*REASONS WHY YOU'RE ALWAYS BROKE EVEN THOUGH YOU WORK HARD*


(Hard work alone no be enough. You need sense, strategy, and discipline to win.)

You wake up early every morning, hustle till your body complain, but at the end of the month, your bank balance still looks like an empty pocket thief struck. You ask yourself, “Why are rich like those guys?”

I get news for you:your habits and mindset does not sabotage your grind. Village people are not your problem, your own lifestyle is.

1. YOU WORK HARD, BUT YOU DON’T WORK SMART
You hustle physically, you run errands, you do odd jobs, but you never think about how to multiply that hustle. You run like rat with no cheese.

Meanwhile, other guys are using their brains to invest small small, learn skills, start side hustles, build passive income.

Working hard is good. But working smart is the key to escape a poverty trap.

What to do: Learn skills that pay well. Invest in knowledge, not just sweat.

2. YOUR MONEY HAS NO PLAN, NO TRACKING
When salary enter, you just spend anyhowly—no budget, no savings, no investment.

This is why every month, you are broke before payday.

What to do: Budget your money like a CEO. Know where every coin will go.

3. YOU CARRY TOO MANY PEOPLE ON YOUR BACK
Your salary is not just for you — it’s for mama, uncle, cousin, friend, street people... you are playing Minister of Finance for everybody.

But no one does the same for you.

Reality: You can’t build wealth carrying 10 people. You must build yourself first.

What to do: Help when you fit, but put your future first.

4. YOU’RE ADDICTED TO SPENDING, NOT INVESTING
You spend on luxury, new gadgets, slay queen maintenance, designer labels… but when time to invest come, you suddenly “have no money again.”

This lifestyle is a silent killer. You build others’ businesses, not yours.

What to do: Switch your mindset from consume to invest. Use money to grow assets.

5. YOU LIVE PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK WITH NO EMERGENCY FUND
Every little emergency crashes your finances—no backup, no plan B.

So when things go wrong, you borrow, borrow, borrow until you fall into debt trap.

What to do: Save at least 3 months salary as emergency fund. Build cushion.

6. YOU FAIL TO MULTIPLY YOUR INCOME SOURCES
Relying on one salary? That’s like sitting on one leg and expecting to run marathon.

True wealth comes from multiple income streams—business, investments, side hustles.

What to do: Start small side hustles. Learn to create money streams outside salary.

7. YOU WAIT FOR MIRACLE WHILE DOING NOTHING
You pray and wait for miracle money. But no action follows.

Prayers without hustle andl procrastination with spiritual flavour.

What to do: Pray with your legs and hands. Action is the partner of blessing.

FINAL TRUTH:

Hard work is important, but without planning, discipline, and smart decisions, you will remain broke.

Village people are not then cause of your poverty; your habits and choices are.

If you want to escape the poverty cycle:

Hustle smart, not just hard.

Budget and track your money.

Cut unnecessary spending.

Build emergency funds.

Multiply your income sources.

Stop carrying unnecessary financial burdens.

Pair prayer with action.

If this post hit you hard, don’t just scroll. Change your mindset, change your life.

"The 12 Secrets the Rich Don’t Want You to Know"

We live in a world designed by the rich, for the rich. Everything from the media you consume to the advice you’re given is carefully curated to keep you trapped in the rat race while they soar higher. It’s time to pull back the curtain and uncover the truths the wealthy don’t want you to know. Brace yourself, because what you’re about to learn may shatter every illusion you’ve been sold.

The first secret is that hard work alone won’t make you rich. Yes, they encourage you to hustle and grind, but they know the truth: the path to wealth lies in leverage, not labor. While you’re breaking your back working overtime, they’re using other people’s time, money, and skills to build empires.

Second, they want you to believe money is evil. The more you associate wealth with greed and corruption, the less likely you are to pursue it unapologetically. Meanwhile, they know that money is simply a tool—a powerful one that can amplify your impact if used wisely.

Third, savings won’t make you rich. They push the “save and invest in a mutual fund” narrative, but they don’t follow it themselves. They invest in high-risk, high-reward opportunities: startups, real estate, stocks, and businesses that multiply their wealth exponentially.

