You don’t need a title to make a difference. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You simply need a willing heart 🥳
From welcoming people at the door to serving behind the scenes, there’s a place for every person to play their part in building the church ✨
See you soon!
Back then in Nigeria, I remember telling my dad my salary in 2024. He said his gratuity when he retired wasn't even up to that. Then he asked me why I was still always without savings. I couldn't even understand.
Because I was earning almost 1.4m, and it was difficult to have savings. I thought I was reckless. I would always be mad at myself for being financially silly.
Now, I tell people that with 1.4m, in Paris, one of the most expensive cities to live, I pay my monthly rent, I feed, I do small social events, and I still send small things to my family and I can still keep almost 120k as savings.
It took travelling to a decent place for me to validate myself as not being financially reckless.
PS: My rent was annual o, yet I couldn't gather it effectively despite earning that amount.
I have a post where I estimated the most humane minimum wage for Nigerians (plus savings), and there was surprises on why I was so specific with the amount I suggested.
This is why I don't argue with Tinubu boys. They're a lost cause. My fight is with the Anti-Tinubu folks who want to give up easily. You can't afford to. There's so much possibility you are not experiencing.
Living in a Nigeria is unfair. It's very unfair.
Ladies and Gentlemen, they didn't say New Zealand or Canada o. GAMBIA!
Just 48hrs of blackout. But in a certain Giant of Africa, you hear things like:
"Live within your means"
"Buy Solar"
"Small Gen"
"It was there during PDP. It isn't new"
Who are you bringing to church this Sunday? 🥳 Tag them, send them this post and make the plan to bring them.
There’s a seat for you and everyone in your world 🫶🏻
📍Jupiter Hall, Four Points by Sheraton, VI 🕙 10am — 11:30am
Every week, people in our church say YES to serving. They welcome, prepare, pray, create, care and give their best so that others can encounter Jesus.
This weekend, we’re celebrating the people who make a difference by simply being willing to serve ✨
Men,
Have you ever bought yourself something small, then sat there staring at it like you stole from your own children?
You know that quiet voice that says, “Your mum needed that money more. Your siblings are struggling. Your wife would have used it better.”
If that voice lives in you, why does it still win even when you’re exhausted?
May the soul of Madam Dora Akunyili OFR continue to rest in peace. You were and always will be a force that cared about the lives of Nigerians, while risking yours to make sure we had good, real products. May the Almighty continue to grant your family strength to bear your loss everyday. 💕
