Most times, when you’re in a position of being the "benefactor", like a boss at work, you naturally become more sensitive to things like this. It comes with the position I guess.
But don’t read too much into it.
It’s not always the best measure of whether people are truly appreciative or ungrateful.

I need the money, I'll be honest about that. But the thing is i hold my passion in the same place I hold where I see money. In fact, my passion and my life are on equal standing.
So yes, I need this job. The job pays me.
But more importantly, the job gets my passion.
And since my passion is basically my life...
well, you can say I’ll be putting my life on the line for this company.

@slimvnsn We are all that phase now yea? Where we now understand our father
English

My father never came to a single thing I invited him to.
Not my primary school graduation. Not my secondary school prize giving where I collected 3 awards and kept looking at the gate. Not my university matriculation. Not the ceremony when I got called to bar in 2012. I'd send him the date weeks in advance and he'd say I'll try and that was always the full sentence. I'll try. No follow up. No explanation after.
My mother would sit in his place and clap loud enough for 2 people.
I stopped inviting him after the bar call. Not from anger. Some people love you completely and still cannot show up and after a while you stop making them feel guilty about it.
He was not a bad man. I want to be clear about that.
He was a mechanic in Mushin for 35 years. Worked 6 days a week. Sent every one of us to school. Never raised his hand. Never left. The lights stayed on and the rent was paid and there was always food and he did all of it quietly without asking to be celebrated.
He just could not sit in a plastic chair and watch something.
I accepted that and moved on.
Last year I bought my first property. A flat in Ojodu. Took 9 years of saving and 2 years of paperwork and a lawyer who nearly finished me. When the keys finally came I sat in the empty flat on the floor for an hour just breathing.
I called my mother first. She screamed. My sister cried.
I didn't call my father.
3 days later he called me.
Said he heard about the flat from my mother. Said he wanted to come and see it.
I didn't know what to do with that so I just said okay. Gave him the address. Figured he'd say I'll try and we'd never speak of it again.
He showed up on Saturday at 9am.
Stood at the door in his good agbada. The one he only wears for serious things. Holding a small nylon bag.
I let him in and he walked through every room without speaking. Not quickly. Slowly. Like he was counting something. He checked the pipes under the kitchen sink. Knocked on the walls. Opened and closed the windows twice each. Looked at the ceiling in every room the way only a man who has fixed things his whole life looks at ceilings.
Then he came and stood in the sitting room and looked at me.
Said the pipework is good. Said the windows seal properly. Said whoever built this knew what they were doing.
I nodded.
Long silence.
Then he opened the nylon bag.
Inside was a small framed photo. Me at maybe 7 years old sitting on the bonnet of an old car in his workshop. Grinning. Both legs swinging. He's standing beside me with his hand on my shoulder looking at something outside the frame. I remember that day. I had gone to the workshop after school and he let me sit there while he worked and gave me a Fanta and put a Michael Jackson cassette on the small radio.
I didn't know anyone had taken a photo.
He said he kept it on his workshop table for 22 years. Said he wanted me to have something for the new place.
I held that frame and stood very still.
He said he knew he missed things. Said he was not good at the sitting and watching. That crowds made something in him go wrong in a way he never knew how to explain.
Then he said the flat was good and he was proud and he asked if there was anything in the kitchen because he hadn't eaten.
I laughed.
Made him eggs and bread while he sat at my kitchen table in his good agbada like he owned the place.
We ate and he told me about a car he was working on. I told him about a case that was giving me trouble. Normal conversation. The kind we should have been having for years.
He left at 1pm. At the door he gripped my shoulder the same way he did in that photo.
Didn't say anything.
Didn't need to.
The photo is on my sitting room wall now. First thing I hung in the whole flat.
Some fathers cannot sit in the plastic chair.
But mine drove to Ojodu in his good agbada on a Saturday morning with a 22 year old photograph in a nylon bag.
That was his standing ovation.
I just didn't know to look for it in that shape.

@Sir_jaay01 For you lot, klopp might be overrated but not for Liverpool fans, you really cant see him like we do. And any Liverpool trying to argue is just wasting time

@Nimisioluwa If abazz listen to all una opinion sef he fit later run m@d
English

Abazz sending money to another vendor will land him another round of dragging, especially if the vendor delivers better quality with delivery to any state in Nigeria. Then people will start talking down on his brand, saying he sells substandard jerseys.
What I expected him to do is ask for more time to source a better jersey with the same budget and deliver to the selected winners.
Fingers crossed and I hope we can all forgive Abazz going forward 🥲

Growing up, Easter had a feeling I still can’t fully explain. That mix of excitement and renewal in the air. Maybe it was the way my local church turned the season into a full experience, events, gatherings, and especially the stage plays where we acted out the crucifixion.
Till today, I don’t know why I was always cast as the thief on the left side, the one that didn’t make heaven, God forbid.
But somewhere along the line, that feeling faded. Easter used to be one of my favourite times of the year. Now, I’m just waking up at 10am, only to realise it’s not just Sunday, but Easter Sunday.
Anyways, happy Easter to you all ❤️

@bangerz I kinda get your point but you didnt start well nor did you end well.

I have no respect for most people who have children.
100% of the time the child does not consent to being born, it is the parents SELFISH decision.
We live in a system where most are born into obligation, not opportunity. You’re signing someone up for decades of work, stress, and survival just to satisfy your own desire to have a child.
Unless you can genuinely offer them freedom from that cycle & ownership over their time, you are actively placing them into a system designed to extract from them for life.
The global elite WANT you to keep creating their servant class. Abstain, and the system starts to crack.
I’m opting out of having children. You’re either enlightened enough to break the cycle, or stay stuck feeding the matrix.

@it_Rutie I really do not know what to say to this tweet. What abbazz did was wrong, the fact that blessing CEO scammed people wont change that fact.

@Gbonso @AramideOyekunle Money that can buy 50 bags of cement, she wants to use it to cover a half-full, half-empty head....

Forget hype train, we spent most of our peak years out running the opponent and winning the ball with intensity. It has become our identity for the longest. We did the same many times last year without the ball. And we if are never going to press or outrun our opponents, then our positional play has to be very good. We have to position well and block passing lanes even without pressing or running. We are not doing any of that

Ive been Arne Slot out since December.
Didn’t think he was getting enough out of this team. Tactically questioned him. Thought we should be seeing more.
But the more I watch it back, the more I’m starting to see the real issue.
This squad is thin. Properly thin.
The drop-off from the starting XI to the bench is brutal and no manager survives that long term without it catching up to them. Injuries hit, rotations happen, and suddenly the whole level drops.
That’s not on the manager 100%. That’s on the squad build.
I’m not saying everything Slot’s done has been perfect far from it. But maybe he’s dealing with more than we gave him credit for.
Still watching. Still expecting more.
But overall as much as I’m #SlotOut I do feel the club has left him short

@Kashe1dz I could give you a hug for this take, szoboslai thinks he is him. Lmao 😅
