'If you were in a coma, who is going to sit beside your bed holding your hand day after day till you wake up? Who is going to brush your teeth, make your hair, clean you up and celebrate your birthdays.

When you find the answer, you'll know where to put more effort.'

When you clock age 40 (dawn of old age) the stages of grief hit you - denial, anger, bargaining, depression... It was only yesterday l was in my 20s looking fit, slim and with full hair. By the time you reach the acceptance stage, you're 49yrs & 364days. #EmbraceTheJourney

The reason why Nigeria is the way it is? At independence, our founding fathers - Awolowo, Azikiwe, Balewa and Bello - were deeply suspicious and resentful of one another. Rather than cooperate, it was matter of I-better-pass-my-nebor. Tribalism will eventually consume us.

Sharing a cab with Indian course mates. Our driver,who is from Pakistan, is quite friendly, even singing in Hindi. But you get the feeling the Indian dudes are using bombastic side eyes to regard him. Am l safe? It's all cruise and vibes here.

Ahmadu Bello remains the most influential politician that ever liveth in Nigeria. He put in place policies that still resonate till this day. Muhammadu Buhari would strongly agree with me.

Naija recuriters rank education over experience. This is why ones degree is placed above the career section on a CV.

Irony is a career & skills are the dividends of academics.

And if you manage to land a brilliant career without a formal education, then you're the real MVP.

To the unborn, pray you get parents who start planning for every stage of your life, preferably one laden with opportunities, months or even years before you are born. Nothing beats soft landing.

Nigeria will rob you of your youth, then your pensions.

[Muiz @muizonthegram]

This country’s biggest crime is that it steals your youth from you. You don’t even realize how old you are as a 26/27 year old until you travel and realize that your agemates in proper countries started families 3 or 4 years ago. But you’re there at that age to start school.

@ndukaorjinmo Maybe we will move to the Governor General system of government next, complete with a Prime Minister and Parliament.

[Artful Dodger @Irums2]

Whosoever finds themselves here, whether in 2024 or beyond, notwithstanding if it was on purpose or by accident, l wish you all the love, happiness, success, and peace that life has to offer. God bless you.
