THE CURSE OF BEING A LEADER

The season finale of GOT had me in my feelings. Watching Jon Snow get stabbed by his followers made me realize how much this life we live is really just a pot of beans. For as long as I can remember, there's this quote about leadership that has stuck with me throughout the years. Rosalyn Carter said "a great leader takes people where they don't want to go , but ought to be". I guess she would know a lot about this because her husband Jimmy Carter tried to take the American people where they didn't want to go but ought to be.

But back to my nigga Jon Snow. We all know he saw the bigger picture and tried to lead the men of the Knights watch to that "promised land" but alas. I guess that is the curse you pay for being a leader. You see the bigger picture but you are surrounded by idiots for followers. Jon Snow had allies but maybe he spread himself to thin. Maybe he shouldn't have let Sam go, he was isolated. Watching Jon snow get stabbed reminded me of the killing of the civil rights leader Malcolm X by members of the Nation of Islam group which he was formerly a minister of. Malcolm had a particular world view that was significantly changed after his visit to the Hajj.

On his return, he had refined his beliefs but the very same followers he had persuaded to follow his old teachings weren't ready to hear this new version of his "truth”. Malcolm ended up getting assassinated by members of the Nation of Islam. Sometimes, the same intensity you use in converting new followers to your doctrine, is the same intensity they’ll use to crucify you when you violate your own doctrine.

There’s something to be said about having a vision for your people but struggling to sell that vision to the masses. Sometimes, followers have to trust in their leaders judgement and not seek to second guess their decisions and maybe that was what was required from the followers of Jon Snow.


Furthermore, sometimes leaders need to work on articulating and carefully explaining their visions to the people so that they don’t feel like they are being bamboozled. When Obama tried pushing his Healthcare policy to the people, it was met by resistance by opponents because he had lost control of the narrative. He hadn’t taken the time to carefully sell the plan to the nation, hence he was met by strong opposition by a whole host of people who were opposed to the Affordable healthcare act. Today, a vast number of people have signed up for Obamacare and states that were formerly opposed to the act have warmed to the policy.

There are similarities between Jon Snow, Malcolm X & Jesus. All 3 men represented new ideas after being solid representatives of the old system.

Jon Snow - swore an oath to defend the wall from the wildlings until present circumstances dictated that they become allies. He was subsequently betrayed by his followers and killed.

Malcolm X: swore by all the teachings of the Nation of Islam and Elijah Mohammed until he was betrayed by Elijah Mohammed. He was subsequently betrayed by his followers and assassinated.

Jesus: If we are to believe he was a God, he  technically represented the old order of the tabernacle with the 10 commandments. But his emergence led to a new belief system which encompassed loving your neighbor as yourself and welcoming in the Gentiles who were formerly forbidden. For his troubles, he was crucified by the same people he came to save.

What lessons can we learn from all 3 leaders?

1. A great leader does indeed take people where they don't want to go but ought to be. But maybe before he does that, he should kill off the ones who disagree with him. Something Jon Snow should have done but instead he appointed the former lord commander as first watch.

2. Be careful not to find yourself isolated from your followers. Malcolm X got screwed because he let another leader he respected control the narrative and as a result, Elijah Mohammed isolated him from the Nation of Islam. Jon Snow on the other hand, got isolated from his own followers and his main allies like Sam and co weren't around to have his back. In the case of Jesus, well we know Judas betrayed that nigga ass for 30 pieces of silver so the lesson there is to pay your fucking followers a good salary. Lmao

3. When Jon Snow made the former first commander knight of the first watch it seemed like a genius move because he seemed to be making an enemy into an ally. He undid all that good work when he proceeded to kill the friend of the ex commander by beheading him. They say keep your friends close and your enemies closer but as Stannis Barothean pointed out, who ever came up with that quote never had a lot of enemies. Sometimes you really have to crush your enemies totally and with no mercy. Jon Snow should not have put the former lord commander in a position of power rather he should have appointed his own ally to the position of knight of the first watch. I guess we can finally agree that the wildling woman was right when she said "You know nothing Jon Snow".

