The Governor’s son gets real about toxic relationships and protecting your energy
—
Ozonna Soludo, the first son of Anambra State Governor Charles Soludo, has taken to social media to share a thought-provoking message that has many Nigerians nodding their heads in agreement.
The young man, who is no stranger to public life given his father’s high-profile position, kept it brutally honest when he wrote:
> “Sometimes you put yourself around certain people just to remind yourself why you don’t need to be around them.”
The Message That Hit Different
If you have ever attended a family gathering, a work function, or even a friend’s owambe and left wondering why you even showed up in the first place — then you already understand exactly what Ozonna is talking about.
His words touch on what many relationship experts refer to as “unsafe people” — those individuals who drain your energy, challenge your peace, or simply remind you of everything you have worked hard to outgrow.
Why This Resonates So Deeply With Nigerians
Let’s be honest — in our Nigerian society, cutting people off is never as simple as it sounds. We are wired to maintain relationships out of loyalty, family obligation, or even just “what will people say?” But sometimes, life gives you a front-row seat to exactly why certain connections no longer serve you.
Whether it is that cousin who never misses a chance to undermine your success, the old friend who only shows up when they need something, or the colleague whose energy always leaves you exhausted — the lesson is the same: not every familiar face deserves a permanent seat at your table.
Protect Your Energy, Protect Your Future
Ozonna’s message, though brief, carries serious weight. Sometimes the universe does not remove toxic people from your life directly — it simply gives you enough clarity to walk away on your own terms.
As they say on the streets: “Know when to collect your sense and comot.”