Fourth, the school system is a trap. They fund educational systems that teach you to be obedient employees, not critical thinkers or risk-takers. You’re taught to work for money, while they learn to make money work for them.

Fifth, tax laws are written for the wealthy. They know the loopholes, the incentives, and the strategies to legally avoid taxes, while you’re stuck paying a significant chunk of your income. Wealthy people own assets, not salaries, and assets are taxed differently.

Sixth, debt is a weapon—but only if you know how to wield it. They want you to fear debt, but the rich use it as a tool to acquire more wealth. They leverage other people’s money (OPM) to buy assets that generate cash flow and pay off the debt themselves.

Seventh, your consumerism funds their lifestyle. Every time you buy a new gadget, trendy clothes, or overpriced coffee, you’re putting money directly into their pockets. Meanwhile, they’re investing in assets that appreciate over time.

Eighth, connections matter more than talent. They don’t want you to know that access to the right people will open more doors than any degree or skillset. They build exclusive networks that perpetuate their wealth and keep outsiders at bay.

Ninth, time is their most valuable asset. They don’t waste it on distractions or meaningless tasks. They hire people to do what they can’t or won’t do, freeing up their time to focus on wealth-building strategies.

Tenth, the stock market is rigged in their favor. While you’re hoping your portfolio grows steadily, they have insider information, access to high-frequency trading, and the capital to manipulate markets to their advantage.

Eleventh, failure is their greatest teacher. They embrace setbacks as learning experiences and take calculated risks without fear. You’ve been taught to play it safe, but the rich know that big rewards require bold moves.

Finally, they thrive on your ignorance. The less you know about money, investing, and business, the more they can exploit your labor, time, and consumer habits to enrich themselves.

So what’s the takeaway, men? Stop playing the game they’ve rigged against you. Educate yourself about money, learn to think like an investor, and prioritize ownership over consumption. Break free from the chains of mediocrity, and start building your own empire. It’s time to outsmart the system and claim the wealth and power they don’t want you to have.

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.”

7 THINGS THAT CAN MAKE YOU BROKE FASTER THAN VILLAGE PEOPLE

Forget jazz, forget enemies from the village—some of you are going broke at lightning speed, and it’s not because of witchcraft. Your own lifestyle is the real problem!

If you're always wondering "Who is eating my money?"—relax, Oga. The answer is you.

BRUTAL THREAD:

1. CHASING EVERY WOMAN YOU SEE

You think you're James Bond, moving from one fine girl to another, sponsoring their hair, nails, and data? Brother, you are your own Yahoo boy.

One babe says “I need urgent 2K”—you send.

Another one says “My rent is due”—you pay.

Next thing, your account balance is calling for GoFundMe.

Meanwhile, the same girls are in group chats laughing at you: “This guy dey try sha.”

Solution: Stop being an ATM with no PIN code. Focus on one woman or yourself first.

2. LIVING LIKE A BIG BOY WHEN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE IS SHOUTING HELP

Your salary is 50K, but you're in clubs ordering Hennessy like Davido. You don’t even have a car, but you're buying drinks for strangers—WHO SENT YOU?

Rich men are saving, you are spraying money.

Dangote is investing, you are doing “Odogwu” at the bar.

Elon Musk is buying companies, you are buying bottles for slay queens who don’t know your surname.

When the landlord comes for rent, you’ll start saying “Boss, abeg, things hard.”

Solution: Cut down on fake luxury. Even Jeff Bezos wears simple T-shirts. Be wise.

3. SENDING MONEY TO FAMILY LIKE CBN

Your uncle calls: “We need money for burial.”
Your aunt calls: “No food in the house.”
Your younger brother: “School fees.”

Now your account is empty, but when you need help? Nobody picks your call.

Oga, you are not the Minister of Finance. Even government doesn’t share free money like you do!

Solution: Learn to say NO sometimes! Help when you can, but don’t let family turn you into their personal budget.

