Hmmmm!
Three months to my wedding, I got a job far away from home. In fact, about 8 hours from home. Ogbomoso, Oyo State to Benin Edo State.
Well, the job pays more than what I currently had then. Actually 3× of the then salary.
If I stay in my current job, my then fiance turned wife now, monthly income is 3× mine and I have to man up.
The problem has never been my wife earning more than I did but rather closing the income gap between us. So I took the job
The job is a farm manager position in a remote village in Benin, Edo State. No network, no light, no road. So bad that if I have to communicate effectively with my fiance, without interruption, I will have to spend ₦1000 as transport fare to where there is good network. After the day work on farm that runs from 8am till 4pm.
Besides, almost all the guys there smoke indian hemp.
The first question I ask myself is; carrer-wise, did this make sense? How will I know of emerging trends in the market?
Two, is this the type of environment, I want to raise my children? A community of Indian hemp smokers and unkempt hairs?
Three, let’s say my fiance resigned from her job, what job have I secure for her or what money did I have to give her to start a business?
If I said my wife should be at home, and I will be visiting monthly, it still doesn’t make economic sense. Why? Because, I will have to travel on Friday evening, all things being equal, I should get home by 11pm. By Saturday, I will sure visit my friends and parents and by Sunday afternoon, I am on way back in order to resume on month. The transport fee will cost me about ₦10,000 to and fro .
I will have to drop home maintenance fee for my wife and will also eat at my workplace. After everything, what will be left will be ₦5000. Why this stress?
What sacrifices have you made in life?
After all these introspection, I discovered that the cons far outweigh the pros, a month to my wedding, I resigned and return to my former workplace which this saying in mind, let the worse that want to happen happened, God is on the throne.
Praise God, the bad did not happen talk less of the worst and I joined my wife and both of us combined our little resources together and live happily after.
Now, tell me what sacrifices have you made in your life?

Number one, there are people who are keeping the sexual purity ideal up in this 21st century. Don’t let sinners’ voice mislead you contrawise.
Number two, God’s commands is still No sex before Marriage and I am 100% saying this, you can’t regret ever keeping yourself till you are rightfully married.
Furthermore, start praying now. Don’t wait until you are about to settle down before praying about your future home.
Pray for your future spouse, kids, in-laws, friends, neighbours, anything and everything that have to do with marriage.
Fourthly, believe that Godly, lovely and enjoyable Marriage is very much around and you can have one.
Lastly, invest in Godly books, conferences, seminars to prepare yourself for the actual day.
Until then, keep enjoying your teenage with love.
I found this topic under the daily prompt and I have a nudge to answer it.
You see there is nothing that bored me more than seeing you in an unhappy, frustrating, direction-less, godless, and obviously joyless courtship.
Not to talk of an abusive, and loveless marriage.
That is why I am telling you like I always do and will do, Pray as if marriage is the only serious thing in your life and please judge the book by both its cover and content.
What he/she wears, says, go to, eat, believe (those things we can see) must match what he/she claim to be.
To you joyful courtship, cheereeeee!

A personal story quickly; during courtship, while we were discussing conflict resolutions, we agreed to demarcate how far our anger or reactions will go. One of those demarcations, is that no matter the gravity of our disagreement, family food must not be affected.
Staying aloof or alone, being angry is permitted, occasional malice can be done for some time but the family cook, must not say she is angry, she will not cook neither should the eater, which is definitely me, should not reject the food.
One, an healthy food promotes family well-being which drugs and some medication will not be able to, to an extent.
Remember an adage that says, ‘ Eat your food as you would eat your drug.’
Also Good foods can be avenue for the family to appreciate the goodness of the Lord over your affairs. After all, Deuteronomy 8:10 says, ‘when you have eaten and are satisfied, Praise The Lord your God for the good He has given you.
A hungry family can hardly praise the Lord.
Food also helps to create indelible family moments. Eating at the same time tells you, you are valued. Eating at the same table connotes that you are part of the family system. Eating from the family pot shows that unshakeable love binds us together.
Tell me, who wouldn’t want a bonded family?
Fourthly, Family food is a reenactment of Marriage of Lamb. Jesus at the end of age will gather all his family for an unparalleled feast of foods, fruits, and wines. By eating together now, we are simply rehearsing our future endeavors.
Furthermore, Good family delicacy also boosts the happiness of the family members, as this will in turn, eventually strengthen the cord of the family.
On addition, through quality food, we are confirming the covenant. Notice why there is always a state banquet after the signing of the treaty? Of course, it’s to reaffirm and establish the covenant.
Moreover, this boils down to how each family will combine and manage the different classes of foods and what each supplies to the body system.
The family can have a food time-table/meal plan consisting of all the classes of food according to their availability in their locality. This will save time and money.
Also the mother of the house should know how to prepare some sweet and healthy delicacies that will make the family to stay sane and mentally okay and there should be once-in-while eat-outs.
Lastly, we should allow the situation of this country to determine the intake of the food but as a family you can adjust your food time-table. Good food are not costly to made and they are easy to make.
Thanks for reading. Have a food day
It is day 21 already. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
As usual, remember to share, like and comment on this.
Now, if I had a million dollars to give away, I will first of all do massive investments into agriculture and education.
I hate hunger and ignorance.
Secondly I will look for a nice Christian program to sponsor. It could be Evangelism outreach, singles hangouts, prayer meetings, youth congress, couples’ dinners, etc.
Then lastly, I will wake up from my dreams and go to hospital to treat malaria. 😀😀😀
Thank you for attending my TEDx talk.
#dadkyles #OctoberChallenge
Welcome to my page and I love you for being here. Thanks for you the past 18 days and the remaining 12 days.
Today, I want to speak about principle that defines how I live my life as a human being, Nigerian, father, husband, employee, etc and I called it the Principle of Minus Me.
I have decided in my life that if anyone gonna have problem I won’t be part of his/her problem
My boss may have many problems but I won’t be his problem
My wife may have issue, but I won’t be the issue.
You may have problem, but I won’t be your problem or part of it.
If I can’t add to you, I will make sure I am not subtracting from you.
May God help me in Jesus name.
