You can't control the fact that people will annoy you , what you can control is your reaction- buddha

The foregoing quote is set to adress some issues and lay them to rest .

I have come to the realization that pearlescent display does not come , but it's inherent and, this ivvy or her conduct has brought to bear.

Any mind would be deemed fantastically corrupt if it throws away principle and logic into the air in exchange of affiliative politicking and politico. This is a pluscachange , saying I'm not aware of this extant and ugly trend would qualify me to be described as an Alice in wonderland nairaland . But what is more important is how we identify the issue and adress them head-on.

[b]I'm supporting ivvy out of an unflinching conviction and , so is your support for your chosen candidate or contestant, this is the most important thing 'cos it's what we all have in common as far as this contest is concerned.

We're humans(creature of many imperfections) and we are all the same . We sometimes throw away commonsense and allow our emotions to take control of us. When you see this on display by any member of team ivvy, ivvy should not be blamed because she has no control over emotional rage built in people including those in her team.

I'm a staunch supporter of ivvy ...a discerning mind should not judge ivvy based on my cognitive dissonance - my support and that of every member of her team is independent and to a large extent distanced from our individual action. Don't hold or judge ivvy based on those you see fighting in her name - as good christians, Muslims, atheists, pagans etc, forgive and forget the fighter and follow ivvy(Atleast, because of those begging for your votes.[/b]

This is not the first miss nairaland contest and I believe it's not going to be the last . We are seen as opponents today because of our various candidates, and might be seen belonging to the same camp/team because of another candidate tomorrow. Then why the bad blood?
I enjoin all, Let's bury our hatchet and focus on what we have in common and not our differences and the possibility of them .
Avoid brawl , guffaw and heehaw !

A question for Ivvy: As a graduate of Communication Art, what do you feel/think is the best way for this current government, to use communication as the focal point, to breach and end the endless chasm (religious and political intolerance) the exist in this country presently. Putting into cognizance, that Nigeria is a country full of diverse ethnic and religious background.

Thank you.
In my opinion, the social media is the way to go. Government should encourage the youth by enhancing the ICT education in our various schools. This should drive the information dissemination of government activities. Creation of a platform where youths Robb minds for enhanced socioeconomic awareness won't be a bad idea.

Proposals are not firmed up over the cyberspace. Firstly you need to be closer to your buddy and fratanise with him or her physically. However, my reaction would neither be yes or no tongue.

Is CBN devaluation of naira a step in the right direction? Give your reasons.
Ideally, devaluing the naira is to encourage exports, because the prices of local products serve as an incentive and a toast for foreign buyers. In the process, we earn foreign exchange, increase production and create additional jobs.

Unfortunately, that is not the position with Nigeria as we are an import dependent country.

Just today, there was a tactical devaluation of our currency leaving a free floating naira and this should be advantageous to the economy in the long run

Recently, many hearts were broken when Seun banned Forex Trading as well as Football Betting. What's your take on the people who are addicted to these form of businesses?

People have been bullying our president for his inability to meet up with the educational requirements for a president. Do you believe certificate is a yardstick to successfully rule a nation?

Do you see yourself winning this contest? What gives you the impression that you will get to the final stage

If you won the crown and you were awarded the sum of N50, 000 as promised; How would you share the money among your campaign managers?

While I can not totally agree on Seun's decision to ban forex trading and football betting on nairaland, as I believe everyone should have the right to choose what is wrong or right from the site, as long as it is not illegal or morally wrong, I also I understand why Seun took the decision because generally betting discourages youths from investing their time and energy in profitable investment.

Nevertheless, I believe sports betting should be an expression of an individuals passion for whatever sports that interests them. I believe more people need to be educated on the reasons why they should engage in such ventures.


In my opinion presiding over a country goes beyond having a 'certificate' (which is paramount by the way), it has to do with understanding the way a country works, the driving force of a typical Nigerian on the streets, the working structure already existing.

Of course, having a certificate is a prerequisite for becoming a president, but it should not be the deciding factor on the leadership capabilities, economically soundness and emotional clearness needed for a leader of a great nation such as Nigeria. Robert Mugabe is currently the world's most educated president while Abraham Lincoln is one American least educated president. Between the two of them, who would you rather have govern Nigeria right now?

