Do you ever feel like if you celebrate something too much, something bad would happen, like what happened to Tonto dikeh?

Since childhood I have always been reluctant to celebrate out of fear that whatever I'm too excited about I may loose it.

Reminds me of a quote credited to the Chinese Buddha : "whatever you cherish so much, you would lose". or something like that.

As a kid whenever the power comes on, and we should UP NEPA!! and start dancing my brother would say we should not shout so that they would not take it, and he was not wrong, e get how u go shout dem go vex take the light. maybe that is where my fear started from.

Am I alone?

We gather dey

i concur

Yeah I feel like that too, I have seen some people that are over existed about their success that was dead a minute later, so that is why anytime I have success or gain something, I will calm down and celebrate a little bit and rest my case and start another hustle originally you must continue struggle to make it in life...

My people used to say.

"What will be will be, don't be too eager to celebrate and don't be too eager to give up"

Peace.

Problem is not in the celebration, its in revealing an achievement before it fully happens.

Example, if you get a job offer, don't announce it until you've settled in after 2 or 3 months.
Making noise early can lead to issues

Plane crash, revoked visa, concealed drugs, poisoning, illness, etc can puncture this news.

Village people. But Christ has ransomed me from the curse of the law

What do you mean by celebrate something too much?


The idea that every of your life activities should be broadcast on a social media is what lead to their breakup... Even tho the leaked tape was really shameful, I feel no pity for Tonto....

If your father is still alive, buy an expensive gift, kneel down and ask him to bless you. Once he does with all his heart, whatever you do will be successful and the successes stay permanent. Since I replaced my dad's rickety Peugeot pickup with Hilux and he blessed me with tears in his eyes, I have grown so much that I once searched my cupboard for skeletons just incase I did ogwuego without knowing.

It’s all in the head, the day you shout up nepa wey dem no take light, you didn’t think that Haa I for no shout oo but the once or two times you shouted the yo nepa and they took it later will get stuck in your memory.
