Not to offend anyone but at this age we should be more scared of being unskilled than single. Partners come and go 💀skills, career and self-worth are what keep you stable when life gets real.
Former Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew once said that he learn't from the failure of Nigeria while building Singapore from a third world to a first world nation.
Nigeria gained it's independence in 1960 while Singapore gained theirs in 1965.
Our both countries where colonized by the British.
He said that Nigeria lacked the will to be a nation.
In his 1966 visit to Lagos, he observed that Nigeria's leaders were utilizing their positions for self-enrichment and private ventures rather than national advancement.
For example, he recounted a conversation with Nigeria's Finance Minister at the time, who implemented protective import tariffs on shoes primarily so that he could retire and successfully run his own shoemaking factory.
He learned from this that state resources were being heavily diverted to build personal wealth instead of establishing long-term, meritocratic, and productive institutions.
He concluded that vast natural and human resources could not substitute for a cohesive national identity and honest, competent leadership.
How i wish Nigeria can go back to basics and start fixing from there.
Dunno how to word this but each time I am overwhelmed
All I need to do is pray and once I pray I feel a specific peace
Every time I have tried it ,it's has worked for me

Girl to girl: be that girl again.
Get disciplined again. Take care of yourself again. Eat better & move your body again. Oil your edges & drink your water again. Start praying & reading your Bible again. Get your money up and sleep 8 hours again. Find your spark and put yourself first.
I feel like “people have lives” is only brought up when we’re talking about friendships. Yet when it comes to relationships, people commit. People can be in relationships for three, four, even five years and make the time for them.
People stole.
At a service of songs.
While most people mourned, others were stealing from them.
Right there.
During the service.
Nah, we are a terrible people.
The same parents who travel long distances to help/ grieve/ celebrate their friends?
The ones greeting almost everyone from church to the market? They model alot about community and friendship. Alot of us think we're too good for mundane things.
Let's be serious please.
So glad I learned how to turn this off. Spiritually its a form of mental bondage. Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt for this and that's what you are when you become a slave to nostalgia. Renew your mind daily. All you ever have is the present. Be where your feet are.
