When someone ignores you, it can be hurtful and confusing

When someone ignores you, it can be hurtful and confusing. But before you react, it's important to take a step back and ask yourself if their behavior is intentional. 

Are they deliberately ignoring you, or are they simply busy or preoccupied with other things? Not all ignoring is deliberate. If you're certain that the person is intentionally ignoring you, here's a strategy to consider: ignore the ignored. 

Instead of reacting to their ignoring, try ignoring their behavior in return. The idea behind this approach is to make them wonder why you're not bothered by their actions.

 They may be trying to play with your emotions or manipulate you emotionally, but if they see that you're not reaching out to them, not responding to their messages or calls, and simply going about your life as if they don't exist, their tactic of ignoring you will likely backfire. 

Think of it like this: remember how when you're desperately in need of a taxi, none seem to be available, but when you don't need one, they suddenly appear everywhere? 

Similarly, when you carry on with your life without being affected by their ignoring behavior, they'll eventually face a choice: either to continue ignoring you, which will make them look childish and immature, or to reach out to you and explain their behavior. 

Either way, you'll be in a better position to deal with the situation from a position of strength.

The Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators has revoked the ceasefire it declared years ago, launching what it now calls "Operation Hunger Lion" in response to the current economic hardships facing Nigerians, particularly those in the Niger Delta. This decision was announced in a statement released on Saturday following an emergency meeting where the coalition reviewed the state of the nation, with a focus on the challenges facing Nigerians, especially the Niger Delta region. According to the statement obtained by SaharaReporters , the coalition is demanding that the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Mele Kyari, and his team be investigated and held accountable for the missing N164 billion, with a call for their immediate dismissal. The coalition stated, "We have observed that corruption in the country has reached unprecedented levels, particularly within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, NNPCL, Power Sector, Education, and

18+, The Trobrianders : The Tribe Where Kids Start Having Sex At 6 – Papua, New Guinea

Image
These islanders from a remote tribe in Papua guinea seem like a case study in the ultimate consequences of the sexual revolution. Girls want sex just as much as guys, and kids start having sex at a very young age — 6-8 for the girls and 10-12 for the guys — with no social stigma. They change partners often. Women are just as assertive and dominant as men in pursuing or refusing a lover.  This is not only allowed but encouraged. There are few customs about dating to inhibit “hooking up” and, of course, revealing clothing has been taken to its limit, with girls actually going topless. However, everybody have sex whenever they want. In the Trobriand Islands, there is no traditional marriage ceremony. A young woman stays in her lover's house instead of leaving it before sunrise. The man and woman sit together in the morning and wait for the bride's mother to bring them cooked yams. The married couple eat together for about a year, and then go ba

A Bold Approach to Nigeria's Future: Border policies, Food Security, and Economic Integrity

This is a strong message to every Nigerian and Africans at large about improving the Nigerian economy and addressing issues like border control and food prices. The speaker's perspective seems to resonate with all, even if he might not have the formal credentials of a professor or Ph.D. holder. The points he mention—such as the closure of borders and government investment in food production—are significant. Border closure can indeed help protect local industries and reduce reliance on imports, potentially leading to more self-sufficiency. However, for such a policy to succeed, it must be coupled with measures to support local farmers and prevent monopolies, which can drive up prices. State governments investing directly in food crops could help stabilize food supply and control prices, ensuring that the benefits of border closures reach the broader population.  Additionally, federal government involvement in price regulation could prevent exploitation and ensure that essential good
