You can’t afford to be shy in a world where confidence always comes out on top.
Even if you’ve programmed yourself for years to always “stay in your lane” start acting like you own the place.
Walk with your head held high.
Talk slowly so others can write down what you say.
Live without regret.
You’re Him. So act like it.
Shyness is a result of believing that people's perception of you is more important than boldly being your authentic self.
If you're shy, you haven't sufficiently annihilated your ego.
Absolutely.
I was very shy at a young age, and it took several (painful) years with a Daoist master to realize it was all ego; a very nasty, twisted one.
It's actually one of the most devastating types of ego because it stops you from fulfilling your potential.
You can't get a girl you want, you can't make money, you can't make connections... You become useless, but in your mind, you think you are a special, delicate, misunderstood genius.
Let’s look at a few FACTS, comparing the JAPA life to the Nigeria life.
An average full time worker in Nigeria works a minimum of 40-50hrs per week and earns an average of ₦200K, while a JAPA student works a max of 20hrs per week and earns €800-1000.
I can use €20-30 to stock up groceries that will last me a week, but in Nigeria I will need a minimum of ₦100-150K for same.
I pay €49 monthly for my regional ticket that I use for train, tram, and bus around Austria, but a Nigerian will need 35-45% of his salary for transportation alone in a month.
I pay €78 monthly for health insurance that gives me access to same health care your President and Top men scamper to get abroad, but an average Nigerian can go bankrupt with just one health scare.
I can decide to take a walk around 2am midnight and not be scared of anything, but the average Nigerian can’t confidently move around in broad daylight without fear for his safety.
As a student I can travel to 29 countries without a VISA on a 3-day vacation and I won’t need to spend more than 15% of my income, but an average Nigerian can’t afford to go to Kenya 🇰🇪 for a 3-day vacation.
Let’s not talk about stable electricity, the quality of air I breathe here, the infrastructure, and all round quality of life.
Sometimes the cage is no longer around you; it is inside your mind.
You may have escaped poverty, failure, rejection, a difficult environment or a painful past, yet still carry their limitations everywhere you go.
The door may be open, but if your mind is still imprisoned, you will remain where you are.
Freedom is not just when the cage is opened.
Freedom is when you finally believe you can fly.
Sometimes, the biggest prison has no walls.
My both kidneys failed at 31.
I went through Dialysis three times a week. I was dying slowly.
They put me on the transplant list and said I might not last. One night after dialysis I could not stand the pain. I shouted to God until I had no voice left:
The next test before transplant showed my kidneys working again.
No dialysis since. It's been four years and they still work.
The specialist said he had never seen such a thing.
I gave the rest of my life to God.
I honestly don’t know how far this post will go, but I need to try.
I have ₦600,000 left to pay from a ₦1.8m debt that came from a business deal that went badly. I’ve already paid ₦1.2m, sold properties and sacrificed almost everything valuable I had to get to this point.
The ₦600k is due by Saturday, and my house rent is also due soon. I’m trying to raise about ₦1m to clear the debt, sort out my rent and get back on my feet.
I’m not asking anyone to give me ₦1m.
I’m asking you to patronize our business.
We deal in iPhones, laptops, UK-used gadgets, brand-new phones, active & non-active devices, game consoles, speakers and accessories.
For the next few days, I’m crashing our prices and forfeiting a large part of my profit to raise the money I need.
You will hardly find these offers anywhere else. Give me a chance to prove it.
📍 15, Adepele Street, Computer Village, Ikeja, Lagos.
Come into the store, inspect and test whatever you want before payment. We also deliver nationwide.
I’ll be posting the available gadgets and prices. If you need an iPhone, laptop, PS5, speaker, smartwatch, charger or any gadget, please consider buying from us.
And if you don’t need anything, please repost.
You may not be able to give me money, but your repost could put this in front of someone who needs what I sell.
I’m not looking for a handout.
I’m asking for an opportunity to sell.
Please patronize us.
Please refer someone.
Please repost.
Give me a chance to work my way out of this.
Thank you. 🙏
Worse thing you’d do to yourself as a Man is pause your life for anybody
Or allow someone/something hinder your growth-flow for whatever reason.
Just keep going..
Anything that doesn’t align with that purpose is a distraction
Ahead ahead!

This is relationship. This is partnership. This is marriage. E no go better for the nonsense you people are calling marriage in Nigeria
This is the video I talked about
See how easy and beautiful life is when you have a spouse that works with you for the betterment of your future TOGETHER.
If you like work yourself to death because "it's a man's job to be the sole provider" and "western culture cannot work in Nigeria".
When you die she will move on with her life after a year or two.
No it's not a Nollywood plot, it's real life.
the most underrated fact in neuroscience is that the brain physically grows new tissue in response to genuine curiosity. staying curious is not just a mindset. it is brain maintenance.
