Woke up this morning with 100k in my account. I was craving to go to my favourite cafe and give myself a treat. Which might cost me at least 30k.
Then I remembered I want to collect my sch transcript and lang proficiency, which would cost about 50k.
I wanted to buy one unique chair for my space, 45k.
I opened WhatsApp and saw a message from Lil Sis reminding me of her allowance and contribution towards her project. Another 50k.
I sent lil sis her 50k. Bought data 20k. Renewed 𝕏 sub. And I'm left with 24k to manage, I can't leave my acct entirely empty.
I called lil sis this afternoon to gist. She was eating, I asked what she was eating, and she said shawarma and parfait. That's 15k! I asked where she got the money from. And she answered that it's from the money I sent her in the morning. I was about to say something, and she said, "I can't come and kill myself."
Ngl, I don't know how to feel. I'm not angry. But I feel sorry for myself.
I saw a post on YouTube on why Yahoo boys, internet fraudsters, become so popular and even socially acceptable in Nigeria.
The details of the video was so well researched. You'd think the fellow who did it is a Nigerian. He's a Caucasian. I then wonder how can white people know so much about Yahoo in Nigeria and still fall for the scam?
Anyway, in the video, the man detailed that one the reasons why internet scams is so popular in Nigeria is because of the cultural climate of acceptability: a lot of Nigerians see no problem with someone being an internet fraudsters, even though they may not be part of it.
Some landlords prefer them to working class folks because they only can pay the exorbitant and predatory fee he's asking.
Some churches like to have them around because they pay huge offerings and tithes.
And most especially, most ladies see them as a pathway to climb the socioeconomic ladder and access nice, shinny things.
All these points were laid out by the man in the video.
I was wowed.
He then concluded that as long as cultural acceptability of internet scams is still prevalent in Nigeria, the enterprise will continue to blossom.

1. Never in your life be ashamed to say, “I can’t afford this right now.” How they look at you or what they think about you afterward is their business. Never use shame to chest billing.
2. Do not be ashamed of your background. It is okay to come from a poor background. You don’t choose your family. Just make sure your children live a better life than the one you are currently living.
3. In an intimate moment with someone, do not be ashamed to admit that you are nervous, shy, or don’t know what to do. Communicate it so they can guide you through it.
4. Do not be ashamed to talk about God. In a generation where it is easy for your faith to be tested, be loud about your beliefs.
5. Do not be ashamed to ask for help when life is unkind to you. You were not created to do life alone. Just make sure you are asking people in your circle whom you can also show up for when they need you.
6. Do not borrow shame from the past. Whatever happened is either because you didn’t know better or because you knew better but didn’t choose better. Lesson learned. Let it go.
7. Do not be ashamed to talk about sex, especially with the person or people you are having it with. You are an adult.
8. Do not ever let anyone shame you for being a virgin or having little to no sexual experience. In a world where people can freely talk about sex, you can also talk about chastity.
9. Do not be ashamed of where you live, who you are dating, the work that puts food on your table, or your friends. This is your life. Be real.
10. Do not be ashamed to talk about your music or movie taste, even if it doesn’t appeal to most people. What matters is that you enjoy it.
Like I have said before, when I knew I was in love was when for like a month or two, I lost my peace
I could not sleep; I was so restless.
The babe (my wife now) that had me that restless is my long time friend and I did not develop any feelings in the past, so why was it happening now
I could not just stop thinking about her; I tried to forget about the feelings and distract myself but it was super impossible
Eventually when I spoke to her about it, we didn’t date until about 5 months later but I was so cool with that. I was not liking another person, I was not interested in another person.
