My cousin’s school manager mandated all the non-academic staff to keep coming to school. My cousin works as a cook in the school, and the school went on vacation two weeks ago. There are no students in the hostel, but the school manager told all the non-academic staff to keep coming to school. They arrive at 8:30 a.m., do nothing, and leave at 3:30 p.m. They pleaded with the manager to allow them to stay at home and at least rest before school resumes in September, but he said, “If you people don’t see any work to do, sleep at your duty post. After all, I’m paying all of you.”

My friend’s mother-in-law came for omugwo. After staying for only two weeks, she packed her bags and went home, saying they had an August meeting. When she got home, she sent a list of things my friend was expected to buy for her to appreciate the omugwo she had come for. The list included: 1 bag of rice, 5 tubers of yam, 2 wrappers, 1 carton of small soap, 1 small bag of salt, Money in an envelope She sent the list to her daughter and told her to give it to her husband. After going through the list, my friend tore it and threw it in the waste bin. He said the list was too much for him and that the woman had disrespected him by sending the list through his wife. His wife has been begging him to calm down since then.

One man in my village asked a young, beautiful lady out, but she turned him down. The next thing he did was take acid to the girl’s house. Because it was dry season and the weather was very hot, their wooden windows were open. He poured the acid on the lady while she was sleeping. She didn’t survive the attack and eventually passed away. The man was later arrested by the police and charged with murder. All because a woman said no to him.😥

My friend went to a wedding last Saturday and sat beside an elderly woman. After watching him eat for a while, she asked, “Young man, are you from the groom’s family?” He said, “No, I’m from the bride’s side.” She looked at his plate and asked, “Then why are you eating the groom’s food?” My friend looked confused and asked, “Mummy, please, which one is the bride’s food?”😂

My neighbour became very generous all of a sudden. Last week, she cooked a big pot of jollof rice and sent a plate to my house. I thanked her and asked, “Aunty, what are you celebrating?” She said, “Nothing. I just felt like showing love today.” The next morning, she knocked on my door and asked if I enjoyed the food. I said yes. She smiled and said, “Good. Please, can you lend me ₦50,000? I need it urgently.”
