AWAKEN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE

You know when people ask if your village people are after you? Now is the time to find out! But most importantly find out who they are, and there is no better way to find and escape them than to get closer to God. Your village people are not far away living in a mud hut using palm leaves for clothes, cowries for necklace and coconut shells for bra, no, they are the ones that take up all the time you should be using to improve your situation to encourage you to drink yourself to stupor in the bar, they are the ones that come to argue about Messi and don’t encourage you to be better than Messi. Your village people are the ones you lend 500 naira and they rain abuses on you when you ask for it back. They are the ones who would hail you when you behave in an uncouth manner in public but not call you to the side to caution you. They are that guy that introduces you to all the bad girls that would drain your account in a week.

Remember this: A mosquito cannot breed without stagnant water. Choosing to be closer to God has it’s advantages, you have less village mosquitoes around you, these people would find your lifestyle change so unwelcoming to their unproductive ways, and after a while they would leave you alone to blossom.


After all said and done, the choice is yours to become the envy of your enemies and the glory of your allies.

GET YOUR FINANCIALS IN ORDER
I’ll assume you aren’t a lazy youth, so what do you spend your money on? Beer, worthless parties, girls? What kind of budget are you on? Do you even have a budget? The truth is women are not interested in your money but they won’t love you without it. This may be a hard pill to swallow but if you look at it from a male perspective, would you date a beautiful woman who doesn’t brush her teeth? Has mud all over her hair, goes months without a shower? Borrows clothes from the butcher at an abattoir and doesn’t wash it for months? Some of you can argue you can brush her up, but what if she is not willing to? What if she shows willingness but there is no evidence of an effort to change? That’s how ladies see men with no money. If you don’t show capacity to take care of yourself, how could you possibly take care of a family in future? Some might stay, but they would only stay as long as your efforts show results.

Guys, get up and get to work, start a business, chase a profitable career. Even when you have money, use it for things that are worthwhile, don’t spend money to impress women, you would never find an ideal woman while doing that. Rather spend it with discipline on things that leave a lasting impression on your life and a decent woman would do anything to become a part of that life.

IMPROVE YOUR MENTAL CAPACITY
How much of your time do you invest in things that are worthwhile? What kind of people take up the better chunk of your time? What kind of friends do you have? What do you do when you are with them, do they contribute meaningfully to your life or are they the kind that prefer to hang on the pavement of your street sitting on the unfinished block-fence cat-calling/whistling at women passing by, or the kind that show up at your house in the morning just to argue who is better between Messi and Ronaldo, Davido or Wizkid? Now ask yourself this. Do you think Messi argues who is better between him and Ronaldo? He does his argument in training and goes on the pitch to deliver. Davido does his argument by entering his studio and releasing hits. What is your argument? Gossip? Well then, are you doing better than Linda Ikeji now?

You have to learn how to maximize your opportunities to encounter success and you can’t do it surrounded by people who only dream but would not take a step to grab their future by the balls. What kind of man are you to be with? What are your activities during the day and during the night? If you were to invite people for a birthday party, what kind of people would show up for you? Decent people or Gangsters? Would it be an Intelligent gathering or a gathering of morons looking for cheap girls to devour? What kind of lifestyle do you want and what efforts are you making to turn it into reality? What kind of things would people say you have taught them in life? Who would call you their role model? These are the things you must work on. Start seeking to become a positive role model, watch enlightening media, seek the company of better people, inspire to improve the mind-set and lives of your current friends who are in your current situation and if they fail to adopt the change you advise, relocate if possible (mentally, spiritually or physically).

WORK ON YOUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE
Yes, I can’t stress this enough, hit the gym, eat healthy and get in shape. Just remember that you do not need to look like a Bouncer. But you should look good enough to be able to take your shirt off in a crowded beach and not feel awkward, be able to wear a white-tshirt to a grocery store and not have children staring at your protruding gut wondering when you’re due for delivery, neither should you be able to stand in the middle of a field with your arms outstretched and have all the birds run away instead of landing on your arm.

