What’s one lesson you learned as a child that still guides your life today?

Always guide what you consume ( what you put in your mouth )

Always have alternate plans In whatever you do in life.

don't put all your eggs in one basket, don’t risk everything on the success of one venture

Always have plan B, C and D In your career, business, relationship

That has really guided me through life

One foot in front of the other. 🚶‍♀️

Never trust anyone 💯

And as a stutterer, I've always been known to be doing most of my stuffs myself,cuz the time I'd spend trying to speak,I would have done what I'd be telling someone to help me do..

Courtesy of my late mom.

When I was a child, I lived carefree as a child.
So, I don't remember much.


Then again, here's one: give unexpectedly, and you will never be forgotten.

Never depend on anyone.
Love all but trust few.
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.

I learnt that not all my wishes will come to pass, so I brace up for eventualities.

The love of learning.

No man is a god over another man unless that another man chooses to make a god out of him.

Stop having sex with a woman you are not married to

I'm Yoruba and I have remained with my dad's key word, RANTI OMO ENI TI IWO N SE


Remember the son of whom you are.

He drinks, he smokes, he is fatherly

I am all of that.

The table always turns. Some families that were not doing so well when we were kids are the ones doing big things now. Be humble.

Don't join the crowd without thinking to do anything..
Think, rationalise, decide, then make up your mind to follow or not. But don't just do anything because others are doing so. I was arrested for the first time in secondary school just because I followed some. friends for an outing that went south...

Learnt a lot quickly from that..

Watching alcohol get the better of my Dad. That sheet ruined him completely. A very loving, caring and lovable man but alcohol was his achilles heel.

So I decided from a very young age that I will become 100% sober and that I will also never give any addiction a chance.

Today, I don't taste alcohol at all, even if its 1%. And I'm also not addicted to anything.

When I was a kid I loved everyone. I thought everybody were angels until my military dad put sense into my head. He taught me never to trust everyone. Today that advice sticked to me.

Dont be addicted to anything at all.

I actually learnt these ones this year

1. God is not in hurry, my/, your problem is not not his problem and it's not affecting him at all.
2. He has created all things for his pleasure, nothing troubles him,as long he's concerned, everywhere is Good no Matter who's in pain .

3. He planned everything, he's aware of everything happening and he allows it, in my opinion all that's going on in the world are source of entertainment for him

4. Satan isn't actually his enemy. Everything happening na Arrangee work that doesn't.mean that he is wicked Oo, he's just allowing things happen the way it's happening for his own pleasure and glory .

5. What matters most to God is his pleasure and his glory.
6.God does his things the way he wants to do it when he wants to ,It's all about his choice his plans and desires. And there is nothing anybody can do about it.

7.If you like don't believe in him,hate him,say all sorts of bad things about him, just remember that judgment dey is coming , he's not emotional remember? He hardened the heart of Pharaoh so that he will show his power, at the end Egyptian First born where all killed , A man was born blind so that his name maybe glorified, remember how he wiped the whole world with flood saving only Noah and his family. You are nobody , you better know that


At the end he created hell Fire where he will punish satan and some human beings.
Even if you argue,ask questions, become angry with him at the end he's the one that allows either good or bad things happen to you for the reason best known to him.

What I have decided to do

To be in his side,coz whatever he decides is good,I remind him everyday that am in support of what he's doing,i praise, worship him everyday and will continue to do that all the days of my life on earth.

That money is like a visitor.
If u give it chair it will sit but if u refuse to give it chair, it will go.

Don't underate anybody.

As a child, I saw people who carry first in class then struggling to feed.

Now as adult, na those at the back of the class be big boys now.

no be everybody go make am

Avoid kurukere waka!
Who nor waka nor see trouble!

Do not fight when there is nobody to separate you

you go kpai one day

more characters needed

I no learn anything oo. i forget my childhood

Think before you you act

Nobody truly loves you except your mother

Spirits don’t exist. If you want something, you better do it for yourself. No amount of praying or wishful thinking will put you where you never prepared for. Luck exists, but without prior preparation, you won’t last in a lucky spot for long.

You are uniquely unique, no one had, has or will have your fingerprints in the entire world.

Fulfill your destiny.

One lesson I learned as a child;
1 Be honest but never overshare your personal secrets, personal matters and plans with anyone, and learn to set boundaries
2 Don't let your situations define you but instead you can improve and work on yourself, change your way you see things and perspectives and put God first and things will fall into place
3 Don't follow the (crowd) majority as they don't know what they're doing and don't copy others because you see others doing it

For me...


One MAJOR lesson i've learnt from childhood, is this:

It's not by "Coming 1st in class" in Primary or Secondary school or whatever, BUT your God-given skills and talents that'll eventually pave the way for you through real life, after exiting the four walls of academic institutions...

And don't get me wrong...

School is NOT a 'scam'...

I'm just saying....

Use your gift(s) VERY WISELY.

The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, as they say...

No be by who first call Police, na him dem dey take win case.

Love and Light.

That life is fleeting....

There are some people I looked at and thought that death would be afraid of.......
