When my elder sister’s then boyfriend (now husband) had a terrible near-death accident that got him bedridden for almost a full year, it was my sister who was by his side. From feeding him to cleaning him up to watching him.
That’s why I always laugh whenever I see stupid takes on what “LOVE” is on this app. You think love is “Instagram” hallucinations???
I hate to say this but the person in this video is an unintelligent person. I mean no insult actually. It is frankly unintelligent to compare petrol price in uk with Nigeria. It’s terribly dumb.
Let’s do some analysis:
Minimum wage in Nigeria 70,000naira a month. That’s £36. For 30days work. It’s not even up to £40.
Now see this:
Minimum wage in UK is £12.21 PER HOUR. That’s 23,809naira an hour.
This means at £12.21 per hour, the person working minimum wage in uk can make in just 3hours (which is £36.63) the exact same amount of money that someone in Nigeria on minimum wage will earn in 30DAYS.
So the equivalent of 3hours minimum wage work in UK is 30days minimum wage work in Nigeria. Now read this again and think about it deeply.
So next time, if someone does a stupid comparison between the cost of something in uk and in Nigeria, please ask them: Why not compare the minimum wage and the purchasing power in Nigeria and UK?
But more importantly, pls ask:
If petrol is cheaper in Nigeria, and life is better in Nigeria, why is he not packing his things and going back to Nigeria?
Let me be honest with you.
Before marriage, I could have lived entirely for myself.
Wake up when I wanted.
Travel when I wanted.
Spend on what I wanted.
Answer to nobody.
Build nothing new.
Just enjoy myself and call it freedom.
But that is the trap.
Because a man left only to himself can become very comfortable and very empty.
Marriage gave me something comfort never could... responsibility with meaning.
My wife gave my life weight.
My children gave my work faces.
My decisions stopped being about appetite and started being about legacy.
And deeper than that, marriage changed how I understood love itself.
Jesus did not give Himself for the Church because He was forced to.
He gave Himself willingly.
That is what covenant love looks like.
Sacrifice.
Responsibility.
Covering.
Staying power.
That changed me.
Marriage is not just a contract to me.
It is a calling to die to selfishness.
To lead with sacrifice.
To build with love.
To become the kind of man whose presence brings peace, not confusion.
That is the benefit of marriage for a man.
Not just companionship.
Not just sex.
Not just children.
It gives him a reason to become more disciplined, more selfless, more focused, more intentional.
Left to myself, I already know the kind of man I could have remained... comfortable, amused, and going nowhere that truly mattered.
Marriage did not cage me.
It gave me a picture of Christ.
And it called me higher.
🚨🚨🚨| The Iranian football team (and their coaches) have arrived in Malaysia.
They are surrounded my Islamic Regime officials while being escorted to board their final flight to Iran.
This could well be the last time we see them alive.
Protesters blocked a bus carrying Iran’s women’s football team outside a hotel in Australia after five players slipped away to seek asylum.
They say the remaining players could face danger if forced to return to Iran after staying silent during the national anthem.
I disagree, you do not need to divorce to find yourself as a woman.
You can divorce for another reason but not to find yourself.

Do you know the most toxic phrase in modern dating right now? "That’s the bare minimum."
The internet has completely weaponized this phrase to strip away any gratitude for the very real, heavy lifting men do every single day. A man will quietly carry the financial anxiety of an entire household, work himself to the bone, fix the things that break, and fiercely protect his partner's peace. But the moment he wants to be appreciated for it, a viral podcast tells women, "Don't clap for a man doing what he’s supposed to do."
We are actively breeding a generation of deeply ungrateful partners who view a man's daily sacrifice as a basic entitlement rather than an act of love. We have completely normalized consuming a man's effort without ever saying thank you. You cannot demand maximum provision from a man while offering him minimum appreciation, and then act shocked when he eventually stops trying altogether.
After dating whoever you’re dating, make sure you end up with a woman who understands that care is not slavery.
Cooking for your man isn’t oppression, it’s affection.
Just like providing, protecting, and leading isn’t punishment, it’s responsibility.
