Bloghomies:
I'm fond of writing long epistles, only because the ideas that flows through my brain can be somewhat overwhelming.

In that case, I'm going to try and make this article short and to the point. That way, I don't lose your attention.

Now you're asking, how is social media ruining my life?

You probably have Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. installed on your phone. Who doesn't?

Ask yourself, "How much time do I spend using these apps every day?"

When you're arguing with some strange online warriors, posting and watching tons of videos and memes, do you know how fast time fly?

Of course you don't, cause these platforms were created to be addictive.

If you're not using these online platforms as a tool, chances are you're using it to activate your dopamine.

It's stronger than meth, cocaine, heroin...It's like a drug you might never overcome!

Right now, you're alone. Perhaps lying on your bed. If I'm to go through your minimized apps right now, I'm certain I'll see these social media apps.

Oh.. A message just came in that you're about to check, right?

Ahhhh...!

When was the last time you slept early? Better put this way, when was the last time your phone took a one hour break, without you touching it?

Probably when you're sleeping!

You're so bored, with a very short attention span that sometimes, you find yourself depressed.

You're probably looking for reasons to close this thread, cause it's so boring! Oh yes! Your dophamine level is now getting low and its frightening.

Social media is killing you! You know it, but you're too weak to do something about it.

Every minute you're checking your messages, your notifications.

You want to know if that picture has gotten enough likes, or if that online warrior has replied to your comment.

While you're busy brushing up your social media lifestyle, your skill, talent, and career are dying.

How am i so dead accurate? Because I've been there.

You either use it, or it uses you. Do you know that the creators of these social media apps don't even use their apps?

They don't even allow their children to use it. They know the truth, how addictive it can be even to the most discipline.

I learned the hard way, and the enlightenment changed my life.

When I removed these social apps from my phone, I felt free. I felt happier! I was more productive, and richer.

Oh! I said this was going to be a short article, but look how far you've gone. For the first time, you are paying attention!

In that case, I am here to share my experience, and to help you overcome this addiction that's about to ruin your life, just like it nearly ruined mine.

This purpose of this thread is to help, cause this is a pandemic that the world isn't tackling. I have nothing to lose or gain creating this thread, but you have everything do gain.

Apologies for any grammar error or misspelling.. This isn't an English class, but an enlightening class that will change your mind.

I'm quite sure you mean well for people. Kudos.

Nice thread

Most rapists are poor dirty guys, lends credence to his assertion

This govt. is wicked on every count.

Listen to the second dream, it is a bad omen. I hope you will listen.

Nice

Very good thread

Nice

Anuoluwa1234:
Thanks

You are welcome.

stanliwise:
I simply saw nothing too wrong here except that she lied to you about loving you. You both were in a contract where you are the money machine and in turn you buy her attention. Your friends advise is top notch.
I always advise guy to stop giving girls money just because they are dating. You only give people money when it is necessary and on few cases as a surprise.
You also have a blame on the relationship too as you were trying to buy her attention, lesson to learn, when looking out for someone that loves you, keep everything away except yourself and if the person still accept you then maybe the people truely love you.
Spend for people that show loyalty and trust towards you in other words, this people can do exact same thing if they were in your shoes.

Nice one

Anuoluwa1234:
I didn't abuse anyone, it was the guy who insulted me.. and I didn't insult back, cuz am more than that

I'm impressed by this girl. Very mature.

bizhop01:
Mention one politician or political analyst in nigeria that study political science

help me ask him, most people think you study polisci to become a politician, hence they think you are wasting your time.

Rajosh:
CRK, Philosophy, Pol.science

Your head like Pol. Science, tell me why polisci should be in your list first.

In my childhood days, I used to hammer that it that I would love to be a pilot. When I grew up and reality smiled at me I switched interest to petroleum engineering or biochemistry. But now I'm a certified political scientist.

So what was your dream profession in your childhood days?

Softapplez:
Happy birthday to the king of football.

Lionel messi has not only being an inspiration, he is now the gold standard.

A man we can use as role model for our children.
A man we can tell stories on.

Lionel Messi made us realise that with GOD all things are possible.

He made us to know that you can be the best in the world and still be humble.

He made us realised that humility, respect and the love of GOD will take us far in life.

LIONEL MESSI made us to realise that you can stay and love one woman for the rest of your life and that you don't need to many girlfriends to become the best.

