Give away billions, yet retire a multi-billionaire—the world’s fourth richest man at 94. What a life! I pray we age well in good health with a sharp mind like this fellow 🙏🏾

And may we be blessed with a Charlie Munger.

Everything is cruise to this man.

₦450k could rent a full flat with boys’ quarters and goats in the backyard

in which part of Nigeria exactly?

That said, last night happened. Dust off. Head up. We meuve.

Double0h7, you being honest is accountability and that’s what this space is about. Not judgment, not perfection. If the bag gets dropped, we pick it up, dust it off, and keep moving. That's how we push through a setback. It’s still progress.

Thank you so much, Double0h7! You've been a blessing. The story you shared is a very heavy one. For you to share it means reliving it on some level, and I recognize the weight of that. I deeply appreciate the effort and vulnerability it took to tell it. I don’t take it for granted.

As someone who experienced a similar loss in adulthood, I know the impact it had on me and my family. But even that doesn’t compare in any way to what you’ve been through. I’ll never fully understand the extent of your experience, I can only imagine the depth of it. Your story gave me something to reflect on and it helped strengthen my resolve. Thank you again for reaching that deep to share such a powerful memory. It’s added another layer to my armour.

I’m familiar with Eckhart Tolle. I’ve watched a few of his interviews on YouTube, and The Power of Now has been on my reading list for the longest time. I’m definitely looking forward to your recommendations.

I’ll also use the video you shared to explore guided meditation. You’ve truly been amazing, and I appreciate everything.

Hope the weekend is going well at your end?

Offpoint1:
It's easy to say that because you don't have business running on Facebook like others.

You know the numbers of people who's source of income is on Facebook?

Ironically, you're on point here, Offpoint1. I may have been a little insensitive, but the point is they're just flexing muscle. Did they shut down Facebook in Europe when they were fined $1.3 billion? No. They played the same "service disruption" card. WhatsApp offended but they're banning Facebook? No panic my brother, they'll sort themselves out.

Lovenorth:
Ok I understand, let's marry based on hate. I hear you

Not sure you did. Don't marry based on feelings alone, that's what he's saying.

About time. Let them go ahead and shut down that ghost town.

Double0h7 and another celeb again? You’re building quite the tabloid archive in Dreamland! 😄 But I get it, it’s not easy telling biology, “Nah, I’m good.” Family too, especially if you're from the typical Nigerian household.

The part about being unemployable made me laugh because it resonates. The toxicity that group dynamics not handled well create can be very frustrating. You have more control when you’re running your own thing, but you can’t completely escape sh!tty people. If not as employees, then as customers.

I hear you about the weekend too. And I love what you said about slowly reintroducing yourself to Allah, that’s a good move. I sometimes underestimate the importance of this kind of anchoring when battling demons. I’m rooting for you on that path. Sending you strength for the weekend 🤲🏾

As for the comfort eating, I’d take that any day over a weekend blackout. Your real gain is kicking alcohol's arse.

I appreciate your honesty and really admire the depth of your self-awareness. You’ve clearly done some work. It takes guts to see ourselves as we are, and call out the not-so-pleasant things. Thanks for sharing.

Also, drag me anywhere; I’ll keep showing up.

Hey Double0h7,

Feels like your subconscious is part poet, part prankster — good thing it yanked you out on time

Thanks for sharing. You’ve got the kind of mind that makes dreams something to look forward to.

And thank you so much for the advice! I’m definitely going to try it — especially the part about treating yourself to silence. I’d never thought of silence as a treat before, but it makes sense. Might just become my new post-victory ritual: silence, then lean into the soul. I’ll let you know how it goes.

How’s it going on your end? How’s Day 2 treating you?

Damn.

This right here felt like sitting across from someone at 2 AM — no masks, no filters, just bleeding truth into the quiet.

Powerful.

I don’t even know where to start. Maybe with this: thank you. For seeing me. For writing. For holding up a mirror and saying, “Look, I’m in this too.”

That line — “a grave miscarriage of justice if I never birth Her” — gave me goosebumps. She’s close. Let’s drag her out together. And mad respect for slaying weed. 🙌🏾

I’m not an old friend in disguise. But I could be a new one if you’re serious about accountability, I’m here for it.

And no, I won’t block you.
We don’t block light.
I’m rooting for you, Double0h7.

Alcohol better start running.

It is clear that WhatsApp isn’t fighting to prove they’re right; they’re challenging Nigeria’s right to hold them accountable. We're NOT the first to indict them for breaching data protection laws.

In 2021, the EU slapped WhatsApp with a €225 million fine for violating GDPR transparency rules. Just days ago, Apple and Meta faced another heavy fine for illegal data processing in Europe.

If European regulators are serious about data privacy, why shouldn’t Nigeria be? 51 million WhatsApp users in Nigeria, we should hold Meta to the same standards. It's not only about the money, it's about respect. We must no longer be known as the "anything goes" country. Nigeria’s data protection laws exist for a reason—if Meta breaks them, they should pay the price. Period.

Let's start thinking of creating local alternatives. Are we not all here on a Nigerian platform, arguing and insulting ourselves every day? What is WhatsApp, what are servers, what is Data Center that we cannot maintain?

The marriage bed is not a UFC octagon.

This wasn't just "unique" sex. For a woman to hit her head hard enough to collect blood inside the skull and to sustain neck injuries — and the man claims "we were just changing positions" — raises suspicion. Either there’s more to the story, or someone is hiding behind "mtototo" to cover a darker truth.

May her soul rest. May justice prevail.

Kaczynski:
I'm so tired of women only wanting sex from me. Why can't they see us for more than walking Love Machine's? Every time I meet a woman IRL I get filled with excitement, hoping that they are different. They never are.

I imagine a world where woman are capable of love, romance and affection. A world in which I receive handwritten letters or poems instead of noods. A world where a woman will go out of her way to show me she loves me through a romantic act, not simply spreading her legs. Why can't this be real?

For real?

I won’t. I’m the sort who'd rather bear the weight alone than see others break because of me—especially those I love. Yet still, I’m stubborn, foolish, led by storms within, so perhaps don’t listen to me.
