GodHimself:
I like the way you write. It’s clear and communicates your idea effectively.

I hope you have a blog.

On education: the delivery vehicle is where the opportunity lies.

Thank you for your kind words. I do appreciate it.

Don't have a blog yet. Even the first post was supposed to be a WhatsApp status post. But I just kept writing and writing and writing, then, boom.

The structure for REAL education is there already. The important thing now is teaching the right topic and stimulating the learners. As sleeper cells terrorists or suicide bombers are taught.

The advantages and disadvantages of poor living due to poor education are there for the learners to observe for themselves. At least they are already on the disadvantaged side. All the teacher needs to do is to hold it like a mirror to their face so that they won't get distracted.

It's a long journey ahead for Africans.

Thanks.

HayTerran:
None of these is a lie. I share these facts. But all that you propose lack the way forward. That's the problem we have, we are aware of our problems but ignorant of how to approach and solve them. What do you propose?

You are right.

I didn't explicitly propose a solution because it was a rant according to the title.

However, if you read keenly, I pointed to the readers the roots and foundation of their problems. With solutions too.

The first solution is a large-scale massive education of the masses. Africans go to school, but they are not educated.

The education should be one that aggravates their anger every year till they finish learning.
Symposium: A history of Africa and the cause of her problems. The dangerous activities of kinsmen.

An education that must be similar across boards, uniting people of different cultures and religions. Happening almost simultaneously around the continent like the shining sun.

Holy anger generated through learning the reality of the African identity and the state of Africa.

I know you guys want a revolution. You want a massive protest. But it won't work. Yes. It won't work. Hence, revolution isn't common.

Revolution can't work when supposedly angry elites are sleeping or benefiting from the cesspool.

Revolution can't work when the military and police aren't having a deep feeling of distraught.

Revolution can't work when merchants and businessmen still benefit from the chaos.

Revolution can't work when unions and groups don't speak one voice.

Revolution can't work when the workers or labor unions aren't united.

Revolution can't work when the citizens are still divided along religious and tribal lines.

Revolution can't work when the masses aren't speaking one language.

Revolution can't work when the masses haven't planned a way to handle saboteurs and their lineage.

(Many good) elites must also be part of the game. Because money and connection are needed to run the show. It's all about the common good of the whole.

Soldiers need thorough education.

All security arms need thorough education.

Thugs need thorough education.

They must come to understand that the people they serve don't mean well for them and their children.

Proper education, not college degrees will erase these problems gradually.

However, a faster means will be to vote for politicians with good track records. But we know where this ends in Africa. Hence, the education.

The other lovely alternative is in the Bollywood movie: The holiday.
("nor be my mouth you go hear say shoot bird e mama die".

Education wouldn't pose much of a problem because the schools and religious centers are there. What's needed is to infiltrate them with the sought-after elixir.

There is no holy anger in the land. Just rants and complaints, hence, we are stuck where we are.

Education is the best solution I can think of right now. Probably, other better ideas are unknown.

Thanks.

pansophist:


Honestly, I don't know. There is an overlap.

Either student jobs are plenty, but it's hard to get and expensive (eg `Germany), or cheaper to get in, but student jobs aint plentiful (the Baltics), or plentiful jobs, relatively cheap, easy to stay after studies, but easier to heaven than the country (Poland).

So pick your poison bro.

If I can get to heaven before Poland, I might just tell an angel to throw me inside Poland.

But the problem is getting to heaven alive and reaching Poland alive. Like with flesh and blood.

The problem with being an African is that the errors and trials you would have experienced in your early teenage years till the mid-20s, to become fully grounded from 25, or let's say 30...is what you will start experiencing from your 30s.

Starting from this stage, you are distraught. You don't know which hook to hold, the road to follow, or who to listen to.

You become impatient because you are getting older and time is far spent.

Worse is that it's from 40 many start running helter-skelter because from 50 you are literally done with life. Don't allow the exception to deceive you. Proceeding from there you ought to be enjoying the fruits of your labor.

The sad thing is that nobody tells you from an early age.

Our parents have been bamboozled by religion and the hope of a better future. They just allow things to slide. They built us for the past, not for the present.

Not their fault though because they were using a prior template that was good but expired even before we were born. Hence, many youths of today are void except for their college degrees. Multitudes still lack a basic education.

