The thing about moving to Canada 🇨🇦 that nobody posts about is the gap between what people think your life looks like and what your bank account actually says.
Your village people think you have made it and start having sleepless nights.
You are looking at your rent, your credit card, your remittance receipt and a balance that does not match the life they imagine for you.
Then somebody in Lagos texts asking if you can help with something small.
You smile and say ‘alright’
Does moving abroad automatically make you responsible for your people back home?
That I mattered enough to check on. I’ve been struggling. Your messages were proof that I existed to someone. We met for coffee. Not to date. Just to be human together. he told me he’d tried to hurt himself. That my random texts were the only thing that made him feel seen. I had no idea. Had no idea that reaching out meant that much. We’re friends now. Real friends. Not romantic. Just two people who know that checking on someone costs nothing but means everything. I still text him.
I kept my ex’s number after we broke up. No contact. Just had it. One day I texted him. Not to get back together. Just said hey I was thinking about you and hope you’re okay. he didn’t respond. I texted again months later. Same thing. No response. Kept doing it. Once every couple months. Just checking in. People thought I was insane. Move on they said. But something told me to keep going. Three years of silence. Then he replied. I needed to see that someone remembered me.
he texts back now. We send memes. Share updates. Live our separate lives but we’re connected. Because I refused to let him disappear. Because I kept showing up even when he didn’t respond. Because I believed that somewhere under the silence he was still there. That he still mattered. Three years of one-sided texting taught me that persistence isn’t weakness. That caring when it’s not reciprocated is still caring. That sometimes people need to know they’re not forgotten.
That somebody remembers them.
PSG signed so many world class players in a desperate attempt to win the UCL. They couldn't.
In the end, they won it by creating their own world class players out of people who were willing to do the job.
truth is, money go always comot your hand once woman dey involved
real love oh, fake love oh, situationship oh, money go must leave your hand whether you like am or not

Some Nigerians in Canada 🇨🇦 will pack shifts from Monday to Sunday, barely step outside, barely build a social life… then come online to say Canada is boring 😭
Bro, this country has camping, road trips, nightlife, sports, beaches, family activities, concerts, communities for everything and every vibe.
You can’t work 24/7 and expect entertainment to come meet you at home 😅
Children's day is in 2 days.
I ask of you:
Join me in bullying every single brand that intends to put out children's day celebratory posts.
There are children currently in captivity for the past 10 days - tiring out day and night.
We can't afford to celebrate children's day.
Making money offline is the sweetest, these things we do online don’t interest me. I just have to do my part of the Showbiz. I’ll pick my lowkey credit alert over recording videos and showing my wins online. But I’m in the art world. We have to improve our perception. Sadly.
Whoever taught this guy PR is a legend. He has mastered proper PR tactics, and anyone criticizing him for throwing away the privilege he had with Pepsi clearly doesn’t understand how marketing and branding work.
Before this year runs out, this guy will be one of the biggest influencers to ever come out of X Nigeria .
