Despite his flaws, I must say he's a great leader to his people and associates. It takes a great leader to retain loyal followers in time of trials and tribulations.

There are two classes of people that has suffered/suffers avoidable heartbreak in a romantic relationship. Viz:

- The feeble-minded (those who slave for love - either because of their gullibility or inferiority complex)

- The too clever by half/opportunist

Realistic people never suffer heartbreak, but they can feel disappointed when a relationship they valued and gave all their best (yet without losing their identity and sanity) ends abruptly. Here you have an altruistic, conscientious, honest, unassuming and self-willed person. A proponent and practitioner of reciprocation.

keep standing your legs would soon be weak # progressive Nigeria my foot

Shut up and vamoose from my mention, because I neither associate nor join issue with a nobodies. Conceit is God's gift to petty people like you.

Quote me again if you're truly a product of one night stand from a lunatic mother and imbecilic and wretched father.

I like Nnamdi Kanu not because I believe in his ideologies and pursuit rather because he's self-willed - I love my maverick fellows. One who follow the crowd can never make a discovery.

Meanwhile, I pray the FG will reconsider its stance and grant unconditional pardon to him and his men.

However, he should reconsider his own stance too, because most of his philosophies are flawed. The problem we Igbos in particular and all Nigerians at large have is fundamental - and it's malleable.

One day, collectively we shall make Nigeria great.

#Istandforaprogressiveunitednigeria

You're an opportunist! You exhibited both predaceous and leechlike opportunism against your baby mama and your prying lady friend, respectively.

Altruism, honesty, civility and reciprocity are some major hallmarks of a good leader, but you lacked them.

You don't deserve mercy.

Although, personally, I'm neither a proponent and practitioner of MMM nor Pentecostalism/dogmatic religion. But I've to agree with Freeze, because while MMM participants are aware of the risk and gain involved in their pursuit - they experience it live and direct - same thing cannot be said of Pentecostal practitioners, because only the predators (pastors) experience and enjoy their loots instantly, while their sheeple are promised illusory paradise hereafter.

There's nothing God and godly about dogmatic religion. God who's the source of all is for all free of charge.

Although old age doesn't necessary confer wisdom, yet with age and knowledge comes wisdom - self-illumination. Therefore, age matters to a certain level, however, one's level of self-illumination matters most.

Now, to the main subject under discussion; the fundamental is the foremost factor to consider in any meaningful cause in life. So, when it comes to issue of a serious relationship, first know your ethical philosophy and look for someone that shares same ethical philosophy and you are good to go. Meanwhile, it takes one who have achieved self-illumination to know his ethical philosophy.

On the other hand, conventional wisdom would tell eg a sane 30 yrs old man not to seek for a life partner in a 100 yrs old woman and vice versa. . . This is all about being conscientious.

Bitcoin! Bitcoin! Bitcoin!

Bitcoin is good just like PM and its ilks, yet, my stance remain, don't save your hard earned money on a digital wallet/account. It can crash/freeze without prior notice. The following are some of the ills that can happen against you:

- Wallets Can Be Lost. If a hard drive crashes, or a virus corrupts data , and the wallet file is corrupted, Bitcoins have essentially been “lost”. There is nothing that can done to recover it. These coins will be forever orphaned in the system. This can bankrupt a wealthy Bitcoin investor within seconds with no way form of recovery. The coins the investor owned will also be permanently orphaned.

- If the promoters are caught and charged for money laundering anywhere in the world, it will automatically affect your account. A computer software/platform doesn't creat and operate itself, a human do. Many a time, the top promoters and users of digital currencies platforms are mainly into money laundering. The defunct Liberty Reserve, e-gold etc comes to mind.

Also, put the following other ills into consideration:

- No Buyer Protection. When goods are bought using Bitcoins, and the seller doesn’t send the promised goods, nothing can be done to reverse the transaction. This problem can be solved using a third party escrow service like Clear Coin, but then, escrow services would assume the role of banks, which would cause Bitcoins to be similar to a more traditional currency.

- No Valuation Guarantee. Since there is no central authority governing Bitcoins, no one can guarantee its minimum valuation. If a large group of merchants decide to “dump” Bitcoins and leave the system, its valuation will decrease greatly which will immensely hurt users who have a large amount of wealth invested in Bitcoins. The decentralized nature of bitcoin is both a curse and blessing.

curiositymaster:
With due respect bro, you've just shown your level of ignorance about how bitcoin works. While I agree with you on the prospect of using it for money laundry, as a matter of fact so many things are going on on the web that you don't know of (search google for 'silk road market' to have an idea of the criminal activities going on with bitcoin). Bitcoin is nothing like paypal, liberty reserves and the likes, it's not operated by a body. You need to fully understand the term 'block chain' to know how this crypto-currency works.
I'm in no mood for further argument bro, all you need do is dedicate abt an hour of your time today to get yourself updated (don't waste it on unnecessary argument).

CHEERS

Boy! I don't join issue with you and your ilks. The future will tell. You and your ilks just validated the saying "conceit is God's gift to petty people."

A computer platform/software doesn't create itself, a human being do.

mildflame:
Bro stop embarrassing yourself, the world in about then years will be totally digital. UK Banks all will be on Block chain before 2019 and digital currency is the would be the way.
Ask Richard Branson and Trump why are they are investing in kcrytocurrency, how many have you heard that collapsed instead it is spreading like wildfire coz the world is going fully digital

Just shut up! It's obvious you don't know anything. Conceit is truly God's gift to petty people like you.

