11 years after setting that goal and dreaming about it…after failing a number of times and achieving success, today, I achieved one of my top career goals - I became a Chartered Marketer. All the glory to Jehovah…
In 2014 (at 34), the gross monthly salary from my 9 - 5 was 90,000 NGN. As I approach my 42nd birthday, on the verge of another increase in my monthly net pay (the 3rd in 15 months), I realise how far I’ve come. All the glory belongs to God.
One of the biggest things I’ve learnt from being married is, being a ‘good guy,’ who doesn’t cheat or engage in domestic violence isn’t enough to have a successful and happy marriage.
For someone who was homeless and broke asf just 5 years ago, that I'm able to pay my rent and my parents' rent in the same month is only because of God. All the glory belongs to You, Father. May I never forsake You.
The
#EndSARS
movement suffered major hits today. But we didn’t turn violent, we didn’t stoop to the level of our shameless politicians and so called barn leaders. No one said victory will come cheap. We’ll keep pressing on. We’ll outlast them.

Leaving childcare aside for a bit, as a married man, when you handle chores at home (cleaning the house, doing the dishes, shopping for groceries, cooking, etc.), you’re NOT helping your wife.
They can’t believe it! People with no connections are being arrested and bailed out the same day. No one is being left behind! They can’t believe it.

It's not fair to say we moved on from the deaths of 20-10-20. We just haven't figured out what to do yet, with an enemy that has guns and has shown that it will not hesitate to kill us.
The notion that single people know nothing about marriage and cannot contribute anything meaningful to what makes one successful is quite laughable and deeply erroneous.
I’m going to learn how to drive, swim, and ride a bicycle, all in my early 40s. I’ve never been prouder of myself; that I don’t believe I’m too old to learn these things, or that it’s too late.
I’m grateful that I’m an emotional person. I don’t like the weaknesses, but it means my empathy level is high. I can connect with people’s feelings at a level most can’t. And I wouldn’t trade that for anything.
The orientation of boys about sexual assault needs to start from primary school. They need to learn that it’s okay to be in the same room...sleep in the same room/house with a woman and not need to “get some.”
There’s no flower more beautiful
No sunset more breathtaking
No laughter sweeter to hear
No smile that captivates my soul
No one can compare
Now or ever
As you have made my life so much fuller and complete, may you always be more and more. Happy Birthday,

My belief is that, once you marry, your spouse becomes your immediate family; the number one person you make decisions with (who you defer to). Everyone else - your father, your mother, your friends - takes second place.
Those are the bare minimum. It’s like buying a car and it not having tires, a steering wheel, gear box, and an engine. Those aren’t what make it a great car. But they are all expected.
#my2023testimony
: I had 3 job titles this year.
In January, I was Digital Transformation Manager, Nigeria and Africa

Jehovah is the greatest.
After 8 years, failing 6 times (some modules, back to back), passing 7 modules, and learning a shit load of stuff about marketing, I now officially have a diploma in professional marketing from the Chartered Institute of Marketing, UK.
One thing I quickly learnt when I got married is, being a good man isn’t = a good husband. You’ve to consciously put in the effort to be a good husband. A great one even.
A lot of people want to run Facebook (and Instagram) ads for their businesses, but don't know how to run ads that will get them good results. I want to share 4 TIPS, based on my experience of running ads for myself and for people. PLEASE RT.

10 years ago, I was:
- Homeless
- Broke (there were days I didn’t have up to 100 Naira to my name)
- Struggled with self-esteem
But what I did have were the Holy Spirit, perseverance, my business, sales skills, desire to learn, and great friends.
“Opinions are easy to produce; everyone has plenty of them and most people are eager to share them - even to fight for them. Unfortunately many are worthless or even harmful, including a lot of your own.”
My wife surprised me with flowers! ☺️ Thank you,
@abibamigboye
. You’re my greatest achievement. Nothing I accomplished, before I married you and after, can ever top that.

A vote for PDP is a vote for APC. Vote Labour for Governor of Lagos, vote “papa, mama, and pikin, Vote for GRV.” Vote to show that power truly belongs to the people.
My colleague in Uganda said Museveni has not only shut down social media platforms, he shut down the Internet as well. The state is also cracking down on VPNs. This is what some people want for Nigeria. Thunder faya una yansh.
365 days.
Time really flies when you’re having fun. Our union is the embodiment of everything great about marriage.
Thank you for the best year of my life (so far),
@femalesunshine
. Thank God for everything we have created in these 12 months.
I love you. Happy Anniversary!
Nobody has resigned. Not one government official, elected or not, has come forward to say they no longer want to be a part of this administration and resigned. That tells you it’s all of them vs us. None is going exempt.

After splitting my relationships into:
1) Friends
2) Close acquaintances
3) Acquaintances
I realised I have way less people in the first bucket and more people in the 3rd.
For everyone angry at my tweet, I will say it again: Segun Awosanya is an agent of satan who could have caused countless deaths. He lacks integrity. We won’t forget.

Sorry ladies, this might sound sexist, but most of us men don't like being coached by our wives. So if you must correct him on issue. be nice. Its something called ego. A man thing. You wont understand.

The

movement suffered attacks today. Thugs, shootings, lies and disinformation to spread disunity and break our hold on strategic locations. But we’re still here. And we will go again tomorrow.

I earned 100k talking about digital marketing for 2 hours to my fellow marketers, and at that moment, I realised how far God had brought me, the boy who didn’t graduate from university.
#forevergrateful
I worked for a company that didn’t remit my pension and tax for the 6 months I worked there (even though it was deducted). Apart from a few friends I told, I never came out publicly to blast the founder (who is very well known, on and off social media). You just want to move on.
All this conversation about people eating and drinking at Lekki Tollgate...I totally get it. But are they holding the line? Yesss! And they have held it all week. Let's not lose sight of the goal.

9 out of 10 times, you will gain respect from your woman by paying attention to her needs, being kind, understanding, compassionate and vulnerable, than by ‘putting your foot down,’ and saying I will not allow this and that.
I will like to say, “I worked for it and I got it,” but that won’t be true. God did it. All glory to Him. Now to complete level 6 and get that diploma, enroute to becoming a chartered marketer.

Half on A Baby - R. Kelly
Yearnin' - Donell Jones
Kinna Right - Tyrese
Birthday Sex - Jeremih
Lay Your Body - Carl Thomas
Nobody - Keith Sweat ft. Athena Cage
Nice and Slow - Usher
And I pray to always have this attitude; never too old to learn or try new things, never ashamed/embarrassed to say I don’t know how...to see myself fail or stumble while I learn...always open to laughing at myself while I try.
We should be holding onto strategic locations that will hurt them - toll gates, roads leading to airports, major highways, etc., not congregating at Muri Okunola Park.

This year, I earned the most income I’ve ever earned on a single consulting engagement (and in the process, hit a particular financial milestone I had wanted to achieve for almost 7 years).
