Some of you have diminished self esteem bc you work jobs that are too easy for you.

You're wired differently. Body electrifies itself to motion with thrill, challenge, and meaning.

So you get bored, your performance suffers, then lose confidence.

You may not realise this yet..

[𝕾𝖎𝖗 𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖘 @eagleseyeinc]

people respect you more when you're mean and cold. familiarity kills respect. the moment someone gets too comfortable with you, they stop valuing you. they stop being careful with you, all cos they already know you'll stay. they already know there are no consequences and you give them that certainty by being too easy to have. start saying what it is instead of managing everyone else's feelings first. the moment you stop protecting people from the truth, they start respecting you for who you are.

To the highly intelligent man, logic even more than money is his God. He will worship it vigorously, dismissing anything that does not obey it, believing it contains the answers to all things even as he perverts and corrupts it to suit his biases.

He will cling to reason desperately. He will not relegate it until it fails him in the most catastrophic of ways, and he becomes intimately aware of its acute limitations. Then and only then will he gain an appreciation for chaos, death, paradox and spirituality. Then and only then will he realise logic does not have the answers to all things. Only then will he realise how prideful and ignorant he has been.

It is for these reasons he has love: to show him the foolishness of his ways - that his reason is not a God that governs all, but a tool of understanding that can explain many things, but not all things, that can help him master many things, but not everything.

There exists a reality beyond the limitations of his logic, and it will batter down his doors in his smug, self-protective hubris until he is humbled. He is a zealot, and he will come kicking and screaming. For a man’s rationality to fail him then is a type of initiation - it is for this reason he must come to know heartbreak.

I think this is wrong. Whatever misgivings you have, don't curse yourself like this, as you never know what could happen tomorrow. The church has many wonderful people who have done a lot of good things.

I used to be against everything about that particular church until a close relative was sick and the church’s own hospital took her in and saved her.

God showed me how wrong I was, and I promised myself never to say anything negative about them again. They can always do better, but they have already done a lot of good.

Welcome to the world of the flawed.

I watched a documentary on Leonardo da Vinci recently, and I kept waiting for the part where they talk about how great he was. The paintings, the inventions, the genius; You know the story they always tell.

But what got me was something else entirely. The man rarely finished anything.

The Last Supper took three years. His patrons were begging him. Writing letters. Threatening him. He would disappear for days, show up, stare at the wall, add one brushstroke, and leave again.

They genuinely thought something was wrong with him.

And there’s the part nobody talks about - Leonardo was illegitimate. His mother abandoned him. He was barred from every professional institution in Florence.

The guilds, the academies, everything a talented young man was supposed to enter. The system looked at him and said no. Why? Because of who his parents were.

So he did something that changed history. He kinda stopped reading what other men had written and started looking at things directly. Birds. Water. The human body. He dissected over 30 corpses. Many of his moves were illegal, but whatever was driving the guy was too strong.

His notebooks were an absolute mess. Seven thousand pages. Written in mirror script so people couldn't steal his ideas. Jumping from how birds fly to how water moves to the architecture of the human heart - his mind was always on overdrive.

The most creative human being who ever lived.

His exclusion is what made him observe instead of repeat patterns. What If they had let him in, he probably would have learned what everyone else learned and produced what everyone else produced. The rejection forced him to see the world differently. The obsession kept him hungry for 67 years.

He died at 67 and his last words were an apology.

He said he had offended God because his work never reached the quality it should have.

The greatest of all time. Still felt like he wasn't enough.

Again, welcome to the world of the flawed.

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

As a rule of thumb, if you hear oyibo consistently people praising an African leader (Ian Khama, Nelson Mandela, Blaise Campaore), that leader was working for them and not for his people.

And vice-versa, if you hear them ritually blacken an African leader's name (Sani Abacha, Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin), go and carefully examine everything you think you know about that leader.

Because while selling "Abacha is a murderous, oppressive devil" to you, the same people were bombing innocent Nigerians, and giving weapons training to Nigerians in exile so they could start an insurgency that would also kill innocent Nigerians, just to get rid of the same Abacha.

Kayode Fayemi and Wole Soyinka know all about this because they were being handled by the CIA during that period. If Nigeria was a remotely sovereign country, those 2 old bastards would have been beheaded for high treason.