Do you put on a suit to a building only to be blocked by the gateman who immediately asks you to drop your CV at the gatehouse even before you have declared your mission? Well take a good look at your wardrobe and get your looks in order. How do you convince success or indeed anyone to be with you when you have not convinced yourself to look the part? A strict body nutrition plan and workout requires discipline and you need plenty of it to be successful. Consider joining the military-style training unit or some disciplinary support boot camp if you find the time. Otherwise, sign up at your local gym or get a fitness partner

First, Make a conscious pact with yourself that you choose never to be less than the best. Focus your entire emotions on becoming a better person for yourself. You gotta be better physically, mentally, financially and spiritually.

Now the following posts would explain in more detail.

The question is this:
Do Nigerians carry out these kind of parades?
If enemies of peaceful co-existence killing innocent people around the country everyday see the display of military might from time to time, do you know how many lives they could have saved by such a display? Instead of each time we pay tribute to the fallen, we only take flowers to their graves, why don't we show the country we can protect everything within it's borders?

victorioushands:
One day soon, they will be left entirely to manage their own country and the world will see how grossly incapable, vain and destructive they are and have been against all.

Aren't they already on their own? Aren't they already widely believed to be grossly incapable of managing the affairs of their own country? Even more deplorable a condition, is the fact that the people have no idea what difference it would make to choose a reasonable leader to govern them. It is therefore not only appalling that the literacy level is very low, but I dare propound that they lack the capacity to even realize the gross misfortune that awaits them and it is indeed a load of absolute cobblers that they do nothing to enlighten themselves.

alenwup:
I also did not read where the writer suggested we should hate, but break up has levels. Write now, I'm a victim of a broken relationship. As in, the wound is very fresh. The painful part of it is that, I so much love this girl that I didn't care to be on guard. At the early stage, I was shocked, then anger and despondency. It became worst when the girl didn't answer my calls or returned my messages, then I'm tempted to hate the situation coz it is so unreasonable. Like my case right now, once I survive the pain, I will rather not have anything to do with her.

I think this narrative would change when/if you follow the right route to heal. I recommend focusing your entire emotions on becoming a better man first for yourself, so you would be better for the woman you eventually end up with, than you were with your ex. Make a conscious pact with yourself that you choose never to be less than best. I'm talking physically(yes hit that gym), mentally(get higher qualifications), financially (aggressively pursue a great career, own your own business) and spiritually (go to church more). Consider joining the military-style training unit or some disciplinary support boot camp if you find the time, by the time you are done, you wouldn't even remember her name. The quality of your life would be so outstanding that you would be thankful for the breakup. And if payback is worth the thought, remember this: Women aren't very good losers and the news of a very successful ex who treats his new woman like a queen is the worse torture you can give a woman. Cheer-up.

flington4550:
loved her like crazy... broke up 5 months back and the only way I think and remember her was her phone number closely packed in my brain haha �
Don't know how to let it go lol

Nearly a decade ago, I once thought I would never forget her digits. I just read your comment now and behold I tried to recall it and I can proudly say I indeed really have forgotten it lol.

Troubledmind:
I met her on Facebook and we moved to whatsapp, she likes everything i like, she's Caring, ambitious, smart and romantic, she gave me alot of clues that she's into me like the way she's always telling me that she believes in me, telling me that her kind of guy has all my qualities, sending kiss emoji, asking if I've eaten and all, but all the while she never asked for favors, but i wasn't romantically intrested in her, i just found her interesting and a great company.

Then suddenly she changed her behavior, she gets angry over little things, she sent me a message one night and i didn't reply on time then she said I'm giving her attitude, and all my explanations fell on deaf ears, then she finally told me we should stop being friends, i said ok because i didn't think I'd miss her.

Now i think about her everyday like she's the air i breathe and its wierd, no matter how i try to be emotionally detached its not working anymore, and this was someone i didn't have feelings for back then, what do i do about this?

I have to break it to you bro. She is in a relationship now, probably even engaged and has shut you out. There is no point fighting, move on Period.

chronique:
I have an ex that I chat and talk to almost every day. We talk about the past, the present and other stuffs and we're cool like that. I even send pics of girls I'm chyking and all that stuff and we flow very well. But then, I also have exes that I don't even bother calling or talking to at all. Those ones are the ones that we fought and quarreled while splitting. It all depends on how you guys broke up.

Is she married or in a serious relationship now? I am quite certain she was the one who broke up with you that's why she can laugh when you talk about other girls. But trust me, she wouldn't be so friendly when you get a girlfriend of your own you are truly in love with or engage and marry her with assurance gifts, this your ex you are so proud of now would melt with hatred towards you. Women never make happy losers.

