Tofee:
Your life's story is like a frog in boiling water. Water around you is heating up slowly and you never realise until you're boiled alive. Your story is one of complacency and ignorance.

Observe the world, observe this pattern. Men like you, trapped in cycles of addiction and procrastination, indulgence and excess. No control, no desire for control. Completely oblivious to the decay and disorder this lifestyle brings until it's too late

You are trapped in habits and lifestyles that corrupt you, eat into your sanity and leave you a shallow withering husk of your true self. Where is your sense of adventure? Have you no pride or dignity? Brother, few will truly care and love you. For them, You must awaken.

You are too engrossed, too cosy and comfy in the grasp of momentary pleasure. But what is the cost? Who is paying for it? Understand, you are digging a hole with you right in the middle. By the time the veil is lifted, you will have no way to climb up. You MUST learn to resist.

Do not let a visit to the hospital, losing a wife or a house be your wake up call. The path you walk on leads there. This is not your story, not your destiny. Listen to my wake up call, be aware of your actions. You are not a frog. You are divine. You are potential

You live passively, stuck in a feedback loop, re-inforced by dopamine. Inaction, over indulgence and complacency has led you to this point. It's crucial now that you wake up and shake off the indifference. Embrace change, you can be better, you can be more. You owe it to yourself

Stop being comfortable. You have no vision. You are happy with less because you lack the courage to go after more. Do not turn a blind eye on how limiting this is. This ignorance is the hill you will die on. Forgotten, with no glory or accomplishments to your name. Be more.

I'm happy, I don't want to be better. Do you think your competition is speaking this nonsense? If you do not get better you will be left behind. Left behind means forgotten. Nobody is going to hang back and wait for you. This is the law of the land. Learn the rules.

You'll start tomorrow? There is NO tomorrow, it doesn't exist. Tangible results today far outweighs the promise of tomorrow. Reality check, It's already too late. More likely than not, you have a mountain to climb. It will overwhelm you. But, start somewhere. Take a step forward


Listen to my call to action. The time to invoke change is NOW. If you wish to have a positive transformation you MUST see reality for what it is. Stop hiding behind negligence and incompetence. It's time you got out of the pot. I will show you how.


To fight a demon you need to know it's name. Introspection is your best friend.
Really dig deep into your self and seperate the filth from the rest. Be brutally honest - time for bullshit has passed. It's time for a cleansing ritual.

Do NOT overthink. Avoid this, keep it as simple as possible and take it one step at a time. Physical and financial. Start with them. When you start improving the two, the ripple effect will cause a lot of knots in your life to untangle. Make improvements everyday.

Prioritize action and speed. Don't dwell on thinking for too long, immediately make a plan and get to work. Remember this is a marathon, so you better get started running. Make goals and stop obsessing over them. Split them into daily tasks and obsess over these. Greater ROI.

Breaking ingrained habits is no fun, but it is absolutely necessary. Remember the frog in the pot, he's aware of the boiling water now. All he needs to do is jump. In your case, break your limiting habits. You can do this by building systems.

Too many people live life unaware of their true potential. They are far too happy with being where they are even if it means self destruction. This will lead you nowhere. Boiling frog syndrome is a perfect metaphor to understand this.

Start before it's too late.

You motivational speakers say a lot, without saying anything reasonable. Just shhh and allow hard working youngmen be!!

These drug smugglers in Naija are not smart.

You are carrying 5 bags. Are you relocating? Nobody on a tourist or business visa travels with 5 bags. You will immediately be pulled over for questioning and secondary inspection. Once your stuff is swabbed and fed into the spectrophotometer, any indication of narcotics will warrant an xray of your bags, shoes, laptop and any liquids you are carrying. This could also lead to a full body search and scan. Of course sniffer dogs are very much in operation to sniff out any drug-laden bags in the carriage area.

There is no way to smuggle any amount of narcotics across any international airports these days. The technology to catch anyone is up to date. Only an olodo will attempt it.

Why will someone take such risks and end up getting sent to 10-20 years in prison for this? Why not learn a skill for one year, get mentorship for 1-2 years, then work hard and smart over the next 10-15 years: WON'T YOU MAKE IT IN LIFE? Clean money that adds no sorrow?

