The game is to be seen not to be heard

Where is the land located?

Is there a medical diagnosis for this?

Jakumo:
As an unrepentant and ashamed villager to the bone, most cities are not my cup of tea, but Lagos occupies a surreally dystopian realm of its own, as a nightmarish and chaotic war zone that easily meets and exceeds all the criteria comprising my personal definition of hell on Earth.

1. Anger. As the OP stated EVERYBODY is fighting mad the instant they wake up in the bowels of Lagos, and primed on a hair-trigger, to start screaming, punching, biting and kicking like wounded animals, even in the total absence of any visible provocation.

2. Danger. Every traffic jam that traps your vehicle could be the location of your most serious injury ever sustained, or the site where you will be killed outright, by roving packs of hungry and desperate robbers who specialize in smashing car windows and stabbing the occupants while grabbing their valuables in a feeding frenzy.

3. Air and Nose Pollution : The harsh, choking smog billowing from millions of gridlocked rickety cars that are never regulated to reduce toxic emissions, combined with the unrelenting cacophony of EVERY driver leaning on their blaring car horn full time, punctuated by the hysterical screaming of combatants locked in frenetic fisticuffs, is cumulatively GUARANTEEED to reduce any human lifespan by a decade or more.

4. Uniformed Terrorists. Lagos is awash with a thousand different uniformed personnel, all foaming at the mouth in absolute rage, as they vigorously vie for supremacy over one another, and over civilians who, despite having no uniform to wear, are still more than willing to stand their ground while loudly invoking that ubiquitous phrase "Do you know who I am ?" in a suicidal bid to intimidate their uniformed oppressors, even when such adversaries are fully armed and more than ready to pull the trigger.

5. Utterly hopeless traffic congestion. Commuting from one side of Lagos to the other could take as little as 30 minutes, or as long as 5 hours, depending on whether accidents have blocked the road, or petrol tankers have once again exploded in traffic incinerating scores of people, or road works are in progress, blocking all but the narrowest escape routes.

To all who grew up in Lagos and love the place, may I just wish y'all the very best. As for me, I would sooner spend a month camping in the deepest and darkest forest, shooting snakes as needed, than spend a single day in the finest luxury hotel available in Lagos. Not for a million dollars cash, and paid up front, would I ever accept the challenge to spend a single week trapped in Lagos. Were it not for the international airport that happens to be located in Lagos, I would gladly and gratefully avoid setting foot in that congested and squalid post-Armageddon landscape, until I am dead and buried.

Perhaps it is no surprise that my favorite city on this planet, is San Diego California, where just about any location in town, can be reached in ten minutes of easy, relaxing freeway driving, with the car's cruise-control set at 55mph, and the radio station playing smooth jazz. Now THAT, is my kind of city. A life spent in Lagos, would amount to a death sentence by agonizing installment, for this simple country boy.

I just couldn't resist quoting this. Bravo

ubunja why'd you stopped bumping those old fun threads?
you depriving me of some good reading material.

Hey man, compliments of the season. I've got a quick question for you..

This post can only mean one thing. I now prefer to have more daughters than sons.

Need me some Simp Retirement Pension Fund

Ubunja you're the reason I'm becoming a P1mp!

GLYCOLYSISS:
...even your fellow guys and family members are going to establish an exploitative relationship with you once they know you're a nice guy, let alone women.
Niceness don't elicit any emotion, other than triggering the parasitic tendencies in humans .

It absolutely got no biological and evolutionary advantages ,it rather places you in a box which others can manipulate to increase their chances of survival.
And with anything humans, they are ready to ruthlessly take advantage of you to further their interest without apology.

Anyone that understands the life game people play, one attitude rarely found in them is niceness.
You can't assert your needs and wants in life when you're strolling through life with the nice guy badge.
You can't be ruthless when it's necessary when you're focus on being nice to people ,in order not to provoke them.
You can't fight, fight when it's necessary, especially when you're dealing with assholes ,when you're being nice.

Niceness is coming from a place of fear.
Deep rooted fear about life and what people impression about you might be.

Are you still wondering why you're taught to be a nice guy since your childhood ?
I should believe you have figured that out by now.
The very attitudes you need to survive life is highly marginalized ,hence, you got to be very bold in exuding them without apology.
Selfishness and Machiaveinism is at the peak of these qualities, but nobody is willing to tell you that.

As with everything that got to do with life and men, you're to figure them out yourself.
Be among the few group of men that "get it ".

And most importantly, don't mistake niceness for kindness.
They are world apart.

Rick : Listen, I’m not the nicest guy in the Universe because I’m the smartest. And being nice is something stupid people do to hedge their bets. Now, I haven’t been exactly subtle about how little I trust marriage. I couldn’t make it work, and I could turn a black hole into a sun, so at a certain point, you’ve got to ask yourself what are the odds this is legit and not just some big lie we’re all telling ourselves because we’re afraid to die alone? Because, you know, that’s exactly how we all die … alone. But … but … Here’s the thing. Birdperson is my best friend, and if he loves Tammy, well, then I love Tammy, too. [Cheers and applause] To friendship, to love, and to my greatest adventure yet … opening myself up to others.

Ubunja who are you and why are you bursting my head with wisdom?

A Thread for the ages.

DasaintHope:
Wow informative. Ubunja I found out my tribe a long time. A lot of ladies have opened up on why they find me attractive. My Uniform, most times I get laid without spending a dime, all on account of being a Navy officer.

