3 of the cheat codes in this life is to be born Rich, Or Tall, or Handsome. This already gives you an unfair advantage. If you lack any of these three, then you have no choice but to be very very Intense and aggressive. Not cantankerous, No. You must become highly competent, assertive and be able and willing to dish out massive doses of consequences to whoever tries to see you less or cross you.
This is why Short men are very ambitious and domineering. The assertiveness and stubborness can easily come across as domineering.
Their physical height does not impress you, but then you discover that it's dangerous for you to cross them...because the reaction is always disproportionately massive compared with the trigger. You then learn to be wary. Anyone below 6ft tall should be carefully handled. That's one.
If you are ugly, or just there....you have no other choice than to have a personality, Charisma or something attitudinal going on for you...for some people it's extreme confidence. If people don't look at you twice because you worwor... something else must speak for you...it may be the way you talk, how you behave, your comportment etc.....yoivcannot afford to be bland or just there....
If you are not from a wealthy background, you do not have any business with a "work-life" balance. Your single aim everyday is how you can make more money without going to prison or going to hell. Every single moment. You do not have holidays, off times, etc etc...and you are better off changing jobs chasing higher pay or working for yourself and grinding at your own business.
You must also market constantly, network relentlessly, brush off rejection, and go the extra mile.
To My Lover, Foluke.
Great has been the journey of walking side by side with you. And so today, on your 78th birthday, is a gift to me, to have the world join me in doing what I have spent 58 years doing: celebrating you.
With you, the weight of the assignment has always been a lighter cross to carry. Our two have agreed, and so our walking together has been of divine stride, a race continuously illuminated, step after step, decade after decade. My path shines brighter because I walk it with you.
Many people know you as Mummy G.O. I have the privilege of knowing you simply as my wife, my friend, and the person who has stood with me through every challenge, every victory, and every assignment God has given us. I have watched you give strength to others even when you were tired yourself. I have seen your quiet sacrifices, your compassion, your wisdom, and your unwavering trust in God. Those are the things that make me thank God for you every day.
Our children have been blessed because of your love. The family of God has been blessed because of your devotion. Countless homes have been strengthened because you answered God’s call with all your heart.
Seventy-eight years of your life, fifty-eight years of them beside me, and still I find new reasons to thank God for you. You have been wife, counsel, and companion in every sense the word was ever meant to hold.
As you celebrate today, my prayer is simple. May the God whom you have served so faithfully continue to uphold you. May He surround you with His peace, fill your days with fresh joy, strengthen your body, renew your strength, and continue to satisfy you with His goodness. May the years ahead be even more fruitful than those behind, and may you continue to see the mighty hand of God at work in your life.
Thank you for walking hand in hand with me. Happy 78th birthday, my love.
Your loving husband,
Pastor E. A. Adeboye

GoPro says there is ‘substantial doubt’ it will be able to stay in business over the next year 📷
• Sales are down
• Costs are up — particularly memory chips, driven by demand from AI data centers
• Net losses have totaled over $500M in the past two years
Everyone is complaining about how to raise money. Please, if you want to raise money as a Nigerian business and you have between N100m and N1B in revenue, you're profitable, and have at least 3 years of financial records please send an email to [email protected]
We would like to speak to you.
In your email include the name of your company, the location and what it does.
We have many people in Nigeria and diaspora willing to give you money.
Don't say we never did anything for you.
(Please retweet for reach. Thank you).
Some people have never met you before, yet they still trust you. I remember when my Siberian Husky gave birth, I posted the puppies on my Nairaland page for ₦700K each, and a man living in the US sent me the money and asked me to deliver one of the puppies to his son in Nigeria, with an extra ₦50K for delivery.
Since then, whenever he needs anything in Nigeria, he uses me as his plug. Even when I tell him I have no idea about something, he still pushes me to do research for him. When he shipped some cars home for his wife, he called me to help find someone to handle the clearance process. When he wanted to relocate his family from a rental apartment in Gbagada, he reached out to me to help find a better house for sale in Ajao Estate because of its proximity to the airport, and we secured one for ₦200 million. He sent the money directly to my account while I handled the necessary paperwork on his behalf.
He hasn’t been to Nigeria in over 10 years, yet I’ve become his go-to guy for almost everything.
One genuine transaction can turn a stranger into a lifelong client and referral source.
