1. A friend came to stay the weekend with us at Doctorsโ Quarters in UNIBEN in 1988. We didn't know he was allergic to eggs, and someone used the same oil that had been used to fry eggs to fry plantains. He ate the plantains and started immediately looking like the Michelin Man. Our landlord (a doctor) saved him with Hydrocortisone.
2. My youngest sister came to Accra for a visit and decided to do her hair. Some overzealous hairdresser decided she needed to dye her hair. The dye touched her scalp and she lost most of her hair while her head swelled double. She ended up in hospital for days.
3. I ate some fried meat balls in Togo in 2021 and went into shock. I recovered in hospital 8 hours later. Ended up in Accra and in hospital for a week. I don't eat processed meat till today.
4. Also me, earlier this year. I ate too much groundnuts and had a swollen neck. Ended up in hospital with complications including anaemia.
People die of allergies in Africa regularly and they call it โwitchcraft.โ
BREAKING: PFN Lagos holds public walk and protest against the killing of Nigerian Christians by Islamic terrorists.
The PFN is acting. Thank you to the leadership!
The Church is not quiet. While we prayed, danced and hoped, we equally took it to the street to voice out our frustration to the highest insecurity, injustice and corruption in our Nation.
As a man visiting Thailand ๐น๐ญ for the first time, I understand it.
The moment I see that you're going again, I already understand that we're not playing for the same teams - and that's okay, too.

Bishop Oyedepo came to OAU Ife in April 2018. I was part of the Ushering and Gifting teams.
For starters, Bishop came to Ife with only one vehicle and one aide, Pastor Niyi. So people did not really know. But somehow, people found out.
So the field was packed. A boy on a...

My English Professor last semester was complaining to us about how the school library was charging him for losing a book he'd returned. I work in the library, so after class I did some poking around and found the book on the shelf and took it to the head librarian. It turned out it just hadn't been checked in, which was an easy enough fix. I wrote an email to the Professor letting him know that I'd "taken care of the problem" and it "shouldn't bother him anymore," signed it with my full name, and sent it.
Now might be a good time to mention that I have a very Italian name. For the rest of the semester, my roommate and classmates referred to me as the leader of the Librarian Mafia.
