Cardiac Arrests kill in minutes, Heart Attacks kill in hours.

Those men were literally dying alone! In fear! On the cold bathroom floor. In buildings surrounded by people who didn't care about them.

And young men want to listen to broken, damaged men tell them "nobody cares about you, don't care about anybody".

Any man or woman dumping anyone because he/she thinks they can get an upgrade when their status changes, is a fool. And they always regret it.

This right here is one of the most AWFUL AND HORRIBLE LIES Podcast Bros have sold to the younger generation.

Statistically, Married Men outlive Single Men. Go and check.

Anecdotally, let me give y'all 2 real-life stories.

1. My classmate was single and lived with his younger ones. He went to the bathroom at night, had a heart attack. He tried to contact someone but only reached his cousin who lived 3 streets away. His siblings heard music in the bathroom all night long yet didn't go and check. He died in agony after 8 hours of being alone in the bathroom, on the floor. Imagine your last hours of life like that.

No wife will wake up at night, see her husband hasn't come back from the bathroom and not go and check. It's why in Marriage Counselling (and Old men) tell couples to not have separate bedrooms as they get older.

2. My Uncle was out there, cheating happily in a hotel. He had a heart attack. Side whor.e panicked and left him there, because she didn't want to get implicated in a police wahala. She locked him in the hotel room till the next day. He died long and painfully.

His wife would have at least tried to carry him to the hospital on the next street from his house, had he been home where he belonged.

Final story, a good one:

My friend's older friend is separated from his wife. During COVID lockdown, he got a bad case of malaria and was at home, alone. He nearly died. His cleaner decided to come and check on Oga and found him unconscious. He called the side chic he knew and that one switched off her phone. The cleaner then ran around the estate and a neighbour had the Ex-Wife's number. That sweet, forgiving lady showed up at the hospital and didn't leave her ex-husband's side till he recovered. The man asked his ex-wife to take him home and once they got there, she made to leave. He told the estate security to come and help him lock his gate and told his ex-wife: "I am NOT a fool".

He hasn't stopped begging and apologising and loving her till now. She has forgiven him and moved back home. Even when she said "e don do", the man still apologises. For the years of his stupidity and his ego and his lack of discipline.

Married Men live longer than Single Men because there are people who care about them.

Period.

Like, first they went for the Haitians?

I'm so glad you get it. Though they've gone after a lot of others before getting to where they now are.

IjeBos:
Republicans keep telling us who they are and coons on this board still defend them.

SpaceX:
1. Use the FBI to suppress information weeks before election; that is election interference
2. Calling Trump a racist for building a wall and then make a U-turn like a coward trying to do the same thing.
3. Lying to the whole country about biden's health
4 calling Trump Hitler and tagging project 2025 to him despite having no hand in it.
5. Blaming Trump for Jan 6. While Nancy pelosi was caught on camera admitting it was her fault.

So, with the five above, please who is trying to divide the country? Trump or the Democrats?

raumdeuter:
When has a president become a role model for anyone? Was Bill Clinton a role model? You as a parent should be the role model for your children and not outsource that responsibility to a politician

We don't need to make presidents into angels. They are no better than you morally and shouldn't. They are liars, perverts, cheats, alcoholics, etc. Why do you want to outsource that to your children

People who support Trump are not looking for priests and moralists for their children, they are looking for who will make policies that will make their lives better

IjeBos:
Yeah, esp. reading the posts on this site. It's somewhat depressing and sad. And as you said exhausting.
And the non Nigerian commentators make it even worse. You have a wealth of information online, you can see how tribalism, corruption, lying and autocratic tendencies hurt a country first hand (Nigeria). And yet, you choose to willingly support the same in a leader for another country. The frustrating part from that is understanding that Nigeria will most likely be in a bad place for a long time.
I'm exhausted by it all.

ObaIgwe1:
Lol, so you believe it is actually possible for Trump to lead in ALL 50 states... Honestly a research is needed on you MAGA brains. Reason Trump can easily dump any garbage on you guys and you accept them hook line and sinker. This is why it is difficult to debate you MAGAs bcuz many of you don't make sense.

Ishilove:
I am the woman the Lord has shown great mercy....


But it is the truth na. Have you ever been so pressed that you just want to strip right there by the road side, at that very moment and let rip? I know I have

cococandy:
That’s a great superpower that will take you places.

Kudos to Maeve7 for attempting to restore normalcy init?

Ishilove:
Thanks dear. I remember when Nairaland was fun and had lots of games like this one. It was always interesting. Unfortunately those days are gone.

