Woke up this morning to go about my merry way only to find that my beautiful car, my baby, was no longer on my driveway. My car had been stolen overnight. On this 8th day of a new year o. My first reaction was na wa o, they didnโt even let me finish new year waka. I nearly 1/
Childhood conditioning maybe? Natural shyness? Autism? Social anxiety? Stuttering or literally not being able to get the words out? None of which are reasons to hate.
The fact that Kanye is doing this openly and getting away with it, makes you think about all the women who get harassed for trying to leave and what they could be going through.
Iโm actually sooooo thankful because honestly Iโve not been in the best mental space and dealing with losing my car would have been the worst. Anyway Iโve decided that my year has just started and Iโm reclaiming this year same way I reclaimed my car, so happy new year to you all!
and got in. They had broken the steering wheel to get the wheel lock off and ransacked the car but when I tried it started. Brethren, I carried my car o. I got in and drove to my house. I was my own police, my own recovery person. In fact Benoit Blanc no do pass me. 5/
Met police have marked it as a solved case but they had better put my name down as the โsolverโ. Theyโve been talking about forensic evidence etc but I know itโs not going anywhere. 6/
It's so important to have a life outside your partner no matter how much you love each other. Have your own friends, your hobbies, your me time... be your own person.
Next time you feel the need to shame someone for how they look, think about the fact that your comment can stay with them for the rest of their lives and cause them a lot of pain.
If someone loves you, you see it in how they consider you. They think about the things that matter to you because you matter to them. Even when they donโt like said things or necessarily understand them, they do not just disregard your feelings or your wants.
laughed out loud because this year was already showing itself and I was like on top of everything? Anyway, I rang the police and reported the theft. I brought up CCTV footage and was watching these merry fellows make away with my car. And then I remembered that my app has my 2/
The (not so) funny thing is that Nigerians, as a people, forget. Itโs only been 6 years, and GEJ is already a โgood presidentโ that wasnโt given a fair chance. This is exactly how Buhari came back into power, but theyโre failing to see the irony.
Itโs crazy how much of your life is just pure luck. The family youโre born into, the country even, your looks, your body, your genes, all down to luck and you have to make it all work.
car last trip location. So I looked it up and gave the police and they said someone will go within 48 hours. 48 whole hours! As in 48 x 60 minutes. Long story short I went to the location myself. I didnโt know what to expect and I canโt even lie I was scared af. When I got 3/
there, there was someone standing watch over the car and smoking, so I called the police again. Luckily I had my keys, and when I tried the car unlocked. The man was watching me and I was watching him but the police were on the phone so I had small courage. I unlocked the car 4/

In secondary school, I got my friend to come and take us out in my mom's car when she travelled. Thieves stopped us in front of the house and stole the car. My only saving grace was that they hit my friend's head with the gun and he ended up in the hospital.
Unpopular opinion: I think people would have healthier and happier marriages if it wasn't expected to last forever. If both parties understand that it would only last as long as it works for them Both, it would change how they both treat the marriage and each other.
Nearly 60 years of men ruling the country into the ground hasn't stopped men from being fit to run, but one woman withdrawing from the race means women now need to prove themselves more? Oh the patriarchy.
A lot of Nigerians need to learn how to disagree without being disrespectful. Most of the time, a difference in opinion on simple unimportant things descends into verbal abuse.
I'm not ashamed that I set regular reminders on my phone for random things. To call my friends, to reply emails, just added one to record random stuff. There's so much going on that it's easy to forget.

100% this. Doing it for you is the best thing because people are fickle af. Today they like this, tomorrow they don't. If you like it, you're good. There will always be people who like or don't like how you look.
Thank everyone for your very kind words. I was referring to the manufacturerโs app not a special tracking app. It just happens that Lexusโs app has the functionality to track your car but I think only for new cars. Muting this thread now, but thank you โค๏ธ

They probably don't want to put you on pain meds while you're pregnant (nothing stronger than paracetamol). You may also need xrays etc which again they try to minimise during pregnancy. Except if it's something major, it'll have to wait.
@tosynshawty
Ok. There was no context in your first tweet, but bear in mind that it's more difficult for some than others. Some of them want to speak but just can't for any of those reasons. Nobody likes to be oppressed.
People are aware that things are not going to change just because the date on the calendar has changed. Time is a social construct but we have to live in hope that tomorrow will be better than today. Itโs the hope that keeps us going.

