The calendar doesn't decide your direction. It simply marks the passage of time.
So rather than saying, "July, please be good to me," why not start with, "This month, I will show up with purpose. I'll embrace opportunities, overcome challenges, and make the most of every day."
"April, be nice."
"May, please be kind."
"June, be good to me."
"July, please be awesome."
On the first day of every new month, my timeline fills with posts like and they remind me of how differently perspective can shape our approach to life.
For me, a new month isn't something to plead with; you step into it with intention
I don't believe d days ahead become better becos we hope they will.I believe our mindset, our convictions, our words, & d actions that follow them play a powerful role in shaping what we experience
Islam obligates a husband to provide for his wife and children according to his means. That responsibility is indeed his. However, Islam does not teach entitlement, selfishness, or a lack of cooperation within marriage.
If a wife chooses to contribute towards school fees, feeding, accommodation, or other family needs, that is an act of charity, kindness, and partnership for which she is rewarded by Allah. The Mothers of the Believers and many righteous Muslim women throughout history supported their families financially when needed.
Saying, "My money is my money, but his money is for all of us," may be legally correct in a narrow fiqh sense, but marriage is built on more than legal rights. It is built on mercy, sacrifice, love, and mutual support.
A successful Muslim home is not one where spouses constantly calculate what they can withhold from each other. It is one where each spouse asks: "How can I help lighten the burden of the other?"
Rights are important, but excellence (iḥsān) is even greater. The strongest marriages are sustained not merely by what is obligatory, but by what is willingly given for the sake of Allah.
Notice her choice of words:
“My parents catered for me, fed me and housed me.”
She didn’t say, “My father did everything alone.”
That’s because parenting has always been a joint effort. Parents are supposed to support each other.
I’ve said many times that, ideally, a man should take full responsibility for providing financially for his family. I’m not advocating a 50-50 arrangement or shifting responsibility to women. Never.
But let’s be realistic. In today’s Nigeria, many men genuinely cannot meet 100% of a family’s financial needs on their own. In such situations, if a woman has the means to help, supporting her husband is ultimately for the benefit of the children.
If you insist it’s solely his responsibility and watch him struggle while you can help, the children may be the ones who suffer the consequences.
And if the pressure becomes too much and he breaks down, falls ill, dies, or abandons the family, the same money you refused to contribute may end up being spent anyway as a widow or single mother.
Marriage is meant to be a partnership.
Every Saturday, men marry their worst enemy with their eyes wide open.
What are you using your money to do for the household??
Why are you working? — for yourself or for the household?
Your kids got sent off from school cause your husband hasn't paid their tuition fees for the academic session, is that how you'll allow your kids to sit at home?? Some of you will pay and still collect the money back from your husband with interest. Are the kids not equally yours?? Are they not your responsibility???
You people will marry nonsense for a wife and come online to paint marriage black.
Mitcheeeeeeewww!!!
Florence Ifeoluwa Otedola , am shocked you made such a mistake because you hold 4 university degrees .
You graduated from king’s college in London in 2014 where you paid about £45,000 to £55,000
you Earned a Master's degree in Music Business from New York University in 2015 where you paid about $50,000 to $60,000 yearly
You graduated from the University of Oxford in 2022 with a Master's degree in African Studies where you paid about £30,000 to £35,000
And , you Completed a degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) in 2024 where you paid about £15,000 to £35,000.
Approximately, have used over £280 million to further your education yet you make a simple mistake as “am instead of I’m “.
I really hope it’s a typo, if not your education might be useless.

@oneman_official Wow!

Lied and still had the balls to use your instrument...wow
I think I agree with that person who asked if you flinged his fishes on the street before carrying your grilling machine
This sound so weird to be and funny that I had to read it out to my colleagues at the office ....it has formed our discussion in the last few minutes 😃😀😃
So this guy was relocating and decided to help his struggling friend by allowing him to stay in his apartment since the rent still had about 5 months left.
The agreement was simple:
‘Manage the place till the rent expires and move out.’
Fast forward to when the rent finally expired, the caretaker and the landlord’s lawyer came to inspect the apartment before collecting the keys.
That was when wahala started 😭
The house was practically empty.
No ACs.
No gas cooker.
No oven.
No water heater.
Even the wardrobes were gone 💀
The guy was confused because he genuinely thought those things belonged to his friend.
So he quickly called the friend and said:
‘Bro, the caretaker and lawyer are asking about the things in the house o.’
And the friend casually replied:
‘Ahh no na 😭 those things came with the apartment. He actually thought his friend left them for him.
Omo.
His jaw literally dropped.
This guy had sold EVERYTHING 😭
3 ACs.
Gas cooker.
Oven.
Water heater.
2 giant wardrobes.
Everything.
The painful part?
All the things he sold for ₦1.3m are now being valued by the lawyer at almost ₦6m.
Now the landlord is refusing to let him leave the house.
His options now are:
• Replace everything immediately
OR
• Renew the apartment for another year at ₦4.5m and provide all the missing items before the next tenant moves in.
Police are already involved.
He has signed an undertaking not to disappear.
Omo my guy entered debt just like that 😭
