Family › Re: How Guys Use Marriage To Plunge Themselves Into Perpetual Poverty. by Coldfeets: 12:25pm On Jul 21, 2020 |
Poseidon000: Sup guys. I've something that have always earned the acme of my discountenance. And that's how men crudely jump into marriage in other to conform to societal dictate or for some selfish satisfaction. This have gotten me pensive and I'll make no ado in getting to the nucleus of the issue.
Yesterday, I was headed toward gwarimpa, and on my way I noticed a disheveled young guy around Efab estate trekking by the express. As a rule, I always give such guys 'lift,' because i was once with a female colleague in a lonely path that seldom have cars coming our way, suddenly one private car stopped and when I tried entering after my female colleague boarded, the SIMPson bounced me out and zoomed off with an empty back seat.
That incident birthed in me a sense of solidarity and understanding of what men go through just for being men, but yesterday, I was so incensed by a botch job my mechanic did that I drove past. After about 4 hours when I had everything sorted and was heading back, I saw the same guy heading toward my direction again(it's a dual carriage way) and he was sweating profusely, so I beckoned on him to enter. We got talking and I inquired why he's trekking such a long distance. He said: he went to look for a job that wasn't successful and he's going back to Arab road. But this is just a miniscule of the guy's travail. He grew up in abject poverty.In fact, they gave birth to him and his sister in an uncompleted building. His dad died in that building, his sister got pregnant for some riffraff and they started what we call "abuja marriage", his mom subsequently fell sick and died in the same uncompleted building. Then the owner of the building decided to complete it, and drove him away.
Now, this guy was able to get another uncompleted building to stay, and as I'm typing this, he's with wife and kids. This is a person that don't have food at home and can not afford N150 to and fro.
I gave him 10k but I was so mad with him; I mean, I was disconcertingly appalled that this guy will think of marriage in his privation. Why not be a little bit comfortable before considering marriage, instead to face life with the dignity of a breadline.
Sadly, this is the same mistake lot of guy's have been making thinking they'll fall into some stupendous money as soon as they marry, and this is mostly perpetuated by religious charlatans who say; a man's destiny is predicated on his future wife, that as soon as he gets married, the special blessing tied to marriage will start opening way for him.
That's a mendacious twaddle that will leave you in a precarious situation. Please guys, have 'comfort' afoot before you dabble into marriage.
What's your take on this? You have a point, man. Marriage is not something men should just jump into simply because it is heavier on them should things go bust! |

A lot of people are rooting for Ozoemena or Wathoni. I like beautiful people. During the introduction, there's something she said that caught my attention. She said she wants to show people that she ain't all about good looks alone but she got smarts too. So I really wanna see her smartness play out. Actually, I like beautiful and smart people.  |

Angelfrost: Local??! What's wrong with being 'local'??! And how do you mean by 'out of place'??!
Is BBNaija no longer an indigenous Nigerian show open to every Nigerian from all parts of Nigeria??!... Is it now solely for the affluent, bourgeois, and spoiled brats of society's elite class??!
If this is the case, they should stop using the Naija term for it... Naija stands for the streets!!! For every true born Nigerian!!! That's who Laycon is or represents. Well, what else can I say? Everyone is right in their own opinion. Actually, nothing is wrong with being from the streets and if that will help him win the game in the end, then good for him. But in my own view, if I am the person solely making the decision on who leaves or who stays in the house, laycon will be the first person I will cast out. Because I don't like anybody or anything that represents the streets at all! |

 My better platform is anywhere in the world that I will flourish.
You think by calling Npower you can make a point? I don’t play does simple mind games.
Someday I will be side by side with the likes of Amazon, Facebook and Google coders with the pace I am going.
I don’t need to tell you about my self but all I know is time to come I will have to leave Africa society. It may never give me the platform to grow to my best. So when I was saying good platform I basically wasn’t referring to Nigeria. Who the _fuck has time to play mind games with a lost and confused fellow like you? So you even had a nice and ambitious place you were heading to, and yet you still had to stop to come and be wasting your time on the trivial things I said, huh? Na wa o! Of course, you don't have to tell me your 'story' because anybody online can come up with any 'story'. Na dem sabi. You may think you are so important because you are heading in the direction of Google and Amazon at the moment, but then, what makes you think I am not heading in a similar direction too? Why would you disparage me because of what I typed on Nairaland just because it didn't sit well with you? My advice for you is this: STOP TAKING NAIRALAND TOO SERIOUS. |

Some news are misleading.
Every death is attributed to Covid-19 now.
He had not been confirmed to be Covid-19 positive before how could he possibly die of Covid-19 That's the game plan now. Every death is attributed to COVID. These people are now making it seem like people have not been dying from other causes since the beginning of time! |

Politics › Re: Did Melinda Gates Claim To See Dead Bodies All Over Africa? (Fact Check) by Coldfeets: 7:25pm On Apr 14, 2020 |
pokenose: You guys are completely missing an important point in her message. She says the reason why Africa has not seen much death is because Africans have not undergone widespread testing. That should make you think: "why do we need to undergo widespread testing before we see dead bodies on the street?" "Does it mean that the virus is in the tests? Since the virus has been in Africa since February, with testing or no testing we should already be seeing dead bodies on the streets, right? So I think what this evil woman is trying to tell us is this: "Just wait till we convince your governments to do widespread testing, we'll inject you with more of the virus, you will infect your friends and families & the deaths will fill the streets!" And when that happens, she will run and tell the whole world: "I told you so! Africans now have widespread testing and see the deaths we predicted." And some ignorant fools are here clapping for bill and Melinda gates. You're right on point. That woman is nothing but pure evil. I'm so glad now people are waking up and seeing these evil Bill Gates, his wife and their entire evil vaccination plan for what it really is. |
