Kid: okay. Daddy why did you leave me?
Me: But I didn’t leave you nau

How do I explain to him that it’s “left” this time
You need to see the joy on olodos' faces when a very academically sound person doesn't succeed in life. They relish it. It's almost as if it gives them more reasons to talk down on education and intelligence.
When we were graduating, after I finished as the top student in my class, many of my coursemates were really eager to see how I would turn out. In fact, I would always hear them gossiping: "No be by Best Graduating Student. To make am for life no be by acada. Street na military. We go see."
I'm glad I turned out really well. Even most of those who went to Ghana for "updates" after school and eventually resorted to fraud can't measure up to my accomplishments. Till today, many of them still randomly call me and jokingly ask, "Senior man, you just dey chop dey go. You no wan give men update na!"
Deep down, they genuinely believe I must be secretly involved in fraud. This is the society we live in, where many young people have come to believe that you can't succeed legitimately, and that every young man who is doing well for himself must be involved in fraud. Even many elderly people and police officers aren't exempt from this line of thinking.
I haven't seen a country that is trying so hard to make education unattractive like ours.
"School na scam."
"No be by BSc. You get BTC?"
"Education is the key to success. Oya, use the key start Benz na 😂."
"Lecturer pack 1999 Camry, student don pack Lexus beside am."
If we continue this way, in a few years, there will be nothing left of our educational system. We are so money-centred that we don't even realize education can be an end in itself and not necessarily just a means to an end.
Everything has become, "How much do you have in your account?" or "Use your intelligence buy Benz na."
This is one of the reasons it really hurts me to see highly intelligent and brilliant people end up poor. I'm always rooting for academically sound people to succeed because I genuinely want people, especially young people, to see that you can make it legitimately through hard work and academic excellence.
Any society where only the olodos become financially successful while the brighter minds, the ones who believe in due process, continue to struggle is a society that is bound to fail.
i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.

Pain of an unemployed person :
• You wake up late, but still feel tired
• Every day feels the same
• You apply for jobs daily, no replies
• Phone notifications give hope, then nothing
• Family keeps asking “Any update?”
• Friends slowly stop calling
• You start avoiding people
• Money feels tight all the time
• You feel guilty even while resting
• Confidence slowly goes down
• You start doubting yourself
• Skills are there, opportunity is not
• Motivation comes and goes
• Nights are full of overthinking
• You feel stuck and helpless
• You are trying, but no one sees it
Being unemployed is not laziness.
It’s mental pressure no one understands.
Nigeria makes my job as a novelist incredibly difficult because it is always seven steps ahead of my imagination and so immune to satire, irony, or farce by the sheer ridiculousness of its inventions.
Many Nigerians would stop buying during the day and wait for night....a country with high concentration of low quality humans.....like how chicken republic staff started hoarding the good chicken pieces cos they were allowed to take home leftovers....
The biggest skill you can develop is the ability to reset fast.
Bad conversation? Move on.
Bad day? Start fresh tomorrow.
Missed workout? Hit it the next day.
Poor decision? Learn and adjust.
You can't control what happens to you, but you control how long you let it affect you.
I tried explaining this to someone before, but it never quite landed. Maybe this video will make it clearer. Learn to guard your soul carefully. Be intentional about what you allow in.
WHAT ICU NURSES KNOW ABOUT THE LAST HOURS OF LIFE THAT FAMILIES ARE NEVER PREPARED FOR:
1. Hearing is the last sense to go. Many patients can hear everything being said in the room long after they appear unconscious. Nurses know this. Most families do not act like it.
2. The body does not shut down all at once. It withdraws blood and oxygen from the extremities first, working inward toward the heart. The cold hands and feet you notice are the body making a final decision about what to protect.
3. A sudden, unexpected improvement in energy and alertness hours before death is not a good sign. Nurses recognize it immediately. Families almost always mistake it for recovery.
4. The sound called the death rattle is not pain. It is simply the throat relaxing and losing muscle control. But no amount of medical explanation prepares a family for hearing it for the first time.
5. Most people do not die during the night. The body has a biological rhythm and many deaths occur in the early hours of morning, between 3am and 5am, when the nervous system is at its lowest.
6. Patients often wait. Nurses have watched people hold on for days until a specific person arrives, or a specific word is spoken, or permission is quietly given to let go. It happens too consistently to be coincidence.
7. The words "we did everything we could" are sometimes true and sometimes the most painful half-truth a family will ever receive without knowing it.
8. Families who are not present at the moment of death carry guilt that no counselor fully resolves. Nurses see this guilt begin forming in real time and cannot always stop it.
9. The face relaxes completely at the moment of death in a way that is impossible to describe until you have seen it. Nurses say it looks like the person finally put something down they had been carrying for a very long time.
10. Many ICU nurses privately believe that the most painful deaths are not the ones with the most physical suffering. They are the ones where the patient dies surrounded by family members who are fighting with each other.
11. The thing families almost never say, but almost always should, is simply this: it is okay to go. Those four words, spoken out loud, do something that medicine cannot explain and nurses have witnessed more times than they can count.
12. Nurses grieve too. They learn the names, the histories, the family dynamics, and the small personal details of every patient. They cry in break rooms, in parking lots, and on drives home. Then they walk back in the next morning and do it all over again, because someone has to, and they chose to be that person.
1. If you can, skip to the last stage of grief (acceptance) and accept that you have fallen off. That is your first reality check.
2. In your desperation to bounce back, you’ll take careless risks and make terrible decisions that will send you into a bottom pit. There is no rock bottom; things can always get worse if you don’t tread with caution.
3. Don’t be ashamed to share your struggles with your friends. They know that you were up before. Anyone can go to zero; you are not special. Ask for help.
4. Take it one day at a time. When you are at rock bottom, your goal is to survive first. Don’t be in a haste to bounce back.
5. Stop chasing your previous high. You lost your savings to a failed investment? Let it go. Start building from scratch like you have never handled bulk money before.
6. Decline every invitation. Don’t be shy to tell people no. Yes, you used to be generous before, but life is dealing with you for now. Adjust and isolate.
7. Ghost everyone except your close friends. You need to stay away from people until you are up enough to start networking again.
8. There is absolutely nothing you cannot recover from. No matter how bad things are now, hang in there; everything will be okay. It gets better with time and serious grinding.
9. Ask for updates. Don’t be shy to ask your friends or acquaintances to put you on (legal hustle). Your friends that are getting it, be humble enough to learn from them. What your mates are doing, follow dem do.
10. Some days it will look like you are bouncing back; two days later, you are back at rock bottom. Bouncing back is not linear; be patient with yourself.
11. Take any job, business, or decent gig and hustle that can at least pay your basic bills until your big breakthrough. Pride won’t pay your bills.
12. Don’t be too comfortable in your new reality. Every day you wake up, put in the work to get out of that phase. As cliché as it sounds, it is true— a moving man will eventually meet his luck.
13. Sad boys and girls will smile again, I promise you. Don’t you ever give up on yourself. You did it before; you can do it again.
