pansophist:
Tucker Carlson is currently in Moscow to interview Vladimir Putin.

Also, Elon Musk has promised not to censor it on Twitter, and the full interview will be posted on Tucker's website, for everyone to view, and it won't be behind a paywall.

WOW.

I can't wait. Seems like sacking Tucker from Fox is the best thing that is happening to Journalism, that guy has gone fully wide, and out to make mainstream media look like a thief.

Gerrard59, LORDKO, Caveadullam

Mainstream media exists to cover the tracks of their political sponsors. They know the truth. But saying it aloud will mean losing their jobs.

Empires do take a long time to crumble, but it does. All barriers will be broken. More people are becoming aware of the nonsensical lies and obscuring of the truth by the MSM.

I just hope Tuck asks the necessary questions. Though we know some parts of the answers.

Well done, chief.

hotplate:
For someone who ventured into something and failed how would you say such a person doesn't have regrets and died fulfilled. In fact what does failure and fulfilment have in common

When you people talk about failure, let me ask:

How many times did you tried and failed?

What methodology did you used?

What did you learn after failing?

Did you come back to try again using lessons from your previous failures?

Did you factor failure into your adventure and possible ways to mitigate it?

Did you consult experts or mentors before commencing the journey?

Because many of you after doing something for 6 months or 1 year and don't see immediate anticipated results, that becomes the end of the road. You term it a failure.

Meanwhile, it can be that you're still in the germination stage and need more years to become a strong tree with broad roots.

After the first failure, you lock up and fold your hands. No consistency. No obsession.

Businesses fold after many years. This may be due to unforeseen circumstances, policies, regulations, mismanagement, etc. But a business who's interested in carrying on with the business will think of other ways to maneuver.

Which is better: you tried and failed or you lampoon in self-pity and regrets because you were scared of failing?

If you try and fail, you take your L and leverage it to become better. Or divert to another route while utilizing the same lesson.

You don't regret something that's beyond your power. Regrets are a result of what you could have done but didn't. Regrets stem from passiveness - you didn't act or being proactive - you needed not to have acted.

However, whether active with negative feedback isn't a big deal. It's that you now have a modern and fresh idea about how to handle the issue next time.

You are not a failure if you tried your best to make ends meet. By the way, hardly the universe doesn't reward hard work + grit. It comes down to whether you are a man of wisdom and can leverage experiences and difficulties.

In the Song of Ice and Fire: Clash of Kings, Ser Dantos told Sansa "...the confusion will be our friend".

So if you're not a wise person, you'll see a dark ugly ground where others see it as a place to plant seeds.

Fulfillment isn't that you have all of your heart desires. It's that you lived your life the way you wanted, stretching it to the extreme. You came, you saw; even if you were conquered you still got experiences and lessons under your belt.

There is a probability of success in several trials; none when you don't try. The former is fulfillment, the latter is failure.

Thanks.

tensazangetsu20:
If you can be discouraged from relocating then you never had the skills or the money or you hadnt made up your mind yet. One mantra I love to live with is that I will rather live with failure than regret. I rather try something and I fail at it completely than not doing that thing and then regretting years later why i never took that opportunity.

A fulfilled life doesn't mean you gained everything you wanted.

It means you tried everything your mind deliberated on. You tried. You failed. Or you succeeded.

A life of trial and error may not bring success, however, you won't remain the same way you started. It ends with a lesson you can leverage on.

Many people don't like to try because it takes effort. It takes confidence to bear the shame of failure.

They rather protect their ego and die in penury than step out of it and see how things will work out for their good.

When you have no regrets in life, you die a fulfilled man.

Romance / Re: Do You Also Believe In This by CaveAdullam: 11:29pm On Feb 04
Let me tell you something:

As a broke man, you don't have a choice. You can't be poor and be selective when it comes to means of making income.

What exactly are you safeguarding your ego for? When you're broke, poor, look malnourished, tattered, and probably ugly. To cap it all, you may be an introvert or timid person.

