I was speaking with a senior the other day and he was like, "When life gives you bitterleaf," trying to act smart I responded with, "Make bitterleaf juice." Oga was like, "Nah, not in Nigeria. In Nigeria, when life gives you bitterleaf, you are expected to make lemonade. It's nobody's business how to get it done, you have no excuse."

And it sounds wild, because how on earth am I going to make lemonade from bitterleaf? From where to where? Abi I dey perform magic or wenti.

But let's be real, why some people are given lemons (silver spoon), there's another group given bitterleaf (wooden spoon), and both are expected to get the same result, 'lemonade.'

When you’re given bitterleaf, you have to wash, squeeze, and prepare it. You have to work harder just to reach the starting line. Some people’s lemonade comes easy; for others, every drop is earned.

Dearest reader, that’s the point. Life doesn’t hand out fairness. It hands out work. And how you turn your bitterleaf into something good… that’s where your power lies.
