The "every successful person is a sinner" crew will soon feast on this thread.

He was hypocritically prejudicial with his comment against the SP. He deserved whatever fate that befell him. I insist that freedom of speech/expression doesn't permit calumny.

You're not there...
Maybe some other time, you'll come close enough...goodnight

You'll sure see me soon. Good night too.

pocohantas:
You serious? What's the colour of my gate?

I won't say it loud because kidnappers are almost everywhere now. Safety first.

pocohantas:
Lord!!!!! This is brilliant!
I have been observing your post. Who are you? ? ??

I would like to know you better...but you seem so far away. Sadly I am short-sighted...

Believe you me, I'm right in front of your house. Lol.

The postulation that marriages of the yore lasted better than the ones of the new age is more of a fallacy than fact. What's a true fact is that an oppressed in the former class was likely to stay put, despite the oppression they suffered because most of them, especially the women victims, had no better options of comfort. Imagine a woman whose father had about 5 wives and 70 children all living in a thatched 2 bedroom house. . . I mean, such a woman had rather remain with a man that mistreat her, in a one bedroom thatched house with 1 per day meal than to go back to her family. Many in the yore only endured not tolerated nor happy in their homes then, because they had no wherewithals to fall back on. Closeness doesn't automatically mean loyalty.

Women's gradual emancipation is the reason why the new age marriage seems as if it's worse than the ones of the yore. For instance, if an evil personified man hypocritically managed to trick a virtuous woman with career into marriage before unleashing his evil attitudes, such a woman wouldn't have justifiable reasons to stay put in such marriage because she's the wherewithal to cater for herself.

The easiest way to reduce world poverty and domestic violence against women to the barest minimum is women empowerment which its end product is emancipation.

Come on! You're just showcasing your wears. Nothing more.

If the bond that hold your relationship with him is immaterial, with special emphasis on a selfless, honest and altruistic attitudes toward you - so long as you are honest, caring and empathetic toward him too. I don't see a healthy relationship where there's no reciprocity.

I wonder why a man of noble class would stoop so low to have a small-minded woman as a partner in the first place. Come on people, there's something called a "virtuous woman." A virtuous woman cannot be caught pilfering her lover/husband's money instead she's both a helper and a keeper.

Goodness isn't negotiable, a woman that cannot tick the boxes on all the necessary good attitudes is far from being virtuous. Perfection is what one shouldn't expect; when one expect a woman to turn 1 naira into 1 million naira within a twinkle of an eye, that's perfection and can only be expected from a non mortal.

In summary, you have no reason to panic when a virtuous woman knows where you kept your money.

While your utter despair of pauperism is not my business, please answer the simple question you tactically evaded;

What exactly did FOLORUNSHO ALAKIJA do to get the money to buy a 617,000-acre block—now referred to as OPL 216 in the AGBAMI OIL FIELD OF THE NIGER DELTA

Again, Is there a colleration between the salary she earned in her jobs and the price of 617,000-acre block—now referred to as OPL 216 in the AGBAMI OIL FIELD OF THE NIGER DELTA?

Small-mindedness is a disease. Only a small-minded person like you sees money as the most vital of tools one needs to attain greatness in business in particular and life in general. If you were to be smart, you ought to have observed that I answered the question in my previous submission.

Let me dash you a free success formula that has stand the test of time. Thus:

- Good attitude
- Valuable aptitude
- Vision
- Financial resources (just a little of it)

A smart person doesn't need to possess a billion naira financial resources before s/he can secure logistics and set-up a billion naira enterprise.

The difference between an obvious wretched person like you and the rich/potential rich person is that while you and your ilks are parochial, selfish and self-centered (towards those close to you), conceited and prejudicial in your thoughts and actions the latter class is always liberal, altruistic and selfless (towards those close to them), effacing, and open-minded. Kindly embrace a change in attitude for good.

I have utmost regards for a poor person that is not small-minded but noble, and a rich person that is noble but no small-minded. However, I loathe all small-minded people irrespective of their financial and social stratum.

OP is a typical conceited person; for every conceited person he's better than any other person. Unapologetically and literally, I say you don't have better qualities than Neymar as you have erroneously claimed. My reasons are:

You may possess higher academic certificates than he does but you aren't more educated than he's. This is so because while his own choice and line of education has taken him to the zenith of his career - which is a sign that he understand what he does - yours has not made you a better person because you know everything but understand nothing. . . You're a typical articulate incompetent.

Secondly, he's not a traitor, yes his action didn't amount to treachery instead he knows how not to give in to servility - that showed courage on his part. As for you, you mistake servility for loyalty; well all the servile people I know are hypocritically disingenuous.

Thirdly, you may be better than him in English since its not his lingua franca, but don't forget also that he'll best you in Portuguese which is his lingua franca.

On the other hand, yes he's stubborn and guess what; stubbornness isn't a negative attitude rather it's a sign of self-will - only honest people possesses and exhibits self-will.

In summary, Neymar is an asset with global clout which you aren't.

Stop misleading people. No Nigerian is among the top 60, not to talk of top 10, billionaires in the world.

Small-minded people everywhere has in common, the negative attitude of abusing every privilege extended to them. Freedom of speech doesn't permits calumny.