Dem tell you say dey wan work hard. 15 years to gather money wey dem go make in one successful trip😄😄

Richtaiwo:
Stop being clever by half. If the emboldened is what you understand from the paragraph you quoted, then sorry, I can't help you. Also, don't quote me again. Search the forum, you will see your category, go discuss with them.

Keep quiet......Your comment made no sense and ur thought process was all over the place. Federal Unity schools were created to foster unity among different regions in Nigeria but also only the brightest students were to be admitted strictly on Merit. By scoring well above the FCEE cut-off marks. Unfortunately this has been ruined through corruption and poor regulation. PRO-UNITATE

DoWhatThouWilt:
She is a professor. She worked hard for it and she probably has knowledge she would like to share but she knows she is black (Of African origin) and she understands her environment very well. So she decided to avoid EVERY interview.

That is HUMILITY. Humility is not weakness. When you are HUMBLE, you will have common sense that will make you take wise decisions.

Before you japa to work or further your education in a white man's land, drop that your "i beta pass my neighbor" mentality if you want to live in peace overseas.

That mentality may have worked for you very well here in this lawless terrain but it will NEVER work for you in their land.

BE HUMBLE

What does a witch-hunt have to do with lack of humility. You dunce!!

pocohantas:
It is only on Nairaland you guys ask this question. In the real world, there are several poor couples. In fact, there are more struggling couples/families than the affluent ones. They are so much that conversations centered around having fewer kids began to come up.

The problem is many of you want Lambo on a 504 budget. Accept it or not, humans exist in different class and forms. It is nothing to be bitter about like many of you do. Just find a woman that aligns with you and marry. I am sure there is a woman that likes you, but you don't want her because she is not boogie. Accept her and start a family.

I am sure there is a man that aligns within your tax bracket. Accept him and start a family.

mikeapollo:
How the man dey handle both ''thick'' women na wa! Even one woman is enough work.

I dey tell you bro also those women look like Southerners and the police officer is from the north.

Feldie:
you are just trying to rope men into women's crimes. I have seen my sisters totally bodied their own children as though were doing some sort of guerilla warfare. Now imagine what they would do if they had strange kids living with them. In fact my eldest sister lived with my half sister as a child and she beat her up every day but didn't do it when the husband was around. Yes she'd still scold and berate her but won't go full commando when he's around. She still tells the story sometimes and never says anything bad about the man. She has no reason to lie since they're both dead. If these children were being abused by the men they would say so when being questioned by the police but they never do.

God bless you bro.......... Notice how all the female members on this thread instead of acknowledging female evil acts decided to shift the blame on Men.
Do you know why? They all have that inherent hatred for any child within their care that is not biologically theirs. Thank you for sharing your personal story

Mathewrichard99:
Finally, hope we all remember that Shop rite shops and other retail stores outlets have been closing down gradually since time of GEJ.... Only got worsens during Buhari and finally collapsed during BAT...... Some foreign companies too packed up and left during GEJ, many during Buhari and lots during BAT...... Nigeria government needs to do better than continuously looking for Direct Foreign Investments abroad, wasting resources in Billions of dollars.... What have you done to secure the already DFI in your country?

This is a lie from the pit of hell, ShopRite and other Retail outlets sales were booming during GEJ presidency and this continued into Buhari's first three yrs in office, afterwards the economic faced a downturn which got way worse with Tinubu's economic reforms. Big Pharmaceutical companies, FMCG, Retail outlets, Multinational corporations have all exited the country in droves in the past 3 years.

1. When a colony becomes overcrowded, the queen leaves with thousands of worker bees to form a new colony. This is called swarming.
During this process:
Bees temporarily gather on any surface nearby — tree branches, walls, cars, buses.
They rest there while scout bees search for a permanent hive location.
The cluster can stay for minutes or several hours.
👉 A parked or slow-moving commercial bus would be a perfect temporary landing spot.


2. The Bus Had a Strong Smell That Attracted Them
Bees are highly sensitive to scent. They can be attracted by:
- Sweet drinks spilled inside (Fanta, Coke, malt)
- Perfumes or body sprays
- Food residue
- Honey-like smells
- Bright floral designs on the bus
In busy areas like Lagos Island, buses often carry all kinds of scents.

