"They tell us to hate Igbos and never allow them to become President. Yet, it is our own northern brothers who are killing our people every day. And the same people that tell us to hate Igbos are the ones defending our killers.
Maybe it's time we focus on the real problems instead of being divided by ethnicity."
For more than ten years, I remember entering public transport with my girlfriend, carrying little but sharing everything. We counted coins, waited at bus-stops, dealt with Sapa, diligently applied ourselves, and dreamed quietly about what life could become. Time moved, seasons changed, and love stayed.
Today, she is my wife. We move in our car and in the back seat is our child as a living reminder of all those ordinary days that built this life.
We stayed, we fought, we worked, we laughed, we complained, and we believed. We didn’t allow anyone to steal what we had with money, influence or whatever it is they thought either of us could be stolen with.
In all honesty, it’s an experience that cannot be bought with money.
And when I look back, all it truly took was consideration and genuine desire.
Many times, love is enough when the parties concerned want it to be enough.
Still far from where we want to be, but we thank God for how far He’s brought us.

@TeeAdeogun@ennamdee Which part of it is nollywood? The part that any man who is overly stressing can have a stroke?
Or that "if the man carrying the entire bills have a stroke, the woman won't double up to meet up for her kids?
It's just as simple as the story says.
Let's help each other please
This odogwu mentality reminds me of my aunt’s husband, who had stroke in the US after years of carrying about 90% of the family responsibilities. Constant work and pressure led to high BP, and now he’s confined to a wheelchair.
As a result, things became extremely tough…and my aunt who rarely bothered about the house bills had to double her workload just to keep everything together. Unfortunately, she d!ed last year due to stress.
Husband’s health might not have deteriorated, and my aunt might still be alive, if they had both given their 100% from the beginning.
When one person carries a home, two people end up paying the price…it’s a matter of time.
See somebody that have sense.
Again, don’t let people from damaged homes and those desperate to validate their wickedness teach you nonsense about marriage.
At least, Mrs Awosika is married and she is a billionaire.
My millionaire friend snaked his way through the Crazy Lagos traffic.
He looked across the road at a popular rice spot. The time was 11 am and they had already sold out.
A girl was washing three big pots outside the shop, another one was cleaning out two big food coolers.
He nodded at them.
‘’It happens like that everyday’’. He said. ‘’11 am and they have sold out. Everyday’’
‘’Predictability’’. He continued. ‘’Build a business like that, first, before you go on to make money. It is a business like that that ensures you never go hungry while you chase your dreams’’.
‘’she knows, to a T, what she will make every day...and she makes it every day. Day in day out. She knows exactly how much she would save in a month...in two months....and three months from now’’
As we drove further down, we spotted Kilimanjaro eatery.
‘’She comes out before 7.30am, she doesn’t just sell food. She sells a bigger size of food to people going to work for less than they pay at Kilimanjaro. That is how she beats these ones’’ he added, nodding towards Kilimanjaro eatery. ‘’She carves out a niche, then creates a great offer for that niche that people need to buy daily’’.
He paused, thought about it for a while. Then continued.
‘’That is the formula for a predictable business. Carve out a niche, create an offer for that niche that they’d need to buy within a consistent period of time’’,
‘’Think DSTV....SPECTRANET....MTN Data....Work Station Food delivery service....’’
‘’If you can build a business like this, scale it & maintain it, such that you know exactly the number of customers you need to be profitable...and exactly how to get them consistently within the time it takes them to pay or buy....you will never need to worry about money again’’
She speaks and they listens💪
When a girl-child is well trained, prepared, bold, you can only imagine what impact she would make.
If you have a girl-child...
train her with love,
harness her gift,
build her confidence,
with the right platform, you will see what she becomes.

Turn the night vigil to night shifts !
After all what many go to do at night vigils is to pray for the fruits of night shifts. Don’t get it wrong, people will still go to Church but it’ll now be with more joy in their faces for the ground is now green.
May God answer this prayer 🙏🏽
