Adaora Favour Nwankwo Re-poster

Something occurred just a few minutes ago that truly broke me.

I pulled into the fuel station to fill up, and because there was a man ahead of me, I stepped out of my car and waited for him to make his purchase.

I stood directly opposite this gentleman, who appeared visibly troubled, and I watched him hand the forecourt assistant 2k.

He brought out a gallon container and requested that she put 1k of fuel in the car and the other 1k of fuel in the gallon.

This man was driving a Lexus 300, so initially, this did not make sense to me. However, when I drove out of the fuel station, tears filled my eyes because I remembered the past (a story for another day).

When I saw him pull out the 2k, I debated whether I should offer to help or not. I hesitated because I wondered how his wife would feel, seeing as she was sitting in the car with their child.

Thinking about it now, I feel terrible. I cannot explain if he was in a difficult situation or if my brain is playing tricks on me, but I feel deeply sad.

I really wish I had offered to help, even if that help had been rejected.

Men are going through a lot in this country.

Please be kind to your spouse.

Be kind to the people around you.

Offer help when you can.

Most people are wearing a mask because they do not want to be mocked.

Just be kind.

Life is filled with "unknown unknowns."

No parent envisions birthing a child with a genetic condition.

No parent dreams of raising a child with an impairment.

No parent desires to have a child with a neurological condition.

All of these factors make parenting exceptionally difficult.

Similarly, no one dreams of getting married only to end the marriage.

No one dreams of becoming a widow or a widower.

Being divorced or widowed adds significant challenges to parenting.

I know that, as humans, we naturally desire answers to life's uncertainties.

This year, channel all your energy into yourself to develop the emotional and mental threshold necessary to embrace your unknown unknowns.

The unexpected can burst your bubble, shatter your fantasies, and tear down the foundations where your sense of worth hangs.

However, nothing external defines you.

Your role is not to question the unknown unknowns, but to sharpen your awareness so that you may understand and appreciate life.

Breathe, and be gracious to yourself when life's unknowns show up at your door.

Give no room to shame, guilt, or helplessness, for none of these define you.

Stop punishing yourself for what you cannot change.

Instead, pour into yourself to develop the emotional and mental capacity to embrace life's unknowns.

Relax, and take life one step at a time.

Meditate on this.

Day 11

Since many people are in this situation, let’s get right to it.

Dangote Flour Mill (DFM) shares were delisted following the takeover by Crown Flour Mills (Olam Group).

The good news is that your shares did not simply disappear. What occurred was a buy-out, not a loss of value.

• Shareholders and regulators reached an agreement to delist the company from the NGX.

• Minority shareholders were compensated with cash for their holdings.

• Anyone who has not yet claimed this money still has the funds waiting, likely with the registrar or trustee.

Essentially, your 1,000 shares were converted to cash whether you retrieved the funds or not. You cannot get the shares back.

Once a company is:

• Acquired

• Merged and delisted

The shares no longer exist. What you are entitled to receive is the cash equivalent that was paid for the DFM shares.

**Please do the following:**

📌 Contact **Crescent Registrars Limited**:

They are currently handling the shareholder records for DFM delisted shares.

**Address:** Olusoji Idowu Street, Ilupeju Lagos, Nigeria

**Call:** 📞 +234 1-453 867-14

Inform them that you held shares prior to the delisting; they will ask for your CSCS details or certificate details and advise you on the next steps.

📌 **Ensure you go with the following documents:**

* A valid ID card.
* Share certificate (if you held physical shares) or your CSCS account statement.
* Bank account details to receive payment.
* Certificate of indemnity (if your certificates are lost).
* Proof of ownership (such as a broker statement or purchase receipt).

**Note:** This process may be slow, but please follow it through to retrieve your funds.

See you on day 12

Cultivate the habit of randomly hugging your children, giving them a peck, and telling them "I love you" without needing a specific reason. On average, I hug and peck my kids at least 10 times daily. Furthermore, unless I am out of town, they hear "I love you" from me every day before bedtime.

These therapeutic actions facilitate bonding and create emotional synergy between you and your children. I have done this repeatedly since the day their father and I brought them home from the hospital.

Now, my kids randomly walk up to my workspace to hug and peck me for no reason. Just tonight, while I was preparing dinner for my first daughter, she randomly approached me for a hug and asked to peck me.

I smiled, realizing that what they watch you do repeatedly is exactly what they will duplicate when they begin to raise their own kids. Stop being stingy with affection or acting "macho" toward your children. One day, they will all be grown, and you will wish you had established that bond with them. It is either you parent the right way now, or wish you had later.

Imperfection is a burden we bear throughout our lives. No matter how intently you strive to do things correctly, errors are inevitable; if you do not falter today, you likely will tomorrow. It seems the world is designed in such a way that nothing within it remains truly flawless.

Therefore, do not wait for your business plan to be perfect before you execute it. Stop expecting your partner to be flawless before you put effort into making your marriage or relationship fulfilling. Do not wait for your children to achieve perfection before you feel they are worthy of your guidance, and stop expecting your boss to be perfect before you decide to give your best effort.

We are destined to live with imperfect people in an imperfect world—raising imperfect children—for the rest of our days. "Perfection" simply does not exist in the human experience. However, once you embrace this reality, you will begin to extend grace to those around you, and just as importantly, to yourself.

Day 10

Here are the authoritative official channels to verify which stocks face potential delisting on the Nigerian Exchange (NGX).

