Don’t mind him. He wants to be slim like Agbani Darego. He’s not even fat. He just has the body of “rich men in Nigeria “.

Just wonder where your compassion and motherly instincts went, Berem. A father with kids and relatives and benefactors just died. A little sympathy won't kill you, you know.

Please, this juju argument is distracting us from the main objective of this thread which is SayNoToCultism. People who want a juju debate can create a new thread and iron it out there. Thanks

Waoh!!! Will send you a request please.

Responded.

Xone3:
Thank You. I appreciate. I am trying to get in touch with a psychologist for therapy. She is yet to get back.

You are welcome. I am a therapist too just in case that doesn't work out.

Xone3:
Thanks, I actually have a job and we stay apart. However, I went home due to the covid19 lockdown and things haven't changed within us.
They feel I am proud, disobedient and wayward. All I have ever tried to do was please them. I am not perfect, I am stubborn, hard hearted, kind, firm in my decisions and highly opinionated. Abused at 8, psychologically abused from young till now. Thanks for your comment

Read your other posts on this thread. I believe strongly you need therapy. There is a history of abuse, dysfunction, fear and trauma in your childhood and you have embodied it though you are doing a good job of covering it up.

If you don't handle it now, it will so mess you up mentally and your outcomes in life will show it including your relationships. The burdens you are covering can even mess your health up with time.

You are reacting to life now from a place of subconscious pain, anger and resentment. Your reactions to your parents, relatives and to spirituality(to God) is not by the real you. The real you is buried beneath all that pain and fear and anger.

You are angry at the world and angry with God, though your conscious mind might deny it.

Stay away from your parents for now. Take responsibility for your own healing. No blaming or buck passing at this stage. Get a therapist. Get healed. Find your authentic self again.

Forgive your parents as they are acting out of ignorance. If they knew better they would act better. Heal, forgive, then go back to them. The dynamics will change.

Best wishes

takeaways from that match (1) okocha is one of the most useless players Nigeria has ever had (2) darkness will definitely overcome light (3) power tussle and nepotism becoming prevalent in the squad (4) allowance issue (5) Nigerians swear for that squad (6) one of the most shameful matches in the history of Nigeria football (6) etc...

v

Just shut up. Okocha was our best player on that pitch that day. Taribo may be right. There was no cohesion or energy from our team. Taribo seemed angry and frustrated the entire game.

I merely observed my right to expression in a non violent approach and didn't compel any writer to stop writing their thoughts.

By calling the writings of people pouring out their hearts and soul out here to save others fiction? My friend take several seats!!

If you don't believe their stories, ask for more information in a respectful manner or keep silent.

Tremors mean subconscious fears. Subconscious fears may lead to subconscious internal stress leading to internal dis-ease (an unease which you experience as tremors) which may lead to a disease (hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism, liver and kidney issues, autoimmune diseases etc) if left untreated or unresolved.

My key question will be were there things that happened in your childhood that would make a child fearful or feel unsafe?

If there were, this wil be a pointer to the kind of treatment that will help you.

My problem with Westerhoff in that game was leaving an ineffective Yekini in the pitch for the entire match. He had Ikpeba, Siasia and Ekoku on the bench and we played that match as if we had no 9.

Another problem was many of our defensive players being offensive minded with 2 minutes to end the match. Haaaa, that match still hurt just writing about it.

Was it Westerhoff that told Oliseh to send an aimless ball to nobody which resulted in the Dino Baggio throwing that triggered the equalizing goal? Was it Westerhoff that told Eguavoen to barge into a harmless Roberto Baggio from the back for the stupid penalty we conceded against a 10-man Italy?

Anyway, if what Bonfrere is saying is true, we must prosecute Westerhoff. No time.

After this match football could not hurt me anymore. I became immune. Damn!

damiBJ:
Summarise...be concise.... Wit strong warning.
Diz is wat am trying to say. I never mean to derail.

You have to know when to stop, when to be silent, when to stand, when to sit, when to walk away, when to run.

You don't know when to stop.

Stop responding!

It's called wisdom.

Sanchez01:
You all still don't get it. It isn't about whether or not our country is a haven, Utopia or some wilderness. A racist will look beyond those things and always consider themselves well above you because of your skin colour.

I'm sure you've never been there. No matter how much you package a black country, or a black man, you're seen as an ape all because of your skin colour.

It is not about your leaders but your skin colour.

Hiaa, so you are still doubling down on your obvious goof? I know you are intelligent so I will give you the benefit of doubt.

1. He criticized Africans for worshiping the white man while they think of us only as Guinea pigs.

2. He criticized our government officials for not developing our nation and looting the treasury thus exposing ourselves to such ridicule and shame.

3. He urged us to wake up and free ourselves and Africa from the shackles of mental slavery that has brought this upon us.

4. Note that in between the lines he has called out the racist French scientists( he wrote, "they think of us as senseless baboons" ) but goes a step further, instead of playing the victim, like we are wont, he makes a call to action - that we must take responsibility for our own development.

Pray tell, what can be wrong with this exposition?

