Career / Re: Bank Employees Got Pay Increase After Subsidy Removal – KPMG by CaveAdullam: 10:00am On Oct 05, 2023
An increase in wages will not solve their economic problem. There's hyperinflation in the land. By the way, the funds made for this increase didn't come from business revenues. It's just banks printing enough money which goes back to inflation.

The #10 note of today is the same #10 note from decades ago. But what has changed, that this same note can't afford the same value?

It comes down to economic policies, open trade, the lives of SMEs, production, manufacturing, bureaucrats, export, import, security, etc. When these factors are not taken into consideration, there can't be economic or individual prosperity.

Thanks.

PS: Average Nigerian is dumb. You all keep weeing on my mentions yet no rebuttals or solid reasons to counter the OP.

The OP is from a global perspective. Of course. Commercial banks don't print money but central banks do.

Lack of nuances makes you all forget registers in English language classes.

Romance / Re: Seeking Counsel From A Religious Leader Regarding Your Home/marriage. by CaveAdullam: 8:56am On Oct 05, 2023
If it is a religious leader who has years of experience + is a wise person, then, you can seek his counsel.

However, there's nothing like vision or prophecy. It is all about the power of the human imagination. If you are heading to him for such purpose in regards to your relationship "Otilor".

The bulk of the work is in your hands. You know your partner better than any other. And it's sacrosanct you do a thorough scrutiny of the woman you desire to marry.

Don't allow your knowledge of her to be about her beautiful face, place of work, and sweet sex. Get to know her experiences, her family background, the places she always frequents, her friends, her religiosity, etc.
Test her. Try to know her limits. Check her level of loyalty to you. Determine her ambitions. Know where is coming from and going to.

All these might seem like a herculean task but that's what you must do. If you outsource it to a pastor, imam, prophet, or prophetess, you will end up regretting it.

Thanks.

Romance / Re: Is It Right For A Husband To Conduct Paternity Test Secretly? by CaveAdullam: 10:54pm On Oct 04, 2023
Yes. It is wrong.

How can he conduct a paternity test "secretly" and still call himself the "head of the home"? He ought to conduct the test openly. If possible, the first week of birth when the woman is recuperating from labor pains and filled with the joy of a newlyborn child.

Relationship in the 21st century is a game. Only a foolish and finished man will not play to protect his end after all the series of infidelity and paternity frauds circulating the globe.

A paternity test should be like a project a man should fulfill before he dies.

This is not a matter of trust or mistrust. It's a dire situation we find ourselves. So, all soldiers in the field must be gallant.

There is no reason not to do a paternity test. Even if said woman is as holy as Mary the mother of Jesus ("that one na Holy Spirit give am belle...well sha" ) he must strive for a paternity test.

Thanks.

Romance / Re: My Fiancée And My Best Friend by CaveAdullam: 1:19pm On Oct 04, 2023
This is a clear case scenario. No need to beat the bush, running helter-skelter like a restless sow on her estrus cycle.

Tell your friend a very big NO!

Write it on a wall. Say it to his face. Paint it in the air. Let him absorb the "No" till it gets congealed in his memory.

There is a tangible reason for your refusal. If he can't be reasonable, then, just ignore him and allow him to wallow in murmuring and hissings.

Ok.

But since he's a good friend, you can help him with some funds to rent a small apartment. And in that case, you must take a little from your wedding funds to sponsor him.

Play this game well because tomorrow is obscure and may find yourself in his shoes.

Yeah. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Thanks.

Romance / Re: Men Who Hustled Hard To Become Successful Should Not Settle For Less by CaveAdullam: 1:02pm On Oct 02, 2023
I agree.

1. Men shouldn't settle for less. Which is an appropriate method to apply since women aren't settling for less.

2. Relationship in our contemporary day is more of economics than love and romance. In such cases, men must be pragmatic and extend this romantic economics to cover and protect their interests.

That's, as a (rich) man, date like the people in charge of empires and dynasties. They don't marry commoners and peasants. Follow the same route.

3. It's fine if women want to play the same game. It's an open field. However, each side - male and female have a lot of compromises to make and a lot of quid pro quo to enhance their game and optimize their wins.

