It was meant to be a beautiful Friday night with popcorn and romcoms till Mmesoma bailed on me. Apparently her situationship was in town and would be leaving tomorrow morning. She wanted to get as much sugar as she could before he travels. I don't like her situationship. He wasn't genuine, a huge red ocean but she doesn't listen.
I was hurt, but because she was the love of my life, I let it go. I had to watch something else and figure out how to stuff all those popcorn in my stomach.
I filmed a quick TikTok update and 2 minutes later, my phone rang. It was our knight in shining armour. My heart skipped a beat out of excitement without my consent and I could feel bubbles in my stomach.
"Good evening Steph," his deep voice engulfed me.
"He.. hey Dominic," I tried to act calm. The shiver in my voice totally failed me.
"Are you watching Legally Blonde? I saw your TikTok." He asked.
"Yes. My friend ditched me so I'm watching it alone."
"Ah. Solo movie night." He paused briefly. "Actually, I wanted to ask you something. I have this party I need to attend tonight and I don't have a plus one. Do you mind being mine?"
"Your plus one?" I sat up trying to understand the impromptu invitation. "You waited till the D-day to tell me about this?"
"My girlfriend and I were meant to go together but she cancelled last minute. Work stuff." He said, very casual and unbothered. Like it was information I already had stored somewhere.
I swallowed hard. There was a loud ringing in my ear and the bubbles in my stomach went completely still. I sat with it for a second. Replaying the word. Girlfriend.
"You have a girlfriend?!"

Dominic and I have been texting. Just random 'hellos' and 'his' here and there. He even followed me on LinkedIn and TikTok which is very embarrassing because he got to see my cringe vlogs and yaps. He was always the first to comment on my posts even though he couldn't relate to them.
I didn't question his intention. Why would I? If he wanted to keep fooling around and pretending to be supportive, then he should be my guest.
I never gave him my number though. He got it from somewhere and I never asked how. I wasn't sure I wanted to know.
His comments were always the first on my posts. Even the ones that made no sense to him. Once I posted about dealing with a difficult project and he commented "you're doing great, keep going." He ran a company. What did he know about difficult clients from my side of the table. But I screenshotted it. Saved it in a folder I would never admit exists, not even to my best friend.
I told myself it was pity friendship. That he felt bad about the job interview and this was his way of making it up to me. It was easier to believe that than the alternative. And if he wanted to keep being supportive for whatever reason, then he should be my guest. I wasn't complaining.
I just wished we had met differently. That's all.

@Stephintransit Those subtle little progresses are what matters. So happy that you're finding your next steps and becoming happy while at it.
You're a Star⭐

Sometimes, it's okay to pause and believe that things would sort itself out.
Since the year started, I've felt stuck in my career, my life, etc. Yes I was happy, I was showing up and everyone thought my life was good. But deep down I was missing something. But I asked the universe for a sign, I asked God to reveal my path to me. And when I kept sleeping only to forget my dreams, I almost gave up.
Recently I have been seeing subtle signs that have revealed to me that something bigger is in front of me. I just can't see it yet. And I should trust the process no matter how stagnant it felt.
I picked up writing again, I've been feeling really good about the future of late, I don't know know why I'm so certain I'll be posted to a particular place but I keep telling that to people. Shaa make NYSC no post me go Jigawa oo.
Something happened today that it might seem little to you, but it's a confirmation to me. I've never been good at getting my makeup right, doing my nails myself or making simple braids on myself. But something pushed me today to weave my hair and it felt like I could do it.
So with no tutorial, I just started weaving my hair. Although it isn't neat or perfect, I was able to d that. Thinking of it now, I just don't know ho I did it. But I did.
And that is enough confirmation.

