You will know there is zero passion for football from players these days. When Brazil was eliminated, see how Neymar cried. Portugal also eliminated, see how Cristiano Ronaldo cried.
The rest players carry eyes like thief like say na normal weekend league match.
If you're in your woman in your mid 30s looking for a partner and it's been hard getting someone to propose.
I promise you, it's not you. It's the economy.
Keeping a family is expensive.
Most guys who are of marriage age cannot afford it.
You owe it to yourself not to marry a poor woman, a struggling woman, a woman ten layers below your income bracket, an “industrious woman” - whatever that nonsense means - or a financially unreliable woman. You are not guaranteed loyalty, nor a “forever,” with a poor woman, regardless of the sacrifices you make.
I say this for two reasons.
First, poor people cannot, do not, and will not make substantial sacrifices in relationships.
Second, a union with a poor woman overburdens you with the responsibility of manufacturing in her the capacity to be useful, reliable, and functional. You are forced to invest excessively just to make an adult out of a wife for the objective reason of meeting economic demands and ensuring sustenance in the event of instability or calamity. This is too much burden for a man. And doing too much for a woman, or for a relationship with one, is a mutilation of cosmic intelligence and design - you will be punished for it. You will.
However, the deeper point is this: poverty incapacitates people. In this context, it makes them incapable of sacrifice - of investing, gifting, supporting, and contributing meaningfully. Poverty, or the loud asymmetry of financial capacity, excuses women from contribution to the relationship. And it is for this sole reason, that a poor woman will not tangibly contribute to the relationship, that you must not marry one.
Women have a sharp memory of their sacrifices but a dull memory of their privileges. A woman, therefore, cannot be loyal to your sacrifices, because your sacrifices are her privileges. Loyalty to a cause is a function of the memory of the sacrifices made for that cause. A woman will therefore be loyal to the cause that contains her sacrifices, and to the man with whom she made them.
The litmus test for a woman’s loyalty, and consequently the durability of her companionship, is the amount of sacrifice she has made with you.
The point is not that you should not sacrifice for the woman or the marriage. The point is that you must first marry a woman who shares the capability for that relational necessity: sacrifice itself.
Do not marry dependency and call it love. Do not adopt an adult and call it partnership. And do not mistake your endless giving for loyalty earned. A relationship survives not on one person’s sacrifices, but on the mutual memory of sacrifice. I have said enough.
What does mummy do for work?
He said “mumny cooks dinner”.
The mum said “And I am currently the manager director and chief executive officer of Mercedes Benz Nigeria”
But one ojuelegba feminist said women can't work and take care of their homes at the same time.
They even called cooking slavery.
Lazy lots.
Nigerians don’t really grasp the magnitude of the problem we’re in, which is why everyone is still suffering in silence.
In the span of three years:
Fuel went from ₦200 to ₦1,400.
Spaghetti went from ₦200 to ₦1,300.
Eggs went from ₦50 to ₦300.
A kilo of chicken went from ₦2,500 to ₦7,500.
A kilo of turkey went from ₦3,500 to ₦11,500.
A self-contained apartment went from ₦350k to ₦1 million.
A mini flat went from ₦650k to ₦2.5 million.
A plate of rice and chicken went from ₦2,500 to ₦7,000.
Local flights went from ₦60k to ₦300k+.
Federal university school fees went from ₦30k to ₦150k+.
I can go on and on. Mind you, this is his first tenure, and he’s actively campaigning for a second term. Honestly, if we truly understood the magnitude of the problem we’re in right now, we would be on the streets, at the National Assembly, on major flyovers, and at airports, taking action.
By the time most of you fully grasp the damage this man has done, you’ll probably be in your 40s and might end up settling for a mediocre life.
You cannot be in your right senses and be supporting a government like this. It is not possible.
bro to bro:
make money and make a lot of it, nothing else gives you the real freedom to walk away from people, places, situations and bullshits you don't like.
On the 16th of December 25, I discovered a deadly evil being perpetuated by citizens against fellow citizens. In the course of this story, I'll make use of fictional names but real locations where they occured.
On that Tuesday morning, Olamide, a 25 year old boy came back to his apartment in Rumuigbo with his Toks Lexus RX 350, which he bought the previous week, and was celebrating with everyone. He had picked up the car from Apapa, Lagos, where he went with a mechanic whom he met on FB marketplace and drove down to see his people in Delta before proceeding to PH on that day. The car had been in his possession for over 7 days before he came to PH.
Let me give you a backstory on Olamide. He is an only son with 6 sisters and he is the 4th child. His father is in Quatar, working as a boat operator and his mother is a teacher in one of the government secondary schools in Delta state. Olamide is a waiter in one prominent place in Onne, hence the urge to get a car. His dad sent him the money for the car since the boy wasn't patient enough for one to be shipped to him.
While we were celebrating, we heard gunshots outside the gate and almost immediately the gate flew wide open. Operatives of EFCC and NPF filled the compound and everyone was in panic mode. I sharply went inside and called the NAF base and Army barracks, sent my location and went outside. I was on pass so I had no official capacity to act, hence my silence. They told everyone to lie down, started rough handling everyone. Some started going door to door, pounding and shouting that everyone must come out. I tried talking to the one I sensed was the most senior and he shunned me. I didn't argue or drag. They checked their tablet and kept pointing at the car, "oga na the car be this. Tracker no dey lie." While they were at it, 4 vans filled with soldiers arrived, and 6 of them came into the compound. Upon seeing them, I got up immediately and told everyone on the floor to stand.
We started asking questions, and they said the car belonged to a yahoo boy and it was seized by the EFCC. They claimed the car was missing from their lot and they have been tracking it for over 4 months, so I had Olamide describe the vendor's location and calls were made to Lagos, some soldiers and some members of the Lagos RRS stormed the place, picked up the seller and began interrogating him. That's where things went dark.
The car seller has an active agreement with a handful from the EFCC. If a young guy buys a car, they install trackers and sell it to him, wait for some days and bust the guy, retrieve the car and arrest him while tagging him a yahoo boy. The car is then returned to the car dealer and the dealer gives EFCC their own share from the car sales proceeds. The mechanic is in on it also.
After all these exposé, I realized that we have a very long way to go as a country.
To the young men, do your research before you walk into any dealership to buy a car. Ask questions, swallow pride. That 24-48 hours of information gathering will save you a long time in prison.

Slowly realizing that an increasing number of Nigerian women have nothing to offer in relationships, and I’m not talking about finance.
Emotionally, mentally - nothing. No contribution to your growth in any way. They just want to take and take. Damn.
You are broke.
I am broke.
We fell in love and we are dating.
But somehow I should appreciate you for dating a broke man like me?
I am your best option. You are not doing me a favour.
