“It’s high time the world knew the truth — some of my colleagues are living a fáke life
They prétend too much. In public, they act like angels. Online, they post like they care. But in real life? Hmm... packaging everywhere

Ehh why? Because at first, they used to invite me to come and eat rice o! I no dey force am. But now? Nothing again. Silence. No rice, no stew, not even plantain.

Please help me ask Frederick Leonard and Lizzy Gold — what is my offense? What did I do wrong? Abi I chop the rice too much?”

HOW TO BE POOR AND HOW TO GET RICH — The Choice is Yours
If after 4 years in a higher institution you’re still roaming the streets looking for a job, you need to hear this: you’ve failed—monumentally.
Let’s stop pampering mediocrity. We’re in a country where truth sounds like hate because too many people are emotionally allergic to accountability.
How do we explain that someone who studied Business Administration is now begging a secondary school dropout for job opportunities?
How do we have graduates of Agriculture going hungry, when food is gold?
Here's the bitter truth: poverty is not always a curse from the devil; often, it’s a system we’ve bought into with our mindset, our ego, and our excuses.
Let’s break this down:
1️⃣ Pride: The Graduate Mentality Trap
We want soft life. AC offices. Clean suits. Titles. But reality doesn’t pay you for your degree; it pays you for value.
Artisan jobs are dying. In 10 years, Nigeria may have no more plumbers, welders, painters—everyone is chasing office jobs. Yet, the ones creating generational wealth are those with tools in their hands and solutions in their heads.
Being a graduate shouldn’t stop you from picking up a skill. The world is changing, but are you?
2️⃣ Get-Rich-Quick Syndrome
Everyone wants to hammer, but no one wants to suffer.
There was a lady in my former church who kept disturbing me about venturing into tech because she heard I make good money. What she didn’t see were my 7 years of trials, the 2 years of no clients, the cancelled N2M deals, the sleepless nights, the rejections.
You want what people have, but can you handle what they went through?
Wealth takes time. 5 to 7 years of focused grind—minimum. Stop starting today and expecting harvest tomorrow. That’s not entrepreneurship; that’s fantasy.
3️⃣ Lack of Mentorship
We spend millions to learn how to drive. But who teaches us how to make money, live purposefully, or build wealth?
When Dr. Stephen Akintayo charges for mentorship, people cry scam. Yet they spend the same amount on phones, parties, and clothes. Poverty thrives where knowledge is undervalued.
Mentorship is not free—it demands money or service. But it shortens your journey by years. Find someone ahead of you and serve your way into wisdom.
4️⃣ The “Only Me” Mentality
We compete instead of collaborate. We want to outshine, not uplift. But the wealthiest communities—like the Jews—grow as a unit.
Africa needs to understand: teamwork will take you farther than talent.
5️⃣ Lack of Integrity
Our handshake is not worth a promise. We lie, we cheat, we scam—then pray for breakthrough.
We must return to honesty, accountability, and trust. You can’t build lasting wealth without a name people can vouch for.
6️⃣ The Mentality Problem
Survival Mentality: Just eating and breathing is not the goal of life.
Receiver’s Mentality: Always collecting, never creating.
Hunter’s Mentality: Eat today, die tomorrow. No long-term vision.
7️⃣ The Bandwagon Effect
You start what’s trending, not what’s purposeful. That’s why we have failed forex traders, half-baked tech bros, and abandoned POS kiosks everywhere.
Purpose is personal. You must find your lane, not just follow the noise.
8️⃣ False Priorities
We put all hope in:
God (without work)
Classroom education (without skills)
Government (without responsibility)
Faith without works is dead. Education without action is useless. Government without personal accountability is hopeless.
9️⃣ Mindset is Everything
Until your mind changes, your life can’t. You cannot carry a poor man’s mentality into a rich man’s future. Wealth starts from within.
Environment Shapes Destiny
Your location can limit your vision. Surroundings influence success. You can’t live in a dump and dream of a palace without mental relocation first.
Move. Change your crowd. Redesign your inputs.
Until you break these chains, you will remain exactly where you are: educated, frustrated, and broke.
The choice is yours.
Be poor. Or rise. Your future is not a prophecy; it’s a decision.

Let’s walk this journey together. I share real truths, real strategies, and real steps for growth — no fluff, no gimmicks.

