If any of my future two strong twin boys ever blocks me from seeing their statuses, it’d probably be because they want to post their short girlfriend and they don’t want me to see them…

…Because I will so beef them if I see that after inheriting my tall genes they fall in love with a short lady😂😭

I got to the bus stop by 7:40 a.m., thinking I'd easily find a bus to my destination.

Imagine my surprise when it was already 8:20 a.m. and I still hadn't entered a single bus. The crowd was so much that a well-mannered gentleman like me didn't stand a chance. The slow traffic even made the situation worse because it was taking so much time for buses to arrive.

By 8:40 a.m., I finally saw a half-empty bus approaching. I fixed my eyes on the conductor's lips, and the moment I saw him mouth my destination, something possessed me.

I broke into a run!

But apparently, I wasn't the only one who had been waiting to do just that.. Before the bus even came to a complete stop, people had already formed a human barricade at the entrance.

At that point, I knew there was only one way I was getting on that bus. I didn’t want to but I knew it had to be done 😑I shook my head sadly and closed my eyes and activated one of my superpowers.

I unleashed the feral beast in me!

I don't know who that man was, but he pushed, squeezed, twisted and somehow clawed his way into the bus.

Now I'm seated quietly, staring out the window, sober and reflecting on the man I had to become just to get on an ordinary bus😑 Shame just wear me agbada.

A whole doctor🤧

Lagos, you do this one. Nice one.

First it was Solomon Buchi saying his wife isn't the most beautiful woman in the world. Now it's Aproko Doctor saying his wife wasn't even his spec. 🤧

At first, both statements sound like some of the most unromantic things you could ever say about your partner.

But I think when people hear comments like these, their reactions come from projecting their own feelings into the conversation. They react based on how they would feel if their own partner made such comments about them. There are people who would be shocked and get angry. There are others that wouldn’t even care. Some others, like myself would even find it amusing😅

And if you take a second look at these two marriages, one thing stands out with respect to how their wives responded to those comments. In both cases, their wives were not hurt or unhappy about what was said. That tells me these are couples who know each other well. They understand each other's personalities and know what their relationship can handle.

They probably felt comfortable saying those things because they know their wives aren't insecure about their looks or their place in the relationship.

Marriage no get template. You could sit for hours listening to older couples who were married successfully for years give you advice upon advice but still fail to replicate same in your marriage or relationship because every relationship or marriage is different. You guys just have to crack your own code and figure yourselves out.

The problem is usually when people think there’s a universal template. You hear comments like these and copy them without understanding the context. You know your husband or wife is insecure about their appearance or is even being bullied for it, then you go online and say something similar just because you see someone else did the same to their partner.

Not every relationship has the same emotional foundation. Emotional intelligence is knowing your partner well enough to understand what they can laugh about and what will genuinely hurt them.

I kind of disagree with the attached screenshot because this was a couple interview and a message was passed with his response. We need to learn and accept that love doesn’t always happen the way we imagined it. And his honesty consolidated what is the actual reality out there. Most times we lower some of our standards in choosing partners because in the end, some of the things we think are important to us aren’t even that important when love happens.

That being said, I think y’all bashing my chief aproko doctor, should take a chill pill. If e reach your turn, go home and whine your own partner😏🤌🏽

Earlier this week, while heading home from CDS, I decided to use a shortcut I had discovered a few days before. The plan was to cut through the street and get to the junction where I'd take my second bus home.

The street was quite busy, so I wasn't worried. I figured if anything happened, there were enough people around to witness the downfall of my assailants.

About halfway through, I heard someone shout,

"Corper! Corper, I hail o!"

I remembered I was still wearing my NYSC uniform, so I looked up.

A dark-skinned guy with dreadlocks was sitting on a low wall a short distance away. He looked excited... or nervous. I couldn't tell which.

The moment our eyes met, he threw both hands into the air and shouted again,

"Corper! Corper!"

Mumu me now smiled.

Big mistake!

As if that smile was the signal he'd been waiting for, he jumped down and started walking toward me!😦

I immediately increased my speed. He increased his too and within seconds, he caught up with me and stretched out his hand for a handshake.

