Topic: My mind is no longer here. (Read 259 times)

One of those slavery quotes wey oyibo use coward our Father's to begin read all their lies wey dem put for book and begin serve them. This book you dey talk, bible follow o, the one dem don transcribe and translate to many languages and versions, remove some add some.
Dem give us some books to dey read but their children use skills dey dominate the world. The more them dominate, dem use their success write more books and encourage us to read. Make everybody rest abeg.

Our forefathers sabi make rain fall or stop, but we say dem dey fetish. But same oyibo predict the weather we call dem climatological and dem go write am for book we go pay for university go read am.

Most of people will definitely go against governments even the one wey no dey earn salary, but at this matters take be this hardship e touch everybody, the kind shege wey some of us don see for this country no be waiting we go like hear sef, again we kept on complaining about one issue every day in this country, hunger sef go make you weak which you sef go realize say this thing wey you dey do no be better things for your life, na to stand and go look for a better way of provide for yourself, even person wey been wan help u one day him go tired am because problem no dey finish, if we no shine our eyes hustle, we go continue dey explain every day and evidence no go dey.  



As you talk am no be everybody choose poor to be part of their life, no be waiting you know or understand most of people know, but if one way no work another one go work we all cannot be rich in the same way, no be say if them see way them no go fit run am, but some don't know and some na lack of knowledge, no why everything no be by wiseness.

hungry go lead you in two way. e go make some people to no there right. by making them to stand up and fight for there life by going out there to hustle and bring food for themselves and family.

wah the other one will lead you to thief people's things. if this hardship continues in this country like this, plenty people will go against the law. because the hardship and suffering of our people out there, is too much.

nobody wants to be poor in live. everybody wants to be Rich. some reasons why some people are still were they are Today, is lack of information. and those who have the information don't want to share it. it's every we're so far Africa and Nigeria is concern, we like hiding information and to help our people and those that have the information don't want to share because they want to remean on top.

Yes it is a wrong assumption and notion to think that hunger is the factor that push someone into what is good, no. What happened is that there is destiny that manifest with time.

Hunger is not responsible for the reason people got better financially because If you are a notorious person, when you are hungry you can only think of nefarious things to do or except we agree that people should do heinous things to get rich. But on a normal, I don't believe it is hunger that push people into what they do but time met with destiny. There are naturally lazy people who have also succeeded after their down time because time met with destiny.

I have not read this book, and have never even came across it before , but then, I will love to point out to the fact that I am also a lover of books and I sincerely love reading, but my major problem is that I hardly have the time to read this days, work and this forum pretty much takes all the free time I have, and sometimes, social media too , I would have opted to download the PDF version of this book and read, but I currently have a lot of books I downloaded in their PDF version that I have never touched, or even remember I downloaded, so I better will look for the hard copy and buy, I will give up my social media time and spend that time to read the book since it's special recommendation from you @op

I don't think anything is hidden from the black man anymore,  maybe that's from my perspective and there is this saying by my late father that one of the biggest limitations of a black man is inferiority and that's because of low self esteem. With that been said, I also agree with you that we blacks barely read books and it is always difficult  to see an average  black man cultivating a reading habit because it doesn't seem profitable at the instance.
The title of your thread really caught my attention i must confess and I will be glad if I can get the book online and I hope to go check the list of the book and just incase anyone haven't read the 48 laws of power, then I will strongly recommend  that you all go check it out.

People always come out to post whatever they feel is like posting without thinking to contribution to this community.
From understanding I have read what op is saying I don't think is of any fucking concerned to know whether he reads or not between how we cope here if we don't spend time reading comments and post. There are some things we don't need to posting most times to make us looks like weren't knowing we are doing over here. Basically you can't Excel in this forum without you devoting time to read and understand things across here.

I just made a little research on this book, and even surprised to know it's written by a fellow Nigerian "Ifedigbo Nze Sylva" which O.P claim it holds a secret nobody has ever told us & the reason why we blacks are poor, because at first I thought is was a white man's book. However, from my brief research about the book, it tells the story about four young men who wanted to become wealthy at any cost, and happen to come across powerful drug and human trafficking syndicate who offer them a job, which they accepted simply because they were hungry and poor individuals who had no choice.

Sometimes we must leaned to devote time to read because we know that for a human being to excel in life you must either chose to read and gain vast knowledge or you have be technically sounds in terms of manual skills to make a livelihood. Those who fails to be educated are the people whom we think could channels all these tells, but however we africans doesn't really devote time to study further after graduation or leaving high school. Here is also a good place to get educated because I know there's nothing here you would do without you having to study and bring down your mind to understand the whole lot of processes to be able to operate smoothly on this forum.

OP you must be so confused for this statement, no body loves to be poor or stay hunger, haven't you tried to sacrifice something to get something before?
Sometimes people stays hungry so they can achieve something tangible in future and that's called sacrifice.
No body knows it all, even ELON MUSK has oksomething he's missing, if not the bad government we have, we are the best n Africa as a whole because we have what it takes to change our country but we can't because of the kind of lazy political who can put things in other.

For real? How do hunger na become a good thing give peso?  Only this time wey hunger the finish peso for the our country, you no see how our country people the complain bitterly of the rate hunger wey the happen for the country. Is our people happy about am? Na to tell sae when hunger dey, nobody seems to be happy. People go just d vex d go without control.