Yes sire, I see myself winning this. I'm intelligent and articulate. I've got a magnetic personality that makes me unique. I am calm, poised, gracious, reserved and likeable.

On the prize money, i and my team members have decided to use it for our charity project to help people fighting depression.

These are relationship questions cool

viii. Broke guys have no business being in relationships. What's your take on it?

ix. What's your definition of a husband material?

x. If you were a man and you discovered on your wedding night that your acclaimed virgin wife only lied about being a virgin. Would any amount of begging make you forgive and accept her back?, and how would you handle the situation?

xi. Can you date a yahoo boy? If yes, why? If no, why?

Ideally every adult has a right to be in a relationship if they deem it fit. So going by my perspective, a broke guy is entitled to be in a relationship as long as he is being loved and accepted for who he is.

On husband material. Becoming a family person involves maturity and emotional balance and more importantly, the ability to provide the basic needs of your future family. This factors to me determine how much of a husband material a man is.

Yes, I will definitely forgive. I got married to her for so many other beautiful reasons asides her virginity. Heaven knows I'd be really mad and almost inconsolable at first but I would heal. However, I would need some space to achieve that grin.

I can't date a yahoo guy. "Yahoo' is illegal and should be condemned as it portrays a negative view of our society. In as much as the yahoo guys are humans, I would not date someone who goes against what is ethically and morally right.

Ivyy how does one help a depressed friend. How does one understand what a depressed friend feels.

How do we cope with depressed people around us, when we cannot even fathom how they feel or think.

You know depression causes undue anger and lashing out. How do we manage this.
Be persistent dear. Don't ignore and think they would get over it all by themselves. If you are aware of the source of their depression, then you could help out with it. Try and make things lighter and easier for them.

You will need to be really patient and whatever you do, don't ever give up on them. Just keep trying! Take them out, be a confidant, crack jokes, get them to talk to someone etc.
My dear, Just be available kiss kiss

Hi Ivvy, I really appreciate the way you analyzed this topic. I've kind of been a victim of "depression" for a very long time.... It even goes as far as while I was in primary school and even till now. The only reason I haven't carried out my suicide thoughts is my mother because I love her so much.... I've been on the brink of suicide so many times but people around me do not know. I've just had to keep myself going by holding on to "hope" that things will get better even when they turn out pretty worse anyway that's me...
Dear, Suicide is not an option and It can NEVER replace the Solution.. I cannot say that your days won't be shrugged with travails, but I can assure you that eventually things will fall into place.

What I would Advise based on experience are as follows

1. Try to Ponder over the good things Life has offered so far even in your travails smiley.

2. Get a confidant or mentor someone you can relate with. Someone capable of reaching out to you, getting you out of the sober mood you always find yourself cheesy cheesy.

3. Do things that make you happy. Do this with family and friends. Take a walk and appreciate life. Read inspirational books, listen to music, go into volunteering. In short, get out of yourself! Avoid sulking dearie kiss kiss.

4. Give Thanks to God at all. Muslim or Christian there is no greater love than that of God. And there is no plan more superior than that which He has for your life. Don't take a life you didn't create embarassed.

God is moved when you thank Him for "nothing".Trust God with his words.

If you are Christian, remind Him of His words, for He honours His words. Reference scriptures like Deuteronomy 31:8, Psalm 40:1-3, Psalm 42:11, Isaiah 41:10, John 16:33 wink wink.

Learn to enjoy every bit of your life, Cause no one Is getting out of this world alive smiley grin.

Very insightful post.

I also had long bouts with depression as an undergraduate and it only took the grace of God to get over it.
Its sad that our society don't have enough therapists and councellors to help sufferers get out of it.

It now falls on family members and friends to look out for their loved ones.

Everyone is bound to have episodes of depression. Sometimes it has causes that are purely environmental, its agreed that many in war torn regions suffer a great deal from depression, its difficult to not be depressed when the environment you find yourself is bleak. I am of the school of thought that humans need to be taught how to handle depression. Its something that comes and should be managed quickly else it degenerates to more severe conditions of failing health or even insanity.