1. What qualities do you admire in people?
Honesty and good manners. It just makes my blood boil when I have the displeasure of interacting with badly brought up, nasty people and disrespectful people. I usually ignore a lot of things but bad manners dey scatter my dada.

2. What is your super power?

Endurance. In short, the kinda shaitza I have had to endure in recent times have made me pat myself on the back and say "Ishi, na man you be." 😂 Blow upon blow, I crash to the floor, stay there a bit to catch my breath then slowly crawl back to my feet with my face all swollen and battered. Battered, but still alive and gritting my teeth so it looks like a grin and swinging back wildly. I will never stay down as long as I have life in me.

3. If you could change one thing about you, what would it be (character or physical trait)?

My height. I'm 5'6 and the shortest in my family 😁

4. If you could be someone else for one day, who would you like to be?

I'll like to be a man. I've always wondered how it feels to pee standing... I also find it fascinating that men can whip out their members almost anywhere and pee in public if they are really pressed, while us women have to look for a private place and go through the motions of removing all our 'armour' before we can let loose the 'golden jet'.

5. What advice would you give your children or niece/nephew for choosing a spouse?

If he/she can stand by you through thick and thin, sacrifice things that are precious to him/her for your sake, cries with you, prays with and for you, then he/she is The One. Don't let him/her go.

1stGenAmerican:
1. Honesty above all else, good character, humility, and a sense of humor.

2. Sorry for the rude phrase but my superpower is spotting bullshit.

3. If I could change one thing, it would be my metabolism. I would speed it up!

4. If it could be anyone for a day, I would literally be Superwoman.

5. Look beyond the surface and choose someone who has values, character, upbringing, and goals that align with yours. Make sure that the two of you are equally yolked financially, spiritually, and emotionally—don’t not compromise on any of these.

Kpboy1:
1. Living with gratitude, intentional with leaving an inspiring legacy. Sense of meaning and purpose .

2. Critical thinking and arriving at peaceful compromises in unpredictable situations.
3. Knowledge is a curse, being content with not understanding certain things.
4. A leader that can correct certain sad situations in the country... President

5. To choose a partner that lives with gratitude, grateful mindset.

Dexlomo:
You dey interested?

Dexlomo:
Yes, we dey.

Slimdan360:
Imagine two people working to pay for mortgage and one is made to claim the house after a divorce, what then do you call that?

Slimdan360:
Doesn’t favor women as in how? What do you want the law to do for women then? Split the mans property into two just as it’s done in the western world and render the man wretched?

1. None. Humans are a destructive race. I prefer animals, there is order and logic to their worlds. No animal will wake up and destroy another animal for fun or emotion or for greed, ambition, vengeance etc. And when they do, we call them Dolphins and Pitbulls (naturally psychotic animals and animals bred by humans to be destructive).

2. An ability to go calm, cold and concise when there is serious danger. My mind empties and I am focused. And whatever I do in that moment, I will not regret it.

3. Probably not talk so much.

4. Rihanna. Transfer money from her account to mine.

5. Don't marry a man from the South-South or the North. Especially certain Deltan tribes. And when you marry, don't demand perfection from your spouse, make sure you're giving them your best and insist they give you their best.

I’d most definitely add some minced or powdered garlic, black pepper and a pinch of salt.

cococandy:
I get Brussel sprouts but Pls give artichokes another try maybe in a dip.

cococandy:
What’s something you didn’t like at first but ate it anyway?

cococandy:
Because of the benefits

cococandy:
Thank you.
It took me awhile to get over the texture but I love it now too

cococandy:
Cuppa coffee, Homemade granola and chia seed pudding in oat milk for breakfast.

I mixed my granola so I can have the ratios that I prefer and control the sweetness level.

Ingredients coconut flakes, dried berries, oats, pumpkin seed mix, cashew nuts and maple syrup for my sweetener. You can mix in however ratio you prefer.

Add the syrup and pop in the oven for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees Fahrenheit. I made a full tray, so 30 mins was enough time. But check yours frequently if you’re making more or less. Remove when it’s not sticky anymore. When it’s completely dry some of the red berries will darken. That’s alright. But if you want the bright pop of red colored berries to remain, use freeze dried berries and add them at the end when the out of the oven. Enjoy

Oh fun
1 I admire people with a deep sense of justice. Who do not keep quiet and look the other way when something unjust is happening

2. Tough one. I would not call it a superpower but more of a strength. I have grown braver as I’ve got older.. I can go face first into a catastrophic situation without losing my wits. Keep my calm and help others navigate through the situation. Like I have an idea of the worst that can happen and that’s not what’s happening right now so we’ll be okay.

3. 100 percent I’d be 5 inches taller. I admire tall women

4. Sia

5. If they feel like home, they’re the one
