Great input. You write so well. Writing 20 books in 20 hours won't be a challenge to you. If you get stressed, you switch to ChatGPT.

Thanks.

You are the master.

You lead. We follow.

No jokes.

"abeg gimme me mentee ticket naw"

This is kinda funny.

In my mind: she want to quickly secure the bag should in case he didn't come out alive.

Anyway, this is a prove that nothing can stop both of them from getting married at that specific time. Both just want to prove their love for each other.

But there shouldn't be haste since they've known each other.

Happy married life, though.

Solid post.

I knew you were preparing something "hooge" when you were absent for some time.

We will have goals to fulfill till death. Knowing how to plan and set the right goals and placing mediums on achieving them is key to long-term happiness. All goals can't be fulfilled, but the ones we are able will be great contributions to mankind.

What stops the modern average man from achieving his goals is the basics of survival. They include food, shelter, constant electricity, and data.

Once these factors are present throughout learning and self-development, many will achieve their goals in a much quicker time than expected.

It will not be easy to pull along when you're still struggling with the basics. It creates hurdles, takes a large chunk of time to figure out, and keeps you distracted.
This is the cause of loss of morale and motivation after 2/3 months of relentless pursuit. At a point, you just break down and say "Fvck it". Then slowly, retract to your former position or remain stagnant.

Setting goals is important. But we must consider controllable factors that hinder us from achieving our goals. If these factors are fixed and optimized, moving onward will not be explicitly sleek, however, maneuvering will be easy.

It takes deliberate consciousness to write down goals. However, it takes great faith to remain firm when things get tougher in the process of achieving set goals.
Those with strong foundations + provisions will survive compared to those who have nothing.

If a rich man's son has the same goals as you and + the same attitude to hit the bull's eye, he will succeed and move faster than you that struggle for your basic needs.

Inevitable factors are there. They both limit and propel. But we must make do with what we have and in whatever positive way we can.

I have always had a mental note of my goals. Using this week to conclude the last part of the 2023 resolution. Insha Allah.

However, with the gleanings from this thread, I'm moved to convert mental notes into physical notes for 2024 goals.

PS: SideChick accountability app looks promising. Because you can have access to other accountable partners. So when your partner is absent, the app is present.

PS: Can no longer find SideChick app on play store.

So, I'm sticking to Productive Habit tracker.

HabitNow is my second choice.

Well done, ILegendd.

I know OP belongs to the camp of "it goes both ways. It's vice-versa. What's good for the goose is also good for the gander".

You all think that inter-sexual dynamics are words and synonyms. Anyway, your topic even proved it wrong.

Back in the hunter-gatherer's days exchange wasn't based on fiat. Here was how women benefitted from men and even up till today.

Being married or in a relationship:

1. Brings the woman respect from all and sundry. It separates her from the girls and puts her in the league of women regardless of her age.

2. Placed the woman on the same level as the man. A peasant girl can become a queen because of her marriage to a king.

3. Extends the hands of the man to her immediate and extended family. For protection and provision. Strongmen are a sought-after species of humans.

4. Protects the woman from danger and predators. That's why women don't like weak men. Because women are weak and need a stronger force - masculinity to protect them.

5. To help her do difficult work. Men can do all women's jobs. But not vice-versa.

So, if by chance she comes across difficult work, her husband or spouse is there to help her.

6. Family name. Women don't bear their husband's name for nothing. A name associated with status is an identity that sets her apart when she steps outside.

7. She can decide to be nothing. But having a man will grant most of her desires. You've heard of "stay-at-home mum or full-time housewife, right?"

8. Reproduction is expedient for both. However, a man can cater for a woman and her child. And not vice-versa, else, chaos in the family.

Even in the absence of money, the man ought to defend them. Thereby extending the lineage of the woman.

9. Men bear the burden of proof. There is hope that a man can become a recognizable force, and he must work hard because it's expedient for him.

It's not to prove society right, but that a man feels worthless when he is at the bottom of life - lacks power, authority, and resources.

Nobody expects anything tangible from women. Only let her be gentle, kind, and feminine. Unfortunately, these are characteristics of nice guys who are tortured by women and men.

Being with the man will compel him to do and become better, which benefits her too.

10. The presence of a man in a woman's life proves her feminine power. The woman who isn't able to "tame" a man is a woman who will suffer shame ridicule, and bullying.

Summarily: a woman can't be strong enough for herself. The man is her stronghold and defense.

Thanks.

I agree with increasing the value of Nigerian goods.

However, is there another way to achieve this without increasing prices considering the economy?

Waiting for a response iLegendd

Increasing the price of any product only works in a monopolistic market. That's why Aliko Dangote is the king of the cement industry in Nigeria.

Give other producers of cement license to make cement and see the current price drops down in a two-week market window. You'll also see an increase in quantity and quality.

