We should talk about something next jare :

Intelligent without character, character is the conduit, and without good character, even intellect is rubbish

Well I do not know your definition of intelligent. The intelligent people I have seen are very humble. You won't even know their high I.Q till you challenge them in a task. Those who are not intelligent are the ones that blow their trumpet. They want to get noticed and to be known to be intelligent.

Character is everything bro. Without character, intelligence is nothing.

livingseed:
You too.

AND...Sometimes when people have a different lifestyle or view, others call them ignorant or knowledgeable.

Sometimes too what mixes as Money, Wisdom, Knowledge or Ignorance is 100% subjectively based (like when others would see you as a loser for having no job for example, or when you have criminal friends who would call you a winner for closing a successful coke deal). Cheers.

That is humans for you. When you share different opinions with them, they see you as low in the food chain. Intelligence is now linked to money and Nigeria is the product of such an experiment.

Because we have much affinity for money, until you have money, no one respects you. When I left school, I was told to come and read money because it is the language the world understands. So I got books on money, heavy books. I finished 10 and I started thinking money.
But that is just to communicate with the world.

We should keep this thread alive

This thread is very dear to me. So many wisdom have been placed herein. So it must be live always

livingseed:
Lately, I've been paying special attention to people I find around me in an attempt to know them more and the people that exemplified real intelligence with character etc in my life never announced that they were. Ever. I discovered that they were by fortune. They didn't have to preach it--they lived it. I admire the type.

This is life brother. Such people don't want to be noticed. They prefer to be called losers. They lead a simple life.

While I was in school, after an exam, people say its simple, they will pass. What? They believe so much about the spoken words issue. Well they is more to power of a spoken word than people know. So when the result comes out, they fail. That's reality.

People don't want to be told the truth. They want you to tell them what they like to hear. They want to feel good even when they know who they are.

IA simplified life is a life of purpose. A life that knows no evil thought. A life that is not afraid to lose rather one that takes every situation as an opportunity.

I agree with you sir

Lol @ She is taught by the old ladies the most cunning and updated method of outsmarting guys. But it doesn't end in outsmarting them, they are also taught to win at the end.



Lol @ So her mentality is to outsmart and benefit. This is how an average Nigerian kid is trained. Which is the reason why we have got to this point. An average Nigerian girl thus grows with a weak mindset of what the world should be.




Abeg, leave Nigeria bro,lets continue the soul gist @ We are coming from the back of the world, we are still far from how humans reason. Until we solve electricity, road, house, and water problems in Nigeria, we will keep deceiving ourselves.

Yeah. That is Nigeria for you. All they do is to blame the system.

They all forgot they have got a problem to deal with. Someone asked me the solution of Nigeria's problem, my answer is that North Korea should remember us with their nuclear power.

Everything is moving full circle backwards.

At age 12, the average Nigerian girl is taught to be smart, to protect her virginity, and to know that so many guys will approach her seeking to have sex with her. She is taught by the old ladies the most cunning and updated method of outsmarting guys. But it doesn't end in outsmarting them, they are also taught to win at the end. Because they know the exact thing the guy wants, she takes advantage of it and to get money for other things. So her mentality is to outsmart and benefit. This is how an average Nigerian kid is trained. Which is the reason why we have got to this point. An average Nigerian girl thus grows with a weak mindset of what the world should be.


I keep saying it, what Nigeria need is for North Korea to remember us with their nuclear people. Nigerians have gone completely full circle backwards. Only 0.0001% of them are an exception. I always wish to belong to this number.

We are coming from the back of the world, we are still far from how humans reason. Until we solve electricity, road, house, and water problems in Nigeria, we will keep deceiving ourselves.

This is your main problem, see how you are blowing your own trumpet. It is you who has the huge ego here, indeed your girlfriend was right about you

Our desire to get the most basic needs of life in Africa especially in Nigeria have deprived us our thinking ability. Just like Nigerians are known outside to be fraudsters, deceivers, and cheaters, etc. everything is being played out at its microscopic and macroscopic level here in Nigeria.

Let me tell you how Teenagers are grown in Nigeria.

