I've paid my dues enough to share what I share, carefully predicting outcomes based off of the little actions we all bring to the table.

I've been single, married, divorced, single again, enjoyed an active dating life and remarried. I've dated across different cultures, religion, age limits and different classes of women. I can tell you for sure that while no two men or women are the same, most actions would lead to the same reactions.

I can confidently say that the number of individuals who have NEVER EVER wanted to have and enjoy a loving, peaceful, and healthy committed relationship is truly insignificant as you'd be lucky to find one.

If we all have the knowledge and resources to find the man or woman we want, if we knew how to enjoy and keep them, we'd readily have them in our lives.

Therefore, the majority of adults who say they don't care about relationships are mostly reactionary, having been heartbroken multiple times, come from broken homes or have been abused by one, so much so that they've given up, and are now angrily REACTING to a life they didn't want in the first place.

I can tell you for sure that your relationship status is your CHOICE, and it has nothing to do with where you've been, but largely to do with where you are IN YOUR HEAD.

You can tell me you're loved, lovable and worthy of love, or that all men or women are cheats, unlovable and aren't worth the effort.

The truth however, is that you can't tell me that all men or vvomen are bad and expect to enjoy a happy relationship with them. In fact, when it's all going well, something will happen, because you were expecting it and working towards making it happen.

Since you're more interested in telling us,
"I told you so",
That's exactly what you're going to get, a CONFIRMATION of your fears, beliefs, worries, and notions you've carried on from precious relationships, several Facebook posts and old wives tales.

Now, you can still enjoy the best of relationships, no matter how many times you've fallen in and out of relationships.

Once you make up your mind that you DESERVE a happy, peaceful and loving relationship, right there and then, you'll create the FORCE FIELD that defines what you want, gets you ready to go the distance to find and keep it, and settle down to enjoy it, no matter how many people are saying otherwise, and dumping their fears on you.

Until you settle this part of your life, a thousand Shilohs, Facebook posts, Counseling sessions and even sure connections won't give you a Mr./Mrs. Right, which is actually anyone you commit towards enjoying your Heavens on Earth, and even if he or she walks into your life today, you'll most likely chase him or her away, because it's all in your head.

And do you know why were often talking about relationships?

Well, it's because we actually love them.
Just like money, both those who have it or not, are talking about it, because, we love relationships ☺️ 😁🤣.

Enjoy this moment and make it count.
Good morning.

If your partner finds out that you cheated on him or her, would that affect your marriage?

Would they lose it, if they found out that while you'd claimed you were busy at a meeting, you were actually in bed with someone else?

Would you do anything within your power to make sure that he or she never finds out?

If the answer to those three questions is "Yes", chances are that your justification for your actions don't make any sense.

It means that you STILL HAVE a functional monogamous marital relationship.

It means that you still care about PROTECTING your marriage.

It means that you're not ready for a DIVORCE, and that a break up will affect you in more ways than one.

It means that while you were enjoying yourself, you were clearly not thinking through THE RISK you were taking with your family.

While you may not like it, the fact is that
Anyone who chides you for cheating on your partner, or interrupts the activity, is not your enemy, but a true friend.

If you hang out with fellow married adults who don't chide you when they see you cheating on your spouse, but laugh it off as one of those things, they're not your friends.

If they cheer you on as a sharp guy or babe, instead of PROTECTING you from your EXCESSES and doing all they can to bring you closer to your partner, they're not your friends.

If they're always showing you the latest chick or guy in town, asking you for updates on how it went, and celebrating you for smashing the latest, they're not your friends.

True friends want you to keep enjoying what brings out the best in you. They don't DISTRACT you, but rather, they DEEPEN the love you share with your partner.

Your true friends can't be CELEBRATING your life partner, your better half, your lover, and your main G, and READILY create every OPPORTUNITY they can to enjoy you both separately than increasing the chances of bringing you guys together and MAINTAINING the love you share, even when it's difficult to do so.

Yes, they enjoy your company, but they won't do so at the detriment of the company you share with your partner.

In a world of bro codes and a thriving sisterhood, CHOOSE your friends wisely, but more importantly, CLEAN UP your space of those who don't care about who's truly IMPORTANT in your life.

7 life lessons you should have learnt before your 21st birthday.

I'm 40, and age by far is a subjective term, however, the age of 21 often carries SIGNIFICANT societal and legal implications, marking the threshold to adulthood in many cultures. As a transition from adolescence to adulthood, I'm sharing these pivotal lessons that can profoundly shape one's journey, and when learnt early enough, they become the groundwork for personal and professional development, making it an opportune time to glean wisdom that can foster resilience, self-awareness, and a solid foundation for the future.