No idea about navigating the world. No idea about money making. No idea about business. No idea about handling our problems. No idea about dealing with people. Just blank and empty.

They are like harmless and helpless flocks with the hope of using a degree to get their lives satisfaction and happily ever after.

As we speak, many don't know what to do. They don't know where to move to. They don't even know how to think. They are hopeless.

The promise of a better future was a facade. They fasted. They prayed. They served their father's land. Are humble and patriotic citizens, yet the goalpost gets farther away from them every time they come close to scoring a goal.

Ideas die faster in poor and underdeveloped nations.

The innovations that have sprung up in place of previous poverty had giants and great men who stood by the brains behind that idea. Like Vanderbilt to Rockefeller.

Rockefeller would have died like the average man if no one had been there to key into his oil exploration idea and adventure.

Things take extra power to survive in places of poverty. I mean power beyond the seven seas and oceans. That's why development and innovation in Africa can be counted on the fingers.

Converting your idea into a great innovation from a standpoint of integrity in a poor place takes something beyond your might, strength, and thought.
There's a higher probability of you dining with the devil to get it done even if it was and never your original intention.

But you got to do it because you want food to eat. You want to take care of momma. You want to see Papa look good like his youthful days.

You are like a naked migrant in a desert. The Sahara desert is even a testament to this. It has young Africans buried inside her belly who tried migrating to Europe because they couldn't survive the extreme power of the sand dune and vicious men of the Sahara.

You are empty. All you see is a sand dune.

Oasis? That's a black swan. Support? That's a fairy tale. Guidance? You're asking for magic.

That's the case of being an African.

Conditions are so tough that you'll begin to doubt your dreams. You'll think if your ambitions are grandiose. You'll think if you are making a mistake. Because despite your efforts and endeavors, nothing fruitful comes out. A futile result you get every day.

Meanwhile, your nonchalant peer in a developed world doesn't need to work as hard as you to get his basic needs met.

The funny thing is that as Africans, our daily struggle is to provide for our daily needs. Not for the party. Not for extravagance. To put food on your table, a good shelter, security, and good internet access.

However, millions of Africans have died without meeting their daily needs. They die poorer than the poverty line.

Seeing young African children today causes me a lot of fear. Not for the harm they will cause but for their future which is gonna be wasted under bad government and leadership. They are jolly and happy today, but their future is blink except a tsunami of change overtakes the African government for good.

And by the way, the crime rate in poor nations is usually high and extreme. Virtues and vices can't be void. You either get occupied with one and forgo the other. So when virtues are lost, expect the sons and daughters of Adam to dance in the playground of their most animalistic nature.

And here I have a problem with African mothers who intend to procreate beyond 2 kids. Like what do you need the extra kids for? You that have not fulfilled your dreams, what then do you have to help 3 or more kids to fulfill theirs?

Getting pregnant at this age, a sight to behold, a thing of good, and the joy of being a mother is metamorphosing into a horror scene.

Because if you don't have the basic necessities to cater to a child till the point of comfortable adulthood, you've done great wickedness to that child. And this circles us back to the opening of this post.

Africans seem not to even know their problem. Anyway, the majority are religious and filled with myriads of superstitions. They don't even know that they have been hostage in their lands. Locked by corrupt kinsmen.

Anyway, they will fight over tribal, religious, and political views. Still inside their cage. What a pathetic scene to behold.

Despite the obstacles, the few that can get going should keep going. Hope is the fire. It will one day illuminate our darkness and we will give light.

May those who are confused and lose hope find the courage once more to march on as gallant soldiers.

We don't know when we will find rest. But we know that this too shall pass away.

"Wia" is a common parlance in the pidgin dictionary of Nigeria.

It can mean nothing when use with "for".

Example:

"for wia. I nor get money o".

It can also mean it's a lie.

Example:

Mr A: Big man with doings.

Mr B: "For wia, make una nor believe am o".

It can also mean everywhere.

Example: The hunger and poverty in Nigeria is "every wia".

The deed has already been done.

No need to wish if things went this way or that way. We only have decisions about now and the future. The past is immutable.

He has lost her trust.

The price he'll pay daily is that he'll consistently prove that he has changed because his fiancee will doubt every one of his moves and words. If the fiancee decides to stay.

