A lady came to my shop one day and begged me to allow her sit down while she waited for someone. I agreed and continued pressing my phone.
A few minutes later, my neighbor suddenly asked her, “Aunty, who you dey video?” She ignored him. That was when I looked up and noticed she was secretly recording a man nearby.
I asked her why she was filming the man, but she still refused to answer. My neighbor quickly informed the man that he was being recorded.
Here’s what really happened…
The man was supplying tomato paste cartons at a cheaper price. The same lady also sold that brand, but hers was almost ₦500 higher per carton. Because of the cheaper price, people were rushing to buy from the man some buying 10, 20, even 50 cartons at once.
Even some market women she usually supplied started calling her, complaining that her own price was too high and asking her to come carry her goods.
Out of anger, she came to secretly record the man and send the video to the company whose vehicle he was using. Apparently, the tomato paste company and the vehicle company were different, and according to their policy, he wasn’t supposed to use that vehicle for the delivery.
People around them quickly figured out what had happened and began pleading with her to drop the matter. One person even warned that the report could cost the man his job.
Not long after, the company called him. Rather than argue or beg, he calmly responded that there was no need for anyone to plead on his behalf, he would report himself at the office the following day.
Then he revealed something shocking:He was actually the person helping the lady access the goods in the first place because she wasn’t financially capable of buying directly from the company yet.
Unknown to him, she had quietly been adding nearly ₦500 extra on every carton she sold while still relying on him for supply. The moment he started selling at cheaper prices, she became upset because it was ruining the profit she had been making from the same market.
In the end, the company heard his explanation, allowed him to keep the vehicle, and told him to continue his work.
But the lady?She ended up losing access to the tomato paste supply entirely because the same man she reported was the one helping her business survive.

“I had s*x with my dad and put in back in prison. He went to prison when I was four for r@ping a 11 years old girl at the cemetery and when he came out, the system was about to put me back into his house and I didn’t want to, so I got high and put him in that position.”

TRANSDERMAL DETOX ACTIVATION
If you told a conventional dermatologist that applying oil to your skin could help heal your liver, they might laugh. But mention the transdermal pharmacokinetics of ricinoleic acid, and the conversation would likely shift.
Castor oil (Ricinus communis) is far from ordinary. It is composed of nearly 90% ricinoleic acid, a unique fatty acid with a molecular structure that allows it to penetrate beyond the surface of the skin into deeper dermal and subcutaneous layers. Its role isn’t just moisturizing—it’s activating.
Your lymphatic system functions like the body’s drainage network. Unlike blood circulation, it has no central pump, making it prone to stagnation due to stress, inactivity, and toxic overload. Some studies suggest that topical application of castor oil may increase T-11 lymphocyte levels within 24 hours, pointing toward a potential immunomodulatory effect.
So what does this mean in practice? Applying a castor oil pack over the liver area (beneath the right rib cage) may help stimulate local lymphatic flow and support bile movement. Think of your liver like a dense sponge—over time, it can become congested. Castor oil, combined with warmth, may help soften and mobilize this stagnation while promoting relaxation through parasympathetic nervous system activation.
This isn’t about magic—it’s about supporting circulation, encouraging detox pathways, and leveraging the skin as a route for bioactive compounds.
From ancient Egyptian medicine to modern naturopathic practices, castor oil packs have been used to address cysts, fibroids, scar tissue, and digestive sluggishness. They are also commonly associated with supporting liver detoxification processes, particularly Phase 2 pathways. If you struggle with hormonal imbalance, slow digestion, or a general sense of toxicity, your liver may benefit from extra support.
VITALIZATE TIP – The Ritual Protocol:
Use cold-pressed, hexane-free castor oil (quality matters, as castor plants can absorb toxins). Soak a piece of organic cotton flannel in the oil, place it over your liver area, cover with plastic to prevent staining, and apply a hot water bottle on top. Relax for 45 minutes. Repeat for 3 consecutive nights, then take a 4-day break.