In conclusion, you try to take people to the promised land. You risk getting killed by white walkers. You do all that and what do you get as a fucking thank you? 4 knife stabs "for the watch". This life is truly a pot of beans.

What Does It Mean To Be A Man

What does it mean to be a man? Or is the better question what does it take to be a man? I get so confused some times because I don't know what this society wants from a nigga bro. Is there more to being a man than being macho? Does He have to be able to bench press 300 pounds ? Or is 225 pounds just enough? How many push ups he gotta be able to do or sit ups do he gotta be able to do before he's considered a real man? How many bitches does a man gotta fuck before he's considered a man?  Should I wear designer clothes or nah? How much should my shoes cost on average? I pay $30 for a T-shirt but it ain't Ralph tho. How many inches does his dick gotta be before he's considered a real man? Sometimes I feel like my generation is lost out here fam. Does the size of my bank account make me a man? What if I don't have enough money? Should I feel inadequate and inferior because the other man drives a better car than me or can play basketball better than I can? Shit what if I don't have a car at all? When I go clubbing with my friends what if I don't pop enough bottles? How many bottles do I have to pop before I convince society and myself that I am a man? How many degrees I gotta own? If my chick got a PHD and I only got a masters is she better than me? Am I less of a man? Do she wear the pants in our relationship?  Should my girl still respect me if I'm not earning as much as her best friend boyfriend? How can I look at myself in the mirror and call myself a man if I can't meet up to the standards I see society setting for me everyday? They keep switching these rules up on me cuh. I log unto my twitter and I see a different standard everyday saying a 'A real man does this or does that, a real man eats eggs, a real man drinks vodka straight, a real man can do 100 pushups. A real man can change a tire, like sheesh.  Again I ask. What does it mean to be a man? What does it take to be a man? 
I'm not Sway I ain't got the answers Bruh. But in my own personal journey I've learned that a man takes responsibility whether it be for his life or for the welfare of his loved ones. But what if my wife gets cancer and I can't cover all her hospital bills? Does that make me less of a man? What if my son wants to go to Harvard and I can't afford to pay for his tuition have I failed as a man?  What if my wife earns more than I do? Should I feel some type of way about that? What will my friends say? What will society say? Truth of the matter is I don't know what it means or takes to be a real man. I ain't got the answers I'm just living this life one day at a time trying to gain some understanding. I guess at the end of the day it takes a 'real man' to admit "I don't know shit", I'm just Tryna live bro. I want my life to have meaning, I wanna live for a purpose greater than myself.. I guess at the end of the day all I really know is that this life is just a pot of beans. 

EMOTIONAL RECOVERY

This whole post may sound jumbled and incoherent. Forgive me, I’ve been suffering from writer’s block but I wanted to quickly put down my thoughts on this particular subject of Emotional Recovery. 

Emotional Recovery or Emotional healing as others call it is very important before you get into another relationship or find yourself dating. I always found myself jumping into one relationship after another, I never gave myself time to heal from the last one before jumping into the next one. My homie tried to warn me to chill and take a break for a bit but I never listened to him. This post is primarily inspired by my last relationship and how my failure to take time out to recover emotionally eventually led me to hurt a woman i truly cared about. Here was a woman who would have walked to hell with me if I had asked her, she loved me and she would have followed me into the abyss if I had asked her to. I never recovered from my last relationships before I got with her and the truth is when you are emotionally tapped out, when your emotional gas tank is on empty, no matter how much you care for the other person you can’t love them like they need you to. Little sentimental things that make up a good relationship become a chore, texting her good morning, texting her I love you, leaving cute voicemails. It seems like the other person is the only one pulling their weight in the relationship. 

Spend time recovering from past relationships before jumping into a new one. You may find yourself giving only 50% in the relationship while your partner is giving 100%. I hadn’t recovered 100% and anybody could have seen that but sometimes some women and men would rather have a 50% version of you than not have you at all. In this generation were “titles” mean everything, the rush to have an official title of boyfriend or girlfriend leads people to jump into relationships that have no solid foundation. 