4. However, men date low. While women date high.

So, a rich man would rather have a harem of broken beautiful women (which most women prefer to be in a relationship with instead of a broke poor man) than be in a relationship with the daughter of the richest man in the world. Both strategies have their pros and cons.

5. Being married to a harem of broke (beautiful) women grants him the ability to live as freely as he desires. No woman can limit his urge except he chooses to.

But some rich men who are blinded by romance allow their "idol woman" to restrict them. She becomes his god and he, her follower.

Being married to a rich woman limits his authority in the home. And even proves difficult when said woman is from a wealthy home.

Considering both sides, his compromise is predicated on his short and long-term interests.

6. In the real sense, it's women who see romance as business. Men see romance as romance accompanied by plethoras of sacrifices.

But we're in a bastardized world. It's foolish to reward those who weren't loyal to you due to your low performance, penury, and shame.

7. A rich woman will always play higher. She's winning already.

Poor women have lower chances of winning even though they can also play the game.

The best is to hustle for men with a relentless pursuit of their desires. Ambitious men who dare the devil at his gate. Men who would rather die than settle for less. They must bear with these men in love and hate; joy and sorrow; pain and pleasures.

These are the men who wouldn't treat them as trash when they become part of the high table. Yes, they must compromise their fertility + youth for such men. The risk is lower compared to being classified as a leech. During the process of struggling together, she can establish her stakes.

8. But women are too emotional + stúpid.

They rather trade long-term goals for short-term goals, wanting men who treat them as trash and in the end, come up with a series of woes, lamentations, and regrets, full of resentment and developed witchy attitudes.

Like I said earlier, the relationship these days is all about economics. Fake people. Fake love.

Family / Re: When A 70 Years Old Man Behaves Foolishly, How Do You Handle It? by CaveAdullam: 1:48pm On Sep 25, 2023
1. When you observe such an attitude, go low and pretend for some time. Not exposing all your flanks though.

This ensures that deceitful people play all their cards while you take note of their actions, strengths, and weaknesses. Once you've got a good grasp about them switch the sides of the table and engage them.

This gives you more evidence once you start throwing spears or wielding your sword in the arena.

It also grants you the privilege of knowing if they are operating from a place of foolishness, ignorance, or maliciousness.

2. No need to advise them. Adults hardly change their behaviors.

Mirror your opponents and they'll fear you.

Don't nag and complain. Don't try to reason with them. Mirror their actions.

If you're too timid to do so, stay aloof from them. Cut ties with them.

Thanks.

You can learn alongside with me and we'd track our progress together.

I've finished a basic course on HTML, CSS.
I'm on JavaScript and PHP at the same time now, (may not be the right thing but I'm quite anxious to finish fast lol.)

But yes, I can link you to the course I'm using and we can build something at the end of the day...

(Python is also available in the course I'm using, but I'm avoiding it. We can probably take it together still.)

How are you able to study Javascript and PHP simultaneously?

And hope you're challenging yourself with projects and doing things on your own by implementing the theories and practicals.

Because you can watch a tutorial and think you've known what is been taught till it comes to the point of practice and implementation.

I don't know how far you've come. But if you're proficient in what you've stated with the little you must have garnered, you're probably the needle in the haystack.

Romance / Re: Truth You Learnt As An Adult by CaveAdullam: 7:35am On Sep 23, 2023
1. Talk is cheap, action is hard.

2. The majority of humans clamor for freedom. But the price of freedom and individual sovereignty is an expensive price to pay. This makes people settle for mediocre lives, mediocre jobs, and mediocre relationships.

3. Refusal to do the important things with joy when young will be done in shame when old.

4. Don't castigate what you don't understand. Because in few years you may become a partner with it.

5. Humans are altruistic as well as selfish. The side you find them on any day is dependent on their mood.

When situations are light, the altruistic side shines. When it becomes a matter of survival, which is the commonest mode, selfishness goes overboard.

6. If you don't have solid principles you'll be tossed to and fro by every wind that blows.

7. It becomes harder to remain focused and consistent as you age. Because your mind is scattered along many terrains.

8. Hard work is important. But to rise from top to bottom, you'll need a helping hand.

9. It takes one person to change your life for good. Hence, be vigilant with everyone you come across.

Don't squander time and interactions with good and powerful people.

