Dear Lord, grant me the gift of men. Lead me to the right people, help me discern the people you are sending to my life at every season and teach me to honor them in Jesus name.
May you experience true love, and may it continue to flourish and grow, and when life comes to test the strength of your love, may you face the challenges together, hand in hand, teaming up against the problem.
May you be blessed with a partner who embraces your true self with kindness, compassion, and understanding.
Some of us are very happy in our marriage. And we don't argue about which roles should belong to who. The goal is to make each other happy, feel loved and safe. That is the reason we care for each other in the first place.
Both of you flirted.
Texted every passing hour.
Laughed together, cried together.
Stayed up for hours just to gist about each other’s day and do small amebo. Said “I love you” couple of times. But now, you don’t talk anymore.
What happened?
So here it is!!! 👇👇
Mid 2022 discovered my kids lost interest in going to school. You will wake them up and they drag their feet to get prepared for school.
We talked about it and they raised some concerns which I took up with the school.

I currently have 760K+ subs on YouTube, and I want to share 12 random things I learned from building a successful YouTube channel for creators.
1. You have to fall in love with making videos (Filming, editing, scripting, research, etc.). This is the most crucial tip; everything falls in line after this.
2. Watch many YouTube videos in the categories you try to get into. I watched at least 20 videos a day when I started, and I still watch a ton of YouTube up to this day, and it taught me a lot.
3. Your friends and family won't support you. (Don't take it too personally). Your litmus test is when strangers start to love your work.
4. Focus on creating value, and the money will always come.
5. The first 10,000 subs are the hardest.
6. If you need more patience, get a regular job. Building anything on the internet takes time, and patience is vital.
7. Quantity at first, then quality after. I started by posting many videos, then gradually focused on quality as I grew. Quantity helps you build skill and find your audience; quality enables you to build a brand and get more views per video.
8. A great thumbnail/title can be the difference between 50K views and 5 Million views; how you package your video is super important.
9. If you need help with what to make, find an intersection between what you love doing and what an audience wants. A great way to do this is by making content about 3-5 different areas you are interested in and focusing on the ones that pop off. For me, it was real estate, travel, and business stories.
10. If you want to make travel content, start from your surroundings. I began with Lagos and scaled to Nigeria, Africa, and now the world.
I have noticed telling a story about a significant construction in any city worldwide always pops off. One of my first videos to pop off was about "Eko Atlantic" in Lagos, so maybe find some big project going on in your country and try to tell a story about it.
11. We all want to make money, but having that as the only reason behind why you do what you do might lead to quitting before you even begin. This shii is hard. 🥲
Figure out "Why you want to make videos early enough. A great book that might help with this is "Start with Why" by Simon Sinek.
12. Whatever makes you different, lean into it. That will separate you from everyone else and help make your work stand out.
That's all I got for now. Ok bye. 😊
1. “Natural sugar is harmless” is a lie.
2. “Sugar from fruits is good for the body, you can eat as much as you want”. This is a big lie.
3. “Use honey or dates, they’re a good alternative for sugar for people who are living with diabetes”. This is a big lie. Modern honey is even worse than sugar. People living with diabetes don’t need dates.
4. “Sweeteners are healthy alternative for sugar” is a big lie. Artificial sweeteners are worse than sugar. IARC classifies aspartame as “possibly” carcinogenic to humans.
5. Avoid anything with “high fructose corn syrup”. It will mess with your gut, and your health. It will predispose you to metabolic syndromes and the like.
I love seeing my friends get everything they deserve and more. It makes me so happy knowing things are working in their favour. Especially when it’s long overdue.
Be proud of yourself for how far you’ve come. Be proud of yourself for drowning out the negative voices. Be proud of yourself for keeping the faith when things got hard. Be proud of yourself for living the life you want, and not the life other people expect of you.
I'll list 10.
1.) Is God eternally seated on His throne? Like does He ever stand up, move around and so on or is He in a sitting position for all eternity?
2.) Before God decided “Okay, let me create something”, what was he doing for the eternity of the time He existed alone?
Just remembered that my friend was dating a very strict girl a while ago. Whenever he did something bizarre that she did not approve of, she would say "that will not happen in my regime"😂💀
What does “misery loves company” mean? It means miserable people often enjoy spreading their misery to others. And that’s no different from the above message. Someone’s meanness to you is a reflection of their discontentment - yes that’s shitty, but don’t take it personally.
See, if you’re not in a relationship, invest in friendships. Have gist partners. Get acquaintances. Just do anything to avoid getting addicted to being alone.
The moment you get into that zone, anything that comes into your space becomes a stress entity. Your babe. Your pet. Your child. Your sibling. Everything will just be irritating you. It’s a very terrible zone. You will try to stop, but you won’t know how to.
In relationships, there’ll always be a fight. Misunderstanding. It’s normal. Communicate. That’s how you know each other. Please never hide your feelings. Speak up. Stop your ignorance & don’t allow your ego ruin things. Communicate the best way to solve it. That’s how it works.
