Your girlfriend's parents want to celebrate their wedding anniversary, and her mother is calling you to bring half of the money for the event.

Not only that, your so called girlfriend is defending her mother for her shameful request.

And you think that you have found your wife?

You're a fool!

End.

Disney offered 13-year-old Jason Weaver $2 million to sing as Simba in 'The Lion King's "I Just Can't Wait to Be King"

Weaver's mom rejected the deal and instead signed a $100,000 + royalties deal instead

Weaver now at 47-years-old has earned between $4 million to $7 million

[Ella @EllasArchive1]

My boyfriend accidentally sent me $7,500.

At least, that’s what he told me.

It happened on a Friday afternoon.

My phone buzzed.

$7,500 received.

I stared at the notification.

Then I called him.

“Did you just send me $7,500?”

He went silent.

Then said:

“Oh my God.”

“What?”

“I sent it to the wrong account.”

I laughed.

“Wrong account?”

“Yes. I was transferring money to my savings account.”

I looked at the screen again.

“Well, congratulations. Your savings account is apparently my account now.”

He wasn’t laughing.

“Please don’t touch it. I’m going to reverse it.”

I agreed.

But the money didn’t disappear.

Instead, I started getting messages from the bank.

The transfer was already completed.

Then my boyfriend called again.

“Please, I need you to send it back.”

I said:

“Of course.”

Then I asked:

“Why are you saving $7,500?”

He paused.

“For something important.”

“What?”

He wouldn’t tell me.

I thought he was planning a surprise.

Until that evening, when he showed up at my apartment.

And he wasn’t smiling.

PART 2 — Trapped inside La Cueva for 15 days.

The only exit was blocked… yet he somehow survived and was eventually found alive.

[Àgbà John Doe (back up) @jon_d_doee]

Men are often told to look at a woman's beauty, character, family background and values before marriage.

I agree with that, but I want to also add another to it.

I would add something much simpler:

Look at what time she gets out of bed.

Yes, seriously!

A woman's morning routine can tell you a lot about the kind of wife you may be bringing into your home.

If every morning is a battle with the alarm clock, if she routinely sleeps away productive hours, if she has nowhere to be but still struggles to get herself moving, don't dismiss it simply because you are in love.

Pay attention.

Marriage is built in ordinary moments, not wedding pictures.

Eventually there will be responsibilities.

There may be children.

There may be school runs, business obligations, work, meals, appointments and unexpected problems.

The character required to manage those responsibilities doesn't suddenly appear after marriage.

You marry the habits that already exist.

So when I say a man should notice whether a woman wakes up early, I am not talking about whether the magical number is 5:00 or 6:30.

I am talking about what her morning reveals:

Discipline, initiative, responsibility, productivity and CONSISTENCY.

I had to capitalize consistency because women know how to pretend.

So do not get carried away by her short display of the idea of the wife that you need.

She needs to be consistent about her routine.

Because if it was something that she is used to right from childhood, it will be part of her character.

And her mother should play a major role in that.

Those things matter in a wife.

Before you put a ring on her finger, stop looking only at how she behaves when you take her out.

Look at how she lives when nobody is watching.

And this is why I keep emphasizing on cohabiting before marriage.

Her everyday routine may tell you far more about your future marriage than the version of herself she presents on a date.

AJD.

[Chino @ChinoUTD]

🚨 Jose Mourinho on Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola comparisons:

“Someone asked me this question before and I said, ‘Before I answer, tell me something. Where are we starting Alex Ferguson’s career?’

She said, ‘Manchester United.’

I said, ‘No, no. Then already we have a problem.’

People talk about Ferguson and immediately they see Old Trafford. The trophies, Cantona, Beckham, Cristiano, Rooney, the Champions League.

I see Aberdeen first.

This is a man who went into Scotland when Celtic and Rangers were supposed to own everything.

He wins the league with Aberdeen.

Then he does it again.

And again.

Then apparently dominating Scotland with Aberdeen wasn’t difficult enough, so he goes into Europe.

Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid in the final.

European trophy.

Then the Super Cup.

