@TheY0ungLad You don’t know the content of the will, they do. The children are the ones fighting among themselves. The deceased knew his kids were estranged while writing the will.
Please go look for an apartment quickly. But aren’t you entitled to sometime to find a new place?
What never works is to deny yourself and betray your own core values because of the fear of hurting the feelings of another, scared of being abandoned or ostracised and so you sell your soul to belong.
Nobody succeeds without first aligning themselves with their true values. Your soul is not available to be manipulated by those who have no respect for your personal boundaries.
Be kind and hospitable but place a high value on yourself. Your sense of self worth is key. Build a wall around your soul but let it have a gate. A point of decision as to what goes out and what comes in.
Cultivate that walled garden within. Make it productive and beautiful it will attract those who are perfectly aligned with you.
@Mochievous This is the thing with Nigerians and under paying staff. Very exploitative.
I see job ads looking for a person to clean, cook and run errands for 40-60k
Top restaurants paying their chefs 100k and acting like it’s the ultimate.
Never get married because people are telling you that it is time to get married. Get married when you agree with the person you want to marry that it is time to marry each other. If you meet someone working on a timetable, run far away from them. You are only a means to an end.
@HaYoMiDe_ She didn’t make him admit he was hungry.
She just pushed the food.
Some people solve a need without making the other person pay the price of admitting it.
Today, we celebrated the incredible Maryann Duke-Okon @mimieyo for her dedication, brilliance, and the energy she brings to every conversation on Hard Facts. From asking the tough questions to keeping listeners informed every single day, she continues to make her mark on Nigerian broadcasting.
Wishing her all the best on her next chapter. 🎊🎉

Two types of clarity are needed in these times. Clarity on where you are headed, the goal and then on who is to be on the ship with you heading there. No time for emotions or undue attachments to the past. Thats the baggage that will slow you down.
I’ll be hosting an X Space on this conversation at 7PM Nigerian time, and I’d especially love to hear from female candidates, women actively involved in the political process, and advocates passionate about increasing women’s participation in leadership.
If you’d like to speak or know someone whose voice should be part of this conversation, please reach out. This conversation is important, necessary, and long overdue.
HR: We lost another senior employee today.
CEO: What happened?
HR: He resigned after receiving an external offer.
CEO: That makes no sense. We could have matched it.
HR: That is the issue. We were willing to pay a stranger 70% more for the same role, but would not give our existing employee even a 20% raise.
CEO: External hiring is different. That is market pricing.
HR: He noticed that too.
CEO: We appreciated his loyalty. He had been here for years.
HR: Yes. And during those years, he consistently exceeded expectations while being told to “wait for the next review cycle.”
CEO: But budgets are complicated for internal employees.
HR: Apparently not for external candidates. The new hire budget was approved in three days. His raise request sat for eight months.
CEO: We had to stay competitive in the hiring market.
HR: He was part of that same market. The only difference is that another company valued him before we did.
CEO: So he left over salary?
HR: Not just salary. He left because he realized loyalty was being rewarded less than leaving.
CEO: That is unfortunate.
HR: Yes. Companies will sometimes trust a candidate after a 45-minute interview more than an employee who already proved themselves for five years.
CEO: So what are you saying?
HR: If companies only recognize employee value after a resignation letter appears, then eventually employees will stop waiting to be appreciated internally.
Sometimes the fastest way for an employee to get market value is to stop being your employee.
Someone was asked why he had longevity in his industry while many other of his equally talented contemporaries had faded away.
His reply was "it is by God's grace and not because of anything I did right in myself."
This is how a religious mindset denies us the opportunity to learn.
Truth is, his longevity came as a result of certain wise choices he made.
What then he should have said was "Yes, I remain relevant till date because I made the right moves some of which I will share however it was God's grace that taught me these things without which I won't have known them and be still standing today"
By saying "it wasn't by any right thing I did but by God's grace" he made it appear it all happened because he was lucky implying others were not.
This puts his success in an inaccessible realm allowing for superstitious practices. God's grace teaches and gives us the right tools.
His success cannot now be trans-generational because he has "nothing" to teach others. If he had framed it right he would still have attributed it to God as the source of it all but then listed out things he was taught by Grace in the last 40years.

If you are feeling down and things don't seem to be working, do this.
Get into a room alone, shut the door and begin to declare God's promises out loud speaking forth his blessings and strength into your life.
Do it until your mood changes and then you would have broken the back of a spirit which was trying to put you in bondage.
Repeat this every time a depressing feeling comes on you and sooner than you think it will be a thing of the past and a new season will be born in your life.