Give licenses to modular refineries and see that the cost of producing fuel is not as Dangote posits in his books.

The market is all about competition. The goal of all manufacturers is to make profits. Increasing your price only drives consumers away to where the price is cheaper. And you'll lose if that price meets quality.

Stripped Nâked Once and for All — She Came to Defend Them [Picture]

This matter tie wrapper, but make we strip am nâked once and for all.

I made a post yesterday complaining about fake Hollandia yoghurt. Someone said I'm de-markerting the company.

Another commenter came to my defence and said:



Another commenter, a lady, got upset because he is blaming it on innocent Aba boys, so she replied him with:



I like the fact that she came to defend her people and here is my reply to the situation of we Nigerians looking down on our local products, why it happens, and the solution to it.

This mentality is because made in Nigeria are good, but inexpensive. Nigerians equate it to low quality.

Even though most Nigerians can only afford low quality products, we don't like things we buy to be perceived as low quality or inferior to what rich Nigerians are using and posting on social media.

To psychologically make Nigerians prefer Nigerian products just as most Nigerians prefer Nigerian electric cables and Nigerian music over other countries, MAKE IT EXPENSIVE AND UNAFFORDABLE FOR NIGERIANS FOR AT LEAST 5-10 YEARS.

There was a time Makossa and American music were forced on us and Awilo Longomba and co. were legends in Nigeria even though we didn't understand 98% of what he was saying.

Why did we accept it?

1. The rhythm (danceable and foreign/new and it's fun)
2. The erótic videos/naughty dances (arousing — lots of big ass wearing tight leggings shaking in some of his videos — men love this.)
3. And the FORCE (aggressive marketing)

The reason we respect our musicians today is because of (similar traits) the rhythm, the fun and the innuendos, but most especially the money they make per show and how the rest of the world has accepted them.

Normally, most Nigerians see who speaks pidgin English regularly as uneducated, broke, and inferior.

But since rich guys, men and rich children like Cuppy, Davido and co. who were born in the US speak pidgin at any given opportunity, they've attached respect and value to such humility.

Even international interviews, Burna Boy, David, Wiz, etc. will say one or two things in pidgin and you'll see interviewers blushing or smiling.

Now, Nigerians see those rich people who are comfortable speaking pidgin anywhere in the world as humble and smart. You see, something we used to dislike, now we love it.

The reprogramming is: if a rich and expensive-looking person could speak pidgin with confidence and doesn't care what anyone thinks, then it's worth it, so I can speak it too.

This is exactly what Nigerian product manufacturers should do. Make Nigerian products more expensive than the foreign ones with the reason that the Nigerian one has better quality and more durable.

With this, we'll keep buying the foreign and cheap ones, but when a Nigerian pulls up with a Made In Nigeria car or product, everybody will be murmuring "Oppression oppression. This guy get money o. Him dey drive Innoson. Chaii God when?"

When you pull out with a branded shoe by Emeka Int'l Shoe, they'll say, "Omoh, see the shoe this guy dey wear — this shoe fit buy you two Toyota Camry, but one person dey wear am for leg. Chai! God when o!"

It's not about the product, but the value you placed on it. Italians place so much value on their shoes, cars, clothes, etc.

The Germans placed so much value on their guns. The Japanese place so much value on their vehicles and accessories. Americans, the the same.

The only thing Nigerians placed so much value on about Nigeria is Nigerian doctors, Nigerian music, Nigerian jollof, Nigerian mom and Nigerian electric cable. Every other thing, we look down on them.

To change this mindset of looking down on our things is to make them expensive, flashy, and unaffordable, then find a way to sell it to whites and Asians.

The moment we see foreigners and only rich Nigerians rocking our Naija products we can't afford, we'll immediately place value on it.

Every poor Nigerian wants to use what foreigners and rich Nigerians use so that they can look rich.

Example: iPhone, Apple devices, Tesla, Mercedes, etc.

Most Nigerians are comfortable looking rich even though they're swimming in poverty. It's sad, but the truth.

This is why I like people like VeryDarkMan who doesn't care about looking rich. He doesn't need validation.

I remember I'm one of those people who used to think pidgin is for the uneducated. I was shocked my when my girl, at the time, an Asian girl, always beg me to speak pidgin when I'm talking to her so that she'll learn, but I refused.

Guess what? When my Naija flatmates are talking in the living room, she'll go sit in their midst just to enjoy their sweet accents and pidgin.

I didn't know something I wasn't proud of (because I was brainwashed into seeing pidgin as something for the uneducated) is actually what this beautiful and rich girl was dying to learn.

Since then, I realized slavery is mental — we just need mass reprogramming of the youths.

We are the ones keeping ourselves from growing. We are waiting for foreigners to approve our things first before we can say, "Okay, foreigners have approved and validated it to be good, so it's good now."

