This movie was preeetty boring, but the metaphor about over therapizing trauma was well executed.
The idea that constantly revisiting trauma, until the memory becomes more and more twisted that it loses all meaning.
I think it’s a solid critic of people that spend thousands of dollars paying someone to unearth poorly remembered memories in the pursuit of nothing
i didn’t call you my ex’s name because i miss him. i called you that because, for a split second, you reminded me so much of how deeply i was once in love that my brain associated you with the memory of his name. i love you and you know it.
Unfortunate greetings to you @OgbeniDipo
This message is not in anyway intent to educate you, you've descended below the capacity to retain any form of intelligence - it is intended to ridicule you.
Absolute wonderkids went to represent the country you claim to love more than us, they excelled wonderfully only for you to dogwhistle your fellow ewedu crooners to a space in order to ridicule them on the grounds of their ethnicity.
You and your fellow guttersnipes love to exist in the delusion that you're the most educated tribe - as someone who has twice whatever the height of your academic peak is, no modicum of education shines through you - just bubbles of intellectual fraud & disgusting bìgötry (I added the ami ohun to satisfy your insatiable need for cultural preservation.
For years, you hawked CV reviews like your life depended on it - when it stopped putting food on your table, you began to ridicule education to promote the akaranification & kukulization of the economy just because of your new job designation as Dean of Studies, Apoda Twitter.
It hurts me personally you know, that a good number of trees have to stay alive just to satisfy the oxygen need for people like you. People like you who play destructive roles in the society, who deserve to be melted into asphalt to fill potholes.
People like you are cancerous because your presumed academic journey & perceived exposure allows your to command a certain level audience when the strength of your intelligence can be measured in kilobytes.
Whatever Alex has done that you and your insiduous ilk suppose to imitate, celebrate, collaborate or encourage - you're tearing down at the expense of children who have done nothing to you.
Just because the covering duvet doesn't have pockets, motorcycles don't have conductors & we cannot put airconditioning units in tricycles - every single effort you commit to will convert to vain.
If the owners of the morning agree to initiate your progress, the custodians of the night will stage a protest.
We cannot be championing a campaign against olodo uprising only for our first major academic win as a country to surface weeks after - only for proglottides like yourselves to shit on it, just because it satisfies your bìgötry KPIs.
It will not be well with you.
What you should know about Outlier and its effect if you’re based in the UK. This has been over simplified, and is not finacial advice, do your own research. You have a personal tax allowance of £12,570 from HMRC to reduce your expected taxes each tax year. This allowance is applied to your primary job and based on your salary band determines your tax code which tells how much tax you’ll need to pay. Extra income like outlier could change your tax code.
That 50/50 you’re sharing from outlier still places the burden of tax on you, if your tax code goes up, you pay more tax and your take home pay will reduce. If you’re sponsored, your employer will be notified of this tax code change and that’s how your employer would know you’re working an extra job.
It’s like how people complain about how extra shifts feel like extra sharp money until HMRC waits for you in front to collect their major share.
You may outsource the outlier work to people who have the time to help you with it if you’d like, (Outlier it self is not illegal, it’s freelance work and you’re expected to file your self-assessment to HMRC), you however need to understand the finacial and immigration implications it could have on you based on your type of work and visa. Check your visa terms on work restrictions you may have.
I have had many people, even friends try to pressure-bomb me into entering into such arrangements, and I have declined because for me, it’s an unnecessary complication I can’t be bothered with. Do not allow yourself be pressured or guilt-tripped into hastily getting into it, take a pause and review your legal standing to first understand if you can afford the extra complications associated with it.
I’m an exceptional global UK talent.
That’s equivalent to expatriates in NG.
I visited my school for MA enrolment and the enrolment officer said “you’re on a talent visa not student? Wow, we are honoured to have you in our country.”
Nothing about me is average by God’s grace.
Fellow Nigerians, good morning.
I woke up this morning after my church service with a deeply reflective heart, and despite every constraint, I felt compelled to share these thoughts with you.
Many people do not truly understand the silent pains some of us carry daily—the private struggles, emotional burdens, and quiet battles we face while trying to survive and serve sincerely in difficult circumstances.
We now live in an environment that has become increasingly toxic, where the very system that should protect and create opportunities for decent living often works against the people—a society where intimidation, insecurity, endless scrutiny, and discouragement have become normal.
More painful is when some of those you associate with, believing you would find understanding and solidarity among them, become part of the pressure you face. Some who publicly identify with you privately distance themselves or join in unfair criticism.
We live in a society where humility is mistaken for weakness, respect is seen as a lack of courage, and compassion is treated as foolishness—a system where treating people equally is questioned simply because you refuse to worship status, tribe, class, or power.
Personally, I have never looked down on anyone except to uplift them. I have never used privilege, position, or resources to oppress others, intimidate the weak, or make people feel small. To me, leadership has always been about service, sacrifice, and helping others rise.
Let me state clearly: my decision to leave the ADC is not because our highly respected Chairman, Senator David Mark, treated me badly, nor because my leader and elder brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, or any other respected leaders did anything personally wrong to me. I will continue to respect them.
However, the same Nigerian state and its agents that created unnecessary crises and hostility within the Labour Party that forced me to leave now appear to be finding their way into the ADC, with endless court cases, internal battles, suspicion, and division, instead of focusing on deeper national problems and playing politics built more on control and exclusion than on service and nation-building.
Even within spaces where one labours sincerely, one is sometimes treated like an outsider in one’s own home. You and your team become easy targets for every failure, frustration, or misunderstanding, as though honest contribution has become a favour being tolerated rather than appreciated.
And when you choose to leave so that those you are leaving can have peace, and you step out into the cold, you are still maligned and your character is questioned. Despite all your efforts to continue working for a better Nigeria and engaging people with sincerity and goodwill, those who do not wish you well continue to attack your character and question your intentions.
There are moments I ask God in prayer: Why is doing the right thing often misconstrued as wrongdoing in our country? Why is integrity not valued? Why is the prudent management of resources, especially when invested in critical areas like education and healthcare, wrongly labelled as stinginess? Why are humility and obedience to the rule of law often taken to be weakness rather than discipline?
Let me assure all that I am not desperate to be President, Vice President, or Senate President. I am desperate to see a society that can console a mother whose child has been kidnapped or killed while going to school or work. I am desperate to see a Nigeria where people will not live in IDP camps but in their homes. I am desperate for a country where Nigerian citizens do not go to bed hungry, not knowing where their next meal will come from.
Yet, despite everything, I remain resolute. I firmly believe that Nigeria can still become a country with competent leadership based on justice, compassion, and equal opportunity for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
All this agenda is just to make women of other ethnicity to feel unwelcome into the igbo families, thereby discouraging them from marrying Igbo men.
Push back on their agenda now or it will stick and become a stigma.
Certainly not different from Ndi Ada chasing their bros wife.
Europeans have constantly denigrated, destroyed, enslaved & killed Igbo people throughout history, even during the Biafran war, they supported & supplied weapons that killed Ndi igbo but today, Igbo men are fighting for their right to call a white European woman an Igbo woman by
