Financial Prosperity with Integrity and Godliness.

In the different scenarios of life and on the path to gain some financial independence, ability to sustain yourself - dear young man/woman, every day life can be quite daunting.

However, note that challenges are common to every individual: student, young school leaver, graduate (employed, non-employed) and even adults, no matter the age-grade.

Most importantly though, the right values: honor, moral, decency, decorum, honesty still matter a great deal. Not only as good seeds for great harvests, but also as the necessary ingredients for the common good on the long run - wherein communities can thrive in a holistic manner: physical health, mental wellness with emotional stability. 


Truly, becoming an adult or adulting is not a piece of cake (no be beans as we say in Naija (Nigerian) parlance). 


In between trying to earn, save, stay sane, and keep up with your dreams, the temptation to take *shortcuts* is real and the *doors* to such available in different many colourful garbs. 


The main unwavering deal (the koko) is the fact that there is still:
- power in honest hustle. 
- dignity in work. 
- beauty in doing it the right (legit) way.


Too many of our young people get lured into fraud, scamming, fake lifestyles, and shady gigs, not always borne out of wickedness, but rather because no one told them:

> “You can start small (slow and steady) yet still build something big with integrity, after all slow and steady wins the race.”

With the right nurturing, you get to imbibe the right values: discipline, grit, empathy, you make money, and also build a worthy legacy.

💡So here are some timely, great reminders:
- That small job? Honourable.
- That legit side hustle? Powerful.
- That skill you are learning? Priceless.
- That budget you are sticking to? Freedom in progress.

Really, you do not need to scam anyone nor be involved in any shady deals to succeed.
You do not need fake riches to feel real worthy, rather build your positive, healthy, self-esteem within your honest means of income. 

*Your values will always and most assuredly open the doors your shortcuts never could.*

💡To Every School Leaver, Indigent Student, Hustling Dreamer:
-This is your moment to show up and build with honest, smart work. 
-Do not sell your future for quick coins, no ponzi schemes, nor fake fame (to 'blow', anyhow). 

- It is time to buckle up. 
- Rise with grit. 
- Work with pride. 
- Learn with hunger. 
- Build with values.

Isaiah 60:1-2 AMPC
*"60 Arise [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you—rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you!*
*2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you."*

The Village Forum

In view of the acts of nurturing which we recently discussed vis-a-vis parenting, these cut across our various villages, communities, groups, etc., there is a need to take a look at the Power of Communal Support in a Fast-Changing World - as the world is now recognized as a global village.  Once upon a time (time, time) our elders in the African folklore settings passed across timeless truth, values, proverbs, etc in the most engaging ways with songs, dramas and dances.  All of these buttress the fact, in real time either in motherland Africa or so many other parts of the world that indeed *“It takes a village to raise a child”*.  This is not just a cute quote - it was a lived reality.  Grandmas were the bedtime story-tellers.  Grandpas helped with homework in the local dialects and history subjects.  Aunties were your backup moms.  Uncles doubled as career advisors (with or without your expressed requests).  Neighbours? Let us just sa...

More Nurturing...

Image
My personal nurturing went up a few notches over the Easter Break - reflecting on the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ with personal persons (5 - 13 years family members)  'Bella - Omobolanle mi owon - sent these across via WhatsApp, after exchange of chats, voice-notes and video calls. These got me all teary eyed. Love you too darling and ready for today's conversation (the school holiday is not over yet 😊😊😊😊😊).  🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

🎉 Celebrating Fathers and Father Figures: The Unsung Nurturers

Image
Hmmmmmmm, not all nurturers are biological relations...,they do show up in different sizes, shapes etc, not one size fits all.  It is another day to celebrate a group of special persons, who get to be overlooked more often than not all year round (these ones who may not always say much, but their presence is very much loud in impact). As we mark yet another Father’s Day, we take a moment to spotlight the often unsung but deeply powerful role of men as nurturers — not just in title, but in consistent actions. Whether it is the biological dad who shows up at school events, the uncle who quietly pays fees, the foster father who stands firm as a safe place, or even that thoughtful older cousin who always checks in - these men shape lives in ways that linger long after childhood. Nurturing is not only about hugs and lullabies, rather it is - ...sometimes, the reassuring “I've got you,” - …the lifted eyebrow that says “you can do better,” - …the silent sacrifices made without...
