every system designed to eliminate boredom is also a system for preventing you from generating new ideas
if you spend all your time doom scrolling then all your thoughts will be recombinations of other people's thoughts
boredom is the incubation chamber for original thought
I once bought a phone for a woman. I’ve only done it once. She didn’t even ask me to. She was a gifter. Doing these things isn’t a problem when you’re with a woman who likes you and reciprocates your energy.
Guys I have a weird habit of shortening people's names and calling it twice. Eg tell me your name is “Tamilore”. I call you “Tami Tam" or " Delight” and you're " Deli Deli”… 🌚🙂
Mr Eazi said he tried diesel supply business first and lost about N19M ($40,000) that he got as a loan at age 19, from his uncle. He failed at it, moved on to music, and it worked.
This Okoya’s son tried music, quit, and is now doing real estate.
When your background is solid enough that you’re not working for survival, failure can feel like a break and not something that breaks you.
You can fail, regroup, try something else, and keep moving because you have a safety net. The new thing you’re trying can still fail and you’ll still keep it moving. It’s not like the failure will render you homeless, make you go days without food, or empty your bank account.
For a child from a poor background, failure can be a completely different experience. One wrong move can set you back for years because there’s nothing to fall back on. You get hit hard for every failure. You lose something.
You’re not just losing money, you are losing time, opportunities, belief from people around you, and the ability to try again.
Same failure, but different consequences.
People’s realities are not the same.
"My money is my money and your money is our money."
When women say this, Nigerian men think they're joking.
It's on this same app we saw a woman who had money fail to pay for her child hospital bill whereas her husband was going up and down looking for money when his wife had more than a million in her account and eventually, her child died.
I bet you she never bought him anything while they were dating and he was the only one spending in the relationship but that wasn't enough red flag for him to leave her. Now bro is crying in the court on top of an ugly landwhale he married.
At the end of the day, I have no sympathy for men like this because it's very easy to know a selfish woman.
Every man should deal with the rubbish they settled for.
A man who ignores the signs will eventually see wonders.
The game might be brutal but it's still fair.
People have mad audacity. The conviction to consider yourself worthy enough to be able to command monthly subscriptions and money from men just for existing...... if I had this much confidence and audacity I'd have been living on the moon with my 2 dragons.
