"RAISING YOUR CHILDREN INTENTIONALLY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM"

"I have lived in the UK long enough to give informed advice on how to raise children. I have seen them in church, in society and in the criminal justice system as a lawyer. I have raised three adult children in the system. I have seen my dear wife work with children for the last 30 years and she ended up with a degree in Early Childhood Studies. 

Raise your children well from their early years. There will not be a magical transformation in their growth. There will hardly be a sudden transformation in their development. Whatever you don’t like in their life, you should change as a responsible parent. Children will become a bigger picture of who they currently are. Be particular about their choice of friends. Pay attention to their characters and attitude. Discourage laziness. Instil confidence in them. Tell them they are not inferior. I tell my children and church members regularly. 

If you cannot control their association because of the environment that you live in, please change accommodation. Change schools if they keep getting in trouble or you are seeing dangerous traits. We had to move from a particular borough when we saw some bad characters around. One of the boys then had 5 children by the age of 23 and he was not working. 

My GP of 32 years is an Asian. He is like a father to me. When my children were very young, he said if I have two houses, I should sell one to put them in private schools to penetrate this society. He said alternatively, I should do everything to get them into grammar schools. I did not understand him then but I do now. 

Whilst many African children are becoming TikTok and Instagram nuisances, the Asians are raising their children well, pushing them into private schools, grammar schools and top universities. They are also not letting go of their culture. Their children understand and speak their language. It is my fellow Nigerians that even their children living in Nigeria do not understand their language. We love everything foreign. Sophisticated madness!

Most Asian children in the UK become ‘lawyers, accountants, doctors’ etc before their graduation. How? They work in settings either founded by their parents or relatives whilst still studying. Africans should start setting things up rather than letting our children get work experience in casinos, Tesco or Lidl. Most of their children come out of university with good grades and no debt. Some African children come out with poor grades as they had to work whilst studying to foot some bills. They come out of university with debts they pay for years. 

Finally, get involved in your children’s choices of career. Advise them. Counsel them. Don’t make an irresponsible statement that as long as they enjoy it. What they enjoy may not benefit them and can make them ‘slaves’ in the UK system for years. I see a lot of depressed young black people who were frustrated by the system being led by those they were far better than. 

They give them jobs and pay them salaries. They systematically abuse them, suppress them and psychologically make them believe they are second-class citizens. Eventually, they get rid of them or they resign out of frustration..."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"People aren't afraid of the Wrath of God anymore, because, 'Preachers' are out there telling people that God loves them unconditionally."-R.C. Sproul.

"Demystify your bank. The people there are not more intelligent than you. Stop entrusting them with your money and start using your money to compete with them. What are they doing with your money? Most banks invest your money in the S&P 500, or other mutual funds, like the Russel 2000, and the Wiltshire 5000. What is stopping you from doing the same? It is your money that makes banks rich. You, too, start using it to make yourself rich. Turn to a ghost, then return at your most! Avoid people, situations and places that make you spend unnecessarily. That is the only way you can save enough money to invest. If not, you will not acquire enough remuneration to change your location. If location does not affect your manifestation, God would not have asked Abram to leave his father's house. The reason you are not successful may be because you are too comfortable in your father's house. Relocate to where God can allocate your success mandate."-Reno Omokri's post on X-platform (2024).

"People Who Lack Meaning in Their Retirement Years Usually Have These 9 Daily Habits"

"Retirement should be about relaxation and fulfillment, but for some, it’s a time of restlessness and discontent.

The root cause often lies in our daily habits. 

Certain routines can leave us feeling empty, especially during the golden years.

Let’s talk about the nine daily habits often found in people who lack satisfaction in their retirement years.

1) Waking up without a plan

Retirement ushers in a lot of free time. While this might sound like a dream come true, it can become a nightmare for those who haven’t figured out how to fill those hours.

The retirees who often find themselves feeling aimless usually start their day without a clear plan. 

