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.

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.

Kevin De Bruyne Wanted to Stay at Man City, But the Club Didn’t OFFER Him a Contract Despite His Willingness to Continue on the Same Terms

Kevin De Bruyne: "There was a bit of shock when I found out. I hadn’t received any offer from them the entire year, and Manchester City made their decision. Obviously, I was a bit surprised, but I have to accept it. Honestly, I still believe I can perform at a high level, like I’ve been showing, but I understand that clubs have to make decisions…"

"I still feel I have a lot to offer. I know I'm not 25 anymore, but I still feel capable of doing my job."

"I’m open to anything next because I need to consider the bigger picture — sporting reasons, family, everything together. I’ll make the decision that makes the most sense for me and my family."

"Man City told me their decision, but I can’t really speak to what they’re thinking internally. I still feel good, I've played more than I did last season, except for the hernia. I’m in good shape, and my rhythm is coming back."

"I don’t feel the need to share the exact reasons behind their decision because, at the end of the day, it’s more about business for them. It wasn’t really a long conversation; they just told me their decision. I have to accept the situation, even though I believe I can still do a good job. That’s it."

Poor Waitress Received Huge Tips from a Man, but Later Learned Why He Did It

On the outskirts of the city, in a quiet and peaceful area, there was a small establishment called “Ugolok” (“Corner”). This place didn’t aim to be popular among the trendy crowd but primarily attracted locals with its homely atmosphere. Aline had been working there for three years.

On the eve of a new workday, the girl methodically wiped down the tables, lost in anxious thoughts about the upcoming rent payments. Her financial situation had grown increasingly difficult since her mother’s passing. She had to pick up extra shifts, and her long-cherished dream of obtaining higher education was gradually slipping away.

“Alina, wake up! The guests will be here soon,” came the voice of Zina, the experienced older cook.

Aline snapped to attention and headed to the kitchen. Strict but fair, Zina always treated her warmly, feeding her during meals and sometimes even giving her pastries.

“I’m coming, Zina Petrovna!” Aline replied, adjusting her apron.

The day passed slowly: guests arrived and left the café while she continued with her duties—taking orders, engaging cordially with customers, and serving food. By the end of the day, her legs reminded her of the long hours of work.

When there wasn’t much time left before closing, the door creaked open, and a man in an impeccable suit entered. His expensive accessories, especially his watch, indicated considerable wealth. He chose a seat by the window, pulled out his phone, and began typing quickly.

Approaching with her notepad, Aline politely inquired about his order. The man looked up, and a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes, as if he recognized someone from the past.

“Bring a double espresso,” he said, continuing to scrutinize the girl intently.

This somewhat embarrassed her. She hurriedly noted the order while still feeling his intense gaze.

At the checkout, Aline noticed a large banknote tucked under the receipt—she had never received such generous tips before. When she tried to return the money, all she heard was a soft phrase: “Keep it, you deserve it.”

The following days passed in the same monotonous pattern: the man would come, order coffee, and leave generous tips. Zina Petrovna, noticing the continual gifts of fate, asked with concern, “What does that gentleman want from you?”

“I have no idea,” Aline shrugged. “He just comes in, drinks his coffee, and leaves the money.”

“Be careful, girl,” warned the cook. “Rich men don’t throw around such acts of charity.”

Indeed, the man made no attempts to initiate conversation or display any ill intentions. He simply came, observed, and left generous sums.

One evening, he left an amount equal to Aline’s monthly earnings. Unable to contain herself, she caught up with him in the parking lot.

“Wait!” she exclaimed, holding the money in her hands. “What does all this mean?”

The man turned, and in the glow of the streetlights, his face looked tired.

“My name is Pavel Andreevich,” he said after a pause. “Let’s meet tomorrow at the café ‘Melodiya’. There, I will explain everything.”

“Why?” Aline asked in surprise.

“I’ll explain tomorrow,” he replied as he opened his car. “After work. This is important for both of us.”

She spent the entire night sleeplessly, mulling over the possible reasons for such generosity. In the morning, she called a friend, recounting the strange man and the upcoming meeting.

