You even have time creating the thread for them. Like I always say “we’re watching”. Reality can’t be escaped and they’ll all come to terms with this harsh reality like those that came before them did, they like it or not. Men do well by accepting reality for what it is, women don’t, they’re very delusional and live in bubbles until reality sets in. When it starts to happen, most will deactivate their NL profiles to save face. For now, let them keep capping and bragging 😆

1. These two things don't compare in any way at all given that virginity once lost can never be regained. However, poor men or women can raise themselves from the shackles of poverty through much effort, so it makes sense for a broke girl to desire a non-broke man, and for a broke man to desire a non-broke woman. undecided

I'm very intentional with what I say or write.
Do you agree Yahoo boys and every criminal out there is referred to as rich first before they are discredited for indulging in social vices?

Society will always pick rich criminals over decent men.
I do not support whatever they are doing, but in the context of women not wanting to build with broke men . They are all part of the larger community ( rich men/broke men)
Society will always pick rich criminals over decent men. That's word on marble.

Wrong!

There's acute poverty in countries like Nigeria, where poor people's only concern is getting married and breeding like rats.

I would strerilize half the population if I could. Most of you don't even deserve to pass on your genes.

If you are poor, don't get married! If you insist, use a damn condom everytime you have sex. We don't need any more poor children of poor parents!

Hope this apply to women too? If you are a broke woman, don't get married too.

My brodaaa and do you know the funniest thing about being poor? You would be tagged Lazy no matter how hardworking you are.
It is a crazy society and if happens in every sector of life though more pronounce with finance.
Just the way no matter how a student reads, do overnight reading without sleeping, solves past questions, goes for tutorials, if he/she doesn't pass but fails, that person would be automatically tagged as Olodo, unserious and lazy student.
Society doesn't even care to know our weakness and strong skills or talent we have.
Provided you fail in whatever you do, you are termed a Failure, Lazy and Useless

Over 40 percent of the population live below the poverty line. How many are well to do? Extremely few. Even with steady incomes, they are still struggling.

Must they get married? Can't a man say, "I'm poor, I shouldn't bring children into this world to suffer"? If he hustles and makes it, then he gets married and have kids... If he doesn't, then he's done himself and the society a favour. Same goes for women, but they still have the option of marrying rich men. So let them battle for the man who can atleast feed himself, whoever wins gets married and impregnated. Who doesn't stays single.

Isn't that ideal?

Lemme ask you, was your dad rich when he married your mum?
Are your brothers rich when they married?

If no, are you saying your dad shouldn't have gotten married?

Of course virginity and riches cannot be compared.

Because every woman is born a virgin all she has to do is keep it for her husband

But not all men are born rich...... Most Men toil to acquire riches.

Between what you got free from birth and what you struggled to acquire over years which one is easier ?

Says who? Wealth is created my brother. If the economy is shit, that tells you to a large extent the kind of people in such economy. Okay let me come open and say it. A bad economy shows you that most people in that country are not productive, being productive means bringing needed solutions that's relevant globally, in this context.

So in essence telling a guy or lady not to settle for less is not demanding what doesn't exist, rather we're saying create your own fortune, which is a possibility any day one decides and is willing to do what it takes properly.

Wealth can not be created without opportunity.

The economy is in the hands of those that control the means of production and capital. The nigerian people have neither.

The people can not be productive in an incondusive enviroment. Developed countries have the highest amount of wealthy people because they are already developed and have the capacity to create wealth.

The economy makes the people not vice versa.

The government, upper classes and capitalists are not the people and do not represent them or their best interest. And so the nigerian economy is not geared to benefit the nigerian people.

Businesses in developed countries are heavily subsidized. Their goverments frequently bail them out of financial crises. A lot of foreign companies would have collapsed with out goverment intervention through out the years

Thank you for saying this. No amount of hard work can help a poor man over come a bad economy and lack of massive capital. If it is by hard work generational poverty wouldn't exist yet every poor man had a poor father and a poorer grandfather and will have poor kids.

Since you assumed that your forefathers did not get virgins and were victims of paternity fraud.....

You can as well as know that your forefathers did not singlehandedly provide for the families.... That your mothers worked hard in the farm and sell the farm produce in the market to provide for their families.

No matter how you twist it ...... A man has the right to decide not to marry a non virgin girl same way you girls have the right to reject broke men...

It is crystal clear that alot of you men wear the lens of "reality " scanning women choices. But wear the lens of "hope" when scanning men choices.

Everybody will settle,both men and women,tell everyone the truth.

