A woman said, "My husband never says 'I love you.' Not once."
She was ready to leave.
Then one day their child became sick at midnight.
Before she could move, her husband was already dressed, carrying the child, starting the car, calling the doctor....
I told my boyfriend that I didn’t get the promotion and guy just hissed and said “their loss”
I thought that was the end of it cos we all know men don’t do emotional stuff
But last night his mum called and said “I heard what happened “ and this woman proceeded to tell me how she was overlooked 4 times too..
After the call, I texted him why and he replied
“ I didn’t know what to say, but I knew she would”

Ladies and Gentlemen,
THIS or THAT
@_is_kunta I greatly believe that if you have to tell or show to people how many books you've read and go as far as having a photo shot with these books, you're not really a reader. People who REALLY read books, don't have any urge to tell or brag about it.
Marrying right is not finding a perfect partner, it’s about two prepared people choosing each other wisely and committed to principles that makes marriage work 😊.
The most destructive piece of internet lore ever created is the phrase: "If they wanted to, they would."
It sounds empowering, but it is actually deeply narcissistic. It assumes that a person’s actions are dictated 100% by their desire for you, while completely ignoring their capacity.
A partner can desperately want to give you the world, but if they are fighting a silent financial war, battling burnout, or dealing with a health crisis, their capacity is at zero. Measuring a stressed partner's love strictly by their ability to "perform" is a lethal mistake. "If they wanted to, they would" is the fastest way to lose a fiercely loyal partner over a temporary lack of bandwidth.
"OGA, OIL NA OIL"
The last time I went to get engine oil to service my car, I met a man who came with a 2010 Toyota Corolla. I noticed he got a different oil from what is recommended for his car. I tried to educate him but he said, "Oga, oil na oil." I didn't give up.
I ensured I educated him and he was receptive and very thankful. Told me no wonder his engines kept failing after about 2-3 years. He had been driving for over 20 years but never knew what I'm about to teach you in less than 3 minutes.
I noticed that most car owners in Nigeria have a toxic relationship with their engines. They drive to a roadside mechanic, hand over some cash, and let the man buy "any oil" that comes in a bottle. Or worse, they buy the cheapest one because "oil is oil."
That is the fastest way to turn a 2022 engine into a 1998 scrap metal.
Let’s talk about those numbers on the bottle, like 5W-20, and why they actually matter for your engine.
Engine oil is like honey. When it’s cold, it’s thick. When it’s hot, it becomes runny like water. The numbers tell you how much the oil resists this change.
The 5W stands for winter. Even though we don't have snow, your engine is cold every morning before you start it. The lower this number, the faster the oil flows when you first turn on the car. A 0W or 5W flows instantly. A 20W is like cold ogbono soup. It stays at the bottom of the engine while your metal parts are rubbing against each other dry for the first few seconds. That is where 90% of engine wear happens.
The 20 is the heat rating. It tells you how thick the oil stays when the engine is screaming at 100°C. If your car asks for 20 and you put 50, the oil is too thick. It’s like trying to drink a thick milkshake or kunu aya through a tiny straw. Your engine has to work 10x harder just to move the oil around. It loses power, and your fuel finishes faster.
So, how do you know the right oil for your car?
You don't need a mechanic’s opinion for this. The answer is literally written in two places:
1. The Oil Cap: Open your hood. Look at the plastic cap where the oil goes in. Manufacturers often print it right there (e.g SAE 5W-20).
2. The Manual: That book in your glove box isn't for decoration. It has a chart that tells you exactly what grade your engine was designed to take. Although most car owners don't even have this again.
Many old-school mechanics believe that thick oil (like 20W-50) is better for Nigerian heat or older engines. This is a lie. Modern engines have tiny, microscopic gaps between parts. If you put thick oil in a modern engine, it cannot fit into those gaps.
You are basically starving your engine of blood while the mechanic tells you "The engine sounds heavy and strong." Don't fall for that.
Stop surrendering your car's life to a man who hasn't read a manual since 1994. Buy your own oil. Read the label.
Your engine is a high-precision machine. Treat it like a heart, not a waste bin.
INALEGWU.
A knife can be useful, it can also be deadly. A knife can serve a good purpose to help make you a good meal, but alas! It can also kill you if handled wrongly!
So is social media. It can make you and it can also break you!
The choice is in your hands.
Take this advice from someone who’s heard a lot of no’s… and a lot of silence.
Do your thing alone if you have to.
Put your heart into it and trust your vibe.
Keep showing up, even on the quiet days.
It might take time, but you’ll get there.
You’ll be fine.
@WizkidtheLegend He's not even talking about the "cooking." Nigga is only happy he was listed amongst top 3 most talked about person on the Grammys night. That's what his comment is referencing sha. That comment was sheer excitement from him, not displeasure.