Personally, I got tired of seeing the look of disappointment in her eyes when she realized I wasn’t pulling my weight in the relationship. It always seemed like she was the only one investing more in the relationship. I couldn’t give what i did not have to give and the resentment that she came to have for me eventually led to a bad break up. If I could go back and change anything I would never have gotten into a relationship with her until I had healed properly. I would not have rushed anything, I would take my time getting to know her. Sometimes you end up hurting people you never really set out to hurt. 

In conclusion, don’t rush getting into a new relationship after you just got out of an old one. Take your time, get to know yourself a little better and recover. 

WHY THE NIGERIAN ANTHEM IS THE ULTIMATE 'YIMU'.

For those of you who don't understand what "Yimu" means. 

Urban dictionary definition: It is a Nigerian (Yoruba Slang) : for a movement that pushes the nose up slightly showing scornful disagreement with what someone said or did.

Ahmed - Abeg make I skip this line. 

Bouncer - Say you be Jesus abi? 

Ahmed (With the Authority of Seven Gods in his voice) - Do you know who I am?

To serve with heart and might

One nation bound in freedom, peace and unity. - (Freedom we no get, Peace we no get, Unity we no get. Wetin we come get? Goodluck & Patience na wetin we get.)

stanza 2: O God of creation (Oga at the Top)

Direct our noble cause (Wetin be our cause? Where e come take be noble? This one na serious of Call of Duty Agbero Ops)

Guide our leaders right ( Abeg papa, guide our leaders left. Because if na right u done dey guide them since independence, you done miss road. Guy make U-turn start to dey go the other direction abeg. No vex, be like say your GPS no dey work properly).

Help our youth the truth to know (Which dirty youth? The ones wey dey for house dey chill for this ASUU strike? Which kind truth them wan know wey dem no fit see with their eyes already?)

"In love and honesty to grow 

And living just and true

Great lofty heights attain

To build a nation where peace

And justice shall reign.” (For this last tori, refer to the picture below abeg.)

THE RISE OF THE NEW NIGGA

Man let me apologize first of all for how long it took us to bless yall with a new post. We been slacking on here, niggaz reached the 'We Don Dey Squeeze' breast level and got complacent. 11k page views in 2 weeks will do that to a nigga. We went Hollywood on yall and we apologize, we gone try and keep the posts coming consistently. 


Ladies and Gentlemen.

I feel it is high time I draw your attention to this epidemic consuming man and woman alike all across the world. This epidemic, this plague, this disease is called 'New Nigga' Syndrome. It's like a new crop of human beings who just exhibit traits of 'newness' bruh. These the kind of niggaz that made Jesus decide that he need to come back a second time b. These are niggaz who were prolly the offspring of Pre-Cum.  New Nigga Syndrome is not gender specific, it can be exhibited by both male or female species.

Some have asked, how does one spot a new nigga? How does one know when they are exhibiting new nigga traits? Well I am here to answer your questions.
First of all, what is a new nigga? A new nigga is an individual who when growing up never had no positive role models in their life. These the kind of nigga that never had no mentor or older person available to teach them the ropes of life. These the kind of niggaz that walk around the world oblivious to shit. These the kind of niggaz that when the white man came for slaves were playing Ludo while others were running to hide. This shit is like the show the walking dead, there's more new niggaz coming out the closet everyday. Studies show that by 2020, 3 out of 4 people will be suffering from new nigga syndrome or showing symptoms.

It's easy to know when you have just spotted a new nigga. There's only certain type of facial expressions that determine when a person has witnessed some new nigga shit. Pick your facial expression from the following pictures below. 

