My brother and his wife had issues. I seriously fault my brother for what he did and told him to apologize but he kept insisting that if his wife wants to go, she should go.
His wife left the three older kids for him and went with the toddler. Two weeks later, my brother called me to join a delegation going to his in-laws house to beg his wife but I refused. When I told him to settle the issue, he refused so I have no intention of going to beg on his behalf.
His wife is back now and he is telling everyone that I was the one who advised his wife to leave him and that was the reason I refused to join the delegation.
His wife is not defending me😳
One thing that people have normalised already is thinking that having a larger audience makes one's opinion on issues always the best.
Imagine calling someone irrelevant because he has a smaller audience. That small person without a small account could be someone that same influencer cannot even match in real life.
The level of disrespect from influencers is just too much. And this is not even on X alone. It's consistent across all platforms both off and online. People listen to a rich man even when he's talking nonsense because they don't want to displease him.
This is something that needs to be corrected. It's not making sense at all. Having a larger audience doesn't make you smarter or wiser.
Above all, love God.
My son told his mama, “I peed a little.” She said, “That’s okay, baby. Let’s get you some clean clothes.” He asked, “You’re not mad at me?” She said, “Never, sweetheart.” He smiled with relief and said, “Good, because I had diarrhea too.”
There is a difference between hating cooking and being expected to cook on days when you don’t want to.
As a single woman, I rarely cook. Now I cook everyday because I must feed my home. The problem will be when I say I am tired and everyone should take tea and bread to bed, then someone will say no, it’s jollof rice or pounded yam he wants.
The day we found out our female manager was sleeping with a junior staff member, half the office wanted her fired.
I was one of them.
She was 39. He was 27. She controlled his work, had influence over his promotion, and earned almost three times his salary.
To us, the situation was simple: a powerful woman was taking advantage of a young man who couldn't afford to say no.
We called her a predator. We called him desperate. Some people even joked that he had exchanged his dignity for a better career.
Then HR called them in, and the young man opened his mouth.
What he said next made me question everything I thought I knew about their relationship.
He looked around the room and said, "Everybody keeps asking what she did to me. Has anybody bothered to ask what I did to get her to notice me?"
Nobody spoke.
And that was when the story took a turn none of us expected...
