<p>This famous Nigerian saying "Adulthood Na Scam" should better be stopped. </p><p>I'm barely an adult and this very saying has clouded my judgment in taking on responsibilities. </p><p>But come to think of it, is it really a scam? </p><p>I am about to move to a new era where I don't need Mom and Dad, as they say. </p><p>Where I have to take responsibility for actions, they say. </p><p><br/></p><p>Where I have to wake up to bills, meet deadlines, and make decisions that shape my path.</p><p>Where mistakes aren’t just corrected with a pat on the back,</p><p>But with consequences that sometimes sting deeper than words can describe.</p><p>No one said freedom came with its own weight,</p><p>Or that dreams, too, have price tags hidden in small print.</p><p><br/></p><p>But maybe.... just maybe adulthood isn’t a scam after all.</p><p>Maybe it’s a test of strength, </p><p>A call to rise above comfort.</p><p>A call to come out of our shell</p><p>Maybe it’s an era where I have to define myself without words from "Grey-headed" individuals behind the curtains </p><p>So, no adulthood isn’t a scam,</p><p>It’s the reality check life gives you when you’re finally ready to live on your own terms.</p><p><br/></p><p>Well this is only based on my own perspective as I walk in this new era, it wouldn't hurt to hear yours. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
At the end of each month, we give out cash prizes to 5 people with the best insights in the past month
as well as coupon points to 15 people who didn't make the top 5, but shared high-quality content.
The winners are NOT picked from the leaderboards/rankings, we choose winners based on the quality, originality
and insightfulness of their content.
Here are a few other things to know
1
Quality over Quantity — You stand a higher chance of winning by publishing a few really good insights across the entire month,
rather than a lot of low-quality, spammy posts.
2
Share original, authentic, and engaging content that clearly reflects your voice, thoughts, and opinions.
3
Avoid using AI to generate content—use it instead to correct grammar, improve flow, enhance structure, and boost clarity.
4
Explore audio content—high-quality audio insights can significantly boost your chances of standing out.
5
Use eye-catching cover images—if your content doesn't attract attention, it's less likely to be read or engaged with.
6
Share your content in your social circles to build engagement around it.
