Bros the OP na man. I liked the fact he stood his ground. That is what you do when you know your right. The environment was not enabling to win the case, sad

Only when it happens in a saner clime.

CrownedPhoenix:
The kind of things some people write online just makes you wonder the kind of human being behind the monicker.

I'm even surprised myself.

Grow up sir .

Kelvinnchucks:
Honestly tho, I think what ever you type to your Ai to refine is probably better than the rubbish it regurgitates for you to copy.

Speak your own English, nobody will kill you if your grammar isn't perfect. You can't be insecure on a faceless forum.

Just saying tho.

And the movie was stupid btw.

If you wanna escape poverty and go far in life, stopping all form of betting is a must.

East of eden is a solid 10/10 for me.
This is obviously top 3 best series of 2026, no matter what series might come before year's end.

For so long the world has cried for a series like this, a series that isn't just a masterpiece but a cinematic miracle with a Florence Pugh performance worthy of calling her one of the best actress in modern history.

Every dialogue, every scene, even second in this series are all masterpieces of the art of film making.
The storyline 10/10
Dialogues 10/10
Casts 10/10
Picture 10/10
Series is a slowburner and yet a mystery and a thriller.
There are so many life's lessons to be learnt in this series and whoever said after GOD, fear woman the person is absolutely right and Florence Pugh performance in this series is a testament of that statement.

Also!!!! Some women or most women don't like good and kind men, they like men with a little dark side, they want to be with a bad guy.
Don't worry not everyone will agree with me but being too kind to some women will drive them away.

Words can't fully describe how much this series is a masterpiece and a poetic masterpiece at that and when the scene of San Francisco came, anyone that has seen the series called warrior, can almost feel like the Scent in the air when Lee went to meet uncle Lau
Whoever that's responsible with that brief connection, that same actor from warrior in San Francisco, whoever that's responsible for that idea is a brilliant person and this is more reason why this series is top 3 best of 2026.

I can go on and on as how this series is a wonderful one but let me stop here and allow you watch and see for yourself.
Kudos to all the wonderful casts and crews, all the productions in general, they have given us a great show and congratulations to them in advance for the many many awards this series will bag and congratulations to Florence Pugh herself for winning the Emmy in advance.

is this not over hyping

Thank u rap money

I use already blended and fried tomato base. I always have it, cos it make cooking anything easier.

I start by blend tomatoes, paprika, and cayenne pepper (tatashe & Shombo)

Boil it till it dries completely

Then fried it, and add spices (onions, curry, thyme, maggi)

I will then refrigerate for later use.


So if I want to make egg sauce, I will scoop some into frying pan, crack egg into it and add salt to taste.

Thank u

Nice analysis OP

TallNigerian:
It took me 10 years and a total loss of over 21 million in naira to break free.

It's never easy to break free from any form of addiction. When you think you have abstained and are free, then something triggers a relapse.

It's a battle of the mind but you will lose many things along the way; relationships, mental health, happiness, financial stability, personal success etc. Because all the monies you are supposed to channel into productive ventures will be channeled into gambling. Chasing losses makes what is already bad even worse.

I should have migrated a long time ago, I gambled away the funds I set aside for that. I abandoned my Masters program because I couldn't fund it. Not that I didn't have the means but all I saw in my head was how to double any available funds. The dopamine was real. I started stealing from my fiancee at some point and it formed part of why my relationship broke. I am only just getting my life together after abstaining last year. It's not been easy repaying unending debts and living frugally because of past mistakes. But it's the prize that has to be paid for my lack of discretion in the past.

As for your brother, you cannot stop him, he will either realize he needs to stop or he will gamble till he becomes suicidal. I know how many times I reported myself to GambleAlert, a gambling addiction reform organization. I started therapy but relapsed thrice. Then I quit. I just woke up one day after squandering the 4m left in my account and decided ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

If not stupidity, I have 4m at hand, I am chasing 500k or 1m. I then lose the entire 4m in the process.

God bless u sir

Nice one

I love this piece,,,, congrat young chap.

