In short I hate you

Suya paper na new one

Hahjascho:
It's good you summarised it well.

Now, does person who becomes so successful financially through favorable opportunies, chances and luck fits in to the definition of success you gave?...in addition to the previous comment you made.

Success encompasses many things not the way society has made us to believe.

Yes they do, you can't be selective when the whole is considered

For example was Picasso a lunatic ? Yes but was he a successful artistic genius? Yes

It's simply what it is

Hahjascho:
Anyway, in the of journey of success, favour and luck have their own place (s).

But what's your own definition of success?

It's a wholelistic perspective

It's a combination of all, societal value , career, financial, family , religious , philanthropy, a legacy and social standing

When all these boxes are thicked then truly I consider one successful

More of the Nigerian army propaganda busted

What a shame indeed

I have a 42 year old brother who for over 18 years has been on hard drugs. He started this habit while in secondary school and couldn't finish tertiary education for same reason. Efforts made by the family to stop him from substance abuse and rehabilitate him at several occasions failed. Each time such effort is made, he recovers after a while but returns to the habit. Currently, he has become mentally deranged and there seems to be no solution at sight.

He has been admitted to different psychiatric hospitals on two occasions. At both times, he was treated and confirmed fit and sound to return to the society. The moment he was discharged, he quickly went back to his old ways and all the resources spent went into the drain. In one of the occasions, we were strongly advised to engage him as joblessness was one of the greatest problem causing the abuse. We got him engaged by securing a fantastic job which he also left after a week of working there. Other meaningful efforts geared towards engaging him to enable him to become occupied and start earning a living as a man also didn’t work out.

We have organised prayer sessions by powerful men of God, nothing has happened yet. I do want to sound like someone without faith. I strongly believe that our able God will make things beautiful at His time. However, the situation has gone out of control and we need to act fast.

These, amongst many, are some of the interventions already done by the family and we cannot fold our arms and watch people mock us in shame every day due to his abnormal activities in the community.

Now what he does is forcefully, take money from our aged mum, sell any family property at sight in exchange for money to buy his drugs. Beat my mum up at any slightest refusal to give him money. He has been jailed many times for committing several offences related to this habit, yet the problem persists. Maybe we have not applied the best approach?

I am calling on fellow Nairalanders to assist with solutions. I believe there are some of us here who may have experienced this problem in one way or the other, or have an advise to give to solve this lingering painful situation. Your personal or professional experience (s) may go a long way in salvaging this situation for us.

I believe a problem shared is a problem solved.

I can relate bro

Firstly you need to understand the habit

It's a very strong addiction. It takes understanding and counselling mixed with physical therapy

It's not a short term cure

The best counsellors are those who recovered from the addiction themselves, trust me no pastor or imam can help him

Let.me.talk to him remotely if he can use a smart phone

Secondly separate him from your mum for her safety

If I talk to him and I am satisfied I will take up your case and mind you it's not a cheap or short process it can take you from sic months to 14 months but after that if he can stay the course you will see real progress

seanwilliam:
never downplay the role of "grace and luck"...

But aside those two, you Cant make it without what the op posted... it's still the traditional way baba- hardwork and smart work..





True true no particular pattern to success

My bro no pattern at all

At times my guys life just makes me think that this life , we don't even understand the secret yet

techmo:
Bsc holder always fill they have arrived. well I graduated when you prolly were in ss1 and am talking Msc

Grow up kid

Almagamation of Southern and Northern Nigeria, Yoruba signed the documents

Independence Yoruba fought for and signed for it

National flag Yoruba designed it

National anthem Yoruba partly composed it

National Pledge was written by a Yoruba

Do not derail this thread !

techmo:
got my eyes on you again.. this time you vacation would last along time so prepare your alternate username and we shall burst that too

[/s]

Again like I said you should read your books and graduate well.then you will see how little time to have for here.

And when you do find the time , you make it count be reporting narcissistic tribalistic bigots like I do , off course when you have the energy for that



Go and read your books , read hard graduate well and see what life offers

Everytime this man is in the news I just smile

He is really trying

[s]

techmo:
you know I could just quote the mod and tag rule 2 and set you up again for asking if I was mental, just like the rule 20 and telling mods how you go about harassing peoples mention

but since you just got back from the correctional facility and you seem reformed and less biased i'll let you enjoy the fresh air of being released

[/s]

Like I said , when you finally graduate school you will discover there is more to life than this.

