One day I'll be stupid rich.

I spent 4 years paying my younger sister’s school fees. Every single kobo. The day she graduated, she gave the acknowledgement speech and thanked everyone except me. I sat in that hall and felt my soul leave my body 😭. When she got admission, things were tight at home. I had just started my first job. I told our parents, "Don't worry. I’ll handle it." And I did. Every semester. No breaks. There were months I was eating 0-1-0 so her account wouldn't run dry. I never told her. I didn't think I needed to. Graduation day, she looked beautiful. The first graduate in our family. I was prouder of her than I’ve ever been of myself. Then she got the mic. > She thanked God. (Fair). > She thanked our parents. (Expected). > She thanked her friends who kept her sane. > She even thanked her HOD. Then she sat down. My mother looked at me. I smiled and looked away, but the clapping felt like it was happening in a different room. I didn’t say anything that day. Or the week after. But something in how I moved changed. I stopped volunteering. Started waiting to be asked. Started noticing who actually noticed me. People say, "Don’t give to be recognized." I agree to an extent. But there is a thin line between not needing applause and being erased by the person you bled for. That's not humility. That's invisibility. We’re fine now. I brought it up six months later, calmly. She cried, and said she was nervous and blanked. Maybe. Maybe not 🤷 But I learned something either way. Sacrifice without communication creates invisible resentment. Tell people what you are carrying for them. Not to guilt trip them. But because silence makes martyrs, and martyrs make bitter people. This same dynamic shows up in dating every day. You’re playing the provider or the supporter in silence, while your partner thinks you're just an oil money that never runs dry. Stop accepting the bare minimum of gratitude. If they don't see the sacrifice, they won't value the person making it. Has someone ever made you feel invisible in a relationship after everything you did for them? Let’s talk below.👇

Take your card number and starting from the second-to-last digit, double every second digit moving left. If doubling a digit produces a number greater than nine, subtract nine from the result. Then add all the digits together, the doubled ones and the untouched ones. If the total is divisible by ten, the number is valid. If it isn’t, the number is mathematically impossible as a card number and the form rejects it on the spot. This is the Luhn algorithm written in 1954 by a computer scientist at IBM named Hans Peter Luhn. It still runs inside every payment form on the internet today. And it turns out that valid card numbers are not random. They follow this mathematical rule, and any number that breaks it is immediately disqualified without ever touching a bank’s systems. No server contacted. No database checked. No network request made. The validation happens entirely on your device, in milliseconds. The first six digits do additional work before the Luhn check even runs. They are called the Issuer Identification Number; the first digit identifies the card network (4 means Visa, 5 means Mastercard, 3 means Amex), and the following digits identify the specific bank that issued the card. This is why payment forms show you the Visa or Mastercard logo the moment you type the first digit. No server needed. The network is encoded in the number itself. The last digit of every card number is called the check digit it exists for no other purpose than to make the entire number pass the Luhn algorithm. When a bank generates a new card number, it calculates what the last digit must be to make the sequence valid, then stamps it on the card. It is a built-in mathematical fingerprint.

From Day 1 of marriage , one of my close friends started sending 250,000 every month to his parents. No excuses. No delays. Parents lived in a small town. Simple life. No demands. 8 years passed.24 million sent. My friend always thought, “At least they are comfortable.” In 2024, his father passed away suddenly. While arranging documents, his mother handed him a bank passbook. Balance: 29.5 million. Every everything he sent… was saved. Plus earned interest. Inside the passbook, there was a small folded note. “For your children’s future. – Papa” My friend thought he was supporting them. They were silently building his safety net. Moral:Parents never stop being parents.