I looked at the hand then I looked at him.

My brain immediately started running lots of calculations wondering about this guy.

Who was he?

What could he possibly want from me?

Why me?

Does he want to kidnap me?!

I finally shook his hand.

Without any warning, he started speaking Yoruba. The words were flying past me and I was just nodding.

He must have noticed the confusion on my face because he suddenly asked,

"Ewa Yoruba?"

Thanks to my many encounters with patients, I knew he was asking if I understood Yoruba.

I shook my head.

He switched to pidgin immediately.

He wished me well, prayed that I'd get a good job after NYSC, that life would favor me, and that all my plans would work out.

It was actually a nice prayer.

But while he was praying, I noticed another guy quietly walking toward us from behind me! I recognized the move immediately.

I have seen this scenario many times in action movies. I turned sharply so I could face him too. I sized him up immediately.

This one was heavily-built. He had broad shoulders, huge arms and a solid chest.

I looked him over and dismissed him.

I can take him.

He reached us, shook hands with the first guy, then turned and shook my hand too.

He then introduced himself.

I honestly didn't hear a single thing he said because I was already simulating how the fight would go if one of them suddenly brought out a knife or a gun but I heard him clearly when he added,

"...na me be number one for this area."

Number one ke😭

In that moment, everywhere just blurrrrr

I saw my very first patient with speech and hearing impairment today.

It was quite an experience. We spent a lot of time trying to understand each other, using hand gestures and facial expressions. Luckily he could read and write but wasn’t so learned so we still had to try to communicate other ways. It was a lot of struggle🤧

It really made me realize how difficult everyday interactions can be for people with hearing and speech impairments.

I honestly think sign language should be taught in schools, even if it's just the basics. Imagine how much easier life would be if more people could communicate with them. They wouldn't have to feel so isolated, and simple things like going to the hospital, asking for directions, or even making friends wouldn't be such a struggle.

I’ve been following what’s happening in South Africa closely. While I think some of what they’re doing is misguided and backward, I can’t help but admire how much they love their country.

They’re doing what they genuinely believe is necessary for their country to prosper, and they couldn’t care less what people from other countries think about them.

Then there’s another country where terrorists and kidnappers are running wild. In fact, little schoolchildren were recently abducted and have been held captive for over a month.

When one of the country’s leadership was asked about the worsening hardship, the person implied that selling akara and kuli-kuli is the solution.

And what happened in response to all this?

People turned it into skits and memes.

Sometimes, it feels like we laugh our way through every problem until it becomes normal. We are all responsible for whatever we are getting here.

On my way to our LGA for CDS today, I sat in the front seat of a keke. As usual, I greeted everyone generally, sat down, and faced front. I hardly ever look at the faces of the other passengers. Not exactly the best safety habit, but I’ve survived so far. Worst case scenario, I’ll activate my hidden superpowers and fight off any kidnappers that may try to kidnap me😌

A few minutes into the journey, I could hear three ladies behind me gisting loudly. The conversation was serious oh. They talked about their boyfriends, how they billed them, talked about being independent, one of them talked about her mum’s shenanigans. I wasn’t really paying attention to details.

I just assumed they were adults and continued minding my business.

After a long ride, one of them told the driver they would stop at a gate coming up ahead. We got there and it was a secondary school.

Okay dem be secondary school teachers. I thought.

Then they came to the front to pay the driver.

And they had on uniforms and schoolbags!

They were actually secondary school students!

Na once I shock.

I quickly gathered myself and moved to the back seat. There was a middle-aged man already seated there who had apparently also been listening.

As soon as the girls got down and the keke moved, the man burst into laughter.

“See wetin small girls dey talk, chai!” he said.

The driver joined him immediately.

I quietly put my AirPods in.

For a moment, I was also thinking about the girls’ conversation. Then I remembered that during my own secondary school days, I had a “girlfriend” for about three weeks. Suddenly, I realized the only reason their gist sounded funny was because I was looking at them through adult eyes.

Meanwhile, back then, I too was a small boy chasing Stephanie upandan😂

Abeg, make the girls flex.

It’s their time.
