Let me tell you a secrete. I don’t know about other countries o, but in Nigeria, ‘You need connection more than you need distinction’. Be of good character with the people you meet and make more friends while in school and even out of school. Don’t just be brilliant, be smart.
Many decades later, still same story. Insecurity, scarcity, bad road, poor electricity, bad governance, hard life. Thumbs up to Africa China and other music legends who documented the situation of Nigeria in songs years ago. #SadStory
Stay in the light and speak the truth at all time, it may be scary, may hurt, and may cost you friendships. Know that pretense is never rewarded and it can only cause you grievous harm in the long run.
They no longer use uneducated thugs, they now use your educated children to defend their interests both online and offline. It’s a shift no one noticed.
Suddenly the man going out early and coming home late to hustle is no longer your dad, it’s that little you. Sometimes it feels like time is not moving “January is too slow”, until we start seeing grey hair. Time is a delicate thing! Be conscious of it.
@Olaolu_olaniyi The National anthem was changed from “Arise o compatriot” to “Nigeria we hail thee” not because it makes more sense or sounds much better. The reason is between the first lines.
The health sector has been in limbo for over two months due to ongoing protests, yet it barely gets attention. No headlines, no emergency talks, no sense of urgency. While the silence continues, the masses suffer; people who simply need care but can no longer afford or access it.
“If i do this for u, you will do that for me” or “If u do this for me, i will do that for u”. This is not genuine love, it is transactional relationship and that is the kind of relationship some people have with God. God does what pleases Him without ur pledges . He is God.
When u hide/detach from the world, ur presence slowly fades from memory. People remember those they see, hear, & connect with. Withdrawal may bring peace or healing, but prolonged absence turns into invisibility. To be remembered, u must remain meaningfully visible.
Try something different next year. Look far beyond what you can see, try new location, learn new skill, further your education, change people with bad influence, mind your business, face your life, don’t give Caesar anything, and don’t pray more than you work. God is good🙏
Hard working people are the most appreciative people. No matter how little you give them, they value it because they know how hard it could be to get the little you gave freely.
Once you are done; Read your conclusion first then your introduction. If there is no harmony between the two, one of the two is astray. Find the missing link.
