Dear Nairalander,

Here comes a soft reminder. Something you should put at the front of your mind as the new year gradually unfolds.

People's opinion of you, is none of your business, nor should you make it your business.

Whether they're wrong or right, what difference does it make?

Leave those who talk down about you, behind you for you're ahead of them.

Resist the urge to "shalaye", as the Yorubas will say.

Don't put on a mask because you want to fit in and be like others.

Be yourself and keep being yourself.

Let them see you for who you really are, for this will attract to you, the right set of people.

Be yourself but be your best self!

Let who you are today, be better than who you were, yesterday.

Keep growing!

Lead The Movement!
