I feel like sharing this:
During the run-in to my wedding, as the day moved closer, i kept disturbing my well-to-do uncle about the money and the cow he promised but he didn’t send any. Then 2 days to my wedding, he sent me N30k. I was like N30k?! I was very disappointed (money I didn’t work for).
This is someone who used to lavish money whenever my mom invited him to an event. He’d bring expensive perfumes for me and add at least N10k to it. After I received the alert, I sent a thank you text, although in a very reluctant way that he’d understand. He then missed my wedding. Omo!!!!
About 7-8 months later, one afternoon, I saw alert of N150k from him. Thought it was a mistake. Hours later he called me to apologize for not attending my wedding, that at the time, he had been suspended at work as they investigated a problem caused by one of his colleagues (law enforcement) that my mom was aware but he made her swear to not tell me so I won’t feel bad.
Years after, when adulting and family responsibilities kicked in, I came to realize that life is not always rosy. You could make a promise cos you’re expecting a payment and something random will just delay the payment. You become powerless in those situations and some just go into hibernation.
In the last couple of years, I have disappointed many younger people who trusted in me to shake their bank account as I promised for an event as well. Not that it was deliberate, but because I was going through a lot I didn’t want to discuss with them. I saw their anger and tantrums but I chose to be quiet as they’d never understand.
Bottom line is: if someone (abroad or here) sends you N10k for a family contribution, that is, way less than you expected do not be ungrateful. That’s probably all they have at the moment, take it like that. It’s NOT your money and most definitely, you have NO IDEA what they might be going through at that particular time.
Nigerians need to learn basic CPR. It can be lifesaving.
A heart attack shouldn’t be a death sentence.
If someone suddenly collapses and stops breathing, they still have a chance of survival...
Here’s what to do:
-Check if the person responds and is breathing, if not…Call for help immediately.
-Place both hands in the centre of the chest and push hard and fast, 30 times.
-Open the airway by tilting the head back and lifting the chin.
-Pinch their nose with your hand and put your mouth on theirs , then give 2 rescue breaths, making sure u see the chest rises.
-Continue with cycles of 30 chest compressions and 2 rescue breaths until help arrives or the person starts breathing.
Pls repost, The life you save tomorrow may be someone you love!!!

This doesn’t just apply to relationships. It applies to friends, family, even your parents.
Start giving your parents a monthly allowance and stop later because you’re broke, they’ll resent you. That gateman you give money to every day, the moment you stop, he’ll resent you too.
A gift is not supposed to be steady or predictable. Once it becomes expected, it stops being a gift and becomes an obligation.
Don’t start what you can’t sustain. Even good intentions become harmful in excess.
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.
Club legend Cesar Azpilicueta will retire from football at the end of the season.
Congratulations on a superb career, Azpi, and thank you for everything. 💙
It’s not exclusive to Olamide, men are naturally grateful species.
That Acrimony movie is a perfect reference for how grateful a man would be to a woman that showed him love and respect when he had nothing
Hardly would you build with and support a man at his lowest and get left behind when he finally makes it.
When you see a man switch up on his woman when he makes it, he must have endured some great level of disrespect or disloyalty when he was still struggling
Nothing brings more joy to a man that giving the whole world to the woman that supported his dream
It’s mostly the mother that fill that role in a young man’s life and that’s why you see “I bought my mum a house” content almost everyday in the internet.
