Two days ago we celebrated mother's day, come to think of it who is a mother? A mother is someone who nurtures, cares for, and provides love and support to a child. This can be biological, adoptive, or even in a chosen family dynamic. A mother isn’t just defined by giving birth but by the role she plays in a child's life—offering guidance, protection, and unconditional love. Characteristics of a mother A mother is often characterized by a mix of emotional, psychological, and practical qualities. While every mother is unique, some common characteristics include: 1. Unconditional Love – A mother’s love is deep, unwavering, and not based on conditions. She cares for her children regardless of their flaws. 2. Nurturing Nature – She provides emotional and physical support, ensuring her children feel safe, loved, and cared for. 3. Patience – Raising children requires immense patience, from teaching life lessons to handling tantrums. 4. Selflessness – A mother often puts her child’s needs before her own, sacrificing time, sleep, and personal desires for their well-being. 5. Strength and Resilience – She remains strong through challenges, whether emotional, financial, or personal, to support her family. 6. Guidance and Wisdom – A mother imparts life lessons, values, and knowledge, helping her children navigate life’s ups and downs. 7. Protectiveness – She instinctively protects her child from harm, whether emotional or physical. 8. Compassion and Empathy – Understanding her child’s feelings and struggles, she provides comfort and reassurance. 9. Dedication and Hard Work – Whether she’s a stay-at-home mom, a working mother, or balancing both, she is committed to providing a better life for her child. 10. Forgiveness – Even when children make mistakes, a mother forgives and continues to support them. While these characteristics are common, motherhood looks different for everyone. Some mothers may express love through actions rather than words, while others may be more emotional. What do you think defines a mother best? Let's have your opinion on this

Money follows traffic. If you are still the type who takes sides when two popular people have beef, you are not wise. AY and Basketmouth have settled and are back. Guess what? The only enemies created in their disagreement are those who took sides. If you quarrel with another because of the clubs you support, you are very unwise. If you go into debates with your fellow Christians because the different churches you attend, you are very unwise. If you not a party member and a direct beneficiary of a political party, and you go into altercations with other because of political parties, you are very unwise. If at this level of your life, with all the available resources to you, you are still doing Wizkid FC & Davido FC, you are very unwise. The elites always create fracas to divide the masses. They always know how to settle because to them all that matters is business interest. Don't just follow the buzz. Be the buzz! P.S I'm happy to see AY & Basketmouth do this. I wish them a heavily successful show.

SIX (6) WAYS MEN CAN ESCAPE POVERTY ∆. Get the right woman - Forget the slay queens and women with looks but zero brains. Get a woman who will not only support your vision but will also push you to achieve more. A woman who will inspire you to work hard and not a woman who just makes you hard. He who finds a real woman finds a good thing and obtains favour and power to create wealth. ∆. Stop Taking Cheap Drinks - I have no problem with having drinks during social interaction and networking. However, when you drink cheap drinks or drink in cheap places, you hang out with cheap people who have cheap ideas and a cheap future. Big business opportunities are found in places where the drinks are expensive. In fact, in places where they sell cheap drinks, the only people you will find there are people who will be asking you for money. They even clap when you come knowing 'big buyer' has come. ∆. Stop being Lazy - "Man ooh Man, why art thou Lazy?" You are too lazy for your own good. You sleep the whole day and blame the government for your poverty. "A Little Sleep, a Little Slumber, poverty shall overtake you like a political cadre in overalls". A lot of men are just lazy when it comes to making money. They have enough energy to give a woman five orgasms, but have no energy to start one organization, that's why it is so easy for men to manufacture children than it is to make even pegs for putting children's clothes on the line.. ∆. Know Productive Things - If you keep too much junk in your head, you get a junk life. I know a lot of men who are so sharp when you are talking about girls, about soccer and about street politics, Who is Rich who is not,Who has a good house but you can't bring a topic about investment, innovation and business, they start looking at their phone, yawning or saying bye.. Useless things, videos and memes go viral fast than constructive things.. A man must know how to do at least one productive thing (have one skill) even without having gone to college. ∆. Get Connected to Big Men Who are better than you - A lot of men are failing because they are not mentored. They don't have anyone to whom they can sit down and listen, with obedience. In the old days, old men would sit young men down and show them how to hunt and kill animals... and no man was considered a man enough until he has personally killed an animal... now these men of nowadays are not mentored and can't even kill a bird. There are men out there who have made it in life, find a way to get mentored by big men who are making waves and impacting people in our community. ∆. Work - Stop Spending your whole day just praying and fasting yet you know that both Quran and Bible tells you that God will bless the work of your hands. Yes yes The blessing finds you on your way doing something,Stop using Prayer as an excuse not to work. Work hard. It’s an error for your pockets to be empty and your brain to be empty too.

