Health / Sexual Addiction And The Abandonment Of The Nigerian Youth by Firstnebo: 11:00pm On May 25, 2020
So we come to Nairaland and read stories of sexual deviancies and risky sexual behaviours.

There's a story right now on the top of the FrontPage of how a girlfriend is cheating with a choir member right at the church premises. On one of the occasions she had even had sex with her boyfriend just within 3 hours of her cheating.

Then in Romance section, there is a story of a young man that was rubbing his body member into a girl's buttocks right inside the bank. He knows there was risk of loss of dignity right there and yet he carried on. Inside the thread there are similar stories. Some in support, some against.

How do we react to these stories?

We mock the victims. Lash out at the perpetrators. Fight among the sexes. Many hypocritically doing so, knowing they have done similar things just within the week.

While there are many also who look on at how these people are judged and judge themselves just as intensely, knowing that not only are they doing the same things but they haven't been able to stop, even after promising themselves they would finally stop beginning this new month, this new year, my birthday, etc

Then there are those that are somehow making money out of their plight. Those selling body for money, on Facebook, twitter, telegram, WhatsApp, Nairaland, on the street, etc. They know they have serious problems. Problems they wish to stop but they have this distorted realities that making money out of it justify their sickness. So they dance on twitter, they share pics of themselves in "swim wears" online, they post pics of their joysticks under girls' twerk videos.

The list goes on.

The problem is that my country Nigeria does not realise these are signs of a deadly sickness - sex addiction. Rendering our men and women hopeless. And willing to risk their lives. Depressed, unmotivated, inability to learn complex things because of loss of cognitive abilities, lack of innovation, fear, financial recklessness, poverty, high sexual risks (to themselves and others, including rape), and suicidal.

But the major problem is that we do not have access to qualified mental doctors in Nigeria. Nigeria has not even recognised sex addiction as a public health challenge. They still call it immorality, instead of what it actually is, sickness!

Family / Re: Why Children Of Strict Parents Turn Out To Be Worse by Firstnebo: 5:45pm On May 25, 2020
FeliciaOja:
It is now I understand what being strict does, it makes you live a life of pretence, cos when I got into University I wanted to explore everything  I didn’t have the chance of doing at home.

I drank alcohol like crazy, smoked weed, hung out with rich boys, partying, doing drugs but when I go visit my Parents, I still act like that innocent girl they have always known.

My Dad’s strictness led to my Pretence, if he had drawn me close like my mum did, I would have been a better kid.

When parents use strictness to shut down a kids curiosity instead of guiding them, you are making matters worse for that kid. Because eventually that curiosity will lead them into adventures and exploring all those things you refused them to..

Looking back, al the flogging I received from my dad only made me more stubborn and ruthless.

Nothing really changed? Until my mum made me change for good.

Parents need to use wisdom not force..

Felicia don't mind all the negative comments here, your post is very accurate

Hello everybody. I am Nigerian based in France. My English it is not 100% perfect but I will try to make it possible for you to understand me with the help of google french to English translator and my story is also long sorry for that.

When I was 9 years old I joined my uncle, my mum's younger brother in France. He declared me as his daughter. During that time he only had one child, 2 years old. He and the wife were so loving to me. I never lacked anything in their house.

But when I turned 12, I went to secondary school. I met some bad friends there. This is where the problem started.I became a very difficult child. I will go to school come home late. My uncle will beat and beat me but I never listened. I smoked my first cigarette at 12 and had my first sex at 13 and I started running away from home to stay with boyfriends. Sometimes I can go for a week and when uncle reporta me missing, the police will be looking for me, then they will bring me back home.

Then at 14 I went to school and lied to my teacher that my uncle was abusing me. I told them he was beating me with belts, electric wire, they don’t give me foods and I really said a lot of bad things about them doing to me to make my teacher believe my story so they could take me away from them because I wanted freedom and my teacher believed me and reported to the police and child protection, they are people who take away abused children from their parents. They took custody of me and my uncle three children, the youngest was 6 months old to their care and they gave us to this white lady to care for us and my uncle and wife were arrested for child abuse and the police were doing some investigation.

After spending 1yr 9 months in care of the white lady I dropped out school. They found out that I was a difficult child that I lied to get freedom so they have decided to give my uncle his children back to him while I stayed in care of white people but my uncle had sworn because I made him lost his children for 1yr 9 months that I will never found happiness in my life and I will never enjoy the fruit of my labour which it is true as I am typing this.

