The part of the breakup no one prepares you for… when everything you gave suddenly means nothing

[sẹ́milọ́gọ̀ @odavid_s]

@TopeDada17 But looking at this, I don’t think there’s enough space for people to sit right?

[lobistars🇳🇬 @john322226]

There’s a broke phase you’ll send a billing message to someone and off your data immediately bcos you’re ashamed or don’t want embarrassing response that will hurt you.

That phase can make a sane person go insane.

people who lack accountability always say “you could’ve just talked to me.” no i couldn’t. you don’t listen, you deflect, and you twist everything until i’m the one apologizing

No. We are either lovers or strangers.

@eldivine But your statement isn’t true in all cases, because with N550M, another person can decide to build a house with much lesser amount and still invest the money. It’s the lifestyle the “popular influencer” that ruined such person.

Almost everyone is honest about how they feel in the first few weeks of a relationship. If you can match that vulnerability and love, you’re giving it a real chance.

The same person who is soft, vulnerable, and full of love can become the coldest person you’ve ever met. Not because they changed, but because you kept playing games with their emotions instead of creating a safe, loving environment together.

You can take a lover and slowly turn them into someone who no longer feels safe enough to love you.

@SirJarus You changed your profile picture again, I didn’t know it was you until I saw Jarus😅

This is a good advice

getting accused of something so out of character will really have you lying in bed for three hours questioning how people actually perceive you

[• hatti @Whohewas0]

one of the biggest tragedies is that you will never know how truly loved you are. how your mom studied your hands and feet when you were a baby. the songs someone associates you with. the unspoken admiration from a stranger. the tears someone has shed for you. the process of someone putting a gift together for you someone from your past trying to find you on social media. the co worker who doesn't quit because of you, there is so much that happens behind the scenes.

I have been thinking about something lately, and the more I think about it, the more disturbing it becomes.

A lot of Nigerians became poor without doing anything wrong.

They didn’t stop working. They didn’t become lazy. They didn’t suddenly become irresponsible.

They simply woke up one day and realised that the money they had worked for could no longer buy the things it used to buy.

Think about someone earning ₦100,000 a month.

The person still wakes up early every morning, goes to work, puts in the same hours, probably works even harder, gets promoted occasionally and does everything society says a responsible person should do.

Yet every year, that person seems to be able to afford less.

At some point, ₦50,000 could buy a reasonable amount of food for the house. Today, you can enter the market with the same ₦50,000 and genuinely wonder where the money went.

Nothing happened to you.

The economy happened to you.

And I think this is something we don’t talk about enough.

Imagine working hard for years, only for circumstances completely outside your control to quietly reduce the value of everything you have worked for.

You didn’t lose your job.

You didn’t lose your salary.

But somehow, you lost your standard of living.

That is poverty too.

And this is why I struggle with the way we sometimes discuss palliatives.

Of course, when people are hungry, you must find ways to help them immediately. There is nothing wrong with providing temporary relief.

But surely, the bigger question should be:

Why did millions of working Nigerians suddenly need palliatives in the first place?

If a man could comfortably buy a bag of rice from his salary a few years ago and today he needs government assistance to buy that same bag of rice, giving him rice may solve today’s hunger.

But it has not solved the actual problem.

The real problem is that his labour has lost value.

And perhaps that is what we should be obsessed with fixing.

How do we make the Nigerian worker’s income valuable again?

How do we make ₦100,000 buy more next year, rather than less?

How do we make food cheaper by producing more?

How do we reduce the cost of energy and transportation?

How do we build an economy where salaries can actually keep up with the cost of living?

Because when I think deeply about it, perhaps one of the greatest things a government can do for its people is not to keep giving them money.

It is to build an economy where the money they earn has value.

There is dignity in being able to take care of yourself from the product of your own labour.

There is dignity in a teacher being able to feed a family from teaching.

There is dignity in a nurse being able to pay rent from nursing.

There is dignity in a young person working an honest job and gradually seeing life improve.

People should be able to look back after five years of hard work and say, “My life has become better.”

Not, “I earn more money today, but somehow I can afford less.”

That is the part that keeps bothering me.

Millions of Nigerians are not asking to become millionaires overnight.

They just want hard work to make sense again.

And maybe that should be one of the simplest ways we measure whether our economy is actually working:

Is the ordinary Nigerian who works hard becoming progressively better off, or progressively poorer?

Everything else is secondary.
