It is really about contentment and the fact that I've never attached happiness to money. I even find more happiness giving it away to help somebody. The only reason I want to be rich is to have enough to help people. My very close friends know this but don't take advantage of me. My family do too but they don't take advantage either.
My mom once called me and asked if I had savings and I asked why. She said "because I know all my children. You're always giving." Then she said "sometimes, say No, even if is coming from me. Everybody will be alright."
It was even my brother that taught me how to spend my money on myself. I always had this fear of splurging on myself. I rather save it or help somebody.

It confuses people sometimes because of my stance on marriage where I'm bent on both parties investing all their money in the home. I mean , I could just carry the bills since I like giving out money to help people. But it is not about money. It is about commitment. If her money is not being invested in the family and on me, her heart will not be there. It is just logic
I want to see a new Nigerian artiste who isn't trying to sing their way out of poverty but is just trying to make excellent music, for the pure love of it.
Idk if I'm explaining my point well.
Music that has no hustle or money anxiety inflected into it.
Might be wishful but I need it.

You must know that when you start winning, accumulation of successes changes not just you but people around you. And most times, envy, undertone jealousy and insincere praises are intertwined when you ascend than others within your environs.
And that’s why it’s important to swiftly change your location when you start to win big. Why because people will see you as a mirror that reflects their own complacency.
Documenté esto en la Final del Mundial.
Los jugadores argentinos recibieron su medalla del segundo lugar y se marchaban a su camerino, tal como lo hizo Francia en 2022. Messi, el primero, se detiene frente a su gente. Acompaña el resto. Ahí el capitán argentino empieza a llorar. El contexto no es que le dieron la espalda a España, se quedaron de frente a su afición que no paraban de ovacionarlos, especialmente a Messi. En las redes se saca todo de contexto muy fácilmente.
Lionel Messi!!!
What a phenomenal human being. I really can't fathom how God works. Especially, when I'm watching Messi play. It's a great privilege to be alive at this time and era.

I have chatted with Ori extensively on the vision for OffDeal, and he is an incredible mentor to work under
Dear young men,
Especially those of you between the ages of 27-33 and are still single.
This is how you know that you may have found your wife:
1. She's highly interested in what you do legitimately for a living, actively trying to encourage you to build your career or business, and always looking out for other opportunities for you.
2. If you live alone, she takes initiatives without being told by observing your home and trying to buy things she knows you need to live a better life in preparation for marriage.
3. She will hardly ask you for money, not because she doesn't need it, but because it's easy for her to get money from other men. And she knows that taking money from other men is an "invitation to treat", and can destroy her relationship with you. And she wouldn't want to make you feel that she's with you for your money, too.
4. When you give her money to do certain things, either for you or for her, she'll try to give you an account of how she spent the money.
5. She keeps boundaries with your friends and doesn't try to compare you with them. Rather, she would look out for that friend whom she observes has your best interests at heart, and encourage you to stay close to him.
6. She will not use sex as a weapon in the relationship, neither would she use it as a bargaining chip.
7. She actively gives you updates on how her day went, and she doesn't come to your house with her phone on silent mode or airplane mode.
8. She will try to abide by how you like her to dress, and she'll listen to you when you caution her about certain behavior that you do not like.
9. She'll actively want you to know her siblings and show interest in and respect for your siblings as well.
10. She'll not hold back if you ask her to lend you money, if she has it. But you, the man, must keep to your words when paying her back.
11. She'll bend many rules for you, but you should not take undue advantage of it.
12. She'll stress you sometimes, and test you in as many ways as possible. She's doing all that to see how well you can lead her, and how well you can control your emotions or anger.
13. She'll make mistakes. But you should use it as a teaching moment for her. If you don't judge her too harshly, she'll start to listen to you more. When you make a woman trust you with her vulnerability, she'll overlook some of your excesses.
14. She'll actively seek your validation and yours alone; whatever you say is good for her, she will accept it. And she won't care what the world says or feels about her.
15. She will not force you to be religious, but she will actively observe whether you respect God, because a man without God may not be a good leader.
If you have a lady that can do at least 10 out of the 15, you may have found your wife.
And remember, when you choose your wife, you have chosen your destiny.
End.
Had this conversation with a friend today. Nigeria's problem isn't colonialism, neo-colonialism or any sort of foreign influence
Our problem is greed and absence of emphaty.
This is directed at those Pan-Africanists who somehow believe that colonialism, despite having ended over fifty years ago, remains the principal reason Africa is still underdeveloped, rather than the greed, the deep-seated greed and wickedness, that has taken root in the hearts of far too many of those entrusted with its future. It is also directed at those Afro-Americans who believe their lives are still chiefly defined by slavery that ended centuries ago, and who continue to demand reparations for an injustice they did not themselves directly experience.
As a man, when the options present & it is time for you to choose a partner, I hope you choose the soft babe.
The one whose consistent demeanor is '🥹'
The one gentle in expression, kind in communication & non combative.
Leave komodo dragons alone for animal control.
I recommend using absence to gain your respect back.
I recommend giving a girl your number instead of asking for hers. If she likes you, she will text you.
I recommend building your body, especially your shoulders. You'd be surprised how much more attractive you look with a better frame.
I recommend putting people in their place at the very first sign of disrespect.
I recommend not chasing people. Pay attention to who chooses you.
I recommend leaving rooms where you constantly have to prove your worth.
I recommend being honest from the beginning. Pretending is exhausting.
I recommend saving money before people know you're making money.
I recommend letting people underestimate you.
I recommend taking pictures and videos of your parents more often.
