3 years in! 🎉🥳
From imposter syndrome to leading cross-functional initiatives with confidence.
Grateful for the growth, grit and every challenge that sharpened my skills.
Here’s to building better systems, teams and outcomes.
And also to more work trips 😂
Wasn’t aware that China passed a law banning arranged marriage, part of a social engineering project to free women from cultural shackles so that they could contribute more to the economy. You can argue that this instrumentalises women. It does. But the end result - more agency and far more choices. Economic and social.
Until he starts billing you for food and asking for £200 every week..
The one my friend dated borrowed £600 from her and didn’t pay back until she took him to court 😂
Why are Nigerians obsessed with “forgiveness” ? They are willing to ask others to forgive the most heinous of crimes - there’s no space for consequences.
This week is too sweet for Nigerian women! 🤣
From some useless married men being publicly disgraced, to a banger boy ending up in prison.
We just dey chop, dey chop! 💀
Everyday on this app I realize I go tey for house.
You want to torture me with silence keh???
Me that kept malice with my mother for 3 days without even touching her food even water at 12yrs old???
It didn’t even help that I was a weak child,I preferred dying
I was staggering but I refuse to say a word to her till she apologized,I’ll mute you like you don’t exist!!
You want to not eat my food???
Me when first lazy,no more cooking
You want to send me to my father’s house?😂😂😂😂 the fathers house where my uncle went to return bride price after 3months because the new husband was maltreating her????
Mind you she married at 32!!!
Threaten me with divorce,my lawyers will reach you first🫠
Marriage when I no first send
I’ll treat a good man right but if you can’t talk about issues like a grown adult then miss me with those tantrums,loneliness doesn’t scare me
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.
In Hannah Arendt's Banality of Evil, there's this part it talks about a Jew who had gone through the holocaust, he came into the room as a witness against Adolf Eichmann, one of the executors of the final solution.
When he got in, he saw the man and fainted. When asked later...
