Because that’s about the only one we can get at the expense of nothing at least..
- Quality time ? - Bills still on us
- Words of affirmation ? - Feels like we’re begging for reassurance so we’ll rather not be labelled ‘insecure’
- Receiving gifts ? - From selfish ‘people’ that only want to be gifted ?
- Acts of service ? - Y’all call it ‘sl@very’ now.
So…
At the beginning of this year, I wanted to find out how much water I’d drink over six months and eventually, a full year.
So I made a conscious effort to keep every single bottle of water I finished, even the ones I drank while I was out. I’d put the empty bottles in my car and bring them home.
Six months later, I’ve gone through 55 pack and 660 bottles of 75cl Aquafina, that’s a total of 495 liters of water.
Not bad at all.🙂↔️💧
Smh, zero ball knowledge. Let her bring her wrapper that she’s been using for a while and has lost some thickness and let her tie it immediately she steps out of the bathroom.
Amu gi ga na eku ume, o ga adi ka ígwè.
You go dress up make you commot, she go come dey make minor adjustments for your face and pick small small things commot from your beards.
You go just dey casually gist am how project wey you dey do dey drain your funds, next thing you don receive heavy alert with caption “my own little contribution, please manage”.
Una go dey waka for public place, next thing she don grab your arm make she dey close to you.
You go commot like this, she go send you text ask you wetin you go like chop before you come back.
You go just dey house like this, next thing she don tie wrapper wey don lose something thickness dey waka for your front dey shake bumbum.
Your citizenship really determines so much for you. As a Nigerian, your matter long ooo.
I had a Saudi classmate when I was fling my Masters. He explained to me that all Saudis in the UK were fully sponsored by the government. I asked what his plan was after school, he said he was going back home to take up a job. He didn't even like the UK. I don't blame him, he struggled with the language and culture.
I had Korean classmates (those ones are always rich and clean). No one was staying back or had plan to.
I saw Chinese classmate 2 years later. He had started a business with his babe. He told me the government encourages them to take loan to invest abroad. I thought we were just having a discussion. I didn't know he had his plan mapped out.
My Spanish friend (the only one I still talk to), I asked him when he was going to pick up his British passport since he was eligible for it having been in UK for many years, he said he didnt need it that his passport takes him where he needs to go. I spoke to him recently and he said he is looking to leave the UK soon. He wants to return home to Barcelona. That reminds me, he has been inviting me to Barcelona 🤦♂️
At the start of Covid, my Canadain flatmate packed his bag and left. He told me he would finish his program from there. I once asked how he was paying for his program (Law Undergraduate), he said he took a loan from the bank in Canada.
Then you look at Nigerians- we are always looking for how to stay back at all cost because home offers nothing. Conversation always centred around sponsorship jobs - even if it is care job. This is after working 12 hours shift through out your Masters to pay for your fees and cover for your living expenses. People are even so desperate, they are paying 10k to 12k for sponsorship job just to stay back.
Ok. I'll be that girl who corrects you, because you all already hate me for speaking the truth anyways....
Most women actually desperately WANT to be that last lady holding the flowers. You've found a man who has game, experience and she's the LAST in that line, there's no one behind her. So he is loyal.
You're just trying to get back at men for doing the reverse of this because you're ashamed of your body count but the reality is that the same rules don't apply for men and women.
Sis to sis: stop lying to yourself.
If two people start a company and one contributes 90% of the capital while the other contributes just 10%, when the business starts struggling, who do you think is more likely to walk away first? Exactly, Now apply that same principle to your relationships
Interviewer: How much does your husband have to make to take care of a family of 5?
Her: We make over $200k combined.
Interviewer: So you split the bills on your household?
Her: Yeah. Everything is joint.
They have 3 kids and she is not using them as an excuse to be financially irresponsible to the home. Spotting family values is not rocket science
Life isn’t fair. Some have money but not health. Love but not children. Degrees but no job. Jobs but no peace.
The mistake is thinking someone’s life is perfect because you only see the part they’re winning in.
Everyone’s fighting something you can’t see. Be grateful for yours.
My friend said the happiness he gets from being married to his wife equates to the satisfaction people get from financial security when they look at their bank account. He is not even rich but he is very content and very happy. I've known him for over a decade and his financial situation has never affected his mood or relationship. Very decent fellow.
One day he was with me what she called his wife and told her he is feeling very generous and she should ask for anything. This woman said "popcorn" and he laughed. He told her that your husband is feeling generous and you are asking for popcorn. She said, "but that is what I want na. Buy me popcorn."
I just smiled and shook my head because I know many rich people who do not have what he has.