MrRichmond:
In black panther, Wakanda is running on monarchy system of government. Are you suggesting that the youths return the country to the way our ancestors ran governments?
Black panther was inspirational, in the fact that it showed how Africa could have evolved if the whites didn't tamper with our development, but this is a just a dream, because in reality Africa was colonized!
So other than working to improve our technological prowess (like Shuri in black panther), the movie doesn't have any effect on the political landscape in ground because it strays far away from reality.

The question is interest in Nigerian politics among diaspora youth who have now returned to their fatherland to try to take control of the affairs of the black race(Nigeria) like Killmonger tried to do in the movie. NIgerian young presidential aspirants in diaspora particularly from USA where the movie was made are returning for that purpose.

yeyerolling:
Those in the villages in zamfara, river and other places no watch any black panther. Ur article hold no water

You clearly didn't read the article.

CriticMaestro:
When u start comparing movies with reality
That is when u will realize your doom is near

When you do not realise that movies are the most powerful tools for inspiration or propaganda. You wouldn't see that doom is already the experience you have been living in.

2018, and It is no longer news that since the release of Black Panther in February this year, many Blacks spread across the varied spectrum of civilization have dared to dream and accomplish a change for the black race. Nigerians were not left out as they launched various attires and showed up at cinemas in solidarity with the wakanda dream. We even had the movie inspiring comedy shows like the AY live show and the Mbaku challenge all across various social media platforms.

But most importantly, we have seen a major influx of young African Nigerians like Fela Durotoye, Omoyele Sowore and Kingsley Moghalu, who have returned from the United States (the country where the movie was produced), to Nigeria desirous for a better Nigeria.

In the movie, Eric Killmonger had travelled back to Africa where his father was from and launched an attempt to take over Wakanda to liberate black people all over the world.

Just not too long ago, Donald Trump, a successful american business man with no political experience, had contested against established politicians and won the presidential election in his country.

Could this influx of presidential aspirants and nation builders from USA be an indirect influence of Black Panther? And could they be banking on the same streak of fortune that landed D.T. in the white house, to give them the chair over Nigerian affairs come 2019?

udemzy101:
You think someone who want your downfall doesn't have conscience? We all do but even when their conscience reminds them of the evil they want to do, in their mind they have already conclude to do the evil deeds.

It's still not enough for us to become evil ourselves in wishing destruction on anyone. Read this:

Luke 9:51-56

51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.

52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 

53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 

54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them?
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them.

56 Then he and his disciples went to another village.

How many people today pray like the bolded?

2sizzlin:
Majorbravo and OP.
God bless both of you!
Usually, i don't bother to tell most ppl the kind of truth, they can't receive it. They'd go extra mile to argue with the word of God.

God bless you too.

MarieSucre:
Just because it's the nature of life doesn't mean it's right. She Did him wrong, you people should stop making excuses for her it's irritating.

I always say this: Sometimes life is like a tailor that finds a piece of cloth no one wants to wear, he takes his time to beautify it, with embroidery and shiny buttons. The minute he is done, someone sees it hanging in the shop and attempts to steal it while he takes a nap. Who do you think respects the cloth better.

A woman who leaves her man to follow men that didn't notice her before the transformation that was made possible by him, will be always be a liability to the next.

A woman who relies only on the input of men for her growth and lacks the intelligence to facilitate her own would always practice hypergamy.

I have a post on Hypergamy and Briffault's law on my page if anyone cares to study this deeper. https://www.nairaland.com/3110907/hypergamy-briffaults-law-women-primodially

Buffalowings3:
Nonsense
What of praying for the death of our criminal polithiefcians

Why not pray instead for justice and order in the land so they can be forced to do their jobs or be impeached? Why should death be the only answer?

If God should answer the prayer of everyone wishing death on the wicked, 95% of Nigerians may not wake up the next day. Remember, a stubborn man is a leader in his own home. The tomato seller that inflates prices of her wares is a leader in her shop, even a primary school class captain is someone's child.

babyfaceafrica:
what if he is doing masters?

