PROFILING is another abused word on Twitter and the daftest among them are those who always bring up EndSARS to argue against profiling.

There is NOTHING wrong with profiling. Everybody profiles because it is the smartest way to use your intuition.
The problem with the Nigerian Police wasn't profiling. It was unlawful profiling. Unlawful profiling connotes discriminatory practices that imposes a presumption of guilt on a person.

Whether you like it or not, you are being profiled everyday.
Whether you admit it or not, you profile people everyday.

That is why in Oshodi, you rather walk up to that guy with glasses and school bag who looks like a student than that guy sagging his jeans with brown teeth and red eyes drinking agbo.

You have profiled them.
I'm only addressing this because I am tired of dealing with graduates who sound like illiterates. It is embarrassing the number of people who don't know the meaning of profiling and always bring up EndSARS

"That is why Police will shoot you because you have dread"

You're a fool

To me, prostitution is a necessary part of society. The demand is high. The supply is high. Legalization is necessary to protect the the ones on the street from sexual abuse and economic exploitation. Their colleagues working from home and on the Internet don't need protection.
The problem with prostitution in Nigeria is denial. People who prostitute don't want to admit to prostitution and don't want to be seen as one. Hence, they use all sort of euphemism to address the prostitution.

But prostitution in our society is large scale.
The ones we call prostitutes are actually street prostitute. Prostitution exists in our clubs, bars, massage parlour, small and medium scale businesses are used as front for prostitution both online and offline, 9 - 5ivers used their weekend travelling to satisfy customers.

I understand we are all have attachment towards our gender because men and women experience the world differently. However, reducing relationship to rows and columns to check who win and who lost helps nobody. One unique trait is that evil exist abundantly in both gender.
Everyday, we are encompassed with how much harm men do to women and how much harm women do to men. The problem is not gender. The problem is the flaw in human behaviour.

While we are trying to be careful and putting up emotional-proof to avoid hurt, don't get obsessed with evil.
Men don't deserve goodness
Women deserve wickedness

These are how we convince ourselves to create a ripple effect of wickedness and expand the ever growing market of heartbreaks. Men are not to blame for the wrongs of Ikenna and women are not to blame for the wrongs of Sarah.

Reputation isonu. This Femi guy was all about the money but I'll leave you to read for yourself. This lady is a good lady. This is her last statement and they will be under the rader. The business will go on and mentors will et value for their money.
Femi is a despicable friend. You don't kick a friend when he is down. In every sphere of human relationship, there is an acceptable codenof conduct.

Oh well 🤷‍♂️

Within the home, leadership is gendered. A man must govern the house irrespectiveof who earns more. The problem with this generation is that we are money obsessed but money is not the value on which a home a built. Money is for bills and comfort.
Family values is the most important value in building a home. There is no personal income in marriage irrespectiveof who earns more. All income are family income and should be expended in the best interest of the home.
As a man, you have to govern your home financially, spiritually, emotionally, making decisions in the best interest of family, sacrificing yourself for the benefit of wife and kids, loving and treating your wife right, raising Godly children on your personal and spiritual values

1. Undying love exist to the extent you are willing to love your partner. Love isna verb not a noun. It is what ypu do, not how you feel. You chose your partner and pledge to love them and do right by them - that itself is sufficient unto the day of rapture.
The fire don't go out unless you let it. It is your responsibility to intentionally fan it daily and regularly so it doesn't go out. You don't leave the fore to itself and wait to see how itbgoes. It will die. Relationship is hardwork even on the best days.
Like T.D Jakes said, "you have to go to your partner when you are in love. You have to go to them when younare not in love until you are in love."

I've said lot if times that "falling in love" is just emotional attachment. Whether or not that feeling is there, love your partner
