A baby elephant (calf) grows to become a big elephant when it feeds on elephants’ food. Imagine if the calf refuses to feed on elephants’ food, it will die of starvation or have stunted growth.

@GbengaWemimo Beautiful love story. Birthday blessings Mrs Abigail Maforikan

He said: My driver had a family emergency and had to be excused for the day I got a call at about 9 am that I was needed in Lagos for a meeting with one of our engineering partners from Italy The engineering firm I founded with four others while we were in the university has grown in leaps and bounds over the years, and we have a lot of partners in Europe. One of them died recently, and his son took over the family business The meeting was going to be between our team and the new management of that firm, headed by their new president. I needed to be in Lagos, so I dressed up and headed out immediately. When I drove out of Bodija Estate Extension, I had the option to head to Bashorun and link up with the expressway from there or link up through Ashi junction, but I found myself driving towards the University of Ibadan. It was way off course, but I drove on anyway. When I got to Ojoo, I realised I was feeling sleepy behind the wheel. It has been a while since I drove that kind of distance, and my body was feeling the pressure even before I had driven for twenty minutes I was well rested, so it was not physical tiredness. It was more of a psychological response to the journey ahead. I know I needed company So I drove slowly and scanned through the passengers heading into the car park That was when I saw her A young lady walking with energy and carrying a simple bag. I parked, wound down the windshield, and honked at her She looked my way and smiled I becoked on her to come closer and asked her if she was going to Lagos She said yes Then I told her I was feeling sleepy and needed a lively soul to talk to, and not someone who would sleep off once she got in my car She said, "I can do that," and hopped into the car And she did that. She talked and laughed and screamed and argued and sang She changed the music playing on my car stereo so many times that I eventually told her the Bluetooth password and asked her to connect her phone to the stereo and play songs from her playlist Did I mention that she was twenty-five years old and I was forty? I mean, her taste in music is absolutely different from mine, and the musicians she was listening to were unknown to me I was single and unattached. Not because I didn't want to get married, but because I didn't do so when I had the chance. Once my business prospered and I began to make money, love became a dicey thing, and finding a wife became a problem. The only woman I ever loved insisted I must abandon my company and get a job when the company was still at it's infancy I refused, and she left One year later, the company won its first international contract I have dedicated my life to building the company without any distractions since then. We talked as if we had known each other for many years. I was very aware of the age difference, and it didn't cross my mind to have any form of relationship with her. She encouraged me to speed throughout the journey and would hoot whenever I overtook another car. We got to Lagos, and I dropped her off at Unilag My plan was to go to my hotel, rest a bit, and freshen up before my meeting at 10 pm. She was the one who asked for my phone number when she alighted from my vehicle She said, "Just so I could be sure you got to your destination safely." I was resting when she called at about 2 pm, asking me to come and pick her up from the venue. She didn't ask directly, and I must confess that I had been thinking about her So when she called, my response was "I am coming". I picked her up, but I didn't know what to do with her So I asked her where she was going, and she said Ibadan. I said I would have loved to ride back with her, but I had a meeting that night and would be returning to Ibadan the following morning She said, "Hmm, I would like to ride back with you, but I didn't pack an overnight bag, etc." I said, " We can buy whatever you want." She said, "Okay." So we went to buy. After buying the stuff and having lunch, I decided to book a room for her at a hotel I asked her which hotel she usually stayed at in Lagos, and she googled some and told me to take her to one in Yaba. I did. I paid for the room and gave her some money to get dinner, and left By this time, it was about 5 pm I was excited that I would be driving back to Ibadan with her I got to my hotel at about 7 pm due to traffic, and she called She said she was bored and would like to come over to my hotel I like that about her She had that childish directness when she communicated She would just say what she had in mind I told her I couldn't risk driving through traffic to pick her up because of my meeting She was not taking no for an answer, so I told her to come over She came in at about 9:15 pm I was waiting at the reception with her copy of the key card and some instructions I hated to be late for a meeting. My office had also sent another driver to take me to the meeting by this time I just hopped into the car, and we rushed off to the meeting I couldn't stop thinking about her I am not talking about thinking about her in terms of sex or relationship, No. I was just intrigued and awed I got to the meeting, and it turned out to be one of those very long ones We left the venue of the meeting at about 4:30 am I rushed back to the hotel and met her sleeping in the hotel robe I sat and observed her for a few minutes before waking her up She rubbed her eyes like a baby and rushed into the bathroom to freshen up and change I sat at the reading table and peeked inside her jotter, which was on the table She also dropped some money, a key, her purse, and ruffles on the table. She came out of the bathroom fully dressed She then said, "At least brush your teeth before checking out. It is not good for a big boy like you to talk to people, and your mouth will be oozing." I laughed so hard But I went into the bathroom, and she followed me into the bathroom and watched me as I brushed my teeth. Who does that? When I indicated that I needed my privacy She laughed and said, "I am the woman, and I should be the one feeling uncomfortable with a man. Why are you being such a girl?" It was all clean and not flirty or seductive She was just plain, you know, when they say a person has no guile? Yeah, that was what I saw in her that morning. I enjoyed that a lot We checked out of the hotel, and I slept all the way to Ibadan. We got to Ibadan at about 7 am Her parents' house was just after the Polytechnic, Ibadan. Eleyele Area. We dropped her off, and that was supposed to be that. I got home, and suddenly my house felt empty I immersed myself in work Traveled to Lagos several times and even to Abuja for meetings and project supervisions She told me she was engaged, and I didn't want to encourage any form of familiarity Anyway, weeks went by, and one evening, I felt it was safe to call her and say hello I did, and she answered as if she had been expecting my call We talked for a few minutes, and she said she has been waiting for my call That statement really helped. I said I would drive over to pick her up, and I did. I took her to dinner She said she had broken her engagement and even resigned from her job She said she had packed her bags and given many of her things away to her younger sister and some friends I asked her why She said, "Because you are my husband and you want me to be a stay-at-home wife." I think that was the night we had our first kiss She came with a precision that I value so much She followed me home that day It was from my house that we went to meet with her parents It was from my house that we went to the registry When her parents insisted that she could not come to the traditional marriage from my house, and she insisted she was not leaving, I had to make a compromise. We moved to a hotel close to her parents' house for the occasion, and when we were done, we came back to my house together. She is forty years old today I mean, today is her fortieth birthday, and we decided to share our story with you and your readers We have four children and a very happy home. Let me also state that we were both not Christians when we met The Christian concert she went to attend was just for entertainment, and even though I was also born a Christian, I never gave my life to Christ until after we had our first child I think we both gave our lives to Christ on the same day PS: Happy Birthday to Mrs. Abigail Maforikan I find their love story refreshing She told me her story, and I decided to hear the story from her husband's perspective, too, so that I could see both sides of the coin. Some know when they meet the one, and some don't Noah released a raven, and it could not find a place to nest Noah released a dove, and it found a place to nest Such is the way of men and women when it comes to love.

