Take Care by Drake is now at 7.9 billion total streams on Spotify. It ranks as the 2nd most-streamed album of 2011.

Drake is so unique that it's hard for people to wrap their heads around his success! They've never seen anyone so astute at what he does musically!
The boy knows his talent and understands what works, and thats instinct is part of his innate gift!
Drake is like an entire room of gifted minds gathered in one man: the poet, the strategist, the hitmaker, the architect, and the artist. You can study the parts, but you can’t recreate the whole.
Drake was born with it.
He’s one of a kind; there’s no duplicate.
And when people can’t understand your success, they can’t replicate it. That’s what they hate.
Listen 👂🏽, this is why they cannot get a clear grasp of what they're witnessing, nor do they know; it's fet!

No pipe-borne water, so we dug boreholes.
No security, so we started gating our streets and paying for private security.
No electricity, so we resorted to generators. Now that generators are unaffordable, we’re adjusting again by moving to solar.
Can we see that we’re part of the problem?
There’s no unity among us to fight for what benefits us collectively.

JUST IN: Port Harcourt-based cleric Mark Miracle has taken delivery of a brand-new SUV reportedly worth ₦200 million — then publicly shared his account number asking people to donate money for fuel. ⛽
He called the vehicle a special gift, congratulated himself and his family, and invited the first five people to sow a “fuel seed” as a point of contact, promising:
“My God that has never failed me will give you a gift you never begged for or lobbied for in Jesus name!”

And when you make that mistake you swore you'd never make, don't run away from God. Run to Him. His Mercy is greater than your worst moment.

Me: “I said I think it's time for you to find a place of your own.”
Friend: “I didn't realize I was making things so difficult for you.”
Me: “It's not just one issue. We agreed to a month, and it's been six.”
Friend: “I'm trying to get back on my feet. I didn't choose for my marriage to fall apart.”
Me: “I understand. But this is still my home, and I need some privacy.”
She looked hurt.
Friend: “I thought you saw me as family.”
Me: “I do. But family doesn't mean you can stay here indefinitely without a move-out date.”
She fell silent, then said something I wasn't expecting.
Friend: “Your wife said you were fine with me staying for as long as I needed.”
I stared at her.
Me: “She said that?”
Friend: “Yes. She told me it wasn't a problem.”
For a moment, I had no response.
When my wife came downstairs, I asked her directly.
Me: “Did you tell her she could stay as long as she wanted?”
Wife: “I was only trying to make her feel welcome.”
Me: “But you made that call for both of us.”
Wife: “I didn't want her stressed about ending up homeless.”
Me: “And you didn't think about how I'd feel sharing our home with another adult indefinitely?”
My wife looked down and said nothing.
Friend: “I don't want this to cause a fight between you two.”
Me: “Then we need to choose a date for you to move out.”
My wife cut in immediately.
Wife: “You're still pushing this?”
Me: “Yes. I'm asking us to make a plan, not putting anyone out on the street.”
Eventually, her friend agreed to start searching for an apartment. Since then, though, my wife has barely said a word to me.
Yesterday, she said I'd humiliated her in front of someone she viewed as family.
I told her the issue wasn't that she helped her friend. Honestly, it was that she promised our spare bedroom to someone indefinitely without ever asking whether I was okay with it.

Jack Nicholson took a $4 million pay cut to play the Joker. It turned out to be one of the most expensive mistakes Warner Bros. ever made.
Back in 1989, Nicholson was already one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. He could reportedly command around $10 million for a movie, so getting him to play the Joker wasn’t going to be cheap.
But Warner Bros. had a problem. The studio was taking a financial gamble on Tim Burton’s Batman, and Nicholson’s asking price was a serious expense.
So Nicholson agreed to take $6 million upfront instead.
Sounds like a win for the studio, right?
Well, there’s a reason you should always read the small print.
In exchange for taking less money upfront, Nicholson negotiated a percentage of the film’s earnings, a share of Joker merchandise profits and a number of other perks. He even secured approval over his Joker makeup and had his shooting schedule arranged around Los Angeles Lakers home games.
And then there was the part that made the deal even more interesting: his reported protection against future Batman sequels.
Batman became a worldwide phenomenon. The film was a huge box-office success, and its merchandise business generated hundreds of millions of dollars in sales.
Nicholson’s deal reportedly earned him somewhere between $60 million and $90 million from the movie.
Think about that. He took a $4 million pay cut and walked away with a payday that most actors couldn’t dream of.
Warner Bros. thought they were negotiating down the price of getting the Joker.
Jack Nicholson was negotiating a share of what the Joker would become.

Gen Zs..... READ AND LEARN
IKPU IS NOT A WORD YOU CALL ANYHOW.
In Igboland, IKPU is approached with maximum respect.
Although IKPU and OTU refer to the same biological organ, they are culturally and traditionally different.
IKPU represents a higher status, a more advanced stage of womanhood that commands profound respect.
Every female is born with OTU.
However, when a woman uses her OTU to reproduce, and the female offspring from that reproduction grows up and reproduces another human being, the original OTU transcends into IKPU.
At that point, the woman has become a grandmother, and her OTU has attained the revered status of IKPU.
Therefore, do not casually refer to your OTU as IKPU when you have not attained the status of a grandmother.
In our traditional understanding, words carry meanings, distinctions and spiritual significance.
We must learn to respect these distinctions.
OUR ANCESTORS DID NOT CREATE WORDS WITHOUT REASONS. LET US RESPECT OUR WORDS.
