Torturing kidnapped school children with hot rubber is totally unacceptable. No country will allow insecurity of this magnitude to flourish in her backyard. Nigeria is failing at this point and we are keeping quiet on something like this.

Why is Vitamin B12 often given with Metformin.? 🤔💊

A student asked: "If sore throats are caused by a virus or bacteria, how come sleeping under the fan or drinking cold water gives it?" I am surprised most people are not aware of the answer to this.

Van Gogh died broke because nobody wanted his paintings. He sold maybe one during his entire life. The art world thought his style was too immature. His brother Theo, an art dealer, kept him alive by sending money constantly. When Van Gogh passed in 1890, his brother, Theo died just six months later. That left Theo's wife Jo as a 28 year old widow with a baby and about 900 paintings nobody wanted, plus hundreds of letters. Here's what actually mattered. Van Gogh had written hundred of letters letters to Theo and Jo explaining individual paintings and his life as an artist. He told them the stories behind each work, what he was trying to express, what each one meant to him. After both brothers died, Jo remembered these letters and published them. That's what made him famous. People could read Van Gogh's own words about each painting. The works stopped being random art and became stories he had experienced. The paintings got context directly from him explaining what he was doing. Jo gave the world Van Gogh's voice attached to his work. By the time she died in 1925, he had gone from total unknown to art historical icon.

A guy gets pulled over for speeding and the officer said, "What's your name son?" He replied, "D-d-d-dav-dav-david, sir." The Officer looked at him suspiciously and said, "Oh, do you have a stutter?" The guy replied, "No sir, my dad has a stutter and the guy who filled out my birth certificate is a jerk.”

Imagine being their cousin that is a perfume vendor.

My lekki store cleaner Theo is a quiet unassuming kid, who comes in to clean the lekki store and he has done this for 2 years. I was always busy with tasks and rarely had time to interact with him. Something sparked a curiosity in me and I asked him, when will you go to school and get a degree. He told me "I have a degree sir". I asked University or Poly. He said "University degree and I graduated with a B.A in Education". I immediately asked him to drop the broom and sit down. Right there I interviewed him for an operations coordinator position, made him an offer and quadrupled his salary. I bought him two suits and shoes the same day. Let me tell you the last 3 weeks, he has been an incredibly reliable employee that has optimized our store operations at House of Lunettes. He loves the job and he may feel it is luck, but he is a good human being that many people spoke highly about. I am very happy for this kid and I plan to mentor him to become a highly competent professional. Future is very bright Theo!

I’ve been working on a 2-page healthcare dashboard that explores patient profiles, care outcomes, satisfaction levels, and readmission patterns. The goal is to understand how effective care delivery is, how patients respond, and where hospitals can improve outcomes using data.

That battle you fight with yourself daily, hating yourself, being too critical about your outcomes, selling yourself short, pushing others up while pulling yourself down. Bin it with 2025. #Binit

I forgot I was par boiling rice and only realised like 40 mins after. Didn’t even run to the kitchen, just slow walked there because I knew it’d be burnt to black crust, only for me to go and find that the gas had finished halfway. Never have I been grateful for gas finishing.

I don’t go out much but when I do I regret it immediately

Feeling like dropping baking tips this morning especially for my people using the mix so here goes: - If you’re going to use evaporated milk, especially one as thick as Hollandia, please dilute it with some water. It’ll make your moist banana bread loaf lighter and not too sweet! If you’re using powdered milk that you’ve mixed with water, then you’re good. No need to dilute as it already has water. - Greasing your pan with butter is way better than greasing with oil or not greasing at all. - If the pack says 2 large eggs per pack, then don’t do more than 2 eggs per pack. Stick to instructions at the back 🙏 - Best way to check if your loaf is ready is to drive a skewer or toothpick in to see if it comes out clean. Sometimes it could look ready but not be fully baked… especially if you baked on very high heat. - You can use whatever toppings of your choice. Get creative 😁🤭❤️ Happy baking, Chowper. Don’t forget to tag us to your reviews/videos. Thank you ❤️ Do you have any other questions? 🤔