10. Nothing goes for free in this life. If you have nothing of value to exchange nobody will treat you with respect.

11. Instead of begging someone for help, see how you can help them. In doing so, you protect your reputation and dignity. And nobody can shame you for working to earn.

12. Anything right and good your mind is prompting you to do now, do it. Don't postpone it. That's where your fulfillment lies.

13. Stay aloof from people who fail to reciprocate kind gestures.

Reciprocation doesn't need to be equal. At least they should be trusted enough to side with you when you are at the low.

14. If you want to see the burgeoning of good behavior, good deeds, and luminous character, reward people who effuse it.

15. Learn to think in 2, 3, 4... dimensions. Your first and best plan may fail. But having other strategies and options will help you when things become tough.

16. Don't depend on promises and favors. Without it, you'll survive. So, why then have you suspended your survival hoping for it?

17. Disappointment is part of life. You must be prepared and wait for it. This is not pessimism. It's just a little handbook of wisdom.

18. Never fail to express your love to people who love you. Your friends and families. Acting strange with them makes you less than lower animals.

19. Wolves are always in the raiment of sheep. Being a sheep draws them close as they arrive to feast on you. Being a wolverine yourself makes them fear you.

Occupy the paradox as an adult.

Hi pukkalolo I’m a fan of your gospel. I got a question.
In a situation whereby you’re in a room with a lady that came to visit for the first time, how do you initiate sex as regards the FRAME/DETACHMENT sense? Are you even supposed to initiate sex in the first place,,, Like are you going to act uninterested till she leaves….
Ok let me put it this way …..if you’re with a new girl, how do you go about it without being disrespected, provided that she’s comfortable with you to an extent

Play with her.

Throw funny but provocative words in the air. If she wants to counter, go close to her and stop her. This will initiate touch. Maintain that proximity.

In cases where the national grid in control of power and electricity hasn't collapsed, you can turn on the TV to a sexually intense show. Your phone and laptop can do the quick magic.

Don't be afraid to talk dirty. Sexual innuendos should never depart from your tongue. Suggest it. Speak it.

There is nothing like a first-time visit. If she is gonna stay for more than an hour or 2, she's there for something. Therefore, escalate.

She will disapprove of your flirtations. Be observant. Most times is a fake display. Escalate further.

If she becomes overly persistent, and not buying your romance, please, bro, withdraw. Know when to stop. Don't force yourself. As it both solidifies your frame and protects your reputation.

Thanks.

Step 2: divide the number by any of the options - top branch - that can give you a whole number at the middle of the lower branch.

Romance / She Hates Me Because Of This... by CaveAdullam: 6:42pm On Sep 13, 2023
Hatred is an emotional reaction towards something that's deemed repulsive.

It doesn't matter if it's true or false. It depends on the one exuding the emotion.

That means, what X finds repulsive, Y might find entertaining.

To settle for one position, the thing, let's say Z, which causes conflict must be deciphered based on its inherent merits and foibles; cost and benefits when threshed.

So, Camp X hates Z because of its foibles and flaws. While Camp Y loves Z because of its merits and benefits.

Going further, the acceptance of Z is a matter of individualism and collectivism. Camp X will vote for the latter since they hate it and consider it bad for the population. Camp Y will vote for the former and compel the masses to see its good side.

However, where incentives and pleasures lie, even though they cause harm long run and are repulsive, there will be more people voting for it - let's call this, V.

The outliers who are indifferent towards V, are now on the individualistic side compared to the multitudes who collectively assemble for their share of V.

When people say they hate something, check if they will maintain the same position if they had the opportunity to be on the dulcet side of the equation.

You're not yet a saint until the sinner lures you.

Nice.
It's better to be yourself than to be perfect. Wearing a mask of perfection and tryna be who you're not can be boring and exhausting.

Had it been life is such. We wouldn't have had much problems.

Everyone wears a mask. Circumstances reveal the number of masks tied to our faces.

Being honest will not make everyone treat you right. Especially in the corridors of power and a bit further, romance.

