Fun and Games

Grown men have been turned into babies.

This is going to upset some men.

But imagine where you would be if you had spent the last 2,000 hours building your real character instead of your virtual one.

That promotion you say you're underpaid without?

You could have spent those evenings developing the skills to get it.

That body you wish you had?

You could have built it.

Your wife saying she feels overwhelmed?

Maybe instead of another four-hour gaming session, you could clean the house, take something off her shoulders, sit beside her and actually be present with the woman Allah entrusted to you.

Don't have a wife yet?

Then what exactly are you preparing for?

Learn to provide. Train your body. Learn to cook. Build your career. Learn your deen. Study the Qur'an. Learn how to communicate with a woman. Spend time with your parents. Serve your community. Learn enough about Islam to give dawah beautifully.

There are Muslim men saying, “I don't have time” while their Steam account has enough hours to qualify as a second career.

Brother, you had time.

You spent it chasing pixels and dopamine.

And before somebody gets emotional: no, playing a game occasionally isn't the downfall of civilization. Rest and recreation have their place.

I'm talking about the grown man whose real life is underdeveloped because his virtual life isn't.

Personally, I want something different.

I want my future wife to look at the man beside her and see where my time went.

Into a career that provides for her.

Into a body strong enough to protect her.

Into knowledge that benefits our home.

Into deen that brings us closer to Allah.

Into becoming emotionally mature enough that when she's struggling, I don't escape into a screen. I sit beside her.

And when we have children one day, I don't want them remembering Dad as the back of a gaming chair.

I want them remembering that I was there.

A controller can give you another achievement.

I'd rather build a life where my wife looks at me with peace in her eyes, my children run toward me when I walk through the door, my parents are proud of the man I became, and Allah is pleased with what I did with my time.

That sounds like a much better game to win.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Or at least it does if you throw it hard enough.👀😌🙃

My boss told me to have a good day. So I went home.😌🙃😌

I work from home and still managed to get fired for showing up late. My bed is just too far from the desk.😒😒😌

Let's play "Flag it!" 🚩

How to play:
Comment a specific habit, preference, or situation below (e.g., "Puts ketchup on maggie" or "Remembers how you take your chai").

The next person replies with either a red flag or a green flag!

I will start: When someone automatically takes care of something for me without being asked. That's a biggest green flag for me, wby?

Nigerians Group on this app, una dey alright? 😂

I brought one of the hottest investment gist in Nigeria to this group and everywhere was giving dry. 😭

No comments. No arguments. No “I’m buying.” No “Don’t buy o!”
Nothing. 😂

Anyway, let me bring it again because maybe I didn't package it properly the first time.

Dangote Refinery IPO. ₦525 per share. Minimum: 10 shares = ₦5,250. to own a small piece of the rifinery

Now let's play a little game. 🤓

You wake up on IPO day and you have ₦100k available specifically for this. What are you doing?
🅰️ ₦5,250 only: “Abeg, make I buy 10 first. Make I see front.” 😂

🅱️ ₦20k–₦50k: “I believe in this thing, but I still get sense.” 😂

🅲️ All ₦100k: “In 10 years, you people will call me a visionary.” 😭

🅳️ Call somebody: “Omo, abeg check this investment for me before I embarrass myself.” 😂

🅴️ No investment: “Abeg, make I use my money take drink garri /eat Shawarma first, make I dey save my life” 😭😭

🅵️ You already have millions: “Move aside, small boys/girls. I came to invest.” 😂

And please, investors, don't just tell us what you'll buy. Tell us WHY.

Are you looking at the company itself, the long-term potential, the expected listing price, or you're simply thinking “Na Dangote, abeg.” 😂

Let's see what Nigeria is really doing with this IPO. 👇🏽

Has Dream Girl been re-released in theatres or something?

Just asking. 😂

Because the kind of messages I’ve been getting from guys lately—

“Hi, how are you?”
“Hii 👀”

Bro… MATLAB KUCH BHI? 😭

At least look at the user interface before sending a message.
The app is literally showing you who you’re texting. 💀

And bro, one humble request—

“Bro, maybe watch a little fewer Ayushmann Khurrana movies.” 😄

Hey there, who's interested by talking

I’m looking for a serious relationship 🥰💕
