I told her to stop her herbal concoction and focus only on her prescribed medication and she’d say “wetin you sabi, you be small pikin”
Until one day I say a new type of concoction on her table and when I asked her she said she bought from someone that advertised it on the bus.
I looked at her and said in pidgin;
“I no go tell you to stop again, abeg continue to dey buy, but I wan tell you something, as you dey bring out money dey buy, also keep money for one corner for your hospital bill and maybe your burial money so that if anything happen to you, me and your other children no go too struggle for money, because as I dey, money wey I go use better my life, I no go use am pay hospital bill when your kidney go start to dey give issues”
“See as we still dey struggle, you no wan pity us wey be your children, if anything happen to you, na you go suffer am pass, and if you die, your body go too tay for mortuary because where we wan get money to bury you”
My mother looked at me, looked at me, and looked at me before saying “ I don hear”
Now I barely see her with any form of herbal concoction.
Please guys I need help.
This number is sending threats to my mother saying he's an assassin that was sent by someone.
I'm trying to find how to track his number... can anyone help me?
I already sent the details to my uncle in the Police force but I need help finding him
When I took a course in Communication, one of the first things they made me do was slow down my speech.
At the time, I didn’t understand why.
Today, whenever I meet someone who talks very fast, I just smile because I know exactly what’s happening.
In many cases, people who speak quickly have minds that process information at an incredible pace. They move from one idea to another in seconds, often long before everyone else has caught up.
I bet people at Chowdeck have to chase Femi around with a Pen and Paper just to catch up with his thought process.
If you're from a very poor family and you get your first international remote job that pays well, don't rush to let everybody know you're making that kind of money. Act like your life hasn't changed overnight.
Here's why. The moment everyone believes you're earning "big money," the expectations begin. Family responsibilities start landing on your head, especially if you're the firstborn. Of course, you want to help. That's normal. But the early stage of your career is the most delicate. Ask yourself one question: If you lose that job tomorrow, what happens?
1. Protect the job first.
The first thing on your mind should be, "How do I keep this job?" Take your communication seriously. Deliver quality work. Be reliable. Meet deadlines. Learn how to work with people from different cultures. Become someone your employer doesn't want to lose.
2. Save while you're still living under your parents' roof.
You're in one of the best financial positions you'll ever have. If there's stable electricity at home, use it. If there's internet, use it. Eat the same ₦1,000 or ₦2,000 meals you've been eating. Don't suddenly start living like you've made it. Save aggressively.
3. Avoid unnecessary distractions.
Leave women alone. Leave men alone. Leave unnecessary enjoyment alone. If you're just getting your first remote job, your focus shouldn't be relationships that drain your time and money. Focus.
4. Upgrade your work setup.
Buy a better laptop if you need one. Upgrade your phone if it affects your work. Get a better chair. If you can't afford an ergonomic chair yet, get something better than what you have. Take care of your back because your body is part of your career.
5. Learn how to earn a second income.
Do this consistently for the next 6 to 12 months. Then shift your focus to landing your second income. That could be another remote job, freelancing, consulting, or a side business built around your skills. One income is good. Two incomes change your life.
6. Protect your savings.
Don't leave your money sitting idle. Keep it in low-risk investments or money market funds where you can still access it if there's an emergency. Build at least 6 to 12 months of living expenses before taking bigger financial risks. Don't chase unrealistic returns.
7. Build your online presence.
Post consistently. Share what you're learning. Help people. Let people in your industry know your name. Be active on two or three platforms. Your online presence becomes insurance because your next opportunity may come from someone who already knows your work.
8. Build your network offline.
Go to events. Meet people. Talk to strangers. Learn how to hold conversations. Build genuine relationships. Your network can open doors your CV never will.
9. Improve your presentation.
Dress well. Not flashy. Just clean, simple, and presentable. Wear a good perfume. You don't need expensive clothes to leave a good impression.
10. Learn financial education.
Understand budgeting. Understand investing. Understand taxes. Understand how businesses work. Learn how to make your money work for you. Don't gamble your future chasing quick money. Build slowly and protect your capital.
11. Diversify your income.
A remote job can disappear overnight. Clients can leave. Companies can lay people off. Don't build your life around one source of income. Build multiple streams.
12. Build before you carry everyone.
Don't disappear from your family because you got your first remote job. Don't immediately carry the financial responsibility of the entire house either. Build yourself first. The stronger your foundation becomes, the more people you'll be able to help without destroying yourself.
I know one thing is permanent. If you don't intentionally work your way out of poverty, poverty will keep chasing you. So move quietly. Build patiently. Save aggressively. Invest wisely. Keep learning. Keep showing up. Let your results speak before your mouth does.

@Jesudunni_ now you see why I am always quiet? Respectfully if you and any of those your group chat friends ever lift or talk about me or as much as call my name I will make sure you know how we treat your kind over here.
And no be cap because a little reminder I am an urhobo girl that grew up in port harcourt and schooled in diobu so distance to deliver your fuck up to Lagos won’t be a barrier.
Ask well.
Okay now let’s pray for forgiveness because shit mehn I gats make heaven 😂 and you people are adding to my church hurt series.
@SkinwithLolami Lmao, I was always told and often beaten growing up that I sounded rude or angry whenever I expressed myself. Now I struggle to speak up when I'm hurt because I'm scared people will think I want to fight, when I really just want to talk. So I just shut down until I'm over it.
