i was young and naive,but thank goodness I'm good now...marriage has nothing for men,men just labour tirelessly to their early deaths.
Stupid me tried so hard to make my wife independent! The rest is history now after I lost my job.


Now people are pleading on her behalf for me to forgive her for the sake of our children. But me I don lock up already 🤔

1) Staying indoor as a child.
2) Not Having a GF as a teenager
3) Not socializing.
4) Being afraid to take risk .
5) Not learning hardwork and not leaving house at 17 or 18
Don't blame yourself too hard. Some might be a function of how your parents raised and ruled the house.
Dont live in regret or self pity, you can correct and change your life now. You have the power ,all you need to do is to decide.

Taking a girl I met online out yesterday, on reaching, noticing she wasn’t fancying me, i foolishly proceed to place orders, forcing communications, trying to pleased her, until she couldn’t ave it anymore, she left me there in my car. Don’t be like me, leave immediately as soon as you notice the feeling isn’t mutual.

When someone betrays you, there have constructively look at the consequences, if you give them the chance again, be 100% certain they’ll do it again.

my regrets was trusting uncles that they will help you... if you want to go far in life don't trust family for help.. work as if though you are alone...

today I am only person that will never ask family member help, not because I have but because it has become part of my life.
Secondly, learn trade no matter how small it is

. you can never become rich from salaries but trading will make you comfortable
Who told you that you can never become rich from salary?
Oil and Gas workers are very rich.

Cushions would've only attracted unwanted attention, I carried a sweater instead...😅😅😅

My father visited me that same week and when he asked what was wrong, I lied and told him that I tripped and fell while I was mopping my room, I had already promised him to stay away from campus politics...😂😂😂
By cushion, I meant some fat on your bum bum 😫.

I’m sure you left politics alone after that 😂😂😂

For me it was during this one campus protest in varsity, normally during our usual protests, I'd make sure to either position myself at the back, or in the middle of the crowd just so I can easily run for cover the moment the police start throwing their tear gas or firing rubber bullets at us.

That day I don't know what got to me that I positioned myself at the front, I don't know if I was high in the Economic Freedom Fighters Students Command's revolutionary songs or what, because those comrades could sing and their protests carried weight... grin grin grin... One of the things that had me invested in campus politics was their revolutionary music... grin grin grin

The police positioned themselves and as they started firing rubber bullets and tear gas at us, we dispersed for cover and while I was still in the process of taking cover, I was shot twice, one on my thigh and the other on my butt, I felt the second one that hit my butt knocking out all my dreams and hopes of becoming a comrade, and as if that wasn't enough, a third one hit my back and it was a final nail in the coffin... Those things hurt, I spent the entire week sitting with only one butt cheek... That was my biggest mistake.
Lol. Zulu people. You guys like war too much cheesy

For the young kings, never spend your first big bag on family. I paid so much black tax and ended back where I came from, like I never left because I wanted to be a 'good child'. Paid over 6 million worth of loans for my mum. Spent another 3 million trying to set her up. All went down the drain. Funny thing, the stupid hag keeps calling me for loans I know nothing about. While I am quietly drowning. Lol. I work with my dad. Made profit of about 150m during the period I was trying to set up my mum (thinking my cut from the 100m would be for me to set up myself). My pops bought me an SUV in my name for #13m as a 'surprise'. And that was it. Not even 1 kobo from the 100m for maintenance or fuel. Lol.

My boss I've been working with for about 3 years now. Can't ask for more loyalty. I fucking bashed my SUV from my other hustle, chasing money with my boss, expecting some mad funds to roll in. After we lost over #450m in last minute dropped deals in 2025, I tried not to mount financial pressure on my boss. But tell me why I casually saw payment receipts from 2024 issued by the office to the govt ministry when I did all the work and my boss been acting like the ministry hadn't paid all this while. The job was small sum. #10m. meant to be a start for bigger contracts. And my Voss received #7m since 2024. I didn't even know. Lol.

It hurts. But we live and we learn. Walai. If the roles were reversed, I wouldn't treat any of these people the way they treated me.

Last last na only yourself you know.

My biggest mistake was not voting Tinubu in 2023. I voted the overrated great-grandfather called Athiechukwu.

But 2027 is another opportunity to write the wrongs.

Bola Ahmed Tinubu is the only hope Nigeria has towards prosperity, not one Adamawa ancestor or one Onitsha main market fraudster.

I hope others learn from it
