I remember venting to my dad one time about my mental health declining because it was so bad I started crying in the car infront of him and we hung out and did things after, just for a call about a singular school assignment and he said he regretted feeling sorry for me
That was how they wanted to "sell off" one of my students that year during NYSC, barely 16 years because the man promised to finish training her in school.
The girl came to school and was crying until she confided in one of my female corp-member, who inturn came and told me and as the CLO.
I immediately mobilized some other corp members and went to see her parents.
In defense, the parents said the man will pay her bride price, but the girl will still remain in their house till she finishes school....them been wan whine us shaa because the girl already told us that the arrangement was she'll be going during holiday to see the man in Onitsha where he based.
Not letting in slide, we reported to the Igwe, who ensured that marriage didn't happen.
News later came out that the man in question was already married but was looking for a male child so he wanted to marry this girl secretly so she'll start making babies for him.
I just saw her post recently on Facebook, she's now serving and doing well in her fashion business in Enugu.
people used to tell me that they found me very intimidating to speak to and that I came off as being really arrogant. eventually I realized that the reason there was such a disconnect between what they saw and I saw was because I was masking
There’s a lady in my office who always smells amazing.
Whenever we compliment her, one particular colleague would always say,
“Nice, but the perfume is too strong.”
Yesterday, the perfume lady finally snapped and replied,
“It’s not stronger than the odor coming from your body.”
Tell me why that same colleague came to work today smelling like she bathed in an entire bottle of perfume? 😭😭
Nascida no Afeganistão, Ayoubi foi criada como menino pelo pai:
“Meu pai nunca concordou que usássemos aqueles vestidos. Ele raspou meu cabelo e me fez viver como menino para que eu pudesse ter liberdade.”
Singapore is a unitary city-state. The entire contiguous area is Singapore. No regions, no state, no LG just Singapore.
Nigeria is a Federation of States, regions. You may be thinking of educating your people as a region or state while someone else's priority is how to get bandits to hajj.
Understanding that you’re not bigger than the program, you’re not special and people would treat you the way they want to regardless of anything.
There’s something incredibly freeing about accepting that.
This church would never talk or educate their people about politics because "Christianity=no politics" apparently. The same church members were among people selling their vote in Ekiti. They didn't address anything. It sickens me.
Now see rubbish take on insecurity.
Had a coworker get mad at me and tell me he would never interact with me at work or be cordial again because I turned him down and he “doesn’t take rejection well”. Mind you, I rejected him because he was married. Lmao
obsession was really terrifying bc one man became infatuated with the idea of a woman for years and feels entitled to her and makes a wish that she'll fall in love with him more than anyone else in the entire world
and when his wish comes true he doesn't care that she's not in control of herself while they're together and that it was not consensual. he wanted her to be devoted to him so she could cater to his unfulfilled needs until she became inconvenient.
when she becomes "too much" he wishes for her to be normal and genuinely believes he's the victim in a situation he created.
this movie has me thinking about the larger societal framing of how people view women who are emotionally reactive as dangerous and uncredible, when in reality, they are trying to deal with the trauma of being put in harmful and violent situations by predatory and abusive men.
