Dear married men,
I operate a one income household, & I am the sole provider of my lovely family.
You don't have to be like me.
It's a choice that me and my lovely wife made.
If you are operating a two income household, there is nothing wrong with it.
But please know that as your wife is growing financially and in her career, you too need to grow equally or more.
And even if she outgrows you financially (because you are not God), do not delegate your primary duties to her because of it.
And if the entire duties are too much for you to carry, make sure that you carry the responsibility of feeding the home and paying the rent.
She can take care of the rest if you're not able to.
What your wife and children would eat, and where they would live, are more important than what they wear and other things they need to survive.
Your wife would appreciate and respect you, even if she's supporting you in those other areas.
Do not dim her growth because you're afraid of what she may become.
Appreciate her, and show her that if you had more, you'd do more or all.
Do not feel entitled to it.
And always remember:
Keep telling her that you know that you're owing her.
Even if you don't pay back until you die.
End.
Dear young men,
Please, try to marry early.
Start small, but not empty.
A 60 year old man married at 38.
His wife is 54.
They have 5 children, and the oldest is 21, & not yet a graduate.
He walked away from his marriage due to frustration, lack of job, even when he's qualified.
His wife and children (asides the first child), have turned their backs on him.
Before he walked away, he wrote a suicide note. He stiii tries to provide for them, but he's tired.
The 3rd child just got admission to study medicine and surgery. There is no money, & he's now very suicidal because his responsibilities are weighing him down.
With a 54 year old estranged wife, & him being 60, you can tell that they're both aging and becoming weaker.
Clearly, he still has at least 10 years to train all his 5 children. Meaning, he would still be spending heavily even at 70.
When he should be a grandfather and resting. And his wife, a grandmother, and taking care of him.
I keep telling you all these, because you're always thinking that you want to make enough money before you marry.
You fail to see that age is a major factor in decision making towards marriage.
The average retirement age for a man is 60. After 60, you'll become tired and you may not have enough financial resources to shoulder your responsibilities.
The amount of children that you and your wife have decided to have, is also a major factor.
If you married late, please know that raising kids is a very expensive venture.
That you have money to feed them now that they're still toddlers, doesn't mean the money will keep coming.
And very few men will be rich or have good money after 50.
Marrying early, when you're still very productive, is a wise decision.
Making sure that you do not have many children when you marry late, is a wise decision.
The 60 year old man is tired. And the pressure and lack of respect from his estranged wife, and children have made it worse.
Do not say that you'll be an exception.
And I know that many of you experienced this while growing up under your parents.
Life became more difficult for your father when you were in secondary school, & going to the university was almost hopeless.
But for God who showed you mercy.
Everything requires planning.
I have two children with my wife, and I can afford to have more if I want.
However, I know that money may not always be there.
And I'm no longer a young man.
And I do not intend to make my kids suffer for my decisions.
I hope you understand me.
End.
I remember meeting a rich man’s daughter when I was in Law School. She told me her full name and said “You must know my father.” I said “No o. Did he say he knows me?” She never spoke to me again. 😂😂😂

I was in Nigeria a few months ago, and I genuinely couldn’t believe how fast @MTNNG data zapped.
When I called ‘em, they gave the most flimsy excuse I’ve ever heard - they told me the data zapped because other apps were running in the background.I laughed so hard I almost fell off the planet.
I work from home sometimes, my TV is almost never off, and all my devices are connected to my Shaw home internet, yet I don’t use 40GB in a month. Must we get less, be kicked in the ass, and be treated as slaves because we are Nigerians???
I tagged @bosuntijani at the time, well I was not surprised at his silence. Incompetence is as incompetence comes.
Anyways, here is my persoective - If 40GB could last me say a month before at N8K, how come it now lasts me for 3 days at over N15k??? If I bought one cup of gari at N1k last week, if it’s now N5k, at least I still get my 1 cup, no?
But no! not at MTN. My fam in this month alone has bought 20GB on the 4th, 7th, 10th, 14th, and 16th at total rate of N45k.
To think that the situation remains the same months after I left shows exactly why we are where we are as a country - nothing ever gets the attention it deserves for a change.
I wonder how our dear activists like @Peter4Nigeria and @p_oruche cope in that country.

