Son, invest in yourself before you commit to any woman. Buy land before you contemplate having kids. Learn a new skill. Build a support system. I know you'll spend more resources on your family and in-laws. It's understandable. Don't follow crowds. Call me any time. Love you son.
"I starved around people who have serious money, I never got mad at them for once, I got motivated because I knew their money wasn’t mine.
Heal from entitlement mentality, your successful friends and relatives owe you nothing."
Before you die, make sure your children won't be a burden to their guardians. Make sure they won't refuse breakfast just bcoz their bread is not buttered. Make sure they won't demand for transport money for a journey of 2km. Make sure they know God. Make sure they greet properly.
Stop complaining about fake friends. You’re old now. Go to work, stay at home, eat, watch TV, read a book and sleep. You will never hear that the fridge and the microwave were gossiping about you. -Unknown
Daughter, be submissive ONLY to a deserving man. Don't ask him for money or anything... he's supposed to be a Man by now; I never raised you to raise another overgrown boy. Never raise your voice. Silence is divine. Any threat from him is the same as action; come back home. Pray.
In your 20s you’ll party with your girlfriend. You’ll go places. You’ll post more photos together than any sentence with sense. You’ll announce “We’ve made it… Life is Good”. You’ll hope from bar to bar till morning. You changed your name from Sserubende to Salvado.

Son, once you get a job in your early 20s, use your salary to get a loan. Invest that money in 10 or 15 year Treasury Bonds. At 45 years you'll be ready to resign and move on. It requires sacrifice during your 20s. Let money work for you. Don't be an employee until you're 60.
Son,
Act broke around women. Be tidy. Don't wear designer stuff. Live simply. Don't search for love. Love finds you. Don't say much on dates. Don't please them. Don't bend till you break to please a woman. Don't do things you won't sustain. Just be authentic. Be you. Have goals.
Lord, it's me again, Kabugo. Now a year closer to the 5th floor. I thank You for the trials.
To my online family, you guys are awesome. To those who could’ve felt offended by a tweet or two, well tighten your belts; another season of Random Thoughts loading. I love you people.
l am that friend you don't need to impress. If you live in the worst ghettos, I'll visit you. If there is no chair, I'll sit on the floor. If there is no food, we'll manage. Your background won't limit my friendship provided you ain't faking it. I got you, if you got me. ~Unknown
I've learned that the best way to end something, is to let it starve. No response, no action, no altercations, just don't feed it. That's where the true power lies. ~Unknown
Son, unless you have a reliable support system, don't start a family in your 20s.
Your career and goals will be halted while trying to gazette a female yet your husband credentials are still lacking.
Connections won't be coming in fast since attention will be on your young
You are in your early 30s. You spent your 20s in a relationship that has left you skin and bone hoping for a miracle. You haven’t upgraded in all spheres of your life. You think you've finally won after a decade of fighting every female specimen you thought he liked too.
It's
Someone out there has done 20 job interviews with no success; he doesn't know where to start every morning. His spirit is so broken! Asking "Why me Lord?"
Someone out there is hospitalized but has no family or friends checking on him or her.
Loving Father do a miracle for them.
A man finds a lady. Buys land. Builds a house. They get kids. He takes care of their everything including in-laws. He doesn’t rest even on “big” days until his death. The very people he’s been taking care of, inherit the sweat.
A man works for everyone BUT no one works for him.
I know the pain of having no job.
I know the pain of things falling apart.
I know the pain of being uncertain of your next meal.
I know the pain of being stagnant.
I know the pain of being a laughing stock.
I know the pain of borrowing and begging.
I know the pain of having zero
Life will teach you its best lessons when you're in survival mode. It will teach you calmness in the midst of a storm. It will show you the real depths of Why-Me-Lord. It will teach you the difference btn gold and gold-plated friends. You'll rise up stronger. As for now, Survive.
If we date and you demand that I prove my love by buying you expensive assets or take you to exotic places as proof, you've already lost me. You can't manipulate me into financially elevating you to a level you can't afford nor sustain. I know a parasite & a user when I see one.
If tomorrow we never speak to each other again, protect what we shared. We are not enemies, we just picked PEACE over drama and DISTANCE over disrespect. ~Unknown
The real pain of death sinks in when all mourners leave after burial; And family members stay... staring into the wilderness, trying to find meaning to the whole emptiness of a departed loved one. Your family will mourn your absence, longer than everyone. Put your family first.