Guys:
When guys starts wet dreaming, they don't forget it in reality. They wake up wanting to have an experience the dream. So at age 14 and 15, majority of guys start watching pornography. It advances to the point that they start hearing success sex stories from older persons. How they met and smashed this lady the first day they met. So at age 16, they want to try it out. They start with their mates, and they use money to deceive them. Some even meet older persons and they continue that way. In secondary school, they start make those advances, everything they know about relationship is sex. Nothing more. They haven't understand the direction of their life, no, that issue isn't necessary at that time. All they want is sex and sex alone. So the average Nigerian guy grow with this mentality. Lastly, when he notices that his female age mate finds comfort with older people, he then goes to meet teenage ladies.

Are these teenage girls foolish? Hell, No, they are not!

The God's are not to be blamed my sister. In Nigerian relationship setting, everything seems to be arranged. People act with a predestined end. How do you think time move?
Well, time have arrows. The forward and backward arrows of time (this is physics). This world was made such that time move forward, thus, we do not see the future, rather we remember the past. Entropy tells us that our action today can disorganize the future. But what do we see in relationships today. We see people who things time moves towards the negative side. The implication is that they see the future before it happens. They know the end from the beginning. If in reality time moves that way, what do we see or observe?

1. You see a cup broken before you see it on the table. So the future acts first
2/. We die before we are born. Because the future acts first.
But in reality, things time don't move this way.

Why all this jargons. Simple. In Nigeria, people go into an affair with a clear end known to themselves. The outcome is what we see in so many relationships. Someone losing, and someone winning because, one was ignorance of the arrangement

Nairaland is fvcked. Nairaland IPOB vs Nigerian battle.

This thread must be derailed with the right information

Creativity might take time to manifest in some cases, what matters is you know what you want and you have the ability to do what is necessary when the time comes. Staying focused in life makes your life simple and it helps you get on tracks. It aids your thinking and it helps you be the best. Great works of this life were done by people who for year battled their minds.

Mrphysics, it begins with awareness, until one's condition is revealed, people continue in aloop and repeat the same errors. Remember, the first thing God did when he visited Adam ansd Eve after they ate the apple is He condemned sin, and revealed their conditions, i.e. by saying, Where are you? Careful self evaluation and improvement begins from an evaluation of the person and only upon awareness of being, and one's condition can one have an understanding of themselves and improve. Until then, people remain unbroken, passive, impassionate and dangerous

True. People are concentrated on the reasons for an action than the purpose. Most people are inconsiderate of the feelings of other people. They want to win, win, win, and win. When one persons takes it all, then the rest feel used.

In this simple world that everyone will leave soon, I try to know the purpose of my existence. Hence, I am broken, and humble. Life is a vicious circle

shaybebaby:
That, you cannot help with, it's their battle and only they can resolve it.
An insecure person has deeper issues beyond any relationship, no one can overcome that but themselves. They would need to confront their fears before they can begin to have a balanced relationship not dogged by their fears.

But they have to recognise that they have a problem in the first instance. A relationship is worth pursuing only if that acknowledgement is there on their part. If there isn't, you better walk. How can someone fix something they believe isnt broken?

This is an intellectual write up. Everything you said here is yes and amen.

If North Korea tests its Nuclear Power, you will know Nigeria has supporters. Anyway, idon't believe the fight is for or against resources. I am changing my stand, i now have a new stance, thanks to deep meditation and reflection of issues, we don't have a resources problem but a visionary problem. I am bothered that if this nation breaks up, the smaller colonies becomes too small, and small cross boundary conflicts would be uplifted as national wars. Afghanistan to Pakistan to Tajikistan to India, we have similar stuffs that has been going on for over two decades, it hasn't stopped...What do we do bro ?

