whatever you are,be a good one.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

The family you don't spend money to look after, you'll still spend money to bury.

Some of you want to gather and gather, invest and invest, become multi-millionaires and billionaires before you start helping. The truth is, if you don't help when you have enough, you wont help when you're rich.

The problem is , you think you have time. One thing I know is that no amount of money will fill the gap of loss. I've seen it a number of times.

We are gradually setting a dangerous narrative for the younger generation.

Back in my time, to become head boy, head girl, or any prefect, you are appointed by the school board based on your leadership skills, good standing , responsibility , grades and more.

I passed by a school today in Lagos at Oko Oba, Abuleegba the whole gate was littered with posters & banners from primary/secondary school students campaigning for posts.

Multiple posters and banners of candidates saying Vote me for Head Boy, Vote me for Head Girl, etc
How have we gotten to a level of exposing children to such dangerous political narratives.

Who knows maybe some of them that are from richer families might be sharing biscuit, pencils, birds, maths set in a bid to sway wins.

Distasteful that is being done in a primary and secondary school.

Be careful who you trust at work. Everyone is trying to survive, get paid, and protect their position. You never know who might turn against you, so stay professional, keep boundaries, and protect yourself.

[Foundational Nupe Lawyer @egi_nupe]

For many young people out there, we have been sold a dangerous idea: that only the successful and the intellectual have the right to speak, encourage, advise, or motivate the young. Because of that belief, we worship results and ignore process. We treat life as if it must always look rosy, curated, and triumphant. We polish the highlight reel and call it truth.

We do not want to hear from people who made costly mistakes. We treat their stories as contamination instead of instruction. Yet those are often the people who can tell you, with painful clarity, how not to live. They know the shortcuts that look clever until they collapse. They know the relationships that seemed worth it until they weren’t. They know the pride that felt like strength until it isolated them. A first-class graduate can tell you how the exam was passed. A person who failed, recovered, and still carries the scar can tell you what the exam actually costs when you get it wrong.

We also do not want to listen to those who struggled honestly, worked brutally hard, and still did not “make it” by the narrow scores we use to measure a life. We act as if effort only counts when it produces applause. That is a cruel and stupid standard. Some people do everything they can with the tools they have and still meet closed doors, bad timing, illness, family duty, economic shock, or plain bad luck. Their lives are not cautionary tales of laziness. They are evidence that the world is not a meritocracy machine that prints trophies for every sincere attempt. If we only listen to winners, we teach the young that struggle without a medal is shame. That is how people start hiding their real lives.

Look at students. Almost every class wants the first-class student, the prize winner, the one whose transcript looks like a brochure. Few want the graduate with a pass, a third class, or a second-class lower. We assume those results mean there is nothing useful in that person’s mind. That assumption is snobbery dressed as ambition. A lower class does not automatically mean a smaller soul, a weaker work ethic, or a poorer understanding of life. Sometimes it means a student was working two jobs. Sometimes it means grief, depression, a sick parent, a bad lecturer, a late start, or a talent that does not sit neatly inside examination halls. Sometimes it simply means the person is human in a system that pretends humans are ranking algorithms.

The obsession with perfect outcomes produces fragile young people. They learn to perform success rather than build character. They become afraid of ordinary seasons: the year that does not sparkle, the degree that is not first class, the business that dies, the relationship that ends, the dream that has to be revised. They think a life is only worth narrating after the award. So they stay silent when they most need company, and they refuse company from anyone whose story is unfinished or unglamorous.

Wisdom does not live only in first place. It lives in the person who fell and can describe the ground. It lives in the person who ran hard and still finished outside the lights. It lives in the graduate who did not top the class but learned how to keep going when the ranking said they were average. If we want younger people to survive real life, we should stop asking only the crowned to speak. Let the bruised speak too. Let the almosts speak. Let the ones who tried and were not celebrated speak. Their lessons are not lesser. They are often the ones that keep a person standing when the applause never comes.

Is it too late to retrace our steps?

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

SMH. You're just a Nigerian, and that is not a compliment.

You're not looking for love. You're looking for gifts and outing. If your partner's presence alone does not make your heart swell, love is absent.

You're simply looking for love in places and things, and experiences and whoever can give it to you, you would commit to them. That is not love. Their presence will never light up your heart, you're only excited about what they can do for you.

Again, you're just a Nigerian

[Seyi Makinde @seyimakinde]

During the North West Town Hall meeting today in Katsina, I responded to the claim made by the Minister of the FCT, HE Nyesom Wike that the president gave Oyo State N50 billion to upgrade the Samuel Ladoke Akintola Airport, Ibadan. I stated that the claim is false. The Ibadan airport upgrade is being fully funded by the Oyo State Government.

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

I'm very conscious of privileges, that is why I give realistic advice. I know it is biting you to call me poor because of my opinion, because broke shaming is your tactics for silencing reason and family values. But I'm not poor by any Nigerian metrics.

Before advising people, always remember that we are a poor country with majority living in gross poverty. You are too poor for the standard you are setting for yourself and the burden you want to carry. Many two income households are struggling. Don't overwhelm yourself on your average income when you have a working partner you can share this burden with. What happens to her and the kids if you die or develop stroke?

Please don't look at rich people on social media and try to live up to theor lifestyle. You can't carry the responsibilities they carry. Life is in stages and men are in sizes. Grow with the wife of your youth, in love, in responsibilities, in kindness, in mutual trust.

I want the best for you and I want you to stay alive. Stop tying your ego to money and how much responsibilities you can carry alone. It is not a flex. Ire á kárí oo

[Seyi Makinde @seyimakinde]

In my newsletter yesterday, I shared my thoughts on the subsidy debate. The petroleum products pricing question should not simply be whether subsidy should return or remain removed. I believe that the more important question is: what is the right pricing framework for an oil-producing country like Nigeria? Read more https://t.co/VkVGHaIgf2

Some are campaigning to become Governor.

Hon. Bimbo Adekanmbi is campaigning to continue the progress of Oyo State.

There’s a difference.

One is chasing power.

The other is protecting progress.

Happy birthday to me jorrrr🥳❤️

[Bimbo Adekanmbi @adekanmbi_bimbo]

I had the privilege of listening to a group of young people share the Oyo State of their dreams. They spoke about their hopes, concerns, and ideas for the kind of progress they want to see.

I believe that a state will continue to move forward when every generation has a seat at the table. The wisdom of our elders must be merged with the energy and innovation of our youth to shape the future of our state.
