Small breast as you called it doesn't warrant a feeling of insecurity. Its about you and no one else. We are most miserable when we look into the mirror and feel disgusted by what we see. Once a part of you begins to relay such feelings to you, rebuke it. Its the devil. You live for yourself. Ain't competing with no one. Aspee people's opinions about you, they don't exist. Your opinion only exists. If someone calls you a monkey and you reach out for the next available tree to brachiate, weh don sa.
KingOvo: Bloggers have a knack for connecting dots where they don't exist sometimes. But do I agree with her? Absolutely. It's not anybody's business what a woman or anybody for that matter decides to do with their bodies. Same people that will criticise girls for having small breasts or ass, will turn around and insult them when they get plastic surgery. Same ones will go on to say Nicki Minaj is sexy and beautiful or follow women on Instagram with silicon everything. You really cannot please just humans.

History will record this period as Nigeria's Darkest Ages. Viva Buhari
spectroscopic: Bloomberg compares Nigeria 2014 and 2018-hard data
Nigeria is a much more important country than most people in the U.S. probably realize. With more than 190 million people, it’s Africa’s largest country by far (Ethiopia, the second-largest, has a little more than half as many). And with a fertility rate of about 5.5 children per woman, among the world’s highest, Nigeria is only going to grow in importance — by the century’s end, the country is projected to have almost 800 million people, almost twice as many as the U.S. by then.
But as things stand, this African giant is failing to create the prosperity that will sustain that future population. Its oil-dependent economy has struggled after oil prices plunged five years ago. The number of Nigerians in extreme poverty — generally defined as living on less than $1.90 a day — is estimated to be increasing by six every second.
Meanwhile, the country’s economic institutions are failing, with rising unemployment and debt levels. A recent Bloomberg Opinion editorial laid out the grim numbers:
In the long run, Nigeria needs to wean itself from dependence on oil by spending energy revenues on education, health and infrastructure. But that plan might take decades to bear fruit in the best of circumstances. In the short run, Nigeria needs jobs. One of the best way to create those jobs would be to increase international trade. And the quickest way to boost trade would be to join the African Continental Free Trade Area, the planned free trade zone of the African Union (an organization dedicated to forging closer cooperation between African states). The AfCFTA now includes 52 countries and more than $2 trillion of economic activity. Entering that agreement, which would eliminate tariffs on 90% of goods, would open up plenty of new markets for Nigerian-made products.
But Nigeria’s manufacturers see the AfCFTA as more of a threat than an opportunity. Frank Jacobs, president of the Manufacturing Association of Nigeria, recently declared that “When they open our borders for all manner of products to come into this country, most of our industries will be out of business.” The Nigeria Labor Congress, an umbrella organization of trade unions, called the AfCFTA an “extremely dangerous and radioactive neo-liberal policy initiative.” As a result of this political opposition, Nigeria has balked at joining the agreement. There is some justification for reluctance. Though the current accord is mainly about reducing tariffs between African member states, the AU plans to follow it up with a push for a customs union and a single currency. This latter step would be a bad idea. As Europe discovered so disastrously in the financial crisis, a currency union can exacerbate local recessions, since it makes it impossible for countries with weak economies to depreciate their currencies and become more competitive. A monetary union without fiscal integration makes sovereign-debt crises like the one in Greece much more likely and damaging. Africa should avoid making the same mistakes that Europe made. And Nigeria, especially, should be wary of a currency union — its natural resource exports tend to push up the value of its currency, the naira, making non-oil exports less competitive, meaning the country needs to push its currency down in order to restore balance. But signing on to the AfCFTA wouldn't oblige Nigeria to adopt the later stages of the AU plan. For now, the priority should be opening the country to trade. Nigeria now is highly protectionist. Its list of prohibited or restricted imports is long, including items such as carpets, shoes, handbags and most types of furniture. The government also makes a large number of imports, such as textiles and clothing, ineligible for foreign exchange at the central bank’s official window, making it harder to import these items.