I'll not loot. Honesty remains the best policy in business. As a private businessman, I have a philosophy that's working effectively for me - I earn to share with associates but I never eat from associates.

Bending a law is never an offense in any sane environment but breaking it is a crime in every sane environment. So, I wonder why I will loot when I can negotiate for a better package.

Popularity never win elections for anyone instead influence does - he's popular but not influential. Anyway, he's just a copycat. In every election, there'll always be pretenders and contenders.

Open-mindedness is/should be free; this really requires one imbibing adventurous attitude because without it, one would breed a frenemy - yes, frenemy, because when you distrust people prejudicially, you automatically disrespect them, and when that happened, you have sowed a seed of discord especially if you're associating with a noble person. However, what's truest is that trust just like respect is earned not given.

Love neither drains nor causes intentional pains. Therefore, anyone in your life that causes you retrogression and intentional pains doesn't love you. Such a person can only pretend that s/he love you either because of what she gains from you or because she has not seen a better option.

Your cousin should create his own life path/life style and encrypt it. The standard of life he intends to live now and in the future should be the basis on reaching a conclusion whether or not he's ready to start a family.

truthsayer009:
There is no point, Don't Trust anybody & never be hurt. If you must know, Don't trust yourself. Because you can even let yourself down.

Thank for your advice. However, I'd rather retain, maintain and sustain a philosophy that has brought unquantifiable blessings to me. I have already crossed so many oceans in life. lol.

If I cannot place absolute confidence in you then, I cannot allow you to remain closer least of having you as a partner - pretense isn't my thing. Yes, I do give, but guess what, once you betray me, that marks the end of whatever bond that hold us closely. I'm the easiest person on earth to betray but about the hardest to outsmart.

I don't subscribe to the general norm of "trust no body" instead I believe in giving everyone that crosses my path an unmerited privilege to prove himself/herself. It's unfortunate that 99% of the people that has crossed my path so far has failed to prove to me that they're worthy of being trusted - no wonder, I have multitudes that refers me as their best friends whereas I don't have more than one person I can refer to as my friend. I roll with associates.

To be a nonconformist isn't an easy task but I enjoy living my life as one.

Tonto Dike is a typical hypocritically disingenuous person.

Self-realization! I'll continue to say it, the point in life at which one achieved self-realization marks the beginning of his/her true journey on earth. Therefore, one should endeavor to reach this point in life before venturing into marriage.

I understand your position perfectly well. The worst mistake anyone can ever make is marrying someone of an opposite ethical leanings, lifestyle and belief system. Only differences in personalities, economic and political ideologies, and ethnicities can be managed.

As bitter as it may seem, both of you should put emotions aside and embrace reason, telling each other that you're separating/divorcing not because either of you is an outright evil but because you're not compatible. Yes, it's possible to remain friends in good faith after separating, it's all about understanding.

Seasoned will always be superior to experienced just as understanding is superior to knowingness. However, we shouldn't forget the very fact that even if a monkey travels to America and comes back it'll always be a monkey.

Trash! Aside North Korea, citizens of every other country there has access to the internet at will - although, some websites are censored or banned by governments of each of them.

Cuba for instance, the citizens has 100 percent access to the internet at will.

Abeg let person hear word you hear?,na Sunday be this, I no wan get headache for lie lie things

The manner in which most of you exhibits parochialism do irritatingly amuse me. I mean, nothing can be more appalling than seeing someone assumed that everyone on this forum is of equal stratum financially, morally, socially etc.

The fact that you and your ilks may not be able to come to the aid of "someone you hypocritically called a friend in the open" or have friends that can come to your aid in a big, instant and altruistic manner doesn't mean that it's same for everyone else. Stop equating yourself with other people either here or elsewhere.

Kindly note, I don't hold brief for the guy you quoted. And of course, I don't hate you.

You know nothing john smoow!

The crime of just on rich man stealing billions as health minister can cause the death of thousanda in the hospitals. spilliage and pollutions by multinational coeperations in a years can kill thousands worldwide and you still won't know because of your one track mind towards the poor.

Shut up! Conceited people like you irritates me. Truly, conceit is God's gift to small-minded people.

Subject of the thread under discussion says it all, and even if it's otherwise, I'm still entitled to my opinion. So, it smack of idiocy for you to pick on me. For one, I'm not the cause of your obvious wretchedness.

The thread asked "Poverty Or Wealth: Which Is More Potent To Influence Sin?" it didn't ask "Outcome of a poor person's sinful action and that of a rich person's sinful action which is more potent to cause major harms to the masses."

Enemies within - the worst form of enemy.

Poverty of course. Believe you me, crime is more prevalent among the downtrodden than the rich. I've had the privilege to experienced life in both divides, so I understand better.

lonikit:
As for me, poverty is more potent to influence sin but bible talk more on wealth as being capable to make u sin.


So what is your opinion?

Poverty of course.

Only hypocrites will tell you that they do forget. Notionally, there's something like forgive and forget. But literally, there's no such thing, because it's impossible to practice.

What's true is that you should not allow the unforgettable after forgiven to influence you in dealing fairly with the other party in future activities. . . This is true forgiveness.
