And to add to that, even the whole idea and talk of legacy and all that, I feel, is often a futile and egoistic attempt to somehow outlive time. That legacy, name, and impact will be washed away by the sands of time as well. 99.99% of so-called legacies will be forgotten, just as the people themselves are forgotten. Eventually everything would be gone.

Out of the hundreds of millions who lived even 100 years ago, how many of their names are remembered today, let alone their legacies? The average human lifespan doesn't even register as a dot on the timescale of the universe—75 years compared to 13.8 billion.

Genuine altruism doesn't concern itself with legacy, because legacy, like life itself, is fleeting. Do good because it is good. Help others because it is the right thing to do, not because your name might survive a little longer in people's memories.

Just live your life the best way you see fit and do what you believe is right, not because of recognition, legacy, or the desire to be remembered, because those too will eventually vanish like everything else. Life is beautiful because it's fleeting.

Well said. Legacy shouldn't be about chasing immortality or recognition. The value is in the positive effect our actions have on others while we're here. Even if our names are forgotten, a life that made things better for someone else was still well lived.

This is a powerful reminder. Many of us spend years chasing survival and forget that time is the one asset we can never recover.
Focus from merely existing to living with purpose, impact, and intention. At the end of the day, what truly matters is not how busy we were, but the lives we touched and the legacy we leave behind. Well written.


But this philosophy doesn't fully fit the African reality. In developed countries, people can afford to spend time searching for purpose because many basic needs are already met. In Africa, millions are still fighting for food, shelter, security, healthcare, and quality education.

Telling a struggling father of four to focus on legacy instead of survival sounds good on paper, but survival itself is his legacy. Many Africans are not "preparing to live"; they are doing everything possible to stay alive and give their children a better chance. Before meaning comes opportunity, and before purpose comes stability.

First body but the vehicle was upgraded. Dem no paint am after the upgrade?

You see them speaking Yoruba language fluently you said they live their region to create insecurities. With the way they speak Yoruba language it showed they were born in Yoruba land

those people are not Ibo, they have strange concocted ibo names

Teelabo:
You people left your region to other region to create insecurity, yet you will be the first to be creticise. Kidnapping laws should be instant death penalty

they have achieved thier agenda. They have succeeded in making you believe what they want you to believe.

Over priced Oga.

800,000 naira Bro. No time

Nastrademus:
I have HND from the prestigious federal politechnic Nasarawa, and I'm fine been an HND holder, why can't they upgrade BSC to the HND status instead

anonimi:
In what way did they threaten the family? I must have missed that part in the OP.

you definitely missed that part. Now go back and read again. this time, read slowly.

FreeStuffsNG:
INEC voter's card is actually a public document.


The info on it is publicly displayed at polling units for everyone to see. In fact, it stays publicly displayed for weeks!

Nothing is special about it since INEC can publicly display same info so.

so anyone can login as Admin from anywhere at anytime to view the "public" page?

pharmagba:
The rich and powerful just used him to replace their child who committed a crime.
The prison service knew what happened just pretending

this is exactly what happened. That's why they threatened the family.

Kobicove:
Is this route commercially viable, how many Nigerians even go to Barbados each year?

Those guys are wasting their time. They want to use GEJ to feel relevant

Tjra:
Peter Obi's presidential ambition is officially dead. No one can tell me GEJ is not working for Tinubu.

when did GEG say he is running?

Dating na “make we dey look move.” You guys are just chilling, catching cruise, and seeing where the vibes lead. No promises, no pressure. If it works, fine; if it enters gutters, everyone moves on.
​Courtship na “intentional serious business.” This one is not for play-play. The agenda is strictly marriage. Families are likely aware, and you both are actively checking if you can tolerate each other's character for life.

I really admire the confidence it took to ask such a spectacularly pointless question.

In other words, the op is asking at what age should a man make money in life.

He is Fulani, he said it.

I will do absolutely nothing. I am a father. I will look for water and wash myself.

Master strategist is in control

Make una continue.

This is also good because more than half of the money would have entered a private pocket

marcusverum:
Before you propose to that woman, go and study her mother carefully.

Not her looks. Not her career. Not how she treats you right now when she is trying to win you. Study her mother.

How does her mother speak to her father? How does she handle conflict?
How does she age?
What is her disposition toward men?
What is her relationship with money?
What is her energy in the home?

That woman you want to marry is watching her mother every day of her life.
She is absorbing those patterns whether
she knows it or not.
What you see in the mother is a preview of what is coming in the marriage.

A woman with a bitter mother will become bitter.
A woman with a disrespectful mother will become disrespectful.
A woman with a strong, dignified mother has a template for strength and dignity.

You are not just marrying her. You are inheriting her upbringing.

Do your homework before you propose.

you are 100 percent correct. I learnt the hard.

Congratulations to them

What if he picks Kwankwaso?

If this is true, food don done.
First, the lady should ensure this email came from a number or mail that is traceable as an official outlet of the said loan app.

THEN SHE SHOULD PAY THE LOAN.

Now, go get a lawyer who likes to cash out. Sue them, and make una settle out of court for like #5million.

the type of loan app that does these things no dey play store or app store. No office, who you go sue?

I am not saying that VDM is a gentleman.

For lazy and the corn-fused readers, - according to the calculations in the post:

Keke driver take-home
Worst case: about ₦857 for the trip.
Best case: about ₦1,257 for the trip.

Bolt driver take-home
About ₦1,504 for the trip.

So the Bolt driver still earned more overall on that single trip, but the post argues that the keke driver can sometimes earn more per kilometre when the keke is fully loaded.
