MizMyColi: I searched for this thread on Google using the term "the middle path sarassin" and this thread came up as the number one result.
Perhaps, the realization that I am neither here nor there made me seek out this thread again. It didn't quite fulfil my search intent, but it's a great read. Seven years later and I still struggle to grasp some of the content OP posted.
Seven years later, it feels nostalgic going through the thread again. I am grateful for where we all are now. Super grateful for my experience those days. Perhaps, someday, I will share how Nairaland (the people I met here) became my past, present and future.
Dear LoJ, Dear OP, I hope you are alive and well and thriving. I am. Thank you two for everything, more for those I am/was unaware.
This your post has been on my mind since I saw it. I've been wondering, what would I do, if I were in your shoes?
To be honest, I just shut my brain off. Because, since I cannot relate with her, I can't truly know how she's feeling. Only someone with same experience can. And considering I've had addiction issues in the past, I know how silly it sounds when someone says "just be disciplined" or "get over it."
Sarassin doesn't really know how he changed me. One time I was meditating, and images of me having a sexual encounter with my uncle flashed in my mind. I can't say, "I was raped," because from the memories, it appeared I was already a pervert. Lol. Atleast, I understood why I was so fvcking hypersexual.
This matter is very touching to me because I have a former student who went through the same ordeal---from an uncle who was supposed to watch over her. She suffered mental breakdown for about two years. To the extent she was collapsing in school.
My mind wants to even believe we're talking of the same girl, but given the location you mentioned, she's probably not.
We were very close pals during my time as her teacher, and she has completely cut me and all her friends off. No male friends, too.
Hurts when I think of it. I have to be clumped into the "all men are scum" slogan because of the actions of another man. From her once in a while social media post, she seems to have healed. But, i don't know.
My own "trauma" didn't involve any pain---so to speak. But, I struggle with a hyper sexuality.. I'm able to keep this in check, but lately feeling like I'm going to give in. The number of times olosho thoughts cross my mind ehn..
So, hmmm.. That's what keeps me bothered at night anytime I put myself in your shoes. As someone else said, the only thing you can do is help her see a skilled therapist who can help (are there even any in the country?) Not those that do one or two courses from cousera oh.. I mean PhD folks.
She can must be willing to accept that memory and over power it.
In my case, the more I learnt about my condition, the more I control I got. I've never spoken about this with anyone. Anyway that's just me, the suffering in silence type.
Knowing how I struggle with mine, could I assume, she also will eternally struggle with hers? Would you be able to cope knowing this? That you would occasionally be seen as "the man" touching her at night, which would trigger her trauma experience all over again...
Hmmm.. I think the "Tomatoes" are worth it. Just how I like them. Bright, beautiful, and voluminous. Given the quality of those "Tomatoes" I think several million bucks is even too small..
LilMissFavvy: Some students in the picture wear blue and white, the dead lady wears black all through and a white shirt, yet holds a black jacket in her hands. Why would anyone wear a white Jacket and still another black jacket in the hand? What was the dress code for the occasion in that picture? How about her hand sign? If this lady was truly a culti$t, then why should anyone blame those who refuse to m0urn her death? I do n0t have pity 0n culti$t, if you are currently a culti$t, why did you join it and why have you refused to quit it? N0nsense.
The black jacket must have been their graduation attire. I did some during my time. The hand sign is not a hand sign, it means 4 years. I equally did the same to symbolize that I had spent 4 years In school.
However, this isn't a random case of rape, it seems like premeditated murder. given they dropped her body close to her home. Cultist or not, a victim is a victim. American schools have fraternities and other "cult-like societies, too.
atheistconverta: It seems a cunning ploy by the devil to ridicule the teachings of Jesus via which God used jesusjnr to convert NL atheist to Christ. They seem to be causing the devil night and daymares despite NL Christians being ignorant of its unprecedented quality and power, he had no choice but to send one of his own wolf to pose as sheep using the sams teachings of Jesus as a smokescreen.
I'm quoting this so you don't remove the name there.... Couldn't help but praise yourself... 😁 😁 😁 Nice one. My G. 😂😂😂.
ValCon888: The girl child matures faster than the boy child. And that's why she's first exposed to sex. There's a reason why when you see a group of teens interacting together, you hear the females insultingly call the males "small boys".
It's because those girls are no longer virgins. They've eaten the forbidden apple and their eyes are now open. At that age, their brains are not fully developed, but their lust and horniness is at its fullest potential.
The young girls of today sleep with married men without inhibitions. The older girls have slept with the married men of 20 years ago.
That is why you can get the younger girls to do whatever you want in the sexual arena, while the older girls are saving the leftover scraps for her husband.
The depreciation of her body is directly proportional to the maturation of her brain.
The older women (Evening Newspapers) are the wisest sages because they've seen it all and done it all. It's highly difficult to get into their pants without concrete evidence of marriage intentions. They still have their Hot, lustful side, but it's strictly reserved for the men willing to put a ring on her finger.
However, except she fully commits to religion, these older ladies will continue to find the sneakiest and most devious ways to satiate the lust that was unleashed in her youth.
I could go on and on but I will stop by saying one last thing; the cycle of whorishness and promiscuity can only stop through the proper education and empowerment of the girl child.
kay29000: @happney65 I have always told you this, and you always refuse to accept it. An average female sleeps around more than an average male in Nigeria. To sleep around as a man, you need money...to sleep around as a woman, you just need a will to do it, and men will be available at your beck and call.
