“I want to get on with my life. I’m trying to move forwards and regain a sense of responsibility and purpose. The job is keeping me busy and occupied; it’s not a new long-term career.”, reports The Sun

Say no to drugs

He didn’t toast you. You toasted yourself. Now you’re crying, “Men are scum”?

Let’s talk, sister to sister.

You just got into school—a fresher, shining like hot jollof rice.

You don’t even know the full name of your HOD. You’re still asking people, “Please, where is LT 3?”

But just because one cute guy with a nice wristwatch mistakenly said “hi,” your heart started beating like a Beyoncé track.

You immediately started calculating the colours of your bridesmaids’ dresses.

Let’s replay the scene:

You saw him during orientation. He didn’t even notice you. But you made sure to walk past him twice.

The second time, you smiled.

Did he ask for your name?
Did he say “hello”?

No.

But guess who went to meet him after fellowship like she was sent on a divine mission?

“Hi, I’m Favour. Department of Medicine.”

Madam… nobody asked you.

You dropped your full CV like you were applying for a wife position.

Now you’re already following him on Instagram, liking 14 of his posts back-to-back like an unpaid data analyst.

Then he gives you small attention and boom—you can’t sleep. You can’t eat. Your journal now reads:
“Dear Holy Spirit, I think he’s the one…”

My sister, let’s be honest.

You know you’re emotional. You know your heart is soft.
You know once you start liking someone, your brain enters flight mode.

Your assignment will be in front of you, but all you can see is his smile.

Now let’s say tomorrow he starts acting funny.
He starts ghosting you.
Next thing, you run to WhatsApp and post:
“All men are the same.”

But hold on a minute...

Did he ever approach you?
Did he tell you he was looking for a wife?
Or did you rush yourself into unnecessary heartbreak because you couldn’t sit with your emotions and focus on your goals?

Let me be real with you:

Not every fine boy is your future.
Some are just distractions in fine packaging.

You came to school to study, grow, and evolve—not to turn into Romeo’s personal assistant.

This is your training ground. You’re supposed to be building discipline, character, and vision.

If you don’t learn emotional stability now, you’ll end up crying your way through every season of your life.

Because guess what?

There’ll always be a fine guy.
But not every fine guy is aligned with your purpose.

So, please—stop using your own hand to press heartbreak into your life.

Nobody broke your heart—you broke your focus.
Nobody ghosted you—you ghosted your sense.

Pursue purpose.
Build genuine friendships—not obsessions.
Control your emotions before your emotions control your destiny.

And next time your heart starts dancing just because someone greeted you?

Drink cold water.
Open your books.
And whisper to yourself:

Not today, Satan. I have exams.

“I was over half a Billion in Debt... But I still had to smile for the camera. I Never Told Anyone” - Comedian Mr Macaroni

“I never bring my personal issues to social media. I only wish to share this because I want people to learn from my experience.
Between 2021 and 2022, I lost everything I had saved to a scam. I borrowed from different sources just to fulfill commitments.
Still, I showed up for others, even when I was empty. Because that’s who I am.

2024 was a turning point for my Acting career. Two of the films I featured in were screened at international festivals.. my performances in some other films also earned me numerous commendations. However, It was also the most troubling year for me. I was burdened every single day and night knowing that I was over half a billion in debt.

Then came betrayal—sharp and unexpected—from someone I loved like a sister.
That pain nearly broke me more than the debt ever could.

But you see, I’m a warrior! I have never backed down from a fight. When I fall, I bounce back even stronger by God’s grace and I keep my head up. So I gathered myself, and made some very tough decisions and with the help of family and friends who have stood by me, I feel better than I have felt in the last 3 years!

So this message is for anyone in a dark place right now:
Don’t give up.
People may betray you. You may fall. You may even lose everything.
But as long as you have breath, you have purpose.
Fall if you must. It’s okay to make mistakes and learn from them. What is not okay is to keep repeating the same mistakes. Let love win in your heart—no matter how loud the hate becomes in the world."
— Comedian Mr Macaroni

Marriage is business for many vvomen, Sabinus fvcked up sending her abroad but how about you reading this? Will you learn from his mistake or wait to do the same mistake Sabinus did?

Men, use your brains. Stop sending or bringing vvomen abroad, let her stay in Nigeria and manage business for you or something else of her own; stop this fooollishness of sending vvomen abroad.

If she so much wants to relocate abroad divorrce her, let her sell off her father's properties and relocate abroad herself. Stop giving up yourselves for these gold diggers that are looking for a way to escape poovaty at all cost.

My advice to Sabinus is, focus on your life and make more money, so far your preeq is still working. Make more babies and forget about her.

I have been in your shoe and I know exactly how it's like, mine was worse at some point she used knife to attack me. Just forget about the beeech and focus on your life, take your health serious and never derail from your purpose.

Most importantly, ask her to bring back your child if she refuses forget her existence and never send a dime because if she denies you access to your child she has no grounds to demand for any support; send her no dime and stop calling her.

Man up, erase her number and focus on your life.

Take my advice or you will kpái on the process of dragging custody of a child with a vvoman because vvomen feed on pity and if you descend that low she will win you; she will enjoy seeing you in agony, It's not worth it my brother.

"The clips cut from my episode on that show for promotional purposes were designed to attract trolls, and my brand was subjected to all sorts of dragging. While this was happening, Nedu, who was in my WhatsApp messages, asked me out. Even people flooded my son’s social media page cursing and swearing at him. The best time to kick a man is certainly not when he is down. I have forgiven him and genuinely wish him nothing but the best." - Actress Yvonne Jegede opens up about her experience following her interview on the Honest Bunch Podcast with Nedu.
