Kawhi doesnt know how to spell shame. I feel like the reason Lebron has been relevant this long is that the next set of superstars refused to man up. They blame coach, they blame team, they blame media. Everyone but themselves. Thats why I like the new generation. Proud and humble at the same time. Put in the work and stop expecting everyone to bow to your greatness just because. Even Beal dey talk about coach. Lazy man... i feel like these last 8 teams deserve to be here. Every game gon be good. |

Family / 5 Reasons Why You Should Cheat On Him With Another Man That Loves You. by Magicalsineros(f): 5:28am |
The problem in our marriages is that all the rules and regulations regarding marriage are made strictly for the woman. The society put too much pressure on the woman, not minding that for every union to succeed, the both parties must be intentional about it. Dear women, once you're married to that man, who abuses you, beat you up, desrespect you, stress you, cheat on you, doesn't take up his responsibility as your husband and father to your children. Walk away, but once you're stuck in such marriage and can't walk away due to many reasons, then you have a responsibility of looking for another man who truly care about you and start cheating on your current husband. I know many people will come here and call me names and suggest you pray and fast about it, they will tell you to calming talk to your husband and all that bull.shit. trust me, it's very difficult to change a man. For most people to change, they must have weighe the options and ensure it's all to their favoure, otherwise, they will never change Some husband will return back to their wife after they've become financially broke, sick, helpless and have no other alternative. After their side chicks dump them and they become miserable. Too sad, how some women are dumping ground for these set of men all in the name of marriage. 5 reasons why you should cheat on him with another man that loves you. 1. You deserve a better man that loves and respect you. Look for that man and keep him. 2. He's living his life. He's happy. So, you should as well. Stop nagging, crying, harbouring bitterness, stressing yourself, getting old and looking unkept. Because once he's done stressing you and you eventually lose all your beauty or dies and leave your children, his side chicks will come in and start maltreating your children. 3. Your time is short. Women grow old fast. Use your prime to make a friend who can stand by you in difficult situations. Someone that can help your children even when you're not there. (Network and keep quality people in your life) 4. Everyone need someone that truly love them. You do as well. Don't deprive yourself and hoping to be enduring, waiting for him to die before you can be liberated. He might not even die before you. 5. He have many options apart from you. Yes. He do. You should do as well. Add more points if you have and If you have any objections to my write up, say it intelligently. |

Business / Re: Making Regular Income Publishing Amazon Kindle Ebooks by Tomman: 1:54am |
evb2000: To give you a clearer picture of what I was talking about, let me quote a post that I made in a different thread that was based on a similar topic: The challenges that Africans - particularly Nigerians - and even black people in general, face publishing books on KDP, are not the same as the challenges that a white person living in America or UK, for example, faces. And it is extremely misleading to talk as though it is exactly the same, as several people here have been doing. I provided those same two links in my previous comments on this very thread, but apparently the people here who saw the post did not bother to check them out (one person even sneered at my statement that Amazon is racist towards black people at all - which is absolutely astonishing given that the very first link clearly documents this very fact extensively). But this is the problem a lot of black people have; they just do not ever want to believe that white people can possibly hate them and be against their interests. Even while evidence abounds that this is the case, they ignore it. For the record, I am not by any means trying to discourage anyone from experimenting with KDP publishing, especially if writing is your passion. That is not my point. All I want is for us to not be deceived about what our chances really are and what the game really is that we are playing here. Are we playing a truly fair game in which everyone, regardless of race, region or nationality, have the same chances of being successful as long as they work hard and do all the right things? Or are we playing a rigged game? My problem is that I have very strong reasons to believe the game is rigged. Not just against Nigerians/Africans, but against black people in general - including African Americans. Though it is even more so the case with Africans, especially Nigerians. Saying that it is just a matter of doing the usual stuff like having good covers and doing marketing and so on, is silly. It assumes that you are on an equal playing field where the game is not rigged. I guarantee you that there are thousands of highly talented black writers in Nigeria and around the world doing all that stuff and yet barely making anything worthwhile in spite of it. And this is true even if their stories are set in western/American setting. I have constantly challenged people over the years to show me a single example of a black person, even within America, who has been very successful publishing their own books on KDP (with hundreds or thousands of reviews and ratings), and nobody has been able to point at a single example of one despite all the black talent around the world. Even in American forums where I have posted the question, they will typically whine and lash out for daring to ask such a question, but fail to provide any example. Even in your diary thread (which I checked out), there was a place where you actually said that you know many talented Nigerian writers working hard publishing their books on KDP, but none of them make anything even close to $1000 a month, And you don't see how strange that is. That makes absolutely ZERO sense if this were really a fair game that we were playing here - where books sink or swim simply based on quality of the stories and marketing/word-of-mouth, and nothing else. There are tons of hack white authors in the US and other countries making much more than $1000 a month on KDP from publishing recyclable garbage - some without even much or any marketing. As I said in the quote above, as a black person - and most especially