The moment we approve our things by ourselves and FORCE it down foreigners' throat just the same way America is forcing every nation to allow their men bend their fellow men, the better.

If America could force something that bad on everyone, why can't we accept our products, then force it down on everyone's throat just as we're doing with music?

See, it's all about reprogramming the youth with aggressive marketing. I bet you, there is a certain music you don't like, but TikTok, radio, people around you, or TV forced it on you and today it's stuck in your head and it's among your favourite songs. Exactly! Na so e suppose be.

Note: It's not about forcing people to buy, but making it appear larger than life, expensive, flashy, trendy, global, but only rich people can afford it.

Burna Boy is an example of someone who carries himself as LARGER THAN LIFE and I love it.

This is the approach we need to use in promoting our goods. You can't act timid or inferior and want to convince anyone.

On the other hand, Tuface Idibia uses the humility approach to get what he wants, but to make Nigeria great, the Burna's approach is the better option. That is what most influential countries use.

In this digital age, there are more poor people online and they can be influenced easily.

Rich foreigners and Nigerians posting videos of themselve rocking Nigerian products that are way too expensive will help in reprogramming the youth to work so hard to buy that Naija product because it's being portrayed as cool and rich.

I'm always happy when I see Naija made clothes female celebrities wear to red carpets and they tag the price as 120 million. E dey sweet me.

I know it costs $500 or less to produce, but the maker feels the time spent to make it is 120 million. These people have started the reprogramming and I LOVE IT.

One small Italian man will run to China, design a watch for $50, produce only 20 (and call it limited edition) register a brand with a French or an Italian name to make it sound cool, then slam it a price of $170 million.

They give 5 for free to 5 famous celebrities from different countries as a gift. Now, they start promoting it aggressively as they brag that it a limited edition and only Jay-Z, Davido, Obama, this and that have it and only 7 left and out of these 7, 5 have already been bought by some unnamed celebrities and ready to be shipped.

Immediately, Hushpuppy will want one from prison and before he could get it, Mopha has already bought the remaining two for $240 million, then comes online to flaunt it and oppress you and Hush.

The Chinese company that manufactured it for $50 will just be by the side laughing to the bank as they receive extra alert from the Italian brain behind the brand.

If the brand refuses to comply with the Chinese manufacturer, that same company or another Chinese company will start producing the fake version and selling it for $69 on AliExpress.

The truth is, it's not fake, the quality was just reduced a little bit because it will now cost them only $10 to produce one this time around.

Chinese people don't like suing foreign companies — they'll just flood the market with exact replica of that product. After all, the original version is Made In China, but in the body, it will bear Italy.

Portable's manager, Blessing CEO, some Nigerian and American celebrities, etc. will order it from Alibaba and flaunt it on social media. Fight will erupt between their fans and haters on its originality.

All these manipulation is to keep poor people busy online fighting as they watch rich people flaunt branded and expensive products.

The rich will keep manipulating everyone and they'll keep getting richer. You think Séun feels bad people are fighting on Nairaland? No. It's called engagement and it's what generates money.

When these poor people make money, they would IMMEDIATELY want to purchase these brands they've been brainwashed with as something for the rich and famous to FEEL respected too. The game is about FEELINGS.

If you can control your feelings, you can control anything and you'll be wealthy. Sadly, feelings is the hardest thing for most to control.

So, you don blow, now na your turn to splash on those expensive brands.

In no time, another brand will come up with a more expensive item or the old brand you're attached to will manufacture a better version with a bigger pricetag and the cycle continues.

You'll keep buying that product because you're emotionally invested in the brand because of the prestige it accords you.

In summary, Nigerian manufacturers should manufacture quality products and make it unaffordable for some years why doing aggressive global marketing just like the music industry is doing.

Some Nigerian music I know today, the first time I heard them were from an Oyibo's mouth on TikTok. Let's do the same for our products.

Let's force the drink on foreigners (as Awilo did to us) and with time, stubborn Nigerians who refused to like Nigerian products will open their mouth to get a sip because everyone globally is sipping it.

Even the oversabi classy Naija girls that don't speak pidgin are dancing to Naija pidgin songs. Why? They've been forced to. Them no get choice.

A time will come when they'll be fully converted and won't need to be manipulated into loving their own — they'll be bragging about it as they currently do with Nigerian music.

Go online and you'll see Nigerians bragging about having the best music, dance, jollof and cable in Africa and in the world.

Mehn! Nigerians are so arrogant when they succeed, but timid when things haven't materialized.

So, Nigerian manufacturers, this is for you. It's time to reprogram the youth because if you don't do it, other countries will do it and make the younger generation like only foreign products, foreign football, foreign movies, foreign women, etc. In fact, if the condom they want to wear isn't foreign, they'll think it will burst.

