Not touching the relationship too much. Hear me out.

I think people sometimes ruin good relationships by trying too hard to make them work. Every little disagreement becomes a crisis, every change in mood becomes a sign that something is wrong, and every phase of the relationship needs to be analysed. They are too into the relationship that they forget themselves.

Sometimes, you just need to let things be.

Let your partner be a person, not a project. Let them have bad days without assuming they have stopped loving you. Let the relationship breathe without constantly demanding reassurance that everything is okay.

Not every argument needs to be won. Not every disagreement needs to become a three-hour conversation. Not everything needs to be corrected. And not every difficult season means you're with the wrong person.

Of course, this doesn't mean tolerating disrespect, ignoring problems, or avoiding difficult conversations. Some things need to be addressed and some boundaries need to be enforced.

But there's a difference between nurturing a relationship and constantly interfering with it.

It's fine to love someone deeply, communicate, make compromises, apologise when you're wrong. Put in the work. But also learn when to leave things alone.

Sometimes, the secret to a long-term relationship is knowing that not everything needs your immediate attention.

Give the relationship room to grow. Give each other room to breathe. Stop trying to control every outcome.

Some things get better when you stop touching them so much. Just let it be

I created an AI Smart Glass to help blind people walk without a cane or a guide 👓
But this is not like the smart glasses people are used to seeing

Because this Glass combines AI, sensors, and GPS to help the user detect things in front of them, avoid obstacles, and know their location

But the most amazing thing is if the user gets lost, the GPS tracking system can help locate where they are from anywhere, and then send the location to the phone of the person taking care of them via WhatsApp or Email 📲

And now I am further developing it to a new level of AI + Voice, so it can speak with the user and also help them understand their surroundings

I have put the video showing how it works completely in the comment. 🎥

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden unexplained death of a healthy baby during sleep. About 1,350 cases occurred in the U.S. alone in 2024. Here are the 12 main preventive measures recommended by scientific bodies.

Most new parents still get these wrong!

1. This first instruction has single-handedly slashed SIDS cases worldwide by half.

One thing that deeply worries me about Nigeria is this:

Some dreams are almost impossible to achieve if you're born, raised, and educated here.

Want to become an astronaut? There is virtually no pathway.

Want to become a world-class professional footballer? For most talented children, the route is far harder than it should be because the development ecosystem is weak.

And there are many other careers where your biggest obstacle isn't your talent, it's your geography.

This is why some Nigerians have to leave the country, not because they hate Nigeria, but because that's the only way to fully pursue their dreams.

That should concern all of us.

A child's future should be determined by their ability and hard work, not by the accident of where they were born.

Nigeria has no shortage of talent.

What we're missing is a system that allows talent to become greatness.

My secondary school motto was "Work and Pray"

1. Diet, importanter!, as natural as possible.

2. Read to him or her as early as possible(6 months)

3. Age 1-3: "Help me to do it by myself": engross the child in the fine art of Montessori learning or find a great school that teaches Montessori style.

4. Age 3 to 5: "Help me to think by myself": Sensory skill development, number sense, reading using phonemes et al. Still I'd recommend the Montessori style yet again.

No screens, yet!!!

5. Age 6-11: "I can learn beyond my age": An average Nigeria school will try to limit them but no gree for anybody.

Choke them with challenges of their age and beyond.

Regardless of the subjects they will do at school, make sure these subjects are early introduced by you or a teacher: verbal reasoning and non-verbal reasoning( I will personally recommend that of the UK and Australia)

Invest in extracurricular activities especially those that will really be beneficial e.g: swimming, chess, coding, free play, etc.

Early exposure to global doings especially kids on spotlight helps a lot.

Find a way to make sure your child teach what they know either to you or a sibling ("You learn twice when you teach")

You will be tempted to pick their absolute spotlight subject, but please don't. Just watch and observe and around age 8 to 9, you will see some signs of what that child really wants to dip his or her excellence.

Once you find that thing ehn, invest in it like preparing that child for the Olympics: extra teachers, online classes, personal challenges with rewards, early exposure to competition around your area, state, and federal, and even outside the world.

While doing the above, check on their academics: if the child is on a streak of win in a school, change his or her school for a more challenging one to play again, and on academics, that's just the play.

Of utmost importance is their mental health, be available to make it healthy and please really make sure there is love at home.

Lastly, pray because you have really put in the work above but know that excellence is truly rewarded, medal or no medal.

[Doctor Of The Future™ @g_diets_]

That plastic container the woman at the buka just packed your rice into.

