My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
I’ve met people who barely talk about God but treat others with love, and I’ve met people who never miss church but don’t know how to treat people right.
This is why you have to give it to the Igbos, even if they aren’t in your good books. No one calls out their own more than the Igbos.
From Obi Cubana, to Chief priest, to Umahi, to Ekweremadu, the list is endless.
Nothing concern Igbo person with tribalism. One love! ❤️
Your village people haven't won, and your family isn't cursed. You live in a country where it is 5x harder for young people to achieve their goals. There is nothing wrong with you, you are not a failure. You are simply a product of a struggling economy.
In Nigeria, we live by the dash.
Everyone expects you to dash them. The security man doing his job, the police doing his job, the person giving you direction, the one helping with a parking space, the babe you said hi to, the relations that think you have money.
The list is endless.