If men can openly rant on how they will marry only chaste women,or childless or young women while getting applause,why can't women rant on marrying comfortable men without being told their choices are unrealistic?



As for you the op,so you has to wail as a clapback .lol. groan, cry, and mourn,there is nothing you can do about women hypergamy...sadly.Whether you scheme revenge on them or whatnot,there is nothing you can do about it.

Correct wealth is a product of opportunity, then it's safe to ask, what's the product of opportunity? Opportunity lies in the individuals ability to see what's needed, it doesn't lie with the government or parents or country. Now one can be encouraged by country (government) or individuals to see opportunities, however if that opportunity will benefit that person, he has to put in the work or pay for the work required to make that opportunity profitable. So you see my friend, the people makes the economy.

Yes people should thrive in a conducive environment, that's where the government comes in to act in the best interest of people, sadly this where our dear country has failed, however it will interest you to know that when it comes to capital and production, the government don't call the shots, they only provide enabling environment for entrepreneurs to make such available, the private sector is what drives productivity not necessarily the government. The question I keep asking is that Dangote, Matthew Ashimolowo, Mike Adenuga, Jim Ovia are all living in Nigeria and living under same condition as all Nigerians, some of these names I mentioned started from nothing yet mike is a captain in telecoms and Matthew a captain in real estate, these guys started from almost nothing yet stupendously wealthy.

What makes the difference have you asked? They decided to see opportunity in same place where other's are complaining and made a living out of it.

Now I'm not being oblivious to the fact that government needs to make the enabling environment this is why the people put them there in the case of democracy but studying countries like the USA and Singapore have shown that, individuals can bring a nation out of poverty in the case of USA (Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Henry Ford) this is private sector driven and what they did to checkmate these tycoons is to put laws in place which they must respect, hence the society grew, because the laws were meant to bring progress, however in the case of Singapore the government sort out external help to build local industries hence the country grew. To your point government certainly has a role to play, again the individuals are the determining factor if government policies will work or not.

Very few businesses are heavily subsidized in developed places and bail out are only given to critical sector's occasionally. Most times businesses lives by themselves.

Reality is a two way thing. Men and women will settle. The non virgins,baby mamas, evening newspapers you have ran campaign against will still get married in the end. Is that not reality to?

Oh darling, you're such a champion of fairness. I'm not sure if this is the first time you read my comment, but I'm way more harsher to men, compare to women. I yab men so much, that I'm sure I'll be visited with a cutlass if some know my house.

But men by nature don't have a softener that soften the harsh reality of life on them, so they accept truth better. My DM is filled with literally hundreds upon hundreds of messages from men who said they've picked their life together base on what I've been writing here for years.

But for women? You guys are so delusional and over-sheltered, that advices are always analysed through emotions instead of truism. If the advice is not sweet, you hate it. Advices are seen as attack, misogyny, and any new woke term they've learnt. But that's not my problem. If the truth will kill anyone, I say, let them die.

Oya one quick assignment for you. Go through my previous comment, just the past seven days, if you didn't see any comment of me telling men to get their act together and stop being miserable, I go dash you 100k right now.

So maybe you can stop being bias and stop seeing me as an enemy. I'm not. I love women. It is a woman's love (my mother and girls I've dated) that made my life awesome. It's a woman that even rescued me a lot of times when men failed.

To love someone is not to Ignore their misdeeds because they will be angry when you tell them the truth, that's not love. Love is like a surgeon performing a surgery, it hurts, but it heals. If the truth is harsh in you, reality won't be. The world will break you, so stop being soft.

All these would have been correct if the average nigerian had capital. He does not. All your ideas mean nothing if you don't have money to actualise it, a customer base to sell it to, TIME to work on it and the ability to beat the competition. Besides, ideas are limited. I doubt if you've ever had an original idea , this is not meant to be an insult.

The nigerian industrialists you mention all started in a more favourable climate and at a time of high undevelopment in nigeria. They cashed in and had the opportunity to establish monopolies and act free of relative competition.

Most importantly the people you site both nigerian and foreign we're born into some form of wealth and influence. Wealth begets wealth. Going from rich to poor is largely a myth.

No individual can bring a country out of poverty. That's a bloody lie. The vast majority of people are and will always be workers. If they weren't then who would work for the industrialist?

The people can not make the economy they adapt to it.

You're country is your destination. What commands your destiny is often outside your control. People react to life they don't act on it. You can only do so much with what you have and nigerians barely have anything.

How in gods good name can someone that lives hand to mouth define his economy when he doesn't even contribute anything to it. Poverty is very expensive.