Sanchez01:
Unfortunately, your parents wasted your tuition fees, I'm sure. In plain words, you are the foolish one so far.

Two French doctors exhibited normalised racism against Africans, you posted the piece but didn't realise it and thought our government is running to them.

For the record, what those French doctor implied is that Africans are Guinea Pigs.

France currently has 82,165 COVID-19 cases with over 6,507 deaths recorded so far and rather than the doctors suggest that they start with them, they needed to be sure the vaccines are working by sampling them on lab rats - YOU!

They readily ignore the fact Africa present has the lowest death cases of COVID-19 across the world but still feel the the need to see whether or not this vaccine works.

This isn't about the Nigerian government. Eto'o, Drogba, Demba Ba and other African players that are non Nigerians are reacting to the call of the two doctors. Egyptians, Algerians, Morrocans and other Africans have been reacting since yesterday across social media platforms, the first I have ever seen.

You should speak against this if you aren't a lab rat but you can't because you are likely one or uneducated enough to read the message clearly and would rather blame your government over the comment of your white superiors.

Please understand what you post before commenting. It is embarrassing.

Pfizer did this same thing in Kano in 1996, when they tested trovafloxacin in the wake of an epidemic.

Chairman, this time slowly and consciously read the comment you are criticizing. Smh

simplelex:
As long as there's intimidation,there will always be cultism... Wetin men don do, na only God fit forgive person.. Cultism brings out the worst in you. Nobody be superman, na just grace..

No brother, there is another way. You can walk away without shame, knowing that those intimidating you are ignorant, having their hearts covered in darkness or you can bring in soldiers or you can leave that city for a while or for good...

The mistake people make in the face of intimidation is to think that there is only one option open to them - joining them or a rival cult. No, there are many options out there that do not involve darkness and sorrow. That's the lesson we've learnt so far on this thread.

Congrats for not killing yourself. It sure took a lot of courage to do that.

Now, take the next step, the same courage, use it to forgive the people that hurt you. No, they may not deserve it but you do. You deserve to be free, to let go of the weight and the pain, to be happy. You deserve to be light for the journey ahead.

Carrying resentment and unforgiveness against someone, is like someone hurting you and you drinking acid and hoping that the day you see him you will pour that acid on him.

You are committing suicide by another means.

OlawaleBammie:
U re just talking like a small pikin.

Do u tink its easy raising children all alone?

Do u tink about she shame she faced after ur papa's demise?

Do u know the kind of allegations she was subjected to which led to the retrieval of ur father's properties by his families??

Can u count how many days she had to sleep with empty stomach just to face her responsibilities (u and ur sister)

Do u tink its easy moving from one location to another??

Do u tink its easy trying to provide necessities for u just for u to b equal with ur mates?

Do u tink its easy facing abuse from ur husband's family? Am sure she faced it.

Av u sat down and tinn about how troublesome u could be? Dont tell me u re not while growing up.

Do u think about how depressed she is? Even in depression she was stil there for u and ur sisters.

Do u know how hostile one can b why depressed??

Do u know what she had to cope with just to feed u, pay bills and other necessaries??
Am very sure one day she was deep in thought and u came with ur usual wahala, dat is why she threw u knife, not dat she wanted to but u and depression caused it.

Its a pity u didn't see her one of those nights wen she was crying alone cus u were deep asleep. She needed a helping hand but non showed up, instead she was denied of her husband's properties. This alone may make her hate u guys u know!!!

Its a pity u re putin her into sword again tru ur actions and inactions.


U BETTER APPRECIATE HER FOR NOT TAKING THE DECISION TO SELL UR SISTER ON EBAY TO LIBYA AND TRANSFER U TRU DHL TO COTONOU

So this is you boldly and blatantly excusing the serial abuse of a child, who did not ask to be brought into this world, who did absolutely nothing wrong than just being a child, by his own mother, a full-fledged adult. This is you siding an adult and making the victim feel like an oppressor and deny his pain thus perpetuating the cycle of buried trauma and the many dysfunctional consequences that's bound to follow in this young man's life.

Well done sir.

SmooshCHN:
But we lost in that finals na. We choked and KD was available. Who wouldn't want to play with Steph and Klay?

Guy, tell yourself the truth, that's too much fire power!!! Damn!!! It's like playing with aliens

SmooshCHN:
I remember watching it live. I legit screamed from my bed.. And the one Iggy set as well. No shooter attempts that shot without setting their foot.

Steph and Klay were freaking beasts!

And you all were wondering where all the hate on KD for joining the duo was coming from?

EDDYBABA01:
Please can I ask a question, when the op was sharing his testimony he made mention of dealing in drugs, please do you advice me to do that since I am not a cultist. I am not taking drugs and I only take weed once in a blue sky, because I will be moving to Singapore �� soon. And I am considering it as side hustle too. What do you think guys

Singapore? Lol. In Singapore drugs is called dada. On arrival in that country's airport, written in all signposts and billboards and documents in bold red letters are these words, 'Dada is death.'

RIP to you in advance if you make up your mind to die.

