So today I was to go to the airport to confirm a flight booking for a friend. I got dressed and when I stepped out, I decided to book a Bolt ride.

In less than 5 minutes the driver arrived and I was surprised when I discovered that it was a pregnant woman who was the bolt driver.

She was heavily pregnant. Her stomach was big. She looked like she was 8 months pregnant already.

I stood there staring at her for a while.

"Are you the bolt driver?"

"Yes."

"I looked at her and turned to enter the car."

"Buckle up your seat belt, sir."

I buckled up.

She began to drive.

Calmly.

"This is my first time seeing a heavily pregnant woman doing bolt service."

She smiled.

"Yes. I have heard that over 5 times today since morning. Everyone looks surprised."

"Yes. It is surprising. I won't bother if you were not pregnant. But you are pregnant. At this stage, I feel like I should be the one driving you."

She laughed.

"I am fine. It is my Job to offer my services."

"How long have you been driving?"

She smiled.

"Since I became pregnant."

"Are you serious? And oga allowed you?"

"My husband is crippled. He became crippled last year after he was involved in an accident."

I was silent for some seconds.

She turned to me and smiled.

"You speechless?"

"I am. I didn't expect that response. I am sorry."

"It is fine Jarey. We had this car parked at home. So since he can't drive it out anymore or go to work, I decided to stand up and do the work to put food on the table."

I became emotional as she spoke.

"He did it for me and took care of me before his accident. Now that he is not able to do it anymore, I believe it is my duty to do it for him too and our unborn child."

I nodded and smiled.

"Thank you for supporting him. He must be very lucky."

She smiled.

"He is. But I am lucky too."

From the way she spoke about her husband, I could tell the man treated her very well when he was still strong and able.

Today when he is down, she took it upon herself to take care of him too.

Men, be good to your wives. Love them genuinely. Respect them. Treat them with kindness while you are strong enough to do so.

Because the love you sow into a woman's heart today may become the strength she uses to carry you tomorrow. Only a woman who was loved well, will stand by you in your time of struggles.

A few weeks before my brain surgery, I was removed from a WhatsApp group. When I reached out to the admin, he told me that it was an error.

"Give me some time Oga Jaff. I will add you back." He assured me.

I didn't get back to him again. I totally forgot about it. It took over a month before he called me.

"Oga Jaff, I actually removed you from the group because I wanted us, your good friends to contribute something small for you." He explained rather apologetically. "We have contributed a token for you. Please let me have your wife's account number. Abeg, help us manage what we were able to gather for you. It's small but it came from loving hearts. May God see you through this ugly phase."

I thanked him exceedingly and reiterated that I appreciated every kobo. "I don't take this for granted."

I went ahead to thank everyone in the group when I was added back. There, I acknowledged the receipt of the money and appreciated their generosity. I didn't bother to ask who contributed what because I was not meant to know.

So, days ago, we received a distressed message that one of the members of the WhatsApp group had had an accident. The admin of the group removed the victim and called for a donation to help assist him with the medical bills.

"Please let's be our brother's keeper once again." He urged.

I had 25k which was what I was saving for my medications against next week. It was all that I had but I felt obligated to help because one good turn deserves another. Honestly, if I had more, I would have given more.

I told my wife to send 20k to the account provided. The money was sent almost immediately the admin posted about it. A day later, the admin added his own contribution of 5k.

Since then, I noticed that no one else bothered to add anything. I was disturbed by this development. Yesterday, I dropped a post in the group urging people to show up for the accident victim. This was after we were told that he'd been moved to the orthopaedic hospital.

It was then that a member surreptitiously called me to explain why everyone had stayed aloof.

"When we were told months ago to contribute money for you, he was the only one who opposed the idea. He said that the group was meant for intellectual matters only and even threatened to exit. He kept affirming that the group wasn't created for any charity reasons. Even when people ignored him and began to contribute, he kept distracting us with needless posts. Today, the table has turned. If I were you, I would have collected my 20k back." The member revealed.

Although I felt bad about that revelation, something inside me reminded me that we're made differently. I went on to do another post last night begging people to come out and support him. I maintained that we must not begin to tow the part of an-eye-for-an-eye. If we treated everyone the same way they treated us, there would soon be no more Angels left on earth.

There are crabs and there are scorpions. I opined that we should continue to be angels even when everyone around us turns into a demon. It is the nature of the good tree to bear good fruits. I will never let the good in me be erased or blotted out by the bad in the heart of a terrible person.

I was glad to see that more than ten people in the WhatsApp group have sent in their contribution after reading my post on the group. May God not let us use our own hands to chase away our guardian Angels. Sometimes, it's not life that is unfair to us but the bad seeds we sowed in the past that grew into thorns around us.

