When someone tells you to get home safe, stay warm, have a good day, or sleep well, I hope you understand what they're really saying is, 'I love you.'" (Unknown)
Yes, when someone tells you to "get home safe," the unspoken words resonate far deeper than a simple expression of concern. It's a whispered prayer for your well-being, a silent wish for your protection woven into the fabric of their everyday language.
"Stay warm," "have a good day," "sleep well"—these seemingly mundane phrases transform into profound declarations of love, a gentle reminder that you are held in the heart of another.
They are tiny anchors in the vast sea of life, tethering you to the warmth of human connection, offering solace in the knowledge that you are cherished, that your safety and happiness matter. These simple words, spoken with genuine care, are a testament to the power of unspoken affection, a quiet affirmation that you are loved, deeply and unconditionally.

“Hey, how are you?” the eraser asked the pencil kindly.

“I’m not your friend,” the pencil snapped. “I hate you.”

Surprised and hurt, the eraser asked, “Why?”

“Because you erase everything I write.”

“I only remove the mistakes,” the eraser replied gently.

“That doesn’t make it right,” said the pencil.

“But that’s what I’m here for. It’s my purpose.”

“Then your job is meaningless,” grumbled the pencil. “Writing is more important than erasing.”

“To erase the wrong is just as important as writing the right,” the eraser said.

The pencil paused, then quietly said, “But I see you getting smaller each day…”

“That’s because I give a little bit of myself every time I help correct a mistake.”

“I feel smaller too,” the pencil admitted.

“We can’t do good for others unless we’re willing to sacrifice something,” the eraser smiled.

Then she looked at him and softly asked, “Do you still hate me?”

The pencil smiled back:
“How could I hate someone who gives so much of themselves?”

Each day we wake up with one day less.
If you can’t be the pencil that creates joy for others, be the eraser that wipes away their pain, planting hope and reminding them:
*The future can still be better than the past*.

*Be grateful, ALWAYS!*.

Capacity is an individual's mental ability, physical ability, or power to produce, perform, or deploy.

My Pearl,
From the very first moment, you made me feel seen — truly, deeply adored. And now that we’re married, it’s even more surreal. I find myself smiling at the littlest things: the way your eyes soften when you look at me, the sound of your laughter echoing through our shared space, the warmth of your arms wrapped around me at night.

Being your partner feels like stepping into the most beautiful chapter of my life. You have awakened in me a version of love I never knew existed — the kind that dances in the quiet, thrives in the ordinary, and sings even on the rainy days.

This is my humble attempt to say thank you — thank you for choosing me, for cherishing me, for making me feel like I matter every single day. I hope to be all of that and more for you.

You are my heart’s favorite rhythm, my soul’s safest place. And with every breath I take, I promise to love you in ways both grand and subtle — to adore you endlessly, fiercely, and faithfully.

Yours, in every heartbeat,
Hubby

Stop telling yourself that you’re ****** for loving them!
Stop regretting the fact that you loved them so deeply, that you unconditionally gave them your entire heart, your soul, your mind, your body, and everything that you had to offer.
That’s exactly what you’re meant to do!
You were meant to love them deeply.
You were meant to fight for your relationship and for the person you loved so dearly.
What they chose to do with your love has absolutely nothing to do with the value of your love.
There is nothing to regret, and there’s no reason to keep telling yourself that you were ****** for not seeing things sooner.
You weren’t ******, you loved and trusted someone in good faith who should have loved you back.
You weren’t supposed to be looking out for things.
You were supposed to feel safe and loved.
What they did has nothing to do with you.
What they did comes from who they were long before you came along, and they chose not to deal with it.
So take all of the hurt and all of the pain, heal from it but learn the lessons from it because you’ll be better for it.
Sometimes the reason things don’t work out is because you deserve so much better than what you were settling for; and you now get to take the beautiful new person that you’re becoming as a result of everything you’ve been through, and give that to someone who truly deserves your heart.
You get to give the best version of yourself to someone who actually appreciates you, who appreciates how hard you've worked on yourself, and to someone who matches the effort and love that you give to them.
Someone who knows how to love properly, and who’s ready to give love from a place of love.
Someone who sees your worth for not only who you already are, but who you’re also becoming.
So don’t let the person who lost you steal that away from you.
Feel proud of the love you gave.
Feel proud that you gave them your soul, and that you loved as deeply as you could have because that says more about who you are as a person, and that’s something to be truly proud of.
Feel proud about knowing that the one who treats you right will receive all of you.
Know your worth and never forget how valuable your love and presence really is.
You weren't ******, you did exactly what you were meant to do because what you gave was a reflection of your character and the values that you place around love

Maybe life took something from you—
something you can’t replace.
Or someone who held your heart,
and now the world feels too empty without them.

