@maxvayshia The difference in air quality is night and day. We took the train down to Abeokuta for a team bonding trip to Olumo Rock, and the moment we arrived, it felt like my lungs finally got to decompress. We really underestimate what we breathe in daily in Lagos until
@Exedy17@Horizon1573@WisdomRevealed@Morris_Monye Blah blah blah. Says the same guy who shared some Ronaldo assists earlier to push a narrative. Chat to me when your favorite player touches 976 career goals. Until then, keep crying into the void while history stays exactly where it belongs.

Like I said, y’all should feel free to say whatever makes y’all sleep good at night
Everybody and their grandma including Messi knows that he’s not miles ahead of Ronaldo but say whatever makes y’all you want fan boy.
@Horizon1573@WisdomRevealed@Morris_Monye You get power to dy argue with rage baiter
I left the conversation immediately I read “dwelling in stupidity”
Started the argument with one name and now it’s Penelope 🤦🏽♂️
My office is in a plaza with several other businesses, and we have a security man who looks after the entire place.
This morning, he came to me and asked if he could use my bank account because someone wanted to send him money. His phone had fallen into water days ago and he hadn’t been able to repair it, so he couldn’t access his account. He explained that someone wanted to bless him because today is his 65th birthday.
I shouted in excitement, “Papa, today na your birthday?” Then I gave him my account number.
When I got into the office, I told everyone it was Papa’s 65th birthday and suggested we appreciate him because he’s always looking out for us. He washes some people’s cars, helps us drain floodwater from the plaza after heavy rain so we don’t have to step into it, and he’s friendly to everyone. He never fails to hail people with a smile.
We called him into the office, sang “Happy Birthday” to him, and then the donations started. 10k from this person, 20m from another, 5k here, 5k there. The office opposite ours joined in too.
By the end of it all, we had raised 214k
Happiness nearly overwhelmed the old man.
He borrowed my phone to call his wife. I didn’t hear their conversation, but shortly after, she sent me a message with four account numbers. Papa told me to send 60k to the first account, then 40k 40k and ₦ 20k to the remaining three. I sent the balance to a POS agent and she gave Papa cash.
Less than two hours later, he came back to show me two pairs of rainboots he had bought. He smiled and said they were for his wife and his last child because the road they take to the market is always flooded, and he didn’t want them stepping into dirty water every day.
I asked him, “Papa, you never repair your phone that fell inside water oh?”
He smiled and said, “Once I collect my salary by month end, I will do that one.”
As I was leaving the office this evening, you needed to see him moving around with so much joy.
That moment reminded me of something… Fatherhood is a lifetime of putting everyone else first. Even when he finally had money in his hands, his first thoughts were his wife and children, not himself.
If your father is still alive, don’t ever forget to appreciate him.
Ije nwoke siri ike makachukwu!
