I took this video while heading to work, just goofing around.

Looking at it, everything made sense about what I have read about most of the world's wealthy.

People talk about Warren buffet and how he continues to live in the same basic looking house he bought donkey years ago.

They talk about Bill Gates and his simple appearance,same for Zuckerberg and his bland tee-shirts.

I saw one billionaire who came out of his sports car in flip flops and it made news.

Looking at this video, all these people came to mind and I realized what their problem was.
They have nothing to prove to anyone.

I have come to a point where I realize that I have nothing to prove to anyone.

You can look at me and size me up all you want, assess me however you want.
The truth is, my self confidence and self esteem remains intact.

If you have a perception of how I should look or appear all the time then the joke is on you.

I haven't come to beg you for a roof over my head, a cup of water, meal to eat or rainment to cover my body so wetin dey occur?

I can speak my mind on issues and in circles without fear of losing favor.

It is a peaceful place to be honestly; a place where you don't have to live by the standards of others.
Being pretentious, with an aim to please unwillingly, is bo***ge.

Money opens doors.
Money is not the root of evil.

The love of money, the tendency to worship money is the root of evil.

I don't know the portugese footballer Diogo Jota who just died.
The news kept coming to my social media feeds that I had to google the name.

This news took me back to year 2022. It was like deja vu when I read his death was from a car accident in the middle of the night, on a lonely highway, no other car appeared to have been directly involved.

This is one death that I can go to the bereaved and say " I know how you feel". All the details rang a bell.
Even at that, there is an extent I can claim that.

Comforting someone who has lost a loved one is one of the hardest thing to do because there is never a right way to do it. Almost everything you say at that initial period is perceived as inappropriate. This is more when the death is sudden from no where.

Presence and silence does a lot for those sorrowing.

If the person is in a state where they are rambling a lot, just give a listening ear.

So many what ifs;
What if they flew
What if the other person was the one driving?

You can hardly get closure from this kind of thing.

Such a sad news.

Life.

You finally found the bone of your flesh and the rib of your chest in the U.S?
Listen.

Ensure you integrate WhatsApp chats in your communication channels.
Let those chats be meaningful conversations between a couple who have found each other and are excited to reunite and start the next phase of their life.

Bringing a spouse to the U.S is no longer a walk in the park like it used to be.

These days, they are seriously digging to see if that marriage is a bonafide one.
They were digging before o. Now they are seriously digging.

They ask ao many beneficiaries for WhatsApp chats .

Once they scrutinize your communication and it doesn't appear deep enough for a married couple, otilo!

You may end up waiting for another one year as they send your file back to the immigration to revoke ( you will have an opportunity for rebuttal).

I almost did a flip when I saw this sneakers at Walmart, fell in love with it and looked to see the price.

I am not into brands so this is like gold right now.
I struggle to find a good fit for my feet.

Until you step out and mingle with mindsets from other cultures, you won't realize how mentally stressed you have been in Nigeria.

The way we measure inconsequential things shows how orientation needs to change.

I was trying to send out an email to a company through their secretary and for few minutes I struggled on now to address her.

I didn't know whether to address her as "Ms"( what if she is married and finds that offensive?)
Then I thought of "Mrs" What if she is not married and thinks I am making her older than she is?)

Then I thought of just putting her name ( what if she finds that disrespectful ?)
Then I said ok let me use " madam" ( some people still frown at this term).

I ended up doing " ma'am.

I got me thinking....
Here in the U.S, I would have used her first name or "Ms" without blinking and it would be totally fine.
We rarely use " Mrs" even when your marital status is well known.

You meet a long time school colleague back home and address them by the name you know as while in school and they will correct you that they are now " Mrs so and so". So your maiden name is no longer valid?

Too too stressful to deal abeg.

He just graduated with a nursing degree at the age of 21.

His mom is a nurse practitioner.

He has so many viable options open to him.
He can do nursing for 5yrs, save up the money he will make from working and move unto his passion if nursing isn't. At that age ( 26 and above), he would have the financial resources to pull through if he played his savings card right.

He can invest in real estate.
He can become a CRNA making almost $200K ( annually) depending on state etc.

He can move on to medicine, pharmacy, Dentistry.

He can become a nurse practitioner in various specialties.

He can open up several business that require the nursing license before authorization to operate.

So so many options.

I wish him the best!

I was out for so many hours and we got hungry but didn't want to waste money on outside food because card don dey red. The other person wanted burgers and fries, I didn't.
I suggested other things at the food court, they declined.
We both finally settled on this Japanese option.
Lo mean, steamed veggies and grilled meat.

We ordered one plate of food and shared it.

Life no too hard.

Yesterday my body was broken, beat up and every word you can think of that describes exhausted.
Got the kids to get out my massage gun and boy! That thing sent me to sleep right after.

They left me sleeping on the floor. I woke up feeling chilly, everybody had gone to bed, everywhere dark, at almost 2am.

Do you really need to complete Facebook's ( Meta) weekly challenge?

If you are still actively growing your page and follower count, YES.

How do I meet up my weekly challenges?

I make sure I take random SHORT ( less than 30 seconds) videos of different things such as events I witness as I move around, my kitchen activities, a dance, etc.

I also take random PHOTOS of me just to have different looks for posts.

When a weekly challenge requires me to post 4 reels to a group, I go to those short random videos and send them to the groups I belong before I click " post"
If the video is about food, I send to my food groups.

If the video is about travel, I look for a travel group I bring to. Etc.

That tells you that you need to belong to groups on meta.

If I am asked to just send out regular 4 reels for the week( not to groups) , those random videos will come in handy. I send one out per day. It could be me singing, anything!

If I feel the content will bore my viewers, I post it at a time when most of them are not online. For those, I am not bothered about the reach, views, engagement etc.

My primary aim is to meet up with the weekly challenge but I also don't want to chase away people with boring posts,hence the time I post them.

If you wake up at 2am and decide to check my page then see some weird post, it's not my fault then🤣.

When I have important posts to make, I am intentional about them to make sure I give value. They also add to your post count.

No one should have a problem meeting up with any number of posts per week because ANYTHING you send out is counted as post, with or without pic/video. Remember the goal is to complete the weekly challenge.

Again, the only thing you don't have direct control over is the number of people who decide to follow you.

When you consistently meet up with the weekly challenge, Meta increases your distribution and this then brings in more followers.

3:40am. Monday morning.