Before you even know what the internet is, I've long embraced it and made enough legit money from both known and unknown sources - you will never dream of understanding in your lifetime - including digital currency operations. Stop being conceited and myopic.

curiositymaster:
You don't know how it works. You surely need the wikipedia to help you

You amuse me. For your information, almost all digital currency platforms are primarily set-up by their promoters to launder ill-gotten money. So the very moment a case of money laundry is established against such founder/promoter/top user automatically the platform will collapse.

tnthommie:
What happened to PM abi what happened to LR?

You're correct bro, it was a typo.

Digital currency has its problem. One day what happened to liberty reserve will equally happen to it. The game there's, don't save your hard earned money on a digital account, because it can freeze without prior notice.

An average Nigerian is so unconscientious and feeble-minded that his/her life revolves on duplication not just imitating.

I Knew it that since the first commentator made a derogatory remark about the guy, certainly 99 percent of other commenters would follow suit. ... and you guys didn't disappoint. Lol.

The academic education system in practice (worldwide) - worst of all Nigeria - and a certificate gain from it only confers the holder a bragging right of having information within average of one's course of study - it never confers knowledge. This is why unemployment and by extension unproductivity is the order of the day/has always been/and will continue to be. In fact, the best means one can gloss his ignorance is through acquisition of a paper certificate and mastery of the nation's lingua franca. This academic educational setting in practice (specifically the tertiary level) is a scam - virtual and auditory systems of learning has done more bad than good to the world at large.

Knowledge which is the main thing doesn't really requires one to spend all his life cramming some irrelevant notes. One gains more through hands-on learning backed by self-continuous read/write education. Here you learn the relevant and updated things in your course of study and other areas of studies unrelated to your pursuit, while at the same time earn as you go (in most cases).

In summary, the world at large really need to do away with virtual and auditory systems of learning and embrace hands-on learning system. Hands-on learning system confers one instant knowledge, and its less rigorous and saves time and money.

Newbeginnings:
so what about you??

What are you doing now to attain the billionaire status... or are you are motivational speaker?

Do you know me from Adam?

Succinctly compiled. Only the poor sees money as an end itself, thus, they live and cherishes superficial lifestyle. And they live on expediency over principle, because to them treachery, opportunism and conceit are signs of smartness and confidence. Conceit is truly God's gift to petty people.

The true wealthy knows that money is just a means to an end and never an end itself - and that it doesn't answer all things. Superficiality is not their thing. . . No wonder petty people do term them "money miss road." The know that honesty is the best policy in business, thus they live life on principle over expediency. They earn to share with associates they never eat from associates. Ah! But they're no saints o!

In summary, the difference between the poor and the wealthy is same as the difference between lie and diplomacy.

KINGwax007:
there's no honesty in business, bro

Get back to me when you become successful and your business empire stand the test of time, with your stated philosophy. Conceit is God's gift to petty people.

KINGwax007:
there's no rule in business except, 'be smart' and smartness comes in many ways

Smartness entails honesty. This is the simple reason why any true successful and wealthy businessman propagates and upholds the axiom "honesty is the best policy in business."

A wise businesswoman earn to share with her associates while a foolish one eat/tend to eat from her associates.

I don't see any thing "sharp" about the guy and his act of treachery - supposing that the story as told is the absolute truth. For all I care and believe, deceit isn't same thing as ingenuity, so also conceitedness isn't same thing as smartness and self-confidence. The funny thing is that when a reciprocation of his action is served to him (if he remain alive then to tell his story), you'll see him and his relations crying victims.

At any worst case scenario, bending a rule is always better than breaking it. Only petty people sees nothing wrong in one living life on expediency over principle.

EJanni:
love but don't trust anyone
because heart of people are extremely cunning and wicked.

Come on! Such philosophy cannot take you anywhere. Only conceited people holds such a whack principle, because they are always full of shenanigans themselves.

Embrace altruism and conscientiousness. . . Giving in your best without greed and dominance, and being a realist at the same time without allowing a bullshit under any sentimental guise. Just imagine the feeling of walking out from a meaningless relationship happily, all because you know within yourself that you gave all your best but didn't lose anything yet.

DerideGull:
Are you alright? Where did you pick all these craps from the post?

Shut up! Your wretched father cannot even pick on me in real life, least of you vagabond. How would you even understand my submissions when you have low IQ.

Only quote me again if truly you're a product of one night stand from a wretched father and imbecilic mother.

I'm glad that Leo Stan echoed my long held sentiments. My tribesmen must change their fundamental philosophies to advance their causes both economically and politically.

Not until the majority of us begin to share on the sentiments that conceit isn't smartness, deceit isn't ingenuity, superficiality isn't reality, effacing isn't foolishness etc, would we become a better people individually and collectively.

Anyway, I strongly believe that we shall get better soonest.

Poor man's perspective is truly the bane of his wretchedness. This MMM stuff has exposed the mentality of an average Nigerian. I SMH for all the propagators and practitioners of the scheme.

True wealthy people aren't greedy but ambitious. However, the poor aren't just greedy and ambitionlesss but also conceited. Anyway, it's a conventional wisdom that conceit is God's gift to petty people.

@OP

There is almost no known problem without a solution - yours has a quick fix. There are only two types of people that can be deceived either in romantic relationship or business relationship. Viz: (A) The "too clever by half" (conceit still remains God's gift to petty people). It is not profitable to be a Ms big shot. (B) The "feeble-minded."

Which one of the two categories above do you fall into? If you can provide a honest answer, then consider your problem over.

There is a saying in my life dictionary "betray me shame onto you deceive me shame unto me." Meanwhile, I pride myself as the only man that has never before suffered a heartbreak from any lady.