No wreathes for fools.

steady986:
I'm glad you brought this up. LeBron's first year in Miami, his usage% was 35.5% while Wade was 35.6%. This is nothing like KD and Steph in KD' first year there. Steph dwarfed KD in usage%. And as the years went by, LeBron steadily topped Wade in usage. Why? Cos Bron is a floor general. KD isn't, he has to defer to someone for that job.

So deferring to a ball handler means he can't be number 1 and that a team can't be built around him? I don't think so.

OKC management making the mistake of encouraging Westbrook to be co-number 1 with KD was the beginning and cause of OKC's fall from grace.

steady986:
I don't agree. The two are very reliable ball handlers, and one obviously is a better passer and floor controller than the other. They're both capable scorers, although KD is more diverse. It's only fair that they be co-number 1s. Or are you trying to tell me Stephen was number 2 when KD was there?

Well, your opinion. Apples and oranges. It was Steph Curry's team before KD came, so even though KD was their best player GSW's game was woven round Steph.

It's a lot like Miami Heat was Wade's team when Lebron and Bosh joined even though Lebron was their best player until Wade handed the team over to Lebron to lead voluntarily.

culturedboss:
Some how me that my Dad was a pastor and my mom an evangelist had to travel to Benue state from Uniben to visit a native doctor for protection,just between the boundary of Kogi and Benue inside one thick forest there with a lonely hut/shrine.I slept there for seven days performed rituals with different things ranging from red neck lizard,black goat,white dove,python Eyes,Bullet pills etc. to make a formidable Jazz for protection.

This part got to me, damn!

steady986:
Imagine saying Westbrook is a number 2. The earlier we accept that Westbrook is a superstar in this league, the better. What has KD achieved that Westbrook hasn't? MVP, two-time scoring champion, two-time assist leader. He deserves to be number one on any team. As great as AD is. He's still number 2 to LeBron.

*p.s. Don't dare mention that KD has 2 titles and 2 finals MVP. I'm sure you know why.

Steady, Westbrook is a great player no doubt but in a team that has a KD on it he is an obvious number 2. This star thing get levels. Westbrook and KD don't belong to the same stratosphere. Westbrook dwells in the second order, men like KD and Lebron in the first.

It has nothing to do with titles.

KD is the smoothest and baddest beast on the offensive end o, damn!

And remember my proverb earlier in the thread:

It's in the house of a ju man that you stand and point at the ruins of what used to be the house of a hard man.

The ruins plenty for confra, physically, mentally and spiritually.

Ju make sense die! Be wise!

This thread is inhaling oxygen again. Thanks guys for keeping the flame alive!

Say No to Cultism.

KD? Damn! Get well bro. Same to all the others.

The mass hysteria though. This too shall pass.

kenturkish:
Thought the passing of Kobe will make your all realize that this is sports and these individuals you are here masturbating for actually get along and respect each other tremendously. Mj/Kobe, kobe/LeBron and every great out there. Fans can argue and at the end of the day it comes to individual preference. One thing for sure is they are all all time greats and the ranking is for fans to slug it out, but do that respectfully

Thank you brotherly. My people have a saying, "Wars are for men, the stories for women." These stars have a deep understanding of the contributions and impact each of them has made to the game and have a profound respect for each other. But their fans, that's a completely different wrap of moi moi.

AyakaDunukofia:
The bottom line is that they are two words identical in sound and spelling but different in meaning. And as a matter of proper information, should have been used in the proper context here. All the same, enjoy the thread.

I don't understand what you posted.

You said it means warrior, lion there.

I said it means warrior, warrior spirit in Igboland.

Where is the difference then?

LarrySun:
The events of the first Mmanwu I witnessed as a child would forever remain stamped on my consciousness. Among the thirteen masqueraders that entertained the crowd that hot afternoon, the acrobatic displays of the Agaba was nonpareil; even the other twelve seemed to be mere followers of Agaba. The crown of its head – like that of a peacock, or the tail of a thoroughbred – swung majestically as it danced and we cheered. Unlike the others that would occasionally take some few steps towards terror-stricken children and cause them to dash off like major Temple Run characters, the Agaba’s interest was to impress the crowd with its warrior-like prowess and magical manifestations.

The most amazing feat Agaba performed was its demonstration of the impossible; it crossed the river to the other side and back absent canoe. Agaba walked on water before our very eyes! This was something no other masquerader had ever done in the history of our village. The crowd roared with surprise and admiration as they clapped their hands. I remember the chief priests nodding proudly as if they were the ones who performed the miracle.

Agaba returned just as dry as it was before making the sensational display. As if that was not enough to scare the broad daylight out of us children – out of me particularly, something else we didn’t see coming sufficed. Just out of nowhere, fire caught Agaba’s clothing made chiefly of bamboo rafters. No one knew how it happened but later rumours revealed that one jealous masquerader from the other twelve had betrayed Agaba by setting fire on him through sorcery.

Agaba’s power was probably not strong enough to douse the fire; and so there before the hundreds of people watching, the masquerader pulled off its coat.

Behold, Agaba was the village’s Catholic priest!

Fairy tale or true life story?
