People will constantly attack you in life.

One of their main weapons will be to instill in you doubts about yourself – your worth, your abilities, your potential.

They will often disguise this as their objective opinion, but invariably it has a political purpose – they want to keep you down.

This type of 16inch KDK in 1980 Nigeria was between ₦25 and ₦35.

Why KDK was so popular in Nigeria?

Built to last: Those copper motors could run 24/7 during NEPA wahala and still not burn. Many homes had one that lasted 15-20 years.

The 3 blades and heavy motor gave real wind, not just noise.

Even with voltage fluctuations, KDK fans survived. Technicians loved them because parts were simple to rewind.

In the 70s and 80s, if your house had a KDK, you were "up". They were in offices, schools, churches, and living rooms everywhere.

KDK is a Japanese brand under Panasonic. Nigeria imported millions of them before Chinese fans flooded the market.

Not many people have the ability to stay in the pain long enough for reality to eventually bend.

The results (if they come at all), come after ridiculous persistence, public failure, chaos, overextension and years where outsiders probably thought the whole thing was insane.

The average age of a business founder is 45.

The average age of a CEO is 55.

The average age of a millionaire is 61.

You’re not too old. And it’s not too late.

The chances of you giving yourself the life you want is higher than outsourcing it to the generosity of a stranger.

[PortHarcourt Sailor @GodsgreatG]

There are some women who wait until they get married to a man before they show their true colors. And I think marriage shouldn’t be a trap from men. If she wants to make your life miserable, just walk out of the marriage. If she wants to go with the kids, let her go with them. Just make sure to provide for them.

Dear men, take care of yourselves.

There is an African Proverb that I love:

“A cat that dreams of becoming a lion must lose its appetite for rats.”

Meaning: To achieve greatness, you must let go of old habits that could hold back your progress.
