One thing Iβve realised recently isβ¦
A lot of people are earning more money now than they used to, but somehow still feel financially stuck.
And honestly, I think many of us can relate to that.
Ah-ah! π So the man must first pay offering before he qualifies to ask for your number,
even in church?? Ahh!!! π
β¦2,000 offering paid? Approved.
β¦500? Pending.
No offering? Application rejected. π
Biko, what exactly are we doing here? π
Since when did approaching a woman become a transaction where the man must first prove his wallet before he can even say hello?
So ladies entitlement has now gotten to church. Before it was eatery, shopping malls... now church???
I give up π
Wait ohβ¦ so the offering was the audition fee? ππ
Guy sits beside you, gives you βthe vibe,β service ends, he asks for your number, but because he didn't pay your offering, the application has been rejected? π
Biko, when did βCan I have your number?β start coming with a financial eligibility test?
Genuine question: is approaching someone now supposed to come with a sponsorship package?
The entitlement is getting out of hand oh ladies.
You earn β¦150K monthly. Your rent, food and transport consume β¦120K.
Then youβre wondering why you canβt save.
Youβre not bad at saving.
Your margin is too small.
If marriage benefits men more, why are the prayer groups, the night vigils, the βGod when?β posts, and the pastor counselling sessions 90% women?
Men donβt gather to beg heaven for a wife. Women do. That desperation is data.
He pays bride price, wedding, house, school fees, then dies first (in most cases) so she inherits. She keeps the kids, the title, and the story. He keeps the bills.
Youβre not describing an institution that favours men. Youβre describing one women fight harder to enter and fight harder to leave with the assets.
At 57, she didn't just change her face, she changed the conversation about how uncomfortable society has become with ageing.
There's something fascinating about how we've reached a point where looking your age is almost treated like a problem that needs fixing.
If she did this because it makes her feel good, that's her choice. But I can't help wondering: are we trying to defeat ageing, or have we simply become afraid of looking like we've lived?
