@OrevaZSN I love Italian soap bars especially!!!

One major difference between life in Nigeria and life in developed economies is something we don’t talk about enough:

ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE CREDIT.

In Canada, car loans can be around 6–7% per annum. Mortgages can be around 4–6%.

In the UK, new mortgages are around 4–5%.

Across the Eurozone, new housing loans are around 3–4%.

In the United States, even with today’s relatively high rates, a 30-year mortgage is around 7%.

Now come to Nigeria.

Our Central Bank policy rate is 23%, while commercial lending rates can run above 30% and, depending on the lender and borrower, considerably higher.

Then there are short-term digital lenders and informal loan sharks whose effective borrowing costs can be brutal.

Think about what this does to a society.

In developed economies, a hardworking person does not necessarily need the entire cash to buy a car, own a home, acquire equipment or build a business.

The financial system allows you to bring tomorrow’s income into today’s productivity.

You buy the house and repay over 15, 20 or 30 years.

You buy the car and repay over several years.

A business buys equipment today and pays for it from the income that equipment generates tomorrow.

That is one of the hidden infrastructures of prosperity: AFFORDABLE, LONG-TERM CREDIT.

In Nigeria, we have almost criminalised not having cash.

If you don’t have ₦50 million today, you may simply not be able to buy the ₦50 million asset, even if you have a stable income capable of paying for it over several years.

And when credit is available, the cost can be so high that the loan itself becomes the problem.

This affects everything.

Home ownership.
Transportation.
Manufacturing.
Agriculture.
Small businesses.
Education.
Technology.
Job creation.

We cannot build a productive middle class entirely on CASH AND CARRY.

A modern economy must allow responsible people to use their FUTURE INCOME to build their PRESENT PRODUCTIVITY.

Nigeria doesn’t only need more jobs.

We need a financial system that makes the income from those jobs actually capable of building wealth.

Affordable credit is not a luxury.

It is economic infrastructure.

We’ve never seen anything like this before. A man was conscripted into jury duty by the government. He performed his civic duty and followed his conscience, refusing to acquit a woman who confessed to systematically executing her three children. The defense attorney immediately launched a public smear campaign against the juror. Soon several other jurors joined the campaign. Then the media. Even the defense attorney’s wife has joined. Now they’re doxxing the man, digging into his past, contacting his family, showing up at his house. All of this both to punish him for refusing to go with their program, and to pollute any future jury pool by making it clear that anyone who votes to convict Clancy will have their life destroyed. It’s truly one of the most outrageously evil things we’ve ever seen from the Left, and that’s saying something. A direct assault on the integrity of our justice system. They are burning down every boundary and standard in their path. And doing it all for the sake of a child murdering psychopath. Unfathomable.

I sometimes see moms on here talking about homeschooling their 3 and 4 year olds as if they are preparing them for Harvard. Then they feel guilty when they cannot stick to a structured schedule.

Homeschool moms who have done this for over 10 years will tell you that formal curriculum before age 6 is completely unnecessary. Even in 1st grade, actual bookwork takes maybe 30-60 minutes a day.

For toddlers and preschoolers, executive function and vocabulary come from spending hours outside, open ended play, conversations, and reading stacks of picture books together. Early academic drilling just burns kids out and the supposed advantage washes out completely by 3rd grade.

Don't rob your young child out of play time. Play is how they learn BEST.

@Ssaasquatch Lucky to know some that cook pretty well and maintain a good standard. It's the cost and logistics of delivery that's stressful abroad tbh. Was thrilled to find a lovely lady to cook in my house so I'm not stranded with kpomo and liver which I don't like!

[Ms Okesade🌸 @okesade]

@tearsandguile Amazing job. Thank you!!

[Ms Okesade🌸 @okesade]

Well said. New Mom must survive and thrive by all means abeg!

[Walter 🇳🇬 🇵🇭 🇨🇦 @gamerwalt]

Your wife just survived a C section to expand your bloodline.

Yet your mother is upset because the new mother is not "checking up" on her. Isalright!

This is where a man must step in and become the absolute villain.

Protect your wife's peace fiercely.

She is healing from abdominal surgery... she is not a customer service representative for your extended family.