1. Self-Discovery is an Ongoing Process:

Self-discovery is important, but when you understand that discovering who you are is a continuous process, you hack into a new portal of life where you embrace change and growth, allowing yourself the flexibility to evolve. You enjoy life on a whole new level and never define your life by your own experiences, but by your dreams and aspirations because every given moment becomes an opportunity of discovering and enjoying what you learn of your life's journey.

2. Learn to Manage Time:

Time is a valuable resource, but even at 50, many adults can't tell you what they'll do in the next hour. They expect that somehow, they'll finish a task, but if they'd learned how to connect seconds, minutes, hours, and days, they can make significant changes in their lives.

If you develop effective time management skills early on to juggle responsibilities, pursue interests, and maintain a healthy work-life balance, you can go through ANYTHING, as long as you live.

3. Cultivate Resilience:

Goals will have to be ACHIEVED. But to do so, we must face certain challenges. By 21, you should have learnt that this is just part of the STORY, and having understood this, you cultivate resilience to not only push through your obstacles, but also BOUNCE BACK from setbacks, using them as OPPORTUNITIES for learning and personal development.

This is the game changer between those who win and keep winning in life, and those who give up on life because of one heartbreak, financial loss or career setbacks. One of these or more will happen in your life. Learning how to manage them is all the difference you need.

4. Healthy Habits Matter:

One night at the club, one extra meal, staying up all night for a movie, and a few other little things could add up to the disaster we can all avoid. Establishing good physical and mental health habits early on sets the foundation for a more vibrant and fulfilling life. It has nothing to do with any moral codes, but a clear understanding that "I don't do this or that, because it's not healthy for me".

Once you know what's healthy and not, it's then easier to PRIORITIZE regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep.

5. Financial Awareness:

Money matters, and that's a fact you'll learn, especially when you start paying your own bills. BUILDING financial literacy quite early is a basic NECESSITY of life. Therefore, by 21, you should have learnt about budgeting, saving, and responsible spending to establish a solid financial foundation for the future.

I think that financial literacy is not just for managing and enjoying your life, but of those that'll come into your life, a family that'll depend on what you do with your money, and a world that'll be better off with how you spend it around them, either to build or to destroy what we've built.

6. Prioritize Mental Health:

At 21, it's important to understand that taking care of your mental well-being is CRUCIAL, and that you shouldn't hesitate to seek support when needed, and practice self-care regularly to maintain a healthy balance in your life. While this is your life, you're better off sharing and enjoying the support you can get from support systems that are available for those who KNOW that they need them and are BOLD enough to ask for help.

Mind you, your mental health is not just about creating and enjoying certain environments, but also in removing yourself from them. Having the courage to walk away, places you on a whole new level of life.

7. Build Strong Relationships:

You'll be lucky to find one person who vibes with you on this planet. Treasure him or her, and if you find more than one, you're rich. Invest time in nurturing MEANINGFUL connections with friends and family. These relationships provide support, joy, and a sense of belonging that can be invaluable throughout life. We're social beings, and the more solid our networks, the more we'll get out of life.

Now,
If you've read up to this point, I have an 8th for you.

8. Follow Your Passion:

PURSUE what genuinely EXCITES and FULFILLS you. It may take time to find your true calling, but aligning your work with your passions can lead to a more fulfilling and rewarding life. If you learn this early enough, you'll not follow the crowd, you'll not be pushed around, and you'll soon realize that at the end of the day, we'll all celebrate WHOEVER lives, loves and enjoys his or her life.

Enjoy your life, even if you just learnt these today.

If your life FEELS like sh*t, you're most likely NOT following through on your COMMITMENTS.

If you want to change that feeling, COMMIT to doing EVERYTHING you say, from waking up, getting up, dressing up, showing up, and grinding on your goals.

Regardless of your current situation,
This commitment can transform DESPAIR into EXCITEMENT as you see each little step adding up to the life you know you truly deserve.

Good morning.

Of the
✅24,537 attempted shots he took in his career,
✅6 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP) awards,
✅10 NBA scoring titles (both all-time records),
✅5 NBA MVP awards,
✅10 All-NBA First Team designations,
✅9 All-Defensive First Team honors,
✅14 NBA All-Star Game selections,
✅3 NBA All-Star Game MVP
and so much more,

Here's what Michael Jordan said of all those:

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times I've been trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life, and that is why I succeed."