It's not totally inferiority complex, but total manipulation by other countries (especially America and Italy). They manipulate you into loving their products as original and regard yours as knock-off.

Last last, most of the current luxury brands are produced in China, but branded and owned by a non-Chinese.

So, to that lady, you have a point for defending Aba people. To the person you quoted, he also has a point for calling Aba people because you know they do it more than others, but this isn't a prerogative to label or make them feel like counterfeiters.

To Aba people, make you try apply the tips on this post in your business. I know you people are wise, but it's time to be wiser.

1. I disagree with your hypotheses. It's wrong.

However, I understand your point: you see the appreciation and demand for goods based on status.

2. Of course, luxury matters to humans.

It signifies high status: rich and powerful.

Hence, the average human will want to have what the rich want. And when they've all got this luxury, it becomes a common thing; the rich get upset and move to another. And the cycle continues.

3. However, the market doesn't work based on status. If it were so, there wouldn't be many different brands with their different products.

The hypothesis you're posing is only possible in a communist state. Doing so will limit the utility of scarce resources and create a monopolistic market that will be used by manufacturers to serve the rich.

It will create stagnancy and little to no economic innovations.

By extension, you're breeding more bureaucrats and making it possible for businesses to be owned by (corrupt) politicians and their likes. Because they have access to plenty of power and money.

4. Whether the cost of production is low and you're going to use an advert to promote it and sell it at a high price doesn't matter.

The fact is that your product is only for the rich. This can lead to the exploitation of the rich, waste of funds, and mismanagement of scarce resources.

5. The essence of every manufacturer is to make maximum profits. This is possible by making quality products + at a cheaper price affordable to all + on a macro-scale.

That's why Toyota has the highest car sales compared to Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley, Benz, etc. Ditto for Tecno compared to iPhones in the African market.

6. When the price of your commodity is high, people will look for alternatives. And that's where the free market comes in place.

It comes down to efficiency, functionality, and quality. If your competitors can deliver on that, they will have more customers which leads to more sales and profits.

7. That's why foreign goods are in demand by the locals. Your advert will announce you for a transient time. But it's the quality of your products that will keep them in the mouths of consumers.

8. So, instead of advising local manufacturers to increase the price of their products which is very bad advice in a free market, tell them to make their goods rank in a similar standard to their counterparts. Because your competitors are active.

Or better still, focus on comparative advantage to boost your economy.

9. Government support and policies also play a bigger role in the growth, development, and sustenance of local industries. Where there's none, they will remain as infant and grow slowly.

Even if the government is harsh on imports and expatriates, you'll still see the locals preferring them. It's about quality standards at the end.

Thanks.

Baba Cave, I dey gallant o.

Na you dey bother to reply them na. I don't bother to explain because they don't wanna learn but to just attack and rant. So I prod and goad them and BOOM, they yell and scream while I sit back and laugh my head off. It's entertaining really, you should try it.

You're very wicked.

Further response is for the sake of readers.

Left for me I can't argue with people whose IQ isn't more than the maximum hours of the day.

Well done, chief.

Why you dey reply that small chicken. The day I saw her picture was when I knew I was interacting with a toddler. NL sha.
She is not interested in what you have to say but to argue blindly. I think these girls need to get laid. Their aggression is off the charts these days.🙂

I saw her "mumu" game already.

They disagree with a post. Fine.

But where are their rebuttals? None.

The funny thing is that they don't understand the post. Not at all. But just feel like talking.

Someone who understands your post and disagrees will come up with good rebuttals to counter each point.

My reply was to add more points and clarification. Yet she couldn't get it.

Turn off was when she said, "I should define boring".

You can imagine.

They continually prove everything said about women daily in an attempt to prove themselves different.

"How far, Lumi?"

Nigga I salute u, did you write this long epistle by yourself or you copied and paste

I have better content than this. You can check my profile.

The average Nigerian, like you, is always perplexed + becomes cynical when they come across unfamiliar contents or innovations.

I know the reason. The average Nigerian is dumb and has a low IQ. Recent IQ data has it that the average Black IQ has depleted from 85 - 65. Which is far from the average of 100.

By the way, about 3 years ago, I was cross-checked by a group of people like you for plagiarism. They found none.

You can carry out your investigation. But take note of the timestamps in case someone has "copied and pasted" on other platforms like they always do.

Your applause isn't genuine. Anyway, I appreciate it.

Thanks.

Magnoliaa:
And the title made it seem as if being 'boring' is an intrinsic/follow come/natural part of a woman.

So it is not that women are boring, but that they are boring to you or they find you boring or you you find women boring.

Reasons that are simply out of anyone's 'control'.

Anyway.

Women are boring.

And that doesn't mean that women are not expressive.

Because women deal more with people. Men deal more with things. It's nuanced.

It's trained women like therapists, nurses, doctors, psychologists, teachers, etc. that are very expressive. The average woman isn't.

