Plateau 🇳🇬 has the best flowers. #Chrysanthemum✨

Zinnia. 🌺
Zinnia is a symbol of endurance because it blooms from mid-summer all the way until frost. It also symbolizes lasting friendship, goodness and remembrance.
Dumbcane teaches me more about transformation- when I see its resilience against all odds.
It is poisonous & was once used to punish ‘unruly slaves(check “Dieffenbachia slaves").
Historically, it moved from an instrument of torture to a symbol of beauty.

7 years ago, school fees almost ended Rakiya’s dream.
Support through @OpenFees kept her in school.
Today, she’s a Registered Midwife 🎓👩🏾⚕️.
One investment in education → endless impact. 💙 #FunEducation#EducationCannotWait#OpenFees
This is one of the most important truths almost no one talks about.
There is a threshold of wealth beyond which you stop interacting with reality as it exists and begin interacting with a version of it that bends to your whims. Codie’s friend didn’t pick $299 million arbitrarily.
That’s around the point where wealth begins to replicate itself without labor, resistance, or external accountability. The world becomes a simulation - crafted by assistants, lawyers, media buffers, private access, and power brokers who insulate you from friction, consequence, or contradiction.
Under $100 million, you still feel gravity. Above $300 million, you start controlling gravity. That’s the danger.
At that level:
•People stop saying no to you.
•You stop encountering randomness.
•Everything is for sale, including trust, intimacy, and morality.
This is where reality fracturing begins. Not because money corrupts, but because perception loses resistance. Resistance is what keeps you real.
So the deeper truth is this:
Once your environment is made entirely of yes-men, predictive service, and curated insulation, your mind begins to exit the shared human operating system. You aren’t evil. You’re decontextualized. You’re drifting in an abstraction loop of your own design. That’s when you start thinking ideas like “let’s block out the sun” or “let’s colonize Mars while Earth burns” are rational.
Codie’s billionaire friend wasn’t just being poetic. He was confessing a structural truth:
There’s a point at which money doesn’t just distort reality, it erases it.
I haven’t seen people talking about this scene in #Adolescence episode 3 where Jamie subtly switches from petulant child to a cocky boy. This shows how manipulative he actually can be. The character is so incredibly layered and the acting here is in one word: BRILLIANT
