When I had my first daughter, as you all know, my pelvic bone broke and I had a condition called ‘pelvic symphysis disfunction’. I couldn’t walk for 3 months and I was in excruciating pain.
During this period, I started physiotherapy and it was one of the worst periods of my life. I couldn’t walk, eat, sleep or do anything.
My mother in law is a retired nurse so she moved into my house. She was with me all through. My mum used to come and relieve her during the weekends. Due to the fact that the pain was mostly unbearable, my mother in law used to give me pain relief injections because I couldn’t even swallow anything because I wasn’t eating enough. My mother in law would take my daughter through the night and nurse her. For the first 3 months after delivery, I never did night duty. It was my mother in-law and my mum that used to do alternate days. She even used to bathe me when my mum wasn’t around. She will clean my CS wound for me and dress me up just like my mum would. 🥹🥹🥹🥹
There were days my mother in-law will ask me what I wanted to eat, I will say rice. She will cook it and I will burst into tears that I didn’t want any more. She will make as many things as I wanted and never complained.
Even when I had the twins, she was always there with my mum to assist me.
My mum is also a fantastic mother in-law to my sister in-law. She doesn’t snoop or add her mouth in conversations that she’s not called into. She knows her place.
I’m lucky to have a wonderful mum and an amazing mother in law.
Not all mother in-laws are terrible. I am so lucky to have her.
I have a lot of stories to share about that woman 🥹🥹🥹🥹
Ya Allah, Help me .
My Next level needs serious money, Serious one. Ya Allah increase my provision, my Rizk and bless me with lots of Barakah in good health🤲🤲🤲
Ya Allah, make me among those who rely on You completely.
Let my heart never depend on anything more than it depends on You.
Suffice me with what You have written for me and bless me with contentment. Amin
All Kidnapped Oyo School Children, Teachers Rescued
All the schoolchildren and teachers abducted during the May 15 attack on the Ahoro-Esiele community in Oriire Local Government Area of Oyo State have been rescued, THISDAY can confirm.
The victims were kidnapped when heavily armed gunmen invaded the community, abducting 46 pupils, teachers, and the principal of a secondary school, triggering nationwide concern.
The crisis took a tragic turn days after the abduction when one of the kidnapped teachers, Michael Oyedokun, was beheaded by the abductors.
THISDAY has now confirmed the successful rescue of the remaining victims. Details surrounding the rescue operation, including whether any arrests were made have not yet been disclosed.
This is a developing story…
I learnt beadmaking during my NYSC days in Lafia, Nasarawa State.
So when I got back home after my service year, I started making bead bags, flower pots and matted bags for sale alongside applying for jobs.
For context, at the time, I was already a chartered accountant with a first-class degree in accounting.
My mum would tell her friends and colleagues about my little business, and they would place orders, and I would stay up all night making those pieces for them.
Then one day, something happened.
My mum got back from work, and she said, ‘Ore, one of my friends placed an order for a bead purse; please help me make it for her’
My dad, who was also there, got instantly furious, and he said: ‘This is not my vision for her life, stop bringing her these orders, I want her to focus on getting good job opportunities’.
That was a reset moment for my mum and me. We just quietly dispersed, and it was the last order my mum ever brought me 🤣
I then refocused my time and energy on the aptitude tests I kept failing, began passing them, and landed a bank role and later a PwC role to kick-start my career.
I will double text, I will simp hard. I will make that little babyish dance when I see you.
I don't care what y'all normalise.
I love love and I'm gonna give out love.