Having a plan doesn’t necessarily mean being busy every moment of the day – it’s about having a sense of purpose.

Change starts first thing in the morning. 

Waking up with an idea of what you want to accomplish during the day can help instill a sense of purpose and direction.

2) Maintaining a sedentary lifestyle

My uncle, for example, was an active man throughout his working years. But once he retired, he started spending most of his time in front of the television. His daily routine involved minimal movement and physical activity.

Over time, he started to appear less energetic and more dispirited. He seemed to lose the spark that once defined him.

From my observations, I realized that lack of physical activity can lead to both physical and mental health issues. It’s so easy to fall into a routine of inactivity, but it’s crucial to keep moving, especially during retirement.

Physical activities don’t have to be strenuous or complicated. 

Something as simple as a daily walk around the neighborhood or gardening can make a significant difference.

3) Neglecting social interactions

We’re social creatures by nature, and retreating into isolation can lead to feelings of loneliness and depression.

Research from the University of Chicago has shown that loneliness can significantly increase the risk of premature death in people over 50.

Retirees often fall into a habit of minimizing their social interactions due to various circumstances such as mobility issues or the passing of friends.

Whether it’s joining a local club, volunteering, or even just catching up with friends over coffee, staying socially active is an essential part of leading a fulfilling retired life.

4) Living in the past

Some retirees find themselves stuck in a cycle of nostalgia, pining for their old routines or mourning their lost professional identity. This can lead to feelings of frustration and dissatisfaction.

Instead, it can be more beneficial to embrace the present and look forward to the future. Retirement is an opportunity to explore new hobbies, learn new skills, and create fresh memories.

5) Ignoring personal growth*/

Just because you’ve retired doesn’t mean you stop growing. Personal development is a lifelong journey, and retirement provides the perfect opportunity to focus on it.

They may feel that they’ve learned all they need to know, or they may simply lack the motivation to try new things.

Neglecting personal growth can lead to a stagnant life, devoid of challenges and excitement. Whether it’s learning a new language, picking up a musical instrument, or even starting a small business, there’s always something exciting and rewarding to learn.

6) Forgetting self-care

It’s easy to get caught up in routines or in taking care of others, but your own well-being is just as important.

Self-care is not just about physical health – it’s also about taking care of your emotional and mental health. 

This could be spending time doing things you love, treating yourself every now and then, or simply taking a moment each day to relax and breathe.

Ignoring self-care can lead to stress and burnout, even in retirement.

7) Skipping meals

Eating a balanced diet is key to maintaining good health, especially as we age. Yet, it’s surprisingly easy to slip into bad eating habits.

I remember a period in my life when I was dealing with some personal issues and found myself skipping meals frequently. It was almost as if I had lost my appetite for both food and life. Over time, this took a toll on my physical health and reflected on my emotional well-being too. It was only when I started paying attention to my eating habits that I began to feel better.

8) Avoiding new experiences

Suddenly, you have the time to explore those interests you’ve always put on the back burner.

However, some retirees resist new experiences. 

Sticking to what’s familiar may feel comfortable, but it can also lead to a lack of stimulation and excitement.

Avoiding new experiences can eventually make life seem monotonous and dull. Conversely, embracing novelty can bring about joy, discovery, and a renewed sense of vitality.

9) Neglecting mental health

Mental health is just as important as physical health, especially during retirement. 

Yet, it’s often neglected.

Ignoring signs of anxiety, depression, or loneliness can lead to severe mental health issues over time. It’s important to stay proactive about your mental well-being. This could involve maintaining a positive mindset, practicing mindfulness, seeking professional help when needed, or even simply talking to someone about your feelings.

Final thoughts: It’s about purpose

Whether it’s volunteering, learning a new skill, or simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle, having a sense of purpose can make all the difference in our golden years. Remember, retirement is not an end but rather a new beginning. It’s an opportunity to redefine who you are outside your professional identity. Embrace this stage of life with open arms and a clear vision. Create your own purpose and fill your days with things that bring you joy and fulfillment."-Lucas Graham.

