It says alot about why most men resent women that they depend on.
I have been teaching these things for years.
I love that a young woman could break it down so intelligently.
Enjoy.
Go and ask any married man that is in his 50s and his children are still in primary school, what his biggest regret is.
He will tell you that he wished that he married early.
End.
NIGERIA UPDATE: 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐮 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐓𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐲? - By: Ugoji Egbujo - 13th December 2025 - Part 1
Before soldiers seized Cotonou’s state television station to declare Patrice Talon deposed, Benin’s democracy had already become a sham.
Talon entered office in 2016 bearing the hopes of the country’s poor. Benin’s democracy, then 25 years old, was stable but stagnant, yielding little prosperity. Talon pledged to a single term—unshackled from re-election pressures and the politics of longevity—to fight corruption and set Benin on a path to prosperity.
Talon, the king of Cotton, consummate multibillionaire businessman: the people saw him as a breath of fresh air. Weary of decades of fruitless stability, they swallowed his promises whole. He seemed too rich to steal, too shrewd for vanity. They believed he would run the country like his companies, with technocratic efficiency. Indeed, Talon soon turned Benin into his personal political enterprise.
Once Talon tasted power , he prioritised politics and elections over genuine leadership, every policy carried an ulterior motive. He began with a scissors to prune the political playing field. A small nation burdened with over 200 mostly moribund political parties needed reform. But by the time his party registration changes were complete, the opposition had been effectively liquidated. The new requirements were deliberately onerous and opaque, demanding endorsements only establishment-backed parties could secure. With the Constitutional Court in the custody of his personal lawyer, opponents found no justice. The national political pantaloons Talon fashioned had no space for for political diversity.
As parliamentary elections arrived in 2019, tension gripped the country. Only two parties—both loyal to Talon—truly contested. The election had been tailored to fit Talon’s dreams. The result was total capture of all critical institutions. An absolute parliamentary majority allowing him to tear apart and restitch the nation’s foundational frameworks from his bedroom. The Parliament and Judiciary were united in the blooming sycophancy, effectively ‘standing on his mandate’ like Tinubu’s lackeys. Global democracy watchdogs downgraded Benin. Protests erupted but were swiftly quelled with bullets. Talismanic Talon had been found out: a wolf in sheep’s cotton clothing.
This systematic closure of democratic space continued through legal engineering . Cold and brutal repression of the press and opposition voices intensified . Critics became dissidents. Protests were punished like treason. By the 2021 presidential elections, his major opposition rivals were in prison. One on terrorism charges. Another for money laundering and subversion. Talon “won” nearly 90% of the vote. Inflated figures masked abysmal turnout. International observers called the process “peaceful”. In Africa elections greeted by hopelessness and apathy are often ‘peaceful’. Talon had unified parties and homogenised politics through force and bribery. He was no longer king of cotton, he was king of Benin .
On his part , Tinubu was kingmaker before he became president . Hos supporters said he had a magic wand . But months into his presidency, some Nigerian political watchers were alarmed by Bola Tinubu’s style. Besides some economic reforms to maximize revenue gathering , Tinubu’s greatest achievement has been the destabilization of the opposition parties and capture of the opposition leaders. As governors and senators defect en masse to his ruling party to service his every whim, Tinubu like Talon is fast going from president to king. With the EFCC targeting opposition figures, the 2027 elections risk being similarly peaceful. The election observers will be too polite to name the void. Tinubu and Talon are two of a kind.

As send by people affected
am reaching out on the situation involving the 7 Officers and 4 airmen of the Nigerian Air Force who have been detained alongside their Lockheed C-130 Hercules aircraft since Monday in Barkina Faso
As you may know, the aircraft was on a ferry mission to Portugal when it developed a technical issue shortly after takeoff from Lagos, prompting a precautionary landing in Burkina Faso
Contrary to reports from the government claiming that the crew had been released on Tuesday to continue their journey, the team is still being held by Burkina Faso authorities. This is largely because the federal government has not yet reached out officially to clarify their mission.
The officers and airmen detained have no contact their families or any updates from the NAF and FG.
All that is required at this point is for the Federal Government to formally communicate with the Burkinabe authorities to confirm that the crew was on an authorized mission to Portugal and had no involvement whatsoever in the Benin air operations.
We are seeking suppoet to raise awareness and hold the government accountable so that prompt action is taken.
The earlier reports about their release by NAF is false they are still detained.
I am happy to provide further updates.

In all my years of relationship counseling, I always tell couples one truth. The moment your relationship becomes monetized, you have already failed as adults. A relationship is not supposed to run like an allowance scheme. Stop giving pocket money, upkeep money, or whatever name you call it, to your partner.
Pocket money is for minors. It is not for grown adults who are legally allowed to work and earn. When you start giving an adult pocket money, you turn yourself into an ATM and you turn the relationship into a business.
Do not date anyone who is not enterprising, who is not ready to work, and who cannot provide for themselves. Stop using money to buy love. It never works. A relationship is not a source of income. If she needs money every month, tell her to go and get a job and support her own life.
Get and stay healed!