Don't you see the conspiracy web of poverty over your head?

I'm talking from a place of experience and observation. So don't think I'm attacking you if you read it that way.

Only when you're wealthy can you decide to do this and not do that. At the bottom, you must make ends meet. You do that by trying your hands in different finance sectors until you choose or see one you'll love to lock in till you break even.

That's why the average Ibo man can't be broke. They may not hold the position of being the richest in Nigeria or Africa but those people have unlocked the door to personal income long ago.

The average Ibo man who's poor and broke is one who sees a certificate as the only key. Most from their secondary school days have started their business lives via parental tutelage or an apprenticeship system.

Ditto for the average Northern man. They may not be hitting it big but they always find a way to put food on their table and eat. Ironically, they got wives and children to provide for. The care might be minimal and poor but you can see the efforts they bring to the field every day.

You see teaching as 25k salary work. Which is true. But you don't see it as having a solid knowledge of a particular core subject and starting a tutorial with it. You can start organizing small lectures, and do home lessons.

This idea goes into other economic domains too.

You want things on a platter of gold. You can't be poor and still have options when it comes to money.

This is not to say you must turn yourself into a doormat. But nobody wants to stay with a poor man, a man without value, nothing to offer.

Build yourself with value first. Make money. Before you start deciding.

Start somewhere. Start small.

The government of Africa is in gridlock for the next 100 years. Expecting a born-again change is a fool's game.

Better try and see how you can better your life.

Time waits for no man.

Thanks.

This was for personal study and to fill up my leisure time. Start from one to five, in that order. If you are done, you can proceed to read Elementary Linear Algebra by Ron Larson, Edwards, and Falvo. If you are interested in learning Mathematics, these should do and leave you thoroughly grounded.

You can try getting the pdf online; it is easy by googling or going to pdfdrive website. You can get books on all subjects of life on that website. If you have any problem locating any book on that, I can contact you and send the pdf files via WhatsApp.

Odingo1:

If I tell her to give me her phone it always lead to quarrel or any form of test, she will always say she did not do such when single that is now she will start doing it. That all men are cheat and she can’t trust anyone. She do pastors things, all this online program. Pastor this, pastor that. I didn’t see it coming obviously.

Perhaps my plot twist may end up being true.

A cheating woman is a dangerous one.

I would have advised you to compel her to give you access to her phone or face serious scrutiny.

Wait for her shenanigans. When she's done, demand the phone until she gives you. Don't allow her to go inside and come back. Follow her.

A woman's phone is where her heaven and earth lie.

This is a direct attack.

Indirect attack: do your investigation secretly. Make her feel comfortable. Stay calm throughout till you verify her fidelity.

Thanks.

Plot twist:

she's the one cheating. Her shit tests are to make the equation complete so that she won't feel guilty about her infidelity when caught. Or to mellow the unrest of her pricking conscience.

Trust is a key factor in a relationship. When the parties start doubting themselves, the relationship is heading to Abaddon.

Her fears are reasonable, in that many men aren't faithful to their marriage vows. A promiscuous married man is a menace to his family. The better, polygamy rather than playing hide and seek with the skirts and wrappers outside.

Your wife might trust you. But news from outside tends to push her to verify your faithfulness.

Counterintuitive, a woman who subjects you to such rigorous, intimidating, and infuriating tests is a woman who sees you as her equal or below her.
If not, she'll fear losing you rather than making you jump hurdles and run through tunnels.

She knows you too well. She has sensed a weakness in your armor and exploring it to her advantage. The continuous tests to the extent of hiring a potential hoe is all you need to know. A woman who fears or respects you wouldn't tour that length. Not after you've proved your fidelity with clean results.

In common parlance, we say "She don see you finish".

She will never try this with any of her celebrity male crush or a man she admires secretly. Because under 2 seconds they've thrown her out of the window.