One of my very first work on fiverr was criticism of the Haitian government. A country of 10 million people, 230 good years after independence, yet Nigeria is better than them. Division to a small state isn't going to solve a single thing. US as a country is bigger than Nigeria, yet every state iss productive. Nothing stops Nigerian states from doing something that will help their state grow. Lagos is doing it, Kano is doing it, Rivers is doing it. So south east should do same and we continue from there

frenzyduchess:
I am more concerned about progress than a single person, that's if you have been following my comments in the first place

I appreciate the way you are taking it but I am taking it the way it will produce a faster effect on the people. The central isn't the problem. The minster of science and technology is from same place with me. Coming from the same place hasn't changed anything, not even a single thing. The governor is from same place and that have changed something. So the problem isn't who is in the central but who is very close to the people. Those people that are close to the masses what are they doing to change the people. I was speaking with a PDP member after a loacal government, I was telling him that the new local government chairlady will do something. I told him that women in power are always ready for their work. He shocked me by telling me that the woman wasn't selected to do anything rather to share money. As the governor is spending, then these people return the money to him.

That's the point. Why have south east not moved the way it should be? Its the people and the system. Don't treat it independently

My life is very ok, what else can a man wish for? A good job, at least a child, every other thing would follow.

They are people who have this and are not satisfied. Can I send an email?

supersystemsnig:
Na, the SE will be fine, Kanu made mistakes but are you comfortable with the present shape of the SE?

I am not comfortable with any part of Nigeria especially the south east. But that is not the problem. People are not yet in charge of their various communities and they want to be in charge of a country.

Even some of those south eastern community leaders who support Biafra are still obstacles to their people. Biafra is not just a political struggle. It is best achieved by a change of mindset. You need to work with foreigners to know the definition of citizens.

supersystemsnig:
I disagree that south east doesn't have enough to fund their states, the SE needs to implement the same strategy that was employed to form modern day EU and it would be fine without crude oil. Collectively, the street says igbos have to the tune of 4 trillion in businesses in circulation, the leaders need to chart a course and they will find the way. I've done it independently and have found a formular that works, let you elders do the same...its not necessarily crude oil. if we even talk about resources, there are resources in the region, so why say there isn't enough to fund the region..i beg to disagree on this subject matter

What stops us from doing that now? How has the godly senator Abaribe in the sight of Kanu changed Abia state?. The problem of Nigeria isn't Nigeria bro. The problem is the people. Nigerians and its stupid leaders need to change their view. Do you not meet people who treats you badly? Do you not hear of the popular your village people, they are those people close to you who do not want you to succeed. They are not politicians.

The people that have done me so bad in business are people who I thought we speak the same language with. They are the same people that blame the government. People who say give us freedom, yet they are enemies to peoples success. Bro, forget it. Nigeria just tire me. Wish North Korea can remember us by testing their Nuclear power here.

Filipinobaba:
It is shameful, I know, but I care less o, she has brought Me here over and over again, I have kept quiet for a long time... Thanks anyways

Its not true. What do you want in life?

frenzyduchess:
Hopefully alot more people will begin to see things from this perspective. More than half a century yet we are still crawling, it will be foolish of anyone to be comfortable with the way things are but it seems we are good at complaining than proffering solutions.While the elite mainpilate things in their favour

Even if Biafra comes, politics will still be played. There is no part of the world that similar things are not happening. The only problem is that we are still struggling with the basic needs of life. Do you think they will ever be a time that Nigerians will cease to be Nigerians? Even Kanu was going about taking titles with no single respect for anyone. Stop keeping me at a sphere that I begin to imagine that Biafra will be like heaven because it is too difficult to believe and it makes me think I am deranged.

Every person is entitled to their individual opinion, I don't look at it from my state, I look at it from how it will favour the general populace. As smaller tribe we have watched people scramble for the national cake, before it even gets to us there might even be none left on the plate. There is nothing like true federalism in this country, breaking down the entity will allow resources get to all including other tribes who have done nothing but struggle for their voices to be heard

I like your writing style and your opinion too though I don't agree with you.

Some time ago, when they was low allocation to states, do you know what happened in Ebonyi State? Travelers pay tax. Before you pay your travel ticket, you must pay tax for that ticket or for coming to the state. Governor Umahi did it. So i want to know how south east plans to fund their state. The point is, south east is yet to have enough to fund their independence. That's even talking logically. Let me go politically

To that effect, I have a question. Did you ever believe that Kanu would bring the arrival of Biafra? Did you ever imagine it?
