Mr tooknow that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about photographers and not motivation quotes

Make of my post whatever you want to make of it. Those who make of it what you call motivation will make of it, those who don't, will not. It's not by force and I don't expect you to always agree with my messages or have the level of understanding to appreciate them.

Enjoy your special day 🙂

The best memories are in our minds. The photos are just reminders of our memories, some of which, 10 years from now, we may even regret having. How many of you have your grandparents album and if they have, how many of you are interested in it? The most important picture is the one in your mind. I am not trying to downplay what the photographer did but don't make too much fuss of it. Maybe it's a sign that you'll do a renewal in 5 years time, no 15 years time so that you can take photos

What is so special about their visa that you put your financial life to a hold? God Abeg, let Nigeria be good let this nonsense stop. Nigerians too should stop acting desperate.

Keep them guessing, it's best that way to shh until it's time.

papyjaypaul:
If the coalition wants to succeed, they better take Tinubu's approach of keep them guessing. Make it look like you are confused for now, give us different fighting news and when election time comes for primaries, organize. Distract your enemy. Confuse them.

A man who doesn't have anything to lose is the most dangerous, he can scatter everything.

Gentledove2001:
Is Obi a radio presenter? Presenters are trained to talk but for someone of Obi capacity should know when to talk, he is talking too much but let me shock you, he doesn't have what it takes to be president.

Just say you don't like him and that's okay but saying he talks too much is petty. If he doesn't talk, you'll ask where's the opposition? If he talks only at election time, you'll say he comes only 4 years to talk and go away, what does he do in those 4 years? He's talking, you are here complaining again. We had presidents that didn't talk to us, did that bring us any progress?

Gentledove2001:
This man doesn't know when to talk and when to keep quiet. Anyone can contest election in Nigeria provided you are a citizen, is your right. He keeps talking too much and people who talk too much lie too much.

Radio and TV presenters talk alot. Are they liars? Today, live streamers have taken over. Are they also liars?

It's called warts, Google it and consult your doctor or dermatologist.

MissOpe:
Let's assume there's 50-50 shared responsibility at home, you still need the lady to submit abi, after she don change her name to your own, after she done born for u and her children dey use Ur name, and most times she'll do more of the chores and still go to work like u, u still need her to say yes sir to all your demands and request .
Mr man, make I no knack u wetin dey my mouth..

Good argument. Okay missope, as a woman, what do you want?

After that, please respond to my next question.

What do you think women want?

No knack me akpako, let's have a discussion like adults that I believe you are.

Lanruze:
Have you noticed that wedding ceremonies and events have reduced Post-covid ?

There is an imminent endemic on unmarried women and single mothers based on the factor stated.

The devil is so smart that it uses feminist as agents to recruit new gullible converts to the frustrating, confused and depressing world of Feminism.

I have a single mother of three (3) boys who prides herself as Hotmum on Facebook dishing out advice on singlehood and enduring divorce to gullible young women.

She had a high algorithm on her page with many likes, shares and comments but now her audience has reduced as she found love herself again after advising gullible Women on the benefits of singlehood.

Unfortunately for the Hotmum as she calls herself on Facebook the new Man abandoned her and she has resumed her crappy long epistle advice again on FB.

Ladies Men are like

Negative news sells faster. Misery loves company. That's why I tell people to stay away from bad news, those with good homes don't broadcast it. If you let your life be directed by the content, the fake content of the internet, you too will be a subscriber to doom.

I don't plat tribal games here and wondering why you quoted me but let me humor you lots who don't understand that humans are humans,
IGHALO IS FROM EDO STATE

On the other thread, someone asked what destroys a man

papyjaypaul:
Not having focus in life (your future) and not thinking about your legacy (what you leave behind).

You'll just be flowing with the wind. Anywhere Belle face.

Also letting your joystick direct your affairs and letting women manipulate you.

6Fs you want to give a fork and spoon for as a man (in no particular order)

1. Family
2. Friends
3. Food
4. Fun
5. Focus
6. Failures

Quote me if you want an explanation

Fun can be fun. Fun can be dangerous. Don't be made fun of in your fun.

Is that his picture on the certificate? FUTA grads, is that how it's done? Nigeria sha

No trust.

tunnyl:
It means a woman will always act childish and will almost always sabotage her relationship regardless of how intelligent and smart she is. In fact the intelligence becomes her curse. It is the job of a man to always direct her and caution her.