I have given birth to 6 children by 6 men and none of the children is living with me. The first one was taken away from me at 2 months old because I beat her up and fractured her hands and I also tested positive for heroinn (drugs), so that did not stop me from giving birth second child was removed from my care 4 hours after birth she also tested positive for heroin the same way my other children were removed at birth too so I carry on with my lifestyles. I did not care about my children at that time all I care about was sex, alcohol and drugs this is what I wanted and I have been to prison several times for selling drugs and fraudsters. The longest I have spent in prison was 2 years then after i left prison, I met with this sister who introduced me to this church she attended so I went along with her, the pastor told me to confess my sin to him and promised it will be a secret between I, him and God which I did repented and accepted Jesus as my saviour. To be honest, my life did changed a lot, I fell the peace in my heart , enjoyed going to church every Sunday but this pastor went tell his wife my life story and the wife told everyone in church my life story and started using it against me so it made me so angry that I left the church in November 2017 without looking back. I have decided not to attend any church again. I have stopped alcohol, taking drugs and sleeping with men I no longer do it. I prayed at home, read my bible and behaving good and it's almost 2 years I havnt slept with a man and i went to look for my uncle asking him for forgiveness but he has refused and I send him many text messages begging him to forgive and I still no heard anything from him or the wife even their children I have tried to ask them forgiveness they have blocked me and they all want nothing to do with me even my own parents and siblings in Africa they have rejected me, none of them want to talk to me, my parents said i am dead to them, it is so painful I cry everyday in my prayers, as for my children 4 of them are adopted with new family. I can't see them again maybe until they are 18 years old If they want to know me if they don't want I will have no choice to accept it and my 2 youngest children i am only allowed to see them once a year in a children play centre with someone supervise because they don't let me to be alone with them and soon I will stop visiting them because they are planning to adopt them to a new family too that will mean I will have nobody on this earth.

I regret my mistake so bad I wish I could change it but it will no be impossible. I can't have more children because they will be removed from me like the others and I am only 31years old. I don't know if my repentance was genius because my family has refused to forgive me and my question goes like this if they never forgive me will I ever found happiness again or I will just have to accept it until I died?

Please, advise me in a Christian way maybe if there's more I can do and also prayed for me so my family will be able to forgive me and also pray for my two children that nobody will adopt them so I can get custody of them and i promised to be a good mother to them, please I am begging you in the name of God.

Travel / Re: Moving Back To Nigeria After The Lockdown by Firstnebo: 7:39pm On May 22, 2020
JewelStone:
I'm not gonna lie...I miss Nigeria sometimes which makes me flirt with the idea of splitting my time there when my kids are older. I miss my family, my friends and the sense of community.

But then I remember lack of internet and electricity, horrific healthcare system, bad roads, bigotry, lack of value for human life, insecurity, police brutality, immense corruption, tribalism, crumbling or non-existent economy and a million other horrible things. This quickly resets my mind.

My solution which I'm currently working on is to bring my sisters and my best friend over to live in Sydney with me and make good living for themselves. Then I won't have any business with Nigeria anymore except to visit my parents every two years.

So to answer your question: no, nein, never!!!

Am I not your best friend again?

Instead of telling your husband to stop 'spending on his family', point him to projects he can spend money on.

E.g. 'My friend said there is one cheap land at Igbo Tutu' or 'how I wish we had our house, we wouldn't be bothered about Baba Mulika asking for rent every year' or 'there is one mutual funds that the entry is N200k and you get 15% returns per year. We can be paying Junior's fees from the interest'. You can also bring up investment for your kids etc.

You know what works with your husband so explore that. Also appreciate him for what he does so far.

@buying your land: I am not a fan of spouses buying stuffs behind each other so I will say deposit the money in mutual benefit/Chapel Hill/Piggybank for now while you try to make him see reason. I particularly don't like the fact you want only your name on the land; recipe for disaster as your husband is not hiding his own funds; he is just not spending it wisely.

You should also understand where your husband is coming from: in some cultures, the 'worth' of the first son/husband of the first daughter is their ability to fund everyone's lifestyle without complaint while their own immediate family suffers.

It is a recurring theme so you re-orientate him in love and harmony to see that his family can and will survive without his handouts.

Also note that if he goes 360 and stops funding his siblings, it can cause problems for you'all.

Fine girl, fine brain.

Thank you

He was praising China before in the earlier days and suddenly changed tone. Now he has blamed Obama, The media, Democrats, China, and now its the turn of WHO.

He is just trying to score cheap points with WHO to cover-up for his incompetence

I sure well know you are not good at international affairs, but incompetence and Donald Trump does not belong in the same sentence.

You hear incompetence because he has had massive, raging opposition from the media, and that's what you are spoon fed.

1) He is no incompetence when he vigorously remade American military after so much neglect by Obama

2) He is not incompetent when he stopped Washington's war on American energy (while overlooking China's massive climate pollution)

3) He is not incompetent when after decades of failed promises from past presidents, he became the only one to move American embassy to Jerusalem

4) He is not incompetent to create a new feature of American military, the Space Force

5) He is not incompetent when he took it upon himself to begin a program that seeks to release thousands of black people in prison for no good reason or for good reasons but for too long behind bars (helping him is Kim Kardashian)

6) He is not incompetent to have created a foreign policy which has done so much to weaken Islamic terrorist groups like Bokoharam, Isis, ISIL, etc. (Obama's foreign policy gave them so much impetus)

7) He is not incompetent to be the first president to not only recognise but stand up to China's American and world manipulation

cool He is not incompetent to be the first American president in recent history to be able to make North Korea friend and curb the threat of accidental nuclear war.

