Sometimes I sit back and watch the way we treat each other in this UK, and honestly, I laugh. Not the full-belly kind. The tired kind. That laugh that lives deep in your chest because if you start unpacking it, you might never stop. Take how some people look down on care

The hardest part of healing is realizing you were addicted to chaos because calm felt unfamiliar.

Winning requires prioritizing outcomes over approval. The cost of being disliked is temporary, but the rewards of victory are lasting. If the choice is between being liked and achieving results, always choose results.

I don't believe in building houses solely for the purpose of leaving them to my kids. My priority is to give my child the best education and experiences possible, taking them to any level they aspire to, until the day they say, 'Dad, I’m a man or woman now and I can handle my

Honestly, I’d rather give my kids wings than walls. A house can’t teach them to stand on their own, but freedom, guidance, and trust can.

Money has a way of revealing people. Not through how much they have, but how they act when they think you do. Money is one of the few things I take seriously. Not out of greed, but respect. I know how hard it is to make. The hours, the pressure, the small humiliations that come

I left a London nightclub with a pocket full of cash but regained consciousness five months later in a hospital. That experience changed how I see life, money, and everything in between. I used to work different roles in London nightclubs. Washing cups, cleaning floors,

@CkanJohnson Even though the money is little, I don't just overlook it, especially when I will give account. Cos when you start overlooking, it will accumulate and scatter your finances.

The idea of getting locked-in and grinding to build skills for your career growth is so worth it and it is easier to do when you see it from this perspective: You only need to do this for about 3 to 5yrs and you will be all set. Understanding that it is not your permanent life,

The type of parenting I got, I can't say it was strict or soft. It was disciplined - No watching TV during weekdays. You come back from school, eat, bath, wash your school uniform or socks, nap or read anything in the library, wake to do your assignment and study. Then sleep.

Character is built in micro-decisions, not grand gestures. A child who learns small obedience quietly learns how to navigate life with responsibility and trust.

Children don’t have the capacity to fully process the weight and consequences of their decisions. Their impulses are mostly selfish and it’s not out of malice, but because their maturity is still developing. That’s why obedience and respect for authority are crucial at that stage

Afrobeat doesn’t ask you to think. It asks you to feel. The people who call it “razz” are just judging joy through an academic lens.

The razzness is the art. Those who can't appreciate that are judging a fish by its ability to climb a tree. It is a misapplied metric disguised as artistic refinement.

I see the point, but I’d look at the forex part a bit differently. The problem isn’t forex itself, it’s the mindset people bring into it. Most jump in chasing quick money instead of treating it like an actual career that requires skill, discipline, and patience. Whether it’s a

For young people that are 18-40, my advice is that you avoid Forex and gambling. It has an almost 90% fail rate. Focus on getting a skill. If you master a skill any skill at all, you are set apart from your peers and you will be made for life. Think about it.

Dear Nigerians in diaspora, As you are sending money to your people in Nigeria, remember to keep some for yourselves. With many countries changing their immigration policies, be preparing for the worst, in case your host countries become very unfavourable that you have to move

The gym after months off feels like coming home. Iron clapping, heart racing, muscles screaming. Nothing else in life hits quite the same. 😁

Otito, let me say something on this: Umahi's tenure was one of the best the east has seen. Not much different from the likes of Cross River's Donald Duke or a first term Fashola. Given the standards of leadership in Nigeria, he was impressive. But he was also very disposed to

From the day I was born till now, Ebonyi has carried the sad badge of being the poverty capital of the East. Perennially cursed with governors who have no clue what they are doing. And of them all, Nwifuru stands out as the worst; a mere lackey, a stooge dancing to Umahi’s tune.

Some people, in reacting to this video, innocently said: “you just haven’t met 9-to-5 guys with insane money.” But that very response shows how deeply degenerated our society has become. A job done within the ambit of the law; one that gives people a means of livelihood,
