I was in an oil firm for 8 years, chevron to be precise between 2010 and 2019
Nigeria happened to us and 18 of us were laid off for no reason
I built 2 houses for my family
After I lost my job I went back to the house I built for family
Fast forward to few years ago I left Christianity and chose islam
My family pushed me out of my own house simply because I built it for family
They denied me access to my 2 houses
I left heartbroken
started all over and I now i am a remote worker for both UK and US companies
Life can always start all over even at 50 bro
Don't give up
@LEGACE_FX I was a F1 engineer by trade, been trading 13 years. Started full time 2 years ago, and the thought of failing and having to get a job again makes me want to stick my head in the gas oven. Keep trading bro you’ll get there
Gas finished last night and the kids were craving shawarma, I was too. Hubby said to go out to get it for all of us with drinks for dinner, I punched my calculator to see how much it will cost for a family of 5.
I arrived at over 35k. 12kg gas now cost 24k, we would use it 4weeks at least. I chose gas over shawarma.
That is for a family where both partners work and earn decently. We couldn't even afford a basic treat without punching the calculator. Everything extra is now considered luxury
Now imagine the life of a child whose both parents are skilless, unemployed or earns meagerly.
I know many of you will come and ask if shawarma is food, no it's not but everyone deserves a treat once in a while.
We all know what we are doing but you people should fear Allah.
There is this Muslim family living beside me and we barely even talk or greet each other.
This morning, maybe because of the holiday vibe, I greeted her more warmly than usual.
A few hours later, someone knocked on my door with a plate full of ram meat from their house 😭😂
Now I’m overthinking it like… “hope she didn’t think my greeting meant i needed sallah ram?”
I’m even considering giving the meat away before they think i was using greetings to beg for sallah meat.😩
A LIVING HERO ✈️🇳🇬
Meet Squadron Leader A Dairo a true Nigerian hero whose bravery deserves to be celebrated while he is still alive.
On 17 July 2021, Squadron Leader A. Dairo’s Alpha Jet was shot down by bandits in Zamfara shortly after a successful combat mission. After ejecting safely, he landed deep in hostile territory and immediately came under heavy gunfire. Using courage, survival instincts, and his special forces training, he navigated through thick bushes and escaped before finally reaching safety at an emir’s palace.
A member of the 60th Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy, Squadron Leader A. Dairo is a fighter and instructor pilot trained in counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency operations. He has flown several aircraft including the Alpha Jet, L-39 Albatros, and Super Mushshak, and was later awarded the Ground Service Medal for his heroic actions.
We must stop waiting until our heroes are gone before we celebrate them. Men like Squadron Leader A Dairo are still serving, still sacrificing, and still risking their lives daily for Nigeria. 🇳🇬
Thank You For your Service Sir 🫡

Ìbàdàn, the ancient city that's still standing and very relevant. It has many brown roofs because many of its past inhabitants started using roofing sheets while some people were still using straw and bamboo.
Still, the city hosts many modern structures. That's why it revels in both past and present glories!
Ìbàdàn, the blessed city that sits on the hills, I love you so much!
@anas_mundi@amnarhh@don_kazzy I have been going through the comments, I'm just as furious as you. I wonder if he actually needs the intervention he seeks..

Imagine when you can sit down, open your laptop, make a few thousand from trading, and go on about your day.
Go to the gym.
Hang out with your friends and family, read more books, do whatever you want to.
It’s coming.
Every time you fail, you’re one step closer.
Lock in.

If you choose to RETWEET this, it will be a Sadqatul-Jaariya for you and me

If you have ulcer, toothache or diabetes, include cloves in your diet. If you don't have any of these conditions, still consider including cloves. Repost and read on
Before going to the benefits, I found it amazing that clove is called kànáfùrù in Yorùbá, Kananfari in Hausa and Kanafura in Dangbali (Ghana). How did we all agree with to call it similar names? Anyways, let's move on.
One of the best ways to use cloves is to grind it and add to your spices. They'll actually add special taste to your meals. You can also sprinkle the powder in tea or pap. You can cook the whole cloves and drink its tea. You can also just swallow the powder with water. Let's now look at the health benefits
1. ULCER
Some days ago, I wrote about how our stomach produce acid for digestion and how mucus layer protects that stomach lining from ulcer. Now, most ulcer are cause by thinning of this mucus layer. Some studies have shown that eating cloves in large amounts can thicken this mucus, which will in turn lower your your risk of getting ulcers help in healing ulcer if you already have.
2. DIABETES
If you're diabetic, eugenol in cloves can help lower your blood glucose to safe levels. In the same vein, you should be careful of taking too much so that the blood sugar will not be reduced too much. Hypoglycemia, which is when blood sugar is tii low, is as dangerous. So, you want to be moderate.
3. TOOTH ACHE
I learnt this while staying in the North before reading about its medical proof. If you have tooth ache, crush cloves and grind it to paste. Apply to the tooth. You should feel relieved in minutes. Eugenol in clove is a natural anesthetic (numbing agent) and it's the one responsible here. You may get clove oil for faster results.
They're also rich in antioxidants and so, they'll help mop up free radicals and and help prevent/reduce inflammation. Some studies also claim that they can help liver function when consumed moderately.
Finally, these are just some of the few health benefits of cloves and they're cheap compared to many drugs. APPLY MODERATION in its use and share this for others who may need it.

Politically - They are the most significant group.
Financially - They are the financial hub of West Africa
Economically- They have the most developed sub national economy in Nigeria.
Entertainment - Yoruba language sells the most globally out of Nigeria.
Culturally - they have the most celebrated culture and dressing out of Nigeria.
Yorubas are envied not because of who they are but because of what they represent - Excellence without breaking a sweat
Nigerian police officers have been warned not to search any individual’s phone. Anybody can record any police officer at his duty post. As long as the officer is doing the right thing, there is nothing to fear about being recorded.
