NessaFresh: Don't ask for sex too fast

KINGwax: how cheap what is? U think everyone lives in the garage?

Siena: My man, c'mon! Let's be real here. You actually prefer saggy breasticles to nice, firm ones? I don't believe you!

kITA TITA: Buhari and Tinubu are very odd combination. It's like light and darkness. CPC should have carried on alone. It's not all about winning elections. It shuld be about ideology.

yusufu16: New Exams Rules & Regulations concerning sitting arrangements during examinations. Students should take note please!

shymexx: Nigerians will only learn when Jesus comes back...

The same people are already clamouring for Ribadu, a guy who never went after the real THIEVES - catching small and medium thieves from the opposite parties was his claim to fame..

Okorocha - the clown that hasn't completed a SINGLE project since he became governor, he just talks all the time... The guy is a fraud!

Soludo - voodoo economics that almost destroyed the banking sector...

Okonjo Iweala - her interview with CNN put me off... I have never seen someone with an overly padded CV, yet as inarticulate as this woman... She's clueless!

Amaechi - this clown stays buying private jets from the state coffers, just imagine what he'll do if he becomes president...

Fashola - he's an elitist, I'm not a fan of extreme capitalist...

These are the clowns Nigerians are clamouring for and it shows that there is something fundamentally wrong with the Nigerian mentality...

Personally, I think the Niger state governor is a better candidate than these clowns!!

daparadise: Serious question...only God know who's head fit the cap...none of those people mentioned for now, not evev GEJ...baba OBJ should be called back to office I think

DONkollione: Dat awkward moment when sutoboy dey dream say en dey piss 4 toilet only to wake up n realise dat he has urinated on bed

abiL: Self-esteem is influenced by hereditary, but environmental factors also have an effect on it.

Self-esteem is not someone's personality. Both traits aren't related. For example, an individual with an extrovert personality can have a low self-esteem issue. However, you are more likely to find high self-esteem in people who are considered extroverts than introverts. There is a link, but both aren't associated.

Personality is quite similar to self-esteem because both are influenced by the effect of genes and our environment.

So no, self-esteem is not a result of our personality, but it can be influenced by our personality, and yes, self-esteem can be a result of parental upbringing.

Parental upbringing is an environmental factor, that coupled with other factors such as friends, relationships, weight, height, personality type, skin colour, self-worth etc. can affect an individual's self esteem.

There was a study done by (can't remember their names) who found a link between self-confidence and the nature argument. But the study didn't discard the influence of the environment.


How one feels about him/ her-self starts from home. If parents neglects complimenting their children, but only finds negative things to say to their kids, then those children are more likely to grow up thinking low of themselves.


Our childhood upbringing is highly vital, and they shape our adult lives.
If parents gets it wrong from the start, it's very difficult to change in the future.
That's why you see so many people requires therapy nowadays.


Children also models the behaviours of significant others, therefore, if a child is brought up in a household where most members doesn't think highly of themselves, and their ability to accomplish great things, the child will start to copy their thinking. Thus the child will grow up with the same mentality.


I'll stop ranting now

italo: This thread is sure cracking me up.

For me, I'd like to be Peter or Mary.

To have Jesus trust you so much that he left his Church in your care must be really special...

...But to carry God -who created heaven and earth - in your womb?

That's absolutely unimaginable!

onetrack: Look, I am an atheist so I cannot tell you what is religiously acceptable to you or not. However, I was certainly raised with a religious education and spent much time trying to find out what is sinful and what is not. There is no verse in the Bible which says "Do not m@sturbate: it is a sin". Nowhere in the Bible does it say that stimulating yourself to climax is a sin. Period. So enjoy your hand; whether you are male or female, the hand is perfectly designed to bring you maximum pleasure. Do you think it is a coincidence?

Besides, your hand cannot cause pregnancy, it cannot give you a disease, it won't ask for money, and it will never refuse your request. Your hand is your friend with benefits.

onetrack: Nowhere in the Bible does it directly and clearly state that m@asturbation is forbidden.

quid: It is your kind of mentality that makes other races label the black race as LAZY.
Your inability to intellectually engage the truth about the Nigerian situation is appalling.

Still more appalling is your recourse to war/violence as the only way to gain sovereignty.
This is the year 2012 remember

Kx: So much for encouragement and consolation.
While they are being encouraged not to make food their priority, how much is presidency's food budget in 2013 proposal?
