Here’s something nobody talks about enough:
AI is supposed to make our work easier.
But why does using AI sometimes feel like another job?
One tab for research.
Another for writing.
And Another for planning.
Then you’re busy moving information between tools and trying to make everything work together.
What if you didn’t have to manage all of that?
Meet @annaos_ai. A thread 🧵
Nigerians are too emotional, and honestly, I hate that I’m part of this problem.
The most amount of times I’ve been cheated, used and taken advantage of were simply because I allowed my emotions to make decisions for me.
All someone needs to do is tell a sad story, shed a few tears, mention how life has dealt with them, and suddenly, everybody is donating, helping and defending them.
Even when the signs are right there.
We have become so emotionally attached to people’s struggles that we no longer know when to say NO and stand by it.
One of the reasons some people are making so much money on X is because they’ve mastered the art of telling sad stories.
They know exactly how to touch the emotional side of Nigerians.
And I’ve seen it happen.
I’ve come across people who received millions of naira in help from this platform not for their health, people whose situations I knew personally. And the truth? Some of the problems,they were crying about were consequences of their own decisions.
But you will never hear that part of the story.
No accountability. No admission of mistakes. No mention of the poor decisions that brought them there.
It’s always life, wicked people, bad luck and the government.
And please, don’t get me started on some marriage-related stories.
Why would you willingly enter a marriage without any source of income or financial plan and expect strangers on the internet to carry the responsibility of your decisions?
I’m not talking about women who lost their jobs after marriage, abusive marriages or people whose circumstances genuinely changed. That’s an entirely different conversation.
I’m talking about personal choices that people refuse to take responsibility for.
Listen, everybody has a sad story.
The moment you’re born Nigerian, life has probably dealt you its first blow. We are all fighting battles nobody knows about.
But at some point, we need to learn that having a difficult life doesn’t automatically make everyone responsible for fixing it.
Sometimes, compassion means helping someone.
Other times, wisdom means walking away.
I just hope your emotions don’t become the reason someone keeps taking advantage of you.
Because givers are getting tired, and honestly, I don’t blame them.
Not every sad story deserves your money. Not every struggling person is your responsibility. And not every person asking for help is telling you the whole truth.
Learn to have a heart without switching off your brain🧠.
