...one needs "enough" money to be married and start a family, is part of what has kept many people unmarried. But from the little I've seen, you'll never have enough money to get married. Because even when it is enough, it suddenly becomes not enough again. And the cycle goes on.
...asked you to jump is capable of catching you. There's nothing wrong with asking the Lord for your children's school fees. Ain't nobody else you gonna ask that. Money is important in marriage, but it doesn't mean people shouldn't marry without it. I think the mindset that...
Two things:
A man should have a sense of responsibility and have a job before marriage. At the same time, he should be able to trust God enough to jump when He says to, even if the man in question doesn't feel financially up to the task. You should be able to trust that He who...
Stranger, I'm grateful for you. I don't know the fire you had been through but I see your scars. They're not beautiful, but I can tell you that they'd be worth it. You'd tell your stories to the coming generations and they'd admire your stubborn resilience.
I don't worship money, nor is it my greatest motivation in life.
My highest priority is to worship and glorify God. Everything else comes after that.
Matthew 5:14-16
One of the few things I’m extremely grateful for in this season of my life is seeing my sisters enjoy their time in uni.
I didn’t get to enjoy my time in uni, but I’m so so so grateful that I can give them that experience now.

Prayer in waiting,
Prayer when heaven holds your rain
In weeping and watching
The sorrow of harvest that delays
Hope is an anchor;
Wait for the laughter of the Lord
Your God is before you —
El-Nacham; He soothes you.
You don’t want to be popular without riches in Nigeria. Nigerians are cruel low lives. They’ll hurt you if they find out you’re not rich but still look good with prospects. The ones who do well may leverage on this in a bid to demystify you. Do what you must to protect yourself.
I learned from one of my international students that some UK universities have classification regulations allowing an Assessment Board to award a higher classification, known as borderline or discretionary classification.
This means that if a student's CGPA is close to a 2:1, such as 58-59% (equivalent to our 3.3-3.4 CGPA), the board can award a 2:1. I have a student who benefited from this. Similarly, if close to first class, such as 68-69% (our 4.3-4.4), they can be awarded first class based on overall performance.
I wish Nigeria had this to compensate students' efforts with borderline CGPAs.