Maybe the chance of a lifetime slipped away,
and regret keeps you awake at night.
Maybe your body is fighting you,
and healing feels impossibly far.
Maybe you’ve given everything—
and still, nothing changes.

You’re trapped. Not just in your mind, but in the crushing weight of reality with chains, ancient.

I know how it feels: Like;
- Screaming into the wind, and no one hears.
- Sinking deeper, and the water is closing over your head.
- Every piece of you is breaking, and no one notices.
- Like this can’t possibly be real—yet the pain won’t let you forget.
- Seriously burning alive—and no one even sees the smoke.
- Drowning in the dark as if the world forgot you existed.

But here’s what’s also real:
You are still here.
And that means you still have fight left.

This pain? It’s not the end of your story.
It’s the turning point.

Don’t you dare give up.
Because the world needs exactly what only you can bring.

And if no one has told you today—I believe in you.

Now, believe this too.

Why?

Listen to me:

Because the strongest comebacks start at rock bottom. And you? You’re still breathing which means there's assurance.

As you read this, just smile even if you don't feel like it. This is the time to take a long walk, I bet it will help.

I used to be womanizer – Actor Daniel Etim-Effiong

Popular Nollywood actor, Daniel Etim-Effiong, has revealed that he used to be a womanizer at some point in his life, but added that it was brief.
In an interview with Chude Jideonwo, the engineer-turned-actor recalled “exploring” with multiple women at the same time. He described the experience as a learning process.

He said he often advised young people to shun womanizing because it can affect their relationships and marriages in the future, stressing that it might prove difficult to quit.

Chude asked: “Were you a womanizer before you got married?”

Etim-Effiong replied: “It depends on what is your definition of a womanizer.”
Chude inferred: “A man who dates multiple women at the same time.”
Etim-Effiong: “Maybe there was a time in my life I was. Definitions would differ, but in that definition, maybe there was a period in my life that I was, I wouldn’t say for long periods of my life. Maybe for some certain periods that I explored. So, perhaps.”

Chude asked: “Was it good periods?”
Etim-Effiong replied: “Yes, they were periods of learning for me. If I learned, then they were good periods.”

Chude asked: “What did you learn?”

Etim-Effiong replied: “I learned that certain things don’t necessarily bring you the fulfilment that you think they would. On paper, it feels like that is the life, but in experientially maybe not.

“I tell young people a lot that it is cool to be a player but if you develop that habit or lifestyle, you won’t automatically change overnight.
“So, don’t develop something you don’t want to continue for the rest of your life. If you are not able to commit to one person, if you jump from one relationship to another, that won’t automatically change when you marry.
“When you marry that muscle hasn’t been developed so you encounter one challenge and you want to immediately jump or you just be like, ‘I’m talking to you, you are not listening to me, let me find somebody that would listen to me.’
“If you are the kind of person that before you got married it was easy for you to just walk away, keep different relationships, keep ladies on the string, that won’t change when you get married.”

Today is a blank page in the story of your life. No matter what yesterday held, today holds the power of choice, of change, and of growth. Breathe deeply, walk boldly, and remember—you are becoming stronger, wiser, and more radiant with every step. Keep going. You are not behind; you are exactly where your journey needs you to be.”

When ALAO Akala was Governor, he hardly spent weekends in Ibadan. Every Friday, he would travel to Ogbomoso to sleep there.

One day, while on his way to Ogbomoso with his convoy, he looked out from his car and saw a man whose car had broken down. The man was trying to fix his tyres. Akala told his convoy to stop. Everyone was surprised because they did not know that the man on the road was Akala's classmate from secondary school in Ghana.

Akala got out of his car and ran to meet him. They hugged each other warmly, and even though his friend’s hands were dusty, Akala did not mind. After a short chat, Akala asked one of his aides to collect the car key and fix the car. Then he told his friend to join him in his own car. Together, they went to the Governor’s house in Ogbomoso.

