situations like this makes me wish i have a close bond with my dad, i could have told him and i am sure he will have something tangible to tell me at least to calm my nerves. but i can’t because he will end up picking me up on it or even worse tell my mom. |

i can’t share what i am going through with anyone because i think no one cares about me enough. i have to nurse these wounds and move on |

i am currently going through some emotional turmoil, has to do with the current girl i am dating. life is so hard for me, dealing with emotions, lack of enough money, watching how time passes and due to lack of resources you can’t move efficiently, surely hurts. will sun rise from here? i am taking steps daily to make sure i prevail and i do not lose myself in the process. i am definitely going to make it out of all of these. |

as an average nigerian, i know i am in the red queens race, i have to work very hard to even be at the starting point. look at what i struggle for, a good internet, good devices (phone and laptop), security, good fits and utility appliances at home etc. these things means nothing in the developed world, my peers are taking a risk with an upside of millions of $$$ whereas i am taking risks to be able to afford rent or buy food even, its that bad over here. being aware of these kind of constraints motivates me to go harder on my grind and to never stop till i make it. 1 Like

i have also began to practice treating people with kindness and not always looking out for my own personal gain in an interaction. people are going through a lot and everyone could use a little bit of kindness, this doesn’t mean i’m being pushover, no. i mean showing up for them when they least expect it, cheering them on and being generally positive around them. trying to be the type of person people think of and have some hope in themselves. 2 Likes |

my dark side is obviously sex. i can act out of control or break character because of sex, i’ve seen it happen many times and as an attractive dude girls throw themselves a lot at me. but i sincerely want to be loyal and love one person, my chats might say otherwise but that’s what i aspire to be, love and devote myself to one person. i also realized that when i am in a relationship i tend to get more attention from girls, like recently an ex reached out to me. talking about sex i think exposure to it at a young age made me like this. and also my struggle with porn and gooning. i know exactly where the shoe pinches and now the question is whether i can control the darkness or let it consume me. 1 Like |

i have assumed many things, worst things but the craziest thing is they never happen. there were times i get panic attacks from what i assume will happen but it turns out better than i had imagined. is this a cue to be more positive? and what i noticed is when you assume, it affects your emotions and deregulate your mood as well. 1 Like |

i am at work and it’s raining heavily and i am the only one in the office right now. wondering how i can increase my standards and level up, dissecting all of the mistakes i can’t afford again. have you ever felt like you have lived for centuries due to the kind of weight that is on your shoulder? i want to build a life i don’t need rest from, where work and fun means the same thing. spend time creating, quality time with my gf and family, thats the goal. then you get thrown to a place like Nigeria where you have to fight tooth and nail to even make it to the starting line. 1 Like |

my biggest fear in life is being a could have been nigga. the guy with potential that could have been great. i hate that. thats why i am always willing to take a risk, pay money for info and move fast. time is going, i don’t feel pressured at all, but i am cognizant of it. i can remember when i was 23 and i’m halfway through 25 3 Likes |

this year december will make it three years for me in paid employment and thinking of it now, what really is holding me back is lack of a solid source of income. if my retainer income was solid i could easily quit and focus on expanding my clientele. my path is usually going to be 1) build an income -> 2) quit my job i am still trying to figure the ‘build an income’ part. before i used to think i am going to build an offline business but after close consultation with people that own offline business and how tiny the margins are i think the juice is not worth the squeeze. i now have to figure out how to make money online, then quit the job in that order. if i don’t work on this, then there’s no way i am getting out of the mix and build my app. i think at this point i have become really humble from all of the experience i’ve garnered this year. life is hard folks 1 Like |

life started getting better slowly at least i had a functional phone, my startup was practically dead at this point, its so disappointing. finished the gig for the client, he put me on a 120K retainer per month and he only paid once, lol. currently owed around 360K for three months. then this past june, i was nominated for a training and i got a brand new laptop, core i5, 8gb ram, elitebook. this is my biggest win, because i honestly do not know how i could get the money at once to buy a new pc. i’ve been basking in the euphoria of having a system since, just the thought of it makes me happy. |

all my plans started looking like fantasy, client started giving excuses on why they can’t pay on time, it messed up my plans big time but i kept moving, going to office everyday, barely getting by. i got nominated for a training in Abuja, around that time my 14 pro got some issues, it fell the back glass broke and had to replace it and it left some gap at the camera angle and front camera stopped working. it was overheating, i didn’t even know what to do at that point, went to the training like that with a broken phone. met a lovely girl, sammy, she made my stay in Abuja lively, i was in her room that night and we were talking about our music taste and our past relationships, she’s also very intelligent, i think she stays at lokogoma. it was also my first time using glovo, uber, bolt and the hotel elevator lol after the training, i moved to our Chairperson residence at Katampe extension, went out for a walk and saw how expansive it looked. houses looked like they were drawn out of dreams, white picket fences and garden in front of the house. i think a young chinese kid should prolly be around 15 to 16 sped past me in either a range rover or a hummer jeep, can’t remember, that walk sort of changed my perspective at that point from all the shit i was going through. i thought here i am worrying about my phone and my pc, but these guys have billions of nairas, my problems are actually very small, so i dismiss them at that point, its a good respite from what i was going through. took the next bus back to my city the next morning, and i got reimbursed for travel expenses, i then used the money with my phone and got a new 16, which is what im currently using. |

