One of my favourite compliments is non-verbal: it’s when people start smiling or laughing when they see me. Not that they are laughing at me but simply because of the happiness they feel around me🥹🥰
"Nigerian society is no longer celebrating academic excellence. It’s not even Yahøø culture anymore; now we have a 'Peller culture.' This 'Olodo' uprising we are witnessing is terrible. It feels like we are trying so hard to accommodate ignorance so people won’t feel bad, and now they seem to be the majority. The massive att@ck on Nigeria’s educational system is alarming, aside from kidn@ppings and Bøko Haram att@cks."

Once you're kidnapped and you have access to your phone, don't panic. Don't call the police.

Great question.
Yes, blood will come out if you poke almost anywhere.
But for a blood test, we don’t just need blood—we need a clean, continuous sample.
Veins are:
✅ Closer to the skin
✅ Larger and easier to access
✅ Low-pressure vessels (safer)
✅ Less painful than hitting arteries
If we “chook” randomly, we may get:
❌ Very little blood
❌ Tissue fluid mixed with the sample
❌ Bruising and pain
❌ An inaccurate test result
Think of it this way:
A vein is like tapping directly into a water pipe.
Poking anywhere else is like digging randomly in wet soil and hoping to collect enough water.
