@wermbraiin Okay now I want to read. Who's the guy I should look out for? Eric?

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

I once tried to compliment a lady's pants. It was a gorgeous Ankara print, and I couldn't stop staring. So I waved and said, 'Hi, I love your pants!'
I'm not sure she got the wire, because she had this horrified look on her face.

Ladies question...
Do you compliment other ladies whether it’s their hair, outfit, makeup, anything?

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

But why are there problems?

[Aproko Doctor Global @aproko_doctor]

As a young person in the workplace, don't run away from problems. Instead use them to build your capability to solve them.

"The readers will understand."
The readers when they open my chapter one:

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

You wrote a storyline. You even looked wrist cramps in the eye and went on to run a chapter by chapter outline. You think you're so organized and fatigue-resistant, but then Chimezie starts writing himself and you decide it doesn't work like that for you.

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

Algorithm this, algorithm that. But X drops me anywhere. It's like entering a bus heading to Iyana-Ipaja and then suddenly you're at Igbesa. No, don't do that to me. Respect my wishes!
I wish to be on the book train. Only the book train. Non-negotiable.

When I say my head is full, I mean this.

@ayam_Chizzy 'God with us-a'?

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

So no one's going to come up with a power-bank that can recharge our social batteries? 🫠

Is there a group chat for people who just want to pause and understand what is truly going on?

@whoisbokoye Ruth knew if she was going to become a professor at thirty, she couldn't be caught staying up late at night washing food flasks and turning water bottles upside down. She would speak to Ifedi about the 50/50 rule. She didn't make Nnedi and Nnanna alone, after all.
😭

@scene_lady Maybe one of my ancestors tripped someone and Karma remembered? 💔

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

Falling in public is enough reason to relocate. I fell and lay there like I was having a picnic. When I felt hands lifting me from the floor, I genuinely wanted them to leave me there. 😭

Calling peoples opinions of me "fan theories"

[Dr. Priyam Bordoloi @DocPriyamMD]

Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.

For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.

Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.

She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.

It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.

Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.

Stick around, you'll find out. 🫠

I’m really not a fan of people that ask me a lot of personal questions. I’m an oversharer so relax I’m going to tell you anyways

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

Home made combination. 🤝

Does he want me to tell my team to arrange a #missingribcampaign for the missing wife?
Does he have an insurance for his car? I can help him with that as well.

[Shushu ❤️ @Shasheen_]

My aunty pulled me aside at a family wedding last year.
I thought she wanted to give me money or something .😂

She looked me dead in the eyes and said "you are not getting any younger."

I was 24.😭

She then pointed at a man across the room and said
"that one is looking for a wife, he has a car."

The man was 57.
The car was a 2004 Camry.

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

I don't know, but this feels like the start of a great horror-comedy novel. You went where?! With who? To do what?! 💔

[Professional GF @formerwickdgyal]

Went with my now (ex) to clean his mum’s grave. It was fairly early in the relationship, but I knew his dad, brother, etc.

I look up, and his mum (I’d seen photos) is walking towards us. I didn’t breathe. I didn’t say a word.

Why wouldn’t you tell me your dead mum is a twin?

[Anarah C. C @TheTalkBooker]

AI can replace our jobs but not the gods wrecking people's lives?
I'll be back. I need to ask around.
