Lithiumite: These things are normal and expected with the ground breaking reforms introduced by this govt such as removal of petrol subsidy and devaluation of the currency.....those in export business are smiling right now and also those at the bottom of the agric value chain has never had it this good,I can personally attest to this.
It's now cheaper for a Togolese or Cameroonian to come to ABA to buy textiles or shoes than to import directly from Asia.
1st of all, nothing is normal about a reform carried out on a wrong methodology , a reform that only minimizes the people spending while the political class are living larger than life itself is not normal
Can you even listen to yourself, what export, whats the fraction of people into export, what you consider happiness is what is subject Nigeria to excruciating pain, you are happy that your country currency is valueless, when you export n make dollar you cash out big, how as it reflected growth on the economu
i hope you are not a literate cos how can you insinuate your currrency losing value is a boost for trade, you think cheaper by currency value is a good drive for any economy... just unbelievable
otipoju: You see that changing of circle is the " wickedness" that Adekunle is referring to.
His nature as a giver and kind person will not change, he is going to learn to adjust so that they don't render him useless. Takers never stop taking. Na you go protect you treasures from parasites so that you sef no go die.
lolzz! you must be living in adekunle mind, how did he insinuate change of circle yorubas have said it, ore ni won, kindness get limit,
when you assist people and place expectations on it, it always comes back hurting and draining. thats why we say help with what you can afford to spare, no go cut your neck for somebody nd carry expectation he must cut his leg for you ..... rarara o !!! 🤣
Don jazzy as being giving since when, those wey dey take from am, how many fit buy 2017 G- wagon our treasure never reach nii, when tick sucks dog blood to a level e go burst
Fryx: Now, that Adekunle voice out, why not empathize with him. Should he have kept it in and let it grow till it eventually turn to evil?
If a man sees fit to mistreat his wife, and the woman could not have anyone to comfort her to the extent of poisoning him, then the man reap his benefits.
That’s why it’s good to voice out or detach yourself from what you don’t like.
Except a woman is even evil, which in that case she will marry an evil man. It is not easy for someone to just decide to poison her husband except she has had enough and could find no one to talk to.
Empathy is good. No one is perfect. But by helping each others grow, we will build a better society.
Evil people don’t say it out. Adekunle is a musician. The use of wickedness is more of being strict and detached than willfully hurting people. Similar to “Kala, daju” which are slangs Olamide use. They don’t necessarily mean being evil, but being more strict.
He is considering that part because he is hurt and cannot handle it. If he change, it won’t hurt people around him. It will only make them more responsible, and it will help him pass that phase.
Evil people don’t say it out. They do it.
Empathize with people, dont just judge them.
Empathy is for the weak, there is no point ranting when he found a new way, if adekunle wants to be wicked he can do it without sharing it, posting it is like disparaging help, we dont need such vibe among humans
Fiscus105: People are begging on the platform on daily basis, how many have you assisted?
So, keep shut when rational human beings are discussing, with common sense.
Your type are dangerous to people around you, because of ur super entitlement mentality.
NB, people around you owe you no obligations, to give out from whatever they have. You have your own hands, use them to make money, and make yourself happy
how does not helping people on nairaland invalidate my good deeds around my people and neighbours .. or i owe you reciept screenshots
Here we go again ... adekunle did not even give details, so how did you guyz arrive at "entitlement" sef.
Maybe i am devil himself, if i no go help i will turn you down jejely But hiding under Entitlement or looking for justification to be stingy is what people like me will never do.
why is that nobody wants to accept we are stingy ?? if only those our uncles know the word " entitlement" those days
Lordbinsmar: Alaye go dash pipu all you savings before I will take you serious.
All this wey u dey talk naa childish talk.
