Let me share a short story, and I'll tell my wife for the first time today.
Some years ago, a married woman from the southeast of Nigeria approached me at a bar.
She told me that she had been noticing me because she lived close to the bar.
She came to Lagos and left her husband in the east with their children.
She narrated her ordeal to me, and that her husband asked her to move to Lagos to squat with a single male relative of hers and to find a job.
I'm trying not to reveal too much here.
She was very polite and didn't even come to have a drink or sit out.
So I asked her if she had found something to do. She said she cooks food and sells it by the roadside, but barely makes enough to support her family back in the east.
I don't know what touched my heart, but I took pity on her.
Remember when I made a post about women who hawk "Abacha" in marketplaces? Her story inspired it.
She told me that she wanted to move towards Alaba area so she could be making Abacha to sell to the traders there.
And she needed a truck to be pushing it around and little money to share the rent with someone that had promised to accommodate her.
I obliged her and gave her more than she said she needed.
A few weeks ago, this woman sent me pictures of herself and her children in a decent apartment around that area.
She had built and nurtured that business and had someone else who also hawks for her.
I asked about her husband; she said he refused to join her in Lagos, but they're still married.
I have not seen her again since that night at the bar.
End.

Mama's prayer alone will help me get caught if I even venture into it....

Someone's future wife.
Shame of a generation.

Were is d dignity in Labour & doing d right thing.
Jst imagine bringing home money gotten frm dis 2 give 2 my mom.. Wen before she receives the money or gift, she will say wat Eva gud u are doing to get this, it will grow but if it's evil may b caught and exposed.
@OdidikaKingsley@ObimmaCharles91@chude__ that u should as the Bible said "If ur hands will make u to sin.., Cut it off". That was the basic root of putting the TV away & no one called it an evil box or banned it. Few Members decided to put it the best way they can understand and all that.
@OdidikaKingsley@ObimmaCharles91@chude__ That it will be funny wen u have no control over them & it will not be logical for u to start pretending like u don't see them or may be turning off ur TV at that scene. So instead of allowing those scenes to get ur heart filled wit thoughts of sin...
@Bcliffzzz@chude__ This one na u sabi. I early years on life was in DL and am happy I was brought up through that modeling. Am thankful to my guardian for letting me take those timely corrections. Now I look back and smile. Serving the Nation and God with all sincerity
