As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him & established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving. - Colossians 2 :6-7.
When I was in SS2, a boy in my class always slept during lessons. Teachers called him lazy almost every day.
One afternoon, our maths teacher got angry and poured water on his desk to wake him up. The whole class laughed.
The boy didn’t say a word.
A week later, one teacher noticed his hands shaking badly and quietly asked him what was wrong.
That’s when we found out he worked night shifts at a bakery from 10pm till morning before coming to school every day.
Not because he wanted money for himself.
His mother was blind, and he was paying his younger sister’s school fees.
After that day, nobody laughed at him again.
Sometimes the people we judge the fastest are fighting battles they never talk about.
Relationships in Nigeria are insane.
Outside Nigeria, you'll see two 18yr olds in a relationship, working and pulling their resources together to do things for themselves. No pressure whatsoever, just two people loving each other and building themselves.
In Nigeria, two 18yr olds can be dating and one is expecting the other one to take care of her like her father would. Where does she expect him to get the resources to do that?
Some of you are not seeing how damaged the dating pool is. If you approach a lady for a relationship, the first thing she'll use to judge you is if you have money to give her. Not if you love her, not if you have genuine intentions or good plans for her future just money.
May God heal us in this country.
Create a fire picture of yourself. I will love to see the best❤️🔥

He is seated in a modern minimalist designer chair, wearing a sharply tailored black power suit with a structured blazer and a smooth black silk shirt (top two buttons open, no tie). The fit is precise and premium. His posture is relaxed yet commanding, legs crossed with effortless poise, conveying quiet strength and self-assurance.
The setting is a contemporary studio with concrete-gray walls and soft professional softbox lighting subtly visible at the edges of the frame. Behind him hangs a large expressive abstract painting of his own face, rendered in neutral beige, black, and charcoal tones, featuring bold brush strokes and subtle paint drips, and below is written the signature [insert your name]

omg!... I'm in love with myself!... let's see the best
Petrol is ₦1,400 today.
That was the first thing I heard this morning, and immediately I knew the day was already ruined.
I stepped outside and it didn’t take long to confirm it. Transport fares had already increased. The same route I normally pay ₦300 for suddenly became ₦500. The drivers kept saying the same thing: “Fuel don cost.”
Everyone complained… but we still entered the bus. What choice do we have?
Then it hit me — if transport has increased today, food prices will follow next. The woman that sells rice and beans near my house will soon adjust her prices. The market traders will blame transport, and the transporters will blame petrol.
But that wasn’t even the worst part of my day.
The heat today is unbearable. The kind of heat that makes you sweat even when you’re just sitting down.
So I rushed back home thinking at least I could put on the fan and rest.
But as usual, no NEPA light.
Just heat everywhere.
Someone will say, “Why not install solar?”
You check the price of solar panels and immediately close the page before you develop high blood pressure.
So this is my reality today:
₦1,400 petrol.
Transport fare increased.
Food prices about to go up.
Crazy heat.
And no electricity.
Sometimes it feels like we are just surviving one day at a time in this country. 😭
