Quite the opposite. I'm very patriotic, what I meant to write was "let the nationalistic ones save Nigeria". I've redacted it to reflect this point.

Leaving a country you are patriotic towards doesn't mean you don't like or want the best for it, but a well known strategy of "surviving first, then fight later". You can't be hungry and hopeless in Nigeria while refusing to leave because you're patriotic. That's stupidity.

This reminds me of the 18th century invasion of Russia by France. The French military led by Napoleon were undefeatable then, and the French envied the vast landmass of Russia, longing for the defeat of the Russian empire and to occupy their land with all the resources buried underneath.

The Russians being very patriotic devised an ingenious method, which is, they allowed the French army to advance deep into the interior of Russia which took them months, even into their capital Moscow. The Russians even burnt their capital and looted it, and when the French arrived, they were shocked. Like what is happening?

Then the Russians attacked. If you know anything about Russia, you'll see that they are known for two things. Landmass and winter, which the Russians used to their advantage.

For example if Ghanian army wanted to attack Nigeria through the Lagos seme border, it's easier to defeat them when you allow them march deep into the interior of Nigeria, then fight them maybe in North, in state like Maiduguri, the opposite end of Lagos.

This strategy is deadly because supplies and food become difficult and longer for the invading army to access, their morale weakened, and of course it's difficult to go back home for the invading army, and in the case of Russia, the dead freezing cold of the arctic was an advantage.

In a nutshell, the Russians defeated the French army, and with for roughly every five soldiers that made it to Russia, only one returned alive. Over a century later, Hitler attempted the same thing snd met the same fate of defeat.

So if the Russians can destroy a global capital city such as Moscow, so they can strategize and return with a more deadly ambush, then on an individual level, patriotism would be to leave and support the nation either through cash (eg when you send money to your loved ones, build your house, open a business etc), you're good to go.

The opposite will be nationalism, which in my book is toxic and stupid. Like those northerners than blow up their countrymen for some stupid ideology, or that no matter how bad the country degenerates into, they see leaving as betrayal and unpatriotic. That's stupidity, not patriotism.

So my dear comrade, japa first, save yourself, remove the speck in your eyes, see clearly and thrive, then determine how you want to support or help the country. That's true patriotism.

Hello,
Please I sent you a DM.

Mindlog:


It is more of a career I desired, had to take the bold step of re-routing my path towards the field of psychology and had to go re-do a Bachelor degree in it and while in my second year, did a course in child and adolescent psychology, I then made up my mind I was going to specialize in child and adolescent mental health......there are so much career opportunities working with young persons in the UK but most Nigerians who come over to the UK for studies, don't follow the data reason after studies, many still pay for COS to do care jobs. (I don't in any way demean it as it is an honest job).

Hello.
If you don't mind, I will like to find out a few things from you, please. I sent you a message via email.

Family / Re: Does Money Really Give TRUE Happiness? by MichAm: 7:35am On Apr 18, 2023

Life is puzzling.

Sometimes I wonder why our politicians steal so much. By God's grace, I became rich and graced to see hundreds of million. A few contracts here and there and a great career. But here comes a new problem. This doesn't excite me anymore. The next 10 million is not going to make my life any better. Promotion at work, increase in income, nothing excites me anymore and worse is that I am not materialistic at all, so acquiring gadgets, toys, or building mansions could never make me excited. I live a very simple life, wear basic quality fashion items, and drive simple cars. This is just my personality and not an act of humility.

Despite all the many good things that have happened in my life and all the things that I could potentially acquire. I am at a stage where I am really confused about myself.
Sometimes I buy unnecessary things I don't need just to feel like I am spending money. Other times, I am quick to assist deserving friends.

If you are not materialistic and yet, rich. How did you overcome this problem? This problem has left me in a state where I am neither happy nor sad.

I read this post and it got me thinking about the exact way to explain this, because I'm not rich, so I don't know how it feels to be rich but I'm ok.

Well, if I say Jesus! You might just be tempted to think this one has come with religion, (smiles) not all about that because I don't know how to explain or preach him to you when I'm not a preacher; I can't even make you know him or see him except you genuinely desire him and only you and he can build that relationship.

I know how it feels to want to find him, especially in this generation where familiarizing yourself with Christ looks aches but there is an unimaginable Joy, happiness, pain, fulfillment, and a sense of purpose with him. Have you ever fallen in love, do know how it feels to just be with that one person despite all odds? He does not promise all roses but he is always with you even in the middle of a storm that makes you not feel alone.

Imagine having the money and having Christ as a friend. He comes into your life with a conscience that allows you to run from wrong and evil no matter how pleasurable it might look. Just do your findings and research yourself! There's more to him than we hear on the pulpit.
