Once You Decide You Want to Move Forward in Life, Cut These 7 Things Off Immediately

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

There’s a silent disaster happening in Nigeria that nobody wants to confront honestly.

We keep shouting about unemployment, bad leadership, low productivity, corruption, poor healthcare, failed institutions and why our country is not working. But many people are avoiding the root cause.

Our education system has been deeply compromised.

A student enters secondary school or university full of dreams, intelligence and potential. Then the system teaches them something dangerous:

“You do not need competence to succeed.”

WAEC malpractice. NECO malpractice. GCE runs. Sorting. Sex for grades. Extortion. Intimidation. Victimization. Handout rackets. “See me after class.” “Talk to your lecturer.” “Settle this course.”

And after 4 or 5 years of surviving that environment, we expect excellence to magically appear.

It won’t.

A country cannot repeatedly reward dishonesty in classrooms and expect integrity in government offices, hospitals, engineering sites, courtrooms and businesses.

This is where many of our unemployable graduates are coming from.

Not because Nigerians are not intelligent.
Not because our youths are lazy.
But because too many people were trained inside a system where merit was murdered.

The painful part is this:

UNN, UNILAG, FUTO, ABU, UI, IMSU, ABSU and many others are using largely the same NUC-regulated curriculum.

The difference is standards.

The universities that still command respect are usually the ones with stronger resistance against sorting, extortion and academic fraud.

The ones collapsing in reputation are often the ones where corruption became normalized.

Once a student realizes they can buy an “A” with ₦20,000, or sleep their way through a course, or manipulate results through connections, the motivation to truly learn starts dying slowly.

And when millions of such graduates enter the labor market, the entire country pays the price.

That weak engineer may eventually supervise a bridge.

That poorly trained nurse may handle a patient.

That compromised accountant may manage public funds.

That fake first-class graduate may become a lecturer and reproduce the same cycle again.

This is no longer just an education problem.

It is a national security problem.

Countries become great because they protect competence fiercely.

Singapore did it.
China did it.
Germany did it.
South Korea did it.

You cannot build a first-world country with a third-world attitude towards education integrity.

Nigeria does not have a shortage of talent.
Nigeria has a shortage of systems that protect excellence.

And until we become ruthless about fighting academic corruption, exam malpractice, sorting, sex-for-grades and institutional intimidation, we will continue producing certificates instead of competence.

This fight is bigger than schools.

It is about the future survival of Nigeria itself.

There is massive exploitation of students currently going on at Abia State University.

Students are being forced to sort almost all courses or they will fail. Exam scripts are only marked when students sort with N5000.

They have extremely horrible lecturers.

This must stop!

[👑S.A.L.A.K.O🕊 @UnkleAyo]

You think I'm happy living abroad?

I have a family I grew up with, whom I love with all of my heart - and the reality keeps dawning on me, on how many times I will see them before I one day turn 60.

People I saw daily, or once a month - I haven't seen in years, and would realistically only see once a year, going forward.

You think I'm happy?

That one day, I might end up having children and my siblings might not have the relationship with them - the relationship I had with my uncles, in my formative years? I remember clearly how they would take us to MrBiggs every Sunday - I am currently reliving the flavour from that meatpie.

How we would go to the family house in Ikeja, every year for Eid. The grandchildren uniforms, the snacks while watching your uncles slaughter rams.

You think I'm happy that I might one day lead a family of children who might not know their version of that?

WTF will I be doing in another man's land, if I did everything they asked me to do from childhood (face your studies, be exceptional, stay away from crime, be hardworking) and opportunities lined up for me to be the best I could, in my motherland? WTF will I be doing here?

Why will I condescend myself to living in a clime where I have to mentally switch from sun burning weather to teeth clenching winter - when I came from a land where I never needed gloves? You think I'm happy?

If I could do honest work, be on my way home and not have to bother about the risk of getting shot by the people meant to protect me, because I have some lines of tattoos on my body - you think I would leave?

If I could trust a justice system to defend me, ensure my rights even though I am a nobody - have trustworthy institutions banking on the highest standards, not have to worry about the bread I eat, the fake drinks from the club or streets, the fake drugs - you think I would leave?

Don't get me wrong. I am grateful for the opportunities this clime has given me, to test my limits - to be everything I thought I could be. But all of these, in replacement for the soul I grew up with?

You know the satisfaction that settled within me when I could wake up on a Saturday morning, stroll to the Iya wanke's place - relish an entire plate, or some ewa agonyin while watching children battle it out, in a 5 v 5 across the streets.

That communal living that relished my soul, is now replaced with silent streets and finely divided sealed terraces.

You walk through the city centres in the evenings - you see friends having an aperitif (they do so every evening), you see grandfathers meeting up with their children, you see entire families with extended families living across the streets, first cousins are even able to use the same gym and you remember what that looked like for you back home?

You think of all your friends scattered across continents, some you might never get to hug again.

For a lot of diasporans, you don't want Nigeria to work more than us. A lot of us want to come home, but what is home? Where is home? When will home feel like home?