She scooped it from the pot, steaming, fresh off the fire, dropped it into a thin plastic plate, snapped the lid, and handed it over for ₦500.

The food was about 90°C when it hit that plastic, and the plastic started leaching.

Most takeaway containers in Nigeria are made from polystyrene or low-grade plastic. They are not heat-stable.

When hot food, especially food with oil or acid, touches them, the plastic releases chemicals into the food.

Styrene, Bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, and microplastics that are too small to see but still enter the body.

Styrene is classified as a possible carcinogen. It can affect the nervous system and the liver.

BPA is an endocrine disruptor. It mimics oestrogen.

In men, it may suppress testosterone.

In women, it may worsen oestrogen dominance, the same imbalance linked with fibroids and cycle disruption.

In children, it can interfere with development.

Phthalates disrupt hormones even at very low levels, measured in parts per billion.

They are already in the food before the first bite.

Every plate of hot jollof rice packed into plastic.

Every hot soup poured into a plastic bag.

Every hot moi-moi wrapped in nylon instead of banana leaves.

Every cup of hot tea in a styrofoam cup.

The heat pulls chemicals out of the plastic.

The oil in the food speeds it up.

The acid in tomato stew makes it worse.

By the time the food cools enough to eat, some of those chemicals may already be in it.

Glass, stainless steel, ceramic, banana leaves, and letting food cool before packing are not luxury choices.

They are safer choices in a system where food-contact plastics are barely regulated.

The container is not just holding the food.

It is becoming part of it.

Don’t forget to reach out for a well-structured meal plan on WhatsApp [phone]).

Stop talking about boys' mental health. Start fixing how you treat them.

Every time, during the International Day of the boy child, Men's day, father's day. You'll see several talks of mental health. How boys should pay attention to their mental health and blah.

Happy International Day of the Boy Child💙

A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord...."
- 2Kings 4:1

Death is certain, regardless of anointing. When your race is finished, it is finished.

As Christians, we are encouraged to mourn with those who mourn(Roms 12:15). However, we cannot mourn like those that have no hope because those who died in Christ, will be raised up again by Christ unto himself (1Thes 4:13-14)

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Extrajudicial Killing in Effurun

The extrajudicial killing of a young Nigerian Mr. Mene Ogidi, in Effurun, Delta State, by a police officer, is not only barbaric but also a grave violation of the rule of law.

Over time, human society has moved away from an era when lives could be taken without consequence. Through the evolution of civilisation, a fundamental principle has emerged: no one should be punished or deprived of life without due process and a fair determination of guilt.

Such acts inflict unimaginable trauma on the bereaved family and deepen public anxiety in an already distressed society. Nigerians are already traumatised by recurring reports of brutal killings by terror organisations across the country, and incidents of this nature - especially when involving state actors - only worsen that psychological burden and erode public confidence in safety and security.

In light of this, while the law must take its full course, I commend the prompt response of the police authorities so far and express confidence that they will pursue this matter to its logical conclusion. Such responsiveness is necessary to reassure the public that justice will not be compromised. I therefore urge the police and all security agencies to sustain this approach by acting with transparency and accountability. Furthermore, recruitment processes must be more rigorous, ensuring that only individuals of sound judgment and the right frame of mind are entrusted with firearms.

In the final analysis, these measures can restore public trust and uphold justice - both of which are indispensable to building a new Nigeria that is possible. -PO

@yaygha A good write-up. You play with words!

[HONITEL👑 @HonitelHQ]

Let me put it in perspective if you still don’t know how ridiculously bad and incompetent this government is;

The five naira note is useless.
The 10 naira note is useless.
The 20 naira note is worthless.
The 50 naira note can only buy a sachet of water and gum.
N100? Three sachets of water.
N200 can’t buy one egg.

How about the highest naira denomination?

N1,000 cannot buy bread.
N1,000 cannot buy sardines.
N1,000 cannot buy a liter of fuel.
N1,000 cannot buy a liter of juice.
N1,000 cannot buy a plate of street food.

So, for a poor Nigerian to be able to feed at least 2x a day, they’ll spend between 3-7k (note: I’m talking about poor Nigerians here). Let’s assume they spend 4k per day on food. 4,000 × 30 = 120,000 monthly.

Where do you think they’ll be able to see that kind of money, only for food?

Tinubu must go, and it shall never be well with all of you supporting this government. You’ll ask God for peace and prosperity, and He will forsake you. 🙏🏾
