Daeylar: , please don't change. I'll complain for the sake of it, but I like you like this joor. Whether they've planned your matter and were just waiting for the right time LMAOLmao! you really cracked me up with this. ![]() |
Dfire:Why shouldn't I mention the only protest that has worked (in your opinion)? Shouldn't we use that and all the failed protests as case-studies to see what we should be doing differently? Nigerians always prefer to adjust themselves to the bad situations instead of pushing back; it's a nasty vice in a nationalist context. I do have a very radical plan (you must have one too) because it is clear which installations militate against serious rebellion, but saying it would probably get a lot of stick. it's the kind of idea that germinates in trusted cells, not in a public forum. It isn't rocket science, we clearly haven't had enough oppression yet. The thing you should know is that rebellion is far more likely to happen, than approving gun ownership for every Nigerian because they know very well what demon they have created in the guise of the masses. |
Jman06:Yes, it is a real real sickness. A psychological disorder that is quite common where a person has been taught to believe that sex is dirty and shameful. |
Dfire:The reason a lot of Nigerians have short fuses is that most of us have our backs against the wall and are frustrated beyond measure. Nothing works: epileptic power supply, no water, bad roads, and on top of all that agberos harass you at your place of business to demand illegal taxes and start confiscating your belongings if you object. Politicians shove you off the road with their fifty-car entourages and don’t even care if you’ve run into a gutter. Policemen extort you at checkpoints even if your papers are intact; they come up with ridiculous accusations and can’t even be bothered with proving any of their claims. Road safety officials will insist that drivers adhere to all safety regulations but will not mount the same pressure on FERMA to fill potholes. Nobody at PHCN can do simple arithmetic to subtract the amount you paid last month from your current bill; they only know how to add. People are out of jobs but positions are being filled by corpses. And somewhere at the center, they rob the nation blind. It’s one ridiculous story after another. We can’t blame people for being angry and volatile; it’s as a result of the lack of confidence in our systems. And we take it out on each other because we can’t do much else. Or so we think. If you see how quickly bottles are broken, or a tire is tossed around the neck of a robbery suspect you’d swear someone’s orgasm depended on the stench of singeing flesh. But we aren’t really angry with each other. If you ask people: If they had guns and no laws, whom would they kill? You’d see that several persons would make an appearance on most lists. And the scenario wouldn’t even be hypothetical if we had guns because the laws are non-existent on certain levels. That quote by Thomas Jefferson speaks about tyranny from government. I think that rebelling against a tyrannical government is a noble cause (guns or no) but what you’re proposing with gun ownership isn’t that. It is rather an admission that the government has failed in its duties to provide security. And instead of facing our leaders to demand better governance, we are (once again) cowed into providing for ourselves. They shouldn’t be let off so easily. The repercussions of that are dire because there are bound to be meaningless deaths: people bleeding in the streets, not for patriotism but as casualties of bad government. It would be akin to the Wild West where practically everyone is a gunslinger. And if we are all wielding guns, the only edge we can hope for is a super quick hand or the element of surprise. What I believe Nigerians should do is not to sit on their hands and hope (or pray) for things to get better, because they won’t on their own, what I believe we should do is to protest. To come hard against injustice. To put tribal and religious sentiments aside and to call out perpetrators. Don’t get mad at each other; get mad at government. About low murder rates in countries with relaxed gun laws: well, murder is premeditated killing. With guns handy at all time you should expect deaths as a result of accidental shootings, manslaughter and self-defence. Not murder. In any case, they're all deaths resulting from guns. And there's a correlation between the gun ownership rate of a country and the gun deaths. The US being the highest on both variables. |
Jman06:The Madonna-Wh.ore complex is actually a real life disorder, I didn't just invent it. Maybe look it up? |
Daeylar:Lol! I'm not going to live this one down, am I? ![]() Not a robber. As long as the robber doesn't touch you, or. Hit you, that's different,Yes, may be killing a rapist might not be an issue with people. But I would still have killed a person. I'd still be a killer . But still a killer of a person. And once one, always one. I just don't see why that's necessary when I could have defended myself without actually killing the perp. Killing is a baptism into a very disturbing realm. Even a kill-or-be-killed scenario would cost a person serious rehabilitation to stall monsterization. But people have different views on the issue. All right, I think he was just annoyed earlier. , yeah? But I was only referring to the average Nigerian now. I know most of us don't consider ourselves to be the 'average' Nigerian, but still....Nigerians can know how to vex! Sometimes the reaction from a total stranger can be so over-the-top, you'll be wondering if they've been waiting for you since. Lol, I don't know if that button was Still in reach , shey you see? ![]() |