I hope to continue living life without lack, in comfort, with accomplished dreams - but I want to do so, with soul. When I die one day, I want to do so - with soul.

[Nnamdi Obi @nnamdiobiii]

Anyone who believes the bible was used to enslave his continent has to be one of the dumbest dudes to walk the planet

The Bible was not used to enslave Africa. Slave traders used selective misreadings of the Bible to justify what they had already decided to do for economic reasons. There is a difference. A big one.

Slavery existed in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Arab world thousands of years before Christianity arrived on the continent. The Transatlantic Slave Trade was not a Bible project. It was a capital project.

The same Bible that slaveholders quoted was the primary weapon abolitionists used to end slavery. Wilberforce, a devout Christian, spent 20 years in Parliament fighting to abolish the trade. Harriet Tubman, an enslaved woman, used her faith as fuel to free hundreds.

The most prominent voices against colonialism and slavery in the 18th and 19th century were not atheists or traditionalists. They were Christians, many of them African Christians, who read the same Bible and concluded that slavery was an abomination before God.

If the Bible enslaved Africa, what do you do with the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has held the Christian faith since Acts 8, centuries before Europe was Christianized? Did Ethiopia enslave itself? Did the Bible oppress Axum?

The logic of “the colonizers brought it, so it must be a tool of colonization” does not survive contact with history. The colonizers also brought Western medicine, railways, and the English language.

What actually oppressed Africa was not a book. It was guns, ships, economic incentives, political betrayal by local collaborators, and a global system designed to extract. The Bible was the costume worn by that system, not the engine driving it.

If someone uses a hammer to commit murder, the hammer is not a murder weapon. It is a tool that was misused. You do not throw away every hammer in existence. You hold the man accountable. Hold the slaveholders accountable, not the scriptures they twisted.

Rejecting the Bible because Europeans misused it is doing exactly what they want, surrendering your own ability to encounter truth because of what someone else did with it. That is not decolonization. That is just a different kind of intellectual captivity.

This is 2026, stop all this nonsense takes.

Read or just admit you prefer idol worshipping to the bible and stay there.

You think the Catholic Church is a cult because you've never seen real worship in your life.

You grew up in a church where the lights are flashing, the music is blasting, people are jumping up and down, crying, shouting, falling out, and someone told you that that is worship.

That is entertainment, that is emotion.
That is not worship. Real worship is walking into a space and immediately feeling the weight of where you are.

- The silence, the incense, candles,
people kneeling, heads bowed.
Not because someone told them to perform, but because they actually believe they are standing before God.

The entire mass is built around one thing, the Holy Eucharist. The actual body and blood of Jesus Christ. Not a symbol, not a memory.

God, physically present on the altar.
You do not jump up and down in the presence of God.
You kneel.
You are silent.
You receive him with humility because you understand what is actually happening.

The early church did not have hype men and a smoke machines.
They gathered in silence in homes willing to die for what they believed in.

That is the church Christ built.
So before you call it a cult,
understand what you are looking at first.

[Wilberforce Theophilus @Eze_Wilberforce]

Whatever you do, don't open a bank account in your own name.

I didn't know this until my dad stopped me the day I got my first paycheck.

I'd done everything right. Got paid. Went to the bank, opened a savings account in my name, and deposited the whole thing.

My Boss looked at me and said, “You just put a target on your back.”

Then I had no idea what he meant.

He explained that the moment your money sits in your name, it's exposed.

Creditors can see it. Lawyers can find it. Anybody with a judgment against you can freeze it and take it completely legally.

So here's what he told me to do:

Step 1. Go to the IRS and apply for an EIN.

A tax ID number, but for a trust instead of a person.

Step 2. Select a revocable trust as your entity type. List yourself as both the grantor and trustee. It gives you full control of everything.

Step 3.

Take that EIN to any bank and open an account under that trust name, not yours.

The money is still yours. You spend it, move it, and invest it however you want. But on paper, it's not attached to you.

If someone sues you, they can't touch what they can't see.

This is the system intelligent billionaires have always used.

Own nothing on paper, control everything in reality.

True currency is steadfast friendship

[Remi @Miss_Oluremi]

Not a skincare product, but a basic routine:

1. I started washing my pillowcase and bedsheets more frequently.
2. I stopped sharing my pillow.
3. I started eating more cucumbers, and I drank lemon infused warm water with honey.
4. I use sunscreen even when I'm indoors.
5. I started avoiding exposure to direct sunlight.
6. I stopped poking my face.
7. I avoided sugar and sugary content. Consuming too much sugar can speed up ageing, cause acne, slow healing, cause dull skin. Etc.
8. I exercise and drink water.
9. I became intentional with what I ate. Our skin is, most times, the reflection of what we take in.
10. My face towel is different from my body towel.

Bonus: Skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. What works perfectly for someone else might not suit your skin at all. Instead of following trends or copying what works for others, focus on understanding your own skin and choosing products that truly work for you.

First, it's not exclusive to women.
Second, make sacrifices before it's the right thing to do, not because you want to be paid back. Experience shows many people forget.
