They nearly killed me at the gym today, all because of leg press. For the past one week, I’ve been focusing on arms, abs, and chest, but I decided to dedicate Thursdays to legs. I can’t come and be building only my upper body and end up looking like Johnny Bravo. So I entered the gym today with purpose. I walked over to the leg press area and saw one uncle pushing 120kg — 20, 20, 20 on both sides. “16…17…18…” This man got to 20 and was still going. “23…24…25…” And he was doing it like it was nothing. No shaking. No suffering. Just pressing it like it was nothing. I said okay na. Let me start with leg press too. He looked at me and asked if I wanted to use it. I nodded confidently. “Yes.” He stood up, and I positioned myself. “1…2…3…” Ah ah. This thing is easy oo. So this is what people are shouting about? It’s not even that heavy. I can even beat the 25 he did earlier sef. Easy thing. Then he said, “No, you have to push with your legs first, then release the weight with this handle.” Ohhhhh. Really? No problem. I pushed with my legs, released the handle by my side, and immediately felt the force of full 120kg descend on my legs. That weight wanted to humble my entire bloodline. “I can do it. I can do it,” I kept muttering to myself, even as my legs had already started shaking as I tried to push. “Oya, release and push back with your legs.” Uncle was still standing there beside me, doing gym instructor directly inside my ear. Sir, can you not see that my legs are vibrating? HELP ME. I released it and felt the machine fold my legs into my chest. My heart nearly jumped out of my body. “You can do it! Give me 5!” Ha! Uncle, you’re still here? I pushed with every ounce of strength left in my legs, and somehow the weights moved. “Good! 4 more! Give me 4 more!” I released again and pushed with everything inside me. That’s 2 reps now. 3 more to go. I can do this. I released and pushed again. “That’s it! 2 more to go! Give me 2 more! Let’s go for 4!” At this point, I wanted to tell Uncle Motivator that he was making too much noise inside my ear, but I knew that if I opened my mouth, my soul might leave my body. So I released and pushed again. “That’s 4! Give me one more!” Finally. Last one. I released and pushed again. “That’s 4. One more to go.” Hanh?! 🤨😟 Uncle, didn’t I already give you one more before? Okay, no problem. Let me do the “last one” again. I released and pushed. “You can do it! That’s 4. Give me one more!” Ha! It’s like this uncle did not attend Primary 3. Is it that you genuinely cannot count? Because I already gave you "one more" two one-mores ago. “You can do it!” I released and pushed again. “That’s it! That’s the spirit! That’s 4. ONE MORE!” At that point, I was done. I just released the weight and allowed it to come and crush me. Let everybody rest. The next thing I saw was Uncle rushing to rescue my life. The same person that wanted to use “one more” to kill me. Me that has not even born child yet. Then he said, “Nice one bro, nice one! Rest one minute, and we’ll go for the second set.” Alákọba òshi. I just nodded “yes”, stood up, and quietly went to the changing room to shower and change. Because what do you mean by second set? Am I training for war? Uncle, I have work to do this morning, please.

@LaLigaMichael I had the same thought watching them. It will be end-to-end stuff. Do you recon they lose more chances than Barcelona?

Again, I say this admittedly as someone who doesn’t watch Bayern regularly… If this defensive showing is standard from Bayern, watching them against Barcelona would be a blast, at least for neutrals. They both might give up 5+ goals over just 90 mins. 😁😁

Bayern will regret these misses.

@Timmysofine 😂😂😂 Nice one

So a cat scan?

Lol 😂 Na God go help me for this marriage thing, because...

I hate dumb developers. You know, those ones that don't know how to think for themselves. You are given a numeric value that a user will input on the UI, "023". You're now asking me if that field will be a drop down. HOW THE HELL WILL IT BE A DROPDOWN?! Even if they don't tell you, can't you use your head? Does that value look like something you would want to use a drop down for?

The way the post punching clarity will hit so hard ehn...

@anic4uu You're used to drinking the poverty version. That's why.

The best way to enjoy garri is with just garri, sugar, and water, the rest is just for show.

Abegi! Shift! Food sellers sell boiled egg for N500 each. Boiled potatoes? You'll be lucky to get 3 slices for N300. Sometimes, it's like you people deliberately try to push away the lived reality of people. Somebody is eating to cure hunger and you're talking about nutritional value. That bread and Pepsi will last him the full . The "boiled potatoes and eggs" won't.

@ecwbenny @Hemtee20 @toylan20 Raw potatoes, you'll get what will fill you once. The aboki vendors are kind enough to sell it to you

Bread - #1000 Pepsi - #400 Butter - I dunno. Total - 1400. Nutritional Value = Nothing but diabetes and the likes Sweet potatoes - #300 Eggs - 1000 Nutritional value - Protein+ complex carbs. Good health. Healthy living is not as expensive as buying junks, you're just not ready You're welcome 🤗

@chemesiana Canceló has been consistent, surprisingly. The same cannot be said for Rashford. With the ability he has displayed, the highest Rashford can be at Barça is a backup player. Canceló, on the other hand, has shown he can be a first time player. That's the difference between them.

cancelo played just two games and the board decided he needs to be signed full time. but rashford has been playing since the summer and nothing yet on him, why?

Y'all see how easy it is? Do you see how easy it is, FOR GOD SAKE!!!

I saw my colleague have covid symptoms after taking the vaccine that was supposed to stop her from having covid. I decided there and then that I would never take the vaccine. If I perish, I perish.

@Peteraboh @OrevaZSN She... And she has written that much a couple of time before, till I stopped reading them.

@NELtheDev @OrevaZSN Do you think if he write that much you will read them?

My dream is for WhatsApp to include the option to disable voice note. When someone tries to send one, a message will appear that says, "You can't send voice notes to this user, TYPE."

Maybe the real glow-up is this: Stop trying to say the perfect thing. Start becoming the kind of person someone feels safe answering. What’s one moment you felt truly listened to on a date—by a man or a woman? I want to hear it.

There’s a soft kind of strength in letting her “no” land. Not as an insult. Not as a challenge. Not as a bruise to your ego. Just as information. Because consent isn’t only about touch. It’s also about space.

We teach boys scripts. Who teaches them how to listen without preparing their next line? Because a lot of “confidence” online is just noise… And a lot of women are tired.

@OurFavOnlineDoc Maybe we are slowly getting to the breaking point.