Women are boring because they can't stimulate and sustain conversations and interactions.

Women are highly expressive in places where you find men. Examples: clubs, stadiums, etc.

Women are selective when it comes to people. Despite women's interest in people, they are less empathic or reserve their empathy for close allies. Unlike men who demonstrate empathy on a broader scale and are more sacrificial.

Being an interesting person has to do with a high level of empathy. Women are narcissistic; narcissistic people can't be empathic. Because they want attraction towards them. And those that seek attraction rather than give it tend to be boring.

Summarily: women are only interested in people who are interested in them. Men are interested in friends and strangers. Hence, hardly an average man steps out without whispering some romantic lyrics to a woman he hasn't seen in his life. For this to happen with women there must be an established form of familiarity.

Thanks.

Why (Nigerian) women are boring:

https://www.nairaland.com/7934750/reasons-why-nigerian-women-boring

This is a response to this thread:https://www.nairaland.com/7934513/been-meeting-wrong-ladies-it

My first response: https://www.nairaland.com/7934513/been-meeting-wrong-ladies-it/1#127376013

Surprise. Surprise: This thread has a bonus point.

All (Nigerian) men have experienced this phenomenon. Except those that are strictly introverted or haven't requested a date.

There are plenty of factors underlying the unresponsiveness of women. Factors can emanate from you or them.

1. Women are more open and emotional to men closer to them. Proximity is how you get the better side of women + become aware of their dark sides.

Before a woman can travel from point A to point B to see you through a long distance you must have first created that emotional attachment.

But why do women travel long distances to meet strangers?

This is based on economies. They do it because of money. A prostitute can't become emotionally attached to her client. If there exists any, it is a facade. By the way, prostitutes have men they love genuinely + freely fvck them.

The evolutionary background: women by nature are weak. They need strong men to provide for them and protect them. A stranger can't be trustworthy. Only men in their community will they submit to because they've known over time.

Sex to women is more of security than pleasure. Sex for men is more of pleasures and ego - the boast of a harem.

So prostitutes are because of the money. Because if there is an availability of men to pay their bills and fulfill all their sincere and nonsensical fantasies, prostitution will be non-existent.

Therefore, in rich and developed nations, women engaged in romance for the sake of romance, love, and emotional attachment.
While in poor and underdeveloped nations women leverage romance to upgrade their socio-economic status and creep out of poverty and deprivation.

2. She might be in a relationship.

3. She's in a tarrying bad mood. And can't willingly share with you because you are a stranger. With time she may. But as a man, you'll become impatient because by nature you're not programmed to wait and beg for sex. You just want to hit and move to the next.

4. She doesn't like you. Every woman has a man they like or fantasize about. If you are not up to that standard they will ignore you.

5. Appearance. Your looks may not be ranked as acceptable. Using that metric, they set you aside and wouldn't want you to bother them.

6. Absence of flamboyance at first meet.

Women are emotional. So they can easily be cajoled by the presence of flashiness. This again is due to their desire for security. That's why celebrities can score many women + have multiple baby mamas at will.

If you don't express or show flamboyance women won't take you seriously.

Only well-trained women who are self-conscious and disciplined follow a man due to his ambitions, character, and intelligence. These women are the outliers.

7. It's a mind game. Women don't want to appear cheap. So they'll play the delayed and boring game till they know if you are genuine or not. They don't want to feel cheap.

8. Other men are on the radar. Some of these men are 10 times better than you. Some of these men you are 10 times better than.

This trooping of men of all ages and categories is the pleasure of all women. Some of the men are making bidding you can't or haven't. They fill her with hopes and promises. Her DM and privacy are a cluster of men persuading her into a romantic relationship.

Don't expect her to leave them for you easily. You are not the first. And more are behind you.

9. They want a long stream of persuasions and promises before they accept your proposal. Until you do this they will continue to remain boring.

10. Even though the average woman is slightly more intelligent than the average man, one can observe that women don't bother themselves with meaningful topics or engage in mentally stimulating discourse.

Because women dwell on the material and emotional realm. Like the average person, gratification must be instant and easy.

These women are boring because they lack exposure. What they know comprises of media gossip and frivolous demands of men.

Women are more concerned about sexual and relationship talks because that's where their power resides.

From the above factors, the only one you have control over is your appearance. So, before you step out look good, smell nice, and talk well. Be happy and jovial. Be humorous and social. Whether they accept or reject you becomes none of your business. Just do your part.

Getting women is a game of numbers. The more you step out and interact, the more women you'll encounter and get hooked by a number of them.

Meanwhile, as a man, you must go for a woman who likes you genuinely. These women you don't need to cajole or convince. They just like you + want to be in love with you. They will make you wish and pray for an eternal romantic relationship.

