You should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say
By all means, have Principles and Standards.
I was really low on fuel today but I needed to go pick up my kids from school. I was just praying that the fuel just brings me home. I drove to pick them up in our way back the car stopped in the middle of the road.
Chai, my fears finally came true. I had given my wife all the money I had for house upkeep so I was literally on zeros. One of my clients that supposed to pay for a property on Monday has been delaying.
I didn’t even know what to do.
I called a friend of mine and told him my ordeal. He asked me where I was and I told him.
He didn’t say anything and he hung up.
I was there just contemplating what to do, I decided to call my wife to send me small cash but I couldn’t even leave my kids there to hunt for fuel, plus I didn’t have jerrycan in the car.
While contemplating I saw that my guy driving down. He came out with 5 liters of fuel in a Jerry can. You needed to see my relief. 😮💨
In this life, don’t do it alone. Have people you can call, and also be someone others can call upon.

Hadn’t seen my boyfriend in over a week, and when we finally sat down for dinner, he pulled out a piece of paper and said, “I’ve got so much tea to spill that I wrote it all down so I wouldn’t forget anything.” 😭😂
I’ve started appreciating days where nothing dramatic happens. no bad news, no stressful interactions, no overwhelming thoughts. just a normal, quiet day where everything is calm. those are the days that actually feel like rest.
I truly love the Holy Spirit so much. I love how he loves me, teaches me, orders my steps, corrects me, guides me. The more I get to know him, the more in awe I am.
I just found this prophetic bible verse🔥
Zechariah 10:1
"When the time comes for the blessing you need,ask for rain and i will send showers of blessings to your field abundanlty ."
Life isn't fair, and it doesn't care about you. It will hit you hard, again and again and again, without reason, without warning, and without mercy. You can do absolutely everything right; play by the rules, work hard, be a good person, and still lose. The only thing you control is yourself; your thoughts, your reactions, your choices.
@naijastreetlife Some people are often strong most times and don't show their emotions, when they finally show it in words it's best to know immediately they need us to show them how we care
My son was sitting near the window surrounded by books and scattered notes.
He looked slimmer than I remembered.
The moment he saw me, surprise crossed his face first…Then relief.
Neither of us spoke immediately.
I simply walked over and hugged him.
And somehow, in that silent moment, I understood everything.
He didn’t call because of an emergency.He called because life was becoming https://t.co/4A0uTLKpJ5 environment.Pressure.Responsibilities.And deep down, he just needed to feel connected to home again.
We spent the whole day together talking about ordinary things classes, routines, random stories but somehow those little conversations felt important.
I didn’t try to lecture him or solve every problem.I just listened.
Before I left, he smiled in a way I hadn’t seen in a long time.A genuine smile.Lighter.Peaceful.
On my flight back home, I kept thinking about something simple:
Sometimes people don’t need advice.Sometimes they don’t even know how to ask for help.
Sometimes your presence alone is enough to remind someone they are not carrying life by themselves ❤️
For f*ck sake. Be optimistic. Be extreme. Be relentless. The world is waiting for you to raise the bar and finally go all in. Execute. Inspire. Show us what’s possible.
I’ll never forget the day my guy randomly brought up period diapers in the middle of a conversation.
I burst out laughing. “Diapers? For adults? Abeg, what is this one again?” 😭
But he got serious and said, “Bro, you men really don’t know what some women go through on heavy flow days.”
That hit different because my girlfriend at the time was dealing with really heavy periods. I’d seen her struggling, but I didn’t fully get it until he explained.
The constant fear of leaking in public.
Waking up multiple times at night to check.
Sleeping in weird positions.
The cramps. The anxiety. The stress of wearing light clothes.
So I swallowed my pride and asked more questions.
Omo, the way my guy looked at me before relaxing when I told him what my girl was going through. His girlfriend immediately jumped in and explained how much those diapers actually help: the comfort, the freedom, no more constant worry.
That same day I went to the pharmacy, got a pack, and took it home. When I showed my girl, she was so teary-eyed. I told her let’s try it out, and the relief on her face was everything. She woke up the next morning without tapping me for help in the middle of the night. She said it was the first time in years she slept through without fear.
That moment humbled me.
As men, sometimes we joke about stuff because we don’t experience it. But when you actually listen, you realize how much women carry quietly. What I once thought was weird turned out to be something that gave someone I love real comfort and peace.
I realized how privileged I am when I went to pray to God and didn’t need to ask for a meal, for the healing of someone I love, for a roof over my head, or for a job to provide for myself. God has taken such good care of me and my family that all I can do is be grateful.
Highly recommend letting people know you're capable of madness from time to time. Especially if you're a quiet, soft spoken person. Disrespect sometimes needs to be met with disrespect.. let mfers know you can go from 0-100 real quick.
Because of my previous work, I've been to all 16 regions. Not just the capital towns but the remote parts. And I'm telling you, whatever level of poverty and underdevelopment you think Ghana is at, make it at least 20x. You have no idea.
I honestly cannot stress this enough but please start living & enjoying your life. Your life is passing by daily and all you’re doing is working, paying bills, & overthinking stuff you can’t change. Start taking trips and treating yourself. Have fun with this life. You only get 1
Women are so petty. I was having a conversation with my mum yesterday and i told her that men are not appreciated enough because we’re protectors and providers. She said ehnn, i said yes and she said okay. She called me today, i said mummy Good morning ma and she responded with “protector and provider how are you?”🤣🤣
