Goddys:Exactly! |
Amakavula:.

I have never been approached. I have never known any gay man. Nice description, anyway, with how you and Chiamaka went down. This Amakavula has really seen things. Ahhhh! Chiamaka.

GloShare:Keep your money to yourself and don't be a Santa Claus. If you become a Father Christmas and waste all your money helping people and you go broke, no one will give you a damn. Even the people you helped will start giving you attitude and snubbing you. No one will help. When you are rich, people attach themselves to you to leech of you. No matter how much you spend, people will always have needs. Your money is for you and your family (wife and children). Anything that remains is inheritance for your children. It would be a shame if you are a millionaire and your children have nothing to show for it. Let everyone go and work and be independent. You don't owe anyone anything. |
purples25:I really understand. A lot of people are too judgemental but you don't have to hang out with them. They can go to hell for all you care. |
Undertaker001:No mind am. Na so people dey take fail exam. |
BluntBoy:Small children sha. She needs to learn that she owes nobody anything and she is not obliged to live up to anyone's expectations or standard. Just give her time. |
BluntBoy: Very soon, na oil and gas. |
BluntBoy:Show her the OP to read and emphasis that she is not obliged to impress anyone. Social media is full of fake stuffs. Some celebrities are even living fake lives. Don't worry about her, with proper guidance, she will mature with time. |
Estellie:Correct pickin. Carry go, nothing do you. |
Waksdabos:No mind am. He got so defensive as if I struck a nerve.
|
OdiaI:I used it as a lot of people here in Nigeria use it. I am relating with them based on their knowledge. ![]() |
ajon1:Correct guy. Carry go. |
alaye123:Of course people can live their lives the way they want. The pressure to make it and impress people can get out of hands and lead to suicide. My topic might go a long way in putting sense into people and saving lives. If anyone doesn't like my topic, they can ignore it. By the way, I never said people should wear rags, all I said is that people should be real. My psyche tells that you are guilty of living a fake life. |
When we are born, our minds are at tabula rasa. What we know depends on our environment, experiences, exposure and, where possible, the indoctrination our society has given us. Reality is such that no matter what we believe, it doesn't change and it doesn't care about our feelings. Given that many grew up believing the wrong things and are still believing these things, I find it important to set things straight. It might be that many are sensible but still not aware of certain things. Without wasting your time, here are hard facts about life. 1) THERE IS NO GOD AND YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN : a lot might not agree but I challenge you to show me any evidence that god exists. Your life struggle is yours to bear and no god is coming to help you out. No matter how much you pray, what god you believe in and how morally upright you are, nature will always take it's course and if you don't do the right thing, you won't get the right result. Religion, psychic stuffs and other spiritual stuffs are ridiculous falsehoods with no sound basis in reality. Do away with them and start facing reality. 2) THERE IS NO AFTERLIFE : once you die, that's it. Your cease existing forever after you die and there is no coming back. So do all you want now that you are alive. This world is all there is, there is no spiritual/unseen world. This is where you succeed, this is where you fail. If you don't make it here, forget it and there is no second chance. This is where you are happy, this where you are sad. Once time has passed, it can never be regained. 3) PEOPLE HAVE THEIR PRICE : people are not moral. With the right amount of money and desperation, people will do immoral and mean things. For many, morality is only when it's convenient. Learn not to trust anyone for even your enemies may smile a lot. Money reveals people's true colour. When it comes to money, people are not to be trusted and are mean spirited opportunists. When you have money, people (men and women) will gather round you. They don't give a damn about you but your money. Learn to say "no," spend your money on yourself and leave the rest for your children. 4) SUCCESS IS NEVER GUARANTEED UNTIL IT IS ACHIEVED : that boy or girl that looked almost certain to succeed might end up turning out to be a "failure" in future. That boy or girl that was looked down upon might be the highest achiever in future. No one, I repeat no one, can know the future. You might do everything right and die before you reap the fruit of your labour. You might suddenly have an accident or disease that would render you useless no matter how bright you were. You might be lucky to make it. There is nothing like a way to make it in life instead all you have are principles that increases your chances at making it in life but chances are what they are and are not certainty. Until it is achieved, success is not guaranteed. 5) LIFE ON EARTH HAS NO PURPOSE : you exist for no reason. The universe doesn't owe you any meaning to your existence. The meaning your life has is the meaning you give to it. There is nothing like destiny and fate. Your life is how you plan it. 6) NOT EVERYONE WILL MAKE IT IN LIFE : we all know this but still like to act like success is our birthright because we think our life is in the hands of an imaginary god. Even if we all work hard, not all of us will make it and you could be among those that don't make it. Even among those that succeed, there will be variation. Some will make it early while some will make it late. Some will be privileged to be born in a successful family while some will be born in poor families. 7) YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL : that HIV you hear about can happen to you. That cancer you hear about can happen to you. That rape you read about in the news can happen to you. That ghastly accident you read on nairaland, newspaper and see on tv can happen to you. In short anything bad can happen to you. That untimely death you see and hear from wherever can happen to you. Who the hell are you to think that you are immune to these things? THE UNIVERSE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT MORALITY. ALL IS CAUSE AND EFFECT : good things happen to bad people; good things happen to good people; bad things happen to bad people and bad things happen to good people. Do the right thing and you will get the right result. It doesn't matter whether your approach is legal or not (legality and illegality are man's construct), apply the rules and you will get the right results. Cause and effect agrees with the strong overcoming the weak that's why your corrupt and powerful politician can unduly put you in jail and you will rot there no matter how morally upright you are. Your saving grace is if there is a more powerful force to save you and keep him in check. The universe cares about rules and facts not morality and your constitution.9) INJUSTICE, NO KARMA AND WICKEDNESS : The universe doesn't care about your wellbeing and disputes. That guy that raped you might never be caught and would go on to marry and be happy till he dies while you struggle to make a living. That rich guy that snatched your girlfriend or the girlfriend that cruelly snubbed you and went for a rich man might end up building a happy marriage and home while you keep on struggling. Justice is man's duty to uphold. That man that stole all your money might invest it and be successful while you rot away; that man or woman that stole your idea might use it to make billions while you rot away into oblivion and poverty; that fake friend that cruelly snubbed you during your hard time might live a life of fulfilment while you rot away in misery; that cultist that shot your sister might never be found and may go on to live a successful and happy life. There is nothing like karma, if man doesn't seek justice then justice will never be implemented. Sorry for you if you think god will avenge your hurt and fight your battles. Sorry for you if the person you want to bring justice upon is very powerful. Take heart, it's life. ... to be continued |
Glorymax:As in. When many are succumbing to this pressure to succeed, the rate of suicide increases. |
Amakavula:No I am not pained. Just had to point out what percieved as the needless harshness towards broke people. Anyway, carry go. |
vikkimimi:He has a business for which he has to put up a brand and packaging. It is also okay to pretend so as to test people and know your true friends. Fake life to impress, belong and avoid shame is wrong. |
Nuulife:I understand you but those are not the fake lives I am talking about. Yours is okay. |
See as person fingers come have the size of some people's penis. ![]()

FruitCakes:Very true, I concur. |
Can we just stop living fake lives? Who exactly are we trying to impress? Boys, why are you always snapping pictures beside a car that isn't yours? Girls, why are lying that you study in the UK? Who are you trying to impress? I understand that the pressure to succeed along with your mates is high in our society but you must always be reasonable and not follow the band wagon. Stop telling lies and start being real. If people look down on you and don't want to be your friend because you are not making it then they are not your friends indeed. They are not worth going out of your way to please. Your true friends are those who are always by your side and treat you nicely even if you are a nobody. People live fake lives trying to avoid shame, impress and get acceptance, approval and praise from people who don't care a damn about them. This is a pressure from society that only the childish in mind succumbs to. This has to stop. Since life is full of ups and downs, we would, at one point in time, be tempted to live fake lives to please people and get their approval, avoid shame and get their praise and respect. Don't do it. Be matured and know that people's perspective about you does not define you or determine your worth so stop trying to belong or impress people that don't even give you a penny. If you are already living a fake life, try to start strategically coming out with the truth because the longer you live a fake life, the harder it is to come out with the truth. It would be disastrous and embarrassing when people finally find out. If you come out clean and that girl or boy you are eyeing doesn't want you, let the person go. If you come out clean and those group of friends start misbehaving and don't want you anymore, let them go. Everyone cannot be your friend and what they think no dey put food for your table. If your status, bio or whatever on social media says you study in UK while you are here in Nigeria, remove it. If your status, bio or whatever on social media says that you are working at Chevron while you are actually jobless, remove it. It's better to live it blank than tell lies. Use your discretion to come out clean or if you can't come out, don't say anything at all and don't lie any further. If you have a friend that is living a fake, don't judge them instead show them that you are never going to leave his/her side and try to make him/her stop living a fake life. If they decide to come out clean, be by your friend's side and be his/her pillar while they face the shame. This is 2019, I hope boys and girls would stop living fake lives and start being real. Anyone, even if it is your childhood or close friend that you may have helped, that is rich and looking down on you should go to hell. Stop this habit. Some would say "fake it until you make it," if you don't end up making it nko? If the success comes when you are 50 something nko? You think success is anyone's birthright? The universe doesn't give a damn about anyone. Please, nairaland boys and girls that are guilty of this, let this stop. ![]() For the sake of humour and education, share your experience living a fake life and if you were caught, share it. No one is here to judge anyone. If someone other than you has been caught (either by you or others) living a fake life, share it. If you secretly know someone living a fake life and that person hasn't been exposed yet, share it. Just share. This is front page worthy. Please do the needful. When you see that girl who says she is studying Medicine in the UK selling pawpaw at Mushin.

