A woman who never smoked a day in her life, was diagnosed with lung cancer at 52. Her doctor's first question wasn't about cigarettes. It was about where she spent most her days.
Why?
I’ll explain…
The day I started following you, I just knew there was something different about you. The hunger. The drive. The determination. The way you wake up every morning and ask yourself, “What goal can I achieve today?”
I never imagined that one day, that ambition would lead you to buying yourself an ice cream cone at the tender age of 23. Not parents. Not older siblings. Not luck. Just pure hard work, discipline and an unwavering refusal to give up. 😭😭
People see the ice cream, but I see the sleepless nights. The sacrifices. The vision board. The 5-year plan. The generational wealth being built one cone at a time.
Honestly, if you’re not inspired by this level of ambition, check yourself. Some of us are out here waiting for opportunities while Chioma is out here creating hers, buying her own ice cream and motivating an entire generation.
Keep breaking boundaries Chioma.🚀🥹
The fastest way to be underestimated is to talk a lot about what you are going to do.
The fastest way to be respected is to quietly do it, and let people find out later.
Announcements are cheap. Results are not.
A billionaire wrote a book on "Making it Big," you say you won't read it because he started life in London.
You hear a piece of advice, you dismiss it by saying, "it can only work in America, not here."
Someone told you they got their job without any connections in Nigeria, you say, that was then, that today, you can't get a job without connections.
Then you see someone, today, in Nigeria, get a job, you say but they finished with a First Class.
Then someone with a 2:1 did it, you say, but they are young.
Then another, you say, but they are a lady. People help ladies.
I hope you do know that there is no prize for the person that can come up with the best excuse?
At some point, you will need to look yourself in the mirror and say, "if it is to be, it is up to me."
The day you do that is your morning.
Good morning in advance 🙏
Just a friendly reminder because social media will have you confused.
- Men need women.
- Women need men.
- 50/50, 100/0, 70/30 is cool - DO YOU!
- A cheater will cheat on anyone.
- Being single is fine if you're happy.
- There is nothing wrong with a 9-5.
- Health is wealth.
- Social Media is not real.
Omo, I chopped serious insult today.
If you’re not my family member, I’ll never stress myself trying to advise you again.
Remember the girl I told you guys about? The one whose mum sells fish in my area.
I went to their shop today, and luckily her mum was around. I explained the conversation I had with her daughter and told her I was only concerned because she’s still a young girl. I don’t want men taking advantage of her with material things.
The woman looked me straight in the face and said, “Mind your business.” She said it’s not a crime for her daughter to like good things, and if any man decides to buy her an expensive phone, she’ll even encourage her to accept it.
I’ve never been so embarrassed in a long time. I simply apologized and left.
Safe to say, I won’t be buying fish from that shop again. 😂
Fish woman 1 : Dee 0 😩
Poverty is a disease !!
