As a man, never neglect your mental health. Get that haircut. Hit the gym. Hang with the boys. Take yourself. Watch that game. Play that video game. Take that road trip. Spend time in nature. Get some sleep. Don’t get so lost in the grind that you forget to live.
“Some years ago, my family pressured me to build my own house, saying that a man at my level should have moved beyond renting an apartment. But I refused. Instead, I rented an apartment in the most expensive estate in the state. I chose to invest the hundreds of millions I could have spent building a big mansion into a business that would generate more value. Some people use their own hands to bury capital by building houses—money they could have used to start or expand a business. Put your money where it multiplies, not where it sleeps.”

Many homes across Africa may never experience a large family time like this again.
Because siblings have escaped to countries all over the world.
But you'll always get to see things like this in western countries.
Because they don't run away from their countries.
End.
Privilege is such an interesting thing I often find myself thinking about. We do not ask for the life we have, and that is why I'm very mindful of it. You often find it a lot in my writing.
Last week, my cleaner told me on Monday(2 days ago) was her birthday. I asked her what age we are celebrating and she said 33. Epiphany hit me that my agemate is my cleaner. I wore a wry smile as I nodded my head and told her to remind me on Monday so she could get her gift.
I then went to my room to deal with the epiphany of privilege. In another universe, that could easily have been me.
You don't have to wait until you're a classroom teacher before you teach and inspire kids. Every opportunity to guide a child is a chance to make a difference.
My little contribution to humanity. 😅❤️

You see this Chinese car, 34m Naira less than 100 mileage, and you tell me I should buy 2023 Rx 350 with 50k miles because I want to please the society.
As we get older, we have a social obligation to help guide and nuture the lives of younger ppl in any way possible. Idc what ppl say. You don't have to be a mentor, but you should always be mindful your status as an elder in the lives of children.
Flirting with life is a skill. the guy who whistles walking down the street, compliments the cashier, makes the whole room laugh, treats every stranger like someone worth knowing — that guy never struggles. warmth is the most underrated form of power there is.
Watching my father use scissors to unbox all the gifts I sent him got me cracked up 😂.
Man is so detailed, like he’s carrying out an official inspection.

Happy Father’s Day. The armor is heavier than we imagined, yet we still rise and carry it with pride, honoring the shoulders that carried it before us.
