DEAR WOMEN

 If a man cannot afford your bills, you need to find a job—not another man.

Let’s be honest: being in a relationship should not be your financial strategy. If a man cannot meet your financial needs, the solution is not to jump from one man to another, hoping to find one who will. The real solution is to find a job, build your skills, create multiple streams of income, and become financially independent.

Your bills are your responsibility first. It is not fair, wise, or sustainable to expect a man to shoulder all your financial burdens, especially when you are perfectly capable of working and earning for yourself. Love is not supposed to be a transaction, and relationships should not be built on financial dependency.

There is a difference between a supportive partner and a financial sponsor. A man can support you emotionally, encourage your growth, and even help out when he can—but he is not an ATM. If your lifestyle is expensive, then your hustle needs to match it.

The most empowering thing a woman can do is to take charge of her life. Work hard, chase your dreams, and let any relationship you enter into be based on love, partnership, and shared goals—not survival or financial desperation.

Respect yourself enough to stop seeing relationships as a way out of your financial challenges. A job will give you income, but self-respect and independence will give you peace.

WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THIS??????

Ideally, you are not supposed to answer or adopt your great grand parents names', grandparents names', or the names of generations before them as a surname. Your surname is supposed to be your direct father's name. For instance, if your name is Okey and your father's name is Aliyu, your name should be "Okey Aliyu" and not your grandfather's name.

But for some reasons, I understand people from influential and well-to-do families choose to adopt their forefathers' names just as a trademark to give them a push. Just like adopting Dangote, Otedola, and the rest, it gives their children pride adopting such names.

But I feel concerned seeing people answering and adopting some kind of funny names they know nothing about simply because their forefathers answered the name. Not like the name is attributed to wealth, trademark or whatever. But for some reasons best known to them, you see someone answering a name, and when you ask them for the meaning, they either tell you they don't know or give you one meaning that they themselves aren't sure about looking confused.

Name is an identity. Every name was either gotten from inspiration or circumstance surrounding the person bearing such name. Now, imagine you answering a name you know nothing about the person that first answered it and the circumstances around them simply because you want to romance your forefather's lineage.

Biblically, no one answered their grandparents' name in the genealogical order. It is James the son of Peter, Peter the son of Moses, Moses the son of Kunle, etc and not James the son of Moses who happens to be his grandfather or Kunle his great grand father. Also, fathers tend to lose their own identity as most people are directly attributed to their forefathers. Like, this is Okey, the son of Okoye. Whereas, Okoye is my great-grandfather whom I might not even know, but because I adopted his name. There are people I know there grandparents that I don't know their own parents, because once they mention their names, I already have a mental picture of their fore parents and won't even bother to ask about their own parents

So, when you give birth, let your child answer your own name, while you answer your father's name and your father should answer his own father's name. No one should be forced to answer another name that isn't their direct father's name. Even if Seyi Tinubu's children decides to answer Watermelon today, it still won't change the fact that they are grandchildren to Tinubu.

Kill that idea of saying you are preserving your name and lineage. Some of you are preserving Unoka and poverty all in your quest to carry on your forefather's name. Most people don't know the genesis of names they bear and it's worrisome. But you still have the right to answer any name you like. E no concern me.

The Three Stages of Wealth 

Step One: Making Money
The first milestone is earning income. Whether through a job, business, or investments, this is the foundation.

Step Two: Managing Money.
Earning is meaningless without control. Budget wisely, track your spending, and protect your assets.

Step Three: Multiplying Money.
This is where the real transformation happens. Investing smartly, creating multiple income streams, and letting your money work for you is the ultimate game-changer.

Wealth isn’t built overnight—it’s crafted through smart decisions, discipline, and vision.
