A word of advise to those who care to listen:
If you are the kind that is already having mental health issues, prone to depression or easily plunged into a state of deep gloom, the UK is not a place for you. The JAPA syndrome should not concern you if you do not want to make matters worse for yourself.
Here in Nigeria, there is still a sense of family and togetherness. You can still find people to share your sorrows with and laugh off shege with fellow shegelites.
Over there in the Western world, it is your shege your business. Your inner shege will consume you and rehab yapa for there.
Your near depression state here will surely be completed when you move over there. Not all open doors of opportunities should you walk through as some lead to the abyss and however bad your situation is, be careful how you decide, it can always be worse.
So, like last year when i dropped this update that has taken a lot of people out of the country already as the success rate was high. I am bringing you all the opportunity AGAIN this year.
Many of you here have been quietly planning to leave Nigeria. Most of you have been working on this plan for 18, 20, sometimes 24 months. The visa isn't the problem. The money isn't the problem.
What's holding the plan together by a thread is IELTS.
And it's not because IELTS is unusually hard. It's because most candidates prepare without ever knowing if they're actually ready.
They keep watching videos, doing past questions, downloading materials. But they can't honestly answer the most important question: what would I score tomorrow?
If that describes where you are, there's a 4-Week IELTS Exam Ready Masterclass starting 15th of June, built to close that gap.
Sharing this to help someone, everyone quietly working on their plan.

I was in a hospital to visit a neighbor who just suddenly collapsed a few days ago. I was in the waiting area, sitting and watching people come and go. The place smelled of fear and hope mixed together. You could literally touch the pain on people’s faces.
I noticed a man standing near the nurses’ desk begging. I watched him wipe his tears a couple of times. His voice was low, but fear enveloped him. His wife lay on the waiting couch, weak.
I watched him step aside and sit down. He buried his face in his palms. I walked up to him and asked what the problem was. At first, he did not want to talk. Shame held his mouth. But a man who is desperately in need couldn't hold his pride.
Their daughter, a 12 year old, had medical complications. The hospital had tried to stabilize her but without money, they wouldn't go further. But the bill was beyond them. They have been there for 2 days with no treatment. Everyone they called promised to call back but no one did. He had tried everything. He had nothing left.
The wife was lying beside him, holding her small phone tightly, staring at the floor. You could tell life had pressed her very hard. She kept whispering prayers under her breath.
At this point, I was moved in tears. I have had a similar experience in the past where I watched a loved one giving up because we couldn't pay the hospital bill. Everything started playing back into my head.
I stared at him for a while and I asked him a simple question: "Do you believe in miracles?" I watched him mutter words. He couldn't reply to me. Then he began to cry. This time loudly. I held his hand and said, "let's go and see the nurse." He had thought I wanted to join him to beg.
I cleared the bill.
And then he announced to the wife what just happened. It was a delight to see her screamed for joy. She ran to me, held my hand and cried like a child. She kept saying "God bless you" in a voice that was almost gone.
I got a call from them last night to inform me their daughter has been discharged from the hospital, hale and fine. Now imagine what joy has filled my soul.
Dear readers, as I type this, my mind is still running through what I saw in that hospital. This family was just one case out of many. If you can, visit the hospitals around you once in a while. There are patients dying because they can't afford as little as the money you spend on frivolities in a day. If you're able to save one person, you save a family.
Another perfect day to clear up some common misconceptions.
Listen:
1. You don't NEED antibiotics when you have a cold.
2. You CANNOT shift anybody's womb. You cannot even reach it. Don't be stupid.
3. Diabetes is NOT caused by adding too much sugar to your garri.
4. For the last time, Typhoid is NOT malaria and malaria is not Tyforce. Stop diagnosing yourself of typhoid everytime you are ill or have a fever or stomach upset.
5. Hypertension ISN'T caused just by too much thinking.
6. You CANNOT "flush" ur system of illness by "pissing all the sickness away". They LIED to you..6. Your body doesn't need daily supplements. Just eat normally and healthy.
7. You do not need a special kind of tea to flush your system. You are not a public toilet.
8. Putting spoon in a person's mouth during a convulsion will NOT stop ANY convulsion.
9. Taking "Hampicloss" after sexual intercourse will NOT protect you from sexually transmitted infections or pregnancy.
10. Stop the daily douching and stop washing your vaginas with antiseptics. You are only exposing yourself to infections.
Oh... and this one is very important:
Slimming tea CANNOT remove all that fat. It will only make you purge till you are dehydrated (if you are very religious with it) and land you in the accident and emergency of the nearest teaching hospital to you. Go to a Gym, work out and DIET!
Pass it on if you care.
Excellent question. Now read carefully:
Because
1. We humans don’t realize that LOVE in its true form is not INDULGENCE. Our definition of love is indulgence and tolerating every nonsense. That is not love. Love in its true form can be very ruthless and strict when necessary, especially for the good of the person involved.
2. Human beings don’t really know their Creator and who He is. The Almighty Father is both LOVE and EXECUTIVE JUSTICE in one. Do you know what the Sword of Justice does to transgressors against Its Will?
3. If a human father can out of love for his son, discipline him like he wants to murder him cos that is what is necessary for that child so that he doesn’t end up like the guy that was murdered at UNIBEN maningate yesterday and a human Master can pass his students through the harshest and most ruthless training out of love for them, how much more YOUR CREATOR before Whom love is not loving enough and purity itself is not pure enough and before Whom our good deeds are as dirty rags?
Despite the fact that he is Love, you should remember that He is also Executive Justice Itself. “Vengeance if mine, i shall repay” is no empty saying.
Where Justice is delivered out of Love, it is NOT to punish but to straighten and make you better. In Justice is Love and in Love, Justice resides. They are interconnected.
He who doesn’t fear the Almighty, knows him not and most human beings DON’T know Him, even though they think they do.
For when you really know Him, you would fear Him as much as you would Love Him.
Five random but helpful facts:
1. You don’t lack time, you lack PRIORITIES
2. Rest is not laziness, it is STRATEGY
3. You are not behind in life. You are just comparing your chapter 2 to someone’s Chapter 20.
4. You cannot heal in the same place that broke you.
5. Comfort is the most expensive addiction.
