"Don't abandon the leprosy while trying to cure the ringworm"
Language is important, It carries the culture and heritage of Our People, but Let's focus on the problems and solutions for Lagos.
Our business here is governance. @GRVlagos@BOGbadams#OurLagos#MakeÈkóGreatAgain
Few years back, where I worked as a security guard, robbers came to rob and I was arrested and detained for 2 weeks. When I finally got out, I lost my job and became homeless because I was only doing night shifts.
I went to my church, Winners Chapel (Glory House, Igando), where I used to share fliers every day. I met the pastor and explained everything. He told me to attend service at Canaan Land first.
Bro, I was literally smelling. I just wanted to bathe and eat. 😭 I still went to Canaan Land smelling, hoping someone would help me. After service, the pastor’s only advice was that I should go back to the village.
Another pastor told me I hadn’t been a member for up to a year. They didn’t even let me sleep in the church.
I was homeless for months. That experience broke something in me. I no fit enter church again, bro. Not in this life.
a man doesn't have 100s of women who think of him. a man infact truly has no one. women have 100s of people who think of her. only a man is capable of the ultimate sacrifice.
Erkekler gece 4’e kadar uyanık kalabilir, sabah 6’da kalkabilir, borç içinde olabilir, beş kuruşsuz kalabilir, yalnız olabilir ama yine de bir gün her şeyin yoluna gireceğine inanır.
İşte buna erkek olmak denir.
Mr Banks, who couldn't afford ₦5,000 to buy foodstuffs in 2020, can now afford $5 million in 2026 to buy a Cybertruck.
The guy he begged for ₦5,000 that year, he now rewards him with ₦5 million in 2026.
This also takes me back to my friend, who came to my house in 2015 to borrow my Toyota Matrix 2005, so he could visit his then-fiancée's mother, in the suburbs of Ikorodu.
When he returned, my car was faulty, even though I had given it to him in good condition. I called mechanics and consulted almost every expert I could find, but nobody could fix it for three weeks. It wasn't until we employed the services of a car diagnostic engineer that we discovered it was a brain box problem.
Throughout this period, which lasted almost a month, he didn't call or ask what was wrong with the car he had borrowed. I paid for everything myself, and eventually got a new brainbox.
I was only pissed off because he didn't call to show any concern. I called and told him I wasn't happy about that. Even after I fixed it, a few months later, he still borrowed it for his introduction ceremony, and I didn't decline.
Today, he is one of the biggest clearing agents on Tin Can Island, Apapa. His business has earned him nothing less than five houses in the heart of Apapa. He also owns three warehouses in Egbeda, which he bought outrightly.
The last time he came visiting, during my first child's naming ceremony, he saw that I was using a 2009 Toyota Camry. He told me I was too big to be driving that kind of car and that he knew I wouldn't speak up even when I needed something.
The next day, he called, and asked to meet him in Magodo. He bought me a 2023 Toyota Camry, which my wife now drives.
After some time, I asked myself: What if I had listened to the people who advised me to stop lending him my car after he returned it faulty? Would he have thought about me this way today?
Kindness and human investment are the greatest forms of investment. They can yield returns that even Dangote's IPO shares may not match. If you keep getting it clear, keep using it to clear road for people who are in dire needs around you, without expecting nothing in return.
Sometimes, the people you help when they have nothing are the same people who remember you when they have everything.
The Paradox of Choice; the more options you have, the less satisfied you are with your final decision even if you chose the best option by all standards.
Oh my glass cup!!! is some women's audacity for me? These girls nowadays have mad audacity. How do you think you can bag me, the whole of me when all you do is a 9-5? You don't even have a business running overseas and you want to bag me, girl go get your money up
My girlfriend of a whole 6 months wants to collect the things she bought for me and close down the shop she opened for me because I cheated on her with my ex, upon the fact she has been enjoying me for free since 6 months now, I refused. I didn't force her to elevate my life
Shaming your poor friends is just ridiculous. This is why many of you are miserable and depressed.
A guy doesn’t have money but he’s willing to pull his weight with errands, how is that a bad thing? This discourse reeks.
I love intentional women with all parts of my body, guyy. I told this girl that I don't have a phone she took me straight to a mobile shop in her GLE and bought me an iPhone 18 pro max just to get my number. Guylies, y'all deserve a woman like that, don't settle for less oh 🕛it
