Foreign Affairs / Re: Zulu King Condemns Xenophobia On His 50th Birthday (PICS) by Sepukku: 11:10pm
themanderon:
Wenawe Ndlovu. Bayeti Nkosi. Please tell your subjects and I hope they listen. They need a lesson in history to know that Bantus who were they ancestors were migrants from west Africa.

They don't care about migration. Even the Zimbabweans, mozambicans and malawians that are practically their blood kins they discriminate against talk less all the way from West Africa.

Don't hold your breath.

I didn't see any bank on that picture, all i see is a piece of paper that says "we speak your language" that doesn't prove a forking thing.

Travel / Re: Air Peace Plane Windshield Breaks In Abuja by OALandAgents: 10:29pm
Malicious reporting to discredit Airpeace. Windscreen never shattered but allegedly by the reporters own words developed a crack.
Reporter is probably on payroll of foreign airlines who have not forgiven Airpeace for crashing prices of flight tickets to London UK.
I mean there are no way passengers can even know that a plane's windscreen shattered talk less of a mere crack .

Yes jagaban has a right to aspire to be president and get it.....he was the most prepared of the 3 and we would always respect him for that.....obi didn't steal money,take a listen and hear yourself, you are blind to his infractions because he is your kinsman but would magnify that of others because they aren't.......

What legacies of obi still exists in Anambra and still being sustained by subsequent govts.

What legacy project did obi build in Anambra that still stands

What blue print did obi have for the development of Anambra that is worth implementing.

Obi who is now claiming to be the champion of democracy,why wasn't he able to conduct LG elections in his 8 yes as gov.

How many schools did he build.

How many investments was he able to bring to Anambra during his time.

Why isn't he living in Anambra with his children if he made Anambra the Dubai of Africa as he is claiming to do for Nigeria.

Romance / Re: I'm Too Soft Hearted, How Can I Become Very Wicked by kkins25(m): 9:28pm
Meaning:
Hi guys, I notice one thing about me.
I'm too emotional for a man. I'm too soft hearted. I don't want bad things to happen to anyone.
But recently, I realized that people are taking advantage of that and I'm tired.

Please can someone teach me the act of wickedness thru manipulation?

The way you destroy people but act like you are their help. That kind of manipulative destruction.

Any help please.
Some evening time, around 2015, I was walking along Ahmadu Bello Way, just in front of a Samsung appliance shop and opposite the Anglican or, rather, the catholic church. I had closed from the university and headed home---my parents didn't allow me to board a hostel or rent an apartment. So, it was a daily routine.

I happen to have an approachable face. You know that kind of face you see when you're looking to ask someone for direction and go "Ah-ha, this guy fit help me." Unfortunately, It's the same approachable face that made two lazy girls burden me with their assignment on the very second day of university resumption. I will gist you later.

As I walked, I caught the eyes of an elderly short woman who stood a few meters ahead of me. I felt a bit strange and quickly anticipated being asked for money. It was obvious she had spotted the right target. Standing behind the elderly woman was a young girl, probably 13-16 years old. I suspected her granddaughter, but it could be her daughter.

My instincts were right on the money! She spoke Yoruba. Only God knows how she detected I was a Yoruba boy too, or that was the only language she spoke. Although, I didn't speak much. Just mumbles. From what I gathered, she had gotten stranded at that place and was supposed to be headed to another city---a place I hadn't heard of before. But, as per Northerner, once you hear "Ungwan," you know it exists. haha.

She asked me to help her with "something" for TP. I normally give out what I can spare, so I dipped my head down to check how much I had in my breast pocket. 500+ Naira. I had money to spare. However, there was a little issue. I didn't have change. Instead of giving her what I could afford, I ended up giving her 500 Naira, a day's worth of transport---to-and-fro---plus feeding! I had already handed the money to her before realizing I didn't even have enough to get me home (Why the fvck didn't I just give her the change and keep the 500 bucks still marvels me today).

I lived in another city about 45 45-minute drive (without go-slow) from my university. For the next few days, I was trekking back from school to that same place where I met the woman because I no longer had enough money. talk about a self-sacrificing lamb.

The Kindness Conundrum: Kind Guy or Nice Guy?

I learned something about this conundrum some time ago. Why do I call this a conundrum? There are two kinds of people pleasers. The first kind is the Kind Guy. The second type of people pleaser is the Mr Nice Guy.

Kind Guy: often the good type of people pleasers, they find some form of fulfillment in helping people around them. They are the good kind of people pleasers because they usually don't seek any form of reciprocity from those they help. That is, they give purely out of good intentions, at least, from the perspective of the observer.

Mr Nice Guy: This guy is often mistaken for the "kind guy." The reality is, that being nice to others is a facade. A mask they wear to hide their intentions. A typical nice guy will dash you a gift, but could ask for the gift back when both of you disagree. They are the "destiny helpers' who offer to help ladies and ask ladies to spread their legs in return. Their type of kindness is purely transactional. Scratch my back, I scratch yours. Alot of Doctors, lecturers, police officers, and people who hold positions of status often display this threat (my observations, anyway). I find it is dominated by men.

