Mark of the Covenant ⚖️

@OdohUmeh @Oscar22JR 😂

@Oscar22JR You stoop to conquer.

Many people in the comments are asking what i did to her to get served. Here is a summary of the majors: She facilitated the first work i got through her friend. Then i am yet to set up my own bank account, so they (the company) send my pay to her account. Whenever the money drops, she doesn't hand it over. She takes out some for foods, rents and utilities ( we do 50-50). The remaining she might use some to buy me expensive wears or the cat food. Who told this woman i need an expensive wear? I didn't come here for all that. I got responsibilities back home and i can't continue like this. I worked like 6 months and in that period, i have no single savings. I have not sent 1 Kobo back home. When i complain she said my mind is still in Africa, therefore i don't love her enough and my plan is to make money here and send back to Africa. So i did what an African man should do - I rebelled. I talked to a colleague at work (fellow African) and he walked me through the ropes on how to get a bank account and have it updated in my work file. Trouble started when she didn't receive the money as usual. After the fight that ensued, we decided on how much i will be dropping every week (it's a weekly pay). I now have control of my finances. I started saving and sending small tokens back home. Within months i started doing small small investment back home. She learnt that i have restarted my building project (was abandoned at foundation level before i left Nigeria), all hell broke loose. I explained to her that i am the first born child and deeply rooted to my African ties. Just because i am married to a Dutch and living in a dutch land doesn't mean i should forget home, cos that was her argument. To her, i should forget about Africa. "Africa is poor", she would say. Africa has nothing to give to you. You are here now. You should focus on us . Whatever you are investing or planning to invest should be here and not Africa. For a fact that you are still thinking Africa means you plan to return to Africa some day. It's not like i came on asylum. My parents are still much alive. My younger siblings are there. I spent all my life with these people, now you want me to turn my back on my people just so to prove i am not going any where? You want me to choose between you and my people? Again, the calls. If there's one thing she can't stand, it is any call that came from home. She doesn't want none of that. She doesn't want nobody to call you. They just want money. They don't care about you. They want you to be working and sending the money to Africa. Who is that lady that called you? Why is she calling you? Is she your Nigerian wife? I don't trust you anymore. You said she is your sister but her surname is different. I saw you sent money to so so and so person. Who is that and why are you sending him money? Aaaah! It was one week one trouble. For peace to reign, i stopped taking calls anytime I'm home. The only time i can call home is during break time at work, or on my train ride back home. During one of our many arguments, she hinted she will ask for a divorce and have my papers revoked, so Little by little, the power dynamics in the house began to shift. I don't wanna go back to Nigeria empty. Where will i start from? What will people say? That after 3 years in Europe the only thing he achieved was raising his house to lintel level. No way! So i gave in. I allowed her turn me to her little obedient puppy 🥹. On weekends that I rather want to sleep and rest, i will go with her to her parties just so i be in the good books. Not like a give a fuck about cats but i must bath and feed her cat cos it makes her happy. During the Winter, the weather in Spain is much better. This particular winter, she planned for us to go her house in Spain for vacation. That will mean me stopping work (she has always wanted me to stop working and depend on her entirely), so I said no. From there, it was downhill.

@106_36_52 @3ashun Idan 🔥. W mindset

No exam is above me, local or international, I only need adequate preparation and recall time.

If you don't actively steer your life, comfort and normalcy will make the decisions for you. Mediocrity has a gravity that everyone succumbs to unless they are actively fighting against it day after day.

Sometimes when I feel hunger I pretend like it's fat leaving the body. Hunger is an inevitable part of getting lean. Learn to deal with it.

Nigerian parents will send their kids to uni to learn and then act surprised when the kid comes back educated and enlightened😂

you really gotta run a strict program or your life gon be a circus

What is the technical name for hashtag '#'.

@a_babeee__ Congratulations Stephanie

You people didn't lie about this building in public thing o😭 Someone just referred me for a role that isn't even in my job description. Asin, he read the requirements for the role, realized I could do it and put me on call with the client. I got the gig just like that.

I told myself I must finish this book before this week ends. Took me almost a month to finish this book of 32 small pages, but PROGRESS IS PROGRESS regardless. 1 down, 11 to go!! Now I can prepare for my EOP properly

@DrJakpa Final yr med student

@Marksimum Cardiothoracic surgery—nice 🔥 Possible in Germany 🇩🇪, but more competitive and longer path. Most people go through general surgery first, then subspecialize. Still doable with strong German + persistence. What stage are you at?

🧵🧵Nigerian doctors and German doctors go through similar stages Medical student Junior doctor Senior doctor Consultant Same ladder. Same years of sacrifice. the two systems are not even in the same conversation Full comparison. Level by level. 🧵

I want to see what people are aiming for - and I'll tell you what I know about training availability and recognition for that field.

Just pause and take a look at your life bro. 😔 Now look at the set of people who left this country in 2020/2023 and look at yourself again bro. 💔😔 One thing is certain, you can’t outwork a failed country.

One of my biggest fears is having to settle for a mediocre life just because I was born in Nigeria. I can’t let that happen

you hit a point where you realize normal lock-in won’t make you extraordinary. it takes an insane level of focus to actually see real growth… and that kind of lock-in isn’t cheap dawg.

@prolactin_ @OIuwatosin 😅

@OIuwatosin Shouldn’t you be more visible with extra 30kg ?

My friend lost about 30kg and is crashing out because he just realized how superficial people really are. Folks are suddenly nicer to him, and he's become more visible at work.

I am a firm believer in the divine orchestration of events. I believe in Him that is able to do more than I ask or think of and is committed to keeping me up until the very end. Until then, I will do my best in learning, applying pressure and doing the best I can. So help me God

become obsessed with the fact that your potential is endless and your ability to grow is infinite. you can be anything and everything you want.
