As someone who has always had a mind of her own and has never been a people pleaser. It's interesting to me to watch people expect me to rate them more than I rate myself. Or make them the main character of my life. What is missing in your life that you need me to suppress myself for to make you feel whole? Why does your wholeness come from my suppression?
I went on a date with this guy, and before we had even properly sat down, he immediately said, “Just so we’re on the same page, we’re paying for our own meals, okay?” Totally fine with me, I’ve never had a problem splitting the bill. But then things got interesting. When it was time to order, he spent forever studying the menu, checking the prices of practically everything before finally choosing one of the cheapest options. I, on the other hand, simply ordered what I actually wanted, an appetizer, a main course, and dessert. And that’s when his whole energy started to change. I could tell that every new thing I ordered bothered him. You know that look, part judgment, part silently calculating how much everything costs? Exactly that. When the check arrived, he even made sure to tell the server, “Please split it completely separately.” But the moment he realized my total was higher than his, he looked at me and said, “Wow… you really treated yourself, didn’t you?” I just stared at him and replied, “I thought we agreed we were each paying for our own food?” Silence. The entire mood changed immediately. And really, it was never about the money. It was about the attitude. Some people love preaching about independence and how “everyone should pay their own way”… until someone actually does exactly that in a way they don’t approve of. Then suddenly come the judgment, the little comments, and the uncomfortable tension.
the female body for some reason has tons of mechanisms to gain weight unrelated to consumption, the male body on the other hand has virtually none, meaning if you're fat as a man its entirely your own fault you hungry hungry hippo
I used to have a colleague who studied Petrochemical Engineering. We started at UBA together.
From operations in UBA, he moved to Union Bank as RM, then to First Bank as an RM.
He didn't spend up to a year at First Bank before he got an offer from NLNG.
The banking experience didn't stop him from getting into oil and gas.
If anything, it gave him commercial experience that made him more valuable.
A lot of people think accepting a job outside their field means they have given up on their dream. I don't see it that way.
A degree is one part of your story.
Your career is built on the skills you acquire, the problems you solve, and the results you deliver.
You can use all of that to get your dream job.
The woman some men fear the most is not the loud one. It is the woman who is content alone.
A woman in her 30s who is not begging for a husband does not fit the story they were told.
They cannot use age to scare her. They cannot use pressure to rush her. They cannot convince her that any man is better than no man.
That kind of confidence changes the whole conversation.
Daughters and their dads… ehn! 😂
I’m beginning to suspect my daughter thinks she’s the one who married me.
“Dad, you need a haircut.”
“Dad, you wore those shoes two days ago.”
“Dad, that tie doesn’t match.”
“Dad, when last did you buy new clothes?”
Meanwhile, my wife is just peacefully minding her business. 😄
At this rate, I’ll soon need my daughter’s approval before leaving the house.
“Dad, turn around… you’re not going anywhere dressed like that, you are not in the 80s.” 😂
I used to think I was raising a daughter.
Now I’m not so sure.
I think I’ve accidentally raised my personal fashion inspector. ❤️
Can we normalise having people over to play games like Scrabble, Monopoly, Jenga, chess, video games, and cards while we drink and cook?
Not clubbing and definitely not truth or dare!!!!
BRF was HIM.
So good, other state governors came to collect template and were emulating his initiatives and policies.
That Oshodi overnight revamp, buses having waste bins, quality of roads construction, sanitation, security via RRS, Bikemen+Helmets, Parks & Gardens Tree planting all over Lagos, healthcare service improvements were some of his highlights as a governor.
Proper Presidential material.
Sleeping together is not love
Talking 24/7 is not love
Going on Dates is not love
Love is someone seeing the absolute worst side of you & still loving you the same. It's someone making stuff happen for you when you can't. It's someone holding you & calming you down while you're pouring your eyes out. It's someone voicing all the good things about you when all you see is the bad.
It's someone making sure you're okay, someone praying for you every day & night. It's someone that makes you laugh/ smile when you feel down
Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
Update your partner. Not because they asked, but because they matter.
A quick text. A short call. A simple “I made it” or “I’m heading home.” These aren’t rules of a relationship. They’re acts of love. They say, “You’re on my mind and I want you to know.”

This is the last time I will say this here. I have seen many homes in Ajah are now for sale. If you know what is good for you and your generation, get a good surveyor, before you buy houses anywhere around Ajah.
If possible, use your bank to buy it. Let them do the due diligence for you.
I won’t say more than this.