The list goes on. Tell me more about incompetence, you sheep

Weeks back, the amiable President of the United States Donald Trump announced temporal halting of US's funding to World Health Organisation to carry out investigation into WHO's mishandling of the Wuhan Coronavirus

Now yesterday, after the investigation has been carried out, President Trump sent this letter to Dr Tedros of WHO.

Read in the accompanying pics

I especially liked how Trump called attention to WHO's disregard of African countries legitimate concern of how China was maltreating African citizens in the wake of this Wuhan Virus

This is the letter sent to Dr. Tedros of the World Health Organization. It is self-explanatory!

Sometimes you will not be minding the fact there are different tribes in Nigeria until you come to Nairaland and see the heat of hate spewed here.

What?!!!

Take the case of Ade Coker of the Rant Head Quarter as an example.

The way they turned the story here into deep hate, heating and burning, you would think the Rant group is actually burning with all tribes against Igbos and Igbos against all tribes.

Then I said let me go and check. The first ten posts I saw under the verified handle of Ms Ade Coker is mostly from Yorubas. All the postings were either apologizing on behalf of Ade Coker, (while admiring her that is), or even encouraging her to apologize.

So you would think Yorubas are on there fuming with hate, but that's not what you find. What I found there is beautiful hearts of love.

I plead Seun would find a way to mitigate hate on this forum.

I believe it is his social responsibility.

Education / Why Are Data Credits Costly In Nigeria? by Firstnebo: 11:48am On May 07, 2020
You probably know by now that network bandwidth and data accessibility has been classified by world bodies as a utility for life. Just in the way water and electricity are classified.

But in Nigeria data is costly and the technology that makes internet accessibility freely available in many other nations are denied us here.

For example, why do we not have cable WiFi? Cable WiFi is a technology that lets you stream very fast and unlimited data through the same coaxial cable provided by your digital cable network, like (Startimes, DStv, etc).

Today it's possible to source resources on the internet in order to train yourself for a skill or other needs. But they often require large file downloads or streams. (Say you want to learn Python or you want to learn dancing)

Why are these things like this in Nigeria? What are we going to do about it?

Culture / Re: What Are Your Superstitious Beliefs? by Firstnebo: 1:12pm On Apr 24, 2020
I do not have any superstitious beliefs. I try to find the core meaning behind some superstitions around me.

For example (1) In a book of collected poems, I read a superstition that says it's a taboo to sleep with your legs towards the door. After sometimes I discovered the core meaning why the superstition was developed.

If you lie with your head towards the door, it becomes easier for you to stand up and charge against any danger coming through the door than it would be for you if you slept with your legs towards the door.

(2) Also I know a village that doesn't kill or eat fishes in a particular stream. They eat fishes in other streams in the village but never in that particular stream.

They say if you eat the fish the goddess of the stream will visit you with sickness or death. After checking for sometime I discovered the reason behind the superstition.

That stream is the one closest to home. It's their major source of domestic water use, including cooking and drinking. So they developed the superstition to keep people from dirtying the stream and therefore keep it clean for continued domestic use.

Culture / Everybody Is A Hard-worker by Firstnebo: 12:59pm On Apr 24, 2020
(1) lt's either you are working hard because you are hungry. They call it suffering.

(2) Or you are working hard because you don't want to be hungry. They call you an entrepreneur, business man, or even a hard-worker.
They may do some humanitarian work, some community building work, or they may refuse to live extravagantly, but their primary interest is to maintain their status and dignity in the society.

(3) Or you are working hard because you don't want other people to be hungry. They call you a leader.
They do hard works that are intentionally geared towards building lives and creating successful living conditions.

In conclusion, work - hard-work - is inevitable. It's either you wait and suffer, or you take up the challenge and be a "hard-worker", or you take up the mantle and be a leader.

Three qualities will help you carve out for yourself a life of successful hard-work.