In her book “The Next Factory of the World: How Chinese Investment Is Reshaping Africa,” McKinsey & Co. researcher Irene Yuan Sun argues that these import restrictions have damaged Nigeria’s manufacturing sector. The obstacles to importing textiles have made it difficult for Nigeria to develop a competitive clothing-export industry of the type now growing in Ethiopia. And the impediments to importing labor-intensive manufactured goods like furniture, shoes and carpets, though it has shielded Nigeria’s manufacturers in the short term, has had the long-term effect of preventing them from learning how to compete in international markets. This is a drag on growth. Labor-intensive manufacturing is still almost certainly the best and quickest path for nations to escape mass poverty. Journalist Joe Studwell argues in “How Asia Works” that exporting raises productivity and encourages the import and adoption of advanced foreign technology. And Harvard University economist Dani Rodrik argues that promoting exports helps countries to discover what they’re good at doing, allowing them to invest with confidence and to establish a stable niche in the global economy. Maintaining an insular, protectionist stance is often tempting for a country as large as Nigeria, whose manufacturers are always clamoring for the prize of a captive domestic market. But this approach merely provides a crutch that ultimately preserves industrial weakness. Instead of hiding behind trade barriers, Nigeria should focus on aggressively promoting manufactured exports. Gaining access to nearby African markets would be one step toward doing that. Courting foreign-direct investment, depreciating the currency and pushing companies to export are other important steps. And in the long run, investments in education, health and infrastructure will make Nigeria an attractive platform for labor-intensive manufacturing. This is the giant African country’s best hope for escaping a looming tsunami of poverty.
Ikeboboafri: Femi Fani-Kayode, the PDP chieftain who reacted to Pastor Adeboye’s statement on sack of Service Chiefs, has stated that he strongly disagrees with it.Recall that the RCCG General Overseer had stated that sacking the service chiefs will not solve the insecurity situation in the country.
However in his tweet as he reacted to Pastor Adeboye’s statement on sack of Service Chiefs, Femi Fani-Kayode stated that he strongly disagrees with the comment. He tweeted;
A mother, father, and child make up a relationship triangle.
Just like with systems and boundaries, triangles can be functional or not. There are healthy interactions in triangles and unhealthy ones. The unhealthy ones usually involve some kind of boundary violation. When people use triangular relationships in dysfunctional ways, this is called triangulation.
Here is what this can look like.
Sometimes, when a parent does not have a good relationship with their spouse, they will turn to their child for emotional solace. They will form an alliance with the child against the other parent. In this triangle, there are two insiders, let’s say the mother and the child, and an outsider, the father. In this triangle, the mother’s intent isn’t to harm the child, but rather to lessen the distress she feels in her marriage. On the contrary, she is actually hurting the son and herself.
The three bonds or dyads in the triangle could be mutually exclusively managed. Father and son; mother and son; and father and mother. One's failure shouldn't automatically ruin the rest, though it has that tendency. Isolate the unhealthy dyad, in this case, father and mother and insulate the other two dyads from its toxicity. It may turn out that the strength of the other two dyads could rub off positively on the weak father-mother bond and the whole triangle comes back alive.
joshuisiukwu: Alibaba has dropped a shade for Tonto Dikeh, as he wrote about ladies who make fathers of their children look like monsters. The ace comedian who recounted past experiences including the marital crisis of a Nigerian career diplomat posted to East Africa, stated that women should try not to mess up the relationship the child will have with the father because they are upset.
The shade post reads in part;
Very often, you will see ladies who make the fathers of their children look like monsters. The said father may be the best father the child ever wished for, but, the mothers' hurt will not let the fathers have the opportunity to show the child that love. Many years ago, a certain wife of a Nigerian career diplomat, posted to East Africa, had a messy and sour marriage. It was a very popular case. The woman resorted to making sure she flung all kinds of dirt at the Diplomat. She even asked the Nigerian Government to recall him and dismiss him. While she was all out to ruin him. She forgot that her children were depending on their father's support to make a headway in life. The Solomonic dilemma came to play again. If I can't have him, then let me mess his career up.