After they ate a meal of Amala, Gbegiri and Ewedu, they sat and talked about life since their days in Ghana. Akala asked him, Why have you not come to visit me Do you not know that I am the Governor His friend replied, It is not easy to see you They might embarrass me

Akala immediately gave him a brand new Toyota Camry and some money. He then said, Come and see me on Monday in the office with a good proposal

That was how Akala changed the life of a friend he had not seen in many years.

May God send people your way who will help and bless you.

Lessons from this story

Always treat your friends well, no matter their status

Help others when you are in a position of power

Stay humble and kind because it can change lives

Think about it

How many of your old classmates or friends have you helped when you had the chance

Did you become proud and treat them badly

Do you behave as if your success is only your doing

Were you even the best in school

Akala helped his classmate when he had the power to do so. You too should help your friends and classmates when you have the chance.

Remember, your position today will not last forever. One day, you will be called former or ex. The way you treat people today may affect how your own children are treated in the future.

As the Yoruba saying goes, Time and season rule life, no one owns life forever

Let us all learn from Akala’s example and try to make a positive impact in the lives of others.

God will connect you to the right people who will help you reach your goals.

The Monkey’s Regret

Tambo and Zubi had been friends for as long as either of them could remember. They were born in the same fig tree, played on the same vines, and grew up in the same stretch of the forest. Tambo was lively and restless, always eager to prove himself. Zubi was quieter, the kind of friend who listened more than he spoke, but when he spoke, it mattered.

One dry season, the elders of the forest announced a special event—a Fruit Gathering Day, where every animal was invited to bring the finest fruit they could find. It wasn’t a competition in name, but everyone knew it was. The best fruit would be praised, and whoever brought it would enjoy a bit of respect and admiration.

Tambo, never one to miss a chance to shine, threw himself into the task. But the drought had dried many of the usual fruit trees, and all he could find were half-ripe bananas and overripe guavas. Meanwhile, Zubi quietly climbed a remote tree by the stream and returned with a fruit neither of them had seen in weeks—a smooth, ripe plum, deep red and firm.

Tambo couldn’t stop looking at it.

The night before the gathering, he stayed awake turning the thought over in his head. “Zubi doesn’t even care for these things. He’s not interested in being praised. I could just take it for tomorrow… and return it after the gathering. It’s only one fruit.”

And so, he did.

Zubi was confused the next morning when he couldn’t find the plum. But he didn’t say much, just looked around for a while, then carried his bananas to the gathering.

Tambo presented the plum. Animals admired it. A few nodded their approval. The elders complimented him on the find. It wasn’t a grand victory, just quiet recognition. But Tambo couldn’t enjoy it.

When he looked at Zubi across the clearing, his friend’s face was calm—but distant. They walked home in silence.

Days passed. The easy laughter between them faded. Zubi still greeted him, still shared food, still offered help when needed—but something unspoken had settled between them, and Tambo felt it with every word that didn’t come.

He thought about returning the fruit, or confessing. But what would that change?

Months went by.

Then, during the next rainy season, the riverbanks overflowed. One morning, word came that Zubi had gone to help a stranded animal near the flooded stream and hadn’t returned.

Tambo ran without thinking. When he reached the edge of the swollen water, he saw Zubi holding onto a branch, stuck in thick mud, water rising fast. There were no crowds, no drama—just two friends in trouble.

Tambo found a long stick, waded into the edge of the water, and held it out. He slipped once but kept his grip. With effort and a quiet word of encouragement, he helped Zubi back to dry land.

No one cheered. There were no dramatic rescues or grand gestures. Just two monkeys sitting on wet ground, breathing hard, side by side again.

As they rested under a tree, Tambo finally said, “It was me. I took the plum that day. I thought it was just fruit, but I knew what it meant.”

Zubi looked at him for a long time before replying. “I knew,” he said simply. “But I also knew you’d come back.”

They didn’t talk about it again. But over time, the silence between them changed. Not quite like before, but honest, and steady.

Tambo never sought admiration again. What mattered most, he had nearly lost. And quietly, without words, he began to rebuild what truly mattered.

Moral: Some mistakes aren’t fixed with words. They’re fixed with actions—and time.