Hunger feeling no be here. Em go fit lead someone to get em self involve into illegal activities wey em no wan do on a normal day, but base on hunger matter, em go fit lead am to commit wetin no d good for em self and for the society at large.

@OP, I haven't read such book and when I was reading your thread,I thought that you will enlighten us little on the content of the book but instead you didn't mention anything that was in the book go us to learn something from you. Blacks are very hardworking and they are good in anything that they are doing. As for being productive in terms of practical,I know that we are weak in this side. Don't get is the other way round huger is never something that is good for human or animal to face for long,if not they can do negative things that you wouldn't expect.

@Agbamoni
You have good topic, but the content is poor. I have searched online before I understood more about what your post is all about.

In short, you mean blacks do not read. This is different from what I have known, what I know is that blacks can prefer the theoretical ways and also prefer to follow the first and second world countries. Blacks do not want to be practical and make somethings in their own way but to following whites is what we prefer.

What I think is right about this is that blacks do not think, but that goes to our leaders. What if other people become the leader, the people also will become like the leaders that are not getting it correctly. I hope that the shame on blacks will one day be gone after they do things their own way with more thoughts in it that can make the blacks compete with the whites. Because if we blacks shows that we stand out too like the whites, their will not be anything like blacks do not think.

I think this can be proper during slavery time. When I was small, I thought it was the white that invaded blacks and enslaved them, but it was later that I knew that blacks are selling blacks to people in North America and South America and few to Asia. But I will still prefer to use 'blacks do not think'. We are more self-centered, our government are not working the way they should and we supposed to be better than this.

No matter how e carry b better things, make God no allows to turn pple for life. E no easy o, to dey survive below  d table of each man nt, n watin e dey see plenty 4 we nation b dat.

No matter watin u fee say poverty ft motivate u 2 do, mak u jnderstand say, e dey go both ways nd d suffer kwa ft still reach u nd as e n like dat, no b small caution way persn 4 dey exercise.

If e been easy, I no sure say una 4 dey see persn 2 teach at all. Still, e go bad say ur money no dey for the forum or learning again. Dat go b one means to dey lose nd u nk go know.

The first statement concerning hiding things from a black man, is on the offensive part.
Currently black people are among the brightest and intelligent people in the world, so why should you as a black man subscribe to that offensive assertion. We should be  the ones to rebuff some of this baseless narratives because it doesn't hold any water.
There is no Field of expertise that you won't see the black man, ranging from academics, sports, Business etc.
So please let's continue to have a positive mindset for our people.

So wetin this thread be for now? You fit go main board go dey post this kind thing. Assuming you added that we should put more thoughts into reading books and you give the benefits, e for dey understandable say something for  this thread dey to talk about but because of one book you just create thread how e dey do you (wetin you wan make we discussed here and wetin make you think say plenty people for here go dun read the book for we to get something to discuss). The book self no popular for the country like books like "Things fall apart" wey be say person go dun read and go fit drop one or two discussion for wetin dem understand for the book. 

Make we dey think way before we post, no bi everything we go carry the come here. Belike time self dun reach to push all this kind topics dem to office topic (other discussion) because I no see any value wey this topic go add to the local board. Only bring topics that'll be beneficial in regards to encouraging healthy discussion to the local board. If i be you I for change this topic to something that has to do with books been very valuable for human education as e go help you widen your knowledge on things wey be say school no go fit teach you.

I totally disagree with you on this very statement of yours of "hunger" being a good thing, because we all know that a hungry man is an angry man, and when a man is at that stage, he is capable of doing the unthinkable just to have a piece of meal to eat and survive. Because judging from your statement the most poorest countries with lots of hungry people would have been the most productive, but why is the reverse the case now?

Note: Hunger doesn't make people successful, but the determination to succeed does.

Hunger is not a good thing let me inform you incase you don't know, hunger will only lead to frustration, anger and stealing which is the end product to hunger, i child that is hungry is likely to steal, poverty is not what we should pray to hang around with and we must not learn our own lesson the hard way others do.


Was it everyone into humger or poverty that end up doing the right thing they ought to do? most of them engaged doing illicit activities that ruined their lives the more without repentance.

That is why black men are still finding it difficult to grow higher financially, materially and physically like the white men, because the black men are lazy for book but the one that will found it inside the book they will be hiding it from other people not to see to make a contribution or be part of the impact, but once white men found it inside the book they will like to share the impact so that everybody around them will be part of the benefits from the book. I will advise you not to stop reading books that contain BTC, because a day is coming you will find favour from those books that will transform your life for good and your generation too.

"The Englishman would say, 'If you want to hide something from a black man, put it in a book.'

"Let me tell you something nobody else will tell you: hunger is a very good thing. Our people do not know this; that is why they remain poor. The feeling pushes you to do something that you did not imagine you could do before. You are very lucky to be chosen. This thing that Yinka has brought you people for is not for everyone"

Over the past few weeks, I have been spending time reading new books and exploring the internet for valuable insights. I found the book "My Mind Is No Longer Here" to be a very intriguing read. I spend 8 hours a day on the forum and 3 hours reading this book. It has unveiled secrets and untold wisdom. My knowledge has broadened, and I feel it would be nice to share with my fellow brothers. Some of us might have already read it, but regardless, let this thread also serve as a reminder so we won't forget the ethics we have learned from this book.
