She was a serial cheat and never fail to apologise because i was catching her almost every time she cheated on me.
I made her my sex mate whenever i want to have sex and even told her that i will marry her that she should wait for me which she did. She just saw my wedding card without my notice and learnt that cheating was never an option

HRHQueenPhil:
U can start by being a person of integrity
Whether people are looking or not, u are trustworthy and can be relied on
I say this because I have been duped so many times online and I wonder why people cannot be trusted. Online market has space for everyone to be millionaires and better our nation but who to trust has become a huge issue...

And that is another misconception about maturity.
Maturity doesn't necessarily come with age but exposure amd mindset.

Actually everything you have mentioned are not African culture but rather western culture.because you have no idea what African culture is you then think that those are assocated with African culture.if you do any research into African culture you would have known that before the coming of the white,African did not even have as little is thieft and all sciences began in Africa
Well, I don't decieve myself, and I don't push blames. So it's Western culture to ascribe all occurrences to witchcraft, neighbours etc





quote author=ModestGal post=90950620]The reason why we are so poor in this part of the world is due to our African culture of poverty..

I have come to realize that Naturally, African cultures promotes poverty, fanatical beliefs, and others.

For instance, in African movies, you will realize that it doesn't promote Innovations,science or other reasonable beliefs about getting rich. The only thing it promotes is Superstitious beliefs and wishful thinkings. For example, a mother whoose child is sick would not personally think of what could be the cause, what could be wrong, how can this be solved(which is where science and innovation start, from questions), but her first thought would be to attributes such cause to someone she fought the previous day.

Many atimes, you will see people getting rich either out of Money rituals or LUCK. Have you ever watched an African movie where an individual actually became rich out of thinking of his way out of poverty? No, you will never see such.
What you will see include people that has a STAR right from Birth, or people that got LUCKY maybe met someone that connected him when he was walking in one road
Or people that the pastors/Alfas/Imams ask to do some certain things etcetera

AFRICAN WAYS OF BECOMING RICH
1. LUCK
2. Mercy
3.Divine interventions
4. Money Rituals
5. Corruption
6. Favour
7. Grace
8. Fraud
Aside these methods, i dont think Africans actually think there are higher chances of some other methods getting them rich.
All these beliefs will not make any Nation to grow because LUCK for instance is uncommon, and would only happen to very few percentage of people naturally, so why wasting time praying for it? Or why wasting time wishing for it? Why don't you just make it happen? Work towards being the becoming great without LUCK.
When you are the lucky one, it means the other people are unfortunate, so LUCK/GRACE/ itself is not a healthy way of a Nation growing, because it would always make a higher percentage of the population to become poor, and thats exactly why high number of Africans are Poor. Let's say 1000 people all work towards luck, and a person is lucky amidst 1000 people and got the offer, it means the rest 999 people would be unfortunate, so which means a high number of people in the society would always be unfortunate (opposite of luck)
Let me site another example for you, I'm in my twenties now, so let's just say that for the past 15years, I have met up to 2000 people, out of these people, I'm not sure I know 10people who became rich through LUCK, or meeting a good hearted man (known as Oloore in Yoruba),that helped them out of no where to succeed, and from they become very rich. This percentage is not even upto 3% of the people I have met, which means it is a wasted wishes that would leave many disappointed. So why not just focus on realistic, practicable ways of becoming successful! This is still the prayer point of so many, meeting helper (''Alaanu'' ) that would make them blow. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's totally bad, but don't put your mind there, focus your thoughts on something you can make happen by yourself that would make you be that person you want

I do not think African culture actually think it's possible to become rich through smart thinking.
Did Mark Zukerberge got rich through Grace, Luck, Mercy?

I don't blame all these movie directors, because they prefer to produce things that people would love to buy. I realize that many homes watch these type of movies and have these beliefs, and it is most common with our poor people and I believe this is a contributing factor to poor people becoming poorer.