Rapmoney:
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please before you digest this post, take note that it has been written for people who are ambitious and want to grow. The post is NOT for people who are comfortable with whatever spot life places them.

First, what are survival jobs? Survival jobs are jobs you do temporarily to make ends meet for a particular time or period. They are meant to be a means to an end and not the end itself. This implies that you do not do it because it is fun or important on its own. You do it only to get what you want at the end. The end here could be to save up money for tuition, for a project, to acquire a skill ot training, or to weather the storm.

I have seen a lot of people spend countless years on a survival job. No promotion, no advancement, no increase, no future prospect, just nothing! Everyday turns to every year, and it becomes decades with nothing to show for it. The basic truth is that survival jobs CAN NEVER make you rich. I repeat, survival jobs CAN NEVER make you rich. They are jobs you do temporarily while working on some other things that can improve your life.

It is pertinent to note that survival jobs are not bad, because they could serve as starting points and also means to an end. Staying on them for long is the negative aspect here.

When you are on a survival job, do it with one leg and one eye. The other leg and other eye should be exploring other opportunities. You should know what that means. Use your tongue to count your teeth. Na only Nollywood movies poor gate man go see missing money, then the rich man go give am 50 million Naira as appreciation. Use your brain.

With all sincerity, do not stay on a survival job for more than two years. I have seen people work for 15 to 20 years, still living in same environment, and still can't afford basic things nor live a decent life. And one terrible thing about survival jobs is that you could get so familiar with them to the extent where you cannot venture into something else again.

May the efforts of every ambitious person out there be rewarded bountifully. Happy Weekend to you!

glGod bless u sir

Beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.

Donbother:
A few days ago, I overheard someone say,

"If I had ₦10 million today, I'd never have to work again."

It sounded nice.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that's not how wealth works.

Many people think money is about buying expensive cars, luxury houses, or designer clothes.

In reality, the greatest thing money can buy is freedom.

Freedom to choose the kind of work you do.

Freedom to spend more time with your family.

Freedom to say "no" to opportunities that don't align with your values.

Freedom to handle emergencies without borrowing from friends or taking high-interest loans.

The truth is, being wealthy isn't about how expensive your lifestyle looks.

It's about how much control you have over your time.

Think about it.

Two people may earn the same amount every month.

One lives paycheck to paycheck, constantly worrying about bills.

The other has savings, investments, and additional sources of income.

Who is truly richer?

Most of us spend years chasing higher income.

There's nothing wrong with that.

But while chasing income, don't forget to build financial stability.

Ask yourself these questions:

- If I couldn't work for three months, would I be okay financially?
- Am I building assets, or am I only buying liabilities?
- Am I using today's income to create tomorrow's opportunities?

Financial freedom doesn't happen overnight.

It's built through consistent decisions repeated over time.

Spend wisely.

Save consistently.

Invest in yourself.

Look for legitimate ways to increase your income.

Most importantly, remember that wealth isn't measured by what people see.

It's measured by the peace of mind you have when no one is watching.

Now I'd like to hear from you.

If someone gave you enough money to never worry about bills again, what would you spend your time doing?

Would you still work, start a business, travel, volunteer, or pursue a passion you've been putting off?

Share your thoughts in the comments. I'm looking forward to reading different perspectives.

great piece....
Well done!
Well done!
Well done!

PDPdestroyer:
Obidients will be very sad with this development

Why would they be sad?....Are u implying that they don't love good news?

AccidentedCars:
This will offend a lot of people.

But the men who are actually winning at life and relationships know exactly what I'm about to say.

Love is not a business strategy.

And marriage, whether you like it or not, is a business.

Two people merging finances. Sharing rent. Splitting decisions about schools, food, healthcare, family obligations, career moves.

That's a partnership. A merger. A joint venture.

And you would NEVER enter a joint venture with someone based purely on how they make you feel when the room is dark and the music is playing.

Yet that's exactly how most Nigerian men choose wives.

"I love her."

Great. Does she have a skill? A source of income? A plan? Can she manage money? Does she understand that ₦200,000 in Abuja in 2026 disappears before the month ends?

"I love her."

Okay. What happens when you lose your job? When the contract ends? When business goes dry for 3 months?