Trust has always been a problem in the world. Once broken, it becomes (impossible) difficult to amend. The worst is that betrayals have a rippling effect. It affects those who are innocent. To trust genuine people becomes harder and harder.

The child is already a link between them. If she can find a sound and good relationship as a single mother or can manage herself, let her leave her fiance and forge a better and new life with a man whom she can trust and be open. (However, this wouldn't erase her fears).

The fiance too can do the same. But the guilt laid in his heart will last for a very long time. He will project his insecurities and fear of betrayal to his new partner. Also with his current fiancee if they reconcile.

Counterintuitive, albeit dark, she has won his trust forever. He will do everything to prove that he is a change person. The woman can use this as leverage to get him under her tenterhooks, especially when she decides to develop dark personality traits.

Thanks.

Gerrard59:
As I have written here:

Everything is economics. As black Africans, we are too poor, and very poor to be arrogant at the same time. That is my annoyance with Nigerian netizens - poor yet proudly arrogant and terribly ignorant. Effects of inhaling generator fumes and sweating at the same time. Bad combo.

With the support for the seizure of private businesses and socialist policies, the poverty will soar. The future get as e.

I do say it that regardless of the means or source of wealth, rich people or well-to-do people are well-behaved and mannered than poor people.

Research even has it that people born with silver spoons are more empathic than people who grew from grass to grace. Once a poor man will tend to act like a goat on large doses of methamphetamine.

The working of the mentality of the rich and poor greatly differs.

You'd expect the poor man to be sound in character, honest, and reputable, however, that's not the case.

The worst form of misbehavior, belligerence, and arrogance is quotidian among poor people. Their sense of grandiosity launches into space.

This doesn't need to be argued. Visiting poor and rich neighborhoods is the answer.

Of course, money is expedient for the maintenance and running of daily affairs. But there are some things that don't require money at all.

You don't need money to talk politely and approach and interact with people in soft tones and coordinated manners. Make your surroundings clean.

The only time poor people tend to behave is when they are in the midst of rich folks or forceful people like them. Their behavior is either to act as a sycophant or ingratiate or pretend to follow.

Their normal behavior is how they interact with their fellow colleagues. What's even mind-blowing is that poor people look down on other poor people. This very sad phenomenon is mostly observed and practiced by women; black women especially.

They ratio you according to your appearance and how much you will gonna spend or throw away. Meanwhile, they have nothing and lack everything from material to immaterial values.

This obnoxiousness is largely witnessed among the black population worldwide. Poor people who should rather shut up and follow the orders of well-refined society will try to bring it down by screaming r@cism, DEI blah blah blah nonsense.
Meanwhile, their murmuring is due to the fact that they can't maintain order, and can't concentrate for long because their mindset has been calibrated to accept chaos.

The stupidest amongst them will always clamor to say "In Nigeria/Africa, you're free to do whatever you like..." because their minds have been configured to accept disorder and depravity as the conventional way of living. And also because they can go scot-free. Yeah. Where there's no law, there's no transgression.

How can someone be poor, dumb, stupid, loud, and arrogant baffles me daily. I don't seem to understand such a state of being.

They are so dumb that they are very proud of their characteristics and can't even fathom if there's any need for change. Definitely, change can't happen because those lost in sentiments will find introspection as migraine-inducing.

Thanks.

He trained to be president for 20 years. He's ready. He built Lagos. He has an eye for talent.

In the Chatham House interview, Tinubu refused to share his strategy with the audience because in his words "he didn't want Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar to copy him".

People opened their two naked eyes to vote and defend APC and Tinubu.

It was cringe.

Relevance is a key factor and predictable way to accomplish your desires. It makes you set your priorities right, assembling what matters at the top and the irrelevant at the bottom.

And as for dealing with evil, acting good is not enough. Good must be strong and carry force. And also multiply. Because evil is like a cancerous breeze.

RickyJesus:

You lack perspicacity and filled with western propaganda to undermine Russia and not even see where the global economy is tilting to, for your mind Russia is what you are using to shade somebody.

Did Buhari perform well? Of course not, the bone of contention is been generated from your tribalistic stand of accusing people unintelligence for voting him, it clearly shows lack of depth in your thought and simply showcase you as a pained tribalist.

