Cost of keeping social relationship in Nigeria is very high.

There comes a point in your career, where you’re no longer paid for just what you do, you’re paid for how you think, the weight your name carries, and the insights you bring to the table.

Those days aren’t filled with tasks on a laptop anymore instead they’re spent in rooms, on calls, on trips, in meetings, shaping decisions, influencing outcomes, and providing clarity where others see chaos.

But that level of influence is earned. It comes from years of hard work, learning, failing, unlearning, and growing.

Now that you have the strength, show up, do the deep work, and build a name that speaks even when you are silent.

*I Was Just Hungry*

*— A Cry from The Traps Of Life đŸ˜„*

Yesterday, here on Facebook, a brother shared this heartbreaking image of a little mouse caught in a trap.

Its tiny eyes were swollen with tears.

Its paw was crushed. Blood stained the wooden floor beneath it. Yet, what caught my heart wasn’t the pain or the blood—but the words written beside it:

"I’m not a dangerous animal and I won’t hurt you. I was just hungry." đŸ˜„đŸ˜„

It took me back—way back to my early years in Alagbado , Lagos State.

There was a young boy in our compound named Chima. He was always dirty, always sneaking into kitchens when no one was looking.

At least once a week, someone would shout, “That Chima don carry my garri again oh!”

I remember how we mocked him. Called him “thief.”

Some adults would beat him up. One woman even tied him to a tree once, under the hot sun, for taking a piece of fried fish.

But what we didn’t know—what we never even asked—was that Chima was just hungry.

His mother had died when he was six. His father, a drunk, barely returned home with enough money to buy a sachet of pure water. Most nights, Chima and his younger sister slept on empty stomachs.

So, he learned to steal to survive. He learned to beg, to sneak, to be smart.

And while the world saw a thief, what he truly was
 was a boy in pain.

Now, years later, I see this mouse crying in a trap and I see Chima’s face.

I see the countless boys and girls in our streets.

I see the bus conductors who shout angrily—not because they enjoy it, but because life has never been kind.

I see the prostitutes in Allen Avenue , the young cult boys in Agege,

The jobless graduates walking the streets of Lagos and Abuja,

The countless prisoners in cells not because they’re wicked—but because they were just hungry.. đŸ˜„

Hunger isn’t always about food.

Some people are hungry for love.
Some are hungry for peace.
Some are hungry for hope.
Some are just hungry to be noticed—to be seen as human.

But what does society do?

We set traps.

We judge before asking questions.
We condemn before listening.
We punish without understanding.

And sadly, sometimes, even the Church—yes, the place meant for healing—becomes a trap too.. đŸ˜„

A brother falls into sin and we throw him out. A sister comes pregnant and we push her to the back. But have we ever stopped to ask: Why did she fall? What hunger was she trying to feed?

Beloved, this world is full of "mice"—innocent souls trapped not because they wanted to destroy anything, but because they were just trying to survive.

That boy who stole your phone may have lost both parents.

That girl in makeup and tight jeans may be the breadwinner of her family.

That man who sleeps under the bridge may once have been a promising young graduate—until life dealt him a bad card.

Let me ask you sincerely:

How many people have you judged lately without understanding their hunger?

How many "mice" have you set traps for in your heart—silently condemning them because their scars were too messy for your clean world?

The Bible says in Proverbs 21:13, “Whoso stoppeth his ears at the cry of the poor, he also shall cry himself, but shall not be heard.”

Every soul you ignore, every cry you silence, every pain you mock—you’re setting a trap for your own day of hunger.

My dear friend, life is deeper than appearances.

Sometimes, all a person needs is a listening ear, a plate of food, a kind word, or even just a smile.

Don’t be too quick to condemn.
Don’t let your heart become a trap.

Choose mercy. 👌
Choose kindness.🙌
Choose love.🎉

Do you know that, the small mouse in that image... Is....

That’s someone in your street today.
That’s a child in your church.
That’s your neighbour.
That could be you tomorrow.

Let this message touch your heart.

And if it does, don’t scroll away in silence.
Share it. Let the world know that not everyone who falls is evil. Some were just hungry.

Several dozen ants had fallen into a five-liter bottle of water that had been left open the night before. They waved chaotically in the transparent water, as if each one was fighting for its life.

At first, it seemed to me that they were drowning each other, saving themselves at the cost of the death of others.

This thought made me repulsed, and I turned away, deciding not to intervene.

However, after two hours, curiosity got the better of me, and I looked in the bottle again.

My astonishment knew no limits: the ants were alive! Furthermore, they had formed a true living island, a pyramid, in which some were supported by others, staying afloat like an entire colony.

I held my breath and began to observe. Those at the bottom were actually submerged in the water, but not forever. After a while, they were replaced by ants from the upper layer, which voluntarily descended. Those who were tired went up, without hurrying, without pushing the others.

