The Justices

Jesus carried the cross, regardless of the pain.

Oh, the overwhelming and reckless love of the Father

Happy New Year, Fam

Don't wait to experience other people's bad experiences before learning.

Experience is the best teacher. It mustn't be your experience.

To every pregnant woman,

You will bring forth your baby and enjoy motherhood.
You will not belong to the order of women who labour without proof
You will carry your evidence and in good health.
Your testimony will be that of nothing missing and nothing broken. Amen

Have a great weekend.
Mrs Justice

I love how loud and unapologetic Ada Ujaligwa can be especially on the values she instills on her children.

Some of her principles don't sit well with some persons but she doesn't care.

Talk about an assertive mother😍... I looooveeeee

Mind you, some African parents living in Africa are unable to do this with the idea of raising soft children.

At the end, these children grow up and become a pain.

I'm not close to being there yet but I will always celebrate parents who are doing great things with their kids on this space.

Dear Parents,

Please teach your children boundaries.
Don’t leave everything to the school.

The holiday is here, and it’s going to last for over a month.

This is a great time to build a deeper level of influence over your kids.

Help them understand why certain rules and regulations exist.

Be intentional. Don’t be quick to send them off to their grandparents or aunties and uncles.

With love and sincere care,
Mrs Justice

Why Do We Struggle to Maintain What We Have?

There is a lot to scream about in my country, Nigeria (Maybe because this is where I have lived the biggest part of my life so far).

Something happened this morning in my compound and got me thinking about how badly we have lost some values. Even though it's your personal devices or appliances, the way you use them is a reflection of how you would treat things in a larger space.

Years ago, I visited Tinapa in Calabar, Cross River State. The place was mind-blowing. The facilities were world-class, and I remember how full my heart was just walking through them.
Maybe because I had never visited a tourist centre until that day. I was blown away by the facilities there.

But going back years later, it was heartbreaking. Tinapa had become a shadow of itself. So many facilities left to rot.

That’s what happens when we don’t take care of what we have.

Maintenance isn’t just about fixing things when they’re broken. It’s about valuing them enough to use them properly. It’s about responsibility, foresight, and care.

This lack of maintenance culture doesn’t just show in our public places. It reflects how we treat personal items, opportunities, and even relationships.

We can do better. Let’s stop consuming mindlessly and start preserving intentionally.

Certain things become luxury at certain seasons of life.

Just take a deep breath.

You'll be fine🥰

This happened quite recently...

I felt a bit overwhelmed. It wasn’t anything dramatic.
Just one of those days when your body and mind quietly ask for a moment to relax or take a break.

While I sat, letting out a few silent tears, my 3-year-old noticed. She quickly ran to me, her voice full of concern:

“Should I call my Dada to come?”
I smiled and said, “No baby, I’ll be fine.”

Then she added with even more urgency,
“Should I call your Mummy!”

That part made me smile deeply😄
"My mum had passed on o, Young woman😁", but the love behind her words—her instinct to help, stayed with me.
I was stunned at her sensitivity.
It was quite beautiful to see my toddler exhibiting situational awareness 🥰

----------------------------------

And here’s the quiet lesson that act of hers taught me:

Children are deeply situationally aware.

They may not always understand the details, but they feel the atmosphere.

They respond with care, initiative, and often a kind of wisdom that leaves us humbled.

She saw a need, and her first instinct was to bring comfort.

That’s love.
That’s empathy.
That’s emotional intelligence and in its purest form.

-------------------------------------------

Let’s not be too quick to dismiss children’s emotions or assume they’re too young to “know.”
Sometimes, they see more than we do. My daughter has opened my eyes to this.