Don't bug me again

Read your books , bug those

techmo:
now you have decided to play neutral and not lean towards a section

lol your last ban must have made you have some sober reflection

Are you mental ?

Ban?

Smh .. grow up

My life doesn't revolve on nairaland, I actually have a job that can sometimes take me away for months on end , no time for nairaland

When you graduate you will understand

This thread is pure unadulterated absolute rubbish!!

I have seen men who thick all these boxes and yet are very successful

Infact I know so many .


Example let's use one of my drinking buddies ,his name is let's say guy x
Guy x is as planless as they come , he rolls along life like a ball, he has a seven figure job, he is a regional manager , so incompetent that the CEO insults him in every management meeting , his team.members take him for granted but some how his department always meets their target , he's department has won the most awards

His team are always rude to him but they are some of the best in the entire company.

He Interviewed them but didn't take it seriously as he does with all things it's always a joke

Yet whenever the company has down sized his name is never there

It's so bad that one day he flew to Abuja for a RSM and the CEO saw him and asked "wow you still work here ?" This was 6 years ago

He is just a bugglimg idiot whom is totally favored even though he doesn't believe in giving charity doesn't go to worship and hadly ever prays and he is an arsehole who uses the F word alot even infront of his kids

He last went to church 19 years ago, he only prays on Christmas, new years Eve and his birthday or in a meeting where they are praying

He drinks every time , he is terrible with money , he can't keep a secret , he is dirty , he lies for the stupidest reasons

What baffles me is how he met his wife , she works in Chevron , infact when he met her she had just finished school and he didn't know she had a superb background

One thing led to another they started dating , play like play she got married while hiding her back ground today she works in Chevron they have two kids

I mean this guy can't give good advise to a ten year old

Yet favor follows him , he graduated with a third class no master's but he has kept his job.

He has no plans whatsoever he can't even sit down and make one up

But some how life always surrounds him with those who can get everything done

He says to me sometimes that "bro how did I get so lucky ?"

I look at this chubby mess of a man and I answer

"Life just doesn't add up sometimes "

He is the reason why I tell people motivational books are rubbish , I tell people threads like this are nonsese

Do you know how he got the job? I recall he told me back then he did badly in the interview and I wasn't surprised.

But we where relaxing in my house and he got the call to resume

Even he was surprised, guess what? After he resumed he discovered the person they selected somehow his phone was off for over two weeks they tried the second person and whom turned out was hospitalized in the clinic the CEO got impatient and told them to call the third person. But there was no third person.... they just picked any of the resumes of those that failed and it turned out to be my buddy

Listen forget all the stuff people say.. my buddy's life has taught me that life isn't black and white

It isn't Everytime that 1+1=2

Life sometimes just decided to favor you

I mean that guy has never fasted or prayed for anything in his life. He just his best and grabs a bottle of beer then forget everything

Somehow everything just works I'm his favor

Well it's never to late to make a change



Waiting to see what comes of this

What a pathetic country

Instead of the citizens rising up in protest they will rather come online and rant , curse each other's tribes out and make jokes while their country is dying by the minute

Smh

Uncreative post

See the way u are spitting all over the thread, Oluomo is not the cause of ur poverty and ur frustration, dont give urself BP, he no sabi ur mother.

[/s] another tout groupie addict

humilitypays:
You lack manners for talking about a highly respected and decorated Yoruba statesman like that, you must be an IPOB because you IPOB don't have respect, that is why you people don't prostrate to greet your elders

For your info, MC Oluomo is a highly celebrated, highly decorated and highest paid killer hitman for Bourdillion and other Southwest Politicians, he is one of the most respected and worshiped personality in Yoruba land, after Awolowo, you count Tinubu, and then you count MC Oluoma, how many of such men of timbre and calibre does IPOBs have if not empty chestbeating

[/s]

A typical thing groupie

Read both your comment and mine , you are the one chest beating and bringing tribeb into this like an illiterate..

You see how you proved me right ? If you are an example of this pigs supporters now everyone can see I am right!
