The opening credits scene to an English thriller.
In which a dog hopefully does not suddenly appear from the woods, barking for its missing owner as I come across signs of a struggle…

Extroverted introvert with a career in the law but my real passions are having a noisy laugh when/where ever. Plus a wild romance with perfumes @thebamboocloset

@anniefertiti The lack of accuracy really shows up during finance reporting.
You’ll be looking at figures on the slide deck and what Facilitator thought it heard in disbelief.
English
The element of corporate governance which stresses me the most is prepping board minutes.
And dear young counsel, do not be deceived about AI coming to relieve the tedium of your note-taking.
Facilitator doesn’t deliver 100% accuracy.
Better sit with a pen and full attention.

@sugabelly There was a version of my teenage self, in the early days of the internet, who would happily drop into random yahoo chatrooms and spend hours engaging with strangers around the world.
She would be so confused about why I now loathe being added to WhatsApp groups, 30yrs later.
English
I miss the version of me that was young, carefree, on the internet reading fashion blogs, playing the Sims, Age of Empires, and Street Fighter, reading Eragon, Memoirs of a Geisha, and Harry Potter, going to swim at Nicon Hilton with my friends, going to parties all over Abuja.

@AfroVII I honestly believe his party is deliberately using him to experiment with their voters’ boundaries.

The US is really going down a weird path...

Also, doing a student grocery shop in ASDA with under £5.
Once survived on a £2 shop during a very broke week, buying from their smart-price food range.
Cans, pasta, bread for pences… good times.

Debenhams and all its floors of retail joy.

A forgotten joy in the UK? I’ll start - disposable income. Now you do one
English
@OriginalMgbeke I shall get you on board, don’t worry.
English
The Good Lord needs to free me from the joys of eating Olu-Olu plantain chips, using goat meat stew as dip.
Usually find myself done with the 3rd pack before sanity sets in.😑
English
@Ulojac @Roastcornandube Olu-Olu supremacy forever, I buy it by the box.🌚
(And that stew dip will transform your canapés)
English
@1Life_saved @Roastcornandube Lol. Is it olu-olu or Ola-ola? That's the one I'm familiar with. Nwanne you just showed me new format. Ah with goatmeat stew? Ok, I'm coming. *drives to African store.

I keep encountering fully grown Nigerian adults who find it difficult to lead.
Quite glaring in the current crop of the 20s & 30s, people with actual families of their own.
They do not pick up the reins of a project and prefer instead to await direction.
Our issues are plenty.
English
You people are doing a lot of things for love’s sake and I admire the softness of heart because at 27, was fixated on finishing a masters degree to get my money up.
Oiza@Steadi_lady
There’s a SAHM mom going through a divorce on tiktok, & she’s crashing out so badly bcos she signed a prenup that waived all her rights to everything they own &her name isn’t on anything. At the age of 27, with your two eyes, you signed that evil prenup ??? Unbelievable!
English
Returning to say it may be worth having more screen time from Noon Lee too because yasss to his impeccable delivery! Always!
Enjoyed discovering him, apparently all this talent was mainly stage bound.
Such charisma, need him in the running to inherit Giancarlo Esposito’s crown.

As someone who enjoyed its debut season, my honest opinion is: - we didn’t need S2 of “Your Friends and Neighbours”. Feels redundant, the story arc was perfectly tied up in S1. Now and having said that, hallo James Mardsen!😍 The man deserves to remain employed, so have at it.
English
A woman of culture on all fronts. ✅
Once more - upgrade for who? Tim Cook’s bottom line?

Something Nigerians do that baffles me is shame people for which specific model of phone they’re using. e.g. shaming iPhone users for not using an iPhone 17 as opposed to say an iPhone 11. After the iPhone 12, there really hasn’t been any sensible reason to upgrade your iPhone.
English
@AfroVII She is me and I am her.
Was in my 9th year of the iPhone 4, determined to go the distance when an exuberant dog on a Bahamian beach dunked the phone in the sea.
Very annoying incident otherwise, upgrade for what?
(And I feel this same apathy towards doing the same with cars).

SB had an iPhone 6 for 10 years, this one is personal! 🌚

@TheIfunanya Congrats, a beautiful milestone for the team!🥳

*Clears throat* This thing still on? 👀
We’re pleased to announce a major expansion initiative. Papi and I recently launched our most important startup yet; welcoming our newest (and tiniest) team member 🧸🤎
We’re over the moon and basking in our wonderful blessing 🥰
English
My friend to her child: “why do you think we go to church?”
Child’s response: “because we’re brown people”.
😭 Whelp.
English
Finally grasped the alternative (more outdated) use of “hedge-pig” in place of “hedgehog”.
Of course.