How to treat your husband like the king that he is.
1) when he's leaving for work, you make sure he's well dressed, and you kiss his forehead saying...
"My darling husband, you'll go and come back in safe hands. I wish you a blessed day".
2) while he's having his bath, you
When Accountability Feels Like an Attack: An Open Letter to Tokunbo Wahab
Dear Mr. @tokunbo_wahab,
Honourable Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Lagos State,
1. I write this with measured restraint and a deep sense of civic duty.
2. Ordinarily, I would ignore the incessant stream of tweets and public nagging that you often issue in response to what are, frankly, legitimate concerns raised by residents of Lagos.
3. But your recent post, directed at @IgumaScott and cloaked in performative outrage, demands a reply—not because of its accuracy, but because silence in the face of such gaslighting can, over time, distort public perception and embolden historical revisionism.
4. Mr. Wahab, it is deeply insulting—and frankly exhausting—to see you repeatedly conflate honest criticism with “divisive agendas.” When Lagosians and Nigerians at large express their dissatisfaction over the filth and stench that have become synonymous with many parts of Lagos, they are not attacking Lagos—they are questioning your competence as the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources.
5. If Lagos smells and is dirty, it means you are failing at your job. No amount of poetic deflection or social media sermonising can cover that up.
6. Let’s be honest: Lagos is not some magical land that grants favours to migrants. It is a commercial hub, a port city, and a magnet for business—not because of your generosity or that of any other political figure, but because of geography and economic history.
7. People flock to Lagos not because they are desperate to live in Lagos, but because they need access to the sea—for their containers, their trade, their survival. That is not something anyone should be guilt-tripped for.
8. You speak of inclusivity, yet your tone reeks of condescension—as though anyone living in Lagos ought to be eternally grateful for simply existing within its boundaries.
9. Lagos is a Yoruba state, no doubt. But it is also a Nigerian city, constitutionally and economically. It thrives on the taxes, sweat, and enterprise of millions from across the federation. These people are not squatters; they are stakeholders. And yes, they have every right to hold you accountable—especially when you allow a global city to descend into environmental chaos.
10. If Lagos were truly the beacon of opportunity you claim, why haven’t the South West elites led a bold movement to go their separate way, to enjoy this so-called paradise in peace?
11. We all know the truth: despite all the talk of being the most educated region in Nigeria (a talking point reinforced tirelessly by the corrupt Lagos-Ibadan media), the South West establishment has never seriously pushed for secession.
12. And why? Because it knows the rest of Nigeria is its lifeblood—especially the East and South-South, whose commerce, creativity, and capital keep Lagos alive.
13. And speaking of the South-South—Warri Port, Calabar Port, Port Harcourt, and Onne—why do they remain underutilized, choked by bureaucracy and sabotage? Because certain vested interests fear that if those ports work, the East will rise economically and Lagos will lose its chokehold.
14. That is the real threat to Lagos—not migrants or critics, but the refusal of people like you to support a fairer economic structure that allows other regions to thrive.
15. Here’s a suggestion, Mr. Wahab: instead of using your office to tweet disdainfully at citizens, why not use your influence to champion the full activation of seaports in other regions? Do that, and you may just witness the “invaders” voluntarily leave Lagos for you.
16. Until then, kindly remember that anyone living and paying tax in Lagos has every right—by law, by citizenship, and by conscience—to call out environmental decay and systemic neglect.
17. You are not doing Nigerians a favour by “allowing” them to live in Lagos. Lagos is home to all who lawfully reside within it. And your job, sir, is not to lecture them—but to serve them.
Best wishes,
Preacher

@Naija_PR Wow comparing Niklaus – The Wild, Unpredictable Monster and Elijah – The Calm, Controlled Killer..
Niklaus is chaotic and unpredictable while
Elijah is extremely intimidating.
I will pick Elijah cause even Niklaus respects Elijah and I am sure there is a reason but both are mad