Examples of new nigga syndrome in a Guy - This the type of guy who never had no positive male role models in his life. The type of guy who prolly lost his virgnity between the ages of 20 & 21 so never had the opportunity to get mentored sexually by an older women when he was in his teens. This the type of guy who prolly logged unto a porn site when he was 17 and after seeing 'Must be 18 to Enter' clicked exit and closed the site. This the type of guy that's likely to not go to an event because the guy his girl used to mess with in the past might be there. This the type of guy to throw a friend under the bus to get some pussy. This the type of nigga to delete his twitter just cause his girl said he should. This the type of nigga to have a joint instagram account with his girl detailing their relationship. This the type of nigga that likely to take a woman at her word when say 'I don't usually do this'. This the type of nigga that would hit up a chick he smashing and ask her 'Where do u see us going'. This the type of nigga most likely to keep texting a chick after she say 'she don't suck dick'.  This the type of nigga to see a sidechick out in public with another dude and lose his fucking mind and swear he have feelings. This the type of nigga who fall for a chick instagram pictures and then catch a stroke when she don't look the same in real life. This the type of nigga to get mad when his side chick decide she deserve better outta life. This the type of nigga who might listen to some drake after getting shut down in the Dms. This the type of nigga most likely to say shit like 'I don't eat pussy'. This the type of nigga to give his girl his Facebook and twitter password. This is usually the type of nigga to go through a chick phone while she in the shower. This usually the type of guy who believe his girl when she say 'my battery died' when she at the club with her girlfriends. This usually the type of guy to keep on texting  a chick after she done ignored his previous 10 texts. This the type of niggas who have no concept of honor and dignity and who probably celebrated when Spartacus died b. This the type of nigga likely to ask a chick for nudes and when she say 'You first' actually go ahead and sends her dick pics. This the type of nigga not used to love and attention that when he finally get it, he usually the dude in the circle showing the first nudes he ever got to fellow niggaz looking all accomplished and shit. This the type of nigga to tell a chick 'Just let me put the tip in' and actually proceed to only put the tip in b.  

Examples of New Nigga Syndrome in a Chick - This the type of chick who never had no older gentleman mentor her in the ways of life while she was between the ages of 17 & 18. This the type of chick to write an essay worth of texts to a guy at 2am proclaiming feelings for him when they aren't even 'talking'. Type of chick who have a boyfriend but the boyfriend don't know he's her boyfriend. She in a relationship by herself SHEONO. The type of chick to ask for a nigga body count right after having sex with him. This the type of chick to retweet women empowerment tweets all day but still be the side chick of a nigga and don't see nothing wrong with that. This the type of chick who don't give head but is happy to receive. This the type of chick to ask a dude back for the gifts she bought him during a fight. This the type of chick who can't cook but swear her pussy gone keep a man. This the type of chick to ask a dude "what are we' even though she has a boyfriend. This the type of chick who never had her pussy ate from the back so don't know what it means to have a man's back. This the type of chick who believe her dude when he blame his best friend as the reason why there only 3 condoms left in a box of condoms she bought him 2 weeks ago. This is usually the type of chick to screen shot a nigga dming her on twitter and proclaim it as thirst. This the type of chick to get 6 consecutive likes on Instagram from one person and give them a Shoutout. This the type of chick who believe a nigga when he says 'Just the Tip' and be surprised as fuck when all 6 inches is inside her and shit. This the type of chick to hit a nigga up and ask 'Did u cum inside of me even a little bit'. 

In conclusion, when you see a new nigga you gotta flee from him or her like the Israelites fled Egypt. This shit is so contagious you might be hanging around a new nigga and see yourself displaying new nigga traits. Some of y'all reading this and trying to see whether you showing symptoms of new nigganess. If one example on here applies to you, that mean you at the beginning stages of new nigganess. If more than 3 examples apply to you, you really a lost cause. 

Before I leave let me drop what my nigga Fido had to say about New Niggaz. 
New niggas - a new nigga is basically any nigga, who was never there before but somehow manages to hang around real niggas, he/she gets excited at the littlest of things because it is all new.
It's easy to spot a new nigga, he probably one who just got his first iphone and always complaining about battery life
He is one who tweets like he about that life, but still gets excited over likes on IG and RTs on twitter.He the one who gonna tell your girl you messing around just cause he likes her too. But like new money a new nigga never lasts because they only "hot" while they are new with no foundation.

