Someone who works for money understands that you can't waste money. Dangote is looking at these politicians trying to compete with billionaires when their primary job is to serve the people. They are nothing but thieves.

That's why when you go on social media and see those who spend money and show off most times, they don't have. It doesn't mean that the one they are showing off isn't theirs (they stole it) but if e didn't de e didn't de. They keep on splashing money because that is the way to validate their identity, they are poor inside. That's why they need show off.

Money not worked for can never be spent well. It's not a curse

Renews hope of Ebinpawa politics

Northern Nigeria stands today as a wounded giant, a region caught between the memory of what the Sardauna dreamed and the stark reality created by those who inherited his mantle but not his moral weight. The promise of a people rising through education, productive labour and communal dignity has been slowly suffocated by a ruling class more devoted to its own comfort than to the welfare of the millions in its charge. Power has been held tightly, yet its dividends seldom reach the ground. Poverty spreads like a harmattan fire, children drift out of school, and entire communities live at the mercy of bandits who move with the audacity of men who know the state has abandoned its duty. They call them unknown gunmen, like they are unknown soldiers.

In place of principled leadership, religion is deployed as a curtain behind which incompetence and greed hide. Criticism is dismissed as sacrilege, and the faithful are urged to be patient even as their world collapses around them. And when voices beyond our borders, including Trump’s recent warning, point to the gathering storm, the official response is silence, an indictment in itself.

This is not the North the Sardauna laboured for. It is a fragile creation of neglect, denial and the smallness of those who should have stood tall. The North should tell itself the truth and stop blaming others.
This is Northern Nigeria one year before independence. Ask, what happened

Farooq, the Presidency is a political strategist but failed Governor in chief. He can politick but can't govern. He places politics and selfish ambition above state. Political calculations and compensation is more important. Didn't Jesutega guy call him out on this? TheP President further proved him right appointing Reno as ambassador? It's all politics. His supporters always think you don't like him, fgs if he does well, wouldn't all Nigerians enjoy it? Won't it be to his own benefit for re-election?

I am not surprised, the man who changed our common anthem that united us for years and prefers his own tune of standing on his mandate above national cohesion should tell you all you need to know about his mindset. The song itself signifies to you that he's interested in elections than governance.

I asked AI to summarize what 50 Cent said about entitlement. My brother, NO ONE OWES YOU ANYTHING.

Analysis of the friend's behavior

Disregard for agreement: Your friend's decision to spend the money on clothes shows a blatant lack of respect for the deal you made, your situation, and your future.

False assurance: Giving you repeated assurances and then cutting you off at the last minute is a manipulative tactic that adds to the betrayal you feel.

Prioritizing wants over needs: He chose a want (clothes) over your need (exam fees), despite knowing the high stakes for you. This highlights his selfish mindset and the self-serving nature of his entitlement.

History of taking advantage: The fact that he's still using your laptop reinforces a pattern of behavior where he accepts your help without feeling a need to fully reciprocate or respect your property.

Applying the 50 Cent mindset to your situation
Your situation is an example of the kind of betrayal that 50 Cent talks about when he says success breeds envy and entitlement. While your friend may not be envious of your money, he is envious of your stability and the fact that you were in a position to help. He then feels entitled to that stability without working for it.


Your path forward

Focus on your immediate problem: Your education is the priority. Redirect the emotional energy from his betrayal toward finding a solution to pay your fees by Monday.

Don't expect accountability: Your friend has already demonstrated his character. Do not waste more energy on seeking an apology or demanding he fix the situation.

Embrace self-reliance: This is a hard-earned lesson in self-reliance. Learn to put your trust in your own ability to solve problems, rather than relying on someone who has proven unreliable.

Re-evaluate the friendship: As the search results suggest, a good friend pays people back and honors their commitments. It's time to assess if this person's actions align with your definition of friendship.[/quote]

---

OP, I agree with the last recommendation, reevaluate the friendship. Don't keep malice or be angry with him but go back to my last post and read the words on the pictures, believe people when they show you who they are and reevaluate the circle of people you keep around you. Collect your laptop from him because people often act surprised when you give them the same treatment they give to you.

