You can already see their covetousness in action on this thread. They believe Lagos state can get any other tag but not a Yorubaland. On a normal day, we are not moved by their rhetoric, but sometime, it is great to flash the fact in front of narcissist for them to understand.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder: The Bane of Nigeria's Sociopolitical Landscape and the Imperative for Healing

Several years ago, I notice a trait among some specific group of Nigerian internet users and was determined to dig deep as to why. This trait I discover is called narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) and is a serious mental health condition of concern.

Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) is a mental health condition characterized by a pervasive pattern of grandiosity, a need for admiration, and a lack of empathy for others. People with NPD often have an exaggerated sense of self-importance and a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, beauty, or ideal love. The disorder is part of the cluster B personality disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which is a widely used manual for diagnosing mental health conditions.

Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) include the following:

1. Grandiosity and Exaggerated Sense of Self-Importance:
-- Overestimates achievements and talents.
-- Expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements.
-- Fantasies about unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love.
-- Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by or should associate with other special or high-status people.
-- Requires excessive admiration, adulation, attention, or affirmation.
-- Feels entitled; expects automatic compliance with his or her expectations.

3. Belief in One's Unique and Special Status:
-- Holds a strong conviction that they are fundamentally different and superior to others.
-- Believes they can only be understood by, or should associate with, people of high status or similar special qualities.

-- Demonstrates a sense of uniqueness that often lacks objective justification.
May expect special treatment or privileges due to their perceived special status.
-- Tends to dismiss or devalue the opinions and experiences of others who are perceived as less special or important.
-- This belief in unique status can contribute to difficulties in forming genuine connections and maintaining healthy relationships.


4. Requires Excessive Admiration:
-- Craves constant attention, admiration, and validation from others.
-- Has an insatiable need for praise and approval.
-- Seeks reassurance about their worth, superiority, and accomplishments.

-- Often exploits others to fulfill their needs or desires without regard for the impact on others.

-- Takes advantage of individuals to achieve their own goals or desires.
-- May manipulate or deceive others to serve their own interests.

Covetousness is a dangerous mindset.

Nobody says Lagos is not everybody's possession, ( who doesn't like good thing? ). But Lagos is first a Yorubaland, Yoruba and is part southwest Nigeria.

These are obvious facts.

Covetousness is a dangerous state of mind. You can already know who is who based on comments on this thread.

Thank you Mr. Seun and all Nairaland team for restoring this thread.

I feel it is ridiculous to wake up and discover my thread with the title as above was deleted.

1. I believe I did not break any law on this forum with that post. All I wrote was the truth.
2. Why delete a post without giving any reason (or notice) as if people's time (they) use writing the post is worthless.

That was the same way I was once banned for 30 day for writing a post that was at most innocuous.

My advice to Nairaland is: Create a place to move inappropriate thread temporarily so people (author) can remove objectionable content and then repost.

Yahoo was major search engine for years before Google came up with its own search engine. Do people search with yahoo today? The internet is in constant state of evolution and companies succeed based on degree of flexibility and adaptability.

1. I'm Yoruba. You can't strip me off my tribe just becoz our views don't allign.

2. When P square challanged APC supporters to bring out posts that showed they used derogatory word during elections, they brought out the post that P square called northerners "aboki"
3. Yeah right, as if they don't happen in our backyard.
4. Presidency is not a child's play but you gladly gave it to bubu who nearly destroyed the country.
5. You travelled, and every single Igbo man was hostile to you? Give me a break.

It is called election, and like they use to say: "majority carries the vote".

The same you will say "Tinubu did not win but rig the election through INEC"; the same you will still use the other side of your mouth to say that "the Yorubas massively voted for him based on tribalism". Which of the two statements should we accept as truth?

You made your choice, why are you angry about the choice made by others. Are you their God to decide who they vote for?
The same way your candidate is a saint and Massiah to you is the same way Tinubu is a saint to those that casted their vote for him; why do you think your opinion is superior? Why do you think your candidate is the messiah while Tinubu is just a joke.

Look, in democracy, you try to educate people to your line of thinking and persuade them to vote your candidate and not use narcissism and Machiavellian approach to force and coarse people into voting your candidate.

On the issue of hostility, keep misconstruing my statements, it shows how very smart you are...

[quote author=CandidAdmin post=127132972][/quote]First, You're not Yoruba (stop claiming Yoruba for purpose of credibility). Be proud of your origin for once.

Second, the word "Aboki" mean 'friend". It is not derogatory!

Third, I did not mention specifically any tribe or region. But we all know where those events I mention are the norms.

Fourth, is presidency a toy that is given on platter of gold? don't people work for it?

Fifth, I have travelled to most states in Nigeria. I did not tannish any tribe; Stop playing the victim card.

Lastly, if speaking the truth to you is tribalism, please face your front and keep going. Our understanding differs.

They don't hand out development like it is a piece of cake; the same way they don't hand out presidency like it's a piece of cake.
The wise ones are always strategic about it.

You can't be hostile to nonindigenous businesses, foreigners and expect any meaningful development. You can't be greedy with your land and resources and expect people to invest. You can't sow seed of hatred towards other (before and during election period) and suddenly become friendly only during election period and expect people to support you massively with votes.

You want to reap where you don't sow.

That is why I laugh when some people support non state actors to forcefully lock their parents and businesses perpetually with "sit at home" propaganda every Monday. They rejoice at the death of Nigerian security men in their region. All this action has future consequences, but they fail to realize. The other day, some staffs of the US embassy were killed in the same region, and you think the event is forgotten just like that?

If you have meaningful project going on in your region, won't the federal government support you?


