@the_beardedsina In addition having father and mother that are richer than you, so that you can hustle in peace and build a foundation for yourself without worried about black tax is the one i thank God for everyday.
@the_beardedsina It's also a blessing having parents whose survival isn't dependent on you.
It's heartbreaking knowing that one is unable to cater for the ones he loves.
Thank God for everything
Having both your father and mother alive, hale and hearty.
Not on any medications, not paying hospital bills, no chronic illness.
Ask anyone. They'd kill for this.
If you have both be grateful.
Master Chisom Unachukwu from Evergreen Schools, Enugu, will be going to Rome, Italy, next week to watch his student Victor Onwubiko compete with students from 154 other countries at the International STEM Olympiad.
The days of teachers earning their rewards only in heaven are over.
They will be rewarded here on earth. They will drive choice cars, live in mansions, travel for vacations with family, educate their children in Ivy League schools, and support their families better.
Ideally, teaching should be one of the best-paying professions in the country.
We will do our best to change the narrative as far as we can go.
My 10-year-old daughter finally made me the perfect fried eggs. ❤️😂
I woke up thinking that I am so proud of my kids that I wish I had two more. Madam says nothing is stopping me with heavy sarcasm 🤣😂😂
After witnessing labor from 7 am to almost midnight for my daughter, I advised myself. Pregnancy is so risky for women, mothers deserve EVERYTHING!
DON'T BE SURPRISED IF your LinkedIn starts generating inbound opportunities, after Claude runs a full audit and rewrites what was quietly working against you. Here are the prompts:
“It almost seem like you're watching a video from 1960... if this is the thinking in Aso Villa then there's problem o... how many people in the family that they came from have made successes from the things she mentioned…?”

“This Is For All These New Parents We Now Have In Nigeria With Their Stup!d Gentle Parenting. Your Friends And Family Members Will Hear That You’re Bringing Your Child To Their House Or An Event, And They Will Be Irritated. Your Child Will End Up Irritating People Because Of Your Rubbish Gentle Parenting Nonsense. You Will Carry An Ill-Mannered Child And Be Walking Up And Down.” ~ Lady Reacts.
The South East has one advantage that is often overlooked:
People believe in education.
Whether rich or poor, Christian, traditionalist, trader, civil servant, politician, or farmer, there is a deep cultural respect for learning.
You can argue about politics, religion, and ideology, but tell an Igbo parent that education can improve their child’s future, and they will listen.
That cultural acceptance is a massive asset.
Many regions struggle first with convincing people that education matters. In the South East, that battle is largely won already.
Our challenge is no longer acceptance.
Our challenge is quality.
If we can provide world-class teachers, better learning systems, technology, mathematics, AI education, and clear pathways to opportunity, the people will embrace it.
The soil is already fertile.
We simply need to plant the right seeds.
That is why transforming education in the South East may be one of the fastest ways to transform the future workforce of Africa.
Recently, my mom was on admission. Everyday, myself, my siblings and my dad were at the hospital. We kept her company till 10pm before we dispersed, with one person staying back overnight.
Everyday, I looked around and saw the entire family and I smiled. It made me realized part of the ressons I hated living abroad. Your love one is sick and all you can do is send money. Meanwhile, your heart is beating fast because you cant see them. There is celebration or random Sunday family gathering and you are the only one missing. The reason I always show up in person for anything is that money cannot fill the place of presence. It is the memories we share that lingers.
Many families can't gather together anymore for celebration or caregiving. The only time some families can gather now is burial, and even burial no dey see complete family again. Nigeria has to work for the next generation. They deserve to gather around with their cousins, nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles, parents, and grandparents on a random Sunday.
My sister turned 50 on Friday and there was a small party to celebrate her on Saturday. I was the only sibling missing. I cried! Omo! I cried! In May, my brother, his family and my siblings went on a family weekend getaway to celebrate his birthday, I was not there too. See ehn!

Mother: My child is very weak. He is not playing as he would normally do. He has been sleeping and lying down all day.
Me: Bring him to the hospital. We are likely going to admit him.
When said child arrives at the hospital:
