Tribalism is a curse.
Religious fanaticism is a curse.
And these two things have been proven to move around with poverty and death.
There is no prosperous country with tribalism and religious extremism. Show me one. Show me one country where they are religious extremists and are prosperous. NONE.
The reason tribalism and religious extremism is a magnet for poverty and death is because nothing makes a human think with their anus like religion and tribe.
Ancient humans who were primitive moved in tribes. thats why they were ancient and mostly stupid.
Today we move in communities not tribes. Communities are diverse and respectful. tribes are not.
The tribalistic era of England was the poorest and filthiest era of England. The era of England where we had religious extremism was the ugliest and most under developed Era of England. In England religious extremism was so deep to the point where Catholics were hunting down and killing protestants and Anglicans laters were hunting and killing Catholics. Bloody stupidity.
Look at Nigeria.
Tribalism and religious extremism is everywhere. And you are shocked about the poverty and death everywhere? Every tribe is complicit. If you read this and you try to remove your tribe, its a sign you are a tribalist too.
The banditry and insecurity up North is not resolved, not because it cannot be. Its not resolved because its a Hausa Fulani fight. the politicians and leaders from both tribes don't want it to end. their tribe must get a lick.
Call me old school, but I see marriage as the most powerful partnership in life. Maybe even the most important contract you will ever sign… with God Himself as the witness 😇✍🏾
Seeing my baby sister Temi become Mrs Ajibade reminds me that marriage is far from outdated. With the right person, it pulls you closer to purpose and builds love, family, and legacy.

Shew me a token for good; that they which hate me may see [it], and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast holpen me, and comforted me. I
As a single lady, many people saw me as too strict because I would never let them touch me carelessly, call me names like hot, sweet or sexy and I set boundaries.
I left conversations that I wasn’t comfortable with and I was ready to call you out when you begin to speak carelessly, but…
I was not always like that. I went through seasons where I was scared of standing up for my faith, I was scared to lose friends, I was lukewarm in my walk with Jesus, let’s say in the middle. Lol.
Everything changed when I realized that claiming to be a child of God has to be in full. It’s not part time. You cannot say you love Jesus and accommodate sin. You cannot smile at what is unholy.
Then I stepped up, stood for purity, worked on my association and kept following God. It wasn’t easy when I lost friends, I was ignored and laughed at but I felt peace knowing who I am in Christ.
If Christ died for you, do not be ashamed of Him. Do not be ashamed to stand up to the word of God and if you ever feel like you are falling off, go back on your knees. Jesus is always there to help you up💕
Make sure you are following me on here too🫶Nancy Samuel-Ume

Interesting life hack
1. Be kind to the waiter when you go out to eat. Don't fuck with the people preparing and serving your food.
2. It is equally important to have friends in low places as much as those in high places. These people in low places you often look down on, will go above and beyond for you if you make them feel seen, treat them decently, and take care of them.
You cannot put a price on kindness!
