There is a Japanese Legend that says:
"Whether it's a machine, a house, or a relationship. Maintenance is always cheaper than repairing." What you don't maintain, you eventually lose.
Sticking to no contact really helps your self confidence. You realize there isn’t a single person you can’t live without. You had a life before they existed in it, and you’ll have one after they’re gone. Their importance was only informed by your attention.
This is a third time in just a week that I’m coming to beg you people for money. The truth is, I have never met any of these people and none of them even reached out to me by themselves. They just have a friend that cares enough to mention them to me.
Behind each of them is a story in the making that I probably wouldn’t have been able to part of until someone who believes in their dream and deeply cares about them reached out.
I intended to post for just one person, and then the second. And now a third. I’ve just had a video call with another final year medical student of UNIOSUN and I sincerely hope we can help her out. It is a tough situation no one wants to be in. And I am sure she appreciates every effort towards meeting the target.
She has to raise 710,000 naira
Progress so far: 310,000
Balance: 400,000 naira.

The deadline for registration has passed already, but the portal is still open . We are hoping we can raise this money as soon as possible so she doesn’t have to pay for late registration or even worse, lose a year.
We appreciate every penny that comes through you, directly or through your retweets and shares. And if you can, please mention some you think can help.
God bless you all 🙏.
It makes sense that I was playing the songs from the EPIC musical in my head as I was watching various scenes in The Odyssey Movie. 😅😅
And I think the tune made when Odysseus plucked the string for his bow, was the sound 'Penelope' from the musical.
This whole Goldman Sachs conversation and the "Big Schools in Nigeria" is making me snigger. I was in UI for 4 years and didn't even know what the Big 4 was. Mind you, I was on a first class o. I was preparing for at best, a job in the ministry of education or coming back for direct PhD.
First time I heard about BoA/Merrill Lynch (now Merrill) was when Jackson had returned from the summer internship. Asked him how he nailed it, and it was mostly self effort. No support from any group.
Point is, I love UI but it's all in the name, nothing else in particular. But I guess that's enough for some.
One could want to be mad at parental guidance too, but what did my parents know? And during my time, most parents were like mine. So imagine possibilities students in UI might not have known about.
Anyways, UI can be way better than just waking up bare-chested in the morning and screaming "fest and bess".
