In 2013, I began writing stories on WhatsApp. Now, I'm bringing them here.
Starting with one I've never told from the beginning..
the little girl at Alaguntan, Iyana Ipaja, whose stomach entered every room before her.
Ep 1 tomorrow evening 🧵

@jayhemz @VictorSamsolu Oh.. that's another angle. I'm glad you're doing great now

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

@VictorSamsolu @jayhemz I wanted to type exactly this

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

What you want,wants you. Keep moving, you'll get there

You were beaten by a snake and all you thought of was to chase the snake to explain to the snake how you feel, understand why it bit you and hope that snake understands it hurts... Really?

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

@OurFavOnlineDoc I genuinely hope he's ok

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

@Born2wi59186524 @originalproflle Yes I saw someone say this

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

@originalproflle I learnt thos video was to debunk some people saying they did so. That's why the press is there

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

@OurFavOnlineDoc We have a really long way to go. As much I'm a patriotic Nigerian, I just know Rosemary is saying the truth and we need to do better because I've been out of the country and I know how it is being there and returning back here. We adapt to anything

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

@aproko_doctor Well done

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

Then I found something that fizzed in a glass of water....

Ep 2... To be continued Tomorrow night

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

"Did you swallow a frog?"

That was the question I got asked as a 9yr old.. and honestly... I didn't have an answer 🧵

[Bashirat Bello @ToyinWrites]

Kids in school didn't hide the teasing. Sometimes, they called me pregnant girl. As for me, I'd just carry myself and go sit far away. I buried my head in shame for something no one could explain.
