kaboninc: Jealousy of my writing skills?

adaobi123: yeah right

SECURITY WOMAN: Ok. There is this new guy. I must say, he is a smooth talker . I don't know if I should take him serious or not.

He literally use wooing lines and the rest. I find it strange with guys in this day and age?

Actually, the point is 'How do we ladies identify a player?

Players in the house, how do we identify you?

adaobi123: just friends

REALITY101: Ewu

2buff: Why?
I say this ofcourse, in terms of our materialistic nature.
Materialism is in itself, a symptom of low self esteem.
The feeling that You as a person, are not enough and cannot be respected until you have X.
That another, as a person, is not enough and cannot be respected until they have X.

X could be anything, even a title.

E.g When I browse through LinkedIn, I am almost certain that the person you see with Engr. in front of their name is bound to be a Nigerian. There is a simplicity from western culture that I envy. A quiet understanding that "I am enough and no less a human whether I have X or not" and it is little wonder that they make better headway with life than the boistrous Nigerians. Sometimes I think the universe watches and laughs at our pettiness.

People of other cultures who do this are often seen as juveniles, still finding themselves. Still young in their journey of self discovery. Generally, they are seen as people who aren't there yet...and it's true. Where-as, in Nigeria (and maybe ethnic blacks in general?), it is the very opposite.

i.e. You are no-body unless you pose with a BMW and point at the sign
Like... seriously? You know who you are

NB: I am quite well-to-do [Glory be to God] so this is not some broke guy whining. Just encouraging introspection among my brothers and sisters. It is my hope that getting to the root of this would help us rise against the extreme greed present in our society today.....because everyone feels they are not enough.