Instead it's me who is in exile and the people who completely betrayed their country in the name of "we fought Abacha" are now in power. Nigeria's heroes are dead and their killers are in power.

[The Spearhead @Spearhead_Af]

Mahdi Shehu on Alleged 1995 U.S.-Backed Plot Against Abacha

Mahdi Shehu’s account of the 1995 Durbar Hotel bombing speaks to foreign interference, regime change politics, and the hidden hands that have shaped Nigeria’s political history.

According to Shehu, a U.S. Embassy political officer approached him in Kaduna, offered him money, and asked him to drop a parcel at the Durbar Hotel as part of what he described as a campaign against the Abacha government. Shehu says he refused, only for the hotel to be bombed shortly after, with journalist Bagauda Kaltho later linked to the incident.

This story forces a larger question: how many times has Nigeria’s instability been engineered, sponsored, or encouraged by foreign powers, only to be later presented to us as our own failure? This is why Africans must pay closer attention to the history we are told, the history that is hidden, and the people who benefit from our chaos.

This is actually a brilliant observation that deserves a proper answer. You are not wrong about what you are seeing. But what you are describing is exactly how languages disappear without anyone noticing.

Adamawa alone has over 40 documented languages. Bura, Vere, Chamba, Gaanda, Lala, Bacchama, Bata, Marghi and more and no they are not variations as you pointed out.

But most of them are slowly being swallowed by Hausa and Fulani because those are the languages of trade, mobility and survival.

So yes, your Borno security guard speaks Shuwa Arabic and your Sokoto okada man speaks Hausa and they understand each other perfectly. That does not mean only one language exists. It means one language won the economic argument. This is what linguists call language assimilation. The dominant language does not erase the others overnight. It just makes them less useful for daily survival until the younger generation stops learning them entirely.

Now here are the facts. Ethnologue, which is the world's most authoritative database on languages, currently documents 520 living indigenous languages in Nigeria alone. Not dialects. Languages. Nigeria has also already lost 12 indigenous languages or more to extinction. Gone forever.

The Middle Belt is where this becomes undeniable. Plateau State alone has over 50 distinct languages. Keyword "Dinstinct".

Benue has Tiv, Idoma, Igede and more. Taraba has communities that cannot understand their neighbours two villages away without a translator. Your Yoruba example actually proves the point perfectly. The fact that a Yoruba person can move across the Southwest and be understood is evidence of one dominant language absorbing regional variations over centuries. That process happened. It is still happening everywhere else in Nigeria right now.

Now I am willing to bet you have never heard of Hyam, Ngas, Mwaghavul, Berom, Amo, Buji, Sura, Anaguta, or Irigwe from Plateau State. Or Kilba, Huba, Bura-Pabir, and Chibok from Borno. Or Mumuye, Jenjo, Yukuben, and Wurkum from Taraba. Or Tur, Nyandang, Kugama and Taram further into the riverine communities nobody talks about. Or what about Igala, Ebira, Bassange, Bassa-Nge, Kakanda and Oworo from Kogi alone. I have not even touched Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo, or Nasarawa yet. You want to know exactly where each of these is spoken? You will have to tour Nigeria for that. And I promise you, this country will humble you in ways no map ever could. The 500 languages are not cap. Most of them are just quietly dying (Bura has an estimated 11,000 speakers with most young Bura people now not able to speak the language) while we debate whether they exist. And that is the real conversation Nigeria should be having.

I am bringing back this post because I just saw what Frank's estranged wife posted.

In all she said, she still didn't admit that she slept with Chike while being married.

Tell me...

What wife goes to the length she went to do "FBI" if it wasn't premeditated and a plan to destroy him because he had caught her cheating and she became dangerous?

I am not even here to defend Frank on his cheating allegations, I just want you men to know why you must have the courage to walk away when you catch your women in infidelity.

She said she had his passwords for 3 months.

Spying on Frank but accusing Frank that he breached her privacy? 😂

You see how women are very manipulative and unaccountable?

There is nothing she will release to the public that will erase her shame.

Infact, the more she talks, the more she exposes herself.

Frank will be fine, but she will live with the tag of an adulterous wife till she dies.

And that's a stain no sensible woman wants.

She destroyed her marriage because of a dick of a man that is 10 years younger than she is.

Shame
