Would you consider someone who knows your partner is cheating on you but chooses not to tell you a real friend?

Neo, what you have is social capital, and to a large extent social proof. If there's a Maslow's hirearchy for business, that is the peak. I can confidently say you've attained that through the valuable relationships with @Wizarab10 and co, and your own acute attention to execution and excellent delivery. A young man starting out life needs to build to that point and that comes in two ways: referrals, and first impressions. Folks like myself starting from scratch didn't have any referral in tech, for instance. We moved with the impressions derived from the knowledge we projected. A young man without social capital needs to "package" to project same or guarantee a first impression of capacity. If I'm about to sign a multimillion dollar deal with someone and I see him jumping keke, I'll have a tug in my chest that this person doesn't have the capacity to handle that deal. It's natural. This is why Investment Banks give exorbitant titles to mid level employees and call them "Vice President." In Goldman Sachs alone, you have more than 2000 "Vice Presidents," many of them not up to 30 years of age. It's part of the same principle of social capital. Because they have clients with deals of millions of dollars and those clients need to have the guarantee that they are interacting with someone with capacity. On attainment of social capital, a "Peter Obi" can jump down from maruwa and sign a $2 billion deal, on account of his name. We can't deny human bias. And I partly get your point, but while some 'small boys' squander money, those who are planning their futures need to package themselves till they get to the peak of social proof -- an envious spot you currently occupy.

Men age like wine Meanwhile a large majority of you guys when you cross 30 Without money most of these small children you like to bed won’t give you the time of day.

Lmaol. It's the way y'all hype this Anambra for me 😂😂

I was having a chat with a friend who thinks Nigeria is better off divided like North and South Korea. I asked him a question How do you intend the South would survive without food? He had this confusing look on his face? What do you mean the South can not survive without the North? The South has land and young people we will farm and produce our own food. I asked again... With which land? He said we have land now... I told him no the South doesn't have enough land that will feed it's high population. Also Southern youth aren't interested in agriculture compared to the North. More than half of the food we eat in the south are from the North. If you go to those states that borders the South and North (Abuja, Kogi, Kwara etc) you'll understand the amount of food haulage that happens every minute of everyday. The South has oil, the north has food. We are so integrated we can't do without ourselves. We depend everyday on each other for survival. We can only call for good leadership to bring out the best in our human and capital resources. May God bless and keep Nigeria.

If I ever specialise in Obstetrics it will be solely so I can say "I always deliver."
