That we are the aliens we've been searching for.

That the Earth is a dead silent place, no one is really here or really alive. It's all an illusion created, maintained and observed by the Earth.

That I live in a world where animal wear cloth and pretend to have divine connection.

That friendship is an act on both side and love is dillusional. Sorry if there are wrong spelling there.

1. Women will do anything for money.

Lazarus's case and that of the rich man is even better, women will eat both the crumbs that falls from the table and allow the rich man's dog eat them too.

2. Men fear power + physical dominance. If you got one or both, your respect will heighten. And true on a large scale.

3. Children only keep shut when you stand by your decision and accompany it with a rod. Like women, they love going against boundaries assigned to them.

4. How far you will go in life is dependent on the available knowledge or information you have or able to access.

5. Nobody cares about you, but you still end up thinking about how others see you. Human evolutionary instinct wants to ensure that you're not going against the rules of the tribe.

6. Everyone desires to help and show love, but when the burden is placed upon them they run away. These are weak people, the spectators and critics that lacks good sense of judgement. They are accusers and mere talkers.

7. Born into a poor family, a poor nation and a poor background sets you up for monumental failure. Hence, religion becomes a comforter and escape mechanism because chances of success are ultra slim. So, anything you do in such situation to at least upgrade yourself should be seen as success even though it can't be categorized as the norm. You tried my friend.

8. With wealth, influence and power, you not only break the rules, you make the rules and break it as it pleases you.

9. There are no morally wealthy + powerful people. Every powerful and wealthy man plays unsuspicious immoral game behind closed doors. When caught they rationalize it to mean a virtuous act. Or, pretend nothing happened.

10. The poor desires to be rich, and when he is unable, he castigates the rich and calls wealth vanity. Refer to 7 above.

11. Nobody is coming to help you, the few that will do will only point the route to you, you must do the work for yourself, don't expect anybody to do it for you.

12. People are selfish with knowledge because they think once it goes viral they will lose their power. And this is true. It is then left for you as an individual to go down the rabbit hole and and pursue knowledge. Refer to 4 above.

13. Life is not guaranteed in the next hour, assume you'll die sooner and that may help you come up with productive ideas and walk towards it.

14. No big deal being happy or sad, life will definitely take different turns on you, just be prepared and conscious about it.

15. Family is key. Your friends cannot be compared to your genetic line. Though, some friends has proven to be brothers.

16. Respect everyone. Don't view anyone ignominously, as they might know what you don't and can help when you don't expect.

17. Be kind, but always make sure you pay everyone with their own coins. This will ensure they know that in life, nobody has the monopoly of being kind, frugal, arrogant or prideful. Only the wealthy has such opportunity. Refer to 8 above.

18. Stay focus, continue to try and progress. You may experience a breakthrough, but in the case that you didn't made a significant breakthrough, just know you tried.

19. Majority of humans has died and many will die without achieving their dreams. Take heart.

20. Use your money to take good care of yourself. But also know that being selfish is for a short time, when you die another will inherit all your possessions, and he may possibly be your enemy.

21. Do what makes you happy is an escape mechanism to please your indulgence and never makes you want to feel guilty about your reckless behaviors.

22. If there's a process follow it. If it is long be patient and follow, and same if short. The more you try to short circuit the process, the longer you stay there correcting what you ought to have done in the past.

22. Life doesn't go as planned, always ensure you have alternatives and fallback. Don't depend on mere hope, faith, wishful thinking and prayer. You are not different from other beings. So, don't think your case is special.

23. Respect is only given to the wealthy, high status and powerful because humans are myopic, they judge you by your cover. A poor wise man is an object of mockery to the masses. Refer to 1 above.

24. Suffering is part of every process, make
good use of it.

25. The majority of people that are announcing their helps are only trying to exploit you.

26. If there's something to lose or gain people will comply. Better to use incentives than appeal to emotion or force.

27. Only outliers help genuinely from their hearts. The majority will not help if they have nothing to gain from you. Refer to 26 above.

28. You are not in control, independence or democracy are words to make you feel in control. The government and the wealthy men are the people in control. Refer to 8 above.