@Superstasony A main character obviously 😌
English
There are main characters, people that assist the main characters and they are NPC's which you can tell from their behaviours. Which are you?
English
FAITH
Such an underrated verbal word.
It's the constant reminder to yourself that it will happen, even when everything around you says otherwise.
Words are power, be intentional and courageous of your words. Because what leaves your mouth has a habit of showing up in your life
English
To the boys and men, remember to smile and laugh at life.
Your happiness is yours, don't sell it to anyone or any thoughts. They're not worth it.
Happy Boy Child Day
Remember to smile. 😊❣️

The world is filled with lies, and the least you can do is to be honest and truthful to yourself.
That's the only way to grow.

@Jxs_b FIFA changed the rules so that all final group-stage games in the same group are now played simultaneously. This prevents teams from knowing what result they need and colluding.
The match is still called "The Disgrace of Gijón" — named after the Spanish city where it was played
English
@Jxs_b For those that don't know why. Here's the reason.
At the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain, West Germany and Austria played each other knowing that a West German win by exactly 1-2 goals would send both teams through, while eliminating Algeria.
Algeria had already played their final
English
@Jxs_b group game and beaten Chile, so they watched as West Germany scored early, then both teams essentially stopped competing — passing the ball around lazily, making no effort to attack. The final score (1-0 to West Germany) was the exact result both teams needed.

@Stephintransit 'in the presence of my front' you ehhhnnn 😭😂😂😂

I didn't gain admission immediately I finished secondary school so I had to go for a pre degree programme just so I wouldn't be idle at home.
When the program was going on, I made a friend and we were very cool.
After a very bad break up, she tried linking me up with someone. Normally I hate matchmaking but I decided to give it a try. Besides it might be fun to play around because I was bored.
So this guy and I started texting, I didn't like his vibe because her was boring but I had no one to text so I kept it going. He asked me to visit which I agreed to. He also said he'll give me transport fare when I was going and honestly I didn't think much of it because I know men can lieee. So I kept vex money in case.
When I got to his place, the first red flag was his height. I was taller than him😩😩😩 and at that time I was 5'7. So just picture his height.
Then he was fair. You know that custard colour? Yes that was another reg flag. Men with that complexion are always full of themselves and think they're all that. But I kept it cool. I was always giving people the benefit of the doubt.

7 months later, I was at a colleague's wedding. It was such a dreamy wedding and I was already seeing myself at that venue with my husband-to-be. Dancing to Johnny Drille and Tiwa Savage.
The decor was mind-blowing and the food was top-notch. I was grateful to my friend that got me 1 yard of the asoebi material. How would I have experienced this wedding?
"Hello Steph, we meet again for the third time this year. Is fate playing pranks on us?" I heard a voice behind me, interrupting my dance to Flavour's popular 'Ada Ada' song. I froze, my eyes would always recognize that voice any time, any day.
Stephanie is transitioning 💅🏽🔥@Stephintransit
I still remember the first time my eyes caught him in the crowd. It was a rowdy Tuesday and the traffic was horrible. Both drivers and passengers were on the verge of losing their sense of humanity. Funny how bad situations can bring out the worst side of people. I was deliberating between listening to Willow Smith and paying attention to the insults hurled by two passengers who if asked, would not be able to give a coherent reason why the fight started in the first place. There he was, sitting at the next vehicle. I could feel his calm aura, he looked like he had no worries in the world. How can he be so calm in such a chaotic moment. He had a beautiful smile on his face, like he was reliving a lovely memory or expecting a huge check that evening. I stared at him deeply envying him. I wished I could be that calm too. Unfortunately I had a meeting to catch up to and I was already late. He noticed my stares and waved at me. I waved back as he caught me unawares. So embarrassing. I got to the meeting an hour later with soaked clothes and my make up in a terrible state. I was about to call my client when he gave me a warm greeting. "Hello, I'm Dominic." He still had that calm demeanor and it hit me. He was my client. The rest of the meeting was awkward but he was so calm about it. He was patient, kind and I almost fell in love with him. I didn't get the offer which was disappointing but he treated me to a pity dinner which I shamelessly accepted. Thinking back now, I just realised I agreed just to spend another moment with him. We bumped into each other again 5 months later. It was at a networking summit and he was among the guest speakers. He was so smooth with his presentation and he knew how to draw attention. The girls giggled at the slightest jokes and I was green with envy. Why was he getting this much attention? He walked up to me after the event and offered me a ride. But I wanted to leave with my dignity intact. I didn't want to throw myself at him especially when I haven't healed from the rejection and embarrassment I felt the other day. But he was calm. He didn't try to persuade me. He simply nodded and turned to his car. I knew he was ready to drive me home and I was crazy saying no to saving 5 thousand naira transport. But it was better than showing me I was a loose, desperate, broke girl. But I would definitely give anything to have him push back even just once. I would have said yes and let him drive me to paradise. To be continued.....