Oga own your stingyness with full chest , if you dont want to help your children sef, its your money, your choice own it with full chest
no need to come online dey shout me 1st, the house you rent for your parent e beta pass where you live, abi you don see sugar daddy wey rent mansion for side chick but him dey stay 2bed flat
Axis313: I wonder how some slowpokes believes that a human being like them that eat,piss,defecate and sleeps is "God".Surely,those colonial missionaries have done a very good work on these gullible sheeples.
when God said he created Man in his own form and likeness what was that suppose to mean
everything you find in Man is in God, jesus is the son of God coming to earth, when you live in rome you behave like rome.
colonial or no colonial nothing can bring more peace to the world than xtainity, same xtainity eroded many barbaric and gruesome practices
Fryx: And who told you Olamide does not have one or two areas where he is being wicked (without necessarily being evil).
Age is just a number. Experience matters in human development.
If he act childish, then he is a child.
Again, being Evil is different from being Wicked.
why not back it up with instances, ofcus olamide cant help 100 of 100, is that even possible, what as age got to here, your experiences should be a lesson not a life sentence
98% of people who had car accident upon recovery go back to driving But when you do good and people pay you back with evil ... we want to change, i must be wicked ventures
naa from clap dance dey start, wickedness naa CV, while evil be the job.
Lordbinsmar: Alaye leave people make dem do wetin they want with their money. Enough of all this entitlement mentality.
If you like gift all your money to people including your life savings. There is a saying that the day a blind man gains his sight the first thing he will discard is lamenting to me the same walking stick he has used for years. This is just the reality of life.
Same way Oshinme talk say he give a friend 5000 euros and the guy still turn am to enemy say the money small. He for give am 1 million euros? or if Oshinme dey dash every body wey he sabi for Nigeria 5000 euros how e wan take survive. Naa this same set of pipu go still mock am say he no save for rainy days if he go broke for furture.
Any sensible human being knows what Adekunle Gold meant as being wicked is not allowing your self to be used. Just now a friend of mine is lamenting say the same person wey he gift 2500 euros cannot even help him run an errand we no even cost am up to 10 euros at last he still shenk am.
Even me self my motto for 2025 is ME FIRST. If person dey continue to do Mr nice guys naa soo you go dey work for other pipu to chop. And wen person use nice guy pia him self, this same pipu will move on like nothing happened.
It's not that you can't help people, but don't allow yourself to be used over and over again. That's the message.
cliche ! how am i forcing people, i think people are beginning to abuse the word " entitlement" on all sides... nobody will directly admit they are stingy ... just scream "entitlement" and people will bring out sword
if i enjoy being stingy, thats my nature why cant i full own up to it, why hide under justifications or "entitlement"
I dont believe anyone in these present generation put themselves last, all these me 1st naa childish talk, when did you not eat because you gave a neighbour the available food, at no time did anyone say help at your detriment,
Don jazzy has given more money out these year compared to portable wey no send anybody papa, he gather money pass jazzy these year.
My stand is, whatever you decide, do it but keep it to yourself.
DemonSlayer: OK, I’m not sure I completely understand your point, but here’s what I think you mean:
Each trait, perceived as unpleasant for being on one extreme, can have an equally unpleasant opposite extreme. For example, the opposite of being over-talkative could be someone who is completely unresponsive and contributes nothing substantial to a conversation, only interjections ehn, are you serious, ah ahn 😂 I know this type too.
If that’s the case, I tend to agree with you. Let’s revisit your original question, then go through the list, and imagine their polar opposites. I’ll also consider how I’d likely react to or what outcomes might result from each. (Caveat: These opposites might not be their “natural” counterparts—I’m intentionally taking them to extremes)
1. Turnoff: Interrupting habit
Opposite: Always lets you finish speaking before responding. Outcome: Better communication, but conversations might feel mechanical. Reaction: Admiration and respect for her communication skills, I sha value a natural flow.
2. Turnoff: Over-talkative
Opposite: Barely speaks or engages. Outcome: Conversations lack depth, preventing a meaningful connection. Reaction: Still a turnoff, as balanced communication is not too much to ask for.
3. Turnoff: Excessive family gossip
Opposite: Keeps personal interactions with family private and avoids gossip. Outcome: Limited family bonding or bonds formed around different topics. Reaction: Likely admiration for her discretion, turn-on.
