I regret having premarital sex.
For many years, I didn’t think I would ever say those words. When I was younger, it didn’t look like something to regret. In fact, in the environment I grew up in, it almost felt like something to celebrate. Among my friends, experiences with women were treated like achievements. People compared stories, laughed about them, and sometimes even competed over them as if they were collecting trophies.
At that time, nobody talked about consequences. Nobody talked about the emotional weight those experiences could carry into the future. Nobody talked about what would happen when you eventually met the woman you truly loved.
Then I got married.
And that was when I began to understand something I wish someone had explained to me earlier.
You see, when you share that level of intimacy with multiple people before marriage, your mind sometimes carries memories you cannot easily erase. Moments that seemed harmless at the time suddenly become mental comparisons that you never asked for and never wanted.
There were times when I found myself battling thoughts I hated. Not because I didn’t love my wife—far from it. I loved her deeply. But I realized something painful: my past had introduced unnecessary struggles into something that was meant to be pure and peaceful.
My wife deserved better than that.
She deserved to be the only story in that area of my life. She deserved a man who was discovering everything about intimacy, connection, and vulnerability with her alone. Instead, I had to fight through memories that should never have existed in the first place.
And that is where the regret comes from.
Not because pleasure existed in the past, but because those choices followed me into my future.
People often think sexual discipline before marriage is just about rules or religious expectations. But I’ve come to realize it’s actually about something much deeper: it is about protecting the peace of your future marriage.
When you guard yourself before marriage, you are not just obeying a principle—you are preserving something beautiful for the person you will spend the rest of your life with.
You give them something rare in today’s world: a heart that has been kept, a mind that is free from comparisons, and a love story that begins with them and them alone.
Looking back now, if I could speak to my younger self, I would tell him this:
What feels like freedom today may become a burden tomorrow.
And what feels like restraint today may actually be the greatest gift you give to your future spouse.
Because the truth is, the greatest gift you can give the person you marry is not wealth, success, or even romance.
It is a heart that chose faithfulness before they ever arrived.

MEET THE NEWEST PROJECT MANAGER (PM)! 🚀
A few months ago, I reintroduced myself here as a Business Developer, and many have known me as that.
Now you’re probably wondering,
“Project management? How did we get here?”
Is he switching paths?
Is he confused?
Shocker: Oh yes, I mean it. 😎
Looking back now, I can see how everything led here.
It started with the Innovate’24 Conference, where I served as Assistant Team Lead for Speaker Management, coordinating a team and a line-up of amazing speakers.
Then came Innovate’25, where I led the same team, this time managing big voices like Mr.Awoshika @ebunayo08, @DesignChi, @wealthykween, Glory Praise, Mr. Enya and @its_mojeezy.
If you’ve never attended an Innovate conference, you might not understand how massive that is. Think Web3-scale events like those hosted in Dubai. Yeah, that big. 💥
Fast forward to today…
At The @the_ftldconcave, we’re graduating 23 students 🕺🤯
And guess who led the team behind this?
You guessed right. Me.
I never tied a name to it at first. I just kept hearing my boss, @GeeAkpan, say “Nonso’s Project, Nonso’s Project.”
And suddenly, it clicked. This is project management.
It’s been a beautiful journey. My very first shot at managing a full project, and I’m truly proud of what we’ve achieved.
For the past month, we gathered students as our manner is at @FTLDOfficial_ under the BUIDL101 Project, our beginner’s cohort designed to introduce newbies to digital skills and the Web3 ecosystem.
Tracks included Graphic Design, Video Editing, Content Creation, Community Management, Digital Marketing, and Web Development, all for FREE.
Over 100 registered, classes held both physically and virtually, and now we’re graduating 20+ builders ready to take on the digital world.
It’s big for me and not just because it’s my first PM role, but because of the incredible feedback and growth I’ve witnessed from these students.
To my boss and mentor, “The Chief Architect” @GeeAkpan, thank you for trusting me and constantly throwing challenges my way. I know it’s all part of the making.
To my amazing Tutors, thank you for letting me drag you, call you out, and still showing up to pour knowledge into these students. You all made this work. ❤️
I’ll be back with a proper shout-out, but for now let’s crown it all with the Graduation 🎓.
See you at The Concave by 11AM.
Yours Truly,
PM Nonso.
