[Ọbálèkè 🇳🇬 @obaleke_]

My friend was full of life but peer pressure took his life.

He was two years ahead of me in secondary school. He didn't gain admission on his first try, tried again the next year, and finally got in. In his first year, he was doing well, striving, good grades, doing he could to make it right.

Then in 2022, the ASUU strike hit for good 8 months, he'd lost his father a year before, and his mother wasn't always around, so he was mostly alone with no real support.
Some of his friends who'd given up on school came back with fast money, the kind nobody asks questions about and they wore it loud. He watched them flex while he had nothing, and the pressure was daily.

But he refused. He didn't want money built on someone else's pain. He took his late father's motorcycle and started doing commercial rides around town instead.

One night, he was meant to take some passengers from another town back home. He never returned.

Peer pressure doesn't only tempt you into evil, sometimes it pushes you toward the "better" alternative instead and that alternative is what ends up costing you your life.

Sincerely I still miss him sometimes 😔

Who told you that you need love to marry?

People marry for different reasons- to strengthen family relationship, to protect generational wealth, to escape poverty, to have children, to answer the title of Mrs, to please parents.

Marriage is easy for a man. Many women want marriage. Find one person, go to court and sign paper. There is no rocket science to it.

How many women even love their men? They are all joyfully accepting rings and answering Mrs. How many of the marriages you read about home and abroad look like love?
