I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.

They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.

They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.

Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.

The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.

Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.

At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.

Nothing happened to you.

The economy happened to you.

And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.

Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.

You didn’t lose your job.

You didn’t lose your salary.

But somehow, you lost your standard of living.

That is poverty too.

And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.

Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.

But surely, the bigger question should be:

Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?

If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.

But it has not solved the actual problem.

The real problem is that his labour has lost value.

And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.

How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?

How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?

How do we make food cheaper by producing more?

How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?

How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?

Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.

It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.

There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.

There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.

There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.

There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.

People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”

Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”

That is the part that keeps bothering me.

Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.

They just want hard work to make sense again.

And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:

Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?

Everything else is secondary.

I thought I was done when the season ended. I wasn't ready to announce it, and I knew I needed some time to really decide, but I was pretty sure I played my last game. I was honest at that last press conference when I said I needed to look at myself and deicide if I still love

Mark Cuban says he gave millions of dollars to employees after selling his company because he believed they earned it.

Shannon Sharpe: “When you sold the company, it was reported you gave employees $35 million in bonuses. Why?”

Mark Cuban: “It ended up being a lot more than that.”

“I’m not there without them.”

“I did it with my first company, MicroSolutions. We had 80 employees and they all got paid.”

“I did it again with Broadcast .com.”

“Out of 330 employees, 300 became millionaires.”

“I wanted to do the same thing with the Mavericks.”

“They were there for me the whole time.”

“For the people who had been there 20 years or more, it was life-changing money.”

Points noted when a woman comes back because she fails to replace him.

1. Women are quicker to leave but always return. Men take longer to leave, but never come back physically or mentally.
2. A woman walks away on emotions. A man walks away on logic. That's why hers is temporary and his is final.
3. She leaves to test the waters. To see if she can replace him. To see if he'll chase. To feed her ego one last time.
4. A man leaves after he's seen enough. After he's done forgiving. After he's done trying. After he's emotionally buried her in his mind.
5. A woman always comes back. Not out of love, but out of realisation. Regret always visits women late. By then the man she knew was gone. Because he learnt the lessons she taught too late.
6. Women return to the same man, hoping he's the same. Men never return, because they never are.
7. When a man detaches, he doesn't hate her. He just stops caring. And once that happens, she'll never get the same version of him again.

Brothers, understand the game and stay rational while you act accordingly. Stop giving premium effort to someone offering discounted consistency. High-value men don't beg for validation, clarity, or equal treatment.

Weak men tolerate double standards because they're afraid to lose access. Strong men protect their time, focus, and emotional bandwidth like assets, because they are.

My husband was speaking to someone, after the person spoke, he gently shared his perspective, and encouraged him, for some unknown reasons, the guy quoted his word and was rude. Even me, his wife, felt it. He remained calm and just went quiet.
Till the end of the call, he didnt say a word, I rounded the call up.

He made something clear to me and that I had seen in him, if you allow people insult you once and you let it slide, they'll always do it.
Removing yourself is a form of self care.
He is a man that won't start a quarrel.
He has never started a quarrel to my knowledge.
Since day 1 of us meeting, there's no one day he picks a fight, he will explain and if you constantly behave disrespectful that to him, he will avoid you.
Jesus left those who were condescending and insulting to him.
He did few miracle around them.
Know your worth and walk with dignity.