Your honesty will enter a place where it will become "disturbing and uncomfortable" for those whose ways are corrupt. And you'll be eliminated if not careful.

It's a matter of being strategic with the people you deal with. Be ready to have many cards to play with because you don't know what your opponent or friend is bringing to the board. Just be prepared.
That was why Jesus Christ was able to overcome Judas's betrayal and Peter's denial.

This can drive one to become paranoid, and it is not meant to be. It's to make you aware of the travails and politics of life.

Identifying poisonous chemicals doesn't make all chemicals poisonous. However, it makes you aware of which chemical to stay aloof from or how to handle poisonous chemicals.
Replace chemicals with humans.

CrownOfClay724:
These days it gets way too difficult to be authentic.
The society does not allow it.

The world love facades, colourful fronts, pleasant deceptions and needless sophistry.

I like my life plain and devoid of any complications.

Is it white?
I will tell you it's white without mincing words.
But try it in business and hungry go kee you.

No gadge up in the trendiest wears and nobody goes look your face.
No carry 4legs and the client no go even reason you.

We have to accept that it's all a stage.
We return home at night to slip into our true selves.

You are right on point.

Everybody you'll come across daily is wearing a mask. And there are many masks for different situations depending on who they are dealing with.

The earth is first of all about SURVIVAL. Humans are not explicitly defined by their codes of conduct and ethics. We are here today because our ancestors devised methods to ensure survival and of which ETHICS AND MORALITY WAS A NECESSARY AND TANGIBLE PART.

It's not because of morality we are here. But because of our survival. If there are other better ways, we'll forgo morality. Hence, at the end of the line, criminals plead guilty and want justice to be merciful.

Trends are a result of what we punish and reward. And if we make inappropriate decisions in assigning both, there will be a big problem. Overall, it gears towards survival; either following good or evil.

So, you must be strategic at all points. The world is a game of MASKS. Being good doesn't mean you'll be treated with good hands. The same way corrupt politicians are being applauded by their hostages. It's all about survival.

You don't act honest with the dishonest. Except you are stronger than them and can punish their behavior.

Again, you cannot come to a duel with a pen and paper and persuade the opponent holding a gun to see reasons with you, except you're wearing a bulletproof or have an armored tank.

You must come as they are to ensure your survival and defend your territory.

The easiest way to make people wear off their masks around you is when they know you are real.

Just as the truth will set you free, authenticity will make people open to you. And by being authentic, it is not just being human but being humane.

They need to see you as someone who is equally vulnerable, share their fears, and identify with their struggles, so they do not feel alienated in their reality.

The reason over 5000 people followed Jesus was because he identified with them. There was no hierarchy in their interactions, and he played with kids. Lepers, cripples, and the sick all came to him, and he heal them.

It is that simple. A lot of people are uptight because the world around them is not accommodating of their human challenges. So rather than being ridiculed for needing 5k, better to just fake it and be respected.



Beautiful post.

Every person on earth has at least one individual who knows tangible amounts of their secrets. Great conmen and magicians have assistants. In the religious sense, it's God and his angels.

The bold-faced authoritarian has a woman or a child that transfixes his vulnerable side. Or, an ally whose withdrawal will make him feeble. The most beautiful woman who receives a continuous inflow of laudation has a man who tosses her like a baby.

Humans will always expose their vulnerable side. It depends on who they are dealing with. Nobody can wear a mask for too long. A long-time association with them will make you see the face behind the mask. Hence, to stir the surface to know the depth, you must stay there for a long time.

And being authentic and vulnerable doesn't mean that the other person will become humane. That's where the art of seduction comes into play.
Vulnerability can be faked: the way women act to gain from a man. Ditto for sympathy: the way money swindler acts pretending to help you.

Remember the way the serpent acted toward Eve in the Garden of Eden. The same serpent knew Jesus Christ was hungry and persuaded him to turn stone into bread. Yet the serpent is a roaming lion and a big thief.

Most times exposing your vulnerability does the opposite of love, help, and care. However, by being vulnerable, you can be able to empathize with other humans which will stimulate them to expose their vulnerabilities.

