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.
Eight years as a senior data analyst in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Landed in Canada 🇨🇦 and spent months getting rejected for customer service jobs. Apple Store. Call centres. Everything.
Then I walked into a cold calling interview. Loud music. Phones everywhere. They handed me a script.
Made my first cold call. The lady heard my accent and ended the call immediately.😭 (God abeg x 3)
I kept going. Got through the day and got the job offer on the spot.
35k a year. Five days in office. 8am starts.
I asked if that was the best they could do.
He said yes.
I took the offer letter home. Showed my wife.
She looked me in the eye and said that was below me.
That week I stopped applying sideways and went back to data.
Three months later I was hired as lead analyst in a Fortune 500 company.
Nigerian professionals living abroad, what was the moment that made you realize you needed to stop chasing survival jobs?
The reason many people turn out badly behaved, rude, unruly, with unhealthy habits and addictions, wicked and lack empathy and many other vices and attitude that is turning our society upside-down today, is because their mothers wanted "freedom", and many of them were in silent competition with their husbands. Forgetting they have kids.
Some women are not working because they find fulfilment in doing so. Some of them even hate their jobs. But, they're going head-on, even when the man tries his best to provide. Simply because, they want to be "respected" and seen as a "busy" wife. They want to get promoted at the office so bad, to show men that yes, they can do it too.
No one says a woman shouldn't dare to dream. Women achieve great things too. But, your kids turning out excellent would be your greatest achievement in life. My mother brags with my siblings and I. She knows what she did. The effort she put in, the yells, the beating, and advice, the love, the care, the prayers, the sacrifices. She wouldn't have achieved that if she was busy showing my Dad that she's a smart woman and she can make money too. She showed him that with us.
After school, my mother would dedicate her time teaching us. She wouldn't have had such time if she was at the office.
I did a little private survey when I was a teacher with a school some years back. I usually left home at 6am and got back 5pm. If I was married, what time would I have for my kids? Also, I taught more than 30 kids. And I read their behavioural patterns. There are kids whose both parents were bankers, the gatekeeper of the school said they usually dropped these little kids at school by 5:30am. And pick them up by 7pm. Sometimes, the director of the school would have to take kids to his home because parents wouldn't come to pick some kids till 8pm. Both parents are busy. You don't even know your child's behavior. They're sleeping when you bring them to school, or awake but yea, you have to hurriedly drop them and drive yourself to work too. You come back to pick up your children late in the evening, they're fagged out. You're tired too.. sometimes they won't even carry out their school assignments. You're not a parent, you're a sperm and egg donor.
The behaviour of the kids whose mothers are dedicated, drop them early at school and pick them early from school.. is far, far different from the behaviour of children whose mothers are busy. If teachers want to tell you the truth, they'll tell you.
When a woman pays attention and dedicates her life to raising her kids, they will NEVER turn out poorly behaved. There are certain things they wouldn't do, even when they grow up and gain their "freedom".
There are honest situations that would warrant a woman to go out daily to work, but it is really dangerous when the kids are very young at their foundation level. That is why you need to have a sensible partner, do as to have a plan for your kids' future.
Don't come and tell me "there are no rules" or "there's no manual". There are rules to these things!
I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE DON’T USE CHATGPT FOR JOB SEARCHES.
I got 5 interview calls in 7 days, all with ChatGPT as my recruiter.
Here are the prompts that I used:
As a parent, I think this video has taught me something useful.
I recommend that you should try it on your kids, too.
I have also shared it with my wife.

Biafra Day Meditation: Igbo Exitism or Restructuring for Regional Autonomy?
Biafra Day passions should infuse the Igbo political playbook, but purged of secessionist praxis. Strategic pragmatism is required as the 2027 presidential poll approaches.