NBA star Anthony Edwards made a historic move by paying $1,080,000 in child support all at once, covering 18 years worth of payments. 😲 That’s $5,000 a month—but he decided to settle it all up front. The message is clear: “Don’t ask me for a thing for the next 18 years!”

I love him for his personality, so calm, gentle, caring, full of wisdom, support, and also knows how to handle me in bed. For me, i am forever in this with him, am giving him back the love 100% no matter what people say. - Natasha Osawaru

WHETHER YOU ARE MARRIED OR NOT, READ THIS AND LEARN. "Dad, can you loan me Five Hundred Thousand Naira?" Kola asked his father. "What for son?", his father asked. "For my wedding. By our calculations, we're falling short meeting the cost". Kola had come to meet his parents with his fiancé. "Your wedding? How much is the total cost of the wedding?", his father asked. "N3.6 million. We're thinking of starting the committee next week. We can together give about eight hundred thousand and expect our friends to help us raise about two million. I remember you told me if ever I need help I can come to you" Kola answered. His father held him by the shoulder and said "Go get your wife and come meet me at my study room". "Yes dad", Kola obliged. Minutes later, Kola and his fiancé,Tomilayo walked into his father's study room. "Having a good time my daughter?" Kola's father asked. "Yes I am. You and your wife are so hospitable. I pray that Kola and I can emulate your marriage. You are an admirable couple" answered Kola's fiance. "Thank you. I am delighted to have you as my daughter. This is your home, you're welcome anytime", said father. They sat down. "Thank you dad" "So, I hear you want to spend N3.6 million for your wedding and you need me to help with five hundred thousand?", asked father. "Yes, we will greatly appreciate" said the fiancé. "The wedding will be at the Total Garden Ibadan in about six months time", said Kola. "Why do you want to have a big wedding?", father asked. "Well, it's our big day. She's always dreamt of a big wedding", Kola replied. "Have you dreamt of a big wedding or a strong marriage?", The father asked the fiancé. "When you put it that way, it's more of a strong marriage" said the fiancé. "Good. You've answered wisely. So who do you expect to come for your wedding?", asked the father. "Friends and relatives. About seven hundred people", answered Kola. "How many true friends do you really have?", I mean friends who have been tried and tested to be there for you through thick and thin?, asked the father. Kola and Tomilayo looked at each other. "Countable", the fiancé answered. "So who are these other people who will come to your wedding?", asked the father. Silence. "OK. Let's go to the relatives. I know you love your relatives, but how many are really close to you? You barely talk with the many relatives you have", said the father. "What are you trying to say dad?" asked Kola. "My son, my daughter; why do you want to spend N3.6 million on a wedding, a one day event yet you need the money in your marriage? Look, you are actually coming to ask me for money, you will form a committee to ask people for money; all to show off and please people who will not even matter in your marriage" Silence. The father continued, "Let me share with you my experience. When I married your mother, we spent about a million for the wedding. That was a lot of money then. We fed people, got stressed by service providers, just so that we put up a wedding that will win the applause of a crowd. But as soon as we got married, the crowd disappeared. All the issues that your mother and I went through, no one cared, even family couldn't do much. Every one is busy living their life. When things got tough, the crowd gossiped about us, some even seemed happy that our marriage was in trouble" Silence. "I have seen this script repeated over and over. Brides get stressed on their wedding day, they can't even enjoy, couples being angry at friends who don't support them financially, the worst part is starting marriage in debt or struggling financially. Do you know a wedding doesn't have to cost so much, it doesn't have to be stressful, it doesn't have to be full of people who perhaps will never talk to you again?" added the father. "But dad, what will people think if we do a small wedding or we don't invite them?"asked the fiancé. "Are you getting married for people? If you have a small wedding with only the witnesses who matter, will you two not be married? What is all this competition of who has a grand wedding for? People are competing on Facebook, in weddings; why this need to show off? You know that money you are about to blow in one day, you can use it to invest in your marriage, you can start the process of buying or building a home, you can save up for the needs of the children you will have because you need money to raise a family. Why not start your marriage financially healthy and not in debt? Marriage is what is more important than a wedding", continued the father. "Dad, if you don't want to support us it's okay", said Kola. The fiancé stopped him saying, "No my love, dad has a point. I actually find the idea of a small wedding not just wise and economical, but also intimate. Marriage is just you and me, not people". The father spoke, "My son, in all the years you have been a man, you have never come to me asking for money, but now you are asking for money to put up a show? I look further, I look at your marriage. I admire how people come together in a wedding committee to raise money and I wonder, what if couples and people use that same energy to put up a business that will uplift families. Those members who will be part of your wedding committee, imagine if they become your investors, imagine if you build a company where you can make profit and feed your homes. Something sustainable." Kola and his fiancé nodded. "My son, I have longed for the day you would come and ask me to invest in your business idea. But today I will make the first move", the father said taking his cheque book from his drawer. He wrote on the cheque then gave it to the fiancé. "Here my son, this is a cheque of five million naira, not for your wedding but as start up capital for a business of your choice. I am giving the cheque to your wife because as the Proverbs 31 woman said, she is to walk with you in building an empire for your family. Focus on your family, give your family the best; forget about the public and opinions of people who don't matter. Build a future for your family. Build your family on a foundation of surplus not debt". "Thank you so much" said the fiancé. Kola stood up with tears in his eyes. His father stood up too. The father and son hugged. "Thank you dad for being a great figure and your counsel. I don't know what to say. You have challenged me not to merely get married but to have a vision, a vision for my family. I don't know what to say" he spoke. The father held his shoulder, "You will make a great husband and father. I wish I had the same counsel when I was getting married, all those people I fed on my wedding day didn't add value to my marriage. In fact, if I was to organize an event and feed multitudes, I would do so for the less fortunate and those in need. Marriage is not for show.

