Family / Re: A Black Caregiver Gets Wicked Treatment From Her White Boss's Mum (Photo, Video) by DeeMain(m): 12:28pm On Feb 21, 2022 |

Family / Re: My Mother’s Behaviour Is Unbearable by DeeMain(m): 10:39pm On Feb 15, 2022 |
The circumstances of your conception and birth may have traumatized her and she may have blamed you subconsciously for it. You may also be reminding her subconsciously of an adversary in your bloodline. These things happen. I'll advise you still stay away and go for therapy. Do not underestimate how badly this may have affected you. Secondly, get spiritual help too. Heal your heart and mind and spirit. When you become stronger, you can start mending your relationship with her by forgiving her and reaching out gradually however you can. 2 Likes |

Khanben: Many guys in adrenaline and testosterone instigated prisons will not agree that it is laughable bro. That you don't know that emotions and impulses and instincts can be schooled and that the brain is plastic and even hardwired habits and behaviours and reactions can be changed or unlearned is all on you too. |

birdman: You are projecting your understanding unto me. 1. I said no to excessive retaliation. Jokic's retaliation to a cheap shot was excessive. 2. You guys proposed ' when-provoked-strike from impulse' I proposed when provoked-think-act/strike appropriately. Note that in provoked-think-strike appropriately, the appropriate thing could actually mean killing an aggressor to defend yourself.. 3. I said acting out your raw feelings, acting out of instinct like an animal when provoked could get you in trouble. Educate your impulses to avert a life of regret. How does the above turn into: "You on the other hand believed he should have walked up to Markieff and calmly reasoned with him not to do it again." "There is time for grammar and time to act". : I already said that bro. You have to know when to fight/hold on/walk away/run. "Even in a court of law he can argue that he was provoked by Markiefs initial aggression and the law will grant some leeway".: Me: Some leeway by a Judge could mean 10 years behind bars bro. |

A40: Keep shifting goalposts. The street and the jungle and the mafia have their nuances and codes and rules bro. Life and sports and specifically the NBA have theirs too. Don't conflate them. My others answers are in my response to birdman. We can all read here and and have fun and learn from each other and grow or we can be eternally fighting battles and grandstanding and learn nothing. You choose. I am out. |

birdman: Birdman listen: Many are 6 feet under or in a crammy jail or gruesomely maimed for acting exactly what you are championing here - acting out your raw feelings, acting out of instinct when provoked. All I am proposing to you is to pause and think and proceed with a thoughtful measured response when triggered. Pause. Think. Then act. What will I stand to gain? What are the consequences? Intended and unintended. How will this affect my family, my plans, where I am going? Who will gain from my actions? Who will lose? We are not animals. Animals have no head to balance their hearts out. Animals act on instinct, there behaviours innately hardwired, devoid of pause, devoid of thought, devoid of measure, once triggered. For them there is no Frankl's space between stimulus and response. You have to know when to fight(for those who think I am anti-fight), know when to hold on, know when to walk away, know when to run. A man who lacks these lacks wisdom and is no better than an animal with its helpless reptilian brain. I know a guy that was brutally butchered in school for retaliating a slap by a random guy in the street. Reason: that random guy was a cultist. I know of many whose promising life have forever been ruined because they couldn't stand a standard humiliation by cult boys and had to harden up in a rival cult to exact revenge. Remember Boethius. Remember Victor Frankl. I call you to a life of educated emotions. A higher standard. A very human standard. To always balance the heart with the head. Even great warriors and soldiers run by this code. My injunction could salvage your life or your home, or your career or snatch you from a life of regret one day. Peace out. |

A40: So you are changing tack now, abi? It's no longer an obvious flop but now poor equilibrium and a truck load of whataboutism. Lol, abeg sit. There is a reason attacking someone from behind is considered cowardly and grossly effeminate - you've given the person no chance to steel or defend himself from harm consciously or by instinct. And no I didn't call out Jokic a second time, I responded to people still gloating after seeing the replays of the carnage wrought by the human projectile and knowing the aftermath of that attack. If something (e.g a car) or someone heavy or powerful and in motion hits you from behind abruptly, the inertia generated could snap your neck causing a whiplash(a neck injury) which can kill or maim or cause brain damage or mental problems. We saw the danger on that video and called Jokic out but the voice of the many drowned out the voice of the few. ******************* From day 1 I always posited that appropriate sanctions should be meted against dirty plays and players. My only grouse with what transpired remains excessive retaliation and it hasn't changed. |

birdman: Sanctions should be commensurate to offences in sports. Retaliations allowable shoukd be the appropriate kind. Anything else is the jungle or the Mafia. Don't kill someone or end their careers in retaliation for a cheap shot and expect me to gloat with you. Never! |

