Please Ma, I have a clarification to make, just in case I get lucky, & gt chosen... So, there won't be a "duplicate benefit"
Howyeh is d same bearer as Toshlek..(The latter is just an alternative moniker WC I have NEVER used here on this thread.).

Toshlek is still Howyeh!

Confession time

We wait!

Kenyan news always makes me laugh. Like , are they going to put cctv in peoples privates to know whether it's been used or not?

Danhumprey:
But Satan is not real na.

That is to show you how scary death is.

Danhumprey:
@ bolded, really? Repent by force?

You think all atheists are wuss like religious folks scared of dying?

Wawu!

Bros forget that thing. Everybody is scared of dying, even satan

Jewessgratitudd:
What the heck?
I don't trust those workers. This is an avenue for them to begin to steal and horde these materials and equipment to themselves so much so that when you go to their house, you'll see their family members having 3 pieces each. Some will even begin a side hustle with it by selling in their neighborhood.
No be government workers again? Shior!

Sister abeg no vex o. Are we in the same country? Nigerian hospitals will have enough materials such that the nurses will share for their families and even be selling in their neighbourhood? fear God o

Izigha:
kkkkkk, I am also thinking what work can a Nigeria civil servant do from home? I have an uncle who is an inspector in an agricultural ministry, am just trying to picture how he is going to work from home. Another homeboy is a driver with a state government, he wake up and drive around his house??

As in ehn! The thing weak me. Most junior level civil servants don't even have an internet enabled phone sef. Dem hear say other countries say 'work from home' ,

Plead:
You smoke weed?

Shutting down interstate land travel doesn’t make any sense.

Reason am like this: since total lockdown would cause more harm than good, restrict interstate travel for at least 20 days ( since the virus takes two weeks to manifest) while the suspected and confirmed cases are isolated. That way, states who don't already have the virus can remain free

Abeg make una no vex o. What exactly do they mean when they say civil servants should work from home?

grossintel:
They keep sneaking people in, story! People still returned from UK even as of today. Na una go die first no be us.

Exactly! Even in this dire situation, they still manage to be corrupt. May God help us

U wan buy?

HOW I SPENT MY HOLIDAYS AND MY GOALS FOR 2020

I love holidays a lot (who doesn't?) but the christmas holiday is my favorite. The preparations, decorations, street carnivals, christmas parties and of course, plenteous food makes it so appealing. I had just completed my youth service and was already bored staying at home. Plus, my mum's unending errands were beginning to drive me crazy. One day, my elder sister called and after speaking with mum for some minutes, asked to speak with me. whilst we were gisting, i hit on a bright idea
"Sis, can i come and spend christmas with you?"
She paused for some seconds and asked that i give the phone back to my mum. That was strange but i just assumed that she wanted to ask mum's permission to let me travel. Anyways, few minutes later, mum gives her permission, big sis gives her go ahead and i excitedly start packing my bags. While in my room, i overheard my mum singing one of her funny parable songs: this one talked about a foolish man who tried to cut down a plantain tree with an axe because he was in a hurry but ended up spending more time than the man who used a cutlass. Normally, i would have asked her what that meant but i was in a hurry to finish packing because i was to travel the next day.

When i got to the park the next day, i called my sister to let her know i was already on my way. The journey was smooth but traffic was really thick and slow due to the bad roads. We arrived eventually and i called my sister again but she didn't pick. I called her husband, no response. I knew my way so i took a cab.
I got to the house and met the gate locked. I knocked, no response. Tried calling them again to no avail. I wanted to call my mum but decided against it. That one can panic for Africa and i didn't want to cause any wahala. So, i sat in a shop close to the house and bought myself a cold drink. Halfway through, my phone rang and i saw it was my sister's husband. At last!

" Nooker how far? You don reach?"
"Yes bros. I've been trying to reach both of you since"
" No vex, i'm on my way back now"
Within a few minutes, he was back and i noticed that he was excited but looking like someone that had not had a bath; plus where on earth was my sister?

"Bros welcome"
" Thank God o my dear. She has finally delivered and it's a beautiful girl "

I did a double take. I didn't even know my sister was pregnant as i had not seen her in over a year. The news excited me greatly and i was about to bring my phone out to call my mum when i realised that my brother in law was saying something.
"Sorry. What did you say?"

He told me he was going to have a quick bath before going back to the hospital and that he would drop me off at the market to get some stuff. Then he dropped the shocker
" Thank you for offering to come and help. This means a lot to us"
Help ti bawo?
I called my mum and got the full gist. Turns out my sister was already at the hospital when she called the previous day and my mum was aware that she was going for elective CS based on her doctor's advice. They both had agreed that mum should travel down the next day before i opened my big mouth and offered myself as a sacrificial lamb. No wonder she asked to speak to mum after i asked her if i could come over. No wonder my mum was singing happily because she knew i would get double of the errands i was running away from. I asked mum when she was coming over and she replied that it would take at least two weeks! Oluwa! I felt my chest was about to burst.

My sister was discharged the next day and my mum actually came two days later.
It wasn't easy o. I cooked, went to the market, cleaned, washed (mum said it wasn't good to wash a baby's clothes with washing machine so i always washed them by hand) entertained guests-my sister couldn't really do much because of her condition- , took turns with my mum in carrying the baby at night so my sister could sleep. The much awaited christmas day came and i didn't even notice because everyday was the same.
Immediately, they shouted 'happy new year,' i told my mum that i needed to travel back because someone had called me about a job. From the amused look she gave me, i know she knew i was lying.

My goal for this year is to fine-tune my sewing skill ( i enrolled into a fashion school during my service year)and venture into fashion designing.

Stmema:
