“If I had to start afresh with ₦0.00, I’ll open a car wash; wash 40 cars daily with quality omo, that’s 40k daily, ₦1.2M monthly. Then hire boys, pay them 50% per wash, that’s ₦6M a month, then open branches, and start selling trucks of tomato and onions.”

@ThaBoyYom "I'll probably make them again"...
He's not remorseful at all.
He's just saying "hey, I just wanted to let you know that ruined your lives, what will you do? I'll probably ruin more in the coming days"
A Must-Read for Both Men & Women!!!
What I want to say has been said over and time again. Yet, many of you have turned deaf ears on this matter!!!
Sadly, being Nigerian is one of the most difficult things in the world!!! Even war-torn countries have it much better than we do as a people.
You’re living in a country and an economy that’s designed to make you suffer and that’s why ordinary people will continue struggling.
And while you can’t choose the country you’re born into, you can’t choose your parents, cankerworms in power have made it such that you can do almost nothing to change the political and economic climate you’ve found yourself in, it’s expedient that you do not lose out on the only thing you can forge yourself - love and “community”.
Again, love should not be another luxury. It should be the one thing that helps people survive difficult times. So it’s strange when people tell hardworking adults to keep postponing love until they “make it”.
The reality is that many would still end up in low-paying hustles (teaching, local farming, small scale retail etc), even those earning moderately aren’t spared from the economic inconsistencies of this country, so for how long are you supposed to stay loveless?! Or in the guise of doubling one’s hustle, what more do you expect a dedicated teacher to do than organize tutorials and teach?! Is the economy not going to sap out most of the money he makes from all his hustle as a teacher?!
A farmer can farm more land, a trader can open shop earlier and close later. But none of that changes the fact that a bad economy will eat away all their income.
You can’t out-hustle a terrible economy so why are you subjecting yourselves to unrealistic love standards?!
Women, many of you have convinced yourselves that love must come with a certain lifestyle because that’s what social media sells. You want a man who already has everything, while refusing to see your own income as part of building a family. But ask yourself one question, where are these Odogwu men? Most of them are way older, already married, or are chasing women who expect less. Where does that lead you!??
Men, many of you are making the same mistake. You keep telling yourselves that you don’t deserve love until you’re rich. Some of you even leave women who are willing to build a life with you because you believe you must become a millionaire first. What you forget that is that most self-made millionaires become wealthy in their 40s or even later. Does that mean you should spend your youth alone, waiting for a future that isn’t guaranteed?!?!

Many of your parents came from humble backgrounds. They built families with very little. Yes, it was harder but they made it work and your life is proof of that.
Today, many of you are educated and earning something, even if it isn’t much. That education should make you wiser, not more unrealistic. It should help you avoid wasting money on extravagant weddings just to impress some aunty or uncle from the village and people who won’t pay your bills. It should help you plan your family wisely, delay having children until you’re ready, and build together instead of trying to impress strangers.
Stop treating love as a reward for becoming rich!!!
If you’re responsible, hardworking, emotionally mature, and both of you genuinely desire one another and are willing to grow together, don’t let unrealistic expectations and “what will people say” rob you of love, something that money alone cannot buy.
Plan your life based on reality not social media fantasies!!!
Change or die!!!!!!
At Sam Mbakwe airport Owerri, a billboard has been put up for our star boy, Egejurum Onyedikachi, to celebrate him as he arrived in Owerri today.
He is 11 years old and the world’s best in the Primary category for Mathematics.
He is so good that he finished the exam and fell asleep.
What a star!
The U.S. FDA has recalled Ola Ola Pounded Yam for failing to disclose that it contains milk, but labeled as Sodium Caseinate. For this reason, it has been removed from online marketplaces. If you are allergic to diary, then you shouldn’t eat it.
I have never had issues with the product. In fact, we prefer it to eba. But it’s good to know that the FDA is holding them accountable to declare every ingredient.
At the fast pace with which the world is moving in big 2026
Your govt. want to ‘empower’ you with ‘Akara & Kuli Kuli’
But you think your problem is ‘spiritual’ and you’re praying against ‘the spirit of poverty’
Forces of which ‘darkness’ ?
When we don’t even have light
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Tony Elumelu had never set camera to buy corn before until Remi Told Nigerian women to go and sell corn.
Elumelu's daughters should go and sell corn so that I too will set camera and buy from them.
Let his family lead by example
