A grammar tip:
When choosing between “and me” or “and I” in a sentence, choose the one that works if you drop the other person.
“My sister and I went to the store,” becomes, “I went to the store,” which is correct.
“My sister and me went to the store,” becomes, “Me went to the store,” which is incorrect.
The pressure that comes from having parents who simply believe in you and trust you to do well is heavier than people realize.
It's quiet, but it weighs a lot.

I just remembered how excited I was to stop using pencils and start writing with a pen in Primary 3. Funny how the smallest things felt like major milestones back then.
If only I knew 😭
Nigerians have this terrible habit of pocket watching and sizing people.
It has become such a habit that they don't even realize when they're doing it.
The average Nigerian will size you up before according you any level of respect. From customer service staff at the bank to receptionists, waiters, waitresses, business owners, people at the gym, parties, clubs—you name it.
You could be talking to a Nigerian for the first time, and they'd be stylishly looking at the kind of phone you're using, the watch you're wearing, the car you drive, the wig you're wearing, your bag, and so on. The moment they perceive you to be rich, you can immediately notice the difference in how they talk to you and treat you.
And this is exactly why so many Nigerians live fake lives.
They call it packaging.
People have realized that looking rich often gets you more respect than actually being respectable. So everybody is trying to look like they're doing better than they really are.
This sizing culture is also why Nigerians pocket watch so much.
People are constantly calculating how much you make in a month, what you do for a living, how you can afford to travel all the time, where you got the money to buy your car, how you're able to live in a particular neighborhood, and so on.
They don't do this because they want to be inspired to go harder. Most times, it is simply pocket watching.
Someone said a few days ago that, "So a helicopter flight in Monaco is $150, and Sophia Egbueje made it look like $100,000."
Mind you, she didn't imply it. She didn't say anything about the cost. But because Nigerians are professional pocket watchers, they filled in the gaps themselves and ran with it.
They do this all the time.
And the craziest part about pocket watching is that once people have sized you up, mentally calculated how much you make, and concluded that you're rich, they automatically start thinking they're entitled to some of the money you make.
Such a ridiculous way to live life.
