Even if fuel gets to 5k per liter, I can still afford it.
But can I drive my car safely to anywhere in Nigeria?
That's why you should never gloat when very few of the citizens can survive a harsh economy.
If it's bad for you, it's bad for all.
That's why you're an idiot when you support the APC because you're benefiting from them.
You'd be the first victim from a failed government, because you have the money that the poor needs to survive.
No one gains anything when majority of the population live in abject poverty.
End.
LEARN NOT TO BE BITTER.
I learned something from my late mother, who was not a bitter woman and was quick to forgive. I saw my mother quickly make up with those who offended her, and it was remarkable.
She told me that I should never be bitter, unforgiving, or brood over disappointment. She said people will reap what they sow, as God is the ultimate judge.
I have used that to deal with my life, disappointments, and betrayal. Several people have let me down in life. My children, seeing the betrayal by some church members years ago, said: “Dad, knowing how well you loved and supported these people, what would you do if you saw them anywhere”? I told them that I would hug them. I said they were the ones who betrayed me, that the guilt was theirs, and that I would always love them. I meant it.
In life, if you are bitter, you won’t be better. Always be the bigger person. When they go low, you go high. God is the ultimate judge. He knows our hearts and intentions.
I found out that mature people don’t get bitter because they know anything can happen tomorrow. Look at the politicians. They don’t fight forever. They will have issues and make up with their opponents. It is their supporters who act foolishly by fighting each other. Politicians can move from one party to another.
I also found that any disappointment is a test of our maturity. Will you seek revenge, do a tit-for-tat, fight back, or walk in love with maturity? If you pass the test, you will go higher in life. It has worked for me a lot.
If you don’t want to limit your growth and advancement, walk in love, and you will gain the world, including those who hated you or betrayed you. I see you rise!

Good morning,
WAKE UP!
No one is coming to rescue you.
• Not the government,
• Not your friends,
• Not luck.
The life you want is hidden behind work, sacrifice, discipline, and consistency.
Today is another opportunity to move one step closer.
Get up and go after it.
📢Ageing isn't the problem — unpreparedness is.
Most people don't suffer because they grew old; they suffer because they ignored what mattered while they were young.
Build your own stability.
Don't anchor your security to your children, your partner, or anyone else. Save consistently, keep learning, and stay active. Financial and personal independence isn't arrogance — it's self-protection.
Stop draining yourself for others. Be generous, but not at the cost of your own life. You have a finite amount of time and energy. Spend them wisely — you can't pour from an empty cup.
Release what no longer serves you. Anger, guilt, betrayal, regret — the longer you hold them, the heavier the load. Some wounds only begin to heal when you stop reopening them. Let go and move forward.
Guard your inner circle fiercely.
The people closest to you quietly shape your future. Nurturing relationships builds you up; toxic ones quietly drain your peace. Protect your environment the same way you protect your health.
Invest in your health before it demands payment.
Move your body, sleep deeply, and eat with purpose. Your body is the only home you will ever truly live in and maintain it before it falls apart.
The bottom line
Old age doesn't create your suffering — it simply reveals what you built or neglected in your earlier years. Your habits, health, finances, and relationships are being shaped right now.
Protect them today, and your future self will thank you.
@AitreMao@kenkenlewu Nah..... I think it is more about mentality than financial background. We need to overhaul our mentality about relationships in this part of the world.
