RomanceRe: Will My Body Return To Normal After Stoping Porn And Masturbation by Illuminatus(m): 10:03am On Mar 14, 2019
Kingdante:
You hate masturbation but you allow a guy stroke you? Dude!! Jesus Christ!!

You allow a guy touch your penisss?? Omg ..... you need a dick transplant, you can’t keep that.
And you need a brain transplant.

I don't understand you people.

That another man touched his penis does not make him gay.

That you refuse to let another guy touch your penis does not make you straight, either.

You people should get off this your high tower, abeg.

By Gods grace Have been able to stay 1 months without porn and maturbating and my body system have undergo some changes. No more back pains. I now begin to see early morning erection averagely not like that time which erection in the morning ceased. I want to ask if my erection strength will increased and my brain and body system will return to it normal state naturally or should i take drugs. But i thank God for seeing morning erection again
I wonder how often you were wanking for it to affect your life so negatively. I am however pleased that you are happy with the change you have made.

But what do you mean by this constant repetition of 'normal'. Normal for you, or the average for all humans. Normal is overrated. Do you.

Sure, you might experience some improvement in focus and attention span. That wouldn't necessarily translate into a better IQ unless you invest more them on your brain. Try to not abuse drugs. Really. It is not a good idea. And try to find a more healthy habit to replace wanking with. You will need to occupy yourself from time to time to prevent falling prey to old habits.
Poems For ReviewRe: Life by Illuminatus(m): 9:47am On Feb 28, 2019
The poem has an interesting idea. The execution is okay. However, the third stanza is too off and illogical.

Keep writing, keep thinking. Improve. You already have the flair.
HealthRe: Reoccurring Viginal Inchting ...I Need Help by Illuminatus(m): 7:48pm On Feb 27, 2019
It would be better to visit a qualified medical practitioner. Using over the counter medication for cases like this may be dangerous and counter productive.

If however you are however strapped of cash, visit a pharmacy (they will probably charge less in the short run).

Speak no evil by uzodinma iweala has some LGBT themed type stuff. Though I haven't read it.

I got both recommendation from the last page.
Can you send the Obioma book to my mail? I’m not sure you still have it so I’m going to PM you.

I’ve read Speak No Evil. Months ago. Not a bad read.

I had no idea such concert even took place and thought it was all fiction till I started googling bout the event around the book.
I really enjoyed it,so many memorable characters.
I am looking forward to the writer's new fantasy work. It has been described as similar to game of thrones but in Africa. So am waiting for the whole series to finish before I start.

Currently reading "the orchestra of minorities"
Early stages yet,going well so far.
I’ve not heard of the Orchestra of Minorities before. Who’s the author?

I’m looking for interesting LGBT themed or Mystery/Suspense books

PS: The site I used to get books from is misbehaving. Any suggestion on where to get good books? Preferably ePub, but I can always convert myself.

How long before you figured out the identity of the "singer?"
took me sometime.
The first part.

The time line, the fact that The Singer is referred to as a popular reggae artiste and the Concert led me to conclude on the identity of the Singer.

@Illuminatus: With the stage that the partnership, company and the project is do I supposed to have the perks as the CEO? I mean, I'm I supposed to be given monthly allowance if not salary, accomodation, car etc.
Respond please !
You can only get these things if the company can afford it and is willing to give them to you. The company can only afford it if your investor keeps his end of the bargain. Are you seeing my point?

From what you told me, you can only get what the two of you agreed to and not what you think you are entitled to.

The complicated nature of this issue is why I’ve suggested that you seek legal advice so that you don’t err in such a manner that can not be corrected easily.

Alternatively, you can try alternate dispute resolution methods.
BusinessRe: Read And Advice Me Please by Illuminatus(m): 7:00pm On Dec 23, 2018
Seek Legal guidance. I cannot stress this enough.

What you should do would depend on whether the agreement you had with this person was in writing or merely oral and how far you are willing to go to make sure that this business is actualized.

If the agreement isn’t in writing, your options becomes more limited.

If they are in writing, you can then proceed to sue him (this would be very important for the steps you would take afterward) for breach of contract and try to get him to either perform or pay damages.

Alternatively, you can dissolve the company already formed and create another one that would be solely owned and controlled by you. Then you will start the hard work of sourcing for funds for execution.

This situation is particularly messy and I deeply sympathize with you which is why I’ve hazarded a summary of the legal options available to you.

Good luck.

A Brief History of Seven Killings by Marlon James.

I usually struggle with historical fiction, and this one isn’t any different. However, it’s somewhat easier to read than Lincoln in the Bardo. I’m still like 5% in which isn’t a good thing at alll considering that the book has 1355 pages (on my phone) but I’m optimistic.

I think I might take a break off fiction works after this book, I’m not sure yet. Depends on my schedule next year.

The fact that you are addressing women, as if their ultimate objective is and should be marriage renders your post almost moot. It’s 2018. Marriage should be equally important to both sexes.
EducationRe: From 3.22 GP 100 Level Is It Posible To Graduate With 1st Class Or Second Class by Illuminatus(m): 4:03pm On Dec 11, 2018
To make a second class upper, he would have to maintain a CGPA of at least 4.5 per session till he graduates. To make a first class, he would need to push that envelope to 4.7 CGPA per session till he graduates.

I think the only way for this to work is if he’s a goal oriented smart worker and the university isn’t stingy with grades.

All the same, warm regards and best of luck!
CrimeRe: Man Catches Wife With Lesb!an Partner In Hotel by Illuminatus(m): 3:44pm On Dec 11, 2018
Just before people will start coming here to bash all gay people, a quick reminder that cheating is cheating and the gender of the cheating parties does not matter.

