JohnnA1:
Congratulations! I went through your original thread; what actions/steps did you take to deal with the issue?

Thank you.

It was a long story. We ignored him and focused on our strengths. Eventhough we felt d heat, God did the rest.

sageb:


Congratulations, scholar.

dawnomike:

Amen, thank you man.

This is coming quite late but pardon it.

Sequel to the previous thread (around 2019) which made the front page, I would like to briefly share what later happened.

Previous thread: https://www.nairaland.com/5486307/how-deal-biased-lecturer#83358896

Well I'm glad to say that after some couple of years and assiduous efforts, I and my so called friends graduated with 'First class Degree Hons'

Thank you

We've had cases of people who have enjoyed partially and fully funded scholarship abroad. However, after completing any of the scholarship options, what should be the next step of someone planning to do masters in any of the best countries abroad with an impressive grade in B.Sc degree?

Addiction trap.

You attract YOU.... the internal makeups and developmental contents of your life reflects the types of values and virtues including people that come your way.

People don't change, they're revealed, use wisdom.

Everything starts with the mind.... excessively invest rightly in your mind. Read, inquire, explore!

Bad people also grow old, be careful of those you open your soul to for advice.

God is real, don't wait till experience without life line teaches the best lesson.

Use your head, enviness leads to silent enmity.

My points of view from OP post.

•That the OP shared part of Kelechi memories or success story doesn't necessitate direct obligation or self expectations and entitlement.

However, have you reached out to him point-black in which he obviously snubbed you? Has he done that several times? That his guards prevented you doesn't mean he feels the same. It's just that new level of life, environment, commitments, association demand modified way of reasoning and handling of things. (association specifically). So stop living in assumption and do another follow ups as he can't remember everything!

Also, he's got many childhood friends like you, same way you have your own colleagues....

In another paradigm shift,
Rich people don't help people, good people do. In other word, no be who get dey give , na who dey give dey give -anonymous

Borrowing money you don't have to buy what you don't need in order to impress people who don't care is an African mentality that needs to be rechecked...

9. Fear of what others will think!

Buhari is not the only problem of Nigeria, the governing system is seriously faulty. Even if another man you assume to be good is rightly voted, the cycle still continues.

What Nigerian really needs is the person who really understands and can draw out the main problem, and which is ready to sketch out the solution....(in each of the governing cabinet of the country).

An average political leader in this community is wrecked with selfish/self- centered interest.

@ModestGal
YES, it's actually possible.

Whatever the mind can conceive, it can really achieve it with good information, awareness, discovery and right execution.

It may be rough, delayed or extended due to the level and form of upbringing but, setting the right mindset in balance will work it out. How?

•It requires the development of an educative mind. A mind that read rightly , mind that's is always full of zeal towards the acquisition of right knowledge, (right books, right people who have already achieved similar feats)., right exposures to innovative and established ideas in both local and international settlements.
Why all these? it sets you on a pedestal to be able to see far beyond what your surroundings (nations , continents) can see and to note the type of problem to solve.
These all lead to better dreaming and planning to see into the future.


•As most billionaires had an already made capital either through family or inheritance they leveraged on, starting from humble background will require self discovery of the right skills (for the talented folks) and the right business ideas, THAT CAN SOLVE PEOPLE'S PROBLEM..(You know the number of visitors on nairaland per day or having what the whole Lagos state can't but use or need daily....let alone of the whole Nigeria).
Dangote has a notable multiple streams of income.

•Controlled Obsession is needed, not only hardwork or passion towards the right great idea that has been discovered to generating money.

•Investment and Re-investment in high valuable assets is also important.
Lastly, God's favour can't b excluded.

The reason Mr A started from humble background is enough reason why he shouldn't give up.

Barack Obama is actually shy and well noted to be an introvert however, everyone knows how successful he is.

You can be shy and still make a nation's building decisions and jaw -dropping ideas.

@Acmepreneur:
To say a few, while the importance of self motivation can never be de-emphasized, it's actually not easy to survive alone.... I onced shared a similar experience.

First note this, that you're a product of excellence. It's part of those challenges those aiming to be their very best face.

You should try and get your state of mind and lifestyles balanced. I know what it means to try to be extremely focus and depending on the principle of self motivation i.e striving hard alone... it's just because you've decided to stand out and not to fit in..... being a mediocre.

1. Now, you should try and get someone just a friend, that shares a similar view and mindset like you do (even if not all) to recharge the innate energy you've got... Maximum of two is ok, to at least discuss constructively based on similar views you've got.


