@genakhena That penalty was unnecessary. The guy also deliberately clipped his legs. Again African teams have to learn game management. Talent is not enough
If you look at the Forbes Rich List, no one there lists a bank account as their source of wealth. Money does not belong in a bank. Inflation means that bank accounts are liabilities. Wealthy people invest their money. If they need cash urgently, they liquidate assets. Almost every bank makes money by investing your money in the S&P 500. They frequently make 25% annual profits on your money, then pay you maybe 2.5% interest, and you are happy! Why not do what they do with your money? Google the S&P 500, the DJIA, mutual funds, REITs, and Gold ETF. Every year, they collectively give a Return on Investment of between 18-20%. Your money should not sit in a bank. Invest now, and your future self will be impressed with a wow!

If you think Pharaoh was the real enemy at the Red Sea, you’re reading the story too quickly.
Most of us look at the Red Sea story like it’s a victory lap; God opens the water, Pharaoh’s army gets wiped out, and Israel walks away free. We treat it like the "happily ever after" moment of the Bible.
But if you actually look at the Scripture, something far worse hunted the Israelites than Pharoh’s pursuit.
In Exodus 14, as soon as they see the dust from the Egyptian chariots, they start losing it. They weren’t just panicking; they literally ask Moses, "Was it because there weren't enough graves in Egypt that you brought us here to die?" They actually told him it would have been "better" to stay as slaves.
Keep in mind, these people just saw ten plagues. They saw the Nile turn to blood. They watched the land go dark. But the second things got tight, fear deleted their memory of the miracles.
And we do the exact same thing.
How fast do you start romanticizing your past when your current situation gets uncomfortable? How quickly do you start missing the things God actually rescued you from, just because the future feels a bit blurry?
Even the miracle itself wasn't instant. Exodus 14 says God drove the sea back with a strong wind "all night." It was a slow, step-by-step walk. It wasn't a magic trick; it was a process.
But look at what happens just one chapter later in Exodus 16. They start complaining about food. They start talking about how they "sat by the meat pots" and had plenty of bread in Egypt.
That’s a lie. They were in forced labor. They weren't enjoying a buffet; they were being worked to death. But anxiety is a hell of an editor. It makes you remember the "comforts" of your old life while completely cropping out the chains that kept you there.
Then you get to Exodus 32. Moses is up on the mountain for forty days. No updates, or any signal he’s coming down soon. So the people go to Aaron and say, "Make us gods who will go before us."
They didn't stop believing in God you know, They just couldn't handle not seeing Him. Egypt had trained them to only trust what they could touch. So when God didn't move on their timeline, they went back to what felt familiar.
That’s the real issue here. They were out of Egypt, but Egypt was still in their heads. They were physically free, but they were still using a slave’s toolkit to handle fear and delay.
So, when things stall in your life, what do you start building? When you don't get the answer you wanted, what "golden calf" do you reach for? Is it a drink? Is it an old relationship? Is it just a desperate need to control everything around you?
The real threat wasn't the Egyptian army behind them. It was the urge to run back to what was predictable.
The beauty of this story isn't just the parting of the sea. It’s that God didn't walk away when they started acting out. He kept sending the manna and kept showing up for them. He didn't just pull them out of a country; He stayed with them while He pulled the "slave-thinking" out of their hearts.
Leaving your past is a one-time event. But learning how to be free? That takes time.
Be honest with yourself; What part of your "Egypt" are you still defending? Are you rewriting your history because you’re scared of the unknown? If God took away every problem you have right now, would you still be a slave on the inside?

When things are doing fine, never abandon the source.
For a river that forgets its source will run dry eventually.
When things go wrong, then you must return to the source.
Jesus is the source of life's destiny; never leave him
If you barely can't stay a few seconds without your phone, then you might have issues with concentration.
While eating; phone at one hand, even while using the toilet you are still operating your phone.
Every December, madness dey increase.
People wey never chop well since January go suddenly borrow money to “show face.”
New clothes, loud parties, fake enjoyment all to impress people wey no go remember you in January.
Make I talk am plain:
No be everybody wey dey smile for Christmas dey okay.
Some people dey laugh with loan.
Some dey pop champagne with debt.
Some go enter January already tired.
Why?
Because we confuse enjoyment with validation.
We think say if we no show, we no belong.
But belonging no be competition.
December no be exam.
Nobody go mark you.
Nobody go ask how many outfits you wear or how many bottles you pop.
If you survive the year with your peace intact, you don win already.
January go come sharp sharp, and bills no dey celebrate.
Celebrate within your means.
Rest if you must.
Disappear if necessary.
People wey truly care about you no dey price you with money.
