God created the world in 7 days and it took Him 9 months to create me, so clearly I'm a BIG deal.

How to Be Respected
1. Dress well, people respect what they visually admire.

3. Set boundaries early, people will treat you the way you allow.
4. Learn to walk away when you are not respected.

Whatever you do, do not let your parents transfer their house into your name.
Instead, do what the wealthy do.
If your parents are retiring and they tell you they want to sign the deed of the house over to you, maybe they bought the house for next to nothing back in the eighties and now it is worth $800,000, do not do it.
If they transfer it to you while they are alive, you will take their original tax basis. This means that when you eventually sell, you will have to pay capital gains tax on the entire increase in value since they bought it. The taxman does not care that it was a gift.
Here is what the wealthiest families do instead:
Step 1: Set up a revocable living trust and place the home inside it.
It keeps your parents in full control while they are alive, but sets up a smooth, private transfer later.
Step 2: Your parents should name you as the beneficiary of the trust. That way, when they pass away, the house automatically moves to you with no court involvement and no probate.
Step 3: When you inherit the house through the trust, you get a stepped-up basis. That means you only pay capital gains tax on any increase in value that occurs after they passed away, not on the huge appreciation since the 1980s.
That single move can save you over $120,000 in taxes.
That is how you pass inheritance to your children without losing a dollar to the system.
If you want to stop the government from taking a cut of your family’s hard-earned assets, follow these steps.

What would you add?
As a man,
▪︎ Wake up early whether you like it or not. Sleep is a luxury you earn.
▪︎ Cut porn. It's frying your discipline and making you soft.
▪︎ Lift heavy weights 4 to 6 days a week. Track numbers. If they're not going up, you're lying.
▪︎ Eat boring food. Same meals. Protein first. Pleasure later.
▪︎ Stop explaining yourself. Explanations are for people above you.
▪︎ Learn one high-income skill and go all in. No backup plans. Backups make cowards.
▪︎ Kill useless friendships. If they don't push money, discipline or growth, they're dead weight.
▪︎ Get comfortable being alone. Loneliness is training, not a problem.
▪︎ Read contracts, finance, power, psychology. Fiction won't save you.
▪︎ Build an emergency fund. No one rescues grown men.
▪︎ Stop chasing women. Build a life that attracts them accidentally.
▪︎ Control your temper. Emotional men get manipulated.
▪︎ Dress clean and simple. No logos. No noise. Let silence flex.
▪︎ Learn to say no without guilt.
▪︎ Track your time like money. Wasted hours are stolen years.
▪︎ Fix your posture. Weak body language bleeds into weak decisions.
▪︎ Quit alcohol if you can't control it. If it controls you, it owns you.
▪︎ Learn how to fight or learn how to run fast. Ideally both.
▪︎ Pay your debts aggressively. Owing money kills respect.
▪︎ Keep your mouth shut about plans. Execute first.
▪︎ Accept that no one cares about your struggles. Act accordingly.
▪︎ Build something that pays you while you sleep. If not, you're replaceable.
▪︎ Call your parents. One day you won't be able to.
▪︎ Stop waiting for motivation. Operate on schedule.
▪︎ Become physically dangerous but mentally calm.
▪︎ Respect yourself so hard the world has no choice but to adjust.
That's it. No inspiration. Just work.
Some facts you need to know;
1. YOU CAN’T POOP IN NEW PLACES: Your brain’s guarding you in unfamiliar territory.

3. YOU FEEL A POP IN YOUR EAR WHEN SWALLOWING: Your Eustachian tube opens to balance pressure & protect your hearing.
4. YOU FEEL SLEEPY AFTER CRYING HARD: Crying dumps stress hormones & floods oxytocin to calm your body down.
5. YOU GET GOOSEBUMPS FROM MUSIC: Your nervous system syncs emotion & sensation.
6. YOU PEE MORE WHEN IT’S COLD: Cold makes your blood vessels tighten & your kidneys make more urine.