Dfire:Yes, we are. And it's all as a result of sub-standard education, and then ruining even that haphazard attempt at enlightenment with religion. That's why we are so docile that we allow ourselves be shooed into a corner. No electricity, we buy generators; No water, we drill bore-holes; No security, we hire guards or buy guns. I will respond to your earlier post in a bit. |
Daeylar:Thank you. And done. LMAOLmao! @whisper. You! But yeah, it should be so. They should do the due diligence to ensure nutters like us aren't approved for gun ownership. But you know the integrity of our systems. This is too sensitive to just let slip through the cracks. |
Daeylar: Actually, it wasn't that serious. I was just building up to something with that. So I exaggerated the annoyance a bit so that I could play on gun control being his saving grace. Gosh, Daeylar please o! Don't be afraid of me. I wouldn't hurt a fly PreachI know, right! Lol. And they know exactly what they're doing. Too bad yelling back "Man!" doesn't have the same effect. I'm very sorry for laughingSorry for laughing? Babe, I love you for putting this in context. |
Daeylar:Lmao! , I quoted you before I saw your full break-down. Thanks for improving my mood, sweetie. Have a lovely day! |
Daeylar:Babe! Real question for the gods. Most of us would fail the psyche evaluations necessary for ownership anyway, but you know how it is here , driver's license doesn't require an actual test; road worthiness is issued for a vehicle unseen. It would be crazy with guns. |
Maezara:Lmao , I tell you! |
Dfire:People don't carry cutlasses as accessories and if they did, it would be clear that they had malicious intentions. But with guns, people would say: it's for protection. Like pepper-spray or tasers. They're cool handy accessories. To your question: That's were the cooling-off period comes in. Never mind cutlass, knives or kerosene; guns also aren't hard to get. The point is: I didn't have one on me in that moment. And the moment is allowed to pass. I don't obsess over it for long enough to start hashing a plan; and that's the difference between premeditated murder and killing in a blind rage. |
Dfire:Okay. But we are all just guessing. I am assuming that the mentality would be a problem; and you're assuming that it won't. There's no certainty. And the only thing we can go buy is the typical reaction of people on the streets and how easily they're given to violence. How often do you hear people looking for the nearest thing that can cause bodily harm to someone and then apply it without caution? And for trivial issues. I used myself in that example because I know how many times I've wished I had the power of juju to hurt somebody in the moment. |
khadaffi:Whatever your morning pick-me-up is, coffee or tea, please endeavor to indulge yourself before quoting someone. At least, it would increase your cognition and reduce the chances of you making yourself an unnecessary annoyance so early in the morning. CAN they? And SHOULD they? Are two separate arguments in the gun debate. Let's not even go into the methods you proffered for acquiring a gun as contraband; the argument is that: it would give me so much satisfaction to push a button right now and have your head explode wherever you are, just for annoying me this morning. If you were in front of me and I had a gun, I would likely shoot you. Not to protect myself, but because I find you annoying and because the gun is in my hand and would likely shut you up. We have so many unstable citizens who would be annoyed by: a girl turning them down; someone refusing to accept their point of view; someone cutting in in front of them in a queue or in traffic; someone calling you "woman!" In that annoying derogatory manner. And we can be so impulsive too that a bullet in the head would fix everything. There will be a lot of killers that would be let off on the technicality of "temporary insanity". But people should not be holding guns in that moment of insanity. There should be that cooling-off period where what you do next defines you. Are you going to chill? Or are you going to plan a murder? So please, the issue in that post wasn't how to acquire guns in Nigeria. It's that the average mentality of Nigerians should not be empowered with guns because, in my opinion, it would result in more harm than good. This concern isn't even just limited to Nigerians. Even countries where the government has not frustrated its citizens into becoming tire-wielding mobs, have these concerns. Oscar Pistorius has had the opportunity to discover that he's a killer after all. Most of us don't know who we are and what we are capable of until we have power. |
