Two months ago, I had an accident that could have killed me and other people, under certain conditions. I was researching a new topic. So, I spent the whole night reading. Knowledge often feels like drugs to me. Once I'm learning something new and interesting, my whole body will be hyper and charged. Till morning, I didn't feel exhausted. So, I drove out to quickly run an errand. I had a blackout. It was like someone switched my button off. I opened my eyes and met myself almost entering the gutter on the opposite side. In my half-aware state, I panicked and swerved back to my own side of the road. I tried balancing the steering but I couldn't. My car jumped the gutter and hit a kiosk that was by the road. I came down from the car, called my mechanic and paid some men to help me remove the car and I went home to sleep. It was around 7am on a Saturday. If I had my children in the car or if I was living in a busy area, the story would probably have been different. If someone was in the kiosk, the story could have been different. I learnt an important lesson. No matter how much I have to read, I prioritize sleep now. If I'm unable to get six hours of sleep in the night, I don't drive myself the next day. The life we're hustling for can just be gone in an instant 🫰🏾 if we're not careful. To someone like me out there, learn when to slow down. I had to replace my bumper, radiator, fan and repair the bonnet, before repainting the car. It cost me a lot of money. But it could have cost me my life...and that of my loved ones.

Started using this toothpaste recently, and it feels like I just started brushing my teeth well

“Have small madness in marriage” “Your wife must fear you small” “Your husband must know you’re crazy to try certain thing with you”. Everyone now taking calculated moves into marriage that have not even started. Ẹwo nkan ti ẹ sọ marriage da tori olohun 😔

Bro, walahi, you can get to N3 billion and still go broke. I am not joking. And it is not necessarily you.

I drove past them as early as 6 a.m. today while going to the gym. They were sitting at one of the Aboki-owned SME stores inside the estate, acting like regular people. By the time I returned, I discovered that the duplex next to my house had been raided by the EFCC. They acted so swiftly that they moved the suspect within five minutes and sealed off the house with their red paint. This reminds me of an experience during my NYSC days. I had travelled to Lagos for the weekend and was returning to Ilorin, where my PPA was located. Along the way, I encountered a joint task force comprising the EFCC and an anti-crime squad conducting stop-and-search operations on the outskirts of Ibadan. At the sight of the security operatives, I noticed that a young boy seated to me, who was a student at the University of Ilorin, had become visibly uncomfortable. I asked him what was wrong, and immediately, I told him to hand over his phones and laptops to me. When the operatives stopped us and saw me in my NYSC uniform, they allowed us to pass. Afterwards, I advised the young man to leave online fraud and give his education his full attention. He offered to transfer ₦50,000 to me as a token of appreciation, but I declined. I told him I had not helped him because of money; I did it because I believed everyone deserved a second chance. Three years later, he called me. By then, he was already in Lagos, got an offer from one of the big four, now, working with Deloitte on the Island. He asked if I could help him find accommodation since I was also based in Lagos. I invited him to stay with me in Surulere and gave him a room in my three-bedroom apartment. He lived with me for four years without paying a single naira. During that period, I advised him to stay away from unnecessary spending, to also stay away from hungry girls who aren't in same career of financial level as his. I reminded him that his job could be taken away from him at any time, so he needed to save enough money and work towards relocating abroad, which should be part of his future plans. I provided him with the necessary materials and information for his relocation. I also helped him find a university in the United States that offered fully funded programmes. Eventually, he secured admission to the University of Missouri and Arkansas State University after taking GRE, with 100% funding and a monthly stipend of $2,000. He is now in the United States. After completing his master's degree, he immediately secured a salaried position at Amazon. This time, he shared his full salary details and offer letter with me. I am happy that I was able to do one thing: help a young man who was already heading down the wrong path abandon online fraud and focus on building his career. Today, he has made something meaningful of his life. Let's learn to give people whom society has pushed towards the worst versions of themselves a second chance. Sometimes, all they need is one person who believes in them, offers them guidance, and gives them an opportunity to change their story.

I was rushing to catch a BA flight out of Abuja to Heathrow, the Chinese guy in front of me was asked to submit his luggage for check by NDLEA, he brought out money and offered the NDLEA officer, the officer refused and insisted on checking the luggage. I was proud, I swear.