4. Turnoff: Sharing secrets
Opposite: Keeps others' business completely confidential. Outcome: Builds trust and encourages me to be more open in my interactions with her. Reaction: Strong admiration for her trustworthiness. Hot AF. 🔥
5. Turnoff: Self-obsessed
Opposite: Poor self-image, Outcome: frequently seeking validation. Reaction: Mixed—enjoyment from supporting her growth in building self confidence but frustration if it becomes too draining.
6. Turnoff: Virtue signaling
Opposite: Vice signaling (bragging about bad behavior). Outcome: I for don already log out tey-tey. Reaction: repulsion due to misaligned values. Turnoff!
7. Turnoff: Clingy behavior/obsessive tendencies
Opposite: I don't care attitude. Outcome: no spark, no connection. Reaction: turnoff!
As already mentioned, I don't consider these above to be natural opposites, just a test for extremes for the sake of building an argument. Below is what I consider as the opposites of the originally listed turnoffs.
1. Respectful Listener: Engages in conversations without interrupting, understands that other people also have something to say.
2. Good Conversationalist: Maintains balance, not chochocho all the damn time. You need to listen to what others have to say too.
3. Healthy Family Dynamics: No excessive gossip. They should all mind their business.
4. Discreet: Protects others’ privacy.
5. Modest Confidence: Comfortable in her own skin without constant boasting or reminding you want a catch she is.
6. Genuinely Kind: She's generous and kind without parroting what she has done to whoever cares to listen.
7. Emotionally Balanced: Respects personal space. 3 missed max then send text expressing your concern and wait.
Funnily shey you know there is no "correct answer" sef, its all just base on perception, personality and turn on/off
another man food is another man poison don talk am finish
Fryx: If you are truly nice, then you will tell him to man up. Everyone is not as experienced or matured as you. If he has no reason, he won’t create a post.
Downplaying his thought without hearing him out will either break him or harden him. That’s not nice.
If you did that and he insulted you, then you can choose to ignore or I insult him however you wish.
But you can’t just judge people or insult people without first making efforts to make them better.
Believe me Adekunle is a grown man he doesnt sound like he needs advise or opinion. if you cant promote good dont promote bad
whatever adekunle is facing, people plenty wey get similar experience, our emotion must not get the best of Us
if olamide had decided to be wicked base on one or two, maybe Adekunle wont be a superstar, dont let emotions run you
I have not judged Adekunle in anyway, what i am against is what he promoted.
Tu face sang amaka disappoint me but he didnt insinuate dont marry any "amaka"
geoworldedu: I actually meant what I said there. Those periods I spend more than 70% of my money on people both online and offline and around 30% on myself. But gone are those days. Now I can't even spend 10% on others within a month, except my family members.
LoLzz ! lets say you make 10m in a year, so you spend 7m on outsiders and 3m on yourself ... ok o!
Fryx: According to that guy. If you are nice, you are nice. Nothing should stop it.
So, you are telling me now that Adekunle making a mistake has make you not to be nice to him.
What happens to “if you are nice you are nice.” Shouldn’t you be nice to him regardless?
Adekunle was regretting being nice, and that had make him evil. And you are better than him.
Moreover, I give when necessary. I help when necessary. But I don’t condone laziness, stupidity, and entitlement.
The problem here is that Adekunle has a bad experience and you all said he is evil. Yet, you are here judging him. Hypocrite.
If your nature is being nice, embrace it and dont do past yourself
Adekunle did not make a mistake, he made a resolution i respect that, but that post was unnecessary cos it promote wickedness.
How can i be nice, where there is no need, request or demand man wey don conclude, decide, no need input
what you did n regret is what someone else did and reaped bountifully, life bro because you marry yellow gurl she show you shege you jump out n tell people to stop marrying yellow gurlz, rite
If adekunle had a ghastly motor accident that break his leg (God 4bid) will he becos of that stop using car, upon recovery
Adekunle had a bad experience being a nice guy. He voiced his pain. But instead of your nice crooners to sympathize with him, they say he is evil.
