For better or worse, this is an evidence-based world.
Thinking that you will get in without the required evidence is unrealistic.
For instance, when someone says, "I have a 3rd class but I am very smart, even smarter than some 1st class."
I don't doubt you. But you need to bring evidence of that smartness.
Do you have an advanced degree that cures the 3rd class?
Have you built a best-selling app?
Or created a successful business?
Or acquired some difficult certifications?
And so on.
In short, you will need to provide proof of whatever it is you say, especially if you are hoping to get a benefit from making such statements.
Unsubstantiated assertions hold little weight in these proceedings. Matter of...fact.
When men are ruthless we implore them to open their hearts, but when their hearts bleed because they listened, we tell them to toughen up. We expect compassion from men who learned not to give it, because we first denied compassion to the men they used to be.
When they bleed and need us most, we tell them to harden. Yet when we need them most, we beg them to soften if only to care enough to help us. We have no respect for the soul of man, only his function and how he may serve us.
“Be soft enough to serve us, but hard enough not to disgust or burden us”
We forge stone hearts in men through our neglect and lack of care, but then complain when they no longer bleed to indulge the wants or romantic whims of others.
There is no other creature alive in this domain or on this Earth that is so thoroughly misled, that is pushed into one direction so emphatically only to be expected to manifest its opposite when it’s convenient.
Truly then, it is a wonder and great testament to the beauty of man that more of them haven’t gone insane.
No matter how kind you are as a man, or how good a provider you are as a husband, it doesn't guarantee perfection.
There's always going to be at least one man out there whom your woman admires more than she admires you.
And she may even feel sexually attracted to him, sometimes.
But she just chose to stay "loyal" to you.
Because she is in control of her feelings.
End.
Their counterarguments are the rationalisations they tell themselves when they feel they must defend their past choices, because the generalisation you made touched on something that indicted them.
Thou shalt not argue with self-preserving egos, only well intended truth seekers.
Love is the art of the soul giving itself to birth a higher version of the beloved - to prioritise their greatness over your own by finding your glory in them.
When each does this for the other, you are in paradise.
MTN didn’t have the courtesy to give customers an explanation of what the hell happened yesterday.
Customer feedback is dead here. Almost like people in this country are animals not worthy of some explanation or respect.
One of the values my parents instilled in me was to help others without expecting anything in return. Not everyone will repay your kindness with kindness. That’s about who they are, not who you are. So keep helping, keep being kind & Allah will place kind people in your life!
In the old days, there were good men who could make bad men tremble.
They knew what a predator looked like, and could become enough of a monster long enough to defeat a monster.
But nowadays, far too many men are soft and cowardly, so the predators are in a feeding frenzy.
These 60-70 year old men are apparently among the beneficiaries of Kano State’s mass wedding. 🤣🤣
60-70year old men getting married through a government sponsored mass wedding? WTF is this? 😭🤦🏽♀️
NORTHERNERS! why ? 😭
HAUSA PEOPLE! why? 🤦♀️
Stupid Nigerian: Iran should not have nukes. You want a Muslim country to have nuclear weapons? They will use them to wipe out the whole world and everyone not Muslim.
ME: Pakistan is a Muslim country with nukes, and you are still alive. Why has Pakistan not wiped you off?
Stupid Nigerian: Not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims.
ME: But only a Christian country has ever used a nuclear weapon on civilians, not military assets. In fact, twice.
Are Christians still not terrorists by your standards?
You see, sometimes stupidity is genetic. Some of you were born naturally Stupid because your parents were stupid.
That is why, as stupid as you are, you should marry someone smart; some of your children can escape this stupidity from your gene pool.
Women’s body change after childbirth has always been a disrespectful topic here. Some even use it as a justification to take another wife because their wife is no longer attractive. But what about the fact that the handsome fit guy she married has turned into Temu Mr Ibu with pot belly fat and no neck after just few years of marriage. At least she went through childbirth. Why are you a man and looking 5years pregnant???
OPay is worth $4B, and all of its wealth is built in Nigeria.
PalmPay is worth $1B, with Nigeria as the only market.
OPay wants to list in the US stock.
PalmPay eyes China stock.
You make money here, but want us left out of the gains?
We’ll fight this!
