https://www.act.gov.au/community/domestic-family-and-sexual-violence/types-of-domestic-and-family-violence Let's take a closer look at domestic/family violence beyond physical or sexual acts. Definitions and examples will be in the next few posts: Image-based abuse Emotional or psychological abuse Verbal abuse Social abuse Spiritual, religious or cultural abuse Lateral violence Legal abuse Financial abuse Technology-facilitated abuse or tech abuse Stalking and harassment Reproductive abuse |
Reloadedisraelp:Even a poor man has options. And maybe the poor man should wait until his financial situation improves before marrying. |
The narrative that most of these people are helpless victims needs to stop. I don't know the stats, but it seems that people in toxic relationships tend to be people who place looks, money, "excitement," or "cool" above all else. They literally don't care that the person is awful. If they don't care, neither should you. |
Meanwhile, corrupt politicians don't see one day in prison. |

That's pretty bad. It's almost as bad as the American and various oyinbo NGOs in Nigeria that exist to fund and support terrorists. It's almost as bad as all the American and oyinbo NGOs that only exist to launder money, and help billionaires and millionaires dodge taxes. |
izubext007:They apparently do that thing where they're separated from the tribe while that happens. They use a cloth for hygiene. Don't know what else they do. But some use modern products for that. |
MemoriesAndMe:They use those sticks that basically turn into a toothbrush when you chew it.
|
being:Yeah, why not? The only thing that concerns me is the cancer risk from the smoke baths. |
Seems like poor planning. Also, it seems like some people want to build a palace instead of a home. Some estimates are that you can build a decent bungalow for ₦12-20M. |
Solofresh2:Small time farmers in the past didn't have the ease of access to information, technology, and trade that we do today. As a result, it wasn't as lucrative for smaller farms. |
SonOfWords:So apparently, just like smoking meat prevents decay, the same thing happens when you take a smoke bath. It kills bacteria. It's like using a strong chemical on the body. The body rub they use and the smoke baths use aromatic herbs. And the body rub has antibacterial/antimicrobial properties as well. They not only may have no body odor at all, but they could smell amazing. |
I never knew about the smoke baths. Interesting. |
runningriot:Many Chinese don't want stuff made in China. Phones, laptops...many are scared to buy Chinese baby formula. |
Men know this. But the thing about men is that for many, all the rules go out the window if she's a baddie. Women aren't that different because some women will play dumb if a dude is fine and has "swag." Most people aren't fooled or manipulated. It's like romance "scams." There's very little scamming going on there. Just a bunch of people who refuse to make mature decisions in their love life. |
This is really f****d up. People should be rioting. |
sammirano:Nah, bro. She's fine. |
In rural areas, it's partially because they need help on the farm. It's also social pressure in some places where, right or wrong, if you don't have a bunch of kids, people think something is wrong with you. |

I do think it's irresponsible for people to take the risk of passing the disease. But I think people do it because they just aren't educated enough about disease and genetics. But maybe they're just selfish. Here's Tboz talking about living with SS. She's a strong woman. Shout out to all the people soldiering through this disease. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=py7a6iCFXnw?si=zciaedrqvbA4f9o_ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlkMxhL_Lco?si=SyDqOiTcS9At3ICJ |
IDK, man. China is a big country with a lot of different food. Even if you don't like noodles, surely you can digest some rice, greens, and stir fried or roasted chicken. Unlike much of Europe, Chinese can actually cook. |
She's cute, but she needs to stop making silly videos. VicM6:lol |
SixSeven:You're right. Especially about traditional clothes. However, you probably wouldn't leave your house in clothes that look like rags. And a healthy reason someone should seek expensive clothes is the reality that those expensive clothes are beautiful art tailored for your body. It's not about the label, even though that's what many chase. It's no different from well-made traditional clothes. And I argue that the way you dress is part comfort, part personal expression (everybody has favorite clothes), part peacocking (everybody likes to look at least a little sexy), and part representing who you are (you wouldn't want someone to think you're shady). |
Don't worry about looking "expensive" until you have a budget to experiment with. And being in shape does more for your look than your style. Exercise is free too. Guys have it easy, all you need is a good line up, slacks, white shirt, tie, and decent shoes. And men's clothes are cheaper. Most women look good with braids, locs, or an afro style. No need for all that wig nonsense. And natural hair is more feminine and attractive. A decent blouse, slacks/skirt, shoes, and matching jewelry works for most women. Skincare and makeup definitely makes a difference, but that's it's own topic. Basically, dress like you're going to church. ![]() Nice-looking clothes are far more accessible than they've probably ever been. And if you don't know how to put stuff together, there's tons of apps and websites that you can put your photo and videos on to get not just suggestions, but where to buy everything, and within your budget.

cletz991:Cape Verde is populated by racist mulattos. |
nadesh:There's no jobs in Malaysia for Nigerians, and the country is full of Indian racists. Indonesians (Bali) are also racist. Mauritius is full of Indian racists too. Qatar is an Arab shithole where slavery is legal (kafala system). Maldives is a gutter, nothing there. People telling you to go to these places are trying to scam you out of money for visa "assistance," or they want to traffick you or exploit your desperation and try to involve you in crime. |
Ifebazz:Those men are likely getting deported because they don't know how to act like they have sense. But some of them got scammed, and no gender has a monopoly on that. My guy, oppression of women isn't normal or good for society. You should consider how similar sexism and racism are. Irrational and unhealthy. And a tool of pathetic people. |
Uchek:There are people with access to good public transportation that think a car is a necessity. Poverty mentality is people who are so emotional about money and appearance that they drive to a store that's a 10 minute walk away. It's people that can easily and comfortably get to work on a bus, but choose to have a car they can't afford. |
bewisemasses:It's not just a Nigerian thing. The entire world pretty much has been manipulated into valuing a car as more than transportation. This is a combination of corporations and social pressure. People often get the car because they actually think it makes a statement about their financial stability. Some people fear, actually fear, what people will say/think if they don't have one. In some cases, it's a poverty mentality where all sorts of different trauma responses make them feel as though they must have the car. But some people have a legitimate gripe because they spent years waking up very early to take multiple buses. They're tired and I don't blame them. To me, having a car is pointless unless you have a business that relies on it. A truck is different because it's equipment, not just a car. Another exception is people in very rural areas who simply cannot afford to move and a car is the only way they can work. One of the biggest lies ever told is that cars are fun. Nonsense. What's fun is when you can access just about anything in 15 minutes or less by train, and you can just chill and read or listen to music on the way. |