A woman always misbehaves when she knows that she's the only one in the scene. This is different from her being jealous and trying to guard her territory - her husband.

You need to reverse this game by calling her bluffs.

No need for shouting and raising your shoulders to claim macho at home.

Wake her up at night and tell her if she ever repeats such nonsense in whatever form you'll throw her out. Let her know that she isn't the only woman on earth.

Learn to dress more nicely now. Wear fitted clothes and perfume. It's time to pepper your wife. Make her feel jealous. You're sending a message. If she's a woman that has sense and self-awareness she will start to comport. Else, you know what to do from there.

Perhaps the plot twist is true. But if you feel she's cheating on you and projecting it to you, go under secret surveillance till you catch her red-handed. I will help you to throw her out.

Go reclaim your masculinity now.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot. I am exploring some options. In addition to that, my cousin just promised to link me with two sure plugs.

Finally, I am curious, which brand of laptop do you think I should go for? HP or Dell?

I have never used Dell. I got Hp.

However, the Dell Latitude E4770 ( hope I got the numbers right) my little colleague got on Saturday is beautiful and has the features you talked about and more.

When choosing gadgets, I go for the one that has many technicians who can repair them and readily available parts. HP wins on that end. + able to do what I intend for it.

With your budget, you can access any of the brands and models you desire before making a final buy.

Forget that blogging stuff and go set up a YouTube channel.

One guy just takes his camera around showing fine houses and mansions and he has blown big time with over a million subscribers. That’s major income.

Just choose your favourite niche and start a YT channel. You can even be sampling Naija food in Buka and be uploading videos on that.

Or you can focus on club scene, or showing new projects and infrastructure, or traditional festivals, etc. Your target audience should be diaspora guys in US, UK etc.

Imagine being in their shoes. What videos would YOU love to see about Naija?

Brainstorm on that, and then supply it.

Be committed. Upload consistently. You will clean up.

The algorithm is a bigger challenge on social media. But once it clicks, boom.

Did your friend have to pay for some boosting and likes?

Because growing on YouTube is easier said than what's beneath the carpet.

Thanks for the contribution.

If you tell me the psychology behind this question I asked this single lady below, I owe you 10k card. Check the image below to see what I asked her.

From her caption, she doesn't have a partner based on any of these reasons:

1. Heartbreaks.
2. Fear of heartbreak.
3. Religious reasons.
4. Health reasons.

The psychology behind that question: you come as a person who understands that fear. And you came painting it on her face.

You're simply telling her that, "Hey, I know your burden. I understand your fears. I will be the right person for you".

Rather than coming as a lover directly, you're coming as a guardian angel. Sorry, a demon with an angel's cloak. You've postponed your feasting to the future.

You want to make her first feel relaxed before launching your soft fleshy pointed elongated missile.

Other men will tend to present themselves as good partners and preach about how they'll take care of her and their family lineage. But her fears will weed them out because they don't understand her real fears and concerns.

It's you who understands that fear. It is you who want to make her overcome that fear. It is you she'll desire if you apply small pressure.

She wants to feel secure before submitting to a man.
And it's that security you are bringing. Only that she'll be locked behind a blessed penis.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Is Yahoo The Only Means Of Survival In Nigeria? by CaveAdullam: 1:20am On Jan 23
Everything in this life involves work.

The problem is that we're blinded by aesthetics, stories, and testimonies and think success is like sleeping at night and waking up to dawn with loads of goodies at the doorstep.

There are many means of survival aside engaging in the maneuvering and tactics of fraudulent activities.

Fraudsters aren't in their numbers compared to seas of genuine hustlers. You don't see it because you're veiled by the garment of aesthetics, makeup, and easy quick fixes.

Illegal activities involve tough work.
Legal activities involve tough work.

It depends on the amount of energy you'll put into any of them and the number of sleepless nights you'll have to stay awake to get what you desire.

If you've been doing something that hasn't been fetching you money, you either improve the operation, re-strategize or try something better.