Are they responsive to his pain?
Well. For me, not matter the situation, I consider the point of whoever is responsible and try to judge based on their condition rather than based on sentiment.
The nice crooners here are irresponsive to Adekunle pain. So we can safely call them wicked.
They add salt to his injury. That’s not how to judge. You see, refusing to use your brain all in the name of nicety only complicates things.
Let me tell you, people appreciates my brutality more than me being unnecessary nice (thinking people). It hurts, but it makes them better.
Moreover, the meaning of Wicked as used in England is exactly as I said it. The general meaning is different from its original meaning and use.
who dey do good wey never recieve fair share of backstabbing, you think don jazzy or olamide no get stori
Adekunle lost empathy the moment he promoted wickedness, if he thinks wickedness his what can profit him, he can go to CAC.
You seems to muddle up things a lot, being nice should be a norm, yoruba adage says oré ni won i.e kindness get limit We are not saying be kind at your own detriment, if my friend i visit cant pay his rent why will i watch is landlord kick him out when i can conveniently assist, if he doesnt appreciate e dey pain but the inner fulfillment i get will suffice.
I dont still understand your idea of "unnecessarily nice" is that what adekunle told you, you think people around appreciate your brutality that because being rich will shield you, pray you dont have problem or go broke you go know whatsup
geoworldedu: There was a time I actually spent far more money on people than on myself. I so much love human beings then, such that even when someone stole my stuffs, I will say, "Well, it is okay, so far the person is going to use it to meet his need, it is good." When we went for a field trip, I spent my money feeding a course mate morning, afternoon and evening to the point that the course mate told me that he will like to give his sister to me to marry. When I asked why, he said," So that he can chop my money finish."
That same colleague, I borrowed him my last cash, promising he will pay back the following week. He didn't pay back and when I asked for it because I was totally out of cash(I don't even know how to ask for my money back in those days) the guy began to shout at me and call me names.
Fast forward to a decade after, I have become one of the stingiest person on earth. Till date, the transformation still baffles me to the extent that sometimes I try to give by force but I can't just see myself giving. This one shock me o. Now I realize that kindness, wickedness etc can be learnt and unlearnt. It is not necessarily a natural thing.
I'm afraid that cant be true, calculate how much you have spent on your sef vs what you spent for outsiders these year ... you cant be on deficit
Bro, i can relate, in my university days i have 6 boiz squatting in my 2bed apartment and i provided food for 3yrs, at the end some even said did they force me that i just wanted to show off .. but people rarely get to me cos i have very very low expectations of humans,
I wont say my generousity have paid off, but bro nothing fit change "who i am" ... if i dont help as a friend just know say e no dey that moment if you are stingy cos that it your nature i respect that, but allowing people change who you are, Nah !!! i rather change circle.
Fryx: The original meaning of wickedness is not a bad thing. It is actually a compliment.
For context, I am wicked. But not evil.
I will ensure you follow the rules when appropriate. I will also punish you appropriately.
But I dont just punish. I also consider you when making decisions. However, I will ensure the right things are done even if it makes you uncomfortable.
However, I don’t wish bad things on you. I wish for your progress and I am not jealous of you.
That’s being wicked.
Being unnecessarily nice is foolish. It destroys us all.
Most women are nice because it is their nature. Most men are wicked because it is necessary to create a balance.
None is evil in its original form. But once selfishness and vengeance began to sip in, even a nice man can become nice with the intention of evil. That’s evil.
Oga you suppose write your own dictionary, cos your descriptions no follow
wicked means being unresponsive to another person pain, or just unconcerned
wicked could also be termed your action against others, like what Tinubu is doing
Wickedness is bad because its either causing someone pain or leaving someone in pain.