Heavenly Father we thank you for granting us another day and a new week. Waking up is never a guarantee. We thank You for your Mercy. May doors of opportunity open for those without jobs. Protect those with jobs from walking devils. May businesses prosper. Grant everyone hope. 🙏🏽
Graduates who want to start Post Graduate studies (5 points):
1. You've just completed your Bachelors degree and now you're planning to enroll for a Masters immediately; to master what?
2. Don't just enroll for a Masters just because the spelling resembles your Bachelor's
You better watch those people that bounce back from everything that was meant to destroy them. Those are God's people and they're not to be played with. ~Unknown
I thank you all for being family. Each one of you is worth my attention. You’re all noble souls. To the few I re-aligned, I only roar to re-assert boundaries. I would do it again. To those who found my posts worthy, I will keep cooking more throughout 2024.
Happy New Year. 🫡
What if the person you consider to be ignoring, you is battling with depression?
What if the person you call stingy, is paying huge debts with sleepless nights?
What if the person you make mockery for roaming the street is actually homeless?
People are fighting secret battles.
By the time mourners from your workplace arrive at your burial, a replacement letter shall have already been signed.
This is a reminder that no matter how important you think you maybe at work, don't forget your family. Your family mourns longer than your employer.
Make sure they do chores without being reminded. Make sure they won't throw tantrums. Make sure they wash their own clothes. Make sure they prepare meals for themselves. Show them the way, don't show them what to see. It's a tough world out here. Make sure they know how to pray.
...Social media has made us so eager to 'show and tell' but there is beauty in privacy. Everything isn't meant to be on display. It's perfectly fine to keep some things for you...
...Dear God, it's not easy but, I promise you that I won't give up. I have no idea what's happening in my life right now but I still trust you. Even though I don’t know where you’re taking me, I do know you’ve got me...
You've come this far not because you've got medical insurance, not because you feed well, not even your security detail at home! Your money can't buy you a century of life! You've come this far because God is Merciful. We Walk by Faith not by Sight. Be grateful for being alive.
If you're 25 yrs +, leave your parent's house. Relocate and build yourself away from your parent's comfort. Lower your value below that Bachelors degree. Once you do that, you'll discover more opportunities to do. There's magic in being a new-kid-on-the-block who can fix things.
1. Never allow anyone to manhandle the father of your kids like a chicken thief. Don't allow hate and rage take a front seat when dealing with family issues.
2. Never allow anyone to disgrace, demean or degrade the father of your kids.
3. If you send a father to Prison for
There's a 30 year old with 2 degrees, no kids, and he or she is expected to put their career and life on hold so that they take care of the entire battalion of relatives.
When maturity sets in, your intelligence will override your emotions. You'll tell yourself: “I’m too old to be doing this”. Maturity will allow you to question your own stupidity. Maturity will remind you to go slow on certain things.
Sit back and observe. Say less; you’ll hear more. Observe patterns in people and gracefully detach.
Avoid noisy people; the loudest drum has nothing but air inside.
Those who like you will like you; those who hate will hate you.
The only constant in LIFE is LIFE. It goes on.
People behave like they were forced into their Jobs. Receptionists are gloomy. Lawyers raise their voices. Health workers are less polite. People play Judas on each other. Misery in workspaces. Money has eroded values & character. It's now safer to walk your dog than meet people.
Son, no woman wants a man who fixes nothing. No woman wants a man who laments everyday that life is hard. Yes she knows it’s difficult but what are you visibly doing about it! Not even your mother finds joy in a broke adult son! She just can't tell you so. Fix yourself first.
The way your relatives treat you when you're broke, is the same way they'll treat your kids when you're dead. My son work hard outside there and build a strong background for your family if you don't want them to suffer in the hands of bad relatives. ~Unknown
If you've been lucky to get a job:
1. Don't compete with anyone at your workplace. That's not your father's inheritance.
2. Don't seek attention. Don't be loud. It will distract you from your goals. Your other hustles will collapse.
3. One day you'll go. Prepare for that day.
Call me once. I will get back to you at the earliest opportunity. Or send a text. Just don't call 100 times a minute! If the house is on fire, call the fire brigade. If it's a medical emergency, call an ambulance. Just don't call like am the only one remaining in the whole clan.
Why Black parents are no longer willing to take in other relatives’ kids under their roof:
1. Those relatives’ kids are like telephone masts; they broadcast everything back to the entire clan. We ate this and that; they pray a lot this side… Those ninjas know nothing about
We found strangers who believed in us, strangers who fed us, strangers who changed how we viewed life, strangers who lit our candles, strangers who gave us hope.
