Here is the lady from the Joy Soap advert in the 1980s and 90s, radiant, admired, and unforgettable, yet now aged and transformed, looking completely different.
Her story whispers a timeless truth: beauty fades, applause dies, and nothing lasts forever, but the seeds of kindness, character, and legacy are what truly endure.

A THREAD 🧵⚖📚📝
I just saw this VIDEO of the Estate of Chief Razaq Okoya, Tinubu’s longtime friend and confidant.
Nearly about 80% of the edifices and spaces in the Estate are empty and rotting away, even while he’s alive. No one is using them.
This video will teach you an incredible lesson!✍️
Ndume Henry Ikeji and a UK doctor scammed a woman out of 2.5 million dollars but exposed themselves after their sharing formula failed.
Greed is a terrible.
This is how a Yahoo boy catfishing as a Dubai Prince was tracked to his house in Nigeria, his everyday moves, meeting Davido and all. He scammed a woman of $2.5m and started living large.

Here's How You Value Yourself As A Man;
1. Invited late - Decline
2. Not invited - Don't go
3. Be forgotten - Forget them
4. Used - Set firm boundaries
5. Ignored - Stop Approaching
6. Betrayed - Forgive and move on
7. Not Appreciated - Keep your distance
8. Insulted - Outshine them with success
9. Disrespected - Walk away with dignity
10. Underestimated - let your results Speak
Before “cinema culture” became the wave, Kunle Afolayan was already spending BIG and shooting films with international standard. The Figurine, Phone Swap, October 1, The CEO, Citation, Aníkúlápó; these weren’t small productions. He was among the early filmmakers that helped move Nollywood from low-budget CDs to premium cinema experience. That foundation no be small thing.
Funke Akindele’s success is massive and good for the industry, but growth no be one-person race. When one filmmaker wins big, the whole industry benefits. There’s space at the top. Not every success story must come from jealousy talk.
And make we no act like big box office started today.
Kemi Adetiba. EbonyLife Productions. Bolanle Austen-Peters. Lala Akindoju.
These people sold out cinemas with solid films without dance trends or TikTok promo. Story, structure, brand, audience loyalty, that formula worked too.
I wrote this when I clocked 50
last year, read and learn
50 at Last: 20 Lessons I Wish I Knew in My 20s
1. You’re Not Late—You’re Just Early for Your Time.
Comparison is a killer. Everyone’s clock is different. I gained admission at 30 and still made it count.
2. Poverty Isn’t a Mindset—It’s a System.
But you can learn your way out of it. Slowly, steadily, one skill at a time. Consistency over intensity
3. Read Books, Even If You Don't Like School.
Books gave me mentors I couldn’t afford. Some changed my thinking forever.
I'll recommend Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Hot to Sell to Nigerians by Akin Alabi, etc.
4. Learn a Skill—Any Skill.
Not just degrees. Skills open doors that certificates can’t. If you aren't tech-savvy, consider "hand works" such as plumbing, auto repairs, etc.
5. Nobody’s Coming to Save You.
Not government, not rich uncles. It’s tough, but it means your life is in your hands. Over dependence on people will strip you of your dignity, it will give you unknown enemies
6. Start Small, But Start Smart.
I wasted years chasing "big" moves instead of consistent small wins. Lessons already learned. Don't waste your time looking for a multi-million Naira deals - make do with the little ones around you and gradually build up your wealth
7. Keep Records.
Money, habits, ideas—track them. You can’t grow what you don’t measure. Keeping records shows you your wins and losses, strength and weakness - enough data to make necessary adjustments and grow
8. Don’t Borrow to Impress.
I did. Regret followed. Silence is better than fake wealth. Live within your means and save for the rainy day
9. Find Older Mentors, Even If They’re Not Rich.
Wisdom is hidden in people who’ve failed well. I ignored one so the most important piece of advise immediately after my wedding - it ended in premium tears
10. Learn to Sell—Yourself, Your Work, or an Idea.
Selling isn’t dirty. It’s survival. Whoever you are, learn marketing - the knowledge may make a huge difference between failure and success
11. Your Health Is Your First Investment.
Sleep, water, walks. I ignored these and paid with compromised health. Don’t.
12. Internet Isn’t Just for Fun—It’s for Fortune.
YouTube taught me skills school never did. The web is a goldmine. And absolutely free!
13. Jobs Are Temporary—Skills Stay Forever.
I did odd jobs. They paid bills. My skills built futures.
14. Build Relationships, Not Just Connections.
People helped me when I had nothing—because I was real, not transactional. I appreciate every one of you.
15. Don’t Be Too Proud to Start Over.
Starting college at 30 humbled me. But it built me. I learned from my younger mates, my story is incomplete without their contributions.
16. Document Your Journey.
I wish I had journals or photos from my my hustling days - commercial motorcycling, well digging, block making. Legacy starts with memory and keeps you humble.
17. Learn Basic Tech Early.
It’s the new literacy. I came late—don’t make the same mistake.
18. Save Something—Even ₦500.
Not for emergencies, but for discipline. Consider platforms like PiggyVest, OPay, PalmPay, etc
19. Speak Kindly to Yourself.
I punished myself more than life did. You don’t have to. Enjoy every minute and celebrate your small wina
20. Your Story Matters—Even the Messy Parts.
Because someone else is living it right now. And you can be their light.
A family called a priest after their daughter kept hearing strange noises and seeing objects move on their own in her room. A man named Jesus from Guatemala said his little girl had been crying for weeks, terrified of something no one else could see. When the priest arrived to bless the room, he said he felt a dark presence comingeS from the bed. He took a knife, cut open the bed nfer's rnom- wihat they found inside bift
to prove he wasn't doing any tricks. What they found left everyone in shock: a black bag with a small wax figure inside. People believe such things are often linked to witchcraft or curses.
