In his final year at the University of Lagos, while Sowore was in the examination hall taking an exam, security operatives were waiting for him outside the classroom.
From 1998 to date:
Security agencies in Nigeria have arrested activist Omoyele Sowore 548 times.
He has been remanded in detention facilities 46 times.
He has faced trial in court 98 times.
Sowore has taken governors, senators, lawmakers, security agencies, and even the President of Nigeria to court. This is a man who has spent much of his life fighting legal and political battles.
Run whenever you see the police.
Don’t collect unknown “weight bills.”
Stay away from other people’s wives.
No promise woman money
That’s part of the secret to living long and having peace of mind.
Riddles no longer work in today’s world. You cannot just ask question online and keep people spellbound with it. Before you ask finish, dem don open ChatGPT.
All through my primary and secondary school years, I played football back to back, and I was even on a football team at home, yet I cannot juggle a ball up to 3 times without it falling. How do you expect me to like football? But I was a good keeper.
I gave one of my cousin ₦150,000 last month because he said he needs to pay for his daughter’s school fees.
The following DAY he was in my DM again asking for ₦300,000 to contest for a position in his political party.
I have NOT responded to the DM since last month. He called my dad that hope they’re hearing from me!
I explained to my dad, my dad said “I shouldn’t give him anything again, that is how he usually does”. My dad has stopped working so he can’t ask my dad anymore.
Some people are just greedy.
This is why I’m careful to give people money sometimes.
Hello Algorithm, show this to every designer who almost quit.
The software crashed. The client rejected it. The file corrupted at 2am.
They shipped anyway, and that’s the one that went viral.
I clocked something..
Rent is always paid for, nobody notices that the DSTV subscription hasn’t gone off since, nobody notices that the kids haven’t stayed home since they started schooling, nobody notices how the cooking gas is always filled when it finishes, notice how there’s always light in the house even with the crazy units, there’s always fuel in gen when there’s no light.
Nobody appreciates the Man SPECIALLY for all these.. it’s seen as “that’s his job”.. he gets no special props for it.

But the moment you ask why there’s no food in the kitchen and/or why the kitchen is dirty..
It becomes “You think it’s easy to cook and clean, appreciate and support her”
Women want appreciation, support and incentives for their roles, while a Man wanting support for his own role is “not Man enough”.
+ When the Man supports her role, “He’s doing it for his family”
When the Woman supports his role, “She’s doing it for HER MAN”(and not for the family)
These are the issues…
Men need to clock so many things and start speaking up more to regulate these narratives… we can’t continue keeping quiet.. na beg I dey beg una.
Men will be going through a lot and still tell you “I’m okay” when you ask them about how they are doing. They will rather suffer and face it alone til they figure a way out than to bother anyone with their problems. Strong creatures, built different.
If you invite me to your birthday dinner, you’re covering the bill
Don’t invite people out and then ask them to pay for a celebration that was your idea. If you can’t afford to host your guests, stay home and eat your cake😏
This thing has happened to me twice, the most recent was last year. I was on my own o, this babe invited me for her “birthday dinner”. I didn’t know what to give her so i put one bundle of mint 50k in a white envelope. After the dinner the waiter handed me a bill, as i was struggling to understand what was happening, i looked across and saw the same look on the guy sitting opposite me lmao. He asked the celebrant and she said everyone is supposed to pay for their food and drinks. I just took out the money from the white envelope, counted 28k and gave the waiter and put the rest back in my pocket.
@DrKalu_ I'm so angry reading this post, if it's true. If you're a woman and you reported this kind issue to me I will join your husband and insult the hell out of you. Madam, you're mad and the person you tell this shit and didn't insult you is also mad. Fools