4. ALWAYS BUYING THE LATEST PHONE TO IMPRESS WHO?

Last month, you were using iPhone 12.
This month, you saw iPhone 15 Pro Max and sold your kidney to buy it.
Next month, iPhone 16 Ultra Mega Max will drop—what will you sell next? Your destiny?

Meanwhile, the person you’re trying to impress is using Tecno Pop 5 and doesn’t care.

Solution: If your current phone is working, rest. Your future is more important than “Dynamic Island.”

5. FALLING FOR EVERY FAKE INVESTMENT SCHEME

They told you "Invest 50K, get 500K in 2 days."

You ran like Bolt, deposited your money.

Now, they’ve blocked you, and you’re writing epistles on Facebook: “Dear Nigerians, beware of fraudsters!”

Oga, they didn’t scam you, you scammed yourself!

Any investment that sounds like magic money is a Ponzi scheme in disguise.

Solution: If you don’t understand the business, don’t put your money there. Learn to invest wisely!

6. GOING BROKE JUST TO IMPRESS SOCIAL MEDIA

Your house rent is due, but you're buying designer shoes to take pictures for Instagram. Who told you “likes and comments” can pay rent?

You posted “Soft life only.”

But in real life, you’re trekking and borrowing money for food.

If your phone falls, you’ll cry because you can’t afford to fix it.

Solution: Stop forming fake rich life. Invest first, flex later.

7. BEING TOO LAZY TO MAKE MORE MONEY

You sit at home, scrolling Facebook from morning till night, complaining: “No job, Nigeria is hard.”

Meanwhile, opportunities are passing you by! Are you expecting an angel to drop money from the sky?

People are making money online—you are watching TikTok videos all day.

People are learning skills—you are arguing about football.

People are opening businesses—you are waiting for your rich uncle to die so you can inherit land.

Solution: Get up and hustle! Even the Bible says “A lazy man shall not eat.”

BOTTOM LINE:

If you're always broke, stop blaming village people. Your habits are the real witchcraft!

Live within your means.

Invest before you flex.

Stop impressing people who don’t care.

Make smart financial decisions.

If this post hit you hard, don’t cry. Just change your ways!

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: SATURDAY 31ST MAY 2025

THEME: *HELL IS REAL!*

MEMORIZE
Psalms 9:17
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

READ
[Matthew 5:22,29,30]
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*There is nothing on earth that is worth going to hell for.*

MESSAGE
There is nothing on earth that is worth going to hell for.

Wealth, fame, popularity, success and all the accolades of this transient life is nothing to compare with the eternal glory that awaits us in the celestial city for all who would truly follow the Lord Jesus Christ in truth and in spirit.

The people of this world are blind and can not see what lies ahead in eternity, hence their pursuit of the things of this fleeting life.

In a bid to acquire the wealth of this life, they would rather trade away their eternal souls for perishing and vanishing earthly glories.

If there is anything you want to be sure you have, it is your soul. The Lord Jesus Christ said; it takes patience to possess one's soul in this life because of the fight involved in keeping one's soul intact.

The numerous bizarre and bewitching distractions of this world, the pressure to belong to a class of happening circles, the rat race of picking bills, and meeting needs, marital obligations etc; all tug the souls of men and cause them to stagger, reeling back and forth as men fight their ways through life.

However, in the midst of these pressures, God's Word is our most authentic and reliable guide.

Individuals who would keep God's word handy, reading always with hearts lighted by the Holy Spirit, will never miss their ways in this darkening world.

The entrance of God's Word will always give light and understanding to the simple.

On the other hand, there are people who use religion as a covering to do wicked things. They are in the church and other worship places but are working for Satan directly or indirectly by their lifestyles. They're involved in all manners of evil practices; covetousness, immorality, greed, avarice, etc. These have identified themselves as agents of Satan by their works. To these ones, hell-fire is prepared.

Beloved, hell is full of many powerful people who thought following the ways of God was ****** and archaic, only for them to be repenting severally when their repentance was useless. Do not allow anything to make you go to hell fire.

It is a real place of torment for all who reject the ways of God.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
2. Be determined to guard against anything that can possibly take you to hell.
3. Pray that your heart be purified from every wrong intentions and motives.

