We often admire successful people for what they have built, without understanding what it took to build it. That difference can determine how we approach our own ambitions. https://t.co/3TOLPKQbz9

Marriage Wahala Episode 5 will be out in a jiffy. I spent my night working on this after much procrastination. The bad network was also part of the delay though. Hope you guys likes it.
Not every day will go according to plan.
Some days you’ll make progress. Other days, you’ll learn patience.
Just don’t let one bad day convince you that your whole life is going wrong.
One day at a time. God is still in control. 🙏🏾
Dear Lord, as this Saturday unfolds today, grant us peace and rest. Help us to reflect on Your blessings and prepare our hearts for the week ahead.
May Your love guide our actions and fill our homes with joy. Amen.
You don’t need that "shiny new thing" in order to smile. Take a second to appreciate all the "shiny things" you already have that aren’t so new.
New is overrated. Sometimes ideas from thousands of years ago are all we need to be happy.
Lately, I’ve learned that sometimes, you just need to be alone. No noise, no expectations, no pressure to explain yourself to anyone. Just you, your thoughts, and a little peace.
Sometimes being exceptionally good at something can trap you in it.
People praise you for it, start depending on you for it, and eventually struggle to see you as anything beyond it. The moment you want to try something else, they act as though you’re wasting your potential.
You can become so good at the thing that made people notice you that they never give you room to become anything else.
The NGX has a 10% daily price limit. Every beginner should know what that does.
A stock can't rise or fall more than 10% in one trading session. That's why you keep seeing +10.00% and -10.00% in the market wraps.
Real examples:
→ June 24: Dangote Cement and BUA Cement both hit the 10% limit down in one session.
→ September 23: Eterna rose +10.00% to ₦38.50.
What it means for you:
1. It caps the damage in a single day, not over a week.
2. A stock stuck at limit-down may have more sellers than buyers. Getting out can take days.
3. A limit-up doesn't mean the rally is over. Demand may just have hit the daily ceiling.
Volume vs value: the number that misleads most beginners.
On September 4, FTGINSURE was the most traded stock on the NGX: 1.45 billion shares changed hands.
Sounds huge. At about ₦2 a share, that's ₦2.84 billion, under 4% of the ₦73.4 billion traded that day.
The day's highest value belonged to Seplat, a stock priced above ₦10,000.
Volume = how many shares traded.
Value = how much naira moved.
A ₦2 stock can top the volume chart while a five figure stock tops the value chart.
"Most active" isn't "most popular" or "best." Check which list you're reading.
Follow the naira, not the share count.
