Career / I Need Help. Please Save Me. Don't Let Me Lose It All. by waxyung(m): 10:19pm On Jun 13, 2022 |
I'm from a family of 3. The first of all three and I'm really undergoing the hardest phase of my life right now. Will be 31 next month and my life has been a mess. Depressive thoughts keep running through my head daily as it's now my new normal and I think I really need help. I never planned for any of this hardship. Infact during my undergraduate days I was the best student in my department and I think that was where I got it all wrong. I thought that was enough to give me the good life I've always envisage. Finish school. Get a job. And start a family. But it took a harsh turn that in turn gives me depression. Did my NYSC in Sokoto state 2019. Got back to Lagos with the hope of getting a job. I job hunted for months all to nothing. I attended series of interviews and still couldn't get a job. Living with my parents then and it wasn't a pleasant one anymore. I was desperate to get a good life for myself so I think getting a skill should do. I opted for photography. I learned it for 6 months and I grabbed a reasonable amount of it. After that I was in another state of raising money to get photography gears. I was unable to. I got an apartment later on because I can't stay with my parent forever. Couldn't keep up with bills. Bills upon bills upon bills. I'm just asking for help. Plsssss. At 31 I'm yet to even think of getting married or raising kids. I just want to get out of this brokeness and be able to fend for myself. Suicidal thoughts now become my day to day routine. I'm really at the verge of losing the grip of hope. I'll really appreciate if anybody can connect me to a Travel agency where I can work as a photographer as that aspect of photography is what I find interesting. And I do it very very well. Tourism too. You can run the hashtag "#AlaoLikeness" on all social media to get a glimpse of some of my shots. Please I really need help. Pls. Pls. 2 Likes 1 Share |
Nairaland / General / Sapa: What You Need To Know. by waxyung(m): 6:41pm On Jun 14, 2021 |
As Netizens, one needs to master the use of some frequent slang to have beautiful conversations on social media. These slangs are unavoidable because they’re now gaining currency as their usage keeps conversations flowing. Words like Mafo, Shalaye, E choke and many others have influenced our conversation on social media. They are like a code language that takes frequent social media users to decipher. The new code word gaining stature on social media today is “Sapa”. Nobody could say the origin of this word but its usage has given shape to its meaning. “Sapa” means a state of being extremely broke or poor. “Sapa” can also mean a particular stage in one’s life where even the barest minimum becomes unaffordable. It can lead to sudden mood swing, confusion, depression, and unexplained sadness. In other words, “Sapa” is just another fancy name for being broke or the culminating point of brokenness. It is accompanied by intense suffering and a splice of hunger. It is a gentle killer that can force you to become gentle, feeling stranded…and you can’t easily escape it. In one of Wizkid’s song titled “Thankful”, the term “Sapa” featured in it. The verse goes thus: “Who no know, make e come dey know o Sapa dey kill person o” Globally, “Sapa” is a pandemic to the homo sapien race. Acute Sapa can make you warm Eba. Unarguably, “Sapa” can make you cook “confusion rice” instead of “concoction rice”. You don’t need to be told about Sapa. When it hits you know immediately. I once overheard a father telling his lazy son that “Sapa shall not be defined to thee, Sapa explains itself when thee gets choked by it”. “Sapa” is that level when your brokenness is even broke. So many word variations have been coined from “Sapa”. Words like sapalation, sapacolate, sapatians, sapatarians, sapabena, sapasexual e.t.c. All these words are coined to suit your “Sapa” narratives. My favourite expression derived from “Sapa” is “Sapa bien merci” which has been agreed upon by social media users to mean “Sapa, please have mercy”. The only antidote to this “sapacious” malady is for one to hustle. Working hard will assassinate “Sapa” in your life and prevent its transfusion from you to the unborn generations. May the long hand of “Sapa” never locate us. Saying “Amen” is not enough. Accompanying it with hard work is. ……….because God does not work for you, he works with you. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Visit https://afromedites. for more interesting contents……….

Nairaland / General / Mafo: The Unbreakable Spirit by waxyung(m): 11:28pm On Feb 29, 2020 |
Mafo is a Yoruba word which literally means “Don’t break,” and figuratively “be strong, don’t be weak”. This is a popular street slang among Nigerians at the same time it is a powerful motivation. The spirit of Mafo is one you can’t underestimate. Mafo on the street is a mantra used to maintain an unbroken spirit and to revive our hopes. Mafo is similar to what Femi Osifisan expressed to in his popular poem “Homeless, Not Hopeless”. You might be homeless but don’t be hopeless. Hence, he’s indirectly saying “Mafo”. Mafo is a mantra that we should chew to maintain and sustain our candour in times of hardship................. continue reading on https://afromedites./2020/02/28/mafo-the-unbreakable-spirit/

Jokes Etc / Waka: The Strange Satisfying Dose by waxyung(m): 3:02pm On Feb 10, 2020 |
One of the things you cannot take away from Nigerians is their happiness. They derive joy in different ways which is why they are seen all over the world. Nigerians can survive anywhere because they possess their own peculiar way of deriving happiness and satisfaction. One of these ways is by throwing the vernacular word “Waka” around at anyone or anything that tries to mess with our peace by spreading our five fingers and pointing it in someone’s face. It gives us a lot of joy. I don’t know why. I guess it’s in our DNA. Or maybe it cures stress in this part of the world. “Waka” in this context isn’t the popular Yoruba music genre but the use of the five fingers to make an abusive gesture with the word “Waka” and any other abusive words you can find at the moment to give a complete dosage. According to Urban dictionary, “Waka” is “a common Nigerian variant of ‘Bleep You’. It is used with the expression of the five fingers spread wide and aimed at the person who triggered the reaction.” Well, apart from Nigerianizing the expression “Bleep you,” there are other ways “waka” is used: It could be used to tell someone rudely to ‘fashi‘ or leave. Naija Lingo, an online Nigerian Pidgin English dictionary explains “Waka” to be the word you utter usually followed by the five-finger-salute, it is a curse or swear word. For example: Na me you dey talk to? Waka! continue reading at https://afromedites./2020/02/10/waka-the-strange-satisfying-dose/?frame-nonce=5d558f7a0c&preview=true&iframe=true&calypso_token=61a8a490-8a29-4295-9613-d7e21ba90bcf