Lies may expire but TRUTH is eternal. This type of nonsense (mask wearing Buhari body double) can only happen in #Africa. Those defending this lie that @MBuhari is still alive, including Facebook and AFP Fact-Check, are worse than slave merchants & colonialists combined. They are responsible for the climate of lawlessness & anarchy bedevilling #Nigeria today.

Tell me how #Nigeria or indeed the rest of black Africa can expect to be regarded as civilised when we allow the prevalence of such a travesty that insult the senses.

If @mbuhari is alive, why is Aisha Buhari the First Lady living in exile in Dubai? Isn’t this enough to alert the populace that all is not well in Aso Rock.

Which other president in the history of Nigeria did the wife abscond to live in another country when that president is still alive? A simple question defenders of this abominable iniquity can never answer. God is watching all of you.

A few of the greatest lessons I have learned in life:

EVERYONE has an opinion.  NONE of them are right.

Being able to listen to all and believe NONE is a skill.  Truth works on its own time.  Otherwise, everyone would know it—which simply isn’t the case.

You have two ears and one mouth, therefore, listen twice as much as you talk.  You will grow wiser, faster.

The foolish young are idealistic know-it-alls whilst the wise elders are simply more practical.

Don't kid yourself.  But don't lose your inner child either.

Imagination is the creation-station relation.

The music you listen to is the soundtrack of your life.

Love is in the little things.

Fear is a projection of what is not KNOWN.

The heart reigns supreme when it is no longer foolish.

One who thinks themselves wise has a long way yet to go.  The road to wisdom has no end in sight.

What was noble yesterday has become nefarious today.  Nobility has a short life which requires continual renewal.

Where one fears to tread, someone has already traveled.  There is an example for every impossibility.

Bravery is earned through courageous choices. 

Freedom is an attitude.

Abuse is “inverted tolerance” of what you put up with in yourself.

Defeat is always optional.

"Why" is what you ask yourself.  "Who, what, when, where and how" is what you ask others.

Time is merely motion.  You don’t live BY it, you MAKE it.

A sharp tongue is equal only to a dull wit.

Unpleasant people are only required until you develop intolerance.

The law of thirds states that 1/3 of people (anything) are good, 1/3 are neutral and 1/3 are evil.  Who can say "I am all three at once!"?

Beauty is only eye deep.

Love is a series of the smallest actions, the tiniest notices and the realest moves.

I have many more hours in a day than most.  To rise early is an investment in your SELF.  It always pays over-time.

Freedom didn’t come until I lost control (the external world).  Then I found the power I was looking for (the internal world).
 
The sum of your human experience is where all elements meet.  The ground and the air.  The shore of water and earth.  The sunlight and your skin.  The mind and your heart.

The heart is the muscle of the mind.

Soul is something you develop over time.  It has no truer or greater expression than what makes YOU - unique to all else.

I do not OWN myself; I AM MY SELF.

To live YOUR purpose is to live ON PURPOSE.....

This is just the truth

Coca-Cola is set to change a key ingredient in its US drinks, thanks to pressure from President Donald Trump.

The US president announced that Coca-Cola has agreed to replace high-fructose corn syrup with real cane sugar in its American products, a move he claims will make the drinks “just better.” Trump thanked Coca-Cola leaders via a Truth Social post, declaring it a “very good move.”

Cane sugar is already standard in Coca-Cola drinks sold in countries like Mexico and the UK. Trump’s Health Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr, has criticised corn syrup’s health risks, pushing for cleaner ingredients as part of his “Make America Healthy Again” campaign.

While Coca-Cola has yet to comment publicly, CEO James Quincey previously confirmed efforts to reduce sugar and reformulate recipes globally.

Would you prefer Coca-Cola made with real cane sugar?

LAW AND ORDER

Boundaries are created by law and order they are synonymous with each other and what the whole earth is founded on from the laws of gravity the oceans and the dry grounds separated from each other the physical expanse of the atmosphere and water environments that contain lifeforms that need specific temperatures to thrive such as the polar bear and even fruits and vegetables will only grow in soil in the right temperature they are even only matured in the season set for them which is guided by time. A baby cannot be produced unless two material mater of egg and sperm meet a foal takes three years to form from inception.

Without fixed laws guarding the success of all these facets of life within time and space it would not produce the desired result needed for each environment. We can not climb 60 thousand feet on foot and survive as that is the natural law that oxygen is not as accessible this far from the earth. If we ate something that is not fit for human consumption but was designed for another purpose such as a solvent that removes paint we would surely die if we did not have oxygen to be viable on this planet the body could not survive but after that the sprit goes back to where it started from to god which is another environment that even has a new set of laws that we have access to the throne room of grace by the blood of Jesus which is a primary law of salvation of acceptance of him and all he has done by making him lord and savior of our life while we are still in the flesh we become born again.

