If na 2 children you fit raise well, no born 3
if na 1 child you fit raise, no born 2
If na your wife alone you fit take care of, no born at all.
If na only yourself you fit cater for, no rush enter marriage.
It may sound like a joke, but this is actually a solid advice. Don't bring children into the world only to send them out as domestic help because of financial hardship. Innocent children shouldn't have to pay the price for circumstances they never chose!!!
Girl to girl: be that girl again.
Get disciplined again. Take care of yourself again. Eat better & move your body again. Oil your edges & drink your water again. Start praying & reading your Bible again. Get your money up and sleep 8 hours again. Find your spark and put yourself first.
One discussion I can’t stand on Nigerian Twitter is “saving”
“Save, save, save” but nobody is asking the real question.
Save from where????
When the money I earn is barely enough to survive, what exactly am I supposed to save???
Let me help you understand what you typed in layman’s terms:
So, if your father raped an 8 year old girl for five years in a row, through the anus and vagina…. and she eventually died due to diseases contracted from your father, and even developed VVF, and you are fully aware of it… you will still stand by your father because he paid your school fees, put a roof over your head, fed you, and did all the good things for you?
Even though he raped a minor until she died?
YOU WILL STAND WITH YOUR FATHER?

@nickimoraa Turning down every small hangout. People often think a friend is just becoming a homeboy, or acting too busy. It's because they can't afford the hidden cost like the Uber ride or the split bill.
Something is fundamentally broken with how young boys are growing up right now. It's not discussed enough.
Earlier this year, I visited an Amala restaurant. You know those ones where you stand across a transparent glass and make your orders. Three young boys stood beside me. The oldest couldn't have been more than 18. Baggy trousers, oversized crop tops, and flashing their phones for everyone to see.
Within seconds, they started shouting at the girls serving to attend to them. One of the girls politely told them to be patient. That there were other people ahead of them. They felt offended.
Next thing I heard: "Ogun kee your papa. How much be your salary sef? I dey blow your whole salary one night for Martell inside club."
I was stunned. Even Dangote wouldn't be that proud. Thankfully, the older men in the restaurant made them apologise. But the damage was done. The disrespect and humiliation of that young girl.
Just last week, I had a conversation with a friend about this. We both agreed: things are getting out of hand. My biggest concern is parenting. Many of the kids that will be raised in the next 15 to 20 years might just lack any form of values.
Already, there is a drug abuse pandemic among young boys that isn't talked about enough. Finding young people between 17 and 24 who are not into drugs is like passing a thread through a needle in the dark. Codeine, trams, loud, molly... They're mixing substances like it's a lab experiment.
Money fa? Their mindset is completely warped. You see 15-year-old boys talking about buying a Benz. And some actually do. How do they get the money? That's a gist for another day jare. But they're not interested in school, work, or anything requiring patience or hard work. They just want to earn illegally and live lavishly.
Should we talk about their attitude to life? Very uncouth. Very reckless. You can even see them here on X. Disrespecting people, mocking people with honest jobs. Celebrating scammers as role models. No respect for anything except money and flex.
Now tell me. What kind of kids will these boys raise? What kind of fathers will they become?
Kids exposed to drugs from birth. Kids who grow up thinking "pressing" is the only way. Kids who will never understand delayed gratification, sacrifice, or integrity.
This is not just about one generation. Broken boys raise broken children. And those children raise even more broken children.
The scary part? Many of these boys have parents who are alive and well. But those parents are either too busy, too ignorant, or too afraid to discipline them. Some are even enablers. "My son is hustling." "At least he's not begging."
No sir/ma. That's not all that matters.
Because when your son disrespects a girl trying to earn honestly, that matters. When your son is popping pills at 17, that matters. When he's scamming people and buying bottles with the money, that matters.
We are raising a generation of boys who don't know how to earn respect. They only know how to demand it. Boys who don't know how to build. They only know how to take.
A tree that grows crooked from the root will never stand straight, no matter how much you water it.

I just graduated a few weeks ago. I was class rep all through my stay in UI Law so I knew nearly all my classmates on a personal note.
The ones who worked every last day just to feed and afford the basics.
The ones we had to crowdfund for.
The ones who were in and out of hospital and always called to take excuse because while we’re writing yet another test, they can’t make it because they are on a hospital bed for the umpteenth time that semester.
The ones who got overwhelmed and depressed.
The ones who lost family and/or friends and just couldn’t find their way back.
The family men and women who just had other responsibilities and cant give it as much time as the others.
And it goes on and on…
The most important thing I learnt from being class rep is not leadership or service. It is to give people grace when it comes to these things.
There are still those who do not care and just want to graduate with whatever but mehn, more than half the time, life happened and it takes different forms.
Leave people alone. Let them celebrate their 2:2 if they want. YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT TOOK TO GET THERE!
And I really hope you never have to know.