Does she have something she can activate to hold the house down while you recover? Or is the plan just "God will provide"?

"I love her."

I hear you. I loved someone once.

Let me tell you what happened.

I was with a girl for over a year. Beautiful girl. Kind heart. The type of person who would give you her last meal if you asked.

But she had no skill. No trade. No income. No hustle.

Her entire economic identity was ME.

When I was making money, we were fine. The house was good. Groceries were stocked. Fuel was in the generator. Life was beautiful.

Then I had a bad quarter. Two deals fell through. Cash flow dried up for about 6 weeks.

I didn't go broke. I had savings. But things got tight.

And the MOMENT things got tight, I realized something terrifying:

I was carrying two lives on one back.

Not because she was lazy. She wasn't. She was willing to do anything.

But "willing" and "able" are two different words.

She didn't have a skill that someone would pay for. She didn't have a network she could leverage. She didn't have a side hustle she could activate during emergencies.

She had willingness. Which is useless without capability.

Those 6 weeks nearly broke the relationship. Not because of fighting. Because of WEIGHT.

I felt heavy. Every morning. Like I was wearing a suit made of concrete.

Because I knew that if I didn't figure something out fast, two people would suffer, not one.

After that experience, I made a decision.

The next woman I commit to must bring something to the table that isn't love.

Love is the MINIMUM. Not the qualification.

The qualification is: can you hold this house down if I fall?

Here's what that looks like in practice.

I have a friend. Let's call him T.

T married a woman who runs a small skincare business from Instagram. She makes about ₦300,000 to ₦450,000 a month. Not massive. But consistent.

Last year, T's business hit a wall. A major client defaulted. He lost about ₦4 million in receivables over 3 months.

Most men in that situation would spiral. Borrow money. Take on bad deals out of desperation. Fight with their wives about expenses.

T didn't do any of that.

Because his wife's ₦300k-₦450k per month covered the essentials. Rent was already paid. She handled groceries. She handled the children's school runs. She handled utilities.

T had SPACE. Space to think. Space to restructure. Space to recover without destroying himself.

By the fourth month, he'd landed a new contract. Bigger than the one he lost.

He told me later:

"If I'd married the girl I was 'in love with' at 25 instead of the woman I chose at 30, I would have been finished. Because that girl at 25 had nothing but vibes. This woman at 30 had a business."

That's the difference.

A wife with a skill is not an insult to your masculinity. It's insurance for your household.

A wife who can hold things together during your worst quarter is worth more than a wife who looks perfect during your best year.

Now, someone will read this and say:

"So you don't believe in love?"

I believe in love the way I believe in fuel. Fuel is necessary. You can't drive without it.

But fuel without an engine is just liquid sitting in a jerry can.

Love without utility is just feelings sitting in a relationship going nowhere.

I want both. The love AND the engine.

But if you make me choose, I'm choosing the engine.

Because the engine can take me somewhere even when the fuel is low.

Feelings can't do that.

I'm in a better place now financially. I made 1.2 million from a single deal last month. Took about 4 hours of real work spread across a few weeks. The rest was waiting.

But I remember those 6 weeks when cash was tight. And I will NEVER put myself in a position where my household has one engine again.

Two incomes. Two skill sets. Two people who can carry the weight.

That's architecture.

Build a house with two pillars, not one.

so on point!

Richtaiwo:
As long as people keep chasing shortcuts instead of earning an honest living, scams will never run out of customers. Swindling someone who works hard for a living is no easy task, but those obsessed with free money make the fraudsters' job effortless. Stay away from betting and every other get-rich-quick fantasy. Nothing is free, not even in heaven.

Nice2023:
Avoid a woman who loves hiding her progress from u. She is a sign of bad marriage. Same thing applies to men.

Avoid any man or woman who plays bets...they will rather gamble than face their marital responsibilities.

Start early to invest in ur marriage.

God bless u sir!

Federal Government and misplaced priority

Nice thread

Rapmoney:
One thing you should know about academic success in children as a parent is the fact that the academic success of your child starts from early years and it has more to do with you rather than the educational system.

