One conviction I hold strongly is that the greatest gift a parent can give a child is healthy self-esteem. Skills can be learned, opportunities can come and go, but believing you have inherent worth and the confidence to engage the world shapes almost everything that follows.
You can’t negotiate your way out of a feeling that needs to be felt. We treat sadness like a puzzle that needs to be solved before midnight. But emotions aren't asking for solutions, they are just asking for space. Learn to be a host to your emotions without giving them the deed to your house. Sit in the fire. Let it burn through the dead wood. Tomorrow you will wake up with ashes, but you will still be standing.
Private equity is when wealthy individuals or investment firms buy companies that are not publicly traded on the stock market, improve them, and later sell them for a profit.
Here's a simple example:
Imagine a bakery is worth ₦10 million, but it is poorly managed.
A private equity firm buys the bakery.
They hire better managers, expand to more locations, reduce unnecessary costs, and increase profits.
Five years later, the bakery is worth ₦50 million.
The firm sells it and makes a profit.
Think of it like this:
Private equity is like buying an old house, renovating it to make it more valuable, and then selling it at a higher price.
The difference is that instead of houses, private equity firms buy and improve businesses.
You need to see the joy on olodos' faces when a very academically sound person doesn't succeed in life. They relish it. It's almost as if it gives them more reasons to talk down on education and intelligence.
When we were graduating, after I finished as the top student in my class, many of my coursemates were really eager to see how I would turn out. In fact, I would always hear them gossiping: "No be by Best Graduating Student. To make am for life no be by acada. Street na military. We go see."
I'm glad I turned out really well. Even most of those who went to Ghana for "updates" after school and eventually resorted to fraud can't measure up to my accomplishments. Till today, many of them still randomly call me and jokingly ask, "Senior man, you just dey chop dey go. You no wan give men update na!"
Deep down, they genuinely believe I must be secretly involved in fraud. This is the society we live in, where many young people have come to believe that you can't succeed legitimately, and that every young man who is doing well for himself must be involved in fraud. Even many elderly people and police officers aren't exempt from this line of thinking.
I haven't seen a country that is trying so hard to make education unattractive like ours.
"School na scam."
"No be by BSc. You get BTC?"
"Education is the key to success. Oya, use the key start Benz na 😂."
"Lecturer pack 1999 Camry, student don pack Lexus beside am."
If we continue this way, in a few years, there will be nothing left of our educational system. We are so money-centred that we don't even realize education can be an end in itself and not necessarily just a means to an end.
Everything has become, "How much do you have in your account?" or "Use your intelligence buy Benz na."
This is one of the reasons it really hurts me to see highly intelligent and brilliant people end up poor. I'm always rooting for academically sound people to succeed because I genuinely want people, especially young people, to see that you can make it legitimately through hard work and academic excellence.
Any society where only the olodos become financially successful while the brighter minds, the ones who believe in due process, continue to struggle is a society that is bound to fail.
Most people judge clothes on Temu by the photos.
Big mistake.
The fastest way to avoid buying clothes that feel like cheap plastic is to ignore the pictures and read the Fabric Composition.
Here's a simple cheat sheet:
Avoid (unless blended well)
• 100% Polyester
• 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex
• Cheap synthetic blends
Run away.
These are usually thin, shiny, trap heat, build static, and often feel like swimwear instead of actual clothing.
Look for
• Modal (extremely soft)
• Combed Cotton
• Ring-Spun Cotton
• 100% Cotton
• Viscose/Rayon (soft and smooth)
If you're shopping for specific items:
Jeans:
Search "100% Cotton Denim", "Heavyweight Denim", or "Rigid Denim".
Dress shirts:
Search "Oxford Cotton", "Cotton Poplin", or "100% Cotton Dress Shirt".
Jackets:
Search "Heavyweight", "Fleece Lined", or "Wool Blend".
Vintage clothes:
Look for Corduroy, Heavy Knit, or Washed Cotton.
One last trick that saves me money every time:
Never trust the product photos.
Go straight to the reviews, filter by "With Photos", and look at pictures uploaded by real buyers. That's where you'll see what the fabric actually looks and feels like.
