DrAda:True that. Indeed, when the Nigerian-American, Dr. Julius Oni left his job at the Johns Hopkin University as a musculo-skeletal specialist in the United States and moved back to Nigeria a few months ago in 2024 after 25 years of living in the U.S., some posters online said he was "mad" for doing so. But this is a self-aware guy who already has real estate investments in Nigeria and took that conscious decision to move over to Nigeria with the full support of his wife to start his own specialist medical facility after selling his house in the United States. He still maintains professional ties with Johns Hopkin though. I follow the brilliant Julius Oni (who is originally a native of Ile-Oluji in Ondo State and still in his 40s) on Instagram and the original video he posted on IG including subsequent videos went absolutely viral. Since then, he has had a lot of media engagements from media outlets who interviewed him and that gave him massive publicity and clients. I was on a YouTube channel of one of the top media brands with over 1 million subscribers and another U.S.-based doctor of Nigerian descent posted a comment on the channel stating that he has been inspired by Dr. Julius Oni's "Reverse Japa" story and he too was already planning to give back to Nigeria by setting up a specialist medical facility in Nigeria. That's the power of putting yourself out there and telling a POWERFUL story that would be of benefit for all. |

Is not good to postbur achievements online nd make it urblife too public .here are the reasons 1)social media try to brainwash u to start acting like a celebrity when u not .ur followers are NT ur fans why because u not a celebrity.they bulk of strangers you DNT give a Bleep about u 2) it can cause offence sometimes let me give an example u take pic of ur 1st time entering plane ur friends think u are rich now .but the air fare was paid for is a sponsored trip.onebof ur very good sch mates who help u both financially nd emotional in sch dad is hospitalised and he or she is asking u for financial help nd you say u DNT have .ur friend wouldn't believe u because ur post say different. 3) when u post it success online like showing off ur mansion or luxury cars ,vacation island trips when u struggling financial like a decade later nobody will come to ur aid unless u help them during the time u were doing well Lastly it create jealousy sometimes |

Ogaonos:Even if you help them as you said in number 3 It doesn’t still guarantee them helping you Infact 80% won’t help you Normally it’s people who show off massively on social media easily get depressed when the cash stop coming in and most are pushed to do vices to Keep up When you are on lowkey grinding and eating You have no body to impress Life is better |

DissTroy:I see. Could this be as a result of becoming more mature, as you age? Though I know you've never been the type who jump in bed with any bimbo, unlike me, back in the day. I now find such girls who post everything on social media repulsive, like I've come to know, they hardly can keep any secret and are always battle ready, the more reason I took a cue from you, when you once said you make it a habit of blocking all your exes, I follow suit and boy, do I have peace. Seducing any Nigerian woman to me is something I don't even bother doing, unless there's that attraction, if it's not there, I don't even bother, even if I know I just want to hit the coochie, I still don't bother because the idea of chasing someone that is empty, is torture to me. Bottom line, if she's not interested, I don't even bother. |

Samantha125:You should be careful. From your take, you're not Nigerian and you don't reside in Nigeria. Over here, we don't leave our drinks around with friends, talkless of strangers, we take it along with us, some even take it to the restroom with them. Take in from this experience and learn never to leave your drink lying around... I hope you get justice. Cheers and get stronger soonest. 🥂👍🙏 |

joseph1832:For those who don't talk/share much, but are "good listeners"? Yes it's a sin. They're usually cunning. |

Post achievements on social media? Not really a social media person (except we count Nairaland as one. Lol) My social media handles are very DRY. I don't post on Facebook (not used that platform for years), I'm not on TikTok, my Instagram is on private mode (just for me to like pictures and remind myself to make money to afford the luxury lifestyle I want for myself), Twitter is for liking and retweeting, I don't share my thoughts there. And there's WhatsApp, where I post funny memes and videos to "entertain" myself and contacts. I also post events where I partake in or videos of myself (not in real time though). The platform is cruise for me. My private life is private. I don't even post achievements on LinkedIn (save for 2022 when I became a Lawyer and just had to put it out there). I could literally be in the hospital bed dying and still post memes because Meme is King. ![]() |

Mariangeles:being cunning doesn't usually have anything to do with being a good listener. It's just life, some like to talk, too much I might add, others don't and others talk moderate. The ones who I might say are cunning are the ones who are monitoring spirits... I mean, there's a reason why they view your status Everytime and follow you all around social media. |

purples25:This makes me smile. I like your open mindedness. My advise, you need to use those little time to work on yourself, particularly take your spiritual life seriously. Let your success announce you to the world rather than you painting pictures of them yourself to the world. When you post personal achievements to the public you create unhealthy competition inside of you particularly if those in your contact are far ahead of you. On the flip side, your contact can have that as grounds to hate you, as many might feel you own them and may assume this not need to be told to you. As a result , you add more to the number of enemies. It's not until some people go to the herbalist before they attack you spiritually. Their thoughts alone can consume your energy and make things to start working in ways you never expected in your life. I seldomly post articles on my LinkedIn because I love to and it's needed to boost my professional personality. But I don't post about the latest jobs offers I won. In fact, I got a good job this year and I never updated my LinkedIn profile accordingly. I know for a fact that if it was some people, they would paint the whole places red. I know a few friends who are doing way better but they don't post a thing on their socials yet we role. It changes nothing really but just to prevent one from adding more to the existing numbers of enemies we have got, I think the wisest thing to do is to keep working on oneself and ignore social legitimacy. You never know who's lurking around to hurt you or would feel damaged from the posts showcasing your landslide achievements. It's another situation entirely if it's the organization you work with was the one that posts about your achievements. Or you were part of a global submit and your pictures ended up being posted by such organization. That's normal and at least people won't take that to mean you're bragging or making them feel less. |