If you cannot shield your wife from the toxic politics of your relatives, you have failed as a shield.

Regulate the access immediately.

Be like say you like wahala!

Grace removed the barrier. It did not remove the altar.

The veil was torn, not so that men would stop coming, but so that men could finally come boldly.

Grace did not abolish prayer. Grace abolished the distance.

Grace did not abolish fasting. Grace abolished the idea that fasting purchases what Christ has already paid for.

Grace did not abolish consecration. Grace changed its motivation. We are not consecrated to become accepted. We consecrate because we have been accepted.

And here is the scandal of our generation: we have more access and sometimes less appetite.

Men who believed they had to climb mountains climbed them. Men who thought they had to tarry all night tarried.
Now we preach that the veil is torn, the blood has spoken, the throne is accessible, and yet we barely enter.

Something is wrong when superior revelation produces inferior devotion

@asemota Good old days of Anchor and Planta butter. Never liked Blue band as it did tasted like rubber.

[dele osunmakinde @deleosunmakinde]

There is a rising pressure in this generation. A pressure to “do something for God.” A pressure to “start something.” A pressure to “not waste your anointing.” A pressure to “step out before it is too late.”

And for many, that pressure is not coming from the Holy Spirit. It is coming from comparison, from expectations, from platforms, from voices that equate visibility with calling.

Let this be settled.
Not every believer is called to start a ministry.
Not every anointing is for pioneering.

Not every grace is for building a platform.
Some are called to be planted. Deeply planted. Faithfully planted. Quietly growing. Strongly rooted in a local church, serving, building, strengthening, and maturing within a body.
And that is not lesser.
That is biblical.

In 1 Corinthians 12, the Scripture says God sets members in the body as it pleases Him. Not as pressure dictates. Not as trends demand. Not as people suggest. As it pleases Him.

That means your place is not discovered by pressure. It is discovered by divine placement.
And when God places you, He sustains you.
But when pressure pushes you, you will spend years trying to sustain what God never started.

This is where many are exhausted today. They started something out of excitement, expectation, or persuasion, and now they are carrying a weight that grace never authorised. They are building without clarity. Leading without conviction. Labouring without peace.
Because they responded to pressure, not to calling.

Let us bring Scripture into this.
In Acts 13, Paul and Barnabas were not roaming around looking for where to start a ministry. They were in a local church. They were serving. They were part of a leadership community. Then the Holy Spirit spoke and said, “Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.”

Notice this.

They did not appoint themselves.
They were not pressured into starting something.
They were not compared into ministry.
They were not shamed into stepping out.

The Spirit spoke.

The church discerned.
Hands were laid.
They were released.
There was clarity.
There was witness.
There was alignment.
There was no confusion.

If God is calling you to start something, you will not need ten voices pushing you into it. There will be a deep persuasion within. There will be alignment in your spirit. There will be confirmation through Scripture, through godly counsel, and through the witness of the Spirit. It may be stretching, but it will not be confusing. It may require faith, but it will not require you to violate your peace.

God does not lead His people by harassment.
God does not guide His children by anxiety.
God does not reveal calling through intimidation.
The Spirit leads.

Now hear this clearly.
Honour is not slavery.
Submission is not the suspension of discernment.
Loyalty is not the abandonment of divine conviction.

You can respect leaders, receive from them, learn from them, and still not obey every suggestion they make about your life. A leader can see potential in you and still be wrong about your assignment. A pastor can desire expansion and still misplace people in roles they were not called to carry.

You must not convert someone else’s excitement about you into God’s instruction for you.
Your calling is not decided by who believes in you the most.

Your assignment is not determined by who is most persuasive.
Your ministry is not born because people say, “You can do it.”
It is born because God said, “This is what I have called you to do.”
And until that is clear, remain where God has planted you.

There is no shame in staying planted.
There is no shame in growing quietly.
There is no shame in serving faithfully.
There is no shame in saying no to opportunities that do not align with your conviction.

In fact, it takes maturity to remain where God is feeding you when there is pressure to prove something elsewhere.

@FabrizioRomano Not a football fan but I had to watch because I've heard so much about some of the players and I'm thrilled that Messi is who I hear he is. Loved every minute and happy at the fighting spirit of the Argentinian team. Well deserved!!
