Acceptance

It's not always the case that an individual decide to accept whatever is given to him/her. I guess i am one in billions of people who struggled to accept the type of body God gifted me with. Because i am fat i kept telling myself that i didn't deserve to be loved nor accepted by the society,the society never believe in me because of how portrait myself and i don't blame them. In a nutshell after some time i learnt how to to love and accept Me.

From being nothing to being Somebody

To be honest i never thought I'd be a somebody today because of how life dribbled me. From being a teenage mom to being a Marketing Management N6 Holder,it was tough but i made it. I made it to the top because i had support coming from all sides excluding my baby daddy. So whenever i see a teenager pregnant i cry because i am not condoning that at all,i wish them to be in control because i was never in control.. and unlucky for others they never get the support they need and end up…

Anything is possible

I made history in my community, my under 11 boys won the league and won the big tournament league called "Dark or Blue".

Never in their mind this acccur to them as male coaches.

Even if they don't give me an award but I know I deserve it and I'm awarding myself.

Always do your best, whether people are watching or not.

Never be intimidated by the success of other people,the fact that you're "here" doesn't mean you can't be "there" the only difference between "here and there" is T which stands for time. Be patient and keep on improving yourself❤️.

Do what you love and prioritize yourself

Life is too short, do what you love and priorities yourself. Y’all sometimes become too responsible and forget about you. They will still have life without you. You deserve to enjoy life. Love yourself ❤️.

Yesterday I was reminded that in life you get what you give and life is your journey. It's your road & yours alone. Others can walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you

We must speak up about male domestic abuse

It's difficult to talk about domestic abuse whether you're a woman or a man because the person you’re talking about is someone that you still deeply love. Especially for a man, things tend to be joked about ‘Oh you’re under the thumb mate’ or ‘She’s got you where she wants you. Domestic abuse against men isn’t often talked about and whilst there are fewer reported…
