My mother told two people to email me their MSc dissertation so I could edit.

They had a 48 hour deadline🙂

I blocked them and almost blocked her too

I think it's really time we made serious changes to how we do things in Nigeria.

The reason kidney cases are increasing in Nigeria is a massive increase in hypertension and diabetes. We have crazy levels of these two diseases in Nigeria.

Another reason is constant bacterial or viral infections which cause inflammation of the kidneys.

A third reason is abuse of antibiotics and painkillers (paracetamol and ibuprofen) which weaken your kidney function over time and this happens a lot through self medication.

Fourth is fake medications, adulterated food (like the palm oil in my last post), fake drinks, constant drinking of unregulated herbal mixtures.

All of this means we need NAFDAC, we need serious awareness campaigns for people to do regular health checks, and our ministry of health needs to work with diagnostic centers and co to lower the costs. And selling certain meds without prescription should be banned.

And serious consequences should be visited on fake drug, adulterated food or drinks merchants. They are killing people.

TikTok wahala sha. That’s how my mum stumbled on my entire Lagos house on TikTok. Over 10 missed calls from my mum; I thought was the world about to end?

I have friends who are older and very fit because of their lifestyle. They don't drink or smoke and exercise daily. They also have the most unfit kids who don't follow their example. This has always worried me as I am raising young children. I have also seen families with hard-working and wealthy parents who raise the laziest and most entitled children.

We always want our children to do better than us, but when and where does this go wrong for most people? I think it comes from the time and attention we personally give our kids and the lapses we allow.

My wife and I are early risers. I have a particular sleep problem I am still trying to solve, but my kids can sleep all day on vacation if you let them. A friend with an older son who had just graduated and was back home, jobless, used to tell me how alarmed he was that the son would go out all night, come back early in the morning, and sleep all day.

I told him then that if he didn't force him to change that habit, he would remain jobless and stay with his parents longer. They eventually forced him to change, and he moved out. He has a job now and struggles a lot. His parents are concerned that he isn't thriving. He is now almost 30, and I think about this all the time. At 25, I was a beast and had started many businesses.

While we want our kids and young adults to experience life on their own terms in a world vastly different from the one we grew up in, we can't help but notice that others whose children were more disciplined are thriving better. One indicator I have seen that correlates with success in younger people is fitness.

A friend’s son started going to the gym regularly, and he even inspired his cousins to do so. I checked on LinkedIn recently, and he is doing exceptionally well as a lawyer and investment banker without any family connections or assistance. His younger cousins, who are looking up to him, are following in his footsteps. I decided to get my kids to spend more time with him.

The role models our children need may be closer to their age than ours. It is why we need to amplify the lifestyles of young, disciplined, and successful people more. Not every person will make it through creative pursuits. I stress this to my kids all the time. There are billions of YouTube channels, but there is only one MrBeast or IShowSpeed.

Social media is highlighting more unrealistic role models than the most useful ones. My daughter is likely one of the most intelligent young children that I know, but because she doesn't want to be seen as a nerd, she is adapting to popular culture to blend in, in a way that scares me. This sometimes affects the way she learns. While I don't want to restrict her now from experiencing the world, I have realized that she needs different role models.

My son’s role models are nerds, and he nerds out in ways that surprise me and it is also worrying. We can be watching a movie, and he goes online to research it and summarise the plot so he can leave to code. He is not experiencing life enough outside the internet.

They will either eventually be ok in a world very different from ours or struggle in a world that becomes worse than ours, without the skills to build personal resilience and strong social skills.

I recently had a personal experience that made me realize I was fortunate to have left home early and to have different role models from my parents. Having a broken home led to different outcomes for my siblings and me, but the fact that I had strong personalities like my mother’s uncle and the uncles I grew up around helped me learn a lot more about life and priorities.

The world is a very complex place, and life is not a bed of roses. While we want the best outcomes for our kids, we have to finally admit that they will learn far more from others than they will ever learn from us. The best thing we can do for them is expose them to the right kind of people early enough, then hope and pray that we didn't misread those people.

I really don’t like being around ppl with competitive personalities. Like relax & act normal 😂🥴

A gift of discernment is wild because you can have zero evidence on what is going on, but you still know what is really going on

the way life continues after someone dies is one of the most humbling and frightening realities.

[Reechmilly @Reechmilly]

You cannot humble me… my confidence was not built from compliments.

[Leo Dasilva @SirLeoBDasilva]

I can’t even succumb to the weight of anyone’s expectations and you should never.
I watched my parents lives and succumbing to please a lot of people was all for nothing.
People they sacrificed for moved on swiftly and continue living their lives normally like they never existed.
People will make you think that your life must be a certain way but don’t let them control that, life’s too short.
Let everyone do their worst lol.

An intelligent man knows that every person who tried to dim his light was simply revealing how much darkness they were living in.

They don’t respect you when you’re humble

Dangote was adjusting his fuel price in real time when it was rallying but now dragging feet to adjust now that’s it’s on a downward spiral. If you like keep kissing the ass of these billionaires who are doing all they possibly can to impoverish you. A lot of you kuku no get sense.
