“I played in Europe for 10yrs but didn’t make the amount of money I made in just 3yrs in China. It’s not always about who gets to Europe first or reaches the top stage first, it’s about how it all ends.”
— Odion Ighalo as praying for other players from the Ighalo Academy after 2 were set to travel after securing European contracts❤️🙏🏾
You can’t avoid enemies in this life, but always make sure you’re on the side of good. Some people will do everything possible to bring you down, no matter what it takes. Stay strong and don’t let their actions get to you. Keep praying for strength, wisdom and grace, and always wish everyone well. A good heart and God’s grace will take you further than anything else.
The key to saving the environment is not looking backward, it’s moving forward.
I realized this the first time I visited Italy twenty years ago. Everything was clean and green. The rivers sparkled. The lesson for me was obvious: the answer is not underdevelopment. The answer is progress.
When China was poor, the air was so polluted that people could barely see the blue sky. Today, blue skies have returned to their cities. Development does not only create wealth, it also provides the resources needed to restore and protect the environment.
Some environmentalists want us to preserve every aspect of our biodiversity, including the mosquitoes for example, so that researchers can fly in once every ten years from their universities (which build particle accelerators and billion-dollar laboratories with their pocket money), study our ecosystems, and count how many people died from dengue outbreaks.
They want to buy our air through carbon credits. If carbon credits were such a great deal, they would be selling them to us, not the other way around.
Cleaning every river, lake, and water source in El Salvador, and ensuring they remain clean and sparkling, would cost roughly $12 billion. Where is that money supposed to come from without economic development? Carbon credits?
The path forward for our country is the path of Japan and Singapore, not the path of the Congo.
autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics.
this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.
The things you do with baddies, you can't do with your wife.
Your wife won't lick some caviar off your balls. Ask Belfort from Wolf of Wall Street.
Alternatively, we can take a lesson from The Goodfellas. "Wives keep the empire looking legit; mistresses keep the party going."
Don't apologize when entering someone's DM. It is open for a reason.
If they respond, fine. If they don't respond, fine.
If they respond well, very good. If they don't respond well, leave them alone.
Social media is a forum for socialising. Everyone will not socialise with you and that is okay. Fuck with who fucks with you and who wants to fuck you
Stop apologizing.
There is something women do that I find funny.
When I am quiet or stare into nothingness, you ask what is on my mind. Madam, there is nothing on my mind.
I'm a quiet person and I easily drift into quietness. Do women understand it is okay to just want to be quiet in your own space? Everything is not an opportunity to gist for gist sake.
They never like my answer. They want gist. There is no gist and there is nothing only mind. Frankly, I actually do not like that question
Tiping your office security N1k for buying your lunch, is not you doing him a favour. He earned it. If e easy, stand up from your seat and go get the food yourself. Calculate the financial cost of the stress of going the distance to get the food and back.
If you want to do him a favour, give him money for no reason. Someone would do you a favour, but you would see yourslf as the one doing them a favour because you earn higher than them and don't respect them.
If you send money to your colleague that does the same work with you and asked them to please get you lunch on their way back from wherever they were going, you see it as them doing you a favour because you respect them. You don't see it as a favour done to you when it is done by the office security or cleaner because you don't respect them. If you treat these people well and respect them, they will be happy to do things for you. You've become entitled to their help that you now expect them to use their money to fund your lunch.
My security does errands for me, and every errand comes with a tip. That is thank you for doing this because it is not his job. Favour is when I give him money for no reason which happens often or when he has special needs and makes a request and I give him money. You need to start respecting people as human beings, not by how much they earn. This thing is a common problem in our society.
Sometimes, suffering is just suffering, it doesn’t shape you into someone stronger, it doesn’t forge wisdom or build any Yeye character, it simply strips, injures and breaks you.
And in those moments there are no hidden lessons or silver lining waiting to be uncovered… there is only pain… Real unromantic & irreversible pain…
Nayib Bukele just built the Greatest Hospital in South America called Hospital Rosales. It will Treat Citizens FREE. Total Cost Building + Furnishing $61m (N83billion)
Tinubu used N15 trillion to Build Coastal Road.
N15 trillion divided by N83 billion =
181 Hospitals 😢🙆🏽♂️💔
@officialABAT@realdaveumahi@SenGodswill you guys used money that could have built 181 world class hospitals in Nigeria to build One coastal Road From VI to Ogombo. Smh. You guys must be retired in 2027. The evil you Guys have done to Us is enough. ��🤬