Your peers and familiar faces often don't want to see you better than them. That's human nature. They prefer see finish. Believe people the first time they show you who they are. He not only spent the money, he spent it on something that is not urgent. Put a picture of his clothes against your success, that tells you all you need to know. He's telling you his welfare is more important than you and yours!

If you didn't have an agreement, I would have said you're entitled but let this teach you a lesson, love all but trust few. Watch what people do and not what they say. Don't be too angry with him, man is inherently selfish. Allow him but take your L and move on. He's entitled to spend his money the way he wishes, you're entitled to wise up and sort out your issues for YOUR OWN GOOD. The world doesn't love you.

Do you know what this picture means

You just reminded me of this guy in Family Matters.

That's the fact their problem is moon sighting 🌙, you can now to decide to remove them from Nigeria if you like.

He who is educated is free. Islamic knowledge alone cannot solve their scientific problems. Interestingly, Islamic scholars are pioneers in the areas of science and research but you choose to ignore that for your convenience.
You are just here to argue. Have a nice day. I am not your problem.

do you know better than Sokoto people? Why do you think Science and Aviation is there problem in life.? Must your problem be their problem. I want to you to know that Nothing compares you in real life with the Northerners apart from the name Nigerians.

Moonsighting

P1PrinceKT:
Paying imams little stipends has nothing to do with Sharia. Unless if your only fear is to hear anything Islamic.

Read the report again, then quote me with a strong counter point. Is the Imam a religious scholar or an academic scholar? Is he the one to teach Business, Science, Aviation, Security? Keep on thinking everything is an attack on religion and don't call out the hypocrisy. You call 500k stipend while Nigerian soldiers say they are paid 100k. Kontinuu

They use religion to hold the people, they don't want to educate them. Why is it only the poor they use the sharia for? What does it say about protection of lives and property, prosperity, economy, education and welfare Hypocrites

They don't make adverts like this anymore because it is 'serving men' and fuels the patriarchy

Hmmmmm2024:
Take heart...death to all terrorists

Amen

Our new COAS is a definition of gallant soldier. Very TALL

Be careful what you post online, it's not for you alone, even your kids. He was even thanking X and those ones helped him 🔎 into his business. I feel sorry for him because in the past when we did things that should not be heard, there was no SM to keep evidence. It's even worse when you play dangerous play online that can have repercussions and you call it cruise, Oya Na. Cruise control. Her words have come to haunt her and now the marriage has started on a special foundation. May we have the wisdom to not use our hands to put ourselves into trouble.

“He’s right” about what? Lol you this children all over Social media eh! Stop making mockery of yourselves.

Everything to you is politics. I don’t do politics okay!

You don’t know how much it takes to run an Embassy, overheads and other local/foreign arrangement.. You think a President will just purposely not appoint Ambassadors to his and country own detriment? Lol

I was @ the Nigeria Embassy in Ankara, Turkey around 2yrs back to renew my passport, I marvelled at the personnel and processes at the Embassy. I could decipher the huge running cost required for such Embassy to operate.

To assign Ambassadors and put things together not a small feat o. Many countries have closed their embassies in other countries due to huge cost.

AGAIN NOT EVERYTHING SHOULD BE POLITICS!

Daddy, all of these are excuses. Did you listen to the analysis at all? Wasn't it the absence of diplomatic relations that made Trump score into an open net? Didn't diplomatic analysts recommend he appoints ambassadors? Are you telling me that foreign policy is not part of government policy? Or you don't know that is a form of defence for Nigeria, strategic defence especially? Or when he went traveling to France and other countries looking for investors, he didn't know that ambassadors were important to those missions?

Nigeria has lost its place to SA because since APC came in, they have not being strategic with foreign policy and here you are telling me about costs like you don't know those offices are part of our foreign investment, security and trade policy. If we had ambassadors, do you think Trump would have openly raised the issue online when we had no reps. The US already listed that we have no ambassadors and envoy and you are here telling me about costs. At what cost is he now appointing them? At the cost of foreign interference?

