Dear @guzu_p.
I have thought about writing this for a while.
The day I saw your quote tweet, I was in meeting. Like most people would, I opened the notification to see what happened. I read your post and my first reaction was confusion.
I immediately started asking myself questions
“Did I do something wrong “?
“Have I offended hime before “?
I checked my timeline repeatedly, trying to understand what led to that moment, the more i search, the less I found. I couldn’t point to anything that justified the attention I was receiving.
But I remain silent.
Not because I didn’t see them.
I sat quietly and asked for Wisdom.
I keep asking myself, how do i respond,
Instead of joining the noise, I choose silence.
People who had never heard of me before suddenly knew my name.
People discovered my work.
People saw my craft.
People met the woman behind the brand.
As a shoemaker trying to build something meaningful, visibility is not something I take for granted. Many talented people work tirelessly everyday and never get seen.
Thank you for introducing my work to people who may never have come across my page otherwise.
Life has taught me that blessings do not always arrive wrapped the way we expect sometimes, they come disguise as challenges. Sometimes they come through unexpected people.
May we all continue to grow, learn and make room for wisdom in moment when emotions could easily take over.
With Gratitude.
Victory.
The thing about her is her natural beauty. Despite always dressing like a senior man, you can always spot that feminine side of her.
No makeup, no filter, no eyelashes, no wig. Just natural! Something uncommon with the average Nigerian woman.
She doesn't have to dress half naked to be beautiful.
She doesn't have to show her cleavage to make sales.
She doesn't have to do too much to be noticed.
All she's about is the legitimate work that pays her and consistently pushing her hustle.
If a financially stable man marries her tomorrow and open a bigger business for her, you just know she'll make it a success in no time because a woman who can effectively manage a small business will definitely make a larger one a bigger success.
You just know she's a virgin with no frontal lobe.
Your wife won’t let you sniff cocaine line off her ass crack.
Won’t agree to an orgy with the boys.
Won’t let you piss in her mouth.
And that’s just the beginning 😂🤷🏿♂️
@Muriel_UTD @T0SINB0I@Wizarab10 No bro, if na me I no go buy because the person can actually reject the food in a way of punishing you for not being able to add up and buy the drink.
Are you always this foolish or just a terrible human being? This classism in Nigeria is why we can't move forward.
In your high mindedness and desperate brownnosing to your colleague, you actually thinks she does him a favour giving him N1k tip for sending him on errands. It is not his duty to get her lunch. She can as well get up and go get the lunch herself. Why would you expect a security guy to use his money to buy your drink? That N1k is not a favour. It is payment for service rendered. If you actually had respect people regardless of their position, you won't be spilling this nonsense.
If your colleague is foolish, must you be foolish too? Abi all of you are stupid in your organization? Your responses all over the comments gets more annoying and embarrassing as if you dropped your brain somewhere. You are an extremely very terrible human being.
Here’s a piece of unsolicited advice for Men with money entering relationships:
A lot of your relationships fail because you started with an unsustainable version of you. Sometimes when we love someone, we try to secure that love through too much effort, attention, gifts, or availability too early.
“You can kill a new plant by watering it too much.”
The problem with doing too much too early is that your initial effort becomes the standard. A relationship that starts at 100 has nowhere natural to grow.
When you give too much too early, the relationship skips the stage where you 2 gradually learn to love each other in a realistic way. Your effort becomes your identity in the relationship.
So when you reduce that effort later, it feels like less love to the other person whereas you’re just dealing with life.
When you have money, it’s tempting to do too much too early. But it’s usually a bad idea even if you can afford it.
