Before the spiritual realm completely bows to a man, it will first demand to see exactly how much of his own grief he is willing to swallow. The legend of Reverend(Dr.) Uma Ukpai does not begin with blind eyes opening. It begins in the belly of a river, on the darkest afternoon of his existence.
It was the 1980s and Uma Ukpai was en route to a crusade in Ohafia. His driver, carrying his children and a cousin lost control. The car skidded off the asphalt, crashed, and plunged violently into a deep river.
The water didn't negotiate, it roared in through windows and doors, cold and merciless, dragging them under. He watched it happen. And like a man whose actual heart was sinking to the riverbed, Uma Ukpai threw himself into the raging current to fight the tide. His wife went in right after him, throwing herself into the watery abyss in a frantic, desperate struggle to pull her babies from the deep.
But water is a ruthless thief. By the time the river settled, it had taken its tithe. Two of his children were gone.
The grief was immediate, suffocating, and absolute. His wife was entirely shattered, weeping over the lifeless bodies of her children. For any normal man, the ministry would end that day. You would curse God. You would cancel the crusade. You would take your dead home and never do ministry.
But Uma Ukpai did something that still sends shivers down the spine of anyone who hears the tale today. He laid the bodies of his children in a vehicle, looked at his weeping wife, and made a decision that defied human comprehension.
He left his dead children, washed his face, and went straight to the crusade ground.
The crowd had no idea what had just happened. They only saw a man take the microphone. He didn’t cry on stage. He didn’t ask for pity. With the bodies of his children growing cold just miles away, Uma Ukpai preached with the ferocity of a wounded lion. Miracles broke out, cripples walked and souls were saved in their thousands.
He fought the devil on the crusade ground, and only after he had finished the assignment, only after he dropped the microphone did he go back to face the agonizing reality of burying his children.
Some stories are not meant to be argued, they are meant to sit with you in silence because there is a kind of fire that water cannot quench, a madness to conviction that human logic simply cannot dissect.
This story forces a question most of us spend our entire lives avoiding: What exactly remains of you when life violently extracts something you cannot replace, yet still demands that you continue?
So, when next life starts pressing you small, the road turns hard and your resolve begins to thin into contemplating giving up on your dreams. Remember there was a man who paid his transport fare to the pulpit with the bodies of his own children.
Because in the face of absolute tragedy, many will break. Some will bend, scar over, and carry on.
But a rare, terrifying breed of men become the kind of fire even water cannot quench.

I don't body shame people but anyone who tries it with me will know that my tongue is not bridled.
Rage🌸✨️@softangrygirl
I got body-shamed by a friend today and honestly, I didn’t even feel bad because I’m used to it. But I might start distancing myself from her after this weird thing she said. She has always joked about how tiny or flat I am compared to her (derogatory), you know the usual skinny jokes that aren't a joke people do. But then today she said anyone who would date me is probably a paedophile because I look like a child.

@EMI__CONCEPT @iamhalimat_ Oh please, say what you are sure of.
I went to a Catholic secondary school and the Non Catholics had a place where they had their own service. They had reverends and pastors who came to visit them and officiate Sunday services.
English
What is crazy about all of this is that I still haven’t seen a non-Catholic tweeting that Catholics should leave Lent and join HC.
Catholics, however, have had the most colourful things to say about something that is frankly not their business, since yesterday.
Oyiga Micheal@Nsukka_okpa
I’m rarely found in religious debates because I believe the race of faith is personal. It’s yours to run. If people feel led to join Hallelujah Challenge, let them. If Catholics choose not to, let them. Faith is not a competition: allow everyone to walk their path with God.
English
@emmailoghama That they ditch the drum in the choir and go back to hymns and solemn songs.
Make my ear rest small. And removing the Gloria, Mass don shorten by 10 minutes.

Catholics on the TL, what is your favorite part of the Lenten season?

I grew up adoring Mahatma Gandhi. I don't know what bullshit they taught in school that influenced that adoration.
Then, I picked up books.
That guy was a racist piece of garbage - absolutely detested Africans.
One of his life goals was to see a world where, he didn't mind Indians inferior to the whites as long as they were classified superior to Africans.
One of the first "fights" he fought on landing South Africa was the enforcement of two separate entrance doors for whites and Africans.
Please pick up history books. It will shock you the amount of reinforced revision we were forced to ingest as children.
Just be open minded, be malleable - because you'll find punctured holes in the very religion, tribe and ideologies you adore.
Fuck Mahatma Gandhi.

I remember when I wrote my histology exam in 3rd year.
I can swear I saw ovary 3 times.
Because you identify the organ, the epithelium and the other bla bla questions following it.

I once marked a junior’s script and they legit wrote fibroblast as the answer to every single histology slide 😂😂. From 1 to 20, everything was just fibroblast.
And I get the person like mad because what even was histology😂😂?

The hormonal contraceptive pill: the combined pill, which contains the hormones oestrogen and progestogen, has been classified as a group 1 carcinogen - meaning there's sufficient evidence that it can cause cancer in humans.
The mini pill, which contains progestogen only, is currently categorised as Group 2B, meaning it's considered “possibly carcinogenic” to humans.
See the cancer sites shown in the table below.

Quick update: the proposal I submitted didn’t go through, client didn’t view any proposals, no interviews, and the job suddenly closed. Disappointing, but that’s freelancing. We move.

I finally sent a proposal on upwork this night. It took me two hours to craft the proposal, I basically did a work sample, loom video and step by step canva design. Fingers crossed, I'm depending on God here.
