Commitment cannot survive in a society that rewards quitting more than it rewards staying and rebuilding.
You’re telling them that no matter how much they sacrifice, provide, protect, commit, or invest in a marriage, if it doesn’t work out, everything they did can be erased with one viral post celebrating the breakup.
It tells men their years of effort meant nothing. That they were never truly valued, only tolerated until she decided she was done.
Then yall wonder why more men are choosing not to get married. If men stop marrying and instead choose to become baby fathers, yall will blame men for creating single motherhood.
But what incentive are you giving men to take the risk of marriage when the culture applauds walking away from it?
Marriage isn’t supposed to be built on happiness alone.
Happiness comes and goes. Every marriage goes through seasons of frustration, disappointment, conflict, and sacrifice. If your definition of a successful marriage is “I’m no longer happy,” then every marriage will eventually fail.
Social media has convinced too many people that temporary unhappiness is a reason to end a lifelong commitment. It teaches women to value convenience over commitment, feelings over responsibility, and validation from strangers over working through problems with their spouse.
It teaches that if a man makes you feel some type of way, the answer is to start planning your exit instead of trying to fix the relationship.
And before anyone says, “What if he’s abusive?” Nobody is talking about abusive marriages. Abuse, violence, and infidelity are different conversations.
We’re talking about ordinary marriages where conflict, disagreements, and hard seasons are treated like proof the marriage should end.
I got stranded one weekend and needed to make an urgent transfer, but Zenith Bank decided to misbehave. I called my girlfriend and asked if she could lend me the money, promising to send it back the moment my transaction went through.
She said, “I don’t think I can.”
I asked why, thinking maybe she had a genuine reason. She replied, “You know I don’t like taking money out of my savings.”
I asked again just to be sure I heard her correctly. She repeated the exact same thing.
I simply said, “Okay,” and ended the call. A few days later, I ended the relationship too.
It wasn’t even about the money. It was realizing I couldn’t count on the person I was planning a future with when I genuinely needed help.
Imagine keeping your virginity till the age of 28/30 hoping to marry a responsible man only to end up with a Dracula, an irresponsible woman beater.
The regret ehhhhjjj, your life will be filled with so much regret.
A woman once looked me in the eyes and said she would raise her daughters to enjoy their lives , because virginity doesn’t define a woman’s worth, and it is not a guarantee that you will marry a responsible man.
She now used herself as an example and said “look at me I married at 31 years as a virgin but look at me every day I’m fighting one side chicks or the other. That her husband sleeps with anything under the skirt.
You don't know how Nigeria dominates Africa culturally
You go to Cameron for example and see them wanting to be Nigerians. They mimic how we talk, how we sing and everything
Our songs dominate
Gospel songs even
Almost every Black African nation wants to be us
The saddest part of this story is that Nigeria used to be like these countries. Most Nigerians who travelled abroad in the 60s, 70s and early 80s never saw the need to stay
Our economy was good,currency was strong and opportunities dey
We cant forgive those who got us here😭
Worked with a black guy a couple of years ago who was constantly arguing with management and always in trouble
We were close, so I told him “why don’t you just tell them whatever they want to hear, then just do whatever you want afterwards” and it genuinely blew his mind
I should wait for chips to be down before you become responsible in the home? It is your father's chips that will be down.
I'm not that type of Igbo man.
The whole point of marriage is to do life together. From the very beginning to the end, we are sorting bills together. If chips wan fall, make e fall on two of us.
Never live your life trying to please everybody. It’s never worth it. The price is too high for the prize you seek.
There are people who will never like you. There are people who will never see the good in you.
You can walk on water, and some people will say it’s because you can’t swim. Essentially there are people you can never please, and who will never respect you, no matter what you do.
Don’t let it bother you.
Even jollof rice has miserable people that hate it. And you are not jollof.
Be yourself. Live life to honor God.
And never let the applause of people determine the path of your life.
Happy weekend.
Most men’s retirement plan is quietly built on the assumption that their wife and children will take care of them in old age.
This is dangerous because many wives leave or lose respect, and children often become distant or entitled.
A man can spend 40 years working for “the family,” but the family may not be there when he can no longer work.
My friend and him babe don start their album listening party.
"Listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me, listen to me"
Why GateKeeping Does Not Make Sense
We all know how to get a PhD
How many people are getting it?
We all know how to get a first class
How many people are getting it?
We all know how to post on YouTube for the algorithm to push our videos
How many people are doing it?
There are over 100 ways to become rich that is not hidden. People are not rich, not because of ignorance, but because the process is hard
If you select 500 people randomly and ask them to post videos daily on youtube for 100 days, I can guarantee you that only 5 will succeed.
There is nothing great that people do en masse.
Because great things are hard to do.
One recent example is the PewBeam app that everyone was cloning. Cloning was the easiest part, where are the clones today? Their metrics? Their growth?
Stop gatekeeping
If that thing you are gatekeeping is great, very few or no person will achieve it even if you put it on the news
When most women are tired of the marriage and want out, some become deliberately rebellious, disrespectful, disobedient, verbally abusive, and start denying their husbands sex, all to provoke him into reacting.
The moment he finally snaps out of frustration, she uses that reaction as “evidence” of domestic violence and files for divorce.
MEN PAY ATTENTION!!!😎
Caller: “My wife and I are both physicians in our 30s. We’re about $700,000 in debt, finishing fellowship, and about to start jobs that will pay roughly $900,000 a year combined.”
“We’ve spent 14 years training. After a year of saving and paying down loans, are we finally allowed to start living our life and buy a house?”
Dave Ramsey: “When do you start the new jobs?”
Caller: “Next month.”
Dave Ramsey: “So you’re about to make almost a million dollars a year.”
“You know how to delay pleasure. You’ve spent your entire life working and sacrificing for a future payoff.”
“I’m asking you to use that muscle one more time.”
“Live like you’re still in fellowship for one more year.”
“Clear the $700,000 debt before you buy the house, before you buy the cars, before you start celebrating.”
“You can make a million dollars a year with no payments and no debt. Finish cleaning up the mess, then go enjoy the life you worked for.”
Wife: Will you ever hit me?

Wife: Will you ever choose your mother over me?
Foolish man: No, never ❌

Learn from those who have been destroyed, or learn from your own destruction.
A hard truth for the japa season.
The visa is the easy part. The first two years after you land are the real test, when nobody knows your name and you are starting from the bottom of a ladder you already climbed once at home.
I have watched brilliant people arrive and quietly break in that stretch, not because they were not capable, but because nobody warned them it would feel like starting over.
So let me warn you. It will. Plan for those two years, not just the airport.
Come. But come with your eyes open and your patience packed.