My professor used to say, ‘Everything is hard until it’s not.’ I didn’t understand it back then, but I understand it now. The beginning is always the hardest part, but with consistency, the difficulty gradually loses its grip.

Bro I can’t even banter woman ever in my life before my women go bring receipts.😂
These women fed me in uni, when Bet9ja virtual nearly kpai me.
My female friends no let me drop out, they came together to pay my fees.
And even when I graduated and needed a job a female friend asked for my cv and told me to leave the rest to her.
Today I am working in a reputable organisation that pays really well.
Chale, women are so powerful. They will make your life so easy when they like you.

Show me a man who has never benefited from a woman’s kindness, and I’ll show you a liar. 🤷♂️

I’m Ada, 29. Two years ago I thought “adulting” meant having my own apartment, a 9-to-5 job, and buying whatever I wanted on payday. Nobody told me it would feel this lonely.
The thing adulthood taught me that nobody prepares you for is this: You have to parent yourself when nobody else will.
I moved to Lagos for work at 25. My parents were proud, my friends hyped me up. “You’re on your own now!” Yeah. On my own.
In my first month, I got sick,not dramatically, just a 39°C fever that kept me in bed. In school, Mum would bring paracetamol and garri. Here, I emailed HR, dragged myself to buy drugs, boiled water, and sat alone in my one bedroom flat in Surulere waiting for the fever to break. Nobody came. Nobody even knew.
I cried that day, not because of the fever, but because I realised if I didn’t take care of myself, nobody would.
Then came the quiet bills. Rent and school fees are loud, but nobody warns you about the ₦8,000 PHCN estimated billing when you barely used light, the ₦25,000 to fix a phone screen cracked at 9pm on your way home, or the ₦20,000 hospital deposit before they’ll even see you. These bills sit silently until your power goes off or your account is empty.
The hardest part? You can’t call your mum for everything—she has her own bills in Kwara. You can’t tell your friends because they’re all posting “soft life” on Instagram and you don’t want to be the broke one. So you learn to plan, keep a ₦10,000 “oh shit” fund, and say no to owambe when your account says no.
But here’s what nobody prepares you for: it makes you stronger and colder at the same time.
Stronger because I now fix my own PHCN token, argue with NEPA, and negotiate rent without my brother’s help.
Colder because I stopped expecting people to show up. If I don’t remind myself to eat, I skip meals. If I don’t book my own doctor’s appointment, it doesn’t happen.
Last month my younger sister called at 2am crying because her boyfriend cheated. I stayed on the phone for two hours, made her tea over video call, and reassured her it would be okay. After hanging up, I sat in my room thinking: “Who does that for me?” Absolutely nobody.
So I do it for myself now. I set reminders to drink water. I take myself out for suya after a bad week. I tell myself “you’re doing okay” when the quiet bills win.
Adulthood didn’t break me. It taught me that self-parenting is real, unpaid, 24/7 work. Nobody prepares you for the silence that comes with it. But once you get used to it, you stop waiting to be saved.
And that’s when you actually start living.

What’s that one thing adulthood has taught you that nobody really prepares you for?
