Be grateful to God for your blessings and little privileges.
Remember when I lost someone dear to me, I was at work in a deeply remote location, came out and took the next available flight to Lagos, my elder sister also came back with me after the funeral, such a relief.
It breaks my heart to see people in the diaspora not being able to appropriately grieve their loved ones when they die.
Are they people who genuinely feel bad for not being in places like Monaco after seeing those pictures and videos? Like, you have 5 million Naira in your savings, and you are feeling bad about not being in Monaco?
Even if you are an HNI, why would you feel bad for not being in such a gathering? Is that how low your sense of self-worth is?
You can tell Theo Abu Agada drafted that NDC statement. Direct, unapologetic, and straight to the point.
No ambiguity. No fence-sitting. Just saying it exactly as it is.
Top lad, Theo.
I’m not the only one who witnessed that massive giveaway Bandits hosted on TikTok. The desperation from Nigerians especially the girls, was honestly shocking.
Account numbers (mostly OPay and MoniePoint) were flying across the screen non-stop during his live stream between 12:00 AM and 1:00 AM two nights ago.
The Fulani host ended up dishing out over ₦50 million, and the way people were shamelessly begging their so-called oppressors for money left me speechless.
Thousands were tuned in, glued to the live.
How did we, as a country, sink to this level? It’s genuinely heartbreaking.💔
I just completed a crash course in my field, the least educated there has a masters degree, most of the participants have a doctorate degree and two professors in the group…
I kept asking myself, “Dapo, kilo sonu l’owo e to’n wakiri” 🥱🤷🏽♂️
Very intense and my head needs to cool for at least 3 days before opening PC again.
😰
After trying out different restaurants in Joburg and Capetown, rumor has it that I have added weight, and owo ti ku waso 🥱🥱
Let me be going back home and eat my favourite Eba and seafood Okro.
I disagree on the money part, most of the things these people do cost a lot for an average Lagbaja and Tamedun.
Take for instance, Florence goes for a Grand Prix weekend in Monaco, ticket alone costs about 10k Pounds there about, she has an apartment there, you cant meet each other in the hotel lobby.
How can someone who is packing shift left, right and center think of going for these rich activities without any disposable income?
It’s all about the money ooo.
If your source of income has nothing to do with Lagos, you shouldn’t be living there.
Thats why Jos is one of the locations I am considering for retirement, Lagos isn’t worth the hype.
I’ve been in Jos for like 5 days now and I have a lot to say.
Firstly, I never knew a people could be this nice and kind and respectful.
I almost felt sick because I never knew people could still be like that.
Lagos has fried my brain. People call you Sir while offering every service to you.
From the suya guy to the super market attendant to the local restaurant to every single person.
I’ve never seen this before in my life. In Lagos, the way I know the food in a restaurant would be good is if the woman is rude.
I never trust the food of a polite food seller in Lagos.
But I’m here where everyone treats you with respect.
Then things are cheaper. The uber that will normally cost 10 million naira here in Lagos is 2,500 here.
I’ve never seen life lived like this before. I see clear road everywhere.
I’m not scared of holding my phone carelessly.
Hotel is cheap with free WiFi. Omo. Jos na place.
I was in church once and the boy next to me, about 9 or 10, was just absolutely out of control. Single mom couldn't control him.
The boy was loud, interrupting the service, insulting to his mother, and absolutely refused to obey her gentle pleading.
He kept rolling around on the floor and knocking into me. I didn't say anything, but I was growing increasingly annoyed. We were in the back and this kid was damn near throwing a tantrum, just refusing to sit in his chair and instead laying underneath his seat, clinging to its legs while kicking.
Eventually, a father carrying his infant daughter was trying to walk through the aisle and the boy wouldn't move.
At that point, I had had enough. I yanked the chair off of the boy, set it down to the side, stared straight into his eyes, and gave him a direct order: "Stand up right now, get out of the aisle, and listen to your mother."
Kid was stunned. You could tell no one had ever spoken to him with that kind of directness and authority. He immediately obeyed without making a peep. Kept quiet for the rest of the service, too.
This is why discipline is important. The son had zero fear or respect of his mother. That's why he was acting like a brat in public to the detriment of everyone around him.
A few good spankings from a father would have put paid to that nonsense and brought happiness of the boy, his mother, and society at large.
Gentle parenting only works if there is a strong foundation of authority and respect from child to parent.
I 100% endorse this.
The way a lady will invite herself if she really likes the guy, you will think she kept something in his house that she wants to pick up.
“I can’t cook” is for a guy a lady doesn’t like.
The curiosity of Ezemuo has made me know things… Like, serious things, “A Bible of Loud”
Kristi Oko Ojo, who would have thought that these people would use such a word to describe their “merchandise”
🤔🤔