What stops him from blowing in his masters? Not everyone understands it and I can't explain everything here. People pay to learn the kind of stuff I'm talking about. If he doesn't know how to maximize his opportunities wherever he is, that's his choice to make.

babyfaceafrica:
not everyone wants to blow by bringing someone down and making noise!!,.. The guy seems like a level-headed and quiet type...so let him do as he pleases

Not noise against Nina, that would be considered as cyber bullying or stupidity on his part. He should make noise by promoting whatever it is he is good at aggressively. People should see that he is a hard-working guy who is really interested in blowing and posseses talents deserving of the blow. And eventually he would blow.

Apple2:
Easy said than done, you think it's easy to blow from this? I'm just reading you and laughing

I don't see why not? Any publicity at all is an opportunity to blow. If you do not already know that, ask Kim Kardashian. Collins is a victim, and the clout he can get from this situation could make him very successful indeed. All he needs is to make enough noise in the media and strike an endorsement deal with popular people who identify with his situation.

Most successful men in the world today started off like him (from being dumped by a girl they literarily built).

OP you should add this one

Proverbs 24:17-18

17 Do not rejoice when your enemy falls,
    and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles,
18 lest the Lord see it and be displeased,
    and turn away his anger from him.

Do you think God is happy over the loss of one soul? Do you ever hope to see the day one of your children is killed gruesomely, no matter what he did? If no, and you cant create a single soul, then why do you rejoice when a created human being suffers misfortune?

Stop praying for the downfall of others. Pray for their conversion.

computergeek:
I want this guy to blow very soon. The girl gas regret this shii wey she play

This guy isn't using this opportunity providence has presented him to blow. If he was smart he would use the clout to get him a deal from some celebs looking for how to stay in the spotlight and therefore blow from there.

millomaniac:
Yeah I have, that's an old video but it is not by tv interviews, if it wear hands down no one comes close to sowore. Just watch his youtube videos. I only just heard of durotoye. Sowore has been known to fight corrupt powerful people for a long time. He also seems to have a sound plan to steer the country outa this current mess. He might get there and change but for now he has my vote. No doubt.

Most of those videos of Fela are before he even declared his intention to run for president. I haven't posted any of his recent videos because I am not campaigning for anyone. I am all for a better Nigeria, and trust me if you listen to those videos I have posted, you would understand that anyone who would lead us out of this mess of a country must understand the things Fela has spoken of especially with regards selectocracy. After all said and done if Sowore or indeed anyone runs on a party platform where the people don't have the right to vote in the party primaries, there is no guarantee he would not change after becoming president because it is who choses the aspirant that the aspirant would be loyal to.

millomaniac:
You might have a point. But nigeria as of today has not progressed. The present buhari led administration has taken the country back many many years. No man is the best man for the job since no one is perfect. Sowore might not be the best man for the job. But so far from all the popular candidates that have declared for the no 1 job. I am strongly convinced he will make the most progress given his antecedent. Progress is what we need right now. Let us try Someone that is not connected to the old politicians in the circle of power. Let us try a new lease of leadership.i admire his revolutionary spirit.

I am also interested in seeing good leadership. I don't know any of the under 50 aspirants personally, but have you listened to Fela Durotoye? That dude appears sound intellectually and that's what we really need. The problem is that the party system in Nigeria isnt democtratic but selectocratic. Just listen to any of his videos on YouTube.

Dear Nigerians,

If we had a debate between these under 60s (60 is the age for retirement from civil service).

Fela Durotoye, Kingsley Moghalu, Sowere Omoyele, & Adamu Garba. Who do you think would win? and why?

Please give useful points, be respectful, no name calling. We are the future of Nigeria lets act it. Add more names if possible.

Meekdon:
Presidential aspirant, Fela Durotoye, has charged married Nigerian women to deny their husbands who do not have permanent voter’s card (PVC) sex.

Kolanist:
to me uncle Fela just wants to be funny. i do not surport his statement neither does the bible. I want to doubt he made the statement. The bible states that married couple shouldnt restrict each other except for a few time to seek the Lord in fasting .he should know better , anyway it is hard to find a perfect person, uncle Fela is definitely not perfect yet but i will still vote for him if The Lord wills me to

You guys know that Fela was joking. He didnt give it as a directive, it wasn't even part of his speech, he had concluded and was just trying to explain how important it is to get your PVC. Infact if you listened to the whole speech you would want to vote him. Watch the full video on channels here (click on Watch on youtube). it's in the last one he mentioned it as a joke after closing his speech.