Have you seen secondary and university lovers? That's what I'm talking about. Genuine love.

Thanks.

Meanwhile, as a man, you must go for a woman who likes you genuinely. These women you don't need to cajole or convince. They just like you + want to be in love with you. They will make you wish and pray for an eternal romantic relationship.

Have you seen secondary and university lovers? That's what I'm talking about. Genuine love.

Thanks.

It is still actually free. There are exceptions to such payments. The payments are mostly aimed at folks from the developed world, and those who are working.

So if your location is anywhere in a lower-income country (like most of Africa), it will be waved. I know a Nigerian girl there. Also, you can start studying before paying, and you will get the opportunity to meet other students there who don't pay and ask.

But the payment that everyone must pay is the one-time application fee which is 60 USD.

Please, boss, help us confirm with the Nigerian girl if there are other payments aside from the $60 application fee.

Let me further my investigations then. And register ASAP.

Thanks, big chief.

Go get a BSC degree in Computer science from the University of the People in California. It's free, and you can complete it earlier than four years if you take it seriously.

in four years, you will be four years older, so grab a degree along the way. YOu can study from anywhere, and work while studying. You only need a laptop, internet and drive.

From the website, it's no longer free.

It's funny to see that the most deceptive - women, fall for easy deceit.

Women are deceptive because they are naturally weak, in terms of physical and muscular strength. In the animal kingdom, to survive, species either become a fearful predator.

Or, If they are sought-after prey, they develop adaptive features or behaviors to escape and survive.

Humans' ancestral wiring is positioned for surviving in the wild, where circumstances are unpredictable, and must be alert, active, and vivacious in case of impromptu situations that threaten their survival.

Women had developed the art of manipulation and deception for such an environment because they lack the strength to fight, unlike men who are ready to go to war at the sight of threats and clangs of metals of destruction.

That psyche imbued in women is still active today. Even if we are in a better environment with lesser violence compared to our ancestral/hunter-gatherer days, women have leveraged the art of deception to scale through their problems and have caused men to fall into their whims.

A grimaced face, tears, display of innocence are common tools in their toolset. Humans are first emotional before logical. And since these tools work on our emotions, the woman can easily be excused for her vices. (And proven guilty under scrutiny investigations).

However, the most deceitful are prey to deceptions because they're lost in lies, and can't determine the truth and be convinced by it. Hence, despite womanly manipulative techniques she still falls for the worst amongst men. And the lies of the sisterhood.

Being able to choose a good man is the work of a strong patriarchal identity and community work. Left alone, women deceive and are also victims of deceit.

Men falls for womanly deceitful trap before coming to an understanding of women. The ones who manage to escape have already been counseled by loving female relations + have drawn from the experience of the father figure in their lives or the brotherhood.

Under circumstances where logic and strength fail men, manipulation will be leveraged. However, narcissistic men are cunning to a disadvantaged point while benevolent men are cunning to raise and protect a community. Women's cunning is based on solipsism.

Toke Makinwa if she's truly part of the delegates is there to cash out. It's her business. Her lifestyle. She's gonna earn at least a decade's salary of the average civil servant in the few nights she spends there. What more can a woman ask of life?

The thing about evil people is that they don't know when to stop. Each section they feast on grants them the energy to move further and have a larger chunk till they eat everything and jump to another. They are cancerous. They are parasitic.

And that's why it is stupid to hold them accountable by preaching morality or being good to them. They don't listen. Their conscience is sealed. They lack empathy. Anything that will become an obstacle to their benefits must be quickly deracinated.

The more they feast, the more powerful they become. Hence, you see the outright extravagance of the Tinubu-led APC government. They don't care. The masses can lament, murmur, and wail till infinity. They don't give a fvck.

Why?

Because they have the impunity to do so. They also have those who ought to serve them punitive actions in their cupboards and pockets.

Having a long list of delegates to the COP28 is raw embezzlement of the national treasures. Since they are close to the national purse they think all is well, which led them to siphon public funds.

Nigerians are still far from their breaking point. Woe betides those corrupt politicians and leaders who will be caught on that day. When the blood of the innocents, young, and old will bring cleansing to the land.

Until then, let's enjoy our pains and penury as we watch our oppressors celebrate in milk, meat, and honey. And listen to the sounding cymbals of their minions who sing their praises day and night.

We will definitely reach somewhere.

Sigh.

Both the rich and poor reproduce for the sole purpose of survival and continuation in the genetic pool.

The goal of all living species is to survive into future generations. Hence, you see both plants and animals having features, behaviors, or structures to enable this.

Survival and reproduction can't happen if the organism lacks the resources and environment necessary for it. So, every struggle is geared toward attaining the facilities and materials; structures, and behaviors for that purpose.

Reproduction is a game of gambling to the poor man. He lacks the basics to ensure his survival and the survival of his kids.

