Men,
When you start making money
Spend money on the things you use daily:
- laptop
- desk
- chair
- bed
- food
- phone
- clothes
- gym membership
This will help you level up 10x faster.
I promise.
I once slept hungry for 3 days straight while still tweeting motivational quotes.
Not because food didn’t exist.
Because pride wouldn’t let me ask for help.
I had ₦0.
My landlord was already threatening me.
Electricity was cut.
My phone was on 12% battery and Twitter was my only escape.
Every morning I’d wake up, drink water, and convince myself hunger was “temporary discipline.”
I was tweeting:
“Remember, pressure builds diamonds 💎”
Meanwhile my body was shaking from weakness.
One night, it got bad.
My vision blurred.
I lay on the floor and genuinely wondered if this is how people quietly die without noise, without witnesses.
I checked my phone.
Someone I used to help when I had money had just tweeted:
“Grateful for growth. God is good.”
I almost replied.
I didn’t.
The next morning, I swallowed my pride and sent one text:
“Please, can you help me with anything? I’m not okay.”
₦3,000 came in.
Not a miracle.
Not a breakthrough.
Just enough to eat and breathe again.
I cried while eating bread and tea.
Not because it was tasty,
but because I realized something brutal:
Social media will clap for your strength,
but it will never feel your pain.
Since that day, I stopped mocking people who ask for help.
And I stopped pretending suffering is a personality trait.
If you’re surviving silently right now you’re not weak.
You’re just human.
