, better follow your stomach and leave passion alone

Motivational quotes make no sense, and we’ll prove it. [View in browser](=.Y2Pn_WTbochZCewSlULoQPR-HmhrNtcixz1gnZxA4EY) [Zikoko Daily] 14 June, 2023 Hey . I hear some motivational quotes and marvel at the thought process of whoever created it. They clearly didn’t consider the Nigerian context because sorry to whoever wants to “follow their passion” in Nigeria. Did Dangote tell you he has passion for cement? Anyway, if you want to look for trouble this hot afternoon, just share today’s #TalkTrue episode in any typical Nigerian men’s WhatsApp group and watch them foam at the mouth.

Did I read right, or did she actually call herself a metaphysical mami, as in mami water? LMAO. It’s different o. She means the term of endearment, how Latin-Americans refer to young women. I think she used it because of the alliteration with “metaphysical”. Oh okay. I immediately assumed it was the Nigerian meaning. LOL. So, how did you find her for this story? We’ve been friends for about four years, and I know she practices alternative spirituality. Did you learn anything new about her during the interview? I learnt she sometimes feels what her clients feel at the readings. It made me curious because we've done a few readings, so I wanted to know if that happened with me too. Apparently, it did. When she explained it to me, it felt like I was back at that point in my life. Wow. It’s also interesting how her mum just seemed to accept it when she was younger. Had to read again to be sure it was a Nigerian mum. Yeah. Her family isn't the typical Nigerian family.
