Nigerian men!!!
Many of you don’t treat women nicely tbh… it’s so bad! Believe me you don’t always have to deceive a woman with love just because [sic] you want her for 2 weeks or 1 month. If you want to play your games, avoid sensitive women who are looking for true love.
She also addresses sensitive ladies who are always quick to fall victim of such men because of the gestures they usually make towards.

The lady, identified as Angela Sughnen Doom, took to her Facebook to share in details how she was doing well in her first university before she eventually got expelled from the school but decided to start anew in a different school and gracefully was able to graduate with an even better grade.
Read her story,
MY STORY; A thread of What God does to a Woman who is determined to get to the finish line.
In 2016, I was a 400 level undergraduate student of a Nigerian University, I wasn’t a bad student(2:1 that year no be any body mate ) I was up and soaring And In the first semester of my year4 I was at the verge of being EXPELLED or rather got expelled, why?? I got involved in Examination misconduct, and that was how I fell down from that high pedestal I thought I was on.
I was broken, I was insulted, I was mocked, so many people were disappointed in me, to say I was depressed is an understatement, every one who knows me personally knows how Much I love school and the idea of it and most importantly the idea of being an Agricultural student, so you can imagine how broken I was to be in the position of getting expelled from the university, it was the most difficult period of my life.
However in the middle of all these struggle and pains which seemed unbearable, I picked myself up, even before I’ll be formally expelled I took necessary steps and applied to study in another university and thankfully I got the admission to study again at the New university.
That’s how I packed my bags on a fateful Monday and headed North, I didn’t even know what I was doing fully at the time, I went ahead regardless. I arrived my new school and everything was different, from people to culture, I was even more broken that I had to start again and all over but I was determined to start again no matter how hard it seemed so I kept going.
When I got there I told my self I was better than the person I had become and the circumstances that led me here and so I was determined to make a difference.
While I studied and took relevant exams in my new school, I no the even smile for exams hall don’t talk to me as I’ll definitely not talk to you! I wrote every single paper from the first to the last exam this time without giving or receiving an “a”, devoid of even the tiniest form of exams misconduct, because if God had to help me I had to keep my side of the deal.
Pain was my drive, God was my help and so I kept going and GOD helped me, the system was super tough but against all odds I d move the go.
On 11/11/2021 my final results were ready, I graduated after starting all over I paid so much!! But I got here, I didn’t just graduate, I graduated with a FIRST CLASS in my most priced field, a FIRST CLASS in Agriculture.
I did it
My God restored it all
Second slide is my forever mood
I’ve decided to share my story to encourage anyone going through something similar, it is enough that the mistake happened, it can not be undone, even if it’s injustice to you it can’t be undone, the best thing you can do is to pick yourself up and do what needs to be done and with GOD the light at the end will be way brighter than what you saw.
NEVER EVER GIVE UP.

Footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo has publicly agreed with claims that Lionel Messi ‘stole’ the Ballon d’Or from him and Robert Lewandowski.
It can be recalled that the Paris Saint-Germain star, Messi, won his seventh Ballon d’Or on Monday, November 29, after beating Lewandowski by 33 votes.
However, Ronaldo, a five-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, came in sixth with 435 votes.
Following Messi’s win, a fan account of Ronald called ‘Cristiano Ronaldo – The Legendary’, shared an Instagram post claiming Messi didn’t deserve the win.
Comparing Ronaldo’s 2021 achievements with Messi’s, the fan made snide remarks about Messi and described his accolade as ‘theft. Dirt. Shame. Simply regrettable.’
Read the full post below,
“Who saw, saw. Anyone who is smart enough knows who the real deserving ones are. Receiving awards without earning it is false happiness, without pride.’
’43 goals in the year, 6 goals in 5 games in this Champions League, all decisive and a guy who, regardless of age, continues to work miracles and is the guy who most impresses the world most often.
‘They still put the guy in 6th… Do you really think that 5 guys did more than him in the year? Never.
‘He could fight for this award calmly and the fight would be good with Lewandowski who in individual numbers was incredible and Bayern had a better season than Juventus and has been having a calmer season than United, but at the national selection level for example, Cristiano was much better.
And who does the prize go to? For Messi, who only won the Copa del Rey by Barcelona, ??he hasn’t scored a goal against Real Madrid since when Cristiano left, disappeared in the big games of the season, won the Copa America that was supposed to be every 4 years and do practically every year.
‘He didn’t score in the final or in the semifinal. And he’s been having a weak season with PSG individually.
‘For Cristiano to win this prize he has to be 300% unquestionable. It’s no use scoring the most beautiful bike of the year, being champion of everything by club, top scorer of everything and scoring a hat-trick in the World Cup, they still provide a way to take his prize.
‘With Messi, it’s the other way around. He can do a low-key season, way below, they’ll always find a way to favour him and give him the prize.”
Oddly, Ronaldo took to the comment section to agree with the post.
He commented “facts” with a thumbs up and side eye emoji.