"Be so involved in developing yourself that you have no time left for negative people or negativity:

•Learn a new word daily 

•Exercise regularly 

•Pray each morning at night 

•Grow your business 

•Play with your family 

Make this your lifestyle and success will automatically be your lifestyle.

And don’t just learn for learning’s sake. Learn so you can apply what you learn in your business and personal life.

"LET ME SHARE SOME SPIRITUAL SECRETS WITH YOU."

"Wake up daily and pray for your husband or your wife. 

It works and allows their ways to be smooth. There is nothing as powerful as the prayers of a praying spouse. Rather than fighting each other, pray for each other. 

Also, let your children pray for you from time to time. Kneel down, come to their level and you will know that they are little ‘g’ gods. 

These sinless little souls are loved by God and they are the future. God will not ignore their prayers. 

Rather than running from place to place, try this out and you will be glad you did. 

That is why you should not be living with your spouse as an enemy. You are each other’s prophet. 

It is well with you."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"No matter what you studied at university, also try to get a skill that does not require a certificate. If you depend on a certificate, it is easy to destroy you. You japa from Nigeria to Canada, and they do not recognise your certificate. So you have to start washing plates at restaurants and lying to people back home that you are a big boy. But if you learn a skill, like catering, fashion designing, millineries, trading, and event management, your skill is relevant in any country you relocate to with or without a certificate. Degrees limit you to a geographical location. Skills break down barriers and borders. Get degree. And get a skill.

"1. If you have heartburns, normalize sleeping on your left side regularly. This can be as effective as taking an antacid medication. 

2. Not having enough sleep every day can cause desire for sex, depression and addictions. Good sleep is therapeutic.

3. Don't fight over problems money can solve. Go and make the money first, then come back and solve the problem. Never feed your poverty.

4. Don't be afraid to drop what no longer serves your health and well-being including soda and sweetened juices.

5. Grow to the point where alcohol, processed sugars, and lack of workouts, make you feel terribly awful about yourself."-First Doctor's post on X-platform (2024).

"INTENDING STUDENTS: READ THIS BEFORE COMING TO THE UK"

"2023 was a terrible year for many international students who were deregistered by their universities, some died, some developed mental health issues and many marriages were destroyed. 

If you are planning to come to the UK to study, make sure you pay the majority of your school fees before leaving your home country. 

Paying a deposit of £2000 to £3000 out of £14000 is a joke. Hoping to work when you get here to pay the balance will give you depression or high blood pressure. It will also affect your academic performance. It can lead to premature death. 

Finally, the Home Office will be waiting for you at the end of your course to prevent you from getting the Graduate Visa or the Skilled Worker visa for overworking which is a breach of your visa conditions. 

Do not let the so-called agents mislead you. It is very, very tough here. If possible, borrow money in your home country to pay your school fees in full before coming here. It will be easier to pay them back once settled here than to pay the university here. 

Once the school fees are out of the way, it will be easier to survive here. 

A lot of foreign students have died here in the last two years. It was as a result of the unbelievable financial pressures, stress, accommodation and work issues. Don’t die prematurely. 

All the best guys."-Dele Olawanle's post on X-platform (2024).

"Just had to share…

A rattlesnake bit one of my sheep in the face about a week ago.  The deadliest snake that lives around.  The sheep's face was swollen and hurt like crazy, but the old rattle did not know the type of blood that runs in the sheep. 

The antidote is usually made from sheep's blood. The sheep was swollen for about 2 days but the blood of the lamb destroyed the serpent's venom.  I was worried, but the sheep didn't care. He kept eating, he kept drinking, and he kept walking because he knew he was fine.

Don't worry about the serpent or his bite, just be sure that the Lamb's Blood flows through your veins. (unknown author)"-Dave Smith's post on X-platform (2024).
