑 pops up on my search result screen I don't spend more than 5 secs looking at it...

The moment I catch myself staring, ogling and drooling over a big booty pic online, I immediately exit the entire app.

Same with Phoenix browser app...
I hardly ever open that app anymore due to the explicit short videos featured on it.

You see... When breaking addictions one needs to be 100% actively aware of his/her triggers and I flee from them because you are defenseless against them.

One of the reasons I have been feeling this honey may be because my soon-to-be-ex babe visited yesterday and I got all smoochy & touchy with her.

I am actively and consciously avoiding triggers like a plague.

That includes scantily dressed hoes on Socials.
Clubs that have hookers.
Inviting babes home and the lot.

Besides, I need to retain those proteens as they'll be needed for all the mental calculations and planning I'll be putting my brain cells through this week.
...

I need to hit at least 5million in my savings from my work to be able to start thinking much about coitus.

I have to catch some rest now as tomorrow is church. I'll keep you guys updated.

It's been a battle and I'm scared he's loosing weight. He hates milk or anything sweet and if I force-feed (which I'm advised against) he just pukes it all out.

It's even more frustrating when I try to make food just for him and he doesn't take it I'm juggling with work and I'm pulling my hairs at this point.

So yesterday my babe came over to my place. Spent like an hour before leaving..

After she had some food and was relaxed I invited her over to my bed so I could hold her.

She came over and after a while she started kissing me. She ate up my lips but no tongues. Then I slid my hands down her shorts to grab her soft succulent butt cheeks.

And when I tried to lay on her she tensed up immediately. This happened in a split second. If no be say I sabi pay attention to person body language I swear I would have missed it.


She began to adjust herself and escaped from my hold and left the bed. Hmmm 🤔

By this time, I was already hard as steel!

I mean it's been a while I held a woman in the privacy of my room. E done dey reach 2 months now.

I felt bad and she noticed but promised to visit again. In my mind, I know I'd have to get another girlfriend. ..

This is Day 8 of staying free from Marijuana and all forms of it.

Effects of Weed on REM Sleep

1. **Reduction of REM Sleep**: THC tends to suppress REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is the sleep stage associated with dreaming and cognitive restoration. I'll explain what cognitive restoration means.
Now... What is Cognitive Restoration?

Cognitive restoration refers to the process through which the brain restores & enhances its functioning during sleep, particularly during REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep.

Here are key aspects of cognitive restoration:

### Key Aspects of Cognitive Restoration


1. **Memory Consolidation**: REM sleep plays a vital role in consolidating or strengthening memories.


During this phase, the brain processes and organizes information acquired during the day, helping to transfer short-term memories into long-term storage.

Which is why most stoners are bad at keeping a collective memory.


2. **Emotional Regulation**: REM sleep is important for processing emotions and experiences.

REM sleep helps the brain to merge emotional memories, which can lead to better emotional regulation and endurance.

3. **Problem-Solving & Creativity**: REM sleep has been linked to enhanced creativity and problem-solving abilities.

The brain makes new connections & associations during this phase, which can lead to insights and innovative thinking.

Which is also why a lot of stoners lack zeal & motivation.


4. **Neuroplasticity**: REM sleep contributes to neuroplasticity, which is -- the brain's ability to adapt and reorganize itself. This is essential for learning and recovery from injuries.

Which is also why smokers tend to have a literary fried brain cells.


5. **Cognitive/Mental/Psychological Functioning**: Adequate REM sleep is associated with improved attention, concentration, and overall cognitive performance.

Lack of REM sleep can lead to difficulties in these areas.

### CONCLUSION

In summary, cognitive restoration during REM sleep is extremely important for memory processing, emotional health, creativity, and overall cognitive functioning.

Disruptions in REM sleep can negatively impact these processes, leading to various cognitive and emotional challenges.


Which is also why persons below 27 years aren't advised to smoke weed.... And the reason is because your brain is still growing during those early years of your life.

.
.

.
LET ME END BY REPEATING MY REASONS FOR EMBARKING ON THIS QUITING SMOKING CHALLENGE.

REAFFIRMATIONS:

I'll stay clean for my lungs
I'll stay off weed for my brain cells
I'll stay off weed to improve my cognitive and mental health.


I'll stay off weed to realign my subconscious during REM sleep.

I'll stay off smoking to prevent the habit being passed down to my offsprings when God in his infinite abundance presents a suitable spouse.


I'll stay clean to detox ...
I feel so good and I know the universe is aligning to my affirmations 🙏

So... That's it. I'll update in tomorrow, Sunday.

Time to hit the gym because CandyOps understands that the moment he cut off the major source of his dopamine supply he has to get those cherished hits from other sources hence - lifting weights up to 100kg and above 💪

This is Day 8 of staying free from Marijuana and all forms of it.

I think I'm at the last phase of withdrawals as
I currently find it hard to sleep. Not like I'm an early sleeper but then I don't have troubles falling asleep when I want to.

Or... maybe it's my doom scrolling that keeps me up all night.

But then the nightmares are here!
Weed kinda disrupts REM sleep stage and shiit.

Stay with me I'll explain...

Weed, particularly strains high in THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), can impact sleep patterns, including REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep. Here’s how it affects REM sleep:

Effects of Weed on REM Sleep

1. **Reduction of REM Sleep**: THC tends to suppress REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep, which is the sleep stage associated with dreaming and cognitive restoration. I'll explain what cognitive restoration means

This can lead to fewer dreams and may affect overall sleep quality.

2. **Increased Sleep Latency**: While some people may fall asleep faster with THC, it can also increase the time it takes to enter REM sleep, disrupting the normal sleep cycle.

3. **Altered Sleep Architecture**: Regular use of cannabis can change the structure of sleep cycles, often leading to longer periods of deep sleep (non-REM) at the expense of REM sleep.

4. **Withdrawal Effects**: For regular users, stopping cannabis can lead to a rebound effect where REM sleep may increase significantly, potentially resulting in vivid dreams or nightmares during withdrawal.

5. **Individual Variability**: The impact of weed on sleep can vary widely among individuals based on factors like tolerance, dosage, and individual biology.

### Conclusion

While some may use cannabis to aid sleep onset, its impact on REM sleep can lead to changes in sleep quality and overall health. Reducing or moderating use may help restore a healthier sleep pattern over time.

Lol... The road to ruin is paved with good intentions. Funny how the little yellowish amber flame of the candle light you lit up is about to spiral out of control into a wildfire grin

Sometimes even the best intentions can lead to the worst outcomes.. just smile and wave! You've sadly lost the rein over this thread lol

There's this solar light in the shape of cctv but its just solar light you can try it out. It's very cheap and it uses remote control
Ok thanks for the suggestion. Do you already sell it? Is it hot? As I've exhausted my ad budget. I can't afford to test random products for fun.

My next sales campaign will have to be a joint venture. I develop & design the sales funnel while my partner's will provide funding for the test advert.

I've been up since yesterday. I need to catch some rest

There’s money in the list.

Also focus on building a digital real estate , like a YouTube channel or something.

Also add digital marketing specific skills to your portfolio (SEO, SEM, PPC,) etc.
Ok thanks. I always somehow miss those specifics when sending out my CV. I once had a page rank on Google page 1 in the men's health niche. But it didn't bring in any sales or new subs
Just page views
