"A broken relationship is better than a broken marriage."

This statement carries a lot of wisdom. Here’s why:

1. Prevention Is Better Than Cure

Ending a relationship before marriage saves both parties from deeper emotional, financial, and sometimes even legal complications that come with divorce.

2. Marriage Is a Lifetime Commitment

Marriage is not just about love — it involves families, shared responsibilities, vows, and sometimes children. If major issues exist before marriage (like trust issues, abuse, lack of respect, or incompatibility), those problems usually grow worse after marriage, not better.

3. Better to Leave Than to Endure

Many people stay in toxic marriages hoping things will change, but end up deeply unhappy, depressed, or even endangered. Leaving a dating relationship is painful, yes — but it's often much easier and less damaging than ending a marriage.

4. Growth and Second Chances

A broken relationship can teach you valuable lessons and prepare you for a healthier, happier union in the future.

If you're facing a tough decision about a relationship, it's okay to walk away rather than force something that’s clearly not working. Peace of mind and emotional well-being are priceless.

*The Harsh Truths About MEN Nobody Wants to Admit*
(I found this interesting.)

1. Men are only loved based on what they provide.
A man without money, status, or value is invisible to society—even to his own family.

2. Men don’t get sympathy, only expectations.
A struggling man is mocked, not helped. The world doesn’t care about his pain—only his productivity.

3. If a man fails, he is on his own.
No safety net, no pity. A failed man is seen as useless, even by those who once praised him.

4. Men are only as good as their last achievement.
Your past success means nothing if you can’t maintain it. The moment you fall, you become irrelevant.

5. Nobody teaches men how to deal with emotions.
Society says “Be a man,” but never explains how to handle pain, stress, or heartbreak.

6. Men are judged by results, not effort.
Nobody cares how hard you try—if you don’t succeed, you’re just making excuses.

7. Men must build themselves from scratch.
No handouts, no shortcuts. A man must create his own value or be ignored.

8. Men’s problems are seen as complaints.
If a man speaks about his struggles, he’s called weak. If he stays silent, he suffers alone.

9. Men are replaceable.
In relationships, jobs, and even families—if a man can’t provide, he’s discarded like an old tool.

10. A man’s worth is always conditional.
No matter how much he loves, gives, or sacrifices, his value is always tied to what he can do.

This is the brutal reality. A man must level up, stay strong, and never expect handouts. Because in the end… Nobody is coming to save you.

US Representative in Shock!

The Tunisian President's Sarcastic Welcome to Trump's Envoy with Images of Hungry Children in Gaza!

Qias Saied the President of Tunisia, while showing images of hungry children in Gaza, said to the US envoy:

These images depict a crime against humanity; is this the international law? Laws that are collapsing more and more every day. Such a concept no longer has any meaning.

Five people were killed in Israel’s air strike on a house in Tal Alhawa in Gaza City. Among them were a pregnant mother. The fetus came out of its mother’s belly.

An Iranian Navy helicopter has intercepted the US destroyer USS Fitzgerald in the Sea of Oman, issuing warning signals and ultimately forcing the American vessel to alter its course southward.

⚡️ Elderly Israeli Woman Arrested for Alleged Plot to Assassinate Netanyahu

An Israeli woman in her 70s has been arrested by Shin Bet and police over an alleged plan to assassinate Netanyahu. Authorities say she discussed acquiring weapons and even considered using explosives. Reportedly terminally ill, she allegedly stated she wanted to "take Bibi with her."

She was later released under restrictive conditions, including a ban on approaching government institutions or Netanyahu.

⚡️A suspected ramming attack occurred today at the Beit Lid junction on Route 57, near the town of Kfar Yona in central Israel, Occupied Palestine. A vehicle plowed into a bus stop, injuring 7 settlers — 2 in moderate condition and 5 with minor injuries. The driver fled the scene on foot, abandoning a white Toyota. Zionist security forces have launched a manhunt, deploying helicopters, canine units, and roadblocks.

⚡️ Sam Rose, UNRWA’s acting director in Gaza, told Channel 4 the reason aid isn’t getting in is simple:

“Nothing gets into Gaza without the say-so of the Israeli authorities. UNRWA has 6,000 trucks of aid ready—enough food for everyone for 3 months—but Israel is not permitting to bring any of those supplies in.”

Even when trucks make it across, UN staff “can only go to the border area with the explicit approval of the Israeli authorities,” who, Rose notes, are currently bombing the very areas where most UN capacity is based—Deir al-Balah in central Gaza.

Footage of targeting enemy soldiers and vehicles in Jabalia City, northern Gaza Strip.

As part of the “David’s Stones” operation series

2025/06/12 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting a Merkava tank with an explosive device on the beachfront, using a booby-trapped vehicle.

2025/07/03 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting a Zionist force fortified in a house using a 107mm rocket.

2025/07/04 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting a Zionist force with a booby-trapped vehicle. The enemy acknowledged the killing of a soldier.

2025/07/16 – Al-Qassam fighters succeeded in targeting and killing a Zionist soldier in the Yassamin 105 area using a sniper.

⚡️ A Former U.S Military Veteran and Security Contractor for U.S.-funded Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF): “In all my military service, I have never seen such use of force against unarmed civilians.”

The 25-year veteran described witnessing brutal crowd control tactics, including the use of stun grenades and pepper spray on desperate civilians. One of the most disturbing incidents he recalled involved a Palestinian woman: “A woman was hit directly in the chest with a stun grenade. She collapsed instantly. I thought she was dead.”