I remember once joking with him, ‘Mister, you could have retired before Manchester United and still spent the rest of your life telling everybody you were a very good manager.’

He laughed and said something like, ‘I would’ve been bored.’

That tells you everything about him.

Because then he goes to Manchester United.

And people speak today as if he arrived at the Manchester United we all know now.

No.

They hadn’t won the league for 26 years.

So this man had already disturbed the natural order in one country, came to another country and apparently decided the natural order there needed disturbing too.

Thirteen league titles later, now everybody remembers United as the giant.

That is the funny thing about football.

Sometimes a manager becomes so successful that people eventually use the size of the club he helped build as an argument against what he achieved there.

So if you ask me to choose?

I remember Aberdeen.

Because before Ferguson had Manchester United, Manchester United had to go and find Ferguson.

And they found him in Scotland with a European trophy he’d just taken off Real Madrid.

For me, that changes the conversation completely.”

[Àgbà John Doe (back up) @jon_d_doee]

And that is why women will always say:

"Did I force you to marry me? You saw me like this & you chose to marry me. Deal with your decision"

A woman will never blame herself for getting married to you.

She'll blame you for choosing to marry her.

Even if she's a bad wife.

AJD.

[Àgbà John Doe (back up) @jon_d_doee]

So I had further conversations with him and I have transcribed it exactly the way we chatted.

Please read carefully 👇.

Me: Did this happen yesterday or today?

Me: And have you left the country already?

Him: He arrived last night… but he called me this morning to say he was back, so I immediately took the opportunity to make an appointment to see him at his father's place.

Him: No, I said I was considering it… I have to plan my trip and everything, but I definitely intend to leave the country.

Me: Has the girl tried to reach out to you?

Him: Not for the moment.

Me: Alright

Me: You have done noble

Me: Your conscience is now free.

Me: If your friend still decides to marry her, no one will blame you.

Me: But I doubt his father will approve of it.

Him: I feel more relaxed, and if you'll allow me to be honest, I wanted to tell you something.

Him: The girl in question was right about the friend in question; he is extremely irresponsible for his age, and I doubt he will ever be in a healthy relationship.

Him: Anyway, it's not my problem anymore… that's their business. I did what was necessary; it's up to him to take his destiny into his own hands.

Me: Alright.

Him: I went to pay my respects at my father's grave… and I asked him for forgiveness… I wept bitterly.

Him: I wonder if they will ever forgive me.

Me: Give it time.

Me: But even if they do, do not trust your friend with your secrets anymore.

Me: That ship has sailed.

Him: I don't think we'll see each other again; after all, he can rebuild his life with any woman, seeing as he's rich.

Him: Ok

Him: I’m going to start a new life in a faraway country—but in Africa, in a place with a zest for life and a soothing atmosphere. I’m thinking of countries like Senegal, Cape Verde, South Africa, Ghana, Namibia, and so on.

Me: Cool, but forget south Africa.

Him: I asked you a question, but you didn't answer—either you didn't read it, or I didn't express myself clearly. Back when I was hanging out with my ex-best friend, I always wondered why rich kids had issues with women.

Him: You might find my question childish, but it's just an observation.

Me: Let me ask you a question. Have you ever felt jealous of him?

Him: Haha, I get it—I might opt for a neighboring French-speaking country.

Him: To be honest, yes… he’s had everything handed to him since childhood.

Me: So is this why you decided to sleep with his fiancée?

Him: To be honest, yes.

Me: I see.

Me: So let me advise you.
It's good that you came clean to him and his father. But you were still wrong. Yes, he may have some attitude that puts you off or make ladies treat him badly. But you have no right to judge him. And you have no right to be jealous of him. Your envy has caused you your job, their trust and your peace. This is a very bad trait to have as a man.

Him: But apart from the fling I had with his girlfriend… I never physically hurt him… on the contrary, I always protected him when he was in trouble.

Me: You don't need to physically hurt him. Sleeping with his woman is more than enough hurt.

Him: Okay, understood.

Him: You are right

Me: So do better and teach your future son this lesson.

Him: All right

AJD.