luckily enough, i got a programming gig in my city that paid me around 1.2 million in tranches, so the project ran for 3 months and i was getting approximately 400K a month, like 200K bi weekly, but cost of living and other expenses like food didn’t allow me to use the funds judiciously. in the middle of nowhere, a girl that normally comes to our office to advertise perfumes poured perfume oil on my laptop and thats how my pc spoilt, it really pained me, because for once my life was sort of coming together, i got a nice pc, i just got myself a 14 pro and i bought some new fits. it felt like my world fell apart because i did not even know how i will start looking for money to buy a new one. the girl just stood there clueless, the rage i felt then was indescribable but i had to calm my nerves, i know it wasn’t intentional. to cut the story short that is how i bacame laptop-less(does the word exists?) lol, i was severely depressed im not gonna lie, everything felt pointless, i felt back to porn and gooning, i was drowning for real. things felt pointless, the gym, daily discipline of waking up early, my house, hair was unkempt, i had to brute force my way out of the rut. i was using my office laptop to do client work, so uncomfortable, i was scared to take it home because my house gets burgled regularly. |

i launched my startup somewhere in march and we did great numbers, i had 1,500 users and over 40K views, but soon enough problems started coming up, users prefer a mobile app, i did the mental calculation and it will cost me at least 150K to pay for playstore and app store listing. i also had a guy that was pushing the marketing but he needs funds to keep going, he introduced me to some campus ambassadors and they requested tshirts, posters and some incentives to push the brand. the whole point is one needs money to make a startup work in Nigeria, the job i have is not enough to cater for my needs and also fund my startup. |

I read the viral Dan Koe article on X before I deleted it off my phone, it promised to help you change your life just by reading it. At the end of the day it just made me feel like I am making progress by doing the exercise in the article, I could push some feature or do some pushups. I already have a plan, I just need to make sure I follow it to the T. Dan Koe and Co (no pun intended) make money out of the attention their writings garner by engaging in it I’m literally giving them leverage over me. Never again. 1 Like |

I think Pinterest is my favorite social media app now, I like how it shows me different things that I am interested with zero fluff, it has a single user utility and you can use it alone without chatting or liking anything. 1 Like |

One goal is ticked off my 2026 list and I have like 4 to go. The app should be ready latest next week, I’ll be getting a domain as well, I really need the 10K active users, it would put me in a very nice spot to attract investments and to start bringing in some cash as well. I think I am on track to hit all of my goal successfully this year. family is here for a wedding and it’s been a fun weekends. I want to completely change some things this year to be honest else I’ll be cooked, it’s like seeing the fall of the 100th domino and if you don’t take any action it’s only a matter of time before the ripple effect catches up to you. Ameera is doing a trade exhibition at the stadium and I don’t think I’ll be going to be honest, got some work to round up. 1 Like |

I should always think of what the other party gets in any kind of arrangement I get into and I should not leave deals or partnerships open, it might build up resentment from the other party even if I think it’s a good deal for me. I should always ask them what they want out of it or what I can do to compensate them for their effort. |

my neighbor’s habit disgusts me. I normally leave the main gate open and only close the doors inside the house, so there’s still access to the parking space and the front yard. Most times I’m just too lazy to use the padlock and sometimes I just want to maintain the illusion of someone is inside because I was burgled twice last year. I came back home yesterday night around 11:30 ish and I met fresh bell pepper spread in the front yard and on top of the parking lot shade, I thought it’s my next door neighbor, because currently they have some furnitures in my store. I was thinking in the line of how giving people an inch and they’ll go a mile, I felt bad because it’s clearly an encroachment of privacy. In the morning while leaving for the office, I sent one boy in my neighborhood to tell her to pack the stuffs out of my house, so when I got back home around 6pm the disgusting pepper is still there and I went myself to tell her figured out maybe the boy didn’t tell her. Knocked on her door and she came out, I narrated the whole ordeal to her and told her to come pack it out, she told me that it’s not hers! are you kidding me? she said it’s for the neighbor behind her!! Are you fvcking kidding me? This is a woman I don’t even talk to at all, I felt pissed off and angry at that point I felt like going to her house to unleash the venom that’s building up in me. I left the neighbor’s door, heard her calling my name but I just ignored her, I ring up my pops and he said I should send someone to tell the woman to pack her disgusting bell pepper, coupled with the fact that she’s a married woman so I can’t confront her and shit. As I type this entry the fucking bell paper is still chilling in my front yard😑😑 1 Like |
