Oga entitlement mentality is relative. People are human and make ends meet through interactions. You cannot be rich and have a sibling struggling and looks to you to find his feet, you then say he feels entitled. You personally, no matter how well to do on you own level, you cannot tell me your childhood friend that slept and ate in your family house, your close paddy paddy roommate in uni now gets in a position and you require him to do something for you and you put pressure on him, he then says you are felling entitled. No be your persin?
Meeenn that is why northerners are different from us. I remember 1999/2000 I and a bro went to a ministry in fct, out of the 3 directors we met, the northerner was the one that treated us young men with dignity acknowledging our hustle, directed us to the Yoruba guy who was polite but said it was not under him, he then referred us to the igbo chap. Omo, let's just forget the experience with that fellow.
Aboki will not tell you entitlement. They will assist their blodas, we down south will say they are feeling entitled.
There is this politician from delta state, when his community was sponsoring village boys to go study abroad. It was his cousins turn, for reasons I cannot remember, the cousin stepped down for this fellow giving him his slot. Unfortunately after that the community scholarship stopped. This guy went abroad and excelled, a big time solicitor. A big man in the country. Will you say the cousin is entitled if he asks for connections for himself? If he eg has a child that just graduates and needs a job and is now pressing for his cousin to help out? Will you say he is entitled to ask for assistance from his cousin? Oga pray you have no need to ask someone you feel is your person for one thing or the other, you then hear tori that he says you are felling entitled.

Nobody owes you anything. Once you have this at the back of your mind,you wouldn't expect too much from anyone. Whatever help you must have rendered to someone in the past doesn't mean the person owe you anything. If he decides to reciprocate,then it's fine if not move on. It's high expectations that birth entitlement mentality.

If person dash me 1k now sef I go too appreciate am.

even #50,I go too appreciate. Do you know what it means to let go of your funds,no matter how small to others? You are giving them a piece of you,so it pains to the bone marrow if that is not well appreciated.

We use the term Friend loosely in this country.
Some people are colleagues, some are your acquaintances, some are your competitors while some are just your enemies. It is when money matter occurs that you would know who is who.

as in...I dey shock when people dey say this one na my friend,the other one na my friend.If one is given the ability to read people's minds,he would stop using the word "friend" carelessly.

maasoap:
We shouldn't stop lending a helping hand to people, we just need to learn and know who to avoid

Omo good for you,me don comot body. I no want know who is worth it or not.

Lol....Una still dey dash people money? Lessons will have to be learnt in a hard way sometimes.

Curse de o ,the politicians that are destroying Nigeria get curse wen de follow them too.
I don work with politicians and I know what I am saying.

curse no Dey work. Are you aware an average politician lives longer than non-politician. Most of them Dey cross 80 years with loots that can cater for their next 7th generations to come.

Kobojunkie:
I don't follow your logic at all!😏

If there are no signs of foul play in the case that the girl was a girlfriend or acquaintance, what legal troubles could come from that?😐😐😐

Lol,this man again ...you sure say you dey this Nigeria?

heracles1:
she can die in 20mins after entering your house

The chances of that happening is very slim compared to her sleeping over. Let's just say the longer she stays the higher the chances of such happening. I seriously don't advise any guy to allow a gal sleep over in his place. I have done that in the past and couldn't sleep all through the night. It's too risky especially in this country.

Why them no dey send me this kind message? Na who dey fear death,dem dey use death threaten.

Jman06:
Nigerians are naturally evil! No wonder God punishes us with evil leaders. Just imagine stagnating someone for 5years without the person committing any offence. The most annoying part is that on Sundays they'll dress up and head to church yet evil permeates every sector. Too bad!

very evil set of beings.Na tinubu we go still blame for this one so?

Not just women,humans generally love lies. Saying the truth forces people to look at themselves,which most are not comfortable with so they prefer lies.

Every lady is expensive to date so go for the one you are capable of taking care of.

say what you know. Only broke, lazy, entitled nigerian gals are expensive to date.

Kalulu44:
The painful part is that hundreds are still outside their gates waiting to take over anyone who's not willing to work again

That's the issue until we start having the mindset that an injustice for one is an injustice for all,things will not change. What stops everybody from saying enough is enough,we no dey do again.

gforce5:
I'm not surprised. This has been going on for decades even before the return to democracy in 1999. Many Nigerians are slaves in their own country but these same Nigerians will mock Nigerians abroad as "second class citizens". At least, a Nigerian abroad is not in delusion of his/her status abroad and can always move back to Nigeria and a comfortable life than many home-based Nigerians that have no options. As I have always said, a long as you are from a poor family, you are a second-class citizen in Nigeria.

You can't even blame these foreigners. They observe the way you lots treat your staff, drivers, gatemen, househelp or anyone socially below you and act accordingly. They see how your policemen and soldiers have reduced themselves to errand boys for anyone that has money and do the same. The buck stops with the average Nigerian.

As I have always said, It's better to be a slave in foreign land than be a slave in your country. Omo, People are going through hell in this country.

From personal experience,Indians are not the problem.Nigerians are not good people. From government down to the people working in those Indian companies, they are wicked. You see your fellow Nigerian betraying you to an Indian all because he wants to prove stupid loyalty that he won’t be getting extra pay from. If you find yourself in that work environment,plan your exit. Nigerians can’t unite with one voice to fight for what will benefit everyone. Everybody is doing as if he is smart whereas na we mumu pass. The same way we cannot cooperate to fight for what we deserve in Nigeria is what is played out in those Indian companies. I no fit advice my worst enemy to work for Indian company.

