I met Tunde when I was 26. He was my first love, the man who made me believe in forever. We spent 11 years together, sharing dreams, laughter, and countless secrets. He disvirgined me, and I believed in our love so deeply that I sacrificed everything for him, even enduring the pain of aborting pregnancies six times because he wasn't ready to be a father. But now, at 37, I face the harsh truth my body can no longer carry a child. Tunde, ever the sweet talker, promised marriage, insisting that I had been the foundation of his success. I supported him through thick and thin, helping him rise in his career. But on the day of our traditional engagement, everything fell apart. His parents revealed in court that another woman was pregnant with his child, and they were already planning a wedding for him and this new woman. I was devastated, but my siblings urged me to continue with the marriage. "You've come too far to turn back now," they said. Torn between their...

Image
Sometimes, a vendor (someone you buy from) might suddenly ask you to pay more money than what you both agreed on. This is called a price hike . In Nigeria, this can happen because things like fuel prices or the value of money (Naira) change a lot. When a vendor does this at the last minute, it can cause problems for your business. Here’s how you can handle it: 1. Check Your Agreement    - Look at the Deal You Made : Go back and check the agreement or contract you both signed. If you agreed on a fixed price, the vendor shouldn't ask for more money.    - Know Your Payment Terms: Make sure you understand what was agreed on about payments. Remind the vendor about these terms. 2. Talk to the Vendor     - Ask Why : Find out why the vendor is asking for more money. It could be because the cost of things they need has gone up. Understanding their reason can help you decide what to do.    - Explain Your Side: Tell the vendor how the price incr...

 I understand how overwhelming and paralyzing guilt can be. Everyone deserves a fulfilling life, and if you’ve been struggling with excessive guilt and can't shake it off, I’m here to help. Here are some effective strategies to help you manage and overcome it. 1. Let Go of Some Control Taking control of everything can lead to excessive guilt when things don’t go as planned. To move past this, relinquish some control. Understand that you can’t dictate every outcome. Like for example If you always take charge of family gatherings and feel guilty when things don’t go perfectly, delegate some tasks to others. Allow them to help with planning and execution. This will reduce your stress and help you realize that not everything is your responsibility. 2. Stop Blaming Yourself If things go wrong, you might instinctively blame yourself. This is common among those who feel guilty. You often find ways to make it your fault, no matter the situation. Take for instance, I...

There’s a cool idea out there that suggests our ancestors’ experiences might actually affect how we raise our kids today. What is Genetic Memory? Genetic memory is a theory that says we might inherit traits or behaviors from our ancestors.