So what does the poor man do? Reproduce as many kids as possible. Why?

Should in case one child die in childhood, other kids can still have a chance to survive till adulthood and reproduce.

Also, the child who survives and by chance becomes successful and resourceful can help his poor family.

Remember: the point is to pass genes and remain in the genetic pool.

Those alive today, are because of their ability to carry their ancestral gene from yester years. Ditto for those who will be alive in the next 100, 1000, 1 million years from now.

Reproduction is not a game of gambling for the rich because they have the resources and have optimized the environment necessary for their survival and that of their children.

Instead of having many children, and scattering resources, they have fewer kids and expend the resources on them. Doing so guarantees that the children will grow into adulthood and be able to reproduce kids who will continue to spread their genes and make their ancestral line relevant in the genetic pool.

Of course, with every rule there are exceptions. However, exceptions prove the rule. In this case:

Some poor people reproduce fewer kids. Because raising many kids without the necessary basics is despair. Rather, they try their possible best to invest in only 2, 3, or 4 kids.

Some rich people reproduce many kids because they have the resources to take care of them.

There is no amount of education you can offer a poor man to erase his sexual desires: to have sex and to reproduce. In matters of biology, it's all about survival. Except by his volition, he chooses not to. Or, he is an eunuch by will or circumstance. Ditto for the woman.

Also, there are always problems that pervade society as a result of kids not being properly taken care of. And most of these kids are from poor homes. To curtail these negative impacts in our society, the government and people must put in place, the right resources necessary for survival and prosperous living.

Note: these thoughts are neither deliberate nor conscious. The poor man doesn't sit down and say he wants plenty of children. The rich man doesn't sit down and say he wants fewer kids.
It comes down to human evolutionary wiring. It's a human biological imperative. It just happens.
This doesn't mean that human intellect has no role to play - which are the decisions we make when we hit the road.

Thanks.

The letter "g" in your moniker is silent. And I know why by just reading your post.

Sigh.

Acts of benevolence received should be seen as a divine orchestration that must be cherished.

Even in business deals gratitude is expected not to talk of what is being received on a platter of gold with little or no work from your end.

Benevolence is a privilege, not a right. Being entitled to constant inflow or being infuriated due to inconsistent supply reeks not only of a foul entitlement mentality but arrogance and the height of foolishness.

Nobody owes anybody anything. Though charity is vital. Assistance toward one another causes growth and progress. Humans depend on one another to make ends meet. Nothing happens in isolation or when the chain is broken.

Even in the height of so-called "self-independence or self-dependency" there's still a need for concatenation to reach the apogee.

However, in the game of life, individualism comes first as each person is concerned about their survival. Hence, will play the game that best suits them and ensure their survival.

The nature of the game may be moral, amoral, immoral, or a potpourri of each.
The moral game leads to benevolence; from its superfluous those at the lower end benefit.

An amoral game skews towards a positive-sum as benefits flow on both ends or result in minimal harm - as in business deals.

The immoral game is negative-sum - this is the case when the game of survival is rough and tough and everything and anything must be done by the individual to survive even though it means trampling on others.

So when someone goes out to show benevolence it shouldn't be seen as a compulsory act he must consistently perform. However, the earth needs consistency in benevolence for sustainable living.

You must know that your survival is solely dependent on you and the type of game you're willing and ready to play.

Different factors lead to success or failure. However, certain verisimilitudes assure success and failures which must be considered to ensure success for survival or avoid failures that cause despondency.

When someone shows you love be grateful. Gratitude matter. Because the universe has a mind of its own, and what you've just received is by orchestration, an opportunity that may be the last of its kind.

Appreciate good people and their performance.

There is no way you can love your job while hating your boss. Except in organizations where supervisors or managers are being transferred after some time. But before that time, you'll temporarily dislike your job since your effects on your superior or boss are minimal.

The corporate place is where both employers and employees pretend to love themselves and their jobs. Every smile, gesture, and cool moment is a facade. They don't love themselves. However, they must tolerate each other to get the job done.

Employers want to boss around, call the shots, and make sure employees are subservient.

Employees don't want to feel controlled. They want to do their job their way which is distinct from the interruptions of their bosses.

The corporate place is similar to a jungle: the lion eats deer, and deer eat grass. If you're not smart or can't leverage, you'll either end up as the deer or grass. The lion - the employer - is the king of the jungle.

However, for any organization to survive, there must be unity and cooperation among every individual responsible for the operation of the company.

Lastly...

On leadership:

Many are interested in the gains of leadership while oblivious to the obligations.

By the way, the duties of leadership cancel the gains except for those who see it as a means of pandering their egos and refilling their rapacity.

Leadership is hard work.

The demands of leadership are physical as the leader must be in charge of the dissemination of information, administration of affairs, and guidance of members to reach their goals.

