“I cannot find anybody capable of producing a solution to the suffering masses of this country. The most unfortunate thing is that the much talked about civilian regime is going to be worse than the military administration.” -Chief Níyì Òníòrorò, The Country is Hard, 1968.
@Controversial9j It is seboherreic dermatitis. Difficult to get rid of. Use Nizoral shampoo and triple action creams for it, to manage it, but you might also get topical steroid withdrawal symptoms and that's when the war starts. So, when you go to the hospital, tell them never to give sterioid
@_DeejustDee If so, explain or attach evidences. If you are just talking from your gut, you may actually be wrong and that may mean blood on your hands.
No disrespect, a person is in a good economy like Germany with jobs existing, able bodied, sane & chooses not to work! Such is a waste of human existence & Oxygen. Much better dead.
They are like that person given a talent and went to hide it. Such a person deserves nothing
In Rwanda, 71 year old Callixte Nzamwita has reportedly spent 55 years living in isolation due to an extreme fear of women.
He built a fence around his home at 16 to avoid contact and has relied on neighbors leaving food and water from a distance ever since.

I get one guy wey get 6 babes at a time. All of them know say na poly him be. He no hide am, nor deceive them. No car and he no dey lie give babe say he get money and all of them still dey support am. This thing go embarrass my guy.
Omo, I just hear one new format wey some guys dey use chop girls o! 😂
Dem go carry babe inside car, then branch one building site wey still dey under construction.. the site no be their own o. Dem go leave the babe inside the car with AC on, come down to greet the workers and engage them in small talks. Before dem leave, dem go bring out small cash give the workers. The babe go dey observe for inside car
Dem go now enter the car and tell the babe say the workers dey really try, say e don spend many millions on the project and still get plenty money to spend so the building go finish on time.
Omo, from that moment, the babe go begin reason am differently. She go wan loyal because she don see say the guy get serious investment and plenty expenses. She fit even begin manage herself financially, with the hope say when the project finally finish, she go enjoy the benefits too.
I believe that success, relative as it might be, is indicated more by culture than by any one notable event. What I mean is that success is not a lottery. It is systematic, structural and habitual.
Like me, most of my friends are children or descendants of people who made something significant of their lives. And while not many of them are particularly liquid, it may be false to say they don’t have at least some privilege in the conventional sense.
What I have observed, however, is that people from such backgrounds are more likely to organise themselves and their resources, prioritise relationships, avoid waste, and work with a sense of urgency that sometimes borders on restlessness. They can be labelled as “too serious”.
As if they want to maintain and sustain a streak of socioeconomic security and improve it.
By contrast, most of the people I have met who constantly talk about “hustling” and making money, and I say this sincerely, though I could be wrong, seem a little too relaxed about it all. They can spend hours watching TikTok videos, almost as though to distract themselves from reality. They know several Netflix series and can spend an entire afternoon and evening just talking. They might work, but it’s more intense and unstructured than consistent.
Interestingly, they are also more likely to be swayed by trends and the latest ideas about how to “make it”.
It is fascinating to observe.
And it reminds me of the statement by Naval Ravikant: “Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.”
Anyone who has watched people obsess over the apparent drive and ambition of successful individuals, only to get close enough to discover that those individuals are not particularly driven in practice, but merely seem to hang around like children who have grown bored with their toys, will understand what I mean.
I’d observe and think: how do you claim to want a better life and great fulfilment, yet remain lackadaisical about redefining or strengthening your position to increase your chances? Then, every so often, you become intensely interested in some new idea, try it out in the hope that it will be the one that changes everything, and eventually return to the same pattern.
Perhaps a key distinction both groups is that some people treat success as a way of life, while others treat it as an event they are waiting to experience. And it’s all good.
