I remember during my university days at Ekiti State University, I had a hostel mate whose parents had to struggle for months, sometimes starving to raise just ₦50K for his tuition.
Whenever he knocked on my door, I already knew it was to ask for garri. So I would often leave a bowl of garri at my doorstep for him. At one point, he drank garri so often that he vomited it.
Fast forward to now, on Sunday, he reached out to me from the United States. He is currently a Proffesor of Physics at Arkansas State University. He reflected on those difficult times, how I used to give him ₦30 for bike transport to and from lectures, how I would take him along to my girlfriend’s hostel so we could eat swallow, egusi spiced with sawa fish together, and how we would go to Ado Market to buy those ₦500 starchy shirts for both of us.
He remembered how I would wake him up for compulsory night classes in the cold Ado nights, and how, when he fell sick, I used my own tuition fee to pay his medical bills, then lied to my mother just to get another one.
He recounted everything… and then sent me ₦500K “to buy some green bottles.” And that’s just a fraction of what he has done for me in recent times.
Never look down on anyone. Today’s struggle can become tomorrow’s success story. I think kindness is an investment that never loses value.
okay this is one life hack i live by😂
bro the thing is, when someone say something towards you, they are either lying or saying the truth, if they are lying then you have no reason to get mad, if they are saying the truth why get mad because they are saying the truth?😂
thats why i never get mad when random people say stuff about my physical appearance, it’s either a lie or its true, either ways theres nothing to get mad about.😂
“you’re short” no im not short im 5’9 and you’re lying, thats literally taller than the average guy😂
“you’re ugly” no im not, i might not be the finest person ever but im more attractive than the average guy by far.😂
“ you’re a broke guy” ofc i am, its the truth you’re only reminding me of what im already aware of, is that supposed to hurt me?😂
“your belly is getting big you’re becoming fat” ofc it is, im aware i need to hit the gym😂😂
when people say hurtful stuff and you act hurt, they keep doing it cos they see it gets to you, be self aware today, start knowing what you are and what you’re not😂
A few weeks ago someone gave my husband moose meat
(Yeah google moose to see what the animal looks like).
Man brought it home and said we should try it. I told him there was no way my Nigerian tongue would caught near moose meat.
My husband decided to make stew with it. When he started frying it, I nearly puked. It had this distinct flavour that was so alien
For days I did not even want to use the same pot to cook.
So we just dumped it in the freezer. Oga kept begging me to cook moose meat. I said “nahhh fam”
Weirdly, my husband loved it and kept cooking it for himself. Another time he made stew and put his moose in one corner of the pot while I ate my regular chicken.
One tiny piece of moose found it’s way on top my rice. This time, it did not taste or smell as bad
Another time, another piece of moose entered my plate. Not only did it not taste bad, it actually tasted beefy to me
My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, guess who went to the freezer to use the remaining moose to make stew some days ago?
Yup, me!
And this is my way of reminding you dear child of God that when you keep allowing things that you know don’t please God around you, you’ll be amazed at how much you can adjust to start doing things you swore you would never do
Like me, you can go from being nauseated by moose meat one day and using it to make stew the next.
The command is to “flee”
Not adjust
Not tolerate
Not say cook your own one side and let me cook on the other side
The Bible says flee
Your no stronger than Samson o
Blessings!
This guy deserves a laptop, I went through his page back to a year. He’s been grinding with his phone.
If you have a laptop to give this guy, kindly DM me.
If you don’t have, kindly RT this post, someone on your TL might see this. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