You must be strategic in ways you show your vulnerability so that you can be able to make counters or not get damaged further in cases when those you thought were angels are demons.

That's why Jesus Christ was able to fulfill his mission. Because despite his vulnerability, empathy, denial, betrayal, and crucifixion, he was not without POWER. Power to make situations align with his purpose. Power to make people draw nigh to his mission. Power to preserve disciples that'll later span generations.

Thanks.

Persephone1:
This is a great piece. It complement the cause and effect theory postulated by Braun and Isaac Newton's third law of motion grin. I tried using the cause and effect theory on understanding the mind of a rapist sometimes ago but I was met with closed doors everywhere. I realize most Nigerians do not care about why you act the way you do but how you act the way you do. It's crazy really because in the long run we keep going in circles without getting solutions to even basic issues of life.How do we solve a problem without understanding the cause? People of other races understand the cause and effect theory and it's one of the reasons they are above us.
We always expect the best of people without trying to acknowledged or understand the struggle. Hence the mantra "People wants to see the glory not the story" We just want to see the good part. Lol look at where we are now.

In as much as I personally try to understand the rationale behind people's actions I have come to realize also that I tend to make excuses for people's bad behavior. Some people are just goats in and out,past present and future. They are goats because they are naturally goats grin cheesy grin .
This brings me to the conclusion that stirring the surface, and uncovering the hidden shouldn't be an excuse to justify the darkness. Use the past to modify the present not to justify it.

Nice contribution.

Understanding cause and effect isn't a way of justifying errors or making excuses. The essence is to know why an event happened or occurs and how to either wither it by taking a deep look at the cause - root, in cases of bad effects, or improve on it in cases of good effects.

Behaviors are both genetic and environmental.

For example: Yesterday, I read a research headline that food fussiness exhibited by children is partially inherited.

So you see, you don't conclude at the go. You must weigh all sides to reach a reasonable conclusion.

This leads us to the 3rd and 4th order of thinking: effects of your current action and how that action will result in another action and the effect of that action.
This is a difficult task to do for the average person. Hence, most just move at the instance without prior deliberation.

The average person finds it difficult to make changes, except if it is based on recurring incentives or the presence of punitive actions. This makes it easy to deal with cause and effect. That's, incentivize good behaviors and punish bad behaviors.

Stirring the surface is to understand the depth of any behavior or action. And it doesn't in any way approve of behaviors that plunder lives and properties thereby making society uncomfortable for human existence.

Thanks.

Man must have rigid principles he adheres to. It makes him bear strong weight and unfazed when the wind of temptations intends to oscillate him.

But is there any other thing behind that rigidity?

Is there something this man is hiding?
Is there anything he doesn't want us to know?
Is he deceiving us?
Is he leveraging on our gullibilities?

Without solid firmness on principles, you can't stand for anything. Meaning that you'll fall when a gentle breeze blows.

That's not the case, however. Rigidity can also be a mask.

Behind that extraversion is a soul that desires love.

Behind that introversion is a soul that needs companions to sail to the other side of the river.

Behind that boldness is a soul tormented by a bully.

Behind that arrogance is a painful knife in the heart that seeks healing but chasing revenge.

We define people by their looks and behaviors.
Making plausible inferences from such is plausible. Instant discernment of matters, people, places, and situations is expedient in thriving our environment and escaping dangerous situations.

However, it doesn't end there. Life's scenario isn't black and white. Hence to be pragmatic is to understand inherent nuances in all circumstances and the intricacies beneath.

Ergo, women hide their ugliness under makeup. And men hide their low status by acting domineering.
Based on outward appearance: the woman is appreciated for her beauty and the man for his dominance and authority.

Underneath are lost and uncomfortable souls who desire to live by themselves but are deprived of their desires. Therefore, to climb to the rank of those who possess what they lack, there is a need to mask their deficiencies.

And here comes the mantra: "Fake it, till you make it".

Behind that smiling face is a soul that needs genuine love.

Behind those happy cheeks is the soul that needs acceptance and care.

Behind that silence is a soul that needs to be rescued from the demons of depression.

Behind that charity is a soul hiding some stinky skeletons.

Behind that strictness is a protective soul.

