You think they like you?
You’re the biggest fool I ever know.
It’s rare to find people who love you unconditionally.
Even parents have expectations for their children, and when those expectations aren’t met, the treatment can change.
Remember the people that came through for you. To see helper is hard. Some of you feel entitled to help as if you gave someone money to keep for you. But when they help you, you are not grateful, and very forgetful.
Be good to your friends. To have friends, you must first make yourself friendly. We talk a lot about bad friends, but are you a good friend? Some of you want to connect with only people above you. Have you been good and respectful to the friends at your level and beneath you? There is no class in friendship. You have a responsibility to be there for your friends and be an anchor of hope and safety for them.
Love your partner. Choosing to date them, imposes a responsibility to love and to cherish. Their heart should feel light because they have you in their life. You should always find new ways to love them and make their life better. To love is to give, so GIVE and keep GIVING. Do everything you can not to break the trust they have in you because trust is a fragile thing.
In every sphere of human relationship, there is an acceptable code of conduct and you don't breach that. I hope you experience the kind of relationship that works easily and humanely, where cruelty doesn't intercept the bond you share.
Cancer is a big problem in our society and it almost seems like anyone can get it no matter how careful you are, but you can also do some things to protect yourself and loved ones.
Cut down:
• Charred suya, the black bits, processed meat, sausages and hot dogs used in shawarma etc
• Mouldy groundnut, maize, egusi
• Reused frying oil
• Sniper-preserved beans, formalin fish
• Alcohol (shayo sweet but think about the long term complications) and smoking
• Firewood & generator smoke indoors
• Skin lightening creams
Also do this:
• Test for Hepatitis B and vaccinate if negative, biggest cause of liver cancer in our society. Test for Hep C too (no vaccine, but it’s curable now with treatment)
• HPV vaccine + screening for the women you love, the biggest cause of cervical cancer in our society, and a rising cause of throat cancer
• Grill beside the coals, not over them
Protect yourself. Protect your family.

To protect my family’s assets, Any child of mine who refuses to sign prenup before getting married will inherit nothing — Billionaire John Morgan
American billionaire John Morgan has revealed that all his children are required to sign prenuptial agreements before getting married, saying anyone who refuses will not inherit his wealth.
Speaking on the Earn Your Leisure podcast, Morgan explained that the policy is meant to protect his family’s assets and ensure his children enter marriage for the right reasons.
“Number one, 50% of all marriages are going to end in divorce. That’s just raw numbers. For people who marry after 30, it’s only 4%. Wait till you’re 30. Get it out of your system. Have your fun in your 20s.”
Morgan said he deliberately makes himself the “bad guy” so his children don’t have to bear the burden of demanding prenups from their partners.
“My dad is not going to leave us any money if he doesn’t get this prenup signed. I become the bad guy.”
He argued that anyone who rejects a prenup may be motivated by money rather than love.
“When you start asking somebody a prenup, here’s the first thing they’re going to say, ‘You’re just saying this marriage isn’t going to work.’ They’re playing you. I’m like, ‘B¥llsh+t, you’re looking for the money.’”
Recalling one of his son’s experiences, Morgan said the fiancée’s lawyer described the agreement as one-sided and requested negotiations.
“I said, ‘This is a take-it-or-leave-it document. There is no negotiating.’”
When the lawyer refused to recommend the agreement, Morgan insisted the wedding should be postponed if his son’s fiancée declined to sign.
According to him, the document was eventually signed before the wedding, and the couple have now been married for 13 years.
“If it didn’t work out, I didn’t want somebody going, ‘I’m going to take half of your sh+t,’” he said.
Dangote set to donate one-third of his $35.1bn fortune ($11.7 billion) to charity
Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, plans to donate one-third of his fortune to charitable causes as part of his succession plan, according to his daughter, Halima Dangote.
Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg, Halima, who serves as a trustee of the Aliko Dangote Foundation, revealed that the billionaire has already secured his family’s approval to dedicate 33 per cent of his estate to philanthropy.
With Dangote’s net worth currently estimated at $35.1 billion by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, the planned donation would be worth about $11.7 billion.
Halima explained that philanthropy has always been central to her father’s legacy.
“He sort of put all the structure in place whereby we focus a lot on health and education. He actually donated 25 per cent to the foundation. If you look at it, it is what we call in Sharia Code in Islam; it means he has donated 33 per cent of his whole inheritance to his foundation,” she said.
She added that the arrangement was designed to ensure the foundation’s work continues for generations. “That is how important it is to him because philanthropy needs to be in existence generation after generation.”
According to her, Dangote personally asked his daughters and mother to endorse the will.
“He asked myself, my two sisters and his mother to sign under that will that he is able to give that 33 per cent to humanity.”
“If I had to start afresh with ₦0.00, I’ll open a car wash; wash 40 cars daily with quality omo, that’s 40k daily, ₦1.2M monthly. Then hire boys, pay them 50% per wash, that’s ₦6M a month, then open branches, and start selling trucks of tomato and onions.”

“I was in church and there was this guy sitting beside me and was giving me this vibe. It was time for offering, this guy didn’t make attempt to pay for my offering. After church this guy had the mind to ask for my number. Why didn’t he pay for my offering first?”