If you wake up to your failures, you'll never win.
If you wake up, get up, dress up, show up and grind, REGARDLESS of your failures, you'll win sooner than later.

Greatness is all about your ability to stay on course NO MATTER WHAT, and your smartest enemy doesn't care about beating you to the game.

No!

They actually FRUSTRATE you into SUBMISSION, where you WILLINGLY beat yourself by giving up on yourself and your dreams, ALL BY YOURSELF.

Don't Give Up!
Try Again, and
Do have a lovely day.

You're not reading this by accident.
As an Artist, my experiences and learning have empowered me to say what I say, and chief amongst them is that we're here to SURVIVE, and we're either surviving PEACEFULLY or in CONFLICTS.

If you KNEW how to survive peacefully, would you rob thy neighborhood just because "man must survive"?

Not at all.

Those who h*rt others to survive, do so because they don't know OTHERWISE.

Had they KNOWN and UNDERSTOOD that

"Onye ji igu ka ewu na eso"

They wouldn't stress themselves unnecessarily.

People FOLLOW VALUE.
I do.
You do.
Your dog does, and EVERYTHING around you RESPONDS to value.

If you FOCUS on CREATING value around you, you'll NATURALLY take care of yourself, as well as your friends and even your enemies.

Ah, you didn't see that last part?

Naaaaa!

As a matter of fact,
I don't provoke my enemies.
I don't fight them either.

I simply but faithfully DEFEND my TERRITORY, and TEACH them lessons they'll NEVER FORGET.

But more importantly,
I FOCUS on creating such values that my enemies can't DENY, IGNORE or DO WITHOUT.

Hate him till tomorrow, Dangote is doing his thing. If you don't buy from him today, you'll buy from someone who bought from him yesterday, and he's just content being himself.

The point is,
We're all NATURALLY drawn to value.
Create value and we can't IGNORE you, even when we DON'T like you.

So, don't waste your energy FOCUSING on who doesn't like you. Invest THAT energy in INCREASING your value, and believe you me, they'll hate themselves for TRYING not to like what they see😂😁, an internal struggle that hurts them much more than whatever pain you'll personally inflict on them.

It's a New day.
Be f*cking valuable to YOURSELF and the world around you, and we'll REWARD you with our time, our love and that money you're looking for.

12/11/2023

I'm not sure I've seen a truly happily married man who goes about policing singles, asking why they're not married and why they should get married.

If they do, chances are that they're unhappily married, and misery loves company.

Children need to be told why they need to eat this or that, but not an adult who has grown to realize WHY he or she needs a particular kind of food, and will readily pay the price to have it.

Marriage is not for children, but for adults who know WHAT they need at that PARTICULAR POINT in their lives, a partner whose presence, means more to them than staying without one.

Therefore, a contentedly married man does not EVANGELIZE the virtues of marriage because he UNDERSTANDS that happiness is multifaceted and not solely contingent on MARITAL STATUS.

Recognizing the UNIQUENESS of each person's journey, he advocates for INDIVIDUAL FULFILLMENT and PERSONAL GROWTH, emphasizing that HAPPINESS can be discovered in diverse relationships, pursuits, and personal aspirations, NOT EXCLUSIVELY within the institution of marriage.

In doing so, he fosters a more inclusive perspective on happiness that transcends traditional norms and societal expectations.

If you're waiting to read 10 reasons as to why you should marry on my wall, then, marriage isn't for you. But I'll gladly show you how to enjoy a married life, just like I did when I was single.

This is your life.
Enjoy it and make it count.
WHEN and IF you need a partner, you'll invite us to your wedding.

However,
Any single person who keeps emphasizing on why you mustn't marry is living an UNHAPPY and an UNFULFILLED life.

Wallai!
You can't have it both ways.
It's either you're happily married or happily single, and if you're either of both, you can't have time for the other.

I feel that such singles do that because they don't have it, so, they're constantly talking about what they don't have, because they really wished they could, but don't have it just yet.

And since we rarely see those who got what they wanted by bashing it, instead of celebrating it, such people rarely get it.

Marriage is not a COMPETITION.
It's a RESPONSIBILITY.
It's a FULL-TIME job, and not everyone will ever marry, or even get to marry their FRIEND.

So, enjoy every PHASE of your life, and what they don't really tell us that much is that you CAN'T get back your time once it's gone.

Enjoy your SINGLE life.
And if you're HAPPILY married,
Enjoy every moment you share with your spouse, for it won't last forever.

