Life has a peculiar way of surprising us. One moment, everything seems to go as planned, while the next moment, an unexpected change hits us from the left field. It is understandable to feel disappointed or frustrated when faced with difficult situations that life throws at us.

However, by understanding a few inevitable complex rules of life, we can develop resilience and adaptive capacities, not get by and thrive beautifully.

Hard work, good virtue, discipline, or being in the right do not automatically ensure fair rewards. We were told that hard work begets success. But you can work as hard as you want and still struggle like someone who never did. The complexity of earth creation is beyond human intelligence.

Life’s circumstances and events can be beyond individual control, regardless of merit. A major health crisis, painful divorce, painful death, all kinds of setbacks, natural disasters, or freak accidents and so forth can unfairly destroy years of labor in a minute.

It is important that we understand that life is unpredictable and unjustifiable. That is why people question certain things that happen to them as undeserving. This world is intentionally created to evade the intelligence of man,no matter how we tried regarding its complexities. It is deep seated in mystery.

Your current bad situation doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad person, even though you don't deserve what you are going through. You are only dealing with the way the world is intentionally wired beyond human understanding. The thing is, situation happens when it is time to happen. Your goodness or badness can not stop it. The only break we enjoy is the mercy of God when it pleases Him.

The difference between your inputs and outcomes highlights life’s fundamental injustice. The world is intentionally created in this fashion to limit our knowledge about certain divine secrets so we have room to think and believe someone who is somewhere is in charge of this earth and what happens to us.

Everyone is going through monumental difficulties. Bar none. Whether deserving or not. The only solution is to fight your problems with an open mind.

The world is tough. This time is tougher. Fight back with toughness. Life is quite a journey

It good to remain always fashionable even under the wears!!!

“Because of my success in business, many men were intimidated. Before marriage, I have dated men that were intimidated by my success.

Any small thing they will say is because of what I think I have, and this is what happens to most successful women.

The way I started fashion, I never imagined I would be a fashion designer because my mom was a tailor and each time she's working, we usually go by to help, not until I discovered it was more of a talent.
I have always thought I would go to school, become educated, and become a career woman. Today, I'm an owner of a very big fashion brand.

I never regret dropping out from school to pursue my dream. If I didn't, I'm not sure I would have been where I am today. If you have the opportunity to study, do it. The best decision for me might not be the best decision for you.

If you're a successful woman, there's a way people will always be looking at you. If you don't get married early, they will say it's because you have too much influence or too much money, so men can't come after you. But don't limit yourself. Any man that can't be with you is not man enough.”

May we never marry weapon fashioned against us

*A Cry for Our Children: A Wake-Up Call to Parents and a Return to Godly Parenting*

With a heavy heart, I watched a video making rounds - the SS3 students, young minds who just concluded their WAEC exams, engaging in shameful and immoral displays in the name of celebration. What should have been a moment of reflection has been turned into a festival of indecency and mockery of values.

This is not the generation our forefathers prayed for.

We are raising a generation that seems to have lost its way—where vulgarity is called expression, and shame is dismissed as old-fashioned. These are not just "children having fun." These are warning signs of a decaying moral foundation.

To every parent out there: do not assume your child knows better. Do not assume they are safe just because you provide, clothe, and send them to school. School can never ever do everything. The school can never be successful if a family foundation and culture are not already there. Cultivate moral principles at ages 1 and 12, then the school will build from there. Be close to your children. Talk to them. Know their friends. Know their struggles. Monitor their online habits. Most importantly—pray for them, and pray with them.

The truth is painful: many parents are present in the home but absent in the lives of their children.

We must return to the way of our grandparents—a way built on discipline, respect, fear of God, and community accountability. They didn’t need the internet to teach values. They taught it at dawn prayers, at family meals, with the rod of correction wrapped in deep love and concern.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child." This is not just a saying—it’s a divine imperative as well as principle. A generation not corrected will surely correct itself in the street, behind bars, or on a viral video for the world to scorn.

Dear parent, wake up. You are not just raising a child. You are shaping a future husband, a future wife, a future leader. Don’t leave that to chance. The enemy is not sleeping—why should you?

We must return to God. We must return to prayer. We must return to values, a return to character moulding. It takes time, it needs time. It is cumbersome, it is not an easy job as many modern day parents think. It is painstaking. May God have mercy on this generation. May He open our eyes before it is too late.

*Let this video not just make us shake our heads. Let it shake us back to responsibility.*
