@ChuksEricE Half of the time you will find out that it’s what they called ‘weaponised underemployment’ that the men in this situation do… so when the women feel overburdened and unfairly exploited, they react 🙄
Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center!
Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more.
Tickets available at https://t.co/ahkDMKalIn.
My cousin has been in Canada for six years.
Every month, money lands in my aunt's account.
School fees, house rent, his younger ones' upkeep.
Everybody calls him the family's blessing.
He called last Christmas.
Laughing and asking about everyone.
He sounded fine.
I asked: "How are you doing over there?"
He said: "I'm managing. Canada is good o."
He visited two years ago. We killed a goat.
The whole family came out.
He was smiling in every photo.
Nobody noticed he had lost weight.
I noticed. But I didn't say anything.
I thought maybe it was the cold.
Last month, his friend called my aunt.
Said my cousin had not been eating well.
That some months he sends everything and keeps nothing.
That he cries sometimes. Alone at night.
That he had been doing this for years.
My aunt was quiet for a long time.
Then she said:
"But he never said anything."
...
Well, he never said anything.
Because nobody ever asked beyond "how is Canada?"
“Tinubu And His Government Have Failed Nigerians. It Is Sad That Criminality Has Been Allowed To Thrive In Nigeria Without Any Consequences. It Is Heartbreaking That In a Country Like Nigeria Today, Killings Are Happening Across The Nation. I Find It Really Sad That In 2026, With All The Technology At Our Disposal, Insurgency, Insecurity, Kidnapping, And Banditry Are Still Thriving. Make It Make Sense To Me.” ~ Lasisi Elenu
Men are trying to lift the vehicle off her body. Women are throwing their bodies on the ground and crying. Being emotional at a time you should be proactive. War and Security are not meant for women to participate in. They are not built to secure lives at all. 💔
Avoid People Who Always Have a Problem for Every Solution
In life, challenges are inevitable, but progress depends on our mindset and the company we keep. Some individuals, instead of focusing on possibilities, consistently find reasons why things cannot work. They resist change, magnify obstacles, and discourage action. Being around such negativity can drain your energy, weaken your confidence, and slow your growth.
Constructive thinking is different from blind optimism. It acknowledges difficulties but searches for practical ways forward. People with a solution-oriented mindset inspire creativity, resilience, and progress. They ask, “How can this be done?” rather than declaring, “This will never work.”
If you surround yourself with people who see problems in every idea, you may begin to doubt your own potential. Over time, this mindset can limit opportunities and kill innovation. Protect your vision by choosing associations that encourage progress, accountability, and positive thinking.
Growth thrives in an environment where challenges are seen as stepping stones, not roadblocks. Stay close to those who bring ideas, not excuses because the right mindset turns problems into possibilities.
I’ve been in Rwanda for a few days now and something wild hit me:
You hardly hear church noise.
You hardly see churches everywhere.
Why?
Over 6,000 churches were shut down for abusing faith.
And before you become a pastor here, you need a theology degree.
“God is calling you” is not enough.
You can’t turn people’s faith into business here.
The argument isn't just that Nigerians are passive—it’s that they have weaponized "Resilience" as a psychological trap.
In most parts of the world, resilience means the ability to recover from a blow.
In the Nigerian context, it has been mutated into the ability to absorb abuse indefinitely.
The critics of the walk-off are the same people who wait in 10-hour fuel queues without a murmur.
To them, the proper way to handle an unfair referee (or an unfair government) is to endure it until the final whistle and then complain in private.
There is a pathetic obsession with behaving well for an international audience that doesn't actually care.
The Moroccan team was rattled because someone finally refused to follow the script.
Nigerians hate that because it reminds them of the scripts they follow every day.
Nigeria is a nation built on legalisms rather than convictions.
We value the process of looking civilized over the result of being free.
A walk-off is uncivilized. A protest is disorderly.
Consequently, the only "acceptable" form of progress is one that is signed, sealed, and delivered by the very powers that are oppressing you.
The reason the potato can't understand rocket physics is that the potato’s entire existence is based on staying buried.
To a culture that views submission as a spiritual duty, defiance looks like madness.
The critics aren't actually upset that the team walked off; they are terrified of the precedent.
If a football team can decide the terms of their engagement, then perhaps the average citizen can too.
And that level of responsibility is a burden most would rather leave for God.