The possibility of having a good nation like the Western world in Nigeria and Africa is at least more than a century and more from now.

So better get used to the system and find ways to leverage and set yourself free from this unfortunate state of affairs.

Legal or illegal, be deliberate about it and you'll succeed.

The downside of going the illegal route is the consequences of physical maltreatment and losses you may experience when your luck is exhausted. But it is still a matter of knowing your game well, which will make you like a slippery eel that can't be caught with wet palms.

No too much whining.
No too much overthinking.
No too much complaints.

Nobody is in a race to abandon theirs to come help you.

Just put on your vest and toolkit. Start working.

Thanks.

TV/Movies / A Deeper Look Into The Movie: A Tribe Called Judah (photos) by CaveAdullam: 11:32am On Jan 22
A tribe called Judah is a movie that features the lengths humans will go to meet their needs and protect the ones they love.

Not only that, the movie features one of the toughest debates running through generations and centuries: spousal vs motherly love—which is greater?

By the way, Testimony is the kind of woman every young man must push to experience in their lifetime, either as a girlfriend or a wife.
Jedidiah Judah is the zenith of human development—the balanced man.

Funke Akindele in her movie, featuring as Jedidiah Judah, buttresses the fact that women are loyal to their feelings and will stretch forth to fulfill their desires in matters of love and romance, as clearly expressed in her late teenage years.

Despite her father being a pastor, she lusts after the forbidden fruit, which leads to her getting pregnant at a young age, further leading to her procreating five children who represent three philosophical dimensions of humans. Of course, the mistakes of her early years are the foundational problem she continued to wrestle with even in her middle age.

Emeka Judah and Adamu Judah are representations of good men: men of competence and honor; men who value and rank character and reputation above all things; men who will rather move slowly to their destination than run at a high speed that will be detrimental to other commuters.

They are the first and second sons of Jedidiah Judah, respectively. However, as with all men, temptation amid a greater problem is the true test of integrity. Both men fell on the last day, however, in the pursuit of a course that transcended their bellies and pockets.

Pere Judah, the third son and Shina Judah, the fourth son of Jedidiah Judah, are representations of bad men. They are sociopathic sons who will sail seas, run through valleys, and climb high mountains to satisfy their desires.

Of course, in their pursuit of their gains, they don’t mind sacrificing as many individuals who stand as barriers. They are men rooted in themselves. A complete antithesis of their eldest brothers. Ditto for C and K furniture manager, Collette.
However, Collette wasn’t as melodramatic as Shina but as sleek as Pere, both always waiting for their victims to lie low or appear weak before striking.

The average man is timid, less obsessive, and just wants to mind his business by maintaining his little lane. This is a lukewarm character. It’s void of great ambitions, rooted in mediocrity, which veneers itself in the cloak of “Just be yourself”. Ejiro Judah, the fifth and last son of Jedidiah Judah, is a representation of such men.

Ejiro’s love affair with his girlfriend, Testimony, was a contributing factor in why he pushed to the heights of his creative ability and flare for danger. Though a fearful man, Testimony never made him feel relaxed.

She helps him in his career as an artist by selling his art with him and also engaging in a pitiful adventure in search of money. Both loved each other sincerely. Testimony is evidence that women who genuinely desire their men will ride with them in sunshine and rainfall.

Jedidiah Judah will do anything for her boys in whatever way she can. A kind of mother who won't offer her bad sons as scapegoats for public scrutiny but will discipline them indoors.

However, her arms of discipline were weak due to the absence of a father figure and an older wise person in the family. She tried her best, but it was never enough. Her past mistakes became her daily nightmares.

Despite her mistakes, she was ready to make amendments. She never allowed herself to get completely lost in her predicaments; she caught humor, jokes, songs, and dances. Hence, her alias—Blacks don’t crack.

