“A family in the Middle East booked me for millions, only for 3 people to show up. The daughter made me perform ‘Lonely’ for 2 hours while laughing. That’s when I realized I was just a jester to them.”
— Akon
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The post is in quotes as if it is a direct quote from Akon but it is not. In the video, he says he was booked for one million, not millions. He said he played the song for one hour, not two. He never said he was being treated like a jester.

“THE PHONES NO LONGER RING”
-Yusuf Buhari, son of Late Nigeria’s President explains what life has become after he left the corridors of Power
“After Goodluck Jonathan made that call to my dad to congratulate him on his victory as Nigeria’s next President.
I used to receive up to 2,000 calls a day from different people. The calls would start coming in as early as 4 a.m. — from old classmates, acquaintances, extended family relatives, former maids, and servants who had once worked for the Buhari family at some point.
There were also callers with bogus, untraceable explanations, but my assistant would simply come up with polite excuses to end those conversations quickly!
But the moment my dad left power and handed the baton to His Excellency Bola Tinubu, the calls dropped dramatically to about 100 a day.
After my dad was buried, they reduced even further to around 20 daily — usually just from siblings and business associates.
The phones no longer ring. Nobody truly cares…”

Set a goal; tell no one.
Your next move, tell no one.
Run a business, tell no one.
Invest in crypto, tell no one.
Buy a home, tell no one.
A man's best weapon is silent money.
When you win, shut up.
You don't need to impress anyone.

Anyone who claims that their political party does no wrong and the other party does no right is either a liar, a fool or both.

For weeks; I’ve been getting calls from brands I work with, colleagues, friends & family about this rubbish and you know what makes it worse? You social media commentators, internet police, even people I used to think I’m cool with.. scrambling for the tiniest bit of clout and relevance, cluelessly jumping on anything not bothered if it’s someone’s life or career on the line; it might be yours tomorrow.

The older I get the more I realize my husband was right about everything.
I hope more women understand the importance of having a strong man by their sides that doesn’t take their nonsense.
Women tend to think that men blow things out of proportion, but later down the road we realize those small things add up to big things and they creep up like a disease
Men are built to protect.
They know how to prevent big and small problems. I pray more women understand this before it's too late.