The leader doesn't have a break. To take a day off is tantamount to collapsing the whole system.

This doesn't mean that the 24/7 presence of the leader makes him an egoist, as his followers should be able to run the affairs in his absence.

His presence is expedient because he's the mantle bearer - the Queen ant + leading worker. He sees the vision clearer.

Followers might know the objectives, are important components, however, can't lead well.

They are parts of the body controlled by the brain for specific functions. The head - leader - on top, unifies the whole body.

They need one another. However, the leader comes first.

The duties of the leader are also grounded in faith. His greatest fear is the inability to reach the end.

Failure always results in backlash irrespective of his past deeds. Only success in reaching the goal or scoring higher points can save his reputation at the end of the day.

It's this that also makes leaders egoist.

Their fight isn't to protect their ego, however, their reputation and acceptance are tied to it.

He's a coach who expects his players to play the game as figured out and arranged in his mind.

The leader who puts his ego first makes a mess of the whole place.

The wise leader is conservative about his ego, leveraging it with that of his followers/players to score a goal.

The goal is winning and not a show of ego.

When one sees the throne of leadership from afar, it sparkles.

But getting closer, it's more tough work than commanding treasures from afar and controlling people at will.

The leader is like his followers, differences are his position and the bearer of the vision. He works.

Hence, a good leader can be able to empathize with his followers and determine their foibles, strengths, and weaknesses.

Only the egocentric leader sees his followers as a staircase, using their heads as his feast table while dropping crumbs before their feet.

People who envisage being a leader desire so because of the mirage gains. When they get there, they struggle for plenty of benefits which leads to a tug of war + holes of chaos. They don't see that they are ineffective in leadership because they are confident in their arrogance.

Leadership involves patience: with the followers & remaining on the journey.

It involves sacrifice. The leader gives more. This serves as an example to the followers to open their minds.

It involves constant alteration to suit the needs of time & human behavior.

Classifying yourself as a beta male, alpha male, sigma male, this male, that male, etc. doesn't matter.

Though, each has its characteristics and the tendency for the individual man to choose one route and act the way he desires.

What truly matters and counts: is that you're the male or the man that's fitted to handle every situation. Not being a god per se. But the man who can make the best of decisions and proffer solutions. The man who understands every dynamics and how to play along.

PoliteActivist:
The flaw in your thesis is that you fail to take into account that much of human behavior (giving included) is motivated by fear (sometimes quite camouflaged fear but fear nonetheless)

Fear isn't the basis of human behavior. Survival and longevity are.

That's why there are tonnes of innovations, inventions, and discoveries. To make life easier and better.

Of course, they experience threat along the way, and threat creates fear. These fears are leveraged by coming up with the latest development. Fear can't be ruled out of the equation, however.

Your account of giving motivated by fear lies on this fact: "If I don't give, they may hurt me".

Hence the OP made mention of "tactical giving" which is aimed at buying loyalty.

The fear you mention is still accounted for when a man is interested in gaining power and control or not being seen as an ev!l person and getting attacked which necessitates works of charity as already discussed by the OP.

Since he's afraid of losing the attention of the people which may drive them to other opponents, he is required to give to stay relevant and announced by the mouths of those he has fed. If he doesn't want to be accused of being dominant, he does acts of charity.

On a leveled surface, humans are altruistic. There's first love for kin which extends to those genetically far off. Fear isn't the basis of this altruism. But for the greater good and survival of the human species. Although, in rough and tough times, humans show their cruel side.

Thanks.

On Benevolence:

Many good people stop being good, not become bad per se, just neutral or limited to their enclaves because they've been betrayed or underappreciated in the past.

Being good isn't enough, one must have a knack for human behaviors.

Being a good person brings openness which leads to exposure & which leads to different experiences.

The giver/good person is always greater than the receiver/bad person.

Because the former dwells in light & can see; the latter is always restricted in the dark.

Giving takes a lot of effort and sacrifices.

There's always a loss from the side of the giver and intended hurt if not channeled to the right person or the right cause.

But this doesn't make the receiver better. Giving leads to interaction, interaction makes you know better.

Kindness enables understanding of human behavior and knowledge about different terrains, hence, giving must be strategic in order not to miss important lessons or fall into the hands of sycophants or parasites.

Tactical giving is also a form of power: the giver is independent of the receiver. Which means that the receiver is under the control of the giver.

Giving creates sovereignty; receiving creates dependence and entitlement.

The one who gives more has more and has proximity to power. With power, he has the affairs of many men under his control and dictates.

That's why men will always be on top. Because compared to women and children, men give and sacrifice more.

Giving whether as a form of charity or power claim buys loyalty.

Receivers are loyal and they will do the bidding of the man who gives.

Hence, even though the rich/wealthy man is corrupt, he still has shills who will fight on his side - he bought their fealty a long time ago.
