i have no shame in telling people that i can't afford something or a particular lifestyle because can you see this country?? i'm barely staying alive and you want me to be doing class wars up and down. abeg!!
Hate to admit it but they were right. You kind of do need to disappear, lock in like crazy, raise your standards, and refuse to lower them to get your dream life.
Because for the longest time, especially before life soft financially - "some of you" designed your entire anticipation of happiness around the "fine things of life".
Now you have the visas, fast cars, deep pockets.
Nothing more, that fit your original design for happiness, is there to anticipate.
The fine things of life are undeniably great perks, but they are just what they are - perks.
And to hit this inflection point when you've just hit 1/3rd of life is the easiest route to depression.
True happiness is not tied to fleeting desires, perishables or ephemerals - it is always tied to purpose and ikigai.
If you find yours before the perks of life hit your shore, you will look forward to every day - this time in a fast car, in a nice condo, staring through the overwhelming stretch of your woman's bumbum on a Greek island.
Lagos people are actually crazy π€£π€£π€£
I entered danfo this afternoon, normal ride. Conductor started shouting "Enter with your change oo!"
One guy said he'll transfer.
Conductor said, "No transfer. Cash."
Argument started.
Guy said, "I no get change."
Conductor: "Then why you enter my bus?"
Guy vex small, said he'll come down.
As he was stepping down, conductor was still insulting him.
This guy just paused ..
Looked the conductor dead in the eye and said:
"Na why you never blow since 2021."
Turned out he knew the conductor in his upcoming musician era.