The greed and covetousness of "some group" about Lagos state should stop; Also, the looking down on other southwest states should come to an end. I believe the sky is big enough for all the birds to fly without one touching the other.

Make your governors responsible by asking questions. Don't just sit down and watch while governments in some regions are embarking on big big projects while your governors are doing nothing; and then later start claiming you develop everywhere or that you're a victim of development.

In your useless bud to make everyone Yoruba you had to denigrate the Igalas by calling them antelopes. How would you feel if some other tribe called your own tribe by derogatory names.

Have you asked Igala people what the meaning of the word is? Their ancestors are hunters who hunt for game; they migrate to the land called Igalaland several centuries ago. The place known as Igala today served as abode for a lot of antelope then.

The people of your kind are always emotional about everything and will not allow room for knowledge. Do your findings as to the meaning of the word "Igala" and then come here to tell the world about the lie I told.

I will no longer reply to you henceforth; since you write like an ignorant person who hates knowledge.

I call their language Yoruboid which indicates that we have same ancestors. analysis of their spoken language in many fronts is much more Yoruba than any other language.

If you see me physically, you will not call anything about me "useless", but I understand your type and kind lack foresight and cannot see anything beyond the internet and the flatscreen you're typing from. I know you're a kid, naive and inexperienced (and mostly mentally).

That boi u replied is a complete lunatics and it runs in their generations😂😂😂 he will reply u with dumb comments and thrash with nothing to back his claim rather than his father being a slave of fulani.....when everybody is telling someone that his wrong and dey even bring fact from internet to enlighten him but he still refused I don't know what else to call him if not lunatics who have no prove 😂

I like that they are asking us these questions; Although, they have their negative ulterior motives, we are getting bigger, stronger and better...

Low self esteem is very difficult to cure and in some cases, outrightly impossible to cure. I really feel sorry for you.

1. You had to post a Facebook page as your evidence that Okuns are Yorubas. How low can you get. Any ediot could have written that crap. So if I posted a Facebook page to show that Hausas are descendants of Yorubas, does that mean I was correct after all it's on Facebook.

2. Even your Google snapshot betrayed you and prove you to be a low self esteem liar as the word Okun doesn't mean vitality. Okun is a greeting term among all Okunland. Okun as a greeting is a term used by only Okuns and it can loosely mean "weldone"

3. Your third picture nailed your coffin as an unintelligent liar with low self esteem. The Google snapshot you posted described Okun as Yoruba speaking. It takes a special kind of ST00PEED not to know the difference between Yoruba and Yoruba speaking. Guy, your dulness no be hear oo

In my first post to you, I stated that ability to speak a language does not make you part of that language. In the north, nearly everyone can speak Hausa but that doesn't make every Northerner a Hausa man. Same applies to Yoruba and many other major languages.

Nobody or group of persons can intimidate or stop us from exposing the very few evil ones and criminals.

Our culture does not tolerate or cover up crime, there is no safe place for criminals in the southwest. Even though we largely own the media and have it at our disposal, we will not shy away from exposing the bad ones so they can serve as deterrent for others who may want to embark on similar journey.

There are cultures that cover up crimes and adore successful criminals without care for their source of wealth.

Our culture is the culture of the Omoluwabi; Culture of hardworking, honesty, integrity, respect, kindness, generosity, compassion, empathy, and responsibility.

If you see something, say something!
If you do the crime, you do the time!

I believe the National Orientation Agency NOA, should do more at creating awareness and reorientation of citizens to the understanding that all money ritual practices are such a hoax and does not really work. Other thing I think the NOA should work on is on Educating adults about "proper parenting" because many of the problem in the society usually begin with lack of education about proper child upbringing.

Download "Rapid Transfer Mobile App" by ecobank . Sign-up and link your Payoneer MasterCard to the app. You can then transfer money to your Nigeria dollar account.

You might need to visit a nearby ecobank if you are struggling to sign up with the app .

Please, help me with your realistic solution. I have been searching the internet on how to do this.

I have P ayoneer MasterCard and I would like to transfer money directly from the card to my Nigeria dollar mastercard (connected with my domiciliary account). I really want to stop paying 10USD bank transfer fee I usually pay the P ayoneer service for withdrawal directly into Nigerian bank.

Please, share with me how I can solve the problem. I'd like to be able to transfer money from one card to another free of charge between my Nigeria dollar Mastercard and my P ayoneer Mastercard.

Yorubas are very funny people and inherently self centered. Same Awolowo wanting to keep Lagos in the Western Region, supported the separation of Port Harcourt from then Eastern Region into the so-called region known as SS today.

Yorubas should understand the effects of politics of separation. Had Lagos been separated from Western Region, the owners of Lagos aka Aworis, will deny their Yoruba root, not because they don't want to be Yoruba but for political exigency and relevance. Federal government would have supported that like they do with former estaern Region territories, to keep them separated from Igbo and easy to control.

Same way Kwara was separated from Yorubaland and the Yoruba there as a unit, not individuals, do not identify as Yorubas. They identify as the Northerners. Same thing with Port Harcourt, a well know Igbo town, shies away from identifying with Igbo to stay relevant.

How many Yoruba in Ilorin (and Kwara state at large) have you interviewed that brought your conclusion that they don't want to identify as Yoruba.

Even the Yorubas in Brazil, Togo, Cuba e.t.c. will boldly identify as Yoruba.

Some people are good at creating "their facts" from tin air, based on their emotion rather than being realistic.

People in Ilorin speaks rustic Yoruba and have Yoruba culture and traditions deeply rooted in everything they do.
