THE MOST RANDOM QUOTES EVER YOU’LL MEET ON THIS PLATFORM TODAY Based on demand from my ideas and experiences on friendship and life in general, school and beyond. You don’t have to agree with all; it’s all subjective. But you may choose to learn. Who knows? I’ve come to understand that greatness is a lonely road. In fact, if everyone is your “friend”, check closely, you’re doing something wrong.  There comes a time when you’ll be so alone. In that moment, you shall find your greatest strength.  “Do not trust a man! It almost broke your father and it took him two decades to rise again. Do not trust a man!” Never help those who do not wish to be helped. You’re not helping. You’re embarrassing yourself.  There comes a time when your friends and enemies will blur into a single line until you can’t tell them apart. This is your moment to be most careful. Tread with tiptoes. If you find someone that loves you first, hold them close. Never let go. If you can’t love the person equally well, then please let go. Immediately! If not, you’re trapping that person in a prison and you’ll never be forgiven.  Once is an event. Twice a mistake. Three times a coincidence. The fourth time is enough to make you understand this person is not a friend and cannot work with you. On the fourth, you cut it off and don’t look back. If you give the fifth chance, you’ve dug your own grave.  Keep the friend/s you’ve identified close and your enemies far away from you (as against the popular quote). Their energy can disrupt the entirety of your work.  Joy will stray far away from you. You’d have to find it and I will tell you where it lies - in the future you envision.  A friend is someone you can play with and work with equally well. If a person leans towards the work scale too much, that’s a partner. If a person leans towards the play scale too much, that’s an acquaintance. Put everyone in their place.  Ndi Igbo will say “Ọ onye maara mmadu ga-egbu ya.” Guard your heart from all feelings. It is those who you love the most that know your Achilles heel. If you’re born to lead, get your armor ready. Yes, the one that guards against the hate of many that are bound to despise you.  I’ve tested several laws of friendship and found the Murphy’s Law is the safest. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. You have two options. If you want to be carefree, dive into any relationship ignorantly, like a child on a water slide. If you want to be safe, approach every relationship with the pessimist mindset and wait till you’re proven wrong. Both are risks. But while the first option will get you killed, the second will simply let you walk out saying: “I told you so.” With or without you, everyone will still win. If the gathering was of fools, without you, they’ll win even more! You cannot buy love and attention by showing love and affection. You can’t. You can’t. YOU CAN’T. There are two types of people that will most likely die from a toxic relationship: overthinkers and those with low self esteem. These types of people always convince themselves that they are the problem and so they stay and stay and like the ashes of a shriveled leaf, they are blown by the wind; like dust, they fade.  “A friend in need is a friend indeed” the most misunderstood quote in friendship history. What do you think it means? Many believe it means the first person you run to when in need is your true friend. But it’s actually to be interpreted as the person who plays that role of a friend when you have nothing is who you call your friend. It’s not about you. It’s about them.  I’d probably share many more some other time. For now, let me finish my graduation series.  — PerfectWriter, BGS Faculty of Arts, UNILORIN 2026 5/7

“My Biggest Wins in My University Life” 🏆Nothing more exciting than when I became the Faculty of Arts President for a week in the reign of my boss @Mdrasaq after winning the Faculty of Arts Essay Writing Contest 2023. I was just a 100 level guy, so lost... I just spent the week collecting accolades. Chai 😅 🏆Then I was honored to win the Student Union Essay Writing Contest (Poetry Category) with my piece, “A Pinch of Chaos.” As a 100 level student already winning such at University level, this meant everything to me. 🏆I also loved when I won a position in the UNILORIN TIM Healthcare Writing Contest. It gave me the opportunity to meet very beautiful, soul-filled people; my type! People like my Presido @g_kehfadHalal and @deiz_a_lateefah 🏆All my practicals from drama, to dance and music, I have either directed, choreographed, composed or been in a position to. We never fell short of an A. I’ll never forget PFA 102 and how I cried so hard when the A was awarded by Professor Adeoye as soon the play began. That practical, for the 100-level boy with a terrified, beating heart, just taking his chances at his creativity and praying, would remain the best ever. 🏆There was the time of winning the Best Supporting Actor after the 499 season of 2025. This award defined me in ways beyond what I can explain. 🏆The premiere of my first independently made feature film “OYIGIYIGI” is so great a moment; I’d probably have to write a book for that one. Beautiful moment. 🏆To have successfully staged the only Western Drama in PFA 499 for 2026 is an honor. You should see me teaching my cast members Latin😅 🏆Honored to be SU Filmmaker and Director of the Year 2026 🏆Honored to be the Face of PASA 2026 🏆Scholar of the Year 2026 🏆Writer of the Year 2026 at Department levels 🏆Current Theatre Students Awards (TSA) nominee for Best Writer 🏆Honored as Departmental Fresher of the Year 2023 🏆Honored as Faculty Writer of the Year 2023 And of all, happy to celebrate the fact that I never went broke throughout my four years in the university. There’s a secret formula for that, but just as its name implies, it stays secret😅 4/7
