“There’s no image to protect if little kids are being kidnapped” — Singer Davido defends wearing pins for Oyo kidnapped children at the 2026 World Cup event.
This is really commendable.
May God bless Davido for lending his voice to speak for those kids.
Southeast is taking their kids to international competitions,
The southwest is insisting that frying akara and selling kuli-kuli is what the youths should thrive towards,
The north is sponsoring mass weddings & pilgrimage.
We will be here to witness the results from each region in a few years.
Kudos, Alex. God bless! 🙌
🚨 Leo Messi: “Thanks to this team and these teammates, I can be at another World Cup today and I can keep competing”.
“I know they make an extra effort so that I can keep competing and they do it from the heart because they truly feel it”.
I bookmarked this to respond later. Here you go.
I remember how I felt when I made my first 5K naira salary - it was the same feeling I had when I made my first 7 figure.
One of the first concepts I mastered was the art of "Joy Regardless".
I couldn't wait until everything makes sense, before I decided to be happy. That mindset have remained consistent throughout my journey.
And about your question? If I could have imagined my current reality then? Guy yes.
I always told my friends: "My chances of making it are higher than my chances of finding love"
I believe in myself die - and I don't allow the variable of brilliance delude me from the necessity of consistently deepening capacity.
Post NYSC, when I was struggling in the dirt of dirts. 20K teaching job with 3 tutorial hustles.
I would come back every evening, wear my nicest shirt and walk into a car shop - pockets empty.
"I like the rims on this one, do you have the color in black?"
"Hmmm. The price isn't bad. Can I see the BMW equivalent?"
I'd do this from car shop to car shop. Not because I wanted to waste their time, swimming in delusion or had nothing better to do with my time but I understood the power of visualization.
Sportsmen use it all the time.
You see bah, you stay long in a particular situation - your system starts to normalize it. You start to figure out how to "manage".
" 20K salary abi. Well, if I see like 50K own. I'll just try and walk 2km instead of entering bus"
This is worse than comfort zone because there's no iota of comfort and you're slowly conditioning yourself to optimize it as your new normal.
I found ways to constantly put fire in mybosom.
To make your dreams nightmares, and your living daylight daydreams. Visualization helps you to see what is possible.
It doesn't have to be with cars, but it has to be with variables incredibly beyond your reach at the moment.
You'll never be big. You'll never grow. You'll never breakforth - if your mind hasn't first conceived the possibility of that future.
Don't let your mind condition what's supposed to be a bus stop for you, become a final destination.
The reason I relate well with people of all classes and financial background is that, I've since understood that money is just a tool. It does not represent or define our humanity. I figured this out as a child. It is not late for you to come to terms.
Everyone has their reason for wanting to be rich. I'm a simple man. I just want to leave a legacy of giving people a better life than the one they had before I met them - with primary focus on education and health care.
If I make the kind of money I'm looking for, I'll add foreign masters to it. Good education is the only way to create a mental shift, give dignity to people, give people options, and a chance to compete for their place in this world. A perfect weapon to build a country
She works. He works. Her whole income goes into the home, just like his. He has learnt to send her money for no reason because she no dey ask. She invest her salary in the home. Sometimes, he would tease her "come, you know you have a husband abi? You can just tell me what we need to buy" and she would laugh and say "but I can afford it. Am I not working?"
Just 2 people fully devoted and committed to each other. No "my money is my money"
My friend said the happiness he gets from being married to his wife equates to the satisfaction people get from financial security when they look at their bank account. He is not even rich but he is very content and very happy. I've known him for over a decade and his financial situation has never affected his mood or relationship. Very decent fellow.
One day he was with me what she called his wife and told her he is feeling very generous and she should ask for anything. This woman said "popcorn" and he laughed. He told her that your husband is feeling generous and you are asking for popcorn. She said, "but that is what I want na. Buy me popcorn."
I just smiled and shook my head because I know many rich people who do not have what he has.
The whole ycee conversation wasn't about Peller but about a systemic degradation of our education.
I would expect everyone arguing, dropping think pieces & setting camera to have picked up on that.
No surprise that the uprisen olodos are proving the point of olodo uprising.
What’s sad is that you don’t even realize you’re the problem.
Someone came to you to vent about a major expense they just incurred, and your first thought was ‘how can I add to their expenses?’
"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive att@ck on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidn@ppings and Bøko Haram att@cks."