A man can be the only provider in the house and still be a family oriented man. He will hustle and still make out time for family, and still value his home. Being a career woman is never an excuse to neglect your home, or to be less accessible by loved ones . Success shouldn't pave the core values of life. Unless you don't desire marriage or having a family, which is fine; otherwise, learn to balance your desire for success with being lovable.

An eagle was flying high—confident, self-assured, and in control. But out of nowhere, an arrow struck him in the chest and brought him down. As he fell, he looked at the shaft of the arrow and noticed something unsettling—it was feathered with his own plumes. The hunter had used feathers from an eagle to kill an eagle. And just before he hit the ground, the eagle said, “It is not the arrow that pains me, but the fact that it was winged with my own feathers.” This simple fable carries a powerful truth: we are often hurt most deeply by the things or people closest to us—by those we trust, support, or invest in. Being attacked by a stranger can sting, but betrayal from someone you once believed in cuts differently. The real pain isn’t just the wound—it’s knowing that your own contribution, time, or loyalty made that wound possible. You handed over the feathers. This shows up all the time in real life. Steve Jobs was forced out of Apple—the very company he helped build. The same systems and people he developed eventually turned against him. Julius Caesar was assassinated by men he considered allies—people he had elevated and trusted, including Brutus. His final words, “Et tu, Brute?” captured the devastation of betrayal by someone within his inner circle. And in our own lives, we may not face political assassinations or corporate oustings, but the pattern is familiar: a friend you helped grow suddenly competes with you; a person you mentored turns on you; someone you protected uses your openness against you. The message here is not to stop trusting, giving, or supporting others—but to become more discerning. Not everyone who praises you has your best interests at heart. Not every connection deserves deep access. We often confuse loyalty with access and admiration with trust. But as Tupac once said, “Sometimes the person you’d take a bullet for is the one behind the gun.” And as the saying goes, “Be careful who you trust. Salt and sugar look the same.” This fable is a quiet reminder that while generosity is noble, it must be paired with wisdom. Pay attention to the patterns, the energy, and the consistency of people. Be mindful of what you give and to whom. Because sometimes, the most painful arrows are the ones feathered with your own wings. Namaste🙏🙏 Trophy Kiprono9
