We had a community cleanup in our neighborhood last Saturday near the park.
Nothing major, just picking up trash and keeping the area clean. I was one of the volunteers coordinating.
A lot of teens showed up to earn volunteer hours for school. The rule was simple: show up, sign in, do the work, and at the end I’d sign a sheet with your actual time.
One guy arrived with his mom around 9:15 (the cleanup started at 9:00). He signed in, grabbed gloves and a trash bag, took a couple of photos by the supplies table, and headed toward the trail.
Fine, no issues.
About 20 minutes later, I noticed he wasn’t with any of the groups. I didn’t go looking for him. I assumed maybe he’d linked up with another team farther down.
But as the morning went on, every group came back to hand in their bags. He wasn’t with any of them.
In fact, I never saw him again after those first 20 minutes.
Last week, a friend sent me her resume to review as she's been submitting but no interview calls.
Upon opening it, many problems abound from personal details to summary, education to experience, hobby and referrals, etc.
I will address 3 of these in this thread. Follow me.
I have this neighbor who had an uncompleted duplex in Lugbe. He was owing about ₦8 million, so he sold the building for ₦24 million, cleared his debt, paid two years’ rent upfront, and sorted his kids’ school fees. After all that, he still had about ₦12 million left.
He later decided to buy land in Kuje for ₦8 million but only paid ₦6 million, telling his wife that if he paid everything at once, people would think he had too much money. Two weeks later, the landowner came asking for the balance and somehow ended up returning his ₦6 million.
In less than two months, this man finished the entire ₦12 million on Bet9ja… and didn’t even win up to ₦10,000 😂
So one of our friends got married two years ago and being the bridesmaids, we were all meant to give her advice each. There was a lady among us that was divorced and when it was time for her own advice. She started;
“I have heard everything others said and it’s good but I will tell you not to wait for your husband before eating, I waited for mine, he still didn’t appreciate it. I did this, I did that”
Then I cut her, please stop portraying your picture on her, you have had your own journey and it didn’t work out, God understands it. She’s just getting married please, allow her enjoy her marriage, she just went quiet. I went to the hotel room assigned to me and my friends afterwards, I was so pissed ehn
Three of my Muslim colleagues (females) resumed work after their Salah break with new phones,

The other two upgraded to iPhone 14 pro UK used as if they planned it.

One of our security men fell down and died while on duty. The next day, we saw his replacement 💔💔💔
Always take care of yourself. Your organization will move on with or without you.
I have a cousin sister who has three kids: two girls and one boy. Her husband passed away about two years ago.
The boy is now 15. He used to be very respectful and composed whenever his father was around, but he didn’t really fear his mother in the same way.
Since his father’s d£ath, his behavior has gotten worse.
He doesn’t help his mother with anything at home and shows little respect.
A few months ago, my cousin’s sister begged her brother to take the boy in to live with him.
Since he started staying with his uncle, he has been behaving better because he knows his uncle doesn’t tolerate nonsense.
Packaging na water for my brand. 😅
My profit goes into packaging because I believe presentation matters.
One dozen of these bags costs 10k. If I use one to deliver your order, abeg cherish am o. 😂
I’m intentional about choosing packaging that customers can reuse. Whether it’s for storing items, carrying things around, or keeping personal belongings, I like knowing our packaging still has value l.
This is how we delivered this order to a hospital in Abuja. Clean, neat, and worthy of the premium products inside ❤️
One thing about me, I will spend money on packaging without blinking. 😅
