NIGERIANS MISINTERPRET FLEXING/ BALLING FOR RICHES AND COMFORT

Image



It's always about how he/she looks.

How much is spent 

The perfume

The car

The glam and generosity.

Isn't it contradictory that a person in his will to attain success is supposed to save up and invest for a better future ( delayed gratification), yet an important criteria in today's world ,you're judged by your ability to spend unceremoniously, irrespective of whatever you have going on(long term or short term).


The thought of this probably makes sense to you now, but in the position of comparison, a man who spends 5 million naira in the club but has a total of 10 million naira is accorded a certain respect and considered richer than someone who owns a business that makes 200 thousand naira weekly.

How ironical!!


The society is like a doctrine where we just grow up into existing ideologies without questioning the rationale behind such acts / beliefs. 

The worship of money subconsciously alters our decision making especially when it's lavishly spent! 

The pressure to create a sustainable market in the long run is difficult when there's a lack of patience.

What is the exception? Maybe if somehow you own a fucking house and multi-million naira business and still find a way to be a lavish spender, I guess that would be the proper definition of a successful person in Nigeria.

Poverty is most probably a root cause, but the lack of proper reorientation is a problem.

No one seems to care anymore.

As long as it looks like a snake, it's definitely a snake!


From a logical standpoint when you don't spend or look lavish it's assumed you have nothing going on! 

Most of us are the culprits of judgement( the halo effect) which

 includes me sadly.

CAN A GOOD GIRLFRIEND CHEAT? HOW TO HANDLE IT

Time and time over it keeps happening, Men cannot handle a cheating woman despite the knowledge that a large percentage of women cheat. The average man is more concerned about ego instead of how he's been treated. Do I think cheating is bad? Definitely  Do I encourage cheating women? No This article is focused on paying attention and receiving the best of affection from women, rather than finding solace in exclusive loyalty which is very rare. In the context of this conversation( a good girlfriend) is someone who puts you first, cooks and cares for you, motivates and assists you in a way that the average girl doesn't. Now the question beckons, why should I throw all of these attributes and genuine affection away because of who a woman fucks or makes out with? Reality is that the average woman cheats and somehow most Men think theirs is a Saint. So whose babe are other men fucking?!! Isn't it laughable and quite delusional. Men need to realize that only in marriage should ch...

" GO AND MARRY" AS A YARDSTICK FOR FAILURE.

 When you pay attention to the intent of a word of advice, then you can gauge if it's from a place of care, concern or disguised mockery. The " Go and marry" tag falls in line with the disguised mockery often packaged as a genuine concern. Age, finance and status are mostly the determinant of these fallacious shows of sportsmanship as it is always a subtle way to remind you of your decline. Rarely does happiness, companionship or even peace of mind be considered as a criteria for the supposed " Go and marry" advice. Isn't it surprising that if there is a refusal on your part to cling onto the marriage ship, they throw in a subtle jibe and undertone caricature, reminding you of your anticipated decline and risk of losing out in life. Every other achievement is discarded and you are faced with multiple reasons why you are on your way to doom. Then the game starts, Pressure from onlookers Constant reminder of your lack of purpose (marriage wise) Subtle jibe and...

THE WAITING GAME ( WHO MAKES THE FIRST CALL)

 One of problems associated with a bad friendship, heartbreak or betrayal is the act of getting defensive and sensitive, there by Losing the naivety that makes you open minded. We start to care about not being treated the same way, even when it's glaring that the situation is different and it's a new person. Every move is questioned. What is the motive behind the compliment? Am I doing too much? Maybe I should wait for the first message? The above keeps ringing inside your head. The crazy thing is a part of you justifies this supposed metal awareness, you validate every curiosity with " protecting your heart". And then it becomes obvious in the long run that the other party too feels this way. Who breaks the ice? When two people have the same conditioning, who is willing to be the bigger person? The genuine dove-like attitude becomes lost in the game, it becomes stressful to bond. Your mind tricks you to find an escape route even before getting locked up. Quick sex an...