29. The wrong side about religion is that its adherents take every allegories and metaphors as facts. Meanwhile, when lessons are extrapolated from these religious tales you will find out that man truly needs religion. Refer to 7 above.

30. You don't know yourself until you suffer lack or have abundance.

31. Experience is the best teacher; if you are advice against an act you'll continually regret not taking action. However, some experiences comes with painful scars. Be careful.

32. Everything you say or know is true. However, truth is what has proven itself repeatedly and not void of empiricism and reality.

33. If you are extremely valuable, people will be attracted to you, but the majority will like to parasitize on you rather than become good as you.

Thanks.

Life has taught me that.

1. There is a supreme deity who is also the living God....He isn't christian or muslim,he is LOVE.
2. Everyone has a destiny....You need to align with your creator to fulfill destiny.
3. No one owes you anything in life,with this orientation, you'll never depend on anyone
4. Live for the moment.... Tomorrow ain't guaranteed
5. A man who can control his manhood has successfully conquered 70 percent of his problems in life
6. Never be afraid to die,those that have died never wished to

And lastly

It is better for one not to be born than to be alive with no purpose....
God is Peace until Humanities finds Peace that's when they Find God:

God Created Us as Complements to One Another not Competitions:

Competitions leads to War

Complementary leads to Eternal Peacefulness and Blissfulness:

I've learnt a whole lot
But of a remembrance is that: I shouldn't be hasty in making decisions.
Life has also taught me not to believe the ' love tales' of guys, lie full their mouth.
Life has taught me to never trust wholly.
Life has taught me that at the end of all this hustle, bustle, curses, lies and swears we go all die. So what's the essence of lying to another just because you want to feed your cravings? It's all senseless.
Life has also taught me regrets. Irrevocable regrets that has taught me a whole lot, and I have learnt.

Your parents are hoping that you rescue them from chaos. They won't tell you because it will signify failure on their own part and impose a tremendous burden on you.

Their most desired wishes would be for you to take care of them as they've done to you at the very least, but it far transcends that. It is to build upon what they've built and carry the responsibility to resurrect the family from struggles that they couldn't defeat.

The more successful a person you become, the happier they will be since their fulfillment is tied to your success. Don't disappoint them.
This also applies to countries.

Future generations depends on us to create a good society for them. Other countries people generally migrate to have being fought for by previous generations.

The more the work is pushed to the future, the harder it becomes to resurrect and escape. Wasted time is costly.

Prioritize your goals, don't be distracted. Do not try to please anyone at the expenses of your growth and development because those you try to please don't give a damn

If you subject your dreams and goals to pursue what makes others happy or feel euphoria while it drain you and make you sad. Someday they'd leave you when you're empty.

Focus on yourself and focus on God🙏
Don't be distracted by anyone, anything, abeg-this is very essential.

Don't be the first to make a move, instead play hard to get but not too hard to scare others away but when you throw yourself to people and they later reject you for others- you become hurt and a fool.

do not use money meant for capital business for charity, those you're trying to help, you might be on the same page with them on downgraded level


do not ever think someone/people won't survive without you, stay focus


Don't pursue necessity and leave priorities, that necessity might not give you the ultimate certainty


if you want to be wealthy learn to take risk, build your own empire, continue creating source source source source source till Forbes get tired of listing you on their list

While this is very valid for most people in the poorest continent, it’s not really true for developed societies that we are doing japa to instead of fixing our own countries, as the oyinbos and chinkos are doing.

How do we go beyond this individual focus and move towards collective focus in everything we do, for blacks to get out of the lowest ranks of humanity huh

“The worst illiterate is the political illiterate, he doesn’t hear, doesn’t speak, nor participates in the political events.

He doesn’t know the cost of life, the price of the bean, of the fish, of the flour, of the rent, of the shoes and of the medicine, all depends on political decisions. The political illiterate is so stupid that he is proud and swells his chest saying that he hates politics.

The slowpoke doesn’t know that, from his political ignorance is born the prostitute, the abandoned child, and the worst thieves of all, the bad politician, corrupted and flunky of the national and multinational companies.”
