If there are so many people against these noises in church, then who are the Nigerians going to church?

They steal and steal and steal like say they will never die. Then they still die. Rubbish leaders. This one was even worse. Stole the whole of Oyo state. Is he now carrying it to wherever he's going?

Now, they are happy. Soon, they will start cutting their head off and they will be crying.

When will you people learn how to do time-lapse videos

What a joke

An article made front page recently claiming to offer reasons why you should quit porn and masturbation. Naturally, I would have read this and just moved on because the arguments are typically stale, offer no new ideas, and always come from a religious viewpoint. But this was a little different, claiming to offer some scientific theories on why porn and masturbation is not good. The problem is that the opinions, for that’s what I should call them, appear grossly retarded and totally unfounded.

1. Boost in your energy level?
According to the author, you should stop masturbation because stopping boosts your energy level. That is just total balderdash. There is no scientific evidence that shows that masturbation causes you to lose energy, nor does staying away from masturbation boost your energy level. Of course, releasing semen may cause partial loss of energy just like any sexual activity does. However, you quickly regain lost energy and can sooner focus on more important tasks. Scientific studies have shown repeatedly that masturbation has zero effect on your energy level.

2. Boost in your confidence and self-esteem?
Again, the typical narrative is that masturbation leads to loss of self-esteem. Totally wrong. If you suffer loss of self-esteem after masturbation, you should probably consider your own views about masturbation rather than the act itself. Because of the conservative background of many Nigerians, it is not untypical for them to immediately feel guilty after masturbation or after any sexual activity for that matter. Sex is still a taboo subject in Nigeria, as is masturbation. But tying your post-nut clarity to extreme guilt is really your own fault. It’s not the fault of the act itself. There are millions of people who are incredibly confident and with huge self-esteem who masturbate daily. You think celebrities and major sportstars don’t masturbate? Think again!

3. You become more attractive and sexy?
Now, this just gets weird. Brighter eyes, deeper masculine voice? Are you nuts? It would help if you cite scientific studies that have shown that brighter eyes and deeper masculine voice results from not masturbating. I just find it extremely hilarious that many Nigerians can just pull conclusions out of their rear because it sounds good to the ears. Masturbating does not make anyone less attractive. Again, a lot of attractive celebrities with deeper voice and brighter eyes masturbate. Didn’t Banky-W confess lately about masturbating? Did he have duller eyes while he was at it? Last I checked, he probably had a lot of women tripping for him even while he was masturbating…

4. You will become more productive and focused?
If you are less productive because you masturbate, then you should probably focus more on your self-motivation as a person instead of on your masturbating act. Lacking self-resolve has nothing to do with masturbation. Many people live lethargically through life and have to be prodded each time to do things beneficial to themselves. Tying their lack of drive to masturbation is just total hogwash. Again, there are countless people who are productive and who masturbate, perhaps even daily. Bill O’Reilly was one of the most productive Fox News host, yet reports came out some years ago that he often talked to women about "sexual fantasies, masturbation and vibrators while sometimes seeming to pleasure himself." Now, that's wrong because he was being a jerk. Nevertheless, his "masturbation" did not stop him from being so productive. Gabriella Union, one of the most productive black American actress, talked about masturbating a lot while growing up. That didn't stop her from achieving her dreams. Many who think like the OP may not never achieve 1/10th what these people have acheived. Yet they think masturbation is their problem. Don’t let anyone deceive you. Work on your motivation, not on your ejaculation.

5. Your sexual social life improves?
If you are lacking quality social life because of masturbation, then ask yourself questions about whether you know how to socialize, not about whether you should be masturbating. No, there is no way stopping masturbating suddenly improves your ability to walk up to women or to want to mingle with strangers. This author just pulled this again out of their rear. Where are your scientific evidences which prove this? There is nothing to suppose that your suddenly become more confident. If you are lacking in confidence, stopping masturbation is not suddenly going to improve that. What will improve that is working on yourself as a person.

