Thank you SPPG @TheSPPG for spotlighting me. I was also spotlighted in class last week.

In the words of the moderator, he said Ekiti to the World!

The experience so far has been mind blowing as well as thorough. During the acculturation month,I had to go back to the drawing

"PREGNANCY OPENED MY EYES TO HOW DEEPLY PATRIARCHY HAS FAILED NIGERIAN WOMEN. 😫💔

Four pregnancies. Four beautiful children. Three in Nigeria and one abroad.

I was present throughout all four journeys. During the three pregnancies in Nigeria, I attended virtually every antenatal appointment with my wife. Every scan. Every test. Every check-up. I was there. I was also present at the hospital for the birth of all my children. In fact, all four babies were handed to me almost immediately after their mother carried them after delivery. But that is not even where I am going with this.

During those antenatal visits in Nigeria, I would see countless pregnant women looking exhausted, hungry, stressed and worn out. Some would arrive with babies less than a year old strapped to their backs while carrying another pregnancy. And almost every single time, I would be the only man there supporting his wife. The only man.

Every time we got home, I would ask my wife the same question "Where are the husbands of these women? Is this really how women are treated in the hands of this God-forsaken men?" 😫

I was born and bred in Nigeria, nobody teaches all this things. I read and learnt it myself and I understand the fact that a woman should never go through pregnancy alone.

Then I moved abroad. And my eyes opened even wider. During my wife's last pregnancy, despite working full-time, I never missed a single hospital appointment. Not one. And whenever we arrived, the waiting rooms were full of husbands supporting their wives. Men taking notes. Men asking questions. Men carrying bags. Men holding hands. Men showing up. That was when I realized something. Maybe I was not the normal one in Nigeria. Maybe that was why I always looked odd. Because what I was doing abroad was normal. What I was doing in Nigeria was treated like I was doing something extraordinary.

That was when I truly understood how deeply patriarchy has damaged Nigerian men and, by extension, their wives.

Nigerian men, stop this nonsense. Pregnancy was created by both of you. You may never fully understand what these women are going through physically, emotionally and mentally, but the least you can do is support them with your presence. And please, don't ever compare pregnancy to you going to work.

Look at the picture of my wife during our last pregnancy. Look at her tummy. Look at what her body had to go through just to bring another human being into this world. And you dare compare that to any work in the world? Are you mad or something? 😫

After everything pregnancy does to a woman's body, some of you still call women fat. Some of you still call women lazy. Some of you still call women cranky. Some of you still complain about stretch marks. Haaa. 😫 Every time I looked at my wife during those final months, I was genuinely afraid for her. The physical sacrifice alone was enormous. The discomfort. The sleepless nights. The body changes. The risks.

Men, respect these women. Give them their flowers every single day. They deserve far more than a simple thank you. And as for me, I still tell my wife thank you. Thank you for risking your life four different times for our family. Thank you for carrying our children. Thank you for enduring what I could never endure. Thank you for doing something that neither I, my father, my grandfather nor any man who will ever live can do.

African men wake up from your slumber. Women deserve more than gratitude.

They deserve respects"

Dear Airtel,

Since there's shortage of people that sell akara on Saturday morning, why don't you look into that business and leave this telecom business?

I just finished watching Behind the Scenes by Funke Akindele, and here are some of the things I took from the movie:

1. Stop overextending yourself for people. Unfortunately, black tax has no limit, but if you don’t set boundaries, takers won’t either. Even your family can ruin your finances if you don’t give wisely.

2. Being too nice to people won’t make them like you more. The world is not fair to soft people. Be ruthless in your dealings with others.

3. When you make money, take very good care of yourself first. If you have to ghost some people for sometime, do it. People will talk, but they’ll be fine, with or without you.

4. Adetutu is a cruel person, very selfish, self-centered, and malicious. You don’t forgive people like that. I pray no one finds themselves in a situation where they have to d!é and leave their children with a sister like her.

5. Adewale deserved that forgiveness. He was reckless and irresponsible, but he turned a new leaf and was remorseful for everything he did. Everyone fvcks up; it’s what you do afterward that defines you.

6. Aderonke had no real friends. The people around her were only there to take from her. This further highlights the importance of having good friends in your life. If you do, don’t take them for granted.

7. The only true family Aderonke had were Oluchi, Victor, and Johnson.

8. Don’t let them unalive you. Not only will they move on, but they will also benefit from everything you’ve built. Stay woke and grounded.

9. If you listen/solve everyone’s touching stories, your own story will eventually become the next touching one, and those same people won’t be there to save you.

10. Tobi Bakare, Destiny Etiko, Mr Macaroni, Scarlet Gomez, and Funke Akindele are exactly who they think they are, incredible actors.

Overall, it is a solid 8/10.👏