Oh yes!
If you married at 30, and you live up to 90 with your spouse, that's 60 long years.
Eventually, one of you will die, and that's it.

This life's a pooing session.
You can either say, "it's just sh*t", or
You can sh*t like Royalty, but it's all up to you.
While it lasts, MAKE IT COUNT!

08/11/2023

The idea of SETTING and even WRITING down your GOALS is not that you have ALL THE ANSWERS for how you're going to achieve them, but that with your limited amount of time and other resources, you know EXACTLY what you have to achieve, and what's not important in your life's journey.

It's like buying a ticket and heading to the airport, without knowing the plane you'd be boarding or even the route the pilot will take, since you're not a pilot.

You simply know you're heading to PH, and if you just follow the steps from buying a ticket, to checking in and boarding the right plane, you'll arrive at your destination, all things being equal.

That's why the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION we'll ever have to answer at any given point in time is,

"What do you want?"

If you can answer that as CLEARLY AS POSSIBLE, you'll most likely achieve anything you want, for then, you'll be faced with the next question, which is,

"What do you have to do or become to have or become what or who you want?

07/11/2023

It's my opinion that in and of itself, the biggest threat to the development of minority groups are Model Minorities.

What are Model Minorities?

The concept of "model minority" refers to the PERCEPTION of certain minority groups as successful, hardworking, and achieving higher socioeconomic status than other groups.

That's to say that if someone from a particular minority group is doing far better than the average member of the minority group and is competing way above other groups, such a person is refered to as a Model Minority.

It's like telling the average Nigerian woman that she's not working hard enough since Dr. Mrs. Okonjo Iweala heads the IMF, and if she can achieve such a position, other women, both as women and even from her ethnic group, have no excuses.

While this might seem POSITIVE and even INSPIRING, it can inadvertently create various issues.

Firstly, it can MASK the challenges and disparities within the minority community by GENERALIZING their success, leading to the assumption that other members of the group should EASILY replicate the same achievements, DISREGARDING systemic barriers or inequalities they face.

Moreover, it can create division within the minority groups, where those who don't fit the "model minority" stereotype might feel ISOLATED or OVERLOOKED, AMPLIFYING their struggles and HINDERING support for their development.

Additionally, the stereotype might be used to JUSTIFY discrimination or NEGLECT towards other minority groups, ASSUMING that if one minority group can succeed, all should be able to do so WITHOUT facing obstacles, neglecting the diversity of experiences and challenges within EACH COMMUNITY.

Thus, the "model minority" stereotype, while appearing positive on the surface, can be detrimental as it OVERSIMPLIFIES the complex issues faced by various minority groups and INHIBITS a more comprehensive approach to address their diverse needs and challenges for development.

Interestingly, some Model Minorities, while trying to maintain their statuses, far away from the average member of their group, often BELITTLE the struggles of the group, often calling them lazy and uninspired, placing more emphasis on their need to work harder, than lending a voice towards providing the BASIC amenities that'll bridge the socioeconomic gaps around them.

You know why?
Strangely, many Model Minorities would rather enjoy their positions as MODELS, than fight for the wellbeing of their group, for then, they'll no longer be Models, UNIQUE and DISTINCT from the rest of the group, a sense of SUPERIORITY they'll rather sacrifice their group's well-being to protect.

At the end of the year,
We'll still buy new cars, build new houses and still spray money at parties, and when you discuss about the year, the government and the obvious socioeconomic gap that has widened between the rich and the poor, don't be surprised to hear SUCH Model Minorities who have escaped the year's shege, tell you to work harder, and maybe, you'd be lucky to enjoy next year.

06/11/2023

Don't be deceived. The weak will surely rise.
Don't build relationships on weaknesses and think you're enjoying today, because they're weak.

Definitely,
The weak will rise, and they'll rise when you least expect it.

That your Simp won't simp forever, neither will the quiet and understanding lady, understand forever.

They'll rise someday, and you'll wonder what happened to all that "it's okay dear".

Don't build relationships on weaknesses, instead, build on your STRENGTHS, and even when they can't see it, stand on it and build anyway.

Even when they don't see themselves as Kings and Queens, treat them like Royalty.
But if you do what you know he or she doesn't like because he or she doesn't talk about it, the dump will surely speak someday.

And if you can,
Don't marry the weak, because you think he or she's WEAK ENOUGH for your shenanigans.

Marry because you KNOW and not only LOVE WHO they really are, but because you respect them, even when they don't know themselves as much, and you treat them as they deserve, even they feel they don't deserve it.

