Relationships have become insanely performative and social media has exacerbated it even more.
How can you make a post just last month about how you didn’t marry a loser, painting a picture perfect marriage only to turn around and say you were being abused in said marriage.
I learned this from a friend’s father who’s a millionaire.
He said, “When you start making money, don’t rush to buy everything you’ve always wanted. Live at least 30–40% below your means.”
If the money keeps coming at that rate, upgrade your life slowly. Little by little. Let your income become consistent before your lifestyle becomes expensive.
It’s called delayed gratification.
Stability first. Comfort later.
I once talked about how many people get tired of marriage because marriage is boring and many people can’t deal with boring. I got many backlash because “how dare you call marriage boring?” lol
You must understand that a beautiful life is a peaceful one, you don’t need something to always be happening for you to be ok, sometimes, just soak in the little things, live and enjoy the moment.
If you cannot just exist without something dramatic happening, staying married might be difficult
Except explicitly agreed upon, your masters do not revert to you from the label UNLESS you buy it back. It is not YOUR catalog if you did not pay for or facilitate the sessions.
Meanwhile, hope you no sign your publishing rights away as well? 😂😂😂
I know many people have refused to read or bother to know what the law says including young lawyers watching 30secs clips of some random white person talking about "yen yen ownership" etc.
Our copyright act is VERYYYYYY clear on who OWNS the sound recordings! She WHO FINANCES OWNS THE MASTERS. IT CAN EITHER BE THE FINANCIER DIRECTLY OR HE COMMISSIONS SOMEONE ON HER BEHALF. EXCEPT there's a contrary agreement.
Please let us all have sense.
Section 108 (1b) Copyright Act Of Nigeria 2022 Defines an Author (owner) Section 28 (1) 28.—"(1) Except as otherwise provided in an agreement, copyright
conferred by this Act, shall initially vest in the author." Of a Sound recording as follows:
"sound recording, means the person by whom the arrangements
for the making of the sound recording were made"
"sound recording” means the fixation of a sequence of sound capable of being perceived aurally and of being reproduced but does not include a
sound track, accompanying or incorporated in an audiovisual work ;"
For us to deviate from the legal provision and enter a realm of exception, there is a COMMERCIAL context of negotiation that is PURELY BASED ON LEVERAGE.
There is no economic context as to why i will give you masters that i am fully funding IF YOU HAVE KNOW PROVEN DATA THAT MY RISK IS MINIMIZED.
A major reason abuse thrives is because of silence. Especially silence from those you expect to know better & hold their person accountable. In-laws will keep silent. Siblings will turn the other way. All abusers should be called out, no peace for the wicked.
Many men will love the IDEA of you. Especially if you look good.
However, many of them will lack the capacity to deal with the depth of who you truly are within.
This is why attention from men means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
It's all about their true intentions for the REAL you!

It’s such a devastatingly strange experience, especially when the poverty hits in your early twenties?
You’re stuck with zero financial education, and thrust into a brutal system that feels alien.
The financial anxiety that haunts you afterwards <
