I think the problem is many of you are scared of being alone. Firstly admit that you can end up alone, once you have made good terms with it then, you can be voluntarily single untill you find someone ready to give 100% like you. That fear you have, find a way to strangle it.

If a writer is genuinely worried about losing the reader, the solution isn't substitution, it is contextualization. You don't replace the word, you weave the description into the narrative. Instead of saying, "She ate a bean cake for breakfast." You should say "She bit into a hot piece of akara, the crispy outer shell giving way to a fluffy, spiced bean filling." The international audience must learn, and frankly, they want to learn. Reading literature from other cultures is supposed to expand your world, not flatten it into words that feel safe and familiar.

@drhephzibah1 Super doc

Anal pull and pain that lasts a few seconds per episode The last one had me shouting from my sleep

This is actually a brilliant observation that deserves a proper answer. You are not wrong about what you are seeing. But what you are describing is exactly how languages disappear without anyone noticing. Adamawa alone has over 40 documented languages. Bura, Vere, Chamba, Gaanda, Lala, Bacchama, Bata, Marghi and more and no they are not variations as you pointed out. But most of them are slowly being swallowed by Hausa and Fulani because those are the languages of trade, mobility and survival. So yes, your Borno security guard speaks Shuwa Arabic and your Sokoto okada man speaks Hausa and they understand each other perfectly. That does not mean only one language exists. It means one language won the economic argument. This is what linguists call language assimilation. The dominant language does not erase the others overnight. It just makes them less useful for daily survival until the younger generation stops learning them entirely. Now here are the facts. Ethnologue, which is the world's most authoritative database on languages, currently documents 520 living indigenous languages in Nigeria alone. Not dialects. Languages. Nigeria has also already lost 12 indigenous languages or more to extinction. Gone forever. The Middle Belt is where this becomes undeniable. Plateau State alone has over 50 distinct languages. Keyword "Dinstinct". Benue has Tiv, Idoma, Igede and more. Taraba has communities that cannot understand their neighbours two villages away without a translator. Your Yoruba example actually proves the point perfectly. The fact that a Yoruba person can move across the Southwest and be understood is evidence of one dominant language absorbing regional variations over centuries. That process happened. It is still happening everywhere else in Nigeria right now. Now I am willing to bet you have never heard of Hyam, Ngas, Mwaghavul, Berom, Amo, Buji, Sura, Anaguta, or Irigwe from Plateau State. Or Kilba, Huba, Bura-Pabir, and Chibok from Borno. Or Mumuye, Jenjo, Yukuben, and Wurkum from Taraba. Or Tur, Nyandang, Kugama and Taram further into the riverine communities nobody talks about. Or what about Igala, Ebira, Bassange, Bassa-Nge, Kakanda and Oworo from Kogi alone. I have not even touched Rivers, Cross River, Bayelsa, Edo, Ondo, or Nasarawa yet. You want to know exactly where each of these is spoken? You will have to tour Nigeria for that. And I promise you, this country will humble you in ways no map ever could. The 500 languages are not cap. Most of them are just quietly dying (Bura has an estimated 11,000 speakers with most young Bura people now not able to speak the language) while we debate whether they exist. And that is the real conversation Nigeria should be having.

@frjamesa Happy birthday Father

Friends, today I turn 40, and my heart is filled with gratitude. Please join me in thanking God for the gift of life, grace, mercy, and every blessing along the journey. Truly, it has all been by the grace of God. I am deeply grateful to my family, friends, and everyone who has walked with me, prayed for me, supported me, and shared in this journey to this moment. At 40, I pray for even more strength and grace to do more, love more, serve more, and become more of what God has called me to be. Thank you for being part of my story. May God bless you all abundantly. 🤩🙏🏽

@MarinatedTurks Princess WILL be fine again ❤️❤️

Princess, daddy isn't as strong as he used to but i am trying my best to ensure he stays alive. I lost a huge sum to a friend, i was evicted from my apartment unjustly and most of my properties destroyed. I have been out of business for 4 months. I don't trust people as much but i am still alive surprisingly.. I still never cuss at people's parents even if they try that nasty thing with me first. I have not danced in the rain since after Beth.. I don't sing anymore, i don't play any instruments anymore. I still give my last at my own detriment. I am trying to make your dreams come true and it's not been easy. Princess, i hope i am making you proud irrespective of all roadblocks. When i finally move into another place, i will start all over and this time i will multiply my hustle and be shameless about it. Princess we will and everything will be fine again❤️.

In all these, Can we all conclude that the Men cheated first and their Wife's retaliated.?