a Nigerian/African - Amazon will only let you make chump change on their platform. But the moment you somehow manage to overcome their unfair algorithms and start making any really significant money, their axe will come down on you. This has happened countless times to black authors (even those who are US citizens) who till this day do not know what they did, get no answers from Amazon, and have had their proceeds robbed from them. I also believe that the reason why you were even able to make the amount you made - a few hundred here and there per month, eventually accumulating to about $1500 - is because you were in Canada. That almost certainly would not have happened if your geographical location at the time had been Nigeria. Platforms like D2D have even banned Nigerians and other Africans blatantly. You may dismiss this merely as "conspiracy theory". But in the end, I keep going back to evidence. I am an observant person, and I am very familiar with the indie publishing business. And the fact remains that what I have observed does not in any way look as if the system is a fair game where everyone regardless of race, region or nationality is on an equal playing field. Instead all indications point in the exact opposite direction. (And, as pointed out earlier, that is the case even if you are all writing books based on western settings.) You may ask why Amazon, or any other US corporation for that matter, would want to engage in such behavior given that business and profit should be the only thing that matters. Well, part of it is the simple fact that profit is not the only thing that matters to the American elites - racial subjugation (controlling and keeping a certain group of people in their place) also matters to them - and it matters far more than most black people dare to think. Furthermore, there isn't much reason to think that the dynamics of the market, if they did not do that, would lean much in terms of non-ebook products losing out over ebooks as opposed to merely some authors books losing or winning out over others. Besides, they're swimming in so much money that it doesn't make any difference - what do they care? Ultimately, do I hope I am wrong about all this and that you guys are right, and that the only reason we have not seen even a single renowned independent black/African/Nigerian author on KDP, much less dozens, is simply because black/African/Nigerian authors just aren't talented at writing, or they are all too lazy or poor to use fine covers and promote their ebooks? Yes, I totally wish that were true. But, if I am to be really honest with myself, that is a bit like wishing for the easter bunny to show up at my wedding and be my best man. |
Romance / Re: How To Become A Woman Priority And Not An Option by Lovewhisper: 1:47am |
4 boy attractive secrets So, really, what are the things that first come to mind when a woman thinks of a bad boy? Bad boys are often perceived as more confident, adventurous. Bad Boys present a challenge or a project to the women that date them; they're rebellious, non-conformists, perceived as more masculine, emotionally unavailable. You know, there's a widespread understanding that relationships with bad boys often lead to hurt, disappointment, and are generally unsatisfying. The aura of Bad Boys is often rooted in fantasy and media portrayals which glamorize their behavior. So if bad boys are bad, why do they constantly get all the attention? And what can good boys learn from them to 10x their personal attraction, or perhaps what can good boys learn from them or use to their advantage to get ahead of bad boys? Let's talk a bit more on the couch. So today, we're diving into the secrets of bad boy attraction and how good guys can use them to their advantage. The good news is you don't need to change who you are; you just need to tweak how you present yourself guys. Let's get into it. Now, the first secret I want to talk about is confidence. Bad boys exude confidence, and if you want to exhibit confidence in a manner similar to the so-called bad boy allure, you're going to have to do it as they do. This is the cornerstone of bad boy appeal, but remember, it's not about being overbearing or cocky; it's about a quiet assurance that you're valuable, you're capable. So how can a good guy harness this? First, it starts with your mindset. Confidence is often a self-fulfilling prophecy; believe in yourself, and others will follow. Have the body language of a winner; stand tall with your shoulders back and head held high. Now, this posture signals confidence to others and, surprisingly, to yourself as well. It's amazing how our physical posture can influence our mental state. Note, Bad Boys don't flinch when you talk to women; maintain steady eye contact. It shows you're engaged and confident in the interaction. Guys, believe it or not, your voice is also a reflection of your confidence. I'm not talking about that deep baritone, Barry White kind of voice. I'm talking about your ability to speak clearly and at a moderate pace. Avoid filler words like "um" and "uh." You know, it's not about being loud but about being clear and concise in your words. let me move into secret number two, and that is Mystery. So, bad boys often have an air of mystery that's intriguing. There's a reason why the mysterious stranger vibe is so captivating; mystery creates curiosity, and curiosity is actually really attractive. It's about striking the right balance between being open and maintaining a bit of intrigue. So first, let's talk about conversation. For instance, when you're sharing a conversation about yourself, you want to leave certain things unsaid. It doesn't mean being secretive or deceptive; it's about not revealing every detail of your life in one go. So let her ask questions and be somewhat measured in your responses. See, your story is like a book. If you give away the entire plot in the first chapter, there's no reason to keep reading. Let your story unfold gradually, share bits about your life over time. Let her discover these layers naturally. Being mysterious also means being unpredictable in a very good way. Break your routine now and then. If you usually text at a certain time, mix it up a little; suggest an unexpected activity for a date or a meetup. Small surprises can make a big impact. Another aspect of creating mystery is managing your online presence. In today's world, it's very easy to find out almost anything and everything about someone on social media. So you want to consider being less active or be selective about what you put out there. Now, secret number three is Independence. Independence is