WATCH THOSE THAT SURROUND YOU

-

Let me give you some sincere advice if you are serious about making headway in life.

This is advice worth taking if you are not joking about your decision to go far in life.
Surround yourself with people who encourage you, I mean people who build you up. I mean people who have words of encouragement for you almost every time.
Certainly, you need people who will be honest enough to tell you the truth when you are making a poor choice or taking a wrong step.
It is dangerous to surround yourself only with "Yes men" who will never see anything wrong in all that you do and always urge you to "carry go" even when you are on the highway to hell.
However, the fact also remains that you must not tolerate a set of negative, cynical, and critical people. I mean people who are always ready to tell you the 99 reasons why an idea won't work instead of the one reason why it can work.
Be wary of people who focus more on what is wrong with you than what is right with you. You won't go far in life and career having such people around you.
Do not stay too long around people with negative vibes. Do not hang out with those who always project negative energy toward you and all that you do.
There is, therefore, a need for you to strike a balance in relationships.
Don't surround yourself with negative people who will keep planting seeds of doubt, fear, low self-esteem, and discouragement in your mind.
Don't also surround yourself with people who will always encourage you even when you are doing wrong.
However, it is safer, better, and wiser to surround yourself with people who will always tell you that you have what it takes to fulfill your God-given vision and to accomplish your dreams than with people who will always tell you that you don't know what you are doing!

Just Saying😑

The Painful Reality of Life: When the Rain Stops, the Umbrella Becomes a Burden

-

Life often teaches us some of its harshest lessons through the simplest of metaphors. Consider the umbrella, a faithful companion during a storm. It shelters us, keeps us dry, and provides comfort against the elements. But once the rain ceases, that very umbrella, so crucial moments ago, becomes a cumbersome burden. This transition captures a painful truth about loyalty and human relationships: when the benefits cease, so too does the loyalty. In our lives, many people flock to us not for who we are but for the value we bring and the benefits they can derive from us. They thrive on the opportunities, support, and advantages we offer. As long as we are useful, as long as we can provide shelter from life's storms, we are cherished and needed. But when the rain stops—when the benefits diminish—these same people often disappear, leaving us to ponder the true nature of our connections. This realization can be incredibly disheartening. We yearn for genuine relationships, for loyalty that...

Who’s Worth the Pain

  The truth is everybody is going to hurt you at some point. No matter how much love, loyalty, or effort you give, people are human, and humans make mistakes. They’ll disappoint you, misunderstand you, and sometimes even break your heart. Your best friend might forget to show up when you need them most. A partner you trusted might say something that cuts deep. A family member might not understand your dreams, and their words might sting more than they realize. But that’s not the point of life or love. The real question is: who is worth suffering for? Because some people come into your life and leave behind scars, while others leave behind lessons. Some take from you and walk away, leaving you emptier than before. But a few, a precious few will stay. Even after the arguments, the distance, and the silence… they’ll come back. They’ll own their flaws. They’ll apologize, not because they have to, but because they care enough to try again. They’ll remind you that love isn’t perfe...

Welcome to Nigeria, Where Opinions Come with Expiry Dates

As I was reading the comments about Tuface Idibia and Natasha, I honestly had to pause and ask myself: What exactly is wrong with people on this social media space? The hypocrisy is so loud it should have its own BVN. 😂 All of a sudden, Annie Idibia don turns angel Gabriel’s PA. The same Nigerians that dragged her like faulty Keke brake are now pretending she’s the standard for sainthood. Abeg, Nigerians will confuse even Google Maps. Nigeria is a comedy club disguised as a nation. One minute they are moral judges, the next minute they are motivational speakers, then by evening they are FBI agents with fake evidence. Nobody switches character faster than a Nigerian on social media. 😂 But let me talk to the men in the back: Please, protect your peace like your life depends on it because it actually does. If you break down, these same people will type “Omo, eyaaa. Stay strong bro 🙏🏽” while drinking cold malt and dragging someone else. 😂 Don’t let anyone stress you especially...
