read more books this year, memoirs, documentaries, mystery, biographies, self help and edification books etc.

you really do not know what you are missing, your cue might be in those leaflets.. if you can’t do ebooks, or physical ones do audiobooks.

“end sars made them popular”
“he became popular because of chess”
“no one knew her songs before”

LOL. People of high value will shine when an opportunity meets something they have always had in them. No, you didn’t give them anything. What you see is who they already were.

“I heard Abshir preaching,through a loudspeaker.He preached that intimacy before marriage is forbidden.He talked about purity—purity in deed and thought—and said the remedy for forbidden thoughts is more prayer.
Afterward,he tried to kiss me”

Excerpt From
Infidel
Ayaan Hirsi Ali

[Ghana Reading Community @ghanareadingcom]

“Haweya had always been headstrong ... She refused to do household chores unless Mahad was made to do them,too knowing,of course,that that would never happen.When Ma did beat her, Haweya could just withdraw inside herself,as if she were immune to pain.”

“...but they were exciting—sexually exciting.And buried in all of these books was a message: women had a choice. Heroines fell in love, they fought off family obstacles and questions of wealth and status, and they married the man they chose.”
