RomanceRe: Do I Go Ahead With My Plans for Her? by JastSiryin(m): 1:58pm On Dec 10, 2019
Richnerd69:
Thanks man. My decision to bring her over to PH was not with ulterior motives as people actually perceive it to be. Before I raised the suggestion to help her, I understood the risks involved and I still went ahead anyways. She's told me her story and her visions. Her aunt is making her settle for lesser than she bargained for, but where she's going to be positioned to serve, she would be properly paid like a normal entry staff aside her monthly allowance, and well catered for as she isn't the only one I've connected that way... My plan is to make her independent, so I won't be her cash clown. I have so many other responsibilities on my neck.

I've only been slightly sceptical of late, with the way people I closely confided in have been condemning my decision and tagging it as "stupid". I somewhat feel a bit stupid, but not driven or motivated by lust but out of human kindness and likeness, and I will try as much as possible to avoid body contact. I don't want to appear manipulative or possessive. I've called my mom and I told her everything, she trusts my decision but also hopes I'm not gonna regret my gesture.

Plus, we are both having this discussion tonight. I'm gonna give her a chance to reconsider her choice.. we probably might be heading way fast, or probably not. Thanks again.
You somewhat sound sincere, but I think you're being presumptuous. The reason being, that you've taken up the approach of trying to control things. Somehow in your mind, you think "here's a damsel in distress who I could 'groom' into my ideal woman",and have her do my bidding. I'm sure you already know that you could never truly experience true love nor a healthy relationship with that sort of arrangement. Honestly speaking, this is at its core manipulative, however the good intentions that you've masked it with.

And this is a fully grown lady full of suprises, able to make her decisions. Don't not be suprised when disagreements begin to arise. My advise to you is to never be fully invested(and I mean emotionally) until you can fully guage where things are going. Best case scenario you've got the woman of your dreams who buys fully into you.And in between, if things don't work out, you were able to show someone a new experience in a state she'd never been to. Worse scenario, you get the "live-puppet" you seek

In life and love, it isn't by how fast nor how slow but, acting at the right time. But how do we know when is? Well no one can say actually, all we can do is speculate.But many who have made the right move have spoken about just "knowing", like an intuition. You're moving fast, aren't you? Well let's see where this takes you. Goodluck man

Did u hear him say "we got down"?
Oga sex messes up things... If my assumptions are right BTW.
Op u can go ahead, it's that feeling u get when u feel u have arrived and have it all covered with a damn beautiful lady to warm ur bed and u tryna be the man for her and do the right thing after having sex just to prove that u are different from other guys, or to urself, that u are better.
Either way, it seems to me that u are sort of overcompensating for something somehow... Prolly things in ur past u ain't dealt with.
The good thing is, it's never easy having someone else in ur space and in a short while, d feeling and all d sex tips will be exhausted and u will realise that love is not a feeling...
Then u will create another thread and ask us how to get her to leave ur house "without " hurting her.
Ciao!!
Don't think I've got the wherewithal to read the whole comments here... But from the few I've read, you've made the most sense. I'd also like to add that OP hasn't quite 'healed' from his past relationship, part of the reason for his haste with this girl. I think he found the "void" unbearable hence the need to fill it as soon as possible . I didn't find his excuse of "trying something different" convincing to say the least.

What he means to say is we are not Ibos. Shame that instead of supporting an ethnic group that is being clearly marginalised, he is helping to ostracise them. Ikwerre people better be careful. The day will come when you will NdiIgbo and you will be forced to eat your words.

The truth is Nobody is forcing anyone to be Igbo. When all these groups start crying that they are not Igbo, it is because their own members are claiming Ibo ,not the Ibo claiming them. So they are to discourage their own members by saying "We are not Ibo. Being Igbo or any ethnicity is a state of mind. You can exile yourself if you want. Nobody is trying to force you.
If igbos are being marginalized what would you say about the lesser tribes? I keep telling people that having an igbo man as president would not change anything,because we've got our priorities wrong. It would only continue the same nepotism and corruption that's been the norm. Because behind this fight for representation is the same selfish interest of greedy politicians also wanting a slice of the pie. As for the masses? As long as they have "their man" in power they wouldn't care if they still continued living impoverished lives, so far they boost their collective egos. This is the motive behind our voting habits, and it's just sad.

Our Zoning system is anti-nationalistic, it's just wrong.It wouid have been better if we'd gone our separate ways than continue in this sham of a federal system. No tribe should feel entitled to the seat of power. It is our collective responsibility as citizens to elect anybody we see fit, irrespective of gender, ethnicity, or religion. On the basis of a sound political ideology and an enviable track record. Let's wise up abeg

yes they spent money and body to make their gifts work. But I hope you know that it's almighty God that gave them the funds and body to make it work.
Yeah sure... But if you're a Christian, then it applies to you also. You're not something different, you've also got what secular people call "natural gifts". It's not something only applicable to Pastors and Musicians. But with that being said, these ppl do "depend" on you. To the degree that God "depends on people" in order to make things happen. Like it or not the money is gonna come through very formal means, and that's from the pockets of people. Unless of course, by personal conviction the musician decides to peddle his gift freely even though he's under "no obligation" to do that completely. It's still a profession bro, that's just the truth. Man must wack, whether child of God or not. I'm not a staunch Christian by any means but that's something I believe is true

Stupidity is a curse that makes the stupid man potentially dangerous to himself and those around him. You are afflicted by this curse and the only cure is the singular act of fully using your brain.

