FamilyRe: Hidden Life Rules That I Learned Too Late In Life by Tedpgrass: 4:39pm On Jun 22, 2020
pansophist:
1. Lions are called the king of the jungle because Tigers (and other stronger formidable predators) do not live in the jungle. In other words, the people who look down on you do so because you haven't assumed your throne and shine in your glory. Go be a king in your domain.

2. Resurrect your inner b!tch. The world is a jungle, and being Mr nice guy will not take you far. The unrelenting you are to exhume your inner b!itch, the farther you go.

3. Formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune. True life's education is experienced outside the classroom. know the difference between to be schooled and to be educated.

4. Being nice and incapable of inflicting harm is not a virtue. It is a weakness. The ability to inflict an untold amount of damages, but chooses not to, is a virtue.

5. If they stand behind you protect them. If they stand beside you, respect them. But if they stand against you, destroy them.

6. Be aware of your vices, and do not let it destroy your life. A typical vice for men is philandering, negative aggression, greed, alcoholism, etc. For women, it is prostitution, chaos, vindictiveness, narcissism, and dissatisfaction.

7. The antidote to suffering in life is responsibility. pursue what is worth dying for, and every other suffering you pass through shall be insignificant.

8. Never be afraid to walk alone, instead be afraid to walk mindlessly with the crowd. Your mind can be your greatest asset, and your greatest liability, depending on if you nourish it well. Be a solitary Tiger if needed, not a mindless sheep.

9. As a man, your superpower lies in being masculine, and for women, being feminine. Understand this and accentuate it to the best of your ability.

10. The ability to express yourself eloquently is power. The power of speech can move mountains, bring down standing armies, and give meaning to life. Be eloquent. The content of your speech speaks more about the speaker, as opposed to the subject. The formation of your mental sophistication is expressed through the content of your words.

11. The weaker you are, the more fight you will get into. The stronger you are, the less fight you will get into either. To thrive is to be tough.

12. Anyone that loves you in the truest meaning of love is your family. Love unites people not blood, though love coming from blood relation is thicker. To understand the true meaning of love, substitute the word ''love'' with responsibility. Love without responsibility is not love, it is infatuation.

13. the natural mandate is that anything valuable comes from the inside. If an egg is broken by an outside force, life ends. If it is broken by an inner force, life begins. Do not let external forces suppress your inner voice.

14. Approach every human relationship and connections with a sense of mutualism, conversely, do not entangle with someone who does not understand this timeless rules. Mutualism is growth, parasitism is death. The tree provides shelter for the bird to nest, and the birds help the tree by spreading its seeds to fertile ground. to germinate.

15. The gentle walk of a tiger is not foolishness, but strategic. In life, know when to give up, preserver, and what deserves your energy and resources, to avoid falling deep into the "sunk cost effect".

16. Have boundaries. A hen is harmless, but as soon as it hatches, its mouth used for eating becomes a weapon to defend and protects it chick, regardless of the aggressors size.
Machiavellian I must say

"Maybe" the guy planted the noose himself to seek attention and sympathy. Jussie Smollet comes to mind......
The ongoing investigation should get to the bottom of the matter..

It doesnt take away the fact that lives have been lost to this mode of killing or all the other cases of extra-judicial killings that have gone on for years with perpetrators getting away.

For those thinking it's an over-reaction, I shake my head.

Watching a Ted talk by Baratunde, a highly educated broadcaster and another by the Political science professor brought home, the harsh realities of their world.
These 2 are highly successful, visible members of their communities who still have to fight that cancer in their daily lives if approached by an unenlightened power-drunk officer. They have worked hard against the tide, made huge sacrifices to get to the top of the ladder but are still treated no differently to their brothers at the bottom of the ladder as the system inherently has a bad design fault.

This system fault varies from location to location.



Due to different realities depending on your geographical location, You mitigate appropriately.

What do you do when you can't mitigate as the system default travels wider than your sphere of influence.