@OjyOkpe My deepest condolences, OJY. May you and your siblings be comforted. I feel your pain deeply. This was my experience last year, losing both parents within six months.

A Tribute To My Father ❤️🕊️ Chief Barrister Matthew Egwuenu (1946-2026)

@harrydaniyan @GbengaWemimo That’s the question.

@GbengaWemimo The question is, did the man's wife KNOW her dad was using her husband's money to build a house for her without his (her husband's) knowledge? The answer to this is KEY. 😑

Feedback on this: I got the phone number of the Father-In-Law and introduced myself to him as the "Pastor" of the son-in-law. I told him what the Son-In-Law discovered through his investigations and the options being considered. I told him I told his Son-In-Law to let me talk to him before the option of EFCC and selling off the property is pursued. Baba listened and said he has been building the two houses for his daughter and his son-in-law. (The daughter being the wife of the Son-In-Law) and that he only said it was for his son because he didn't know how the Son-In-Law will take it if he had told him he wanted him to build a house for his wife on the plot next to his house. He said he has nothing to hide and would have preferred that the son-in-law come to him with his findings instead of trying to use a roundabout way to take over the construction project He said his daughter should come to his house to pick up the documents for both plots. He said he is handing off the project, and the son-in-law can complete both buildings with his choice of contractor. He also promised to continue to help with touts and land grabbers until the project is done. I want to thank everybody for their counsel, it helped to present a compelling and persuasive case in the resolution of the problem. This ended swiftly and was a win for everybody. God bless you.

@GbengaWemimo The father in-law lacks integrity and is very dishonest. The man should involve a lawyer, consider selling the property, and buy another land in a different area. If the wife’s involved in this scam, it’s a pretty messed-up situation.

