Mentioning numbers in Yorùbá is more complex and requires higher brainpower than in English, Hausa and Igbo.
Before you come for me, know that this is a fact. Numbers in English, Hausa and Igbo are in denary. They're just same 1 to 10 put in their respective place value. Numbers in Yorùbá will require you to add, multiply and subtract, just to call a number. It's complex.
For example, 777 in Hausa is dari bakwai da saba'in da bakwai. It loosely translates to 7x 100 + 7 x 10 + 7
In Igbo, it is narị asaa na iri asaa na asaa. It also translates to 7x100 + 7x10 + 7
In Yorùbá, 777 is
Mẹ́tàdínl��́gọ́rin lé ní ẹ̀ẹ́dẹ́gbẹ̀rin. It translates to {(200 x 4 - (100)} + {(20 x 4 - (3)}
That's why it's complex for many people to grasp.
To fall asleep, you first pretend to be asleep. Life works the same way. You become by practicing. You grow by acting. Confidence comes after the first step. The version of you that you're becoming begins as something you choose to embody before it feels real.

If “what will people say” keeps holding you back, you’ll forever stay in a box. Do you….chase what makes you happy and forget about people’s opinions.
Live your life boldly and unapologetically. 💪
If you pay attention to the patterns of your life, you’ll realize that everything always works out. You survived what once felt impossible, not by accident, but by design. There’s a divine rhythm behind the chaos, a wisdom guiding the unfolding. So breathe. Trust where you are.
If you grew up believing the ability to take advantage of people is a sign of sharpness or superior intellect, you are damaged. Cos when u meet people who grew up in consideration, care and generosity , you’ll think those people are not smart.
Being dubious is not being sharp, you just grew up either poor, in lack or struggle and it makes every human interaction one where your predominant thought is about“whats in it for me”.
Be self aware and heal your damaged psyche.

This day last year, I left my house employed and returned unemployed. According to my employer, I was laid off for being “not suitable for this role.” But deep down, I knew that wasn’t the case. The whole saga started after I asked about visa sponsorship.

Parents in Nigeria: you see this 400g of Milo your kids drink every morning?
It has more sugar than SIX cans of Coke.
Yet, Nestlé sells healthier, low-sugar versions abroad.
I studied this & here’s what i found.

Your married sibling's guest room at their matrimonial home is just that. A guest room. It is not an invitation for you to permanently move in and become part of their immediate family. Visit and leave. And when you visit and see them spending money, don't start monitoring their spending. How an adult spends money they earned is none of your business, even if you are suffering. Stop turning your family into your enemy because you are hungry for their money!