In Naija, its armed robbers, disgruntled juniors at work and unduly envious relatives: not in any particular order amongst power outages, social infrastructure decay.. So you mitigate or control your environment as best as you can.. Which is largely doable!!

In the UK, its understanding how to bestfit into a system that's designed to berate you and sometimes make a mockery of your heritage. It's getting better, I must admit. But it still exists in a few places. In order to improve representation, BAMEs are invited to sit at the table, getting a voice is where the difficulty often arises due to similarity bias.
The stop and search saga - - stigmatisation of the young black male, the Covid-19 BAME deaths are all examples of this anomaly.


In Europe, its very much dependent on the country you reside.

I give an example of Italy.
In Northern Italy, you could go about your business with little interference but get to the heel, the carabinieri start to patrol within 20 minutes of being visible except you are a known face on the "turf".


In the US, in addition to the above surmise, due to a relaxed approach to gun laws, you have the added concern of being "executed" on the basis of the colour of your skin in certain postcodes due to someone's misinterpretation of events--whether premeditated or not!! This is where we are, unfortunately in 21st America after a black presidency.. .... Look at the incarceration figures, why are the percentages of blackmen as compared to other folks grossly incongruent as compared to population stats.


You could argue.. Lack of education, job opportunities, Healthcare .. But isn't that a partial function of the state.. So there's a failing from cradle to grave-- which has not been robustly addressed.
Its this inherent system that has to be redesigned to provide equitable access to wealth creation and lift people up the social ladder.

This is what hopefully the protests will deliver.

Racism is how you let others treat you not how others treat you.

Get an Education, Go into Politics, Do something positive in your community and the society at large, a black man has ruled the white let them sink into our heads.

Racism is how you let others treat you.

Peace to all who found reasoning in my words
Uplifting words..
But its not that simple!!

When a system is skewed against people of a certain visibility - - by colour, name or what have you.... It's much harder to climb through that system and also to stay on top.

We see this over and over again in high profile cases.

That's why institutionalised racism must be brought to its knees. It takes away the legal framework which aids and abets those with personal inclination in that direction.

Education and rehabilitation can be used to target individuals afterwards.

even in nigeria. they are practicing zonning. that is low key racism
There are all things wrong with racism.. Please understand its full ramifications.

Having a quota system or zoning as you've exemplified is an attempt to provide equitable access to opportunities and by default wealth.


Racism does the exact opposite.

It only creates a cloud of mayhem that covers the growing rot in the system(s) albeit very temporarily.

This rot accelerates, combusting as there are no recognised structures in place.

Repetitive fracturing sets in and puts the entire region (West Africa) on edge.

BluntTheApostle:
This is a big joke.

How can an organization arrest someone for justifying rape?

When people are bereft of ideas, they start going beyond the boundaries of the law.

Instead of reading extensively on how countries with low rape cases have been able to maintain such performance, they are making threats that show their incompetence and lack of ideas.
Thank you ooo

I was wondering when an organisation became a law maker or law enforcer..

ModestGal:
He would be definitely or an apologist, see how Nairalanders are supporting him, this shows how much rapist we have in Nigeria and rapist apologists. And how the society support rape.
If a girl is raped, she has all the right to speak up whenever she feels comfortable, speaking up is not easy for victims depending on their age, friends, confidence, parents or the abuser, there's usually fear, confusion, depression on victims. We are in the process of teaching girls to be able to speak up by supporting them and giving them confidence.
Most of these people speaking up now is because they are grown and matured enough that they already feel so loved and they know they have nothing to loose, and they do not fear people that would judge them. For instance, Busola is already in a happy marriage, maybe well loved by her husband, she has discussed with her husband abs she trust him, she cant be compared with a young lady of 20years old from a judgy parents and who lives with people like Nairaland rape apologist monsters, and with friends who would laugh off her like the girls on this thread, with a jealous boyfriend who would call her a harlot immediately.