MrBrownJay1:Actually money is involved. Ladies try to hook rich men with pregnancy for financial reasons. |
Na wa o. Poor people are still human beings. Being nice to poor people doesn't mean that you will marry them or get pregnant for them. It also doesn't mean that you must give money. YOU CAN BE NICE TO POOR PEOPLE AND STILL MARRY YOUR RICH MAN. Calling poor people suckers is mean and doesn't speak well of your personality. I have never treated poor people harshly even though I don't give them money because I believe everyone should go and work and not give birth to children that they can't take care of. Some of your posts and topics reeks of a heartless gold digging personality who, with great efforts, rationalises heartless gold digging. Are you sure you don't kpansh for career and monetarily favours? This is very very bad. |
SarcasticMe:Johnydon22 that is schooling atheists like me is who you are claiming your re7arded creationist hippie is schooling.
|
Amakavula:I am not attacking you. I said it's possible that you are a hard working woman with dignity and it's also possible that you kpanshed for favours. This applies to those female bank leaders. I don't know you, I can't vouch for you instead I am open to all possibilities about your character. I repeat, nothing is as it seems. Besides, why couldn't you properly comprehend my post but felt that I am attacking you even when I am not. Is there something you have to tell me?
|
Barayeks:Those women are surely educated but you just can never tell if they kpanshed someone at a critical time to get some huge position. I may be wrong. Nothing in this life is as it seems. Even Amakavula might have kpanshed or might have worked hard all the way but you can never tell. I repeat, nothing in life is as it seems. |
The madness of the left. The people have spoken and to seek to overturn the peoples vote is undemocratic and treason. Privileged assholes who are disconnected from reality. |
frosbel2:Lol. Many people are dying from rejecting medicine and using faith but you don't get to see them on the news instead more focus is given to the hypocrites called moderates who conveniently interpret the scripture to their convenience because everyone wants to hear that christianity is good and harmless. This suits people's feelings even though it's at the expense of reality. I remember when I started taking this faith thing seriously and started getting involved in new generational churches, I decided to apply my faith to cure malaria. I snubbed my antimalarial for faith and I kid you not. What saved me was that I was at home due to the holiday and the excited me told my mum about my so called works of faith. There was fire on the mountain . My mum went hysterical and was pleading with me take my medication but I stood my ground and was wondering why my mum, being a christian, wasn't in support of my action, the irony. I later took my drugs after being talked into it by my cell leader who said "For peace to reign, obey your mum. It's not the drug that would heal you, it's Jesus." Can you imagine. This was many years ago and I wondered what would have happened if I was in the hostel and away from my mum's supervision. I was a small boy then and being an introvert and growing up in a household that is full of heavy (I really meany heavy) indoctrination into believing spiritual stuffs didn't help matters.My mum hypocrisy got me wondering. Why would this woman who claim to be a christian and heavily believes in spiritual stuff act as if faith is magical thinking? I sensed this same hypocrisy in all christians I knew. It was always the same "we believe in god" but acting and thinking like god doesn't exist. I later started mixing out with people, joined nairaland and started observing human life. I came to the conclusion that despite the so much noise about god's existence and power, nature always took it's course regardless of what we believe. Religious people who have terminal cancer always end up dying. As a medical student then, I once asked myself "why am I studying medicine if there is faith healing?" Mehn, I was a young boy then and I did many stupid stuff because of the bible. Now, I am matured and I am an atheist. Exposure helps. The first set of atheists I came across on nairaland were Donffd (will never forget him), edibleketara and some others. They ganged up against me in one thread to argue against my religious beliefs.Anyways, religious beliefs are not harmless. To survive, man needs the truth so as to make realistic approaches to solve his problems. Unrealist approaches can be dangerous. This is why I bash and debunk religious claims and why I am an anti-theist. ![]() |
@Creativebae Too bad you met an asshole. You can't always have a "yes" and you can't always meet matured men. If you don't get a "yes" or the guy shows himself to be an asshole, move on with your life. Don't give up, there are still good guys out there. One douchebag doesn't represent every boy. ![]() |
apelike1:Check my last topic and you will be amazed. A lot of boys keep saying that girls should just give green light as if everyone can understand green light. Many boys are so perverted that any little kind gesture or admiration is seen as romantic interest. SMH |
J4JUVENTUS:As in. I remember when one girl was convincingly telling my course rep that she is a virgin but little did she know that her ex-boyfriend had a video of their sexual intercourse and showed it to my course rep. My course rep said that if not for the video, he would have believed she is virgin. Girls. |