"Nice" should be a way of life, and their is no such thing as "unnecessarily nice" .. people wont need you if its not necessary, i cant have food in the house and still come to your door to beg for food people are unnecessarily nice when they have interior motive ... check well
i wont say women are nice lets just say they are more compassionate, women are naturally "takers" nice entails doingss
do what you can do and what you cant leave it .. as long as my conscience is clear i am gud
otipoju: We live in a time where kindness is taken as weakness and is prone to be exploited util you are financially, physically and emotionally drained.
Learning to say No even if you can help is ultra important...abd that is what to naturally kind people feel as wickedness.
The disadvantage of being kind all the time us that you unconsciously teach people to remember you only when they want something...and once they unconsciously label you as that...they will never turn up for you when you are in need even if they have the means.
This December I just dey ignore all the different requests wey I dey get...and it will be like that for a very long time. It's time to focus on me and me alone. Takers never stop taking.
My father use to tell me one thing, he will say son if by tomorrow you make it, before you spend 10k for me you don spend 1million on yourself
All these focus on me and me alone talk are childish talk, check your life you will see there is no time you did more for people than you ever did for yourself.
Don jazzy is a cheerful giver rite, he even gave a whooping 100m out, But that man bought cars worth 2bn for himself, naa by wickedness
even if adekunle block simi and his daughter, focus on himsef and himsef alone can he buy 2bn worth of car
You wanna be stingy or wicked, own it will your full chest,
If the news said tiwa is begging,was r@ped,she's into prostituti00n, she's broke,her husband brutalised her,body go dey sweet una but to hear a woman is successful ,e don bring tears to your eyes You never start
When i see talks like these one i just laugh it off
who brought tiwa savage out , tee billz who signed tiwa to marvin, don jazzy
do you know timaya paid for waje music video, yet men dont love to see women succeed.
The number of women that there successful have nothing to do with men in Nigeria ... i doubt if they are up to 5%
unclejb2: You are mad. What has your numerous checkpoints achieved in the south east . Nothing. When did the south east become volatile compared to how long the military has waged this unseen warfare
the mission is mainly; survelliance, monitor what goes in and out of that region
DemonSlayer: Madly in love with? Naah, too old for that sh!t.
However, if the question were what turned you off from someone you fancied, I could pull out a fairly recent instance. I could list a bunch of things that turned me off, but here are the top seven.
1. She has a habit of interrupting. I'd be right in the middle of a sentence expressing my thoughts, and she'd just interrupt and hijack the conversation. I find that rude and off-putting because this attitude has to sit on the assumption that what she has to say is more important than what I'm already saying. I'm not used to struggling to put a word in, or having to raise my voice in a perfectly civil conversation just to be heard. Along the same lines is:
2. She talks too much. We could be on the phone for an hour, and she'd have talked for 55 minutes. I understand the stereotype of the talkative female and their need to air out the entire content of their mind, but a conversation is supposed to be a dialogue, not a monologue, for a reason. I tend to think this behavior signals a self-centered person.
About 3 weeks in, I knew virtually everything about her—down to the marital issues of her parents' neighbours back home. She doesn't even know how many siblings I have or what their names are, I asked her which State I'm from and I swear she guessed the wrong one. Leading us to:
3. She's always on the phone with her mom or sister, sharing the latest gossip—be it about an extended family member, a church member, a neighbour, etc. Every 10 or 15 minutes, the phone rings—mommy is calling. Even informing her mom of my presence when I visit. Not far from this is:
4. She shares secrets of mutual friends/acquaintances without being asked. I literally have a big sack of people's secrets that I'm taking to my grave and I don't understand why people just volunteer other people's private business when there isn't a pew-pew 🔫 pressed to their temple.
5. She talks about her own beauty too much. If it's not her luxuriant, long black hair, it's her spotless fair skin, and the list of people who fell for her because of these features.
🎼So if you like The way 🎶 🎵 you look that much Oh baby you should go and fvçk yourself 🎶
6. She fakes virtue. Always talking about acts of kindness and generosity that she and her family have done.
7. And finally, the most scary thing—the straw that broke the camel's back—is: she once gave me 32 missed calls in a single day. Maybe it's a joke or something, but to me, it was absolute psycho!
