Though i like Linda but I don't think she will really meet a man that has her type of wealth.

She will continue to meet brokeass guys because her wealth doesn't reflect in her body, no matter what she has on she always has this mgbekeish look.

Not tryna yab her but She is too mgbekeish.

common gerrarahia! Si e ba puo!

I'm not trying to yab ooo, but u wey no dey 'mgbekeish', who know u?

@Topic
This is false(no source/link/evidence) and I don't believe she said.

But if she did, how is that anybody' prob?

Would u react d same way if a guy said same?

She has made it thus far without a man. LEAVE HER WITH HER LIFE?

I'm cool with her, but she lied when she said she stay awake all night to update her blog, I mean everybody knows of the several apps that helps bloggers schedule posts to anytime.

Btw I'm happy for her.

Na lie! I believe he's praying for them to get supernatural calls, calls for where the money is, calls for where their partner is.

...And most importantly. Calls for when them go die, so them fit divert am.

I was laugh-sobbing(figure it out urself) but I bursted into loud laughter when I saw dis one. guy u no well.

BTW I'm Igbo, I don't have any thing against any group that's wants to secede. But u'll be outrageously dumb to believe this poo. Haba! I just entered here to laugh, but I was taken aback when I saw that some people believed this.

Even though I don't like NK' style. I know they'll release him, he's smarter than just giving himself to the DSS.

BTW again. Guy! got me rotfl.

BTW again again. this thread is a joke.

what is dis one tryna do?

Anybody Male or Female in a loving relationship will have to come to some compromise.

Some of the tins u stated are not bad, ATALL!!!

as in eeh... for sch mosque dey on top my head, I come my Sis place now and there are churches all around us. Sometimes I just feel like crying.

You can't tell me Jesus or Mohammed would have disturbed people with their noise. But our very religious society will hardly see anytin wrong with it.

If I had the power, I would have closed all of them sinceeee.

I am in constant pain each time I visit any thread on NL(or any other social platform) that talks about tribe or religion, because I know that the it will be flooded with words of stereotypes, prejudice and, discrimination.

Most of us know what these terms are, but I'll like to highlight them.

Stereotype-a 'generalised' belief that associates a whole group to certain traits/characteristics/behaviour.

Prejudice-evaluation of others, solely based on their membership of a particular group.

Discrimination-acting towards others, solely, based on their membership of a particular group.

As much as stereotypes are not totally wrong, they are also not totally correct. So it'll be absurd and ludicrous if 'intellectuals' are involved in this ill act. Even if an individual from a certain tribe offends you, it doesn't mean others from that tribe can't please you. No group of people is totally good or bad.

Imagine you calling a person from another tribe, all sort of names only to find out that except from your ethnic differences you share the same sentiments on all other fronts(religion, politics, academics etc).

I have evaluated prejudice from all angles and I dare say that "people who hold negative prejudice are victims, or victims of victims and, should be treated as such". I'll give a examples: My aunt( a good woman by all standards) will once in a while say things like "graciousolo , be careful of Yoruba people ooo, they can't be trusted" I got to find out that she experienced the Biafran war and faced a lot of discrimination during her early years in Lagos. She was a victim.

I remember following a good friend of mine who is Yoruba to his house, his mum didn't know I'm Igbo(people rarely know my tribe from my looks). Sometimes in conversations she'll warn me of Igbo people, she'll say "awon Igbo buru ooo"(Igbo people are wicked). She was probably a victim too, or a victim' victim.
These people were right in their own senses, but wrong actually, because common sense proves them wrong.

This experience is a regular thing if you grew in cities like Lagos. If I had let that circle continue, I would have been a 'victim of victims'. I have other stereotypes for Hausa's and other tribes, countries and race, but I know better.

I've found out that random people generally behave either good bad. I've have had interactions with people from different tribes(I travel a lot) and I can boldly say that "No group of people is totally good or totally bad".

It's funny that some people discriminate, just because of eye colour, others because of hair colour(whites in this case).
Some people believe all short people are always angry and stubborn(how can that be true?).
Did you know that different factions of Christians/Muslims sometimes acts discriminately to each other(unbelievable aiit?).

My point is... it's silly holding on to stereotypes and, being a discriminator.

A little more on prejudice...

Foundation of prejudice:

*Prejudice is learnt from parents and other forms of models.

*Prejudice also arise from the need to identify with a certain group, this mostly leads to ethnocentrism(a counter theory is cultural relativism).