“Are you out of your mind?” her friend exclaimed in fear. “What if he’s a dangerous person?”

“In such a suit?” Aline smiled.

“Even more reason!” her friend retorted. “Send me the address, text me his photo, and call every half hour!”

After work, Aline headed to “Melodiya”, where Pavel Andreevich was already waiting for her at a table in the corner.

“Hello,” she began, sitting down across from him. “Enough with the riddles. Explain yourself.”

Pavel Andreevich sighed, his hands noticeably trembling.

From Housemaid To Oga's Wife Episode Two

Martins and Nnenna continued their secret relationship without any problems. They acted normal during the day, pretending to be nothing more than an employer and his housemaid. Martins treated Jessica like a caring husband, and Nnenna did her house chores without drawing attention. But at night, everything changed. Martins would sneak out of his bedroom and go to Nnenna’s room. They would whisper, laugh, and hold each other in the darkness. It was the only time they could be together, and they cherished every moment.

"I'm enjoying this relationship. I have the woman I love right under my roof. There are no better feelings than this." Martins said to himself.

Jessica had no reason to suspect anything at first. She was living the life she wanted. It was a life of relaxation and comfort. Nnenna handled everything in the house, and Martins provided everything she needed. But after a while, she started noticing something strange. Martins would leave the bed at odd hours. It happened once, then twice. At first, she assumed he was just going to the toilet or stepping out for fresh air. But when it continued happening, she became curious. Why was her husband always leaving the bed in the middle of the night?

"Where does he always go to? This is becoming serious. How can he be leaving the house in such odd hours? I have to find out." Jessica said to herself.

Jessica decided to pay closer attention. She stayed awake some nights, waiting to see if it would happen again. And it did. Martins would quietly get up, check if she was asleep, and then leave the room. He always returned after about an hour. Jessica found it strange. Her husband never had this habit before. Something was not right. She needed to find out what was going on.

One night, Jessica made up her mind. She was not going to sleep. She wanted to see exactly where Martins was going. She lay still on the bed, pretending to be asleep. She even let out soft breaths to make it look real. The clock ticked, and soon, it was 2am. Right on time, Martins slowly got up. He turned to look at Jessica. She did not move. Satisfied that she was asleep, he tiptoed out of the room.

"Today, I must follow you to that place you always go to. I have to find out." She said.

Jessica waited for a few seconds, then quietly got up. She moved slowly, making sure her steps did not make any sound. She followed Martins, keeping a safe distance. She saw him go towards the boys’ quarters. She was confused. Why was he going there? The only person staying there was Nnenna, their housemaid. Jessica’s heart beat faster, but she remained calm. She wanted to see for herself.

Martins reached Nnenna’s door and knocked softly. Almost immediately, the door opened, and he stepped inside. Jessica gasped silently. She could not believe what she was seeing. Her husband had just entered the room of their housemaid. She moved closer and placed her ear near the door. At first, she heard whispers, then soft laughter. Her hands clenched into fists. Something was going on inside that room, and she had to know what it was.

Inside the room, Martins sat on the bed and pulled Nnenna close. He ki.ssed her forehead and smiled. “I missed you,” he whispered.

Nnenna smiled. “You saw me this evening,” she said, resting her head on his chest.

“That’s different,” Martins replied. “I miss holding you.”

Nnenna sighed. “I don’t like this sneaking around. It doesn’t feel right.”

Martins lifted her chin. “Be patient, my love. This is the only way we can be together for now.”

She nodded. She knew he was right, but it still felt wrong. She just wanted a normal life with the man she loved.

Jessica pressed her ear harder against the door. She heard voices, but she could not make out everything they were saying. She took a deep breath and stepped back. She needed to be sure before she acted. Then, suddenly, she heard something else—the unmistakable sound of ki.ssing. Her body stiffened. Her husband was in there, doing something with Nnenna? She was not sure, she could no longer control herself.

Jessica raised her hand and knocked loudly on the door. “Who is there?” she demanded.

Inside the room, Martins and Nnenna froze. Their eyes met, filled with shock and panic. The knocking continued.