Mummyfour: 😀 Thanks[bI will advise young people to look out for red flags[/b]. They are always there.
Asides money wey dey hard to find, whatever negativity you bear in mind to "look" for .. life as its way of bringing it. dont go about looking for red flag, if it exist it wil show up itself I think the advise should have being, when you notice or observe some patterns of red flags do not ignore it.
Ballzproblem2: Poverty mentality hardly leave Yahoo boys head ,for his mind he's a big boy look at the background you should be thinking of upgrading your environment your clique ,but no, it's to spray local girl with dirty wrapper that's boosting your ego.
Naa oversabi go kill some people, you dont know the kind of r/ship that exist between the guy and gurl, his money his choice his life
Upgrading environment and clique is good but the new cliques you meet at the top can never stand by you like your OGs on ground.
casualobserver: 1: subsidy removal simply means we no longer borrow to pay for subsidy. It isn’t money we had and save due to subsidy removal. It is additional debt we save. Understand the difference! You can’t save. What you never had to begin with.
2: FG only gets 15% of the VAT collected. Ask your governors where the VaT money is.
3: the sensible question is where is the gain from floating the Naira and again the majority of it goes to the governors. Again ask your governors what they are doing with the windfall!
No matter how you try, you cant defend the anomalies going on
withdrawal of subsidy from pms, electricity and education is tew enormous not to reflect a relieve on budget deficit ... doesnt make sense
Lets ask ourselves, what exactly have we gained, when govt was subsidizing, nairahad value, power grid collapse was minimal, and budget deficit was lesser compare to evil reform Tinubu brought upon Nigerian
Despite removal of subsidy and high revenue drive it makes absolutely no sense for our budget deficit margin to grow wider, govt is not taking up responsibility or adding more, so what brought an increase in govt expenditure
Tinubu govt is one big mistake that should never have happened, 10l of fuel for 10k, cepha over naira .. we are in a bigger mess
tuoyoojo: You would have realised something, these guys do not seem to be worried about their rating.
They have come to a golden realization
Voters do not determine elections winners, the people that count the votes and the judiciary does
If these guys can be pacified, it's smooth sailing at the way
Tilumbu would likely "win" again, whether we vote for him or not.
You may think I am being pessimistic but this is our reality
Well said, one can easily discern from the i dont care attitude of the politicians and Tinubu ... its like they know there re election is not by people's vote
Tinubu will most like win but that depends hugely on who the opposition, as much as i dont wana think jonathan, Gej is the only person for now that can challenge Tinubu ... APC is banking on INEC its pretty obvious, if not madness/selfishness why will anyone vote Tinubu again
i feel Gej has SS, SE + abuja n lagos on lockdown, even his popularity in the north can not be undermined,
abc115: #3,200 is too costly . From Ojodu Berger, it is #1,500.
God Bless President Bola Tinubu God Bless former President M. Buhari God Bless APC who gave us brand new Lagos Ibadan Expressway and Lagos Ibadan Railway
God Punish PDP.
Why not copy Lagos to introduce light rail for Oyo People commuting from Ogun to Ibadan City. May we not experience visionless PDP in our lives
Ajala tan nor, whose fault ?? which govt trippled inflation. God punish APC Since Lagos has a rail ... why as lagos not come up with there own xmas bonaza
tuoyoojo: Tilumbu is saying its baby steps of inflation
They would say it would get better tby 2027
When 2027 they would say they need 4 years more to complete what they started
If he wins( well I don't see anything stopping him with INEC), he would pat himself at the back and tell us how he took hard decision to improve Nigeria whether you see any improvement or not in 2031
Bro one thing i can figure at the moment is how will Apc campaign in 2027, will it be
vote Tinubu we wil restore subsidy
vote Tinubu he will revert Nigeria back to how buhari left it or
Vote Tinubu to continue his tremedeous wonderful works ...highest currency 1k cant fix bread nd egg
