Ed Sheeran really said, “If everyone else is leaving, I might as well make it interesting.”
When the opening acts are cancelled and your own band quits, you know the tour has entered a completely different level of chaos.
But beyond the joke, when the people who are supposed to share the stage with you start walking away, it raises serious questions about what is happening behind the scenes.
A concert is supposed to be about the music, the fans, and the performance.
Once internal disagreements start affecting who can even stand on that stage, the entertainment becomes secondary.
I entered the Nigerian Military School at the age of 11. I started receiving military training from JSS1, crossing obstacle courses, doing service jobs, participating in military drills, and learning discipline from a very young age.
By JSS3, around the age of 13–15, I had already started going for bush camping. I endured rigorous flogging and punishments, learned to adapt to difficult situations, and developed the ability to take care of myself under challenging conditions.
By SS1, I started going to the shooting range, where I was trained to handle weapons such as the AK-47, FN rifle and GPMG. We also had proper bush camping, shooting blanks, learning fieldcraft, and being exposed to experiences that shaped us at a very young age.
Then there was the whole culture of serving our seniors. In JSS2 and JSS3, I used to shine my seniors' boots, iron my master's uniform, arrange my room and carry out various duties. It taught me responsibility, discipline, humility and how to manage myself even when things weren't convenient.
By Class 6, I became a White Man, I had more freedom, especially within the hostel, but officers and soldiers were still there to keep you disciplined and make sure you stayed on your toes.
Throughout all these years, I made friends who became more like brothers. We covered for each other, motivated each other, endured difficult situations together and still found ways to laugh, even when the situation didn't permit it. Those experiences created bonds and memories that don't simply disappear because you graduated.
After everything I experienced, you expect me not to carry it for head?
I carry am for head dieeeee.
And mind you, this is only a fraction of what I experienced at the Nigerian Military School.
Even Generals who graduated 30 or 40 years ago still carry the NMS identity with pride. Look at the calibre of people the school has produced, from senior military officers to accomplished individuals in the civil and political sectors, both in Nigeria and abroad.
So yes, I carry it with pride.
Long live the Nigerian Military School.
I am damn proud to be an EX-Boy.
This might sound cliché coming from me because I have said it at least seven times, if you care to search my page, but I’ll say it again. It is cliché because it is true anyway.
I like women a lot. My God! I wish I were exaggerating or trolling, but I’m not. I’m in love with women, particularly because they are not as fòolish as men, especially when it comes to dating.
A few days ago, a lady tweeted that there’s nothing in this life that would make her borrow money for a man she’s dating. That the least she could do is take out a loan for him using HIS BVN.
And here is another tweet from a woman basically saying she’d be stingy with her money if she were a man, because why would she spare extra money from her salary to give to a woman? Go through the comments and quotes, and it’s women agreeing with her and laughing about it.
You know what? I’m honestly not mad about it. Because, like I rightfully said, I love women a lot.
A few days ago, Ayra Starr’s younger sister, Salt, said on a podcast we watched here that if she’s richer than a man she’s dating, not only will she control him, but he also won’t know that she has more money than him, as he’d still have to be providing for her and giving her money.
What I’m driving at is very simple: women are ruthless with financial decision-making. No man is as frugal as the average woman. A woman you are dating can, in fact, “borrow” you money to buy something she wants, and then you refund her the money she lent you when you have it.
Yes, that is how fóolish men are. And women are never that dvmb. For that reason, I love them so much and I rate them.
What this tweet I quoted is basically saying is that men are stupïd.
The things you, as a man, will do for a woman with your money, 99.9% of them will never do for you. It is not because they don’t like you. They are simply not stupïd or reckless with their money.
You, the man, are the emotional one when it comes to dating. Women are the logical ones. They lied to you your whole life. And I hope you learn from them.