Listed according to their degree of importance:

i) Humility. "Before a crash a man’s heart is lofty, And before glory there is humility." (Proverbs 18:12).
"The result of humility and the fear of Jehovah Is riches and glory and life." (Proverbs 22:4)


ii) Diligence. Diligence is defined as a careful and persistent work or effort. "The lazy do not chase after the prey, But diligence is a man’s precious treasure." (Proverbs 12:27)
"Idle hands will cause poverty, But diligent hands bring riches." (Proverbs 10:4)
"The hand of the diligent ones will rule, But idle hands will be put to forced labor." (Proverbs 12:24)


iii) Patience. "Be patient then, brothers,... Look! The farmer keeps waiting for the precious fruit of the earth, exercising patience over it until the early rain and the late rain arrive. You too exercise patience; make your hearts firm" (James 5:7, 8 )
"Better is the end of a matter than its beginning. Better to be patient than to be haughty in spirit." (Ecclesiastes 7:8 )
"So after Abraham had shown patience, he obtained this promise." (Hebrews 6:15)


What will you choose? One of the most successful inventor and notable hard-worker of the past century Thomas Edison says: "Invention is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration". That's to say that your perspiration - your sweat - is a better gift to you than your inspiration. Even the Bible agrees saying: "There is benefit in every kind of hard work, But mere talk leads to want." (Proverbs 14:23)

Religion / Was God Crucified? (dead For 3 Days?) by Firstnebo: 10:23pm On Apr 12, 2020
Because of the Easter celebration, if you go online you will see many people rejoicing and praising the sacrificial death of Jesus and the subsequent resurrection on the third day.

It's troubling though when they say it's God who rose from the dead. They imply that Jesus who was killed on the stake is God, therefore God died for three days.

Go to twitter now. Many of my twitter friends, including highly educated ones, are all rejoicing that "God has risen", "Our God is alive", "Our God dies no more", "God died for our sins", "God died so that we might live".

Well, what they mean is that Jesus is God.

Even though many people saying this are educated, I think it's because they have not considered in detail what it means to say God died for a whole 3 days

Who is God? According to Psalm 90:2 God does not have a beginning, and will never have an end. To say that God was handed over to the Romans by the Jews and was killed by Pilate is to say that Psalm 90:2 is a lie.

Okay God cannot die, but hypothetically if he dies, what will happen? According to the Bible, God is not only the source of life, but the sustainer of life. If he dies, all life will cease. In heaven, and on earth. (He cannot die though)

But not only that, God is the source of all energy and light. If he dies, everything will disappear. Including the sun and water. (God is not going to die though because according to one scientific law on energy, "energy cannot be destroyed")

Death means the absence of life. If God died, who gave him back the life?. Every living thing, or person requires life to function. If God died, someone else must be responsible for giving him back his life. (Unless you are saying he did not die completely during those three days). So if someone else was responsible for giving him back his life during those three days, then the person played God while God was dead. What if he enjoyed the Godship while God was dead, and didn't resurrect God? Then God would be dead forever. SMH.

That's why the Bible identified the person that died - Jesus - as the "Son of God". The Bible book of Acts of the Apostles 5:30 gives us a clear indication of what happened: The God of our forefathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him on a stake..

You see! "God raised up Jesus." Jesus was the one who died, and God was the one who gave him back his life.

When next you want to type 'God has risen', remember that what you are about to say, not only did not happen, but cannot happen.

Our Creator, God's personal name is Jehovah (or Yahweh). Jesus Christ is a different person, our Messiah.

Business / Re: Vulcanising Work In Lagos by Firstnebo: 10:36pm On Apr 10, 2020
Kendumazy:



Got this vulcanizer friend in my street. Nigga makes 10 to 12k a day. He told me on a bad day, he makes 5 to 6k and on a baddest day, he makes 3k. Most times when I
sit down with him like 30 mins to 1 hours, he can make around 3 to 4k. Not all of them makes good money though cos it's to do with location. He's built a house already. He's building the second one now. Most work people thinks are dirty work are works that gives cool money to the owner now if they get some factors right.
See, what i saw in this vulcanizer work. You need to give it your very best to ensure you get the location right. The location should be a road where cars and motorcycle likewise tricycle plies very well. It could even be inside a street. So far it's a busy road. In fact, you can go for a location that's a T-junction. Somewhere closer to the T-junction should be your location. That's another factor to consider. That my friend location is a T-junction and it's even close to a very big estate. Most of the people inside the estate does their tire works at his shop.
Another thing, you need to be very punctual, getting to shop by 7am will help you as most workers are on their way to work as at that time and may want to have their tires pumped or gauged or patched. So, being punctual too contributes to the higher amount makes daily as most money are made in the morning sef.
This my friend sells tires and rims too. Not new tires, they are called tokunbo tires. You might consider that too
Also, you might consider selling few essential motorcycle parts like tube, engine oil etc
If you won't be the one to handle it yourself, i will advise you not to venture into it as it's something that you can never determine or measure how much was made in your absence. So, they will steal from you.
It's a nice business if you get the right location. You know they have association, you can't avoid joining the association. Bear that in mind as well. Vulcanizer isn't longer that dirty job people think it's. While going to shop look neat and when you close, look neat as well. Even, while at work, still try to look good as well. I wish you all the very best.

Thank you kendu. I will probably let you know if things go well. Thank you
