The Tinder Swindler🎬

 


Apparently when this movie started showing on Netflix, I was busy with my final year stress, exams and projects inclusive so I had little or no time to watch movies as that.


The movie revolves round a social media fraudster known as Simon who put up an expensive lifestyle on the Tinder dating app to swindle women who have basically fallen in love with him and believed him to be true. These three women victims basically were the ones narrating their ordeals that became a movie.


He claimed to be the son to a wealthy family who deal in diamonds and convinces people with the documentation of his luxurious lifestyle on social media especially on instagram.


Can we say dating app is now bad? Well, no. There have been so many experiences of people who have met their partners on these dating sites and are still doing well.


Okay now, I want to believe those that fall for people like Simon are the ones who are attracted by prodigious lifestyle. Awon long-throat babes and guys who seek validation online. Social media is what we take it to be and our motive on it really matters.


A lot of people out here are looking for preys to devour. They are as broke as church rat but are pretentious in order to attract rich people. There's a saying that "you attract your kind of people." Meaning that when you look rich, there's a tendency that well-to-do individual become your friend. The ladies were not 419 in this case, they were simply looking for the perfect match.


So I heard of a story about a family who are in the lower class category but because they believe that when their children move with rich people, they would likely be upgraded too, they had to take a loan to send their first child to a private institution hoping that when the child moves with those wealthy children their standards would be changed. In the long run, the proposed wealthy children he became friends with in school are also from a poor background hoping to become friends with influentials. They both became loosers.


As yoruba would say "tani ko gbon ogbon ka feran senu ka wati (who doesn't know the wisdom of a piece of meat disappearing in the mouth)." When you're trying to fake your personality on social media, someone dubious too is out there to get you. And when you eventually fall into such person's hands, you'll be swindled of that little you have. You think say you dey wise? Lol


The koko of the matter is, no one writes the kind of person they are on their foreheads, I mean those you meet online particularly. That cool one with a very alluring profile may be very deadly and vice versa. 


Well sha, I do not like how the movie ended cos the swindler didn't get the punishment he deserved as something was not right in there.


One thing I've relearned is not be blinded by fine pictures, followers, expensive vacation and the likes, it just could be a bait. Follow your instincts. It's importanter! Don't give out so many information and details about you to someone you've barely known. It just could be dangerous.


Do not be so loose and careless all in the guise of being an extrovert and a fun to chat with kinda person.

The days are evil and some people are evil likewise. Be wise as serpent.


So, do you want to share your experience with someone you met online?Good or bad?

Can I live your life for you??

What happens when a lot of people are pointing out the right way you ought to live for you? The moment someone says "it's done this way" and another tell you "that way would be better" All you put yourself to is simply FRUSTRATION. Generally speaking, we love acceptance as human beings. We want to do things that would make people proudly have our backs and say yes, that's my friend or that's my child. The moment we crave for people's acceptance, we tend to be vulnerable by giving ears to what people around us say so that when they tell us they don't like what we've done, we just at times gullibly adjust that thing even when we knew we had done nothing wrong. This act is referred to as PEOPLE- PLEASING.  It happens when we are so conscious of what people might say about us so as not to break ties with friends or loved ones.  When people around us notice this vulnerability, they would be delighted in tossing us to and fro like they do to coins ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