SmooshCHN: Eject him. Give him a 2-match ban or a 5. Play hard or dirty on him, fight him, give him a cheap shot for pay-back. Fair enough. But don't kill a fly with a sledge hammer in the name of revenge. That should have no place in sports. Markieff Morris has missed 44 games after the Jokic attack. He may never play again. He may. God help him. I hope you and your crew are happy Doc. |

Celebrities / Re: Infidelity Scandal: Sammie Okposo Deletes Instagram, Twitter Pages by DeeMain(m): 5:51pm On Jan 27, 2022 |
Why are people blaming him for apologizing on social media? He wanted to shut down a viral escalation of the pregnancy tell-all interview by African doll that was already generating traffic on YouTube the day before. If he hadn't done that that morning bloggers would have feasted on him that day and the uproar that would have followed the revelations would have been merciless and unrelenting. He tried but it proved too little too late to save him. May God forgive him and heal his heart and his home if this repentance is genuine. 4 Likes |

Karleb: He did o, the lady's receipts long like Third Mainland bridge. I agree generally. She was star/talented-man-of-God struck . It may have influenced her decision to keep the baby. But this particular lady seems a bit different. Very educated, decent, intelligent, comfortable economically, calm, accountable, remorseful, took responsibility as an adult, never asked for money or tried to blackmail him, seemed a Christian with a conscience. Just needed to be acknowledged and respected as a human, heard and given time to come to a decision. She kept saying she has a voice and her voice will not be silenced. Sammy's mistake was he chose the wrong person to silence. 2 Likes |

Karleb: Have you seen the interview on Youtube? You are just projecting your preconceptions unto the lady. She got pregnant and told Sammie Okposo and he got mad and started threatening her to abort it and calling her all sorts of names and disrespected her in many ways. While she told him she felt uneasy about aborting the baby and needed some time to make a decision. Dude went the Nigerian big man on her and started intimidating her and thereafter blocked her on all channels and she snapped. The result, called out his arse. 2 Likes |

Family / Re: Help My Husband Seems To Be Addicted To Prostitutes! by DeeMain(m): 12:17pm On Jan 16, 2022 |
ChiomaCa: You must not allow him control how you see yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Put the blame where it should be - at the loins and mind of your husband. He has a serious sexual addiction problem. Worse, it is for prostitutes and porn. Have a showdown talk with him where you draw the line - he should open up to you on his problem and how he came to be this way. He should agree to see a sex therapist and since you are also spiritual people, go for deliverance too. I prefer a two-pronged approach to issues like this. If he does not agree or is not commited to this, consider moving out of his house and if it still persists consider divorce. Consider the possibility of STDs, unintended consequences and other spiritual issues that may accompany such serial entanglements with prostitutes. There may be danger ahead. Protect yourself and your daughter. Physically. Spiritually. 41 Likes 4 Shares |

A40: You know we've been through this debate before A40. Many players have said the Bubble environment (a lockdown within a lockdown, without family and friends and fanfare) was stressful for them, you who wasn't there says it's a lie, that it was sweet. What you are doing is called hallucination o Tales of what the 2020 pandemic and subsequent lockdown did to lives, mental healths,relationships, families, communities still pervade our consciousness and you spew that athletes were supposed to be immune from all that? This world experienced panick attacks and depression and mass burials and hopelessness and helplessness and the NBA called off the season abruptly in fear and trepidation. You remember that, don't you? So someone saying it all affected him and stretched him as an athlete is all far fetched? Fear God o. 1 Like 1 Share |

Android17: Your map of the world is not the only map in the world. There are 7.9 billion other maps. Quit talking down on people and show some respect boy! Lebron saying his Bubble ring was his most difficult ring was not necessarily because of the Heats. The emotional torture and existential fear of the year's corona pandemic and the stressful conditions of the Bubble itself and how all these affected him and stretched him to his limits as an athlete was what he was referring to. Saying Iggy's MVP was not because he defended Lebron well is a blatant lie. Without Iggy shutting down Lebron in that series nobody would have awarded him any MVP, take that to the bank. Your other points remind me of the recent Messi and Ronaldo fanboys ballon d'or argument - pure bias points against the one you 'hate'. Just emotions. 2 Likes |