Lmaoooo I remember one time this guy who was moving me (at work) said โyou didnโt even ask me to join youโ, then casually picked up a spoon and started eating before I even responded. I was so shook, I left the rest of the food for him and he ate it. I never spoke to him again.
The way luck impacts so much of your life is a bit maddening, because there are some things you can literally do nothing about. Youโre either lucky or unlucky. You could do everything right and still be unlucky.
Can't believe my family are planning a trip to Dubai for my mom's birthday and now girls trip is looking like Dubai too. I don't want to go to Dubai three times this year abeg. ๐ฉ
One thing that nearly going out of your mind teaches you is that happiness doesnโt have to come in a big fancy package. You take the little pockets of happiness wherever you find them, even when you know itโs temporary. Enjoy the now.
It's what tells me that you've been listening to me. Getting me random stuff just because I might like it or stuff I'm into makes me feel seen and loved. Best feeling.
People who have โreceiving giftsโ as their key love language donโt always like telling people, for fear of appearing superficial. But this love language is often misinterpreted. For many people, itโs not about the extravagance of the gift. Itโs about the sentimentality...

Scrimmmm! I thought a party for someoneโs nieceโs graduation was OTT. The niece was in the US and was graduating from high school, we were dancing tungba in London. ๐ญ๐ญ
I'm going to make a thread of food pictures because food makes me happy.
Here's some Seafood Okro I made yesterday. There's ponmo in it because what's mixed Okro without ponmo? There's also salmon ycrab claws and prawns and mussels.
This thing makes me feel sick. You can tell your kids things to keep them safe like donโt join gangs, donโt do drugs, donโt hang out with questionable people. Do you also say donโt go to school? Donโt get the bus? Donโt tell a boy your age that youโre not interested in him?
@t0nit0ne
That love is intentional, it's not just a feeling. It's the actions you take every day to make the ones you love feel cherished, valued, seen and safe.
My friend and I went shopping for NHS staff and key workers in our neighbourhood who didn't have time to shop before the craze started. It was gruelling and frustrating and we didn't get everything on their lists, but the smile on their faces was worth it.

I say this all the damn time. We let the gratitude factor hold us back sometimes. "Small me gets to work at XYZ company" so we act like we owe them. They chose you for your skill/knowledge /experience and the value you can add to their company.
I'm the exact opposite of this. I have no desire to live in Nigeria permanently. I just want to be able to dip in whenever I fancy some actual pounded yam or amala olaiya.
I actually have no intention, interest or desire to leave Nigeria permanently. Am I too used to nonsense?
I honestly just want to be able to dip whenever I feel like it.
1. Learn to talk about your achievements and what you've done. Boasting is allowed in the workplace.
2. Putting yourself forward for opportunities and stepping out of your comfort zone will get you far.
3. Pay secrecy only favours employers.
To me itโs love, respect, holding you accountable, a safe space to be yourself, laughter, support, healthy conflict, showing up, trust, respecting boundaries.
I've learnt in the last couple years that the ability to take your L and move on is mad underrated. Once you know this, you'll be more open to taking chances and enjoying experiences you would have otherwise missed.
Lmao I tweeted this and a couple of days later someone called me with a job offer! ๐ญ๐ญ Itโs a promotion and exactly the job I needed and wanted and I started last week. Iโm so happy and thankful ๐๐ฝ
I want my next job to fall in my lap. A recommendation from someone I used to work with, an opportunity someone knows Iโm perfect forโฆsomething. Iโve been building a network for years, I need results now abeg.
Human beings will not want to be treated unfairly but will go out and treat the next person in the exact same way they didnโt want to be treated. Wild!
It's not a good look to never give your friends gifts sha. It doesn't even have to be something expensive and all the time but how can you have a friend for 10+ years and you've NEVER given them a gift?