Our politicians will always be corrupt because Nigerian culture promotes corruption. For instance, all these politicians house are usually crowded when they visit their home towns with people looking for favours, and money to collect. Now, tell me how these people will not loot and steal?
You won't understand this until you get into any position of power in Nigeria, and you dare not put some of your family members in some positions they are not even fit for, they will frustrate your life.
Our society promotes corruption, only the family of those who are not presently in power will go against a leader who is not looting for them.
If you are in power and you are not looting for your people, African would belief you are a bastard even your children would curse you when they grow old and you didn't leave loot for their unborn generation to inherit
....
Seriously, I think we need to reach out to those movie makers, because I believe they have the power of changing so many false beliefs inherent in our traditions that are limiting our people in one way or the other
Do we even have past heroes that got rich out of smart thinking?

Really, this is rear @bolded I believe you are above that age but can you still marry a guy of your current age.

irrefragable:
Me, dumb? I am well past the age of exchanging compliments on NL, so I'll say thanks for thinking so high of me. I'm flattered beyond measure.

You say you are already taking other actions in solving that. Congrats and goodluck in doing that. Though, The only way I can think of you doing that, is by training other upcoming script writers. Now, to do that you'll need to at least give them samples of good movie scripts you've written, or at least give them good movie scripts ideas and how to form those ideas on their own, right? So it all comes back to your learning how to write a good movie Script.

See, I used to be like you. I used to get mad at the poor story lines of Nigerian movies, so I decided to do something about it, in my own little way. See creative writing is not about writing an essay with good diction. It's a different university of its own. It takes years and efforts, plus a lot of mental energy. And a good movie story line must be able to be enjoyed as a novel, first, before it can be applauded as a great movie. If you have ever spent about two to three hours just thinking of how to fix a plot in a story, you will understand what I mean by mental stress.

I know you must be thinking of such great movies that are really educative and shape people's thinking like the Indian movie ''Three Idiots''. But such stories are written by people with really high Intelligence, intelligence that has been built by years of wide study and deep thinking. That's why I said creative writing is not your 450 words WAEC essay. I've been there and I'm still there, that's why I don't criticize people who write shoddy scripts to make quick bucks.

Also, you will need to consider the Nigerian factor: piracy. A good script writer deserves to be paid handsomely, and with the Nigerian factor where even producers always complain about not making up to their actual cost, how is a good writer going to be rewarded for all that his mental strain?

So, I still maintain that you must have a better product in the thinking-outside-box movie-writing business before you can criticize what we already have. At least the guys that produce what we watch are already doing something to entertain us, even though it is of poor quality, so have something better before....

Lastly, I have two things to tell you. First, I don't comment on topics to get a reply from the original poster. That's childish. I comment to give them a different angle on the subject. You are left to either consider it or forget it.
Secondly, if you consider someone to be dumb, you don't need to reply that person. Replying that person only says more about you, something like ''we are of the same mental IQ, but I'm just more egoistic and narcissistic, so I have to use some words to degrade you, and make you feel bad about yourself".

A lifetime is too short to be replying dumb people because they will try to drag you to their level of reasoning. So it is advisable to move on to smart alecs like you and have a great analytical discourse or debate.

My piece of advice. Bye.

Dididrumz:
What do You mean by age mate is not possible for my type
Don't just say things because you feel like saying things.

what if you meet a guy and you guys started talking, He was so mature, talks with respect and all that. But through this period the age talk did not just come up until feelings started building up only for you to find out that You are 2years older than him. what will You do??



It's still dsame thing: Intelligence Quotient/Intelligence Level. it's the same thing.
age has nothing to do with IQ ok.

Kccheechy:
So many women believe a man must either be a smoker, a womanizer or a drunkard, or even a football freak. For them, if you don't belong to any of the group you are not sharp, you are soft and dull. Why? I believe there are guys who don't engage it any of these vices and yet are very lively and active, but many women would rather not date them. Why?
