My mom messages her late best friend’s ex husband every year on the anniversary of her death, It’s always the same simple text “3 months” Just a little reminder that he married another woman 3 months after she died of cancer n honestly I love that for her
I quit p0rn before I even started.
Years back, my dad handed me a brand-new phone. It was an upgrade from the tablet I had then. For me, it was heaven-sent. This one had real internet access, social media apps, and a sharper camera. The next day, I took it to school to show off. Everyone was hyping me up, we took countless selfies and videos, and the phone went round like party jollof.
Later that evening at home, my dad casually asked for the phone. He said he wanted to check football scores. Strange request, because the man had his own phone and a TV. But I thought “Maybe he just wants to snoop through what I’ve been doing” like when I had my tablet with the whole parental control thingy. And since I wasn’t hiding anything (or so I thought), I handed it over.
He opened Chrome and the very first thing staring back at us was p0rn.
My soul left my body. I snatched the phone back in panic, stuttering that it must’ve been my schoolmates, that I didn’t know how it got there. My dad didn’t even shout. He didn’t slap me. He didn’t seize the phone. He just took the phone back and quietly searched for his football scores like nothing happened, then handed it back to me.
But by then I was trembling like a fowl drenched in rain. I was certain he’d explode any moment. Instead, he looked at me and asked “Why are you shaking like that?” I tried to speak, but instead, I burst into tears. He calmly told me “When you’re done crying, then explain.”
So I did. I told him how I had taken the phone to school, how my classmates passed it around and how the p0rn stuff probably came from them. He listened, nodded and then said:
“By now, you know what sex is, right?”
I nodded.
"And you know what p0rn is too, yes?"
I nodded again.
And then this man sat me down and gave me the kind of talk I never expected. Not a beating, not curses or condemnation. He gave me a talk.
He started with séx Ed and from what I could remember in my foggy memory, this is what he said:
• P0rn destroys your brain. It rewires how you think about séx, about people, about yourself and what should be natural starts to feel like a performance.
• It cheapens intimacy. It makes you look at people like objects and once your mind starts feeding on that, it becomes harder to connect with someone genuinely.
• It fuels addiction. He explained how some people can’t even be with real partners anymore because their brain is hooked on the exaggerated fantasy.
• It twists your expectations. P0rn shows things that aren’t realistic, and then people enter marriages expecting magic tricks instead of real intimacy built on trust and love.
• Self-control is strength. He told me temptation will always exist. On the internet, in life, even in my own body but strength comes from learning to control yourself, not letting anything control you.
I sat there, stunned. This wasn’t the father I imagined in my head. The one I imagined would have seized my phone and then reset my brain with his belt.
From that day, something clicked. I couldn’t even bring myself to watch p0rn, not out of fear, but because his words were permanently stamped in my head. It wasn’t just “don’t do it.” He told me why not to do it.
And he was right. Years later, I see people online battling addictions, losing themselves to it and I just think “That could’ve been me.” But I quit before I even started.
I also never gave my phone to my classmates again. Awon alakoba oshi!
Peter Obi thinks he knows a lot and has in depth knowledge about how to solve the economic, security and power problems.
I strongly believe BAT will flaw him very easily. I want BAT to mess him up so badly in a debate.
I'm using this medium to beg all APC supporters and believers of Asiwaju's knowledge of governance to accept an open debate to teach Peter Obi serious lessons.
Peter Drury, when Zadok dribbles past four players and scores: "One by one they came... and one by one they fell.
Like doubts before belief.
Like shadows before sunrise.
Zadok Yohanna has walked through them with the serenity of a priest and the ruthlessness of a king.
The boy from Nigeria has turned Brighton into Bethlehem... because tonight, a star has been born."
Chai! tears streaming down his cheeks. He knows his life and that of the family will never remain the same again. Ein papa no even understand wetin de happen.
Zadok all of Nigeria is rooting for you, straight into our FPLs, arguments, banter & conversations. You’re here to stay.
Throwback to 2019 when I donated $14,000,000 to @savechildrenuk to support children across Northern Nigeria.
True wealth is not measured by what we keep, but by the lives we change 🕊️ … F.Ote💲
Can imagine the story telling from EFCC
You killed a 16 year old child and this is the useless balderdash story you come up with.
From internet fraudster, to cultist, to shooter to lying in the pool of his own blood.
You people are monsters in that agency and your end is coming, slowly but surely.
Alhamdulillah!!
From being a Med Lab Assistant to becoming a Medical Laboratory Technician and now the biggest of them all: a Medical Laboratory Scientist✅
A demanding but inspiring story of passion and determination which ended in praises.
Congratulations ❤️
I don’t mean to downplay your efforts but I strongly believe that you’re still purchasing fake. My bedsheets that are verified originals cost me 7.6M each and I have 8 at the moment.
My towels on the other hand costs 3.4M each and i have 6 at the moment. I just think you need to up your game to be on that level you envision. No offence.
We need to first uphold the fact that Nigeria is a secular state…
Not Christian
Not Islamic
Take your bloody religious intolerance elsewhere.
Because are we all mad!!!