And when I see female rape apologist, I just smiled and understand na them'' useless females that are even the ones that would make jest of a raped friend, they are the one that have decided to be slaves for their boyfriend and when their friends refuses to be used like a slave, they mock her. This morning, I was still talking to a woman that turned herself to a slave, shes constantly being beaten and maltreated, and she was abusing another lady for not enduring maltreatment saying all men are thesame that whoever she marries would still beat her even more than her prior husband, and thus she's at fault for not enduring.
Sometimes I cry for Nairalanders, people of this mindset are the reasons we have high rape in the country and the reason Africa is backward in everything because their thinking is backward
Madam please stop venting and let the head rule the heart.


As much as I understand your viewpoint, it has to be understood that with passage of time, Moreso in a society like ours that lack basic materials to provide a deep forensic investigation, the less likely a criminal case can be proven and justice obtained.

The earlier the victim cried out the better....... is what he's trying to put across..



As there are rapists, murderers, there are false accusers likewise.. It's all about trying to get justice done effectively and quickly.

I understand there will be difficult cases due to financial or emotional vulnerability of the victim. This is where resources should be invested to address and provide safe havens or alternate accomodation.

Probably that's when people would listen more.

Anyone that believes he has a future should steer clear from rape.
What about the countless victims they could have saved if there was no delay.

Rate of conviction after delay is also much less as there's is usually little evidence to produce.. Mostly its circumstantial lacking merit

What invariably happens is there's significant PR damage..

Something most false accusers know and will use against alleged perpetrators

EducationRe: I Have Been Withdrawn From Medical School. I Can't Tell My Parents by Tedpgrass: 7:58pm On Jun 03, 2020
sagna112:
My name is Uche a 100Level supposed medicine and surgery student of a Nigerian University, I used to be very brilliant and that was what instigated me to apply for Medicine and Surgery after acquiring an aggregate score of 270 in both JAMB and POST-UTME Examinations, I was then admitted a years ago into a university.

I am the only child of my parents, they have spent so much on me just to make sure I become a doctor, dad had to sell one of his plots of land to pay for my registration fees, purchase a brand new laptop, a phone and clothes for me and all my needs, Mum who has no job since she was sacked by the state government will always try to send the little that will pass through her, when I think of the way she announced to her friends when I gained admission to study Medicine it brings tears from my eyes.

It will be an injustice on me to be blamed or for me to blame myself, I know the effort I have also made, I have always taken my studies serious, I never missed any lecture, I neither miss assignments nor tests, I sit at the front of the class, I don't keep bad gangs, I have never attended a party, sometimes I do RTDB (Read Till Day Break), what is then my offense? why me?

At the end of my 100 level Second semester my CGP was reading 4.2 without a single carryover, I was very happy because I thought I had scaled through the danger zone.

The unexpected occurred when I logged into the school portal at the end of my Second Semester Examination to check my result, I cleared all the courses with A's and B's but a course was reading Carryover, I nearly fainted when I saw the result, it was a biology course I offered in second semester to me the course was the simplest of all. I did not inform my parents because I din not want to dishearten them.

The school resumed, so I went to my HOD and complained, she took me to the Exam office who searched thoroughly for my script and from what I saw it was obvious I failed, I scored 32% and was asked to change department, my HOD advised that I go to Biological Sciences, my eyes were filled with tears.

How do I tell my parents this, it only mean I have brought shame to them. I have remained in school since then crying from one angle to another I don't know whether to go home to my parents to inform them of the truth or keep telling them lies.

I need your sincere advice.
Are there any alternatives.. Change to another course such as Biochemistry, Physiology etc and/or use the GPA accrued to get into another pre-med programme.

If dad's hypertensive, keeping it quiet till you explore all options may be the best way.

Ask any of your senior colleagues for leads or links.. Sure there has to be a way of your 1st trimester was quite good and only failed this 1 coursehuh

Good luck
