I think some parents get so focused on giving their baby a unique name that they forget they’re also naming a future 42-year-old who’s going to have to introduce themselves in a work meeting.
I saw a video of a widow explaining her frustrations in retrieving a meager N395k from her late husband's account.
Her husband died over a year ago.
My fellow Nigerian men, we need to talk.
If anything happens to you today, can your wife confidently say:
“I know the banks my husband uses.
I know where his important documents are.
I know about his investments, pension and insurance.
I know who to contact.”
If not, please read this below:
A woman losing her husband is already dealing with enough pain.
She shouldn't also have to start asking friends, relatives and colleagues whether they know where her husband kept his money.
“Which bank was he using?”
“Did he have another account?”
“He mentioned an investment somewhere, but where?”
“Where are the land documents?”
“Did he have insurance?”
These are questions that can become overwhelming when someone is already grieving.
Brothers, financial secrecy is not a legacy.
Sit down with your wife and explain the important parts of your financial life.
Let her know your banks, investments, pension arrangements, insurance policies, properties, major debts and where important documents can be found.
Prepare a will and keep relevant beneficiary information updated.
And please, this doesn't mean dropping your ATM PIN and every password in a WhatsApp message.
Keep sensitive information secure.
The goal is for your wife to know what exists, where the records are and how to begin the appropriate process if you're no longer around.
You worked hard for what you have.
Don't let poor preparation make it unnecessarily difficult for your wife and children to deal with what you leave behind.
Talk about money.
Organise your documents.
Plan your estate.
Protect your family.
I have written this thread on the assumption that a man will die before his wife.
Which for me, should be a good prayer for a man who married a good wife, like myself.
Being a responsible husband isn't only about providing for your family while you're here.
It's also about making sure they are not left confused and helpless when you're gone.
End.
In my university days, I didn’t date anyone in school, didn’t sleep with anyone, didn’t bribe any security guy nor lecturers.
Read, sold palm oil on the side, passed all my exams, graduated.
Now I have my own apartment, I travel, live comfortably with a good steady income. Have assets and investments.
I know ladies who did the opposite and are not doing half as good as I’m doing now.
So yes, “Good girl Dey pay.”
You people should stop this propaganda and let women choose how to live. Good girl ohh, bad gorl, let them choose.
Stop trying to tell young girls that being “good girls” is not rewarding.
DELETING YOUR BROWSING HISTORY DOESN'T DELETE YOUR BROWSING HISTORY. GOOGLE KEEPS ITS OWN COPY, TIED TO YOUR ACCOUNT, ON A PAGE MOST PEOPLE HAVE NEVER OPENED. HERE'S HOW TO WIPE ALL OF IT:
Guys, when you are in a long-term relationship with a good woman, try everything you can to improve her. I don’t just mean with material things. Remember: “I even bought her IPhone and “Bone Straight” is for weak and inferior men. Yes, you will do those but they shouldn’t be your claim to fame.
Improve her professionally, academically (if she wants) and financially, and give her security. You will benefit from it more than you think.

I posted yesterday on why a Nigerian will have 30million naira and instead of venturing into business here, he decides to japa just to start from nothing.
It doesn’t sit well with me.
However, after reading many comments, i decided to take cognizance of a menace in Nigerian business set up. It is not insecurity nor government policies, it is UNTRUSTWORTHY NIGERIAN EMPLOYEES.
Prince Isaac Fayose once lamented about how he had to close down his Amala joint business because his staff were brutally dishonest
We have a morally bankrupt human capital base.
The level of staff theft many infant businesses face in Nigeria is extremely high.
I know a guy who opened a restaurant last year but shut it down this year.
Guess the problem?
It wasn’t because people stopped eating food.
Nigeria’s population didn’t suddenly reduce.
It wasn’t even because the cost of ingredients became unbearable.
Not really because of fuel price inflation either.
His cooks were the problem.
They would secretly bring their own rice, meat, and other cooking ingredients into the kitchen.
They would prepare the food and serve it to customers.
This guy saw customers trooping into his restaurant every day, yet his bank account wasn’t growing.