In short, A migrating colony temporarily resting — not an attack.

Bro this happened in a very urban area (Lagos island) not some sparse populated rural village. Not everything in life has a scientific explanation to it.

Did I hear third semester, ah ah abeg o

Baba I think say na only me hear 3rd semester

Shonghai:
Are you sure this background is Lekki?

Be like Festac

Who is that? never heard of him tho

You must be joking, Nigerian ladies avoid dating light skinned guys, they don't like dating anyone who might look more attractive than them.
Ask around 90% of women would tell you dark skin over light skinned. Just work on levelling up financially and build ur confidence.

Zyxsc:
Most likely a government insider job.
He might have made a wild discovery that the government doesn't want to leak

Lol............too much Hollywood movies.

Hi Carol.............we are John Cena #Pluribus

Nsogbu!! Why can't people just learn to ignore minor infractions that can lead to major altercations. Why seize their football because you were hit during play

pocohantas:
Care to share the difference between you and your roommate and the NIGERIAN BANNIES you always insult? Because of food and N200, you went to visit a gay man. You didn't come up with an idea to carry cement at a site. It was to go eat off a gay man.

What if he gave you iPhone 17 ? You will lift your n____ up.



You went ahead to call him werey. Someone that fed you and your heterosexual roomie.

Can you see you are more disrespectful, ungrateful and scheming than bannies? All you lack is opportunity to fleece victims.

If many of you are women, you will spread your legs for speedy biscuit.

I hate you pocohantas

Chernobyl !!!!!!!

This is grease

a high school musical


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oKPYe53h78

John Travolta was 23yrs when he acted in Grease...... how can you compare that to a 40yr old Mercy Johnson acting as an SS3 student

I am surprised nobody on this thread actually understands why Governor Dapo Abiodun grabbed that Envelope from his Mom.

I hope for Nairaland sake that this is a paid/sponsored advert

Analyscam50:
You go explain tire
No evidence
All women yearn to get married

Not if they are lesbian hiding in the closet.

I can see some Nairalanders saying ICAN is not worth it. We know their type
Back to topic, When did this happen tho? Because the last ICAN exam was in May, so why are we hearing about this now.

Is she adopted or from a different woman because she doesn't look like her mom at all

No wonder this Dubai skanks come back to Nigeria soulless, joyless even when they have made money. I did a job for one who was just cold, distant with a deep hatred for men even though she had sex with young boys all the time. And she also smelt awful

Dogalmighty17:
What are Christian values if I may ask? Supporting slavery? Selling women as property? Killing of infants? Genocide? Are these the values you speak of? Because if they are, then you are right. Your bible supports all of these. Don't take my word for it, open its pages. It is right there.

Point me to where Charlie Kirk supported slavery, genocide and d rest crap you speak of.

Dogalmighty17:
Just last week alone, he said gun deaths should be regarded as an acceptable reality of achieving the American dream. Kirk also is known to have called empathy a weakness.

No sympathies for him. He has long promoted violence and death of innocents. Charlie Kirk and his Turning Point USA PAC sponsored and mobilize 80 buses full of MAGA terrorists to invade Congress on January 6th. Charlie got exactly as he deserved.

Charlie was full of hate for women, immigrants and people of color. He lived a hateful life. He was 31 at the time of his death.

He spoke out against Evil, talked about how christian values were being eroded in America, he was against transgenderism, gay marriage and other deviant behaviours.
He lived an amazing life, had a beautiful wife and two kids. Also he was always open to discourse on issues not violence. RIP Charlie Kirk

dettolgel:
Ozempic if you know you know. That is the new fad, watch out it will hit naija soon

It won't............. Nigerians are celebrated for being fat while Skinny people get mocked especially Skinny men.

Let's be honest, this is quite poor from someone who just got 100k dollars. I am not just talking about the amount, She can comfortably sponsor 10 future basketball players with equipments, BB sneakers and training needs without mentioning the amount attached to it.

Bullshito Brown..............Do not make blanket statements based on your personal experience.
