It is in the quiet crucible of your personal private sufferings that your noblest dreams are born and God’s greatest gifts are given in compensation for what you have been through

Can you people be honest one bit🤦🏽♀️… the people who popularized pidgin are the core SS states. Those states do not have one homogeneous language like the 3 major tribes. Why will anyone from the three major tribes leave the language spoken in their region to speak pidgin?
An Izala guy looked at me yesterday and started walking towards me. I didn't wait to hear Allahu Akbar. I took off. 🏃♂️
My brother, who knows if he’s carrying an AK-47? . 😭🤣
You now start forcing yourself to eat so you don’t waste the entire thing even when you’re not hungry. Still ends up going bad cos how much can you eat. This is food you prepped to last 1 or 2 weeks
My diet/feeding arrangement has gone out the window because I'm in a race to exhaust the food in my freezer or at least minimize what I have to throw away. All of us will answer to God sha. My prayer is that the humans of ikedc and power people will answer sooner than expected
You need to experience this to understand the feeling of despondence that sometimes comes with living in this country as a young person.
This was my reality for a period till I got tired and stopped cooking.
I was in a loop of spend money, cook then trash cos of power issues🤦🏽♀️
Work up this Morning EXHAUSTED
I don’t even want to say Depressed cos at least I’m functioning.
Spent the best part of this morning throwing food from my fridge away because GUESS WHAT? There hasn’t been light.
Thousands of naira gone just like that in this not very pleasant economy.
I dunno mehn. Something really has to give at this point.
@khanofkhans11_ A surname is paperwork, not a leash. Subservience is when your voice, your money, and your choices belong to someone else. I have all three. Not knowing the difference is exactly the problem.
1. The easiest thing to know in this life is when someone is genuinely interested in you. The second easiest thing is when someone isn’t.
2. All of a sudden, they become too busy for you. You start wondering, “Isn’t it the same job they were doing in the beginning of the talking stage or relationship?” Well, they no longer like you.
3. If you don’t call or text them first, they won’t reach out. It starts to feel like they are responding to you rather than conversing with you. If you don’t call or text your babe or talking stage for the next 48 hours and they don’t reach out, you already have your answer.
4. They begin to take offense at the most inconsequential things and jokes. This is because everything you do now irritates them, and most people cannot hide their irritation to save their lives.
5. Texts start getting shorter. Calls become shorter, with excuses like being tired. This is someone who used to stay on the phone with you for four hours or text you “wyd?” in the middle of the night. Let me break it to you: while the calls and texts with you are getting shorter, those with someone else are getting longer. The new person.
6. They start making flimsy excuses whenever you want to see them. They are now too occupied to spend quality time with you. So much for someone who used to ask, “Hey, are you at home?” just to come and see you when they still liked you.
7. If you pay close attention, they start making statements or dropping hints that you should date anyone who wants to take you seriously. They may not spell it out, but they subtly begin to tell you to keep your options open.
8. Unnecessary fights and arguments become the order of the day. Every little conversation turns into a fight, leading to days of not speaking to each other until you, the person who is still the only one invested in the relationship, eventually apologise for peace to reign. A terrible thing to do, by the way.
9. Your conversations with them begin to lack substance. After “How are you doing?”, “How was your day?” and “Have you eaten?”, there is nothing else to talk about. They are intentionally becoming boring to frustrate you.
10. They go out, take new pictures, and you begin to see those pictures on social media like the civilian you have now become. This is someone who used to spam you with new pictures and even ask you to select the ones they would post.
11. They become inconsiderate and unnecessarily needy. Inconsideration is one of the easiest ways to know that someone no longer cares about you. In fact, it can be a sign of resentment.
12. They begin to personalise everything. This is someone who used to say things like, “So, what are WE going to do now?”, “WE will get through this” and “WE should go out again soon.” Now, everything becomes “I”. This is because they no longer see you as part of their future.
13. A third party enters the picture. There is now a new guy or girl they talk to all the time, someone you are obviously uncomfortable with. When you express your displeasure, they tell you how insecure you are and insist that it is not that deep. It is that deep. That person is your replacement.
14. You begin to hear absurd statements like, “You know we don’t have to talk every day, right?” or “I want space.”
15. You find yourself begging for the bare minimum: love, care, sex, attention, reciprocity, etc. This is often a result of their lack of enthusiasm towards you.
The signs are always there. Crystal clear. Human beings are not that deep. When someone likes you, you will know. When they no longer like you, you will also know. Hope just blurs the line.
Leave with your dignity when you notice most of the aforementioned signs.
In Rwanda, 71 year old Callixte Nzamwita has reportedly spent 55 years living in isolation due to an extreme fear of women.
He built a fence around his home at 16 to avoid contact and has relied on neighbors leaving food and water from a distance ever since.

Fresh grad. It’s in stages, your finances get better. As long as you’re intentional about your growth and not sitting on your hands, things will get better
You’ll be able to afford it in due time, I promise
@Mz_Tosyn I had a rich uncle who his children misbehaved too
This man legit used to tell my mum that when he dies his children from his first wife would open his grave and beat him up for how bad he would wicked them
This man died at 80 and willed all his properties to ogun state govt
Will always genuinely love people, whether it burns me or not; whether they feel the same way about me as I do about them or not; whether they treat me right or not. Cos there’s really nothing much I can do about it🤷🏻♀️
Nne are you okay? Genuinely concerned
Drop the phone, go out into the real world and interact.
Complimenting someone’s lips is not random like nice hair or sth. It has a sexual undertone that can be implied to mean that there’s some interest. He was acting on your interest.
Also, “kissable lips” thats a lie.
We were two women, you came to us, we both complimented you, and what we said was beautiful lips.
Now, you and your friends resulted to insulting i and my friend after i expressed my displeasure over your text.
If they misread your body language, show your disinterest but don’t be disingenuous or be mischaracterising someone abeg
That being said, matters of sex are dicey.
You need to read the body language right before making a proposition. Else, woe betide you & the embarrazment🤣
What’s with the outrage?
How does an adult ask for intimacy abeg? Mind reading?🤷🏻♀️
Adults hook up all the time even on first meet.
No sensible person will ask to make out if there was no precedent in convos or body language🤷🏻♀️