Instead when person go Dey do this kind work make e Kuku go Dey push wheel barrow for market or just go village go Dey farm

There are still traces of reincarnation in the bible,most have been erased.

When brethren needs help, church will tell you pray to God without seizing.
When church needs help, the church will start tasking members and forget to pray to God as they always tell members.
.
Majority goes to church to showcase their new clothes and what nots.
I have onced ask a friend why she didn't go to church and she said the dress she's hoping to buy that week she didn't get it.
What about the ones you had at home and she was mute.
.
Most members gossip and looks down on some people so much.
.
Lastly church project no dey ever finish and members go continue to dey pay and pay.

. Flesh and blood did not reveal this to you.

Revealpanda:
I'm not a fan but this just proves you don't need education to make it in life.

One might ask... So why are those with good grades and 1st class not in power?
They aren't willing to do what this olodo is willing to do to climb to the top

You have said it all...

3kay945:
Not only you,. I became conscious of these points people mentioned here since I was a teen!

you are very lucky. I had to learn when in school...it was in college I started noticing the lies. In school fellowships,you will see some students giving their school fees to church and when they start struggling,the church can not return the same favor. Abeg many many stories but the biggest eye opener na COVID.

What limits the separation between God and man? Explain. God is interested in us realizing our true potential? Really? How you know this? Wasn't man basically wiped out by God because he was going too far with his potential?

To tell you how religion has really distorted minds,I even used he to qualify God. That in itself is limiting. God is beyond gender. Now to address your question. It is limiting to think you are separate from God,cos it shows lack of knowledge.It puts man in the position of trying to reach or access God. Now, that is where religion comes in to help you reach God since you believed you are separate from God.religion teaches you that you are not worthy,that you need a mediator,a guide there by seeking God externally not knowing the very thing you seek is in you already. One thing you have to understand is that the religious God is different from the God I'm talking about. The religious God craves worship and punishes for disobedience or even threatens you so as to control you. The God I'm talking about operates in higher dimensions,above control, jealousy and evil. I wish I can say everything in one post but I can't.

Originalsly:
God is the Creator. How can man be God when man is not a creator? What has man ever created? Man is separate from God period.

There is nothing new under the sun.

I just hope you understand with time. The idea of separateness between God and man is very limiting. The idea that God is a being is also limiting. The best way to describe God is the word everything. God is energy. Energy is in everything(living and non living). The religious God craves worship but the true God doesn't Because worshipping God is like worshipping yourself. Anybody asking you to worship him wants to control you. God doesn't want to control,he is interested in us realising our true potential on our own. It's a shame religion is a tool of control and don't want you to realize this. The moment you do,it is no longer business as usual cos you will become free.

First of all, I LOVE BEER. Anything that gets in the way of beer, I avoid.
I'll also say church became a problem instead of a solution. An empty basket that never got filled up. Always making one demand or the other from members. Churches expect members that offer them services to offer these services for free. I know of one incident where the church was owing their designer/printer for over 5 years! Sometimes the man uses his own money to print flyers for the church when the church said they don't have money. But that wasn't the case. The church didn't just prioritise his service. That same church could order sound systems worth 25 million naira from Lagos in 2012 but to pay a member 400k for services rendered was a problem. Churches USE PEOPLE!

Also have you taken time to notice that Christian assemblies are loveless and are just members competing against each other? Nobody gossips like church members. If you 'fall' instead of them to rally around you, they ostracize you and keep you at arms length. The only person permitted to fall and be forgiven is the pastor.

Christians don't love. They only carry out acts of kindness that makes them feel good or show off. Everything and everyone is a prop.

You are very observant. There is no love in churches,only competition. Church is the only enterprise where the employees don't get paid. They just use and dump them.

Thank you for this bro

I've listened to it ...more than once. From my understanding... he's saying we humans are existing in a simulation ... the ultimate virtual reality created by God ... but in this simulation there is a consciousness ... a soul... which basically does not die.. Through AI ..AGI etc ... man is now trying to create his own simulation ... his own virtual reality ... which will not be as good as that of God ...but will help us understand more about the "God model". Isn't this trying to play or be a God? That's my problem.

No body is trying to play or be God,we already are. It's religious distortion that created the illusion that separates God from man. The creative intelligence of God is in us and we can create anything,the only limitation is man is still struggling to realize his ability. Man know thyself and you realise you are the God you actually worship.

If after COVID you are still going to church then you need your head examined. COVID came to awaken minds blinded by religion. I saw the world with a whole different lens after COVID. Churches are brainwashing centres where the gullible get defrauded of their hard earned monies. Remove tithes and offerings and you would see 99% churches fold up. It's a business centre. Interesting how the employees of this enterprise are paid nothing but promised handsome rewards in heaven. Wake up from your slumber oh ye religious folks.

After deep research and experience,I came to the conclusion that God =energy. God is not a being as some religious books will tell you. God is in everything and everywhere. God exists in living and non-living.God doesn't want to be worshipped.God is not separate from us. We don't need to go to a church or mosque before accessing God.

Even helinues self don tire to defend failure.