There's something we do in this part of the world that I greatly detest. When someone does something terrible to another person, we start begging the one who was wronged to forgive, instead of allowing law to take its course. I can understand when the act is a mistake. But when someone deliberately assaults, malign or attacks another person, there shouldn't be any form of begging. I'm still angry at the fact that the guy, who was falsely accused of rape, yielded to accepting the apology of the false accusers due to pressure from "elders" In 2021, I was robbed by two guys on a bike in front of Fresh FM, Ibadan. Unknown to me, they were three and they had dropped the third person a few meters away to act as their lookout. As soon as they got my phone and my recording lights, they sped off. One of Yinka Ayefele's security men, Ọ̀bẹ́kẹ́, caught a glimpse of it. While I drove and pursued the people who robbed me, they had apprehended the third guy who was on foot. We took him to Felele Police station and my properties were recovered. They then asked if I was interested in charging him to court. I answered in the affirmative. Some people started begging me and telling me "Since God has brought your property back to you, you should just let it go and leave him to God" but I didn't yield. I made sure that he was charged to court and I went till he was sentenced. If you set out to harm people, you must be ready to face the consequences.

The best thing happened to me this morning, and I thought to share it with you all. I opened my WhatsApp to see that my assistant had sent me my task list, and at the bottom, she added a link. The message that accompanied the link was “For when your brain won’t shut up.” I was curious at this point, so I clicked the link and it led me to a Spotify playlist with some of the most relaxing songs ever. And it’s genuinely the nicest thing an employee has ever done for me. The first thing she did when I hired her newly, was add 20 minutes breaks between my meetings, so I’d always have the time to catch my breath. Now, I believe that being thoughtful is one of the most defining skills of a good assistant, and I don’t see myself settling for anything less ever. I hope she doesn’t get surprised when I start inventing new bonuses and sending gifts to her doorstep. My week is off to a really great start. How about you?

really love it when you restrategise on something and you start getting results almost immediately and you be like, why didn't i do this all these years?

I believe you should always re-read your favorite books at different stages of your life. The plot never changes but your perspective does.

Inheritance is a bad retirement plan for parents in Nigeria. Your children are 28–35, hustling in Lagos or Abuja, paying crazy rent, school fees, wedding bills, and begging for startup money every month, while you’re sitting on millions planning to “leave it for them when you die”? By the time they’re 60 and finally inherit it, what will they even use it for? Hospital bills and burial contributions? Give them the money when they’re young and can turn 50 million into 500 million. Let them buy land in their 30's, not in their 70's. My dad said: “I won’t put money in the grave with me. I’ll put it in your hands while I’m alive to enjoy the results with you.” This should be every parent's mindset.

I was already past 30 when I started my first job in cybersecurity. I was nursing a 2years old toddler alone in a foreign country, on the day of the first interview of my first job, my son was down with flu and couldn’t make it to daycare. I sat to do the interview and put him on a lower chair so he is not visible to the interviewer. He called mama and stood and the interviewer saw him. Bless his heart! It was an additional reason he pushed my profile to get the job. The interviewer was raised by a single mum! He shared that and told me it was okay to have my kid with me because he saw how I panicked 🥹 My testimony can only fit in a book. If I begin to type, hand go pain me 😂

My Mom is late, so when I had my 2nd child, my mother inlaw came from Naija to help me care for her. There was a day we were going out and because I noticed she was discussing something very important with hubby, Out of courtesy, I moved to join the kids at the back seat and ask her to go sit with hubby in front so they can continue their conversation. My mother inlaw said this to me, "Go back to the front seat. That's your place, always beside your husband. I can discuss whatever I want to discuss with him from the back. I came here to help with the kids, so I will sit at the 3rd row seat with them at the back. My own space too is beside my man, and yours will always be beside your hubby. So go back to the front seat🥺😍😍 It was then I knew I was blessed with an awesome mother inlaw who knew his Sons heart is large enough to love her and me at the same time without choosing one above the other. A mother's love will always be a mother's love. Don't put your man in a position to choose between you and his Mom. Because his heart is large enough to love you both without having to choose. I always pray for my man's parents. Because I have peace today because they raised him right. I have the best mother inlaw. Throughout when she was around, people used to think she is my biological Mom, because of how good she treated me🥰God bless her for me🙏🙏🥰