She is a representation of Black Africans who still find moments of joy and hope despite their difficulties, failings, and poverty. She even went beyond her poverty to offer hope and give joy to other poor women by providing them with little funds for their specific purposes.

C and K furniture owner added more verification on the fact that “not all that glitters is gold”. Hiding behind furniture making and sales, the company was a pipeline for money laundering. He was not an excellent entrepreneur as many thought.
He was a thief and illegal businessman, albeit silent and sleek like Pere Judah but richer than him because of the differences in their scale of theft. The former is an international thief, while the latter is a local thief.

Ironically, the bigger thief couldn’t swallow a teaspoon of his medicine when he was attacked; he sought justice and fairness but fell into the hole he had dug for his enemies.

Jedidiah Judah isn’t among the saints like her sons, Emeka and Adamu. But she had a kind heart. Though not muscularly built and skilled like a warrior, she had her sons as her bow and arrow to unleash discipline and judgment upon those who would cause pain to the weak.

She is a prototype of a balanced man, exhibiting both kindness and ruthlessness at appropriate times. This makes “A Tribe Called Judah” a good movie to watch.

Romance / Re: Guy Do You Enjoy Sucking Boobs by CaveAdullam: 10:49pm On Jan 19
When I say 'I love you" I'm referring to her boobs, not her.

Curvy-shaped boobs, gently folded within the arms of the brassier parted by a hollow body of flesh that is now her chest spikes my libido.

When my eyes pierce through her clothes, what I see is God's graciousness.

They dance for joy and my smile is to take them with the soft flesh of my palms. To unleash them, to free them from that mask called a bra, and breathe fresh air, of life from my nostrils and guts.

At the onset of romance, I make sure my hands secure them and ensure their protection. The nipples respond safely by standing erect.

The militaristic mission of my fingers to where the breasts are being held hostage is where I will go a thousand times and more.

They love the affection of my forefinger and thumb in action. The nipples know this. The areola wants my tongue to circle it. The soft round orange breasts are happy to welcome their king.

My mouth on the left breast sends purified wind into her carefully sculpted and tiny holes and my right palm tells the right breast that she's safe.

Left and right breasts desire my delicate palms and my mouth. They want the touch of love and the kisses of god.

And I never fail to ensure they are satisfied because their mother moans as she squeezes my bedsheets, finding an anchor at the surface of the mattress. Protruding her whole thoracic structure for more action, more kisses, more sucking of her two-daughter breasts.

I can see their worries when I'm about to leave them. But as a man, I got other militaristic missions.

I do promise them I will return as I carefully ensure their protection when sending them back to wear their bra mask.

"Breast is life".

When discussing economic problems, what I have majorly come across is the burden placed on the government.

First time I'm reading a book that shifts the burden to the masses.

Notwithstanding, every analysis is based on a particular angle which leads to the same end: economic prosperity.

The government still has many functions to display. Policies, legislation, and oversight from their angle will go a long way in manifesting growth and development.

The unfortunate aspect of African politics and economy is that there is already an established template for growth and sustainability, yet we are all looking the wrong way and proudly walking on the wrong path.

That's why I always project that light will dawn on Africa maybe 100 - 1000 years from now. But as for the moment, we're still confused as a people, nation, and continent. Which will make progress be accomplished at a snail-paced.

Before that time, it's left for each individual to lift themselves from their shackles. Either through tough work and/or cooperation. Because help is far from the African continent.

Thanks for the mention.

That book was what made me understand corruption is not necessarily Nigeria's problem but the over-dependence on government entities. The government has no business in the business of business. It should act as a regulatory force, not operating.

My stance on statistics is based on personal beliefs and academic background: in my field (right from undergrad), if you say anything, you must support it with facts. You cannot just say something and go like that. Expect a barrage of questions: how, why, where, what, which, why not, etc. At first, e go be as if the questionnaires hate you, but it helped me organise the way I see things. Nothing like trust me bro or I no fit lie give you or dem tell me say. That behaviour nearly cause problem with me and my departmental mates then. But with time, anyone discussing issues with me was careful at making categorical statements, because I will ask for the source.

