RIP Oke. You were the best friend. The best mentor. Thank you for being my friend. I'm blessed to have known you. I can't believe this. I'm so heartbroken. I feel like a part of me is dead. You were always there for me man. I love you forever bro.
My man: *mentions something he likes in passing*
Me: *acting nonchalant about it while checking my account balance to see if I can do something about it*
I want to buy a new wig. But I also want to buy gorgeous dresses. But I also want to buy cute jeans. But I also want to get nice jewelry. But I also want to get lovely perfumes.
God abeg.
“This person blocked me and I’ve never interacted with them before. Why?”
Some of you tweet nonsense and vile things and we’re just trying to block the chances of ever having to actually interact with you 🙏🏾
The point of friendship - in most cases - is to be surrounded by people who have the same core values as you.
You have every right to cut off people who don’t have the same or similar core values.
A very strong stance, but not an absolute:
If you BLOCKED your FRIENDS because of a dissenting opinion, you have dictatorship tendencies. You only want democracy as along as it suits you.
It's nuanced but I'm willing to put it to the test.
People are extremely materialistic but that’s not where the problem is.
Where it becomes a problem is when you expect others to fund that “lifestyle” for you when you can’t even fund it yourself.
Even worse when you’re condescending to the people who can’t fund it for you.
Random, but the thought of having to dance into the hall at my wedding is stressing me (as someone who can’t dance at all).
Can’t I hoverboard in or be carried in or something?
Hate how some people will see people in love and will now comment “It’s because the relationship/marriage is still new. I give you 2 years.”
What kind of bad vibes are you?
These are the same people that’ll ask, “Why did this random person block me when we’ve never interacted before?”
It’s because of things like this.
It’s called blocking bad vibes ahead before it even gets close.
Oke's family didn't just lose him. Their house was set on fire and they lost everything they own. Please if you can donate to help them out, please please do.
Retweet please

If you love yourself and your sanity, avoid buying anything from these guys on instagram.
If possible, block them so you don’t order by mistake. Tell your friends and family 🫶🏾
Why? I’ll thread the reasons 👍🏾
I’ve got a friend looking to hire a *really really good and solid* Product Designer.
Pay is 400-500k.
If you’re interested, reply with your portfolio. Don’t dm me.
PS. This is NOT a junior role.
The thing that stresses me out about some Christians is how they say something so distasteful and mean-spirited and then when people rightfully react to it and confront them, they hide under “Jesus was persecuted for speaking the truth.”
Gm guys.
As you go about your 15 hour work day, remember:
Listen to podcasts instead of music. Music is a waste of time. Build your mental capacity instead. Wagmi 🚀🚀🚀
I refuse to live my life for work or for the never ending quest to be super wealthy and successful.
I simply want to do great work, be comfortable, happy and have the best time with all my favourite people.
I genuinely find it so hard to accept that people are just wicked. How? Why?
In my head it’s like there has to be a reason. Mental illness maybe? Something?
Cause how do you just choose to be horrible?
I don’t think I can ever understand it.
Think I stopped opening up to my friends when one of them said, "Oh. Lol. That's what's bothering you?" after literally begging me to say what was going on with me.
Btw, you guys should go for the Sunday Buffet at Corniche Bistro.
Corniche is one of my favourite restaurants in Lagos. The food is consistently sooo good. I 100% recommend.
The buffet is 25k per adult and it comes with a cocktail/mocktail.
If you're tired of the usual Lagos house hunting and are also interested in the idea of shared apartments, please like this tweet or reply.