2. Get a small journal and list out all your achievements you've got including skills. Group out all the skills into different phases, e.g Academic, Vocational skills, and other interests. e.t.c. . strategize the ones you have a greater interests and focus your energy on them...

You really need someone who shares similar views if not all as you do.

Also, try hanging out with other friends and family... let them do the talking while you listen and listen good.


If there's a burden on heart, the brain does not function.

That was just how the problem started. Majority of people are asymptomatic and convalescent carriers. They refuse to show symptoms but they actively shed the diseases to vulnerable hosts.

Just imagine a person who looks so sound and healthy being a carrier.

Health security or Petroleum

This thing just keep on increasing day by day, it has now turned to early-morning update.

Abeg nor follow update o if you no gët strong mind. Save yourself from getting wrecked by *panic.

SOMEONE SHOULD PLS WAKE ME UP FROM THIS SCARY DREAM!

More than 80% of people commenting here didn't watch the video clip completely, just got distracted on seeing the tag-BOBRISKY LOOK ALIKE, headline.

seunmsg:
Mere looking at the guy, it’s obvious he’s a fraudster. How reasonable people will go before this bobrisky lookalike and say they are before a man of God is beyond my understanding. Church goers really mumu o.

Did you call him?

Ok, neglecting his looks, it's out of point to even refer him as a *guy*....
Don't be too far from the truth.

Don't be scammed by the cheap likes you've got man.

The story seems credible at first but appears more like a script ready to be acted. How could there be no solution or way out? (that usually happens in movies), that's what almost everyone detests listening to.

Stop sharing fear and misinforming the public.

I dey talk am now o, before e go happen, every street don turn express o....

Pls I Need Ur Comments. My Jamb Score Is Not Satisfactory

Pls I am aspiring for medicine and surgery at EKSU. I am not an indegene and definitely not Yoruba. Pls advice if I stand a chance or not considering Eksu dont write post time exams. Will appreciate ur contributions

You stand a chance. Make up with your relevant O'level combinations, go online and calculate your grades. Get the assumed aggregate score, go to Facebook and search Eksu pages related to your course of study, telling them if your assumed score could get you MEDICINE. COMPETITION in admission processing is real o most especially for Medicine. Don't be surprised when you see many silent genius with higher aggregates opting for similar course as you move on.

The school fees for MBBS no be beans also.

Who kills snake at the middle?? abi who else noticed?

Only a gullible mind exaggerates and believe un-proven facts. Though it's spreading but exaggeration and ignorance kill more faster.

Stop sharing fear!

What a rubbish development. Is that now the solution? the government will not stop being reactive when they could have been more proactive (African mentality). What happens to especially the main markets here in Lagos? the banks, transports buses, hospitals restaurants? e.t.c. Close border dem no close , now wetin dey? abeg make government leave religious settings and do the needful.


Here is a reasoned observation that;

•A supreme being might be involved in the pandemic outbreak of this novel virus.

•It was syntesized in the laboratory which could have been incidental or accidentally.

•Odd or unusual exposures to foreign agents both on Earth e.g odd food consumption or outside the planet..those people that visit strange planets. ..The cause will surely be one of those.


Nigerian Government really need to invest heavily in Science -based Research sector and stop being reactive .

Alexanity:

I may really need to see a councillor and more work out, as for reading I'm trying to cut down on that, been an avid reader since I was 9, that had given me lots of exposure and answers to most things and this time around, I'm having a hyper awareness and knowledge of nagative things, so if I read about probability of being hit by a lightning, I'm definitely going to arrive at that finality that that one in a thousand or a million chance could be me and then my mind begin to embellish the reality of such

Ok , it will soon pass.
•Follow up with a counselor.
•Cut down excessive knowledge consumption through books. Be highly selective on the type of books and information you consume. Don't forget to learn to challenge your thought .. those that suck your energy.

Oosh...

Eventhough I'm not able to trace the cause or get the idea or source of your case, I will rather advise you to learn how to observe your thoughts. You're not your thought only if you learn how to create self awareness! when any negative thought comes around. The issue is also that, you're trying to justify every form of circumstance that might have come your way in your head, just in your head...
this is what is termed OVER ANALYSING.

Learn to ignore any negative thought that comes your way and watch it fade away like air, the more you resist negative thoughts, the more persistent they become.

Try exercising a bit more, spend time outside your comfort zone.

You might want to meet a counselor or read relevant books.