Another moniker of mention is IbeOkehie: He made me understand Nigerians don't own land, there is still subsidy on petroleum products, and I like his capitalistic mentality. I thought I was a profound capitalist until I came across his posts.

Romance / Re: I Never Knew Women Are So Manipulative Until I Got Married by CaveAdullam: 10:11pm On Jan 09
She's simply testing your boundaries unconsciously.

It's an evolutionary instinct to check if their man is capable of leading them and the entire family.

Women are emotional. They reason from a place of fear and emotions. That's the essence of those constant checkups. They need to be assured that their man is safe to keep them safe.

That's why as a man, you must be fit enough to rule yourself before trying to lead a family. Because incapable men will lead the family astray, and most times when they allow themselves to be controlled by the dictates of their woman all in the name of love and romance.

This doesn't overrule the fact that a woman doesn't have anything to offer in the marriage and her family. That's where you as a man, and a capable leader fit in as a filter to weigh and understand her point of view - if to accept or discard it.

Women and children alike hastens to be in charge and control. You see them haranguing to be drivers intending to be on the steering wheel. Give them that opportunity and they'll crash against a wall. Because they see things from a myopic and emotional state.

Your wife will respect you more when you don't give in to her whims and caprices. She may resent you outwardly, however, within her, she's receiving signals that you are not a gullible man who can be oscillated at will.
So she will try to win your heart through many trials and failed attempts.

The best you can do is to build up to become a more competent leader who can hold the family and that she can trust. Let her understand what's at stake and why she must build herself to become capable and act accordingly.

Thanks.

Gerrard59:
I will go first;

Cococandy: I have been following her posts for more than ten years now. While I don't agree with all, I respect her views and applaud her consistency.

CaveAdullam: Pretty detailed posts.

Acidosis: He comes across as a mature man. Those days, I wondered if he was the same person as Acidtalk as both have or had (I no too sabi) conservative views. But Acidtalk was more raw. Nevertheless, 'Dosis' posts have been consistent and well-mannered. I do admire them.

Pocohantas: Obviously popular to most Nlders, I find most of her posts to be hilarious, yet honest. She is raw and doesn't care what people say about her. Overall, she is consistent, and most importantly, she is a one-woman-army. At a point, I used to imagine her punching into the air when replying to certain posts and Nlders.

LordAdam1: He comes across as a big man who has seen everything. There was a reply he gave me that changed my perspective towards entrepreneurship, which I hold till date. Na him favorite way to ending each post with "Lord" wey dey burst my head.

Clearly matured people on your list.

The same reason you mentioned me is the same reason I follow you.

Your attraction towards statistics and data is what I find pleasing. Which has led me to be more considerate when picking, assimilating, and distributing discourse.

I'm really enjoying the last book you recommended: Prosperity Paradox.

Thanks.

Romance / Re: Evil Spirit And The Game Of Power And Wealth In Crisis by CaveAdullam: 11:58pm On Jan 07
Nice observation and discourse.

There will always be an alternation between good and bad times. The longevity of any time, whether good or bad is dependent on the force applied by those in the seats and position of power.

There is always gain in chaos but it benefits only a few rapacious and vicious men.

There is also gain in order. But the benefits don't tank up to the extent where one person will have a large chunk. However, the majority will benefit.

The problem is always the desire for more. Hence, contentment is a hoax. It just takes you to gain one, and you'll desire two, then three...till you get lost in the pursuit of many.

The key to ultimate power = force + connection + resources.

Anyone or group of persons that can handle the wheel, be it good or vicious men, will take the lead and steer it to wherever they want.

Sermons can't make demons become saints. To eradicate them and restore peace is to apply force and suppress their existence.

The ordinary person thinks that preaching morality and humanity to malicious men will make them have a change of heart. That's a big lie!

