I was 16 years old when this photo was taken. This was the first time I would “go out” with a male. It was a secondary school class mate
My mum was aware
Not only was she aware but we picked out my dress and did my hair together
I told her that a boy wanted to take me out and she said “sure, go and sit and gist”
This is how I was raised
And I personally believe that this was the main reason why I grew up chaste and did not make dumb mistakes as a growing young woman
Because my mum was my friend. She knew when to be a mother and when to be a big sis. When to be my bestie
Every man that spoke to me , my mum knew
I did not have have hide
I did not have to pretend
She told me I would like boys and that it was totally fine. But that it was like a plant I could nurse till it grows into something sinful, or I could quash it
She told me about sex
She told me outside marriage it wasn’t worth it and would just leave heartbroken and waste my time
She told me EVERYTHING.
You could not tell me anything new.
We gisted about boys.
She shared her own experiences growing up with me
She trusted me enough to send me out to meet a boy and not do anything foolish and come back home.
We grew up conservative but my mum made sure I made decisions by myself and understood the “why” behind the rules.
She taught me about consequence
She taught me about how that Gods way is always best
You could not deceive me
You could not lie to me and tell me rubbish
Mumsy was always ten steps ahead
The woman that I am today, I owe to my mother.
I hope more mothers, especially Christian mothers understand how to tow this delicate line
May God help us.
You opened my bag and you saw Molped, now you’re asking me why is Molped inside my own bag???

@OurFavOnlineDoc Nigerians should stop insulting other countries in Africa, especially countries like Rwanda, Namibia, Botswana, and so on. They may not have high GDP bla bla, but they have the basics, electricity, security, roads, human decency, etc. You know, the real basics.
I’m not crying… Y’ALL are 😭🥹 First thing I see on TikTok is a girl who moved in with her friend for 6 months just to get her life together. Friend told her rent was $350, she paid $400 anyway.
When it was time to move out… the friend handed her ALL $2,400 BACK 😭 and said she never needed the money, it was just to help her SAVE and go handle her business.
MY GOD 🥹 THIS is what love looks like. THIS is grace. THIS is being human.

Just wrapped up my weekly and monthly tasks for Month 2 in the ALX Backend course!
Every challenge is pushing me to think deeper, code smarter, and grow stronger.
Proud of the journey so far — onward to the next milestone! 🚀🔥

Achievements
- Wrote Python scripts for simple automation tasks and calculations
- Completed assignments on user input, arithmetic operations, and output formatting in Python
This month,I completed several simple backend tasks using Python, like building calculators and small scripts, I also practiced scaffolding projects to set up clean folder structures for future development.
A code interpreter isn't strictly necessary here since cd's behavior within a pipe is a conceptual limitation rather than an output manipulation problem.
iping isn't just about syntax; it's about understanding process execution, standard streams (stdin, stdout, stderr), and how commands interact. A tool with excellent text explanation can walk me through the underlying mechanisms, which is crucial for a conceptual understanding.
Me and Gemini AI are like 5 and 6. I give it a good prompt, it brings back a great answer. Great experience for me with prompting!