Given their differences, both can share a common trait. That is, their people-pleasing tendencies arise due to one insecurity or the other. Both may be looking for recognition or appearing to look good before others. In other words, they want some form of validation from society. Say, they are in some form of existential crisis. This is more so for the nice guy than it is for the kind person. For the kind person, it may be just one of his self-righteous repertoire, "I'm better than the rest." Or, it could be the delusion that giving will incur some form of blessing from another. Or, it could be a mix of all...

To address your concern, you must first understand your motives for trying to please people. Trace back to your childhood days, did your parents or those around you make you feel less of a human or inadequate or incompetent? These are usually the culprits as it's true for me too.

1) Why are you being "nice"? Begging for attention? need validation? Boost your ego?
If so, then there's a much deeper issue to address. I'm afraid it's one where you, yourself, must validate and understand your self-worth. Otherwise, no amount of "How to Win Friends and Influence People" or "48 Laws of Power" will free you from that insecurity.

2) Why can't you say no? Scared they might not like you? Overly empathetic? Self-sacrificial lamb? Jesus much?
Again, mend the hole in your soul.

3) Don't want to hurt their feelings?

I suggest you have a "go-to" phrase for gently informing people that you wouldn't be able to offer assistance. "I'm sorry, I wish I could help, but I can't."

If you can tell "why" you'll know the "how to" answers.

I didn't tell her . 2 days later she was about leaving back to her city. I took her to the garage ,gave her 20k and that was it . I will later tell her about her cheating ways . And when she was denying vehemently, I send her screenshot and recordings of her escapades with other men ..

She was shocked and almost had stroke ..

She begged and cried , sent people to call me . Apologized like 3million times .

But I cannot take her back in as my fiancée ? What is it? Wen I know you cheated and a cheater ? How do I cope with that in my head when you return to me?

Although she said she's pregnant and I told her, well you were sleeping with me and Maybe 2 other guys .
So when you put to bed, I'll do a DNA on the child ,and if it's mine ,I'll take care of the child 4eva
But if it's not mine ,then Marry the guy who gave you the belle .


Omor I fear Nigerian girls ooo😂😂

So people should stoop so low and be posting what is in their pantry online to proof a point?

What is in my pantry can last my family and I for 3 months. Not to talk of the ones in the freezer. Some items in the freezer are given out to people every month , especially soup and other about to expired foodstuffs .
But you can stoop so low to state what is in your pantry online including, how you give people expired foodstuffs and soup.

Anyway, that's your headache not mine.

Religion / Re: Jehovah Witness Don't Preach The Gospel, Avoid Them by AuthorMan: 9:00pm
Ken4Christ:


Jesus is the Son of God.
Jesus is God in human flesh.
But Jesus is not the Father.
The fullness of God dwells in Jesus.

Meanwhile, you are digressing from the topic.

Our focus is on the gospel. Which gospel do you preach?

Good response. Straight and accurate.

I have read lots of Awake and Watchtower. I will still read one if I lay my hands on it. No amount of reading it can change my veiws on biblical issues that they preach in heresy.

These guys say exactly what Watchtower teaches and believe. So, blame watchtower.

Watchtower believes what every christian means when the mention Trinity is that there are three Gods. So, they have this illustration of a three headed god to butteress their point. The same these guys are carrying in their heads.

They believe in the mystery of the Virgin getting pregnant without intercourse but this kind of mystery is unclear to them.

God is one.
His name is Jehovah.

He has a Son who resembles Him in all things. Jesus Christ. He Carries the same power the father has.
He is given the right to answer prayers which only the father does.

He has the power to give someone a place in Paradise which only the father does. (example: The thief on the cross)

The Holy Spirit which the father possesses lives in him.

The same said if you've seen me you have seen the Father. He said I am in the Father is in me.

The same said, "asked the father anything in my name. If you ask anything I will do it"
Not when he was on earth but while departing the earth. He will do it from Heaven.

Only God Jehovah possesses such power.

Same Son said all power in Heaven and earth has been given to him. By who by the Father.

So, yes! God is God, Jesus is Jesus. But mysteriosly, he and the father are one. This why they both sit on the throne in heaven.
Who owns the throne?
God.
But He created a space for His son to sit.
No king on earth does that. The son only has access to the throne when they die.

But here is a eternal King who reigns for ever. His Son rules with him.


The problem of JW is they sympatize with God as if Jesus is taking the glory that belongs to Him.

Anyways, talk till eternity JW will stand on what Watchtower teaches them. They are not given the opportunity to REASON by themselves.

It's this chestbeating that always got me angry with Average igbo. So 500k is a money? The food inside my freezer is more than 700k talk on the one inside the store.

So because people dont tolerate your stupidity mean they are jealous of you igbo.
You're a mumu man for making that unreasonable comment. If well checked, you may be a struggler claiming to have food worth over 700k in the fridge. Typical Afonjaa

grin Mumu talk.
The monarchy in Iran for 70s na Shah, handpicked by America. It was the same Iranian youths that toppled it 1979.
And brought in the Islamic republic. Now to u, the youths are tired, and want to bring back the Shah or what?
Any country that refuse to dance to western tunes will receive crippling SANCTIONS. That’s why Iran has been poor. Western sanctions. But with BRICS economy block now, the west would soon be isolated. Their sanctions will no longer be effective and the economic slavery place on the world by IMF, petroleum-dollar, world bank etc, will be a thing of the past.

Thing of the past because of BRICS? grin

I use to believe this before but trust me BRICS won't affect anything.
