When I was younger, we had a lot of help in the house.

We had a cook, a nanny for my younger siblings, a gateman and a cleaner.

Our cleaner wasn’t a live-in. She came three times a week—Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

She was a really nice woman. Whenever she came to clean, she would usually bring snacks for my siblings and me, so we really loved her.

One Saturday morning, she came to clean the house as usual.

She finished her work and left.

The next morning, very early on Sunday, she showed up at our house again.

That was strange because she never came on Sundays.

She told my parents she had come to collect her payment.

My parents were surprised because she normally collected her money at the end of the month.

My dad asked her if she no longer wanted to work for us.

She said no, she just needed her money.

My dad said okay, went inside and gave her the money.

She thanked him and left.

My mum couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

She tried calling the woman after she left, but she didn’t pick up.

So my mum called her husband instead.

And that was when everything changed.

Her husband told my mum that she was dead.

She had died the previous day.

She had been hit by a hit-and-run vehicle on Saturday, and she died on the way to the hospital.

My mum was too shocked to even speak.

Because according to her husband, she had already died on Saturday.

Yet she came to our house on Sunday morning.

She came in.

She spoke to my parents.

She collected her money.

And then she left.

When my mum finally told us what had happened, shivers ran through my spine.

Till today, I still think about that Sunday morning.

@Coach_Obinna Exactly, imagine leaving all that money behind and nobody knows how to access it.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

A friend of mine thinks having a password on your phone is actually a bad idea.

She lost her brother some years ago, and when they tried to unlock his phone, they couldn’t. They tried everything, including getting his iCloud password, but nothing worked.

Till today, she still feels hurt about it.

She believes that if they had been able to access his phone, they might have found something that could have given them answers about what happened to him.

Since then, she has always said that everyone should make sure their family can access their phone in case something happens to them.

I honestly never thought about it that way before.

Would you want your family to have access to your phone if you pass away, or do you think your phone should remain private?

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@Coach_Obinna I agree. I think having at least one person know it makes sense.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@oluebubewrites Yeah, it’s not a bad idea. At least one person you trust should know it.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@Jimjimzay I understand this. I’d probably do the same,let one trusted sibling know my phone password rather than leaving everyone completely locked out.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@mayorde4you2 Same here .I don’t think anyone in my family even knows my phone password.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@mayorde4you2 lol I don’t even know what to call it .

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

I just remembered something I did years ago and I honestly can’t believe I did this 😂

I was still dating my ex at the time and it was my birthday. He told me he didn’t have any money to give me because he was broke.

So I went shopping with my own money. I bought new clothes, shoes, bags and two new wigs.

I then contacted a surprise vendor and asked them to decorate a hotel room for me. They put balloons everywhere, arranged everything I bought, made a big money bouquet, added fresh flowers and basically gave me the whole birthday surprise package.

Everything was fully paid for by me 😂

On my birthday, I got dressed, paid for my makeup and went to the hotel.

When I got there, I acted surprised like someone else had planned everything for me 😭😂

I took pictures and posted the whole thing on all my socials with the caption:

“Thank you to my man ❤️”

Meanwhile, I was the man. 😭😂

@crisantos_tom Exactly. Not everything needs to be announced. Let the results speak when the time comes.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@TheLowkeyMummy I wouldn’t go back to beg her. I’d have a serious conversation with my fiancé first. If he also believes cheating is normal, I’d rather cancel the wedding than enter a marriage with that mindset.

[Kéne @AtuanyaKene]

Sometimes your life changes quietly. No announcement. No dramatic ending. You just wake up one morning and realize you don’t want the same things anymore.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@AtuanyaKene This is actually true. Sometimes you just wake up and realize you’ve changed. The things you used to want don’t matter to you anymore, and that’s okay.

[Dear Woman. @Dear_Woman1]

Dear women,
A woman who knows how to communicate clearly will save herself from many unnecessary problems.
Don’t hint when you can ask.
Don’t assume when you can clarify.
Don’t expect people to understand what you’ve never expressed.
Good communication is a life skill.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@Dear_Woman1 This is so true. Sometimes we expect people to just know how we feel, when we haven’t even said it clearly. Just ask, speak up and communicate. It saves a lot of unnecessary stress.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@mayorde4you2 Honestly, I would be pissed .You’re always in my house, using my things and my fuel, but when it’s time to contribute, suddenly it’s not your house?

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@mayorde4you2 Gentle parenting has definitely changed a lot of things. Now parents are negotiating with their own children. It’s a different generation for sure.

[Sonari ౨ৎ @itsSonari]

@mayorde4you2 Honestly, I’d be scared for my life. But I also wouldn’t lie and let my friend suffer just because the person is my brother. I’d find a safe way to handle it.

[MAYOR 🇳🇬 @mayorde4you2]

You witnessed a crime. The victim is your friend, and the thief is your brother.

The victim is of different tribe or nationality as you the witness.

The thief thr£atened your life, if you point at him.

What would you do in this situation?

[Kemi🤎 @TheLowkeyMummy]

I noticed that some women don’t actually want advice after telling you about their relationship.

They want you to confirm that their husband is terrible.
Because the moment you suggest they take responsibility for their own choices, suddenly you’re “not being supportive.”