My nigga Onyi had this to say about new niggaz. 

A new nigga is a nigga that hasn't studied nor experienced the game. For this fact, new niggas constantly fail when attempting to spit what they believe is game. New niggas think eating pussy is an option and not a matter of fact. 

WHY YORUBA MEN ARE THE REAL PROBLEM OF NIGERIA (PART TWO).

Yoruba Men Have Been Losing Ever Since Fela Died - Obafemi Awolowo. 1990. 

Original Story --> Ese Walters

Madam Ese Walters makes several claims in her expose which we will examine. 

1. While there, he sat on a reclining chair and asked me to come sit on his laps. This was a bit awkward for me and I froze for a moment as I asked why. He said he had told me to feel free with him and loosen up. I found myself strolling to sit on his laps. At that moment, I felt like a little girl who was experiencing something her mind couldn’t fathom. He asked me to kiss him and all I could think about was seeing him preach on the pulpit back in COZA Abuja, Nigeria, which was my home church. He again said ‘feel free Ese.’ And asked again, that I kiss him. A few hours later, let’s just say, we were rolling under the sheets. It felt as though my mind had paused. I am not saying I was jazzed, (although it’s possible I was in some trancelike state and didn’t know it but I just was so afraid that I couldn’t say or think otherwise.) That was the beginning of this affair. A sexual affair that went on for a little over a week, DAILY!

LOL why are you sitting on a grown man's laps? The guy na Santa Claus? Talking about I froze, no be only froze.  So she had sex with homie for a week, daily. And her conscience went on a vacation for said week?  But Pastor said 'Feel Free Ese'. Lmao these yoruba niggaz bruh, 'Feel Free To suck this dick tho'. 

2.  I can hear somebody’s mind thinking, ‘well, you weren’t raped.” And I remember a pastor I opened up to when I couldn’t take all the mind games asking if I seduced him. No, I didn’t seduce him and no, I wasn’t raped but I felt trapped in this affair. Come to think of it, how could I have seduced him when I wanted nothing from him? I mean, I was too busy minding my business in London trying to get through with my masters program and I was overly comfortable. And even if I wanted to seduce anyone, it wouldn’t be a married man, not to mention a married pastor. What I couldn’t reconcile the whole time, was how the same person who preached against the very things we were doing (i.e drinking in pubs, fornicating, committing adultery) was the same person endorsing and encouraging it.

She said she felt trapped in the affair? What kind of trap is it where the man lets you leave the hotel and come back for a week straight? Trapped ko, trapped in the closet ni. 
I mean lets not be to harsh on Miss Ese, after all the bible does say 'All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God'. Bible didn't say nothing about a 'week short' tho. But who am i to judge these things? Not like I belong to a Pastoral Care Unit or anything. 



3. At some point, I got really confused about what Pastor Biodun Fatoyinbo and I were doing that I had to ask how he handles it. I will never forget what he said to me. He said and I quote, “I will teach you a level of grace that you don’t understand.” My mind couldn’t fathom that somehow grace was enough covering for not just fornication on my path, adultery on his path and the many lies that was bound to follow what we were doing that was clearly abominable. 



Some of you may be rolling your eyes at 'I will teach you a level of grace'. But it is important to examine the origins of said phrase. The first man to teach a woman a level of grace she could not understand was Abraham, the father of all nations. When Hagar said to him 'But Sir you have a wife?' Abraham replied 'Shh let me teach you a level of grace you don't understand'. The second man to teach a woman a level of grace was King David after Uriah's wife asked him 'But my Lord, I have a Husband". To which King David replied 'Sshh let me teach you a level of grace you don't understand'. As we can see, various men of God have indeed been able to teach various women a level of grace that they could not possibly understand. Pastor Biodun was just following in the footsteps of great men of God who came before him. 

In conclusion, Miss Ese Walters is still guilty of one offense.  Hoeism which is a disorder that makes certain women forget their virtue when it becomes an inconvenience and then when convenient, go back to said virtue. See the fact of the matter is at any point, Miss Ese had the power to walk out the door and never come back but she sat on Oga Pastor's laps, and they 'rolled in the sheets' for a week straight. DAILY!!! So what are we to conclude? 

