Nairaland / General / Re: How I Overcame My Stubborn Addiction By Johnspeak Uwangue by emwye(m): 12:12pm On Apr 30, 2020 |
Managing and overcoming are 2 very different terms. An individual predisposed to certain addictions is more likely to slip into said vice even after several years given the right set of circumstances. This is why I used the term manage instead of overcome. An alcoholic has a sponsor in AA for the reason of being accountable for life. I fail to understand why people refuse to debate with respect for each other (referring to previous replies to my initial posts not directed at you). Have great day! trapQ: |

Dude, this statement is completely unnecessary. I cannot understand how you would put down your own kind soo much and expect things to get better for your kids? Please think hard about how your mindset actually is not helping at all. Gosh I’m disappointed. RPirez: 3 Likes |

I started reading the article thinking it had a lot to offer until I realized it was just another write up largely based on anecdotes and lacks substance. Yet my fellow naija brethren have also been quick to commend the efforts of the writer without offering much needed criticism as to how myopic this mindset is. I agree, we need to come together as the writer concluded but with the attitude and lack of empathy displayed in the write up, I completely understand why you might not get along with African Americans.

Incest does not do us any favors from a genetic standpoint. Generations of incestuous relationships just perpetuates faulty genes and is kind of the opposite of evolution. There is a reason it’s severely frowned upon. linda: |

Nairaland / General / Re: Please I Need Advice Not Abuse by emwye(m): 2:09pm On Aug 15, 2019 |
A few questions you should ask yourself: 1. What are my long term career goals ? 2. Is my current job preparing for the goals stated in question 1? 3. How much will Uber fetch monthly relative to my current salary and bills ? 4. Will I be happier driving Uber ? 5. Is the vehicle I drive with Uber mine? 6. Are there other jobs out there requiring the skill set I have acquired over 9 years? Only after you are able to answer these questions objectively will you be able to make the appropriate decision as it applies to your case. beclosetome: 1 Like |

At the risk of sounding like a prick: 1. You don’t overcome an addiction, one simple manages it. The age old adage “once an addict, always an addict” rings true. 2. I believe addiction is a disease that needs treatment and there are a few addictions which stopping cold turkey could actually be fatal. 3. Addicts need a very strong support system, it’s easy to slip into depression otherwise 4. Address the real issue that pushed one into it in the first place. Friends e.t.c 5. When you slip, don’t beat yourself up but be thankful you survived it and learn from your mistakes. 4 Likes 1 Share |

I do not doubt that there is poverty in the land but your claim cannot be established with the data given. If mass transit is considered a cheaper and more convenient means of transportation by the masses, there should be no need to own a vehicle. I paused for a bit and went on wiki[i](not great but better than nothing)[/i] to find out whether or not there was a correlation between car ownership and HDI of a country it appears there is and it agrees with your conclusion. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_ownership MrGerald: |

franchasng:. These same men that ask "who gym help ?" spend countless hours at beer parlors drinking beer and developing pot bellies. You should invest time in your health if you do not want to spend you later years in bad shape. 6 Packs are developed in the kitchen and the refusing to spend time to look after yourself is folly. Also please don't discourage Nigerian men from engaging in physical activity (a.k.a - going to the gym). You would be amazed that most of the very successful people you probably know wake up very early to use the gym. |

Career / Re: Is Exxon Mobil The Highest Paying Multinational Oil Firm In Nigeria For 2018? by emwye(m): 2:00pm On Jan 18, 2019 |
I think you might be mistaken. $3500 after tax and other deductions on a biweekly basis leaves the individual at an annual salary upwards of $120K per annum. I do not know any vocational nurses that make that much with the exception of Nurse practitioners that live in HCOL areas like LA, Chicago, NY and the Tristate area. Could you please enlighten me ?

I agree with you on the following points : - welcoming competition from able investors - dissolving the monopolies that currently exist I however do no agree that my fears are unfounded in the sense that we as a people constantly look to foreign investors for compettition. Sure it will solve the problem short term but at what point do we put ourselves first? We can definitely agree to disagree. davidif: |

Gerrard, I tire for our people oh. That was a difficult write up to read. 1. The guy is supposed to be a graduate of some tertiary institution of learning where the language of instruction was most likely English. 2. He has 2 cars now. Wow! Thats hella successful isn't it? 3. The girl had 3 abortions. At what point did he realize he wasn't supposed to be having sex if he couldn't keep her from getting pregnant? Everything about this epistle reeks of mediocrity and ignorance; Sad thing is, he is delusional enough to think its a great story to inspire people. Idrismusty97: 1 Like |

Just a case of mismanagement. Equinor (formerly Statoil) was mostly owned by the Norwegian government. So is ARAMCO. We just dont know how to hold people accountable. They will only sell it to themselves and screw things up even further. davidif: |
