My sister had a baby while still living at home, and my dad was so mad.
At the time he owned a power saw, so every night around 1 a.m he'd start it outside the house just to wake the baby up. 🤣🤣
I don’t like people gossiping about their friends to me. Today you’re telling me everything they did wrong, tomorrow you’re posting mimosa dates and “my girl ❤️” on Instagram. Miss me with all that.
About this people living with disabilities conversation, I’ve mostly stayed quiet because something about the discourse wasn’t sitting right with me. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it at first, but I finally figured it out. A lot of you are being intentionally obtuse. I’m sorry but this will be a bit long
I was born left-handed. As a child, I endured both verbal and physical abuse from teachers and family friends because of it. I can barely remember most of my childhood but those moments I cannot forget. I remember one so clearly, I was eating and someone hit my hand so hard that even my sister was shocked. I barely reacted cos somehow even at that age, I was already getting used to it, I just switched to using my right hand
Fast forward several years, and I now use my right hand for most things. But sometimes on impulse I hand people things with my left, eat with it, reach for things with it. And that’s where the issue usually comes up. Some people insist that I use my right hand instead, others even scold me for it. Sometimes I get angry, other times, I just let it slide
But why am I telling you all this? Thank you very much for that question
Because lefthandedness is not a disability, yet look at how society treats people whose dominant hand is simply different from the majority. Now imagine how the same society treats people living with actual disabilities. The ones you walk past when they’re struggling with something that’s easy for you, the ones you stare at, the ones you even make jokes about
And that’s why I find some of the current conversations deeply dishonest. So forgive me if I don’t immediately buy into every display of performative compassion. I know what i faced when I was a child and what I still have to face
A Nigerian dad will praise your cooking every day.
The moment his wife travels, he stops enjoying your food. One day it’s:
“Too much salt.”
“The stew was better yesterday.”
Then comes the real reason for all the complaints:
“Has your mother said when she’s coming back?” 😭
Cristiano Ronaldo knows the immense love Nigerians have for him and he intentionally missed chances that he could easily tap-in if it were another team.
That’s why he’s the GOAT.
friendship; what a concept man!
my guy loaned his friend part of the money he used to japa a few years ago, now he has paid my guy back. but earlier this year he asked for his help to clear two lexus cars he shipped in, as he didn't have any family or someone he can trust in lagos.
as per his guy, he was happy to help. did all the running around and got the cars out quickly, then was arranging for them to be sent to asaba as directed, only to be told that one of the cars was for him.
mind you, he got married late last year and they are expecting. he used to tell me how pained he was that his wife takes cabs to ante-natal and how he was hoping for a miracle to buy to a car before the baby arrives, as it will make their lives easier.
well, christmas has come early for them. hard guy like me had tears in my eyes, cos this is so thoughtful.
