Can’t totally fault people who resort to dating apps or matchmaking pages to find partners.
Once you miss university.
Miss NYSC.
Miss church gatherings or Islamic gatherings.
Don’t want to date your work colleagues.
Neighbor is a no go area.
Your best bet is either through social media, family and friends matchmaking, arranged marriage or you download your partner from heaven. If you’re an introvert that means you will sleep there.

What a shame it would be to pass through this life… and leave no trace of yourself behind. No younger version of you running around. No blood carrying your name forward. No life that you created.
Go have kids. Be bold. Be brave.
It won’t kill you — but time? Time waits for no one.
Life shouldn’t be hard fr bro
I help you, You help me, we both grow, make money & win. Everybody is happy
Rivalry, Jealousy & Competition mentality just ruins everything
New format:

D: Okay.
My first week in the UK, I went to a Tesco store to buy a few things. I picked toothpaste, body oil, lubricant and big mayonnaise.
I got a bag and, after putting the items inside, the bag suddenly tore and the mayonnaise broke.
The first thing that ran through my mind was:
“Chai… so I will have to pay for another one again?” 😪😭
While I was still deep in my sapa thoughts, about 2–3 staff members rushed to me saying:
“Oh my darling.”
“You alright?”
“Bless you, my lovely.”
“Are you hurt?”
“Do I need to ring 999?”
“Do you need medical attention?”
“Are you sure you’re okay?”
I was so confused like… what exactly is going on here? At the same time, I felt like a spoiled toddler being over-pampered.
Then one of the staff members rushed to the aisle and replaced everything I bought. I mean everything.
Water first Comot for my eyes 😭😭
In those moments I remembered my dear country….
If you’ve never travelled outside Nigeria, you might not understand how much we are actually suffering in that ZOO. 😔
If you’ve had a similar experience abroad, kindly share it with us. What shocked you the most when you first travelled?
On the morning of May 29th, 2023:
• $1 = N460
• 1 liter of fuel = N197
• 1 kg of gas = N570
• 1 crate of eggs = N2,500
• 1 bag of pure water = N150
Tinubu 3 years in office:
• $1 = N1,400
• 1 liter of fuel = N890
• 1 kg of gas = N1,200
• 1 crate of eggs = N6,000
• 1 bag of pure water = N400
Relax Tinubu is working. Fvcking idi0ts.
There’re no ambulances to take you to the hospital, but there’re “City Boy” buses to take you to campaign grounds.
On that mandate you shall collapse! Proper idiots!
When we first moved to the UK, my husband was working 6–7 days a week, 10–12 hour shifts in a warehouse.
I was in school, still applying for jobs, and learning a whole new system.
Most men couldn’t last a few months in that place.
But my husband? He was built different.
Some nights, he would wake me up to stay online with his login details so I could help him pick extra shifts before others grabbed them at midnight. While he was on the warehouse floor, I was at home refreshing his portal, doing fastest fingers, reading for my course and applying for jobs.
During his breaks, we would chat online.
He would come home to a prepared meal and rest.
Sometimes we would sit together and calculate cheaper logistics routes.
There was a time I escorted him on foot for almost 25 minutes every morning just so he could catch a bus to meet his pickup junction on time.
He always informed me when he got to work.
Always told me his itinerary.
One day I asked him:
“Why are you rushing to pick extra shifts when others are resigning?”
He said:
“My wife and kids are my motivation. Whenever I think about you, I get strength. The job doesn’t feel hard again.”
It took a lot from me to finally convince him to leave that warehouse after he got a proper engineering job in his field.
Today, when we drive past some places, we laugh.
We pass the first house we rented.
The second company he worked for.
The first engineering job he got in the UK.
We remember the days he rode a bicycle to work.
His first bicycle accident.
The scars from some of the jobs he did.
Just a few days ago, we drove past those places with our kids on a fun outing and laughed like we were watching a movie of our past.
Sometimes people see you and assume the worst.
They don’t understand that many hardworking men are not driven by fear.
They are driven by love.
He was happy doing all he did.
Happy coming home to a wife he could be vulnerable with.
Happy building a future with someone who stood with him in the struggle.
This is an experience some people may never have in their entire life —
because they mock the kind of love that builds empires.
In this life, you don’t just need a partner.
You need a teammate.
And when you find one, protect it. ❤️