He made us to believe that we can be better husbands to our wife, and that men Indeed can be faithful to one woman.

He made us to believe with his goal celebration, that in all things, give glory to GOD.

HE made us to believe the page of the Bible that says, if a man is diligent in his works, he will eat before Kings of the earth.

Even former president of the United States of America, Barack Obama said and i quote:
I am the LIONEL MESSI of politics.

Even the pope of Catholic has many praises for LIONEL MESSI.

Presidents have invited him to their countries.

Kings and queens of the earth all adores him.

LIONEL MESSI is one of a kind.

You have made me to dream big and believe in GOD and myself.

Happy birthday my king.

by the order of the Peaky blinders.

If Lionel Messi represents all these, the I think I love him.

sapientia:
What was he expecting?

He could have become a source to news outlet instead of risking his neck

Mmmmm

Observing

Don't look at anyone's face when your conscience is clear about what you want to do. But if your conscience is not clear, I no dey with you pls.

Righteousness89:
@ bolden.. My Guiding principles!

Let me add these

-Don't always follow the Multitude... Majority are not always right..

- Stand for the truth, irrespective of whose OX is gored

- I am Useless without GOD Almighty

- GOD ALMIGHTY is not Committed to where He didn't send you! Operate by Divine Leading/Direction

- be very careful with your Tongue! It could destroy and it could build you!

- Life is not by Struggle! It is a Gift From God! If God does not Give , you will not get! and if you go ahead to get it without Him, it ends in Tears and pains..

- Flee Fornication; Life will be much more Stressless..

- Listen to your wife, don't just bullshit wat she says! In every thing you call Nonsense, there is a sense!

- Strive to Please GOD ALMIGHTY First and your Conscience next! Every other person will fall where they belong

these are nice.

Rozz:
Some ladies will not listen, not all men that approach you likes you, most are just after your body but it's painful how some ladies do get easily played by these randy men with herbally energized organs looking for people's daughter to devour, very painful.

not all men that approach a lady likes her, Rozz I love you for this.

Well said. God bless you mightily.

Let me learn.

Samzzy94:
Haven't you seen where the groom is told to bring ridiculous amount of money as bride price??...Even the Lady cannot do anything about it, they would tell you it is the tradition and it must be done.

So anybody use rope to tie the man to do such? Abi it is only their daughter(s) you must love/marry?

Samzzy94:
Well I understand you, but the thing is that, this country is making it hard for young men to become financially stable. Even if as a young man, you decide to take the risk of getting married when you are not really financially buoyant, the cost of the wedding alone will scare you off...

Which religion/legal system says a wedding most be elaborate? Have you not heard that wedding is just a day and marriage is forever, which we should prepare for instead of preparing for that one day ceremony called wedding. Cut your coat according to your cloth. Simple.
More so this is not even the central argument of this thread, but it good it came up too.

Tadeknkeepcalm:
Bravo! One extremism always births another. Misogyny birthed feminism and feminism birthed MTGOW/redpillers. All are enemies of the family unit, and if the family unit is wrong the society will inevitably go wrong.
This generation seems to have devolved in to this "me vs you" mindset and the smallest of differences is enough to cause major disregard for anything other than you.
What you have said is 100% true. But how do you explain this to a group of people who do not believe in gender roles, Heck! They do not believe in gender (it's a social construct they say).
Sometimes, when I read what people say online I feel completely alienated and I have realized there are quite a lot of people like me. But the truth has become such a shameful thing to say and falsehood thrives.

God bless you sir. Wonderful contribution. It is easy to know that this didn't come from a secondary school student . This is a real life issue, the family is the building block of the society which we should not fold our hands and watch it fail persistently. As if to say, you knew my deepest motivation for this thread.

Olawrites:
comot jor.. not true.. you ladies are gold diggers

This thread does not claim ignorance of the fact that some girls are opportunistic too, and they do so in the most heartbreaking way, trust me I know. But the issue is that not all of them are like that. In essence, let us try to see some other 'genuine' grounds why they do the things they do, yes sometimes there are genuine reasons. So before you start saying, I will strike back, think on the issues raised in this thread.

Louder please.
If only they know how ladies turn down many other men because of LOVE and loyalty. Men should stop being selfish please.
Sometimes, we need to open people's eyes, so that they can see what they are not seeing, and realize what they fail to realize. Simple.
