This line from Atomic Habits isn't ready to leave my head:
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."
Also Jesus is an incredibly caring person. There’s this miracle that stuns me, Jesus meets a man born deaf and mute, and he takes him away from the crowd to heal him.
I imagine Jesus knew that sound would have been bewildering to him for the first time and he didn’t want him to embarrass himself in front of a watching crowd.
I want a God like that, who doesn’t want me to be a freak show, who is mindful of me being restored privately without the prying eyes of others.
I'm sorry; I still have something to say on this matter. Please, bear with me.
Why do people expect virtue from the poor that the rich lack? Why do we expect restraint from the poor and illiterate that the rich and educated cannot afford?
We've seen rich and educated people throw chairs in the House, we've seen them beat each other up, we've seen them climb the fence and riot, we've seen them kidnap the Mace, we've seen the rich steal like mindless zombies...
All our INEC heads for decades have been professors. Were they incorruptible? Did we not see Honourable Judges suddenly become unable to understand "...and 25 percent in the FCT"?
If learned men with foreign university degrees, who don't have to worry about money or food, still get paid to rig elections, why are we witch-hunting the poor who are getting paid in food and measly stipends?
Don't blame the poor or the illiterate. Blame the system that weaponised disadvantage and greed to its pernicious gain.
Final questions:
If the poor didn't collect Semo and Indomie, do you guarantee that the elections would not be rigged?
Who do you think is more influential in the scheme of rigging: the educated and rich who get luxurious houses and billions, or the illiterate poor who get Semo and Indomie?
This evil system is scapegoating the poor, but they're not the accessories; they are the victims.
Withdraw your sympathies from the corrupt rich people first.
This is exactly why you’ll find grown men glorifying their mothers’ sacrifices while having very little understanding of what those sacrifices actually cost them. I remember my aunt once telling me that leaving her job was one of the worst decisions she ever made yet her
Please oh, lets clear something. Say you no like the outcome of the film doesn't make it rubbish. If it didnt end the way YOU wanted, that's your opinion, it doesn't make the film a bad film. I say lemme to clarify.
One idea that has revolutionized my thinking is this: you are allowed to not want things.
You can look at everything society tells you that you need to have and just be like, “Nope. I will not be participating.”
Just wanted to remind you that you are capable of more than you think. The dreams in your heart are there for a reason.
Keep showing up. The breakthrough you're praying for is closer than you think. 🌸
If you’re in that church or ministry because you think the pastor will marry you, he won’t, he has a wife already, they just never post am.
Don’t wait till then before you leave, leave now…
There is also a conversation we need to have with Christian men.
Because some of you speak about women with an underhanded disdain that is deeply un-Christlike, then hide behind “biblical order” to justify it.
You cannot simply look at every Christian woman who resonates with feminism and dismiss her as rebellious. History has shown women have had reasons to fight. The Church is not entirely innocent in the abuse and silencing of women. We have sometimes weaponized Scripture instead of rightly dividing it.
Some women did not become angry because they hate God. They became angry because people used God against them.
There are women who have been talked down to, ignored, diminished, spiritually manipulated, and emotionally controlled in church spaces while men quoted “submission” at them like a threat.
And when women begin to push back against that, you cannot automatically label them rebellious without enough humility to ask:
“What exactly are they reacting to?”
Because even in Scripture, God did not condemn women who challenged systems.
The daughters of Zelophehad fought.
They contended.
They challenged a structure that disadvantaged them.
And God said:
“The daughters of Zelophehad speak right.” (Numbers 27:7)
Not rebellious.
Not dishonorable.
Not with the spirit of Jezebel…
Right.
Some of you need to realize that being male does not automatically make your interpretation superior.
Statements like:
“Woman was created later, therefore she is lesser,”
“Eve was deceived, therefore women are inferior,”
“Men are naturally superior because Adam came first,”
do not make you sound spiritually mature. They make you sound biblically unintelligent.
Genesis 1 says:
“Male and female created he them.”
God did not create woman as an afterthought. He had both genders in mind from the beginning.
And Genesis 2 is not about superiority.
It is about order.
Order does not mean value.
Christ and the Church have order.
The Father and the Son have order.
Order is not inferiority.
In fact, biblical leadership is not domination.
Christ never used His position to belittle the Church, He died for her.
So how did some Christian men become more arrogant than Christ?
You brandish submission like a weapon.
You speak about masculinity like it is superiority.
You talk about women as though leadership means lordship.
News flash, you are not a biblical male. You are carnally minded and we all know what that means.
To lead in our Kingdom is to serve. Where is your service?!
And if creation order is your argument for superiority, then goats should be greater than men because animals were created before Adam.
The logic collapses immediately.
The truth is many women are angry because they encountered distortion disguised as doctrine.
Male ego preached as theology.
Misogyny defended with proof texts.
And instead of constantly rushing to call women rebellious, maybe Christian men need enough self-awareness to ask:
“Have we represented Christ properly?”
Because many women are not rejecting Christ.
They are reacting to men who looked nothing like Him.
Love and Light… with a sprinkle of Holy Ghost Fire.
Stop sharing your platform and spotlight with men you’re dating — Media personality, Jola Ayeye warns influential women
Media personality Jola Ayeye is stirring conversations after sharing her blunt take on relationships and influence during an episode of I Said What I Said Podcast.
According to her, women are often too generous when it comes to sharing the platforms they’ve built from scratch, especially in romantic relationships.
She questioned the trend of female influencers, creatives, and entrepreneurs quickly integrating their partners into their personal brands, sometimes even evolving into full-blown “couples’ content.”
Ayeye argues that building visibility, whether as a podcaster, musician, or businesswoman, takes years of effort, consistency, and strategy.
Yet, in the excitement of love, many women unintentionally hand over that hard-earned visibility to partners who didn’t contribute to building it.
In her words, “social capital is real,” and women tend to give it away too easily. She pointed out a noticeable pattern, many couples’ platforms start with a woman who already has an audience, then introduces her partner into that space. The reverse, she says, is far less common.
Even in industries like film and music, she noted that men are typically more reserved about publicly sharing their relationships or spotlighting their partners.
Beyond just visibility, Ayeye highlighted the long-term implications. When relationships end, the man often walks away with a portion of the audience that the woman cultivated.
Even worse, some couples feel pressured to maintain appearances online despite private struggles, simply to protect the “brand.”
Leave the church out of this.
The church is not pretending, it's only upholding the standard of the Bible. "Marriage is honorable and its bed undefiled" Heb 13 : 4.
But if you people wanna keep sleeping around till you find someone you are sexually compatible with, then good luck to you.
It won't still change God's standard.
Let me put it in perspective if you still don’t know how ridiculously bad and incompetent this government is;
The five naira note is useless.
The 10 naira note is useless.
The 20 naira note is worthless.
The 50 naira note can only buy a sachet of water and gum.
N100? Three sachets of water.
N200 can’t buy one egg.
How about the highest naira denomination?
N1,000 cannot buy bread.
N1,000 cannot buy sardines.
N1,000 cannot buy a liter of fuel.
N1,000 cannot buy a liter of juice.
N1,000 cannot buy a plate of street food.
So, for a poor Nigerian to be able to feed at least 2x a day, they’ll spend between 3-7k (note: I’m talking about poor Nigerians here). Let’s assume they spend 4k per day on food. 4,000 × 30 = 120,000 monthly.
Where do you think they’ll be able to see that kind of money, only for food?
Tinubu must go, and it shall never be well with all of you supporting this government. You’ll ask God for peace and prosperity, and He will forsake you. 🙏🏾