Its activating faith which is completely separate from doubt it has boundaries. Even love is defined by what it is not it is not self seeking its binary opposite is selflessness it does not behave rudely that means love is polite it does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth its like defining black from white. The road rules that create law and order make it functional that keeps pedestrians and drivers of vehicles safe by the law of give way that is written into the consciousness of every citizen by ensuring they have qualified by passing the test that gave them legal permission to drive on the roads. The laws of marriage that one husband shall be faithful to one wife is foundational to trust and make marriages successful. Oil cannot mix with water because the substance will not permit it to make purple you must have red and blue pigment. Even property laws that determine the boundaries of ownership and what is expected of you is written in legal terms those laws are ideas that have created boundaries.

The amount of tax you pay is relevant to what you earn and redistribution of taxes is set by the politics of the lands that determine the allocation of resources which is dependent on who is governing that has that legal authority even the kingdom of heaven had to obey certain laws for legal requirements to win back the right to have access on the earth and human life . Yet all the law and the prophets is fulfilled by love yet love itself has boundaries by defining what love is and what love is not if the formular is exact love never fails. We have so many problems on this earth and if we got down to the root of every violation of boundaries we will find that it is always going against the law of love. This is why we should always spend time meditating on the meaning of all the dimensions of love and to inculcate them into our patterns. It is a way of thinking and living but love has boundaries by its definitions think of how god fashioned the earth he focused on different parts of its creation by separating he made something new that is a principle for life by the laws we apply to every facet of life determines how we shape life.

Just as the ocean does not go onto dry land is like the boundaries we set love does not give access to everything it is defined by the law of difference God gave Adam and eve instruction he said till the land and keep it rebellion to that instruction would create disorder because principles of truth bring order he said do not eat of the fruit they ate in their heart before they ate physically because they were dominated by an outside thing. Our no and our yes must be firm to keep the land of our life that is what creates law and order is boundaries. If the stop sign is determined for the ocean so is our no stopping what must not have access and our yes gives permission by the agreements we make. We are sovereign when we walk in freedom according to boundaries truth has boundaries you do not open the door to a lion because you know it is dangerous this is why truth is foundational for life . Truth is multifaceted by defining what truth is we define what it is not truth and love are synonyms just as law and order are the same as boundaries.

That is why we can point to the stars and differentiate them from the night sky or the day because we can see physically what it is and what it is not. But just as a diamond glistens multiple colors when it catches different lights yet it is one though we see colors of different appearances as it is turned is like the truth it is not just black and white except all the colour of the light are absent of black. Your eyes do not get oxygen from your body but from the atmosphere because the eyes are the part of the body that does not have blood vessels otherwise we couldn’t see it would interfere with the retina that is another biological law that create functionality of an eye . If those laws were not set in place we would not have vision . The deeper we go with everything we research we will find that its functionality comes by law and order so truth has boundaries the law of love is the greatest of all. Love never fails.

Written by Rochelle White

Immediately after my wedding, barely a few weeks in, someone I knew called and said he had sent a monetary gift for me through a close friend of mine. My heart leaped — because at that point, I was swimming in debt from the wedding.

I called my friend. He confirmed receiving the money.

I thanked him and sent my account details immediately.

But he shocked me.

He said,

“I won’t send the money to you.”

I laughed — thinking it was a joke. But he was dead serious.

“I won't send it until you’re ready to collect what I bought with it,” he added.

I was confused.

I called and called. He kept repeating the same thing. His tone got cold, almost dismissive. It hurt me more than I can explain.

I called the person who had sent the money, told him what my friend was doing. He seemed surprised but told me to reach out to my friend again.

I was furious. I decided to cut both of them off.

A few days passed. Then one night, my friend called again. I ignored it.

He called again. And again. My phone rang until it felt like it would vibrate off the table.

I switched it off.

He kept calling for days. Eventually, I blocked him — on calls, on chats, on life. I told myself: He betrayed me. He stole from me.

Six months later, I felt the weight of the silence. I realized how much I missed him — my friend, my brother.

So I went to his house.

They told me he had moved.

Gone.

No one knew where he went. No forwarding address. No explanation.

I was angry all over again.
I concluded he had run away with the money. That he had played me.

