Relationship has nothing to do with money. When you find the right person for you, whom you love and who loves you, you start a relationship. You grow together and enjoy your shared intimacy. Life gets better with time.
Everyone deserves love. Special moments are special because of special people.
She said, “Money is not everything to women; what matters is seeing that our man is doing something.” The same woman still said, “But I will not do 50/50 sharing with him.” LOL.
The above and other un-tallying statements aside, she lost me at “some of us ehn, we get heart of gold.” That mindset is my problem with women: they all think they are good people. That delusional statement resonated so much that the other woman stood up to hug her.
This mindset is why many women think they “suffered” with a man because they BOTH had little or no money while they were together. More often than not, the man had more and funded most of it, yet it was the woman that “suffered” with him.
“I was with him when he had nothing,” but he had and contributed more than you did. LOL.
It is also why none of them are ever the problem—their exes always are, as if we do not see how some women behave in real life.
Why do you think women will wrong you and still expect you to apologize? Because they believe they are perfect and can do no wrong.
“Man bad, woman good” is an ideology allowed to go on too long, so these women genuinely believe they are good by default.
We men must collectively ensure women know they are not automatically good because they think so, but by actually being good.
“Some of us get heart of gold… I will support him” - but “I will not do 50/50 sharing with him.” LOL.
One of my sincere prayers for many Nigerians is that they get the opportunity to experience different societies in their lifetime. Some conversations expose just how differently people view the world.
I tweeted that the American who flew in to hand Peller $20,000 in cash struck me as being very un-American and there is more to it. The responses from Nigerians have been genuinely disappointing.
In the U.S., randomly giving someone a large amount of cash would raise eyebrows. People would naturally ask questions about the motive, and in some cases, even wonder whether something else is going on. Some will even report to the police right away.
I think years of seeing fraud money and stolen wealth repackaged as “philanthropy” have normalized certain things in Nigeria. As a result, many people no longer see why an unusually public or extravagant cash gift might invite skepticism. Very sad.
This coach is not just coaching those kids... He's coaching us all.
What a man!!!
Don't look at other's pace and position focus on your own grind.
There's no first to reach in life. The goal is to be present in the circle of influence
May the universe make it easy for us 🙏
I’m very grateful to everyone at Barcelona for making my time here such a positive and memorable experience. I’ve enjoyed every moment and will take many special memories with me.
I wish the club and all its supporters the very best of luck and every success in the season ahead.
Back in university, I was going through hell, like usual. One day I walked into the cafeteria hoping someone might invite me to eat. I wasn’t begging. You know how sometimes a friend sees you and says, “Come, join us.” Unfortunately, no one did.
So I turned around and started walking back to the hostel.
Just as I got close to the school gate, my phone buzzed. I had received ₦7,000.
I froze.
At the time, I never received that kind of money unless I had been running errands for other students. But this transfer came from someone who had already graduated.
I flashed him, and he called me back.
He said, “NYSC just paid me ₦30,000, and I thought of you.”
My body became weak.
I slowly sat down beside the security men at the gate and cried quietly. Then I got up, walked back to the cafeteria, and finally ate.
These are the memories that keep pushing me to build openChow.
I spent more time in university worrying about where my next meal would come from than actually studying. No student should have to carry that burden.
That’s why I’ll do everything in my power and beyond to make sure openChow succeeds.
And through it all, I’ll never stop believing in the kindness of good friends.
The last time I watched a World Cup Final, I was a 200-level student, in Mariere Hall, Unilag. Today I will be watching from Singapore 🇸🇬. Mehn, God is good!
Babe wey dem send go school dey advise her girlies to think long term by looking for man to "date" that can 'fund their dream and invest in them.'
UN will carry all the scholarship and opportunities and give to the girl child. The same girl child will be waiting for the boy child to fund dream. It is well ooo
You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.
