I asked several divorced men that I work with:
"When did you realise a woman is for keeps?"
This this is what they said,
-If a woman calls you baby, darling, babu, love, it means nothing.
-If a woman gets intimate with you, it means nothing.
-If a woman marries you, it means nothing.
-If a woman becomes the mother of your child, it means nothing.
-If she is doing things for you, it means nothing.
-If she disconnects from all the social media platforms for you, it means nothing.
If she respects you when life gets hard, if she stands beside you when things are heavy and ready to build a world with you, then she means everything.
Stay flexible enough to receive. You have not met all the friends life has for you. You haven't touched or tasted all the abundance the world has for you.
Don’t ever think it can’t happen to you. Nobody is rich enough to escape life’s pressure.
Pray you never face a problem bigger than your account balance.
Stay humble. Stay prepared.
Whenever someone starts a statement or an argument with,
"Me as a doctor"
"Me as a professor"
"Me as a lawyer"
"Me as a journalist"
"Me as an expert"
Whatever the person is going to say next is bulshit and to gaslight you.
Don't even respond.
There is no right way. No perfect time. No perfect path. Some people find themselves at 20. Some at 40. Some never. But the ones who live the fullest lives... are the ones who stopped asking for directions. And started trusting their own instincts. Do it your way. Slow or fast. Loud or quiet. Conventional or not. Nobody cares. Nobody. Just make sure it feels like you. That's the only thing that matters in the end.
Avoid arguing with people who choose to misunderstand you. Some don’t want clarity, they just want a conflict.
Explaining yourself to them is wasted energy.
Guess who is opposing Dangote’s proposal to build a 1.2M barrels a day refinery in east Africa (Tanzania, Kenya and Congo)
World Bank and IMF. : )))
Their argument? it would give monopoly to one company over energy.
1) All the while, French refineries are in almost every oil producing countries in Africa.
2) No African countries could get a loan to build a refinery larger than 400,000 barrels per day (one of the most profitable businesses ever). So the majority are small and struggle for profitability.
3) Nigeria oil had to be exported to Europe, refined and in many cases sold back to Nigeria and ECOWAS countries, under companies like shell and total.
4) it took until a billionaire financed the refinery in Nigeria himself to change part of that production and supply pipeline. And today, after the Hormuz blockade, EU countries are now buying oil from Dangote.
The person that you become in 5 years will depend on:
- The people you spend time with today.
- The conversation you have today.
- The choices you make today.
- The books you read today.
- The food you eat today.
Make the right choices every single day.
Stop saying you love yourself while letting toxic people destroy your mental health. That is not self-care; that is self-destruction.
Most people come to drain, take, and leave. They don't invest in you, and you are wasting your time and effort. Cut off toxic people if you truly love yourself. Now.
Congratulations to Sabastian Sawe on an historic run, and to everyone taking part in the London Marathon today.
A huge effort from thousands of participants, volunteers and supporters from right across the country.
I trended in Nigeria, South Africa, USA and Europe for a week because of this tweet.
I was insulted properly.
My account got shadowbanned and blue badge removed.
I tweeted with courage, calling out degenerates and feminists.
This was 5 years ago!
Today you have it easy.
A woman leaving you because of struggles is understandable there’s no glory in suffering together. But trying to win that same woman back after you become financially stable is mental illness
Major cheat code for life: Learn to delay your reaction. Anger, fear, and impulse will try to make you move fast. There's power in pausing. In the pause, you see clearly, you respond wisely, and you avoid decisions you’ll regret. Slow down to speed up.
The other night I was invited out for a night with the
"girls." I told my husband that I would be home by midnight, "I promise!" Well, the hours passed and the margaritas went down way too easily. Around 3 a.m., a bit loaded, I headed for home. Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times.
Quickly, realising my husband would probably wake up, I cuckooed another 9 times. I was really proud of myself for coming up with such a quick-witted solution, in order to escape a possible conflict with him. (Even when totally smashed... 3 cuckoos plus 9
cuckoos totals 12 cuckoos = MIDNIGHT!)
The next morning my husband asked me what time I got in, I told him "MIDNIGHT"... he didn't seem pissed off in the least. Whew, I got away with that one! Then he said "We need a new cuckoo clock." When I asked him why, he said, "Well, last night our clock cuckooed three times, then said "oh shit" Cuckooed 4 more times, cleared its throat, cuckooed another three times, giggled, cuckooed twice more, and then tripped over the coffee table and farted.
