Challenge time

They are the first set of soldiers that noticed the injustice and corruption in the Nigerian Army while fjghting Boko haram in the North East in 2014 , they are the first soldiers that fought vehemently against Boko Haram, but later discovered how some generals never wished the fight to end , these soldiers stood their ground and refused to be used as bait, BOOOM!! they became the enemy of the state. Arrestedd and jailed for years but were later pardon by the administration of President Buhari and later were dismissed without compensation
Some of them are now local shoe makers , fishermen ,traders pastors etc , the country they served with passion and zeal , serves them breakfast, the Boko Haram who are the destroyers of the nation are being rehabilitated and compensated 🥺
What an irony 💔

The day a Nigerian father in the UK called the police on his own daughter, people thought he had lost his mind but he hadn’t. He had simply understood the gamebefore it destroyed his home.😎

She is 14. Back in Nigeria? Calm. Respectful. No issues.

Even when they first relocated to the UK, she was still that same good girl.

Then suddenly something shifted.

“Shut up,” she told her mother one day, when her mum corrected her.

The mother froze.

Maybe it was a bad mood.
But it didn’t stop there.

If her father spoke, she would stand chest to chest with him, eyes locked, almost daring him.

Like she was waiting.
Waiting for something.

At first, they thought it was teenage phase.
But this one didn’t feel normal.

It felt calculated.

One day, the father asked her to do something simple.
She refused.

She stood right in front of him and said, boldly,
“I’m not doing it.”
And then she waited.

That moment… that silence… that eye contact…
She was hoping he would react.

You know that Nigerian reflex.
That “I will show you I’m your father” reaction.
But her dad did something nobody expected.

He picked up his phone and called the police.

The mother panicked.
“Are you serious?!”

He said calmly,
“If I touch her, they will carry me. Let them carry her instead.”

When the police arrived, he didn’t shout.
He didn’t explain too much.
He just said,
“Please take her.”

In the UK, once a child starts acting out like that, they often süsp3ct m£nt@l health issues.

So the officers said they would take her for evaluation.

The moment she heard “mental health”
Her confidence disappeared.

Immediately.
She started begging.
Crying.“Please, mummy… please, daddy…”
But het father didn’t move.
“Take her,” he repeated.
And they did.

That night, the house was quiet but heavy.

The next day, social services showed up.

They said,
“She’s been crying non-stop. She wants to talk.”
The father said,
“Not yet.”

On the second day, they said
“She hasn’t eaten. She keeps begging.”

Finally, he agreed to see her.

The moment she stepped back into that house,
She didn’t argue.
She didn’t stand tall.
She went straight to the floor.
Kneeing.
Crying.
Begging.

That was when the truth came out.
Her friends in school had told her.

Provoke your parents, they told her.
Make them hit you.
Report them.
The government will take you away, give you a house, money, freedom, iphone with free WiFi.

In her mind, she was about to upgrade her life. 😀
New phone.
Freedom.
Soft life.

But she didn’t know one thing
Not every parent will play the role you scripted for them especially Nigerians.

Her father didn’t react.
He redirected.
And the script, flipped on her.

My STORY EPSODE 4
Shaving sticks

Reflecting on my secondary school days, I realized that life is a stage-by-stage process. There are many things we don't understand until we reach a certain stage. I'm about to share a humorous story. When I was in secondary school, I would help my mother with her sales when she was not around. However, I only understood the usefulness of cotton wool among her products, but not sanitary pads. I was selling them without comprehending their purpose. I couldn't ask my mother because, as we know, African mothers don't entertain seemingly useless questions. What struck me was that mostly women purchased these products.the one surprise most is shaving stick i begins to surprise how woman will be buying shaving stick ; I wondered why women were buying them. As a student, I would ponder in silence, thinking that perhaps some women had beards. All I knew was that men used shaving sticks to shave their beards. but I'm scared to ask my mother, but I observed that about 95% of the shaving stick we are selling bought by women.
until I got married when my wife bought shaving stick humm that when I understood the used of shaving stick. 🙃
Moral Lesson: whatever you understand now sooner or later will understand.
Let's laugh small and share it..

My STORY EPSODE 3
ME AND MY MOTHER

During my secondary school days, I regularly visited Lagos Island on weekends to engage in my small business. My mother, who had her own business, would often offer me guidance. However, one day, we had a disagreement. What led to this disagreement? Let me explain. On that day, heavy rain hindered sales, and after a while, I decided to head home. But my mother proposed an innovative idea - selling shower caps. Although I initially rejected the idea, because then I was in sss class which mean I'm a big boy then but unfortunately my mother also got angry seriously because I refused to abide the idea of shower cap ,then my mother took a big stones i mean heavy and big stones to stone me but as a smart boy i wave the stones, that when people in the market notice that me and my mother have misunderstanding they shout what happens between mama and pikin, that how they intervene in the matter, they talk to me that i should not disobey my mother because she is trying her best on me, market vendors encouraged me to reconsider my decision. I took their advice, then I decide to accept my mother idea by selling shower cap humm immediately I collect the shower cap the spirit of business enter me straight, the first two dozen she gave me, I sold it finished less than ten minutes, I came back collect another three dozen, still sell it off ,still come back on till i finished all the shower cap she has then both us started laughing and the market people also said we thanks God no more fights.
MORAL LESSON: Did you know since that Day I'm not scared of doing any business except stealing.This experience taught me the value of listening to advice and being adaptable. My mother's inspiration has given me the confidence to pursue various business ventures, and I'm grateful for her guidance...
