Lives change. The resilient adapt, even thrive. But it takes conscientious effort and determination.
Meet Paul Ellis.
He’s a father of two who was left with paralysed legs after a fall in 1992.
A further break to his leg in 2008 resulted in a double amputation.
In 2021, he crawled up the UK’s highest mountain (4,411 feet).
I can’t even be bothered most times to use train station stairs. I’ll do anything to use the Elevator.
Most of you can’t even walk a few distance
But Paul Ellis crawled up a mountain to raise money for charity.
The point of this isn’t to make you feel bad about your current level of physical activity.
You don’t need a specific Plan B in life.
But, like Paul Ellis, you do need to be open to creating one if life changes.
With any luck, the vision you have for your life will come true. But if it doesn’t, be willing to find an alternate path to take you where you want to go.
Good morning everyone, happy weekend and have a fantastic day

I bring you greetings garnished with stern warning.
If you do not wake up to protect your economic capital for the sake of politics, in no distant time, you’ll regret your decision today.
@officialABAT’s political involvement is destroying and will continue to destroy Lagos State.
Don’t take my words for it. Look at history, data and the evidence.
The reason why London still strives as one of the economic hubs of the
world, is because there’s no discrimination based on ethnicity.
Let me tell you guys a story.
Within my very short time on earth, I’ve had crazy real life experiences and have done some deep researches to link how things are the way they are in real life.
In 1986, Hofmann and her then boyfriend Marco made a trip to Kenya. There, she met a Samburu warrior named Lketinga Leparmorijo and instantly found him irresistible.
She left Marco, went back to Switzerland, sold her possessions
In 1987, she returned to Kenya, determined to find Lketinga, which she eventually did.
The couple moved in together, married, and had a daughter.
The Samburu are a pastoralist people related to the Maasai, and live in small villages in an arid area of central Kenya.
Hofmann moved into her mother-in-law's manyatta (compound) and learned to live as a Samburu woman, fetching wood and water.
She later opened a small shop in the village, to sell basic goods.
He was captured in 1941 by the Germans. As a prisoner, he aroused the curiosity of the German soldiers thanks to the tapestries he made to pass the time, so much so that they asked him to make one for them.
Casdagli took the opportunity to include a secret message in the tapestry using Morse code.
If you look at the dots and stripes that are on the edges. The message is direct “F**k Hitler’ in Morse code
But of course, the German soldiers didn't know that, worst of all, they liked it so much that they hung it in several places for everyone to see.
However some have suggested that given that Morse code has been around since the early 1800s
It’s Friday 26th May 2023, a perfect time to look deeply into the French Revolution and what Nigerians can learn from it.
A thread >>>
Let’s start with the financial crisis France was facing.
France was actually a very wealthy and powerful nation in the late 18th century,
but the French Crown (aka the Government) was in serious debt (sound familiar?).
France suffered a series of famines in 1788 and 1789 that resulted in bread riots across the nation (sound familiar?)
There was then the spread of the Enlightenment that bred ideas such as
separation of powers and freedom of speech and press (what say ye?)
Above all, the relationship between France's Three Estates and the Government. The first two Estates, the Clergy and the Nobility, were less than 5% of the population,