Opportunity lies in the individuals ability to see what's needed, it doesn't lie with the government or parents or country. Now one can be encouraged by country (government) or individuals to see opportunities, however if that opportunity will benefit that person, he has to put in the work or pay for the work required to make that opportunity profitable. So you see my friend, the people makes the economy.

Yes people should thrive in a conducive environment, that's where the government comes in to act in the best interest of people, sadly this where our dear country has failed, however it will interest you to know that when it comes to capital and production, the government don't call the shots, they only provide enabling environment for entrepreneurs to make such available, the private sector is what drives productivity not necessarily the government. The question I keep asking is that Dangote, Matthew Ashimolowo, Mike Adenuga, Jim Ovia are all living in Nigeria and living under same condition as all Nigerians, some of these names I mentioned started from nothing yet mike is a captain in telecoms and Matthew a captain in real estate, these guys started from almost nothing yet stupendously wealthy.

What makes the difference have you asked? They decided to see opportunity in same place where other's are complaining and made a living out of it.

Now I'm not being oblivious to the fact that government needs to make the enabling environment this is why the people put them there in the case of democracy but studying countries like the USA and Singapore have shown that, individuals can bring a nation out of poverty in the case of USA (Vanderbilt, Carnegie, Rockefeller, Morgan, Henry Ford) this is private sector driven and what they did to checkmate these tycoons is to put laws in place which they must respect, hence the society grew, because the laws were meant to bring progress, however in the case of Singapore the government sort out external help to build local industries hence the country grew. To your point government certainly has a role to play, again the individuals are the determining factor if government policies will work or not.

Your segmentation of the people, assumes that there are the rich up there and the poor down there, hence the rich doesn't represent the poor, my brother leave that thing abeg. To a large extent people create thier destinies.

Very few businesses are heavily subsidized in developed places and bail out are only given to critical sector's occasionally. Most times businesses lives by themselves.

On singapore.

There are many factors that justify the sky rocketing development of Singapore. The Economist identifies three main factors:

The strategic location of the island, just suspended in the Malacca Strait that guarantees the control on 40% of trading passes.
The friendly policies adopted by the government towards foreign investments.
An efficient and “honest” government.

Close link between economic growth and political stability
The history of Singapore is a clear example of the close link between economic growth and political stability. In fact, after the independence of Singapore in 1965, the first Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew was able to give to the new born Republic of Singapore the stability needed in 1969. The island's stability comes from the fact that its legal system is “clear, secure and efficient”. In legal terms, this implies that the consequences attached to the laws are predictable for everyone (clear), the law does not constantly change but it is rather reliable (secure) and it is enforced all the time (efficient). These three key elements generate the required stability that attract investors. Indeed, investors are by their own nature risk-averse. They do not like when the rules of the game are unclear, mutable and enforced depending of the discretion of someone. Therefore, they very much like Singapore.

You're country is your destination. What commands your destiny is often outside your control. People react to life they don't act on it. You can only do so much with what you have and nigerians barely have anything.

All these would have been correct if the average nigerian had capital. He does not. All your ideas mean nothing if you don't have money to actualise it and a customer base to sell it to.

The nigerian industrialists you mention all started in a more favourable climate and at a time of high undevelopment in nigeria. They cashed in and had the opportunity to establish monopolies and act free of relative competition.

Most importantly the people you site both nigerian and foreign we're born into some form of wealth and influence. Wealth begets wealth. Going from rich to poor is largely a myth.

No individual can bring a country out of poverty. That's a bloody lie. The vast majority of people are and will always be workers. If they weren't then who would work for the industrialist?

The people can not make the economy they adapt to it.

@Mekuseh11

Poverty is a reflection of your own inadequacies in thinking, discipline and implementation, you can change that when you decide to become better. The issue of marriage is a different ball game all together, a person who decides to marry a poor person who isn't lazy and is willing to learn, hasn't really married a poor person with time that will change, but a person who marries a lazy poor person is in trouble, this is what should be emphasized, so also if you marry a rich lazy person, money fit run dry. Cheers

Not true.

The best chance of being a millionaire is by being born into a family that has millions. This has been the case for ages. Those who have are more likely to get more until a treshold is reached. Yes, we like to celebrate those who went from grass to the top. We forget these are rare outliers.

Ideas are cheap, very cheap. Everybody has one. Warren Buffet said the main reason he was a billionaire was because he was born in America, and born in a time when knowledge of modern finance was a treasured asset.

Point is most of the reason why alot of Nigerians are poor is no fault of theirs. Over the last 10yrs, many have been pushed into poverty irrespective of their effors simply because running the economy are doing a bad job.