Nobody tried to save themselves first. On the contrary, each one made an effort to go where it was most difficult. This coordinated system of mutual aid touched me to my core.

I couldn't resist. I found a spoon that easily passed through the neck of the bottle and carefully inserted it. Seeing salvation, the ants began to come out one by one, without generating even a drop of panic.

Everything was going well, until one of them, weakened, slipped back into the water, without reaching the edge.

And then something happened that I will remember all my life.

The last ant, almost outside, suddenly turned back. He came down, as if to say: "Hold on, brother, I won't leave you!"

She dove into the water, clinging tightly to the drowning one, but she couldn't pull him out on her own. I couldn't resist, I brought the spoon closer, and then they both came out, alive, together.

This episode moved me more than any movie or book about friendship and sacrifice. I felt a storm of emotions: first, condemnation, for having taken the ants for insensitive beings; then, amazement at his resistance; admiration for his discipline and brave sacrifice... And in the end, shame.

Shame on humans. For us. Because of indifference, because of how we lose each other in pursuit of benefits, because of how rare it is that someone comes back to save the weak. We build walls, instead of creating living bridges.

If ants, small creatures, are capable of such coordination and selflessness, why are we humans so often deaf to the suffering of others?

That day I understood one thing: true strength is in unity. And if someone still doesn't know how to live correctly, let them learn from the 🐜 🐜

*Surround yourself with people who share your vision.* Do not surround yourself with neg@tive people, hang with people who can help you succeed.

*Big names do not mean big brains* and better kill your pride before you loose your head. *During failure, ego picks dead time* because success and power can intoxicate.

*Do not worry about those that talk about you behind* your back because they are behind you for a reason. *You do not have time to waste* with such characters and you must remove them from your life.

*Many people gossip for attention.* If you ignore them they will get bored and stop talking about you. *It is better to have an enemy who slaps you* in the face than a friend who stabs you in the back.

*DID YOU KNOW?*

Using cotton buds on your ears is risky and can cause ear problems.

Using cotton swabs in your ears can pose several risks. let’s find out 👇

1. Earwax blockage: Pushing wax deeper into the ear canal can cause blockages.
2. Ear canal damage: Cotton buds can scratch or puncture the ear canal.
3. Infection risk: Introducing bacteria into the ear canal can lead to infections.
4. Impacted earwax: Using cotton buds can push wax further into the ear, making it harder to remove.

*Safe Ear Care:*
1. Avoid using cotton swabs: Instead, consult a healthcare professional for earwax removal.
2. Clean the outer ear: Gently clean the outer ear with a washcloth.
3. If you experience earwax buildup or discomfort, consult a healthcare professional.

*How to safely clean your ears*

1. There’s no need.
Why because your Ear are largely self cleaning

2. After a shower, cover your finger with dry towel to mop the moisture in your outer ear

Finally If your ear canal is completely blocked, it is best to consult your doctor or ear specialist because the inner ear in particular is a delicate structure and will require a professional to remove any 'dirt' from it safely or recommend appropriate treatment.

*Conclusion*
Your ears are not dirty
Stop using cotton swabs and causing problems for yourself

Have a nice day.

*When you leave someone in a dignified way,* you allow integrity and dignity into your life. *Peace is priceless.* Dealing with a coward is like dealing with a child that is emotionally bankrupt.

*Do not allow pains to define who you are.* You cannot live this life to the fullest if you are in the wrong place because *you need to choose a right place* where you will feel safe and be protected.

*When you observe your thoughts,* the important thing is to note them for what they are *without criticizing yourself.*
A fish will never know how to swim if he lives above the water.

The Lord said, *pray for the courage to walk away* from things that are not yours. Allow God to fight for you *because the battle is not yours.*

Where dreams meets, determination and greatness follows.

14/06/2025

_"What great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail?"_

Substituting the word ‘do’ with ‘attempt’ poses a very different question, one that allows for the distinct possibility of failure.

We are not born to succeed at every turn. We are born to try—to dream, to imagine, to strive, and to take risks. We are hardwired to practice failing.

We learned to walk by wobbling, to write by scribbling, and to make art by scratching rock with stones. We stumbled upon extraordinary ideas by experimenting and committing to acts of ordinary daily effort.

Progress comes from having faith in our resourcefulness, those rough proof of concepts and craaaazy experiments.

There is a reason why painting by numbers feels soulless (dont come for me ndi Sip n Paint) compared to attempting an original work of art.

All the joy comes from risking failure.

*Learning how to be yourself* in todays world is not always easy. No matter what you do, *you are not going to please* every single person in the world.

*Do everything in your power to find your voice* and take the next steps to live the life you have always wanted. *Resist the urge to constantly please others.*

*Every idea comes with imagination* and being true to your values is the *greatest gift you can give yourself.* What you imagine, is what you become and do not allow *yourself to dream beyond reality.*

The Lord said, *our life is the result of our actions.* We take actions according to *our thoughts and beliefs.*
