Wilstino: You are correct about our over-dependence on importation being a bane on our economy. Coincidentally, that is also part of what the author clearly intends to communicate; people who are not productive but who insanely desire to flaunt (mostly imported) luxury items! |

The Bible: 2 Timothy chapter 3 Vs 1: You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times. Vs 2: For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. Vs 3: They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. Vs 4: They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. Vs 5: They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that! |

If you find yourself on the wrong end of the entitlement stick, here are some useful suggestions: 5 WAYS TO WORK ON ENTITLEMENT TENDENCIES 1. Practice perspective-taking: Take a recent example of a time you got annoyed with someone and spend 3 minutes writing about the situation from the other person’s perspective. Practice understanding what their agenda was. 2. Sensitize yourself to how good it feels to promote other people’s successes: There is an area of social psychology research called capitalization research, which shows that promoting other people’s successes has a positive effect on the sharer. To make a project out of it, try promoting someone else other than yourself at least once a day for 30 days. 3. Use cognitive restructuring: Take any of the entitlement tendencies you can relate to and consider alternative evidence and perspectives. For example, what are some reasons the same rules that apply to everyone else should also apply to you? What are some reasons why keeping peace and avoiding upsetting or offending people (unless absolutely necessary) is a virtue? What are some examples of how people are generally more generous to you than you are to them? 4. Observe what happens when you curb your entitlement tendencies: Do relationships run smoother? Do you find it's easier for you to sustain relationships without you burning other people out? Do you end up feeling less annoyance? Do people end up ing you more because you’re ing them? Understanding when curbing your entitlement tendencies actually benefits you is a great way to reinforce making changes. 5. Catch yourself if you fall into the moral licensing trap: Moral licensing is a cognitive distortion in which people internally justify things they do that are wrong. It’s a common tendency; see if you can catch yourself doing it. For example, develop mindful awareness of thoughts like “It’s okay to take more than I give in X situation because...” SOURCE: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/in-practice/201303/9-types-entitlement-tendencies-and-how-overcome-them 1 Like |

Having a sense of entitlement is believing that you deserve certain privileges — and being arrogant about getting them. Apparently, too many Nigerian women believe that the moment a guy becomes their boyfriend, his money becomes theirs. It’s almost as if saying yes to a guy is entering into an agreement to co-own his bank and its contents. Way too many Nigerian ladies actually do feel entitled to your money just because they are your girlfriend. Because many are ever hoping for that luxurious life they never had a taste of, girls grow up wanting men who would spoil them, guys who would spend all the money, 'use enjoyment to kill them' and grant them access to all the perks that come with wealth. Many women still hope to become rich and live the good life just by relationship or marriage to a rich man. The idea that a boyfriend does not have any obligation to give you any part of his money will sound alien to some ladies reading this, and it is absolutely understandable. This is because for such a long time, the dating culture around here has been that unless you are willing to spend as a guy, you’re not ready to be in a relationship. If you have always thought differently, this will be a bitter pill to swallow but you need to know that your boo does not owe you ANY of those things he gives or does for you. No one owes you anything. Not at all. ...Above paragraphs are quoted from a Pulse.Ng article by Ayoola Adetayo on 23 Sept 2019: https://www.pulse.ng/lifestyle/relationships-weddings/when-will-women-stop-feeling-entitled-to-boyfriends-money/zjf50gx 1 Like |