Man is a very social being, we tend to conform a lot to our environment a lot, depressive thoughts occcur most frequently when people are indoors and alone. Being alone allows the mind to exagerate life's problems and dissapointments which in turn could cause one to be depressed.

Thus I feel people who aren't socially balanced will always strugle with depresion more than those who live more active social lives, they usually never have time to have deep thoughts and thus depresive feelings
At bolded, very true in most cases.

Dats how I dealt wit it or dats how I still deal wit it. Everybody has issues but not everybody is depressed dats anoda common mistake, d un-depressed people keep yellin and designin pictures dat tell u u don't deserve to be sad or depressed or u shud grow up or u shud just not be depressed...

@ post , exactly no one should be ignorant of this condition.
HealthLet’s Talk About Depression by ivyy(op): 4:51pm On Jun 12, 2016
I was 15, I came home on holiday, I knew I ought to be happy, but I was not. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t fathom what was wrong with me. I began to withdraw from my family, quietly at first, then, my feeling of alienation grew until I convinced myself no one cared about me. I would spend hours in my room, alone, doing nothing but refusing to talk or even see anyone.

I was disinterested in the whole world. Gradually I became angry, angry at myself, angry at everyone around me and angry with the world. I would snap at those closest to me at the slightest provocation and just like that, I became a very unhappy teenager.

The nights were no better either. I would toss and turn in bed wishing sleep could take me away even for just a few minutes. I spent most nights stealing my mother’s sleeping pills just to get relief to my insomnia. Although, I can’t exactly remember how I overcame it, it took me quite a while to understand that what I went through at that age was depression. When I think about it now, I realise that it could have been worse.

People who do not understand the real nature of this condition may simply associate it with self-indulgence or a fleeting emotion or mood. A major misconception is the belief that depression is basically a character flaw, something common with attention seeking spoiled brats. Little wonder why well-meaning family and friends who are ignorant of the seriousness of this condition would wave it off subtly or say things like “get over it, it is all in your mind”.

What depression is
Depression is a serious condition that not only affects the mind but the entire well-being of an individual. It is the state of being unwell physically, emotionally and psychologically

Depression is uncontrollable. Like many other mental conditions, depression can be proven scientifically. Scientists say that depression is caused by a disorder in the brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are some of the brain circuits responsible for mood, sleep, appetite, thinking and behaviour. When these neurotransmitters become impaired, depression will most likely occur.


Fact 1: many people will suffer from this condition at some point in their life time . This is because as humans, we are all susceptible to general feelings of sadness, negativity, helplessness and emptiness. However, major depressive moods are highly distinguished and identified by its severity, persistence and duration.

Fact 2: Since depression is relatively common in humans, it is known to occur in one in every five individuals. This is why this condition should be considered seriously and given adequate attention it deserves.

Fact 3: Depression is understood to often worsen the symptoms of other diseases. For instance, people who are depressed and yet suffer from stroke or other heart related diseases are more likely to die earlier than non-depressed patients suffering from a similar ailment.

Some common symptoms of depression include: The seemingly unending feelings of emptiness, restlessness, shame and guilt. Depressed individuals also often experience disturbances in their sleep, poor appetites, bleak and pessimistic views of the future, hopeless misery, general sense of numbness, no capacity for emotion, irritable feelings, general feelings of weakness, chronic boredom, reoccurring thoughts of death and even worse suicidal thoughts. As a result, many depressed individuals eventually resort to self-destructive behaviours such as alcohol and drug abuse. Those who suffer these depressive moods stated above should be considered severely ill. They are harmful to themselves and those around them. Frankly, the need and effort to create or increase awareness for this condition cannot be overemphasized. Even The World health Organisation (WHO) calls our attention to this condition. WHO states that by the year 2020, depression will be the major cause of disability worldwide.

Perhaps what makes depression difficult to recognise as an illness is that often or most times it is not visible to casual observers. For instance, when coming in contact with severely depressed people, many may dismiss them as being simply reserved, timid or even rude. However, there should be no reason to be ignorant of this condition, for it is this persistent bias associated with depression that has led to its under recognition and under treatment and hence, has impeded its management.

If you have observed these symptoms of depression in a family member, close relative or friend, please do not ignore. Talk to them, get them to share or get them the help they need.

Let us not forget, being happy is staying healthy.