Share another random fact in the comments...
ONE MISTAKE CAN DESTROY YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
• Never give your phone to a stranger to make a call.
One call can connect your number to fraud, drugs, or extortion.
• Never book a cab, ride, or delivery for someone you barely know.
If something goes wrong, your account is the first thing police trace.
• Never carry bags, boxes, or packages for anyone.
You are not being kind. You are being used without knowing it.
• Never agree to just hold something for a minute.
That one minute can turn into years behind bars.
• Never transfer money on behalf of someone else.
It does not matter if it was a small amount. That is money laundering.
• Never share your ID, OTP, or bank details with anyone.
It takes seconds to commit a crime in your name. It takes years to clear it.
• Never sign documents you have not fully read.
Your signature makes you responsible whether you understood it or not.
• Never let someone use your SIM card or bank account.
Even once. Even for a day. Even for someone you trust completely.
The NGX is effectively the home of illiquidity.
We have listed companies that struggle to exchange even 1 million units of volume in a whole week.
I’ve broken them down into three categories of pain:
1. The Illiquid: Your regular bellwethers like Dangote Cement, Nestle, BUA Foods, Berger Paints, and CAP. They sometimes hit 1M+ volume weekly, but it's irregular. Selling isn't impossible, but you might sweat a little before your order fills.
2. The Super Illiquid: Companies like Airtel Africa, Seplat, Enamelware, and Infinity. It takes a while to get in, but it takes way longer to get out.
3. The "Terribly" Super Illiquid: Briclinks Africa and Geregu Power. For these, you literally need divine intervention to sell. They trade zero volume for ages. I honestly don't know how they are still listed.
Which category did I miss? Add yours
First, snakes are relatively weak animals. Once they come up against stronger animals, they die easily. I can list different animals that you won't expect to kill snakes, given their stature, but who kill snakes regularly. Mongooses, honey badgers, secretary birds, hedgehogs, possums and so on.
26 things to do before the year 2026
1. Delete numbers you have been meaning to delete.
2. Archive or delete yourself from old/directionless WhatsApp groups.
3. Clear out your wardrobe, if you've not worn it in several years, let it go.
4. Buy something good, new, and expensive for yourself without feeling guilty. You've worked hard for this.
5. Audit your network and stop chasing people. If they want to be friends with you, believe me it will be seamless. Friendship should not feel forced.
6. Say No often and stop explaining your No. It's a complete sentence. No means No.
7. Say I love you more. Say it to your spouse, your children, your siblings, let the people you love know while they're here.
8. Book a health check. Schedule a dentist appointment, prostate exam, and get a Pap smear or mammogram. Also, consider seeing an optometrist.
9. Pay attention to how people treat you. Action truly speaks louder than words.
10. Dress up and get a good headshot /photo for you.
11. Audit your social media accounts, unfollow accounts that don't speak to your values.
12. Conduct a personal financial audit. Where is your money coming from and where is it going?
Build up a rainy day fund. Remember the best gift you can give yourself is to be financially independent. Stay disciplined with money.
13. Start strength training and stay active.
14. Learn to fast and give yourself a break from eating.
15. Cut off people who irritate your spirit.
16. You don't need a 10-step routine for skincare.
Find what works for you. Stop putting too many chemicals on your skin.
17. Drink water, mind your business.
18. Sis, you are getting too old for situationships. If he loves you he doesn't need 10 years to figure you out.
19. Dear nephew and niece, slow down. Sit with yourself and ask what exactly you want to do with your life. Don't waste your youth.

HR: "We can't offer the salary you're asking for."
Most candidates continue to answer:
❌ "Oh okay..."
��� "Any amount also can..."
❌ "Other companies can give..."
Let's not do that. Instead of reacting emotionally or giving in, try a smarter approach.
Ask this one powerful question:
"I understand. Just to clarify, is the limitation because of a fixed budget for this role or is it based on my current experience?"
With this one question, you can find out what the real obstacles are.
After that, it's easy for you to negotiate more strategically.
If the problem is budget:
"If the basic salary is fixed, can we explore other benefits like remote options, allowances or maybe a signing bonus to help balance the gap?"
If because of experience:
"I see. Would you be open to revisiting the salary after 6 months based on my performance?"
Can you see the difference? From 'NO' to a solution-focused conversation.
If this helps, share it so more people can learn!
