Do you think success comes more from making the right decisions or from avoiding the wrong ones?
I’ve been reflecting lately… big wins feel amazing, but staying consistent often feels like quietly dodging landmines. The mistakes we don’t make might matter more in the long run.
What’s your take? 👇
For the first 7 years of my career, while building my career as a young 9-5'er, many people within my family and friends saw me as "stingy".
But deep down me, I was sure I was not. They were only overrating my financial capability.

During Mothering Sunday Mass today, the priest asked mothers to share what motherhood means to them.
First woman grabbed the mic like she had been waiting all year.
Three minutes.
It was Beautiful, Emotional and Half the church was almost crying.
Then she said “I want to specially appreciate my husband who has been my rock through everything.”
The she Paused.
“Baby stand up Let everybody see you.”
Silence.
“Papa Amanda Stand up.”!!!
Her daughter whispered something but unfortunately the Mic was close to her 😂
“Daddy is outside, He said the mass is too long.”
Everyone Laughed so hard.😂
Then she smiled and said “God is still working on him, Please clap for his potential.”
The roof came off.
Emeka walked in immediately carrying a meat pie with no idea what had happened.
The whole church rose to their feet and started clapping.
He thought it was a coincidence.
Waved and sat down next to his wife.
She smiled at him so sweetly.
He will find out what that smile meant when they get home. 😂
There was a woman who sold rice and stew outside my office building on Broad Street. Every day for 4 years. Big pot. Blue plastic chairs. She knew everyone's order before they reached her table.
Her name was Mama Chidi.
Mine was the last plate before she packed up. 1:45pm. Every day without fail she'd see me coming and start dishing before I even sat down. Extra meat. Never charged me for it. I asked her once why.
She said I looked like someone who skipped breakfast.
She was right every time.
2019 she stopped showing up. No warning. Just gone. I asked around. Nobody knew anything. I switched to a restaurant down the road. More expensive. Smaller portions. Spent 4 years just quietly missing a plate of rice I never properly appreciated.
Last month my colleague forwarded a Twitter post into our work group.
A young guy. Maybe 25. Saying his mother used to sell food on Broad Street before she had a stroke in 2019 that took her left side. That she was recovering but kept asking about her regulars. That she cried one day saying she never got to say goodbye to any of them.
I DM'd him immediately.
He called me 10 minutes later.
She was sitting right next to him.
I heard her voice through the phone. Slower than I remembered. But she laughed when he told her who it was.
She said she always saved my plate last because quiet people need someone looking out for them.
I visited her in Mushin on Saturday. She can't stand long anymore. But she sat up straight in that chair and watched me eat everything she'd made.
Didn't let me leave without packing food for the road.
Some people just decide to take care of you. Before you even know you need it.
Beyond his popularity, Senator Mustapha simply doesnt have the competence and capacity to move Kwara forward.
I believe he will be worse than the current governor