key. Bad boys are often seen as lone wolves who don't need anybody. Now, even though this is a trait often associated with a bad boy image, it's actually something that everyone can cultivate. Independence isn't just about being alone; it's about being self-reliant and having your own identity. Now, there are a few things I'd like you to consider. First, let's talk about emotional independence. This means not relying on others for your happiness or your validation. It's about being comfortable with who you are on your own, no need for anybody else. What you want to do is practice spending time alone and enjoying your own company. This builds a strong sense of self that women will find attractive. Financial independence is also key. It doesn't mean you have to be wealthy, but striving to be financially responsible and self-sustaining is important. It shows that you can take care of yourself, and that's a highly attractive quality. Having your own interests and hobbies is another aspect of independence, where you engage in activities that you love, not just things that you think will impress others. When you're passionate about something, it shows; it makes you more interesting and attractive to others. Independence also means making your own decisions. Don't just go along with a crowd; have your own opinions, don't be afraid to express them. Of course, this should be done respectfully and thoughtfully as well. And lastly, don't be afraid to do things by yourself. These experiences build character and show that you're not reliant on others for social activities or enjoyment. Remember, independence isn't about isolating yourself; it's about building a life where you are your own primary source of strength and fulfillment. It makes you more attractive because it shows that you're a complete person on your own, and you can take that to the bank. Guys, now this is often misunderstood as being aggressive or dominant, but true assertiveness is quite different. It's about expressing your needs and opinions clearly and respectfully without overriding others. Firstly, assertiveness begins with clear communication. It means being able to express your thoughts and feelings openly. It requires self-awareness and the ability to articulate your needs without being confrontational. It's also about setting boundaries. This means knowing your limits, not being afraid to say no when needed. It's crucial to respect your own time and commitments, and this, in turn, gains respect from others. Assertiveness involves negotiation; it involves compromise. It's not about always getting things your way but about finding a middle ground where all parties feel heard and valued. Finally, assertiveness is also about taking initiative. Don't wait for others to make decisions for you. If you have an idea or a plan, step forward, share it. Taking the lead in a respectful way can be very appealing. Remember, assertiveness is a balance; it's about being confident in your self-expression while also being considerate of other people. This balance is not just attractive; it's a key to healthy relationships and interactions with women. I'll wrap up this now. There you have it, bad boy attraction secrets that can work wonders for good guys. Remember, it's not about changing who you are but enhancing the qualities you already have. Be confident, be yourself, let the magic happen. If you want to level up in life don't forget to show some love until next time |

Romance / Re: Husband Busts Wife Cheating, Destroys Lover's Car (Photos, Video) by 10thTenthMan: 11:48pm On May 03 |
maingwaest: A sensible respectful counter mention. At least there is still some hope that some persons think and reason before they talk. If you observe, I do not respond to mentions that have no reasons or basis for the insolence that is displayed here. Now, If it is the other way round, the woman can decide to leave. She should not go on a rampage, either. If she goes on a violent rampage, and hurts someone, her life too could be finished. If you think you cannot take it then leave. And yes it depends on how much you value faithfulness. Leave quietly than go on a bloody rampage that will turn your story to '' Cheated on; Arrested and Tried; Convicted and Sent to Jail; etc. etc. all because your female ''delusions'' told you to fight the lover of your husband. A typical Nairalander here talked about my reference that ''the man isn't the ''king'' in the life of the woman anymore'' and claims some men being more delusional than women. IT IS THAT SAME DELUSION THAT IS MAKING HER ALSO CALL A GROWN MAN “BABY”. And I shake my head at the idiocy and expected lack of deep thought of such a statement, because if not for delusion, why would two people decide to exchange bodily fluids, know about dates of bloody discharges from private parts and inform a man about it, etc, etc.If not for delusion, why would I pick a woman on the street I barely know, claim to observe her for a few weeks to years, give her my surname and take care of her needs and ask/expect her to bear me sane healthy children? If not for grand delusion of both genders? ''he is so romantic'' simply means he really knows how to create delusions in my mind with roses and flowers and dinners and trips and etc Delusion is necessary for procreation. An act that for humans, happens mainly through a process so disgusting and unhygienic that people catch diseases and die in the process. Self-delusion is required. Delusion, is for a woman to claim to ''love a guy'' because of some words the spoke and food he bought at a restaurant that she is willingly to open her legs and show her private parts. That same delusion to the words and actions of a man which a mainly scripted is the difference between consensual sex and rape. So yes. Delusion is there and both genders/ individuals take it to various levels. So to that person, no matter how tough you think you are, you are still delusional in this ''man and woman'' thing. Another talked about whether it is so easy to leave. Then kill the person and go to jail and ruin your life over another persons' hotel enjoyment. Which means ab initio you probably weren't destined for much in life either. Oh your temper? You lost your temper? Ok..good..but you will still go to jail. Anyway, back to your comment. Everyone has a choice to leave. The decision might be harder to make for some. But it is better off to leave than kill yourself or someone. Hence, in this case and if the case was reversed, I still do not think going on a maniacal rampage is the best option regardless of whether the person cheated on is the man or the woman. 1 Like |