Also look out for promos, you can get stuff for cheap and free packages for a cheap price.
Hope this helps once you understand your size, body, texture or material you're good.
You know we are doomed academically when:
1. The Best Graduating Student is awarded a cash gift of 10,000.
2. On this app, if your writing is exceptionally good, the first thing that comes to people's minds is, "It was written by AI." As a writer, you'll sometimes come across a post that, to you, is just a normal, everyday piece of writing, yet you'll find people in the comment section arguing that it was AI-generated. Whenever they see good writing, many people no longer believe it's possible for a human being to have written it. That is one of the greatest academic dangers we face today.
3. You can ask people the simplest questions, and they can't answer without Google. Basic information that they should know, they don't, and they don't even care. These are the same people who can't reply to a one-line tweet without using ChatGPT.
4. You simply tweet that you've never engaged in examination malpractice in your life, and 98% of the people in the comment section confidently tell you that you're lying because, to them, examination malpractice has become the norm.
5. People can't even read anything longer than two lines. "Sorry, I ain't reading all that." If you want to hide anything from the average Nigerian, just put it in writing. Libraries are becoming obsolete. People no longer visit them to read, and it's not as though they're reading e-books either. We are witnessing the death of reading culture. Someone once told me in January, after I shared my reading list for the year, that he doesn't like reading because it is utterly useless to him.
6. A country where there is little or no distinction between many graduates and an illiterate.
If we continue this way, with this level of academic decline, in a few years we will be completely enveloped by what can only be described as an "Olodo takeover.”
The best thing to do when your friends are going out and you have no cash is to stay home. Some people can be cruel when they know you are depending on them. I understand there are kind people but don’t intentionally put yourself in a situation where people will have power over you.

My husband and I were at a dinner last night with some close friends and we were discussing feminism and more specifically the “Grape Academy” and the male counterpart said he didn’t align with my statement that all men are dangerous to which my husband promptly and immediately stepped in and said. “We don’t know which shark might bite us if we swim with sharks either. Women know it’s not ALL men. The issue is they don't know WHICH men.”
Men. THIS is how. Take notes.
Also, no one owes you an explanation for why they don’t want children. The entitlement to demand ‘valid’ reasons why people don’t want children is wild.
The only word I picked from the movie “The polygamist” is “Aibo!”😂
I love the sound of it if it’s coming from Joyce😂 You just know Jonasi has caused another trouble or say something diabolical.
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
i am begging some of you to become ok with hearing not-so-great-things about yourself. especially if it is coming from a loved one that historically respects your agency. chances are you unknowingly crossed a boundary & someone is trying to tell you in a respectful way.
Marriage is hard work.
Hard work here means two people building something together with intention, patience, and love.
Hardwork is not one person destroying and the other enduring.
Stop normalising suffering and calling it devotion.
I cannot overemphasise this! It’s books. It’s not podcasts, not movies, but BOOKS!
You HAVE TO read! It engages your brain in a unique way. Your imagination comes alive, your curiosity is inspired, and your use of grammar is sharpened! You MUST read!!
A moving woman will eventually understand feminism.
It is sacrosanct to your self actualisation that you see yourself worthy of the highest form of respect as a human being and not anything less because you’re a woman.
Again, a moving woman WILL learn feminism.
Please if you’re inviting me to your wedding, please warn your MC!
All these yeye wedding games that involves billing, Avoid it please. What do you mean, bridesmaids should come and collect my shoe, then I’ll use 200k to bail the shoe! How much is the shoe in the first place?
I find it hard to respond when people ask me what my personality is, I don’t think I have one. I don’t fit into one box, I am anything and everything depending on the condition.
There are truths i once swore by and now I have totally different opinions, I once thought I was introverted until I realize it was because I was broke.
I am an extrovert when I am around people I love, I love loud spaces, I love quiet spaces, I love kids, I get tired of them too, I love all type of food and I love to spend time alone, yet I love to spend time with my people.
I just want to live freely and happily, I want give and take and be pampered and pamper others.
I want to live without the fear of death
