djevino: Toxic tribalism.. *A loyalty to one's own tribe or social group to the point that dogma and dysfunction become the standard. Narcissism: Excessive interest in or admiration of oneself... ''The narcissistic personality has no sense of value except from external approval, admiration, recognition, acceptance and appreciation. This need for such external mirroring is incessant and bottomless. One must keep performing and achieving in order to keep the narcissistic supplies flowing. So achievements are not expressions of who one is, but are pursued to give oneself significance and identity. One’s life, with all its activities and accomplishments, constitutes a shell that is empty and devoid of any sense of self or Being. In such a character, a momentary failure of or disidentification with one’s external achievements makes one feel that one’s life is empty and insignificant. - A. H. Almaas'' https://www.diamondapproach.org/blog/narcissistic-self-everyday-narcissism?gclid=CjwKCAjw-qeFBhAsEiwA2G7Nl9ADPbsyCgWAzgDCTHlthS8qVo6BNjs60oRYVJcU_5JuWrwVEzjHQxoCfEAQAvD_BwE 2 Likes |

GROUP NARCISSISM In social psychology, collective narcissism (or group narcissism) is the tendency to exaggerate the positive image and importance of a group to which one belongs. The group may be defined by religion, social class, race, political stance, language, nationality, employment status, education level, cultural values, or any other ingroup. While the classic definition of narcissism focuses on the individual, collective narcissism extends this concept to similar excessively high opinions of a person's social group, and suggests that a group can function as a narcissistic entity. Collective narcissism is related to ethnocentrism. While ethnocentrism is an assertion of the ingroup's supremacy, collective narcissism is a self-defensive tendency to invest unfulfilled self-entitlement into a belief about ingroup's uniqueness and greatness. Thus, the ingroup is expected to become a vehicle of actualisation of frustrated self-entitlement. In addition, ethnocentrism primarily focuses on self-centeredness at an ethnic or cultural level, while collective narcissism is extended to any type of ingroup. When applied to a national group, collective narcissism is similar to nationalism: a desire for national supremacy. Collective narcissism is associated with intergroup hostility. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_narcissism 3 Likes |

djevino: Keep talking so we can keep diagnosing you. Collective Narcissism: Characteristics and consequences Collective narcissism is characterized by the members of a group holding an inflated view of their ingroup which requires external validation. Collective narcissism can be exhibited by an individual on behalf of any social group or by a group as a whole. Research participants found that they could apply statements of the Collective Narcissism Scale to various groups: national, ethnic, religious, ideological, political, students of the same university, fans of the same football team, professional groups and organizations. Collectively narcissistic groups require external validation, just as individual narcissists do. Organizations and groups who exhibit this behavior typically try to protect their identities through rewarding group-building behavior (this is positive reinforcement). Collective narcissism predicts retaliatory hostility to past, present, actual and imagined offences to the ingroup and negative attitudes towards groups perceived as threatening. It predicts constantly feeling threatened in intergroup situations that require a stretch of imagination to be perceived as insulting or threatening. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_narcissism 3 Likes 1 Share |

gwafaeziokwu: Another trait of narcissism is minimisation. When confronted about their narcissism, narcissists typically deflect, or minimise the actions which cause their narcissism to be spotted. In this case, his narcissism is explained as innocuous 'self-love'. But normal 'self-love' does not open a thread just to glorify one's self simply for being one's self. Such an act is a classic example of narcissism. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

PeaceforNigeria: The members of a narcissistic ingroup are likely to assume threats or negativity towards their ingroup where threats or negativity were not necessarily implied or exhibited. It is thought that this heightened sensitivity to negative feelings towards the ingroup is a result of underlying doubts about the greatness of the ingroup held by its members. Similar to other elements of collective narcissism, intergroup aggression related to collective narcissism draws parallels with its individually narcissistic counterparts. An individual narcissist might react aggressively in the presence of humiliation, irritation, or anything threatening to his self-image. Likewise, a collective narcissist, or a collectively narcissistic group might react aggressively when the image of the group is in jeopardy, or when the group is collectively humiliated. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_narcissism 4 Likes 1 Share |

Acidiously: Virtually every word this guy typed above screams 'narcissist'. Signs and symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and the severity of symptoms vary. People with the disorder can: -Have an exaggerated sense of self-importance -Have a sense of entitlement and require constant, excessive admiration -Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it -Exaggerate achievements and talents -Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate -Believe they are superior and can only associate with equally special people -Monopolize conversations and belittle or look down on people they perceive as inferior -Expect special favors and unquestioning compliance with their expectations -Take advantage of others to get what they want -Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others -Be envious of others and believe others envy them -Behave in an arrogant or haughty manner, coming across as conceited, boastful and pretentious -Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office -At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they perceive as criticism, and they can: -Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special treatment -Have significant interpersonal problems and easily feel slighted -React with rage or contempt and try to belittle the other person to make themselves appear superior -Have difficulty regulating emotions and behavior -Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change -Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection -Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, vulnerability and humiliation When to see a doctor People with narcissistic personality disorder may not want to think that anything could be wrong, so they may be unlikely to seek treatment. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/narcissistic-personality-disorder/symptoms-causes/syc-20366662 4 Likes 1 Share |

OriakuAmara: Narcissism: Symptoms and Signs Need for Admiration One of the most common signs of a narcissist is a constant need for praise or admiration. People with this behavior need to feel validation from others and often brag or exaggerate their accomplishments for recognition. They also like to feel appreciated to boost their ego. Lack of Empathy Lack of empathy is another sign of narcissism. This means that the narcissist is unwilling or unable to empathize with the needs, wants, or feelings of other people. This also makes it difficult for them to take responsibility for their own behavior. Arrogance People with narcissistic behavior already see themselves as superior to others, so they may become rude or abusive when they don’t receive the treatment they think they deserve. While they hold themselves superior, they may speak or act rudely toward those that they deem are inferior. https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/narcissism-symptoms-signs Other recognised traits of narcissists: - Sense of self is highly superficial, extremely rigid, and often fragile - Self-stability depends on maintaining the view that one is exceptional - Grandiose sense of self is easily threatened - Patients retreat from or deny realities that challenge grandiosity https://www.emedicinehealth.com/what_are_the_nine_traits_of_a_narcissist/article_em.htm 4 Likes 1 Share |

Investigative: I don't think they would have 'conquered Lagos and installed a Emir'. However, i do believe they would have 'engineered' things by now to the extent Lagos would have had a non-Yoruba as Governor of the state...quite possibly a muslim northerner. See how they've taken over administrative control of FCT....a territory in which all ethnicities and regions ought to have equal stake. 1 Like |

Rossiminku: I have small time today, let's go there. What you have displayed so far in this thread and others is a classic display of bigotry. Bigotry :intolerance of different views, beliefs A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles, or identities that are different from their own. Mostly, the person's opinions are based on prejudice. For example, an outspoken member of a political party who blocks those with opposing views, would be a prime example of a ‘’bigot’’. The origin of the word bigot in English dates back to at least 1598, via French. It started with the sense of "religious hypocrite", especially a woman. The word bigot is often used as a pejorative term against a person who is obstinately devoted to negative prejudices, even when those prejudices are proven to be false. Forms of bigotry may have a related ideology. 4 Likes 2 Shares |