Even though I had moved on from the money, the betrayal began to rot inside me again like an old wound reopened.

Three years later.

I was stuck in Lagos traffic, heading to the Island.

I saw someone on the other lane.

Something about the posture, the shape of his head, the way he tilted slightly to the right.

But… he was in a wheelchair.

I told myself,

“It can’t be him. He wasn’t like that before.”

Still, I begged the driver to stop. My heart was pounding as I crossed the road.

I walked closer. He turned.

It was him.

My friend.

In a wheelchair.

Before I could speak, he wheeled toward me and hugged me.

No hesitation. No resentment. Just warmth. And pain.

I stood there, stunned. My mouth dry. My hands weak. I had rehearsed this day in my head, where I’d scream at him, call him a thief, ask if karma crippled him. But I said nothing.

Then he pulled a backpack from behind his chair. Slowly, he brought out a faded blue file.

He handed it to me.

I opened it — and inside were land documents.

And pictures of an uncompleted building.

My eyes scanned the papers.

It was my name written all over the documents.

Not his.

Not his wife’s.

Mine.

“I didn’t want you to waste the money Aunty sent on clearing wedding debts,”

he said quietly.

“So I bought land in your name... so you could become a landlord like me.”

My hands trembled.

My lips quivered.

I dropped to the floor right there on the roadside and began to cry.

He sat quietly in his chair. His face was tired. His eyes sunken.

“You insulted me,” he said calmly. “You insulted my wife too. You called us thieves. But it was her idea. The night we tried to call you… I had just been in an accident. I was lying in the back of a tricycle, bleeding, and told her to call you.”

He paused.

“You didn’t pick.”

I cried harder.

“When my wife died in the hospital… I called again. That’s when I found out you had blocked me. You blocked me everywhere.”

There were no tears in his eyes. Just silence. And truth.

“I never stole from you. I am not your enemy. I was trying to protect your future. But money… money will always reveal how deep the love truly runs.”

He turned and wheeled away.

A cab stopped.

He got in and left.

Just like that.

I’ve never stepped foot in that house he built in my name.

I can’t.

Not until I see him again.

Not until I hold him and say the words I never said.

I’m sorry.

Please… don’t be quick to assume people have ghosted you.

Don’t jump to conclusions.

Sometimes, the silence is a scream for help you ignored.

Sometimes, the person you thought betrayed you was the one holding your future in their hands.
Sometimes, people disappear not to rob you — but because **life hit them harder than they could bear.

Before you block someone forever — ask them why.

You never know the battles they were silently fighting… for you.

The End.

Jimmy Cliff - the Legend.
You can get it if you really want (3ce). But you must try, try and try. Try and try, later you will succeed.
This is an undisputed truth.

Just the truth she caused the headache let her deal with it

erling Haaland : “In my first training session with Pep, I thought I would only learn tactics, but I discovered there was a mandatory subject called ‘Messi Lessons’. In the changing room, while Pep was preparing his plan against Real Madrid, he suddenly interrupted the conversation and said, ‘Do you know why Leo always scores against Courtois? Because he studies his eyes before penalty kicks.’ Then he added seriously, ‘Kick the ball where the goalkeeper can’t see it,’ as he did. After a match we lose, Pep shows us a clip of Messi crying after losing the 2014 World Cup and says, ‘Look, the legend himself cries when he loses, so why are you smiling after a defeat?’ One day in training, Pep made us play without touching the ball more than once, and when I protested, he shouted, ‘Messi used to score goals like this, and you couldn’t pass it.’ One day, Pep grabbed me and said, ‘Erling, the difference between you and Leo is that he loved football before he loved goals. When will you learn this?’ Pep doesn’t want us to play like Messi, but to love football like him. Reprimands, every training session, every lecture is an attempt to instill the spirit of that Argentine player in us. The truth is, Messi has not left Manchester. His spirit follows us in every training session.

*Do not indulge in emotions you can not afford.* Always make plans for emotional recovery. Look at where you feel wounded ,then set out to heal those areas.

*Every hurt has its own story* and so does every healing. You can heal yourself when you have filled the *holes left behind by a betrayal*, and you can heal the other person when you sincerely drop the need for revenge.

*When you are ungrateful,* you do not actually see the world as it is. When you begin to cultivate gratitude, you *shall begin to affirm the real truth* about life.

The Lord said, *every kind­ness must be acknow­ledged,* made known, returned, and remembered. *Ingratitude is treas­on to mankind.*