Take a step further. Look beyond the superficial.

Peep and stir the surface and you'll see either a pit or darkness. Probably, light and nirvana.

Career / Re: People Hate This Definition Of Wealth But Its So True by CaveAdullam: 10:33pm On Sep 08, 2023
1. Wealth grants such leverage. Wealthy people can afford to live life on their terms and state the conditions for others to adhere to if they are to be in their circle.

2. Wealth brings individual sovereignty. It brings you to that pinnacle of freedom where you live liberally without fear of attack, save you have vicious wealthy opponents trailing you.

3. With wealth, one can escape punitive actions for crimes. Ergo starts building a political and power base as the money keeps flowing.

The wealthier you are, the more influence you have in the corridor of life and power. You alter dynamics to suit the state of their mind.

4. The difference between the prisoner and the corrupt leader on the throne is wealth and power. When the latter lacks it and dries off, he joins his colleagues in jail.

5. In the same line, the rich fool is more louder and appreciated than the poor sage. Wealth separates them.

6. 80% of the human population can't reach that point of being numbered among the top millionaires, billionaires, and trillionaires. Same thing with experiencing individual sovereignty, freedom of speech, and power over the arms of the clock. Only a few reach there.

7. In the absence of wealth, strive to live life on your terms.

Though individual sovereignty threatens those who are dedicated to keeping the people as hostages in chains and whips.

Is your life being dictated?

Who do you live for?

Thanks.

PS: Thanks for the mention and kind words. I do appreciate it. Promise to improve and do better.

1. When choosing a career or means of income, it is better to choose from a place of individual sovereignty, freedom to pursue your ambitions, and peace of mind.

Jobs don't offer these privileges, even though only a few pay huge amounts as salaries and allowances.

2. Life can take any dimension. It doesn't take note of your plans and strategies. Just like the rise and fall of ocean tides at will. What you do is notice the changes and keep deciphering ways to maneuver and stay afloat.

3. If both jobs pay approximately the same salary, better to move permanently into the tech field. You love it and it is a field with infinite opportunities.

Perhaps, if you can manage both that'll be good (just joking though). What about outsourcing and getting a percentage from anyone? Is there any chance of that?

4. Preferably, it is better to suffer on your terms with your freedom and peace of mind intact than to work from Monday - to Sunday, like a "while loop" with pay that can't cater to your needs conveniently.

Ask yourself this question: Can your annual salary in 10 years build a standard bungalow, assuming you didn't spend a dime?

This is a litmus test to use in choosing a career or one that has a great opportunity for growth despite a high or low salary.

5. Don't fear the unknown. Life is all about challenges. Fear the outcome of not trying than relinquishing because of the uncertainty of the adventure.

You alone can carry your cross.

Thanks.

Olawade24:
Op base on your number 6 is it good to be in that condition to be love by tour kindness even when you know the people are using you.

How can I learn from the bitter truth of sacrificing for people just for them to applaud me at the expense of me wearing out or be worn out.

I hope you know what I mean. Let me hear from your point of view on this matter.

1. Were they with you when you were at your lowest point in life?

2. Is the relationship based on the help they rendered? Or, a business deal?

3. Do they appreciate you after each kind gesture and want to reciprocate in their little way?

4. Do they render assistance with no excuses?

If you get these questions right, then you're on your way to the truth.
But let each answer be based on repetitive analysis because emotions or vicissitudes of life can make people behave in certain ways that are outside their norm.

5. Business relationships are better to handle as the parties involved know what they want from the beginning.

In family and friendship, the questions above are relevant.

Now don't see reciprocation as identical or equal exchange. They can bring you a smile, happy moments, encouragement, and loyalty in exchange for the financial or any other help you gave them. However, it comes from a genuine desire to see you grow and succeed than your top-tier status.

Good example: your father, mother, and siblings. And good friends.

6. Be keen. With time you can sequester chaffs-sycophants from wheat - genuine lovers. Continue to test their reaction, with time their masks will fall.

Note: Don't make sacrifices to your detriment. Do as your muscles can and your mind pleases so that you can be able to carry yourself after every benevolence.

And don't withhold good when it is in your power to do it.

Thanks.
