The way children outgrow their clothes is just not financially compatible. I now understand why parents buy 3 sizes up. The next set of clothes I will buy will be like agbada 😂
I hate that I’m doing this but I’ve been adviced to as the vendor threatened me.
On the 18th of September, I posted that I wanted a walk in skincare store on the island that sells original skincare products.
Dammy responded and recommended this vendor: Sonavine
I have an aunt that I take care of. She’s one of the few people I care about in the family. I call her when I can, and spend over an hour listening to her complain about my father. She scolds me for things I don’t understand, complains about her kids, and then thanked me for things I bought for her in 2009! I don’t even remember what those things are but she remembers. Then she tells me how she wore one of the ankara I bought for her to church and everyone complimented her.
She also tells me how people behave jealousy around her because of me. They would ask her, “How is your second daughter in America who doesn’t care about anyone else but you?”
Before I left Nigeria, she was my favorite aunt (dad’s elder sister). She wasn’t rich but I felt at home whenever I visited her. If my mum made me angry, I would go to her place.
During school holidays, I would go to her place. We all ate together from one large bowl and slept in a small room. My mum’s house was bigger and better but I loved Aunty’s place — I don’t know why. She had a small farm and I followed her there to harvest cassava and bitter leaves. She had 4 kids but I loved following her about.
This was how close we were until I traveled abroad.
When I returned to Nigeria in 2009, I called her and she came immediately. She bought German mangoes on her way. When she got to the hotel where I was staying, she said she was worried I wouldn’t accept the mangoes because people in the diaspora are cautious of who they eat from. I laughed, washed the mangoes, and began tearing them in front of her. She ate some too and we laughed. I then handed her a bag of things I bought for her and she wept in front of me.
I didn’t tell her I was leaving which made her sad because she harvested bitter leaves and cassava, dried them, and wanted to give some to me but I had already left. So she gave them to my father who had just visited too. When I got the items, there were 2 big heads of stockfish, some bitter leaves, and dried shredded cassava. The stock fish looked expensive and I was worried about the cost. They were like N500 each — and that was a lot of money for someone like her but I was grateful.
That’s the type of gratitude I expect from people. Don’t just take; learn to give the little you have and you will receive more.
How to spot a ponzi scheme
✔️There's no real asset backing it
✔️You can't simply explain it
✔️The returns are too good to be true
✔️The company runs by money changing hands from A to B
People that participate in Ponzi schemes hope they get lucky and stop

“FAITH vs MEDICINE”
(The Tragic Case Of Raphael Dwamena)
Raphael was born in Nkawkaw, Ghana 28yrs ago and like most kids born in Ghana, and like most kids had fallen in love with the round leather game, football!
He got the opportunity to pursue his dream when he joined the Red Bull Ghana Under 17 team.
It was just the start of a crazy story of “Faith vs Medicine”

Adult friendships require GRACE. They’re not ignoring you or “being weird” they’re battling something mentally. It’s not always personal because they couldn’t make your birthday. I’m sure they wanted to but finances maybe made it not possible. You have to think beyond just you.