Strong men create feminine women

Weak men create masculine women


You sabi woman well. They need leaders in their life. They can do well alone but once you come into their lives, you either step up or sit out because all the blame will be on you. We need to raise more masculine men today because we are seeing the effects of raising a feminine society now. Men are no longer willing to be men again and women are now doing more of men's work but we can't cheat nature. They first came in saying women were cheated, misogyny and all the victimhood but they forgot to ask what will happen if we swapped roles, will women be happier


Women always think Men have it easier on the other side so they claim oppression, men are not allowing them to do this and that. When they finally get what men used to have, they now see that it's not so interesting and it involves a lot of responsibilities. Which woman no want soft life? You are in a position of responsibility, no one cares about your cries. Get the job done. This is whsn they start seeing the dark side of what men go through but bottle up. Then they think they have the solution and tell men to open up, cry, mental health, this and that. Woman matter eh...


No woman wants a feminine man too. Now women are in the driver's seat, it's only the few masculine men that are available that are the price. Know your worth as a man, be a high valued man, such me are scarce. High value is not about money, even though money is important but be a masculine man. Men gravitate towards fathers or father figures, they still have that child in them that needs a father figure. As a man, never leave your driver's seat. E get why.

dawnomike:
This is a family/ex-family matter to worry about... Ayam outta hia!

I beg Sophia, if you love that son of yours, keep this away from social media. Na the boy go suffer pass. The adults in the room can move on easily.

You know what's funny? I thought Nigerians and Nigeria will have sense ever since the Yar Adua debacle, alas, it only got worse.

Why are they so scared of death that they can't treat what they have at home 🤡

I read this from Buffet and ever since, it's been part of my buffet. Kokoro to n jefo (in Bwala's voice)

Not having focus in life (your future) and not thinking about your legacy (what you leave behind).

You'll just be flowing with the wind. Anywhere Belle face.

What annoys me is not the cost of the phone. What annoys me is those who under utilize phones. Whether it's Blackberry Bold, Thuraya, iPhone or Samsung.

Back in the days, a lot of people bought Blackberry only for pinging. They just wanted to feel among. Today, some are buying iPhone for FaceTime. It's their money, let them do whatever they want with it.

Just know that your worth should not be determined by a gadget.

anonimi:
What did he do in three years apart from cancelling Obasanjo railway, 2nd Niger bridge and other infrastructural projects in addition to reversing Obasanjo’s partial subsidy removal?

You didn't mention him reducing the fuel price to 65 naira

Fr33born:
Screenshot this comment.

One day, all those who came together to rig 2023 election including INEC officials will come out to confess.
They will later confess that there was never a glitch. They will confess who truly won the Election.
Truth will always surface no matter how long it's covered.

Even though we all know this truth, they will later confess it with their mouth.

This will happen...

Nothing is new under the sky. Akpabio once gaffed when he was in PDP that they rigged elections.

We've never had a president who played politics more than in governed in the past 20 years. It's shameful.

papyjaypaul:
It's when you have a politician in power you talk about the next election before halftime. It means that kind of person has nothing to offer but politics. They can't govern. They can't lead. Think about it. It mens Tinubu has nothing to show for that it's 2027 that's the hot topic in 2025. Normally, we would be talking about 2 years in office but we are talking about who will defeat him. What a country.

Looking at their physical appearance, Oshiomole and Osinbajo can pass for age mates. But Oshiomole is older than grey haired Prof but is the agemate with Tinubu.
Do your maths.

Go and find something better to do with your time. You're comparing an athlete to a musician and looking for problems. Erling Haaland is 43 years old because Ibrahimovich looks like him and they have the same height

This was how you people destroyed the career of Obafemi Martins when he was 19 just because you suspect he cheated

Nigerians don't know the damage they do to others when they Cho Cho Cho without evidence. GO AND SIT DOWN

Nigerians are classists. Always about the money and what will people say. No self satisfaction. This is why they say we are loud.

papyjaypaul:
Nigerians are living in the bucket and they are crabs. Nigerians like to oppress and show off, do you agree with this theory? Most Nigerians, sorry, not all.

ElSudani:
And the Iranians wouldn't have done anything if they had Netanyahu in their sight?