Gold doesn't come out refined.
The extraction of gold from ore is a MULTI-STEP procedure that necessitates the use of hazardous chemicals such as cyanide and mercury.

So, he who finds Gold, and knowing what it is, PRESERVES it, PATIENTLY REFINES it, and TREATS it with RESPECT, long before it's refined and increases in VALUE.

If you toss your unrefined Gold around, someday, it'll be refined, and you'll be shocked that what you once despised, is now so priceless that you can't afford it.

Good morning.

05/11/2023

HELPLESSLY INFERIOR people don't like standing around CONFIDENT people because they feel intimidated and unsafe, not because the confident take away their confidence, but because the confident are busy ENJOYING a life they can only imagine, a life that doesn't do what it does BECAUSE of what it has or not, but because of WHAT IT IS.

They don't know this,
So, they h*te the confident, and could beome ENVIOUS, and even JEALOUS of them.

They distance themselves from the confident, and if they can't, they hu*t them so they can either get away from them, or so they can stop being as confident as they were around them.

Why?
They do these because they have no personal dreams or goals, and funny enough, they don't even think they deserve to have one.

So, if you share yours with them, they could simply say,

"Congratulations!" and wish you all the best.

However, if you share it often, you'll be surprised to see them start ignoring you.

And if it becomes your regular confession,
Omo!
They'll simply h*te you, and even argue that you're cocky, and "full of yourself".

What's your offense?
You're CONFIDENT, CONTENT, and have KNOWN YOURSELF well enough to enjoy life AS IT IS, WHETHER you have what they have or not.

As simple as it is,
One of your life hacks should be to UNDERSTAND how the people around you THINK.

If they feel inferior,
If they're not CONSCIOUSLY CONFIDENT about themselves, no matter how close you are,
Chances are that they may SUDDENLY become your worst enemy.

I kid you not.

They'll run you street, and when you pay attention, you'd realize that they were simply ENVIOUS and have become JEALOUS, just because you were TOO CONFIDENT for their liking.

The key to your SURVIVAL however is,

1. Avoid their company, if you can.
We may be brothers, but we must not be friends.

"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."

That's actually what it says, and not "blood is thicker than water."

Choose your friends INTENTIONALLY, and let them be those who're on the same path with you, EXCITED and PASSIONATE about achieving THEIR goals, JUST LIKE YOU.

2. Intentionally MESS UP once in a while.

I've read,
"You don't have to dim your light for anyone else to feel comfortable around you."

As true as it sounds,
To stay alive in certain environments you can't control, mess up once in a while, and smash their ideas of your perfection.

Give them something to talk about and
Let them laugh at you, as it makes them feel good about themselves.

And while they're laughing at you, QUIETLY achieve your biggest goals.

That way, they'll end each session with,
"Oh, I didn't see that coming."

However,
They won't h*te you as much as they're self-absorbed with the joy of your most recent failure or losses.

You see,
Their inferiority makes them afraid of failures and setbacks. So, they can't imagine a successful life with setbacks, and when they see you with a few setbacks, they see you like they see themselves, because they can't see beyond SETBACKS, which is why they don't try to transform their lives, even when you give them the blueprint for doing so.

Interestingly,
This is how many of them think.
They're more interested in having something that identifies you with them, instead of having to identify with you as a CONFIDENT WINNER.

I'd have liked to mention number 3, but since it's a Sunday morning, we don't need a long sermon. Tell me what you think about number 3 in the comments section.
Enjoy a lovely day.

If na Naija be this,
One preacher would have been telling Mark that God delivered him, that his enemies are at work, he needs more prayers and that once he recovers, he should come for thanksgiving, as God had just spared his life for a divine purpose, and of course, there's no credit to the doctors.

Na life we dey so.
When you suffer setbacks, you're not a failure, you're not haunted by village people, and you don't need any family deliverance.

You simply need to take RESPONSIBILITY for your life, CORRECT your mistakes, and move on, and if you've set some GOALS, keep working on them for your little SETBACKS are all part of the JOURNEY.

Don't allow anyone tell you otherwise.
This is your story, and funny enough,
You're not just the PROTAGONIST, but you're also the AUTHOR.

If you've written a bad script,
Correct it with all the tools at your disposal and MOVE ON!

With a successful surgery, Ngannou recoverd from a knee injury after defending his title at UFC 270, stepped into the boxing ring and gave Tyson Fury a fight of a lifetime.

Mark will recover, and I can't wait to see what he does at the Octagon.