My Nigga!

You can put makeup on a pig.... but its still a pig.

VULCAN:
Ubunja,

having read and highly appreciated most if not all of your stuff both on here and on your website, I am disappointed that you spent a great deal of time on this one telling women(who already have the game deliberately rigged in their favour) what to do to further advance their cause.

So sad.

I know you had done it mildly on a few occasions in the past but i wonder if this has now become a permanent fixture in your writing

I suppose it's motivated by the constant aggressions emanating from women who hate your exposés on them and the numerous simps and white knights on here who attack you with such virulence.

So it appears you have finally capitulated and now want to present a balanced "gospel" so that they will take it easier on you.

So basically you are trying to please those who previously hated you.

It never truly works I can assure you.

I remember the first two seasons of House of Cards. Absolutely brilliant writing of never before seen political shenanigans.

But a few seasons later and the story had lost its senses by first working to replace the US Vice-President with the Wife of the President then still going further to make same First Lady the President herself.

By this stage the show was already unwatchable to most of the core fans from Season 1.

It had gone from Red Pill to SJW shit. So we had left long ago.

That is what happens when you keep trying to pander to feminism. It doesn't know when to stop.

Anybody who knows anything about Marketing and Branding will tell you that you should be One Major Thing to your core customer base and they will stick with you through thick and thin. Once you start diluting your essence and message you will eventually lose traction, customers and market share.


I wish you well.

absolutely spot on!!

phew! looks like ubunja is trying to diversify his followers

Probably not. I'm a follower of death

Naked 1993
No RedPill list without this movie

ubunja:
This was a nice thread...

Keep reviving such fun threads like this.
love to read em

Chii59:
And men don't manipulate?
Let me tell you something. Just as redpoll focus so much on manipulative women, that is how feminism focuses so much on manipulative men.
What does it solve? Nothing. Only to create a cult of a few hateful folks channeling their anger in the wrong direction.
Like an adage says "man, know thyself"
It behoves each and every one of us to do an introspection from time to time, weed out those bad behaviours, prune the good ones so that we become better today than we were yesterday.
Assembling together to pick and point out all the faults of womanhood changes absolutely nothing if you don't understand that neither gender is perfect. Men and women are both equal halves of an imperfect humanity.

PS: I know some small boys with weed in their hands will mention my comment to abuse their ancestors.
But if you ask respectfully, I'll answer respectfully too.

There's Red Pill for the female folk also - http://reddit.com/r/redpillwomen

Anyone got a PornHub link for Barca Bayern highlights?

wirinet:
The Universe is estimated to be about 14 billion years old. That's the distance in lightyears of the furthest objects we can see with the hubble space telescope.


The earth and the solar system as a whole is estimated to be about 4.6 billion years old. It was when the accretion disc forming our solar system clumped together under the force of gravity to form the sun, the planets and moons and the sun ignited.

Google is also your friend.

Look at you being rational and using science to educate Nigerians

ikhalyfah:
Maybe there is something I don't know...

But why will someone use exchangers when u can open a FREEEEEEE account with Quidax? Please someone enlighten me

Luno vs Quidax, which is better? which one has lowest commission?

wisethoughts:
Okay that's a good idea.


Modified: I think nairaland doesn't support WhatsApp links... Number dropping would be better

Number Dropping would clutter the thread. It could be avoided by posting the link here with one caveat.

Post the link but break it down with spaces e.g

whatsapp.com becomes wha tsa pp .com. You get the idea

So imagine you and John are sitting at a table for dinner. You have a full plate, while John only has an empty plate. John says 'John needs food'. You say 'everybody needs food' and you keep eating.

Controversial human being... you don go Banana Island before? If you go there, you go see sey dem no born 1 million Boys Brigade to near there. Na shoot at sight ooo.

On a more serious note, bro, you should let go of some of your proclivities so that you can harness the wealth of knowledge and experience this thread possess.

Also, endeavour to make contributions with the intentions of learning more, rather than wanting to impose your ideologies and contrary opinions. It is not a challenge.

Your account is new, so it is safe to assume that you just discovered Nairaland, unless you have been a guest all along or you have multiple monikers. This thread has survived this long because of the constructive contributions anchored on continuous knowledge sharing. We hardly hoard information here. All you have to do is keep asking.

Some months ago, someone gave a detailed exposition about how he started his lending business during his Banking Graduate Trainee days and grew his capital base to tens of millions presently. It was a rude eye-opener for me! If i wanted to tow that line, i could have just sent him a PM and, if he could divulge so much here, i am sure he could have also walked me through privately as well

Late last year too, just when NTB started its decline, you needed to see the discussions that went down here about techniques to be profitable in real estate. It was really really enlightening for me. If i were to venture into real estate today, i am sure i would avoid the pitfalls most of our elders here made when they started out earlier.

Shares and Stocks nko, Elder Emma has taken us through salient tips one should know about Shares. From choosing a broker to even recommending stocks one can immediately buy into, everything was laid bare here.

Most times, when these discussions are about to begin, it doesnt start with the headline "This is a secret". No! But you will definitely spot secrets our formal education and street knowledge couldnt provide. Only practice and experience afforded it.

Capitalism dont exist here, bro. We share information freely, and just like someone pointed out earlier, the sky in here can accomodate all the birds.

Can you point me to the pages where pitfalls of real estate were discussed?
