@nabrga@histories_arch I can just imagine the level of frustration of the one who didn't achieve their goal. Well, they should have known. Sadly, this keeps repeating.
When I was in university, my roommate used to wake up every morning at 5am and leave the hostel dressed like she was going to class.
We all thought she had a rich uncle sponsoring her because she always had food, clean clothes, and never borrowed money.
One day I followed her out of curiosity.
Turns out she was working at a bakery before lectures started every morning. She hid it because she didn’t want people mocking her.
Fast forward to graduation day, while most of us were searching for jobs, she already had enough savings to open a small food spot.
Today she owns three restaurants.
That experience taught me something:
Never laugh at humble beginnings. Some people are sacrificing in silence while building the life everyone will admire later.
I mistakenly sent 2,300 naira for a product instead of 23,000 naira this afternoon to a vendor at his shop. What’s funny is that I left the shop without the seller noticing, and I didn’t realize it myself until tonight. I had been busy editing since I got home and hadn't needed to make any transfers until I went to buy data.
I noticed I had extra cash, even though I thought I’d spent 23,000 Naira earlier. Knowing that money doesn't just appear in my account out of nowhere only when I’m being paid for a job, I checked my transactions and saw the 2,300 Naira. I realized then that I hadn't fully paid for the product.
I rushed back to the shop immediately not long ago to see if the person was still there. I found him and explained what happened. He had already noticed the error, and I could see the joy on his face seeing me return.. he was so happy he even offered to buy me a drink. Imagine if I were the type to just see it as “Luck”… the seller would have lost that money.
I’m so happy I returned to complete my payment.
Stay out of trouble.
Hear me out, brothers
1. Stay away from road rage. Ignore that idiot driver on the road.
2. Pay attention to your instinct; when it feels like “don't go” please don't go.
3. Let your kids share a bedroom. Don't let them sleep individually. Males have their bedroom likewise for the females.
4. Play PlayStation with your kids.
Social media is a remarkable tool—powerful and transformative when used thoughtfully. Yet, as with most things, balance is essential.
Over the years, I’ve learned to approach online personas with a healthy dose of skepticism.
social media steps in beautifully. It bridges gaps, maintains relationships, and keeps us connected in ways that were once unimaginable.
The key, always, is balance.
Use social media intentionally, but never let it replace the richness of real-world presence.
In person, you can sense authenticity in subtle ways: tone of voice, eye contact, unscripted moments. That’s where trust is truly built.
Of course, when physical connection isn’t possible—due to distance, time, or circumstance—
—rather than expressing their true selves.
I’ve come to value those who show up for me offline far more than those who shine only in the digital space. Real-life interactions carry a depth and sincerity that screens often filter out.
Anyone can curate an identity, projecting whatever image they desire. In this environment, genuine authenticity becomes increasingly rare. Many people perform in ways shaped by external pressures—public expectations, peer influence, or the unspoken rules of the platform
You can be 100% busy yet only 5% effective—or 30% busy and 85% effective. True productivity isn’t about how much energy you expend; it’s about channeling the right amount of energy to the right places at the right time.
@Angudrir@Tee_Tayme@almuhiib110499 This verse is not a general teaching of Jesus about how Christians should treat non-believers. It comes at the very end of a specific parable Jesus told, called the Parable of the Ten Minas (or Parable of the Pounds in some translations), found in Luke 19:11–27.
