Three blessings. Life, knowledge, consciousness. Three curses. Life, knowledge, consciousness. One, then another.

Classic strawman argument: exaggerate the opponent’s argument and then use it to deflect from the real issue.

You were not accused of running a shadow budget. The IMF noted that certain expenses amounting to 8tn were not reflected in budget expenditure. Just explain that. Q

[UG🇵🇹 @UgwunnaEjikem]

Yes. Unfortunately capitalism and life’s realities will force people to wake up.

If y’all aren’t rich rich, as a man you must help your wife, as a woman you must help your husband or your marriage suffers.

Here's how you celebrated him👇

You own the highest title in the league of hypocritical idiots.
You bitter f*ol with a victim mentality

Don't make your spouse sound like the consolation prize in your own growth.

A lot of people say "my partner was not my spec" as if they are being emotionally mature, but half the time they are just preserving an old fantasy & asking their partner to feel honoured that they were chosen above it. There are kinder ways to say you grew up.

Your "spec" may have been formed when beauty meant whatever your friends, music videos & insecure boyhood talk had agreed to praise. If life later teaches you better, thank the person who opened your eyes. Do not make them stand beside the old fantasy forever. It can even be cruel. & they may struggle to tell you because they love you, or are still held down by insecurity.

You may think you're saying "I chose substance over my spec", but your partner may hear that there is still some private image they're being measured against. Love should not require someone to keep competing with a fantasy your younger self invented.

Do not turn an old shallow preference into a permanent footnote on someone who is sharing a life with you.

Usual routine for Brazil now. Win the group, get past non-European sides, lose to the first European side they face in the knockouts. Six in a row. Three of the usual powers (France, Netherlands & Germany) then three "outsiders" with a great generation (Belgium, Croatia, Norway).

One mentality I’m glad I outgrew is not wanting to come off as “too interested” with the women I like.
Because it only ever led to anxiety, over-analyzing, and calibration.
I’m sorry, but I like you and I want to create opportunities for romance. It’s not a crime.

[cozy boy™ @Mr_Lu3se]

I hate the mentality of "I'm not going to appreciate a person for doing good because that's what I expect them to do" and they always use that useless analogy of "we don't congratulate a fish for swimming". It's so fucking stupid and a sad way to look at life.

The IMF’s revelation about the Government spending equivalent to 2% of Nigeria’s GDP outside the approved budget- - silence from lovers of Nigeria.

Reports emerge of funds allocated to fake departments and agencies within the Government - - silence again from lovers of Nigeria.

This is exactly how to love Nigeria.

The senate impeached Enwerem claiming he of falsified his documents, which had his name as Evans not Evan. This was a major political scandal in 1999.

27 years later, the APC led government says you can float a federal agency without their knowledge.

This is retrogression.

[stache X. @ElStachioo]

A few thousand men are running loose with the wealth of 200 million+ current and future generations. The Senate is nonexistent, the EFCC and ICPC are compromised, and there’s effectively no oversight. Nobody is keeping these people in check. What a shame.

@eta_habyb Half baked public finance reform. Remove costly subsidies, change tax laws, but refuse to make budgeting realistic, publish implementation reports on time, or be transparent on out-of-budget expenditure & debt.

We need better representation at NASS. The TRS was approved too fast

They wanna wait for marriage to act right but a man has to be more than a husband without even dating them yet . Awwwn

[Jade Osiberu @jadeosiberu]

I know a number of people who didn’t marry their “spec” but are in the healthiest marriages I know. Their spec was typically whatever was culturally deemed to be at the apex of the attractiveness pyramid when they were growing up. For a lot of guys in my generation, it was the music video “vixens” from the late 90s/early 2000s Hip & R&B music videos with ‘coke bottle figures’ and or light skinned eurocentric features. When it’s time to find a partner for the very serious endeavor of sharing a life with, that “spec” is simply inadequate as a measure of compatibility and that’s understandable. The foolishness though is communicating it as though their partner somehow didn’t measure up to their “spec” instead of simply admitting that the idea of their spec was stupid all along and a young boy’s lack of wisdom of what makes a good life partner.

Communicating publicly or even privately to your partner that they weren’t your spec to begin with may seem harmless, after-all you’re just being honest. But subconsciously, it’s an ego trip for you who “settled” and for your the partner, it’s a chip they will always carry on their shoulder that to you, they aren’t quite enough. They’re missing something you had always longed for, so much so that you still consider it to be your “spec”. It’s an unnecessary mind fuck and a cruel thing to say about somebody who is sharing a life with you. No matter how flowery you are with the compliments that come after. You’ve already knocked them down several pegs.

If the point is to say your spec changed then talk about the stupidity of having a spec to begin with. Because I’ve never heard anyone in these situations talk about character attributes being their spec, it’s always superficial stuff. Or speak about how meeting your partner opened your eyes to what true beauty is. Speak in ways that elevate and affirm your partner.

[bandito💜 | comfort food @ogheneyxle]

it is very easy to identify an evil man, or evil in men. there’s a social understanding of what that is. for evil in women or an evil woman? there’s too much subjectivity and it is that gray area that a lot of women exploit. “is he complaining?”, “marry first”, “you know women”
