If every child matters and every dream counts as you have said,
Pls dedicate today to doubling up your efforts in recovering these 46 little children who have been in the den of terrorists for many days now.
For once in your existence,
Dear Nigerian Police Force, do better!!!!
On this day, my husband texted me late at night after some French-speaking guys hired him to take them to their new location. He said it got really dark while they were still on a rough road, and he became scared because the place looked so remote. At some point, he had to stop and tell them he wasn’t going any further because he was already having doubts about them. That was when he texted me so I could know his location.
He later said he genuinely thought the guys wanted to use him for ritual.😩
Please always share your location and call your people in the presence of anyone hiring you, especially when going to unfamiliar places.
Be a little extra like me and open emails in the names of your kids so that is secured forever.
Did I hear you say what would they need it for?
- Start sending pictures; one at a time with one line about what was happening in that moment.
- Scan and send in their Birth certificate, NIN, local government certificate, international passport and school results.
Don't overthink it; write what you remember.
Don't forget to save the login details somewhere safe.
One day they will open those emails;
- Maybe in university.
- Maybe the night before a big interview when they need their documents quickly.
- Maybe just on a random afternoon when they need to feel held and everything will be there organized , labeled and loved.
They put 17 people, married an average of 21 years, into a brain scanner and showed them a photo of their spouse. The same parts of the brain lit up that fire when a teenager has their first crush. Two decades together, and the chemistry was still going off like fireworks.
The study ran at Stony Brook in 2011. What changes after 20 years is the anxiety. That panic of not knowing if they love you back, the wondering, the checking. All of that fades. The pull toward them stays.
So that tells you what old love looks like in the brain. It doesn’t tell you how a couple gets there.
A marriage researcher named John Gottman has spent 40 years on that question. He films couples arguing in his lab at the University of Washington and predicts whether they’ll divorce. He gets it right 93.6% of the time, from 15 minutes of footage. More than 3,000 couples now.
He watches the two-second moments between sentences. The pauses. That’s where the prediction lives. The fights themselves matter less.
His go-to example: your wife is staring out the window and says, look at that bird. You glance up and say, oh wow. Or you keep scrolling on your phone. That tiny choice, that little reach for your attention, is what he calls a bid.
He watched newlyweds in his lab and followed them for six years. The couples who were still married had responded to each other’s bids 86 times out of 100. The couples who divorced had responded 33 out of 100. Same money fights. Same in-laws. Same dishes in the sink. The one thing that was different was the bird.
This part stopped me. Gottman found that 69% of the things every couple fights about are problems that never get solved. The chores. The money. His mother. Whose family they spend Christmas with. The arguments repeat for 50 years. Happy couples and unhappy couples have roughly the same list of problems. The happy ones learned to argue about that list without contempt. The eye roll. The sigh. The little smile that says you are pathetic. Gottman calls contempt the sulfuric acid of relationships. He says it’s the single biggest sign that a marriage is over.
When you see two old people asleep on each other on a plane, the forgiveness in that picture is real. They have absorbed thousands of small failures by now. There is something quieter underneath the forgiveness, though. Decades ago, one of them said look at that bird. The other one looked up.
Infidelity is such an interesting concept, you’re cheating on someone you chose to be with…like no one forced you to be with this person…it was a conscious decision you made to be with this person and now you’re cheating on them.
Just apologise when you know that you fucked up. All of that manipulative behavior and being mad at a person for being mad at you when they have a legit reason to be is just weird shit.
People love to say they grown until it's time to hold themselves accountable!
Marriage is not beautiful.
Marriage can be quite ugly; it reveals the absolute worst in someone. You see them when they're mad, sad, stubborn, and unlovable to the point that it makes you want to scream. But you also witness them laughing so hard that tears stream down their face, accompanied by those amusing, involuntary noises.
You share those 3 a.m. moments when the world is asleep, and it’s just the two of you, sitting on the kitchen floor, enjoying a midnight snack. You get to see sides of them that no one else does, and they’re not always pretty. It’s about snorting while laughing, shedding tears when everything feels overwhelming, dealing with the occasional flatulence, waking up to bedhead and bad breath, engaging in spontaneous dances, and experiencing the full spectrum of anger and joy.
Marriage isn’t beautiful, but it is amazing. It’s knowing that someone loves you deeply and won’t leave you, even when you say something hurtful. It’s about having someone who supports you no matter what. It involves arguments over trivial matters, like who didn’t do the dishes or pick up after themselves. And it includes those nights when you fall asleep in each other’s arms, feeling as though there will never be enough time together. It’s about caring for them when they’re sick, whether that means cleaning up after them or simply rubbing their back for comfort.
It’s the dirtiest, hardest, and most rewarding job there is. Because at the end of the day, you get to crawl into bed with your best friend—the weirdest, most annoying, loving, goofy, and perfect person you know. Marriage may not be beautiful, but it’s one hell of a ride.
People sadly find this out the hard way.
1. DO NOT change your burn rate. Make it even lower.
2. Have a fallback position. When I lost everything in crypto in 2022, equities saved me. I built back from there.
3. Buy the house you will live in first—no real estate gambling.
4. Have a buffer of between 6 months and a year in case nothing happens. That is where low burn rate comes to save you later.
Has anyone actually successfully learned a language using Duolingo
Seems like a lot of cute graphics and satisfying sound effects but I'm not buying that it actually works...
My daughter has started doing this thing where if she doesn’t get her way she threatens to hurt herself. Yeh. So today I told her that if she hurts herself I can’t give her what she wants bc I am not going to give things to someone who is mean to my daughter. 🤯 She is reeling.
Just In:
An 18yr old girl has been sentenced to two years in prison with 12 strokes of cane, for complaining online about poverty, ra/pe, terrorism and banditry in Sokoto State.
@Qu_Estique Hello ma, help me tell your colleagues that we don't like:
- Tests for non graduate trainee roles.
- Requests for current salary and expected salary ( just share budget and if you can't afford candidate, move on)
- Not sharing feedback with candidates.
Thanks.
Launching an app called “Begr”
It is for people to beg money.
We link you up with anonymous rich people, and you beg them for money.
You can beg as high as 10 billion.
Begging is limited to 2 per month.
As the CEO, I take 20% of whatever you beg and receive.
I highly recommend having a clingy and lovey dovey partner. Life is too short to be with people who act like it's painful to show that you love someone.
This saved my brother last year he may have been dead by now.
Read till the end.
My Elder brother and his wife newly married usually calls each other very frequently, every hour you will be hearing. hello babe, bla bla bla 1/5
Keep having sex without condom. HIV drugs will now cost you N3m for 30 days. 90% of Nigerians will not be able to afford it. With Trump cutting funding for free HIV treatment and other HIV programs, the disease will spread like wild fire. Discipline yourself and save your life.
