FamilyBack To Square One? A Quiet Encounter That Left Me Thinking… by derico(op): 7:16pm On Jul 13, 2025
A close friend shared something with me that’s been turning over in my head since I heard it. It’s not even about drama — it’s about life and how sometimes it loops you back into the very place you thought you left behind.

She got married in 2021, shortly after the COVID phase. Before that, she had ended a serious relationship — no fights, no scandals, just life not aligning. The guy wasn’t ready at the time. She moved on. He even gave her his blessing to do so.

Four years later, married with two kids, life has gotten a bit more... complicated. The family had to relocate from their more comfortable part of Abuja to a modest community setting — somewhere in Kuje — where her husband now works on a contract basis. Things aren’t what they used to be financially, but they’re managing.

Then this Sunday morning, dressed and heading out with her husband and kids, she bumps into her ex.

Same guy. Same face. Same community.
Turns out, he is also in Abuja — and seemingly at the same financial level.
And somehow, without realizing it, she’s now back in the same economic and social space she once tried to escape. Not only that — the ex now lives and breathes in the same streets.

She says she hasn’t felt the same since morning.

She’s angry — not even at the ex, but at herself.
Angry that she “moved on” only to find herself standing next to a life she thought she closed the door on.
Angry that her husband — once a ladder out of that level — has now landed them right back where she started.

She doesn’t even pity the ex. He’s just... there.
What gets to her is the realization of the distance between progress and starting over.

Now she's afraid of going out. Doesn’t want to bump into him again.
Not because of any feelings, but because she doesn’t know how to feel. It’s like her life pressed rewind on its own.

And me? I just keep thinking…
Maybe it’s not even the ex that hurts — it’s what he represents.

A life you tried to outrun.
A level you had left.

It's the haunting feeling that life might be showing you a mirror — not of who you were, or who they are… but of how little control you ever had in the first place.

What if you fall… and land exactly where you thought you left for good?

Hmmmm.
God help us!

Don't start using Soya oil to cook...what happened to the vegetable oil you grew up with?!
The weekly vodka....like do you need to be drinking weekly?!

Just imagine if Russia and North Korea doesn't hv nuk, imagine waiting America go don use their eye see.

Everyone deserves to prepare and protect her Land.
Nuke is not a shield.
It doesn't have defence mechanism.
It only has more attack potential.

HealthRe: Treatment Of Accident Victims Without Police Report. Legal Implications. by derico(m): 8:59am On Jun 23, 2025
TONYE001:
Boss, you can't blame health workers. Law in Nigeria? How many of these court laws have been disobeyed? How many extra-judicial killings have gone unanswered in Nigeria?

Even with the law, health workers are harassed, beaten, put in cells, subjected to the stress of going to court, and even labelled an accomplice. The law hardly protects them, and even if they come out innocent, it'll be after months or years of torture.

The police can fabricate anything, any claim and all that. They can cook evidence too..see, lots of things can go wrong in this Nigeria.

Don't turn this discussion into an avenue to attack health workers. You just don't know what they go through.

Sad.
That means the police are the ones that need the education.
The medical association board should champion this cause.
Fight for their people and shout it loud enough, that no police is permitted to harass them.
There should be public enlightenment and orientation for the masses...and the police.
Let it become public conventional knowledge.

HealthRe: Treatment Of Accident Victims Without Police Report. Legal Implications. by derico(m): 8:50am On Jun 23, 2025
Chinny024:
As a healthcare professional, I only help to facilitate police report by telling them to visit nearest police station. Give first aid while awaiting report with their consent.
Why?
Why give first aid and wait?
The law requires the hospital to make the report.
It is as simply as calling 911 to notify them.
It is not the hospital's duty to go to police station to write report.
Reporting to the police simply means calling to inform the police.
It is the police that have the responsibility of coming to access the situation.
HealthRe: Treatment Of Accident Victims Without Police Report. Legal Implications. by derico(m): 8:48am On Jun 23, 2025
They pretend they care...now there is a law to give you full support, yet they still claim they fear the interpretation of the law.

If the police knows it is illegal, and they do not pressure any hospital otherwise, what now is stopping hospitals from doing the needful?!

Patient loses his right to privacy, if he must get emergency priority care...and on credit.

Hehehehe....this one wants to get sacked within two hours of being hired. E say just give a "detailed computer scientists explanation".

Real life example below (not my story, just reposting)

Title: Lost job because of AI 😡

Just as the title says, I lost my job because of AI.

In my previous company we handled over 15k devices and I was instructed to carry out a delete operation across some of the 500 devices.

I quickly generated a PowerShell script on ChatGPT that did the change on a single device and it worked well.. or so I thought. I went ahead to run the script on the 499 devices and that's when hell broke loose.

Turns out it didn't delete properly so carrying out an upgrade install had devastating effects. Sad to say that we had a 10 hour downtime and company lost over $10,000.

My boss was super pissed due to three reasons;
• ⁠Carrying out change during business hours.
• ⁠Didn't do a proper UAT to ascertain the script worked correctly.
• ⁠No CR was raised to get higher ups approval.

Sad to say I was let go
You wrote this, using AI

I don't understand. Was she upset that she's watching a video or that she's recording a video? Either way she has no right to put hands on people. There's no privacy when you're out in public. You don't know how many pictures and videos you'll be in the background of.
In a shared space, you have no right to video anyone.
Right to privacy exists in confined spaces.

RomanceWhen Did You Start Taking Relationship Seriously. by derico(op): 8:02am On May 14, 2025
Most men have a free mindset...they have had their life vision planned since teenage. No matter the love, they are not thinking of marriage till a certain age. They still feel so young and hippie.
Other times, because of the drive for financial freedom, men do not think about marriage till they are nearing financial stability.
It's usually around Age and Finance.

However, I think while we are chasing the bag, once you're 30yrs as a man, and you have not attained the financial stability, you gotta cut off some distractions and indulgence, to give the hustle 100% of yourself.

Especially when it comes to dating...coz we may not want to acknowledge it, but atleast, 20% of a man's little earning, goes into relationship spending.

You don't have to cut if off, but this time, see it as an investment.
Not investment for Joyride, (you must have had plenty of that by 30) but investment in your future.
Anyone you're dating from age 30 should be your ideal wife material.
Don't waste her time and your time.

Matter of fact, stay single and grind.
You can't afford to be broke and wasting your time and resources for knacks that you will still do till death do you path.

I think for ladies, it is lower.
But it applies too.
At some point, you gotta realise that you don't want to play around anymore. Be intentional in your choices.
Don't settle for an obvious red flag, and don't be the red flag in your rship.

As a man comes to his senses and grinds purposefully, looking for well groomed lady to settle with, let him find you, as the available well groomed babe, who is not settling for red flags.

Most of the time, the young good girls are all taken.
The men know this...you see a good spec, when you go closer, you find out that she's already taken.
Men don't dull...they wife good women sharparly...especially if they catch her young.

..................
This is not the usual 30yrs old pressure o...I just think it makes some sense for men in their 30s.

At what age did you start having sense and building relationship that leads to marriage?