Which former president has successfully turned Nigeria into a developed country, can we say the people that voted them are also intelligent? You try to rope pansophist and caveAdullam into your tribalist view but they clearly point out to you that it's not the person that's been voted for that's the entire issue but the system itself should be looked into, but no you choose to continue being a tribalistic bigot that you.

1. People voted en mass in 2015 for Buhari because the country at that time was still a mess based on the current condition. We only think it was good because now we're in a more pertinent state.

2. Nigerians wanted a change in the status quo in 2015. However, the problem was that the masses were too fast, too myopic, and too dumb to select Buhari as their president.

That's where Gerrard59 anger lies. Even my dad knew Buhari to be a monumental failure. He never for once liked him because he experienced his government as a head of state.

Nigerians thought that the war against indiscipline (WAI) was an idea of Buhari. Meanwhile, it was the brainchild of Tunde Idiagbon his deputy. They thought that will transcend into a tool that will be used by Buhari to take Nigeria to the promised land.

3. The painful thing about Buhari's government is that you can't confidently point out one significant thing he did in 8 years. No significant project. No significant bilateral engagement. No significant improvement in any sector of the economy.

The man was busy chewing gworo and groundnut in the spirit of the "Do I Look Like Give a fvck by Phyno" for complete 8 years.

4. Average APC voters didn't vote along tribal sentiment in 2015 except the Muslims and northerners. However, the southerners were largely in support of APC.

But in 2019 and 2023 elections, proved the stack illiteracy of Nigerians. It was during these elections that tribalism and religious affiliation shone like the sun that rose in the West.

5. I understand where both of you are coming from and driving at. However, continuing like this isn't any ounce of contribution to the solution to the current problem.

The nation is doomed! Such exchanges even make the whole doomsday happen faster.

Sigh.

donbrowser:


That's what gives him joy. Bitterness

Tensa isn't bitter. Not one bit.

He's just stating the obvious which directly shatters the hope we hold for our dear nation.

Just look at the state of affairs of the nation, and you'll know that he has not gored the ox of any man.

tensazangetsu20:


Yaradua didn't have good intentions for Nigeria. A lot of what we are suffering today is cause of yaradua. He reversed a lot of Obasanjos policies. Yaradua and buhari are the same stock of people.

Africa and Nigeria will never be great. The black man has been cursed by God to suffer until the world ends.

1. Definitely, all political leaders are paradoxical in terms of good and evil. Obasanjo did well in comparison to his successors, but when we settle down to start pinpointing his errors, we will discover his bag of worms, notably, the corruption of INEC.

2. Life is in cycles and phases. The UK, America, France, China, Singapore, Japan et al. we clamor for today have had their share of pain, economic meltdown, and corrupt officials. All it takes is to go down the memory lane as far back as the 10th century.

Citizens who experienced that phase will swear that their nations can never be great. But here we are today.

3. My optimism about the greatness of Africa isn't for anyone not to migrate when and where possible. Or that change is around the corner. No. Never. Change is still about 100+ years from now.

"Japaing" is very very sacrosanct.

4. However, not everyone will have the opportunity to migrate to better nations. And from there, generations to come will start figuring out ways to help themselves, their nations, and the continent.

5. I understand your pessimism about the state of Nigeria and Africa today. The trueness in which your pessimism lies may span for 5 - 10 centuries. But in the end, there will be a break and a road to prosperity. It's all in phases. It's just a matter of time.

Probably, the nation, Nigeria, may disintegrate into the formation of smaller nations. It's a future the current living human species will not experience.

Good morning, chief.

Hope you are well and ok.

pansophist:


I did not o, I don't even believe voting works. INEC is a fraud. It is not independent, as well as the judiciary.

1. This was part of my deep thoughts last night before going to bed. Happened after reading your subsequent posts to this.

2. The problem of Nigeria/Africa isn't a matter of who's the president. It's a systemic problem.

If a good president isn't bulletproof against that system, he will end up unfortunately before completing a tenure. A good example is the late President Yar Adua. Another example is the Late Mrs. Dora Akunyili, former NAFDAC chairman.

3. The above government officials had good plans for the nation. However, their blueprints weren't convenient with the corrupt system and its occupant elites. Their death isn't natural as the world wants us to see and accept. There was a back-to-back war with Dora.