This day I am grateful to all strangers who became our support system. ~Unknown
One day, you’ll leave that office. Your "friends" only associated with you because of the position you held. Clan meetings will sit to discuss your deteriorating health, and all they'll offer are prayers! Your character is your lifetime insurance policy. Treat people well.
Daughter, don’t chase love in your 20s. I know you’re under pressure to exhibit that you’ve got a boyfriend too with bulging biceps. I know you’ve been lied to that every “normal” girl should have a boyfriend in her 20s!
Young Queen, your personal growth becomes stagnant because
Date someone who makes sure you elevate higher.
Date someone who doesn't choke your personal growth.
Date someone who calms your nerves.
Never leave someone in a worse condition than you found them.
At a given time in yout life, you'll go through a phase when you're nothing to many. Many will consider you not worth of their time. Every human goes through it. You've got to go through it to fully understand the meaning of resilience beyond its spelling.
A small salary is better than begging people. Don't trash small jobs just because you have a Degree or Masters. 80% of what you read in formal schools, won't put food on the table. Life will teach you the real lessons. Observe. Humility and Mental resilience will get you far.
Children spend more time with their Mums than with their Dads.
So elevate their mother so that your children shall have bigger dreams and aspirations.
The exposure of the Mum directly impacts on the ambitions of your children.
And never leave a woman worse than you found her.
"Don't destroy someone who has helped you before because of differences. If they're no longer beneficial to you, respect the days they have helped and supported you."
If I hustle and get blessed with dimes, I would never drive around throwing my money to crowds who won't even attend my burial! I wouldn't even wish to be noticed that I've got dimes. Only those who have unconditionally been there with me through it all shall get closer.
14 lessons from "How to Hug a Porcupine: Easy Ways to Love the Difficult People in Your Life.
1. Difficult people are a part of life. We all have to deal with difficult people, whether they're family members, friends, coworkers, or strangers.
2. Difficult people are not bad
Never plot to embarrass a human being in front people.
Never disrespect a human being for the sake of making another happy.
Never mock a person who's in a disadvantaged situation in front other people.
If a man doesn't have a job or an income, he has neither life nor liberty nor the possibility for the pursuit of happiness. He merely exists. -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
Young King, quit looking for love until you work on yourself. A broke man at 40, has no friends nor relatives.
How many have checked on you? Leave out those who are expressing interest in you. How many have checked on you because they care about you? Know your people.
I found a young man of 20 missing one full leg. He used to work as a Cleaner at a bank. He tells me that a guard on night duty shot him.
I made my own research and found out he was shot while intoxicated and disobeyed instructions of the security guard not to access restricted
In many organisations, being a high performer will only earn you more workload for the same salary. It's the reward you get for hitting targets timely and adding more value. High performers are rarely promoted. They can only be transferred to another station to make it better.
Some people console themselves saying it’s never too late. Some go ahead and even refer to how Colonel Sanders started KFC at 65 years. But do you know the Life expectancy in your Country!
In today’s world, you fall once, you may never rise up again. No one wants to associate
You realize that your parents were selective in which guests should be hosted inside the house & others in the compound! Not all friends are FRIENDS. Place people where they belong. Be unapologetic about it. People have dark souls with smiling faces. Protect your loved ones too.
10 Lessons from the book “The Courage to be Disliked” by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitake Koga:
1. Never compare yourself to others:
Life isn’t a competition, and if you see it as such, you’ll take other people’s successes as your defeat, and vice versa. Try not to spend so much time
If you love him, learn to understand him. Men go through things too. If you don't crown him, pick him up and value him, who else will?! Build your man up because there are hidden battles he fights. Don't be another fight he has to try to win. Be his peace. ~Unknown
A young woman has a alot of value. A young man has NO value. As a young man, you have to build your value.
Nature is cruel to men. Time is cruel to women.
It's rude to ask for a favour from someone you never check up on.
It's rude to check on someone because you need a favour.
It's rude coming in and out of hibernation to exploit people.
Don't think you'll pop up any day that suits you and expect warmth.
Invest in your network.
FRIEND: Receive this Budget for my Introduction Ceremony.
ME: Why do you intend to spend this much yet you're still struggling to feed your individual self?
FRIEND: From today I cease being your friend.
ME: I don't need friends like you. You can delete my number. Your choice.
When you meet someone who tries their hardest to stick by you regardless of how difficult you are, keep them. Keep them at all costs because finding someone who cares enough to look past your flaws isn't something that happens every day. ~Unknown
Remember this;
Life is about sacrifice. You have to give up something to win something. Nothing is free.
You’ll be alone in the most difficult time of your life. Difficult times times will make you wise, mature and fearless. You're on your own. First fix your mindset.
