🚨Indian construction worker Vipin Kumar has been awarded honorary citizenship in Romania after risking his life to save a five-year-old girl who fell into an icy lake. He kept the child above water for nearly 30 minutes until rescuers arrived
The first day I ate amala, I just knew it could never go well with any soup apart from ewedu, okra, and ogbono, because the texture blends smoothly and makes it easy to swallow. I think any soup that isn’t slimy isn’t for amala.
20 RULES EVERY GUEST SHOULD FOLLOW WITHOUT BEING TOLD:
1. Arrive within ten minutes of the time you were given, early is as disruptive as being significantly late.
2. Never show up completely empty-handed because a bottle, flowers, or dessert communicates genuine appreciation for being invited.
3. Offer to help in the kitchen rather than sitting comfortably while the host runs back and forth serving everyone.
4. Keep your voice at a volume that matches the energy of the space rather than commanding the entire room.
5. Never open a door, cupboard, or drawer in someone's home unless you have been specifically directed to do so.
6. Leave your shoes at the entrance unless the host explicitly tells you that keeping them on is perfectly fine.
7. Do not bring uninvited guests without asking first because a host planned for the number of people they invited.
8. Stay off your phone for the majority of the visit because presence is the greatest gift you can bring anyone.
9. Keep your children or pets under control because your host should not have to manage your responsibilities for you.
10. Never criticise the food, the home, or the décor because someone's space is a direct extension of who they are.
11. Eat what you are served graciously and mention dietary restrictions well before the day of the gathering itself.
12. Do not overstay the welcome read the room, recognise the signals, and begin wrapping up before you are tired out.
13. Clean up after yourself immediately rather than leaving cups, plates, and wrappers for the host to collect after you leave.
14. Never rifle through the host's belongings, medications, or personal items even if you stumble across them by accident.
15. Keep conversations inclusive rather than pulling one person into a long private exchange that excludes everyone else at the gathering.
16. Thank the host specifically and genuinely rather than a vague that was lovely as you are already walking out the door.
17. Follow up the next day with a message that acknowledges the effort because gratitude sent later lands just as meaningfully.
18. Never compare this gathering unfavourably to another host's event even as a joke because it always lands worse than intended.
19. Respect the atmosphere the host has created rather than trying to redirect the energy toward what you personally would prefer.
20. Be the guest that makes the host feel the effort was completely worth it before you even reach the door.
Growing up in Nigeria
You see a class of 50 pupils
Only 10 are bright and are doing well
The remaining 40 are struggling
Many of us did not know that amongst those 40 were special kids who were not olodos but couldn't learn with the structure provided
- Some needed visual learning
- Some needed reinforcement learning
- Some needed mind mapping and other techniques
But they could not get it.
So, the system called all of them Olodo.
They grew up with the low self esteem and gave up on themselves
The sun was free. They sold you SPF 50 and a vitamin D deficiency.
Sleep was free. They sold you an app, a pill, and a wearable that tells you your sleep was bad.
Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill, a fitness tracker, and a £180 pair of trainers.
Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes and the anxiety that skipping breakfast would wreck your metabolism.
Cold water was free. They sold you a £3,000 plunge barrel and a podcast episode about it.
Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app with a premium tier.
Animal fat was cheap. They sold you seed oils, then supplements to replace what the animal fat contained.
Tallow was cheap. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine and a clinical trial proving your face needs ceramides.
Meat was cheap. They are currently selling you the idea that you shouldn't eat it.
The 20th century removed access to everything the body needs to function.
The 21st century is selling it back, one subscription at a time.
Your great-grandmother had none of the products.
She had all of the things.