If the room is dirty and you have a broom, please use it where necessary. That room might be playing host to your guardian angel soon.

I wish him a speedy recovery sincerely from the bottom of my heart.

A child acting older than their age does not stop them from being a child.

Sometimes “maturity” is innocence stolen too soon.

Children deserve protection. Children cannot give consent.

We have so many Christians in this App yet we don't share Testimonies.

If God did something supernatural for you lately, let's hear it.

Mine - Barely 2 months ago, I had a Ruptured Appendix Operation. Three days later I had complications and almost died.
Scan results said I had fluid in my lungs, Ultrasound results said my intestines were twisted. I couldn't breathe or walk anymore.
They had to fix a pipe in from my nose to my stomach to drain fluid and help me breathe.

I was rushed from the Private Hospital to Ubth for a second operation with less than 5 percent chances of survival.

I already said my goodbyes to my families, my wife and my son.
I said my last prayers, gave a last instruction and direction to the Church and succumbed to death BUT MERCY SAYS NO.

GOD stepped in, the waters in my lungs disappear, the twisted intestines were released. Within 5 days in UBTH, MIRACLE took place and God Healed and restored me to full health.
In all I stayed for 12days no food or water just drips and IVs.

I NEVER WENT FOR THE SECOND OPERATION IN UBTH.
THIS INDEED IS A MIRACLE.

A Nation Losing Its HUMANITY.

Some events shatter a society so deeply that words are no longer enough to express the shock; the brutal killing of a teacher and the horrific rape and murder of an elderly woman are among such tragedies. These are not isolated incidents but signs of deeper moral and social decay.

How did we get here? How did we reach a point where teachers are hunted and killed, and the elderly—custodians of memory and wisdom—suffer such dehumanising violence?

This is more than a security crisis; it is a failure of collective humanity. We have become desensitised, consuming tragedy briefly and moving on, allowing indifference to normalise the unacceptable.

To the families affected, I share in your grief. But grief alone is not enough.

We must demand accountability and urgent systemic change. If such atrocities no longer move us to action, then we risk losing our shared humanity. -PO

Yes I’ll admit

That post about Caesarian section triggered me

Because I’m a woman who was in labour for 40 hours

I was given the maximum dose of oxytocin three times to induce labour and did not dilate beyond 2cm

I was so mentally prepared to push out a human but my body just wouldn’t

Which one should I talk about?

The intense pain ripping through me every few minutes?

Should I talk about how excruciating it is to have doctors check you for dilation while you’re actively in labour?

Should I talk about the exhaustion?
Should I talk about how that when those who have vaginal delivery have long forgotten CS moms are still grappling with wounds and pain and numbness and tingling from the anaesthetsia?

I had my baby in Canada and the nurses kept asking me if I wanted a pain relief

I did not want any drug to interfere

I was ready to bear the pain and I did

I think I have the most supportive husband in the world. He stood there every second with me. Holding my hand. Wincing as Pain coursed through me

But he did not feel the pain. Not the physical one.

I did.

So has every woman who has gone through this

When the doctors saw that my contractions were not the “good type”, they said I could get a uterine rupture, I had to be taken for a CS.

And everyday I’m grateful to God for the miracle of a CS

That a mother who has given her all can still have her baby and they both be fine

So sir, when you have had contractions for 40 hours

When you have had 7 layers of your body sliced open so you can bring forth children

When you have gone months nursing a wound that is layers deep
When you’ve been placed on a cold surgical table and cut 7 layers deep
For some 4 times.
Then come back and have this Conversation with me

Thank God for your mother and the long line of women in your family that had vaginal deliveries.
But no two women are the same.
Don’t put that burden on the woman you would marry.

A CS is not a shortcut

A CS does not make a woman weak

A CS does not happen because you did not pray enough or you’re unlucky

A CS is a medical miracle so that women like me especially pre term moms, can come out alive from the mystery that is pregnancy and childbirth

Blessings.

Too many apprenticeships in Nigeria feel more like servitude than skill-building. That needs to change.

[Chioma Favour @ChiomaFavour0]

This married woman is an apprentice just like me, we are both learning how to sew. This morning, she came to work late and our madam asked her to kneel down.

This is somebody’s wife ooo.

I summoned courage to tell her that she can’t ask someone’s wife to kneel down just because she came late, at least respect her husband.

Can you imagine that this woman slapped me and ask me to stop coming to her shop.. that I’m so disrespectful and that’s why she doesn’t accept Igbo people.

I didnt argue i just asked her to refund me back my 160k
I paid for 6 months and I’ve only spent 3 weeks with her
People around are asking me to beg my madam instead of asking for a refund that this is how it’s being done