Finally, I will add that if you are struggling with guilt after masturbating, then you should stop doing it. Your guilt will probably keep eating at your soul and you will conclude that every thing negative coming to you is because you are a chronic masturbator. But that’s a wrong way to think and no one can help you with that, except maybe a psychologist. If you masturbate healthily, you are even helping your body improve. Science has shown repeatedly that there is nothing wrong with masturbation and that is, in fact, a very healthy activity. But of course, our Nigerian people, being as religious as they are, will always find everything wrong with sexual expression. Strangely though, they find nothing wrong with extreme womanizing.

But seriously, in freer countries, millions of people masturbate and it takes nothing away from their lives or achievements.

You know it's desperation times when a university is fighting tooth and nail to keep its bad decision afloat. What do they stand to gain from rewarding the terrorist with a professorship?

Hello

Anyone with ideas on packing foodstuff to Canada . What to carry and not to carry . Can't seem to find the stories again

Why do you need to carry any food to Canada? Are you going to a camp in the bush where food is scarce? Or is there no food in Canada? I can't remember ever reading that people were starving in Canada

solofresh:
Why should you question anyone means of making when you can't question their means of poverty
Why should you care how I make my money if you don't care how why I was poor in the first instant.

Why should I care why you are poor or why you are rich. I don't care in either case. I just care that you obey the law and not pursue anything illegally so that the country can be conducive for everyone to live in it. It's only a pity that Nigerian laws are hardly enforced. Hence, we won't be having this discussion.

Sadly true. What everyone cares about is the end (money), not the means. And whoever comes out at the end with money is never questioned about the means to their money.

In Canada apart from real estate, main stream investments are kind of limited to stuff like bonds, stocks, ETFs ,segregated funds, mutual funds etc your risk tolerance should determine where that money goes. What I mean by not guaranteed is no one can tell you for certain how well an investment will do but for investment like segregated funds, the company can give a minimum guarantee on maturity so not total loss

I'm just learning about segregated funds. I'll look into this.

finishedworks:
Investing is Canada is dependent on a number of factors cos returns on investments are mostly not "guaranteed"
So you may want to take into consideration factors such as your risk appetite, purpose of investing, how long you want to stay invested for e.t.c This would help make an informed decision on where to put the funds
So it will be better to sit with an Advisor to explore your options.
I am a licensed Financial Advisor so feel free to send me a DM and we can talk more

Can you explain what you mean by not "guaranteed"? As in total loss?
You don't have to talk about stocks or crypto. I know those already.

a friend of mine was contacted by his social media contact (married woman) who resides in Canada over a job she got for him; let's say she contacted him and made recommendation of jobs available for him.
this my friend studied Mechanical engineering technology. he has less funds with him, but confide in me that he can sort out funds if only he can get a comprehensive requirements/costs of traveling to Canada.
my questions are these.. what are these requirements? what type of visa will be eligible for him? and lastly, since the lady is willing to assist him with a job, what is expected from the lady to do, questions to ask her concerning this arrangements etc.

I need your input on this matter. Thank you guys.

I hope your friend knows what he is doing. Desperation will not kill you people

This country likes playing kalokalo with people's lives. The country is just a disaster away from actually blowing up.

Lasunray01:
Though, this has happened before too. In all, everyone's comment is appreciated. Will work on all options as suggested

OP, I think you got all the advice you need already. But my own is that it's a complete NO taking her abroad for now. Don't even think about it. It will certainly end in tears.

Naija! Normal things. Thank God I no longer live in that country!

Meanwhile, their male counterparts are struggling.

Another normal day in zoogeria

Some were trying their best not to fall. Others were clearly delusional and were rolling in the mud. Bunch of misguided folks.

If there hasn't been any significant event in his life to make him change for good, then the same thing will happen again. It's a mental disorder he can't escape. Don't test it. Stay where you are.
Example of significant event? He became a born again Christian, for example. But even that is testy. Move on with your life.

Legal age in that joke of a country? Do you realise some of your senators marry 13-year-old kids?

This people will not stop striking. Like if they were the ones occupying that minister seat they will actually do something for education. Bunch of no-do-gooders