“Open this door now!” Jessica shouted.

Martins jumped to his feet. “What do we do?” he whispered.

Nnenna’s hands shook. “She knows,” she said in a trembling voice.

Jessica banged on the door again. “Martins! I know you are inside there! Open this door before I break it down!”

Martins ran his hands through his hair. “Just stay calm,” he told Nnenna. He quickly grabbed his shirt and put it on. He needed to think fast. How was he going to get out of this situation?

Jessica stepped back and looked around. She was furious. She could not believe what was happening. Her husband was cheating on her—with their housemaid! And not just any housemaid, but the one she had trusted the most. She shook her head in anger. This was not going to end well.

Inside the room, Martins took a deep breath. “I have to open the door,” he said.

Nnenna grabbed his hand. “No! She will kill me.”

Martins sighed. “We can’t hide forever.”

The knocking became louder. Jessica was losing patience. “Martins! If you don’t open this door right now, I swear, I will scream and wake the whole neighborhood!”

"Waitim please. Don't open the door. I have an idea." Nnena said.

“Don’t settle for someone who tolerates you. Wait for the one who celebrates you.” - Bimbo Odukoya

Whenever I remember this quote by the late Bimbo Odukoya, it fires me up.

Too many people are stuck in situationships, or what they consider relationships where they are merely tolerated. They walk on eggshells. They shrink themselves. They over-explain, over-apologise, and over-perform just to feel enough.

In a relationship, when you are being tolerated, it feels like you’re an inconvenience. Like your existence is being managed, not embraced. And that is not love. That’s endurance. That’s someone folding their arms, watching the clock, waiting for the version of you that’s easier for them to handle.

Now contrast that with being celebrated.

Celebration looks like someone who lights up when they see you.

Someone who leans in to understand you, not just put up with your complexities. Someone who thanks God for you, prays with you, laughs with you, and sees your presence as a gift, not a burden.

Real love doesn’t make you feel hard to love.
It doesn’t reduce you to your flaws or make you question your worth every two weeks.

And no, waiting for that kind of love is not asking for too much. It’s asking for what’s healthy. What’s God-ordained. What’s sustainable.

So, if you’re in a relationship where you feel like someone is just “managing” you, I challenge you to ask yourself this: Why am I settling for survival when I was created for a wholesome love experience? Kai.

And you see this type? It is not forced. If it is there, it’s there. If it is not there, it is not there.

The love that celebrates you exists. But sometimes, God can’t release that person because you’re still busy holding on to the one who only tolerates you.

Please, choose someone that celebrates you. Choose a love that makes you feel like you’re home, not a guest overstaying their welcome.

You are not too much. You are not a burden. You are a person to be loved loudly, fully, intentionally.

Wait for that. And while you wait, become that for yourself first.

Breaking: Pope Francis Is Dead.

Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, has died at the age of 88 years at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta.
Naija News reports that Pope Francis was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on December 17, 1936.

A brief statement from the Vatican on its 𝕏 handle disclosed that the Catholic leader died on Monday (today).

“Pope Francis died on Easter Monday, April 21, 2025, at the age of 88 at his residence in the Vatican’s Casa Santa Marta,” it read.

On Easter Sunday morning, shortly after 11:30 am at the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis had a brief private meeting with the Vice President of the United States of America, James David Vance.

The Holy See Press Office gave news of the meeting and noted it lasted a few minutes and offered an opportunity to exchange Easter greetings.

Travelling to Italy with his family, Vance visited the Secretariat of State Saturday morning where he was welcomed by the Cardinal Secretary of State, Pietro Parolin, together with Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, Secretary for Relations with States and International Organisations.

A cordial conversation took place, according to the Holy See Press Office, during which the common commitment to protect the right to religious freedom and freedom of conscience was renewed. There was also an exchange of views on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations, with particular attention focused on migrants, refugees and those in prison,” Vatican News reported.

During the afternoon of Good Friday, the United States Vice President with his wife and three children attended the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion in Saint Peter’s Basilica, presided over by Cardinal Claudio Gugerotti, prefect of the Dicastery for the Eastern Churches.
