Happy birthday to Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah. In this picture, he stands with the renowned Islamic scholar— Sheikh Ibrahim Inyass of Senegal 🇸🇳. He was not just a spiritual guide to Dr Kwame Nkrumah but a good friend.
One mistake you should never make in this life is to allow yourself to be recruited, by someone, to hate another person who hasn't wronged you. Only a fool inherits other people's enemies as a sign of loyalty.
@realKwameOffei Motherland hasn't ever had the challenges of paucity of natural and human resources, but we are often plagued by mediocrity, maladministration and aggrandisement.
@realKwameOffei Nations across Africa has abundant resources and wealth what is needed is fiscal discipline and faithful men and women dedicated to national building to make their countries better
My deepest respect goes to the men building their lives with no safety net. No rich parents. No wealthy siblings. No powerful friends. Just him, waking up every day, figuring it out, carrying the pressure and refusing to quit.
I’ll never forgive the American media for pushing the narrative that Michael Jackson had a plastic surgery because he wanted to be white, when in reality he was dealing with vitiligo, a condition that changed his skin colour.
The older I get, the more I realize that one of the clearest signs someone truly cares is the time they make for you. Everyone is busy. Everyone has responsibilities and battles they're fighting.
Yet when someone consistently chooses to spend time with you, checks in on you, and makes room for you in their life, it means something. Time is the one thing we can never get back, and people don't give it away lightly
Isolate as much as you want to become stronger, even if you see that loneliness is an unbearable hell, it is much better than the multiple masks of humans.
If you see someone being interrupted in a conversation, acknowledge them, don't let them be pushed to the side. If you see someone lagging behind, walk beside them. If someone is being ignored, take the step to include them. Always remind people of their worth. It hurts when it feels like you're being forgotten. That small gesture can mean a lot.
Repeat after me: We do not beg to sit at tables we were not invited to. We do not chase people who exclude or ignore us.
We do not seek healing from those who hurt us. We do not sell ourselves out to get into someone's circle. We do not set ourselves on fire to keep others warm.
We create our own circle. We surround ourselves with only those who truly love, understand, and respect us. We learn where to express our energy. We remember our self-worth.
People who have a high spiritual intelligence don't just read words.
They read moods, they read energy, they read vibes and body language.
Their senses are supreme. They might not say much, but they notice everything.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, "Never play fair in a game where others cheat." It doesn't mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they'll throw dirt.
Sometimes wisdom is not revenge.
Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