First, this might not be true for all men who cheat; and for those that do fall into the category, I think those men are best suited to answer this question. But if I were to hazard a few guesses I would say...... 1. Bride-Price: Some men erroneously feel that they own their wives after paying the bride price. In their minds, she's been paid for in full to perform her duties to him and so he shouldn't have to sweat to make her cum. 2. The Madonna-Wh.ore Complex: Some men cannot respect a woman and be sexually aroused by her at the same time. They marry the women they respect (the Madonna) because they may make better partners and mothers (in their opinion). But they put them on a pedestal and cannot treat them as sexual objects. They would rather sexualize the mistress. 3. Ego: Some of these men date mistresses half their age; and if she's impressed by his performance, it would be a feather to his cap. He knows he's in competition with a younger dick; and even though he might have the advantage of deeper pockets, he would still like to be regarded a stud. Mistresses are also more likely to spread the word than the wives. 4. Over time, they just take their wife's sexual needs for granted. They see her busy with the kids, work and chores; she may not have the time to get sexy very often and so, they stop seeing her that way. |
Pavore9:Exactly what I was thinking. The average Nigerian is angry bordering on psychotic - rowdy arguments, road rage, gra-gra, I-big-pass-you. If we all carry guns, the chaos that would ensue is best not imagined. This is a country where it's not so hard to get away with murder; the authorities always claim they're underfunded when it's time to do their work. I wish we could carry guns more easily, but we need to heal the psyche of the populace first. |
Lmao! He's all about equal opportunities for the living and the dead. Watch out for mass migration of expatriate ghosts too. Where else would they have it so good. |
Maezara:Awesome! Thanks a lot, sweetie. And back at ya A Happy & Prosperous New Year to all the aforementioned. |
Wow, thank you Divepen1 for organizing this, you're truly awesome. Thank you to everyone who voted, everyone who reads and/or comments: you're my (our) encouragement; please don't relent. By the way, due to circumstances beyond my control, RaggedyAnn is now MissWrite. I wish everyone of you a very Happy and Prosperous New Year! |
greiboy:Thanks for the mention, sweetie. Happy New Year |
Happy Birthday. |
Lol! Funny. . But money or no money won't make some women sweat. He should edit the wheel by inserting: sex with the wife; sex with the secretary, sex with the hot neighbour; sex with the maid..............at least she'll still have her 11/12 chance of evading sex to do her knitting. And when she consents to spinning the wheel, she's giving him permission to cheat. |
This is the most honest insight (written by a man) on the psyche of a man as it concerns cheating that I have read on this forum. Op, oil dey your head, walahi! You're right, it does come from a lack of self awareness and the failure to tame emotions with the Will. But here's the thing: A man may feel that he doesn't need to have himself fully sorted out in that regard (becoming self-aware) because he feels he can always cheat or marry someone else if the first one doesn't 'click'. (This thinking is a product of the values he has and his Will will only be strong enough to protect his values). Most men find it easy to settle down with women they barely even know; as soon as their mind is set on marriage, they ask mum, sister or friend to hook them up with someone and boom! Two months later, they're hitched. In contrast, women are advised to look well before they leap because, culturally, they aren't perceived to be resilient in relationships. So they they make the effort to know themselves, and to find someone who is compatible. Whereas, men naively assume that they can make a match for anyone. If men begin to see cheating as a vice, they would be shrewder when choosing suitable mates. They would try harder to understand their emotional and intellectual needs, and develop their will to protect the values they hold. |
Lol! |
Wow, this guy is actually right. I thought stealthing (a guy removing the condom during sex, without her consent) was the only way cumming inside a woman without consent would be unacceptable. Apparently, he's culpable even if he withdraws too late. Not rape, but rape-adjacent crimes. Hmmm. Sex is like navigating a minefield (for men) these days ![]() |
I'm yours...forever Stay in bed Satan is forgiven I'm just kidding.......(after he says he's HIV positive........after some reckless fvcking) Uh, Uhm (gulp)........(when he looks at you and you know you brought it) You're the GOAT |
Lovingly written . Una wehdone. |
goldbim:Lol. Wow, back then I would do anything by Sidney Sheldon, Jeffery Archer, Jackie Collins, John Grisham, Richard North Patterson, Danielle Steel, Harold Robbins, Judith Krantz, Patricia Cornwell, Stephen King and Mary Higgins Clark. Then the occasional Ludlum and Cook. And those a novel a night books by Penny Jordan, Charlotte Lamb, Janet Daily, Jude Deveraux........ . These days I can barely get through one in a month ![]() |
goldbim: , You recognize those titles! Lol! You're a fellow novel freak! |
greiboy:It's not your (most men's) imagination, no. I agree with you, some girls don't have humility (that's their character flaw) and it begins to show when they are independent. But! Most guys are already so used to manipulating/disrespecting women with their money that they don't have an objective position on this. It won't take much for a woman to appear "arrogant" from their perspective, she only needs to refuse to be manipulated and she's seen as obstinate and disrespectful. I saw you quote Beyonce earlier, that's what that line was about: not attacking, but having your own so that you don't have to take the disrespect from guys. |

. But still a killer of a person. And once one, always one. I just don't see why that's necessary when I could have defended myself without actually killing the perp.