A father-in-law invited his son-in-law for a meeting When the son-in-law got there, the father-in-law told him that he had just been offered two plots of land close to his house for sale He didn't have the money to buy it, but he felt he should call both his own son and his son-in-law to buy one plot of the land each. The son-in-law, a moderately wealthy banker, asked the Father-In-law for the cost and paid for a plot. The Father-In-Law told him that his son had also paid and would start construction soon. He encouraged his son-in-law to also develop the plot of land quickly because of land grabbers. He offered to help him supervise the project as he will also be supervising the project of his own son. He was a landlord in the area, and his influence would help handle all the touts who would usually disturb new project sites for illegal payments. The son-in-law agreed, and the project commenced. Things went on well for six months until the son-in-law had to travel for a programme in the USA, and this affected the funds he was sending for the project. When he returned to Nigeria, he noticed that the other project, which his father-in-law claimed to be supervising for his own son, also didn't progress from where it was since he travelled. It was this other project that his father-in-law was using to motivate him all along, and he felt the house would have been completed while he was away. He took all the bills and receipts of all the materials he had bought to a quantity surveyor, and he was told the materials he had paid for ought to have completed his project He deduced that his father-in-law had been using his money to develop both properties simultaneously. He then reached out to the person who sold the land and discovered that he had paid for both plots. The original receipt went to his father-in-law His father-in-law then issued another receipt for one plot to him. He decided not to confront his father-in-law because it would ruin the marriage and possibly lead to an ugly situation that would be avoided. He decided to take the project off his father-in-law and give it to an independent contractor to complete. His father-in-law refused, stating that nobody would work on that project but him. He said it was through his influence that the son-in-law got the land for cheap and with ease, and it was through his influence that the area touts and land grabbers were kept at bay He said if anybody reports to the site for work outside of his own contractors, he would unleash hell on them. The son-in-law is asking what he should do in this situation. @harrydaniyan and other wise builders, architects, landlord and home owners, what can we do, or should we just go spiritual?

@onu_slim Please, can you point me to part 1?

Make Money in Nigeria Without Working Series(PART 3): Nigeria has fooled many people into thinking money only comes from sweat, stress and suffering. Omo, If you’re not waking up by 4am and returning home looking like boiled yam, they think you don’t deserve wealth. Meanwhile, a quiet group is cashing out… silently. They’re not tweeting “rise and grind”. They’re not forming motivational speaker. They’re not dragging hustle culture. They’re simply putting their money inside Money Market/Fixed-Income Mutual Funds….. and their money is working harder than any human being in Lagos traffic. What are these funds? Simple. Oya listen…. You give your fund manager money. They invest in Treasury Bills, Commercial Papers, FGN Bonds and other fixed-income instruments. You earn returns every single day, even when you’re sleeping. It’s basically: “Let my money hustle… not me.” Most Nigerians are not broke because they don’t make money. They’re broke because their money is unemployed. They leave millions sitting in a normal savings account earning 2% per year….. while inflation is doing backflips at 28%. Your money is literally dying slowly. But people in Money Market Funds? Their money is eating good. Their money is lifting weights. Their money is doing 9-5 and night shift. Their money is WORKING. Let’s use real life: Tunde saves 100k monthly in a normal savings account. One year later he has 1.2M….. but the real value is like 810k because inflation beat am like talking drum. Now meet Anita. She saves the same 100k monthly, but inside a Money Market Fund. After one year? She still has her 1.2M… PLUS 140k – 190k in interest. Tunde is shouting “God when”. But the God he’s calling already gave him Money Market Funds. He just ignored them. Best part? You can start with 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k. No millions needed. No special knowledge. No stress. No wahala. Just consistent growth. Here’s the triggering truth: If you’re still keeping big money in a savings account in 2025….. you’re not saving. You’re donating. The bank takes your money, invests it in the same instruments you refuse to try….. and keeps the profit. Your bank is getting rich. You’re getting receipts. Moral of the story: In this economy, it’s not the person who works the hardest that wins…… It’s the person whose money works the hardest. Money Market Funds are the cheat code. The soft life route. The quiet backdoor to financial growth. You can stress your body….. or you can stress your money. Your choice. MONEY MARKET FUNDS The Quiet Way Nigerians Are Getting Rich While Others Are Shouting “Hustle!”

@aproko_doctor Happy blessed birthday Aproko doctor.

Happy birthday to me!

@DrJoeAbah Happy blessed birthday, sir. I’m so glad God saved you form that crash.