LiteratureRe: What Inspires You To Write? by JastSiryin(m): 11:01am On Nov 26, 2019
LarrySun:
I really can't tell, honestly. Stories just pop into my head and I write. But the more I write a story, the better the plots get. Also, I'm a fan of surprise endings; therefore, no matter what story I write, I try my best to infuse the surprise.

Perhaps I can say my inspiration is drawn from the fact that I want to prove to the world that Nigerians can also come up with great storylines.

I used to read a lot of novels while growing up. It got to a stage where I started feeling that I could write better stories than some of the novels I read. But I was scared of writing. I could only read, I didn't believe I could write. Indeed, I couldn't speak anything grammatically-accurate. At a time, I debated about the idea of writing in my local language, but hell, I suck at that too. Yet, the stories forming in my head couldn't leave me alone.

Ironically, I was the best English Language student in my class, but I couldn't speak the language perfectly. Funny but true. I didn't believe in myself. I saw writing a story as a very big deal. I didn't know I had to start from somewhere.

The ideas in my head eventually took over. I started with a very short story, an incomplete one. I showed it to some of my friends, but they didn't show interest in it because they weren't accustomed to reading stories. The story went without a single person reading it. But that first attempt helped me a lot. It helped me to start believing in myself. It inspired me to go push further. If I could write something like that, then I should be able to write something better.

I started my first novel in 2007 and ended it in 2010. It was my most fulfilling three years. Nobody knew I was writing a story. I would lock myself in my room and write. I finished it within the first year, of course, but I spent the remaining two years polishing and repolishing it, adding and subtracting ideas. When I was done. I locked it away in my shelf. No one knew about it. I told nobody.

In 2011, I had a girlfriend. Lol! She encouraged me further. I came out of my shell and told her I wrote a story. I think it just came out unexpectedly. She wasn't a novel-reader either, I had no reason to tell her. But it slipped out. As soon as I said it, she got interested. She begged me to read it to her. I was scared. A lot of things bothered me. She might be bored like my initial friends. The last thing I wanted to do was to shove what I had done down the throats of people who gave no damn. But she continued begging me to read it to her. I decided that I would give her the manuscript to read herself. I was sure that she would drop it after the first page like my other friends had done with my initial short story. Besides, I didn't have the best handwriting in the world.

She insisted that I read it to her. She wanted something romantic, hearing me read to her was her idea of a perfect romance. Perhaps she thought I wrote a romantic story. But what I wrote wasn't Romance, it was Detective Mystery. Surely, she would sleep off, or just ask me to shut up, please!

I started reading while she lay on my laps. Oh Lord! For hours, I was reading the story to her. She listened to me quietly. When I thought she had gone to sleep, she would ask me a few questions just to show that she was following. By the time I got to a few chapters, she was no longer laying her head on my laps, she was sitting and resting her head on my shoulder and watching my mouth. Lol! She was probably seeing the characters and actions from my speech. Halfway, she was totally enthralled. By the time I finished, she had cried and laughed and jumped with happiness. She confessed that it was the best story she had ever read. From the way she said it, I believed her.

That statement is what has been keeping me going till today. She believed in me when I didn't even believe in myself. Although I am not yet a complete writer, I still have a lot to learn; but I owe everything I am today to her because she is my first reader. We are separated but we are still very good friends.

After that, I started nursing the idea of typing the story. I couldn't afford to pay to get it typed, I would go anywhere I could find a free PC to type. To cut everything short, I discovered Nairaland shortly after typing it in 2012. There were a lot of like-minded people here posting their stories. I was initially scared that my story would be stolen if I posted it online. After much thoughts, I decided to give it a go.

Mehn! It was one of the best decisions I had made. Almost everyone who read it loved it. They all inspired me. It became such a sensational NL work that a lot of other people plagiarised it on their various platforms. Someone even publicly claim ownership to the work. Lol! To be honest, I never thought I would write any book after that one. I only wrote it to prove that I could write a better story than some of these bestselling writers. But the raves from Nairaland inspired me to write a sequel, which a lot of people told me was even crazier than the first book.

I apologise for this long epistle. Lol! I just want to tell you that anyone who desires to become a writer can be. There's nothing stopping you except you. You have to believe in yourself. If I can do it, then you can definitely do it. Forget about the fear of being mocked for errors. You will only get better. If you have that story in your head, WRITE IT! However, whichever, whenever!

Peace!

LSD smiley
Man your story is nothing short of inspiring. Some people, by virtue of their presence and encouragement push us further along our path. Your ex was amazing for what she did smiley

Well novels aren't my thing, but I have an intense admiration for people who can creatively put thought into writing. That being said, I've always loved the skill of writing raps. I do feel I've got the flair for it but I just can't find it in me to finish a song or fully flesh out the ideas that swirm endlessly in my mind.

Sometimes I wonder if my insistence on one day breaking my duck is just nothing more than trying to grasp water. Maybe the rhymes are just incoherent gibberish. But I'm not ready to call it quits just yet

I'm much better... Because I respect the rights of others, and don't feel my religion should be used as a political tool to impose my beliefs. Sharia isn't a law that protects the rights of the accused, it is archaic. It doesn't take a genius to realise that. What makes y'all so special that you can't abide by the state law?

Sure every religious person has certain aspects of the law they find incompatible with their beliefs, but for the most part it is "fair" because it was made in view of "all Nigerians" irrespective of religion.

If we weren't so hypocritical about this "One Nigeria" nonsense, I don't see why any state would be under sharia law. That being said you've got your priorities wrong, this isn't what we should be focusing on
