Nobody hates the poor, but avoid the poor as much as you can.
You don’t hate the poor yet you avoid them 😏 there’s no greater hatred than that.

The poor is hated even of his own neighbor, but the rich hath many friends.
You can learn a thing or two from reading the book of Proverbs

I understand all that, no matter how much you help the poor they will still say bad about you?

I married a woman based on the misconception that she would be a responsible woman just for the fact that she was raised by teachers who are her foster parents.

She was in marriage and still jumped from one married man to another, about few months back, I just discovered she's a lesbian (although I had been suspecting her,I even asked her and she denied it).I also caught her with a intimacy gadget (very big vibrating preek).

Coming across that woman is my greatest regret in life.


Damn! shocked

For deep in your heart you know that you have also talked about others.

As long as you are alive people will talk about you sir, it should not bother you cos most of what they will say is out of ignorance.

As a man
Help men more than women
Women no dey remember who help Dem, when road clear for them.
I dey tell you from my experiences
Help more men, no dey reason am say
Shebi you be Man like me
Let's say you help 100 women, if at all 30 remember you, na to ask for help again.
But men case no be like that .
Help men more.
E get why

There is a saying in Igbo that goes like this

inyere ụmụ nwoke aka dị ka inye ha ihe ka ha debe gị

(Helping a man is like giving him something to keep for you).

If you help more men, at least some will remember and help you back.

Basically, you are regretting not learning how to steal and rob others?
Let's call it what it is - yahoo is electronic armed robbery. There are real victims at the other end, some of who end up committing suicide. Those balling today from such money have no idea what is waiting for them.

Bro, you have nothing to regret. Be diligent at that 9-5 and you will be amazed how things will turn around.
I wish I can like this response 1000 times! 🎯👍👏

"Yahoo Yahoo" is virtual robbery. Many of the unsuspecting victims of these fraudulent guys fall into huge depression after losing almost or all of their life savings. Some of these victims even commit suicide!

Majority of these G guys seem to have dead conscience. But as someone who have been hit hard by life and now later making it through freelancing, I can tell you nothing beats earning legitimately and with peace of mind.

This is why I don't envy these G guys because I believe they don't truly work for the money they have.

Not prioritizing my fitness early enough. Health is true wealth

Start now, it is not too late.

People should just go to the hospital and see what others are going through. All the money in the world is nothing if you are suffering from severe health problems

I live close to the hospital, and sometimes, I wake up due to the noise of sirens and a helicopter airdropping someone due to an emergency. I also have sick relations, and one of my good friends has HBP.

I also live with this friend during college, and I see just how much he suffers due to health issues. I go with him to the hospital sometimes and see other sick people, I feel sorry for him a lot.

Until health problems shows up, you won't know that health is the true wealth. Also, many Nigerians in particular are sick, but they don't know due to the rubbish they call health care there.

If you are overweight, and eat the typical Nigerian food, then you are more likely to have high blood pressure, high cholesterol level, high risk of diabetes, and all the accompanying sicknesses that come with it.

You will think you are fine, but if one sickness comes, it will throw you off the cliff, and you either lose your life or jump from hospital to hospital, just to be fine. And of course, being ripped off financially in the process. May God help you.

The sad thing about people is that we don't make hay while the sun shines. People need to be sick first, and the doctor tells them they will die if they don't change before they do the right thing.

Especially since Nigeria has worse public healthcare, where nurses and doctors are frustrated, incompetent, need your money, and shout at patients.

So health (being healthy), freedom (not in jail), mobility (not physically deformed), having time (being young), peace (clear conscience), love (from families), etc are true wealth. Money just enhances these things

Take your health seriously, Its one of the best way to love yourself. If an obese girl comes to me and tells me that she loves me, I will imagine how she can love me when she doesn't love herself.

If you love yourself, you will work on your weight so won't die young, and also, give me the best version of your body. Because if you expect me to only fork you for the rest of my life, that body better be good.

IAmHim1:
1) Believing that God, a mighty spiritual being could be found in an ordinary physical building called a church. Tithes offerings aren't supposed to be paid to pastors but to the less privilege around you. The reason you're a Christian is BECAUSE YOU WERE BORN IN A CHRISTIAN FAMILY. If you were born in a Muslim family, 8/10 you'd be a Muslim now.

Muslims don't pay tithe but they're richer than most Christians that pay to their pastors. Where's the truth in 10% to an already fat person that called him/herself 'pastor'

2) Not being appreciative. I thought the world revolved around me and people would also think like me. I didn't know that most of the people that helped me were not in abundance like I thought and I also didn't know that most of the people that helped me did so in pain and goodwill from their heart. I wasn't appreciative enough. That made me entitled to what wasn't mine


3) men are mostly logical and women are emotional creatures. Logic deals with reasoning while emotions deals purely with feelings. You don't reason with emotions. Kudos to Ubunja and Pukkalolo for bringing me this far.

4) the one ring to rule them all is FREE ELECTRICITY. I'll explain more in the future, God willing

5) For all the financial markets,be it bonds, stocks, futures, Bitcoin, deriv synthetic, any financial markets at all, it's TIME first and PRICE later

The x axis of your charts is TIME(killzones, new York opening time as REAL OPEN TIME, macros, silver bullets, time distortions etc) while the Y axis is price (order block, breakers , mitigation etc)

I discovered this after painful yearsss of trial and error in the markets and inner circle trader tried teaching me in countless of his lectures both on YouTube and his private mentorship


I know this seems like too much..but I write this with pain in my heart that you can't imagine. I hop it settles in the heart of the right person who will finally see

All my topics and posts. All I have ever written and will ever write, are my life lessons.
Do with it what you should



#Powerful Respect to you brother

I will argue with you. Forex is not gambling.
The only way it will be a gambling is how you trade.
Professional forex traders don't trade like gamblers do
Okay. But I know that any business or trade where one side must lose before the other side gains is gambling to me because that's the same principle that both are operating on.

The mistake I made was putting my business on Nairaland.

Believing that I could do business on Nairaland, sell my goods and services on Nairaland, and thrive.

I was wrong.

The Nairaland Moderators do not want you to thrive in business.

They secretly hate when you make sales or make money on their platform and will do everything in their power to make sure you do not thrive in the business you put on their Forum.

I wish I knew this truth earlier and marketed my business on other platforms other than Nairaland.




Nairaland has been a blessing for my business. It has given me customers and friends for life. Rules are rules......i might have suffered more ban and even lost more promising monikers than you. If they leave the platform without moderation, things would have fall apart!
