For 8 straight months, everyone in my compound believed our landlord's 24 year old daughter, Simi, was a high class runs girl 👀

Every single night at exactly 9:45 PM, she'd leave the house, enter a Bolt, and never return until around 6 AM.

What we discovered last week left all of us in tears 😭 😭

Our landlord, Baba Segun, a retired civil servant, was one of the kindest men I've ever met. Despite inflation, he hadn't increased our rent in four years.

He’d always say, "Country hard, make we no suffocate each other." We all loved and respected him.

But his daughter, Simi, was the compound topic.

During the day, she was always sleeping, looking exhausted and withdrawn.

But by night? She would dress up, spray nice perfume, and a ride would come pick her up. By morning, she’d return, looking completely drained.

You know how compound life is in Nigeria. The gossip started by the water pumping machine.

"Look at her eyes, she no dey sleep," Iya Favour would whisper.

"Baba is forming strict, but his daughter is doing night hustle," another neighbor would add.

Slowly, we all began to judge her. We even started giving her attitude when she came out to the compound.

She’d just smile weakly, say "Good morning ma," and quickly go back inside.

Fast forward to last Thursday. One of our neighbors, Bro Chuks, who drives Bolt at night to make extra cash, got a ride request from an industrial estate in Ikeja. It was a massive 24/7 plastics manufacturing factory.

When he parked, he watched the factory workers coming out from their night shift. They were covered in dust, wearing heavy boots, and looking physically broken. And right there, dragging her tired feet towards his car, was Simi.

Bro Chuks was shocked. Simi? What are you doing here?

She froze.

When she realized it was him, she broke down in tears right there in the parking lot and begged him not to tell anyone, especially her dad.

Simi confessed that her dad’s glaucoma had gotten terribly worse. He needed urgent eye surgery that cost ₦2.5 million.

His government pension hadn't been paid in over two years.

Extended family had advised him to double our rent to raise the money, but Baba Segun bluntly refused, saying it was wicked to punish his tenants for his health problems.

To save her father from going entirely blind without forcing him to compromise his values, Simi quietly took a grueling night shift job at the factory.

The makeup and perfume she wore when leaving the compound? It was just a cover up so her nearly blind father wouldn't suspect she was going out to do hard labor.

When Bro Chuks shared this on our compound WhatsApp group the next morning, the silence was deafening.

Iya Favour, who started most of the gossip, actually came out to the corridor, sat on the floor, and started crying.

We were all enjoying cheap rent, saved by the kindness of a man whose daughter was secretly breaking her back in a factory just to keep him healthy.

And how did we repay her? With wicked gossip and judgment.

That weekend, all the tenants called a meeting. We voluntarily agreed to a 30% rent increase and raised ₦800k on the spot to support Baba Segun's surgery.

Baba cried. Simi cried. We cried.

It taught me a brutal, unforgettable lesson: Never judge someone when you don’t know the battles they are fighting in secret.

The person you’re pointing fingers at might just be carrying a burden you couldn't even lift.

Has there ever been a time you completely misjudged someone, only to discover you were completely wrong?

I'd genuinely love to hear your story. Share it in the replies. Someone else might learn from it too.

Yoruba's say "if we compare children to each other, we'll be-at one to dea-th".

My first child walked a few days to her first birthday, my second child walked at 1 year and 2 Months.

Now my third holds the sofa, stands and then removes his hand, even though he'll fall back and hit his bum on the hard floor, he'll get up and do it again, he'll be 7 months in two days, at this rate he might walk when he's 10 months old.

Why am I saying this.

From your children's pregnancy, infant and toddler stage up until their teenage years, you have to admit that they're not the same.

In the same breath, also admit that their characters will not be the same, don't love any child less cause of it, at most, what it means is that you might have to pay even more attention to the ones who're lacking both in character and knowledge.

May God give us the Grace to do better. ❤️

He who has an ear should listen o...wisdom

[Àgbà John Doe @jon_d_doe]

It's not just because I did it.

But if you university boys and girls will take my advice, you most likely will not regret it.

Your future husband and wife is right there in the same university that you're attending.

Start dating each other, focus on your studies, suffer together and grow together.

Shun greed and deceits.

For the girls, forget all those older men and what they are offering you.

Your university boyfriend is passing through the phase that they also passed through.

Just make sure he's a serious person when it comes to his academics, and make sure he's older than you are.

He's probably going to be the only serious man that you may date and possibly your first too.

Every older working-class man or woman that you look up today, were once like you.

The big cars they drive, the money they have, the fancy apartments that they live in, all are achievable by you and your boyfriend.

And this thing doesn't take much time.

I bought my first car and rented my own apartment about 2 years post NYSC.

And married my university love thereafter.

We planned it.

We worked towards it.

We were intentional.

We were patient.

And God made it possible.

Please listen to me. If you seal your relationship right from the university, you'll have a lot of time in your hands to focus on your goals, and eliminate all emotional baggage that many people who were not patient are passing through now.

Just have at the back of your minds that, your situation will never be same forever.

Learn the ropes.

Avoid friends who would discourage you, and carry your families along all the way.

So that by the time both of you are set to marry, it would just be a formality.

End.

I moved out of my father's house before I turned 26 after NYSC.

About 1 year after that, I took my first car to him to bless me.

Few months after that, I invited him to come bless my new apartment.

Few months after that, I told him that I was ready to marry my lovely wife.

