for being an amazing husband and father. As his gift, a reminder that I got him a Ps4 in 2018 which still works well so he should enjoy it and think of his girls as he plays next Gen games on it. 💕💕

5 years to the day. I was reading American Gods at a Starbucks waiting for you 5 years ago today. Today, we're discussing

and who is doing daycare pick up. Lolz.
Love you hubbs.
If a boy starts pulling my daughter's hair in school, I will not accept that it's because he likes her. If he likes her, he should write her a rhyme. My son will not be encouraged to snap a girl's bra because he likes her. Use your words. 🙄
The Ghanaian people and I are shocked by the news of the destruction of the great Parisian Cathedral, Notre Dame, one of the most iconic buildings of world civilization and extend our heartfelt condolences to President
@EmmanuelMacron
and to the French people on their great loss.
Trying to hold back a cough and feeling the panic rising as the cough gears up into an angry bout clawing at your throat till you cry involuntary tears and collapse into a heap of uncontrolled coughing and flailing arms because coughs are mean and dramatic.

I was walking home one evening when i was 18, he wouldn't take no for an answer so i had to give him my number before we got too close to my house. He got saved as "Never pick up" because "don't pick up" was taken.

Where did the woman learn it from? It's available to him at that same place. We don't come retrofitted with babysitting and parenting, we learn. Something they too can try.
I'm going to start an IG page for my kids so I can wish myself a lovely happy birthday in June and reply with 🥰😭🥰 thanks dear daughters, I love you 💕.
When you see it, just pass by.
Buying eggs this morning and I remembered the time I drew faces on the eggs at my mum's shop. People returned them after purchase because they feared it was juju.😆😆😆
One of my housemates doesn't respect personal space at all. She's always trying to stand on someone's lap, put their body parts in her mouth or spit up on their chests. She's 7months old so clearly she's old enough to know better smh.
The way his face can't hide what he's thinking so I can always tell when he's about to say something he thinks is particularly hilarious. It makes me laugh before his joke even lands.
Many women do not feel safe in public spaces especially when we're by ourselves. Men, do better. You may not be touching up on women but you enable the environment when you laugh or say nothing-impliedly endorsing the act. Say something.
In the upcoming elections across Africa, we expect all sides to participate peacefully in the democratic process. Repression and intimidation have no place in democracies.

I found it to be perfectly-timed comedy and also that it rang true. Africans were colonized by White people. Agent Ross himself may not be a colonizer but his ancestors may have been. Shuri, said it matter-of-factly.
My women's health company,Poka, is running a Pap smear test campaign. We're calling it a Smear Campaign 😅

Our leaders only have use for our thumbs in elections. The rest of our bodies are disposable. They will shove us into corners shoot us to silence us. Where is the Nana Addo who sent love and light to a burning Notre Dame ?

Relationship is more important than religion. Jesus wasn't focused on the institution as much as he was on building the people up and loving them in spite of whatever flaws they had.
This year, I just want to remind you that you have life, a baby and a Ps4 and that's all you need on your birthday. (yes, I bought the Ps4 but, let's not focus on that). Happy birthday lovie,

I used to want more male than female friends because I'd grown up hearing males make better friends. I now have more close girlfriends than boys and I've had zero regrets. Women make amazing friends.
Holiday in the wild seems to take place in an ambiguous African country. Lusaka is mentioned once then the rest of the movie proceeds to refer to 'Africa' and that truly annoys me.
I thought everyone who was above 20 at the time of the new regions agreed we'd keep calling them the old names. An adult said 'it's in the Oti region' to me, I felt betrayed.

They close their eyes and count to ten in turns. They don't even bother to hide in unobvious places. One just pretends not to see the other for an unofficially agreed amount of time before exclaiming, "I found you!" It's ridiculous. I love it.
