A SIMP IS LIKE A WALKING DEAD

13 Hard Truths About Why Women Use Weak Men (And How You’re Letting It Happen)
Read this twice if you’ve ever been ghosted, played, or heartbroken by a girl you “treated like a queen.”

Let’s be real:

Simping doesn’t make you loyal. It makes you ******.

Women don’t respect the guy who bends over backward. They use him.
They collect his time, his money, his energy—and when they’re done, they vanish without saying thank you.

Let’s break it down:

1. She’ll Act Single in Public, But Collect ‘Girlfriend Benefits’ in Private

You’re paying her bills, driving her around, doing boyfriend duties…
Meanwhile, she’s posting thirst traps and replying “lol” to other men’s DMs.
You’re loyal to her. She’s loyal to attention.

2. She’ll Use Your Kindness as Leverage

You think being sweet makes her love you.
No sir—it makes her comfortable. She’ll keep you in her life because you’re useful, not because she’s attracted.
You're not her dream guy—you're her safety net.

3. She’ll Make You Compete With Other Men (And Call It “Being Honest”)

She’ll say, “I’m just talking to people, nothing serious…”
Yet she expects exclusivity from you.
You’re playing by boyfriend rules in a situationship built to drain you.

4. She’ll Withhold Sex to Control You

Once she knows you’re desperate to keep her, intimacy becomes a weapon.
She’ll give you crumbs and say, “I’m not in the mood,” while giving another guy the full buffet.
You’ll wait months… someone else is getting it tonight.

5. She’ll Say You’re Too Nice—Then Run to a Man Who Treats Her Like an Option

Truth bomb: Nice doesn’t attract. Strength does.
You’re emotionally available. He’s emotionally scarce.
Guess who she’s obsessed with? Not the one texting her good morning.

6. She’ll Use You for Free Therapy and Dump Her Emotional Luggage on You

She’ll vent. Cry. Trauma dump.
You’ll spend hours listening, thinking you’re building connection.
Then she’ll feel “better” and go back to chasing the guy who gives her butterflies and stress.

7. She’ll Leave You When You Finally Set Boundaries

You’ll say, “I don’t like that you go clubbing every weekend.”
She’ll call you insecure and controlling.
Bro, she was never going to change. She was waiting for an excuse to bounce.

8. She’ll Borrow Money and Never Pay Back
She’ll cry about rent.

You’ll send 30k. She’ll post her nails the next day.
You won’t ask for it back, because “you don’t want her to feel bad.”
Now she knows you’re a cash machine with emotions.

9. She’ll Publicly Humiliate You—Then Say You’re Too Sensitive

She’ll talk down on you in front of friends. Joke about your hustle. Compare you to her ex.
And when you react, she’ll say, “I was just playing.”
That’s not love. That’s disrespect wrapped in sarcasm.

10. She’ll Make You Feel Lucky to Have Her—Even Though She Brings Nothing to the Table

You’re the one planning dates, paying bills, calling, texting, doing everything.
What does she bring? Just her looks.
And you feel “lucky” to have her? Wake up.

11. She’ll Leave You Emotionally Drained—Then Say She’s the Victim

You gave her your heart, your loyalty, your peace.
She left you anxious, confused, and depressed.
Then she’ll cry on Instagram and call all men “toxic.”
The manipulation is spiritual.

12. She’ll Come Back When Her ‘Alpha’ Broke Her Heart

After getting played by the guy she really wanted, she’ll return with fake remorse.
“I miss you.” “You were the good one.”
She doesn’t love you. She loves your stability. And she’s only here till she heals enough to leave again.

13. She’ll Move on Fast—Because She Never Really Cared Like You Did

While you’re crying over her old texts, she’s laughing at brunch, collecting validation.
You gave your all to someone who gave you half. And the worst part? She doesn’t even feel guilty.

FINAL TRUTH:
You’re not unlucky with women.
You’re just addicted to being used because it feels like love.

The solution?
Stop being the man who chases. Be the man who builds.
The man who sets standards. The man who makes women EARN his time.
The man who knows his worth.

Women don’t respect simps. They respect structure.

Let her chase. Or let her go.

YOU CAN'T BEAT MOTHERS IN THE GAME OF RELATIONSHIP... THEY ARE DETECTIVES

My mom once visited my hostel where I share a 2 bedroom boardinghouse with a female student, Trina.

One day my mom invited Trina for lunch, which she obliged. So as we were eating, my mother couldn't help but notice how pretty Trina was.

And she had been suspicious of me having a relationship with Trina for a long time as it wasn't her first time visiting.

While having lunch, I noticed that she kept watching how the two of us were interacting and she started giving me that "I know something's up* look.

Knowing my mom, I quickly said, "I know what you must be thinking but I assure you we are just roommates." Well she just smiled and didn't say a word

About a week later, Trina came to me saying,

"J, ever since your mother came for lunch, I have been unable to find the silver plate in the kitchen. Don't you think your mother took it, first ask her?"

I said, "Well I doubt it, but I will text her just to be sure."

3 days ago, I sat down and wrote

“Dear mom

After your visit to my place, the silver plate has been missing.

And no I am not saying that you are the one who took the silver plate from my house,

and I am not saying that you didn't take it but the fact remains that it has been missing ever since you were here for lunch.

your Loving son”

Earlier today, I received a text from my mother which read,

"Dear Son,

I am not saying that you sleep with your roommate and I am not saying that you don't sleep with her

but the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her bed, she would have found the silver plate by now because I put it under her pillow"

We’ve been told to worry about fluoride in our water, but how much do we know about other chemicals, like Atrazine? This herbicide has been shown to disrupt hormonal balance and affect human health in unexpected ways. The systems that control what goes into our food and water often have questionable motives. It’s essential that we educate ourselves about what we're really consuming, and start asking the tough questions. How much do you know about the chemicals in your life?

Aba Power Launches Prepaid Meter Rollout, Creates Over 350 Jobs in Nigeria

Aba Power, Nigeria’s newest electricity distribution company, announced the launch of a prepaid meter rollout starting this month, which is set to create over 350 jobs in Abia State. The initiative aims to provide modern prepaid meters to all 350,000 customers in the Aba Ring-fenced Area within a year, replacing the estimated billing system.

Edise Ekong, Senior Brand and Communication Manager at Aba Power, revealed on Monday that the job creation stems from partnerships with three meter manufacturing firms: Kayz Consortium, Chint Power and Energy Services, and Eve Electric. Each partner is expected to generate over 100 direct jobs, including roles for meter assemblers, installers, transporters, warehouse workers, and security personnel.
Kayz Consortium will lead the initiative, assembling 90,000 meters from April to December 2025 at Aba Power’s premises in Osisoma Industrial Layout.

The firm is bringing eight expatriates from China to supervise a 130-person workforce and ensure quality control. These expatriates will train local workers to continue meter assembly and installation after their departure.

Starting in May, Chint Power and Energy Services and Eve Electric, both Chinese firms, will each deploy 34 installers to begin mass meter installations. Local companies, HAMPOC Utilities Limited and M E Meters, will also contribute to the project. Kayz Consortium is set to install 20,000 meters in April, followed by an additional 20,000 meters by the other firms within four weeks.

Ekong emphasized that the rollout will enhance transparency and accountability, benefiting both customers and the company. “Meters make for a win-win situation, ensuring customer satisfaction and ending complaints about estimated billing,” he said.