To overthrow these people is to utilize the same tools they use for their operations, and steer the wheel in the right direction.

But the bigger problem is that they have infiltrated every system and entwined with the systems. Trying to severe them will not be an easy job. They are in a multitude. They mean business, so ambitious and unrelenting in their mission.

But how many people who number themselves to be good and rush to wear the saintly label can stand their ground with these men?

Fear of prison + torture + death has been utilized by these vicious men to scare anyone who will ever imagine challenging them. And they are ready to convert that fear into reality.

To win this war and enjoy a long-lasting peace:

1. Good people must rise in their numbers and must be ready to suffer martyrdom.

2. They must be extremely wealthy. Or have wealthy patrons sponsor them to the end.

3. They too must infiltrate every system and act as a cleanser. Their numbers will wrestle hard with the former occupants as they begin to spread.

4. They must apply force too + have many disciples behind them.

Those who don't misconstrue war as theatre art will win.

The reign of evil and the unrighteous is war.

Thanks.

You've made the best decision man.

I know it pains you because probably, she is your first love and you are entwined in a young beautiful romance. It would have been a lovely memory down the lane if the family approved it. (though you being the younger one come at a disadvantage).

Getting into a relationship with a person that one or both families don't approve of comes with a lot of headaches due to overthinking and rationalizations.
Some do surmount it by going ahead with the relationship whether anybody likes it or not. It isn't worth the stress, however. Anyways, love overcome.

The reality here is that if you are not coming from a strong and wealthy family, getting married will not be easy for you by this age. Considering your age and other goals of yours. Except you have a profitable source of income.

Nothing wrong with getting married early. But you must set your priorities right. Except you just want to foolishly hope your way into a better future, struggling with your pregnant wife to the perceived promised land.

Your girlfriend in question will not want a delay in marriage after their graduation. Especially when well-established suitors are attracted to her like moths to a light bulb. The love needs to be strong for her not to fall by the wayside.

You are hurt. But you just have to move on.

Women date and marry men higher and better than them. You can't blame them. It's simply evolutionary biology.

Think of how to build yourself and become a much better man. With time you'll find a woman better than her. After all, you still got age and vigor by your side.

Thanks.

Family / Re: How Do I Deal With A Manipulative Stepmother by CaveAdullam: 2:11pm On Jan 02
The best way to treat manipulative people is to pretend you don't know their game but stay behind the scenes and counter their games.

You counter their games by mirroring their actions toward them.

Predators fear other predators. Predators only go for the weak. Ditto for manipulative people - they go for the weak and foolish. They fear those who understand their game.

With your stepmother, the best you could've done is what you've done, which is leaving the house for good.

Step-parents can't treat their stepchildren the way they will treat their kids. Stepchildren are a biological threat. I digress.

Your first allies in life - father and mother has failed you. It's then up to you to take yourself of the mess and do something good for yourself. It isn't your fault, but such is life.

Being part of the army is a cool one provided your head miss all the future headshots. Else, you just made a big mistake. But I understand. Except you gonna be an army officer.

Even in the army, you will see and experience manipulations and oppressions of the highest level, one in which your stepmother can't be qualified to compete with. Lol.

I wish you a safe end, dear friend.

Thanks.

Family / Re: Does A Woman Earning More Than The Husband Affect The Marriage? by CaveAdullam: 1:52pm On Jan 02
The average person lacks self-awareness, knowledge, and wisdom. Because building these virtues and values takes a long time.

A woman earning more than her man in the process of a relationship ought not to be a problem. But the average woman doesn't think beyond the first layer of her head. Hence, many become obnoxious and treat their husbands with disdain and disrespect.

Women want to be with men higher and better than them. Once a woman senses that she's better than you in one or two areas, resentment and disrespect start breeding in her heart.
Because she sees you as a leader, and expects you to operate from a higher dimension. You operating below her scares her evolutionary wiring - that you are a man who can't protect and provide for her kids in dire moments.

