Listening to Helen Paul resonate some of the things I have always believed in.
Please take care of yourself. Don’t hold grudge against anyone but live freely.
Keep your cycle of influence tight. Dont despise anyone.
Imagine if he had invested that N300k plus other monies he had been giving to her at just 24. By the time he gets to 30, with careful financial planning and discipline, he would be prepared to be a husband and father.
Let me repeat:
Your girlfriend is supposed to invest in you and make sacrifices for you, while you invest and sacrifice for the future of both of you.
But lack of patience and foresight and the love for toto is taking a huge toll on you young men.
And greed has taken a toll on you young girls.
A young man who is just starting life deserves to be in a relationship. It's how he would find his future wife and the mother of his future children.
It's not a period for him to waste scarce resources.
It's a period of vetting, cohabiting, helping each other, and living a prudent or frugal life..
Then he starts to build his life brick by brick while you, the girlfriend, support him, while he also leads you towards the right path and in line with your future goals and aspirations.
Stop all these transactional relationships you people are doing..
They're unhealthy, and they create unnecessary entitlement, lack of focus and misplaced priorities.
You should have sex if you want.
But sex should not be sold in your relationship.
He would always spend on you, but it should not be seen as a compensation for sex.
How will he spend on you?
1. When you go on dates.
2. When you cohabit with him from time to time.
3. When he wants to get you gifts.
4. Then occasionally dash you money.
Not him paying for your rent.
Not him buying expensive phones, hairs, shoes, bags etc.
Not him paying for your school fees.
And certainly not him buying you sanitary pads or feeding your family.
And all his earnings must be legitimate.
This is what young people in relationships should practice.
Contentment, discipline, and reasonable financial planning and future ambitions.
By the time you keep at it, you'd be building a healthy relationship and setting the proper foundations for your future, and possibly, marriage.
You would have earned your place, and be proud of yourselves.
Make no mistakes; you will definitely make mistakes.
You'll fight, quarrel, and even curse at each other.
It doesn't have to lead to breakups.
As long as no red lines are crossed.
Use each fight, quarrel, or misunderstanding as a teaching moment.
Where you have to apologize, do so.
Where you have to be accountable, do so.
Where you have to be transparent, do so.
This is my gospel for you all, this beautiful wet morning.
End.
Don't apologize when entering someone's DM. It is open for a reason.
If they respond, fine. If they don't respond, fine.
If they respond well, very good. If they don't respond well, leave them alone.
Social media is a forum for socialising. Everyone will not socialise with you and that is okay. Fuck with who fucks with you and who wants to fuck you
Stop apologizing.
Chelsea, still remains the most complete club in football history.
League Cup, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, and FIFA Club World Cup.
Be careful of people who are always desperate to trend on social media, clout chasers who will say or do anything just to go viral. They’re like keeping a lion as a pet; one day it will devour you. Don’t keep them as friends, run far away from them or you’ll regret it.
The right time to choose an amazing life partner is now, while you're still finding your feet as a man. Anyone who advises you to "get money first" before pursuing the woman of your dreams may not truly understand what a good wife really means. If she loves you, she will stay without comparing you to others. She will not cheat or make you feel less. She won't demand things that will make you worried.
A real partner builds with you, not just for what you have.
Please don't marry a girl without knowing her mother or who raised her, because that's her blueprint, and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
If the person who raised her has passed away, ask questions about her. Leave no stone unturned.
A happy home is not difficult with a good wife; it's you who have refused to vet properly.
If you're a single lady above 25, these are what a man needs, or expects you to be doing, without asking him for money.
You can:
1) make your hair
2) feed yourself
3) load your phone with airtime
4) transport yourself to go see him
5) take care of your personal hygiene
End.
Men are truly amazing: loving, caring, understanding, comforting, reliable, dependable, and admirable. One or two bad experiences with a few doesn't mean all men are bad.
If we started listing women's flaws the same way, no woman would deserve genuine praise- because women rarely do good without some selfishness at heart.