Recently on my TikTok live, we talked about this new Tax system, the one that says if you earn below ₦800,000 annually, you won’t pay tax. And everybody seems happy. Maybe some of you don’t know what annually means. Let’s calm down and do simple math. ₦800,000 a year is ₦66,000 a month. Do you know it is impossible to survive in present-day Nigeria on ₦66k? Anybody claiming they can is either drowning in debt, living on someone else’s support, or simply being dishonest. But “Once I get my LLC I will evade the tax” typical Nigerians. Before APC in 2015, when I was in Uniben, I used to survive on ₦10k a month. On days I was tired in the hostel, I would stroll out and buy ₦110 bread and beans with sachet water. To get by sometimes. Today? That same basic meal is ₦1,050, and that is just one meal that might not even hold you for the whole day. Now imagine an officer earning ₦77k a month, that’s ₦994k a year. Under this new law, he still has to pay 15%. What exactly does ₦77k do for anybody in this economy? Can you survive on ₦77,000? Even you that are earning ₦250,000 a month, what is the quality of your life? After you remove rent, transportation, petrol, electricity units, feeding, and normal survival expenses, what is left? Now you’re to pay tax from it can’t you see the stupidity? Last month I contributed money to buy a transformer for my street. Every month, I pay for “security.” I fix my own road, my own light, my own basic survival, last year police kidnapped me and stole my money. Everyday we complain what does the government do? Laugh and gist? So let me ask: Where is the money from the subsidy removal? Where is the money saved from “not defending the naira” anymore? Where is all the new revenue government parastatals are suddenly declaring? And this administration have even borrowed more than others. How has ANY of those made your life better? Why are some of you pretending this tax is a good idea? What has this government done to earn the level of praise some of you are giving them? Black people we are still selling ourselves in 2025? Why are we taxing poor people? Why can’t we have a government that shows real empathy and character? Is that not the bare minimum we deserve? Why defend suffering? Why normalize hardship? Why are we like this?

My son hasn't spoken at school in four months. Complete selective mutism since the kids started calling him "the weird craft boy" who makes things instead of playing sports at recess. He's eleven and autistic, and art class used to be the only place he felt safe until his teacher told him his projects were "too babyish for middle school." He stopped making anything, stopped talking about his ideas, just came home every day and disappeared into his room with the door closed. Last week he was watching me work on snowman decorations for my online shop, these whimsical couples I make and sell for people's holiday mantels. Didn't say anything, just sat on the couch observing while I hot-glued fabric scarves and painted faces. Then two days ago I came home from work and found him in the garage surrounded by foam balls and fabric scraps he'd pulled from my supply bins, hands covered in paint, completely absorbed in creating these two figures. He'd been working for six hours straight without stopping, something he hasn't done since his teacher destroyed his confidence. He made himself and his little sister. The boy snowman has the same serious expression my son gets when he's concentrating, the same careful attention to detail in every button and hat decoration. The girl snowman is wearing pink because that's all his sister will wear lately, has flowers on her scarf because she picks dandelions for him every day after school. This is his first complete project since September, the first thing he's made that wasn't for a grade or an assignment, just pure creation because he wanted to express something he couldn't say with words. When he finished he asked if people would think they were stupid, if kids at school would make fun of them like they make fun of everything else he makes. I told him they were incredible and he needed to see that I wasn't just saying it because I'm his mom. He finally agreed to let me post this after two days of me begging, but he's been refreshing my phone every ten minutes checking for comments, needing to know if anyone besides me thinks he's talented. I buy a lot of my supplies from other crafters online, and I keep showing him their work trying to prove that handmade art matters, that people value things made with this much heart and skill. So what do you think? He's reading over my shoulder right now, hands still shaking slightly, waiting to see if anyone else sees what I see. Credit - Katie Thomson

If your husband who wore yellow native today comes home this night dirty and looking rough, abeg, give am robb. 😂😂😂 We warned him. Everyone begged him. “Oga, make the bus stop before you come down” “No worry. Driver, just dey go, I go jump down, no be today”. He was talking to us like we were novices. He even added “Igboro ni won bi wa si”. Before we say jack, e don jump down. Gurugburugbugbu, I have never seen anyone tumble like that before. He rolled than the danfo tyres. I first think say na eja kika dey ground. We had to stop in front to check back on him. By the time he stood up, he was looking like he missed death in Afghanistan by a second. He gave us thumbs up to continue our journey but I can see the limping. Jumping down from bus has techniques but your husband get agidi. I laughed no be small.

His wife had to work on thanksgiving and he was pissed 😭😂 watch his joy when she returned

This interview is too funny 😂 😅😅 but I like the guy and how Timi constructed his questions

@aurabytoks You still resumed with the cornrows ??😅

Everywhere first blur😂 I didn’t have a wig then and the other candidates wore wigs so I thought to myself “who will pick me with my cornrows?” Long story short. That interview was on Friday and I got a mail to resume on Monday. Don’t ask me what I did😭

hi, ex gf here that he discarded back in Feb the reason why you feel that way is bc guess what… he never had it this is him smoking a cigarette while on chemo (or so he claims) back in October when we went to a wedding tg :) the way he tries to hide 🚬 once he notices the 📸

Yall are liars. Nothing good comes from showing a man you like you him. I actually get better results when I’m mean to them