4. That's why I'm of the opinion that a national protest will not work. Because how long can you protest? Will it overhaul current government officials? No way.

A significant example is the Endsars 2020 protest. The protest was against police brutality. The only change that accompanied that protest was a change in name from SARS to "SWAT"(will confirm the actual acronym). Just a change in name and uniform. But the men in uniform still remain.

Ironically, 4 years later, the citizens are still victims of police brutality and harassment even worse than before.

5. Nigerians need to focus on the electoral system. Anger should be channeled toward INEC. Because INEC is the mother of corruption in Nigeria. If her womb isn't terminated, she'll continue to give birth to corrupt and dysfunctional political leaders.

INEC bears no consequences of its perverse electoral system and, hence, allows electoral fraud. INEC offices, bosses, and workers need to suffer.

Instead of waiting for an interval of 4 years to allow INEC to conduct another useless election, the masses must pressure them to innovate a better way of voting and selecting a leader of their choice. Only then should they continue to vote. Else, the cycle of corruption and poverty continues.

6. Another problem is that the average Nigerian is selfish. All talks and speeches on patriotism are when they are lacking and need help or connections. Once they get their fill and are satiated, they don't care if the nation perishes and flows in the gutter.

7. However, there are some good elites who really want to make the country work e.g. Peter Obi. But unlike Peter Obi, after considering the state of the nation + how it will affect their business and income flow they just rescind and mind their business. + the fact that many of them are a branch of the corrupt system.

8. The poor masses can only shout and wail. Their complaints must be backed up by a powerful force + good elites. And the elites must be in their numbers. Rescuing Nigeria is a war. A serious war. Every man will come prepared. It is a war against good and evil.

9. Revolution can only take place when it involves every member of society aside from the corrupt officials. There's nowhere only peasants were able to cause and effect a revolution.

This was what happened during the 2012 petroleum subsidy protest. Bola Ahmed Tinubu, Pastor E. Adeboye, Wole Soyinka, et al. were at the forefront with the peasants to hold grounds with the government.

10. I don't know what Peter Obi has in mind in 2027, but he will still fail if he's unable to hold the jugular of INEC + the judiciary. These sectors are where the problem of Nigeria lies. Solve them and you'll take care of corrupt officials and their useless policies.

Nigeria/Africa will be great. Very great. However, not in our generation or the generation to come. The best we can do is to talk and lay the foundation. But we'll keep postponing it further if we fold our hands and just keep talking. Actions are required now.

Sigh.

You know why.

Javascript is both the maker and destroyer of men.

You'll like it anyway.

adonainana:


Just try and learn the basic and learn it well

There is a way you learn JavaScript that you begin to understand what a particular code of JavaScript is saying

It’s not a sprint but a continuous marathon. Build projects everyday even if it’s table row and table projects . A project is a project

The harder you keep working hard studying it the easier other things in the programming language becomes easier to you such as how to use js libraries to use react and frameworks such as Vue angular and the rest

Vanilla JavaScript is not a bad idea to start just never give up and never relent

Eventually you will get the full gist

Plenty kudos for you chief.

So how come you don't show your face always?

You really walk your talk.

Nice one.

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.

PS: Your questions have been answered in the quote. Just calm down, breathe in, breathe out, then read till you answer your question yourself.

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.

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.

Chairman, if you are having problem contacting me, let me know. Perhaps we may device other means to establish contact. My email is ventodiablo@gmail.com, I kindly await your email anytime you are free. I could have dropped my number here, but you know I am secretive with my identity. Cheers!

Sent.

Well done, chief.

I think you are referring to this post of mine:

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.

I sent you a DM.

Check your inbox/header section.

Thanks.

No cast me, bro. I will give reviews in three months time after extensive use.

"na money we all dey find na".

If it's something you think I can add to my portfolio, please, share. Let me follow you and earn in pounds and dollars.

Btw, I'm still trying to reach a post of yours where you recommended some mathematics textbooks.

Please, help me with a better recommended list.

Perhaps, I might send a DM.

Thanks.

I finally got a laptop; it's brand new. It costs 850k and it is worth it. Thanks for your advices.

Sweet laptop.

Martin, it's obvious you want to **** the World Bank.

Will love to read reviews in the future.

Nice one, man.

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.
