There was a guy in our office everyone avoided. He never joined birthday contributions. Never contributed to weddings. Never donated whenever someone had an emergency. Whenever money was being raised for anything, his answer was always the same: “Sorry, I can’t.” After a while people stopped asking.

Some called him stingy. Others said he was selfish. The funny thing was he wasn’t rude about it. He just never gave. One day, a colleague got married and invited the whole office. Most people attended. He didn’t. That became another reason for people to talk about him:

My neighbor won the lottery.

Nothing crazy just enough money to change his life.
The next morning, he still left for work at 6 a.m.

Everyone thought he was humble.
Three weeks later, we found out the real reason.

My daughter knows I love her deeply, but I don't hesitate to discipline her when she crosses the line. Last night, after a serious talk-down, I sent her upstairs to her room.

Tell me why this little girl woke up this morning and one of the first things she asked was, “Dad, why didn't you come upstairs to pray and kiss me last night?”

We spent almost ten minutes talking about what happened the previous night, and the girl calmly told me she was wrong, but that I was wrong for not coming upstairs to pray and kiss her.

Once again, I got reminded that we shouldn't be so angry with the people we love that we stop showing them love and care.

There was a guy in my area who won ₦16 million from betting when he was just 15 years old.

His mum sold garri and gave him ₦3,000 to deliver garri to a customer. Instead, this boy used the money to place a bet.

I still remember that evening. The moment he realized he had won, he ran to the front of their house screaming and, out of excitement, scattered his mum's garri everywhere. The whole neighborhood came out to celebrate. His father almost had a heart attack when he heard the amount: ₦16 million!

Not long after, they moved out of our area to a better neighborhood, and today his mum owns one of the biggest garri stores in Port Harcourt.

Sometimes I think about it and laugh.

Imagine if that ticket had cut.

Dem for flog craze comot for him body 😂

- Tolu stole N5,000 from her parents but she couldn’t just start spending it freely in school without teachers or classmates asking where she got the money from.

- So, on her way to school she bought pens and started selling them to her classmates.

- Now, the money appears legitimate because everyone believes Tolu is making money from selling pens. She can now buy food and snacks without suspicion.

My dad banned everybody from touching the fridge at night because food kept disappearing.

For one week, this man turned into a security guard.

Every midnight he’d sit in darkness waiting to catch the ‘thief.’

One night around 2am, we heard shouting from the kitchen.

Everybody ran out expecting drama.

Only to find my dad holding bread in one hand and stew in the other.

My mum just looked at him and said ‘So you’ve been chasing yourself all this time?’

The worst part is this man still tried to deny it with bread in his mouth..

[YUA @creative_yua]

There's one guy in my area people think is a Yahoo boy.

He's always in nice clothes, has a sleek Lexus car, and always at home. No office to go, and no visible business.

To make things worse, the guy hardly talks to anybody. If you greet him, he'll just smile or nod his head and pass.

So people have a lot of opinions about him.
“Poud boy.”
“He's definitely into fraud.”
“He go dey just dey go. He no go greet anybody.”
“No legit work fit make person dey house like that.”

The backbiting on the street was just constant.

The funny thing is, the guy is not even a Yahoo boy, and he's also not an arrogant person at all. I know this because I'm a little close to him.

He's just naturally shy and awkward around people; so he always prefers to just go his own way gently.

He's also working remotely for foreign companies, so he earns in dollars.

One thing I've observed in life is that people backbite too much over things they don't understand.

In 2023, I was stranded in Oshodi while coming back from an interview. No cash, no money in the account. Phone at 4%. Rain was beating me black and blue with no hideout.

I posted: “Please, is anybody around Oshodi? My phone is about to go off and I’m stuck at Arena Junction. I need 2k for transport to get back home. I’ll pay back tomorrow. No jokes please.”

I tagged three of my closest friends, people that called me “sister” on birthdays.

First reply was laughing emojis. “LMAO, you don finally cast.”
Second reply: “Omo, trek am, exercise.”
Third person saw it and posted a meme two minutes later.

My phone died. I sat on a bench laid across the walkway, soaked, watching Lagos run past me, thinking this is how it ends for two thousand naira.

After a few minutes, a car parked close to where I was. The car windows rolled down and a voice asked, “Are you Ireoluwa?” I nodded. “One guy say make I carry you go Abule Egba. E don pay.”

I got in without thinking twice.
Halfway, my phone buzzed on the driver’s power bank. A DM from a stranger I never followed:
“Hey there, I saw your post. I really don’t know you but I know that feeling. Bolt is paid to your street. Get home safe. No need to pay back. Just help someone else one day when you can.”

I got home and checked his page. He’d been job hunting for three months and was probably broke. But he sent me a ride and some money. Now we are good friends even though we have still never met.

My friends with jobs posted me for cruise.
A stranger with nothing posted me for life.

That night I learned friendship doesn’t define family. Sometimes your lifeline is the person you’ve never met.

Only those who witnessed Chelsea vs man united champions league final have truly witnessed football club fan culture in Nigeria. All the buses had their flags up, cows were painted club logos and slaughtered, Bars were filled up from noon, the whole streets were empty till the final whistle.

1. The chainsaw was originally invented to aid in childbirth.
2. Facetious is the only English word with all five vowels in order
3. The longest 1-syllable word in English is STRENGTHS
4. Your stomach gets a new lining every few days. This prevents it from digesting itself.
5. There are more stars in the universe than there are grains of sand on Earth

6. The Catholic Church put a dead body on trial in the year 897. Pope Stephan VI put the body of the deceased Pope Formosus on trial. He was, unsurprisingly, found guilty, and his body was thrown into the Tiber River. His body was recovered. There was a major uproar over it, and Pope Stephan was quietly retired (garroted in prison in the summer of 897). Pope Formosus’s body was eventually reburied in the original St. Peter’s Basilica. The church ruled that you had to be alive to be put on trial.

7. Cats can understand our languages, but they usually don't care.
8. It’s impossible to bite down on something. You can only bite up, because your mandible is the only movable part of the skull.
9. Every letter 'C' is pronounced differently in 'Pacific Ocean.'
10. Race car spelled backwards is race car 😉
