My dad once followed a hotel porter down two flights of stairs over a bottle of water. It became one of the most important money lessons of my life growing up.
Years ago, he traveled to Abuja on a business trip and lodged at a hotel. He got thirsty in his room and called downstairs for a bottle of water.
A porter brought it up, Ragolis, and handed him a bill for ₦2,500. My dad looked at it and asked why water cost that much. The man explained that the water was ₦500, and the other ₦2,000 was the flat service charge for bringing it up to the room.
My dad handed the bottle back and told him to take it away. Then he got up, put on his slippers, and followed the porter all the way down to the bar.
When they got there, he picked up the same bottle himself, dropped ₦500 on the counter, and walked back up to his room.
He wasn't broke. He just wasn't going to pay four times the price of something because someone else could carry it up a flight of stairs. That was how he taught me, through a story where he dramatized the march downstairs to the laughter of the entire family, that you don't spend money just because you have it.
Two weeks I was at the mall with my son and he wanted water. We were in front of a restaurant selling it for 10 dirhams and he pointed and said let's get it here. I told him we were going to walk to the Carrefour a few meters away in the same mall instead.
He asked why we couldn't just buy from the first shop, and I told him he would find out when we got there. We got there and he was surprised to see the same bottle going for one dirham.
I can afford the 10 dirhams. But when two shops are almost side by side, why pay ten for what costs one?
We don't waste money or spend just because. If it were an emergency or the only shop around, that's a different thing. But it wasn't.
Sometimes you just walk the extra hundred meters.
fuel is no longer subsidized. even federal universities, which are supposed to be affordable, are now expensive. we're paying a fortune for gas. housing is out of reach for many people. security is non-existent.
so what exactly is the government doing for us?
My purpose in the game is fulfilled ⭐️
I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it.
To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you.
The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling.
More of the journey to come.
Love,

Yes, like totally free.
The school is Let It Shine Academy located at Sangotedo, Lagos Island.
They should get more visibility for the type of service they render for parents who are not able to cater for their ward’s school fees honestly.
You cannot win UCL by luck.
You cannot win World Cup by luck.
You may be lucky with easy path, but no matter the luck of route, you still need to play at least two heavyweights before you win either of these.
That's why only 8 countries have won the WC and only 24 teams have won UCL in 71 editions.