REMEMBER
*There is nothing on earth that is worth going to hell for.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to accept the responsibility of staying away from everything that defiles and pollutes, I receive grace to live acceptably and pure in your eyes, always in Jesus' name. Amen.

BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS PRETENDS TO BE A POOR WAITRESS TO FIND TRUE LOVE
EPISODE. 1

Emily Johnson at 26 years old had everything anyone could dream of. She was the only daughter of Mr. James and Mrs. Mary Johnson, one of the wealthiest families in the country. Her father owned a large empire of companies while her mother was a renowned philanthropist. Emily had grown up in luxury, surrounded by expensive cars, grand mansions, and all the finest things money could buy.

However, despite all the riches, Emily felt something was missing. People around Emily always seemed more interested in her family’s fortune than in her as a person. She had friends, but over time she realized they cared more about her lifestyle than who she really was. The men she dated were the same—interested in her wealth and status, but never her heart.

Emily longed to be loved for who she truly was, not for her family’s wealth. One evening, after a particularly shallow conversation with a man her father had introduced her to, Emily knew something had to change. This man, like so many others, was more interested in impressing her with his wealth than learning anything about her.

She wanted more. She wanted a life where she could be herself and find love not based on her family’s name, but on who she truly was. Emily decided that she needed to leave her life of privilege behind, at least for a little while. She wanted to experience the world outside her bubble, to live simply and discover if she could find love in a place where no one knew her background.

Before she made any drastic decisions, Emily sat down with her parents to discuss her plan. They were sitting in the large dining room of their mansion.

“I’ve been thinking about something for a while,” Emily began, her heart racing. “I want to leave the city for a while. I need time to find myself away from everything here.”

Her mother, Mrs. Mary, immediately frowned. “Leave? Emily, you’re a young woman. The world outside is harsh, especially for a girl like you. You don’t need to go anywhere. We can find you a good husband here, someone who will love and care for you.”

Emily sighed, knowing her mother wouldn’t understand. “But that’s the problem, Mom. All the men I meet are only interested in what I have, not in me. I want to live a simple life for a while, away from all this. I want to find someone who loves me for who I am.”

Mrs. Mary shook her head. “It’s not safe out there for a girl like you. What if something happens? How will you survive without the comfort and protection of this home? You don’t need to struggle when everything you need is right here.”

Emily looked at her father, hoping for support. Mr. James, a stern but thoughtful man, had been listening quietly.

“I won’t be gone forever,” Emily said, turning to her father. “I just need some time to figure things out. If I don’t find what I’m looking for, if I can’t find love on my own, I’ll come back. I’ll agree to marry the man you want me to marry.”

Her father raised an eyebrow. “You mean the tech billionaire David, who you have adamantly refused to meet?”

“Yes,” Emily nodded. “I’ll meet him eventually, but first I need to do this. I need to know if I can live a life where people see me for me, not for our name.”

Mr. James leaned back in his chair, considering his daughter’s words. He loved Emily dearly, and as much as he wanted her to marry someone powerful like David, he understood her need for independence. He had seen her frustration over the years, trying to find someone who valued her for more than her wealth.

Mrs. Mary, however, was not convinced. “James, tell her this is a bad idea. She’s a girl. She can’t just wander off on her own. The world isn’t kind to women, especially one who’s never known hardship. It’s dangerous.”

But Mr. James gave Emily a small nod of approval. “If this is what you need to do, Emily, then I’ll support you. I don’t want you to regret not trying to find your own path.” He turned to his wife. “She’s strong, Mary. We have to trust her.”

Mrs. Mary sighed, still uneasy. “Fine. But promise me you’ll be careful, Emily.”

“I will, Mom,” Emily said with a smile. “I won’t be gone long. I just need time away from all the trouble here.”

And with that, Emily’s plan was set. She packed a small suitcase with only simple clothes, leaving behind her expensive dresses, jewelry, and the life of luxury she had always known.

The next day, with her father’s reluctant blessing and her mother’s worried gaze, Emily left the city. She boarded a bus to a faraway place, hoping to start fresh.