[Àgbà John Doe (back up) @jon_d_doee]

The man who slept with his best friend’s fiancée has finally faced them.

His friend just got back from Europe.

He didn’t hide.

He didn’t run first.

He went to the father’s house and asked to sit with both of them.

He apologised.

Thanked them for years of treating him like family. Then he put the messages and the recordings on the table.

They listened.

They understood what had happened between him and his best friend's fiancée.

His friend lost it and lunged at him.

He didn’t fight back.

The father and the staff pulled them apart.

He told his friend he wasn’t expecting forgiveness and that he would leave the company. He also said he wanted him to know the whole truth, and what kind of woman she had shown herself to be.

Then he knelt and asked the father for forgiveness. He told the old man that he had treated him like a second son, and he had repaid that by stabbing his only son in the back.

The father listened, then told him to leave his house.

He left without another word.

After that, he has decided to change his number and decided to leave the country to start all over.

When he told his mother she broke down. She still blessed him and said she would pray for him, and that he needed to seek God’s mercy for what he had done.

That last part hit him harder than the punch that never landed.

Not just because he betrayed a friend, he also broke the trust of a man who raised him like his own son.

He came to me and I advised him.

He took the advice and he went and faced them like a man.

He showed the evidence.

He didn’t fight back.

He left the house when he was told to leave. Now he has to pack his life and move on.

That’s how you carry shame.

You don’t argue it.

You don’t dress it.

You own it, learn from it, face the consequences and keep moving.

AJD.

[Coldfire @cold_fire7]

My wife kept using the restroom in a train we boarded to Beijing and she wouldn’t tell me why.

Not once.

Not twice.

Every twenty minutes.

She would stand, squeeze my knee, and whisper, “I’ll be right back.”

Then the door at the end of the train would slide shut.

I asked after the third time.

She smiled too quickly.

“Just the tea,” she said. “It runs through me.”

We had not bought tea.

By the sixth time the attendant started watching her too.

I followed her on the seventh.

Stood outside the narrow door and waited.

When it opened she almost walked into my chest.

Her eyes were red…

This woman has rejected feminism after having a son and finally seeing what it’s done to how we view men.

I’ve had a father and brother who showed me what masculinity, protection and traditional family roles actually look like, so I’ve never needed to have a son to understand it. I feel sorry for women who grew up without that example and now mistake the absence of masculine men for progress.

Feminism didn’t just challenge inequality. It deconstructed traditional femininity, masculinity and gender roles. And that has consequences.

[Avril Amaka @avrilamaka]

Ok. I'll be that girl who corrects you, because you all already hate me for speaking the truth anyways....

Most women actually desperately WANT to be that last lady holding the flowers. You've found a man who has game, experience and she's the LAST in that line, there's no one behind her. So he is loyal.

You're just trying to get back at men for doing the reverse of this because you're ashamed of your body count but the reality is that the same rules don't apply for men and women.

Sis to sis: stop lying to yourself.

I'm now 31. I can't work as a graduate trainee in most banks or Fintech in Nigeria due to age.

Their criteria is always;
> below 27
> NYSC certificate
>2.1
> atleasg 1yr experience

But if I manage to stay alive till 75yrs, when my brain cells will need more sleep then I'll be more than qualified to be the president of Nigeria that will determine the existence of any bank or industry in the country.
A single Policy made by President Tinubu on May 29th 2023 threw over 30million people below poverty line.

He doesn't have a first class.
He didn't go to any university.
He's not young.

But he's qualified to rule Nigeria because the criteria to rule Nigerians is to be dubious and incompetent.

Make it make sense

We designed a system to have the best in Private sectors and the worst in Politics running the Affairs of the entire nation.

Do you think the dignity of a woman and that of a man are defined the same.

Oh! You're still in the delusion of equally men and women.

You'll learn the hard way.

It's a hard-knock life.

[High Voltage⚡ @holymantis]

@Confydens6 Why do most of you sound surprised?

These things are not new. They've been around for almost 2 decades. I knew about this in the year 2015 when I went for a health programme in Lagos. I was in my 200L then. I was given some & other sexual health items that I took back to campus.