I married my wife 3 years after I moved out of my parents' home.

The only time that my father gave me money after university, was when he sold one of his landed properties.

He said that it was my share from the proceeds.

I never called him to beg or ask for his financial assistance.

Rather, I was calling for blessings, advice & honor.

I don't know how to steal or deceive people to make financial gains off them.

My parents never taught me that, and never endorsed such.

I mean...

My father was so open financially.

We the children knew his source of livelihood.

So I could not afford to tow a different path.

Even in death, my late father is still better than me in all ramifications.

And he wasn't a university graduate.

His name still open doors for us his children.

And right from his grave, he still sends me money, 10 years after his death.

If I come here to say that I frown deeply at illegitimate earnings, I was brought up that way.

I don't know how to do it, because I know that it's not right.

If your father or mother frowns at illegitimate ways of living, the least you can do, is to uphold their beliefs and live right by them.

You don't have to be rich.

But you'll have peace.

[Àgbà John Doe @jon_d_doe]

The right time to move out of your parents' home, is when you begin to realise that both of them know what they're doing.

As a grown adult, you're making your parents uncomfortable in their home, if they see you everyday.

Leave them alone, & go build your life legitimately.

They'll appreciate you better.

Especially if you're a man.

Women have a longer grace period in their parents' home, than men.

At 26 max, your parents should not be feeding or clothing you.

If your parents are still feeding and clothing you at that age, you'd make them lose hope in you.

It doesn't matter if your parents are wealthy or rich.

You have become a liability to them.

Do not be surprised or feel envious, if they begin to show more regards to that child that is trying to make a legitimate living for himself or herself, than they're showing to you.

That's how life works.

Make good use of the opportunity that your parents are providing for you, as much as they can.

If they're no longer capable of providing, you're now an adult.

Go and struggle and make a name or living for yourself.

The maximum financial responsibility that your parents are obligated to provide for you, is your university education.

But it's not always the case.

Some parents could or may not be able to afford to send you to the university.

But as long as you're an adult, you must take your destiny into your hands, and depend on their blessings.

Some of your parents had no university education.

They've done the best that they could.

If you keep wallowing in pains, anger, and regrets of being born by them, you'll not go anywhere.

And you'd only earn your respect, if you do better than them, or you're making them proud even if you're not better than them.

End.

If you're financially comfortable before you marry a wife, you're most likely going to marry the wrong wife.

Unless the wife that you marry, knew you from day nothing.

[English Learning Everyday @EnglishIearning]

Did you know?

[Àgbà John Doe @jon_d_doe]

Let me say this though.

I know some men do it as a "scope to chop".

But for the most part, if after being in a relationship for at least 6 months:

1) you have not met or spoken to any of his siblings.

2) he hasn't made attempts to invite you to their family event.

3) he doesn't show any seriousness to want to meet with your siblings, or understand your family dynamics or relationships.

He's either being skeptical about you, or his intentions towards you, are not sincere.

Start considering taking a walk, or having a serious & honest conversation with him.

Because the longer you stay, the more your time is being wasted.

Especially if he's a grown up man, that is physically and financially ready to marry a wife.

End.

Warm Christmas wishes from the Authority. May this festive season bring peace, goodwill, and unity.

[Àgbà John Doe @jon_d_doe]

Go and ask any married man that is in his 50s and his children are still in primary school, what his biggest regret is.

He will tell you that he wished that he married early.

[Àgbà John Doe @jon_d_doe]

If you have keenly studied me, I talk about sex alot.

I need people to understand that sex is not just sex.

Sex between a couple, requires compatibility.

A lot of married people hardly sleep with each other in weeks or months.

And you need good sex for marriage to thrive.

It doesn't matter the age of the couple. As long as they're still strong & healthy.

That you're having sex with each other today in your relationship regularly, doesn't guarantee that it would be like that in marriage.

Sexual compatibility requires that despite the age, the number of times it has been done, I still find this person sexually appealing.

I am fucking this person because I love doing it, and not because I am doing it out of marriage duty or obligation.

Even if this woman breasts don fall like slippers, I go still fuck her toto.

Even if this man belle don shrink, and e don get plenty wrinkles, I go still dey suck him preeq and knack am wotowoto.

This is what sexual compatibility means.

You don't get tired of each other.

The changes in your wife, due to giving birth, doesn't make her less sexy & attractive.

Even if you may be cheating as a man.

You still go back to your wife, and still fire!

So, I don't just discuss sex for cruise.

I do it for the purpose of learning, and perhaps, in humorous ways.

But I am almost always passing a message.

Some of you miss it, because you love to play too much.

Una just dey think say I dey smoke igbo, so I can never be serious.

Okay ooo.

My dad was advising a man that was complaining about his wife not giving birth to a boy because the man said how will his name "survive"

And my dad said something that made me go crazy with my goals

he said,
If you want your name to live and not die, make a name for yourself. your kids cannot keep your name alive.

If you want your name to survive, give your name life by doing things that people will talk about when you die.

he asked the guy "who remembers the kids of Abraham Lincoln or the kids of Thomas Edison or even Nnamdi Azikiwe?"

"Who even cares about the kids of anyone great in history?" we don't.

So if you want your name to not die, make a name for yourself by being a great person or else, your name will die when you die and there is nothing you can do about it.

Every lineage comes to an end.
But the great names in every dead lineage do not die. They outlive generations.