*It might stir up as a result of competition for scarce resources.

Effects of prejudice:

*It'll ultimately lead to discrimination.

*It'll will lead to self-serving prophecy. Yes! that person might end up acting the way you expected.

*Discrimination can lead to unlimited things; denial of privilege, which could lead to all sorts of social malignity.

Reducing prejudice:

*Increased contact between the target of stereotyping and the stereotype holder.

*Making values and norms against prejudice more conspicuous.

*Educate yourself(with an open mind).

*Very importantly; judge, evaluate individuals for who they are.


Finally, we don't need the government to help us on this one, Infact they gain when we hold these stereotypes, They don't fear being evaluated, because 'their people' will always, almost sheepishly defend them.

All you need is you to change your attitude and behaviour for a better society. Make a pledge to see people who treat you with prejudice as victims(victims are pitied and shown compassion).

I hope I have persuaded YOU to be liberal. Throw bigotry, discrimination and, ethnocentrism out! But always be cautious when dealing with people. Thank you.

I don't totally believe it , it consist of spiritual stuff also

If you've experienced it, try out the preventive measures stated in the article, if they continue, then it could be narcolepsy, which is a more serious sleep disorder.

My point is, knowing that it is normal will take the fear away.

"Sometimes I wake up, but I can't move, I'm aware of the surroundings but I'm literally paralysed, Sometimes it seems somebody is ontop of me or somebody is coming to get me..."
Scary and unpleasant experience aiit?


If the above sounds like you, then what you have experienced is called sleep paralysis-a phenomenon where an individual wakes up during Random Eye Movement(REM) sleep. In the REM sleep stage our muscles are paralysed so we don't act our dreams, If you wake up during REM stage you are susceptible to sleep paralysis, because your muscles are paralysed, but this only carries on for few minutes.


-Misconceptions:
The misconceptions around sleep paralysis are basically around evil spirits, witches, old village woman :De.t.c that are trying to suppress us and do all kind of bad stuff to us, this is not far fetched since most people are very religious and, superstitious, so after experiencing sleep paralysis they start praying(which is not a bad thing), but this doesn't keep the fear and hypochondriac feeling away. I remember how I used to feel like I was going to die soon(in my sleep), well they say 'you shall know the truth and it shall set you free' since I became enlightened on this topic, I have experienced it about 3times, the difference now is that, when I'm fully awake I don't feel fear anymore.

Sleep paralysis is normal: It must have happened to almost everybody, even though it's a sleep disorder it shouldn't cause so much fright.

*What are the causes? It happens due to stress(mental or physical). There are probably other causes.


*How to avoid sleep paralysis: Avoid sleeping face-up, especially when you feel stressed/tired... yeah, that simple.

The most important thing is knowing that this frightening experience will not kill you. Even if you experience it again, relax, you'll soon gain control of your muscles, it won't be your last. Take care.

Really, so what medications did you take?
What about the wake up pain on my right leg . This happens very quick and at night.

Sleep anytime you want to, Chances are-it happens when you are stressed, tired and sleep faced up, If this is right avoid sleep faced up.

...For the pain, i don't know.

EggovinMma:
Thanks please do, I will so appreciate. Is there a drugs for that too?

Search for 'sleep paralysis' on the internet. No drugs by the way.

There is a big chance that what you experience is 'sleep paralysis'; It is normal, google it to learn more. I think i'll open a thread on it this week, I'll write on how to avoid too.

Raymondenyi:
I am excelling very well in my field, successful and a beacon of hope to youths; but get very heartbroken when I see what the black community is, denying it and closing my eyes to them wouldn't mean they re not there... we have to face our challenges...

What do you intend to achieve with. Your post?
We(Nigerians and blacks) have heard of our problems and shortcoming a million times, what we hunger for is hope, but since you have decided to shine your beacon of hope to youths in your bedroom and leave the rest of us with this hope dashing post well...

You are truly excelling in your field...

Btw what you are doing is not facing your challenges, it's called whinning.

Those ISIS guys must be blacks in disguise.

Eeemm... Hitler is black too.

Yes things ain't right, but that doesn't make me think less of myself.

I will relate, evaluate, and act towards people individually, I refuse to be a party to stereotyping and prejudice.

Brother clear your head, the Bible didn't stop Tony Elumelu, Jay Z, Obama, so it shouldn't be an excuse for your shortcomings. Take care.
