When God created us, he didn’t mean for us to start doing accounting, investment banking, adjusting EBITDA, GAAP and IFRS etc. But through our sins, these woes have befallen us.

Not to be that person, but our literary/visual understanding of romantic expressions as Africans are very much defined by white standards. Yes, even in love, we are colonised.

Otherwise what concerns an African woman with hair tucking? Her Afro (or braids) don’t move that way 😭

It’s either the child is alive and Dehinde knows, or there was never a child and the other woman simply extorted him. Either way, Merry Christmas to everyone involved.

Just saw a tweet of someone saying how fortunate she was that her estate doesn’t experience flooding and people are quoting a tweet she made about 9 months ago complaining about her area being flooded.

You mean she couldn’t have moved houses in 9 months?? 😆🤦🏽‍♀️

Shyness lives at the identity level. At some point you decided you were the kind of person who is not safe to be fully seen, and every shy moment since has been you obeying that decision.

Most people think shyness is about other people. It is not. It is about the relationship you have with yourself when other people are watching. You are not afraid of strangers, you are afraid of being witnessed inside an identity you do not fully believe in. The discomfort you feel in a room is the gap between who you are pretending to be and who you secretly think you are, and that gap gets exposed the moment eyes land on you.

This is why advice like "just be confident" does nothing. You cannot perform confidence on top of an identity that does not include it. Your voice shrinks, your shoulders round, your eyes find the floor, because your body is loyal to the picture underneath, and the picture says you should not take up space.

Shyness is almost always a protection strategy from childhood. Being seen got punished at some point. You were laughed at, criticized, or raised by someone whose attention felt unsafe, and you learned that staying small was how you survived. It is an outdated survival response that nobody updated.

For most people pushing yourself into situation after situation only works on the surface. The identity underneath stays the same, and the moment your effort drops, it pulls you back to where you started. Actual change happens when you shift who you believe you are in private, since that is the version of you that shows up in public.

The shift happens when you stop trying to overcome shyness and start questioning the identity that produces it. You sit with the actual belief, that you are too much or not enough or fundamentally not built for this, and you ask where it came from. Most of the time it was installed by someone whose opinion you would not trust today, and your entire shyness is built on a foundation laid by a person who no longer has any authority in your life.

Then you build a new identity through vivid daily imagination, rehearsing the version of you that has nothing to hide, until it becomes more familiar than the old one. The behavior follows on its own.

The version of you that emerges on the other side of this is not someone new. It is who you would have been all along if you had not been busy managing how you came across.
