In case you didn't read the first tweet, these are things you will be doing FOR YOURSELF.
Of course it is praiseworthy to build houses for people & pay school fees for others but this is not the thread for it.
We must take the guilt out of spoiling oneself.

1. Go to finishing school
Now that you have the money, you might as well learn how moneyed people behave.
Go get yourself polished and finished nicely and be a compliment to your windfall.

2. Buy legit copies of books/music/movies/art
The feeling of pride you will have with your tangible collection! Also, every purchase benefits its creators directly. Praiseworthy, isn't it?

3. Invest in a cow.
Seriously.
The price of butter and dairy products in this country is shameful. Not to mention that things you make by yourself at home are healthier than anything store-bought.

4. Stock up on sheet music
This is for my beloved instrumentalists. Unless you are exceptionally talented, you can only go so far playing by ear. Besides, understanding how music is written will help you greatly if you are interested in composing your own pieces.

5. Go heavy on paid subscriptions.
Masterclass. Coursera. Medium. The list goes on. Free trials are okay but there is something called "value for your money" as well.

6. Invest in a personal tailor.
Someone whose work speaks for itself. Someone who understands your body in and out. Someone who is good with his materials. Someone who is not intimidated by your suggestions but will also not delude you into thinking every cut suits you.

7. Skincare
Skincare is for both men and women, by the way. Sunscreen is for both black and white people, by the way. Invest in quality products for that precious organ of yours. Work out a suitable regimen for yourself. You may want to engage a derma for this one.

8. Invest in yourself
Throwback to point 5 & 1. You may want to go back to school, but you can take classes for things you're genuinely interested in, without the academic pressure. Wine classes. Pottery. Cookery. And so forth.
Plus, you never know who you may meet there...

And that is the end of my little list.
Remember, these are merely suggestions, NOT impositions.
What else would you like to do for you when you finally omoka?
