On this abusive parenting conversation, I don’t truly believe that adopting gentle parenting full time is going to help. I’ve been taking care of young children for some time and I believe some level of sternness is required when dealing with younger children.
Now that RAT say make we dey sell corn and akara, a lot of you people have been coming out to say “you people’s mother sold akara to send you to school”
I thought you people said men are the only ones providing
@kareemwonda How? Infact, I don't think it is flawed. I think it is just something many people have never given a thought. I work and support survivors of SGBV and this is one of the things they complain they had to deal with, and they were sometimes called out for not participating.
I hate whatever this is so much. Zero awareness and consciousness. Cos rape victims, child-brides/mums, will come here, and have to participate or sit and listen to these silly people give praises to their perpetrators.
Can’t even fault men that won’t follow you guys to Antenatal, see the nonsense you guys are singing 😂
It’s her seriousness for me
Now I want to do another 9 months course so I can travel to Nigeria to sing rubbish
Woke up this morning with 100k in my account. I was craving to go to my favourite cafe and give myself a treat. Which might cost me at least 30k.
Then I remembered I want to collect my sch transcript and lang proficiency, which would cost about 50k.
I wanted to buy one unique chair for my space, 45k.
I opened WhatsApp and saw a message from Lil Sis reminding me of her allowance and contribution towards her project. Another 50k.
I sent lil sis her 50k. Bought data 20k. Renewed 𝕏 sub. And I'm left with 24k to manage, I can't leave my acct entirely empty.
I called lil sis this afternoon to gist. She was eating, I asked what she was eating, and she said shawarma and parfait. That's 15k! I asked where she got the money from. And she answered that it's from the money I sent her in the morning. I was about to say something, and she said, "I can't come and kill myself."
Ngl, I don't know how to feel. I'm not angry. But I feel sorry for myself.
@ThierryBreton@edri@accessnow@glovo I can't DM. I made my first order on Glovo today. I was debited, but the app claimed to not have received value, and my order was never processed. Please refund me
My landlord increased my rent by ₦250,000 and told me I had 30 days to pay or leave.
I was angry, but there was nothing I could do.
For three weeks I searched for another apartment. Nothing💔
Either the rent was higher or the place looked like it would collapse during heavy rain.
One afternoon I was packing some old boxes when I heard a knock.
It was the old woman who sold vegetables at the junction near my house.
We'd barely exchanged more than greetings for three years.
She looked at the boxes and asked,
"You're moving?"
I told her about the rent increase.
She was quiet for a moment and then left.
I thought that was the end of it.
The next morning, she came back.
She didn’t come alone. With her were six other traders from the junction.
One brought a plastic chair. One brought a small table. One brought a notebook.
I was confused.
The old woman opened the notebook and said,
“Read the names”
I looked down.
There were over fifty names.
People I knew.
The vulcanizer. The woman who sold akara. The pharmacy owner. The security man from the next street.
Beside every name was an amount.
₦2,000. ₦5,000. ₦10,000.
I asked what it was.
The old woman looked offended.
I hate how easily my brain gets fatigued and overwhelmed.
I hate that I am not getting enough mental rest. Cos even when I am sleeping,it's not restful because my brain keeps reminding me of the things I am not doing/haven't done.
I hate PMOS, ADHD,and what they are doing to me😭
@udemeAkpan01 There is no explanation that girl will hear. Even if na android, buy o. You don't even know if she has bragged to her friends, and is looking forward to it.
You are great man😂😂 figure out how to make good on your words.