The city she chose was Makalani, a small but bustling town known for its vibrant markets and hardworking people. It was a place where no one would recognize her as the wealthy heiress from the capital. Here, Emily could blend in and live a simple life, just like anyone else.

When Emily arrived in Makalani, she found a small one-room apartment to rent. It was nothing like the mansion she had grown up in, but it was enough for her. The apartment had only a bed, a table, and a window that looked out onto the busy streets below. There were no luxuries, no servants to cater to her every need. But for the first time in her life, Emily felt free.

Now that she was settled, Emily knew she needed to find a job. She couldn’t live off her family’s wealth if she truly wanted to experience life as an ordinary person. After walking around the streets of Makalani for a few days, she came across a small restaurant called Mama Kay’s Kitchen.

The diner had a cozy, inviting atmosphere with the smell of home-cooked meals filling the air. It was always busy with people coming and going, and something about the simplicity of the place drew Emily in. With her heart racing, Emily walked inside and asked Mama Kay, the owner, if she had any job openings.

Mama Kay was a kind woman in her mid-50s with a round face and a warm smile. She looked Emily over, noticing her neat but modest clothes, and asked a few questions.

Satisfied with Emily’s answers, Mama Kay decided to give her a chance. “We can use another waitress around here,” Mama Kay said, “but it’s tough work. You’ll be on your feet all day serving tables, cleaning up, and dealing with all kinds of customers. Do you think you can handle it?”

Emily smiled, determined to prove herself. “Yes, I can handle it. I’ll do my best.”

And so Emily began her new life as a waitress at Mama Kay’s Kitchen. The work was much harder than she had ever imagined. She spent long hours on her feet, carrying trays of food, cleaning tables, and taking orders. Her back ached and her hands became rough from the constant cleaning.

But despite the exhaustion, Emily found a sense of purpose in this simple life. For the first time, she was living a life that wasn’t handed to her on a silver platter.

The customers at Mama Kay’s Kitchen were regular people—workers, families, and students who came in for affordable meals. They treated Emily just like any other waitress, and that’s exactly what she wanted. She was no longer the rich heiress from a powerful family. She was just Emily, the new waitress at the diner.

As Emily wiped down a table one evening, she looked out at the busy streets of Makalani and smiled to herself. She had left behind the world of wealth and privilege, but in doing so, she had found something more valuable: freedom.

She wondered what the future held. Would she find the love she had been searching for? Or would she eventually return to her old life, marrying the man her father wanted?

For now, she was content to wait and see. This was her time to find out who she truly was.

And her journey had only just begun.

Diet: Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce symptoms and improve overall health.
Stress management: Techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing can help manage stress.

Conclusion

Understanding Fibroids: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options

Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma’s, are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. These growths can vary in size, shape, and location, and are common in women of reproductive age. While many women with fibroids may not experience symptoms, others may face heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and infertility issues.

Causes and Risk Factors

The exact cause of fibroids is unknown, but research suggests that hormonal influences, genetics, and environmental factors may contribute to their development. Women between the ages of 30 and 50 are more likely to develop fibroids, and those with a family history are at higher risk.

Symptoms

Fibroids can cause a range of symptoms, including:

- Heavy menstrual bleeding or prolonged menstrual periods
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Constipation
- Infertility or miscarriage

Diagnosis

Diagnosing fibroids typically involves a combination of physical examination, imaging tests, and medical history. A pelvic exam can help identify abnormalities in the uterus, while imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI can confirm the presence of fibroids.

Treatment Options

Treatment for fibroids depends on the severity of symptoms, the size and location of the growths, and the woman's reproductive goals. Options include:

- Watchful waiting: Monitoring symptoms and fibroid growth over time
- Medications: Hormonal therapies to shrink fibroids or manage symptoms
- Surgery: Myomectomy (removing fibroids) or hysterectomy (removing the uterus)
- Minimally invasive procedures: Laparoscopic or robotic-assisted surgery

Lifestyle Changes

While fibroids can't be prevented, lifestyle changes can help alleviate symptoms. These include:

- Maintaining a healthy weight
- Exercising regularly
- Eating a balanced diet
- Managing stress
