Ivy Ifeoma, the girlfriend of renowned singer Paul Okoye, has taken some time to offer some advice to Nigerians on how to deal with envy.
She asserts that no one is attempting to “pepper” someone, and the majority of individuals may not be aware of the effort required to achieve what they are envious of in someone else.
“When you see someone doing well, rather than let your emotions become jealousy, rage and eventually leading to depression, see it as a form of inspiration, or a reason to keep going or do better.
Nobody is trying to pepper you. You are the one seeing it that way. And you don’t know exactly what the person had to go through to get there.
It is normal to feel bad about yourself when you feel stuck and it seems someone else is doing so much better. But after sulking and hating yourself, what exactly would that solve? That person is not your enemy,” she wrote.
