I don’t feel anything after this Arsenal loss Lmaoo

2023, I missed my convocation. I missed my induction. I don’t have a single group picture with my lecturers or the people I graduated with. I couldn’t go for NYSC I didn't celebrate anything I couldn't afford it. I’ve never really “done life” the way people assume. I didn’t go on my first date until this year never been to the beach, never been to the cinema, never really had fun. Everyone looks at me when I say these things. Before that, a lady once offered to take me out because I told her I had never experienced it. She didn’t mind paying I even said I don't have money to come down to the island, she said she will order an uber. I felt uncomfortable, worried, even scared. I chickened out and said no I felt like a useless man, I couldn't afford shit. Not because I didn’t want to go, but because something about it just reminded me of where I was financially. Then this February, I finally went on my first date. I paid for everything. Spent money I normally wouldn’t. So when people say “men should stop faking maturity and celebrate themselves,” it sounds nice, but it’s not the full picture. A lot of guys are not avoiding joy. We just don’t have the leverage for it. Most men in Nigeria are broke. That’s the reality. Not lazy, not unwilling, just financially constrained. We miss moments, not because we don’t care, but because we can’t afford to show up for them. This might be the 1st year I’ll actually celebrate my birthday the way I want, and I’m doing it properly. I’ll go out, hit the beach, enjoy myself this time. Not because I suddenly became a different person, but because I finally can. I also celebrated Valentine's Day for the first time. Documenting everything is fun when you have money to pay for it. A lot of us want to celebrate with friends and family. We want those memories. We want to show up fully. But poverty quietly takes those moments away and replaces them with survival. That’s why I’ve always tried to position myself to help people break out of it. Because poverty is deeper than money. It steals experiences, confidence, and even the ability to enjoy life. God bless the women, that came into my life 😭😭 I can finally say afford to do things.

the one we’re currently in !

chase infiniti, i wasn't familiar!

You’re looking down on yourself ke? There’s someone out there that thinks you’re the coolest person they’ve ever crossed paths with.

@vinicius_snrr Idk man, life? Maybe not outright celebrate and make it a whole thing but you lived another year man. Ik sometimes life is hard, but people died in that hard life, you still have an opportunity to make things better or for better things to happen.

Reducing what goes on in a boy’s head on his birthday to fake maturity is an evidence to how insensitive the other gender can be to a boy, many times even in relationships. For boys, a lot of expectations are attached to age While birthday is a call for studio photoshoot for some for many boys, new age is a reminder of the apartment of their own that they should have had It’s a reminder that they are getting too old to be where they’re financially, academically and relationship wise etc On a normal day a boy could just sit and start thinking of how to move forward in life, that thinking is more intense on a birthday So if they don’t send a picture of themselves as broadcast to all contacts on WhatsApp group for a repost, it’s not a flex They are grateful for life, but when they have something truly worth celebrating they won’t hold back It’s not fake maturity, we are usually on a date with reality and reality is not friendly.

Thank you Lord this comes on the day Jesus died for our sins, all the bad luck connected with the manager of the month has gone with the crucification of Jesus Christ. Congratulations Mikel Arteta!

How the older generation looks at you when you choose to live your life to the fullest instead of suffering like them.

Nobody is ever getting this comfortable with me as my subordinate please, before we begin talk plenty. I know I am uptight, no wam, better rude than sorry…

“You’re absolutely right. I meant left”

Arsenal's remaining 7 EPL games means a lot to me than anything. I need that premier league trophy like mad. My entire mood for the rest of the year depends on that trophy.

Viktor Gyokeres will lift the Premier League next month

Me thinking of different reasons why this person is calling before answering the call

@CFC_dennoh The memes might not be fake😂😂

Disgusting from Mbappe. Bro was coming on for the last 10 minutes and he demanded Cherki to take the Captains Armband from Kante to give it to him 😭😭. I don't know what you think but this is disrespectful