Oftentimes, parents blame schools for the academic lapses and shortcomings of their children instead of looking inward. I am not in anyway saying that schools should be absorbed from blames as regards to poor academic performance in children, but what I am saying is that everything begins with the parents.

For most of us who are Millennials, I would excuse our parents and grandparents more than the way I would excuse Millennial parents who are currently raising Gen Z and Gen Alpha kids. This is because for us who are Millennials, our parents and grandparents were not as exposed as parents of today. They did not have internet; neither did they have Open Source Learning and other modern learning tools and platforms. Today, these things are easily accessible to anyone who wants to make use of them.

I have compiled some ways that parents can use to raise brilliant children in Nigeria where the government does little to fund education and improve the standard. Take note that this post is not AI generated, but has been compiled by me based on the fact that I was in the academia for years as a Learning Support Head before switching to another career.

1. Start very early: Yes! This is the first step. Start very early. By age 2 to 3, you should start reading to your child. Make good use of pictures and colours. Children love both and are usually captivated by them. Use the alphabet to make songs. You can go further by connecting sounds to letters. This should be done in a fun and playful way. This is one of the reasons why parenting is intentional.

2. Make them see reading as fun and not punishment: While growing up, our parents screamed at us to read our books. Some children were even flogged mercilessly and denied food for not studying. That is a wrong way of cultivating the culture of reading in children. When you make children see reading as a punishment instead of fun, it is a already a pathway to academic problems. The resultant effect is that the child pretends to be studying when you are around, but goes back to whatever he or she has been doing as soon as you step out. At the age of 6,7 and probably 8, you should read with your child/children. Listen to them while they read, and ask them to analyse stories and answer questions when they are done. When they understand that reading is fun, it becomes a natural habit.

3. Reduce the amount of entertainment time: This is one reason why many children perform poorly academically. The amount of time they have for entertainment far outweighs the amount of time they spend on studying. Too much movie watching, countless hours playing video games, etc can slow the academic growth of a child. Some parents even act abnormally by giving their phones to their kids to play games. The child can spend hours on the phone while his/her homework is left undone. Schedule time for your kids. There should be time for studying and time for entertainment. Entertainment time should not be anytime. While the school do theirs, do your own part as a parent, and do it diligently. If your child still cannot read at the age of 7, you should be worried.

4. Buy novels for your kids: Apart from confidence, do you know why some people are better speakers than others? It is because they possess a larger collection of vocabularies. Novels enable children to learn new words and improve their vocabulary. Buy books for them and encourage them to read. Don't be upset when your child is not given the opportunity to address guests at the school's graduation ceremony. The child who has been chosen for that might have a larger collection of vocabulary than your child.

5. Teach your children how to think and not what to think: If you can afford a school that uses the British curriculum, do not hesitate on that. The difference between the British curriculum and the Nigerian curriculum is that the former teaches children how to think, but the latter teaches children what to think.

Look at this example:

The Lost Wallet

Chidinma and Musa were walking home from school when they found a wallet on the roadside. Inside were some money and an identity card. Instead of keeping it, they took the wallet to their class teacher.

The next day, the owner came to the school. He thanked the children for their honesty and explained that the wallet contained money he needed for his small business. The head teacher praised Chidinma and Musa during the morning assembly.

The children learnt that honesty is rewarded and that doing the right thing helps others, even when no one is watching.

Now, critically look at these questions:

Nigerian Curriculum
Answer the following questions
1. Where was Chidinma and Musa coming from?
2. What did Chidinma and Musa find?

British Curriculum
Answer the following questions
1. What do you think would have happened to Chidinma and Musa if they had kept the wallet that they found?
2. Rewrite and improve this story by adding two more paragraphs.

You can clearly see how the British curriculum challenges learners to think, while on the other hand, the Nigerian curriculum expects the child to answer questions robotically by picking answers straight from the passage.

Lastly, with all what I have posted here, if you don't have the mental strength or capacity to embark on this as parents, you are leaving the academic progress of your child solely on the school, its system, and the society at large. This is the more reason why you should be intentional with who you are getting married to.