In another case, a man bending down to pick up spilled food was pepper-sprayed: “That’s lethal. That’s not crowd control — that’s cruelty,” he said.

He also confirmed that guards routinely fired live rounds at the ground near civilians to intimidate them after they received aid: “They weren’t a threat. It was cowardly. You can’t fix this… it has to stop.”

Good morning

*What kind of lover are you?*
The Overthinker – “If you take too long to reply, I assume you’ve moved on.”

The Clingy One – “If I like you, I’m texting you every 10 minutes. Sorry not sorry.”

The Possessive Type – “I love hard, but don’t test me. You’re mine, respectfully.”

🥹 The Delulu Romantic – “I planned our future after your ‘wyd’ text.”

The Effort-Test Baddie – “If you don’t impress me in 0.3 seconds, I’m ghosting.”

The Too Loyal Lover – “You can mess up 10 times and I’ll still say ‘it’s okay.’”

The Emotionally Unavailable – “I like you, but I’ll act like I don’t. Heal me or leave.”

🫶 The Acts of Service One – “I won’t say ‘I love you,’ but I’ll do everything to show it.”

The Bare Minimum King/Queen – “I exist. Be grateful.”

Loving a woman.
Loving a woman isn’t about grand gestures or trying to impress her with materialistic things.
It’s about the quiet, consistent, daily effort.
It’s about making her feel seen, safe, and deeply valued.
To love a woman means to respect her not just as a partner, but as a person.
To honor her thoughts, her feelings, her boundaries, and her strength.
It’s understanding that love isn’t control. It’s freedom, trust, and mutual growth.
It means protecting her not just physically, but emotionally.
Creating a space where she can be vulnerable without fear.
Where she never has to question her worth or her place in someone’s life.
Loving her means choosing her every day.
Not just in words, but in actions. Not just when it’s easy, but especially when it’s not.
It means putting her above distractions, temptations, and pride.
There’s no room for lies in real love. No half-truths, no silent treatments, no emotional games.
A woman deserves honesty, she deserves to be loved with clarity, not confusion.
And it’s the little things that truly matter most.
The way she’s spoken to. The way she’s listened to.
The small acts of kindness that remind her she’s special. Because real love doesn’t wait for a vacation to show up.
When a woman is genuinely loved, she thrives.
She becomes softer, stronger, more at peace. And in return, she loves with a depth that transforms everything around her.
She becomes a source of calm, of purpose, of unwavering loyalty.
Because when a woman feels truly loved… she will give back a kind of love that no money, no status, no outside validation could ever replace in this lifetime.
~ Cody Bret

Amaechi’s wife replies, Wike.

“We expect that Minister Nyesom Wike will remain patient for his prayers to be answered on the unpublished NDDC forensic audit report rather than engage and indulge in media trials on a live national telecast.
“We, therefore, challenge Mr. Wike to make public his version of the forensic audit report on the Niger Delta Development Commission, where either Dame Judith Amaechi or the ESI was indicted.
“In the likely event that Wike fails to provide such a report, then we challenge Mr. Wike to actuate his boast and make bold to tender his resignation as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory forthwith with an unreserved apology to the nation.”

Title: "For My Children"

Part 1: The Quiet Village

In the sleepy village of Òkè-Ìgbẹ̀yà, nestled between green hills and wide rivers, lived Mama Anike, a widow in her early 40s with three children — Tayo (14), Kemi (10), and Seyi (6). Her husband had died in a motor accident five years earlier, and since then, life had been hard. She did odd jobs: farming during the day, washing clothes for people at night, and still somehow managed to smile through it all.

She never allowed her children to beg or feel inferior. “As long as I breathe, you will never sleep hungry,” she often told them.

Part 2: Hunger Bites

One harsh dry season, the crops failed. Prices of food tripled, and jobs disappeared like mist in the morning sun. Mama Anike started falling sick, but she hid it from the children. She would say she had “only a small headache,” even though her body burned with fever.

There were nights she gave the children her portion of garri and went to bed hungry, pretending she had already eaten.

Part 3: The Disease

The villagers whispered about a strange sickness spreading — something like typhoid but more deadly. Mama Anike kept working through her fatigue. When she finally collapsed one afternoon in the market, the local herbalist was called. He shook his head after checking her.

“She needs hospital care… blood transfusion… proper medicine,” he said. “Or she won’t last the month.”

Part 4: The Choice

The children cried, begging their mother to go to the city hospital. But there was no money. The little they had was for school fees and food. She sat in silence that night, watching her children sleep, her tears soaking into the wrapper she had wrapped around her frail body.

The next morning, she sold the only valuable thing her late husband had left — his motorcycle. With the money, she paid Tayo’s school fees, bought food that would last for two months, and kept only ₦500 for herself.

Part 5: A Mother's Promise

Her friend, Mama Ronke, scolded her. “Why not use the money for your treatment?”

But Mama Anike replied:

> “If I survive and my children are out of school and starving, what kind of life would that be? But if I don’t survive and they still have hope… then I have lived a worthy life.”

She hugged her children tightly that night. She told them:

> “No matter what happens, be strong. Don't fight. Don't steal. And always look after each other.”

Grammar Tip of the Day
Who vs Whom

What’s the difference?
Who → used as the subject of a sentence (does the action).
Whom → used as the object of a verb or preposition (receives the action).

Examples:
Who called you last night? (subject)
To whom should I address the letter? (object)

Quick Trick:
If you can replace it with he/she, use who.
If you can replace it with him/her, use whom.

Double tap if this clears your doubt!
Tag someone who mixes these up!
