Sometimes I get confused. People will cheer for you, encourage you, and keep telling you to win. Then the moment you finally do, they become distant, cold, or strangely quiet. It makes me wonder! Were they really rooting for my success, or were they only comfortable with the version of me that hadn't gotten there yet? 🤔

Last November, someone from my village got married, and the marriage ended that same day. Reason: After the traditional wedding, they were set to leave with the bride when some village boys started asking for money before they would allow the bride to go. The groom's father gave them an amount, though I'm not sure how much it was, but the boys refused. One thing led to another, and a fight broke out. They ended up beating the groom's father. The groom is based in the USA, and when he saw what happened, he rushed to the car, pulled his wife out, and said he was no longer interested in the marriage. They left immediately. The elders thought it was out of anger, so the next day they sent a group of elders to apologize to the groom's family, explaining that those boys were not acting on behalf of the community. However, the family refused to reconsider and instead handed over the bride's bag, which had already been placed in the car boot before the drama started. That was how the marriage ended before it even started.

The weekend ends too quickly because that's when time remembers it has a job. H@ppy new weeks guy

Good morning wonderful people 🤍 Only good things are allowed to happen to us today.

When my girlfriend moved to the UK in January 2025, I was genuinely happy for her, but I also worried that distance might change things between us. We talked about it several times, and she always reassured me. We have been friends since secondary school, so I believed we'd be fine. For the first month, we were always on calls. Then she gradually became unavailable, so I quietly withdrew too. One morning, I woke up to a message from her Babe, I'm sorry I had to withdraw from you. My stepmom's pastor said I should be careful with you because you're jealous of me. I read it, said nothing, and blocked her immediately. She tried reaching out ever since, but I've blocked every attempt. If someone I've known since secondary school could believe that about me, then we have no business being friends in the first place!

The reason many Nigerians survive this Tinubu economy is that we can laugh at problems that would make people in other countries book therapy! But this nob life sha!!

Today marks exactly 2 years since my eldest sister had a medical emergency that required surgery. Because it wasn't planned, she was rushed to the hospital on a Saturday to prepare for surgery on Sunday. I stayed with her that night. At some point, she asked me to get her a piece of paper. I brought it to her, and she wrote down all her crypto wallet secret phrases and handed them to me. It was such an emotional moment. She told me that if anything happened to her, I should keep it and not mention it to anyone. I already knew her ATM PIN, but this felt different. I didn't even realize when I started crying. The next morning, the doctors came, and she went in for surgery. Thankfully, it was successful. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she asked me for was the paper she had given me. The moment I handed it over, she tore it into pieces. I jokingly told her, That was my inheritance. We both laughed. I'm so grateful she made it through. I wouldn't wish such an emotional moment on anyone. It was a truly horrible experience.

A woman spent years praying for a child. People mocked her. Some even advised her husband to marry another wife. At age 44, she finally had twins. The same people who spoke against her were suddenly in her house, carrying babies and smiling for pictures. Human beings can switch sides so fast that if you're not careful, you'll mistake spectators for supporters.

Before marriage: My queen. After marriage: Mama Chibuike 😂

Someone came to my DM yesterday He: Good afternoon, Joy Me: Good afternoon, bro He: How are you? Me: I am fine. Could you please go straight to the point? He: Oh, that's fine. I am struggling to decide which niche to focus on. Could you please suggest one for me? Me: I don't know of any other niche aside from what I am doing storytelling and random thoughts He: Oh, I can do storytelling Me: That's fine, do it then He: Thanks for your time. And one more thing, could you help me with some stories to share? I am not too good at storytelling Me:

Men who still shame women for having sex in 2026 are running on outdated software. Update yourselves!!!!

Gen Z has more opportunities to make their life better, especially with the invention of the Internet

I love communication jobs, but I dey stammer!!! God looked at me and said, Let's add a little challenge to keep things interesting.😌

My cousin borrowed ₦50k from me! Just one week, he promised. Three months later, he was posting pictures from a resort in Lagos. I reminded him about my money. He replied, You know things are hard. I reacted with a laughing emoji. Because apparently, things were only hard when it was time to pay me back. Do not borrow people money you're not ready to lose!

The easiest people to sc@m and walk away free are those buying pen1s enlargement creams. Once they realize it's fake, who exactly are they going to report it to? Calling you out would mean explaining to everyone why they bought it in the first place.😂

Sometimes I dress up to remind myself that being broke and being beautiful are two completely different situations.😂