joseph1832:I think it's mostly the kind of women I am attracted to. I have a thing for women who find pleasure in the arts. The brainy writers who love to consume books too and read wide. She could be a techie or accountant or engineer or lawyer but she has to love reading and writing too, even as a hobbyist. Like discussing random details of barnacles on whales and why British English is better than the American version. Mundane or serious but intelligent. From my experience, women like that are more introspective because reading and writing make you so. If she's more introspective, she's comfortable in her own space and would over think anything she's putting out publicly. It also means she thinks through the effect of a scandal or controversy. She's all woman and emotional and pissed off with me but she keeps it under wraps publicly. I've never ever regretted knowing and being with such women. I've only been attracted to only certain kind of women. Of course, they have to look good too. The beautiful reserved girl is a million times likely to pull my heart strings than some loud popular girl who always wants to be the center of attention. You'd remember I disliked and taunted the seemingly popular females men used to throw themselves at on Nairaland who were bimbos. I couldn't understand the atraction to dumb attention-seeking women. I still don't. |

Nah! No one gives a shit about a madman. It is always better to make the world believe you are insane while you build your empire in silence. The days are extremely evil and we must be cautious. |

DissTroy:It's simple, to smash the coochie, nothing more, nothing less. Such women happen to be the easiest to smash, it was like this way back the 2015 days on Nairaland, I mean, you're witness to many of the scandals and revelations. I don't need to tell you many of those seemingly popular females on Nairaland back then, were smashed the way Serena Williams smash the tennis ball. Though I've come to know those women who seek validation and like to be the centre of attention and attraction, seem to suffer from some form of low self esteem, and many are such fragile creatures... |

joseph1832:That's the point. While I avoid women who play overly hard-to-get, bedding a woman who has standards (not those fake hookup girls standards, but actual ones) is cool. I'm not ashamed to admit the slow seduction of her mind is just as satisfying as what comes after. You know, that thing where she's so into you, she actually shelves her inhibitions to tell you she wants you and wants to be with you when you haven't spent a Kobo on her yet and she means it, yeah. I love the slow seduction where she actually cares beyond sex. It means she carries a part of you in her heart. You have a hold on her stronger than the physical satisfaction of sex. If she's easy to get by anybody just by showing her attention or the promise of cash, it's a turn off. It's why I abhôr the idea of paying for sex. It's not for religious reasons - I'm barely religious. It's the thrill of offering herself to you with nothing guaranteed other than her being able to get your time. The seduction make the actual sex worth it more. Seduction of the mind lasts longer (for years) than how she feels during sex. It's why a hookup girl would cause a scene with some random guy she slept with but take that guy she really likes on a random date. |

joseph1832:Man, I don't chase. But if she's smart and reserved, sometimes the banter is good too. Think of this, you both finished tumbling beneath the sheets, and you're asking her to test scroll through a web app you have built as a beta tester or arguing the validity of Dan Brown's claims in "Da Vinci Code". Both of you still in your birthday suits. The effects of sex is actually amplified by the events leading up to it and after it. I'd also admit because of my conditions for intimacy, it limits the kind of women available in the pool to pick from. Funny this, you could have 200 and I could 40 but I feel like the experiences with the 40 outweigh 200 banal females. Anatomy wise, women aren't really different. Most just lie back during the process while you exert yourself. But if she's worth it, she'd still be worth it after post-nut clarity. Those are the kind of women I've always liked - the ones I won't resent even after having sex for the umpteenth time. Those girls are available. Find them, man. Life is about the full human experience and memories, right? Even just two days could memorable for decades when it's not just some happy-go-lucky attention seeker. |

Gerrard59:I am too non-chalant to be bothered by such. Just like you I look forward to them and I save for when I want to explore same destination or place. Majority of Nigerians are still broke anyway. So I really do not see how it always translates to riches or happiness. They have still not made the money or found love. Highest you cry in private and no one knows you saw shege or went through a financial loss. IMO, four reasons:It is bad belle. Not any COVID. Way back it wasn't just new japarians creating threads - the oldies had personal threads they updated with their life. The new ones didn't wait to settle down. They updated us as soon as they were cleared at the POE. By the way, your other post is profound. That is what keeps any form of jealousy at bay. Because some policing is just disguised bitterness given that majority are not averse to posting of bad news or negative achievements. |

Basiljoe:Build your professional brand using LinkedIn & YouTube. Enjoy your privacy on Facebook and Instagram by making your settings private. People would have to request your permission before they can follow you on both Apps. That's what I do. Instagram is for a very close circle of family & friends no more than 200 in number. |