Please tell another tale. You are the one playing politics here. There is politics, there is governance. You can't keep on making excuses when it's time for governance. Smh

Hmmmmm2024:
What is your obsession with trump ? Death to all terrorists. You terrorists sympathizers are angry because trump said he is coming to end the terrorist activities of your brothers 😂😂😂

Your comprehension of the comments reveal your naivety about the issue.

Mistersolar:
hmmm would u agree to marriage to a single mother

As long as the family is involved. I come from the old school so this wasn't and hasn't been a problem. Family is very important in marriage of any kind.

You are the sum of your thoughts and decisions. Blame others all you want but you're still responsible for your own life.

AMINDA:
Ribadu needs to get serious. He can't go about promising characters like Reno Omokri V.P slot just to buy his support for Tinubu. He's the National Security Adviser. The worst set up Tinubu did was to give him that portfolio, being aware that he has a political ambition. Trump has made sure that propaganda and usage of data boys for PR can no longer hoodwink the people.

The irony of my first picture wrt this topic is . Don't forget Ribadu was their candidate in 2011.

The President is faster to appoint his renewed hope ambassadors for his political ambition than country ambassadors that is for the good for all

commoditiesnig:
Stop being silly with this childish comment all over the place!.. which “trump”?

Unfortunately, he is right. APC tried to defend the fact that Tinubu did not appoint ambassadors but here we are today.

ogaemma:
Reno is a failed man with no principle and integrity.
A man you once openly called a drug Baron and unfit to become President, is now the same man who want to represent as an Ambassador.
So you are representing an unfit president, it show how mentally unfit Reno is.

A person without principles is like the wave of the sea, wherever the wind blows that surely will be it's direction.

Men choose the mothers for their children. If you know what that means, you know what to do. Never reduce your standards if you have one. You'll get who you deserve.

This is an indictment on the North and their elites. What a shame. You always think others don't like you but refuse to accept your hypocrisy using religion to play games, dangerous games.

You look down on Southerners just the way the Arabs look down at Africans, call them Abdi and you call yourselves Muslim. You only want serfs while you and your families remain feudal lords, denying them of education and empowerment while your one class receive the best education in the world. Inna lillahi!

It’s better to get a lady there and marry her than bringing your wife all the way from Nigeria but una no go learn. You felt you knew her,lol, do you know the friends she moved with after you left? Obviously,NO. Yet you still wanna try it, I no dey pity these kind people sha.

Human beings cannot pretend for too long so do not say the Nigerian wife is worse or better than the abroad wife. Those who have been abroad know what their eyes have seen, that's why they come home to look for wives. Ask your bros who marry women who grew up there. Until you have stepped into someone's shoes, it's easy to paint everything as black and white. What's funny about marriage is the question someone asked on social media recently. They asked,

Why don't we hear more news about good marriages and someone responded,

BECAUSE FLIGHTS THAT LAND SAFELY DON'T MAKE THE NEWS.

I know people who took a Nigerian woman there and did well and vice versa. Even the women come back home to Nigeria because 1, the men could be gay. 2, the men may not like black women. 3, the men may have bad morals corrupted by western life.

Why are people going all the way to Philippines, Thailand and other countries to marry TRADITIONAL WIVES If Nigerian women know what they are doing, most men know the value of a good woman not corrupted by western world. We would have been a big market for diaspora wedding because they know the value of a well brought up person. So I say to you that it's not about the location, it's about the person because environment will change but your values will steer you in the right direction.


@ Topic, the man is doing fear mongering. He should be happy that she has shown her true color. It's dangerous to be competing with a woman who's selling you to the spy. It's a hard lesson but just because he has had this experience doesn't mean we should start feasting on fears. What I advise men is to look at the family first because a woman whose family has high standards has more fear from her family than yourself. She will remember where she came from. Let's remove abroad from this story. What if she did this in Nigeria? Do you see where the family comes in? Whose family will accept away goal as their own? Their lineage don spoil be that. Africa should not lose its grip on their strong family and moral foundations, it's something admired by the Western world.
