I almost lost my testicles. Twice

Also: Why do so many Nigerians use soy sauce? [View in browser](=.-HtwyDvOBQhdKhJegJI2Ex0Ilw0ukBWWBW5sr6cfOok) [Zikoko Daily] 20 December, 2023 Hey . Do you have light in your area? I’m looking for where to relocate to before I finish using the small money I planned for Christmas chicken to buy fuel. In today’s newsletter, we explained the curious love affair between Nigerians and soy sauce (I thought we only used maggi and crayfish 👀), compiled a list of artists to watch out for in 2024 and spoke to someone who almost lost his testicles twice. What are the odds of that happening twice?! Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [How I almost lost my testicles.

We usually paid our DSTV and electricity bills through her, and I’d also get cash from her sometimes. I initially found her arrogant, but I mentioned this to her, and we grew cordial. My husband relocated to the US a few months ago, and I just joined him recently. I had to use his phone one day. That’s how I discovered he’s been dating this woman. She even claimed to have aborted a pregnancy for him while still married to her own husband. I’m still shocked I never suspected it while we were in Nigeria. I just know he’d always talk about this lady: how saucy she is, how she doesn't seem to have a good marriage, or how she drives a car but her husband always treks to work in the mornings. One time, he told me she just got a job and now earns ₦400k. I wondered how he got to know that, but I didn’t think too deeply about it. I never suspected a thing. I am so broken to find out about their relationship only now that we’re in the US. I would’ve dealt crazily with her if we were still in Nigeria. For God's sake, she knows me, and she’s married. Should I confront my husband?” — Jums. Your story could be the next one featured here.

I thought we were all using maggi? If you have the same question, you should read this.

Money is important, but some things are “importanter”. I mean, it was mostly rich people complaining about buying fake soy sauce from major supermarkets. Their money couldn’t save them.