Secondly, if you know that you wouldn’t be this outraged if this was another story of a man cheating on his wife, carry your L and be going. Double standards doesn’t look good on anyone anymore.

Thirdly, you may not be quick to agree with me, but stories like this wouldn’t be so rampant if the society was less antagonistic against homosexuality.

jesusjnr:
Perhaps you chose the wrong option by not following your first instinct, because your desperate attempt to discredit this quote from Isaac Newton has even given some reason to believe that it's worthy of consideration.

It was unwise you to think that atheists who to a significant extent hinge their beliefs on scientific studies and findings would rather chose to believe your own view rather than that of arguably the greatest scientist of all time.

So wrong choice bro for not walking past, but thanks anyways for stopping by, for it's been quite helpful in this regard.
News flash: That someone is a reknowned scientist doesn’t mean that everything he says should be believed.

If you tried reading my comment, you would see how I differentiate between the opinions of scientists that are verifiable and thus, of universal validity and the opinions of scientists that are just that - opinions.

That Newton was a spectacular scientist doesn’t mean that we should believe what he says about the future or death or religion IF IT IS NOT VERIFIABLE. Such opinions are worth as much as that of the average Joe. If Newton said that there was a Flying Spaghetti Monster would you believe him without evidence? Abeg, carry your rationalization to one side.

Scientists can be wrong. Charles Darwin, the celebrated father of The Theory of Evolution was wrong about some aspects of his discovery and postulations. Sigmund Frued, the father of psychoanalysis said a lot of things that are now considered horseshit as it pertains to psychology. We don’t blindly follow the postulations of scientists. That is the difference between theism and science.

Learnstuffs:
God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. Gayism is against the natural order. Our parents took the decision to bring us to earth by having heterosexual relationship which is the natural way. And the fool they gave birth to decide to promote an obvious western culture. I will disown my child if he comes out gay, you can call me homophobic or stuffs. I can't stand that!!
We are called Homo salients not heterosexuals.

Our culture used to kill twins and bury rich people with their poor slaves. And the fool the ancestors gave birth to seems to think that culture is set in stone, that humans are meant for culture?
Christianity EtcRe: A Message From World's Greatest Ever Scientist To All Atheists World Over. Photo by Illuminatus(m): 6:13am On Dec 11, 2018
Ordinarily, I would walk past but I recognize that some impressionable fellow may stumble upon this thread and use it to justify some advanced sort of cognitive dissonance I would like to point out that:

1. Newton lived in a very peculiar time when the overall accepted knowledge was that God controls everything and man was at the center of the universe. It was fashionable to be religious and even when some scientific advancement wasn’t the result of a scientist cloaked in a monk’s robe, the church’s validation or denouncement spelt the fate of every scientist.

2. The statements you reported above are unverifiable, well, aren’t as verifiable as the Law of Gravity and the Law of Relativity.

3. The underlying rationale for that argument has been tested again and again and it has failed again whilst the law of gravity has stood the rest of time.

4. Religion remains a social construct, incapable of being universally true hence, the fact that one scientist ascribed to it whilst secretly nurturing doubts isn’t a fair point.

Hey,

It’s nice to see that you’re looking for budding writers to offer a platform and some sort of employment.

However, if you’re serious, you should give more information about what you plan and the prospects. Tell us if you plan to publish the works on a website and which website that is. Give us an estimate of what you are willing to pay and at what rate.

This limited information you’ve provided is rather sketchy.

Empiree:
He has his tuition paid off?

He needs to contact University of his choice for details before making any move.
He should google the school he wants and learn what they need.

The decision of which school should depend on cost, locale and school’s reputation.

Most definitely, he’ll need to write the IELTS exam, obtain reference letters and even tests for things like TB. The order for these items will depend on the country and school.

Again, he needs to do big time research or seek the counsel of a travel agent.

I just wrote a long epistle reviewing this book and it wiped off. I can't go through the stress again.. But one thing is for sure, this is one of the most illuminating book I have come across this year. I have never seen a book with so much expletives yet carries a profound loads of messages..

Manson tackles life issues from a whole different perspective, and to be honest I could identify so easily with the narratives., they were so real, yet striking. Twas a great read, one that has opened up a lot better channel as to what you should really give a fu*k about

I am going to be devouring Templar books next, starting with the rules of work; then rules of life. This month, I'd be reading a lot of nonfiction, lemme take a break from fiction, and explore other genres.
Hear! Hear!!

I read the book for the first time like eight months ago, I’ve read it twice again since then. The book contains insights that I think everyone of us knows on some basic level but have been trained to overlook.

This book will be a hard pill for most Nigerians to swallow sha, what with our genetic need to not mind our business. Lol.

I just finished Sefi Atta’s A Bit of Difference. Phew.

It’s a nice book, a relatable story. She writes good literary fiction. However, I was curious as to why she became so popular...until I figured out her relationship with another famous Nigerian.

Anyway, back to the book, I found it hard getting into the book in the beginning. It was a little tedious and the chapters are so long - comparably. Lolz.

However, when I started reading the second chapter, I have already settled in nicely with the story and the characters so for some reason I wouldn’t be quick to admit, I had begun to anticipate what would happen next.

The ending isn’t perfect but good. The author wrapped up the story well enough, and left enough open to interpretation for us to be engaged. I also didn’t have so much problems with the author getting a tad preachy with the whole homegoing bit, meh!

Lolz.

Again, I don’t know what I’m reading next. I’ll likely pick it at random. Maybe it’s time I go back to nonfiction?
