MY SUGAR MUMMY Episode 5: A Shift in Focus Baby Mariam story “The girl couldn’t stop flirting with him.” “And why does that bother you so much?” Amaka asked pointedly. “Isn’t this the point of your plan? To get him ready for Ada? Or are you starting to have feelings for him yourself?” Nkechi froze, the question cutting deeper than she expected. She shook her head firmly. “Of course not. This is about Ada. I just need everything to go as planned.” But as she lay in bed that night, Nkechi couldn’t help but wonder if she was lying to herself. Meanwhile, Chidi found himself thinking about Ifeoma’s bright smile and engaging conversation. For the first time, his thoughts drifted away from Nkechi, adding yet another layer of complexity to an already tangled web The following week brought an unexpected change in Chidi’s demeanor. Nkechi noticed he seemed distracted during their usual interactions. He completed his tasks diligently but was less responsive to her jokes and casual conversations. Nkechi’s curiosity grew, and she decided to address it. “Chidi, is everything all right?” she asked one afternoon while they were organizing inventory in the boutique. Chidi hesitated before responding. “I’m fine, ma. Just a lot on my mind.” Nkechi frowned, sensing he wasn’t being entirely truthful. “Is it about work? Or…something else?” “It’s nothing serious,” Chidi replied, avoiding her gaze. Nkechi decided not to press further, but her unease lingered. Unbeknownst to Nkechi, Chidi had been in touch with Ifeoma. Their chance meeting at the boutique had sparked a connection, and they’d exchanged numbers. Ifeoma’s lively personality and genuine interest in his life had been a refreshing change for Chidi, who often felt overwhelmed by Nkechi’s intense presence. One evening, Ifeoma invited Chidi out for drinks. They met at a cozy bar, where their conversation flowed effortlessly. Chidi found himself laughing and opening up about his struggles and ambitions. Ifeoma listened attentively, her warmth putting him at ease. Back at home, Nkechi grew restless. She’d called Chidi earlier to discuss an upcoming event, but his phone had gone unanswered. She told herself it wasn’t a big deal, but a nagging feeling of insecurity crept in. What if Chidi was slipping away from her grasp? The next day, Nkechi’s suspicions were confirmed when she overheard Bola gossiping with another employee. “Chidi went out with Ifeoma last night. They looked so good together,” Bola said with a sly smile. Nkechi’s heart sank. She realized she was losing control of the situation. Her plan, which had seemed so foolproof, was now riddled with complications. Ada’s impending return, Ifeoma’s involvement, and Chidi’s shifting focus were creating a perfect storm. Determined to regain control, Nkechi decided to confront Chidi. That evening, she invited him to dinner at her home. As they sat down to eat, Nkechi leaned forward and said, “Chidi, I need to know where your priorities lie. Have you been distracted lately?” Chidi looked up, surprised by her directness. “Ma, I…I don’t understand.” “I mean, are you still focused on your work here? Or have other…interests taken precedence?” she asked, her tone sharper than she intended. Chidi’s expression hardened. “Ma, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, but I don’t think it’s fair to question my dedication. I’ve always given my best.” Nkechi nodded, masking her frustration. “I’m only looking out for you, Chidi. You have so much potential, and I don’t want you to lose sight of your goals.” As they continued their meal, an uneasy silence settled between them. Nkechi realized that her grip on the situation was slipping, and for the first time, she wondered if her plan would backfire. Meanwhile, Chidi’s thoughts drifted back to Ifeoma, whose laughter and kindness had brought him a sense of clarity he hadn’t felt in a long time. The tangled web of emotions was tightening, and the stakes were higher than ever... Continued.... @Everyone #Daloaders

“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” —Mark Twain #motivation #danloader

Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions

Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too. When you give joy to other people, you get more joy in return. You should give a good thought to the happiness that you can give out. It is only when we take chances that our lives improve. The initial and the most difficult risk we need to take is to become honest.

Listen up, men! Never tell a woman everything about your life, they can’t keep secrets. One of the most dangerous mistakes you can make is giving a woman—whether she’s your girlfriend, wife, or even just a close female friend—unrestricted access to every detail of your life. You might think she’s loyal, trustworthy, or even your safe space, but let me tell you this: women are not built to keep secrets. Whether it’s through careless gossip, emotional outbursts, or subtle leaks, the more you share, the more you expose yourself to betrayal, judgment, and destruction. Here’s the harsh truth: not everyone you think is in your corner truly is. Some women are in your life solely to gather ammunition for your enemies. They might smile to your face, play the supportive role, and even share your bed, but behind closed doors, they’re reporting your every move to those who want to see you fall. It could be her friends, her family, or worse—your rivals. And the worst betrayal often comes disguised as love. When you tell her every plan, every ambition, and every mistake, you hand her the keys to your downfall. She’ll have the information to shame you, undermine your decisions, or twist your vulnerabilities into weapons during arguments. You’ll hear your deepest insecurities thrown back at you when she’s angry, and those same words might find their way to people who are eager to see you fail. Privacy is not just about hiding—it’s about power. What people don’t know, they can’t ruin. When you stop sharing every detail of your life, you cut off the supply of gossip and drama that feeds manipulation and betrayal. You force her—and everyone else—to respect the boundaries you set. You leave no room for outsiders to exploit your moves, because your silence starves them of leverage. Not every woman is worthy of being called your partner. Some are masterful pretenders, playing the long game to serve their own agenda. These are the women who fake loyalty while secretly sowing seeds of chaos in your life. They’ll use your openness against you, either to control you, weaken you, or deliver you to your enemies. And don’t think for a second that your relationship status guarantees loyalty. The scariest enemy you’ll ever face is the one who calls you “my love” while silently plotting your demise. Be vigilant. Test loyalty through actions, not words. A woman who truly respects you will value your privacy and protect your interests without question. But even with a loyal partner, remember this: silence is your ultimate shield. Maintain mystery about your plans, finances, and strategies. Keep your ambitions and struggles guarded, revealing only what’s necessary. When you control the narrative, you control the power. In a world where betrayal often hides behind a smile, the smart man learns to trust his instincts, limit his disclosures, and walk in silence. Stay quiet. Stay sharp. And stay in control. Your privacy is your fortress—protect it at all costs.

He added, “We cannot afford to let personal ambitions or differences overshadow our shared vision for a better Nigeria. “Our governors are the bedrock of the PDP’s successes across states, and their synergy is vital for our collective progress. Let us prioritize dialogue, collaboration, and a sense of shared responsibility as we navigate these trying times

In his address, Wabara emphasized the need for unity and cooperation among party leaders. He noted that the party’s strength comes from its collective determination, not individual ambitions.