These people who preach democracy don't see how their demo is crazy. See how they are talking about taking out another country's leader. Without restraint.

Women realize failing backward

Men realize failing forward

Social media has increased the thought of sex among Nigerians.

Wolexy25:
1. Extreme Frugality
- Saving and reusing even small items (e.g., rubber bands, jars, plastic containers).
- Hesitation to throw away food, even if it’s past its prime.
- Wearing clothes/shoes long after they’re worn out.

2. Overpreparing for Meals
- Overeating when food is available (scarcity mindset).
- Hoarding snacks or taking extra portions "just in case."

3. Money Anxiety
- Extreme discomfort with spending, even on necessities.
- Obsessively checking prices or feeling guilty after small purchases.

4. DIY Fixes Over Replacements
- Repairing broken items multiple times instead of buying new ones.
- Using unconventional solutions to avoid spending (e.g., duct tape fixes).

5. Overstocking on Basics
- Buying in bulk when possible (toilet paper, canned goods) due to fear of running out.

6. Avoiding Waste
- Saving leftovers meticulously.
- Drinking water from used cups instead of getting a fresh one.

7. Over-apologizing for Needs
- Saying sorry when asking for help, even for reasonable requests.

8. Hesitation to Splurge on Self
- Feeling guilty when buying something non-essential, even with disposable income.

9. Uncomfortable with Generosity
- Difficulty accepting gifts or favors due to feeling undeserving.

10. Hyperawareness of Prices
- Memorizing the cost of everyday items and noticing small price increases.

These habits often persist even after financial stability is achieved, reflecting deeply ingrained survival strategies from childhood. However, they can also translate into strengths like resilience, creativity, and financial discipline.

1¶ Read bout minimalism, a current trend that is taking over online.

2¶ Overeating is a bad habit and has nothing to do with being poor. Eat what you can and avoid waste. Wasting food is not luxury, it's a sin spiritually and sick thing to do.

3¶ Money problem is everywhere in the world. More money more problems. Why do you think those who have money keep looking for more. Read the book, psychology of money. Abundance of money is not richness.

4¶ DIY is fun. In fact, many Nigerians can't relate until they go to western countries and see the huge cost it cost them to replace things. I disagree with you here. If you are a parent, teach your child how to fix some things, you have to be a functional human being who can at least think to repair. Also some items have emotional value and it's better to use a duct tape than throwing the item away or replacing it because of its sentimental value. One of the things Gulder Ultimate Search taught everyone was how to survive. Don't let urbanization make you useless. Learn stuff and try to fix things.

5¶ Anyone who plans with budget will stock. A rich person will give out of the stock if they see they have too much. A poor person will hoard because they have scarcity mindset which is where I agree with your 2. 2. However, taking stuff just in case is not always hoarding. It's common sense especially when you're on a trip. If I go to a hotel and there is a buffet, I will take the apple for later. Even if I don't eat it there, I still need it later. If you like, call me poor, that's your headache. I respect my stomach enough to know how to space things.

6¶ Do not waste food. Simple

7¶ You must be reading Machiavellian handouts or those social media posts who are on a high saying you don't need to apologize. They teach you how to rephrase things. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Being respectful to people is not weakness, it's a sense of intelligence, respect and proper behavior. No one likes a bully, whether you are overt about it or covert.

8¶ I agree slightly

9¶ You know what's funny? I just read about one of these old school kings who never collected gifts. Some people have it as a principle never to be a recipient of charity. What about that

10¶ It's your money. If you want to, waste it, if you want to, manage it.

free2ryhme:
Nigerians are very classist. There’s so much classism in our society today and this is driving unhealthy conversation and clout chasing

I didn't see this comment before I made mine.

The classism stinks to low hell. Nigerians think they are enjoying life, they are only slaves to money and material things.

papyjaypaul:
Nigerians are living in the bucket and they are crabs. Nigerians like to oppress and show off, do you agree with this theory? Most Nigerians, sorry, not all.

Nigeria is a poor country but we are pretending to look for poor people behavior. What a great joke.

Nigerians are bloody classists.

BeginsAtHome:
That's Dakkada Towers built with state money not Akpabio's.

The argument is, if the state has this kind of structure, why rent Akpabio's private property for the SSDC's HQ

Because these people can't make money without touching public funds.