Today is my birthday. I am grateful to God for another year of grace. I thank God for the miracle of walking away from a serious car crash in June, unscathed. I thank God for the love that surrounds me. Our purpose is not yet fulfilled. Like Arsenal, we go again next year!😀

@gechife You’ve got beautiful hair.💕

3 yrs ago I coloured my hair reddish. Been growing it . For last three months I did not go to a salon. I did my hair growth oil daily, no heat let hair go natural. It grew 3 inches at least in 3 months. This is 3 year growth - see where the red is now. Stretched it’s at waist

@DavidHundeyin @naijaBoys_Tales 😂😂😂😂😂. Davidoo

I debated long and hard whether to do this publicly, but I think a message needs to be sent to a group of external interests working in tandem with the internal interests described in the quoted tweet to counteract the interests of half a billion West Africans. A message that at whatever level we exist, we take our destiny seriously and we are not to be trifled with. Last week, I received an N800,000 offer from an international NGO called Dialogue Earth (formerly known as China Dialogue Trust) to write an article essentially saying that Dangote Refinery is terrible for the environment because something something "Environmental Concerns," something something "Climate Change," something something "Energy Transition Policy," something something "COP 28." The (unstated but clearly implied) thrust of the brief was for a prominent local voice to put their name on an article that is an argument or a premise for the the Nigerian government to kill the refinery based on its "energy transition commitments" and "environmental policy." This conclusion wasn't immediately apparent when they reached out to me, but I suspected where it was heading, and I quickly accepted the offer so that I could see the brief and obtain hard evidence. I've attached screenshots from the brief below. Basically, this London-based NGO is headed by Sam Geall, an Oxford professor and is funded by several American intelligence fronts such as Ford Foundation and ClimateWorks (which is blacklisted in India for funding organisations working against India's national interest). For whatever reason, it is now quietly mobilising a resistance campaign against what it describes as "Nigeria's first refinery." Apparently, the status quo of Africa's largest oil producer having no functioning oil refinery to beneficiate its own oil was not a problem for Dialogue Earth and the American CIA fronts who fund it. The human poverty caused by exporting this raw material and importing refined fuel was not bad for the environment. Also, the fact of European refiners regularly blending West African fuel cargoes with toxic waste and sulphur content 200 times the European legal limit (leading to asthma, bronchitis and eye infections in West Africa) was also not bad for the environment. But Nigeria having a refinery that will wean West Africa off import dependency on those European refiners (and allow West Africa control the sulphur content of its own fuels) is where Dialogue Earth and its funders draw the line. That one is bad for the environment, and David Hundeyin should write an article calling for the refinery to be shut down or limited. I'm putting this out there publicly so that nobody will henceforth use the term "conspiracy theory" when it is pointed out for the umpteenth time, that there are American and European state and private interests that are heavily invested in keeping Africa exactly as poor as it is, and that they regularly push levers most of us do not even know exist, to make sure that this status quo is protected. These people believe that Africans should not exist or have nice things in this world. Apparently, the sole purpose of our existence is to enhance their experience of the planet and all that it has to offer. It is because of them that I have to make a public spectacle out of this, even though I know that doing this is probably going to cost someone their job. The message needs to be passed that as poor as we are, you cannot convince us to campaign for the elongation of our own poverty by commissioning $500 hack jobs in the hope that we will be greedy enough to only see the money and ignore the bigger picture of what we can clearly see you trying to do. I will reiterate something I have said multiple times - I am not a believer in the religious faith called Climate Change/Saving The Environment. I care exactly as much about the environment as do the rich white men who destroyed it to begin with. I firmly believe that if what it takes for Africa to industrialise is for it to burn so much fossil fuel that snow stops falling in Wisconsin and it starts raining concentrated sulphuric acid in Doncaster, it is not too big a price for Europe and North America to pay - it is certainly not bigger than the price Africa had to pay for Europe and North America to develop. It is and will continue to be 100% OUR prerogative to determine what to do with our hydrocarbons. It is not the rich white men hiding behind these "Climate Advocacy NGOs" who will tell us what to do with our energy reserves, and by what means we are allowed to escape the poverty that they engineered for us. I might not be a fan of Aliko Dangote or his monopolistic business practices - as is well known - but I'm also smart enough to know when rich white men in DC, Houston, Rotterdam and London and trying to use me as a marionette in their 400 year-old coloniser games. If you are reading this and you are one of the rich white men whose economic interests are threatened by Nigeria refining its own oil, you should come out and fight Aliko Dangote by yourself. Or at least go find a much stupider African to do your dirty job - there's plenty of those. It will never be me.

These STICKERS on FRUITS (mostly imported) do you know what they mean? Very important information. I hope you can benefit from it. If there are 4 digits and the first digit is 3 or 4, it means that this fruit has been sprayed with pesticides. It must be well washed before consumption. If the number of digits is 5 and the first digit is 9, this indicates that this fruit or vegetable is organic (and is considered the best type) If the number of digits is 5 and the first digit is 8, that means that the fruit or vegetable has been genetically modified and dangerous to health. Your HEALTH is PRICELESS. Take care of YOURSELVES! PASS THE MESSAGE TO OTHERS, PLEASE. Culled