**1. NGX Official Website – Corporate Disclosure Page**

This section provides critical updates including regulatory announcements, trading suspensions, delisting notices, and compliance matters. It also details enforcement actions and information regarding schemes of arrangement (for example, companies facing notices of suspension or delisting).

**Link:** https://t.co/bUIfkZq8Yo

**2. NGX Delisted Companies List**

To view companies that have already been removed from the exchange, consult this specific page. It displays the date the stock was delisted and the rationale behind the action (whether Regulatory or Voluntary).

*Note:* This resource tracks only completed delistings and does not display pending cases.

**Link:** https://t.co/bUIfkZq8Yo exchange /data/delisted companies

**3. NGX Release Calendar / Notices of Issuers**

This page features the Release Calendar, which includes scheduled market announcements from the NGX. It also frequently lists company notifications regarding compliance issues, trading suspensions, and other regulatory developments that often lead to delisting.

**4. SEC Nigeria Announcements**

The Securities and Exchange Commission often publishes corporate actions filed by listed companies. These include schemes of arrangement, takeovers, and notices regarding the discontinuation of listing compliance.

For early indicators, it is advisable to monitor the SEC Nigeria website under the "Corporate actions/Announcements" section.

**5. NGX Daily Official List**

Located within the NGX "Market data" section (typically available as a PDF), the daily official list displays all securities currently available for trading. If a stock is marked as suspended or disappears from this list entirely, it is a strong indication that delisting is around the corner.

See you on Day 11.

When you reach a certain level of maturity, you no longer rely on motivation. Discipline becomes your sole focus.

When you reach a certain age, you no longer need motivation.

Discipline is your only point of call.

This brother walked up to me at the gym sometime last November and asked that we sit out together over a drink.

I politely said “No” with a smile on my face.

In December, he tried again… I like his determination.

I still said “No.”

In two years of actively using the gym, I have never been familiar with any man.

We vibe, laugh, and gist only during the workout, and it ends inside the gym.

Does that mean they are bad people? No.

Does that mean I am too special? No.

I am just not interested in anything beyond the gym.

My brothers and sisters, I met this uncle at the reception this morning for the first time this year.

He actually came to renew his subscription.

Immediately I walked in and saw him, I smiled at him, greeted him, and said, “Happy New Year.”

To my utmost dismay, Uncle looked at me and completely ignored my greetings.

I carried my two chewing stick legs and went inside to start my workout.

True true, wetin that brother do dey good?

Day 9

Just as crypto exchanges remove specific tokens or coins, stocks are also subject to being delisted.

It is your responsibility to verify whether a stock has been placed on the NGX delisting watch list. Typically, the warning signs become apparent 6 months or 1 year before the actual delisting occurs.

A company’s stock risks being delisted under the following conditions:

* It fails to publish its audited accounts.
* It repeatedly misses annual or quarterly filings.
* The share price remains excessively low for an extended period with no indication of recovery.
* Liabilities exceed assets.
* The company becomes technically insolvent.
* There is no functioning board in place.
* There are unresolved fraud cases or regulatory sanctions.
* There is a breach of free-float requirements.
* The company ignores NGX directives or fails to hold AGMs.

The financial market is not a space to enter without adequate knowledge. If you neglect the basics, you will pay for it with cold cash.

Stop trying to get liked. Stop trying to get validated.

I tell people I am not a nice person, and I say it consciously. I don’t ever try to be liked.

In fact, if you are very close to me and say, “Adaora is a nice person,” I will interrupt you and say, “I am not.”

When you try to be liked, you try to become nice. You compromise principles and slip up when you shouldn’t. You say “Yes” when you should say “No,” and you say “No” when you should say “Yes.”

Try to be respected—that is all.

And if people choose to disrespect you, weed them out of your space; it simply means they are not in your “tribe.”

What I owe my world is “Value,” not “Niceness.”

Significant drama is unfolding in Rivers State as Wike challenges the stance of President Tinubu and the APC National leadership. He has reportedly instructed Rivers State lawmakers to impeach the sitting Governor Fubara.

May the Lord confound their language so that they are unable to understand one another.

To our stakeholders in the oil sector, the situation is developing and ready for your attention. Come and witness the defense of these shameless individuals.

You get the point now?

Let’s engage in a brief thought experiment.

Imagine you have a 16-year-old daughter who has just given birth out of wedlock. At that age, it is clear that her education may face setbacks. Now, suppose she says to you: “I’ve closed the chapter on school. I want to be fully available to raise my child.”

What would you advise? Would you encourage her to return to school and continue building her future, or would you affirm her decision to put her entire life on pause in the name of parenting?

This reflection isn’t really about a teenager; it is about us. One of the greatest legacies a parent can leave a child is this principle: “Never abandon yourself while raising another human.”

Do not sacrifice your education, healing, ambition, identity, or growth for parenting. Furthermore, do not sacrifice your emotional and mental health. You are the foundation of your child’s world, and when the foundation cracks, the structure eventually feels the instability.

Years from now, your child will not wish you disappeared into sacrifice. They will wish you chose growth. They will wish you took that risk. They will wish you left what was abusive, limiting, or loveless, and that you invested in becoming whole.

If you truly love your child, give yourself permission to shine. Your dreams are valid, and it is not too late. Pursue your education, build your career, and explore your gifts and passions.
