This was me some years back.
There’s a wheelbarrow guy who normally comes to our office to dispose of our waste. He usually charges between N700 and N1,000, but somehow, I would still price him down. 😂
One particular day, he came as usual to pack the refuse. We were all outside, and I was bargaining with him to collect N300 instead of the N500 he asked for.
One of my drivers quietly put his hand in his pocket, brought out N1,000 and gave it to the man.
Then he looked at me and said:
“Boss, God has blessed you to a certain level. There are some conversations you should be above.”
Omo… my feet dragged on the ground. 😂
That statement humbled me.
Sometimes, it’s not about whether you can get something cheaper. It’s about understanding that there are people whose little earnings mean far more to them than the few hundred naira you are trying to save.
Since that day, I’ve learnt to ask myself: Is this really a negotiation, or am I simply trying to save money at someone else’s expense?
That was one of the simplest but deepest lessons I’ve ever received from someone who works for me.
Police saw creatine in my gym bag and asked me “no be cocaine be this?”
I didn't know when I asked, “Are you okay?” and it wasn't even from a place of insult but grave concern.
Thank you, Mercy.
This is someone we can get behind. I would like us to support him going forward. Today might just be his lucky day. This is his account number and I've sent mine. Raise am 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Lol you people are funny sha, that's why any small play babe play with you people you would assume she is in love with you guys, person wey fit just dey joke without anything in her mind
You have to fall in love with her in different versions. The young her, the tired her, the pregnant her, the ambitious her, the difficult her, the woman she becomes with time. That’s the real secret.
The person who invented the word “wonders shall never end” had Nigeria in mind!!!
Senator Peter Onyekachi Nwebonyi went to campaign in Izzi, Ebonyi State, but there was no bridge connecting him to the town.
So, he stood on the other side of the river to solicit for votes.
I’m speechless.
