My husband is the least financially successful among his siblings, but what his family did for us recently brought us to tears.
He used to work with one of the banks in Nigeria, but lost his job when the bank's operating licence was revoked after it failed to meet the Central Bank's regulatory requirements.
Things became really difficult for us after that. I had to take up the full financial responsibility of the family, but that wasn't even the issue.
My husband gradually became the person everyone in his family called whenever something needed to be done.
His younger brother is a medical doctor, his elder brother lives abroad with his family, and his sisters are all married and doing well.
When his sisters got married, he was the one who cleaned the family compound. Everyone said he was the only one available.
Even when my sister got married, he helped set up the canopies. He told me it was the only way he could contribute since he couldn't support us financially.
When Papa fell sick, everyone agreed that my husband should take care of him. As usual, he was the only one available.
He did it happily, always praying that God would make a way for him someday.
Earlier this year, Papa passed away. He was buried according to tradition in August 2026.
Then came the day his Will was read.
What happened that day is something I will never forget.

A good number of the arguments made against cohabitation can be made against getting married, and there is so much cognitive dissonance in this discourse because folks believe the marriage institution will somehow legitimize or shield them against the labor and disrespect

!!! This has always been my stand
If its for personal values and morals, yes. But if its otherwise, then everything can still happen in marriage

When I got laid off from Microsoft, I got into a company in Lagos that felt paying 600k naira a month was doing me a favour. I had to take the offer to keep body and soul together.
Was there for 6 months until I fell out with the MD and started looking out. That was when I started my training outfit but couldn't quite get traction.
Anyway, after leaving this NGO, I spent another 5 months in the wilderness, literally. Ate rejections almost every other day. Was living on the goodwill of friends and relations. Basically wondering what to get out of life.
An Antler rep came knocking at the time and was in the process of fast tracking my application to the Antler cohort at Kenya. Guess what? My passport had expired. Ran to go fast track my passport, after a few days emailed the partner but was told it was too late.
I remember laying in my room laughing hysterically, mulling to myself, "who I offend?"
Thankfully at that time, I applied to Andela and the process started for another 2 months. I got into Andela and my monthly salary was my previous annual salary. This trend continued in a subsequent company. Use am run one or two that year.
But the point is, while I was enjoying this new reality, I asked myself, "why did you worry all those times?" In hindsight, there was no reason to. I should have just chilled for 5 months, enjoyed myself.
But we are human and can only understand life in hindsight. As long as you believe this it will work out for you: EVERYTHING will turn out better than you expected, just stop worrying.

Please do it for the woman that pretended to be mad and hid her daughter in a ditch so she won’t be taken, do it for Pelumi Onifade, the victims of EndSARS massacre, the victims of Owo massacre, our brothers and sisters in the North that we don’t even get to hear of

Everyone is talking about how she was an incompetent pilot(trash talk btw) and I'm here marveling at how much work she must have put in to become a pilot at twenty.🥹
May God rest her soul.

URGENT PUBLIC APPEAL
I never imagined having to make a post like this, but I desperately need your help.
On October 31, while covering a wedding at Oriental Hotel, Lagos, my bag was stolen from inside the bride's room.
The bag contained my MacBook Pro M1 and
FOUR external hard drives holding approximately FIVE weddings yet to be delivered to my clients.
These are not just files. They are people's once in a lifetime memories, months of hard work and my livelihood.
Thankfully, we have obtained CCTV footage showing the individual entering, taking my bag and leaving the hotel.
I'm offering a N500,000 REWARD for credible information leading to the identification of this individual and recovery of my belongings through the appropriate authorities.
Please you can send a message or call this number for any update 09033892670
Please guys help me repost abeg, this is very important please. 🙏🏾

He did not even throw it away discreetly. He flung it with reckless abandon. Typical of a low-quality elite.

You’d think this video was Rayne’s idea… nope! It was all mine!
I pray I get to dance around the world with my offspring for many more years.
