DATING 101!!! Read & Adapt!!! Another reminder to always make thoughtful and intentional decisions when choosing someone to commit to!!! There are certain things in life you have absolutely no control over, like You do not choose the family you are born into... You do not choose the country you are raised in… You do not choose your genetics, natural abilities or starting point in life… You do not choose the economic decisions politicians make… You do not choose the kind of manager you have at work… You cannot always predict the immigration policies that may affect your future… But one of the few major life decisions you have some control over is the person you choose to build a life with and eventually marry!!! The world is already a difficult place. Life will test you in ways you cannot always prepare for. There will be financial pressures, career disappointments, unexpected changes, business failures, immigration uncertainties and seasons when everything seems confusing. In those moments, your home and family should be one of the places where you find strength, comfort, understanding and peace, not another source of constant struggle!!! Do not make a lifelong commitment based solely on superficial attractions. Money and physical beauty are important, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with appreciating them. However, neither can independently sustain a healthy marriage. No matter how wealthy he is or how exceptionally beautiful she may be, if there is no genuine desire, emotional connection and willingness to build a life together, that union will eventually become difficult to sustain. You may initially become fascinated by the lifestyle, the comfort, the money or the feel of the well-shaped bumbum or breasts. But hedonistic adaptation explains why people eventually get used to what once excited them. The excitement becomes familiar, the lifestyle becomes normal, and the things that once impressed you may no longer carry the same weight. And that see/finish stage is when the deeper qualities of a relationship or marriage begin to matter. You need someone you genuinely want, someone whose presence you appreciate beyond what they can provide or how they look, someone big on making life better and easier for you both. Someone you are willing to understand, consider, respect and grow with. Do not expect a marriage to thrive simply because you or the person you have chosen has money, beauty or social status. A successful union requires two people who are genuinely interested in doing life together. Choose someone you can navigate life’s challenges with, someone that is fine being bored and can stay sane while going through shege. Someone you can have difficult conversations with, make sacrifices with, disagree with respectfully and still work towards a common goal. Choose genuine desire… Choose consideration… Choose emotional maturity… Choose shared values & goals… Choose family values… Choose someone who understands that marriage is not just about enjoying the good seasons but also about standing together when life becomes difficult… A healthy marriage is not dependent on a perfect economy, wealth or a comfortable environment. Two reasonable, intentional and committed adults can build a beautiful home in almost any part of the world, provided they are both willing to do the work. Marry a reasonable human being you can live in any part of the world with and still rest assured your union would thrive healthily and would be unshaken. Ultimately, the person you marry will influence the quality of many of your life’s experiences. Do not take that decision lightly. This is one of the foundations of a healthy, fulfilling and long-lasting union. As always, I am rooting for you!!!

There was this guy i know back 2009, who has 2 solid computer institution in lagos, with a functional cyber Cafe. He was dating a lady who lives in Canada and they had big plans, already he's a big boy, having two café in the heart of lagos is big deal for a young man in his early 30s. He was business inclined. Fast forward to the Canadian yoruba lady's arrival to Nigeria for their wedding, he canceled the wedding, he said she has nose rings, leg chains and he feels she looks like a prostitute, but the lady owns a salon in Canada, which I understood why. I tried to talk him to look at the brighter side of the relationship but he wouldn't listen. They were both of the same religion and beliefs which made it all easy for him. So, he told me he has a lady in Nigeria and he would marry her instead. The nigeria lady was a complete liability. He was comfortable to bare all the marriage cost, he close down one of his business, i was shocked, he wasn't listening, he sold his car, ahh!! You've not even marry her and your life is crumbling already, by the time they got married, he was left with one business with no car, now struggling, he transfered the business to a friend and eventually close that down. He later started reaching out for support, I helped him coupled of times but later stopped. This lady was comfortable to even follow him to beg for money, God forbid a witch as a wife. Everytime I remember his story, I'm always lost for words, like, what do men wants? Since 2010 till date, things has gone terribly awfully bad for him......... Sometimes, you need to see the signs so you don't see wonders. Recovering might never happen.

A new colleague joined us last month and told us that her birthday was the following week. She heard that we contribute ₦100k for anyone celebrating a birthday, and the company adds another ₦50k for the celebrant. She told everyone in the office, and we started contributing money. Three days before her birthday, HR informed our boss that she had lied. According to her documents, her birthday had already passed. Our boss didn't tell us anything. On her birthday, she was called to collect her gift in a brown envelope. When she opened it, she found a sack letter. Her supposed monthly salary was ₦350k.