A boy needs money to have sex with multiple girls, a girl just needs to have a great body (which she is born with), or beauty (which she is also born with), and greed for money without the willingness to work for it in the proper way.
A boy needs money, but a girl also needs beauty and other body features to attract boys. A specific demographic of girls are getting the attention of most boys, and vice versa.
GenZ should come to terms with the "money for hand, back for ground" ideology, because na us create am. Rich boys use it to steal women from poor boys.
I hate to view love life as a transaction, but that's just the reality of it. Beauty is to men what money is to women.
Interesting. The writers crafted the story of Jesus to tally with the old testament. Even the statements made by Jesus regarding his death looked like taking actions, and hoping for a reaction.
pocohantas: Lovely pictures. Thanks to Coco for sharing. This section has been all about japa in the past few years. Nobody travels and updates us. All we wanna know now is the european country we can enter with 2m Naira.
Nice one Shay!
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
You've spoken on behalf of Millions of us... Shay, abeg 2M japa plan.... 😂😂😂 😂
Seuns forum is a clear representation of the staring lack of creative minds in Nigeria. It gets boring after a while, reading the same thing over and over again.
Maybe it's just a particular demographic loaded here, however, it's glaring that most of us aren't widely read. So, we keep seeing the same thing over and over again. Political discourse, zero. Philosophical discourse, zero. Open minded discourse self on the number one topic, relationship, zero. Women are slots and men are scum. That's all.
We don't even discuss policies and other stuff related to society that affects all of us. Not that I attacking the Nigerian here. I'm well aware of economic situations and how it cripples the mind.
These days, I spend more time on reddit because, In as much as it has similar themes as nairaland, it's jam packed with creative and intellectual people. The discourse going on dear is mind blowing and a harsh awakening, even for me, of my willful ignorance of so many aspects of life.
One could say, many of us are on the low scale of the Marslows hierachy of needs. Well, that would be true, too. Since inflation hit, I've found it difficult to read anything that isn't "increasing my income" related.
Reddit is my go to place now self. I just realised we no like dey help ourselves for this country. I one time posted on reddit that I was frustrated and didn't know how to navigate my career path. Come and see calculated advice..😁 😁 😁..Somebody even DM me to send CV. I didn't sha. My skillet never reach that level.
What I love most about Reddit is that you can never tell who is a millionaire and who's not. People talk like people. No classism. You won't hear that nonsense my people do, "I earn bleh bleh and have traveled bleh bleh."
r/povertyfinance, r/finance, r/piracy, r/ask. r/Nigeria ( they are even trying, but na relationship matters they quick trend) Omo!!!!!!!!!!!
And I will follow their way of life. This one here for people living in the jungle.
Mindlog: Foolishness...you met a random girl online and you stupidly bought phone for her, with the hope of having sex with her but if your fellow man beg you N100k to support his hustle, you go ignore am.
There is this Tom and Jerry Episode titled ''Blue cat blues''.
Jerry was competing with Mr Butch, a billionaire cat who can afford her wildest dream of Jerry's crush.
Jerry bought everything within his power, from perfumes to diamonds, and even sold himself to slavery just to purchase a car to flex his cat chick.
But every time he shows up with a gift to impress, the cat babe just depresses his effort by showing him an equivalent of what Mr Butch got for her.
If Jerry bring Diamond ring as a gift, she shows him diamond collection that you need mask to wear because its so shiny and can blind your eyes.
Until one day, Jerry came to face with Mr Butch, then it became clear that he was in competition with other billionaire men, and his effort are meaningless. He would have committed suicide if not for Tom the mouse that saved him.
So lots of times, men are sad that they have tried their best and the lady just does not appreciate it, when in reality, he is competing with other men, and surely she will go for the best.
Tom and Jerry stylishly dey teach something back then lol, but few have the knowledge to spot the knowledge. You can watch the episode below, its just 2 mins.
Trust me, she will get that 20 million now that she has blown. One guy out there is probably thinking how he can bag the babe to brag to his guys that he bagged the babe.
I don't know what's going on in this society of ours. I decided to great an old female student who I taught in pri 4 during my Jambite era..
We aren't friends, nor have we been in touch, so, it surprised me that after my "how's life going with you question" a build up to a billing audio message followed. Of course, then came the billing. 😁. She's probably in her early.
dominique: It was before that used to be sick to my stomach about this paternity fraud issue. Looking at these jokers called Nigerian men, now I ask myself, do these ones even deserve biological children?
But paternity fraud exist irrespective of goodness of the husband, country, or income level.
It's how you guys paint women as saints for me. People are just bad abeg. We are only sensitive to when a woman is a victim of a man but not when a woman is a victim to another woman.
I was on TikTok the other day and scientists are already getting good results on some kind of computer living brains... Will share a link if i come across it later.. Being able to play games and move computer mouse with our minds is already been tested.. I was dozy when I watched this and forgot to save.
Acidosis: Seeing the number 33 sends shivers down my spine again. I lost my wife hours after childbirth some 33 days ago. She was 33 when she passed. Big dreams, big things we both planned all seem like they're over, right? But really, they are not. She lived a purposeful life. I'm mourning, ignoring the many "if" and "what if" scenarios—the thoughts won't stop coming if you allow them—and finding the courage to take care of two newborn babies. My point? Don't be too hard on yourself. Embrace the challenges and learn to recognise the blessings. All will be well and, more importantly, remember that good or bad, fast or slow, everything will come to an end someday. Make that a reality check.
Oh! Really sorry for your lost, sir. May her soul rest in Piece and may your heart be comforted.
