Yesterday, I was going through Facebook when I stumbled on a shared post from Pericoma. The post was warning young people to stay away from ritual charms: Okeite, Uduakommiri, etc. It was my first time to ever hear about these.
A thread 🧵
Dear young person reading this, there's a reason why there is a process for everything. Even God didn't create everything on the same day. There's a reason you're born, pass through experiences and grow old. There's always a process.
Hardwork pays! Smart work pays! And prayer works! Adventures and experiences have to shape you, that's the essence of life. Don't be deceived by all the excessive show/flaunting of wealth and material things on social media.
Don't ever feel you're not meeting up. Most times it's fake. You're where you're meant to be at each phase of your life. material things are not real... can't you see that?! New ones/models come out Everytime!
Now, to young girls like me, please be contented, you mustn't own everything and anything because everyone is buying it or that's what girls on Instagram are putting on now. Be contented, you cannot afford it now and that's totally okay
GLK Benz no dey finish, the girls you're impressing don't care about you, the online people you're "peppering" won't save you if you have problems. They won't assist you pay the loans you borrowed to enhance your body or travel to wherever to just take pictures for the gram
Remember that Peugeot car supposedly rich people had back in the day? Take Blackberry for example and remember the craze for BOLD & BOLD5? Remember when iPhone 6 or 8 was the best phone?
I now remembered sometime last year when I was in a lounge and some young boys and girls of about 18-23 came in. You need to see the extravagance: they paid for everyone in the bar and even started spraying money. See people scampering to pick money from the floor; waiters Too
Going through the comments section, I learnt it costs 3m and in 2months or less multiplies to so much more. Someone even said it was worse than Mkpulummiri that is destroying youths... Then I got it: the Get-Rich-Quick Syndrome.
