We may detest this masquerade or other masquerades from Nkporo, but the truth must be told. It is part of our origin. No two ways about it!

MEN WHO TALK TOO MUCH NEVER BUILD ANYTHING

Most men are not brøke because they lack ideas.
They are broke because they talk too much.

They announce plans they never execute.
They explain dreams instead of working on them.
They argue, gossip, and overshare — then wonder why nothing changes.

Talking makes men feel busy.
But building requires silence.

The men who actually win move quietly.
They don’t explain.
They don’t announce.
They just build.

If this offends you, good.
Read on.

1. Talking too much is a sign of weak self-control.
A man who cannot control his mouth usually cannot control his emotions, his desires, or his spending.
He reacts to everything.
He explains himself to everyone.
He argues instead of acting.
Self-control starts from the mouth.

2. Men who talk too much leak their plans.
They announce ideas before action.
They tell people what they are about to do instead of doing it.
Once the excitement of talking is gone, the motivation to act dies.
Builders move first, then talk later.

3. Noise attracts distraction.
When you talk too much, you invite opinions.
Advice you didn’t ask for.
Doubters.
Mockery.
Energy drainers.
Silence protects focus.

4. Talkative men chase validation, not results.
They want to sound smart.
They want to be praised.
They want attention.
But real progress is boring, quiet, and lonely.
Men who build are too busy working to perform.

5. Talking too much exposes your weaknesses.
Your fears
Your frustrations
Your insecurities
Your emotional triggers

The more you talk, the more people learn how to ma-nip-ulate you.
A quiet man is harder to read, harder to control.

6. Men who talk too much waste time.
They debate instead of deciding.
They complain instead of correcting.
They explain instead of executing.
Time wasted talking is time stolen from growth.

7. Silence builds respect.
People respect men who speak with purpose.
Not men who talk just to be heard.
When a man speaks less, his words carry weight.

Stay focused!

A typical Igbo adage says, "when a child washes his hands, he dines with the elders". He has washed his hands both politically and otherwise, he should dine. It is not negotiable!