#PastorDickHadMeLike Have you seen my morals? I must have misplaced them. 
#PastorDickHadMeLike Orgasm first. Jesus Second. 
#PastorDickHadMeLike Only God can Judge me
#PastorDickHadMeLike Fuck not my anointed
#PastorDickHadMeLike A lil orgasm never hurt nobody


This Life is Just a Pot Of Beans Bruh.

WHY YORUBA WOMEN ARE THE REAL PROBLEM OF NIGERIA

The key to happiness is to eliminate all Yoruba women from your life - Wole Soyinka. 1992.



Before you continue reading, please read the original post here --> Aunty Akindele's Story

So Aunty Akindele makes several claims in this testimony of hers that we need to address.


1." It was not until January 2011 that God began to speak to me so clearly. At the start of January, I awoke at 3am to a bright light shining in my bedroom. There, standing by my wardrobe was a very tall angel dressed in sparkling white robes.

I was so happy. I had no clue when Dayo’s salvation would take place or when our wedding would be but I trusted in the Lord and even bought my wedding dress and started making wedding plans.

After this, for the next two years, every night at 3am, I would be awoken by the Holy Spirit and be taken to Heaven where I would spend time with the Lord and He would tell me various things about what would happen in my life in the future, as well as about the relationship that he had planned for Dayo and I.

One of the key things that Jesus told me during one of my visits was that He himself would bind Dayo and I together with cords of love that cannot be broken and that we will be joined together when we are made of the same material."

No be only sparkling white robes abeg shift. So instead of solving world hunger, Aids, natural disasters, God has been busy giving tour de france to yoruba women at 3am in heaven? See this is why young Nigerian men have to skype their women before they sleep and even after their women have gone to sleep, keep the skype video open and watch them as they sleep. Your woman tells you she's going to bed at 12am, unbeknownst to you she's sneaking out of the house at 3am to go to heaven. Why? You really can't trust these women b. You catch your fiancée wit an angel at 3am after she told you she was going to bed. You gotta let her know that's her new man now.

2. But God is so faithful. And He always has a plan. Just before my 25th birthday last year, an angel came to my bedside, bringing a loaf of bread for me to eat. The Holy spirit explained to me that the bread is the Word of the Lord and that dwelling on the Word will bring strength to my spirit.The word of the Lord is the bread that sustains us and that is exactly what kept me going through what was set to be like the lowest point during the two year period of waiting on the Lord for Dayo’s salvation. It was a couple of days after the angel had brought me the bread, that my father had informed me that Dayo had asked for my hand in marriage – and that he had objected to it."

Hmm which is easier to believe? That an angel would bring Aunty loaf of bread to eat? Or that Aunty Akindele would hallucinate about eating bread because of all the fasting and prayer she had done in regards to finding a husband. Try fasting and praying for a week, and tell me if you won't see Jesus dancing Skelewu with angels as well.

3. And thus began the start of something good. Until the night after our second date, when we were speaking on the phone and I asked him which church he attended. It was at this point that he went silent on the phone. He then said he had something to tell me, something that he had wanted to tell me face to face. I urged him to go on and that’s when he finally told me that he was a Muslim!

I honestly felt like I’d been slapped in the face by a mighty wave of shock and disbelief. Nevertheless, I simply informed him that we would just have to be friends and that as a believer in Christ, there would be no way that our relationship could go further towards the road of marriage.

Slap in the face because she found out her future husband to be was Muslim? But to suggest that her husband could not find salvation because he was Muslim is all kinds of ignorant. But what do I know? I'm not the one going on dates with God at 3am so let me just shut up.

In Conclusion: 

Quote 1. : What we usually pray to God is not that His will be done, but that He approve ours"

Quote 2.: The tendency to turn human judgments into divine commands makes religion one of the most dangerous forces in the world.

Quote 3. : I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