These challenges men face with women have led men into the field of innovations and different wonders. The burden of performance is always upon the man. The woman wants that assurance that she is with the right man.

Relationship isn't a competition. It ought to be two people working together to achieve a particular goal.

However, in sexual relationship, men must be ahead of their woman in all ramifications. It breeds respect, ensure the stability of the relationship, and gives the woman an assurance.

Men that have their women ahead must work hard to pass them and maintain first position. It isn't by pulling her down, treating her badly, subtle jealousy, subtle hate, and acting macho.

It is him going back to the strategy board to plan better ways and win his game. After all, it is his duty to lead his family, and by so must remain at the forefront.

It's easier to tell women to maintain submissions, modesty, and humility when they are on top and earning more than their husbands than for said women to deliberately act that same way.

Only advice for this women is to help stimulate their husbands in getting to the top. Not by anger, henpecking, nagging, subtle jabs, and negligence. But by love and humility.

It will not be easy. But it is possible. Because a woman wants to see her man at the top and it gives men joy to be at the top.

Thanks.

Family / Re: Why Ladies Refuse To Build With Guys !! by CaveAdullam: 11:51am On Jan 02
1. Dating and marriage come with a lot of compromises men and women are unwilling to take.

The woman wants to enjoy the benefits of commitment without positioning herself for such. And also fails to understand that life is not always fair and rosy.

The men on the other hand can't be able to remain firm as a head, a leader, and an anchor when the storm rises.

Women break their vows out of emotional fragility. Men break their vows out of timidity.

2. In an ideal economy, an average man can take care of his wife and children. The reason married men go the extra mile is because they have followers - wives and kids who look up to them for protection and survival.

When conditions are ideal, he will stick to the end. Because that's his duty.

3. Now, it is women that decide if a relationship will hold or not.

Commitment is important to her. However, commitment from the man's end comes at a heavy cost.

Hence, the only time a man can decide on a divorce is when the woman is unwilling to change from her obscene ways. Initiating divorce ruins his investment over the years.

Compared to women, men will plead for the continuation of a relationship when it approaches the rock.

4. Women date/marry established men.

It has nothing to do with socio-cultural factors. It is simply biology. Women marry men better and higher than them.

Because the woman is weak compared to the man. The cost of pregnancy and nurturing of kids is expensive.

5. Building with a man from scratch is a gamble. It's not even a matter of heartbreak. That's the penultimate reason.

The ultimate reason:

She is sacrificing her fertility to build from scratch and if before marriageable age or menopause the said man hasn't been established, it means she lose the gamble.

The woman is consumed with a lot of contemplations:

What if he doesn't make it?
What if he lost his life along the way, and couldn't make it?
How long will it take for him to make it?

These are her major concerns.

Abandonment or heartbreak isn't as brutal as losing her time and fertility. At least with the former, she has a stake provided she's wise.

6. It takes a foresighted woman to wait and build with a man which is possible by weighing his dreams and ambitions and making good calculations that he will succeed despite the odds.

These are the category of women who feel much pain when the man maltreats or abandons them after he gains fame. However, these are not most men.

A man will always stay with that woman who followed and helped him through the long, narrow, and dark tunnel.

7. A woman not building with a man from scratch is a biological default. It takes self-awareness to wrestle with the default settings and stick with a broke man till he becomes established.

Men also need to understand this. It's not her fault.

8. That's why most men want to become established before entering a serious relationship. But they miss the whole point because, at the end of the day, they try to make a relationship work by spending and throwing cash.

9. A relationship is two (or more) people coming together to merge their forces, work together, and achieve a common goal.

The modern relationship these days is all about sex, parties, and alcohol.

Relationships rooted in superficiality. Two fools playing the fools game. No dream. No pursuit. No ambition.

10. People that engage in meaningful relationship, people who are aware of themselves and have strong ambitions aren't caught in this mess compared to their counterparts.

Thanks.
