I learnt this from my uncle.
He and his ex fiancé had issues. He went to her family house to plead with her.
Her parents were present, he went there with just his friend. Another heated argument started as they both narrated their sides of the story.
My uncle kept quiet because he was in the midst of his to-be in-laws. The girl continued running her mouth until she pointed a finger to my uncle and said, "eleyii naa."
That statement changed everything.
My uncle said, he stood up, thanked his ex parents, and told his friend to meet him in the car. He left.
Later, everyone pleaded with him later to forgive the girl. The girl too pleaded. They got back together, but he told the girl he'll never marry her.
She thought he would change his mind, so she got pregnant. He took care of the pregnancy and accepted the child. But he never married her.
Years later, he married someone else.
Gentlemen, when someone misbehaves, do not react so angrily that your response overshadows the initial misbehaviour and now becomes the issue.
Don’t end up being the one needing to apologise when you were initially the victim of bad behaviour.
Be clear that you will not accept or tolerate the misbehaviour, but be measured in how you express your disapproval. This is especially important when you are in a position of authority over the other person. It is also especially important in your relationship with your woman.
I am Ezemmuo. I know things.
If I wanted to maintain my current standard of living, but in Nigeria, it would cost too much to be realistic.
Nigerian prices are way too expensive in USD terms despite having such a devalued currency, and I don't understand how everyone is quiet.
That country is stupidly expensive for no reason at all🤷🏾
@ruffydfire It could be staged to make it seem we are all unsafe while letting the common man's children suffer in the bushes without attention.
These ones will be released in no time. Just watch.
@UnkleAyo Three things: 1)They were never kidnapped. They just formed it to make it seem the security issue is also affecting them. 2)They were truly kidnapped and rescued. Meaning, they don't care about the ordinary citizens. 3)It was a political stunt.
You have a right to be foolish, I wouldn’t judge you for that. I have been foolish long enough to learn not to condemn the fool. But you have no right to be evil, and to support a continuation of Nigeria in its current form, is to be complicit in the evil that it is..
Karma does not exist. It’s an outlandish concept made up by those too weak or simply incapable of exacting revenge.
If you don’t take destiny into your hands, your oppressors will go scot free right before your eyes, dem go enjoy pass u sef.
Life no be Nollywood.
3 years from now, when you're fingered in a crime or stopped at the airport as you're about to travel -
As you stand in awe with bangles on your hands knowing fully that you're innocent, please remember,
Remember that in 2025, you gave Ayilori your NIN and BVN to win a laptop.
I believe one of the best ways to improve your vocabulary beyond reading books is to watch movies. Not just any movies, but movies with depth, movies that care about language, movies that have something meaningful to say.
I cannot count the number of rich words and phrases I picked up while watching Black Bag. It felt as though every scene required me to pause, look up a word or phrase, then continue watching. I am currently watching Slow Horses and I have found myself exposed to an entirely different set of words, particularly British expressions and slang.
The trick, however, is that hearing a word once is rarely enough to incorporate it into your vocabulary. You have to actually use it. For example, I recently came across the phrase “hair of the dog,” which refers to drinking alcohol to cure a hangover. A friend mentioned having a hangover yesterday, so I deliberately worked the phrase into our conversation. Even writing about it now further reinforces it in my mind. I have found that vocabulary grows fastest when words move from passive recognition to active use. If you’re looking to expand your vocabulary, it is a habit worth cultivating.