9jaRealist: The very definition of racism is characterizing (usually negatively) an entire group of persons on the basis of race...
Perhaps your "truth" is different from mine and others, because most of the Africans that I PERSONALLY know definitely do not lack an ability "to visualize the future", but then again I can only speak to MY truth and not being personally privy to your own experiences, family nor the sort of Africans that you associate with, I cannot presume to invalidate your own peculiar life experiences. Suffice it nonetheless for you to bear in mind that life is NOT a homogeneous experience (with emphasis on experience)!
Meanwhile, interesting how these same Africans can emigrate abroad out of their comfort zone where they compete with others on their own home turf and routinely match or even outperform these supposedly superior races. >
Don't shed ignorant tears. Every society goes through this sort of civilization curve. It is not about the African community. Its about poverty, lack of proper education and exposure. Nothing genetic about it.
matify83: I was moved to tears with the excerpts above.
How can someone so accurately summarize us and our future in such prophetic manner.
DonX001: My dear, I had almost the same feelings when I read the Lord Lugard's comments. He described us as a community perfectly....and this was as far back as a hundred years ago. People that are arguing against it are blinded by self deceit, and refuse to tell themselves the truth. (Which Lord Lugard also mentioned in that writeup as "a lack of veracity". Those that don't know the meaning of veracity can google it up.). The man describes exactly why we are where we are today, (compared to other nations/continents), from what he wrote over a hundred years ago. The man has vision and sagacity. I need the book to if you can find it.
DonX001: Its not about self worth bullshit. Don't bulllshit yourself telling yourself "feel good" platitudes. Lord Lugard is completely right. A 100% right. You may choose to ignore it. But stop and observe your country as a population and community. This was written in 1914 or so I guess. Look at where we are in 2019, over a hundred years later, and 59 good years after we have taken over from the British.
Compare ourselves with other countries that started developing the same time as us or after us- Malaysia, Dubai, South Korea.
Ask yourself why it is primarily the African continent that is underdeveloped the way it is, compared to other continents.
Look at our Nigerian community again, from 1914 when we were formed, to our status after Independence, down till now where we are now.
This is completely true of ednut1. To believe in and post this is utterly abominable. Don't you have any sense of self worth? Someone calls you a goat; then you start bleating.
ednut1: Lord Lugard, the former governor-general of Nigeria, in 1926, wrote his unfiltered thought about Nigerians. From his book, The Dual Mandates, come these excerpts: "In character and temperament, the typical African of this race-type is a happy, thriftless, excitable person, lacking in self-control, discipline, and foresight. Naturally courageous, and naturally courteous and polite, full of personal vanity, with little sense of veracity, fond of music and loving weapons as an oriental loves jewellery. His thoughts are concentrated on the events and feelings of the moment, and he suffers little from the apprehension for the future or grief for the past. His mind is far nearer to the animal world than that of the European or Asiatic, and exhibits something of the animals' placidity and want of desire to rise beyond the state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African appears to have evolved no organised religious creed, and though some tribes appear to believe in a deity, the religious sense seldom rises above pantheistic animalism and seems more often to take the form of a vague dread of the supernatural. He lacks the power of organisation, and is conspicuously deficient in the management and control alike of men or business. He loves the display of power, but fails to realize its responsibility - he will work hard with a less incentive than most races. He has the courage of the fighting animal, an instinct rather than a moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and defects of his race -type are those of attractive children, whose confidence when it is won is given ungrudgingly as to an older and wiser superior and without envy. Perhaps, the two traits which have impressed me as those most characteristic of the African native are his lack of apprehension and his lack of ability to visualize the future"