His staff had secretly created their own restaurant inside his restaurant
During stock audits, all the food items would still be complete because they weren’t stealing his ingredients.
They were simply using his kitchen, his tables, his chairs, his electricity, his gas, and his customers to run their own business.
So while sales appeared to be booming, his revenue remained flat.
The secret was eventually exposed when the staff had a disagreement among themselves
The owner became so frustrated that he shut down the restaurant just to protect his peace of mind and keep his blood pressure from rising
Today, those same staff are probably unemployed and blaming the Federal Government for not providing jobs.
Many Nigerians prefer leaving their money idle in the bank rather than investing in a physical business.
They are trying to avoid unnecessary high blood pressure.
Stop stealing from your employer.
If the salary is below your expectations, resign, find another job, or start your own business.
Destroying someone else’s business won’t build yours.

May Nigeria win🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
This is facts but also true story, believe it or not, not everyone wants to relocate from Nigeria too.
Ask any colleague I've worked with right from time, they'd have heard me say, "I really don't want to relocate".
Earlier colleagues thought I was just talking till I entered Microsoft, and had THE MEANS to migrate, but decided to turn into a part time stocks trader (thereby losing most of my monies then like a fool, by the way).
I don't have anything against people looking to migrate, but I consider visiting and coming back and enjoying my money much more better. Besides, some of us are from small families, if we travel, who will remain? lol.
Meanwhile, top guys like the guy who built much of Flutterwave's backend is at Yaba here and shares the same sentiments. I go nowhere except for vacation.
It is an absolute shame that the Christian church in Nigeria has become a platform for thieves, criminals and heartless wicked politicians.
This message here is long long overdue.
I wish every Nigerian will see this video
I stopped attending my favourite church in Lagos because a well-known theiving politician came and the pastor asked everyone to stand up and give him a "Hallelujah welcome".
I stood up, walked out and never went back.
A man who fought his way out of the trenches carries a deep memory of struggle.
He remembers the days when resources were scarce, opportunities were limited, and survival required discipline and sacrifice.
Those experiences shape his thinking about life, family, and responsibility.
Success for such a man is not just measured by wealth or status, but by stability and the ability to build a better future than the one he came from.
Growing up in a large family often means witnessing firsthand how stretched resources can become.
When many children depend on limited income, each child may receive less attention, fewer opportunities, and reduced financial support.
A man who experienced this reality understands the pressure it places on both parents and children.
Because of this, he becomes more intentional about family planning, ensuring that every child he brings into the world can be properly supported.
Success also changes perspective.
A man who built his name from nothing understands that raising children is not only about feeding them but also about investing time, education, and guidance into their lives.
He wants to provide quality education, emotional presence, and a strong foundation that allows his children to compete in a complex modern world.
Having too many children can dilute those efforts and make it difficult to give each child the attention they deserve.
Furthermore, a self-made man values structure and strategy.
The same discipline that helped him escape the trenches often guides how he builds his family.
He knows that true legacy is not measured by the number of children he has but by the strength, values, and opportunities he passes on to them.
Fewer children often means better planning, stronger investment in their development, and a greater chance for each child to succeed.
Ultimately, a man who rose from hardship understands the difference between survival and legacy.
His goal is not simply to reproduce but to create a generation that stands taller than he did.
By choosing to have a manageable number of children, he ensures that his success becomes a foundation rather than a burden.
In doing so, he turns his hard-earned victory over the trenches into a lasting advantage for the next generation.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. I wrote this chant for mothers about 20years ago, the Ibile group came to see me today at the studio and I decided to chant with them. Do you want to hear more chants from me?
I doubt you would have been a medical doctor if your first 30 years was in the UK. You definitely won't have been able to afford it or would been indebted to the government of the UK to the tunes of over 70k pounds.
In your 30yrs in Nigeria, the government subsidized your education and made it easy for you to earn the capital with which you embark on your 6yrs journey in the UK. The 30yrs in 9ja gave you a solid foundation upon which your growth in the UK was built.
You should be smart enough to know this but social media validation trumps intelligence most times.
