When I was about seven years old, I represented my school at an event. As my father dropped me off at the venue, he asked me if the school was bringing me back home. I said yes, that the school had arranged for a bus to take me home and he didn't need to come back for me.

Interesting, this tradition that demands that you inherit your brother's property, and not his debts. It doesn't tell you to care for your brother's orphans and widow. It gives you the right to only take and not give. Such a hollow tradition. Sounds like a tradition of thieves.

Women: We've been sexually assaulted. Men: We've been sexually assaulted too. When will you talk about us? Terry Crews: I was assaulted. Men: Big man like you? You let it happen. You must have wanted it. Why didn't you speak up since? You're not serious. Such a pick me.

Dear Guys, Men's shirts are made long for a reason; so women can wear them as short dresses. Wearing it makes us feel closer to you, especially if your cologne is on it. Talmbout, "Babe, stop wearing my stuff. Your boobs have stretched my shirt." Our shirt, plis dear.😒

You, a man, really do cross the street if you see three girls walking in your direction? Terror strikes your heart if a girl is walking behind you as you stroll home at 7pm? You hesitate to board a cab at night with two girls seated behind and one girl in front? LMAO!!!

When the event ended, I couldn't find any of my teachers. The only classmate I found, her parents came for her. Turns out, there was no bus; everyone had left on their own. Despondent and terrified, I squatted down on the steps of Sacred Heart Cathedral and quietly began to cry.

The problem began when we were taught not to view them as what they are: PUBLIC SERVANTS. They taught us to call them Daddy, Mummy, Boss, Chief, etc. So, we'd have to beg and grovel for basic amenities we pay for and revere them rather than demand for accountability. #EndSars

Dear Nigerian make up artists, See how Meghan Markle still looks like Meghan Markle. Not an example of the Transformation Agenda many of you carry out on the faces of our women. Take note. #royalwedding

...be lazy. How do I even know that you're not the one who chased her away? You've made her talk so much, she's now uncomfortable in her own home. This was your plan, abi? It won't work! Let me go and call my wife." *Storms out and slams bedroom door*

Some of our parents have realised the errors in the way they raised us and are trying to reach out, apologise and make amends. If yours do and you want to reconnect, don't let anyone dissuade you. Meet them halfway. Forgive. Choose love over anger & enjoy them while they're here.

How was I going to get home? My house was far away. I didn't know the way, being that I was a child who was chauffered everywhere. Why had I not just told my dad to come for me? As I squatted there crying, I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me. The voice of my father.

Years ago, my father said something to me that was a teaching moment. A former tenant had owed rent for almost three years. Then his light disconnected by NEPA. When they left, he began to tap light illegally. If NEPA came for an inspection, my father would have to pay the bill.
